Shibuya Ichiro said: "What the division commander said is that the 2nd Guard Division can be said to be the only main division in the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi and the brigades that can be fought. The relationship is too important."

Miyano Nodou nodded slightly and said, "It seems that Shibuya Jun has a very clear understanding of the situation in Shanxi."

Speaking of this, he said: "Although the war loss statistics have not been completed and the supplementary work has not yet begun. It will be at least half a year before our division will go to safely launch a new round of sweeping against the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. However, as the division commander and chief of staff, we might as well discuss future work first."

Shibuya Ichiro said: "I have never been to northwest Shanxi, but I once heard from Kohara Jun that the land in northwest Shanxi is very barren and the agricultural output is very low. The local Chinese people will be unable to support their children and can only go to Suiyuan to make a living. This is what is called going to the west entrance."

"Oh, is that?" Miyano Dao said thoughtfully.

Shibuya Ichiro said: "So, if you want to wipe out the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, you must take a two-pronged approach. In addition to military attacks, you also need to strictly block the entire northwest Shanxi from the economic level."

"A grain of food from the outside cannot be allowed to flow into northwest Shanxi."

"We must not let the outside world's one-foot cloth enter northwest Shanxi."

"There are also materials such as salt, sugar, oil, etc. that also need to be completely blocked."

Speaking of this meal, he said: "We want to put the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in a desperate situation where there is no clothes to wear, no food to eat, and no medicine available! We must make them not even have to eat salt."

"Yo Xi." Miyano Nodded happily and said, "Shibuya, a perfect combat plan for the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has been formed, isn't it?"

Shibuya Ichiro bowed his head heavily.

"Hayi!"

...

Ding Wei raised the topic to another level and said, "Old Li, Lao Kong, have you noticed it? The head of the headquarters ordered our three regiments to move into northwest Shanxi, which actually had a deeper meaning."

When Li Yunlong and Kong Jie heard this, they immediately became serious.

Wang Ye took Yang Hu to remove all the wine and food on the kang table.

Anyway, the three team leaders and Zhao Gang had almost eaten and drunk.

Then I found a map of northwest Shanxi and spread it on the kang table.

Wang Ye pointed to the map and said, "The three regiment leaders and political commissars are maps from the Beiyang government period. There are many fallacies, so I can only use it as a reference. I will find a way to get a map of the Japanese in the future."

Because I had just arrived in northwest Shanxi not long ago, I had not had time to seize the map.

Ding Wei said: "Xiao Wang, one day I seized the Japanese map and give me a copy."

"Leave me one too," said Kong Jie. "I'm really not used to it without a map of the Japanese."

Ding Wei pointed to the map and said to Li Yunlong and Kong Jie: "Old Li and Lao Kong, look, the defense zones of our three regiments are located in the northwest, southwest and east of Anhua."

"The overall shape is in the shape of a font, no matter which regiment's defense zone the Japanese attacked,"

"Everyone must borrow from the defense zones of the other two regiments to form a surround situation."

Kong Jie nodded and said, "According to past experience, every time the Japanese launched a sweep of our base, they would first send heavy troops to encircle them from all sides, and then send mobile troops to carry out a dragnet-style sweep."

"But now the defense zones of our three regiments are very wide apart from each other."

"But we can form a horn between each other and protect the brothers' back."

"It is really impossible for the Japanese to imagine storing our defense zone like before."

"This forces the Japanese to attack from the front." Li Yunlong said, "But if the Japanese can't form an encirclement and can only attack from the front, the Japanese will have much smaller threats to attack from the front."

Ding Wei said: "So, as long as our three regiments can take root in their respective defense areas and form a horn force with each other, the Anhua Japanese will lose sight of one thing and have no choice but to do anything to us."

Kong Jie said: "The problem is that it is not easy to take root in northwest Shanxi."

"Otherwise," said Ding Wei. "Although the mountainous areas in northwestern Shanxi are very barren, they have a large population and are under severe oppression. It is relatively easy to mobilize the masses, which means that it is easier for our team to expand."

Kong Jie said: "It is not difficult to expand the team, but how to solve the problem of supplies? I don't know how you Fuliang Mountain and Jiugong Mountain areas are, but our fellow villagers in Wohu Mountain areas are hard to support themselves and cannot provide extra food to support the army. Really, it is hard to support even a few hundred people."

Ding Wei said: "Jiugong Mountain Area is similar."

"The same is true in Fuliang Mountain District." Li Yunlong said.

Kong Jie said: "Then the problem comes, how to solve the supply maintenance?"

This problem stumped Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei and Zhao Gang were also helpless.

But Wang Ye's mind was like lightning flashing: Large production! Yes, only by relying on the large production movement can we change the poverty in northwest Shanxi and improve the situation of the troops!

From a time perspective, the large-scale production movement in Yan'an is about to begin.

Because the National Government had stopped issuing funds for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, the Japanese army also launched a crazy economic blockade on various anti-Japanese bases. Starting this year (1941), the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and various anti-Japanese bases will be in an extremely difficult situation of no food, no clothes, no quilt covers, and no funds available.

Therefore, it is impossible to rely on the headquarters or other base areas to provide assistance.

The three major groups that have moved into northwest Shanxi can only solve their difficulties by relying on their own.

Wang Ye said at the moment: "Dear leaders, maybe there is only one way left."

"Oh?" Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang all looked over.

Facing the eyes of the four people, Wang Ye said: "Carry out a large-scale production campaign, be self-reliant, and have enough food and clothing!"

"What? Carry out a large-scale production movement?" Li Yunlong said dumbfoundedly, "Aren't you nonsense? Our three regiments are all main groups and regular soldiers. Do you want us to go farming with our fellow villagers?"

Ding Wei also frowned and said, "Everyone is going to do production and farming, who will fight in the war?"

Kong Jie said: "Yes, the Japanese puppet troops in northwestern Shanxi will not run away by themselves."

Zhao Gang said, "I think Xiao Wang's method is very good. He will carry out production during the busy farming season and fight in the slack farming season. It will not delay production or fight against the Japanese. It will kill two birds with one stone!"

Here, we can see the difference between military cadres and political cadres.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and even Ding Wei are more accustomed to looking at problems from a military perspective.

However, as a political cadre, Zhao Gang has a deeper understanding and can look at the problem from a global perspective.

"No, it's still not possible." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "We just want to do a large-scale production, but we don't have that much to plant for us?"

Wang Ye said: "If you don't have land planting, then reclaim wasteland."

Zhao Gang also said: "That's right, there are wasteland everywhere in northwest Shanxi, are you afraid that there will be no land to plant it?"

"It's easy to say, you two are nerds. I'm afraid you have never planted land before?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "I have been farming with my elders since I was six years old. If I hadn't participated in the Jute Riot at the age of seventeen, I would definitely be a good move. Let me tell you, not all wastelands can be cultivated."

Kong Jie also said: "There must be water, but without water to irrigate, crops cannot grow."

Li Yunlong said again: "What is most scarce in northwestern Shanxi is water. How to grow crops?"

Zhao Gang's face immediately collapsed, and he had never thought about this problem.

However, Wang Ye had already been ready and said with a smile: "Captain, have you never heard a word?"

"A word?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "What are you saying? Tell me quickly, don't just say half of his fucking words."
