    Hearing everyone¡¯s doubts, Li Guoyao didn¡¯t say a word!

    Li Guoyao knew very well that what Wang Zhanhai and others said was not directed at him, but that the education they received and their own vision and understanding gave them a deep-rooted prejudice against the guerrillas, believing that the guerrillas were synonymous with unprofessionalism.  .

    In their opinion, no matter how powerful the guerrillas are, they are not as good as the regular army!

    But what they don¡¯t know is that not all guerrillas are non-professional and irregular field forces. The truly powerful guerrillas may be beyond everyone¡¯s imagination, such as Tito¡¯s guerrillas in Yugoslavia.

    " How powerful the Yugoslav guerrillas are, this may have exceeded everyone's understanding. This guerrilla not only has light weapons, but can even form its own tank unit, fighter unit, and heavy artillery unit. Its firepower is stronger than the regular armies of many countries.

    Historically, Germany invaded Yugoslavia, and then German and Italian troops occupied its entire territory.

    Facing the brutal enemy, many local people took up arms and joined the guerrillas to resist the invaders, and Tito and his comrades became the core of the resistance.

    In the winter of 1941, the First Partisan Brigade was established, kicking off the legendary story of Tito¡¯s guerrilla war.  The guerrillas then snowballed and opened up their own base.

    Tito¡¯s troops were very active in the countryside, especially in the mountains of Serbia and Bosnia, which posed a huge threat to the local German troops.

    Not only that, the Balkans are located in the heart of Southeast Europe and have a great influence on the Italian, Mediterranean and Greek theaters.

    For example, the German army¡¯s transportation lines to Greece were extensively attacked locally. Subsequently, the German army began to carry out multiple large-scale encirclement and suppression campaigns against Tito¡¯s guerrillas.

    The Southern guerrillas faced encirclement and suppression by four forces: the German army, the Italian army, the Chetniks and the Ustasha elements, of which the latter two were puppet troops after the fall.

    In addition to the troops from Germany, the German army also recruited troops composed of local Germans from the Balkans - the latter fought particularly brutally, and they knew the local customs and customs, so they were the formidable enemies of the guerrillas.

    However, the guerrillas tenaciously escaped from the enemy's encirclement and suppression many times, and were able to break through the enemy's blockade even after falling into siege. By 1943, the southern guerrillas had established a huge base area of ??60,000 square kilometers in the Bosnian mountains.

    After Italy surrendered in the summer of 1943, the Southern guerrillas immediately seized the opportunity to develop towards the coastal areas and captured many ports and important places.

    They even obtained the first batch of tanks, heavy artillery and other heavy weapons by receiving supplies from the Italian army.

    It is worth noting that many Italian soldiers chose to join the guerrillas to fight against Germany.  Moreover, this group of people performed heroically in subsequent battles, which was completely different from the performance of ordinary Italian troops.

    Because of the importance they attach to the Balkans, Soviet Russia and the British and American allies hope to win over the guerrillas to gain local support and advantages after the war.

    Because we have obtained the port, British and American aid can reach the hands of Tito's team relatively smoothly.  In 1944, the southern guerrillas' basic regiments and regional troops totaled 900,000 troops.  It has been organized into 30 guerrilla divisions and more brigades, regiments, teams, etc., and is active throughout the Balkans - especially in the mountains.

    The Southern guerrillas formed several tank battalions and several combat flight regiments. The elite troops even had firepower that exceeded that of the regular German army.  The guerrillas even organized multiple large-scale offensives with tank cover and air force support in 1944, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.

    In the autumn of 1944, the Soviet army had invaded the Balkans.  Tito called on the guerrilla fighters to launch a decisive battle against the invaders and win the final victory!  Yugoslavia eventually became the only Eastern and Southeast European country to be liberated on its own strength.

    Tito could build a super guerrilla force under the huge pressure of the German army, and Li Guoyao believed that he could too. This was also a small goal that Li Guoyao set for himself before heading north to Shandong.

    Compared with Yugoslavia a few years later, although China's current situation is equally difficult, it is still better, because after all, the Japanese army is different from the German army. When the German army attacked Yugoslavia, the total strength was as high as seven to eight million people.  Although the Little Devils have been continuously expanding their troops, their total strength is only one million people, which is not at the same level as the German army.

    Secondly, the Japanese army is far inferior to Germany in terms of weapons and equipment, especially in terms of mobility, which is even worse.

    Also, China¡¯s geographical environment is not comparable to that of Yugoslavia, which is a small country. Even a small Shandong in ChinaThere is also huge strategic depth, and the Shandong area is still full of high mountains and dense forests, which is very suitable for guerrilla warfare.

    What¡¯s more important is that there is a real success story in China - the Eighth Route Army!

    When the Eighth Route Army accepted the reorganization, its total strength was only more than 50,000, including 15,000 for the 119th Division, 14,000 for the 120th Division, and 13,000 for the 129th Division. The logistics equipment was about 9,000 people, while the New Fourth Army only had more than 9,000 people in the early days of its establishment.

    But in just nine years from 1937 to 1946, when Yan'an reorganized the Eighth Route Army, New Fourth Army, and Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance into the People's Liberation Army, the Field Army alone had 24 columns and divisions equivalent to columns, totaling more than 610,000 people.

    In addition, there are 34 third-level military regions and 113 military divisions, plus 51 independent brigades (divisions) or garrison brigades, and 5 cavalry divisions (brigades). Together with the rear-line agencies, there are more than 660,000 people.  , a total of more than 1.27 million people.

    In terms of technical arms, the Eighth Route Army did not have many technical arms when it was first established, only a small number of artillery and cavalry.

    But in 1946, in terms of artillery, the Eighth Route Army had 14 regiments, 17 battalions and 38 companies in the column-level artillery; the engineering corps had a small number of companies and platoons; the armored corps had a tank brigade in the northeast with 20 tanks of various types.  , a total of 40 armored vehicles, cars and tractors.

    With the Eighth Route Army as a living example, Li Guoyao believed that he would be able to accomplish his small goal of being a super guerrilla, not to mention that he was still cheating.

    Of course, Li Guoyao could only keep these words to himself and could not tell others. After all, they were too shocking.

    Back to the topic, this meeting lasted for most of a day. First, it was determined to adjust the unit number, and decided to cancel the detachment (regiment) level organization and adopt a more flexible organization for operations.

    Secondly, the idea of ??establishing a base area in southwestern Shandong was discussed. According to Li Guoyao's idea, the troops centered on Weishan Lake and Xiong'er Mountain to form a large base area covering Zaozhuang, Xuzhou, Heze, and Linyi.

    The plan to establish the base area has been formulated, and attacking Zaozhuang is an important opportunity!

    "However, since Li Guoyao thought of cooperating with Yu Xuezhong's headquarters at the last moment, many things have not been perfected, and no specific combat plan was formulated at the meeting.

    Fortunately, the Sulu War Zone will not take action within a day or two, and they still have time to perfect the plan.

    But before the war started, Li Guoyao felt it was necessary to have a good communication with his partners, because only by unifying their thoughts can everyone think in one place and work hard in the same place.

    Moreover, if he wanted to achieve the "small goal" of the "super guerrillas", he could not do it by himself. He had to get the support of Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai, Ma Desheng and others. Therefore, after the meeting, Li Guoyao directly retained these three people.  down.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
