Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling
Chapter 30 Let’s Settle Here
Chapter 30 Let’s Settle Here
"We know what it means, but what does this have to do with us?" Xu Wu asked puzzledly.
Facing the doubts of the people present, Chen Chengxing said unhappily: "Do you think that fighting the Japanese devils depends solely on frontal combat?"
It is undeniable that it is very important to block the Japanese head-on, which can create more favorable conditions for counterattack.
However, even if the Kuomintang collapsed across the board, the Eighth Route Army could still defeat the Japanese by relying solely on guerrilla warfare and public security warfare, but it would take a long time.
Even a country like Lao A could exhaust the Soviet Union and drive away Afghanistan, not to mention the Eighth Route Army. After all, destruction is much easier than construction.
"The benefits of fighting behind enemy lines are beyond your imagination. You will understand them later. Now you just need to follow orders." Chen Chengxing was helpless in the face of everyone's stupid brains.
Of course, Chen Chengxing knew very well that the reason he could figure it out was not because he was so great, but because he looked at the current problems from the perspective of the future, so everything was solved.
But Xu Wu and his people cannot see the future and do not know how powerful it is.
Now, compared with the Japs, the Eighth Route Army is like children and adults.
When faced with bullying from adults, children can only find an opportunity to hide behind the door, and when the adults come over, they jump out and give them a blow on the head when they are not prepared!
This is the only way to weaken the adults while giving children time to grow.
After hearing Chen Chengxing's words, although everyone was still confused, they all calmed down and carefully considered the future of the New Second Regiment.
"Right now, the most important things for us are the following: first, recruiting soldiers, at least to fill the staffing gap; second, developing the base."
"What do you think?" Chen Chengxing asked.
"If we want to develop the base, we have to mobilize the masses. It is impossible to rely solely on the New Second Regiment," said Luo Ping.
"I thought of this. I brought back 50 people from the brigade headquarters, 40 of whom were veterans and were assigned to the 2nd and 3rd battalions. I also selected some personnel to set up the 8th and 12th companies. The remaining 10 people were political cadres."
"I want these 10 political cadres, together with all the staff of the New Second Regiment's Political Department, to mobilize the masses everywhere, organize anti-Japanese armed forces, and carry out hostile struggles."
"We must also carry out united front work, publicize our party's propositions and policies, vigorously mobilize young and middle-aged people to join the army, and vigorously develop militia armed forces to make the Japanese devils fall into the vast ocean of people's war."
"Lao Luo, you have to take the lead in this matter." Chen Chengxing said.
Now is the period of national unified anti-Japanese war, so all landlords and bandits within the jurisdiction of the New Second Regiment, as long as they meet the requirements, should be united with them to fight against Japan as much as possible.
"It is my duty." Luo Ping nodded.
The political work must be done by myself, the deputy regiment commander and political commissar. It is already a headache for the regiment commander to be responsible for fighting alone. If he has to do these political matters as well, he will be exhausted.
"Let's talk about you again." Chen Chengxing looked at Xu Wu and the others again.
"As the Guo army retreats, there will inevitably be a large number of remnant soldiers scattered around. We must vigorously recruit these people to prevent them from becoming bandits who rob and loot. Of course, if there are any who abuse the people, they must also be resolutely eliminated."
"Are you clear about everything?" Chen Chengxing asked.
"Clear!"
"Okay, then you guys go and do it." Chen Chengxing said.
"Yes!"
After the new Second Regiment set up its headquarters in Hongniwan, the development of each unit was encouraging. Especially with the in-depth propaganda of the political cadres and the strict discipline of each unit, the people in Dayunshan and the surrounding areas had a deeper understanding of the Eighth Route Army.
The villagers also clearly realized the differences between the Eighth Route Army and other warlords.
At the same time, Chen Chengxing led Zhang Xu, Xu Tao, Wen Ying and others into the mountains westward from Hongni Bay.
They need to find a place suitable for the development of the future arsenal. This place must have sufficient space for development and be able to prevent surprise attacks by the Japanese.
The establishment of the repair shop was simple. The workers that Luo Ping brought back from Taiyuan had already started their work. In just a few days, they had used the broken guns to repair more than a dozen intact rifles.
The reason why Chen Chengxing went into the mountains to find a place at this time was because the progress of the repair shop was too fast. In just a few days, they even made some hand-cranked equipment by themselves.
This led Chen Chengxing to put the issue of site selection for the arsenal on the agenda. After all, once some equipment was left behind, it could never be moved.
A few days later, Chen Chengxing stood on a hilltop and looked around.
"Three directors, how is this place?" asked Chen Chengxing.
In order to prevent Zhang Xu, Xu Tao and Wen Ying from being unwilling to accept their low rank, Chen Chengxing directly gave all three of them the title of director.
Xu Tao served as the director of the machinery factory, mainly responsible for the casting of grenade and mine shells, as well as the processing of some firearms parts; Zhang Xu served as the director of the chemical plant, mainly responsible for the production of explosives, as well as the final assembly of explosives for grenades and mines; Wen Ying served as the director of the repair institute, responsible for repairing and manufacturing guns, as well as reloading bullets.
"Not bad, very good." Xu Tao said with a smile.
This mountain is called Erlang Mountain, and there is a cave called Erlang Cave halfway up the mountain.
They had been inside the cave before and found that the space was quite spacious and the air flowed smoothly. The most important thing was that there was a mountain spring in Erlang Mountain, which could guarantee daily water consumption.
"This place is big enough for one factory, but if the commander wants to set up the arsenal here, it might be a bit too small," Wen Ying said.
"I've thought about this. Erlang Mountain is a rocky mountain. I will send the engineering company here and ask them to open up space and level the ground. After all, this place can't be used now. After a while, it should be able to accommodate everyone." Chen Chengxing said.
They have been sleeping in the open air for some time and have basically walked around Dayun Mountain. This place is the most suitable place.
Although there are roads leading up the mountain from the east and west, both roads are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and can be blocked by just one heavy machine gun.
Moreover, as long as there is enough time, we can build a semi-permanent firepower point in the right location, so that we will not be afraid even if the Japanese pull up the mountain artillery.
Although the Japanese's large-caliber field artillery can eliminate semi-permanent fire points, the mountain artillery is already at its limit given the broken road in Dayun Mountain.
It was difficult for the Japanese to transport in their Type 38 75mm field guns, let alone their 105/150mm heavy guns.
No matter whether they are shipped from Ping'an, Luyang or Taiyuan, it will take at least one or two months to get to the front of the mountain. By then, the New Second Regiment will be enough to annoy them to death with their harassment.
"Since the leader has a plan, let's decide here."
"Let's just settle here."
A paragraph was added to Chapter 12.
But it does not affect the plot, you can watch it or not
