When I returned to the temporary headquarters of Raoyang County, it was already early the morning of the next day. Bai Shujie's genuine "gun offensive" finally allowed Zhao Dengshun to win a complete victory and return with a full load. For the Northwest Army, the sudden addition of heavy weapons to a machine gun battalion was an epoch-making event.

Bai Shujie was generous and finally won the favor of the Northwest Army. But his real purpose is not this, but to hope that in the future Nanyuan offensive and defensive battles, the Fifth Regiment can use these equipment to cover the safe evacuation of Division Commander Zhao Dengyu, and not leave a regret for the ages.

This matter passed, and Bai Shujie didn't take it to heart. After returning to Raoyang, he asked Shang Ziyi to immediately send someone to pull out machine guns and mortars from the captured materials and send the equipment to the second battalion to replenish it.

Before he could eat breakfast, Xiao Lamei had already come in with a telegram: "Big brother, the Red Army in the south issued a telegram yesterday, saying that an anti-Japanese advance team had been formed, do you want to read the content of the telegram." Also, do we need to do anything about it? ”

"Is it the 16th today?" Bai Shujie was suddenly taken aback: "I don't need to read the telegram, I know about it." It is not clear whether any measures will be taken. There are many people who want to resist Japan, but it is still far from being able to turn their good wishes into reality. Wait, let's not rush. ”

Xiao Lamei asked strangely: "This is the telegram I just received, I haven't finished reading it yet, how do you know, can you really pinch it?" ”

"No, I've been dealing with the Northwest Army these days, and I've heard it from others." Bai Shujie found that he had made the mistake of "leaking the heavenly secret" again, so he quickly changed the topic: "Has there been no news from Chengde recently?" ”

"There was a telegram the day before yesterday, because of the matter of dealing with the bandit group, and because you are alone in the dark room and confined, I didn't talk to you." Xiao Lamei rolled her eyes: "The little devil's Mitsubishi Corporation sent their aerial guns and aviation machine guns to Fuxin in advance, and that little bastard was also handed over." It should have been yesterday, and the second batch of exchange materials for the little devils arrived. All the heavy artillery was there, but half of the shells hadn't arrived. ”

Bai Shujie nodded: "No cannonballs and cannons are waste, and the shells of heavy artillery are only halfway, which will be a constraint on us to use these heavy artillery." This must be explained to the little devils, if the shells are not delivered quickly, we must not release people. ”

"Also, the telegram said that the little devil's aircraft guns and parallel aviation machine guns are all hydraulic, fully automatic, and no one will use them." Xiao Lamei said softly: "Sister Jin Xi has sent someone to send six samples to the arsenal, and asked the workers to take them apart to see what is going on." Qin Yuefang and the others are organizing people to translate the little devil's instructions to see if they can find a way to crack it. ”

Bai Shujie hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted Xiao Lamei's words: "Hurry up and call them back, the aviation guns and aviation machine guns don't need to be cracked, they just need to be fully automatic." As for everyone who doesn't know how to operate, just wait for me to go back! ”

After a day of rest, Bai Shujie completely locked himself up. Tea and meals are all served by the sentinels at the door, and no one else is seen. Everyone has become accustomed to this kind of problem, and even Zhao Meiyan came over twice, and she no longer sighed.

The purpose of coming out this time has been achieved, and there are still a lot of things to deal with in Rehe Province. Bai Shujie was worried that after he left, the three counties that he had already received would be lost. Therefore, he needs to shut himself up and stop all distractions, and plan well.

Xiongxian is only a little more than 100 kilometers away from Tianjin in the northeast, and only 60 or 70 kilometers away from Baoding in the southwest. The north is directly connected with the front line of Beiping and Tianjin, the east is the sea, and the south is Baiyangdian. This place is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

Raoyang, Anping line, more than 100 kilometers to the east is Cangzhou, 50 kilometers to the south is Hengshui, more than 100 kilometers to the west is Shimen (Shijiazhuang), 70 kilometers to the north is Baoding. This is a place of four wars, and there is no danger to defend. The enemy can attack from a 360-degree direction at any time, and there is no way to guarantee the safety of the city.

Once the little devils invade North China, Beiping, Baoding, and Shimen (Shijiazhuang) will definitely bear the brunt, and if there is no 300,000 elite troops to resist with all their might, these cities will naturally fall first.

Even if all the Rehe Front troops were pulled over, it would be impossible to hold these places. Moreover, once the Rehe Front Army leaves the natural advantage of the lofty mountains and mountains of Sanxian Cave, it will be to give up the strengths and take the weaknesses and touch the stones with eggs. Chengde was lost, and North China could not be saved, so Bai Shujie was reduced to a lost dog and was slaughtered.

What has already arrived, just give it away, Bai Shujie is difficult to choose for a while. In particular, Zhao Meiyan and Li Siliang and others came with enthusiasm, just to have a base of their own. So, give up the vast areas of these counties, and they will definitely not do it.

After the headache, Bai Shujie continued to have a headache.

From the second day, Bai Shujie felt that he had decided to think in the long run, and he should stick to the land of the three counties. There are pros and cons to everything, and after empathy, he finally thought of the three old men who had spent three years digging a tunnel in order to get weapons. Pushing forward from this, I also thought of the masterpiece of the Eighth Route Army: "Tunnel Warfare"!

Now the little devil still needs more than two years to prepare, if these three years are used to let the county independent regiment quietly start work under the organization of Li Siliang and others, a huge underground city can be built in three years.

Bai Shujie has never seen the real authenticity of Nian Zhuang, but he has seen the teaching film "Tunnel War" many times. Therefore, based on the content of the film, combined with his own understanding of various weapons, he began to conceive the construction plan of the underground permanent fortifications.

The main body built by Bai Shujie all revolves around the front line of Raoyang and Anping. Because the north belongs to the Futuo River Basin, Bai Shujie is worried about the underground water, so the core of the future tunnel war is concentrated in the south of the two county seats. It is mainly connected by Nanwangzhuang, Tangfeng Town, and Wugong Town to form a huge underground fortification.

However, for the sake of secrecy, construction could not start from these three places, and only after the outbreak of the Great War or the complete consolidation of the red anti-Japanese base areas could the common people know about it.

After three days of continuous operations, a plan marked as "Raoyang and Anping Water Conservancy Project Jihua" was promulgated.

In this plan, there are many "drainage facilities" for different purposes, and the top and bottom are divided into three layers of network, including flaps, traps, dead ends and other functions. As for the hiding holes, weapons depots, grain warehouses, operational headquarters, troop transport channels, combat posts, and evacuation sites for the people, careful planning was carried out.

Bai Shujie did not make too large an idea, and it was estimated that the dungeon would accommodate 100,000 people. The most important and secret part must be the core personnel to construct it themselves, that is, the underground passage leading to the two counties from eight directions!

In Bai Shujie's vision for the future, the two county towns can be completely "occupied" by the little devils, and let the little devils build them into fortresses. As long as you grasp the location of the little devil's barracks and ammunition depot, you can dig it up temporarily when the time comes. Every time the little devil fills the warehouse, he launches a surprise attack to seize the county seat, so that the little devil will never be at peace in North China.

For the water network area of Baiyangdian, only small groups of troops can be used for guerrilla warfare, which is not suitable for the movement of large corps, so Bai Shujie did not plan anything specifically.

Spending so much energy on this, Bai Shujie is just building a strategic base for Chengde. Once the little devils occupy the whole of North China, Chengde is bound to become an isolated island. In the case of the enemy on all sides, the heart of the enemy must have its own raiding force before the time comes.

After this big thing, the most important thing is to explain the work. How to explain the importance of this "water conservancy engineering book" is still a bit nerve-wracking. Because Zhao Meiyan, Li Siliang and others didn't know how ferocious the little devil was.

As for labor, Bai Shujie is not worried. More than 1,300 bandits were sentenced to prison terms, and two years was enough time to do a lot of things. As for the future way out of these bandits, Bai Shujie doesn't want to care about it for the time being. However, before that, labor reform is a must.

After careful consideration, Bai Shujie decided that the issue of the dungeon would not be exposed for the time being, and Zhao Meiyan and others would also be kept strictly secret. Instead, the independent regiment was left to develop on the front line of Raoyang and Anping, and their task was to supervise the bandits to carry out labor reform in accordance with the requirements of the "Water Conservancy Project Jihua Book".

Regarding the earthwork issue, Bai Shujie has already done it. Now is not the time for environmental protection, so carry out "enclosing the river and making fields" on both sides of the Futuo River! Although there will definitely be many people who say that Bai Shujie is "full of food", it is still okay to hide people's eyes.

figured out the joints, and then brought Wei Chong and Wang Sanju to the headquarters, and the three of them locked themselves in the room and talked for a whole day.

"You all understand the general situation, and it will be up to you to do so in the future." Bai Shujie Zuihou said: "If you can't understand it now, you will know what I really mean when the time comes." As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three holes. It's not enough for us to have just one Three Immortal Cave, you are another core base here. I hope that you will devote all your energy to doing this as Gan Tong did when he built the Three Immortal Caves. ”

"Considering the weapon problem here, your independent regiment can draw out a battalion and still take the Gubeikou passage and slowly move it from Chengde. The only thing I want to emphasize again and again is two words: confidentiality, confidentiality! This is a major matter related to the life and death of the Rehe Front Army, and it must not be taken lightly! ”

Wei Chong said with a solemn face: "Commander-in-chief, rest assured, for so many years, we have all learned the importance of the secret base area. Without a strong fortress, it is impossible to stand firm. I can't even stand on my feet, let alone fight the little devils! We understand this truth, you can rest assured! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
