    By the way, Li Guoyao had just returned to Wawashan when he received a notification from the Sulu Theater Headquarters!

    After reading it, Li Guoyao could only sigh. He knew that Chiang Kai-shek's severe punishment of the frontline officers this time was just to scare the monkeys. Some people were indeed punished, but the vast majority of them were just going through the motions and would soon be gone.  Officials were restored to their original posts, such as Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi, Fu Zhongfang and others.

    But even so, Li Guoyao still affirmed the decision of the Military Commission. At least using a murderous knife can definitely deter those half-hearted guys.

    But now that the Japanese army has captured Guinan, a new round of martial arts is about to begin!

    If nothing goes as expected, the Japanese army soon established the South China Front Army in southern Guangxi. The commander of the front army was Toshiyoshi Ando and was based in Nanning. The army directly administered the 18th, 38th, 104th, and 106th Divisions and the Independent Flying Team.  The 22nd Army was established, with former 18th Division Lieutenant General Nagana Seiichi as its commander, with jurisdiction over the 5th Division, Taiwan Mixed Brigade, and Guards Mixed Brigade.

    Although the main combat area of ??the South China Front is in South China and has little to do with the troops in North China, it will inevitably not affect the national game of chess.

    More importantly, during the period when the Battle of Southern Guangxi started, Li Guoyao's troops were very active. It can be expected that now that the battle on the Southern Front is over, the little devils can free up their hands to solve the problems on the Northern Front.  There is a problem, and the Shandong Guerrilla Corps will be the first to bear the brunt.

    Therefore, in the evening of the same day, Li Guoyao ordered people to notify the heads of all foreign troops except the southwestern Shandong base area to convene a high-level military meeting in Wawashan three days later. Unless there are special reasons, no one can ask for leave.

    Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, commanders of garrisons from various places arrived at the Wawashan headquarters one after another.

    At eight o'clock in the morning on December 18, the large conference room at the Wawashan headquarters was crowded. The long conference table was filled with military commanders on both sides. However, these officers looked a bit strange. Li Guoyao and others on the main seat were all  Lieutenant General uniform, but the officers below are a bit confusing. Some are major generals, some are majors, and some are still wearing ordinary soldier clothes, which look quite amateurish.

    After everyone arrived, Li Guoyao briefly reported on the troops' performance in southwest Shandong, and also summarized the troops' previous battles in Shanting and Jining.

    After finishing speaking, Li Guoyao said in a deep voice: "Brothers, the general situation is like this. Although our army achieved brilliant results in the previous battle, the losses were not small. The first column was basically wiped out, and the second column also suffered more than half of its casualties.  , so the main task of the army next is to rest and recover its strength! But for better development, the headquarters decided to disperse several main forces according to the divisions of the existing troops! "

    "First of all, the first column, as the starting force of our department, continued to stay in Xiong'er Mountain as a force directly under the headquarters, while the second column went south to northern Jiangsu and established the anti-Japanese base area in northern Jiangsu, with Xie Baojun as the commander-in-chief, Li Dingguo as the deputy commander, and Wu Baoguo as the  Chief of Staff! The Northern Jiangsu Anti-Japanese Base has four infantry brigades, one each for artillery, cavalry, engineering and guard troops."

    "At the same time, the Northern Anhui Anti-Japanese Base Area was established, Lu Wenlong was appointed as commander, and the commander of the cavalry column, Chen Jianzhong, was transferred to deputy commander. There are three infantry brigades under his command, and one unit for each of the other directly subordinate units."

    "Establish the Haizhou detachment, appoint Zhu Hong as the detachment leader, Fang Li as the deputy detachment leader, and have two infantry brigades and a special operations team under its command!"

    "Establish the Dabie Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area, appoint Huang Mazi as commander, and Lu Fengying as deputy commander and chief of staff. The establishment of the headquarters will be determined by the headquarters of the Dabie Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area and then reported to the headquarters for filing!"

    Li Guoyao's skillful operation stunned all the officers on the scene. If Li Guoyao's orders were followed, the Shandong Guerrilla Corps would be instantly upgraded from an anti-Japanese armed force with a huge territory to six branches.  large armed forces.

    More importantly, once the troops really do this, there will be more than 20 troops under the jurisdiction of the five major base areas of Xiong'er Mountain, Southwest Shandong, Northern Jiangsu, Northern Anhui, and Dabie Mountains plus the Haizhou detachment, even if they don't count those  The directly affiliated troops, including field infantry alone, numbered more than 30,000.

    You must know that in the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, whether it is the previous first column, second column or newly established unit, its technical arms account for one-third of the total strength.

    In other words, there are 30,000 field troops and at least 10,000 technical arms, or even more.

    ¡°This does not include the logistics personnel. If they are added together, the total strength of the army must be at least 50,000.

    Fifty thousand people, this is no joke, look at the entire country?The total strength of government military-level combat units is at most 20,000. This is the most elite central military unit of the national army. The average motley army only has about 15,000 troops.

    Fifty thousand people are equivalent to two and a half infantry armies directly affiliated with the Central Army and three miscellaneous units. Li Guoyao's courage to privately expand so many troops without the order of the Central Military Commission really frightened everyone!

    "Commander, we currently have less than 25,000 troops, including the new recruits. Is it too big a step to expand so many troops at once?" Xu Hu said in a deep voice.

    Wang Zhanhai said: "Whether the step is big or not is secondary. I am worried about whether our material reserves and officer reserves can adapt to such a large-scale expansion. Everyone knows that if weapons, equipment, food and ammunition cannot keep up, the expansion will not only  It will not enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, but will also significantly weaken the combat effectiveness of the troops. Once the Japanese army attacks at this time, the consequences will be disastrous!"

    "Yes, Commander, this plan is a bit too risky!"

    "Commander, please think twice before you act"

    Hearing everyone¡¯s concerns and objections, Li Guoyao was not angry, but stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet!

    Afterwards, Li Guoyao said in a deep voice: "I know everyone's worries, but we have to believe in ourselves. Even if we are unable to expand now, we still have to implement this plan. As for the reasons, there are three reasons!"

    "First of all, the military pressure we are facing now requires us to do this. This time our department and the 12th Army were locked in a deadly fight on the Shanting front line. In just a few days, one-third of our department suffered casualties. This shows that our department is  The overall combat capability still needs to be improved. At least it is not yet able to fight positional warfare and attrition warfare with the Japanese army with the same strength."

    "But due to the needs of fighting on the southern front, we and the Japanese army fought hard for two and a half months in southern Shandong and southwestern Shandong. Although we took advantage of it on the surface, it also aroused extreme fear among the Japanese. As you can imagine,  When the little devils free up their hands, they will definitely concentrate all their efforts on us, so before that we must expand our troops to the maximum extent and prepare for war, in order to be able to block the Japanese army's next crazy attack!"

    Hearing Li Guoyao's words, everyone nodded subconsciously, which was not difficult to understand.  Although the Shandong Guerrilla Corps is now affiliated with the Sulu Theater, in terms of reputation, the Sulu Theater is not ranked high at all.

    At this time, Li Guoyao said again: "Secondly, it is already the end of the 28th year of the Republic of China. According to Wang Ni's announcement a few months ago, he is preparing to take office in March or April next year. This is very important for the entire anti-war situation in China.  A huge test! We must prepare for a rainy day!"

    "The last point is that our troops are too concentrated. Before, our strength was weak and our influence could not be compared with now, so we could only fight in small battles around Xiong'er Mountain. Basically, all large-scale battles were carried out passively.  This is equivalent to putting eggs in one basket and is not conducive to the development of the army."

    "Now that our strength is strong, we should prepare in advance for future development. The establishment of several major bases is not only to attack the Japanese army, but also to disperse the main force, so that even if the Japanese and puppet troops concentrate all their strength to attack the Xiong'er Mountain base area  , we also have more room for strategic maneuvering!¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hu stood up and said: "The commander's analysis is based on the overall war situation. Strategically speaking, separation is indeed beneficial to the development of our department, but how should we explain it to the Military Commission?"

    "Explain? Why do you need to explain to the Military Commission? Guerrilla warfare is all about flexibility and change. The one we sent from the top didn't tell us our establishment numbers and didn't give us weapons and equipment. It was clear that we were asked to develop on our own. In this case, we don't need to  What should I tell Shangfeng?" Li Guoyao said calmly.

    "The commander is right, let's do it!" Xu Hu said.
