    Looking at Yang Zhen's frown after hearing what he said, he thought that he was a little dissatisfied with the number of bosses. After a moment of silence, he said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, it is not our policy to kill the people to raise troops, let alone what we do.  Pai, you should know what kind of army we are.¡±

    "In a year of great disaster, not only the army needs to eat, but the people also need to eat. The army will not be able to fight if it is not full, and the people will not be able to survive if they are not fed. We cannot rest on our laurels and only satisfy the party, government and military cadres and troops at all levels.  life and death, regardless of the life and death of ordinary people.¡±

    "Now the entire North China region, except for Shandong, is better. Compared with the beginning of last year, the area has been reduced by one-third, and the population has been reduced by nearly half. The entire North China base area can't afford to feed so many troops even if it sells iron.  , This is not just you, but also other troops in North China. "

    "Last year's large-scale sweep was unprecedented, and the losses suffered by various base areas were also unprecedented. Now spring planting has just begun. The remaining grain stocks in each base area from last year, which were not much, are now even less.  If it were maintained, the central government would not have transferred some troops from the Taihang Military Region back to Yan'an for rest last winter. Wasn't it because they could not solve the problem of food and clothing that they transferred back the troops?"

    "The northwestern Shanxi region has already exhausted all the five thousand kilograms of food it can produce. This year's spring sowing has just begun, and it will be several months before they can replenish food. I'm afraid the agencies and troops in northwestern Shanxi will be  Before this year¡¯s autumn harvest, we can only rely on black beans.¡±

    "The key thing is whether the drought that has already occurred in the southeastern Shanxi, southern Hebei, Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions will spread to northwestern Shanxi and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei. Now none of us can guarantee that if the drought area increases significantly,  , then the already barren Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and northwest Shanxi regions are even less able to bear it, so for now they still have to leave some food for themselves in order to prepare for the drought. In addition to allocating part of the food rushed out from Taiyuan to Taihang  , and the rest will be used as food reserves.¡±

    "Although the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region launched a large-scale production movement last winter and this spring, we still have to wait until this autumn to see the results. You must know that the original Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region has been relying on the north of Shanxi  In terms of grain transfer support, now Shanxi and North Africa are not able to provide support to northern Shaanxi, but they themselves still need supplements from northern Shaanxi.¡±

    "What I'm talking to you about today is not to complain for the comrades in Guan Nei. I'm just letting you have a mental preparation. Even if this battle fully achieves our goal, at least before this autumn harvest, the various base areas in Guan Nei will not be able to afford your presence.  The supply of troops in northern Shanxi, and even if the disaster really spreads, you will probably have to allocate some food to support the pass. "

    Regarding the boss's answer, Yang Zhen thought about it and said: "Boss, I'm not dissatisfied. With more than one million kilograms of grain, I already feel very satisfied. I originally thought there would be some difficulties, but before  I didn¡¯t expect that the various base areas within the pass would be so difficult now.¡±

    "I have been thinking about some countermeasures just now. After all, the drought in most areas has just emerged. It is still unclear what kind of natural disasters this year will be. We must make some preparations. Once the disasters in southern Hebei, Hebei, Shandong and Henan are  The drought has spread to the southeastern region of Shanxi, and coupled with the blockade and raids by the Japanese and puppet troops, the base area may be even more difficult than last year. "

    "Boss, do you think this is a good idea? Our military vehicles transport ammunition and supplies from the rear. When they return, except for the wounded and prisoners of war, most of them are empty. This is undoubtedly a waste. I want local governments and divisions to  The disaster has occurred and we are unable to provide relief to the affected residents in the area, so we have to find ways to transfer them to the northwest of Shanxi."

    "We can also take in orphans whose parents were killed or snatched away during last year's anti-mopping up operations. As long as these people are sent to northwestern Shanxi or northeastern Shanxi, we will use trucks returning to the base to transport them.  Back to the Northeast, in a word, we can accommodate as many as we can.¡±

    "This will not only reduce the burden on each base area, but also increase the most urgently needed human resources in the Northeast. Boss, this spring drought this year is likely to be the beginning of a severe drought this year. I think we should make preparations in advance so that  To deal with this huge natural disaster.¡±

    "In addition, I would like to transfer a batch of sweet potato seedlings and potato seedlings from the Northeast and distribute them to various base areas. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are indeed unbearable to eat for a long time, but they are drought-resistant and have a large yield, although their nutritional value is not high.  , but it is high in calories and can prevent people from starving to death in years of severe drought.¡±

    "In addition, I suggest that each base area should start sowing seeds immediately if they have time to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes. If there is no time, they should immediately start planting vegetables such as radishes and pumpkins that are fast, high-yielding and drought-tolerant, as well as peanuts and other crops.  Take the method of substituting melons and vegetables,Decide on a batch of food substitutes.  "

    "Boss, since the signs of this year's drought have already leaked out, it's better for us to prepare countermeasures in advance. Only by preparing early can we minimize the losses. Because we can't grow food due to drought, we can plant some high-yielding, drought-tolerant crops.  Potatoes?¡±

    "We can also ask local governments to organize people to rush to repair water conservancy projects, dig some deep wells, and send troops to fight. But isn't the local government still there? We can still organize the people to save themselves. Even if the war is getting better, we can't watch the drought spread.  No matter what, as long as we work hard to find countermeasures, there will always be a solution.¡±

    Yang Zhen's consideration, the boss nodded slightly and said: "I'm very happy that you can consider this. I think we can try to do this, so that you start preparations immediately, and I immediately draft the draft.  Send a telegram to the major strategic areas, asking them to seize the time to arrange it, and try to pilot it first in southern Hebei and Hebei, Shandong and Yu, which were already affected by the disaster last year and have not seen any rain this spring. "

    "If it succeeds, it can be regarded as making some preparations for the future. If it fails, it is not a big deal. Are we thinking of a solution? You are right. As long as we work hard to find countermeasures, there are always some ways to deal with the disaster.  "We cannot ignore this drought."

    "But Comrade Yang Zhen, this issue will be discussed here for now. We are still engaged in a large-scale battle. As a military commander, I think we should focus our main energy on combat. On this matter, you  Can you urge the Northeast Bureau and local governments to do it? The central government has equipped you with such strong local governments, you should let them do their best. "

    "For us soldiers, the first thing we should do well is fight a good war. During war, victory or defeat on the battlefield is the key to solving all problems. If we win the battle, we have everything. If we lose the battle, we will have nothing."  There is no need to think about it, the war situation is changing, and the enemy situation is also changing. Those of us who are senior commanders must keep a calm mind at all times. "

    "Now you have to be mentally prepared. The two Japanese divisions brought back from the battlefields in Southeast Asia have landed in Tianjin and Tanggu one after another. A brigade drawn from the mainland has arrived in Peiping, and its reinforcements drawn from Central China have arrived.  Some of the troops on the Shimen front line have arrived in the Pingjin area."

    "We still don't know which battlefield these Japanese reinforcements are going to be deployed on now, but the situation you are facing will be more difficult, including the 32nd Division that has now appeared on the Shanxi battlefield. The Japanese reinforcements are arriving this time.  There are three complete organic divisions on the battlefield in Hebei and Jin."

    "These Japanese troops are not here for a visit, let alone an armed demonstration. At this time, Tokyo can dispatch two divisions from the Southeast Asian and Pacific battlefields to return to the Chinese battlefield. It shows that the Japanese army attaches great importance to the Chinese battlefield, and from the entire North China and Northeast China  Judging from the development of the war situation, I am afraid that most of these Japanese reinforcements will be deployed in the North China battlefield. "

    "Judging from the current changes in the entire front, I am not very worried if the Japanese army launches a counterattack purely from the front. What I am most worried about now is the junction between your northern Shanxi battlefield and the advancing army, as well as the Chanan and Renan battlefields.  At the junction, once the Japanese army breaks through here, it will have a fatal impact on our entire North China war situation. "

    "You are a veteran who has fought with the Japanese army for many years. You should be very clear about the tactics used by the Japanese army. Frontal assault and flanking detours are tactics they often use in combat. Chongqing has experienced this many times on the battlefield.  We suffered heavy losses. The front had withstood the Japanese offensive, but the flanks were often penetrated by the Japanese troops, causing the entire front to waver. This is a vivid example before us, and we cannot repeat their mistakes. "

    Faced with the boss's worries, Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "Boss, I have already begun to prepare for the Japanese reinforcements. After capturing Chifeng and Chengde, I have now moved all along the Nuruer Tiger Mountain line.  On the Jehol battlefield, which is entering defensive operations, a division of troops has been dispatched and is rushing to the northern Shanxi battlefield. Two brigades have been dispatched from the Chengde battlefield, plus a direct rocket artillery regiment, and allocated to the advancing army. "

    "On the battlefield in northern Shanxi, Wang Minggui's command, which is currently on the line from Luping to Chenjiapu, in addition to using one force to fight the Japanese troops who have reinforced to the Datong battlefield, also detached some troops to use Yang Jicai to fight this battle in Taiyuan.  The battle attracted the attention of the Japanese army to the Taiyuan front line, and its reinforcements were delayed in arriving at the battlefield in northern Shanxi. "

    "The Japanese army's deployment of troops on the battlefields around Datong has created a large number of vacancies, and they have seized Shuo County to the south. The troops on the front lines of Yanggao and Tianzhen have already seized Hunyuan with the cooperation of the troops of the three regiments in Beiyue District.  , Yingxian, and Guangling, completing the complete closure of the battlefield in northern Shanxi. "

    "And on the Datong battlefield, Chen Hanzhang's troops were alsoAfter stepping up the offensive against Datong, it turned out that they were short of troops. Although they broke through the defenses of the Datong city wall, they were unable to make progress. However, now that new reinforcements have arrived, they have begun to advance from east to west, changing the original situation.  A battle situation that can only be pushed forward in a straight line and progress is slow.  "

    "According to Chen Hanzhang's report, they can capture Datong cleanly and completely in two days at the latest. As long as they capture Datong and rely on the natural barrier of the Inner Great Wall to defend, the entire northern Shanxi battlefield will be firmly under our control.  In hand, boss, in order to enhance the firepower of this northern Shanxi battle, I have transferred two Soviet-made 122 howitzer regiments from the northeast. "

    "And Chen Hanzhang has been ordered to transfer some troops from Wang Minggui's headquarters, strengthen some tanks and cavalry to form a mobile group, focusing on the outflank troops that the Japanese army may dispatch, and he has been given an order to immediately launch an offensive on the inner Great Wall line.  The action of strengthening the walls and clearing the country.¡±

    "All the places that the Japanese army may choose as flank breakthroughs are filled with water wells, and all the people and food are forcibly moved away, so that even if the Japanese army breaks through the weak points of our defense, they will not be able to find a morsel of water or a grain of food.  , trapping and starving him to death in the mountains of northern Shanxi."
