Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 71 Development Plan (2)

"We can develop these villages around Heyuan County into our bases, and then immediately develop based on the resources near these villages after the Japanese raids." Ren Zhong took out a map of the Jin area that he hand-painted after investigating the resource points on the main plane.

This is a standard-sized map, about 1.05 meters by 0.75 meters in size, which mainly depicts all the resources of Jin. For this era, this hand-drawn map by Ren Zhong is worth more than a fortune. Now Ren Zhong simply took it out and placed it in front of everyone.

But these people don’t know how valuable this map is. If the brigade commander were here, Ren Zhong would probably not be able to take it back after taking it out.

"You see, these villages are far away from Heyuan County. They are all next to a river. Our hydroelectric generators can be installed on this river to generate electricity." Ren Zhong did not explain much. He just pointed to the target mountain village above and said to everyone.

"After we develop quietly here, we can now transfer part of the production to the deep mountains here. In order to keep it secret, the arsenal will not be built in an inhabited mountain village this time." The place designated by Ren Zhong was a large wildlife sanctuary and forest park in later generations. Even today, there are not many people living there, and a large number of caves have also been found in it, making it perfect for the industry developed by Ren Zhong.

"There are seven coal mines, five iron mines, and a small copper mine nearby." Ren Zhong pointed to the resource icons and continued to introduce, "But we can't mine all of them. Instead, we will focus on mining these two mines first, and consider the rest after we have completely controlled this area."

"In these places in Heyuan, my opinion is to develop at least an independent guerrilla brigade of battalion-level scale, with combat power sufficient to intimidate local guards such as the gendarmerie brigade. However, we must not expose our strength unless it is absolutely necessary, so as to avoid an enemy raid in advance."

"According to this requirement, we cannot deploy radio stations here, in case the enemy discovers the radio waves and mistakenly thinks this is the location of one of our main forces. For normal communication, we should try to use cavalry to deliver messages here, and then quickly transmit the messages back to the headquarters and Yangcun through a radio relay center set up here." Ren Zhong pointed to Zhaojiay, which is the base for the independent regiment to break out and be reborn in the future. It happens to be an intermediate area connecting the current headquarters with Heyuan.

"Wait, Brother Ren, our independent regiment doesn't even have a radio station. Where can we find a radio station to set up a forwarding center in another place?" Li Yunlong asked.

"It will be available soon. My organization is getting radios and other things from abroad. Now the communication distance of our handheld radios is too short. A few kilometers or tens of kilometers can only be used for tactical command. In the future, our organization will get radios that can communicate for hundreds of kilometers." Ren Zhong said very confidently. For radios, they copied the foreign PARASET radio and 71B walkie-talkie, both long-range and short-range radios.

PARASET radio can realize nationwide communication. There is no doubt that it will be the core radio for cross-base communications and communications with main forces above the regiment level in the future.

The 71B radio is a tactical radio with a wide range of communication coverage depending on the antenna configuration. According to Ren Zhong's understanding, the operating frequency of the 71B radio is 2-7MHz, with the transmitting part divided into three frequency bands and the receiving part divided into two frequency bands.

There are 3 different types of antennas available:
The first type uses a 1-meter loaded coil (with inductance added in the middle) and a top radiating whip antenna, with a maximum communication distance of 15 kilometers for sending messages and 7 kilometers for talking.

The second type uses a 4-meter whip antenna with radiating leaves on the top, with a transmission distance of up to 55 kilometers and a conversation distance of 22 kilometers.

The third type uses a 44-meter dipole antenna, with a transmission distance of more than 150 kilometers and a communication distance of about 60 kilometers.

Of course, the third type of antenna is rarely used. Most of the time, the first and second types of antennas are used. If it is used on the front line of a position, the first type is mostly used. If it is used to indicate targets for artillery, the second type is more commonly used.

According to the current development and scope of activities of the independent regiment, the first and second antennas are sufficient. Listening to Ren Zhong's plan for the independent regiment, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others became more and more fascinated. Now Ren Zhong not only put forward the plan for the future decentralized development of the independent regiment, but also put forward the core support points for the development of the new headquarters and the development of the ordnance industry of the independent regiment in the future.

"Finally, the overall plan of our plan will be kept secret for the time being, even from the headquarters and everyone in the independent regiment except us." Ren Zhong emphasized after he finished explaining the entire plan.

"The headquarters has its own considerations. We don't need to interfere with the headquarters' decision-making. At the same time, the enemy's infiltration work is very strong now. There is no guarantee that there will be enemy spies in the headquarters and our independent regiment. We try to narrow the scope of those who know about it, so that the secret can be better preserved."

There is another point that Ren Zhong did not mention, which is that this plan still needs to be guarded against by the brigade commander to some extent. After all, the brigade commander's perspective is different from that of the independent regiment. If this plan is exposed, then the brigade commander will consider the entire second-level military region he is responsible for, and there will definitely not be so many resources allocated to the independent regiment.

Ren Zhong’s plan now is to find areas for the independent regiment’s future dispersed development around the weak mountainous areas of Ping’an and Heyuan counties.

It was just that it was advanced by nearly a year. According to the normal development timeline, it would have been after the great mopping-up campaign in 1942 that the independent regiment was forced to break out and develop in a dispersed manner.

That scattered breakout was also extremely brutal, and the cavalry company charge took place during that period.

Now, Ren Zhong planned in advance to take over the cavalry battalion, and then disperse the development of this cavalry battalion, using most of the cavalry's horses to transport goods, and disperse them to several villages for future development, so that the brigade commander's misappropriation of goods would not happen.

"The plan we reported is simply to explain that we will develop a few reliable fortress villages in Heyuan to support our guerrilla warfare. We don't even need to apply for a number. Let's develop them secretly for a while first." Everyone present agreed with Ren Zhong's idea of ​​making money quietly.

"Let's do it, Brother Ren. How about you just join us as chief of staff? We don't even have a chief of staff in our independent regiment, so you'd be perfect for the job." Li Yunlong slapped his thigh, and the matter was decided.

By the way, he also wanted to recruit Ren Zhong into the independent regiment.

"No, I'm an overseas Chinese, and I can't explain many things clearly. What's more, I can't fight, and I don't have the experience of studying in a military academy. I just have some information advantages. I can give everyone some advice and ideas, but I really can't fight a war."

Ren Zhong refused as usual.

Going to the battlefield during this period would be a life-threatening situation, and I am not really prepared for sacrifice.
