The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 9, the second section, the battle after the war

"The 31st Army is not three armies but four, and some troops are not five, .qВ5, C0m/" Zhuang Jihua's calm rebuttal made Tang Enbo suffocated, he forgot that the 12th Army was assigned to his command before the war.

Tang Enbo snorted softly and turned his head to look at the situation on the other side. On both sides of the Yellow River, both sides have adopted the same defensive methods, both of which are retreating defenses, and only a small part of the troops deployed in the front are only responsible for surveillance, and the real main forces are seven or eight miles away from the river bank.

"Order the commanders and above of all armies to go to Zhengzhou immediately, and we will have a meeting to discuss how to relieve the refugees in Henan." This was not said to Tang Enbo, but to the palace embroidery painting behind him: "Telegraph the situation in Henan to the troops of the original Fifth Theater, and order them to save half of the military rations and send them to Henan immediately; The telegram was sent to the Nationalist Government and the Military Commission that the famine in Henan was far beyond imagination, and that in order to stabilize the political situation in Henan, it was necessary to immediately allocate 1 million stone of relief grain and another 200,000 stone of seed grain. ”

Zhuang Jihua picked up the pen and added a sentence after a pause: "Those who disturb the people will be severely punished."

Then he threw down the pen, turned to Tang Enbo and said, "Deputy Commander Tang, let's go to the east of the city to have a look." ”

Zhengzhou, which has just been recovered, is full of excited people, even in such joy, it still can't hide the gloom brought by the famine, the city is full of people asking for food, they are scattered all over the city with their families, curled up in the streets and alleys, and many little girls with yellow faces and thin muscles have grass marks on their heads, shivering in the spring breeze.

Zhengzhou was not greatly damaged by the fighting, and Gu Shoufu evacuated Zhengzhou almost peacefully, but even so, the southeast of the city was also damaged, seven or eight jeeps with two black Ford sedans passed through this block, and pedestrians on the street looked sideways, it was obvious that this was an important person on patrol.

The leading jeep turned a street, and when it reached Datong Street, where the damage was most severe, the convoy stopped, and the soldiers in the jeep quickly jumped out of the car, and soon formed a cordon around it, but Zhuang Jihua and Tang Enbo had already pushed the car door.

Half of the street was destroyed by artillery fire and the other half was also affected, and most of the local residents have fled the street during the fighting, leaving behind the broken walls as a natural settlement for the victims.

Tang Enbo was a little irritable, after a big war, how many things were waiting for him to do in the troops, recruiting recruits, ammunition replenishment, the danger of lack of food, and those puppet government personnel who had defected to the Japanese must also be liquidated, even if the Zhengzhou Municipal Government under his feet must be rebuilt. But he was dragged around by Zhuang Jihua, and the disaster relief and disaster relief can be handed over to the provincial government.

Just as he was casually looking around, Zhuang Jihua had already walked towards the little girl hiding among the bricks. With so many people coming at once, the little girl looked very frightened, turned around and ran inside.

It was not a complete house, two-thirds of the roof remained, a large hole in the back wall, there was no door in front, but two or three openings were opened, the yard was a mess, there was a stove in one corner of the room, there was a crockpot on it, two men were staring at the bubbling smoking jars, and seven or eight people were sitting or squatting in the small courtyard.

When the room suddenly poured into so many officers in strict uniforms, the people in the room were a little deserted, and they involuntarily stood up and leaned together.

After entering the door, a rancid smell mixed with the smell of rancid hair came to his face, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything, walked to the crockpot, picked up the spoon and stirred it in, there was basically no rice, it could be seen that it was a vegetable leaf, and I didn't know what it was, slimy.

Zhuang Jihua put down the spoon, stood up and stretched out his hand to beckon the little girl to come over, the little girl looked like she was seven or eight years old, shrunk beside a middle-aged man, Zhuang Jihua walked over and squatted, faced the little girl, and asked softly: "***, where are you?" ”

The little girl's little hand tightly pulled the corner of the middle-aged man's clothes, looked up at him nervously, and the middle-aged man replied in a deep voice: "Sir, we are all from Xiaozhangzhuang, it has not rained for more than half a year, the crops are all drought, the devil collected the grain, and took all the grain, there is really no way, so I have to escape." ”

Gong Xiu drew it, took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket and handed them to the little girl, the little girl hesitated, reached out to take it, then turned around and ran to the side, and gave it to a little boy next to her.

Zhuang Jihua sighed softly: "What a sensible child," looked at the people in the room, and asked the middle-aged man: "You are all from the same village?" ”

"Yes, sir," said the middle-aged man, "our whole village has come out to flee the famine, and when we came out, there were more than sixty people, and now these are all left." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't ask again, he didn't believe it, there would be a village where all the people came out to flee, could it be that there were only more than 60 people in a village? Tang Enbo interjected at this time: "Commander, you don't know Henan, the whole village will not choose one direction to escape from the famine, they are all divided into several waves, some to Zhengzhou, some to Nanyang, southeast and northwest, everyone catches lots, catches that side, and pushes a leader per share, so in this place of Henan, the people are strong and very grouped." ”

When Zhuang Jihua stirred the jar just now, he was really startled, he was really afraid that Zhuang Jihua would let everyone eat a bowl, but fortunately such a terrible thing did not happen.

More than sixty, Zhuang Jihua took a look, there were still seven or eight in the room, and it was self-evident that the rest went there.

"Didn't you go out, haven't you come back yet?" Gong Xiuhua asked softly.

"Third uncle, they haven't come back yet, and even if they do, there will only be a dozen of them." The middle-aged man said in a low voice.

Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything more, sighed lowly, turned around and went out, Wu Ziniu gave the guard next to him a look, the guard turned around and went out, and moved a box of biscuits from the car into the house.

When Zhuang Jihua came out, he was surprised to see a group of well-dressed people standing on the street. Gong Xiuhua hurriedly leaned over and whispered: "This is an official of the Zhengzhou puppet government, as well as a member of the Xinmin Business Association." ”

The Xinmin Business Association is one of the most important organizations under the Xinmin Association, which was organized and established after the Japanese occupied North China as a tool organization to support the Japanese invasion of China.

Seeing Zhuang Jihua come out, the group of people immediately greeted him, and the one in the lead was about forty years old, wearing a brand-new robe, but combing his big back, and introduced himself with a smile on his face: "Commander Zhuang, the contemptible person is Zhong Chengxiang, the deputy mayor of Zhengzhou City, I don't know Commander Zhuang, Deputy Commander Tang drove into the city, greeted the late, and asked for forgiveness." ”

Zhuang Jihua's eyes rolled, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "There, there, I didn't notify everyone in advance, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

Seeing Zhuang Jihua's attitude, Zhong Chengxiang breathed a sigh of relief, their identities are embarrassing now, Zhengzhou has been restored, how will the national government deal with these traitors who have defected to the enemy? No one was sure, so as soon as they heard that Zhuang Jihua had entered the city, they all came over.

"The commander is too modest," Zhong Chengxiang hurriedly replied: "Commander Zhuang's name is like thunder, from Nanjing to Xuzhou to Burma, he has won every battle, wiped out hundreds of thousands of Japanese robbers, and is the Yue Wumu of the present generation." ”

"Haha, Mr. is overrated." Zhuang Jihua laughed loudly, and the palace embroidery painting next to him also showed a smile, Tang Enbo frowned slightly, Zhuang Jihua fought even a victory, there have long been rumors among the people, saying that he is the reincarnation of Yue Wumu, specially designed to kill the Japanese invaders, with the victory of northern Hubei Province, this rumor is spreading more and more, and it is more and more divine.

Tang Enbo snorted softly, but Zhuang Jihua's eyes swept at him, he immediately shut up, and this action was immediately grabbed by Zhong Chengxiang, who was carefully observing Zhuang Jihua, and his heart became more relaxed.

"The two commanders are coming to Zhengzhou, it is too dilapidated here, and we will set up a banquet in the Tianfu Tower in the city to wash the dust for the two commanders." In a relaxed mood, Zhong Chengxiang's tone of speech was smoother.

"Okay, that's going to be tiring." Zhuang Jihua nodded, Zhong Chengxiang was even more happy, and hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way, and those people behind him hurriedly got out of the way and walked to the side of the car, Zhuang Jihua stretched out his hand to call Zhong Chengxiang over, and warmly invited him to take a car with him.

Of course Zhong Chengxiang would not refuse, and he did not dare to refuse, Wu Ziniu would never let him, so Gong Xiuhua took the jeep in front of him instead. The gentry who came with Zhong Chengxiang did not have a car, but they all had rickshaws. So, a jeep rickshaw convoy rushed to Tianfu Tower.

In the car, Zhong Chengxiang was very apprehensive in his heart, he never thought that he would sit next to a theater commander so closely, before the war, he was just a small section chief of the city government, did not withdraw to western Henan with the city government, but stayed, the Japanese came, he did not come out to do things first, it was only later that he came out, and it was not easy to get mixed with the deputy mayor in recent years, but he didn't expect that the Japanese said they would leave and leave, leaving him no room to toss and turn at all.

However, today, it seems that this Commander Zhuang looks pretty good, as if he has no intention of punishing them, but in fact, they came out to do things, and they were also forced by life, and the government's millions of troops could not stop the Japanese, what could they do? However, even if this Commander Zhuang wants to punish them, it will cost some money at most, and they are all prepared for this before coming.

"Vice Mayor Zhong, you are the deputy mayor, what about your mayor?"

When Zhong Chengxiang was thinking nonsense, Zhuang Jihua's words interrupted his thoughts, and he quickly turned his head to Zhuang Jihua and said, "Ah, oh, the commander doesn't know, Mayor Yang is a hardcore traitor, and he followed the devil to the north." ”

"Then why didn't you leave?" Zhuang Jihua looked at him with a smile and asked.

"I am Chinese, my country's army has come back, it's too late to be happy, how can I run, do things for devils, I am forced by life, let's be honest, ** into the city, or I organize the citizens to greet it." Zhong Chengxiang's tone was full of flattery and flattery.

I'm a little late today, so I beg your pardon.
