On August 12, 1940, Qijiang County

"I've read the newspaper, I've read the newspaper, the Qijiang wharf construction site is recruiting, there is no limit to the number, no limit to men and women!"

"The beautiful reporter's secret interview, the general worker has three meals a day, and the meal has meat, looking at the real scene of the construction site in Qijiang County!"

"The latest news, the minimum salary of the provisional 1000th regiment has been exposed, and the monthly allowance of 15 yuan for privates far exceeds that of all departments of the national army!"

"I've read the newspaper, I've read the newspaper, this newspaper exclusively discloses that General Li Yunlong's wedding photos, look at the general's heroic appearance, accompanied by beauties!"

"Watch the beautiful female student martyr for General Li Yunlong, and reveal the bizarre life story of the tigress Zhao Xiuqin!"

Walking on the streets of Qijiang, Wang Yue felt a little confused, is Lao Li so popular now? It's simply an Internet celebrity and a big V in this era, this popularity is incredible, it's been less than a month since I first came to Qijiang County, how can it change so much.

The city walls, streets, and houses have been renovated, and even the walls have been repainted, at this time, the damage caused by the last bombing can no longer be seen, and the whole city has a new look, and there is no trace of the dilapidated and obsolete of other cities, on the contrary, there is a feeling of prosperity, and it has been proved that the government still wants to face, at least in terms of show, although the city is temporarily repaired by the organizers of the 1000 regiments, but the required expenses, the county government still paid the full amount of legal tender after the publicity.

In 1940, fiat currency was still very valuable, and 100 fiat currency could buy a calf, so the fiat currency paid by the county government could not be said to be perfunctory.

Because the city has taken on a new look, the public order is good, and Qijiang County, where the tax at the city gate is extremely low, has also attracted more and more people to come and do business, and many ordinary people who had escaped before have also come back one after another, and the whole city soon returned to prosperity.

Since the navy could not block the material channels of the provisional 1000 regiments, it was not necessary to continue to blockade the Qijiang River, so the water transportation of Qijiang Port also began to recover little by little, in order to further promote economic development, Li Yunlong put forward a request to the county government, rebuilt the road from the port to the county seat, and upgraded the previous dirt road into a small stone road, which greatly facilitated the transportation of goods, and countless porters, wheelbarrows, carriages, and even cars ran on this road all night.

In order to facilitate transportation, the temporary 1000th Regiment also kept the city gate close to the wharf open at night, and even more, this cargo also followed the example of the little devil and built a turret in the middle of the way, and set up searchlights to facilitate night transportation.

In addition to these businessmen, the provisional 1000th regiment is also directly involved in commercial activities, a large number of cotton cloth began to appear on the market in Qijiang County, the quality of these fabrics are particularly good, the color is pure and does not fade, the pattern is exquisite and novel, not to mention the domestic mechanism of cloth, that is, the imported Indian cloth can not compare with these cloth, the most important thing is that these cloth is cheap, the normal retail price is lower than the wholesale price of others, not to mention, there is no limit to supply.

This made the rear of the cotton cloth shortage exploded all of a sudden, and even some people tried in vain to eat these cloths completely, and then hyped them, but after spending millions of oceans, these people very helplessly admitted that the cloth in the hands of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be in stock, but no matter what, the supply of cotton cloth in the rear has been greatly improved, and the people no longer have to worry about not being able to buy cloth to make clothes.

And then there is food, ten kilograms of imported canned meat, high oil, high salt and high calorie, the taste is also a mess, the big jar also has a beam, after eating it can also be used as a foreign iron bucket, but it is such a can, but only one dollar of the ocean, the same is unlimited, give money to sell, there are good things people have counted, this half month the Eighth Route Army sold at least 10,000 tons of imported canned meat, even with Chongqing meat prices have fallen a lot.

In addition, outside the county seat, the provisional 1000th Regiment also built a large number of city defense fortifications and barracks in accordance with wartime standards, making full use of the geographical conditions of Qijiang County, relying on rivers and hills, and building three circular defense lines outside the county seat, and even built the defense line outside the barracks of the two divisions.

In the north of the city, the provisional 1000th regiment mobilized tens of thousands of migrant workers to urgently build a 1,000-meter earthen runway, although it is an earthen runway, but it is also the kind of use of three-way tamping, the quality is better than the vast majority of national army airports, and at the end of the runway, a large number of warehouses and hangars have been built, I don't know that the national air force has built a new airport, but in fact this is only Li Yunlong for Wang Yue to build personally, of course, this is the Southern Bureau and the Eighth Route Army Office have approved.

At the same time as the large-scale infrastructure construction, the provisional 1000th Regiment also launched a vigorous large-scale military training activities, the whole regiment of 5,000 people in the battalion and company units pulled out for training, all branches of the army every day targeted high-intensity training, not only the infantry every day live ammunition shooting, tank artillery will also carry out high-density practical operations, not stingy, so that the two division-level units of the national army responsible for monitoring them feel very unreal, how do you seem to be the ragtag army, bullshit three guns dirt and eight roads, Even the most elite Japanese troops are reluctant to train like this, not to mention the precious fuel and artillery shells, rifle bullets alone will consume 10,000 or 20,000 rounds a day, when will the regimental-level units of the national army have such ammunition.

At the beginning, the Ministry of Military Affairs thought that this was just a temporary formation of the 1000th Regiment to put pressure on the government, and it would not last for a few days, not to mention the consumption of ammunition, more than 5,000 people, such a high training intensity, Li Yunlong would be consumed to death just by eating a day, although the Ministry of Military Affairs had reissued supplies, but what was the supply of the national army, not eating meat, eating some soybean meal, brown rice, wild vegetables, what strength can you train, you just train, sooner or later the soldiers will be exhausted to death, but this has been insisted on for half a month, not to mention what the soldiers eat, Even those workers had two meals of meat a day, and the oily canned imported meat was so reluctant that the landlords in the Kuomintang were reluctant to do so.

There is also that fortification, everyone repairs the fortifications, but in the rear, who repairs the fortifications is not a show, where is the Eighth Route Army doing this? The fortifications are all sturdy permanent fortifications, made of stones, logs, and triple soil, and are completely constructed without cost, and according to rumors, several tunnels were built to the city and the airport. Is it to stay in Qijiang County completely?

As a last resort, the Ministry of Military Affairs has been letting the Eighth Route Army put on a show and wants to fight a public opinion war with the Eighth Route Army, General Chen personally drove to the office of the Eighth Route Army to visit General Hu Bicheng, and the two sides conducted friendly consultations, and finally reached an agreement, agreeing that the Ministry of Military Affairs will send observers to Qijiang County, and the follow-up provisional 1000th Regiment needs to report to them when building combat readiness fortifications, and they can also go to the scene to inspect.

Immediately afterwards, the Air Force also found the office of the Eighth Route Army, this time the Air Force Commander came in person, the purpose was to inquire about the purpose of the Qijiang County Airport, for General Hu Bicheng's remarks that he did not know the purpose, this one did not believe it at all, and used tens of thousands of people to build a field airfield, you told me to play around, do you believe it or not? Without airplanes, what do you do with tens of thousands of smoke piles?

The provisional 1000th Regiment has set up 200 anti-aircraft machine gun positions inside and outside Qijiang County, and they are all quadruple Maxim anti-aircraft machine guns, don't you know that Chongqing's anti-aircraft firepower needs to be coordinated by the Air Force? In this regard, General Hu Bicheng personally took the air force commander to see two positions, which were all wooden fake positions, and frankly told the other party that the Eighth Route Army did have a small number of antiaircraft machine guns in its hands, and if the air force was interested, it would take money to buy them, and they would not be expensive, and they would not be owed on credit for $10,000 each.

The army and the air force are here, and the navy is no exception, but the navy came because of Li Yunlong's personal problems, because Li Yunlong's admirers are waiting in front of the school every day, which has seriously affected the normal teaching activities of the school. Many students and faculty members have had opinions.

In this regard, General Hu Bicheng asked, "How did they get to Zhongba Island?" Then the deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy stopped talking, that's right, Zhongba Island is a military control area, and it is understandable that Zhao Xiuqin, as a family member, can rent a boat to the island, but what about the others? If you don't have a certain force, you will definitely not be able to go up, either your navy's patrol ships will release water, or other forces are meddling.

Of course, it was not all these messes that came to General Hu Bicheng, in the recently concluded sweep of North China, all units of the Eighth Route Army fought very well, and did not let the Japanese army take any advantage, and the model of the provisional 1000 regiment was placed in Chongqing, so that many domestic forces began to change.

Actively contacted and approached the Eighth Route Army, some asked for help, some provided support, and some asked to join, which made General Hu's status more transcendent, and caused the Huangshan Mansion to scold the Niang Xipi, who was said to have begun to think about whether to drive the provisional 1000th Regiment away in advance.

Hearing these news, Wang Yue couldn't help but smile, it seems that his plan is almost successful, but he doesn't know where the Standing Chairman will transfer Li Yunlong and the 1000th Provisional Regiment, if that is the case, he will not need to build amphibious tanks to stimulate the other party.
