"According to our recent investigation, Okamura Ninji has indeed used a lot of means." In the war room, Chief of Staff Zhou talked eloquently: "It can be roughly divided into four aspects, politics, economy, military, and intelligence. ”

"On the political side, the main thing is to hype up the goodwill between Japan and China, and to vigorously advocate the victory of the Japanese army in the Pacific Theater and the Soviet Far East."

……

Political Commissar Cheng frowned slightly, and said: "The latter point is very unfavorable to us, many people are pessimistic and disappointed when they hear that the Japanese have defeated even the British, Americans, and Russians. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou nodded and said, "Well, there is indeed such a problem. Not only the ordinary people, but also many of our own cadres have been shaken. ”

Historically, between 42 and 43 there was a wave of surrenders to the enemy. The reason for this is that in addition to the Japanese army's deliberate division and co-optation, the Japanese army's successive victories in the Pacific theater are also important reasons. In the face of such a powerful opponent, many people feel pessimistic and hopeless, and even lose confidence in the victory of the war. In this time and space, although the situation behind enemy lines in North China was much better, the Japanese army even beat the Soviet Union together, which made many people feel shocked and frightened. It feels like no one can make a little devil.

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said: "Propaganda war, we can also use the same way to fight back against the Japanese army, and use the way of others to control their bodies." He said to Professor Yang: "But there must be a special person in charge of this matter!" ”

Professor Yang said with a smile: "Thanks to the commander's attention, the old man will pick up the burden." I just don't know where to start? ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment. smiled: "Hehe, propaganda, of course, it's the opposite of the Japanese." When Okamura Ninji talks about Japan-China friendship and mutual support, we must expose the essence of their aggression and enslavement of China. When they talk about victory in the Pacific theater, we must point out the fact that the Japanese army is weak and about to collapse. Also, aren't there a lot of baby soldiers and old men in the ranks of the Japanese army now? This can be a good article, so that everyone knows that Japan can't even recruit qualified soldiers, isn't this a sign of destruction? ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Liao Yaoxiang, commander of the armored cavalry division, asked curiously: "General seat." How long do you think the little devil will last? ”

Zheng Weiguo pondered for a moment. He replied, "Two or three years!" ”

"Report!" A confidential telegraph operator suddenly arrived.

Chief of Staff Zhou asked, "What's going on?" ”

The confidential telegraph operator hurriedly said: "Report to the seat, it is a confidential message that is urgently encrypted!" ”

"Oh!" Chief of Staff Zhou nodded and said, "Take it in!" After he signed, he opened it and looked at it, suddenly with a happy face, and hurriedly handed the telegram to Zheng Weiguo and said, "The main seat." The Soviets agreed to allow the anti-coalition forces to enter the Eastern Siberian region. However, the ministry was required to accept the unified command of the Soviet Union. ”

After the beginning of spring. The Japanese again launched an attack on the Soviets. In the face of a powerful offensive launched by the Kwantung Army. The Soviet army was again defeated. Along with it, the situation on the Western Front began to deteriorate sharply. Seeing that the demise of the country was imminent, the Soviet Union could not care so much. Every straw must be grasped.

When Political Commissar Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Commander, I remember that the Americans had promised to transport a batch of supplies from Alaska, right?" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I do have this intention, but most of this road is in an extremely cold area, the road conditions are complicated, and it can only be opened to traffic for half a year a year, so the supply capacity is very limited." ”

Political Commissar Cheng smiled and said busily: "Hey, commander, you can't say that!" Now we can't get any foreign aid, can there be one of them, right? No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou also smiled: "Not bad! And this supply shortage is also temporary, as long as we can gain a foothold in the Eastern Siberian region, will the follow-up troops be able to expand? As long as we have sufficient troops, the wider the scope of control, and it will be more convenient to receive supplies at that time. Maybe we can create a new strategic area in the Outer Northeast! ”

Zheng Weiguo approvingly: "Well, it depends on how well the anti-coalition forces fight!" He waved his hand again and said: "Okay, this matter involves the Anti-Japanese Federation, the United States, and the Soviet Union, and it is not something that we can solve in a few words." Let's continue with the previous topic! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou nodded, and then said, "Yes, General Seat." In the economic aspect, the Japanese army also changed its previous style of buying and selling by force, and changed to covert holdings, industrial dumping, and unified purchase of raw materials. ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little ashamed. This incident is really laughable to say. Originally, relying on the Bank of Jizhong, Jizhong Province has built a large number of enterprises, including cotton, grain, coal, fur and other industries related to the lifeblood of the base area. These companies actually form a large consortium. Thus successfully controlling the economy of North China. This is also the reason why a corner of Hebei can support so many troops.

But Japan is also cunning, after all, they have been in capitalist society for a long time. In the field of finance and economics, it is clearly more proficient than the Chinese. After some tossing, I really suffered a lot of losses. Fortunately, the security department is not a vegetarian, and after discovering the unknown fund movements, they immediately began to investigate, and several Japanese-funded agents were found in a row.

Chief of Staff Zhou also said: "In terms of military affairs, I believe everyone has some understanding. The main thing is to repair the fortifications, and now the fortifications along the former railway line are numerous and dense, and they are extremely strong. ”

Political Commissar Cheng wondered: "Aren't Japan's resources all tilted towards the South Seas?" Even if there is a surplus, it has to be supplied to the Kwantung Army first, where did Okamura Ninji get so much steel, cement, and masonry? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled slightly and said, "This matter has something to do with us. ”

Political Commissar Cheng said curiously: "How do you say it? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou explained: "Haven't we been secretly purchasing cement and other building materials in recent years? ”

Political Commissar Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, now the construction of underground fortifications, artillery bunkers, and large-scale fortifications like Ping'an County is inseparable from this play!" As he spoke, it dawned on him. Busy said: "It's been a long time, Okamura Ningji is using us to develop the enterprise?" I said why is it so convenient to get cement, it turns out that the little devil is not at ease at all! ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Yes, Okamura's hand is indeed a stroke of genius. In a sense, it is using our money to run a military industrial enterprise. In the eyes of the Japanese army, no matter how strong our fortifications were, they would be vulnerable. But they probably didn't expect to run into a bloody encounter in Ping'an County. ”

Everyone laughed heartily when they heard this, and they all mocked Okamura Ninji for stealing chickens and rice.

Chief of Staff Zhou coughed, and then said: "In the short term, the Japanese army has indeed suffered losses. But in the long run. But it's not good for us! ”

Professor Yang wondered, "How do you say that?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou explained: "First. These building materials companies have always been in the hands of the Japanese. If we don't buy it, it will be difficult for the fortifications to meet the standards; When I bought it, I was actually adding bricks and tiles to the fortifications of the Japanese. Because the Japanese will continue to strengthen their fortifications with the money they earn. ”

"This second point, although the Japanese army failed to capture the Ping'an County Arsenal. But it is also difficult for us to conquer the large strongholds of the Japanese army now. Of course. It's not that it can't be broken. Rather, from a military point of view, it is not cost-effective. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, that's true!" Now there are more than 50 such large bases. And it continues to increase. If we fight down one by one, we will also have a lot of vitality. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "And if you don't fight, you can't do it, if you wait for the Japanese army to fully control these sections, I'm afraid that the restoration of the railway will also begin." At that time, the base areas will return to the difficult situation they had before. ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled slightly and said, "Okamura Ningji's idea is still very good, but he overestimates Japan's national strength too much. At the same time, we underestimate our ability to attack fortifications. ”

Political Commissar Cheng smiled: "So, the commander already has a plan?" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "I discussed this issue with the chief of staff a few days ago. My opinion is: First, it is necessary to step up the infiltration of the eastern Hebei region and, of course, the Jianghuai region, and sabotage the railways in these two directions more thoroughly. In this way, even if the Japanese army tried to repair the railway, it would not be able to do it for a while. The second point is that those turtle shells repaired by the Japanese army must also be beaten, but they cannot be fought one after another, but they must be fought selectively! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou was puzzled: "General seat, what is this selection criterion?" ”

Zheng Weiguo explained: "The main thing is to see the degree of harm to the people around the stronghold, those fascist thugs must be resolutely eliminated, and at the same time, they will also deter other Japanese troops." ”

Political Commissar Cheng agreed: "Well, this plan is good, it not only blows at the enemy's arrogance, but also protects the people, and deepens our position in the eyes of the people!" ”

Professor Yang agreed: "Not bad! In the final analysis, our biggest backers are not Germans, Russians, or Americans, but hundreds of millions of people in North China. No matter how we develop in the future, we must not deviate from the path of relying on the masses and caring for the masses. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou was puzzled: "Then if the Japanese army doesn't harm the masses, will we still fight?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "It depends on military needs, and of course you have to fight if you have the opportunity." However, it is also necessary to strengthen the political offensive and propaganda offensive. Since the beginning of this year, more and more Japanese troops have been taken prisoner, and even the Japanese army has surrendered in formation, which was unimaginable in the past. In my opinion, Japan itself is almost unable to hold on, and this year is a watershed moment! After surviving this year, the dawn of victory is just around the corner! ”

Everyone slapped excitedly when they heard this, and couldn't help but cheer in a low voice. The guards standing outside the door all looked inside in surprise.

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Let me talk about intelligence again, and I think this point is very worthy of everyone's attention. Some time ago, have you heard of the suicide of the guard of Mr. Peng of the Eighth Route Army? ”

Political Commissar Cheng asked in surprise: "Is there anything else?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile: "Didn't you go to the troops below some time ago to inspect the ideological work of the troops?" Because of the bad nature of this matter, the news is very tightly blocked, and Professor Yang and I know about it for the time being. ”

Political Commissar Cheng sighed and said busily: "Tell us quickly, what's going on?" ”

In fact, the Japanese army's assassination campaign against the top brass of the Eighth Route Army has never been suspended. Of course, not only the Japanese, but also Chairman Chang Kaishen's subordinates were also involved. Before 42 years, it was mainly Chang Kaishen's manpower, and after 42 years, it was mostly Japanese spies. In short, both Japan and China have planted quite a number of secret agents in the base areas. Among them, the biggest threat to the Eighth Route Army was a man named Liu Sanzhu.

Liu Sanzhu is a very skillful person, and he is a large landowner in Matian Town, Liao County, where the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is located. At the same time, he was also the director of the local branch of the Kuomintang. When the Eighth Route Army marched into Matian, he was very enthusiastic, and he also gave up one of his compounds to the headquarters to live in. Therefore, in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, he was a rare enlightened landlord who belonged to the object of unity.

In fact, this guy is neither enlightened nor united. When the Kuomintang troops were there, he was the director of the Kuomintang office in Matian; As soon as the Japanese came, he transformed. immediately became the maintenance president of Matian; The bandits are coming. He joined the Tianmen Society and became a member of the Tianmen Society. Originally, under that circumstance at that time, it was not impossible to make a false deal with the enemy, but he later completely surrendered to the enemy. He became an amphibious agent of the Japanese army and the Kuomintang.

1940 year. Liu Sanzhu accepted the secret order of the Kuomintang. Prepare to assassinate Mr. Peng. He successively arranged an assassination team, wanting to take advantage of Mr. Peng's night meeting to come back and walk through a low wall. Fortunately, he was discovered by the guards and quickly blocked Mr. Peng with his body, but the bullet shot from the woods hit the young guard.

By the way, historically this assassination took place precisely during the period of the "Battle of the Hundred Regiments". At the same time as the Kuomintang assassinated Mr. Peng, they also killed Mr. Peng's two elder brothers in his hometown.

After the failure of this assassination, the Eighth Route Army strengthened its defense of the headquarters. Liu Sanzhu realized that it would not work to send someone to assassinate him, so he began to think of other methods, such as poisoning the well. As a result, many innocent villagers were poisoned, but Mr. Peng survived.

After Okamura Ninji took over North China, he engaged in a "covert maintenance" plan in response to policies such as "two-faced regime" and "white-skinned and red-hearted", and Liu Sanzhu defected to the enemy without saying a word. That is, he is ostensibly the mayor of the Eighth Route Army, but he is actually the maintenance chairman of the Japanese. Not to mention, this Okamura Ningji is really yin, and his learning ability is also very strong, and this move of "returning the other way to the other" is very Gusu Murong's demeanor.

With the support of the Japanese, Liu Sanzhu found a large number of female spies, and then specifically seduced the personnel of the Eighth Route Army headquarters. As a result, the guard Wang Manxing was unfortunately recruited. At that time, a female spy named Mei Fang was dispatched, and she found out that Wang Manxing's hometown had a cousin, so she took refuge in the name of Wang Manxing's cousin, lying that her hometown was occupied by devils, and she had no way out. Wang Manxing knew that there was a cousin in his hometown, but he had never met. Mei Fang helped him sew and wash clothes, and sent tea and water, and slowly Wang Manxing had feelings for her. Mei Fang took advantage of the situation to lure her with lust, and soon pulled Wang Manxing into the water.

After Wang Manxing fell into the trap, Mei Fang Meilian revealed her true form and proposed to Wang Manxing that he poison Peng Dehuai's food. Wang Manxing suddenly realized at this time, knowing that he had been deceived. Out of loyalty to Peng Dehuai, Wang Manxing categorically rejected Mei Fang's request, angrily accusing her of being a poisonous scorpion and wanting to expose her. Mei Fang sneered and said, "Whoever exposes whom, it's me who wants to expose." ”

Mei Fang took out a fragrant purse from Wang Manxing's satchel and further threatened: "This is evidence. If you dare to expose it, you will expose you for raping me! ”

The Eighth Route Army is strictly disciplined and is absolutely not allowed to mess with the relationship between men and women. Don't look at Wang Manxing as a hero on the battlefield, but he is helpless in this kind of thing, and he is very scared! After thinking about it, he decided to avoid everything by dying, and turned the muzzle of the gun that should have been aimed at the enemy.

It is worth mentioning that after the case was solved, Mr. Peng once stated: "Liu Sanzhu collaborated with the enemy and treason, the crime cannot be punished, and now the net can be closed." It's just that the female spy still has a child, and she can't be killed. After a pause, he said: "There are many people who want to kill Peng Dehuai, but not necessarily all of the people who kill me." This is really in stark contrast to Chang Kaishen's method of killing people and not killing the whole family.

However, later the female spy Mei Xiang was still executed by the Eighth Route Army, because in the later detection process, it was found that she also participated in many poisoning schemes, resulting in the death of many villagers, which is really a heinous crime!

After hearing this, everyone sighed. Political Commissar Cheng was shocked and hurriedly said, "What else is there to maintain?" So do we have one? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled bitterly: "There are too!" ”

Political Commissar Cheng was furious and scolded: "These guys who eat inside and out, I can't spare them!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said in a deep voice: "This incident shows that the current struggle between the enemy and us has become more complicated, not only are we infiltrating the enemy, but the enemy is also infiltrating us!" ”

Professor Yang agreed: "No wonder the commander often told us to work on the details! It seems that this Okamura Ninji's methods are indeed much more delicate than the previous ones, which is difficult to prevent, and we must also deal with it carefully, with meticulous to meticulous, to see whose kung fu arrives at home. ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "This is also what I want to say. Although traitors and traitors pose a great threat to us, as long as we do not mess with our own positions, they will not be able to make big waves. From another point of view, the Japanese army can only use the inferior means of seduction and assassination to deal with us, which shows that they are already poor in donkey skills, but they are just dying! ”

After the meeting was adjourned, the policies of the Second Theater began to be adjusted. On the military front, all units have started a new round of large-scale military training, which is actually a rehearsal for the upcoming large-scale counteroffensive. In the political aspect, it is to standardize political power at all levels, and in accordance with the principle of the three-three system, the local governments in all base areas have begun to rectify and reform, and in addition to the local troops, the main forces have been separated from the local governments, and special field armies have been formed one after another.

At the same time, the anti-coalition forces, which had been resting in the Suiyuan region for more than two years, began to advance in batches towards the Outer Mongolia region, where they would pass through the vast forests of Siberia and then enter the Chukotka Peninsula near the Arctic Circle. There, the United States and Canada will supply them with weapons and supplies.

Tieling rock, dense with trees

Torrential rain and strong winds, the roar of war horses on the waterside of the wasteland

The fire is united, and the sky is full of red

Comrades! Ruizhi even if Songjiang is born late

Get up! Charge boldly

Day by day, the northeast is restored, and the sky is dawning

The brilliance is surging

……

Heroes! Sincere struggle swept through Nenjiangyuan

Wei Zhixi! How can it be destroyed

Unite to go to the country and overcome difficulties

Take back my rivers and mountains!

Red flags marched north with loud singing. The other officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army in the Second War Zone couldn't sit still, and asked one after another, asking: "General seat, the Anti-United Nations has fought back, when will you take us back to our hometown!" ”

Zheng Weiguo replied with a smile: "It's soon, don't be anxious, it's our turn to counterattack soon!" (To be continued......)
