The gate of the Bashitu tribe was opened, and the patriarch Udol personally led his troops out of the village to surrender.Udol held his hands high, he had been so embarrassed for the first time in his life.He did not dare to look up at the winner, and lowered his head like a defeated dog.Gao Dong has no interest in paying attention to the prince left over from this old era, even if there are no Japanese, Gao Dong will sooner or later lead the tribes that attack these old forces.These princes still retained primitive slavery, and the herdsmen living in their tribes had no rights at all.The power of life and death like Udol is all in his hands, and he is the emperor in the Bashi Tubu and does whatever he wants.For Gao Dong, a modern person who comes from the future and advocates equality for all.Udor's old stubbornness should have been thrown into the museum a long time ago.His existence will only make the grassland more backward and will never be developed."
All herdsmen are treated preferentially, and the army is not allowed to enter the stockade.The soldiers were disarmed, leaving them with only sabers.All the nobles of the Ba Shi Tu tribe were taken away, and from this day on, there is no Ba Shi Tu tribe, and the herdsmen here can live freely. ”Gao Dong shouted coldly."
Yes" Immediately a group of soldiers rushed to the front, escorting the bitter-faced Udol away.At the same time, the nobles and officers of the Bashitu tribe were also taken away.They will be sent to the rear to be examined, and if they are the most heinous people, I am afraid that they will not be free in this life.It solved the threat of the Ba Shi Tu Division, and at the same time deterred all the forces on the grassland that dared to oppose the PLA.Gao Dong's purpose had been accomplished, and after admonishing the herdsmen of the Bashitu Division, he immediately marched to the newly built base on the grassland with the army.All the Kachin tribesmen marched with them, and Batu had given the order that there would be no Kachin from now on, and that all the Kachin people would move to the area around the newly built base and make it their new home.Batu's efforts to please Gao Dong were very satisfied, this guy was very cooperative and saved Gao Dong a lot of trouble.Kachin was all transferred to the newly built base, which contributed to the construction there.At the same time, the cattle and sheep of the Kachin Department can also provide a large number of daily necessities for the base, which can be described as a win-win decision.Five days later, Gao Dong returned to the newly built base with his troops and a large number of herdsmen.At this point, the final finishing touches on the base have been completed.The airfield was ready for operation, and the Fourth Army had arrived two days before Gao Dong's return, and all of them were stationed outside the base, waiting for Gao Dong's dispatch at any time.Gao Dong asked the Kachin tribesmen to settle themselves near the base, and then hurried to the front-line combat headquarters in the base.Gao Dong immediately ordered the communications department to send a telegram to the PLA headquarters in Xi'an, requesting the air force to send transport planes to the grassland immediately.A day later, sixty bombers carrying a large amount of supplies landed in the airfield at the steppe base.From this day onwards, there will be at least four takeoffs and landings at the airport every day.A large number of material resources were continuously transported from the inland to the base on the vast grassland, and at the same time, there was no idleness on the land route, rows of trucks transporting weapons, ammunition and a large number of daily necessities, all flocking to this newly built base on the grassland.Shanxi's road to the grassland suddenly became lively, with the roar of car engines from morning to night, and the night illuminated by the headlights of cars, which seemed to never end.After a week of urgent deliveries, all the warehouses at the base of the steppe were filled.The sixty bombers were always parked at the airfield, and their cabins had all been emptied and temporarily flooded in for cargo planes.All of these 60 bombers were independently developed by an aircraft factory in Shandong, and the designers used a complete set of aircraft production lines originating in Germany, and it took more than a year for the first batch of bombers to be officially launched.But before these bombers had time to practice their performance on the battlefield, they were immediately transformed into cargo planes.There is no way to do this, the aircraft manufacturing industry has just started, and the resources in the liberated areas are very limited, so it is already the limit to be able to manufacture so many aircraft.If you want to produce more aircraft, it will take some time.But for the troops fighting in the steppe, these sixty aircraft are their trump card backing.It can be used as a cargo plane to airdrop supplies for troops advancing in the steppe, and can also be used to bomb the Japanese army during key battles.Gao Dong's subordinates already have tank units, heavy fire support artillery units, and new army units with new equipment.Coupled with these bombers, he is tantamount to a tiger with wings.Everything was ready, and Yang Fei and others came to Gao Dong one after another to ask for battle.They have been nesting in the base for almost half a month, and they have long been holding their breath.At this time, seeing that everything was ready, he immediately thought of attacking the Japanese fortress and driving the devils out of the grassland completely."
Chief of Staff, our army of 50,000 is ready, and the soldiers have long been gearing up.Just wait for your words now, and the army will immediately march towards the grassland," Yang Fei rolled up his sleeves and said with an oath."
Yes, Chief of Staff, our Fourth Army has come from afar, not to rest, but to follow you to make meritorious contributions.Although our Fourth Army is newly formed, it is not a bad race, and the officers and men of our army think every day that they can become famous in one battle" Lu Yousheng, commander of the Fourth Army, waved his fists, his face full of high spirits.Gao Dong smiled at everyone: "Actually, I was ready to set off a long time ago, but there are still some preparations that are not completely ready, so there will be some delays" "What preparations have not been completed" Yang Fei said with a bitter face: "Our preparations are enough to defeat the little devil's fortress several times." ”Gao Dong laughed: "Have you heard the phrase that far water can't quench your thirst from near you" Yang Fei, Lu Yousheng and the others looked at each other, staring at each other with big eyes, obviously not understanding what Gao Dong's words meant."
Chief of Staff, just say it directly, we are all rough people, and we don't understand the crepe set" Lu Yousheng laughed.Gao Dong smiled: "Although our newly built base has stored enough supplies, we are almost a thousand kilometers away from the enemy's fortress at the moment.The Japanese fortress was built in the very center of the steppe, and Batu said that if the horse team marched, it would take about half a month to reach it.Such a long distance, such a long supply line, just by airplanes dropped to us, is it enough for us to fight a tough battle" Gao Dong's words made the people around him speechless, everyone is a veteran of the battlefield, and naturally understands the importance of the supply line.After a tough battle, even the continuous supply from the rear may not be enough.50,000 people ate and drank Lazar every day, as well as a large amount of ammunition consumed during the battle.If they have 500 planes airdropped day and night, it will still be guaranteed.But they only had sixty planes, and they couldn't make accurate airdrops at night.If this starts a war, it will not be able to replenish the attrition of the troops at all."
Chief of Staff, do you mean to continue building bases like the one you are building along the way to solve the dilemma of long supply lines" Ren Minjian said with squinted eyes."
Yes, you can see it thoroughly" Gao Dong laughed and said: "Let's come to the grassland to fight, not only to fight the equipment and the morale of our troops, but also to fight a war of logistics and supply" "The Japanese are far away in the depths of the grassland, and they can send troops to attack our supply lines from anywhere at any time."
As soon as our supply lines are broken, the troops at the forefront are bound to be in danger.In the end, they either retreated helplessly, or they ran out of ammunition and food and were surrounded by the enemy."
We cannot afford such losses, and the telegram sent to us by the commander also clearly instructed that we should only be allowed to win and not to lose."
So, we have to build reliable supply bases along the way.It is not necessary to have an airfield, but the base must have at least two battalions stationed and no less than one division stocked.In this way, we can go to the depths of the grassland with peace of mind and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese," Gao Dong finished speaking, and looked at the crowd: "The troops immediately moved forward and advanced towards the location of the Ba Shitu Division.We're going to set up the next supply base there, just in time for the people of the Bashitu to keep a good watch on us. ”"Are those people in the Ba Shi Tu Department reliable" Yang Fei asked in surprise: "They just beat us" Gao Dong smiled: "Let's go there to build a base, which has brought too many benefits to the Ba Shi Tu Ministry."
They will have a lot of financial resources, you say they are reliable or not and we have liberated there, and soon the interior will send cadres to the Bashitu Department to preside over the herdsmen there. ”Gao Dong made a decision, and the next day the whole army was drawn and advanced towards the location of the Ba Shi Tubu.The newly built base was taken over by a regiment from Shanxi, and a large amount of supplies were transferred to the Ba Shitu Department along with the large army.This time, without bringing a large number of herdsmen, the all-motorized transport unit arrived at the location of the Ba Shitu Department in only three days.Gao Dong convened some people who were in charge of the work at this time to discuss with the Ba Shi Tu Ministry, and finally agreed to build a base two kilometers next to the Ba Shi Tu Ministry.The Ba Shi Tu Department sent 50,000 herdsmen to participate in the construction work together with migrant workers from the mainland.Gao Dong also gave the herdsmen corresponding remuneration, and a large number of daily necessities were purchased from the Ba Shi Tu Department.The Bashitu tribe suddenly became lively, and all the income could go to the herdsmen themselves, and they no longer had to be handed over to the nobles of Udor.Ordinary herdsmen were very enthusiastic and asked to participate in the construction of the base.At the same time, a large amount of food is delivered to the construction site every day to feed the army and migrant workers.A month later, a logistics supply base was erected next to the Bashi Tubu.Gao Dong continued to march to the depths of the grassland with a large number of migrant workers.On this road of more than 1,000 kilometers, he will erect one logistics supply base after another like a benchmark.Then, completely lead the Japanese into the endless abyss aa2705221:
