Chapter 342 The General Trend of History
Before the arrival of the Japanese infantry brigade, the Eighth Route Army successfully broke through to the Yimeng Mountains. Compared with the area of Zaozhuang, the terrain and area of the Yimeng Mountains are more complicated, and even if the Japanese army wants to encircle and suppress, they are afraid that it will be more difficult.
The Eighth Route Army that failed to encircle and suppress the territory of Zaozhuang, and the commander of the Japanese garrison stationed in Qilu was naturally extremely angry. Fortunately, after the Eighth Route Army withdrew into the Yimeng Mountains, the chaotic Zaozhuang finally calmed down.
In view of the importance of the railway, the Japanese army sent troops to strengthen the control of the surrounding areas of the Yimeng Mountains, and at the same time intensified the efforts to clear the armed forces behind the enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese garrison assembled in Zaozhuang also began to make every effort to repair the bombed-out railway.
In order to repair the damaged railway in the Zaozhuang section as soon as possible, the Japanese army could only choose to forcibly recruit Zhuangding to build railways and pillboxes. The prisoners of war who had been captured from the battlefield earlier were also sent from prisons in various parts of the Japanese army to Zaozhuang to serve as coolies.
It's just that for the Japanese army occupying Qilu, the stabilization of the situation in Zaozhuang does not mean that Qilu has also calmed down. On the contrary, after Zaozhuang stabilized, the Japanese army successively received news that many places were attacked by anti-Japanese armed forces.
The flames of resistance against Japan are burning in the land of Qilu, which is a headache for the Japanese troops stationed in Qilu. Many garrison troops could only stick to the county town and organize sweeps and encirclement operations again and again to combat these anti-Japanese forces.
Knowing that the main force sent by the Eighth Route Army to Qilu had arrived, it began to launch a war of harassment and sabotage behind enemy lines. Hu Biao's first department, which was stationed in Maling Mountain in Tancheng, also started to act after perfecting the base and the guerrilla base area.
The three guerrillas stationed on the periphery, under the banner of the Malingshan anti-Japanese guerrillas, began to attack the Japanese garrison in the three counties. Some of the Japanese troops stationed in the town soon became the ghosts of the anti-Japanese guerrillas.
Knowing that anti-Japanese forces had appeared in the territory, the Japanese garrisons stationed in the counties were also a headache. In the face of these armed forces behind enemy lines who seemed to be running around to commit crimes, the commanders of the Japanese garrisons in the three counties could not think of a good solution.
Under these circumstances, the Japanese army could only reduce the number of defenders sent to the towns and focus their defense on the county seats. This also meant that the influence of the Japanese army could only stay in the county seat, but outside the county town became the world of the guerrillas.
Around Maling Mountain, under the instruction of Hu Biao, many villages have formed militia escorts. While cracking down on the little devils, Hu Biao also cooperated with these militia guards to clean up the bandits and traitors in the jurisdiction.
The only thing that made the Japanese army happy was that these guerrillas who carried out raids and sabotage did not touch the core area of the Japanese army. In view of the shortage of troops in the occupied areas, the Japanese army accelerated the formation of puppet army units while maintaining the situation in the territory.
Looking at Liu Shixing, who had arrived in Tancheng for a few days, Hu Biao, who had not yet left, also said seriously: "Old Liu, the intelligence stations in each county must be set up as soon as possible. In addition, intensify the rebellion against the puppet army, and it is best to control the puppet army in our hands! ”
"Captain, it's a little difficult to do this!"
"It doesn't matter! For these puppet soldiers, most of them were forced to join the puppet army, and there were not many who really worked for the little devils. In the process of plotting rebellion and co-opting, you first let the intelligence officers find out the details of those puppet armies.
When the time is ripe, contact the commanders of these puppet armies. As long as the money is paid, I believe that those officers of the puppet army will also know what choice they should make. If you are really disobedient, then let the little devil change the commander again. ”
In Hu Biao's opinion, the puppet army who is desperate to work for the little devils has no need to let them continue to live. There are snipers in the base, and the intelligence group can take out the puppet army commander who is not being co-opted at any time if necessary.
As long as they can rebel or buy an officer or soldier in the puppet army, the intelligence group can slowly control the puppet army. In the future, when you want to fight the idea of the county seat, you can also use these puppet armies to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
After listening to Hu Biao's story, Liu Shixing thought for a while and said, "Captain, I understand how to do it!" ”
"In a short period of time, we will not easily attack the county seat occupied by the little devils. As long as the county seat is not lost, the little devil will not make any big moves. Even if the little devils start a big sweep, we can slowly deal with them.
After all, this is our territory, and the little devils can't afford to support a long-term and large-scale sweep. Moreover, the little devils in Tancheng are under the jurisdiction of the Japanese army in Qilu, and Xinyi and the East China Sea are under the jurisdiction of the Japanese army in Su Province.
If the Japanese garrisons of different backgrounds want to jointly carry out encirclement and suppression operations, it is also more difficult to coordinate all parties. The most important thing is that you have also seen the situation around Tancheng, and there are not many things that are really valuable to the Japanese army. ”
Although Tancheng's strategic position is very important, there are not many truly valuable resources in the territory. For the Japanese army, the importance of Tancheng is certainly not as important as Zaozhuang. From the garrison troops dispatched, we can see the focus of some Japanese troops' deployment.
As the Malingshan guerrillas began to operate around Tancheng, the Japanese garrisons stationed in the surrounding area also felt quite a headache. Several sweeps were organized, but in the end they failed to achieve the desired results, but lost some troops.
If they want to intensify their sweeps, but they are unable to mobilize more troops to cooperate, how can they encircle and suppress the guerrillas who are wandering with only the garrisons stationed in the counties? In desperation, the little devils stationed in the counties can only protect the county towns that are defended.
After forming this pattern of struggle, Hu Biao still did not expand rapidly, on the contrary, he continued to fight steadily, and began to order the guerrillas to select some villages in the territory and form corresponding militia escorts. From among the militia, select outstanding soldiers to form new troops.
was busy until the Battle of Xuzhou was fully over, and after receiving the news of the Yellow River bursting, Hu Biao also knew that this man-made levee burst incident was ultimately unavoidable. After learning the news, Hu Biao quickly sent a telegram to the Eighth Route Army.
The food that the Eighth Route Army had purchased on its behalf earlier was prepared for the relief of the victims. Even to the surprise of the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao did not want to do it himself, but entrusted the Eighth Route Army to provide disaster relief on his behalf.
After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Mr. Zhu was also very surprised: "Could it be that this guy knew in advance that such a disaster would happen?" If this is the case, then the truth of the Yellow River's embankment burst is not so simple! ”
"Boss, no matter what the truth of the embankment breaking, in this situation, the Yellow River can only be blown up by little devils!"
The commander of the Eighth Route Army, who stayed by Mr. Zhu's side, also knew what Mr. Zhu meant. But the current aggressive offensive against the Japanese army really can't withstand too much tossing, and some so-called truths can only be covered up.
If the people knew that the so-called Yellow River dike was not caused by the Japanese bombing, how would those affected by the disaster view the Nationalist Government? If the people's support is lost, then this war of resistance will be even more difficult to fight.
Also unexpectedly, there were several bigwigs in Yan'an, who received a telegram forwarded by Mr. Zhu, and Taizu also said directly: "Call back to Mr. Zhu, transport the purchased grain to the Yellow Flood Area, and provide disaster relief in the name of the Eighth Route Army." ”
Faced with Taizu's decision, Deputy Marshal Zhou thought for a while and said: "If we do this, I'm afraid that some people will say that we are winning the hearts of the people!" ”
"Are we still afraid of what they say? What's more, this thing was entrusted to us by others, so we can't talk, right? Let the boss send more teams over, and if possible, help more of the fleeing victims! ”
"With our ability, there are not many people who can be relieved!"
"It's better to save one than not to save one! A drug dealer can afford to spend such money to help the victims, so why don't we do it? What's more, the relief materials themselves belong to someone else, don't they? ”
Hu Biao provided the relief materials, but the relief was the responsibility of the Eighth Route Army. In Taizu's view, whether it was public or private, he could not refuse Hu Biao's request. What's more, this is an extremely beneficial thing for the Eighth Route Army.
After sending a telegram to the Eighth Route Army asking for help, Hu Biao sent another telegram to Li Zongren, hoping that he could order the troops in the area under his jurisdiction to provide relief to as many victims as possible. At the same time, ask who the commander is responsible for blowing up the duke.
Receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Li Zongren said with a wry smile: "It seems that there are some things, but you still can't hide them from those who have a heart!" ”
"General, is it true that you have to tell him who did this?"
"Alas! In the end, it is the people who are really suffering. From what I know, this Captain Hu seems to be ruthless, but in fact he has pity for the people. Let him know who the person who blew up the embankment is, and it is estimated that that guy will definitely not have good fruit to eat! ”
"What then?"
"Call back to Captain Hu, I will give orders to the troops in the jurisdiction for the relief of the victims. At this time of national crisis, we hope to work together to resist the war. At this moment, I really can't stand the toss! I mean, he should be able to understand! ”
In fact, from remembering the disaster caused by the bursting of the Yellow River estuary to the current relief work, Hu Biao knew that no one could be held responsible. In the final analysis, if there is a choice, I believe that no one wants to blow up the embankment of the Yellow River easily.
After receiving Li Zongren's reply from Lin Yashi's hand, Hu Biao said with a sigh: "They all emphasize the overall situation, but who cares about the life and death of the people?" Okay, call him back and tell him that the telegram has been received! ”
"Captain, do you think the Yellow River burst was not done by the little devil?"
"Whether it was a little devil or not, it doesn't really matter anymore. Importantly, the Yellow River has burst its banks, and the people affected by the disaster have been left homeless and displaced. Forget it, that's all I can do! ”
Even if he knew the news in advance, even if he was a traverser, Hu Biao was still powerless in the face of this historical trend. In addition to asking others for help, Hu Biao also transferred corresponding personnel from the team into the Yellow Flood Area.
According to what Hu Biao learned from later films, a series of disasters caused by the bursting of the Yellow River will continue to be staged in the future. Sending people into the Yellow Flood area ahead of time may also save the lives of some of the victims.
When the people who entered the Yellow Flood Area began to gain a firm foothold, Hu Biao would try his best to raise more materials to transport to the Yellow Flood Area in the future. He only hopes that he will do his part to save more victims who died due to the levee burst!
