Chapter 178: Border Defense
From Huolin Gol City to Erenhot City, the entire national border is more than 1,000 kilometers long. Hu Zhiyong was ruthless and wanted to build a strong defensive trench and power grid minefield here.
The five-meter-wide defensive trench was more than 1,000 kilometers long, and everyone thought it would be difficult to do. However, a mechanical engineering team was formed and a large number of tractors, forklifts, and cranes were purchased back from the Soviet Union.
Mongolia is also interested in this, as it would also reduce the pressure on their border guards. Hu Zhigang soon signed a contract with them, and nearly 100,000 laborers were transferred from Mongolia to join the border defense construction.
"Minefield, damn minefield!" The best horse thief in the steppe hesitated in the border zone. Wherever the work has not been started, it is minefield, and it is more than five miles wide. Whoever wants to pass by here, and at the sound of an explosion, a cavalry will appear and rush over to check it.
Hu Zhigang and Hou Dashun inspected the border defense, and they not only had to build a defense line, but also a border land transport port and a large-scale bazaar. Chen Wanxin of the Third Cavalry Army served as the border defense, and the three divisions guarded the vast ground for thousands of miles.
"Commander, even if we don't guard it, the Mongolian border guards will do their best to stop people from smuggling. Is it necessary for us to do so? Chen Wanxin didn't understand it, is it too stupid to work the people and money like this?
"For the future!" Hou Dashun said lightly: "The Great Wall is much bigger than this project, wasn't it still under construction back then?" ”
"Later?" Chen Wanxin smiled: "We are passers-by, we have beaten the little devil, we should also unload our armor and return to the field and leave." ”
"It's the future of Huaxia!" Hou Dashun snorted and said, "The young master took out so much money, but it was actually an investment with no return. ”
"The Manchurian and Mongolian Autonomous Government has a total population of 6 million, of which 278957 square kilometers are Chahar and 179,982.05 square kilometers are Rehe. Now that we are in the season of agricultural leisure, mobilizing the public to participate, which will greatly shorten the construction period. Hu Zhigang pondered and made suggestions to Hou Dashun.
"Yes!" Hou Dashun thought for a while: "Take care of food and housing, ten oceans per person per month." ”
"Ten oceans?" Hu Zhigang smiled: "The five oceans will attract millions of people to participate, and you are burning money by doing this." ”
"My task is to complete the construction period, and the money belongs to your Hu family!" Hou Dashun smiled slyly, as if he didn't feel distressed if he spent more money.
"Hey, they're all losers!" Hu Zhigang shook his head depressedly and began to convene a meeting of county magistrates.
The actions of the Manchurian and Mongolian autonomous governments immediately attracted peasants from the Beijing-Tianjin region and the Jizhong Plain. For them, 10 oceans is simply 500 catties of flour. During the Republic of China, a hundred catties of white flour were worth two oceans, and they were tempted to earn so much in a month.
"Let's get through, we've got no way to live, do we want to starve to death?" In front of the position guarded by the national army, a burst of noise alarmed Dai Anlan.
"Listen!" Dai Anlan climbed to the top and said to the angry peasants: "You don't have documents, they won't take you in." Moreover, the construction of a trench is the work of young and strong laborers, and it is possible for you to go in blindly? ”
"But we have traveled a hundred miles to come here, should we go back empty-handed?" The migrant workers asked loudly.
"Hey! They didn't announce the recruitment of laborers, and you came blindly. Let's go back, this is a military stronghold, don't interfere with our normal defense. "Dai Anlan has a headache, can he stop it?
"I'll fix it!" Ma Xiandeng came to Dai Anlan's position with his bare hands, looked at the black pressed human head and smashed the tip of his tongue: "It's too much, we can't use so many people." ”
"We'd rather take half the salary! Help us, winter is coming, and we're going to go hungry without work. A middle-aged man said pleadingly.
"Five oceans, everyone agrees?" Ma Xiandeng knew that if he did not handle this matter well, he would smear the face of the self-government.
"Agreed!"
"Let them in and send them to the border in a car!" Ma Xiandeng had no choice but to agree to accept these people.
Ma Xiandeng's decision can make Hu Zhigang, Feng Yuguo, and Wei Yiping busy. The migrant workers who came had no organization, no leaders, and no identity certificates, and if the spies took the opportunity to make trouble, they would cause immeasurable losses to the base areas.
"Divide the First Army of the People's Army into the ranks of migrant workers and let them take the lead!" Feng Yuguo was in a hurry, so he had to use his own troops to maintain order.
"How many?" Wei Yiping grinned and asked, "One million?" ”
"One million eight million!" Hu Zhigang was happy: "Together with the 500,000 laborers in the Mongols and our base areas, there are already 2.4 million laborers working in the border defense. ”
"When the young master calls, the young and strong laborers will be paid 10 oceans, and the old and women will be paid 5 oceans. It is necessary to ensure that not one of them freezes to death or frostbite, and it is even more important that they are well fed and slept well, and have safety protection. Hou Dashun read the telegram with it.
"More than 2,000 people gathered for one kilometer to work, and it can be completed in a month. What to do in the future? Feng Yuguo sighed: "If you don't get it right, there will be chaos!" ”
"Let's do it first!" Hu Zhigang didn't have a proper way.
"Mining coal and marble mines, building roads, and going up the mountain to cut wood, the young master has already thought of it!" Hou Dashun stretched out his fingers: "Three hundred million, this is the bottom line that the young master is ready to throw out." ”
The construction of border fortifications on the Mongolian border was in full swing, and the national troops on the front line of the Great Wall were secretly surprised. Especially those who are soldiers, who don't carry guns and eat food for their livelihood.
"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world!" Dai Anlan sighed, he asked officers at all levels to guard against their subordinates from escaping with guns.
The situation in the defensive position on the southern front has also changed in recent days. The Japanese army deployed four divisions in the occupied area, as well as six puppet army divisions. Laborers captured from the occupied areas built pillboxes and fortifications, but they were constantly harassed by guerrillas and secret forces scattered throughout the area.
The main arteries of Fengning Manchu, Longhua County, Chengde, and Pingquan Yidong were populated with Japanese troops, which increased the burden on the peasants in this area. The tide of resistance was even more intense, and gunfire rang out almost everywhere.
Su Yongmin was not sent back to Rehe, and after recovering from his wounds in Qinglong County, he served as the commander of the garrison here. Now, he has understood Hu Zhiyong's strategic plan and is making every effort to develop the armed forces in the region.
Wang Chunyi explained to Su Yongmin: "You can fight the little devils in the surrounding counties, but don't organize a large army to act." Our men went out and had to change into peasant clothes. ”
"County Magistrate Wang, can I join your party?" Su Yongmin and Ji Hongchang were often together, and he was very supportive of the Red Party's beliefs.
"To join a party organization, you have to obey the party's leadership." Wang Chunyi looked at Su Yongmin: "Your young master will not interfere, but you have to think about it carefully." ”
"Don't think about it!" Su Yongmin said solemnly: "I will listen to the arrangements of my superiors for the rest of my life, and I will also be a qualified party member!" ”
"Okay, I'll report your situation to Hu Zhigang, and I'll be your introducer to join the party!" Wang Chun smiled, he just needed such an excellent military cadre.
Regarding Su Yongmin's entry into the party, Hu Zhigang was very cautious. It's not that he doesn't trust this person, but his third brother values this fierce general very much. When Hou Dashun heard about this, he was very embarrassed and sent a telegram to Hu Zhiyong.
"Agreed!" Hu Zhiyong called back and said: "Anyone in the army or government department can join if they want, and it is also a good thing to stay here after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War." If you are ready to go abroad, please do not participate! ”
"Going abroad?" Hu Zhigang was stunned: "The third brother wants to take you all out?" ”
"Yes!" Hou Dashun said in a low voice: "We are developing abroad to help the country introduce advanced technology and talents. The young master's goal is ambitious, he plans to take away half a million of the best fighters and students! ”
"Can Los Angeles allow so many Chinese to go?" Feng Yuguo was surprised, visas are very difficult to handle, even if Hu Zhiyong has a relationship, it is impossible for them to have green certificates.
"We've built a Phoenix in Southeast Asia, and that's what it's going to look like when it's built." Hou Dashun spread the blueprints on the table, and several main people gathered around.
"Sanshao is amazing!" Wei Yiping looked at the high-rise buildings on the design drawings and admired them from the bottom of her heart.
"No wonder he handed over the government department to us, it turns out that he had a plan!" Hu Zhigang was convinced of his brother's courage, and admired his ambition and long-term plans.
"The base is no longer expanding?" Wei Yiping asked.
"Yes!" Hou Dashun pointed to the map on the wall: "Look! From Rehe, we can quickly lead to Guannei, and from Chahar, we can quickly lead to the Jizhong Plain and the Central Plains. We will not continue to expand in five years, and when the Japanese army takes Zhangjiakou and Ulanqab, we will take these two cities! ”
"The newly appointed commander of the Japanese Army, Takashi Hishikari, is known as the leader of the army. It has been almost two months since this person took office, and he has not taken any action against our base areas. Hu Zhigang said worriedly, he was not at ease with the current situation, and he did not have the long-term consideration of the third brother.
"The focus of colonial rule in Northeast China, which controlled the economic institutions of the puppet Manchus, shifted to economic plunder. He does not dare to use troops to attack us now, and will strengthen the construction and supervision of the Eastern Railway. The young master called and instructed us that we have not had a major war in recent years, and we must also shift our focus to the Middle Eastern Railway! Hou Dashun relayed what Hu Zhiyong had told him to the three high-ranking officials of the autonomous government.
"Can't we take the opportunity to reclaim the immediate vicinity?" Feng Yuguo was surprised, how could the four divisions of the Japanese army be able to withstand the blow of the Rehe Army?
"Can't!" Hou Dashun smiled and said: "We want to fight devils, but the strategy is not to cause devils to be overwhelmed." As long as you send more small troops to attack, you can use the method of zero cutting to let him finish unknowingly! ”
"It's a good solution, but it's a pity that we can't regain the lost ground soon!" Feng Yuguo said regretfully.
"The larger the ground we regain, the more difficult it will be for us. Give the territory to the national army, and they will lose it. Let the devil occupy a little more territory, and when his forces are dispersed, won't it be easier for us to destroy it? Hou Dashun smiled and said to the three magistrates: "Open a few more coal mines, and we will accept all the people who are willing to stay!" ”
"We don't take part in the battle for the sabotage of the railway?" Feng Yuguo waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.
"The participating troops include Yang Jingyu's volunteers, a division of Jinshan and Yongxiang's blood wolf team, and the specific plan has already been arranged, hitting trains, seizing supplies, picking up steel tracks, and the Northeast is lively!" Hou Dashun said exaggeratedly for a long time, and finally said: "This play doesn't have our role, let's do construction with peace of mind!" ”
