Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

"Oh my goodness, we got rich this time, with so many supplies!"

"Yes, with so many supplies, we won't have to worry for a long time."

Everyone knew that the spoils were rich, but they didn't know the exact figures. Now that they heard the detailed statistics, everyone was very excited.

While everyone was discussing, Li Yan spoke up: "Now we have finished discussing the data on supplies and personnel."

"We need to consider how to place these personnel and materials, and also how to turn these favorable conditions into real combat effectiveness, so that we can truly become stronger."

Li Yan now has less than 40 veterans under his command, including the four Zhao Wus who were lost and the eight prisoners who were converted. Facing 480 new recruits, it is difficult to find enough people.

In addition, Li Yan also wanted to build an arsenal

Whether it is personnel placement or conversion of combat effectiveness, it is a very difficult task

While everyone was thinking, Song Tao said, "I haven't figured out how to convert combat power yet, but there are still places for personnel and arsenals."

Li Yan quickly said, "Hurry up and tell me. As long as we can settle it, we will discuss the situation of converting combat power later."

Song Tao didn't keep everyone in suspense: "We have been scouting for a while and found a place less than five kilometers south of us with a large hill."

"There are many caves on the hill. The largest one is over a thousand square meters, and the smallest one is several hundred square meters. It is enough to accommodate all of us."

Zhang Dong said at this time: "I did hear that there is such a place deep in Meishan. Everyone calls it the Source Cave. Even the locals would get lost if they went there."

Li Yan said excitedly: "That's great, with such a good place, our safety is guaranteed."

"We must move now and reach the source cave before dark."

After Li Yan gave the order, everyone took action quickly

Li Yan and Song Tao rode the horses they bought in Gutian Town and went ahead to scout the terrain.

In less than an incense stick of time, Li Yan, under the guidance of Song Tao, arrived at the source cave and inspected the surrounding area.

Li Yan was so satisfied with this place that the word "magic" was not enough to describe it.

There are thirteen caves of various sizes in the cave, with jagged rocks, rugged terrain, caves within caves, caves stacked on top of each other, winding, and unpredictable depths, like a maze.

There are three largest caves among them, which are connected in a ring from the inside to the outside. The caves are dry and ventilated.

There is also a crystal clear underground river in the innermost cave.

This place is perfect for Tibetans.

There are also four large mountains in the east, south, west and north that surround the hill where the source cave is located.

Each mountain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can be said that one man can block the way for ten thousand men.

If a stronghold is built on each peak and a company of soldiers is stationed there, then whenever the enemy attacks the cave, they will have to pass through the path between two peaks and face resistance from two companies of soldiers.

Even if we face an enemy regiment, it is more than enough. If the tactics are right, even if the enemy sends one or two divisions, they may not be able to break through the defense line.

Soon, a large group of people entered the source cave one after another.

After seeing the terrain here, Li Yan had already planned how to arrange it.

The arsenal can be built in the innermost cave, which is not only secretive but also has water source.

The supplies are placed in the middle cave, where the temperature is neither hot nor cold, and the place is ventilated and dry.

The personnel are arranged in the outermost cave, which has ample sunlight and is spacious. It is also connected to other small and medium-sized caves. With a little arrangement, it can form areas with different functions, such as a kitchen, command room, lounge, etc.

Very suitable for the residential population

Li Yan asked the old squad leader to arrange the layout of the place and settle everyone according to his own ideas. He also asked the old squad leader to give everyone meat and fish to supplement their nutrition every day. If there was not enough meat, he would let Shitou take people to the surrounding mountains to catch wild animals and fish.

The bodies of these recruited workers and soldiers were tortured beyond recognition by Huatai. If they did not make up for the damage done to their bodies, they would not be able to continue with the next production and training.

Li Yan brought two firearms experts with him. He was in charge of setting up the arsenal during the day and writing in his own cave at night. He was very busy.

After a week of hard work, all the production lines were assembled, and the weak soldiers and workers began to look rosy.

Among them, Zhang Dong led his men back to their original base and got two more trucks of supplies.

According to Li Yan's idea, if it is possible not to expose it, then don't expose it. Now we need time to bide our time.
