Cracking down on local tyrants, dividing up the land, and suppressing the remnants of the landlords' return to their hometowns -- in fact, the landlords in these four places were so frightened that they hid in the cities when the Red Army came. This article was written by...... The local peasants soon sided with the Red Army after receiving the fields, and then established militia organizations and Red Guards as usual. Over the course of a year, the periphery of the four cities was run like iron barrels by the Red Army.

During his trip to the Soviet Union, Lin Han once said that the biggest difference between China's cities and the cities of Tsarist Russia is that China is still an agricultural country, and most of the cities are consumption-oriented rather than productive. In these four places in Fujian, except for Fuzhou, which still has a little remnant of small industry from the Manchu Dynasty, the rest are all consumer-oriented cities in need of external support. After almost all the surrounding countryside was occupied by the Red Army, the life of the 19th Route Army, which was trapped in four places, was extremely difficult, because the grain, fruits and vegetables they needed to maintain the operation of the city needed to be supplied by the surrounding countryside, and the countryside was already under the control of the Red Army.

During the period from the second half of 1932 to July 1933, the 19th Route Army did not think about struggling, but also organized troops to go out of the city many times, like the Japanese devils of later generations, and wanted to "go to the countryside to grab grain", but was beaten back by the Red Army, which had been prepared for a long time, and suffered heavy losses but gained nothing.

All four cities are close to the sea, and they are able to import supplies from outside by sea. Therefore, with the "kindness" of "American" businessmen, Lin Han opened several leather bag companies in Shanghai, took the grain, medicinal materials, and other materials purchased by scanning goods in various places with foreign exchange printed by himself, and then transported them to four places by sea to sell them to maintain the operation of the city. Of the ten freighters that sailed from Shanghai, only four entered these four places. The rest all sailed to Dongshan Port, and doing business with the 19th Route Army became an excellent cover.

Because the Red Army was deliberately trapped and did not fight, and feared that the 19th Route Army would not be able to hold out and surrender or abandon the city, it had deliberately not attacked the sea transport lines in the four places, and in fact many of the members of the steamers carrying supplies to these four places were underground parties.

In the past year, the 19th Route Army, which was trapped in four places, had an extremely hard time. The four cities themselves do not have much tax revenue, and the surrounding farmland can still squeeze some juice, and a little farther away it is all the Red Army-controlled districts, and there is almost no profit. Although the channels for the import of foreign materials have been unobstructed and have not been cut off, all of them have to be purchased with real money - in fact, the Red Army besieging the four places did not cut off the supply of materials to these four cities, but opened the door to business. As long as the defenders can pull out real money and hard currency. Grain. Vegetables, medicines, and even luxury goods from Shanghai are available in unlimited quantities without limits. A year of business down. Stunned to be trapped in four cities. The pockets of the 19th Route Army were squeezed clean. As for the officers and soldiers at the lower levels, in order to live better. The number of surreptitious exchange of guns and bullets with the Red Army for supplies was even more numerous than could be counted.

In order to raise money to buy supplies from the Red Army and "foreign ships", the 19th Route Army, which was trapped in isolated cities, also scraped the ground in the city. The big merchants in the city complained bitterly. At the height of the strictest, the big families in the four cities cried and ran out of the city to show their loyalty to the Red Army and were willing to be the "leading party". It's just that the Red Army, in line with the principle of "being trapped but not attacking", refused to attack the four cities lightly after seizing the periphery.

When they were trapped in four places, the 19th Route Army did not receive foreign assistance, and the Japanese, who were separated by a sea from Fujian, were very concerned about the war in Fujian. They transferred a batch of weapons from Taiwan to reinforce the 19th Route Army by sea, and even planned to send an intervention army to intervene. But at this point, the top brass of the 19th Route Army kept the bottom line, they took the guns and ammunition sent by the Japanese in one hand, and rejected the "kindness" of the Japanese on the other side. Britain and the United States were also very wary of the Japanese meddling in the south of the Yangtze River and sternly opposed it.

At this time, Japan was still digesting the territory it had seized from the Northeast, and under the pressure of Britain and the United States, even if it had this idea, it could only hold it in its heart. The only thing the Japanese could do was to place some old warships in the Taiwan Strait near the Fujian side, and only wait for the Red Army to attack the four coastal areas and carry out armed intervention in the name of "protecting overseas Chinese." But the Japanese waited for a year, and the Red Army soldiers came to the city for the next year, and they did not take the initiative to fire a single shot at the four cities.

After the Battle of Zhangzhou, after being trapped for a year, the upper echelons of the 19th Route Army, Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai, also understood the strategic ideas of the Red Army, but there was nothing they could do. He privately contacted the Red Army, wanting to let the Red Army release his troops at the cost of voluntarily abandoning the city, but the Red Army refused. Li Runshi, who was well aware of the temperament of the central government, in turn, proposed a proposal to Jiang Guangding: dissolve the Fujian People's Government and "sell" the city and troops to the Nanjing Nationalist Government.

In exchange, the Red Army used the $200,000 provided by Lin Han to buy most of the equipment in his hands, including the guns and ammunition of the 19th Route Army supported by the Japanese - but this money was all real money this time, mainly because Lin Han wanted to be safe and did not want to expose the origin of the fake (crab) money in this place. Although Lin Han is very confident in the fake (crab) banknotes he prints, he is careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and it is better to be cautious in such a place where it is easy to expose the origin of the fake (crab) banknotes.

Jiang Guangding and others agreed to this construction after a long examination, and in June he began to contact Song Ziwen in Nanjing to discuss the "return to construction", and after extorting another sum of money from Song Ziwen, he sold the land to the Nanjing Nationalist Government along with the troops. The use of silver bullets to buy opponents is a familiar thing to Chairman Song.

In July, the Nanjing Nationalist Government, with the support of Britain and the United States, sent four divisions to the four places and took over the territory of the 19th Route Army. Jiang Guangding and others then announced that they would leave Fujian for Hong Kong.

Song Wenzi, who took over the 19th Route Army class, soon realized that what he bought from Jiang Guangding was a piece of stinky shit. Before he took over, the troops of the former 19th Route Army had already sold a large amount of equipment and ammunition to the Red Army, and all the defenders had was a bunch of broken guns with burnished rifles exchanged from the Red Army. The loss of weapons was also placed, and the 19th Route Army, which was originally excellent in morale and combat power in the artillery party, had lost all its spirit and spirit after nearly a year of being trapped, and had already degenerated into a waste army.

Even if it is even worse, it is an extreme strategic disadvantage. These four divisions stationed in Fujian. Being scattered in four cities is a taboo in itself. After completing the task of opening up overseas lines of communication in 1932, the main force of the Red Army left only 30,000 main forces in Fujian. However, after seizing the countryside and completing land reform and the construction of base areas, by the time the Artillery Party took over Fujian, the regular Red Army in Fujian had already increased to as many as 150,000 "violent soldiers" -- not counting the Red Guards and local guerrillas in various localities. As for equipment, because Lin Han paid for the supply, the current Red Army not only has guns. There are more cannons. It has long grown into a giant beast.

The Red Army's weapons, in addition to the old rifles of the First World War eliminated by the German stormtroopers, came from Japan.

The economic crisis of 1933 was devastating to the capitalist countries. It's big enough to want to sell arms. There's nowhere to sell. At that time, the only place in the world that had the ability to digest arms. That is, China. However, in 1933, China was basically at peace, except for the artillery party, which was still at war with the Red Army. In fact, arms consumption is not large.

Lin Han deliberately sent people to buy arms from the Japanese. First, there was already a batch of Japanese-style firearms (captured in Mukden) in the Red Army. In the war with Chen Jitang in Guangdong, the Red Army also captured a number of Japanese weapons. Second, they wanted to drag the Japanese into the water. In the past few years, Lin Hantong guò has frantically used German-style firearms in the Soviet area through various channels, which has long attracted the attention of various forces. Francis, a major arms dealer, is even more registered on the watch lists of various governments. Importing firearms from Japan could drag the Japanese into the water, which was also a way to whitewash the German merchant Francis.

(Note: When Chen Jitang was against Chiang, he received a large amount of military aid from Japan, and his army was equipped with a large number of Japanese weapons, and even Japanese mechanics. ）

Some have questioned whether Germany sold firearms to the Red Army, whether it was Hitler or Hannah who later disguised herself as Hitler, and the counter-argument was that this was the personal act of Francis, an unscrupulous Jewish arms broker. And when Francis was interviewed by foreign reporters, he even said in front of reporters a famous quote that made arms dealers all over the world feel related:

"You say I sold imperialist bullets to socialism, what is that? I myself am categorically against **, but I can't resist the money of **. ”

"Arms dealers have nationality, but the business of arms dealers is international! An arms dealer who does not sell weapons to the enemies of the state does not deserve to be called an international arms dealer! ”

In order to cover up the truth of Germany's aid to the Communist Party, the German big (crab) liar Francis sacrificed a lot, and under Lin Han's arrangement, he dressed himself up as a shameless international arms broker. His words may not have been able to deceive Britain, the United States, and Japan, but it was enough to deceive the people of the Nationalist Government in Nanking -- or there was no need to take the initiative to deceive them at all, as long as they gave them a prevarication. Even in the Nanjing Nationalist Government, Kong Xiangxi, the Minister of Finance under Chairman Song Ziwen, acted as an intermediary between the Red Army and the Germans in the past two years, and in addition, he used fake (crab) banknotes to launder (crab) money for Lin Han, and he also made a lot of money from it.

Profit-seeking is the nature of capital, and even ideology cannot influence interference. Japanese capitalists, in the face of the temptation of money, are also very low. As long as they have money, they sell everything.

From 1932 to 1933, Lin Han aided the Communist Party, including 3,000 "38" large-cover rifles, which came from Japan, and even the Type 92 light infantry guns that had just been manufactured, Japanese businessmen secretly sold several of them. These weapons were passed through the turnaround of Francis from the shore of the island of Dongshan. In addition, there were 1,000 38 big covers from the Taiwan garrison -- the senior officials of the Taiwan garrison secretly withheld the arms ordered by their superiors to aid the 19th Route Army, then stole and sold them to Francis, and then handed them over to the Red Army.

What is the virtue of the Japanese samurai Seven Lives to serve the country, what is this thing? The arms dealers of the Empire of Japan also believed only in money. As for whether the bullets sold by the Imperial Japanese Empire in the future will be turned into the chest of the Imperial Japanese Army by the Red Army, the Japanese arms dealers will not think so much about it.

The four divisions sent by Song Ziwen soon realized that the four cities they had swallowed were not a piece of fat at all, but took the initiative to get into the rat cage that Li Runshi had prepared for them.

In order to seize the surrounding countryside, after taking over four cities and reorganizing the remnants of the 19th Route Army, these four divisions were dispatched at the same time and began to sweep the surrounding countryside. As a result, under the fierce blows of the Red Army, which had been prepared for a long time, all of them suffered a humiliating defeat, and the four divisions became four "and a half divisions" -- this was also the biggest clash between the Nationalist Government and the Red Army in Nanjing in 1933. The reason why these four divisions were able to retreat into the city as "half a division" or "one-third" division was the reason why the Red Army showed mercy to its subordinates, kept their guns and weapons but did not leave any men, and casually released all the captured artillery officers and soldiers back into the city after the battle of annihilation.

In the past two years, Chairman Song, who helped Chang Kaishen knock out countless opponents with silver bullets, lost his blood in Fujian this time, and was brutally pitted by Li Runshi and Jiang Guangding. The four cities of Fujian that he had received had become the stinky flesh of maggots, and not only could not bring any benefits, but he had to transport supplies from Jiangsu and Zhejiang every month to maintain the supplies of these four cities, and in addition, he had to worry all day about whether the Red Army would change its mind and take these four cities -- it was not that they could not obtain supplies from the surrounding countryside by purchasing them, but the surrounding Red Army only recognized silver dollars and gold bars, and did not recognize the legal currency of the artillery party.

Song Ziwen didn't think about giving up these four cities, and the strong man broke his wrist and broke away from the four rat cages prepared for him by Li Runshi. However, the impact of abandoning the city without a fight was too great, and Li Runshi of the Red Army did not want him to do so, but instead used guò to create public opinion and hyped up the importance of "defending Fujian" in the newspapers. Then a group of "celebrities" who escaped from Fujian went to the front of the Nanjing Nationalist Government to cry and lobby, talking about Fuzhou not to be lost, Xiamen not to be abandoned, Quanzhou is very important, Putian cannot flee without a fight, and Song Ziwen, who was so stunned that he wanted to spit out these four pieces of stinky meat, had to pinch his nose and swallow the four stinky meats back.

The reason why Li Runshi spared half the lives of these four divisions was that he deliberately kept the 19th Route Army in one breath, turning these four cities into a wound for Song Ziwen, and at the same time turning him into his own hostage, so that the artillery party would not dare to lightly block the Dongshan Port to the sea.

What Song Ziwen didn't know was that in the historical Battle of Eastern Henan in the Liberation (Crab) Liberation War, it was also because of similar reasons for local celebrities to lobby the national government and shout "Kaifeng cannot be lost", forcing Chang Kaishen, who wanted to break his wrist, not to continue betting, and as a result, Qiu Qingquan and Ou Shounian were compensated for the two corps.

After putting the Nanjing Nationalist Government in a rat cage in Fujian, the Red Army in Jiangxi took the initiative to negotiate peace with Song Ziwen in exchange for a guarantee not to attack the four cities in exchange for the right of navigation at the mouth of the Min River. Although the Red Army seized the mouth of Dongshan Port to the sea, it was still a little farther away from the Red Army's core base and inaccessible. After the opening of the Fujian Sea waterway, there is also an additional channel for the transit of materials. (To be continued......)
