Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

After Li Yan finished explaining his carefully planned strategic deployment in detail

Everyone present quickly grasped the key points

Then everyone spoke enthusiastically and expressed their opinions

Many valuable and constructive suggestions were put forward

Finally, a consensus was reached and a formal resolution was formed

According to this resolution

Li Yan was appointed as the captain of the Anti-Japanese Vanguard

Zhao Wu and Gao Xuan served as deputy captains

Fang became the political commissar of the Anti-Japanese Vanguard, and Zhang Dong became the deputy political commissar.

The old squad leader was appointed director of the political department, and Su Shan was appointed deputy director.

Lu Zhiguo serves as Chief of Staff

These eight core members formed the Anti-Japanese Vanguard Party Committee

In addition, in order to adapt the troops to fight against the Japanese

Li Yan decisively reorganized the new team

The Anti-Japanese Vanguard Battalion has three infantry battalions under its command.

In these three infantry battalions, generals Zhao Wu, Gao Xuan and Su Shan served as battalion commanders respectively.

Each battalion has four infantry companies, each company has four platoons, and each platoon has four squads.

Each class consists of 12 people

A battalion at full strength has 1200 men.

This is equivalent to a battalion of Japanese troops.

In addition to the infantry battalion, there is also a direct unit of the Anti-Japanese Vanguard

Including artillery battalion, cavalry battalion, special service battalion, engineering battalion, supply battalion, communications company and field hospital

Guard Company, Special Service Company, Cavalry Company, and Artillery Company directly under the Battalion Headquarters

Reconnaissance platoon, mortar platoon, communications platoon, medical platoon, etc.

In addition, all cadres of the main force need to be assigned one chief and two deputy chiefs.

Next is the industrial system

The old squad leader and Chu Ming are the minister and deputy minister

Then the information system director Lu Zhiguo and Song Tao

Political Commissar Fang, head of the Strategic Support Force, Zhang Dong and Kunpeng

The Dragon Blood Special Operations Brigade was disbanded, leaving only the sniper team and the assault team

Renamed Dragon Blood Special Forces

Leopard becomes the captain of the Dragon Blood Special Forces

Taoist priest serves as the commander of the special forces battalion directly under the Anti-Japanese Vanguard, responsible for the headquarters security

Guo Dali served as deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion directly under the Anti-Japanese Vanguard Corps and assisted the stonemasons in establishing the artillery battalion directly under the Anti-Japanese Vanguard Corps.

Dai Ping was appointed as the commander of the engineering battalion

Tong Liang, the Little Beggar, was appointed Commander and Deputy Commander of the Communications Company

......

After everything is arranged

Li Yan reported the content of the meeting to the three leaders

With the consent of the three leaders

Two days later

Li Yan led the Anti-Japanese Vanguard

Secretly arrived at Caijiaya Village, Caijiaya Township, west of Xing County

Then quickly disperse the people.

Zhao Wu's first battalion moved to Dongshan near Qilan County in the northeast.

The third battalion of Sushan was stationed in Chengjiazhai, Lan County, southeast of

Gao Xuan's Second Battalion followed their old squad leader Chu Ming into Guancen Mountain, 40 kilometers to the north.

Huangjiagou, Weijiatan Town

Establishing a military-industrial system

Zhang Dong and Kunpeng led their men to the southern part of Xing County.

Establish strategic support forces around Linxian, Jiaxian, and Fangshan counties

......

Li Yan led the Anti-Japanese Vanguard to officially start the construction of the Northwest Shanxi Base Area

Because we entered Shanxi secretly

Li Yan did not make a big fuss about fighting against the local tyrants and dividing the land.

The first thing he did was to bring the Dragon Blood Special Forces to "raid the house"

Although Shanxi has not fallen yet

But Shanxi had long been riddled with holes infiltrated by Japanese spies.

Many of the late Qing dynasty veterans and wealthy businessmen in Shanxi had exchanges with the Japanese.

Li Yan's first stop was Datong

In one fell swoop, the property of Xia Gong, the biggest traitor in Datong, was confiscated.

Then head south

Passing through Hunyuan County, Lingqiu County, Fanshi County, Dai County, Wutai County and finally Xinzhou

Then quietly returned to Caijiaya Village

All the way

Under the leadership of the underground organization

A total of 25 landlords and merchants with ties to the Japanese were confiscated.

Gold, silver, and various jewelry

The total value is 150 million yuan

This is because Li Yan was worried about being discovered.

I only had one big accident in Datong

The others are local small and medium-sized families

Shanxi merchants are not inferior to the world's civilization

As for the large amount of food, salt, cotton cloth and other supplies seized

Li Yan and the Dragon Blood Special Forces are small in number

Unable to bring back

Li Yan entrusted the local underground organization to take these supplies

Scattered and hidden locally

Wait for Li Yan to return to Caijiaya Village Command Center

Just let someone take half of the gold, silver and jewelry back to Yan'an

The remaining half was sent to Taiyuan to purchase machine tools, military raw materials, food, etc.

that's it

Li Yan achieved three goals in one move

First, we obtained the initial funds for the construction of the base

Second, the traitors were eliminated

Third, it alleviates the economic pressure on the headquarters

It's mid-June

Huangjiagou, Weijiatan Town, Guancenshan

Military Industrial Base

Li Yan smiled and said: "Old squad leader

"What on earth is going on?"

"Called us all here."

Su Shan said: "Yes"

"Old Squad Leader"

“We’re so busy right now.”

"Just say whatever you want to say."

“It’s so mysterious.”

Gao Xuan came over

A slap on Su Shan's back: "If you can't wait..."

“You can leave now.”

Su Shan bared his teeth: "I'm talking to Lao Gao"

"Don't you know how strong your hands are?"

"It hurts so much"

"Also, Lao Gao, you are such a bad guy."

"Want me to leave"

"I'm sure you're not holding back anything good."

Su Shan's words made everyone laugh.

The old squad leader didn't care

He smiled and said, "Call everyone here today."

“There are indeed good things”

"The first phase of our military-industrial system has been successfully completed"

Everyone's smiling faces

Suddenly surprised

Especially Li Yan

Did he know how difficult the first phase of his military-industrial system would be?

But he knew that the old squad leader's character would never be exaggerated.

The old squad leader was very satisfied with everyone's performance

He smiled and said: "Now we have Chu Ming, the deputy minister of the military industry system."

"Let me introduce it to you."

Chu Ming is not polite either

He smiled and said, "The old squad leader is right."

"We have indeed completed the first step of the military-industrial system as planned"

“But it’s only preliminary now.”

"Please correct me, leaders."

"Now, please follow me."

Chu Ming walked towards a cave.

As we walked, we said, "This is our chemistry lab."

"There are five separate laboratories inside"

The first cave we went to

"Here we follow the captain's tower method."

"Where sulfuric acid is produced"

“We also made some improvements later.”

"We can now produce about half a ton of concentrated sulfuric acid with a content of more than 70% per day."

"With concentrated sulfuric acid"

"We can use the reaction between concentrated sulfuric acid and saltpeter"

"Produces nitric acid and nitrates"

"That's the sodium carbonate laboratory. Sodium carbonate is also called soda ash."

"We use mirabilite, limestone and coal to reduce and carbonate at high temperatures."

"Obtained crude black ash containing mainly Na2CO3"

“It is made through extraction, evaporation, refining, recrystallization and drying”

"But our current technology is not yet mature."

“We can only get soda ash with a purity of about 90%”

"The hydrochloric acid laboratory and caustic soda laboratory over there"

......

"That is to say, we can now independently extract three acids and two bases."

“Although it cannot be mass-produced”

“But we have indeed completed the initial foundation of the chemical industry.”

"Now we use three acids and two bases"

"We have already produced the high explosives, nitroglycerin, and fertilizers we need on a small scale."
