[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 470: Genuine Bandits (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

In order not to attract the attention of the Japanese army, Ma Zheng ordered Xu Weiguo to lead a battalion of troops to develop in Dong'e, while Xie Wensheng led a battalion to develop in Shen County, while he himself led the only remaining battalion to stay in Yanggu County. As for the more than 300 people of the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team, they were divided into three special operations squadrons by Ma Zheng to cooperate with Ma Zheng and others.

The reason for dividing the troops is mainly because Ma Zheng considers that the situation in Shandong is quite stable now, and if he makes a big move now, such as attacking a county town, it will definitely attract the attention of the Japanese army, and then lead the enemy to carry out a crazy counterattack. Therefore, Ma Zheng could only divide the troops into parts, let them develop privately, and wait for all the troops to gain a firm foothold in the local area or the situation in Shandong stabilized a little before trying to plot it.

For the sake of insurance, now their entire unit has been replaced with Suicha, whether it is the number, the establishment, or the military positions of the principal officers, and there is no commander of the military region here, and there is no brigade commander or deputy brigade commander, and everything here has nothing to do with the Suicha Military Region. At the same time, the word Ma Zheng will not be mentioned in the army, but will be called Kang Bisheng, that is, the meaning of victory in the War of Resistance.

This Yanggu County is the hometown of Wu Song Wu Erlang in the Water Margin, Wu Erlang fought the tiger not only achieved his personal prestige, but also achieved the name of Yanggu County. Today, he Ma Zheng also arrived in Yanggu County, but he did not go to Jingyanggang.

But he Ma Zheng still wants to be famous, no, it should be that he Kang Bisheng wants to become famous. It's not that Ma Zheng also wants to go to Jingyanggang to fight a tigress, he wants to take out a few tigers who eat people in Yanggu County first.

Ma Zheng's purpose in going south was twofold: one was to be ordered to form the Shandong Military Region, and the second was to go to the Jiaodong region to create a new situation, control the coastal ports, and prepare for receiving supplies from the United States.

The reason why he wants to take root in Liaocheng is completely because of the geographical location of Liaocheng and the strategic resources of Liaocheng. Liaocheng is rich in resources, convenient transportation and developed communications, and is an important production base for commercial grain, high-quality cotton, vegetables, fruits, livestock and poultry and a deep processing and export base for agricultural and sideline products in China in later generations. Among them, high-protein wheat, Ya pear, round bell jujube, melon, small-tailed Han sheep, Luxi cattle and other famous and rare products are well-known at home and abroad, which allows Ma Zheng to see the source of food and other daily necessities needed for the future development of the army.

At the same time, the water resources in Liaocheng are sufficient, there are Tuxiao River, Maji River, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal running through the north and south, and there are many high and low hills in Liaocheng, although the terrain is not very steep, but it is still complex, which is very suitable for the needs of Ma Zheng. In addition, Liaocheng is rich in underground mineral deposits such as coal, oil, natural gas, limestone, gypsum, and iron, but a large part of it has not been discovered, and Ma Zheng can use it.

What Ma Zheng likes the most is the geographical location of Liaocheng, which is located in Luxi, near Henan and Hebei, and is located at the junction of the three administrative regions of East China, North China and Central China, and the geographical location is very important. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which represents China's commercial civilization, and the Yellow River, which represents agricultural civilization, converge here, and both economy and agriculture are very developed.

In the comments of later generations, Liaocheng not only plays a central role in radiating and driving the economic development of Luxi, but also is an important channel for economic, technological and cultural exchanges with Shanxi, Hebei and other inland provinces. Liaocheng can not only make use of the advanced technology of the eastern coast, but also make use of the rich resources of the eastern provinces, and is an important transportation hub, energy base, inland port and the central city of the border area of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan.

However, Ma Zheng's consideration was that Liaocheng was close to southern Hebei, and Ma Zheng could get assistance from the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei if necessary. At the same time, the supplies of the Suicha Military Region can also be transported to Luxi through southern Hebei, so that the troops led by Ma Zheng will not be isolated after arriving in Shandong.

Of course, Ma Zheng knows some things that others can't know. In the middle and late Republic of China, due to the warlord melee and the invasion of the Japanese army, although it caused great damage to the agricultural and industrial industries of Liaocheng, it also cultivated the enthusiasm of the people of Liaocheng to resist. After the "77 Incident", Liaocheng became the forefront of the anti-Japanese resistance. There were more than 60,000 anti-Japanese armed forces operating in Liaocheng and its surrounding areas alone, fighting the Japanese army more than 80 times, defending and recovering a large area of the country.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of Liaocheng people participating in the anti-Japanese troops of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party exceeded 150,000 during the entire War of Resistance Against Japan.

Moreover, Ma Zheng also knew that during the Liberation War, Liaocheng was the rear base of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and when Liu Deng's army advanced into the Dabie Mountains and forcibly crossed the Yellow River, 37,000 people joined the army in the city. During the Huaihai Campaign and the operation of crossing the Yangtze River to the south, the people in the territory organized transport teams and stretcher teams to fully support the PLA's operations, making great contributions to the victory of the war. In Ma Zheng's words, Liaocheng is a hot land full of heroes, as long as the organization is reasonable and the leadership is appropriate, Ma Zheng believes that Liaocheng alone can pull up an anti-Japanese army that is enough to shock the Japanese puppet army.

Yanggu County is also a good place, in addition to the mountainous areas that Ma Zheng's department needs most now, there are also some resources that Ma Zheng values - coal. The Yanggu-Chiping coalfield extends along the north of the Yellow River in a southwest-northeast direction, distributed in the southern end of Shen County, most of Yanggu, the eastern part of Liaocheng, the western part of Dong'e and the southern part of Chiping, covering an area of several thousand square kilometers and with a predicted reserve of 12.9 billion tons.

The ore field has a wide range of shallow coal seams, many coal seams, large thickness, rich reserves, excellent coal quality, and simple hydrogeological conditions, and has been rated as one of the major breakthrough projects of general minerals in the country in later generations. Danzhen Coal Mining Area is located in the area of Danzhen, Gaoji Township, in the north of Dong'e County. It is southwest and northeast, 8 kilometers long from east to west, 4 kilometers wide from north to south, with an area of 32 square kilometers, and the mine has proven reserves of 139 million tons.

This is also the main reason why Ma Zheng distributed several battalions under his command to these counties for development, because whether it is Dong'a or Xin County or Yanggu County, there are minerals of one kind or another, and with minerals, the puppet army will definitely not let these precious things be permanently preserved underground, and with those **** insatiable greedy personality, they will definitely force the Chinese people to open mines for them and plunder China's resources. In this way, these counties do not need to think about it, and there are many mining areas and many miners. As long as the strength of Ma Zheng's unit has increased now, then it can pull a force from the mining area at any time as developed by the Suicha Military Region.

Now Ma Zheng's most important thing is not to fight, and to find a place where he can be a base in the shortest possible time, you must know that there is not even a place to stay, then no one is willing to come to him at all.

Of course, this time Ma Zheng did not plan to take the usual path, he asked the troops to change all the sackcloth bandit clothes brought from the Suicha Military Region, and a brand new bandit was born.

If you want to operate under the nose of the Japanese army without being noticed, the identity of a bandit is undoubtedly a good choice. After all, this is a troubled era, there are people who fall into the grass every day, and some bandits who can't get along in the local area will also spread to other places, so the emergence of a new bandit locks is the most normal in this era.

What's more, the current Luxi itself is a place full of bandits, almost as long as there are mountains, there are bandits, there are dozens or hundreds of people in small locks, and there are even more than a thousand people in large bandit dens.

In order to make himself more like a bandit, and in order to hide his identity, Ma Zheng usually wears a pitch-black one-eyed mask, and he also has a beard, coupled with his iron-blooded temperament, so whether the whole person looks at it from a distance or up close, this is clearly a big bandit in Shandong. The only difference is that Ma Zheng, a Shandong bandit, does not speak Shandong.

Obviously, Ma Zheng also realized this, and during this time, he was working hard to learn Shandong dialect with a few local soldiers, and since he wanted to learn to be a bandit, he had to learn a full set. What is half of it, if we want to get it, we have to get the most authentic one, we must be genuine, and refuse piracy and copycats.

People have them, they have guns, they even have clothes, and all that remains is to find a suitable place to make a cottage, how can they not even have a nest when they are bandits, in Ma Zheng's words, even if they rob a lady who comes back, there is no place to settle people. (To be continued.) )
