Chapter 722-1 Walking through the mouth of the Huai River

On April 25, 1944, north of the Yangtze River estuary, north of Jiangsu, along the coast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The reeds on the coast here are more lush than those on the shores of the Bohai Sea. Because after the diversion of the Yellow River, a large amount of Yellow River water flows into the sea from here, and there are many newly silted tidal flats here, and the population is sparse. At the beginning, Lao Jiang picked up a mouth at the mouth of the Yellow River Garden, and flooded the Henan people in a short period of time, and later the Yellow River seized the Huai River into the sea, and the people on both sides of the Huai River in northern Jiangsu also suffered a lot.

This is the nature of water, and the water flows downward.

The water of the Yellow River is rich in sediment, and the flow of the river slows down in the lower reaches, and the sediment accumulates over the years, causing the river channel to gradually rise, forming a hanging river on the ground, and the river surface, especially in summer, is higher than the ground on both banks. When something happens to the embankment, the water flows out of the riverbed and into the vast plains.

In order to stop the Japanese troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, Lao Chiang's troops decided to use the water of the Yellow River to stop the Japanese army. I blew up a place first, but the water didn't flow out, and the sediment accumulated, but blocked the opening. Later, an expert who was forced to control the Yellow River found Huayuankou.

Yellow River expert? Right. It has been since the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. During the Republic of China, a committee was established in 1933 to govern the Yellow River. The committee is responsible for the middle and lower reaches of the embankment. The experts are full of local vernacular, and the technical terms they speak are so down-to-earth that decades later, some experts who are accustomed to drinking foreign ink are still reluctant to write the terminology of the Yellow River into their monographs.

Expert guidance is there dangerous, there is safety. In a dangerous place, an ant's nest can cause a catastrophe, and in a safe place, even if the river embankment is destroyed, there will be no immediate accident.

The experts were really powerful, as soon as the mouth was blown up, the river flowed out of the river, the Japanese army was stopped, a large area of farmland and villages on the south bank of the Yellow River was submerged, and tens of millions of people were submerged, homeless, and even lost their lives.

The water of the Yellow River carries sediment, deprives a small river channel, flows southeast, and silts up along the way, forming a huge uninhabited area, called the Yellow Flood Area. It was only after the fifties that the Yellow Flood Area was gradually restored to farmland and restored to farmland.

After unloading sediment in the Yellow Flood Area, the Yellow River water drove forward, flowed through several rivers, crossed several lakes, and encroached on the Huai River channel in northern Jiangsu and entered the Yellow Sea. Every time there is a flood, it has caused the Huai River to be unseemly.

Historically, it was not until 1947 that the mouth of the Yellow River Huayuankou was blocked, and the Yellow River resumed its original course and entered the sea in the Bohai Sea.

Because of this, since the fifties, the control of the Yellow River, the Yellow Flood, and the Huai River has cost the country a lot of manpower, financial and material resources. Millions of people embarked on the construction site of harnessing the Yellow River and the Huai River in winter, and it took decades for the Huai River to be basically brought under control.

Although the Yellow River unloaded a large amount of sediment along the way, the very fine sediment still entered the Yellow Sea with the water, staining the sea water yellow.

At the beginning, the old Chiang government did not admit it, but later admitted it, but it has been disputed. Decades have passed, and the controversy is still being debated. One side believes that it is not appropriate to harm the people; One side believes that the Japanese army was stopped, Henan and even Shaanxi were saved, the.

Now, some Republic of China fans have also begun to support the Huayuankou operation, believing that this action has saved the country.

I believe that these people are not from Henan, and the ancestors of the family are not from the Yellow Flood Area.

Nowadays, the weather here is already very hot, the seaside is lush with reeds, the ravines are dense, the fish fly on the shallow bottom, and all kinds of birds soar in the water meadows. If it weren't for the news of the Great War in the telegram, who would have thought that this was the war years.

The trail did not stop at Qingdao, and after speaking to the Marines for several hours, they sailed south. Daniel Zhang urgently allocated a 100-ton patrol boat to him. The patrol boat was a newly captured Japanese ship, eighty percent new, with good performance, heavy machine guns and small guns, loaded with ample supplies, and a platoon of fighters, which was considered to be a guard for him. The patrol boat left half a day late and quickly caught up.

After leaving Qingdao, the two boats passed by Lianyungang. Lianyungang was the territory of the Eighth Route Army, and only the urban area and the vicinity of the port were not anti-Japanese bases. The ship passed by the channel off the coast of Lianyungang, and from time to time the ship was seen leaving with the Japanese flag flying. Steamers are mostly and there are no escort ships.

The trail told everyone to ignore it and get out of here. One day after they left Lianyungang, Daniel Zhang's navy sailed to Lianyungang and blockaded Lianyungang. The New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu has carried out a major counteroffensive in the past few days, and many Japanese expatriates are retreating. Daniel Zhang's navy arrived and intercepted many Japanese transports.

However, all this had nothing to do with Xiaolu, who commanded his two small boats to move south along the coast, and after crossing the mouth of the Huai River, they did not stop until they reached the north of the mouth of the Yangtze River. Today, his two ships are hiding in the reeds along the northern coast of Jiangsu, and Xiaolu himself is fully focused on liaising with Hong Kong.

It's not far from Shanghai, and the Yangtze River estuary is the Yangtze River estuary when you look at the large yellow water surface in the distance. The mouth of the Yangtze River is the waterway from Shanghai to the sea, and the Japanese army is very tightly controlled here, and the coast here is not a base area.

Xiaoludao is the result of a compromise with Uncle Zhang. There are some guerrillas of the New Fourth Army, there are no stubborn troops, there are no bandits, and they belong to the three-way zone, which is very safe.

Xiaolu felt that this place was very close to Shanghai to confuse others, thinking that his strange radio waves were coming from Shanghai. A lot of people are studying the problem of intelligence leaks, and directing their attention to Shanghai can confuse them for a while longer.

In the past two days, Hong Kong's requests have increased all of a sudden. The reason is simple, German spies in the United States have heard some very interesting information: many Hollywood prop masters have left the United States and gone to England.

The Germans, having analysed these circumstances, clearly perceived something.

Hollywood's many prop makers seemed to be incompatible with the war, but intelligence from Hong Kong mentioned them, and the Germans had to become curious about them. The intelligence from Hong Kong did not provide too much specific information, but continued to provide details that had given the German intelligence analysis a different picture of a deception plan by the Allies in Britain. The prop master's task is obviously to make something fake and deceive the flight reconnaissance.

When verifying these details, German spies in the United States discovered more details.

Historically, in the United States, the military program used to be delivered by civilian mail, and it was only when it was almost lost that this loophole was discovered. Fortunately, there were very few German spies in the United States and they were not discovered.

The difficulties of gathering information in Britain and Ireland were many, the missions could not operate in Ireland, the privileges of diplomatic personnel were abolished, the privileges of diplomatic mail were abolished, and almost no information could be returned.

The Germans also began a screening campaign for spies in Germany, and one of the tests was to ask individual spies to go to Spain or Portugal. As a result, some went, some didn't.

This further aroused the suspicions of German intelligence.

In the past few days, Xiaolu has been sending out some information, all of which are details such as the United States' procurement of military materials, the dispatch of troops, and the remarks of the German spy bureau against the war.
