Chapter 269 Separate Development
"Since we have anti-aircraft guns, Xianya Territory doesn't have to worry anymore."
"It's mainly the people living within Gaojia Town, so the tasks for each battalion are very heavy. We must use this time to dig the tunnel."
Zhao Ziqing said.
With them around, the Japanese couldn't enter Gaojia Town at all. The only thing they had to worry about was the Japanese planes.
Huang Zhengkui said directly: "Just leave it to us," and looked at the other battalion commanders.
"We'll divide the area later. There are 26 villages in Gaojia Town. You can ignore the ones further away. The main focus is on these 15 nearby villages."
Gu Changfeng agreed, "The ones nearby are fine. The villages further away are small and close to the mountains and forests. The Japanese won't be interested in them."
In fact, within Gaojia Town, there are quite a lot of villages like Xiaowang Village with a population of only dozens of households. If the Japanese really come to bomb, they will not be interested in such old and dilapidated houses. After all, aerial bombs also cost money.
Zhou Qianli said: "If you have no objection, please discuss the issue of the military number. The uniforms and military flags are almost ready."
Gu Changfeng didn't need to think about this question and said directly: "Let's call it the Laiyuan Independent Regiment. Anyway, the name is just a code name. When our strength allows, we can call it the First Army of China."
Zhao Ziqing smiled and said, "Let's talk about the First Army later. It's been too much of a hype. We should focus on development now."
Zhou Qianli looked at everyone again, and after waiting for a while, seeing that no one had any objections, he said, "Then it's the Laiyuan Independent Regiment. I'll make the arrangements later."
Gu Changfeng knocked on the table and continued, "Our personnel are too concentrated. After the tunnels in each village are dug, each battalion will still have to disperse and develop on its own. Leaving two battalions here will be enough."
This is a cliché. He has said it before, but he was delayed by various things. But it is not too late now.
"Changfeng, are you learning from the Eighth Route Army?" Zhao Ziqing asked.
In today's China, the strength of the Eighth Route Army cannot be underestimated, especially after the Pingxingguan victory. He has become more and more impressed with the Eighth Route Army and naturally pays more attention to it.
Things like building bases behind enemy lines, actively integrating into the people, etc., gave him a new understanding of the construction team.
In fact, he also realized that many of the things Gu Changfeng was doing now were not much different from those of the Eighth Route Army, and the effect was indeed very good.
"Old Zhao, what's wrong with learning from the Eighth Route Army? The system they established was the result of millions of lives. It's completely different from those arrogant people in the Kuomintang."
In fact, Gu Changfeng has been guiding his brothers intentionally or unintentionally in order to find a way out for them in the future.
Zhao Ziqing said, "There's nothing wrong with that. I agree. The facts have proven that we've become stronger after taking Gaojia Town. That's enough."
Seeing Zhao Ziqing's agreement, Gu Changfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that there would be a rift between the brothers, especially in the future...
"Actually, we don't need to be like the Eighth Route Army. We have sufficient firepower. After each battalion has developed independently, we can take the initiative to cause trouble for the Japanese. If we can handle it ourselves, we can do it ourselves. If we can't, we can ask for help."
"For example, Lao Luo and Lao Deng are close to each other. They can cooperate to fight the Japanese and capture a few towns. Besides sending money and other things to the base, the guns can be divided between the two battalions."
"Of course, I'm not saying that brothers should split up. This needs to be made clear."
Gu Changfeng's words made everyone laugh, and their minds became active.
Develop independently, lead the team and defeat the devils alone, this gives them all the power.
"I personally agree with Changfeng's words, but if anyone goes out and pretends to obey but actually disobeys, don't blame me, Old Huang, for taking action against you."
Huang Zhengkui has followed Gu Changfeng for the longest time, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a die-hard fan. His words made everyone suddenly sober up.
In fact, it is unrealistic to say that there is no such idea. If it is really divided up, it will be like a local tyrant, which is not much different from the feudal system in ancient times. By then, if someone has a gun in his hand, he may not obey the orders from above. It is also possible.
The battalion commanders fell into deep thought because of Huang Zhengkui's words.
Zhao Ziqing was watching coldly. It was impossible for the special forces to develop outside. The personnel limit was there. He was very clear about this. However, it was still very likely that they would go to carry out the mission.
Lu Daya was also watching. He was originally a company commander under Zhou Qianli, and now he was the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, so it was even more impossible for him to go out.
The ones who really need to worry are the battalion commanders from the third to the sixth battalion.
Gu Changfeng waited for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's not that serious. You are all brothers who have come from the battlefield together. Since I, Gu Changfeng, dare to let you go out to develop, I will not doubt your intentions."
"Lead the troops for me when you return. I hope that when I need you, each battalion will bring back at least 3,000 men."
"Captain Gu, although I have only been in the team for a short time, I am impressed by your strength in fighting the Japanese. I, Zhang Guofu, don't have anything else, but I have this organizational ability. I will definitely bring back 3,000 people."
Zhang Guofu stood up and patted his chest to make a promise.
He was really thinking just now, if he went out, would he not want to come back? But later he thought about it and found that it was not possible.
First of all, there is the strength of Gu Changfeng. Even if he leaves the team, how long can he be free?
What's more, there are still Japanese devils outside.
Another point is that he felt that if the team continued to develop in this way, it would be hard to say whether the Japanese in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei would be strong enough to fight.
Gu Changfeng said, "I do recognize Lao Zhang's organizational skills, but don't cram everyone into the team. There's no need for that. Bringing back 3,000 people isn't a hard requirement."
"Captain Gu, can I apply to stay in the base?" Li Jie stood up and said with some shame.
He was a platoon leader of a rocket launcher platoon, but was suddenly forced to become a battalion commander. The pressure was extremely great. If it weren't for Deng Wu's command last time, he would have led the team into trouble.
"Li Jie and Lao Huang stay behind. The others will assign targets themselves after digging the tunnels." Gu Changfeng said directly.
Huang Zhengkui is impulsive and not suitable for going out, so staying in the camp is the best choice. Li Jie is simply incompetent, which means there is no one else at the moment, otherwise the commander of the seventh battalion really needs to be replaced.
"Haha, now that everyone has finished speaking, it's my turn as the chief steward to speak."
After Zhou Qianli attracted everyone's attention, he looked at the several battalion commanders who were about to leave and said, "We have been cooperating more with the Eighth Route Army recently. I found that each of their independent battalions, regiments, or divisions has a separate political commissar."
"I'm mainly responsible for supervision, discipline enforcement, organizational management, and ideological work. I think this is pretty good."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood immediately. Several battalion commanders thought at the same time that they were still worried about them.
Zhou Qianli noticed the expressions on their faces and couldn't help but smile as he said, "You guys are all rough and tumble guys. You guys are no problem fighting the Japanese, but are you sure you can handle logistics and daily life?"
"If you say yes, then I won't send anyone. You can do it yourself."
Well, the last sentence is the Achilles' heel of all the battalion commanders, they don't understand it at all.
It was previously managed by Zhou Qianli and Wan Chenghai. Now that they have to go out to develop, they really can’t avoid issues such as logistics and life.
After thinking about it this way, several battalion commanders put aside their grudges and expressed their agreement.
In fact, it is unrealistic to say that Zhou Qianli really has no intention of placing any personnel. It is difficult for Gu Changfeng to say it, and only he, the chief steward, can say it in order to avoid accidents in the future.
Gu Changfeng naturally agreed with this, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "The Japanese are definitely not going to stop after their defeat in Laiyuan. The next wave of offensive will probably be before the New Year, so you don't have much time left to develop."
He knew very well that the retreat of an entire brigade of the Japanese was definitely not due to fear, but that there must be a bigger plan waiting for them.
