Chapter 8: Guerrilla (19)

After obtaining the consent of everyone present, Mo Di moved his study from the 31st Army in Dingjiang to the headquarters of the 16th Group Army by the Taohua River in Xishan, where the news was more complete and complete. Zhou Zuhuang set aside a small room next to his office, which contained desks and chairs, as well as a large number of telegrams and documents, except that these things could not be taken away, no matter how they looked at it. Hai Jingqiang felt that Mo Di really wanted to understand the battle situation, and got some top-secret documents from his uncle Bai Chongxi into Mo Di's small study. The most important thing is that Zhang Yongfa's young boss Zhang Xiangpu can do things, and he got a three-gun bicycle for Mo Di, so that he can come to Xishan to work every day, and go back to Dongxiang at noon and night to eat and live. Mo Di is not polite, every time he goes back to dinner, he will pull Zhong Jihai Jingqiang up, drink and fart together, and the two just want to listen to Mo Di tell the inference and comment on the battle situation, and they also go unceremoniously. Zhang Xiangpu was very happy to be able to get to know a few more Gui Shaozhuang, and served him with good wine and food every day.

According to the data, the Statistics Office of the Executive Yuan of the Kuomintang Government issued a communiqué that as of the end of October, there were 796 counties in 9 provinces under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China, of which 489 counties (61.44 percent) were complete, 248 counties (31.5 percent) were able to exercise their powers within the jurisdiction of county magistrates, and 59 counties (7.41 percent) were unable to exercise their powers at all. Mo Di sighed, when he left Qianshan before, there was no county magistrate in Qianshan, Jiang Chunyang was living the addiction of the county magistrate, it is said that there is no county magistrate in Taihu Lake, Ma Weixin went into battle with his bare arms, and he also did the county master for a few days, it seems that this situation is not a minority, and the management of the Republic of China in its own jurisdiction has reached the extent that it is impossible to leave the house. Guangxi is still relatively complete, Guangdong is only half left, Henan, Hebei, and Shandong are afraid that there are very few county magistrates left in office. When he left Qianshan, Yang Kezhi became the county magistrate of Huaining County, and his deputy Cao Yufu also served as the county magistrate of Lujiang County.

Beginning in November, while the Japanese army continued to bomb indiscriminately, the offensive on the ground was also carried out in a focused manner, and the Japanese army led by the Sixth Division set out from Wuhan and moved south along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, first descending to Yueyang, and approaching Changsha. Frightened, the defenders of Changsha first became a mess, and under the supreme instructions of the misunderstanding of the "scorched earth war of resistance", they actually burned a fire and burned Changsha City to ashes.

In order to stabilize the pace of the Japanese army on the Yuehan Road, all theaters of the country took action to strike at the Japanese troops in their areas. The 138th Division of the 48th Army of the Fifth Theater regained Lu'an, Xu Ping's loyal and righteous National Salvation Army's Liu Qinglong and Yuan Dou's troops recovered Fei, and Ma Weixin's troops recovered Taihu. The troops of the Southern Hebei Military Region of the Communist Party of China and more than 30,000 Japanese troops fought against the "sweeping" in Nangong, Jixian, Zaoqiang, Weixian and other places for two months, smashing the "sweeping" of the Japanese puppet army and effectively reinforcing the anti-Japanese battlefield on the Guangdong-Han line.

Huang Tianhua spent almost a month of leisure days in Taihu Lake, and asked Shi Chong's people to go to Qianshan to inquire about the news every day, he knew that those who let them leave and welcomed the Japanese puppet army into Qianshan regretted that their intestines were blue, they didn't expect that the Japanese army was still easy to do, just raise and drink enough, they usually mostly shrank in the barracks, and recruited the * in Qianshan City to have fun, and did not disturb the people. Some Japanese also brought large quantities of Japanese goods, which were traded on an equal footing with the locals. On the contrary, the puppet army of a regiment is like more than a thousand wolves, scurrying around and robbing everywhere, and they have become the real masters of this place. Whoever has grown up will immediately have someone to propose marriage, promise to marry or not, and have enough dowry, otherwise they will go to your house with a platoon of real guns.

Qianshan City kept making jokes, Shi Chong's people returned to Taihu Lake every day there was news, and the previous Hu family also suffered, he was appointed as the clerk of Qianshan by Liang Hongzhi and Wen Zongyao, a legislator of the Nanjing Republic of China Restoration Government, thinking that from now on the green shirt will be changed to a red robe, but I didn't expect that the reality is too worry-free. After the puppet army arrived in Qianshan, he almost drove him crazy just by eating, and after that, there were a lot of county magistrates and deputy county magistrates above, and he, the secretary, turned out to be unpopular, and after that, he had nothing to do with him except for the banquet banquet every day to invite the county leaders.

And the puppet army's nonsense in Qianshan has also reached the level of complaining.

Hu Lao once again found Wu Lao and Jian Lao, discussed for a long time, and finally made up his mind that if he wanted to live a good life again, unless he went to Governor Huang of Taihu Lake and asked Director Jiang to continue to be the county magistrate of Qianshan.

On this day, the figure of Jian Lao appeared in Huang Tianhua's headquarters, Hu Lao stayed under the nose of the puppet army every day, and it was impossible to come up with a trip, so he had to entrust the important task to Jian Lao.

"Elder Jane?" Seeing the person coming, Huang Tianhua put down the teacup in his hand and stood up: "I haven't seen you for more than half a month, when I look at Jian Lao's appearance, his face is full of red light, he must have made a fortune!" How did you get to Taihu Lake today? Whether it is a visit to relatives or friends. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, Chief Huang said with a smile, I'm already disgraced and disgraced, where will I still be red." Jian Lao smiled: "I made a special trip to see you today, Chief Huang, did you say that you are visiting relatives or friends?" ”

"Hehehehehe! Came to see me? Hehe, the military and civilians are a family, that is, they are relatives. Huang Tianhua said, "Please sit down and serve tea." ”

After Elder Jian sat down, his entourage took out a large number of gifts, placed them on Huang Tianhua's table one by one, and said: "I remember that when Chief Huang was in Qianshan, he had a soft spot for melon basket seeds in Tianzhu Mountain, and he hadn't eaten them for more than half a month, so I specially brought some to give Chief Huang an aftertaste. ”

Jian Lao brought a lot of gifts, in addition to Tianzhu Mountain melon basket seeds, there are also newly picked Tianzhu Mountain stone fungus, the best Tianzhu Jianhao tea, in addition to some dim sum food, there are Snow Lake Tribute Lotus, Anhui Gong Tribute Cake, Tianzhu Fragrant Duck and so on, full of a table.

"Is Jian Lao going to set up a stall?" Huang Tianhua said with a smile.

"It's all some local slang, not a tribute, I know that Chief Huang is not good at yellow and white, and he is only slightly interested in these things, which can be regarded as his favorites!" Jian Lao said.

Huang Tianhua shook his head, it's not that he is not good at yellow and white things, it's that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and if he wants to get it, he can get a big order, and the interests of the common people are really not interested. said: "Jian Lao came from afar, it is not as simple as sending me some hidden mountain specialties, there should be other things, right?" ”

"Chief Huang is really as wise as a torch, and what I do will never avoid Chief Huang's eyes." Elder Jane sighed.

The so-called thousands of people don't wear sycophants, everyone loves to hear this kind of words, Huang Tianhua knew that it was sycophants, and he was also happy to smile, and said: "Old Jane, don't tease me as a child, the so-called nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace, when you come to the old age, there must be something." ”

"Hehehehe, what Chief Huang means, I am the night owl, the so-called night owl enters the house, and he won't come if it's okay." Jian Lao also quipped.

The two laughed. After laughing, Jian Lao sighed and said, "This time, I'm really the night owl." ”

Next, Jian Laosheng tearfully counted the puppet army's nonsense in Qianshan during this time, and he couldn't cry when he was emotional. The people of Qianshan can suffer from them, it is not counted as rampant expropriation, it is a trivial matter to run rampant, how much can be given to two by forced sale, and the most important thing is that they are bent on finding a wife, and the big girls in Qianshan City are under their surveillance. In the story, Jian Lao also added a method of contrast, comparing the previous behavior of the Huang Tianhua Department in Qianshan with the behavior of the appeasement army, talking about the good impression of the Huang Tianhua department, and gritting his teeth when talking about the appeasement army, the contrast is quite strong. If it weren't for what happened to him, Huang Tianhua was almost moved by the other party's story.

"The reason why we have been staying in Taihu Lake and not going to Qianshan is because we promised you that we will withdraw from Qianshan." Huang Tianhua said: "At that time, the three of you invited us out of Qianshan on behalf of the Qianshan people to make way for the appeasement army. Now it is not easy to enter the buried mountain, the offensive and defensive transposition, even if we take the buried mountain, there will be a lot of damage, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

When Jian Lao heard this, he was three points of shame, five points of difficulty, and two points of hope, and said: "As long as you go back to the hidden mountain, if you have any requirements, we will definitely do it." ”

"It's hard." Huang Tianhua said: "You just said that as soon as these appeasement troops arrived in Qianshan, they were busy marrying the girls in Qianshan as wives and making themselves the aunts of Qianshan. ”

"No, no, no! Whether these people are forcibly hired, or forcibly blind dates, there is only one rule, they will not get married until the Winter Solstice Festival, as long as these people are killed on the Winter Solstice Festival, our girls in Qianshan are still girls. Those dogs are still dogs. Therefore, please also ask Chief Huang to do it as soon as possible, so as not to let these dogs succeed in their conspiracy. ”

"Alright! I agree. Huang Tianhua thought for a while and said, "However, you have to cooperate in this matter." ”

"Okay, as long as we can do it, we will do it." Elder Jane replied loudly.

Only then did Huang Tianhua tell the plan in his heart, and this plan had been formed in his heart for a long time!

Soon after coming to Taihu Lake, Huang Tianhua said that he wanted to take down Qianshan, and if the county was lost in his own hands, he should get it back in his own hands, not to mention that he was accompanied by Jiang Chunyang, the magistrate of Qianshan County, who had not been appointed. However, the hidden mountain is not so easy to take, the high walls of Meicheng City are thick, and it cannot be attacked, and the diving circle of the city cannot be detoured, if you want to take the hidden mountain, you can only start from the inside. Shi Chong's reconnaissance troops are in and out of Qianshan these days, and basically have a general understanding of the defense of Qianshan, the Japanese army has put down an infantry brigade headquarters here, although a squadron died on the way to Yuexi, and a squadron died in Taihu Lake, but it did not affect the defense of Qianshan, and an infantry artillery squadron has moved to Qianshan, and its strength has increased greatly. The appeasement army is a full regiment here, and the commander of this regiment has come up with a trick of marriage, wanting to quickly integrate himself with the hidden mountain people, and he is a man with ideas. It's easier said than done to lay down a hidden mountain.

You have to wait, wait until there are Qianshan people to ask for help, and your plan can be implemented smoothly, Jian Lao's arrival, Huang Tianhua knows that Qianshan has been taken.
