Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Director Gong replied: "I don't know how the 88th Division was severely damaged."

"But with Meishan's power"

"We want to tie down the 36th and 98th Divisions in Liancheng for a few days."

“It’s still okay.”

"After the Red Army in Southwestern Fujian occupied four county towns"

"Meishan was blocked."

“I don’t know what’s going on inside.”

“But before the lockdown”

"There are tens of thousands of people in Meishan"

“After another half year of development”

"It's not a problem to have over 10,000 guerrillas and militia on Meishan

"Also, don't underestimate these guerrillas and militia forces."

“They have also received formal training.”

......

Before Director Gong finished speaking

Commander Huang of the 11th Division ran in quickly from outside

Hand the telegram directly to Commander Luo

Said: "Military commander"

"We have contacted the 88th Division"

"The 88th Division suffered heavy losses in Longyan"

"Now we have retreated to Longshan Town"

Commander Luo quickly glanced at the telegram

Stand up immediately

Angrily slammed the telegram on the table

He shouted: "The Red Bandits actually dared to burn Longyan!"

After Commander Luo said this

He started walking back and forth in the headquarters.

The people in the headquarters quickly picked up the telegram on the table and passed it around.

Soon

Everyone's expressions became complicated

Commander Huo of the 14th Division turned pale: "Isn't the Red Army disciplined and dedicated to saving the nation and the people?"

"The fire not only burned down the entire Longyan City, but also killed thousands of us."

“How dare they do such a brutal thing?”

Commander Li of the 67th Division, who remained silent

At this time, he shook his head and said: "This is imitating Zhuge Kongming's burning of Xinye City."

"A city in exchange for a victory in a battle"

"Besides, didn't the telegram say that Longyan was an empty city?"

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this.”

"On the contrary, I think Li Yan is as cunning as a fox and ruthless."

“Not yet bound by secular morality”

“It’s hard to deal with people like this.”

Everyone was silent

Although the fire in Longyan killed so many people, it was against the will of heaven.

But war is not a matter of life and death

Where are there so many moral constraints?

For these generals with blood on their hands

What is the difference between killing someone with a knife or a gun and burning them to death?

Who are you to blame others?

Commander Luo also stopped walking back and forth

Concentrate your thoughts

He asked faintly, "Master Huang"

"Did it tell me what to do next?"

Commander Huang of the 11th Division said: "Our superiors told us to take advantage of the fact that the Red Bandits are not yet firmly established."

"Attack immediately"

"A fight to the death"

Commander Huang's words once again caused commotion in the command room.

Commander Huo of the 14th Division said: "After our three divisions passed through the sniper fire from Shifang Town and Dachangwu..."

“The remaining people are only 1.5 people.”

"Plus the consumption of ammunition and supplies"

"If we fight the Red Bandits to the death now"

“We don’t get any advantage.”

Commander Huang of the 11th Division also said: "Yes, Commander."

"According to Director Gong's statement"

"There are more than 1 Red Bandits in front of us now."

"Plus they have a geographical advantage."

"If we attack blindly"

'The odds are against us'

Commander Luo glanced at Commander Li of the 67th Division.

Asked: "Master Li"

"People say you are experienced and good at reading people's hearts."

"Look, old man, let us attack immediately now."

"What does it mean?"

Commander Li of the 67th Division

After thinking for a while, he said, "Commander Huang has just reported the situation here to his superiors."

"The superiors must be aware of our current situation."

"Also let us attack immediately and fight to the death"

“I think there must be some deep meaning in this.”

Commander Luo nodded and said, "Oh."

"Master Li, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."

Commander Li of the 67th Division said quietly, "We all know that."

"This time the Red Bandits attacked Changting"

"It's because there are problems within the Red Bandits"

"It gave us a reason to reoccupy Fujian"

“If this reason is used properly”

"Even the entire Red Army can be wiped out"

“But these red bandits”

"The clever use of the phrase 'officials forcing the people to rebel'"

“Turning things around”

"Also, the Red Bandits in Southwest Fujian are targeting the 19th Route Army's organization."

"That is to say, they were rebelling against the 19th Route Army."

"This means we can only eliminate the "rebels"."

"And we must not involve the Red Bandits and the 19th Route Army"

"But we still have a strategic advantage here."

"As long as we advance slowly and eliminate the rebels"

"The 19th Route Army would be left with no choice but to stand alone."

"Then they bribed and separated us."

“We can reoccupy Fujian”

“But don’t forget.”

"Local warlords in several southern provinces plus the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army"

"But just like the 19th Route Army, we haven't received our salaries for three months."

“The reason they haven’t risen up yet is because

"Because we are equipped with 16 German-equipped divisions this time."

"So they dare not act rashly"

"But now the 88th German-equipped division has been severely damaged."

"Broken the myth of the German-equipped division"

“Get them going.”

"So we had to attack immediately and fight to the death."

“To shock them anew”

Commander Huo of the 14th Division frowned and said, "We are not at an advantage in any aspect right now."

"If we fight quickly"

"50-50 chance of winning"

"If we win, everything will be fine"

“But what if we lose?”

“The consequences would be disastrous.”

"Why don't we continue to mobilize other troops here?"

“This way we have a better chance of winning.”

Commander Li of the 67th Division nodded and said, "Commander Huo is right."

“But considering the current situation”

“Now is not the time to think about winning or losing.”

"If we don't attack now and wait for reinforcements"

“That would give other people a false impression.”

“We are scared”

"This will actually reduce those people's fear and make them rebel early."

"But we attack now."

“Those people will have reservations.”

"They will await the outcome of this decisive battle"

“This is the time to consider winning or losing.”

“But at this point, winning or losing is no longer important.”

"Except for the 88th Division, we are

"There are still 15 German-equipped divisions"

"The reason why the old man didn't immediately release the well-equipped German divisions was because..."

"Unify China by force"

"That's because the old man wants to win without fighting."

“The situation has changed now.”

"The old man doesn't care about that anymore."

"These 15 German-equipped divisions have been training for more than two months."

“Although it is immature, it is still worth fighting.”

"I believe the old man has already started to mobilize his troops."

"Once these fifteen German-equipped divisions arrive"

"Those local warlords used their military strength"

“Thinking of making big waves”

"It's difficult"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Master Li with admiration.

Captain Kang even stood up and applauded: "Commander Li is indeed good at observing people's hearts."

"Yang Xiu of the Three Kingdoms was no more than this"

Speaking of this

Captain Kang's eyes flashed with gold

He said with murderous intent: "Ten days ago"

"The old man has already sent ten German-equipped divisions"

"In the name of training"

"Secretly transferred to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi regions"

"Calculated by time"

“We will arrive at the designated location within 2 days at the latest.”
