Bright sword: starting from the logistics department

Chapter 130 Future Planning
Seeing that Yu Shan knew what to do, Zhao Gan said to the three of them with ease, "After stopping this time, our Second Independent Regiment can be said to have reached the point where we are hurting our muscles and bones, so the next time is always the most important thing." The purpose is to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops!"

Zhao Gan drank his saliva, moistened his throat and continued, "Don't worry about the food issue. In half a month or so, the fields we cultivated will be ready for harvest!"

Li Shan slapped himself on the head and said, "That's right, we have reclaimed [-] acres of wasteland! Although the planting was a bit late, the growth rate is very good, and there should be a good harvest!"

Zhao Gan nodded and said, "So the next focus is recruiting and training; my idea is that the main force of the regiment must have at least 500 people, and the recruit company must have at least 500 people in reserve at all times. What do you think?"

Yu Shan was mainly in charge of recruiting and training, so Zhao Gan's eyes were on Yu Shan.

Yu Shan thought for a while and said, "Regimental Commander, I think it's okay! Although there are more than 1400 people in our Second Independent Regiment, more than 600 are recruits. But the basic skills of these recruits are very solid, and they have participated in such a big battle. , apart from a little problem with cooperation, you can already be regarded as a veteran!"

Zhao Gan nodded and said, "That's why I plan to build a main force of 2500 people based on them!"

Yu Shan: "Leader, how to arrange the specific establishment?"

Zhao Gan: "The current organization is still used, which is very suitable for command, and it is more convenient to disperse and unify firepower!
It's just that another infantry battalion needs to be formed, and the commander of the battalion is Zhu Qi, the deputy of the second battalion! "

Yu Shan: "Regimental Commander, I agree to the addition of an infantry battalion!
But regiment commander, after the expansion of the troops, the light and heavy machine guns should be lowered to the battalion level like now, how can the firepower of the regiment headquarters be guaranteed! "

Zhao Gan rubbed his brows and said, "The firepower of the regiment headquarters? Does the regiment still need to consider the issue of firepower? Leaving aside the assault platoon, the 80 submachine guns of the guard company are not enough firepower?"

Yu Shan continued to dissuade: "But the commander, the range of the submachine gun is too short after all, and the regiment headquarters lacks the firepower to suppress the enemy at a long distance!"

Zhao Qian thought for a while and said: "Well, you are right. Then, expand the guard company to 120 people, add two heavy machine guns, and six Czechs!"

Yu Shan nodded and said, "Yes! Now there is only one last question left!"

Zhao Gan: "What's the problem?"

Yu Shan: "Weapons and ammunition, especially light and heavy machine guns!"

Zhao Gan coughed in embarrassment and said: "Ahem, oh, weapons and ammunition, so, Yu Shan, you first draw some people from the first, second, and third battalions, and form the fourth battalion first!

As for weapons and ammunition, you and Qiming arranged for the soldiers to go to the puppet army to get them. I believe they will understand our difficulties! "

These few words of Zhao Qian directly choked Yu Shan and the others!If you ask the puppet army, if you don’t kill or subdue them, they will obediently give us the weapons and ammunition?
Looking at the constipated appearance of the three, Zhao Gan asked with a dry cough, "Do you have any questions?"

Li Shan: "No more!"

Qi Ming: "I have no problem!"

Yu Shan: "No problem!"

After Zhao Gan heard the three people's answers, he solemnly announced: "Since you are all fine, the Second Independent Regiment will develop according to the plan just now!
Dismissed! "

While the 771st Regiment, 772nd Regiment, New First Regiment, New Second Regiment, Independent Regiment, and Second Independent Regiment were recuperating and slowly recovering their vitality, the rest of the Eighth Route Army launched the second phase of the battle on September 9 of the same year. The main purpose of the second stage is to continue to destroy the enemy's traffic routes, but the rail traffic lines in the first stage have been changed to road traffic lines;

On this basis, more than 100 important strongholds of the Japanese army will be destroyed. All of these strongholds occupy major traffic routes in various places and are important hubs of the Japanese army's cage policy;

The second phase of the battle lasted more than 20 days and ended in early October of the same year.

(The end time of each part is different, mainly depends on the local Japanese counterattack time)

After the end of the second stage, the third stage of the operation was launched directly. The main purpose of the third stage of the operation was to counter the retaliatory sweep of the Japanese army;
After all, the first and second phases of operations directly and indirectly destroyed most of the Japanese Zhengtai Railway, the northern half of the Tongpu Railway, and the northern half of the Pinghan Railway;
Most of the roads in the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei were destroyed;

Nearly half of the strongholds and most of the bunkers in the four provinces of Shanxi, Chahar, Hebei and Henan were destroyed;

The chief guessed that the Japanese army would definitely take a retaliatory counterattack, so the third phase of the operation was the top priority;

In the third phase of the operation, the soldiers adopted the following tactics to harass the Japanese army: challenge curtain warfare, tunnel warfare, mine warfare, etc.;
The Japanese army finally retreated helplessly after being harassed for three months;
For the Japanese army, not only did they fail to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army during these three months, they also suffered heavy losses from the harassment of landmines, grenades, hidden guns, hidden guns, and even bayonets. retreated!
第三次行动从1940年10月上旬开始，一直持续到1941年1月24日日军无奈撤退才结束！
Although the brigade commander ordered that the six main regiments of the Second Independent Regiment do not have to participate in the second and third phases of operations, the brigade commander did not expect that the scale of the Japanese retaliatory sweep was too large. In the end, the six regiments were forced to Participated in the third phase of the action!

Due to being forced to participate in the third phase of the operation, the 6 regiments that were already injured suffered heavy losses again. However, all the recruits in the logistics department have been allocated, and in the end they can only let the 6 regiments slowly recover on their own. Rejuvenated!

On a certain day in March 1941:
Yu Shan hurriedly ran into the regiment headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment and said to Zhao Gan: "Regimental Commander, urgent report!"

Zhao Qian hurriedly picked it up and asked, "Where is it?"

Yu Shan: "Didn't you let us pay attention to something about Zhongtiaoshan? This is the urgent report from Zhongtiaoshan!"

While Yu Shan was speaking, Zhao Qian had already opened up the information and checked: "I don't know when the commander-in-chief of Zhongtiaoshan, Mr. Wei, was transferred away. It is Mr. He who is now taking over the position of commander-in-chief of Zhongtiaoshan!"

After checking the information, Zhao Gan sighed helplessly and said, "Zhongtiao Mountain is over!"

Yu Shan said puzzledly: "Head, how do you know that Zhongtiao Mountain is over?"

Zhao Gan said helplessly: "The reason why the defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain can withstand the attack of the little devil is because of the defense line designed and arranged by Mrs. Fourth Army;

The Fourth Army was transferred to Yu Province last year to guard the south of the Yellow River; with the Wei army around, based on his familiarity with the defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain, he could barely hold it;

Now that ** Wei has been transferred away, ** He has just taken over the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line, and he is not familiar with the Zhongtiao Mountain area, how and why Wei ** arranges the defense line in this way. It is equivalent to directly opening a gap for them to cut into the defense line;

Coupled with the absence of the Fourth Army, which is known as the backbone of Zhongtiao Mountain, once the little devil launches an attack, it is equivalent to a person lacking a backbone, because in the past, every time the little devil attacked Zhongtiao Mountain, it was the Fourth Army that blocked the little devil. The strongest tooth of the devil, now that the Fourth Army is gone, which army do you want to put on top!
It's not that I look down on other armies, it's just that every army has trump cards, the main force and the ordinary army. The Fourth Army is equivalent to the trump card of the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line. The trump card has been transferred, and you can only let the main force stand up to the enemy The trump card, but the main force is not as powerful as the trump card after all, so it is necessary to send a few more main forces to block;

In addition, He ** is not familiar with the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line, so there is a high probability that it will cause command confusion!

Once there is confusion in the command, it will be a matter of time before the battle is defeated;
Of course, this is just my guess! "

After hearing Zhao Gan's explanation, Yu Shan also understood Zhao Gan's worries, and asked worriedly: "Once the Zhongtiao Mountain line of defense falls, our base will be completely surrounded by little devils in their occupied area. What shall we do then?"

Zhao Gan said helplessly: "In this way, you will draw 100 elite soldiers from each battalion and let Li Li lead the team to the Zhongtiao Mountain area; if the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line is broken, let them gather as many soldiers as possible who are willing to join our Eighth Route Army." return!
As for what to do next?We don't need to think about it, the chiefs above will think about it! "

Yu Shan nodded and said, "Yes, leader, I understand, I'll arrange it here!"

That night Li Shan approached Zhao Qian and asked, "Old Zhao, Yu Shan picked out 100 soldiers from each battalion, and they were the elite of each battalion. What are you going to do? Don't you know the current situation of our Second Independent Regiment?"

Zhao Gan rubbed his head and said helplessly: "Lao Li, Mr. Wei, the founder of the Zhongtiaoshan defense line after the Fourth Army, has also been transferred away. I am worried that the little devil will take the opportunity to break through the defense line. I, Li Li, will take the 100 Let's see if we can rescue some fighters back!"

Li Shan said in surprise: "Old Li, do you think the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line can't be defended anymore?"

Zhao Gan nodded and said, "Well, I think so!"

Li Shan: "But they have resisted the little devil's attack more than 10 times before!"

Zhao Gan sighed helplessly again: "You said it too, that was before!"

Then Zhao Gan continued to tell Li Shan what he had said to Yu Shan.

After hearing this, Li Shan fell into deep thought. After thinking deeply, Li Shan said to Zhao Gan seriously: "Old Zhao, what you said is very reasonable! But should you report this conjecture?"

Zhao Gan thought for a while and said: "The chiefs should be able to guess this situation, after all, this is no longer a change of coach, and the general has been transferred away!"

After hearing Zhao Qian's words, Li Shan said directly: "Whether the leaders above have guessed it or not, we have to report it, so we are prepared!"

After hearing Li Shan's words, Zhao Gan could only nod his head helplessly and said, "Okay, then you can write a report to the brigade commander!"

Li Shan nodded: "Okay!"

Looking at the back of Li Shan walking out, Zhao Gan sighed helplessly, and muttered softly, "Worrying about nothing!"

Zhao Gan expected that the heads of the headquarters had already guessed this outcome, because after the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the little devil had prepared for several months to launch an unprecedented raid on the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang and Taiyue areas, but the heads of the headquarters However, the specific direction and location of the various ministries to break out of the siege were given as soon as the devils raided. This plan could not be formulated in a short time at all.

Because once this plan is implemented, it is necessary to give up the base area on which to live now. This is not a small decision. It requires layers of approval and discussion. Finally, in the sentence of ***, "If you lose the land, you will lose all the land; Save the people and lose the land, everyone and the land will survive." A decision was made in the words. (The specific time of this remark should be put forward in 1947)
The brigade commander received the report submitted by Li Shan the next day, and after reading the report, the brigade commander's expression turned pale, and he said to the chief of staff: "Let's go, let's go to the next door to study the report! "

Then the chief of staff and the brigade commander came to the conference room where the head of the regiment had a meeting, and asked their guards to guard the door to prevent anyone from entering.

(To explain, the brigade commander is so nervous not because he is worried about spies, but because he is afraid that this report will cause panic if it is spread out)

After the two sat down, the brigade commander handed the report to the chief of staff and motioned him to take a look at the contents!

After the chief of staff read it carefully, his expression was as ugly as that of the brigade commander, and he said to the brigade commander, "This report by Zhao Gan and Li Shan is not far from the result of our discussion. There is still some perspective on the big picture! But how could they send this report in such an open manner? Aren’t they afraid of leaking it and causing panic?”

The brigade commander laughed dryly and said: "Hehe, I think Zhao Gan analyzed this report, and Li Shan made the report idea! Chief of Staff, think about it, people with this big picture can't think of those above? "

The chief of staff thought for a while and said: "That's right, after the two of us got Wei Wei and were transferred, we also analyzed such a result, but we didn't choose to report it, but why don't we ask the two of us to go to a meeting the next day?" Discussing this issue proves that the two of us did nothing wrong. After all, there is a possibility of leaks in the process of information transmission. If it causes panic, it will be very serious!
So what are you going to do this time, Lao Chen?After all, they didn't make any mistakes, and judging from the situation now, they didn't cause any leaks! "

The brigade commander thought for a while and said, "Write a warning letter to them both, I think Zhao Gan will help us explain to Li Shan!"

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Well, that's a good idea. It can remind them without revealing anything!"

Brigadier: "Then it's up to you to arrange this matter!"

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write it now!"

Zhao Qian and Li Shan received a warning letter from the brigade that night. Li Shan showed an expression of disbelief after seeing the warning letter.

When he turned his head, he saw Zhao Gan really had such an expression, and asked Zhao Gan in puzzlement, "Old Zhao, do you know the reason why the brigade department sent the warning letter?"
