November 29, 1944. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Guizhou, Dushan County.

Zhou Jianchu's troops, nominally called guerrillas, arrived in Dushan County.

The number of Zhou Jianchu's regiment increased rapidly, and it was divided into two two days ago, and Brother Qin became their leader. Their regiment had a mission, which was to go northwest, take the mountain road, overtake the Japanese army, and go to the area of Dushan County, Guizhou, where they would help the local people transfer and block the Japanese army.

The superiors said that recently, the Japanese army has occupied more and more places, and tens of thousands of troops are needed to leave a hundred troops in each county town. At present, the large forces of the Japanese army are going to fight Nanning and other places, and the number of Japanese troops coming to the direction of Guizhou is insufficient. If the Japanese army can't continue to march, then we will fight them well near Dushan County.

After running on the mountain road for several days, the troops arrived in Dushan County two days ahead of the Japanese army. These two places were originally only 170 miles along the railway, but it took four days to walk on the mountain road. Even so, they went faster than the Japanese army and arrived at Dushan earlier.

This railway is called the Qiangui Railway, and the construction began in the summer of 1939 due to the needs of the Anti-Japanese War. Because of the chaotic management, bandits are rampant, and the project is intermittent. At the end of 1940, the section of the Jincheng River from Liuzhou to Hechi was completed. By 1944, the railway was built to the Taipo section of Duyunqing in Guizhou.

In other words, it's a new railway.

Because of the Japanese attack on Guizhou, Guangxi, the construction of the project was suspended. However, the section that has been built has become a golden passage for refugees to flee to Guizhou.

Descending from the mountain road, and approaching the vicinity of the county seat, the procession crossed the ridge to the valley through which the railway passed. Railways and roads run along the valley to Pingba in the north, which is Dushan County.

Zhou Jianchu was shocked, the road was full of fleeing people.

When the Japanese army invaded China, the population of the wealthy areas on the southeast coast fled to the interior, and on the way to escape, some of the refugees had a temporary prosperity, known as Little Shanghai.

There is more than one small Shanghai. Dushan County in Guizhou is also one of the small Shanghais.

As long as the outsiders come, and the people fleeing from other places come, then this place will become a small Shanghai. Where does a person who has no money in his pocket dare to flee? When they arrived at a place, they wanted to eat, drink, and stay, and the local people knew the opportunity to make money, so they took grain, vegetables, and dry food from all over the country and eight neighbors to sell. It is rare for people in the mountains to make money, but now it is so easy to make a lot of money.

This is what wartime deformed prosperity means, and most of the towns along the escape route have experienced this.

Shanghai, in this era, in Asia, more than Tokyo, more than Hong Kong, more than any other city, is a cultural center, a fashion center, a financial center, an economic center. Shanghai, that's synonymous with dreams. If there is a place where the economy is prosperous and particularly fashionable, it is Little Shanghai.

Refugees are a very special phenomenon in this era, refugees often have some money, and people who are extremely poor do not flee with their families. Refugees are knowledgeable, and they tend to be in the middle and upper echelons of society. Of course, they are not the top elites, so they can only choose the most advanced means of mass transportation of this era, such as trains, long-distance buses.

However, these means of transport are often intermittent, and in some hubs, refugees have to stay. So, for this hub, which was originally very remote and remote, prosperity came. Soon, the title of Little Shanghai spread far and wide.

In the early years of the Anti-Japanese War, Dushan was an important rear base of the Anti-Japanese War, with some foreign institutions, foreign schools, military garrisons, and military material warehouse bases. Because of these institutions and schools, the officials here are very high-ranking officials, and the county magistrate is nothing compared to them.

After arriving in Dushan, the guerrillas stayed overnight on a farm a few dozen miles away from the county seat.

November 30th. Dushan County.

Zhou Jianchu's troops arrived at the county seat early in the morning.

Zhou Jianchu was surprised. He was already very clear about the guerrillas' skills, but he didn't expect that there were guerrillas at night in Guizhou. The farm provides them with food and gives them guides. Zhou Jianchu asked the platoon commander, and the platoon commander told him that we did it ourselves when we were on the farm. Now, many local villages have their own people, and the Self-Defense Forces are all their own people.

The Self-Defense Forces are guerrillas who defend their homeland.

The task of one of Zhou Jianchu's companies was to maintain order in Dushan County and remove the materials abandoned by the government. The superiors demanded that it was better to lose supplies than to formally exchange fire with the Japanese. Other troops were to set up ambushes in suitable terrain and strike at the Japanese.

When Regiment Commander Qin was mobilized last night, he said that our task was to let go of the vanguard of the Japanese army and then strike at the follow-up units of the Japanese army. You must handle the affairs of Dushan County well.

The guide led them to the county seat and led them to a local self-defense unit. Zhou Jianchu's task was to be in charge of guarding with several people, maintaining order, and raising the alarm in time if he saw the Japanese entering the city.

At this time, there was already a fire in the county.

The captain of several self-defense forces working with them is called Jiang Yuebo, who is from Yaolu. Their post was in the south of Dushan Castle, which was the only way for the Japanese to enter the city. According to the company commander, the others mainly maintain order, there are a lot of people moving things, and several self-defense units are moving things.

Zhou Jianchu was at the southern end of the county, and there was nothing to do with the base arc, so they started chatting, and soon became familiar with Jiang Yuebo.

Jiang Yuebo, the captain of the Yaolu Self-Defense Force, and his team members have been working in the south of Dushan County for half a day.

A year ago, Dushanyi brought some people to the countryside to publicize the anti-Japanese resistance.

Dushan County is on the main transportation route, and there are many outsiders who have fled, and most of them stay for a day or two and then leave, but these outsiders who propagate anti-Japanese resistance cannot stay. Because some of them were locals, they quickly gained trust. Since last fall, they have also brought in a company to reclaim hundreds of acres of terraced fields. For a small amount of money, these people bought barren slopes, used explosives to open mountain roads, and hired locals to build terraces. The locals have also built terraces, but they have never seen such large-scale terraces.

In the spring, the people of Fuxian Company planted seedlings in the terraced fields, and in the summer, they got a bumper harvest, and in the autumn, the autumn vegetables in the terraced fields got a bumper harvest. Soon, they were building small dams on small rivers in the valley, building water mills, installing machines, and processing rice grains.

The people are curious, come to visit, and everyone is very welcome to come and see. Where have the people ever seen such a high yield, let alone such a grain processing method. Guizhou has little flat land, the people are poor, and when you see such a rich road, you can still use the water mill for free, how can you not like it?

Local tour with a lot of bandits.

Because there were often passing troops and even Americans along the railway, bandits did not dare to go to the railway to rob refugees. Fuxian Company made money in the mountains and became a fat sheep, and after the first harvest, it began to rob bandits.

The point is that the Fuxian company has its own guards, and it has guns. The guards are all veterans, and they are very powerful, and the local toasts are afraid of them. As soon as the bandits came, the people who didn't want the company would have stung these bandits a long time ago, and with the help of the locals, they vigorously destroyed several large bandits, and after the rest of the small bandits captured the bandit leader, the bandits dispersed.

Solved the problem of local bandits, their local prestige is higher.
