Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 543 Trust

"You are going to the Yan'an headquarters. What are your plans and intentions for the military, economy, and livelihood issues in the Shanghai-Jiangsu-Anhui region?"

In the ward, Commander Ye continued:

"The current situation of the war between the enemy and us is very clear. In the Jin-Cha-Ji base area, we have been fighting fiercely with the Japanese devils for more than a month and have successively recovered many places. The Japanese are short of troops and are currently on the defensive."

"In the Wuhan battlefield, hundreds of thousands of troops in the mountain city were also attacking day and night, and the Japanese were also defending and did not take the initiative to attack."

"For our Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui regions, should we defend our current territory and grow stronger, or take the opportunity to recover the surrounding territories?"

In the ward, there were Ye Feng, Commander Ye, Political Commissar Chen, and General Su, who had an elegant temperament and a wise gaze.

General Su, or the meritorious Commander Su, was the commander of the 1st Division of the Fourth Front Army at that time. In terms of position, Ye Feng was at the same level as him, but Ye Feng was responsible for the military operations to recover Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui. As the military chief of these three regions, he had greater military power.

Ye Feng did not answer, but asked respectfully, "Commander Su, you are a senior and an outstanding military cadre of the party organization. Do you think we should defend our home or attack the city at this stage?"

Political Commissar Chen did not express his opinion. His important ability was to assist in the management of cadres and coordinate the leadership teams of various departments. Compared with Commander Su, his military ability was inferior.

Commander Su said, "I have thought about this issue for many days. I think we can send troops to take advantage of the Japanese shortage of troops and launch the Battle of Nanjing. If we can recapture Nanjing, we can expand to the surrounding areas with Nanjing as the center."

Ye Feng said, "Jinling is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. As descendants of the Chinese nation, we must indeed reclaim it."

Commander Ye said, "The Japanese have deployed tens of thousands of troops in Nanjing. Our army lacks experience in attacking cities!"

Yes.

Up to now, Ye Feng has led his troops to recapture Shanghai, Anhui and large areas of Jiangsu. In fact, they did not carry out any difficult siege battles. Many times, the Japanese did not defend the city at all, but rushed out to fight in the field, hoping to rely on their powerful weapons and equipment and firepower output to defeat Ye Feng and his anti-Japanese armed forces.

Ye Feng said, "If I join in, we can start from inside Jinling City, break through the surface with a single point, and create chaos. Then attacking the city may not be a problem."

Commander Ye said with difficulty, "I know your ability, but the city is in chaos, what will happen to the people of Jinling? Even if we can eventually defeat the Japanese in Jinling City, I don't know how many people will be implicated and killed!"

This is indeed a problem. Before this, Ye Feng rushed into Hubei and dared to start a war in Macheng, killing people everywhere.

The reason is very simple. There are very few civilians in Macheng, and it is almost like a Japanese military camp.

Political Commissar Chen, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was tall and had an air of authority without even getting angry, said, "We can mobilize the forces of our comrades hiding behind enemy lines in Jinling City to do some work to protect the people before the war begins. Of course, they will definitely be implicated, as there will definitely be casualties in a war."

Ye Feng asked, "Commander, how many troops do we have in the three regions of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui now?"

Hahaha!

General Ye laughed and said, "Comrade Ye Feng, how dare you ask that? You should know that you are the military leader appointed by the general manager of the Yan'an headquarters. You don't even know how many people are under your command. If the general manager knew about this, he would definitely scold you."

Political Commissar Chen and Division Commander Su also laughed. Ye Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I have been fighting the enemy for thousands of miles, which has delayed my time!"

Commander Ye said, "Regarding your reckless entry into Hubei to fight, and only bringing two special agent teams, the headquarters has also issued an order not to hold you accountable. You did the right thing in order to avenge our people."

Ye Feng couldn't help but feel relieved.

To be honest, when Ye Feng led two teams of agents to infiltrate Hubei, he also considered the consequences.

After all, this was a war of war, a life-and-death battle between countries, a war that concerned the survival of a country and a nation. The discipline of the party and the army must be above everything else, and no one can override them.

Ye Feng left the army and led a special agent team deep behind enemy lines, which was indeed a violation of discipline.

That is to say, in the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui regions, Ye Feng is the highest military commander appointed by the Party, so he dared to act so recklessly.

"We have already coordinated the issue of military strength."

"Shanghai currently has a division of 2 troops, but they are all newly recruited soldiers who have been trained for less than half a month. There are very few veterans. In addition, there is a newly built naval regiment."

"In Jiangsu, since Nanjing has not been recovered yet, we are only recruiting troops from major counties and towns. Currently, there are 1.5 troops."

"Here in Anhui, we have 2.5 troops. If we recruit new soldiers, we can quickly expand to 5."

"The problem of soldiers is easy to solve. Weapons, guns and ammunition are not in short supply. After all, we have won many battles in a row and captured a lot of spoils. However, there is a big gap in food and military pay."

"Especially food. As you know, there are wars in various regions. People are displaced and countless fields are abandoned. Moreover, many acres of land are still in the hands of the landlords."

"If we want to solve the food problem, it is best to fight against the powerful families and distribute the land so that the vast majority of the suffering people can get some of the land."

Ye Feng frowned. Their anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui were still too weak!

Only 6 people in total?

Moreover, about 70% of them are new recruits, and their combat effectiveness can be said to be negligible.

It is simply unrealistic to defend three provinces with such a small number of troops.

Expand the military.

The military must be greatly expanded.

After listening to Political Commissar Chen's words, Ye Feng asked, "What about the Yan'an headquarters? Are there any instructions?"

Political Commissar Chen said, "The general has spoken, saying that Comrade Ye Feng is not only a good fighter and can win battles, but will also be a good hand in the economy and people's livelihood. Let you make your own decision."

Uh!

Ye Feng also didn't expect that at this time, the bosses in Yan'an still trusted him so much?

That is why ah?

Ye Feng is not very old and belongs to the younger generation. Why do the bosses have such confidence in him?

As if seeing Ye Feng's doubts, Commander Ye explained:

"The reason is not complicated. It's just that you are too powerful. The dead end of Shanghai was turned around by you alone. Since you formed that team in Shanghai, have you won any battles?"

"You have won dozens or even hundreds of battles, big and small, every time, with the weak defeating the strong, and with the few defeating the many."

"If it weren't for you, our Chinese nation would be in danger of being destroyed and massacred!"

"Because you raised the party's flag from Shanghai and fought everywhere, you saved the decadent and corrupt situation. The current national anti-Japanese situation is much better than before, and countless people have seen the dawn of victory."

"So, you are a fierce general of the party organization, and also a lucky general of our China."

"Under this situation, do you think the leaders in Yan'an would not trust you?"
