Xinxiang, Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
The combat conference room of the new military region is located in the southwest corner of the entire building complex.
This was originally a confidential place used by the Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army to secretly summon puppet army leaders and local agents. Now it is transformed and used by the staff working group of infantry experts.
After entering the room, Li Yunlong and others found that there were not many people in the room. Looking up, there were only a few regiment-level commanders such as Cheng Shifa and Ding Wei.
Looking at the slightly empty room, Lao Li suddenly asked with doubts on his face:
"Hey, where are Lao Ding, Blind Cheng, and Mr. Xu? Why can't I see any other comrades? Why are you the only ones at the meeting?"
Hearing the mutterings of their old comrades, Cheng and Ding stood up from their seats without saying anything. They pulled the three and seven-and-half members of the 1st Land Warfare Brigade to their seats, and then they explained:
"Except for your airborne troops, the rest of the brigade-level commanders have been personally called away by President Xu. Everyone should be in the staff department now, each accepting a new phase of mission."
"It is estimated that after the general strategic goals are set, it will be the turn of the regiment-level combat units."
"Just wait a little longer, this matter can't be rushed."
Hearing this, the commanders of the 1st Marine Brigade all nodded in agreement, affirming the speculation of their old comrades.
In this operation, the Eighth Route Army took over most of Henan Province in one go, which was more than 80,000 square kilometers of land including more than 50 counties.
Even if infantry experts lead their own staff groups to take action in person, it will still take a lot of time and energy to gradually restore the administrative and public security management systems of each county.
In addition, disaster relief related matters must also be considered.
There is no way, sometimes the vast territory is also a kind of trouble.
Thanks to the Eighth Route Army having accumulated a lot of work experience in Jin Province and Suiyuan, otherwise it would have been a headache to take over land equivalent to the sum of the three European lowland countries Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg at once.
While waiting, Li Yunlong took out a military map of South China from his briefcase with the mentality of being idle.
While he was skillfully doing the work on the map, he praised his old comrades:
"Old Ding, Cheng Xiazi, the two of you have caused quite a stir in northern Henan this time, attracting the attention of almost all the major forces in the Republic of China. Theoretically, even a bald man has to hold his nose and give out awards to the troops. make."
"After you gain fame and prestige, if nothing else happens, your next focus should be on a series of arrangements for the advisory group."
"Two years have passed since the Hundred Regiments War, and we three brothers have to fight side by side again."
At this point, Li Yunlong has completed the drawing work. After his operation, a simple combat plan for airborne landing on the island appeared in front of everyone.
Ding and Cheng were both veteran comrades who had been in the army for several years. Looking at the Qiongya map with an outline that looked like a pineapple, they still didn't understand their superiors' strategic thinking.
Both of them are eager to fight, and they can't wait to take the transport plane and head to South China to save the people from the fire and water.
"According to the current plan of the headquarters, our future operations can not only regain lost ground, but also establish a military springboard with massive material reserves."
"Once there is a stable rear area, the advisory group will be in an invincible position where it can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. There will even be infinite room for subsequent maneuvers!"
"Okay, okay, that's great. Why didn't I think of this strategy before?"
Looking at the old comrades, I could hardly contain the joy and excitement in my heart. The exhausted Li Yunlong took action decisively, adding fire to the two of them again.
"Hey, look at your potential. Don't just think about the allies and Japanese in Southeast Asia. Why don't you take a longer-term view?"
"As long as our Eighth Route Army can successfully capture the entire Qiongya, a certain bald man and the incompetent person he talks about will probably be on fire and have trouble sleeping and eating."
"After all, from a long-term strategic and tactical perspective, it is one of their few escape routes."
As soon as these words came out, Ding Wei and Cheng Xiazi immediately understood. They rubbed their hands together excitedly, with evil smiles on their faces to cut off their retreat and force the enemy into submission.
Judging from the current battlefield situation, it is only a matter of time before the troops drive away the Japanese or even implement a full-scale counterattack.
On the basis of the above, it is not too much to plan ahead for the future. Anyway, with those who have different views and different views, sooner or later there will be a final battle.
Just when everyone was gearing up to start a big fight in South China.
The infantry expert suddenly opened the door and walked into the combat conference room with a dozen comrades.
At this time, Li Yunlong discovered very keenly that his teacher's mental state did not seem to be very good, and he even looked a bit depressed.
"Time is limited. Now that everyone is here, let's go straight to the meeting. Everyone, please take a seat."
The infantry expert skipped the greeting stage. After briefly looking around and counting the number of people present, he conveniently pulled up his chair and sat down first, and started speaking straight to the point:
"The focus of this meeting is very simple and clear, that is, how to successfully complete the reconstruction of the administrative and public security system of Henan Province under the interference of the 1st and 5th Guopu War Zones and the 12th Japanese Army."
"Commander Liu, come and send everyone the plan you just prepared so that all the regiment leaders and cadres will have a clear idea."
After finishing speaking, a young staff officer immediately came out. He quickly placed the documents in front of everyone, and indicated that everyone could open and check them at any time.
In fact, in a sense, the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master are definitely the most experienced large-scale forces in dealing with disasters in the entire Republic of China.
After all, before the reorganization or 1939, the base areas of each region were located in remote areas with relatively harsh climate conditions and relatively less developed economies.
There is no way, only in these impoverished places, the enemy's military strength will be weaker, and the troops can take the opportunity to establish bases.
Of course, there are exceptions to the above situations.
Like fruitless people, not only were they unable to manage the controlled areas, they made the famine more serious each time. They didn't even sum up their experiences and lessons, which resulted in the people being tortured to death by natural disasters.
Watching the regiment-level cadres read the document just issued, the infantry expert cleared his throat and said:
"In the coming days, you will lead your respective troops to be stationed in designated county areas. After you are completely settled, you must pay attention to publicity work." "Without the support of the people, all plans are in vain."
"You don't have to worry about the high-level game. The Eighth Office of each region and Xinhua Daily will definitely occupy the position of public opinion."
In the days before the army was reorganized, Guo Preserved often made damaging moves in order to reduce TG's influence.
These people often spread rumors in the base area, trying to use the limitations of information to incite people to attack people.
Whenever there is a natural disaster, they organize food grabbing teams and food cadre teams to grab food according to the strategy of going to one village to eat one village.
Although there has not yet been a formal battle with the First Guo Preserved War Zone, infantry experts have already expected that the other party will use slogans similar to the Eighth Route Army's food reserves to drive the affected people to come to the liberated areas to persecute.
After hearing his teacher's instructions, Li Yunlong stood up from his seat without saying a word and added in a worried tone:
"Natural disasters are the easiest way to destroy people's confidence."
“Everyone must go down to the grassroots level to express condolences and inspections, listen to the opinions of the victims, and respond to their needs. When conditions are right, we can even explain various disaster relief plans to the masses to help people overcome their pessimism and despair. "
"At the same time, we must let the soldiers explain the root cause of the drought to the victims, so that everyone knows who their real enemy is!"
"If we don't occupy the position of public opinion, the enemy will occupy it. We must not lose it!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately burst into thunderous applause. All commanders gave a standing ovation and expressed their approval of their comrades with their actual actions.
Infantry specialists are no exception.
Looking at the confident Li Yunlong, the fatigue on his face was involuntarily replaced by pride.
This is the student he taught. Not only is he among the top three in the world in the military field he specializes in, he is also quite understanding in the administrative aspect.
Given time, he might still be a polygonal warrior.
After a while of emotion, the infantry expert knocked on the table first. When everyone's eyes were on him, he continued:
"What Li Yunlong said makes sense, but in addition to public opinion positions, troops at all levels also need to personally participate in subsequent disaster relief operations."
"The Eighth Route Army's manpower and material resources are very limited. If we just rely on ourselves to do it, it will be a drop in the bucket. Therefore, you must mobilize the victims to help themselves, and organizing production is also a top priority."
"In short, we must not let the common people become lazy people passively waiting for rescue. They must change the status quo through their own labor!"
After finishing speaking, the infantry expert turned his attention to Qilu, who was listening carefully.
In his plan, in order to formulate practical disaster relief policies, after the troops are stationed, they need to give priority to the disaster situation in their respective counties and districts, and group them according to the production skills mastered by the people.
If conditions permit, a series of water conservancy development projects such as canal construction, embankment construction, and dam repair must be completed.
At that time, it will be the stage for Qilu and a half to show their talents.
Adhering to the idea of employing people with no suspicion and using them without suspicion, the infantry experts directly assigned tasks by name.
"Yisheng, I will leave the matters related to the water conservancy in Henan Province to you. In order to avoid any stress reaction on the preserved fruit side, the headquarters can only give you a deputy position for the time being. I hope you understand."
"But don't worry, the organization will never treat the heroes badly."
"After taking office, as long as the purpose is reasonable, you can mobilize troops at all levels to cooperate with your water conservancy department to complete the work."
Hearing this, Qi Lu and a Half's eyes suddenly burst out with excitement. I recommended myself to come to Henan Province just for this moment.
As for the deputy position, he didn't care at all. After all, the current situation is special, and a tall person with sufficient weight is needed to support him in front.
Otherwise, with the bald head's personality, if it were known that he had switched sides publicly, wouldn't the whole world be leaked?
After making up his mind, Qiluban stood up, and then replied in an upright and impassioned manner: "Thank you for your trust in the organization, I promise to complete the task!"
In the following period, the infantry expert and his staff almost guided the regiment commanders step by step.
After so much effort, it's really not that the New Military Region doesn't trust these old comrades who have walked through the grass and climbed over the snow-capped mountains. Mainly because the disaster situation in the province is so severe that there is no room for error.
Of course, the commanders also have a very correct learning attitude. After all, it is rare to have personal guidance from a superior, and no one wants to give up the opportunity to make progress.
Two and a half hours later, the infantry specialist sat back in his chair. He first took a sip of water to moisten his throat, then circled several counties on the map and emphasized:
"These areas are the most severely affected. Even if the border areas and headquarters try their best to rescue, it will be difficult to save all the people."
"So, we need to implement a resettlement plan and transport interested people to Suiyuan through the road and railway network to provide work-in-service relief."
"After Henan Province successfully overcomes the disaster, we will pick up the people from outside the Great Wall."
Using infrastructure to stimulate economic growth or lead people through certain disasters is actually a policy used by most countries around the world.
Take A Chou as an example. The reason why they became the first generation of infrastructure madmen is because Master Luo launched a series of public projects during the economic crisis.
At present, the Eighth Route Army has the Daoqing Railway, the entire Tongpu Railway and half of the Pingsui Railway, plus many roads in Zhongtiao Mountain, and is fully capable of sending some victims to Suiyuan.
It just takes longer, which is better than starving to death in your hometown.
The area outside the Great Wall is in a period of rapid development. Almost all major light and heavy industrial factories are recruiting workers, and tens of thousands of jobs can be provided in the future.
It is definitely more than enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission!" (End of this chapter)
