"Organize the transfer of the villagers?" Even the brigade commander didn't understand, and asked with a frown, "What do you mean?"

Li Yunlong also said with a blank face: "Xiao Wang, the devils haven't come to the door yet, so why rush to organize the transfer of the villagers? Didn't we dig a tunnel? Even if the devils really come to the door, the villagers just need to go to the tunnel. Once drilled, what can the devils do with them? There are thousands of villages in our Northwest Shanxi base area, large and small, and the devils can surround them one by one? If this is the case, wouldn’t it be like repeating the mistakes of the Guards Division? Then we can’t wait for it .”

"Captain, it's different this time." Wang Ye said, "I have a hunch that the devil will be ruthless this time."

"A ruthless hand?" The brigade commander asked with a serious expression, "Xiao Wang, what do you mean by that?"

Wang Ye said solemnly: "Brigade Commander, in fact, when the Jizhong Military Region was mopping up, there were already signs of it. For the people on the periphery of the Jizhong Military Region, the devils just drove them to the big villages, but for the people in the core area of ​​the Jizhong Military Region However, the devils have adopted a cruel three-light policy, where they pass, no one will be left behind!"

After a pause, Wang Ye continued, "That's why I'm worried that when the devils raid the Shanxi Northwest Military Region, they will increase the base of the Jizhong Military Region and implement the Sanguang policy from the moment they enter the base!"

Kong Jie said: "But the villagers have tunnel protection, what are you afraid of?"

"Captain Kong, tunnels are useless." Wang Ye shook his head and said, "If the devils are willing to spend money, they only need to dig a shaft tens of meters deep in the center of each village, and then bury a large amount of explosives to detonate it. If the tunnels within a radius of hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters are collapsed, all the villagers hiding in the tunnels will be buried alive!"

"Xiao Wang is right." The brigade commander said in a deep voice, "In the later period in the Jizhong Military Region, the devils did this, and the people and militiamen in many villages suffered."

Li Yunlong said: "How much explosives do you need?"

Wang Yedao: "Ningji Okamura even transferred eight divisions, still care about this little explosive?"

Li Yunlong was silent, because what he said was true, the eight divisions were dispatched to fight them, and it seemed nothing to get hundreds or even thousands of tons of explosives.

After a pause, Wang Ye continued: "Even if only half of the villages are destroyed, it would be a great loss for our Northwest Shanxi base area. We would rather do more preparatory work before the war, and even pay some price for it. It's better than letting the fathers and the folks die after the war."

"Agreed." Ding Wei said, "If all the folks are transferred away, we don't have to worry about this and that, and we can let go of our hands and feet and fight with the devils. If the base area really can't be defended, we can also split up and break through. It is not necessary to cause a large number of casualties in order to cover the transfer of civilians."

"Well, what you said makes sense." The brigade commander immediately said to Zhao Gang, "Zhao Gang, this task is entrusted to your Political Department. Immediately mobilize the people to transfer to Hetao. You must make it clear to the villagers. , For example, those who bring food and livestock at home must be satisfied as much as possible.”

"Yes." Zhao Gang agreed, got up and left immediately.

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "It's good that the common people leave, just like what Lao Ding said just now, now we can let go and fight with the devils, haha."

"Head, you are overthinking." Wang Ye shook his head and said, "There are more than one million people in our base area in Northwest Shanxi, and we have to bring food and even domestic animals. How much time will it take? Can they all be transferred across the river? Especially the people in the Fuliang mountain area, it takes ten days and a half months to walk to the bank of the Yellow River with their families."

After a pause, he continued: "Considering the ferry capacity of the only few ferries, and the fact that the devil's air force will definitely come to make trouble, there is a high probability that you will not be able to cross the river during the day, and you can only ferry at night. It will take at least two months to transport more than 100 million people, food and livestock across the river!"

"What, two months?" Li Yunlong was stunned.

Wang Ye said in a deep voice, "Two months will only be more, not less."

The brigade commander said solemnly: "That is to say, we have to hold the base for at least two months?"

"Yes, at least two months." Wang Ye nodded, and then said with a smile, "However, if you think about it the other way around, this is a good thing, because it means that the arsenal can reinstall for two more months." With more bullets, we can have more than 300 million rounds of bullets and 10,000+ rounds of artillery shells, and we can kill many more devils."

The brigade commander nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Then the combat objective can basically be determined."

After a pause, the brigade commander continued: "The goal is to stick to the northwest of Shanxi for at least two months, to cover the people's transfer to Hetao, and to kill and wound the devil's vital forces as much as possible!"

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie all nodded.

At this time, Cheng Yue hurried in with a telegram.

After reading the telegram, the brigade commander said with a smile: "The request of the headquarters coincides with our opinion. The head of the headquarters also asked us to stick to the base area for a period of time to cover the people's transfer to Hetao and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. Massively killed the vital forces of the Japanese army and contributed to the national war of resistance!"

Ding Wei snuffed out the cigarette butt, and said in a deep voice, "I won't say how much contribution we can make, but at least we must destroy the eight divisions that participated in the sweeping of our base areas in Northwest Shanxi!"

But Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Commander Ding, I have a different opinion on this point."

Although Li Yunlong and Ding Wei have been promoted to commanders of the detachment, former battalion-level cadres like Wang Ye, Guan Dashan, and Li Xiaoxian still habitually call Li Yunlong their regiment commander, just as Wei Dayong, Duan Peng, and Wei Xilai are also used to Call Wang Ye the captain in a casual way, because it is more cordial.

"Really?" Ding Wei smiled, "Then tell me."

Wang Yedao: "The chairman said that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers, so in my opinion, use a small number of troops to contain the main force of the Japanese army, and then concentrate the main force of the column to fight an annihilation war, trying to annihilate one or two divisions of the Japanese army. With luck, let us annihilate three to four divisions of the Japanese army in a row, and then this raid will collapse."

"What, annihilate three to four divisions?" Kong Jie immediately laughed, "How dare you think about it."

"People have to have some dreams." Wang Ye smiled, "If you don't even dare to think about it, where does the motivation come from?"

"Xiao Wang is right, one should have a dream." The brigade commander is now very pleasing to Wang Ye, and immediately expresses his support, "As a field force, one should have an ambitious combat goal! I Look, take the annihilation of three to four divisions of the Japanese army as the highest combat goal!"

Now not only Kong Jie, but even Ding Wei felt that the brigade commander was too used to Wang Ye.

Li Yunlong feels even more uncomfortable, Brigadier, your most precious thing used to be our old Li, but now you have changed, and now your most precious thing has become a bastard like Xiao Wang.

But Wang Ye really lived up to the trust of the brigade commander.

"Old Ma, Old Chen." Wang Ye turned his head and shouted, "Bring us the map we drew."

A promise from Ma Yuan and Chen Mingli sounded outside the conference room, and the two of them walked in with a roll of maps, and spread them out on the long conference table.

This is a whole map of Northwest Shanxi.

I saw a lot of markings on the map.

"Brigade Commander, and all the leaders." Ma Yuan pointed to the map and said, "This is the topographic map of Northwest Shanxi that our combat department spent seven days and nights drawing. Every small soil bump, every gully, and every side on the map The cliffs have been surveyed by the members of the Wolf Warriors Brigade, and they are correct! The original mistakes have also been corrected."

The brigade commander said: "Xiao Ma, ask the logistics department to print and distribute it as soon as possible."

Xing Zhiguo smiled and said, "Brigade Commander, the printing factory is already printing."

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others had already gathered around the map.

"Be good." Kong Jie said, "With this thing, fighting is much easier."

"That's right." Li Yunlong said approvingly, "An accurate map can save the commander a lot of trouble, and save the troops a lot of wrongdoing."

Ding Weidao: "The most important thing is that with this map, we don't need to send scouts to scout the terrain before the battle. We can choose where to ambush the enemy as long as we look at the map. Even artillery fire and heavy machine gun fire should be put aside. Wherever you are, you can make decisions directly from the map."

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "It's just like real mountains and rivers."

The brigade commander asked Wang Ye, "Xiao Wang, can you really guarantee the accuracy of the map?"

Wang Ye said seriously: "Brigade Commander, Lao Ma and Lao Chen didn't do anything during this period of time. They only did one thing, which was to travel all over the mountains and rivers in Northwest Shanxi with the Wolf Warriors, so the accuracy of the map no problem."

Ma Yuan and Chen Mingli also said solemnly: "Commander, we dare to guarantee with party spirit."

"Okay, as long as the map is accurate." The brigade commander said, "Then I have a bottom line in my heart."

"Hey, that's not right." At this point, Li Yunlong finally came to his senses, and said, "That's not right, aren't the devils blocked by our fortress? They can't enter the base area at all, so if we want to annihilate the devils, shouldn't we take the initiative to attack? Go to the guerrilla zone or even the Japanese-occupied area to fight against the little devils? How could you fight in the base area?"

Wang Ye said: "Regimental Commander, our fortress is only stuck on the road, but not on the mountain road at all. The devil's heavy troops must rely on the road to maneuver, but their mountain troops can maneuver through the mountain road, just like when they drilled The Yamazaki brigade that entered the hinterland of our Taihang base sneaked in through the mountain road."

The brigade commander said: "So, it is possible that the Japanese army will divide their troops and enter our base area from the mountain road?"

Wang Ye said: "Brigade Commander, it's not a possibility, but a certainty. The Japanese army will definitely enter our base area from the mountain road, and the scale will not be small."

"This time the Japanese army invested eight divisions in the mopping up,"

"I estimate that four divisions will storm our fort along the road,"

"The remaining four divisions are most likely to be changed to mountain divisions. In fact, there is no need to change them, because the combat divisions organized by the Japanese army in the later period are rarely equipped with field artillery. Most of them are equipped with mountain artillery, infantry artillery and Mortars, and these artillery can follow the infantry to maneuver through mountain roads."

After a pause, he continued: "The first thing we want to fight is these mountain combat divisions, and these mountain combat divisions have no heavy artillery, let alone tanks, and they don't even get aviation protection at night, so we It is fully capable of eating them! Of course, the premise is that facing one division, two divisions will not be able to eat them."

Xing Zhiguo was still not confident enough, frowned and said, "Xiao Wang, are you sure that with the strength and ammunition reserves of our Shanxi Northwest Column, we can eat up a division of the Japanese army?"

"I'm sure." Wang Ye said firmly, "Because with the four fortifications built in Shazhukou, Xijikou, Yezhugou and Yelangyu, there is no need for the main force, and the local armed forces in the three military divisions can hold out at least Half a month, then during this time, our main force can gather to fight a big battle!"

"Not long ago, the main force of our northwestern column in Shanxi carried out a downsizing,"

"But there are still ten regiments of infantry, one regiment of artillery, and one regiment of cavalry."

After a pause, Wang Ye continued: "Our Shanxi Northwest Column now has a total of more than 5000 combat troops. Compared with the Japanese army's [-] mountain divisions, the strength advantage is not very obvious, but we are more familiar with the terrain. , when necessary, the Wolf Warriors can be used to decapitate the Japanese army and destroy their command system, and if the terrain is suitable, they can even use tank companies to penetrate from the front, so the chances are very high."

Chapter 540 The Last Son Sent to the Battlefield

Liao County, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The deputy chief of staff walked into the war room with a telegram.

"Boss." The deputy chief of staff said, "The Shanxi Northwest Column just called."

The boss continued to do homework on the picture, and asked without raising his head, "What did they say?"

"The general guiding ideology is no different from ours." The deputy chief of staff smiled and said again, "But their ambitions are much greater than our headquarters."

"Really?" The boss immediately became interested.

Putting down the square and pencil, the boss asked, "What is the goal they set?"

"Stick to the base area in Northwest Shanxi for at least two months, and cover the safe transfer of more than 100 million folks in the base area to Hetao and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region." After a pause, the deputy chief of staff continued, "But in this process, we will never be passive. Instead of defending, we must take the initiative to attack and strive to annihilate three to four divisions in mobile warfare to crush this sweep."

"Hey, trying to annihilate three to four divisions?" The boss laughed, "They really dare to think about it."

The deputy chief of staff smiled and said: "Didn't Sun Tzu say that in the art of war, the best in the law is the best in it, and the best in the best in the law. I think it's okay for them to set their goals high. Three to four divisions It can't be wiped out, but it is still possible to wipe out one or two divisions, which is much better than the one or two divisions we imagined before."

"Well, I agree with their battle plan in principle." The boss nodded, "But there is one thing, we must protect ourselves as much as possible while attacking the enemy. Reckless fighting is not acceptable."

"Boss, we don't need to remind you about this." The deputy chief of staff laughed, "Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Wang Ye are fighting ghosts. I have only seen them take advantage of it. When did I see them suffer?"

The boss said: "I'd like to emphasize that the scale of the devil's mopping up this time is different from the past after all."

"Okay." The deputy chief of staff nodded happily, "I'll send them a telegram right away."

Watching the deputy chief of staff turn and leave, the boss turned his eyes back to the map in front of him, and said, "The formation formed by the 36th Division is quite tricky, making it difficult for us to get up and down. It seems It is very difficult to implement the plan to support the Shanxi Northwest Column from the flank by attacking Zhengtai Road."

The teacher sighed and said, "There is no other way."

"Yes." The boss said, "Our family is not as well-off as the Shanxi Northwest Column. Not only is it short of firepower, but also a serious shortage of ammunition, so there is no way to fight a battle of annihilation like the Shanxi Northwest Column."

The teacher said: "So we can only beat the side drums and rely on them themselves."

The boss said: "But I believe that the Shanxi Northwest Column can do it."

The teacher said: "I also believe this."

……

Party and government organizations at the county, district, township, and village levels in the Northwest Shanxi base area have taken action and are going door-to-door to mobilize folks to evacuate.

This is undoubtedly a very large and arduous project.

For 5000 years, the Communist Party has possessed such organizational capabilities that can cover villages.

In contrast, the Kuomintang is very lazy in this regard, and its administration only covers the county level, and below the county level it relies on the rule of the gentry and clan.

So just one day after the order was issued, the entire base area was fully operational.

Gu Xiaobei, who had already returned to Qingyun District to serve as the head of the district, also devoted himself to the mobilization work. It took a whole day to visit more than a dozen villages in a row. Gu Xiaobei really talked about it.

But in general, the folks are very cooperative.

As soon as they heard that it was needed by the organization, most of the villagers expressed their full cooperation without saying a word.

Even if the summer grain is about to be harvested, even if the autumn grain has just been sown and it is the critical moment of top dressing, the villagers expressed their support without hesitation.

The reason is also very simple.

Before the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army came to Northwest Shanxi, they never had enough to eat. When the times were good, they would go out to beg or go to Xikou to beg for life. When the times were bad, they would starve to death in large numbers. Those days were really more bitter than Huang Lian's, and she could really ooze bitter water.

However, since the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army came, they have had enough to eat in just one year.

In the second year, even every family can eat white flour buns, and at the end of the year, they can pull a few feet of cloth to make new clothes for the family.

Therefore, the fathers and villagers are grateful and willing to fully support the Communist Party.

Not only the common people who farmed the land, but even the businessmen gave their full support.

Because since the Eighth Route Army captured Anhua and took control of Northwest Shanxi, the business environment in Northwest Shanxi is really good. The only thing businessmen need to consider is to arrange production and sales. You don't need to worry about bad things like robbers.

In short, there are no bad things other than normal business activities.

So the Communist Party just gave a call, and the factory owners and businessmen took out their donkey carts, horse-drawn carts, and even large trucks for free to the local government.

The only people who were secretly hoping for the fate of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army were a small group of landlords and gentry.

Since the arrival of the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party, this small group of people has suffered a great loss. Not only was the usury previously released, they were not allowed to collect excess principal and interest, but even the land, cattle, and agricultural tools were divided up by mud legs.

So these people hoped that the devils would come back and return them the land, cattle and agricultural tools, as well as the excess principal and interest owed to them by Mudleg, and they must continue to pay back.

Therefore, when people from the anti-Japanese democratic government came to mobilize, this small group of people refused to leave.

Gu Xiaobei met such a person in Zhang Village next door, and he was really lip-smacking, and he just refused to leave.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Xiaobei didn't say any more, he still had to go home to help his old lady pack her luggage, and as party cadres, their family naturally had to take the lead in evacuating.

When Gu Xiaobei returned to the front of his courtyard, it was already dark.

But the oil lamp in the main room was still on, and Gu Xiaobei knew it was left by his mother for him.

Pushing open the door and going in, she saw Aunt Gu sitting cross-legged on the kang and putting on the soles of her shoes, seeing Gu Xiaobei coming in, Aunt Gu put down the soles of her shoes and sat up in surprise.

Mrs. Gu said: "Si'er, you are back."

"Mother." Gu Xiaobei responded and asked, "Has the notice from the village come down?"
