Chapter 22 How to get seven and a half roads to specialize in water conservancy
Half an hour later, the mini-meeting officially ended, and Huang He left the venue first.
For many of the views and predictions he put forward tonight, the bigwigs have said that it will take some time to digest, not to mention that whether to send troops depends on the attitude of the border area.
Seeing his fellow countryman appear, Li Yunlong, who had been waiting a little impatiently, put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up the folder in front of him and greeted him.
"Lao Huang, you finally came out, I have to fall asleep after a while."
"This is the information you mentioned before, I specially asked our political commissar Zhao to help find it, you hurry up and see if there is any omission in the content."
"What was the general content of the meeting just now? Is it a detailed arrangement for the operation in the Suiyuan area? Is there anything I can listen to? ”
Although Li Yunlong is still nominally only a regimental commander, their 1st Marine Regiment is now a unit directly under the headquarters, and there is no problem in talking to him about the strategic direction and goals.
After thinking for a while, Huang He, without trying to involve the specific content of the meeting, told the story of the strength of the Kwantung Army and its impact on the Eighth Route Army.
Lao Li is not a reckless man now, and after hearing that 200,000 enemies may enter the pass at any time to support, the Mongolian army fell into thought.
Seeing that the other party was about to drill the tip of the horns, Huang He hurriedly spoke:
"Okay, don't think too much."
"The specific arrangements will be notified by the deputy commander-in-chief, and you can just do your own training normally."
"Come, come with me to see how Qilu and a half are developing in the Suiyuan area, and study how strong he is compared to Yan Laoxi."
For most modern people, the provincial-level administrative region of Suiyuan will be relatively unfamiliar, after all, the four provinces of Saibei have been abolished one after another decades ago.
Even for lovers of 7+ coloring games, it is difficult to connect with the terrain of later generations without looking at the map, let alone understand the history of local development.
After reading carefully, Huang He suddenly understood the confidence of the other party to dare to ask for help, and then said with great emotion:
"Seven and a half roads really live up to his reputation, just in terms of his learning and governance ability, looking at the entire preserved fruit, it is definitely unique."
"It is worthy of being a silent doer, who has been in charge for 10 years to run Suiyuan to such an extent, and has actually taken into account the fields of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, finance, industry and commerce, and transportation while ensuring military development."
"It seems that his hole cards are the same as ours, and he is the heart of the people."
The information in the hands of Huang He came from the base area in the northwest of Shanxi, and was collected by Zhao Gang when he went to preside over the entry assessment of the 1st Marine Regiment.
The data records in detail the economic development and changes of the Suiyuan area under the management of the seven and a half roads in the ten years from 1931 to 1941.
In the early days, the whole province was plagued by banditry.
The collusion between landlords, officials, and bandits resulted in the local law and order ranking last in the whole country, and even the warlords' troops could be robbed when they passed by.
In such a bad situation, the living environment of the common people is absolutely dire.
After serving in the Seventh Route and a half, he first deployed most of his troops along the railway line to suppress bandits.
After dealing with the biggest problems, they began to straighten out finance, build water conservancy, develop production, and plant trees, thus completely stabilizing the situation in the province.
Under his management, Suiyuan's light industry was quite developed, and flour mills, sugar mills, and woolen mills flourished.
It is worth mentioning that there are dozens of large and small highways in the whole province, which are very convenient for both passenger transportation and marching.
Although due to the lack of congenital conditions, Suiyuan does not have the ability to create its own automobile manufacturing industry. However, there are a number of skilled car repair technicians in each county, which has laid a solid foundation for the future motorized troops
It is precisely because of the above advantages, coupled with the grain production in the Hetao area, that Suiyuan can become a stable rear of preserved fruits in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War.
After hearing Huang He's evaluation, Li Yunlong beside him couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Aren't you talking nonsense, in the winter offensive of preserved fruit back then, people were one of the few who achieved results in seven and a half ways."
"The Battle of Bailingmiao, the Battle of Baotou, the Battle of Suixi, and the Battle of Wuyuan, the victory of each battle is indispensable to the support of the people, and he has a very high prestige and popular base in Suiyuan."
"I really don't know what the bald head thinks, he actually gave up such an excellent general."
In addition to surprise attacks, the best thing in the seven and a half is defensive operations.
However, with his current troops, there is no way to fight with three divisions and two brigades, not to mention that the enemy also has part of the armored forces and army aviation.
The most helpless thing is that the current strength is already the limit of what can be done. After all, he only occupies ten counties in Suixi, and the population is only 390,000.
Even if we try our best to operate and build, we can't make manpower grow out of thin air.
If the Eighth Route Army does not go north to support, the fate that awaits them can only be to be defeated by the devils, or to take the initiative to abandon the foundation they have saved for many years and retreat to the northwest.
The reason why Huang He asked Li Yunlong to help collect information was to see if there was a way to recover Suiyuan without destroying the united front.
After all, if you don't take the four provinces of Saibei, it will be difficult to go north directly to regain more lost territory.
What's more, Huang He knows one thing, the strength and ambition of the seven and a half roads will expand rapidly in the next four years, and then it will become a great enemy in the border region.
The best way to deal with it is to take this opportunity to let the other party build water conservancy.
······
Just when the Yellow River was worried, in a certain command post far away, two middle-aged people were talking at night.
"Brother Yisheng, I can't have today's status without your help."
"That Yan Baichuan is really too deceitful, and he actually let me attack the rout of the friendly army! In this way, wouldn't my Chen Jieshan's reputation stink in the whole country! ”
"Shameless old thief, he deserves to lose the whole of Shanxi."
Hearing his brother's abuse, Qilu and a half showed a helpless wry smile, and he naturally knew about the other party's affairs.
After the end of the winter offensive of that year, the 90th Army of the fruit was suffering heavy losses.
Yan Laoxi, who had always been greedy for the equipment of the Central Army, was ready to make a move and sent his subordinates to collect the equipment of the friendly army.
This kind of thing will inevitably leave a bad reputation, so Chen Jieshan did not carry out the order, which eventually led to the loss of military power. For the sake of his career and safety, he came to devote himself to himself, and now he is a lieutenant general and deputy commander-in-chief.
"I won't mention the previous things, but now the great enemy is now, and you and I need to work together."
"I have already contacted the Eighth Route Army through the bearded man of the 120th Division, and with the other party's style of acting, I will definitely not see death without help."
"When the time comes, we'll go into battle together to kill the enemy! Maybe there's a chance to reclaim the lost territory of the entire province! Strive to make Suiyuan the second liberated region! ”
Compared with Qilu and a half, Chen Jieshan's heart is obviously smaller.
Although the picture just described is indeed beautiful, he is very wary of the Eighth Route Army.
"Brother Yisheng, it won't happen that it is easy to ask God to send God."
"Suiyuan is the foundation of you and me, and I finally have a territory, and I don't want to be driven away again."
“······”
"Don't worry, the people will be on our side."
It's very underworldly
