"Ah?" Kong Jie said in surprise, "Xiao Wang, you have always been very broad-minded. Why did you vent your anger with Lao Li this time?"

Wang Ye said: "Because this batch of American equipment is more important to us."

"What? More important to us?" Kong Jie said, "Xiao Wang, what do you mean is that this batch of American equipment will be more effective than giving them to the Ministry of Tourism?"

"Yes." Wang Ye said, "Only staying in northwest Shanxi can play a greater role."

Ding Wei heard a little meaning and asked in a deep voice: "Old Li, Xiao Wang, you two tell me the truth. Are you thinking about some big moves?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Old Ding, I can't hide anything from you."

After a pause, Li Yunlong said to Wang Ye again: "Xiao Wang, you are a good dog-headed military advisor. Your thinking is clearer than me and your speaking is more organized than me. Come and talk to me and Lao Ding and Lao Kong."

Wang Ye automatically ignored the first half of the sentence because even complaining was useless.

When it comes to talking about the Dog-Head Military Advisor next time, Li Yunlong will also talk about the Dog-Head Military Advisor.

Wang Ye stood up and spread the map on the table, then pointed to the map and said, "Captain Ding, Commander Kong, look at the map. As Ying County becomes the defense zone of the new regiment, the entire northwest of Shanxi has basically been included in our base area. Only Fu'an County is under the control of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, and the triangular area between Wan County, Fu'an County and Anhua County is under the control of the 69th Division of the Japanese Army."

"First talk about Liang Gang's 94th Independent Brigade of the Central Army."

"Liang Gang is more low-key than Chu Yunfei, and he is much more cautious."

"Now, because we drove away the only brigade of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army, it is very politically subtle now."

"So it is not appropriate to attack Liang Gang's 94th Independent Brigade of the Central Army in a short period of time, otherwise it will easily lead to a new round of conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party."

"It makes sense." Ding Wei said.

Li Yunlong had different opinions on this.

Li Yunlong said: "My opinion is that before dealing with the Japanese, Liang Gang's 94th Brigade must be dealt with, otherwise Liang Gang will definitely stab the knife in the back again."

"Even if Liang Gang doesn't have this meaning, Lao Chang will give him an order directly."

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "With the urinary nature of Lao Chang and Yan Laoxi, it is impossible to watch our 386th Brigade continue to expand and consolidate the northwestern base in Shanxi."

This is back to the previous topic.

Kong Jie said: "The problem is that we can't find a tool."

In dealing with Chu Yunfei's unique brigade, they found the food trap.

But if they want to deal with Liang Gang's 94th Brigade, they cannot find a similar grasp.

Li Yunlong said: "If you can't find a handle, don't look for it. Just use military means to solve it."

"That won't work." Kong Jie said decisively, "If you do this, you will definitely provoke friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Not to mention whether it will cause serious political consequences. Even if it does not trigger a new round of friction, you and I cannot bear this responsibility."

However, Wang Ye proposed an interpretation from another perspective and said: "The 94th Brigade of the Independent Ninety-Fourth Brigade is actually not a big problem."

After pausing, Wang Ye pointed to the map and said, "Because Fu'an County is in the northeast corner of northwest Shanxi, it does not hinder the traffic between our three regiments. Moreover, the threat of Lianggang's troops is much smaller than that of Chu Yunfei's troops. Now that Chu Yunfei's troops are gone, Lianggang's six thousand people can no longer cause any waves."

"That's right." Kong Jie nodded, "At worst, you can separate two battalions to monitor him."

At present, the three regiments in northwestern Shanxi have reached 30,000, so they really don’t take Liang Gang Brigade seriously.

"So, my opinion is to keep Liang Gang's account first." Wang Ye said, "Anyway, with the urinary nature of Yan Xishan and Lao Chang, there will definitely be some trouble in the future. Then we will settle the new account with him."

"I agree with this." Ding Wei nodded, "Xiao Wang, just say what big move it is, right?"

"Okay." Wang Ye pointed to the map and said, "Captain Ding, Commander Kong, look, the 69th Division of the Japanese is entrenched in Anhua County, Ping'an County and Dong County, guarding Tongpu Road, just like the Chuhe Hanjie Divided the defense zones of our three regiments into east and west, one of which was attacked, and the other could not be supported in time."

"Yes." Li Yunlong said, "Last time the defense zone of our independent regiment was swept by the Japanese. Lao Ding and Lao Kong's troops could not pass Tongpu Road. Finally, the brigade commander transferred Lao Cao's artillery regiment to help you break through Tongpu Road. Although our equipment is well-equipped and each family has a gun battalion, the Japanese can also strengthen the blockade of Tongpu Road. At that time, it may still be divided into two pieces by the Japanese, and there is no way to support each other."

Wang Ye said: "The problem now is that not only the entire northwestern Shanxi base area has been divided into two parts, east and west, but what is even more troublesome is that due to the blockage of highways, the equipment stored in our Fuliangshan Fortress cannot be transported, and the equipment cannot be passed. Steel plants, power plants and arsenals cannot be built."

After the last time, the equipment of other factories that were demolished from Taiyuan had been transported to Taiyue Mountain. It has almost been built and put into production one after another. However, the machinery and equipment of the steel plant, power plant and bullet factory are still in the Fuliangshan Fortress, and have not started to build a factory, let alone put into production.

This is not because Li Yunlong and the others are delaying their work, but because of the actual difficulties.

Among them, the main reason is that there are no engineers. Another reason is that the Japanese-occupied area blocks traffic in northwest Shanxi, making it impossible for the machinery and equipment placed in the Fuliangshan Fortress to cross Tongpu Road and transport it to Wohu Mountain Area.

Because these machines and equipment are not light in weight, mules and horses cannot carry them, and they must use carriages.

"Oh yes." Kong Jie slapped his forehead and said again, "I almost forgot to build an arsenal!"

"I forgot it too." Ding Wei asked Wang Ye again, "Xiao Wang, have you found an address suitable for building a factory?"

"It's already found." Wang Ye nodded, pointed to the map and said, "It's right between Wohu Mountain and Jiugong Mountain, and next to the Yellow River, right here."

"Wanmadu? I've been here."

Kong Jie said: "Wanmadu is a ferry on the east bank of the Yellow River, with about a hundred families."

Ding Wei asked, "Xiao Wang, the northwest of Shanxi is so big, why did you choose such a small ferry?"

Wang Ye said: "Because Wanmadu has a ready-made highway that leads directly to Anhua County, with convenient transportation, the equipment from Fuliangshan Fortress can be transported here, which can save time on the road construction."

Building a highway often takes a lot of time and moves for more than half a month.

After pausing, Wang Ye said: "And after the factory is completed, the transportation of raw materials and products is convenient, and you can even go directly to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region by water."

“In addition, Wanmadu has another advantage.”

"That's the terrain is complex, with cliffs and forests, which are easier to hide."

"So I thought about it again and again and decided to build three factories in Wanmadu."

In fact, Wang Ye had another consideration, that is, if the northwest base in Shanxi could not be maintained, he could directly remove the factory's machinery and equipment and transfer it from Wanmadu to the Yellow River to the Hetao area.

Of course, they would not do this unless they had to.

Because no matter what, the Hetao area is a defense zone of the Sui Army.

The Sui Army is known as the seventh and a half routes, and has a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army, but the Sui Army is still the National Army and the Eighth Route Army is not a family member after all, so we should be wary of it.

In short, Wanmadu is a very good alternative to industrial zones.

Ding Wei frowned and said, "Can the factory be built in Wanmadu?"

Kong Jie also said: "Yes, isn't it okay to build it directly on Fuliang Mountain?"

"This really doesn't work." Li Yunlong said, "Xiao Wang told me a long time ago that no matter steel plants, power plants or arsenals, they all need a lot of water supply. We in Fuliang Mountains don't even drink enough water, so how can there be excess water for building a factory? This is simply impossible."

Kong Jie asked: "The factory needs a lot of water?"

Wang Ye said: "Yes, not only does it require a large amount of water supply, but it cannot be interrupted. For example, the cooling tower of a power plant will be troublesome once the water supply is interrupted."

Ding Wei said: "In this case, it is really the most suitable Wanmadu."

Wang Ye said: "So we must connect the entire northwestern Shanxi base area into one!"

He paused and said, "Otherwise, the machinery and equipment would not reach Wanmadu, steel plants, power plants, and arsenals would not be built at all, and the logistical support problem would never be solved."

Li Yunlong said: "If you want to connect the entire northwestern Shanxi base area into one, you must conquer the three counties, namely Han County, Anhua County and Ping'an County!"

Ding Wei said: "This means that we will severely damage or even wipe out the 69th Division of the Japanese Army!"

Speaking of this, Ding Wei said again: "Xiao Wang, the 69th Division of the Japanese Army is a tough bone. Moreover, since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, our Chinese army has never wiped out the first-level Japanese division units in offensive operations, even the three-unit field division has never."

Ding Wei is right, the Chinese army has indeed not yet annihilated the first-level troops of the Japanese division.

In fact, not to mention the division level troops, even the detachment level troops have not been completely wiped out, and there are very few battles to completely wipe out the Japanese military brigade level.

Kong Jie said: "Yes, Xiao Wang, are we sure?"

No wonder Kong Jie and Ding Wei were unsure because they had never fought such a big battle before.

Speaking of which, during the anti-sweeping campaign, they had fought with one or even two Japanese troops, but that was the Japanese army taking the initiative to attack, and their Eighth Route Army was the defense.

But this time, the situation turned around.

This time, the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to attack.

Therefore, Ding Wei and Kong Jie are inevitably confused.

This is actually human nature. You always feel unsure about things you have never tried before.

However, as a time traveler, Wang Ye has seen too many classic battle examples, so Wang Ye has no concerns like Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Wang Ye knew very well that they had a chance.

Wang Ye said at the moment: "Are you sure you can tell if you analyze it?"

"First talk about the troops." Li Yunlong said, "According to the information provided by the inside, the 69th Division of the Japanese was under the jurisdiction of three infantry corpses and one mountain artillery corps, as well as a baggage team, engineer team, search team and division headquarters directly under the corps, with a total force of about 15,000."

Wang Ye continued: "The main technical equipment is 36 Type 41 75mm caliber mountain cannons, 18 92 infantry cannons, plus 15 Type 95 tanks."

Kong Jie frowned and said, "Our troops are 30,000. Although they are twice the Japanese troops, they need at least four times the troops to launch a tough battle according to the rules, so the troops are still insufficient."

"Captain Kong, you're wrong." Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "The accounts are not settled like you."

"Oh, is that?" Kong Jie said, "Xiao Wang, then tell me how to calculate the account?"

Wang Ye said: "Because we are the offensive side and dominate the tactical position, we can launch an attack on the Japanese army at any time and anywhere."

"And you can mobilize all mobile forces."

“Considering that we can hand over the defenses of the base to the militia’s forces,”

"In fact, we can mobilize all 30,000 troops for this battle!"

After pausing, Wang Ye said again: "On the contrary, the Japanese army is not the case. The Japanese 69th Division's troops were scattered in three counties and the main strongholds along Tongpu Road."
