    After the main generals of each army left, only four people, Li Guoyao, Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai and Ma Desheng, were left in the huge cave, which seemed a bit empty.

    In addition, the temperature in Shandong in March is still relatively low, and there is no fire in the cave, making it even colder.

    Li Guoyao looked at Xu Hu and others, and then said: "We haven't had a good chat for a while, so let's sit down for a while while we still have some time today!"

    "Yes, since Lao Wang led the wounded soldiers to Zhengzhou to recuperate after the Battle of Guide, the few of us have not been together." Xu Hu said.

    Wang Zhanhai smiled and said, "Now aren't we together again?"

    Ma Desheng sighed and said: "I'm afraid this gathering is also short-lived. After all, we are fighting guerrillas behind enemy lines. The troops cannot be stationed as concentrated as before. They will definitely be dispersed to various places. At that time, the few of us may take charge of our own affairs.  We are busy with a lot of things, and if there is no important matter, we rarely have the chance to meet!"

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Lao Ma is right, I left you here just to talk to you about my ideas for the future development of the army!"

    Hearing Li Guoyao's words, Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai and others all calmed down their expressions and became very serious and focused.

    Li Guoyao said immediately: "Although our army has restored some strength now, if calculated fully, the total strength of our army, including the Jiangnan guerrillas and the people from Huanghuazhai, is less than 18,000, which is equivalent to  It¡¯s just a third-class division of the little devil. What¡¯s more, there are many troops that cannot be used for the time being, and the number of troops that can really be used by us is only about 10,000. "

    "Looking at our enemies, the Japs currently have more than 40 field divisions and nearly 20 independent mixed brigades. In Shandong alone, there are three divisions plus two mixed brigades. We want to  To gain a foothold in Shandong and achieve victory, we must expand our military and prepare for war. To this end, I have had an idea during this period to form our army into a real super guerrilla!"

    "Super guerrillas?"

    Li Guoyao said again: "Yes, now I have two columns and a guerrilla force under my command. Each column has a total strength of about 3,000 people. I have decided to form a hundred such columns, and in addition to form 5 artillery brigades,  10 cavalry brigades and 5 engineer brigades!¡±

    Wang Zhanhai said with some surprise: "Commander, one hundred columns are 300,000 people, and the technical arms of 20 brigades are more than 10,000 people. Plus the soldiers from the logistics and intelligence departments, if this plan is really completed,  If so, then our total military strength will reach 350,000 or even 400,000. Is this really okay?"

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Of course, there are three prerequisites for expanding the army. First, there must be sufficient sources of troops, secondly, there must be weapons and equipment, and finally, the army must have the ability to feed so many people!"

    "Let's talk about the issue of troop sources first. Our troops are backed by the four provinces of Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, and Anhui. They are all large and densely populated provinces. The most indispensable thing is population. Moreover, these provinces have been invaded by the little devils. The common people  Living in dire straits, the enthusiasm for revolution is very high. As long as we raise our arms, there will definitely be no shortage of qualified soldiers."

    "As for weapons and equipment, we are not lacking. Let's not talk about the issue of seizures. We have our own arsenals in central Anhui and Chongqing and other places in the rear. Although it is not enough to arm 300,000 people, I plan to establish it after the base area is established.  We will build more and larger arsenals and try our best to be self-sufficient in weapons and equipment. What's more, the entire military expansion plan needs to be prepared in three phases. The number of expanded troops in the first phase is only 30,000, so the pressure is not great."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "As for the issue of how to support the troops after they are expanded, it is not a big deal. We are now fighting behind enemy lines. Obviously, it is impossible to be stationed as concentrated as before. It is necessary to divide the troops and develop them. By then, these troops will be integrated into  Zero develops in the form of a small army. As long as one county can support a thousand people, our army can survive and develop even more."

    Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, Xu Hu and others nodded.

    They now understand that it is not that Li Guoyao will directly expand from 10,000 people to 300,000 people, but that he will develop slowly in several steps. This is feasible!

    "Commander, what should we do now?" Ma Desheng asked.

    "The Sulu Theater's attack on Yinan will be an opportunity for us. As long as the Sulu Theater attacks Yinan, it will definitely attract the attention of the 12th Army Headquarters and the old devil Wei Gaogui Zang. By then, Zaozhuang will be near  The Japanese soldiers will inevitably be transferred to the southern area to participate in the operation to encircle and suppress the Sulu theater. By then, the area near Zaozhuang will??The Japanese defense force will be greatly reduced. As long as we seize the opportunity, we will definitely be able to capture Zaozhuang!  "

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "As long as we capture Zaozhuang, we can take advantage of the situation to capture all the Japanese-controlled mining areas outside Zaozhuang and rescue those miners. In this way, we will have the first batch of soldiers needed for expansion.  ¡±

    "Besides, Zaozhuang is a transportation hub and an important military town. The little devils have hoarded a lot of supplies in the city. If we take Zaozhuang, we can at least get the army's rations for more than half a year. And the summer food will be available in three and a half months, and the army will not  I no longer have to worry about food, which is one of the reasons why I insist on attacking Zaozhuang."

    "I'm not worried about Zaozhuang, but I'm a little worried about how it will end!" Xu Hu said in a deep voice.

    "Are you worried that the Japs will mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress us?" Li Guoyao said.

    "Well, I have heard about Otaka Kamezo, the commander of the 12th Japanese Army in Shandong. I heard that he is a guy who never suffers losses. Once we capture Zaozhuang City, the old Japanese will definitely go crazy. And now we have only one chance to make full plans.  There are only ten thousand people, it is difficult to cope with the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japs!" Xu Hu said.

    However, Li Guoyao smiled and said: "I know Ogao Kamezo better than you do. This guy is the commander of the 19th Division of the Korean Army. This guy has a pure warrior type character. He is bold and decisive, even a little reckless, and he never  I look down on the Chinese people from the bottom of my heart.¡±

    "Once we take Zaozhuang, this guy will definitely be stimulated and go crazy, and he will definitely gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress him. But it doesn't matter, as long as the little devils dare to come, I will have a way to make them lose their wings in Southwest China."

    "Since the commander is so confident, we don't need to say more. Let's talk about how to attack Zaozhuang City. This is the top priority right now!" Ma Desheng said.

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Zaozhuang is different from other towns. Although our troops are not inferior to the defenders of Zaozhuang in strength, Zaozhuang is too close to Xuzhou and Linyi. It takes less than an hour and a half to get from Xuzhou to Zaozhuang by train.  , once Zaozhuang is attacked, the Japanese soldiers from Xuzhou will arrive quickly, and it is impossible to capture Zaozhuang within an hour."

    "So my plan is to mobilize the enemy to the maximum extent and make the enemy exhausted. Attacking Yinan in the Sulu theater is an opportunity, but at the same time we must create opportunities ourselves."

    "How to create it?" Ma Desheng asked in a deep voice.

    "Zaozhuang is a regional central city, surrounded by towns such as Xuecheng, Weishan, Yixian, Shanting, and Tengxian. My idea is to send small troops to attack these places before the war begins. As soon as the war begins in these places  , the Japs in Zaozhuang will definitely reinforce, and then we will take the opportunity to attack Zaozhuang. If possible, I will let the special forces completely destroy the enemy's headquarters."

    Li Guoyao then continued: "At the same time, we also need to carry out raids on the enemy, send troops with strong mobile capabilities to destroy the railway bridges of the Japs' transportation routes, slow down the Japs' movement south and north, and support the operations in the Zaozhuang area!"

    "Well, I think it works!"

    ¡°Then let¡¯s do it!¡±

    "I agree, let's do it!"
