A team needs to know its highest strategic purpose. After Xu Zilin returned from the brigade department and headquarters, she brought this strategic purpose back.

"In January this year, our 3,8 and 6th Brigades were reorganized into division mobile units, with various regiments under their jurisdiction, including our New Third Regiment, and still using local guerrilla warfare as the main strategic means to continue to stalemate with the Japanese army.

Lao Xu, it seems that we have to stay in this Niu Village for a while."

Han Feng said: "What does the brigade commander mean? Have you given any orders?"

Xu Zilin said: "Now the brigade headquarters is waiting for the orders of the division headquarters at any time. For our regiments, the brigade headquarters ordered us to wait and see. Of course, guerrilla warfare should continue and do not carry out major moves for the time being."

Han Feng asked, "What is a big move?"

Xu Zilin said: "This...the specific standard brigade commander didn't say... Lao Han, don't you really want to do a big move, right?"

Han Feng said: "Since the beginning of winter this year, the Japanese have been sweeping countless times in North China, just say that this area of ​​Niu Village has come three times.

The people's lives are too hard, with bandits, puppet troops, Japanese troops, and even Guo troops everywhere. Some of these people are scattered in enemy-occupied areas of the Japanese, some are scattered in quasi-enemy war zones, and some are outside the enemy-invading war zones.

It's ridiculous to say that although the enemy-occupied areas have a hard life, they can survive at least.

The people in the quasi-enemy war zone were suffering. The Japanese, puppet army, and even the Guo army wanted to plunder them from time to time. Not to mention whether their stomachs could be filled. When winter comes, the cold currents come overnight. The next day, as long as you go to the streets and alleys, you can’t fill them up with frozen bodies in sacks, and the proportion of children is very high.

As for the people outside the enemy-occupied area, they have lived even more miserable life. Bandits are rampant and Japanese and puppet troops are rampant. In addition, the Japanese army has swept the country again and again this year. If a village is not protected by any army, it would be good if 1/10 of the people who survived would be able to survive.

What does this mean? It means that the people are living the most miserable time and need the most people's soldiers like us. If we continue to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains and forests and engage in small-scale battles with the Japanese army, the effect will not only be very small for the people, but will instead anger the anger of the Japanese army even more. At that time, the Japanese vented this anger on the people, and their lives will be even more miserable.

So I don’t want to wait anymore. Since the brigade commander has not given specific standards for what a major action is, then the standards are in my own hands.”

Xu Zilin was shocked, "Old Han, you can't do anything nonsense. Now, not to mention the whole of China, there are Japanese troops sweeping the entire North China.

The people who have suffered so much are something that cannot be changed for the time being, how many can you save?”

Han Feng laughed and said, "Old Xu, have you seen the sea?"

Xu Zilin stopped, "No."

"So have you seen fish stranded on the beach by the sea?"

"No."

"Then let me tell you that the last fish that are shallow in the water on the beach are the people, and the entire beach may be several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers long. There are so many fish, only so many people. Only Han Feng, and only my New Third Regiment, of course I can't save them all.

But because I can’t save anyone, can’t save anyone?

I just want to do my best to save as much as I can. We will not move the enemy-occupied areas and quasi-occupied areas for the time being, but we must wait to build them in our base areas outside the enemy war zone.

If you can shelter them from the wind and rain for a day, you can shelter them from the wind and rain for a day! At least the bandits and Japanese and puppet troops should not bully our people so casually."

Xu Zilin looked at Han Feng's resolute expression and was shocked all over. After a while, she deeply agreed: "Okay, Lao Han, let it go. I will support you with all my strength. As for the brigade and headquarters, I will communicate with the leaders."

"That couldn't be better."

"But what are you going to do?"

Han Feng laughed and said, "I will explain the specific approach in detail with everyone at the military meeting of the regiment headquarters tomorrow."

As for now, I'll tell you a little bit first, look here."

Han Feng spread a map on the wooden table. After Xu Zilin looked over, he pointed to the Taiyue Mountain area and said, "The Taiyue Mountain area is in the central and southern part of the Three Jins and south of Taiyue, and is not far from us.

This area has abundant water sources and lush forests. When spring and summer come completely, this area is very suitable for people to live in.

I think from the south of Taiyue as the starting point, the entire group of people gathered together in batches.

Then it will be completely developed into our anti-Japanese revolutionary base.

Starting from Linfen County, we gradually advanced to the surrounding areas such as Fushan, Yicheng, Jiangxian, Qinshui, Quwo, Yishi, Xiangqu, and Hongdong, and connected the areas south of Taiyue into one.

At that time, we can accept all refugees within a radius of dozens or even hundreds of miles, so that the people can vigorously develop their economy in a relatively stable environment. In this way, the people can save their lives and we have a mass base."

Xu Zilin was frightened by Han Feng's bold idea, and she worriedly said: "This... is a big move."

Han Feng laughed and said, "It depends on how you, Political Commissar Xu, reported it. Since we are fighting guerrilla warfare, we do not specify where to fight and what area to fight. All the soldiers of our New Third Regiment have developed to the south of Taiyuan, and have connected all the small bases opened for victory in guerrilla battles into one, and then they have become bases south of Taiyue. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"But we only have these troops, are we enough?"

Han Feng said in a deep voice: "Old Xu, I'll make a bet with you. After our team gathers, there may be nearly 12,000 people, but after we open up the base south of Taiyue, the number of people may increase by five or even dozens of times.

Nowadays, if you have a little bit of a life, who would risk the risk of being beheaded?

But there are too many people who have no way to survive. After all, this is one of the important reasons why our Eighth Route Army can grow rapidly to this point today."

Xu Zilin thought about something. After a while, she said to Han Feng in amazement: "Old Han, sometimes I think I am already familiar with you, but soon I will find that I know nothing about you.

OK, who made Lao Xu the political commissar of Lao Han?

I am your right-hand man, not a barrier to dragging you down.

You can let go of this matter!”

"With this political commissar, what should the leader ask for?"

Puff—

"Old Han, how could you use it like this? It's obvious that you have a husband like this, so what else can you ask for?"

"Ahem, you said this yourself."

Xu Zilin's face turned a little red, and she quickly changed the topic and said, "When are you going to take action?"

"It takes at least three or five days, and at most half a month! It takes time for the team to assemble, and we need to prepare for it even when we set off."

Xu Zilin said: "That's good. I'm in a hurry to come back today and there's another thing. You may have to wait for me for a few more days."

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know what happened to our seriously injured soldiers in these battles. I have to visit them in person at the military hospital. If I can join the battle again, I will take them back."

Han Feng said in confusion: "Are you enough to send someone to do this kind of thing?"

Xu Zilin looked around, no one was there, and whispered: "You idiot, I'm going to thank him for Tian Yu."

Han Feng:...
Chapter completed!
