The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1456: The Political Commissar’s Generosity

Li Yunlong could certainly see the importance of establishing a guerrilla zone in Fuxin and Jinzhou and deploying a troop.

Seeing that Huang Yu also had this idea, he quickly asked: "Do you want to stay in Jinzhou and establish a guerrilla zone?"

Huang Yu nodded and replied: "I think Jinzhou has initially met the conditions for establishing a guerrilla zone."

"We have won several major victories in Jinzhou and have also conducted several operations outside the mountains, successfully establishing the reputation of our Eighth Route Army..."

"If we can take down the settlements near the mountains, we can completely rely on those settlements to establish guerrilla zones, and then gradually extend our tentacles into the Kwantung Army's defense zone."

"It's like we established a base in northwest Shanxi and Yizhong."

"First, we will completely control an area, then send armed work teams to carry out activities deep into the enemy-occupied areas, expand our sphere of influence, reduce the enemy's living space, gradually erode the Japanese defense zone, and finally achieve the goal of expanding the base."

"Jinzhou is close to Anshan and other places, where there are many mines..."

"Attacking the mines controlled by the Kwantung Army can not only provide us with a steady supply of troops, equipment, food, and supplies, but also further expand our range of activities in the mountains and increase our strategic depth..."

"In summary..."

“I think Jinzhou has the conditions to establish a guerrilla zone.”

"Put the first regiment in the Jinzhou guerrilla zone. I am confident that within two months, the first regiment can be expanded to 3,000 people... within half a year, the first regiment can be expanded to 5,000 people..."

"And keep the Kwantung Army's Fujita Division stuck in Jinzhou, preventing it from participating in the encirclement and suppression of the Chaoyang base."

Li Yunlong clapped his hands and cheered: "If you can really establish a guerrilla zone in Jinzhou and expand the regiment to 5,000 people..."

"The number of troops operating in Fuxin has also expanded to 2,000 to 3,000 people."

"Our three armies can form a pincer attack on the battlefield."

“No matter which unit is attacked, the other two units can attack the Kwantung Army from the flank of the battlefield, reducing the pressure of the attacked unit’s counter-mopping-up operations.”

"Commissar...what do you think?"

Zhao Gang looked at Jinzhou, Fuxin, and Chaoyang on the map and answered seriously, "The benefits of establishing guerrilla zones in Jinzhou and Fuxin are self-evident..."

"Old Li just said..."

"Next I'm going to talk about the disadvantages..."

"We are already weak. If we split into three, we will be easily defeated by the Kwantung Army one by one."

"The Kwantung Army is currently short of manpower, so they can only arrange two main divisions to encircle and suppress us."

"Once all the six or seven main divisions that they sent to reinforce the North China Front Army return to Liaoning, the Kwantung Army that is encircling us will definitely increase from two divisions to six or seven divisions."

"As long as the Kwantung Army is willing, they can divide and surround us at any time and then defeat us one by one."

"By then, we will not be able to support the attacked troops through flank attacks, and can only watch the attacked troops being annihilated by the Kwantung Army."

Huang Yu confidently replied: "Political Commissar..."

"It is for this reason that I want to stay in Jinzhou and devote all my efforts to developing the regiment."

"We will strive to expand the total strength of the regiment to 5,000 before the Kwantung Army launches the next round of sweeps."

"By then, not only will I not wait for the Kwantung Army to come and sweep us, I will also try every possible way to take the initiative and disrupt the Kwantung Army's sweep plan by taking the initiative on the battlefield."

“I was thinking about this on the way.”

"Although Wei Dayong is the chief of staff of a regiment and has fought in several major battles, his battlefield adaptability is somewhat poor and he does not have the experience of independently commanding operations." "Although Duan Peng has strong battlefield adaptability and is very smart, and is full of various tactics and strategies, he has no experience in fighting major battles and does not have the ability to independently command operations."

"I plan to lead them in Jinzhou for a while."

"When they are fully grown, we will promote them and put them in charge of the Jinzhou battlefield."

"Then I'll be able to return to the headquarters and help you."

Although Li Yunlong was reluctant to leave Huang Yu, he was still very rational when it came to serious matters.

He made a decision after exchanging glances with Political Commissar Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao..."

"I agree with Huang Yu's proposal in principle."

"But the establishment and development of the Jinzhou guerrilla zone cannot rely on Huang Yu alone."

"You brought so many cadres from the interior, transfer a few to him, especially political cadres."

"Many soldiers in the battalion are from deserted work, so we must have many excellent political cadres to ensure the stability of the troops."

Zhao Gang nodded and replied: "You are too stingy..."

"With Huang Yu helping to hold back the Kwantung Army's Fujita Division in Jinzhou, as long as the main divisions that are reinforcing the North China Front Army don't return to Liaoning, the Chaoyang base will be safe."

"If the base is stable for one day, we can prepare for one more day, build a more solid base, and train more new soldiers. These are all real benefits."

"Huang Yu has brought so many benefits to Chaoyang, and you only give them to a few political cadres. How can you be so embarrassed..."

At this point, Zhao Gang thought seriously for half a minute and then made a decision: "I want to draw 2,000 people from the troops that have completed training to supplement a regiment."

"The sooner the regiment recovers its combat effectiveness, the stronger it will be, and the safer the Chaoyang base will be..."

"Doesn't the regiment already have five battalions? Give it another battalion, leaving a total of one reinforced battalion..."

"With the addition of some of the regiment's direct troops, it will be no problem to expand to 7,000 or 8,000 people."

"We will also establish an underground transportation line between the Jinzhou guerrilla zone and the Chaoyang base area to replenish troops and supplies to the other side at any time."

"If the regiment rescues too many deserters in the mountains and cannot train them on its own, it can send them to the Chaoyang base for training."

"After that, we will send it back to the Jinzhou guerrilla zone through the underground transportation line."

"It's almost the same in Fuxin..."

"After Lao Li finishes this battle and successfully inflicts heavy damage on the Kwantung Army's Gaoye Division, we will transfer the Second Regiment from Huangjiashan to him, assign him a better political commissar and a chief of staff with rich combat experience, and develop a guerrilla zone in the Fuxin area and expand the troops."

"The Chaoyang base will retain three regiments and establish a guard regiment, a new recruit regiment, and two to three independent regiments."

"Ensure that the troops can attack when advancing and defend when retreating, and continuously expand the Chaoyang base."

Huang Yu didn't expect that his group in Chaoyang could actually gain 2,000 new recruits who completed the training. This was definitely unexpected good news.

Immediately replied: "Thank you, Political Commissar..."

"With these two thousand new recruits, I promise to expand the regiment to four thousand people within a month..."

“Expand to 5,000 people within two months.”

"As long as we ensure that the guerrilla zone is not besieged by the Kwantung Army, it will be no problem to expand the base to 8,000 people within half a year."
