[Anti-Japanese Iron and Blood King] Chapter 510: Military and Political Events (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Ma Zheng was familiar with the history of the development of the Xinmin Society, which at this time was only a small organization with an average function, and its position among all the traitor organizations under the control of the Japanese army was not so prominent. However, Ma Zheng knew how terrifying the future development of the Xinmin Association would be, and the degree of development of this terror seriously affected the course of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Therefore, what Ma Zheng has to do now is to strangle the Xinmin Association in the cradle before it develops. Although the Xinmin Association has been developing in Shandong for nearly two years now, due to various reasons, the influence of the Xinmin Association at this time is still far from enough, especially in the area of Liaocheng Luxi.

Ma Zheng is ready to take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Xinmin Association has not yet "invaded" Luxi, and eliminate some traitor organizations or traitor chambers of commerce and pro-Japanese merchants and landlords that the Xinmin Association has planted in Liaocheng, so that the Xinmin Association will never have a chance to enter Luxi and southern Hebei again.

Although the Xinmin Association has strong penetration and terrifying destructive power, as the royal group of the Japanese puppet regime, its own freedom and independence are very weak.

Ma Zheng is very dissatisfied with the current situation of traitors in Shandong, which of course has a lot to do with the current situation in Shandong. After some period of public order and rectification operations, the anti-Japanese situation in Shandong was not optimistic. At this stage, although the anti-Japanese situation in Luxi has made some progress, it will face another crisis.

It seems that the negotiations between the Japanese army and the Huyan family have made substantial progress, and if the Huyan family is lost as a shield, it will be difficult for Ma Zheng's department not to expose itself under the investigation of the Japanese army's special high-tech department. Once the Japanese army discovers the resistance of Ma Zheng's subordinate hidden behind the Huyan family, it will inevitably organize a large-scale sweep, and it is really difficult to say what the battle situation will be at that time.

But in any case, Ma Zheng still decided to teach the Xinmin Association an unforgettable lesson, otherwise there will be more wavering wall grass willing to be the lackeys of the Japanese army, which Ma Zheng does not want to see.

After the reorganization of the independent division, there was a shortage of personnel in all units, and according to Ma Zheng's idea, the independent division was expanded into a reorganized division. Therefore, when the troops set up the shelves, they came according to this concept, and the troops he also led, the Suicha Military Region had five integrated divisions and one cavalry division, so the armed forces of the Shandong Military Region should not be too shabby.

The shelf has been erected, but this shelf is a little bigger, so the independent division is now really short of people. After all, a reorganized division is not so easy to organize, not to mention that what Ma Zheng lacks now is not only a problem of military and political cadres, but also weapons, equipment, ammunition, and food are very important factors restricting the development of Ma Zheng's department.

What made Ma Zheng feel most difficult was that because he and the comrades of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee were still in a state of disconnection for the time being, the organs of the party organizations in Shandong were basically paralyzed, and the party affairs work had almost come to a standstill.

The stagnation of party affairs has seriously affected the development of the troops, and the reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to achieve such great development in such a short period of time would even defeat the whole of China in a few years, and even the invincible US imperialism suffered a great loss under the fried noodles rifle of the volunteers. Of course, this is a contribution of the army, but it is inseparable from the ideological guidance of the party organization. This requires that the party organizations in all regions must be complete, be able to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized to cooperate with the troops' actions, and provide all convenient conditions for the troops.

However, due to the destruction of the enemy, the party organizations in Shandong have fallen into a state of semi-silence, let alone helping Ma Zheng's department, even if they protect themselves, this problem is difficult to solve. In addition, the gang of traitors of the Xinmin Association obstructed them, resulting in heavy losses to the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government and local prefectural party committees.

In order to do a better job in the anti-Japanese work, Ma Zheng sent a telegram to the bigwigs in Yan'an, in addition to reporting on the work during this period, he also hoped that the chairman and they could send a veteran with enough weight to Shandong to preside over the construction of party affairs in Shandong. At the same time, Ma Zheng also hoped that the party Central Committee would be able to solve some of the cadre problems for the independent division, and it would be better to send some fierce generals in the army to come over.

At the same time, in order to restore the anti-Japanese situation in Shandong as soon as possible, the Central Committee decided to let the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Zhang Jingwu and Li Yu move closer to Ma Zheng's headquarters, and at the same time ordered the Eighth Route Army's eastward anti-Japanese advance column, which was composed of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division and the Jinpu Detachment of the 129th Division, to enter the border area between southern Hebei and western Luxi and be ready to join Ma Zheng's headquarters at any time.

As for the veteran figures requested by Ma Zheng, the Party Central Committee did not agree, mainly because the veteran figures in the party now have no time to separate. Therefore, the central authorities decided to let Ma Zheng grasp the major military and political affairs and coordinate the work of organizing the Shandong Military Region.

Ma Zheng was very surprised by this decision of the Party Central Committee, because at the beginning of the establishment of the army, the Central Committee established the principle of the Party's leadership of the gun. For this reason, political commissars are usually set up in units at the battalion and regimental level, and even in some very important guerrilla units at the company level.

Among all the units of the Eighth Route Army, there is no unit that does not have a political commissar, let alone a large military region at the provincial level, and it is unique in the history of the Eighth Route Army that such a major military and political matter is shoulder-to-shoulder.

However, it can also be seen from this that Ma Zheng's revolutionary determination has completely withstood the test of the Party Central Committee, and as a democratic fighter extremely loyal to the Party and the country, Ma Zheng's hatred for the enemy is as deep as his love for the Party.

Since the above did not agree to send the great god to Shandong to take charge, then Ma Zheng didn't say anything more, and his eyes turned back to the Xinmin Association again.

As the intelligence officers gradually reported some of the evil deeds of the Xinmin Association to the division headquarters, the anger in Ma Zheng's heart suddenly rose. Looking at the materials collected by the intelligence officers, Ma Zheng knew that he could no longer be so indifferent. The cancer of the Xinmin Association has been deeply rooted, and it is impossible to completely eliminate it for the time being, and the only way to deal with an organization like the Xinmin Association is to gradually encroach on it, otherwise it can only make itself more passive.

The Xinmin Association's influence in the entire Shandong is already very considerable, but its influence in Liaocheng is not large. Although there are many gentry in Liaocheng, and there are some people who join, and even some well-known big chambers of commerce are also members of the Xinmin Association, but because the Luxi area has always been a place where the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army haunt, the traitor forces in these places do not dare to be too rampant.

More importantly, despite its size, the Xinmin Association had more than two million members at its peak. But the Japanese are also afraid of such a large organization, so the Japanese army has extremely strict control over the armed forces of the Xinmin Association, so the armed forces of the Xinmin Association are very weak. Not to mention the regular forces of the independent division, it would be difficult for them to directly destroy any guerrilla force in Shandong.

The intention of the Japanese is very clear, the Xinmin Society can exist, but it can only exist in the way of the eyes and ears of the Japanese army, and the Xinmin will never be allowed to have the ability to fight alone. Therefore, as a result, the armed forces controlled by the Xinmin Association are large but not sophisticated, and they do not even have the number of regular troops.

If you want to say that the puppet army is a ragtag soldier in the Japanese army and is raised by the queen, then those troops controlled by the Xinmin Association are the miscellaneous cards in the miscellaneous. However, it is worth mentioning that the weapons and equipment of the troops controlled by the Xinmin Association are generally good, this is because most of the members of the Xinmin Association are some landlords, inferior gentry and rich people, so their economic strength is relatively strong, so the weapons and equipment of the armed forces they control are generally much better than those of the puppet army, and even some second-rate Japanese troops are not comparable to them.

But if it is said that the quality of the soldiers and the will to fight are not half a star, those officials and masters of the Xinmin Association are thinking about how to centralize power, how to make profits for themselves, how to struggle for their families in this troubled world, and plunder interests in the groans of their compatriots, who will sincerely train the troops.
