After the end of the conference, the central delegation, which had completed its tasks, was about to leave. Regarding Meng Qingshan's retention, Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and said: "I still have to return to Yan'an to report to the Central Committee in person, so that I can transfer urgently needed cadres to you as soon as possible, so I won't delay here." ”

Meng Qingshan waved his hand, and several guards behind him put a bunch of items in front of Vice Chairman Zhou and several members of the central delegation, only to see a large number of boxes placed beside them, Meng Qingshan pointed to these things and said: "There is a tiger skin and tiger bones, a sable fur coat, dozens of deerskin coats and dozens of decades-old mountain ginseng, and a saber at the level of a major general of the Japanese army, all of which were captured from the Japanese army. A little heart, please also ask Vice Chairman Zhou to accept it.

After that, Meng Qingshan pointed to a few tightly sealed and even locked leather boxes and said: "This is part of the funds that we have transferred to the central government, a total of five thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand silver dollars collected by the Japanese puppet army captured in these days. I would like to ask Vice Chairman Zhou to forward it to the Central Committee. ”

"Northern Shaanxi is a barren land, and the Nationalist Government is stuck on us again, and the central government is definitely not rich. These gold and silver dollars are not much, but they are enough to last for a while. We have recently developed several gold mines, and we will be sure to let us know if there is an urgent need from the central government in the future. We will find a way to send it to Yan'an. ”

It was not a short time to come to the Northeast, and Vice Chairman Zhou, who knew that Meng Qingshan did not have a lot of money, saw that Meng Qingshan actually took out such a large amount of gold, silver dollars and other hard currencies and handed them over to the central government, Vice Chairman Zhou was also somewhat moved: "These funds just solve the urgent needs of the central government, I thank you on behalf of the central government, I didn't expect that you kid is still a landlord and old wealth, and you hide it really tightly." ”

Speaking of this, Vice Chairman Zhou looked at the commander-in-chief and other secretaries of the Northeast Bureau standing in front of him. Meng Qingshan, Li Yanping, Yang Jingyu, Liu Yalou, and other members of the leading group of the North Manchurian Military Region said: "In the future, the work in the northeast region will depend on you, and how well you fight will be a great cooperation to the battlefield in Guannei." ”

"The situation in the Northeast is severe, and you must be more careful. Things must be prioritized, and the enemy must not be rash. If there is anything, we must cooperate well with each other. Don't engage in separatism, and don't engage in any specialization. This is what the President has asked me to tell you again and again. ”

"Okay, I'll not say more. In a word, you all have to do it well. The central government will always pay attention to you in Yan'an. If you need the assistance of the central authorities, please send a telegram directly to the central authorities, and do not have any taboos. ”

After Meng Qingshan and others personally sent Vice Chairman Zhou to the steamer in Jiangbei, they looked at it from a distance, and when the steamer disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, Meng Qingshan retracted his gaze and led everyone back to the headquarters. Began to launch a long-brewing cultural counterattack

Naturally, the underground party committees lurking in various cities of the Japanese army began to prepare propaganda activities in accordance with the instructions of the headquarters, while the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Federation and various military regions sent propaganda teams to the countryside one after another to publicize anti-Japanese activities.

It is dozens of kilometers away in the city of Qiqihar. A group of ordinary people dressed in ordinary people's clothes, holding a lot of printed paper in their hands, took advantage of the moonlight to start posting back and forth on the walls of the streets and alleys, while other cities used comics to print and distribute cartoons one after another. Secretly stuffed at night at the door of the people's homes, the propaganda department of the headquarters set up a newspaper. Propaganda of anti-Japanese heroes and traitors,... As for the villages around the base area, in almost every village, there are anti-United Nations fighters in charge of propaganda...

When the people in the city opened the door early in the morning and walked outside, they found that the whole street had become green, and the street was painted with white ash with various slogans, such as "The people who have lost the country are better than the dogs who have lost their families", "Resist Japan and save the country, expel the Japanese invaders", and "Do dry work." It is a hero to defeat Japan", "The Northeast will not give in, the people will not bow their heads", "Participate in the Anti-Japanese Federation, and the whole family will be glorious"

And some opened the door to find that there was actually a newspaper at the door, and when they opened the newspaper, first the Japanese army massacred the Northeast people, and then the following was an introduction to the heroes of the Anti-United Nations and the achievements of the Anti-Japanese Federation. And then it was actually written that the commander of the garrison of Qiqihar City, Yamashita Fengwu, was a yin and yang person.........

"Yaga! Nani! Where did these things come from. The commander of the Qiqihar garrison, Yamashita Fengwu, held some colorful slogans and newspapers in his hand and asked Shanshan Yuan, the chief of staff beside him.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, these are all propaganda of the Chinese people, destroying the ruling privileges of the empire in the northeast, and inducing the people of China to rebel against us, and now we have a lot of young people sneaking away here every day, even if we send a large number of troops to intercept it, there are still fish that slip through the net and run into the defense area of China."

"Nani! This group of damned people dares to slander us like this, I must give them some color to show them, let them know how powerful our imperial warriors are. ”

"Your Excellency Commander, the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army ordered that the Meng Qingshan Division of the Anti-Japanese Federation is huge, and it is good at long-distance raids and ambushes, and it is forbidden for us to send troops out to engage them to prevent the Anti-Japanese Federation from taking advantage of the chaos to attack, and now the headquarters is actively deploying the plan for the spring battle, we must not take the initiative to break the calm and sabotage the operational plan of the headquarters at this time, otherwise Your Excellency the commander, you will be criticized by General Umezu Mijiro."

"Nani! Are we just here stupidly watching their wanton propaganda? ”

Shanshan Yuan smiled and said: "Your Excellency Commander, although we can't attack and eliminate the people of China for the time being, we can learn from them, use all the propaganda machines to create true and false news, and sow discord among the various departments of the Anti-Japanese Federation, so that they are suspicious of each other, do not support each other, and fight alone." In particular, with regard to Meng Qingshan, it is necessary to fabricate news about his reorganization of local armed forces, the annexation of various armies of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the suppression of the pro-Soviet faction in the ranks, so as to portray Meng Qingshan as a warlord bent on independence, so that not only the Soviet side will doubt him, but also the Communist Party will doubt him, so that he will be so anxious that he will not be able to concentrate on thinking about the war, so as to increase the chances of victory in our spring operation. ”

"His Excellency General Umezu Yoshijiro specifically instructed that a comprehensive method of warfare should be adopted against Meng Qingshan, and that high-ranking agents should be sent to approach him and assassinate him, and at the same time, public opinion was created to say that Manchukuo had sent plenipotentiary representatives to negotiate with Meng Qingshan, and substantial progress had been made, and the two sides had reached a preliminary agreement on the status of North Manchuria. That is, Meng Qingshan was willing to Manchukuo, and Manchukuo provided 100 million silver dollars for the construction of North Manchuria. ”

"It can also be publicized that Meng Qingshan was originally a bandit leader, but later he was absorbed by the Anti-Japanese Federation, and he always wanted to make trouble in the mountains, but his commander disagreed, so in a battle, he secretly fired a shot in the back and killed his division commander."

"In addition, we can also publicize that Meng Qingshan is a very ** pervert, who is forcibly prostituted and plundered everywhere, and at the same time sends some small teams to pretend to be the leaders of the Anti-Japanese Federation, ** women, and make trouble for them."

"Shanshan-kun, you deserve to be a top student of the empire, but what if the people of China don't believe us?"

"All in all, whether others believe it or not, we just have to create rumors and false information, and the amount must be large, and the radio must broadcast it non-stop, so as to confuse Meng Qingshan's thinking and make him unable to understand our army's combat intentions."

Shanshanyuan said this, Yamashita Fengwu's eyes widened in surprise, this Shanshanyuan chief of staff looks wilted, and he really has goods in his stomach, and even this kind of indiscriminate technique can be used, but I like it. (To be continued.) )
