Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Su Shan asked curiously, "Why?"

Minister Tan kicked Su Shan again

He laughed and scolded: "When did you become so gossipy?"

Minister Deng said dissatisfiedly: "Old Tan"

"When did you become so secretive?"

"Hurry up and tell me"

Minister Tan restrained his smile and said, "What is the specific situation?"

“Actually, I don’t know either.”

"It was Mr. He who brought Li Yan to Jinggang Mountain."

“It was Mr. He who introduced it to the old man.”

"As for why Li Yan refused, we don't know."

"But Li Yan quoted a saying from Meng Jiao of the Tang Dynasty"

"Youth must be used early, how can one stay young forever"

“The elderly were greatly impressed”

"That's how Li Yan joined the front-line troops"

"Just before the main force left the Soviet area"

"The old man even went to see Li Yan specifically"

"All right"

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

"Just now you said that fighting recklessly is the behavior of a reckless man."

"Does your commander have other plans?"

Su Shan nodded and said, "Indeed."

"Our division commander led us into battle"

"If the war is not desperate"

“Never let us fight hard”

"This time we will use the strategy of increasing troops and reducing cooking fires"

"Our division commander has already brought people to Yuanbei, Dachangwu, Litian, Laikeng, etc."

"The Nationalist army set up ambushes at every turn along the route they had to take to attack Shanghang."

"At the same time, the 1st Independent Division and the 70th and 71st Regiments of the 24th Red Division were withdrawn from Liancheng."

"Follow Wudong Town"

"Secretly take over Wuping County"

"Cut off the supply lines of the nationalist army"

......

Minister Tan said: "What a good plan to increase troops and reduce cooking fires."

"Should we retreat immediately?"

Su Shan said: "We still have to hold on for another day"

"Buy time for the teachers and others"

"The other thing is to attack the national army madly."

......

88th Division

Brigadier General Feng laughed and said, "Division Commander"

"We have arrived at Hongfang Town now."

“We didn’t see any Red Bandits along the way.”

"This shows"

"The people who attacked us yesterday must be the Red Bandits from Longyan."

Commander Sun laughed

He agreed and said, "Hongfang Town is the southern gate of Longyan."

"The Red Bandits Have No Defenses Here"

"It seems that Brigade Commander Feng's guess is correct."

"If we can take down the red bandits in southwestern Fujian this time"

"You take the credit"

Brigade Commander Huang frowned and said, "Longyan is the throat of southwestern Fujian."

"Could it be that the Red Bandits really wanted to save Shanghang?"

"Abandoned this place"

Brigadier General Feng said: "Brigade General Huang"

"No doubt"

“Although Longyan is a key town,

“But Longyan is located in the center of southwest Fujian.”

"If the entire southwestern Fujian is in the hands of the Red Bandits"

"Longyan must be prosperous because of its commercial exchanges"

"But now Longyan is heavily blocked by us."

"Then Longyan has a strong city wall..."

“It’s become tasteless here.”

“But Shanghang is different.”

“First of all, Shanghang is rich in mineral resources.”

"King Chen of Guangdong has a huge demand for these minerals."

“Then Shanghang is a treasure trove.”

"Secondly, Guangdong is not our territory yet."

"Plus there is the Ting River, which goes directly into Guangdong."

“We can’t completely lock down”

"This left the Red Bandits with an outlet to exchange ore for supplies."

"So for the Red Bandits in Southwest Fujian..."

"A major city is far less important than an export for exchanging ore for supplies."

Teacher Sun also nodded and said: "That's indeed the case."

"The reason why we chose to attack Shanghang instead of Longyan was"

"The first reason is that Longyan City is huge."

"We have just been equipped with German equipment and our soldiers are not well trained"

"If we attack Longyan directly"

“We will suffer a great loss.”

"The second reason is because we know that Shanghang is the export place where the Red Bandits exchange ore for supplies."

“If we take Shanghang”

"It is equivalent to cutting off the economic lifeline of the entire Red Army in southwestern Fujian."

"By then, we just need to control Shanghang."

“Not letting a single grain of rice flow in”

"Later, we can save a single soldier and a single bullet."

"The Red Bandits Trapped to Death in Southwestern Fujian"

"But the Red Bandits abandoned Longyan and defended Shanghang"

“This is inevitable.”

"Food prices are skyrocketing across China now."

“Even our national army is running out of food.”

"Not to mention the Red Bandits"

“Also, don’t forget that Fujian has many mountains and little land.”

"The Red Bandits Rely on Fujianese People to Farm"

“I want to feed so many people”

'It's impossible'

"Also, the reason why the Red Bandits sacrificed their rook to save their king"

“The purpose is to delay time”

Brigade Commander Feng asked, somewhat confused: "Division Commander"

“The longer you delay”

"Isn't this more disadvantageous to the Red Bandits?"

"The Red Bandits have few men, few weapons, and are short of supplies."

"Do they have any external aid?"

Teacher Sun shook his head and said

He said with certainty: "The Red Bandits will not have any external aid."

“This is not a military issue”

“It’s politics”

Speaking of this

Teacher Sun's eyes became sharp

Said: "This time the Red Bandits rebelled against the 19th Route Army"

"But they announced it to the whole nation in the name of 'officials forcing the people to rebel'"

"If the Red Bandits were to shout slogans about marching north to resist Japan"

'It won't be long'

“People will sympathize with them.”

Protest against the government

"Then public protests fermented over time."

“The impact is growing”

"In order to escape the control of the National Government, various warlords

“They will stand up one after another”

"Learn from the practices of the Red Bandits in Southwestern Fujian"

"Drawing the Land is King"

“Once this situation is formed”

"The government is for the overall situation"

"We have no choice but to stop the campaign against the Red Bandits in Southwestern Fujian"

“And to appease the public.”

“The government might even use us as scapegoats.”

"Speaking of these military operations"

“We made our own decision.”

“Then we will become sinners of the nation.”

Brigade Commander Feng was full of surprise

Even Brigadier General Huang had cold sweat on his back.

Although Brigadier General Feng and Brigadier General Huang have different personalities

But they are all soldiers

Never thought of a military action

There is such a complicated politics behind it

Brigade Commander Feng said anxiously: "Division Commander"

"Why don't we stop attacking now?"

"Let the two divisions in Changting and the three divisions in the west fight the Red Army in Southwest Fujian."

“Even if you fail in the end”

"We can also protect the 88th Division"

Commander Sun said sternly: "No"

"Attack the Red Bandits in Southwestern Fujian"

"It's a military order."

"We are soldiers"

"We should follow the example of Yue Pengju and serve our country with loyalty"

"How can we do this because of these petty things?"

"Standing still"

Speaking of this

Brigadier General Feng and Brigadier General Huang looked solemn.

Stand at attention immediately

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Master, what you have taught me is..."

Only then did Master Sun's anger subside.

He waved his hand and said, "Forget it."

"You are also for the 88th Division"

“But you don’t have to worry too much.”

“It takes time for public opinion to ferment.”

“It will take at least half a month.”

"Besides, the government won't sit idly by."

"I will definitely do everything possible to prevent this from happening."

"That is to say"

"Not only can we not suspend the attack"

"Instead, we must speed up the destruction of the Red Army in southwestern Fujian."

"At the same time, as long as we can destroy the Red Army in Southwest Fujian in a short period of time..."

“Then we have a possibility.”

"Deprive all warlords of their military power as quickly as possible"

"Achieving the true political unification of China"
