Early the next morning, the Japanese aircraft group began to carry out large-scale reconnaissance and bombing in the area around Shimen. It is strange that the Japanese planes did not bomb Shimen City, including the airfield and the station, which were important targets, and the Japanese planes did not bomb them. A discerning person can see at a glance that the little devil believes that he can recapture Shimen, and is unwilling to destroy the infrastructure of Shimen, lest he have to spend money to rebuild it.

Liu Yimin and Zuo Quan slept too late, and they didn't get up until ten o'clock in the morning. [

After sleeping, Liu Yimin ran for days

o The fatigue of "" labor is swept away, and the look is radiant, and the black jewel-like eyes are breathtaking. Zuo Quan is the same, after last night's conversation, he is also radiant, and he has a lot of confidence in his gestures. Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng secretly wondered when they saw each other, and they couldn't figure out why Zuo Quan's spirit had become so good all of a sudden.

At noon in the morning, Liu Yimin, accompanied by Song Renqiang, secretary of the South Hebei District Party Committee and political commissar of the South Hebei Military Region, went to the "government" of Pseudo Shimen City, which is located at the junction of Qiaoxi South Street and North Street, to hold a press conference to summon Ma Heyan, the mayor of Pseudo Shimen and the former president of the Shimen Chamber of Commerce, who had been captured.

The reporters who attended the press conference were all reporters from Japanese fake newspapers.

When the Eighth Route Army occupied Tianjin, Qingdao, and Jinan, the Eighth Route Army did not shoot a single reporter or editor in so many Japanese-controlled Tsutai and newspaper offices.

Moreover, Liu Yimin held press conferences in Tianjin, Qingdao, and Jinan, and also invited reporters from these news media controlled by the Japanese puppet to attend. The main reason for this is that Liu Yimin wants to pass their pen and mouth. Propaganda of anti-Japanese policies. As for what kind of trial these Japanese pseudo-news media practitioners should receive, Liu Yimin believes that there is no need to be too hasty, and it is not too late to settle the total account after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

The reporters stationed in Tianjin, Qingdao, and Jinan were all prisoners of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army did not kill them, confiscated their equipment and assets, and had to ask them to find someone to guarantee and pay a fine before they could be released.

As for the non-governmental news organizations in Tianjin, Qingdao, and Jinan, they were all protected by the Eighth Route Army.

The same is true of our army's capture of Shimen, and the paper and printing equipment of the Japanese pseudo-newspaper office can be removed as much as possible, and the employees are intensively educated.

When the Japanese army occupied Shimen, the original newspapers and radio stations in Shimen had ceased publication and broadcasting. Now only one Chinese newspaper is published in the whole of Shimen, and it was Chen Yi of the Han Jiān organization of the Xinmin Association in November 1937

The "Shimen Zhengbao", which was founded in January, was just renamed "Shimen Xinbao" in November, with a circulation of about 10,000 copies, and was purely a Han Jiān newspaper that added the words of the "Ri" himself, and could be regarded as the mouthpiece and spokesperson of the Xinmin Association. There is also a Japanese-language newspaper. It was the first issue of the "Shimen Daily News" founded by Toshio Tanaka himself on August 1 this year. It is a Japanese daily magazine with 4 editions, and it is distributed to the city and stations along the Jinghan and Zhengtai railways.

In addition to these two Japanese newspapers, the Xinmin Bao in Beiping, the Beijing Morning Post, and the Yong Bao in Tianjin, all of which were controlled by the Japanese puppet, all had branches or distribution offices in Shimen, and dozens of news organizations, such as the Japanese East Asia News, Dajun's Mainichi Shimbun, and Asahi Shimbun, also had branches, communication departments, or branch offices in Shimen.

The main reason why there are so many news organizations in Shimen is that they have more vision than the Kuomintang, and they have taken a fancy to Shimen's status as a transportation hub and want to build Shimen into one of the six major metropolises in North China alongside Beiping, Tianjin, Qingdao, Jinan, and Taiyuan.

It is precisely for this reason that Tengtaro Katakura, the adviser of the pseudo-Shimen City "government", organized the "Japanese" experts to formulate the "Shimen City Urban Planning Outline", which was planned in eight aspects, and planned to build Shijiazhuang Metropolis with Shijiazhuang Station as the center, 10 kilometers to the east, 14 kilometers to the west, 7 kilometers to the north, and undecided to the south. That is, it is now west to Lulu, east to Gaocheng, north to Hutuo River, and south to Luancheng boundary.

Japanese army planning... The Shijiazhuang metropolitan street area is: 3 kilometers to the east, about 4 kilometers to the west, 3 kilometers to the north, and 25 kilometers to the south with the Jinghan Road Railway Station as the center, with an area of about 38 square kilometers and a population of 10,000. Planning... The area is mainly used for living and residential purposes, with less industrial land, more reserved land, and more land in the forbidden area. The road planning system adopts a chessboard layout and generally adopts a small neighborhood approach. Main road planning... The width is 30-45 meters, the residential arterial road is 20-30 meters, and the width of the general street is 10-15 meters. Planning... Public building projects mainly include primary schools, middle schools, theaters, amusement parks, stadiums, public hospitals, municipal governments, public works bureaus, police inspection bureaus, political bureaus, telephone bureaus, commerce bureaus,

Racetracks, parks, etc.: municipal utilities include water companies and electric light companies: the direction of urban development is mainly Qiaoxi.

In order to realize this plan..., Tengtaro Katakura took two approaches, one was to set up a special urban plan within the pseudo-municipal office... The promotion committee specifically supervised the implementation of the plan: the other hand was a large number of immigrants in Shimen, the establishment of the Shimen consulate, and the establishment of the "Japan" Resident Association.

It turned out that when the Japanese army captured Shimen, the residents of Shimen fled in all directions, and only 5,000 people remained in the city of more than 70,000 people, and now the population of Shimen urban area has recovered to more than 60,000 people.

There are two main reasons why Liu Yimin wanted to summon Ma Heyu and let the Japanese pseudo-newspaper reporters participate, one is to let the Japanese army know that he is in Shimen, and let the Japanese army mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized to rush to Shimen and completely mobilize the little devils: The other reason is that Liu Yimin fell in love with the "Shimen City Urban Planning Outline" carried out by Tengtaro Katakura, and if it were not for this construction plan carried out by Tengtaro Ikura, the urban construction of Shijiazhuang would probably have been delayed for several years. Liu Yimin is a traverser, and while fighting devils, he also has to let the little devils carry out construction in North China according to their plan. If Katakura Tengtaro and Ma Heyu were simply killed, the Japanese army's plan to build Shijiazhuang on a large scale might be scrapped.

This is something that Liu Yimin absolutely does not want to see.

At present, the Japanese army's Shijiazhuang construction plan has been launched, and it has also achieved certain results. The most obvious is in traffic.

In terms of railways, I combined Shijiazhuang Station on Pinghan Road and Shijiazhuang Station on Zhengtai Road in Shimen into one railway station, and changed Yan Xishan's narrow-gauge Zhengtai Railway into standard gauge, and laid two double tracks according to the standard gauge to form a four-line line, so that it is east and Jinghan, west and Tongpu,

Jingsui connection, the formation of a railway network, and the Japanese army to build the Deshi railway, Shijiazhuang will become a veritable railway hub.

In terms of highways, the Japanese army built the Beijing-Guangzhou Highway, the Shitai Highway, the Cangshi Highway, and the Beijing-Won Highway. These highways were originally carriage avenues, but now they are all automobile highways. As soon as the highway was opened, the Japanese army set up the Shimen Automobile Business Office of the North China Co., Ltd. in April this year, with 170 freight cars, 10 passenger cars, and 457 employees. In addition to satisfying military transportation every day, it mainly transports laid-off workers, and opens four passenger lines, including the Cangshi Line, the Shining Line, the Shijing Line, and the Shishu Line.

In terms of urban roads, most of the original streets in Shimen City were paved with stone blocks, which were uneven.

The roads are narrow. Since the beginning of the spring of last year, the Japanese pseudo-municipal office has successively built Xiehe Road, Xinmin Road, Heping Road, Xinxing Road, Chaoyang Road, West Road Fork Street, Yaoshan Temple Street, renovated 27 streets such as Datong Street, South Street, and Zhishan Street, and successively repaired and installed 1,500 street lamps on the main streets

Zhan, the construction of Shizheng, Shiyuan, Shigao and other suburban roads made the Shimen urban roads form a shape extending in all directions.

According to their own plan..., in addition to speeding up the construction of the Deshi Railway, they have begun to survey and build two waterproof roads in the north and south to prevent the flooding of Shimen, and also to build the Shijin Canal to communicate the waterway transportation from Shimen to Tanggu Port in Tianjin.

After discussing with Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng did not agree to summon Mr. Cangtentaro, but only agreed to summon Ma Heyu to publicize the policies of our party and our army. As for Kuriteng Taro, Mr. Zhu's opinion is that he can not be killed, but he must be brought back to the base area and dealt with according to the method of being captured.

Liu Yimin can't wait to kill all the little devils, but he knows the spleen of the little devils, and Tengtaro Katakura can make a lot of efforts to come up with the "Shimen City Urban Planning Outline", that is, to take the construction of Shimen as his career, and he may not do it if he changes people. This can't be done, you have to let Tengtaro Katakura put his plan... If we go on, how much will it save us!

Therefore, Liu Yimin tried his best to explain the stakes to the two bosses, and in the end, Mr. Zhu finally agreed to release Katakura Tengtaro after educating him.

Katakura Tengtaro was the first Japanese prisoner released by the Eighth Route Army since it went north to resist Japan.

Liu Yimin and Song Renqiang walked into the conference room of the pseudo-Shimen City "Government" Office, and when they were afraid, Ma Heyan, the mayor of the pseudo-Shimen City "Government" Office, was kneeling on the ground and waiting!

The president of the maintenance association established after the Japanese army captured Shimen was Li Hanqing, an inferior gentleman, this guy may have a bad reputation, and it didn't take long for the Japanese army to kick him away, so that Ma Heyan, the president of the Chamber of Commerce who has a certain reputation in Shimen, replaced him as the director of the preparatory department of the Shimen Municipal Office. When the old moon and day pseudo-approved the establishment of Shimen City this year, Ma Heyu took office and became the number one Han jiān in Shimen.

The first mayor of Shimen City. Tengtaro Katakura served as an advisor to the municipal "government" office, and "maneuvered" the power of the municipal government.

The pseudo-Shimen Municipal Office consists of the Secretariat, the Finance Bureau, the Social Bureau, the Police Bureau, the Almshouse, the Slaughterhouse, etc. The office is located at: There are 12 districts under the jurisdiction of the urban area, and each district has a district office, which is composed of several people such as the district head, clerk, and husband: each street in the district has 1 street chief. The district mayor does not receive a salary, but is a voluntary position, and the expenses of each district office are borne by the residents of the district. (To be continued...)
