Chapter 567: Eating in the Cave
Chapter 567: Eating in the Cave
A small village in Yulin.
Ye Feng woke up from the cave early in the morning and had breakfast. A guard soldier came to find him. He followed him all the way to a quaint and quiet little house. After entering, he saw a man with a haggard and tired face. The cigarette in his hand was still not extinguished. On the table were thick documents. Ye Feng knew that this man who led the party to organize the armed forces and establish a great new China must have been working all night again.
"Report, Ye Feng, the commander of the independent reorganized division, is here to report." After Ye Feng saluted, the teacher smiled and nodded, and said in a caring tone:
"Comrade Ye Feng, although you are new to the Northwest, you are a young and strong man, and you are also a famous super agent of our army. With your physical fitness, I think you should be able to adapt to the climate conditions here, right?"
Ye Feng smiled innocently and replied, "Last night was the first time I had a good night's sleep since I left the Shanghai-Suzhou-Anhui area."
"As long as I can fall asleep!"
The gentleman took a deep breath and said with emotion, "Life in the base area is barely passable, but in areas across the country controlled by the Japanese, those people who are oppressed by the Japanese high-pressure policy, they really have a hard time sleeping. They are surrounded by enemies, butcher knives that may fall at any time, bullets that may fly from anywhere, and they don't know if they can live to see tomorrow."
"Comrade Ye Feng, our mission is arduous and long!"
"Only by defeating these Japanese invaders who committed murder, looting and all kinds of evil, and driving them away, and winning this national war, can our people live and work in peace and sleep peacefully!"
It can be seen that Mr. Sun's heart is filled with the entire China and millions of compatriots.
Ye Feng also understood that the reason why the master asked him to come over was most likely to inquire about the situation in the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui regions.
After all, it has always been difficult for the headquarters to take care of various military, political, economic, and livelihood issues in Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Anhui. It was Ye Feng, the highest military officer in charge of military affairs, who had to fight while coordinating and taking into account all of them.
Ye Feng was also secretly groaning!
Mainly after the recovery of Shanghai, they fought continuously. First, they sent troops to Jiangsu and recovered most of Jiangsu. Then they continued to send troops to Anhui. Finally, they joined forces with the Fourth Front Army to recover the whole Anhui.
During this period, Ye Feng was either fighting or on his way to fight.
Even in his free time, he would look at the map, study tactics, and formulate war strategies.
Because all the time is spent on fighting.
Therefore, Ye Feng handed over many other things to others, and he only took charge of the general directions.
For example.
The New Shenzhou Company established in Shanghai was founded by Ye Feng and the three major families in Shanghai. But what are the current businesses of the New Shenzhou Company? How big is its scale? How much assets does it have? How many employees does it have?
Ye Feng basically knew nothing about this.
What if the gentleman asks, how should I answer?
Perhaps seeing Ye Feng's nervous and embarrassed expression, the gentleman smiled and said jokingly to ease the atmosphere, "Comrade Ye Feng, you are still nervous? Do you know how outsiders call you? They all say that you are a super agent of the underground party, the killing god of Shenzhou, the nemesis of the Japanese, and the hero of China. Some even say that you have three heads and six arms and are invulnerable to swords and guns!"
"You've killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese. I don't believe that you, who have experienced countless battles, would be nervous when you come to me."
Ye Feng smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, thinking to himself, how can I not be nervous when facing you, the number one gentleman in China?
However, after hearing a few words from the gentleman, Ye Feng felt relieved and began to answer the questions one by one.
"The Japanese are short of troops now, and there are wars on several major fronts. The supply of troops is already stretched to the limit. We must seize this opportunity."
The gentleman continued:
"Comrade Ye Feng, as the military chief of the Shanghai-Jiangsu-Anhui region, you are the highest-ranking cadre commander. Tell me, how should the Shanghai-Jiangsu-Anhui region develop next?"
Ye Feng said, "Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui are surrounded by powerful enemies. In the north, south and east, a large number of Japanese divisions are eyeing them covetously. In the southwest, there are also unwilling mountain city troops waiting for the opportunity to reap the rewards."
"There are too few troops in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui right now. When I set out, I had already formulated a strategy to expand the army. The number of troops must be at least 12 to cope with the upcoming war situation."
"According to my idea, we will first capture Nanjing and recapture the entire Jiangsu province. By then, the Japanese will launch a large-scale military operation, and we will fight the enemy. After defeating the Japanese counterattack, we will use Nanjing as a bridgehead and continue to fight outward, mainly in the direction of the Central Plains."
The gentleman nodded and asked, "Why is it the Central Plains direction?"
Ye Feng said, "Recovering the Central Plains has three benefits. First, it will open up the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Shanghai-Suzhou-Anhui regions, allowing the armed forces of the two regions to unite and strengthen their strength. Second, once the Central Plains is recovered, it will be enough to cut the Japanese in half on the map, making it difficult for them to take care of the north and south. Third, the Central Plains has a flat terrain, which is suitable for the Japanese mechanized divisions to fight. Victory on the battlefield will allow us to seize countless supplies. As the enemy's strength decreases, the scales of victory will tilt towards our side."
"Eh!"
"It's not easy to fight in the Central Plains!"
The gentleman looked at the battle map hanging on the wall and said, "This is the Japanese transit station connecting the two battlefields in the north and south. They will definitely not give up an inch, and there will definitely be some small moves in the southwestern mountain city."
The Central Plains War has begun.
By then, the underground party will have to mobilize 80% or even more of all its forces in order to win.
Under such circumstances, the Shancheng side, which has long been ambitious, will definitely make a move in secret to trip up the enemy.
After all, the Central Plains has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. In the eyes of the old man in the mountain city, if I can't get this land, you underground party members will never get it either. I guess you will do everything you can to obstruct the plan to recover the Central Plains.
Ye Feng certainly understood that in order to cause sabotage and to prevent the underground party from recovering the Central Plains, the old man in Shancheng would most likely take this opportunity to send a large army to attack Anhui and Shanghai in an attempt to seize the fruits of victory.
The gentleman added, "When we attack the Central Plains, we will face too much defensive pressure. The Japanese will move north from Guangdong and Guangxi to attack Anhui, and will attack Jiangsu from Hubei and Shandong, and will gather warships to attack Shanghai. By then, the situation in the Shanghai-Jiangsu-Anhui region will be precarious."
The implication.
The Central Plains cannot be conquered, and Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui cannot be defended. In the end, we may lose both sesame seeds and watermelons.
Ye Feng said, "In order to speed up the process of ending the war, the Central Plains War must be fought."
The gentleman said, "I heard that you made a bold statement that within five years, you would not only drive out the Japanese invaders, but also defeat the diehards and establish a new China led by our underground party? Establish a new country where the people are the masters?"
Ye Feng said, "Yes, our land has been in ruins for hundreds of years, and has been shrouded in darkness for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, our people have suffered from hunger and cold, have no place to live, and have suffered all kinds of torture and hardship."
Over the past hundreds of years, the Chinese land has been invaded by foreign countries, ceded territory and paid indemnities, warlords have fought each other, and the people have lived in misery.
For generations, people have been struggling to survive in endless oppression and exploitation, on the brink of death through blood and tears.
The people's lives are too hard.
