blood feud

It was already the next morning when we returned to the temporary headquarters in Raoyang County.Bai Shujie's genuine "gun offensive" finally gave Zhao Dengshun a complete victory and returned with a full load.For the Northwest Army, the sudden addition of heavy weapons for a machine gun battalion was an epoch-making event.

Bai Shujie's generosity finally won the favor of the Northwest Army.But his real purpose is not like this, but to hope that in the future Nanyuan offensive and defensive battle, the fifth regiment can use these equipment to cover the safe evacuation of Commander Zhao Dengyu, without leaving eternal regrets.

This incident has passed, but Bai Shujie didn't take it to heart.After returning to Raoyang, he asked Shang Ziyi to immediately send someone to extract machine guns and mortars from the seized supplies and send them to the Second Battalion to make up the equipment.

Before he could have breakfast, Xiao Lamei came in with a telegram: "Brother, the Red Army in the south issued a telegram yesterday, saying that it had formed an anti-Japanese advance team. Would you like to read the contents of the telegram? , do we need to take any measures?"

"Is it the 16th today?" Bai Shujie was startled: "I don't need to read the telegram, I know about it. As for whether any measures need to be taken, I don't know yet. There are many people who want to resist Japan, but they can put themselves It’s still a long way off when our good intentions come true. Let’s wait and see, let’s not rush.”

Xiao Lamei asked strangely: "This is the telegram I just received. I haven't read it yet. How do you know it? Can it be counted if you can pinch it?"

"No, I've been dealing with the Northwest Army these days, and I heard it from others." Bai Shujie realized that he had made the mistake of "leaking the secret" again, so he quickly changed the subject: "Is there no news from Chengde recently?" ?”

"I got a telegram the day before yesterday. I didn't tell you about it because I was dealing with the bandit group and you were locked up in a dark room alone." Xiao Lamei rolled her eyes: "The little devil's Mitsubishi Co., Ltd. They sent their aviation cannons and aviation machine guns to Fuxin, and that little bastard handed them over. It should be yesterday, the second batch of exchange supplies for the little devil arrived. All the heavy artillery arrived, but half of the shells did not arrive.”

Bai Shujie nodded: "Cannons without shells are useless, and the shells of the heavy artillery are only half full, which will restrict us to use these heavy artillery. You must explain this to the little devil. If the shells are not delivered quickly, we must not let people go." .”

"Also, the telegram said that the little devil's cannon and parallel aviation machine gun are all hydraulic and fully automatic, and no one can use them." Xiao Lamei said softly: "Sister Jinxi has sent six samples to The arsenal, let the workers take it apart to see what's going on. Qin Yuefang and the others are organizing people to translate the little devil's manual to see if they can find a way to crack it."

Bai Shujie quickly waved his hand and interrupted Xiao Lamei's words: "Hurry up and call them back. The aviation cannon and aviation machine gun don't need to be cracked, but must be fully automatic. As for everyone who doesn't know how to operate it, just wait until I go back!"

After resting for a day, Bai Shujie completely put himself in confinement.Tea and three meals are served by sentries at the door, and no one else is seen.Everyone has become accustomed to this kind of problem, and even Zhao Meiyan came over twice, and no longer sighed.

The purpose of coming out this time has been achieved, and there are still a lot of things to deal with in Rehe Province.Bai Shujie was worried that after he left, the three counties he had already obtained would be lost again.Therefore, he needs to confine himself to prevent all interference and plan well.

Xiong County is only a little over [-] kilometers away from Tianjin in the northeast, and only [-] to [-] kilometers away from Baoding in the southwest.The north is directly connected with Beiping and Tianjin, the east is the sea, and the south is Baiyangdian.This place is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

On the line of Raoyang and Anping, Cangzhou is more than 100 kilometers to the east, Hengshui is 100 kilometers to the south, Shimen (Shijiazhuang) is more than 360 kilometers to the west, and Baoding is [-] kilometers to the north.This is the place of the Four Wars, and there is no danger to defend.The enemy can attack from a [-]-degree direction at any time, and there is no way to guarantee the safety of the city.

Once the little devils invade North China, Beiping, Baoding, and Shimen (Shijiazhuang) will definitely bear the brunt. If there is no 30 elite army to resist with all their strength, these cities will naturally fall first.

Even if all the Jehol Front Army is pulled over, it is impossible to hold these places.Moreover, once the Rehe front army leaves the natural advantage of the mountains and mountains in Sanxian Cave, it will trade off the strengths and choose the weaknesses, and hit the stone with an egg.Chengde was lost, and North China could not be kept either. Bai Shujie was reduced to a bereaved dog and was slaughtered by others.

It was very difficult for Bai Shujie to make a decision just to let go of what he had already got.Especially Zhao Meiyan, Li Siliang and others came here with enthusiasm, just to have a base of their own.Therefore, they will definitely not give up the vast areas of these counties.

After the headache, Bai Shujie continued to have a headache.

From the second day on, Bai Shujie felt that in the long run, he should stick to the three counties.Everything has advantages and disadvantages. After empathy, he finally thought of the three old men who spent three years digging a tunnel in order to get weapons.Pushing forward from this, I also thought of the masterpiece of the Eighth Route Army: "Tunnel Warfare"!

Now the little devil still needs more than two years of preparation. If he uses these three years to let the county independent group start work quietly under the organization of Li Siliang and others, a huge dungeon can be built in three years.

Bai Shujie has never seen the real tunnel of Nianzhuang, but he has watched the teaching film "Tunnel Warfare" many times.Therefore, based on the content of the movie, combined with his own understanding of various weapons, he began to conceive the construction plan of the underground permanent fortification.

The main body of Bai Shujie's construction is all around Raoyang and Anping.Because the northern part belongs to the Futuo River Basin, Bai Shujie is worried about the groundwater, so the core of future tunnel warfare will be concentrated in the south of the two counties.It is mainly connected by Nanwangzhuang, Tangfeng Town and Wugong Town to form a huge underground fortification.

However, for the sake of secrecy, construction cannot be started from these three places. Only when the war breaks out or the red anti-Japanese base areas are fully consolidated can the common people know about it.

After three days of continuous combat, a plan marked as "Raoyang and Anping Water Conservancy Project Plan" was released.

In this plan, "drainage facilities" for various purposes are densely distributed, and the upper and lower layers are divided into three layers. Of course, there are multiple functions such as flaps, traps, and dead ends.As for the caves for hiding soldiers, arsenals, grain warehouses, combat headquarters, passageways for transporting troops, combat posts, and places for evacuating the people, careful planning has been carried out.

Bai Shujie didn't make too big a plan. It is estimated that the underground city can accommodate 10 people.The most important and most secretive part must be constructed by the core personnel, that is, the underground passage leading to the two counties from eight directions!

In Bai Shujie's vision for the future, the two counties can be completely "occupied" by the little devils and built into fortresses by the little devils.As long as you know where the little devil's barracks and ammunition depot are, you can just dig through them temporarily.Every time the little devil fills up the warehouse, he will launch a surprise attack to seize the county seat, so that the little devil will never have peace in North China.

For the water area of ​​Baiyangdian, only small groups of guerrilla troops can be used there, which is not suitable for large corps movements, so Bai Shujie didn't plan anything specifically.

By spending so much energy on this matter, Bai Shujie is just building a strategic support base for Chengde.Once the little devils occupy the entire North China, Chengde is bound to become an isolated island.In the case of enemies on all sides, the enemy's heart area must have its own raid force, and then it will be able to attack what it must save.

After completing this major event, the most important thing is to explain the work.How to explain the importance of this "water conservancy project plan" is still quite nerve-wracking.Because Zhao Meiyan, Li Siliang and the others didn't know how cruel the little devil was.

As for the labor force, Bai Shujie is not worried.There are more than 1300 bandits who have been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, and two years is enough to do a lot of things.As for the future of these bandits, Bai Shujie doesn't want to worry about it yet.However, reform through labor must be carried out before that.

Finally, after careful consideration, Bai Shujie decided not to disclose the issue of the dungeon for the time being, and kept it strictly confidential to Zhao Meiyan and others.Instead, the independent regiment was left to develop in Raoyang and Anping. Their task was to supervise the bandits to carry out labor reform in accordance with the requirements of the "Water Conservancy Project Plan".

Regarding the earthwork, Bai Shujie has already made plans.Now is not the time to protect the environment, so we will "enclose the river to make fields" on both sides of the Futuo River!Although there are bound to be many people who say that Bai Shujie is "satisfied", it is still possible to deceive others.

After figuring out the joints, Wei Chong and Wang Sanju were brought to the headquarters, and the three of them locked themselves in the room and talked for a whole day.

"You all understand the general situation. From now on, this place will depend entirely on you." Bai Shujie finally said, "If you don't understand now, you will know what I really mean when the time comes. As the saying goes, there are three caves for the cunning rabbit. We only have one cave of three immortals. Yes, your place is another core base of ours. I hope that you will devote all your energy to this matter, just like Gan Tong did when he built Sanxian Cave."

"Considering the issue of weapons here, your independent regiment can take out a battalion, still take the Gubeikou Passage, and slowly move it over from Chengde. The only thing I want to emphasize again and again is two words: keep secret, keep secret! This is about The life and death of the Rehe army must not be taken lightly!"

Wei Chong said solemnly: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. Over the years, we have all learned the importance of secret bases. If there is no strong fortress, it is impossible to stand firm. Even if the body cannot stand firmly, it will Don't talk about attacking little devils! We understand this truth, so don't worry!"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
