Chapter 8: Guerrilla (1)

One day in early November, Mo Di met an old friend Li Benyi, whom he had not met for a long time, in Qianshan.

I haven't seen him for a few months, Li Benyi has obviously gained weight, and he has served as the chief of staff in Li Pinxian's Fourth Army for a few months, and after the battle, the corps headquarters has been abolished, and the people drawn from various units have returned to their original units, only Li Benyi has become a homeless person, and the 173rd Division he was in before was transferred to the 84th Army, and the previous position has long been occupied. In the end, Bai Chongxi proposed the establishment of the 5th Administrative Region (Jiashan District) of Anhui Province, which governed Mingguang, with Li Benyi as the inspector and commander of the 10th Guerrilla Column.

"That's a good move!" Mo Di raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Li Benyi: "Whoever goes to Jiashan, they are all the commanders of the light pole, only you go to Jiashan differently, there is Xu Ping's Eastern Anhui Loyal Salvation Army, you give an order, they dare not obey." ”

"Holy shit! I thought about it all the way, and I couldn't figure out why I was sent to Jiashan, but when you said that, I understood that the above was originally playing this abacus. Li Benyi picked up the big cup in front of him and drank it all.

"Your Excellency Commander Li, you don't care if he is a bare pole or a long hair, you are a major general recognized by the Interpretation Hall, and you are a genuine general. Chen Zhengxin said with a smile.

"Zhengxin is right, after the second army of devils was launched, there was basically no regular army of Japanese devils south of the Yellow Flood Area, and in the area of Bengbu Mingguang Hefei, Xu Ping became the largest military force, no one could bully him, and no one dared to bully you. You are leisurely there, first take a second room, have a fat boy, and in a few years you can be promoted to lieutenant general, and then return to your hometown, return to your family's two acres of land in Yangjiawan, Rongxian County, build an ancestral house, and go hand in hand with Chief Wei Yunsong and Chief Xia Wei. Jiang Chunyang also quipped on the side.

The crowd laughed.

Li Benyi came from Li Pinxian's side, and more or less grasped some military information, which was relatively invincible to these lonely troops, and these news were fresh and exciting, and they were drooling one by one. In Li Benyi's mouth, Huang Tianhua knew the general trend of China after the fall of Wuhan.

In Guangdong, Yu Hanmou, who is known as Yu Han's unconspiracy, had a little plan this time, although he ceded the Pearl River Delta to the Japanese, but he entangled the Japanese army in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, and although the Japanese 21st Army occupied Guangzhou, it could not take a step north.

The Japanese army occupied Wuhan, and the 11th Army also exhausted the last bit of strength, and the long supply lines and long battle lines made the Japanese base camp overstretched, and it was no longer able to launch large-scale operations. The most important thing is that the Chinese government has an inexhaustible spirit, and what is unpleasant to say is that Chiang Kai-shek's cheekiness is completely beyond the Japanese cognition, according to China's thousands of years of tradition, occupying the national capital means defeat, and defeat should admit defeat, even if it is like Emperor Chongzhen hanging himself on a crooked neck tree, that is also the backbone of the royal family. But the old Jiang is very different, Nanjing occupies the capital of Wuhan, Wuhan occupies the capital of Chongqing, even if he occupies Chongqing, he can still move the capital to Kunming and Lanzhou. The tenacity of the Chinese is far beyond the expectations of the Japanese, and the land can be occupied, but the ambition of the Chinese army and people to fight a decisive battle to the end has not diminished in the slightest, especially in North China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the base areas behind enemy lines have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and a large area of land in Jin-Cha-Ji and Jin-Ji Luyu has become the sphere of influence of the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party of China. The base camp of the Japanese army sincerely realized that in order to fundamentally eliminate China's anti-Japanese spirit and fundamentally occupy China, it is necessary to take a long-term view.

Both sides needed a little time to reorganize their troops and adjust their breathing, so after the Japanese occupied Wuhan and Guangzhou, the two sides unexpectedly stopped and entered the stage of strategic confrontation.

Leaving Li Benyi to live in Qianshan City for a few days, taking Li Benyi to wander around Qianshan City, Huang Degui, who was doing business in the market, attracted Li Benyi's attention, a wounded soldier with bandages on his head, guarding a small stall, and leaning on a cane behind him. On the stall, it turned out to be earthen fire nitrate and small iron sand, and there were several handmade crossbows and a large number of crossbow arrows at one end. A few peasant-looking people were arguing in front of the stalls, and they fell in love with the fire and fine iron sand, which were the necessary things for shotguns, with which they could go up the mountain to hunt, and the prey they caught could be exchanged for money. There are not many large animals in Dabie Mountain, but there are many birds and animals, which is a paradise for good hunters. On another stall, there was also a wounded soldier guarding the stall, and on the stall were Japanese standard bayonets of 38 guns, row by row, pile by pile, there were one or two hundred. The 38 bayonet was originally designed as a dagger, with a handle and a blade still guarding, and with a leather sheath, it was a good tool for home travel. In China, knives have always been forbidden, and iron tools and knives are strictly managed in rural areas.

"Tianzong, do these wounded soldiers plan to make a living from this in the future?" Li Benyi asked.

"Learn to do business first." Mo Di said: "They can't fight and sell their lives, they can only sell goods, and their lives are still very long, since they can not die, they must learn to live." ”

"It's brutal!" Li Benyi said.

"Not necessarily." Mo Di said: "If they really learn to do business, they are afraid that they will live better than us in the future, and we will not be able to fight a lifetime of war, one day we will finish the battle, and one day we will have to live the life of the common people, at that time, we may have to ask these veterans to take more care." ”

Li Benyi shook his head and said: "You always have so many strange ideas, I will eat a day's salary when I am a soldier for a day, and once I am discharged from the army, I will have a few settling-in allowances, and when I return to Rong County, I will plant back my few acres of land, don't say that you don't have land!" As I know, the provincial government has used land to redeem your materials several times, and all of you are landlords. ”

Mo Di smiled, in the Gui system, it is no secret that the 1056 regiment is getting richer and richer, this regiment can not only fight but also earn, and everyone is full of oil.

Originally, he brought Li Benyi to visit the market, just to let Li Benyi feel what local management is, since he is the commissioner of the fifth administrative region, the food, drink and Lazar of the people in the Jiashan area must be put on the agenda, it seems that Li Benyi has not yet entered the state. In the past half a month, Mo Enemy was in Qianshan, arranging troops to sweep the streets every day, sweeping the garbage on the streets into piles and burning them, and then cleaning them out. At first, the common people thought that the 1056 regiment was engaged in some kind of exercise, but after knowing that it was sanitation, they quickly joined in. As the soldiers of the 1056th Regiment sent a large number of materials into the market, and then arranged some wounded soldiers to guard the stalls, the common people were even more curious, why good people did not come out to do business, let the wounded soldiers do things, only to know afterwards that it was the healthy soldiers who set up the stalls to transport goods, and the wounded soldiers only watched the stalls to do business, as for those healthy soldiers, they had to go back to the camp to practice. It is better for a wounded soldier to do business than a healthy soldier, and he has problems of his own, and it is difficult for him to even stand up, let alone buy and sell by force, and to be friendly and angry, and to have a good deal. With the wounded soldier market, Qianshan immediately became the material distribution center of this area, the common people also participated, all kinds of materials from all over the gathering Qianshan and then dispersed, at the beginning, the sale of Japanese goods is still a little sneaky, it turned out that the people of the 1056 regiment not only do not interfere, but also vigorously support, Oriental goods and Western goods, buy and sell at will, so, from Anqing to send Japanese goods to Qianshan traders increased greatly, depressed each other's prices, and pressed the usually noble foreign goods lower than the local goods, so that the people in the mountains made some cheap.

Huang Degui discussed with the president of the Qianshan County Chamber of Commerce and a group of people to sort out the old market, all the stalls can only be sold in the old market, and those who exceed the scope will be confiscated at a rate, and Zhao Guolong's people put a white turn on their sleeves and wrote two big words: "police", which is in charge of this matter. On the eighth day, the old market was a little overwhelmed, and Huang Degui began to collect money.

Mo Di smiled and said to Huang Tianhua: It seems that there is Lao Huang, we can say goodbye to robbery!

After staying for a few days, Li Benyi was ready to take up his post, Huang Tianhua thought simply, and proposed to send Li Benyi directly to Gaohebu, Yang Kezhi to Yuan Doushu in Xiangxi, and then Yuan Doushu to Liu Qinglong in Xiangdong, and then Liu Qinglong to Wolf's Nest Mountain, and Xu Ping to accompany him to Mingguang to take office.

Li Benyi did not agree to do this, he did not want to pass through the territory of the New Fourth Army, he decided to go up to Yuexi from Qianshan, and then from Yuexi through Huoshan to Lu'an, and from Lu'an to Hefei, before going to Mingguang.

Mo Di asked him why he did this, Li Benyi said that when he set off, Li Pinxian said to him, go to Mingguang, because of the formation of the Yellow Flood Area, the Japanese are no longer a threat, relatively speaking, the bigger opponent is the New Fourth Army. Zhang Yunyi, Chen Yi, and Su Yu crossed the river, and Gao Jingting in Jiangbei became one, and their strength increased greatly. The area occupied by Gao Jingting was limited before, and they couldn't support too many people, so they were bound to expand around them, and at present, it seemed that the most likely place to enter was Xu Ping's jurisdiction. Therefore, Li Benyi was transferred over and the Fifth Administrative Region of Anhui was established to establish a stable grass-roots management organization in this region, so as to fundamentally cut off the idea of the New Fourth Army entering the north of Chaohu Lake. The area east of the canal is vast, and when the water level of the Yellow River drops when winter comes, Chen Yi and Su Yubu are asked to cross the Grand Canal and enter northern Jiangsu, so that they can develop a base in this vacuum area.

Mo Di nodded, the central government's idea is good, if the New Fourth Army develops eastward, there is still a lot of space. It's just that he doesn't dare to agree with Li Benyi's statement next. Li Benyi said that the New Fourth Army is the contingent of the Communist Party, and they have a life-and-death enmity with the National Revolutionary Army; although foreign enemies have entered, everyone has temporarily put aside their grievances and walked to the national anti-Japanese front, but it is by no means a meeting with a smile and a grudge, and one day, everyone will stand in the ring and see the real chapter. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a certain distance from the New Fourth Army, not to get too close, still less to regard it as a fraternal unit.

Huang Tianhua looked at Li Benyi with a very incomprehensible eye, be a good general, just fight your battle, this kind of partisan struggle has its own politicians to worry about, and the military interferes in politics, which is a great harm to the country.

Mo Di didn't speak, he knew that Li Benyi was more assertive and obedient, and what he said above was what he said. At the same time, I also understood that the real purpose of Shangfeng sending Li Benyi to Mingguang was not to invigorate the economy and bring the local people to live a good life, but to fight for territory with the New Fourth Army and engage in secret fighting. Mo Di sighed unconsciously, this kind of boring party struggle is something that he, a pure soldier, is very unhappy to see, but the society is like this, and he can only agree. Seeing Li Benyi alone in Mingguang, he was very worried about his safety, so Zhao Guolong divided the spy company in his hand into two, and the deputy company commander Panlong took a platoon to follow Li Benyi to take office and became Li Benyi's personal entourage. Although Li Benyi understood Mo Di's kindness, he still shook his head inflexibly, and said, "I can't afford to raise dozens of people!" Mo Di told him that he didn't have to worry about the living expenses of Panlong and others, and Xu Ping was responsible for it. But a dignified commissioner of the fifth administrative district, just like this, to take office with his bare hands, there must be a few subordinates! Finally, if Shangfeng is equipped with all the people of the Fifth Administrative Region, without Li Benyi's arrangement, let the Panlongs come back, if Shangfeng is not equipped with personnel in place, the Panlongs are a very important personnel reserve, Panlong can be the police chief of the Fifth Administrative Region, and the soldiers under him are all administrative personnel at all levels, and then the military salary will become Fenglu, and Li Benyi will not have to worry about it.

Li Benyi realized that he was getting more and more stupid, a hero and three gangs, and he couldn't even think of such a simple truth.
