Chapter 761: Broken Clothes Belt, Uneven Length, Old Soup

Originally, Tang Enbo did not think that the Japanese army would be able to attack Henan, because the situation in Shanxi, Hebei Province had changed, and how could the Japanese army attack without a rear? Unexpectedly, the Japanese army took the northern part of Jiangsu, southern Lunan, and Henan as a base, and attacked Henan desperately, not only echoing the Japanese army in Shanxi, but also defeating all the troops in the first theater.

Tang Enbo actually knew in his heart that as long as the Japanese army was fought, he would definitely lose. Don't say anything else, just talk about the number of troops, the situation of their own army eating empty salaries, even I don't know myself, 400,000 in name, how much is actually there? The Japanese said that there were 200,000 troops, and some said that 150,000 were real troops.

Although the Japanese army in Shanxi was eaten by the Eighth Route and the Northeast Allied Army when they approached Henan, the Japanese gained a foothold in their first theater of operations, and then, the Japanese army attacked from the north and south, defeated the fifth theater, and connected Henan and Hubei together.

But it's okay, he was transferred to Guiyang, and the south is based on the Japanese army. Unfortunately, Zhang Fakui's Fourth Theater was driven straight into by the Japanese army, and almost simultaneously captured Guilin, the capital of Guangxi Province, and Liuzhou, an important town. The Japanese army waved its army north, and Guizhou was not protected. What to do?

Look at these units of the group army, including Shi Jue's 13th Army, Yang Gancai's 20th Army, Sun Yuanliang's 29th Army, and Mu Tingfang's 94th Army. Sun Yuanliang's troops were sent to Duyun Dushan, but Sun Yuanliang was far less fast than before, and the army moved slowly, on the grounds that a large number of refugees from the north blocked the way along the way.

Nonsense, isn't it so difficult to evacuate refugees and fight Japan?

He discussed countermeasures with Zhang Zhizhong.

Zhang Zhizhong said: "If the enemy comes, it cannot be defended, and if the enemy does not come, it can be defended." "Some people say it's nonsense, and some people criticize it as fearing the enemy, but I agree with that.

The countermeasure was to let Sun Yuanliang's troops go to Duyun Dushan, let Shi Jue burn Guiyang, and carry out a scorched earth war of resistance, while others were ready to fight guerrilla warfare, and they were ready to destroy traffic.

A telegram to the old man has been sent, first burning my headquarters Wumingtang, and then the provincial government.

This time, two people quit.

One is Ping Gang, who relied on himself to be a veteran of Xinhai, former secretary general of Sun Yat-sen, and a native of Guiyang, came to the door, pointed at Zhang Zhizhong's nose and scolded: "You just burned Changsha, and you came to burn our Guiyang?" I think you're a traitor."

The second turned out to be Shi Jue. Shi Jue was reluctant to burn the house in Guizhou, for fear that he would take a drunken road in the future. At the beginning, he set fire to Changsha, but was shot dead, and he was clearly a scapegoat. He didn't do it, and said that the burning of Guiyang should be done by the 94th Army. The commander of the 94th Army, Mu Tingfang, was a native of Guizhou, and it was easier to burn down his house, and he would rather take the 13th Army to the front line to resist the Japanese army.

When the matter became so serious, the chairman of the NPC National Committee sent He Yingqin to sit in Guiyang, and also sent Foreign Minister Zhang Daofan to take charge of Guizhou party affairs and Minister of Civil Affairs Gu Zhenggang to take charge of Guizhou's government affairs. These three people are all from Guizhou, and letting Guizhou people burn houses in Guizhou should be more humane, and the method of burning houses should be gentle, and it should be smoother.

Some people felt that the army should be taken to the south and fought a decisive battle with the Japanese army.

I didn't do it, I was worried that I would lead the enemy to chase after me because of defeat, and I would rather retreat when the Japanese army was approaching, rather than fight, otherwise if I was defeated, Chongqing would really be in danger.

Speaking of burning houses, Dushan and Duyun are very nimble, Dushan has the fourth branch of the Central Military Academy, the artillery school, and the signal corps school, and there are more than 15,000 cadets, teachers, and staff. Han Hanying, the chief of education of the fourth branch, also served as the commander of the Dushan garrison, and retreated without waiting for the Japanese army to arrive.

Duyun also burned the house.

Our strategy of burning houses still worked, otherwise how could the Japanese army stop advancing? Will Sun Yuanliang, a person who escaped and has the title of Flying General, take advantage of it?

Now, the Japanese army is not advancing, I should make a gesture, lest the credit be robbed by Sun Yuanliang.

Thinking of this, a person came in, and it was his confidant, Quartermaster Zhang Zongkan.

Tang Enbo said: "That thing has been done?" ”

Zhang Zongkan said: "Yes, Ge Tian did things very smoothly this time. Last year, according to your intentions, I asked him to withdraw 100 million fiat currency to buy gold and US dollars, and now he has purchased all of them. In fact, this money was earned back after just buying a small half. ”

Tang Enbo said: "Really? ”

Zhang Zongkan said: "The price of everything in Chongqing has risen, and the price of gold and dollars has risen steadily, and now, our 100 million fiat currency for gold and US dollars has been converted into fiat currency, which is already 100 million Wu 100 million." ”

Tang Enbo said: "You can't ask for fiat currency, and the rest has to be exchanged for gold dollars." ”

Zhang Zongkan said: "That's it." Chongqing's fiscal revenue is getting lower and lower, so it has to print money, and one-tenth of the money from the United States is used to print money in the United States, and the Hump route is airplane by plane to transport money back. Is that money still money? ”

Tang Enbo said: "In the future, this matter must be handled properly, don't let people know that I did it, and in the name of the group army, the quartermasters of other armies should do it together." If the old man finds out, we'll have plenty of room to maneuver. In addition, the money allows the lady to participate in the management. ”

Zhang Zongkan understood that this was to see that everything was going well, and Tang Enbo asked his wife to take care of the money, obviously to get his hands on it, and said, "Yes." Got it. Several groups of people have already investigated us, and of course, they have reached out to us and said that someone asked him to investigate us. After giving the gold bars, the wind calmed down. ”

Tang Enbo said: "The military budget left over last time can be used to buy a house." It's time for your family to enjoy it too. ”

Zhang Zongkan said: "Thank you, sir." "Zhang Zongkan does things for the chief, the chief gives you benefits, you have to take it. Otherwise, how can I trust you?

There is a group of people who work hard for Townenburg, which is one of Townenbo's skills. He tied the interests of these people to himself. When he was in Henan, he did business on his own and encouraged his subordinate officers to do business.

Tang Enbo said: "Very good. I'm doing business in partnership with Dai Li, and he won't check me seriously. ”

Zhang Zongkan said: "That's also true."

Tang Enbo said: "Dai Li appointed Liu Yizhou, the head of the Henan station, as the director of the Henan anti-smuggling department, Liu Honglie, the instructor of the Lanxun class, as the director of the anti-smuggling department of Gansu, Wang Kongan, the deputy director of the Lanxun class, as the director of the anti-smuggling department of Ningxia, Liao Zongze, the head of Chuankang District, as the director of the anti-smuggling department of Sichuan Province, and Qiao Jiacai, the head of the southeast station of Jindong, as the director of the anti-smuggling department of Shaanxi Province. He took the Central Plains as the center and controlled the five provinces of Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, and Ning. Sent his cronies Zhang Shuxun and Wang Zhaohuai as the directors of the Jieshou Freight Branch, equipped with hundreds of Dodge trucks, running day and night in the middle of the Henan-Shaanxi River Road, rushing to transport the goods, as urgent as a spark. Want to check me? Can you? Everyone makes a fortune together. ”

Zhang Zongkan: "There is one more thing, there is still a batch of counterfeit banknotes. Now it's not Henan, I can't make a move, and it's a little troublesome. ”

The counterfeit banknotes were printed in large quantities in the Chongqing Silk Reeling Factory by Song Ziwen, and were continuously transported to Luoyang for safekeeping and use by Zhang Yanfo, director of the Investigation and Ruling Office of the First War Zone. After that, the capital for going deep into the enemy-occupied areas to purchase and rush supplies, the spy funds for the various stations and groups in the border areas, and the expenses for bribing traitor generals were all spent on the counterfeit banknotes that arrived in a steady stream. Townenburg still has a lot in his hands.

Tang Enbo said: "Since there is trouble, deal with it." If it is not easy to deal with, it will be stored secretly for the time being. ”

Zhang Zongkan said: "Recently, Guizhou has been tight, and some people want to sell their houses at a low price. They didn't know that the battle situation in Dushan was favorable, and they wanted to make a move. You see? ”

"Now it seems that it is only a matter of time before the Japanese are defeated, by the Americans. At the moment, when the Japanese arrived in Dushan, they could no longer move. The market is not good now, and it will inevitably rise back in the future. It is possible to buy. Buy a few sets and throw them away. Don't let the above know that you did it. The house is worthless in these troubled times, and it can't be held in your hands all the time, and it's easy to get into trouble. ”

Although Tang Enbo was afraid of the Japanese, it was because he was afraid of losing his strength, but his vision was extremely high, and his observation of the current situation was very accurate. His greatest ability is to figure out people's hearts. The successful speculation of Chen Yi's mind brought him the first step into the political arena. The successful speculation of Lao Jiang's mind brought him huge profits.

He had long seen clearly that the defeat of the Japanese would be a matter of time.

Zhang Zongkan said: "I see." "I praise in my heart: good vision. What a natural businessman. However, if you can't say this, how can you praise a general and say that he is doing a good job.

Good business vision is Tang Enbo's greatest ability. In Henan, if you want to be the king of Henan, the little military spending sent above is not enough. In business, a lot of the money earned goes into military spending.

Tang Enbo said: "There is one more thing, that is, those hundreds of wooden sailing ships and fireboats on the Shaying River, whose hands are they now?" ”

Zhang Zongkan thought in his heart that it was really the king of Hades who was not too thin, and said: "My subordinates don't know the exact news, and it is said that they are controlled by the New Fourth Army." ”

Tang Enbo's face was full of heartache and said: "During the war, the transportation line is the most profitable with the protection of the troops. It's a pity. Speaking of the New Fourth Army, I heard that there are also communist guerrillas in Dushan? ”

Zhang Zongkan said: "Since the Battle of Songshan, the guerrilla activities have become more and more unscrupulous. ”

Tang Enbo: "I can't mention it, otherwise the military exploits will become the guerrillas of their Communist Party." Didn't Sun Yuanliang fail to report the guerrillas' exploits in the Battle of Songshan? ”

After arranging the money, Tang Enbo said: "Order: we march." Take a few photos. ”

The adjutant brought his torn tunic and put it on, pinching it to wrinkle it; Tie up the torn belt and wear the torn hat; He pulled one of his trouser legs up to his knee and wrapped it all the way around his heel.

After dressing up, Towne left the office. Take a picture and go also.

Being good at shaping one's own image is one of Town's best skills. This is what knows him, thinks he has an amiable image, and doesn't know him, so he thinks that he is a straw bag in war.

******

1. Those who scolded Tang Enbo said that he was ungrateful, and that he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger. But, after all, there are still people who overturn the case for him. This shows that he is very capable. If a straw bale can make it to a general, then it's weird. It's a pity that Lao Tang's skills are not used in the right place. Since betraying his benefactor, Lao Jiang doesn't trust him anymore. He was shrewd, and in order to befriend Lao Jiang, he betrayed his benefactor, and finally ruined his old age. I got so much money that I didn't dare to use it to see a doctor.
