With three people joining the warband, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed. After only a few shots from the three men, the guerrillas began to flee. The Hook Army began to pursue. Both sides are local natives, both are familiar with the local terrain, and they are evenly matched. In the end, only three escaped, and the others were killed.

It is indeed rare for the guerrillas to fight to the death.

Hu Kejun led the way: "Three, are you looking for us?" Are you the New Fourth Army? ”

Wang Santai said: "Not bad. We were sent by the New Fourth Army. I have nothing to do but ascend to the Three Treasures Palace. Which part are you? ”

The other party arrived: "We are the fourth brigade of the Chinese branch. I'm the captain, my name is Chen Jian. ”

Wang Santai: "I have heard of a big name for a long time. I know how you are operating in this area, how did you get into conflict with the guerrillas? When the guerrillas saw us, they fought to the death. ”

Chen Jian: "Originally, they didn't move here, but when I was beaten away by the Japanese in the previous stage, they came here once. I don't know why they want to take it and drive us out. Our conditions are very difficult, we have finally gained a foothold, and if we have no money, how can we give up here? If they can't talk, they will die. ”

Wang Santai: "I understand. They are now seeing that the US military is coming, and the Japanese will not be able to do it, so they will take the opportunity to grab territory. I have something to discuss with you. ”

Chen Jian: "Please speak. ”

Wang Santai: "We are here to support anti-Japanese activities, and we can't do it without a base. When I heard that there was a large farm for sale, we rushed over: we wanted to develop this farm into a base. What do you think you should do? ”

Chen Jian: "It's not good here. Why don't you go and live in our village? ”

Wang Santai: "We don't want to cause trouble to you, and besides, we want to build a communist demonstration farm." ”

The next day, the 4th Brigade of the Chinese Branch helped them buy a large area of hillside and a large area of flat land. They pay 10% more than others, and the important thing is that the landlords of this large area of land want to run away because they have ties with the Japanese, and they will sell it if they give money, not to mention that there is a lot of money, and it is gold.

That night, three out-of-town guerrillas who had escaped were discovered. Hua Zhi arrested them and interrogated them, saying that the American liaison officer had taken a fancy to this place and wanted them to occupy it.

Soon, Wang Santai's people arrived one after another.

After that, fifty or sixty people ostensibly built a farm and secretly dug a cave, and finally the hole was dug five days later. The mine is very deep, and there are thousands of chests in it. Because it was not safe here, they went out day and night, and it took more than ten days to transport the boxes away to another foothold more than ten kilometers away.

In the following period, Wang Santai stepped up his activities in the Philippines. With the retreat of the Japanese army and the offensive of the American army, they carried out underground activities in various places, and bought a large amount of land in the name of overseas Chinese, or by looking for overseas Chinese as agents. Soon, the gold brought was spent, and he had to take out the gold from the Japanese army's gold cache to buy land.

With their coordination and help, the Hook Army intensified its activities in the shadows, suppressed the activities of some guerrillas, and some people who were close to the United States inexplicably withdrew from politics and even died. In addition, some overseas Chinese in Jinjiang began to buy land on a large scale, and they spent money to bribe officials and some local forces, and soon obtained some land. Because of the good and bad combination of the land obtained, local forces are not rare at all.

Sometimes, some landlords have lost their manor and their estate today, and the next day someone will take the lost money to buy their estate.

What is terrible is that the local forces of the big landlords' families, that is, the original guerrillas, could not protect their masters at all, and they were attacked several times, and there were not many people on the other side, but one shot at a time, one shot at a time. Although these people take the money of the owner, they will not sell their lives to the owner.

Some inconspicuous small landlords were quietly bribed, some large landlords were unwilling to give up, their families were in constant trouble, and many people accused them of colluding with the Japanese and robbing the property of the US military in the Philippines, and so on. After the land was sold at a low price, the trouble gradually disappeared.

As a result, more than a dozen local powerhouses in the Philippines have lost their position and gradually become ordinary people. And the people of the Hook Army became the big landowners. Some of the new landlords are not Hook Army on the surface, who are they? It's mysterious, no one knows. That's an afterword.

March 28, 1945. Shenyang.

The good news of the Philippines was delivered to Xiaolu.

From July last year to the present, Koji has concentrated on doing behind-the-scenes work, and the most visible thing is that he participated in the Yalta meeting. He tried not to speak during the meeting and tried his best to do a good job as a secretary, but at the most critical moment, he and the Chinese generals, together with the American and Soviet officials, finally agreed to China's Asian plan.

Agreeing to China's plan means that China will take the initiative in the future. However, there are two key points in realizing this plan, one is that the Northeast Coalition Army fights well, and the other is that the atomic bomb is successfully developed on time. In addition to providing guidance to the special combat personnel in various localities, Xiaolu concentrated on economic construction in the northeast, developing thermal power and hydroelectric power generation, building reservoirs for irrigation, building roads, building railways, opening mines, cultivating fields, and building factories.

These tasks are extremely trivial for a general, but the achievements are huge. With the increase of electricity, the materials in the Northeast have increased rapidly, and the entire Chinese market, whether it is Yan'an's territory, whether it is the Guotong area, or the Japanese occupation area, other people's products cannot survive.

After the start of the Korean War, Koji's attention was focused on Korea and Japan. He basically did not appear in public in North Korea, but several high-ranking North Korean officials opposed Chairman Wu Ting, and a large number of high-ranking North Korean officials were besieged and beaten by Xiaolu. In addition, Xiaolu also built some urban and rural houses in the name of Wu Ting, and the North Korean civilians all love Chairman Wu and China.

Now the opportunity is ripe for an attack on the South of Korea. North of Pyongyang, all the forces of the Japanese army were wiped out, and the political power was basically consolidated.

At present, China's anti-Japanese situation is both ice and fire, with the north being hot and the south being cold.

The situation in the Philippines is very good, the US military is advancing bravely in the Philippines, and the Japanese army is fighting and leaving.

At this time, the situation in Vietnam changed. The changes in Vietnam have brought some opportunities to southwest China.

1. The Communist Party of the Philippines was founded in 1930. During the Second World War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the Philippines, the Communist Party of the Philippines organized the "Hook Army" (literally translated as the Anti-Japanese People's Army) in 1942 to fight against Japan in guerrilla warfare. After the war, the Philippine government suppressed the left-wing movement with the support of the United States, and the CPP established the People's Liberation Army in 1945, also known as the Hook Army.

2. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the U.S. military and the Philippine authorities suppressed the Philippine Communist Party together. It wasn't until decades later, when China stopped supporting, that they changed course.
