Chapter 206: Transferring the Masses

After a day's inspection, Liu Hua was very satisfied with the training of his three regiments. Under the leadership of the fighters of the special operations brigade, the three main regiments each said their own specialties and conducted training for their surnames. Liu Hua believed that the soldiers of the three main regiments, not to mention the quality of their individual soldiers and the army, could be one-on-one, and two-on-one was absolutely okay.

"Commander, commander, there is a situation, the army has moved..." From a distance, I saw the headquarters of Meng Zhongheng, the director of the intelligence department, running over.

"What's the situation?" Liu Hua and the political commissar stood up almost at the same time and asked.

"The army has begun to draw troops, this is intelligence. According to the efforts of the intelligence personnel in Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang, the army has drawn out two main divisions and regiments with a total of 50,000 people and a 20,000-strong security army from various places. Meng Zhongheng was sweating profusely.

"Oh my god, so many.," exclaimed the commissar. Soon, the chief of staff, who had arrived in a hurry, marked the deployment of the troops of the army on the huge map in front of him.

"I really didn't expect the army to secretly transfer so many troops, and now our base has almost been fenced off, it seems that this sweep is determined to eliminate our readers." The commissar said.

"Hmph, if you want to destroy the reader, you also want to see if he has such good teeth." Liu Hua snorted coldly.

"Commander, judging from the current deployment of the army, the army plans to divide into six armies, and the armies of each road almost have a strength of nearly 10,000 people, this is a hard bone, the current strength of our base area, no matter what, we can't gnaw it!" The commissar said.

"Political commissar, it's too early to say such things, it depends on how the army attacks at that time. If they play steadily, we really don't have that many opportunities, but if they push quickly, then we have more opportunities. However, now is not the time to discuss this, and now we must make the people in the base areas ready for counter-sweeping. You must know that our communications are not so developed, and it will take at least a day for an order to reach every corner of the base area. Liu Hua said.

"Yes, I think that in the name of the Supreme Command, a counter-sweeping order should be issued to all military subdivisions, demanding that political axes at all levels should transfer the masses and property in the shortest possible time. This time, the army came to take revenge. They may do anything shameful, so we must do a good job of moving the masses..."The political commissar agreed.

"Chief of Staff, immediately issue an anti-sweeping order to all military districts, and send it now. The main forces of all military regions are required to assemble immediately and be ready to meet the Japanese army at any time. Also, the rapid reaction brigade was ordered to stop training starting tomorrow, replenish sufficient ammunition and supplies, and be ready to be pulled out at any time. All militias in the base area immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and there were also security offices to prevent the army spies from infiltrating the base areas and disturbing the people's hearts in the base areas...."Liu Hua issued orders one by one.

Soon, one by one, radio waves were sent from Zhangjiazhuang to the three military subdivisions. Similarly, the three military divisions sent messages to their regimental units, and the troops slowly spread to the villages through the cavalry. It took a whole day and a night for Liu Hua's order to reach every corner of the base area.

As for the order to transfer the masses, the First Army Division was the first base area to be developed by the Reading Division, so the common people were very active in doing it. Similarly, in the Third Army Division, because of the incident of the slaughter of villages by devils, the common people almost talked about the change of color of the army, and the transfer work was also carried out very smoothly. However, the division of the Second Army on the plateau was not so easy.

Many ordinary people are reluctant to leave their home altars and jars, or they are unable to leave their homeland, no matter how persuasive the soldiers are, they just do not transfer. In the face of a large number of ordinary people who refused to transfer, the plateau of the commander of the military division was very headache, but he was also helpless, so many people, it was impossible for him to be forcibly transferred one by one! If the people who were forcibly transferred ran back and were captured by the army, the hidden people would be ...... Soon, this difficult question was sent to the high command and came to the hands of Liu Hua and the political commissar.

"What, I won't transfer, no, absolutely not, no matter what, I have to let all the people move to the mountains..." Seeing the telegram in his hand, Liu Hua said to himself.

"Yes, no matter what, the people must be transferred, some time ago there was an incident of the devil slaughtering the village in our base area, and it must not happen again, tell the plateau, no matter what method is used, let the people move to the mountains..."

"Wait a minute, Counselor Wang." Seeing Staff Officer Wang who wanted to go out to send a report, Liu Hua shouted.

"Commander, do you have any other tasks?" Counselor Wang asked.

"You wait a minute." As he spoke, Liu Hua turned his head to look at the political commissar who was frowning.

"Political commissar, in my opinion, the biggest reason why the people of the Second Army Division refuse to transfer is that they did not understand the behavior of the devils and did not see the cruelty of the devils. Just look at the Third Army Division, before the massacre of the village, the common people were also unwilling to move, but after the slaughter of the village by the devils, the common people knew the horror of the devils, so the transfer was very smooth..."Liu Hua said.

"Commander, do you have any ideas..."Listening to Liu Hua's words, the political commissar seemed to think of something, but still found nothing, and quickly asked.

"We want to let the people of the Second Army Division know about the devil's slaughter of the village in Xiazhuang Township, let them know the brutality of the devil, and I see whether they will transfer or not..."Liu Hua said confidently.

"Well, it's a good idea, not only the Second Army Division on the plateau, but also the First Army Division, so that everyone knows the brutality of the devil....but, how to let everyone know, let the soldiers go to propaganda, the common people will definitely not believe it." A new question has arisen for the commissar.

"If the soldiers can't do it, let the people who survived in Xiazhuang Township teach by word and deed, I don't believe the villagers and the people who survived the devil's slaughter." Liu Hua said affirmatively.

"Staff Officer Wang, record the order, this is for the three military divisions: order Commander Wang Nanhu to select a group of villagers who escaped from the devils from Xiazhuang Township, and quickly transport them to the First and Second Army Divisions by car under the protection of heavy troops, so that these ordinary people can personally explain the brutality of the army to those ordinary people who refuse to transfer..."

Seeing the order of the commander Liu Hua, the commanders of the three divisions immediately became active, not only personally entertaining these ordinary people who came from Xiazhuang Township, but also personally taking them to those ordinary people who refused to transfer....

"Fellow villagers, I have summoned you here today not to persuade you to retreat, but to tell you about a major incident that happened in our Third Army Division. Let me introduce you to a fellow villager, this fellow surnamed Chen, his family lives in Xiazhuang Township, and I would like to ask this fellow to tell you a thing she has personally experienced. Gao Yuan stood on the high platform and said personally.

"Fellow countrymen, Commander Gao has just introduced my name, and now I want to talk about those devils who are terrible, those devils who are inferior to beasts. All my family died under the machine guns of the devils. I remember that day, the Eighth Route Army informed that the devil was coming and asked us to transfer, but I was reluctant to have the jars and jars at home, so I didn't follow everyone to transfer, but I didn't expect that the devil really came that afternoon. At that time, I was hiding in the firewood room, and I was not discovered by the devils.......

Unexpectedly, those devils surrounded my family and the dozens of people in the village who had not been transferred. Forcing us to tell where the rest of the folks are hiding. In the end, a Han Jian said it, thinking that these devils would release the villagers, but he didn't expect it. These devils have actually killed dozens of villagers, including all my relatives...... What's even more hateful is that the devil caught the people who were hiding, a total of more than 400 people, and in the end, they all gave it to them..."As he spoke, the strong man actually cried.

"Fellow villagers, this is what my old man has personally experienced, those devils are simply not people, they are beasts, they kill people when they see them, and they force women when they see them. Fellows, let's all follow the Eighth Route Army, go as far as possible, don't let the devils find out..."The fellow cried and finished what he wanted to say.

At this time, except for the cry of the fellow, everyone in the audience was silent, quietly thinking about the words of the fellow just now, and finally, one person broke the silence of the venue.

"Comrade of the Eighth Route Army, I'll follow you....I'll go back and pack my things..."One person took the lead, and the rest of the people chimed in, and after a while, the entire venue became empty, and all the villagers returned home to pack up their important belongings and clear the wall...

"The commander, the political commissar, it was successful, the people of several military divisions agreed to transfer, and now everyone's important materials have been transferred to the mountains. As long as the devil comes, the fellow can leave at any time...."The chief of staff replied excitedly with a telegram.

"Well, it's good to transfer, it's good to transfer, we must not lose another fellow countryman, and let the devil kill another fellow countryman...."The political commissar also replied affirmatively.

In this way, less than a week after Liu Hua's order to fight against encirclement and suppression was issued, news came from various localities that they were ready to meet the attack of the Yue army at any time.

"Commissar, how is the preparation of the rapid reaction brigade?" I saw that the common people in the base areas and the various military subdivisions had already made similar preparations. Liu Hua began to shift his gaze, thinking of the only elite team in the base area now, with a rapid response rate.

"Yes, in a week's time, each soldier has taken enough ammunition in his hands, and the three main regiments have been assembled, the headquarters artillery regiment, the first battalion of the guard regiment, the special operations brigade, and the cavalry regiment have all been assembled and can be drawn at any time..."

"Okay, okay, little devil, you can come...."Liu Hua sighed excitedly...
