Chapter 393: Buy a mouse, then burn it
Today, what Wang Santai is guarding is part of the puppet army of the Ninth Military Administrative Region living in the eastern camp of Qianjiadian in Tongliao, which is mainly stationed in Tongliao and Zhengjiatun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Santai originally followed the spirit of the meeting, tried not to cause trouble, bought time, and let Wan Quance stand up early, but he didn't expect that just a day later, the puppet army came to attack. Because the underground party in Tongliao is extremely weak, there is no inside information at all, which is also one of the reasons why everyone does not want to start a war casually.
The news of the enemy's dispatch came back from a reconnaissance detachment near the barracks.
But people are coming to attack, and they can't help but fight.
There were more than 3,000 people in this puppet army, all of whom were cavalry, and they came from Qianjiadian. Qianjiadian is sixty miles west of Tongliao City, which is the military camp of the puppet army. The puppet army set out from Qianjiadian, crossed the Xiliao River to the north, and attacked the troops on the north bank of the river.
Soon after crossing the river, I saw the newly cultivated land in the distance. I didn't see anyone, but it was definitely not far away.
This puppet army did not leave the local area at all, although I heard that the Xing'an Division was annihilated by the Eighth Route Army last year, but at that time, because the cavalry was on the train, the combat effectiveness could not be brought into play, if they really opened a fight to fight, they could beat the cavalry? What's more, I heard that the Eighth Route Army that came was not a Mongolian column, not a cavalry, and it was not our opponent.
After walking a short distance, he was about to go up to a ridge in front of him, and shouted from the other side: "Stop." We are troops! The Mongols do not fight the Mongols, the Chinese do not fight the Chinese! "I'll shoot before I do." There are Chinese and Mongolian dialects.
The other party's shouting aroused the emotions of the puppet army: this is a very weak army, if it is a strong army, why shout? It seems that the Japanese are right.
Suddenly a shot was fired from the other side.
The gunfire was very sparse, and even the bandits used to shoot more than them, not even machine guns. That's the small troops. Charge!
Although the Japanese officers wanted everyone to charge, the soldiers felt that something was wrong, and almost every shot someone would fall off their horses, picking the Japanese officers to hit and the people who rushed in front to fight. The men in the vanguard were all dead, and only one horse at the front was left.
Who is so powerful, so far away, and so accurate.
The terror spread.
The other side fired a special shot at the Japanese officers, and after a while, almost all the Japanese officers died, and all the Japanese regiment commanders were killed.
The team became even more frightened, and without the restraint of the Japanese, many began to retreat.
The other side began to shout again: "You have been surrounded, surrender!" Shoot or kill! ”
There are a lot of people shouting that they will not shoot, and many of the voices are not in authentic Mongolian. The sound of shouting came from the north, east, and west.
Really surrounded.
A small group of puppet troops ran south, and some of the others, seeing it, also began to run south. The large army was carried by these men and quickly ran southward, and in a short time, the whole army was running.
Some of the puppet soldiers looked back and found that there were also people chasing after them, and they were also cavalrymen. The terror has grown.
After a while, they arrived at the Liao River, and the troops crossed the river regardless of the depth of the water and the shallowness of the water. Halfway through the river crossing, the south bank suddenly shouted: "Surrender!" Shoot or kill! "Get down!" "Surrender and lie down!" Then, when shots rang out, several officers who were running in front were knocked off their horses, and some of the horses were left unridden and stopped running and running. Others dragged the corpses forward.
The puppet army is no longer afraid, it is fear. Although the gunfire on the opposite side was not dense, there were many people killed, and after a while, dozens of people had died. What is even more terrifying is that there is only the sound of gunshots, but no one is there.
The dozens of puppet soldiers who fled first surrendered.
More and more are surrendering.
A small half did not surrender, crossed the river, ran east along the river bank, ran to the Qianjiadian barracks, ran not far, the north bank of the West Liao River gunfire was loud, and people continued to fall off their horses. Fortunately, the people on the North Shore did not chase after them.
The fleeing puppet army saw that there were people on the north bank, so they had to go south, away from the river bank, and then turned south and ran to Qian's shop. After running for a long time, he gradually got rid of the pursuers, and the officer who led the team looked back, and many people had run away, and he only had more than a thousand people.
The horses were already tired, so the puppet army had to speed down the horses, and the front was the Qian's shop, and the barracks were not far away.
At this time, I didn't know that a shot was suddenly fired there. The division commander, who was surrounded in the middle, was hit and planted at once.
One of the guards had sharp eyes, thinking it was a shot fired from a pile of grass on the edge of a ridge to the south. But if you look closely, there are no people, just two piles of grass.
He didn't have time to look at it because everyone was running.
Wang Santai won more with less, captured more than 600 people, and killed more than 200 people. On the way to escape from the puppet army, one of Wan Quance's troops who cleared the land killed one or two hundred people, and in addition, the reconnaissance unit also killed a big commander, who is not clear.
The most important thing is the hundreds of war horses captured, and in the Mongolian steppe, war horses are always the most important.
Three days later, several Mongolian puppet army officers in Qianjiadian concealed from the Japanese and sent people to make peace, asking the Eighth Route not to attack them, and they also allowed the Eighth Route to move.
At this time, Wang Santai had already surrounded the barracks and arrested hundreds of puppet soldiers who had returned after running away. Wang Santai demanded that they hand over 1,000 war horses, 1,000 guns, 1,000 sabers, and 200,000 rounds of ammunition, and that they should notify the Eighth Route in advance of their activities in Tongliao in the future. Only when these conditions were agreed did we withdraw our troops. Also, if the Japanese stop us, we can help you take them out.
Although there were still nearly 3,000 people in the barracks, they were completely suppressed by the troops outside. Coupled with the black guns that I don't know where, several Japanese officers were killed, and the Japanese officers did not dare to go out.
The commander Batmara Butan was in Zhengjiatun, and the deputy commander here was killed again, and several regiment commanders discussed for a long time, and decided to agree to the conditions of the Eighth Road, and quietly sent out the war sabers and bullets, and said that the battle was damaged to the above.
The next night, Wang Santai got the war horse and grabbed it, fulfilled his promise, and withdrew the army. Since then, the name of the Eighth Road has spread all over the grassland, and the more it spreads, the more it spreads, the more it is said, there are eight roads and five miles away to kill the deputy army commander with one shot, and 100 people break 10,000 garrisons. Wait a minute
In the past few days, the government has been established, and a large group of Mongolian youths have gone around to publicize the policy, and they have also spent money to hire a few rap artists to spread the policy everywhere, so that everyone can farm land, let everyone open up wasteland, let everyone plant trees, let everyone do sanitation, let everyone build toilets, centralized management of feces, and let everyone eliminate rats.
Soon, the anti-Japanese government introduced a new policy, two cents a piece, to buy dead mice. It is said to prevent the plague. They said well that the plague should be eradicated, the incidence of plague should be reduced, and the people of Mongolia should be benefited.
At first, the Mongols did not believe in it, two cents? Six or seven dead rats will be exchanged for an egg. Where in the world is there such a good thing? What is morbidity?
A few children caught a few mice, and sure enough, they exchanged money.
In fact, the anti-Japanese government bought rats and just burned the dead rats. It's weird. Can this also be curative?
You're lagging behind. It is to prevent diseases, not to cure diseases.
The Mongols believed it at once. For a time, the grassland and the river loop were full of rat catchers.
Mongolians can hunt, it is not easy to catch mice, some people can catch dozens of them a day, it is easy for a family to earn a dollar a day, and the most family gets three yuan and five cents, the reason is that small mouse cubs are also counted.
A large number of rats were burned through the fire, and thick smoke billowed from it.
The sheep ticket was spent like a stream. Half of the money was quickly spent. Many people began to worry, afraid that the money would be lost and dishonest to others, and some were distressed, the money was spent, the rats were bought back, and they were burned, which was burning money.
After a few days, the number of rats handed in dropped dramatically. The rats in the neighborhood were basically caught, and many people ran to the distant grassland to dig up mice. Prairie rats are yellow rats and are the main rodents that infect plague.
The anti-Japanese government introduced a new measure, the Mongols came to the newly cultivated fields to plant autumn vegetables, and the income of the first year was all your own, and only 20% of the public grain was paid later. The anti-Japanese government was responsible for providing seeds and teaching agriculture for two years later.
With the example of rats, and the Japanese were scared, the Japanese in the nearby towns were arrested, and they heard that the anti-Japanese government had a good reputation, and the herdsmen began to believe that farming had become rich, and some people took the initiative to come to the anti-Japanese government and asked to learn how to farm. Many of the herdsmen here are already good at farming, but their income is not high, and when they heard that the anti-Japanese government has new seeds, many people come to try it.
Later, the scope of the anti-Japanese government expanded, and every time a new place was opened, the first thing was to spend money to buy rats to burn, the purpose of which was to establish credibility and eradicate the plague.
For the sake of Mongolia, the Japanese implemented two policies, one was to offer privileges and the other was to offer Mongolia.
Privilege offering was a measure to deprive the Mongol princes of their feudal privileges, while Mongol offering was a measure to deprive them of land. The Japanese deprived the Mongol princes of their own delicate methods, allowing them to write to the puppet Manchu emperor and hand over their privileges and land by themselves. In addition, the puppet Manchurian government also took out money from the land revenue to compensate them, which was actually a ransom.
The Japanese did this mainly because they saw the confusion in land relations and affected the income of land. Most of these areas are places where the Japanese promote ** cultivation.
This has made it easier for the Democratic Alliance. The Democratic Alliance only had to take the land from the Japanese, and once they got the land, they didn't offend any of the locals.
In the beginning, a few old nobles came out and demanded that the land be taken back. The Democratic Alliance said: Yes, as long as you hand over the money that the Japanese gave you. No one wants to. The Democratic Alliance said: Now that we are investigating the issue of traitors, don't go, and tell the story of oppressing the Mongolian and Han people on behalf of the Japanese.
At the beginning, Xiaolu also wanted to find a few princes to be friends and engage in a united front, but he was disappointed, and almost all the princes fell, either as figures of the Japanese puppet regime or as figures of Mongolian independence.
The anti-Japanese people's government simply confiscated the land from the Japanese and distributed it to the herdsmen. If the princes want to return to the land, they will either offend the herdsmen and the anti-Japanese people's government, or simply shut up.
The Democratic Alliance Army marched into Tongliao and reclaimed the land, and the newly opened land was adjacent to the existing land. Almost all of the existing land is planted, and now it is the flowering season, which is extraordinarily charming.
For **, everyone's attitudes have diverged, some want to destroy it directly, some don't want to do it, and don't want to fall out with ordinary people. The cultivation of ** is rented from the hands of the Japanese Colonization Society, and if ** is destroyed, they will have no way to live.
In the end, the path is clapped and not ruined. After the Japanese paid, they seized and destroyed the Japanese **, and they were not allowed to leave the country, and no one was allowed to continue planting**.
July 31, 1940. Tongliao.
Xiaolu summoned a meeting and said, "The special combat team and I will go south to Rehe immediately." Let's see what happens, and we'll take a look at it. ”
Wan Quance said: "It cost tens of thousands of yuan to buy rats, and the price is too great. There is not enough money. ”
Zhao Ziqiang said: "Adjust some sheep tickets." We, the anti-Japanese government, must talk and count. It also takes a lot of money to hire Mongols to open up wasteland and plant trees. ”
Xiaolu said: "Ask Li Sen to transfer a batch of sheep tickets, and in addition, ask him to open up the trade route as soon as possible and transport our goods to sell, which will make money." The money we send out will come back, and this is called circulation. ”
Wan Quance said: "The sheepskin and cowhide here are very cheap, I think we can buy them in large quantities to make leather clothes, and the army can survive the winter." ”
"That's a good idea. I heard that the almonds of Kailu are good and can be purchased and used as military rations. Food is very expensive here, and we can make money by transporting some grain. This year, we have to earn back the money for the rat eradication. ”
Wang Santai said: "How do I feel that a few profiteers have infiltrated our meeting?" ”
Xiaolu said: "How is it a profiteer?" We exterminate rats and prevent the plague, what a good thing. In addition, I have a few big patterns that I put forward for everyone to discuss. ”
Wang Santai said: "What kind of big pattern? ”
Xiaolu said: "First, to occupy the county seat of Hung Yen Province, nominally it can not be occupied, but in essence it must be occupied, that is, let the Mongols secretly communicate with us and empty the local Japanese. Especially Khoringol, where there is great wealth, there are coal mines. ”
Wang Santai said: "This pattern is big enough. Just send one battalion to one place. ”
Xiaolu said: "Second, in the future, we will open several large potato and sweet potato distilleries here, and sell the liquor to Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union." On the border of Mongolia, the weather is cold in many places, and there is only one way to grow potatoes and cabbage. Potatoes, liquor, money. ”
Wang Santai said: "It's still a profiteer." ”
Xiao Lu said: "Without me as a profiteer, I will see where your guns and bullets come from." Third, organize the transportation of grain, weapons, ammunition and other materials along the road of Inner Mongolia to the south to Rehe in preparation for war. Let's boost the morale of the anti-Japanese people. ”
Wang Santai was overjoyed and said, "I like profiteers. In the past six months, the war has been bits and pieces, and it is not happy. ”
Wan Quance said: "We are all expanding the army and clearing the wasteland, only you have a war, and you are not satisfied." The strategic direction of our column is the South! You can't do this without me. ”

1. Inner Mongolia is the hardest hit area of the plague. The specific cure for plague is streptomycin.
2. During the puppet Manchurian period, the Japanese once invited many Mongolian princes to Tokyo. A prince of Jilin saw that the trees in Tokyo were not used for fire, and he called it a pity.
3. The encumbrance of privileges and the enshrinement of land are examples of land redemption and the high concentration of land in the hands of a few. In the fifties, Taiwan engaged in similar actions.
4. Grazing is ecologically destructive. If there were no grazing, the carpet-like slopes would have been forested, and the birds would have flown in the trees, and there would not have been so many rats, and there would have been fewer plagues. Grazing plus rats equals plague. Grazing coupled with climatic factors equals desertification. Grazing coupled with wind equals soil erosion. Fortunately, the cultivated areas are mostly in the plains, the ecology is not fragile, and the agricultural areas are not so desperate for trees, and the environment in the agricultural areas is better than that in the pastoral areas.
