"In half a month, the Japanese may be training. Although we don't know the specific time of dispatch, we must make arrangements as soon as possible." Yang Tianfeng said: "When the meeting, remind everyone that after the meeting, orders will be given to each unit, be vigilant, and increase mutual identification marks and commands of friendly forces. In addition, inform the security team, joint defense team and important institutions in the base area to strengthen the security forces. There are also some improvement measures that require the Chief of Staff to worry more."

"Okay, I will study and discuss carefully with the staff, try to improve preventive measures, and ask the guerrilla troops and intelligence officers in the enemy-occupied areas to pay attention to this special force." Liang Moqing nodded vigorously.

"I think we can release the smoke screen first, paralyze the enemy, and make them make wrong judgments, thinking that our army will not make any major moves in the near future." Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment and expressed his thoughts.

There is always a gap between the idea and reality. Of course, Yang Tianfeng wants more peaceful days and more buffer time for development and growth, but when the situation is forced and when it reaches a bottleneck, there will be obstacles in front of him. Therefore, we cannot passively wait for the Japanese to take action. We must take various measures to weaken the Japanese's strength.

The ancient and effective tactics of besieging the city and fighting aid were once again selected by Yang Tianfeng and Liang Moqing. For the Japanese army that were holding on to each key point, only by mobilizing them can they be eliminated while avoiding the consumption of attacks. The Japanese devils' stubbornness and fearlessness made their defenses daunting.

Devote yourself to death, silently devote yourself to serving it, and move forward with all your heart to win. Temper your heart and courage, and cultivate the belief that you will win... This kind of arrogant and persistent text after being brainwashed is often seen in the diary of the Japanese devils.

Moreover, the Japanese have a tradition of suicide. In order to have their own incense in the shrine, soldiers are always willing to die for the bullshit Japanese emperor.

Poor and terrible, Yang Tianfeng clenched his fists secretly and had to take military actions first and not give the Japanese time to make careful arrangements. The situation seems to be favorable now, but there are hidden dangers. Once the Japanese gather and prepare, once the Japanese special troops start to act, although they are not particularly scared, they are always suspected of being passively dealt with.

…………

Sometimes, suffering is entrusted with greatness, and sacrifice becomes glory. Especially on the battlefield, when you know why to fight and for whom, anger turns into the courage to be ready to die.

When a person is at the mercy of fate, he will be confused, confused, afraid, and weak. Once he strangled the throat of fate, he was the winner, and he had confidence and will. The heroic anti-Japanese forces, including the New Seventh Army, gave the people such an opportunity to control their own destiny, and were no longer the lambs that the Japanese devils slaughtered wantonly.

On October 16, the guerrillas under the New Seventh Army began a tentative attack and broke into some traffic lines. The main force also launched an action to remove small strongholds built by the Japanese army based on railways and highways.

In the early days, the Japanese army did not realize that behind it was a huge counterattack, and believed that it was a common harassment attack in guerrilla tactics, so they did not take targeted and comprehensive military actions, but only ordered local troops to send troops to counterattack and continued to step up preparations for the large-scale mobilization.

At this time, the Japanese army's deployment had not been finalized.

In order to resolve the contradiction between Xuzhou's military, political and economic management at the junction of the four provinces, the Chinese Expeditionary Forces Command of the Japanese Army ordered the transfer of the Suhuai area, which was originally the combat area of ​​the 12th Army, to the 13th Army.

That is, the combat areas between the North China Front Army and the 13th Army are stipulated as the territory between Shandong, Henan Province, Jiangsu and Anhui Provinces. At the same time, the 17th Division and the Army Hospital in Xuzhou are assigned to the commander of the 13th Army; the military police stationed near Xuzhou are assigned to the commander of the commander of the dispatched military police team in central China. In addition, the secret agencies in northern Jiangsu and Haizhou are assigned to the 17th Division.

The Japanese army thought that the battle would be clear after such division, but Yang Tianfeng did not agree. Henan and Anhui border areas belonged to the North China Front Army; Jiangsu and Anhui were the war zone of the 13th Army. Isn’t this going to face the attack of the two major Japanese groups?

Of course, this situation is unlikely to happen, at least there is no sign of this at present. The Japanese army is not united overall. The conflicts between the navy and the army are the most acute. For example, the Kwantung Army, the North China Expeditionary Army, the Central China Expeditionary Army, and the South China Expeditionary Army have their own barriers and clear boundaries, and there are few examples of cooperation in combat.

Moreover, the Japanese army in North China showed no sign of attacking the Henan-Anhui border area, and the attack might also point to western Henan. The Eighth Route Army also resisted stubbornly in North China, which made Tada Jun unable to draw enough troops for the time being. The 13th Army is the opponent who is currently going to counterattack, especially the 17th Division stationed in Xuzhou, which has lost Tanaka Qin's infantry regiment and is the enemy.

The target of the counterattack has been selected, and the strategy of accusing points or scamming the enemy is basically determined. However, when facing the cunning Miyamoto, he still needs to plan carefully and design a clever trap.

In comparison, the Japanese army attached great importance to the New Seventh Army and underestimated the Eighth Route Army. A brigade who was dissatisfied with the organization dared to go deep into the base area to sweep.

So, Yang Tianfeng hit the idea here and immediately contacted and communicated with the Eighth Route Army.

…………

The sun is setting in the west, and the light leaking through the gaps of the clouds has also changed color and shines in a small small village.

The command center of the Eighth Route Army Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region was located here. Commander Huang Kc and political commissar Cui tm were discussing the coordinated combat plan proposed by Yang Tianfeng in the house.

"The Xiaoxian Japanese have indeed had frequent activities in the past month. It seems that the New Seventh Army has also felt pressure and should take action first."

Huang Kc nodded and said, "At the same time, this also has the intention to disrupt the Japanese's winter raid. Yang Tianfeng saw far away and thought deeply!"

"The commander's opinion-" Cui Tianmin wanted to speak, but stopped thinking for a moment, and said, "Analysis from the information of all parties, Yang Tianfeng does not seem to have plans to march north to compete with us for territory."

"I also judged it like this." Huang Kecheng nodded and said, "Yang Tianfeng is following a path of steady development. What he needs most is time. Therefore, he will not make too many enemies, but instead ensure the safety of the Yongcheng base by supporting the anti-Japanese armed forces. Moreover, the eastern Henan plain is in control, providing him with a good base and conditions for development and growth."

"It's true." Cui Tianmin agreed, "The potential is surprising when more than 30,000 people were armed in a short period of time. Judging from the inside information, the treatment of the New Seventh Army and the living standards of the people in the base areas are very stable. This is not easy in the years of war."

Huang Kc smiled bitterly and said, "In terms of military and economics, Yang Tianfeng is a good player; in terms of politics, his attitude is unclear. Of course, this does not prevent us from learning his methods and experiences, such as military training, tactical playing style, and economic development. As for weapon manufacturing-"

Looking at Huang KC shaking his head gently, Cui Tianmin also smiled bitterly and expressed helplessness, "It's too difficult. Even if Yang Tianfeng is willing to give us the drawings, it will be difficult to build them with our equipment and technical strength. Moreover, we are too poor, and it will be very difficult to buy and replace them."

"There is only the best you can do!" Huang Kc sighed softly and said, "As for this coordinated operation, my opinion is to welcome and cooperate closely. After all, the construction of the Longhai Railway by the Japanese in Xiaoxian County also poses a threat to the western Shandong base."

Cui Tianmin agreed to this, but he still had doubts and said, "Do you ask the headquarters for instructions and then reply to Yang Tianfeng?"

Huang Kc pondered for a moment and said, "Asking for instructions, preparing at the same time. Don't wait for instructions to arrive, we have been delaying our time."

"I think I can take the opportunity to ask Yang Tianfeng for some weapons and ammunition." Cui Tianmin hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to be too sure, "But, does this feel like he is not giving money or not doing anything?"

"It's true." Huang Kc laughed and said, "It's better to put the overall situation first and not talk about the conditions first. According to Yang Tianfeng's style of conduct, if the battle wins, there will always be some expression."

Cui Tianmin smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "The price of an infantry cannon shell is more than a farmer's income a year, and we really can't afford it!"

"From the inside information, this is still a cost price!" Huang Kc shrugged and said, "It can be seen that Yang Tianfeng is quite generous. Especially for this coordinated combat, he promised to exchange ammunition for bullet shells in the future, which can solve a big problem."

"I know this too." Cui Tianmin frowned thoughtfully, "But how did Yang Tianfeng do it?"

…………………

Napoleon once said that the three most important factors in wars: the first is money, the second is money, and the third is money. Although you can’t win a battle with money, you can’t even fight without money.

Indeed, the army is a money-burning industry. Without money, the army cannot attract talents, cannot research equipment, and cannot afford training; without money, soldiers will have no food to eat, no clothes to wear, no guns to take... There is nothing, how can we fight?

Money does not only refer to currency, but also a general term for comprehensive aspects such as food, clothing, weapons, ammunition, etc. At least in the Yongcheng base, except for real money and silver, the increasingly depreciating banknotes are not very popular among the people.

The real war between China and Japan continues, and a currency war without gunpowder is also going on. In order to resist the proliferation of fake legal currency, the government has adopted some measures, one of which is the circulation of legal currency in the war zone. To explain, the legal currency stamped with the war zone seal can only be circulated in this war zone, and the war zone bank was established for this purpose.
