    After listening to Li Guoyao's entire expansion plan, Xu Hu said with a little worry: "Master, we used to only have three brigades and six regiments, but now we are going to expand to 14 regiments. Isn't it a bit fast?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Desheng also said: "Yes, Master. In fact, considering our current situation, it is already very good that we can maintain a scale of fifteen thousand people. Thirty thousand people is indeed a bit too much!"

    However, before Li Guoyao could speak, Wang Zhanhai on the side said: "Actually, I don't have any opinion on how many people to expand. It would be better if it could be expanded to 100,000 people. But the problem is that the expansion of the army is not empty talk. What is needed is personnel."  And weapons and equipment, as well as enough food and wages to supply the troops, we don¡¯t seem to have the strength!¡±

    "One hundred thousand people? You, Old Wang, dare to think that if these words reach the ears of Shangfeng, our seventh division will not be treated as a typical example!" Xu Hu said with a frown.

    However, Wang Zhanhai said disapprovingly: "Old Xu, you are from the Hunan Army. The Hunan Army has accepted the command of the Central Committee very early and belongs to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's semi-direct lineage, so it has not suffered from the shortage of troops! But our Northeast Army is different.  Since entering the Pass, our Northeastern Army has become rootless duckweeds. We will fight whoever the superiors ask us to fight, and we will fight wherever we are told!"

    "We fought the Red Army, fought bandits, and fought bloody battles with the Japanese. We suffered heavy casualties at the end of each battle, but there were few reinforcements on the summit, so the Northeast Army fought less and less. So we developed a habit,  No matter when, we will not refuse as long as we can recruit people into the army. As long as it is allowed, then there is no problem with a regiment of 10,000 people, as long as you can afford it!"

    Hearing Wang Zhanhai¡¯s words, everyone was silent. Even if you have not experienced some things, you have heard of them. What happened to the Northeast Army is indeed regrettable.

    Li Guoyao immediately stood up and said: "I know everyone's concerns. The pace of troop expansion is indeed a bit too big, but this is also forced by the situation. We can't do it without expanding!"

    "Why Master?"

    "Because we have been roasted on the fire. In the last battle, we wiped out a second-class division of the Little Japs. Do you think the Little Japs will still treat us as ordinary miscellaneous divisions?"

    Without waiting for everyone to answer, Li Guoyao continued: "No, if they still treat us as ordinary ragtag teachers, then they are not Japanese devils. You must know that what the Japanese are best at is analysis and learning. They  I will not underestimate any opponent, nor do I intend to suffer losses twice at the hands of the same opponent!"

    ¡°Not only will the Japs not use us as ordinary troops, the Military Commission and the Theater Command will also not use us as ordinary troops. Otherwise, they would not think of letting us, the Seventh Division, be alone and defend Bengbu!¡±

    "Under such circumstances, if we want to maintain a strong battle order and maintain an invincible spirit, we must use unimaginable combat effectiveness. We must exceed the enemy's estimate of our military's strength time and time again.  Therefore, expansion is imperative!¡±

    "What about the weapons, equipment, personnel and food and wages?" Xu Hu said.

    "Of course we need to recruit personnel. We originally had nearly 15,000 people, and I asked for another 5,500 from the War Zone Commander's Department. There are still six security groups in Bengbu. It is said that we can also recruit 6,700 people.  , which adds up to 26,700. And we only need to recruit another four to five thousand people from Bengbu and its surrounding areas to solve the problem of personnel."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "As for weapons and equipment, we seized a lot in this battle. The Military Commission also replenished us with thousands of new guns, and the weapons and equipment for the thousands of people I brought back were basically solved, so the weapons and equipment  The gap is not big. No matter how much is left, leave it to me! But the food and salary is really a bit troublesome!"

    "Yes, Master, the army has been expanded by so many people all of a sudden, and the food and salary requirements are astronomical, and our logistics can't keep up at all!" Logistics Minister Huang Shangdao.

    "We are not short of money. Moreover, the military commission for the vast majority of soldiers is still borne by the Military Commission. We only need to bear the part of the expanded soldiers. But food is a big problem. Now is the time when there is a shortage of food. Even if it is  It¡¯s hard to buy food even if you have money!¡± Li Guoyao said.

    "Master, if it's just food, we don't have a big problem!" Huang Shang suddenly said.

    "Oh, didn't you just say that food and wages are a big problem?" Zhou Weiguo asked with a frown.

    "My subordinates are mainly referring to money. As for food, we have previously seized a large amount of food prepared by the Japanese army in Quanjiao to attack Hefei. It is estimated that it will be enough to feed our 20,000 to 30,000 people for two months." Huang ?Tao.

    "So many?" Li Guoyao said in surprise.

    "Including the previous inventory, if our division has 30,000 people, we won't have to worry about food for at least three months. And after three months, the summer food will have arrived, and then we won't have to worry about food!"

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Well, since soldiers, weapons and equipment, and food and salary are not problems, we will start expanding immediately."

    "Master, please give the order!" Xu Hu said.

    "Master, we all obey you, give the order!" Wang Zhanhai said.

    Li Guoyao thought for a while, then stood up and said: "We can wait until Bengbu to discuss the expansion. The most important thing now is to rush to Bengbu immediately to hand over the defense area with the 31st Army!"

    "yes!"

    "Order: As the vanguard of the division, the Duba Brigade will rush to Bengbu at two o'clock in the afternoon to take over the defense of Bengbu City and wait for the arrival of the main force!"

    "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

    "Order: The Dujiu Brigade and the troops directly under the division are responsible for loading all the materials in Quanjiao City into trucks, and then transporting them to Bengbu. Remember, take away everything you can. It is basically impossible for Quanjiao City to leave this time.  Will come back again!" Li Guoyao said.

    "yes!"

    "Order: The 15th Independent Brigade will stay and take over the defense area with the 192nd Division, and finally evacuate!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

    Following Li Guoyao's order, all the national troops in Quanjiao City were mobilized.

    At two o'clock in the afternoon, the main force of the Duba Brigade left the city and rushed to Bengbu.

    After waiting for two hours, the Dujiu Brigade and the troops directly under the division followed closely, escorting a large amount of food and equipment to Bengbu.

    At nine o'clock in the evening, after the 192nd Division took over the defense, the remaining 15th Independent Brigade also headed north towards Bengbu.

    ?¡­ dividing line¡­ dividing line¡­.

    When Li Guoyao passed by Xifengtou, he specifically ordered the large troops to go first, and he led the special forces directly to Xifengtou.

    When they arrived at Xifengtou, Lu Wenlong, Jiang Feng and others, who had already received the order, were already waiting for him at the foot of Xifengtou Mountain. Then, accompanied by Lu Wenlong and others, they went up to Xifengtou.

    As the most complete training base of the Seventh Division, Xifenggantou has now become more impressive, and some of the original defense loopholes have been filled up.

    And there are light and dark sentries everywhere from the foot of the mountain. Li Guoyao even discovered a large number of semi-basement cement bunkers on the mountain road. Once a strong enemy comes along the steps, these bunkers will be of great use.

    Although there is still only one road going up the mountain as before, this mountain road has been forcibly widened to about five meters. Although cars cannot drive yet, carriages can go on it.

    In addition, the soldiers also built a large number of wooden houses on the mountain, countless densely packed, which obviously solved the housing problem.

    "Wenlong, how many people are there on the mountain now?" Li Guoyao asked attentively.

    Lu Wenlong thought for a while and said: "Not many, there are less than 3,000 people in Xifentou! There are about 2,000 troops receiving training, and the rest are all workers."

    "Why are there so few people?" Li Guoyao asked in a deep voice.

    "Actually, there are quite a few. We still have more than 2,000 people stationed at the Cishan base in front, a thousand people living in Xigu Mountain, and about 15 companies with more than 1,800 people dispersed to nearby  According to various calculations in various towns and villages, the total strength of our guerrillas has exceeded 8,000, which is more than 3,000 more than when we were fighting!" Lu Wenlong replied.

    "Well, it's indeed a lot, but it's not enough for you to remember! While the little devil's attention is still on the Seventh Division, you need to seize the time to develop, do you understand?"

    "clear!"

    "Well, I want to take away some of the weapons and equipment you seized from Baima Gang, mainly some heavy weapons, and I will leave the rest to you!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Master, how long do we have to remain anonymous? When can we return to the army?" Lu Wenlong asked.

    "Why are you anxious? You can develop with peace of mind and recruit more troops. When I need you, I hope you can bring more than a dozen regiments of troops at once, so that I will not be in vain to divide my troops!" Li Guoyao said.

    "yes!"

    ¡°Then Li Guoyao told them what happened during this period, and then left West Wind Head!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
