In fact, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the chairman of the committee also did it, and it was not Zhang Ran's invention.

At the first moment of the outbreak of the war, the chairman of the committee had already set the strategy of the scorched earth war of resistance, and his thinking was completely consistent with Zhang Ran's idea, which was nothing more than not giving the little devils a chance to supply along the way, and making it as difficult as possible for the little devils to invade.

However, it turned out to be useless at all.

But Zhang Ran believes that the detachment's strategy of clearing the wilderness will definitely make those little devils suffer hard!

The reason why Zhang Ran is still so confident in the strategy that the chairman has proven to be useless is obvious - his own Jindong detachment is full of people!

This is not to say that the chairman's scorched-earth anti-Japanese war strategy failed at the beginning, but because the people's hearts were not aligned.

Whether or not each strategy will work in the end cannot simply be attributed to a certain point of failure, but must be viewed from a macro perspective.

There are many reasons why the chairman's scorched-earth anti-war strategy failed.

First of all, the chairman of the National People's Congress hastily decided to scorched the earth to resist the war, without full preparation, and the strategy was not completely implemented at all - the opening of the war, and the fact that there were so many ordinary people in the war zone, is an excellent proof of the lack of preparation.

As long as there are ordinary people operating in the war zone, it is an obvious fact that all their daily necessities may be robbed by the little devils and supplied on the spot.

Of course, the failure of the chairman of the committee was not only unprepared for the implementation of the scorched earth anti-war strategy, but also because even if he was given time to prepare, he could not prepare!

When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, the little devils attacked in many ways, and the areas involved in the war at the first time affected more than 100 million people in several provinces, including countless cities such as Shanghai and Beiping......

With so many regions and so many people, how can it be arranged?

It is simply unrealistic to want to transfer all the population and materials in so many areas, and burn all the houses and leave nothing to the little devils!

Not to mention, at that time, because of the lack of policy publicity, the people did not have enough understanding of the cruelty of the little devils, and even if the chairman of the committee had the ability to transfer so many people, I am afraid that a huge number of ordinary people were unwilling to go......

But on the detachment's side, it's different!

After more than a year and two years of development, the detachment has built up a huge organizational contingent in the entire base area, from Zhang Ran and other generals of the detachment to the mayor of each town, the secretary of each brigade, and the leader of each group......

The entire organization team is like a big tree in the sky, rooted in every place where there are people in the two counties of the entire base area!

The core concept of the organization, the propaganda work of resisting Japan and saving the country, everyone rising up to save themselves, etc., is transmitted to the ears of every citizen in the county through the organization team all the time, and reminds the people in every base area all the time that at the critical moment, they must obey and cooperate with the arrangements of the detachment, stand up bravely, sacrifice the small self, and support the big self......

In addition to publicity, the detachment also carried out multiple stimuli of honor and interests by means of building roads, transporting coal, participating in the militia to earn work points, evaluating the advanced, and then changing fertilizers, so as to stimulate the people's sense of identity with the detachment and the spirit of self-sacrifice......

In this case, under Zhang Ran's order, everyone in the base area will only support his decision, and it will never be possible to jump out and go against him!

Of course, in addition to the detachment's policy propaganda that has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the confidence that the fortified wall Qingye can be implemented most thoroughly also comes from the detachment's preparatory work in this process.

Since last fall, the detachment has been engaged in large-scale pit digging work.

In addition to digging their own grain storage holes, concealing and transferring tunnels, and collective tunnels between villages, each township has also organized manpower to dig up areas for centralized refuge and resettlement in inaccessible areas deep in the mountains of the county!

These areas are not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also have a large amount of food and materials in reserve, and a large number of protective networks have been arranged around them.

Once the plan is implemented, all the people in the area will be moved to the centralized evacuation and resettlement area, where they will not only have a place to live, food and drink, but also a special person to ensure their safety......

As long as they cooperate with the actions of the detachment, then when the war is over and it is safe, they can return to their homes again, and the destroyed houses will be rebuilt by the detachment.

These arrangements are equivalent to completely cutting off the worries of the villagers!

It is also under this circumstance that Zhang Ran has absolute confidence that the detachment can thoroughly implement the strategy of clearing the wilderness!

And by completely fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, the devils who dare to invade the base area will be given a dismount first, so that all the little devils and puppet troops will understand a fact first......

The enemy they faced this time was none other than the Jindong detachment!

The enemy they faced this time was the 330,000 soldiers and civilians living in the two counties of Dongjiang and Cangshui, and even every grass, tree, mountain and water here!

Of course, if you want to successfully defend the base in the autumn offensive, or even win the final victory of the devil's autumn offensive, it is not enough to rely on a strong wall to clear the field!

"Grenades, mines, have they all been distributed?" Zhang Ran asked.

"It's all out!"

Wang Changtian, Huang Gui Hu Lijun said: "Adult men and women, from the age of sixteen to fifty-five, are now able to ensure that each person has a grenade and a landmine......

"Good!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ran nodded with satisfaction.

Ensuring that everyone in this age group has a grenade and a mine ensures that at the necessary moment, ordinary people will have the means to help the detachment within their means, at least in case the devils pose a threat to them, they will not be left defenseless!

"Remember to tell the villagers to give them grenade mines, not to let them rush out and fight with the little devils in vain!"

Zhang Ran was not only satisfied, but also did not forget to tell Wang Changtian, Huang Gui, Hu Lijun and others, he didn't want to see the scene at a certain moment, a group of ordinary people rushed towards the devil like crazy, holding grenades......

Although that kind of scene is very shocking, it can also best show the determination and consciousness of the awakened people of this nation who would rather die than give in to the devil......

However, such an unnecessary sacrifice, Zhang Ran didn't want to see.

Because now, it's far from that moment!

"Don't worry, Captain, we've already explained it!"

Several people nodded their heads, indicating that they had taken various measures to avoid this from happening.

If you don't get permission, those who rush out with grenades and fight with the little devils will not only not be rewarded and praised, but will be punished physically - even if they die, they may not be eligible to be buried in the martyrs' cemetery!

After listening to these arrangements, Zhang Ran finally put his mind at ease.

The collection and return of the newly harvested grain to the warehouse, as well as the collection of old grain stored by each household in proportion to the collection and centralized storage of the grain, are also proceeding smoothly.

Zhang Ran believes that the villagers will support it, but the old grain stored by the people in the last two seasons must be handed over in accordance with a certain proportion, and the villagers have no complaints, this Zhang Ran does not dare to guarantee.

"Hey, captain, can you not think that the quality of the people in our base area is so low?"

Hearing Zhang Ran's worried question, Huang Gui said a little unhappily: "People's hearts are all flesh and blood, and the cadres have done so much propaganda and mobilization, can our fellow villagers understand what situation our detachment is currently facing?"

This is the time to live together and die together!

Do you think that our fellow villagers are really willing to watch our detachment defeated, and they will continue to live the days of being bullied and oppressed by little devils? Have you ever been to the days when you fought hard, but your family was hungry every day? Huang Guidao.

"Yes, Captain, we can understand that you care a lot about the thoughts of the villagers, but I have to say that sometimes you are really worried a little too much!"

Hu Lijun also said: "I don't know what the situation is on this side of the Dongjiang River, anyway, what do the people of our Cangshui think, then I know very well - everyone understands that if it weren't for the detachment, if it weren't for the detachment, it would not talk about the grain harvested in the autumn, but the old grain that was not eaten after the summer harvest...... If there is no detachment, the stomach will not be full, where will the old grain come from?

Besides, didn't you explain it clearly when you issued the order, captain? Whether it is the new grain controlled in the autumn collection, or the old grain handed over according to the proportion, it is not for nothing, it should be borrowed from the villagers, and when the detachment has relieved itself, the grain detachment can be returned, and the grain can also be exchanged for fertilizer and things to the detachment - what complaints can the villagers have? Hu Lijun also said.

"I didn't insist that the quality of our people is really low, am I not worried? Can't I even ask? ”

Seeing that he asked, Huang Gui and Hu Lijun had a lot of it, and Zhang Ran was depressed.

Obviously, the people in the base area were enthusiastic, and it was a great thing to support the detachment's decision, but Zhang Ran was unhappy......

It's just that Zhang Ran is not happy, and the others are happy.

For example, Kang Ting, Shi Yuan, thin monkey, Wang Laogui and others, now that Le's tooth sockets have come out afterwards, even Wang Changtian and Lu Yan are all covering their mouths and stealing fun when they saw Zhang Ran's face turned blue when they were choked by Hu Lijun and Huang Gui's call!

Zhang Ran was even more depressed, saying in his heart, the captain of his own detachment, the supreme commander of the base area, was so aggrieved, and he had no dignity at all!

He couldn't help but start to miss the time when he was helping the poor!

When he was in charge of poverty alleviation, he was only in charge of a village in Yanggou Town, and the official had not yet grown up in the village in the base area......

But those group leaders or something, don't they also lower their eyebrows and nod their heads when they see themselves?

Where is it like now!

There is no majesty at all!
