After convincing everyone, what awaits Gao Dong is a more severe deployment.The vast grassland, boundless, the terrain here seems simple, but in fact it is very complicated.It's the same everywhere you look, but without the help of satellites and radar, even a large army lurking a kilometer away is difficult to detect.The enemy had 100,000 troops in a fortress a thousand kilometers away, and had been operating in that area for a long time.Not only did they have the advantage of geographical advantages, but they also controlled a large number of Mongolian nobles who depended on them.If the enemy knew about Gaodong's plan, then simply letting the Mongol nobles who were attached to them constantly harass them by force on the way of the PLA's advance could cause heavy losses to the main forces of the PLA.If the Mongol cavalry, who were familiar with the terrain, had attacked their logistical supply lines in Gaodong, the entire force that had penetrated deep into the steppe would have suffered extremely heavy losses.There are many problems to be solved in Gaodong, first of all, it is necessary to ensure that sufficient logistics supply lines can replenish the consumed ammunition and supplies at any time.Then it is necessary to ensure that this supply line is not destroyed by the Japanese or the lackeys of the devils, so that it can be invincible.In ancient times, there were three armies who did not move grain and grass first.If the logistical supply line is cut off, even if the soldiers are brave, they will inevitably fail.The soldiers must not engage the enemy without bullets and without a full stomach, and when the army is unstable, the attack planned by Gao Dong will become a futile move to waste money and money, and there may be a possibility that the whole army will be annihilated.In this way, it will only fuel the arrogance of the Japanese.Not only will it fail to drive away the Japanese, but it will also make the Japanese more popular in the grassland.The Mongols, who advocate force, will inevitably think that the Japanese are much stronger than the PLA, and those lackeys will be even more determined to follow the Japanese.Gao Dong immediately sent a telegram to the PLA Commander's Headquarters in Xi'an, reporting all his ideas and plans for this operation to the head of the headquarters.Without the support of the headquarters, his battle plan would have been completely ruined.The moment he received Gao Dong's telegram, the commander-in-chief personally convened an emergency military meeting, which was presided over by Commander-in-Chief Zhu to collectively discuss the feasibility of Gao Dong's battle plan.Fortunately, Gao Dong explained in detail in the telegram he sent, including how he was preparing to attack, how to set up a logistics supply station, how to deliver supplies, etc., all in detail.The high-level leaders at the meeting studied the plan put forward by Gao Dong, after all, this was a very important operation, and the heads of the headquarters attached great importance to it.After a full two-hour meeting and careful study, the headquarters who were proficient in tactics affirmed Gao Dong's plan.Although Gao Dong's plan is dangerous, there are many uncertainties.But Gao Dong's plan is step-by-step and thoughtful, and it is also the best combat plan against the devils on the grassland.As a senior leader, the commander-in-chief, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and other members of the committee are deeply aware of the importance of Mongolia.If the Mongol cavalry had fought under Japanese control, the Shanxi battlefield could have faced great disaster.Therefore, even if the army is dangerous, everyone agrees that first of all, get rid of the Mongolian devils, appease the Mongols there, remove the minions of the Central China Army, and completely turn them into singles.The commander-in-chief personally sent a telegram to Gao Dong, appointing him as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army attacking the grassland, and urgently dispatched the newly formed Fourth Army in the Central Plains Theater to go deep into the grassland to assist Gao Dong in this combat mission.All other conditions put forward by Gao Dong are all allowed.The commander-in-chief only noted one point at the end, that is, the battle must be won, and there must be no defeat.He also emphasized that the Mongol compatriots must be treated well, and there must be no killing, even if the captives are treated preferentially.A day later, Gao Dong received a telegram and immediately smiled.With the support of the top level of the PLA, he has a 70 percent certainty of this operation.The remaining three achievements cannot be decided by manpower, it depends on the time.The first thing Gao Dong had to do was to set up an airfield in the same place, and then build a supply depot near the airport, and send troops to garrison it.This was a huge project, and Gao Dong immediately sent a telegram to Huang Youde in Shanxi, asking him to contact the local political comrades for help, requesting that a large number of migrant workers be sent into the grassland to assist them in jointly building an airport and a supply station.After Huang Youde received the telegram, he immediately went to the governor of Shanxi, and the governor took the lead in convening a meeting of all the local cadres around Taiyuan.Before Gao Dong's telegram arrived, both the provincial governor and Huang Youde received instructions from the highest levels in Xi'an, asking them to fully assist Gao Dong in this plan, and no matter what Gao Dong wanted, they must do their best to meet them.At the meeting, the provincial governor didn't say much nonsense, he was originally a soldier, but he was blown off a hand by a devil's cannon on the battlefield, and then he became a political cadre.He shouted at the cadres under his command at the top of his voice, telling them to immediately mobilize the surrounding people, offer reasonable wages to the people as a guarantee, and promise the people that they would have food and shelter, and immediately mobilize more than 50,000 migrant workers to the grasslands to assist the troops in building airfields and supply depots.After the meeting, all the cadres immediately returned to their stations, whether in the city or in the villages and alleys, everywhere was full of gongs and drums.Local cadres shouted at the top of their voices, conveying the news of the need for migrant workers to all directions.In just one day, more than 80,000 people in the vicinity of Taiyuan signed up to participate.As soon as everyone heard that they were going to build a base on the grassland to fight devils, they were all excited and geared up, and the local cadres also promised to give corresponding remuneration and solve the problem of food and housing.The people of Shanxi have been used as slaves by devils for many years, and finally there is a time when they can be angry in person, and they still have money and food and drink, and everyone is willing to go to the grassland to contribute.Even many people refuse to even ask for wages, they just want to contribute to the fight against devils.After the People's Liberation Army came to Shanxi, it did a lot of good things, fighting local tyrants and inferior gentry, and killing many bullies in the township.In addition, all the land in the hands of the landlords was confiscated, and it was distributed to the common people free of charge, and it was promised that no taxes would be collected within three years.This is tantamount to sending charcoal to the people in the painful days, and the people will naturally actively support it.A day later, a huge procession of migrant workers marched towards the grassland.Although the team was majestic, all this was carried out in secret according to Gao Dong's requirements, hiding from the eyes and ears of the Japanese.All the teams traveled at night and slept during the day.There are also many convoys of vehicles and materials that travel day and night.All this is done to paralyze the enemy and keep him in the dark and unable to launch an attack on the PLA.If the enemy knew about Gao Dong's plan in advance, it was very likely that they would launch a sneak attack on the base under construction, and the Mongolian devils would also increase their defense, and the future battle would be very difficult to fight.A week later, nearly 100,000 migrant workers went deep into the hinterland of the grassland and arrived at the PLA station.Gao Dong immediately appointed relevant personnel to supervise the work, first to build the workshop where the migrant workers lived, and then to start building the airport and supply depot.Gao Dong's plan was a huge project, not only to build an airfield and a supply depot, but to build a military station on this grassland.Sending troops and supplies to the front line anytime and anywhere, and at the same time serving as an important strategic support point.The grassland was dusty for a while, and the migrant workers were very busy.Everyone knows what they're doing, and they know they're doing their part to fight devils.Workers even spontaneously worked overtime to build airfields and supply depots overnight.Some workers did not want to go back after working on the construction site for more than ten hours, they only hoped that everything here would be built as soon as possible, and then the troops could use here to kill all the little devils who invaded China.Every night, a large number of convoys drove from Shanxi to the grasslands, unloaded a large amount of supplies, and then left.The supplies sent included the daily necessities of so many people, as well as a large amount of building materials.Almost the entire liberated area was involved, and all kinds of supplies were quickly transported from different provinces to the grasslands.This is a battle of strength, and if you want to recover the grassland, you must not only rely on force, but also have strong strength.Gao Dong wants to use this step-by-step attitude to completely incorporate the grassland into China's territory, and also to make the devils who invade here completely desperate.The project, which was originally planned to take two months, was completed in half a month thanks to the efforts of the majority of migrant workers.A brand-new airfield suddenly appeared on the grassland, and barracks and supply depots rose from the ground, suddenly appearing on the grassland like a city.Gao Dong immediately set about dispatching planes to the airport, and at the same time asked Shanxi and Shandong to urgently send a large amount of ammunition and supplies to this newly built base, so as to completely build this place into the first logistics supply station of the People's Liberation Army in the grassland.Everything is going on in an orderly manner, although the base has been built, there are still many details that need to be improved, the overall look is still very rough, and some safety hazards have not been solved.In less than half a month, this base will not be put into use.But this already means that the PLA has gained a foothold in the steppe, and from here it is possible to show their strength to the entire steppe.The Fourth Army was still on its way, and because it wanted to keep it secret, it did not dispatch the nearest Second Army or the First Army, but transferred the Fourth Army from Anhui.They are also nocturnal, so they arrive slowly.There is still half a month to go, and Gao Dong has some idleness.But it immediately occurred to him that there were some things that had to be solved and had to be done immediately, otherwise there would still be a lot of trouble on the way to the army in the future.Gao Dong found Batu, and when they first met, he smiled and said: "You have been here with me for almost half a month, shouldn't your subordinates miss you" As soon as he heard Gao Dong's words, Batu immediately understood, nodded and said: "What does the chief mean, go and gather them all" Gao Dong smiled and said: "You are a smart person, I don't need to say more superfluous words." ”Batu smiled: "Then you can rest assured, 20,000 cavalry plus my tribe, a lot of generals will all come here, waiting for your dispatch" "Then let's go" Gao Dong patted him on the shoulder, and there was a sharp glint in his eyes: "I still need your cavalry, help me do something big" aa2705221:
