    In order to ensure the success of this operation, Yang Zhen also specially selected dozens of cadres from the former First Army who were active in South Manchuria who were familiar with the terrain and people's conditions in South Manchuria to conduct secret training, and even  The 1st Airborne Division, which is still training, is also on the list to implement this plan.

    Just when Yang Zhen arrived in Suide by plane and crossed the Yellow River to Xingxian, the troops participating in this operation had already taken advantage of the current main force of the Kwantung Army to be attracted to the Xinjing and Rehe lines. There was only one in the entire southern Manchuria hinterland.  Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Japanese division secretly marched toward Fushun and Fengtian along the Changbai Mountains and Fenghai Railway.

    Several leading units of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region had already secretly penetrated along the Changbai Mountains between Fengtian and Fushun shortly after the battle started. Judging from the time, the troops had already started fighting around Fengtian and Fushun at this time, and were in close contact with each other.  Compared with the large-scale operations and investment in Southern Manchuria, the battle of Taiyuan is just scratching the surface.

    For these workers, Yang Zhen has spent a lot of money, and on his list, not only Chinese workers, but also Japanese skilled workers are included. The Manchuria Medical University established by Fengtian Manchuria Railway  , Fengtian University of Technology, Fengtian Agricultural University, including Japanese teachers and students, are all on this list.

    Yang Zhen did this not only to strengthen the self-industrial development capabilities of the base area, but also to weaken the Japanese military in disguise. Fengtian Arsenal was responsible for 60% of the ammunition production of the Japanese invaders. Without Fengtian Arsenal, the invasion of China would be  The ammunition needed by the Japanese army could only be transported from Japan. This not only increased the cost of the Japanese war, but also undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the Japanese war.

    Accompanying the attack are some technicians. The job of these technicians is to dismantle all the portable equipment that can be disassembled in major factories in Fengtian. The equipment for making cannons is too bulky and takes too long to disassemble. It is so good.  It's not that bulky after all, I'll dismantle all the bullet machines, and I'll disable all your light weapons.

    The acid refining furnace in the chemical factory is too heavy, so I won¡¯t dismantle it. I will dismantle all the parts that can be taken away. I will prevent you from using them in a short time. Yang Zhen¡¯s idea is very simple.  If the factory blows up, the only losers will be the Chinese themselves in the future, but I will find a way to prevent you from resuming production in a short period of time, greatly weaken your ability to support war with war, and increase your ability to maintain war as much as possible.  cost.

    Moreover, the equipment and conditions of Fengtian Arsenal are much better than those of Taiyuan. In all large factories, trains can drive directly into the factory. This also creates some relative convenience for the shipment of some light equipment. In order to be able to ship goods in a short time  , the rush was completed as soon as possible, and Yang Zhen even issued a secret forced mobilization order to Li Mingbo, who was in charge of the command.

    However, Yang Zhen did not dare to report this matter to the central government. The large-scale migration of hundreds of thousands of workers, laborers, and even their families was still in Southern Manchuria, which has extremely developed transportation and has always been the core area ruled by the Kwantung Army. This crazy plan may not be possible.  Only Yang Zhen can do it. If he takes a large number of elites to take this risk, the central government will definitely not agree.

    Yang Zhen just smiled and did not refute the boss's criticism. But now that things have developed to this point, the boss can only adopt a default attitude and criticize Yang Zhen a few words, just because this guy's actions are always so scary.  , and I have to say a few words.

    The boss, who was still unaware of some things, did not criticize Yang Zhen too much on this matter. Since Yang Zhen insisted on the direction of Taiyuan for a while, the boss did not say anything more. After all, this Taiyuan battle was responsible for the main task.  The combat mission was for the Anti-Union troops. Although they were small in strength, Yang Zhen, the top military leader of the Anti-Union, still knew how long they could last.

    After talking about the situation in Taiyuan, the boss turned the topic back to the current overall war situation. Although the fighting in Taiyuan was lively, for this war, it was only a local war situation. Compared to the war in Taiyuan, the boss was more concerned about it.  The most important thing is the war situation in northern Shanxi and Northeast China.

    As for Yang Zhen's question of raising part of the food and animal power from northwest Shanxi for the anti-Japanese war troops in northern Shanxi, the boss hesitated again and again and handed over the issue to the Jinsui Border Region Government for overall arrangements. How much food could be provided?  , they, the landowners, know best.

    But the boss also told Yang Zhen that the northern Shanxi base area, which was originally barren and impoverished, had experienced continuous raids by the Japanese army in autumn and winter last year. The current situation in the northern Shanxi base area has become even worse. The food that can be raised in the northern Shanxi base area is probably very limited, let alone  Flour and other fine grains, namely millet, sorghum and corn, may not be available in large quantities.

    ??Originally, except for the three counties of Baode, Hequ and Pianguan, the grain output in northwestern Shanxi was still sufficient for export in addition to meeting their own needs. However, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army has repeatedly carried out large-scale raids.As a result of repeated backsaws, grain output declined rapidly.

    Although after painstaking efforts and certain policy adjustments last year, the grain output in the Shanxi-Sui Border Region has begun to rebound, a huge amount of food was stolen and burned during the Japanese raids last year, especially in the fall.  , several major grain-producing counties in Judah were lost.

    Since the beginning of spring, many farmers in the base areas have been unable to eat even sorghum and millet, let alone oatmeal and other traditional fine grains in northern Shanxi. They can only rely on black beans as their staple food in daily life. Even the Jinsui Military Region and Border Region Government are also experiencing food shortages.  In such a situation, even a considerable number of agencies and troops can only eat black beans as their staple food.

    After hearing the boss's words, Yang Zhen was silent for a long time, and then said: "Boss, if the food problem is not solved, the combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed. We fought twice in Guisui and Jining and indeed seized a large amount of food.  , but the grain seized in Guisui has been allocated to the troops leaving the Shanxi-Sui Military Region. "

    "As for the food seized in Jining, it seems that it can last for a week now. If it lasts longer, it will be difficult to afford. Moreover, as the war progresses, the entire northern Shanxi battlefield will continue to invest troops. As the troop strength increases,  The food seized in Jining lasts longer and shorter.¡±

    "I also know that northwest Shanxi is very difficult now, but the current situation is that we can only ensure the transportation of ammunition, and we are really unable to take into account the security of food. We don't ask for much. One thousand tons of coarse grains is enough. If it is not possible, five hundred tons  It¡¯s also possible. As for the rest, we¡¯re trying to find a way to transport it from the northeast.¡±

    In response to Yang Zhen's request, the boss frowned and turned to look at the Chairman of the Jinsui Border District Government who was also frowning next to him. However, the two of them shook their heads in unison. One stone weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms.  One thousand tons of grain is equivalent to nearly 20,000 shi of grain. Although this number is not much, it is indeed difficult to obtain it in northwest Shanxi.

    One hundred and twenty kilograms is one stone, and this thousand tons of grain is more than 17,000 stone. If it were placed before the Anti-Japanese War, this grain would not be a problem. Even if it was placed the year before last, let alone more than 17,000 stone of grain, it would be more than 17,000 stone for northwest Shanxi.  , it is not a big problem, even doubling it again is not a big burden.

    However, at present, after many rounds of large-scale raids in the past year, coupled with the withdrawal to northwestern Shanxi last winter for rest and recuperation, and the use of troops from the Central Hebei Military Region who did not withdraw until this battle, and the burden of food supply for the border region government, party, government and army, this number  But it is actually a bit unaffordable.

    It¡¯s just that what Yang Zhen said is indeed true. Datong is thousands of miles away from Beiman in this battle. After the ammunition transportation is satisfied, it is indeed quite difficult to transport a large amount of food to meet the needs of a large number of troops, not to mention not only Jin  The food needed by the Anti-Japanese Alliance on the northern battlefield, as well as the food needed by the advancing army fighting in Chanan, also needs to be transported from the northeast.

    The Japanese army on the North China Front did a much better job of clearing the country than the Kwantung Army. The area occupied by the advancing army had almost no food reserves. Since the food production in Chanan itself was not much, the food raised locally could only meet part of the food supply.  needs, most of the food still needs support from the Northeast.

    Coupled with the huge consumption of ammunition required for the two armies to fight, the transportation capacity of the entire Anti-Japanese Alliance has been extremely tight, and there is a lack of railway lines along the way. It is too heavy to rely on car transportation. At present, the entire northern Shanxi battlefield is completely dependent on the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  It is somewhat unrealistic to transport grain from the Northeast.

    If there is no food, the troops cannot be gathered, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. We can't let the anti-union troops take on the main combat tasks on the one hand, and go to war hungry on the other hand. But where will the food be transported from? It makes the boss really  It's a headache. Last winter, the entire North China base area was still in trouble. It has not yet been completely overcome.

    Due to the lack of food and clothing for the winter, the non-combat attrition of the troops far exceeded the combat attrition. The scene is still fresh in the boss's mind. At present, neither Beiyue District nor Shanxi North District, which is close to the battlefield, can afford a large number of troops.  food supply.

    Looking at Yang Zhen with an expectant look on his face, the boss thought for a long time and gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, I will ask the northwest of Shanxi to come up with five thousand shi of grain, and I will ask the northern part of Shaanxi to transfer another thousand shi of grain to you. As for the rest,  I will ask the troops from the Jinsui Military Region to transport the remaining part to you from Guisui."

    "They have already completed the capture of Baotou and have switched to defensive operations across the board. They can save part of the food to support you. Moreover, they have also seized part of the food in Baotou, which can last for a while. Although Suixi is not as rich as northwest Shanxi, it has not experienced a war after all.  Destroy, and part of it can be raised locally.¡±

    "This time, more than 100,000 shi of grain were rushed from Taiyuan. I asked the Shanxi-Sui Border District Government to allocate another 5,000 shi of grain to you from this batch of grain. As for the long-term food supply, whether it is the central government or Shanxi-Sui  The border area is really powerless.¡±

    "Yang ?Comrade ?comrade, since the beginning of spring this year, there has been no rain in the entire southeastern Shanxi region. The drought has initially appeared, and spring sowing has been greatly affected. The Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions have been experiencing drought since last year. In addition, last year's Japanese army  Many brutal sweeps have been carried out, and starvation has already appeared in some areas of the base areas behind enemy lines in North China.  "

    "I can't give you all the hundreds of thousands of stones of grain rushed out from Taiyuan. Taihang, Taiyue, and Hebei, Luyu all need to reserve some grain in case of disasters. To be able to come up with so much grain, we have already tried our best.  , You also know that the grain output in northern Shaanxi is not high, and it needs to be transported from northwestern Shanxi on a daily basis. Last winter, the entire army tightened its belts to get through it. "

    "Now, not only the entire Shanxi, Hebei and Luyu region, drought conditions have begun to show. Even Henan in the Kuomintang-controlled area has experienced significantly less rain since the beginning of spring. If there is no drenching rain, the entire spring plowing in Henan may be affected this year.  Impact, and Jinan District and Hebei Luyu are the first to bear the brunt.¡±

    "We have a saying in Sichuan that if we have a full meal and no need to knock rice buckets, we must live a steady life with steady water flow. If this year's drought continues to develop, we must make certain preparations to prevent a major disaster from really coming.  In a panic, some of the food shipped out from Taiyuan must be kept as a reserve.
