Chapter 440 Peach Picking
The recovery of the two thousand-year-old cities of Hangzhou and Nanjing caused a shock in the land of China. Since the Eighth Route Army entered Nanjing City for a few days, the people in the city have been making a fuss for several days as if they were celebrating a festival. After entering the city of Nanjing, Su Yu and Xiao Ke were in charge of military affairs, and political commissar Luo Ronghuan naturally had to deal with many administrative matters in the occupation of a city. At present, military control of the city is the only option, and the next step is to send a large number of administrative personnel to Jiangxi to take over and manage the city.
confiscated the enemy's assets and restored the economy of Nanjing City, Luo Ronghuan finally took a breath after a few busy days. In order to paralyze Wang Jingwei, Okamura did not destroy the city of Nanjing before retreating, so the power plant and other facilities related to people's livelihood in the city were intact. When the Japanese army retreated to Hangzhou, it blew up many industrial facilities such as power plants and waterworks. There was no such situation in Nanjing, and the key was that a large number of puppet army troops under Wang Jingwei played a role. Since Okamura Ningji used the puppet army as cannon fodder, he would inevitably deceive Wang Jingwei.
On this day, a special plane from Chongqing landed at Nanjing Airport, and more than 20 people from the National Government received it. When Luo Ronghuan heard the news, he immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters. The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army sent a telegram clearly stating that the temporary implementation of military management in Nanjing City meant that it would not recognize the reception of the national government. Luo Ronghuan received a telegram from the headquarters, and he had a backbone in his heart. The government accepted the spring breeze of the big officials to enter Nanjing City proudly, and Luo Ronghuan sent people to receive them warmly, but refused to meet them on the grounds that he was busy with work.
The receiving officer has no office and no authority, and a single order does not work at all. This group of receivers is here to reap the benefits, so they naturally have to take action.
A lot of strange things happened next, and many traitors of Wang's puppet government took out their letters of appointment, saying that they had been engaged in underground anti-Japanese work and were not traitors, and they also took out the letters of appointment of the national government in a grand manner. Luo Ronghuan knew in his heart that this was Lao Jiang's means. Originally, I was worried that I had no goal, but now it saves trouble. Luo Ronghuan ordered that all those who presented the letter of appointment should be arrested, and the personal assets under his name should be temporarily sealed. To this end, the headquarters sent a high-ranking official of Dark Arrow, and screened these so-called underground troops one by one.
According to the requirements of the headquarters, Su Yu and Xiao Ke reorganized the two puppet army divisions of the battlefield uprising, so they were very busy. The two did not have time to assist Luo Ronghuan in dealing with many things to recover Nanjing City, and many things not only required him to do it himself, but also spent a lot of energy. Just when Luo Ronghuan was investigating the screening and investigation of hardcore traitors, a crowd of demonstrators appeared in front of the Military Management Commission building that day.
There was a lot of noise outside, mixed with the sound of women crying. Luo Ronghuan stood in front of the window and looked at the demonstrators, and found that most of them were female dependents, obviously the families of those traitors. Some of them shouted that their husbands had been released and that their men were secretly contributing to the anti-Japanese struggle, ostensibly only by dealing with the Japanese in order to win the sympathy of the people. Some sat on the ground and wept, and many people who did not know the truth gathered more and more.
"Commissar, this is obviously the secret work of those who accept the big guys, and they don't dare to confront us on the surface, so they have to resort to this despicable means. I think that the most heinous traitors can be suppressed by capital punishment. The Dark Arrow officer sent by headquarters suggested. Luo Ronghuan frowned, remembering Ouyang Jian's words: It is easy to fight the country, and it is difficult to sit on the country, and consolidating the new political power in the future is our most difficult task, so we need to deal with it with wisdom instead of being simple and rude??????。
Luo Ronghuan pondered for a while and had an idea in his heart: "Our principle is that the first evil must be punished, and we will never tolerate those who are traitors who are determined to do it, and those who commit minor crimes must be sentenced, and those who are coerced will be educated." How many of these arrested traitors are convicted? "About one-fifth, another one-third have issues under investigation, and the rest we don't have much information and are in the lesser category." When Luo Ronghuan heard this, he immediately had an idea and said, "Someone! ”
After a while, a table was placed in front of the building of the former Wang puppet government and the current Military Management Commission, and a loudspeaker was temporarily erected. "Everyone, General Luo Ronghuan, director of the Nanjing Military Management Commission, will personally answer your questions." An officer of the Military Management Commission shouted loudly, and suddenly the chaotic scene fell silent, and the crowd of onlookers gathered more and more. At this time, Luo Ronghuan walked out of the building and stood in front of the microphone and said: "Citizens, our Eighth Route Army will never kill innocents indiscriminately, according to the materials we have, today we will use the method of on-site public trial, hand over the power to you, and the killing is up to you." We will not spare a bad person, but we will never wrong a good person! ”
As soon as Luo Ronghuan's words fell, two police cars escorting the prisoners roared. The first police car got down 3 fat-headed and big-eared guys, and they were tied up separately. Another police car came down 10 people without being tied. The prisoners were escorted to the front and stood in a row, Luo Ronghuan said: "Citizens, the first three crimes are conclusive, and the last 10 are just suspects, if anyone identifies someone guilty on the spot, we will give a reward, but we can't maliciously frame, if someone maliciously frames us, we will also punish the crime." ”
"Today we held a public trial meeting in front of the Military Management Commission building, announced the crimes of the first three and shot them on the spot. The last 10 will be released on the spot if no one has identified them for their crimes. Luo Ronghuan waved his hand, and an officer walked to the front with the verdict in his hand and announced loudly: "Chen Moumou, who was previously the puppet Nanjing City Police Chief, was willing to be an eagle dog of the Japanese during his reign, and persecuted countless anti-Japanese soldiers through his hands. This person forcibly grabbs, bullies men and women, and does bad things. The Nanjing Military Management Committee of the Eighth Route Army specially criticized Chen Moumou to death sentence, confiscated all his property, and executed him on the spot. A fat guy standing in the front row fell to his knees, shaking like chaff.
"Qi Moumou, previously served as the president of the Wang Puppet Government Chamber of Commerce, and ??????。 during his reign" After the military management officer finished the announcement, three soldiers armed with short guns walked up behind the three traitors who collapsed on the ground and pulled the trigger on the back of the head. With the sound of gunfire, the heads of the three traitors bloomed. After the body was dragged away, Luo Ronghuan said majestically: "These 10 suspects, according to the information we have, are all forced to do things for the Japanese. They belong to the category of lesser crimes, and we are ready to release them on the spot so that they can go back and reflect deeply. ”
"If someone reports and exposes, if the evidence is conclusive, we will reward it on the spot." After a moment of silence, a middle-aged man in a long coat in the crowd stood up and shouted, "I want to expose." "Someone took the lead and naturally caused a chain reaction, with continuous reports and exposures, and 4 people were escorted back to the detention center for further screening, and 6 people were released on the spot. The killing of 3 people had a deterrent effect, and the shock effect of escorting back 4 people and releasing 6 people was even more obvious.
Since the effect is obvious, Luo Ronghuan announced: Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, these detained traitors will continue to be tried by the citizens, and at the same time ordered that the names of all the detained traitors be posted and published to accept the supervision of the citizens. At the same time, he called on the public to actively expose the crimes of traitors. A whistleblower box is set up in front of the Military Management Commission, and there is a special person to receive reports directly to the personnel of the Military Management Commission. Luo Ronghuan's methods were effective, and the receiving officer from Chongqing was making trouble behind his back, and he didn't expect to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
A few days later, Luo Ronghuan sent someone to deliver the facts of the secret transaction confessed by the traitor to the receiving officer's residence. did not let their ugly deeds be exposed for the sake of the overall situation. Soon these receivers were recalled by Chongqing, and what awaited them was dismissal and dismissal, and Lao Jiang had to endure the pain even if he was distressed. A farce came to an end, which made Lao Jiang realize what it means to be in power from the barrel of a gun, that is, who lays down the territory to whom. Immediately, Lao Jiang ordered Chen Cheng's troops and Wei Lihuang's troops to attack from the north and south, and launched an attack on Wuhan, and at the same time ordered Xue Yue's troops to attack Guangzhou.
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Ruijin, Jiangxi, Runzhi said with a smile: "Luo Ronghuan did a good job, and this move forced Lao Jiang to raise the banner of counterattack. The Nanjing Revolution bankrupted Chiang's idea of preserving his strength, which was the result we wanted most. Zhu De said: "Su Yu called and believed that Okamura Ningji's reduction of troops in Songhu was intentional, and if the attack was carried out, the gains would outweigh the losses. In order not to let Okamura Ninji lead the way, it was suggested that part of the troops under the command maintain military pressure on Songhu, and the main force should cross the Yangtze River to cut off the retreat of the Japanese army in Wuhan. ”
"The purpose of fighting Songhu is to completely solve the strategic points in East China, and the political significance is greater than the military significance, what do you think?" "Mr. Zhu and I studied it carefully and thought that Su Yu's judgment was reasonable. According to the situation in the Pacific theater, the US military is about to launch the Philippine campaign, and the strategic retreat of the Japanese army is a foregone conclusion. It is known that the Japanese army in the Songhu area has a complete defensive system and concentrates superior forces, and if it is hard to fight, it will not be able to attack for a long time, and if Songhu is in a state of scorching, the battle loss rate is difficult to estimate. ”
Runzhidao: "If Chen Cheng and Wei Lihuang's corps attack the Japanese army in Wuhan from the north and south, the Japanese army in Wuhan will also choose to escape, and I guess Lao Jiang also saw this." Lin sent a telegram to inform him that the headquarters had broken through the outer defense line of Taiyuan, and that although the Japanese resistance was stubborn, it did not hold to the death, indicating that the Japanese troops in Shanxi were aiming to slow down our offensive and deliberately delay time. Now we can conclude that Okamura Ninji is buying time to consolidate the Tohoku strategic base. ”
"The signs have been very obvious, the Japanese army on the Shandong Peninsula and the Japanese army in the Beijing-Tianjin area have begun to move to the northeast." Peng Dehuai said. "The Japanese front was stretched too long, and they couldn't run smoothly if they wanted to. At present, the Shandong base area and the central Hebei base area are constantly expanding, and it is necessary to let the troops in the enemy's rear base area play a role. I agree with Su Yu's suggestion not to fight in Shanghai. If you want to fight, you will hit the vital parts of the Japanese army, and you will be unprepared to attack them and take them by surprise. I recommend??????。 ””
