Yan Sanquan ran into Fujitang Gaoying's office, and reported with a huffed waist: "Taisang, the several important targets you asked me to spy on secretly have secretly left Yanjia Town and fled to Erlong Mountain. ”

After listening to the translation, instead of being angry, Fujido Gaoying nodded happily: "Yo Xi." ”

Yan Sanquan was confused, these important targets are all the families of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, not only did little Japan kill them, but also deliberately let them go back, what is going on? Or is little Japan really changing its mind and planning to be a new person? But I don't believe it when I beat him to death, and I don't believe it, and the dog can still eat.

Yan Sanquan left in a daze, Fujido Gaoying turned his head to look at Haneda, the captain of the Longkou County Military Police who had just arrived, and asked with a smile: "Haneda-san, are you also confused, I Weishenme will not kill the families of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but will let them go and go to Erlongshan to reunite with their sons and husbands?" ”

"Hello." Haneda bowed his head and said, "These people actually sent their sons and husbands to the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui to serve as soldiers, and they should be punished if they were against the Imperial Japanese Army, otherwise these people have no reverence for the Imperial Japanese Army, so they won't be messed up?" ”

"Haneda-san, you can't conquer China by killing." Fujido Gao Ying shook his head and said, "In Nanjing, how many people were killed by the Imperial Army in North China?" But have the Chinese yielded? Far from giving in, their will to resist is even more resolute than before, and if they continue to kill, the number of Chinese who hate the imperial army will only increase.

"So what should I do? Let these Chinese send their children to the army and fight against the imperial army? ”

"Of course, it will not work, let the Chinese send their children into the army, and the imperial army will never be able to conquer China." Fujido Gaoying shook his head and said, "However, if you want to stop the Chinese from sending their children to the army as soldiers, I'm afraid you have to try other strategies." ”

"Other strategies, what strategies?"

"Haneda-san, have you heard of the idiom "horse bones?"

"Qianjin City Horse Bone?" Haneda shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. ”

Fujitang Gao Ying explained: "This is talking about a monarch in ancient China, who asked for a thousand miles of horses for three years, and at this time a eunuch took the initiative to ask for this errand, and then, the eunuch spent 500 gold to buy back the bones of a horse, and the monarch was very angry when he found out. ”

Haneda said: "This eunuch is stupid enough, if I am the king, I will have to be angry." ”

Fujitang Gaoying shook his head and said, "But the eunuch said something to the monarch, and the monarch immediately stopped being angry, and the eunuch said to the monarch, "O king, you are willing to spend 500 gold to buy the bones of a thousand horses, will others doubt your sincerity in buying a thousand horses?" You see, in less than three months, someone will definitely come and sell it with thousands of miles. ”

Haneda said thoughtfully: "Understood, Your Excellency General, you deliberately let go of these military dependents in Yanjia Town, which is equivalent to buying horse bones, you want to tell the military families of the entire Longkou County through this matter that the imperial army is very sincere, and then attract them home, right?" ”

Fujido Gao Ying smiled and nodded.

Haneda immediately said again: "However, Your Excellency General, aren't you afraid that these military families will never return?" ”

"No, it won't." Fujitang Gaoying said confidently, "The imperial army is very civilized, one does not kill people, the second does not set fires, and the third does not rape women, moreover, the imperial army also gives enough respect to the Chinese, they can live and work in peace and contentment after they return, weishenme does not come back?" You see, within half a month, the military families who hid in the mountains will have to come back. ”

Haneda said again: "Your Excellency General has made so much effort to deceive these military dependents from the mountains, I'm afraid it's not just to build Longkou County into a model security area in Central China, right?" I wonder what His Excellency General will do next? ”

"Hey, how can this be a lie?" Fujitang Gaoying waved his hand and said, "This is impressed by sincerity, as for the next step, you just wait and see, I want the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui to be defeated without a fight."

"Defeat without a fight?" Haneda said, "This is the highest level of military use in Sun Tzu's Art of War. ”

Fujido Takaei thought so, and said, "Your Excellency Okamura is still clever, and the cage tactics are clever." ”

(Dividing Line)

After basically stabilizing the order in the occupied areas, Fujido Takaei immediately made a second move -- blockade

Fujido Gaoying painted the entire Longkou County in three different colors on the map, the area near the county seat is white, which means that the law and order is good, the area centered on Yanjia Town, Lijia Town, and Hewan Town is blue, which means that the law and order is average, and Erlongshan is painted red, which means that the law and order is very poor.

The red zone on the map is what little Japan is going to blockade.

Fujido Gaoying issued an edict through the puppet government of Longkou County, forcibly recruiting people to build roads, dig trenches, and build a large number of strongholds and turrets in Longkou County, which is also a key step in the entire cage tactics, Fujitang Gaoying intends to completely lock up Erlong through these roads, trenches, strongholds and turrets

In order not to provoke a popular uprising, and at the same time to divide and disintegrate the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui to the greatest extent, Fujido Takaei adopted a strategy of differential treatment when recruiting people.

Those innocent township party members, that is, families with no children serving as soldiers in the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, can be exempted from labor this time, of course, if you want to earn some wages, you can also be conscripted to repair fortifications.

For those township parties whose children served as soldiers in the main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, little Japan finally tore off its camouflage this time to reveal its hideous face, and this part of the township party, even if there are only old people, women and children left in the family, must also serve hard labor, and there is no pay, in vain.

This time, Fujido Gaoying focused on dividing and winning over the militia of the anti-Japanese democratic government.

The decree of the Longkou puppet county government clearly stipulates that all family members of the militia can be exempted from hard labor as long as they persuade their children to return home before the time limit.

As soon as this measure was introduced, the anti-Japanese democratic government of Longkou immediately fell into passivity, and the families of the militia continued to go to Erlongshan to persuade their sons, brothers, or husbands to leave the army and return home.

After all, there is a difference between the militia and the regular army, and whether it is discipline or the will to fight, the militia is far from being able to compare with the regular army.

The two militiamen tried to sneak down the mountain in the dark, and Zuihou was caught by the patrol.

Liu Xin's loyalty to the revolution is not inferior to Yin Shangwen, but in terms of ability, he is a lot worse than Yin Shangwen, in the face of this passive situation, Liu Xin was helpless, and could only convene the county brigade and the district squad to hold meetings again and again, but the effect of the meeting was minimal.

For this sudden situation, Xu Shijiu was also helpless.

What can be done? You can't really shoot all these captured militiamen, right? After all, the militia is not a regular army, and you cannot use the military discipline of the regular army to set strict requirements, and if you have to use the military discipline of the regular army to restrain the militia of the county brigades and district squads, the final result can only be self-isolation from the people.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Xu Shijiu felt that it was better to be blocked, so he simply relaxed the restrictions and allowed the militia of the county brigade and the district squad to go down the mountain and go home.
