Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

In view of this situation, the Dong Zhentang Department of the 127th Division of the Eighth Route Army also mobilized the main force to enter the Changzhi area.The 117th Division led by Xu Xiangqian and the 129th Division that entered Xingtai launched a joint attack.

The joint action of the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army also made the Shanxi Dispatch Army feel threatened.In desperation, Itagaki Seishiro could only choose to stabilize the existing occupied area, and no longer ordered troops to storm the Jincheng area guarded by Fu Zuoyi.

Under such circumstances, the Doihara Division, which had already moved in the direction of Shanxi, began to turn its guns and attack the Central Army's troops stationed in Zhengzhou.Facing the strong attack of the Doihara Division, the Central Army guarding Zhengzhou was also a little anxious.

In order to ensure that Zhengzhou is not lost, at the same time, it will buy time for Wuhan to fight.Originally, in He Zhengdao's view, the history that should have changed, eventually repeated itself.Even the actual situation surprised He Zhengdao who heard the news.

At the inaugural meeting of the New 67th Army, a piece of news that shocked the Eighth Route Army spread.In order to attack the blocking forces of the Central Army, the Japanese army finally blasted the Yellow River embankment under continuous bombing.

Looking at the news sent back by the intelligence agencies operating in Henan, Mao Taizu and Boss Zhu, who attended the establishment of the New 67th Army, also found it unbelievable.They know very well what it means for the Yellow River to break its embankment.

'Is the news true? '

'The breach of the embankment has been confirmed!It's just that the specific reason for the problem has not yet been ascertained.However, according to the feedback from our intelligence personnel in Henan, there were indeed bombers from the little devils when the embankment broke.

Recently, the No.14 Division of the Japanese Army has been fiercely stationing the Central Army troops there. .pBtxt. Their bombers in North China also cooperate with the troops to attack from time to time.Now that the Yellow River has breached, it is said that the No.14 Division also suffered heavy losses. '

He Zhengdao, who was also on the side, still couldn't calm down when he heard the news: "Now I finally understand why the Central Army withdrew its troops stationed in Kaifeng and other places before the Doihara Division attacked."

As soon as these words came out, Boss Zhu said with a sharp look in his eyes: "Xiao He, what do you mean?"

'Commander-in-Chief, I hope I'm overthinking!However, from the telegram sent by the Central Army, even if we know the truth, we may not be able to tell it.At this time, if the people know the truth, what will the consequences be like? '

Although there is no clear evidence to prove that the Yellow River embankment burst this time was still a tragedy directed and performed by the Central Army in order to stop the Japanese army.But He Zhengdao somewhat felt that this matter had something to do with the Central Army.

But most importantly, he now finally understands why the breach of the Huayuankou embankment in his previous life had been kept secret.Thinking about it now, if the Eighth Route Army had made the truth public at that time, it would have been able to attack the Central Army.

But in the end, it will still only be the little devil who will benefit.Replacing soldiers with water seems helpless, but it hurts tens of thousands of ordinary people.Since then, the people in the Yellow River Flooding Area have suffered many disasters.

Listening to what He Zhengdao said with a hint of anger, Mao Taizu also understood the meaning of He Zhengdao's words.If the people who broke the embankment of the Yellow River knew that this was what the Anti-Japanese Army did, how sad and hated the Anti-Japanese Army would be.

After a while, Mao Taizu said: "Our nation is really full of disasters and disasters!"

He Zhengdao couldn't say anything about such a sigh, but he still said: "Chairman, what we can do now is to do our best to rescue these refugees. After the flood, there will be a catastrophe. This matter must be treated with caution.

Although our current capabilities cannot save all the people in the disaster areas.But I still hope that we can extend a helping hand and rescue more people in the disaster-stricken areas.In our base area, there are still many places where people can be resettled.

In addition, Mr. Xu's 117th Division must also be careful of the impact of the flooding of the Yellow River on them.Water and fire are ruthless, and the Central Army has long been prepared to evacuate the troops in the yellow flood zone.And our troops must withdraw as soon as possible.

If conditions permit, let the 117th Division assist in the transfer of victims.In addition, contact Yan Xishan, hoping that the Jinsui Army can open an opening to allow the victims to enter our base area from Xinxiang and other places.In terms of food, we must raise a batch. "

Having said this, Boss Zhu quickly said: "Xiao He's suggestion is very necessary! This time the Yellow River broke its embankment and changed its course. I believe that the Central Army will not be able to seal the gap in a short time. The lives and properties of the people downstream will be threatened. .

If this matter was really done by the Central Army, I am afraid that they are unlikely to receive too many disaster-stricken people in terms of disaster relief.Although our current conditions are not very good, we have stored a lot of food in the past two years, which should be able to help a group of people. "

'Can!Regarding disaster relief, the boss is in charge of the army, and I will instruct the logistics department to raise food, and also contact the Jinsui Army.Also, take this opportunity to let the 127th Division send a regiment of main forces to Xinxiang.

If Doihara's division suffered heavy losses, order Dong Zhentang and Xu Xiangqian to try their best to encircle and suppress the Japanese army.When attacking the Japanese army, the troops did their best to rescue the people in the disaster area.Do our best to save as much as we can! '

Because of this sudden incident, Mao Taizu and Boss Zhu had to leave Yulin early.Regarding the establishment of the new 67th Army, the two also announced their appointment, and all subsequent matters were left to He Zhengdao to handle by himself.

Sending off the two who came and left in a hurry, He Zhengdao called the party committee members of the New 67th Army and the head of the political commissar of the border area to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the formation of the army.

Of course, what is also very important is to raise a batch of food and transport it to the Hancheng area that is closer to the victims.It will also be the front line of relief for the victims, through which the victims who fled will be continuously received.

'The chief of staff and I will be fully responsible for the expansion of the troops.The political commissar and director Luo are afraid that they need to spare a little energy to organize food preparations and accept the work of the victims.

Regarding this matter, Sheng Jun will also stay in Yulin and take charge of related work.If any of the disaster victims received by the central government are assigned to us by then, they will be resettled first in those places in Suiyuan that have the conditions for reclamation.

As for the expansion of the troops, Chief of Staff Luo and I will produce and select from the various garrison troops in the base area.The garrison troops above the regiment level of the entire column will participate in the next military competition, and the outstanding ones will be supplemented by three infantry divisions.

Now this time just happens to be the season when our base areas rush to harvest wheat. The job of the border region governments is to do a good job in grain collection and storage.Not only wheat, but also coarse grains that can be eaten, as much as you can get.

Tell the garrison troops that from now on, grain will be prohibited from private purchase and sale as a special material, and it will be strictly restricted as a military-controlled material.These days, only when you have food in your hands can you not panic. '

Hearing He Zhengdao's words, the person in charge of the political commissar of the border area was a little surprised and said: "Commander He, we can take care of the work of collecting grain. But we may have certain difficulties in terms of funds.

The wheat output in Yulin alone is probably much higher this year than last year.In addition to paying a certain amount of tax and food, the people may not be willing to sell the extra food to us if they have no funds to buy it. "

Although the border region government does not collect much tax, it naturally also collects a certain amount of public grain for the many fields distributed to the people.In the past two years, the garrison troops have also done a lot of work, allowing the common people to gain a lot of convenience in growing grain.

Among them, the water cellar operation launched by He Zhengdao brought convenience to many people.And the construction of some water conservancy projects has also improved the output of ordinary people's barren land.

It's just that the common people are somewhat reluctant to collect grain and issue IOUs.In their view, if the government cannot provide money to collect grain, they prefer to sell grain to grain vendors, which can also make a lot of money.

Right now, He Zhengdao is managing grain as military supplies, so he realizes that businessmen engaged in grain trading in Yulin will not be able to receive a grain of grain from Yulin.In doing so, He Zhengdao was actually prepared.

First of all, food is indeed a life-saving thing in this era.In addition, after the Yellow River bursts, Henan will usher in real natural disasters.Many Henan people will also flee famine in order to survive in the next few years.

If more food can be stored, maybe more victims can be rescued.If there is a population, I believe it will play a big role in the livelihood of the people in Yulin and Suiyuan.

'For funds, I will apply for a batch with the central government at that time.In terms of the purchase price of grain, the common people should not suffer too much.For the private trading of grain during the military control period, more publicity must be carried out.

Merchants engaged in grain business in base areas, we should encourage them to collect grain from other places.As for us, I am afraid that they will have no food to harvest in a short time.In the next few years, we may only be able to produce and sell our own food! '

With He Zhengdao's words, the person in charge of the border region also knew that if the government failed to control the food channels during the disaster year, it would very likely cause social chaos.In this case, special food management is also very necessary! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

(PS: Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass! Important things, say it three times, I heard it is very effective!)

Although for the new 67th Army, it may be sent to Wuhan to participate in the battle is out of speculation.But after some thinking, He Zhengdao also felt that even if he wanted to attack the Northeast, he had to endure for a while longer.

As a turning point in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Battle of Wuhan ended in failure.But even after the end of this battle, the Japanese army's fantasy of solving the Chinese anti-Japanese troops in a short time was completely shattered.

In the eyes of many people in later generations, after the end of the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese invaders who ignited the flames of war everywhere seemed to have occupied many important cities.But in fact, they have also begun to shift from strategic offensive to strategic conservative.

It was also this big battle that made many Japanese soldiers see that a large number of anti-Japanese armed forces had grown up in the rear they had already occupied, and a large area of ​​the country was actually recovered by the anti-Japanese troops.

To use a sentence from later generations to describe it, perhaps it can be said that at this time, the Japanese army really felt that "the strides are too big, and they are pulling the eggs."

If the Central Army really wants to transfer the Eighth Route Army to the south to participate in the Wuhan battle, then the Eighth Route Army can also take the opportunity to raise some conditions.At least with this opportunity, it is still very possible to expand the troops to the Hubei area.

If we can gain a firm foothold in Hubei, we will be able to unite with the guerrillas operating in Jiangxi, Henan and Anhui in the future.This can be regarded as driving a nail into the inherent territory of the Central Army, and it can even echo with the New Fourth Army.

Taking these factors into consideration, He Zhengdao felt that it was still possible to focus his strategy on preparing for the battle in Wuhan.At least judging from the current situation, it is not yet ripe for the Eighth Route Army to recover North China.

He Zhengdao also felt that it was too whimsical to think about recovering the Northeast without even recovering North China.At this time, if you want to come to the Eighth Route Army, you still need to develop in a low-key manner and concentrate on cultivating 'internal strength'.

As the Yellow River broke its embankment and changed its course, Zhengzhou, which was already in danger, suddenly became safer.The Central Army, which had previously shrunk its defense, also began to encircle and suppress the Doihara Division along the rushing Yellow River under the order of Lao Jiang.

Accompanied by the telegram of the Central Army stating that the Yellow River's embankment burst was caused by the bombing of the Japanese army, it naturally aroused the indignation of the whole people.The Yellow River flood itself was a headache for all dynasties.

But this time, under the propaganda of the Central Army, the little devil finally blew up the Yellow River dam near the Huayuankou in order to combat the Central Army's violent bombing strategy, causing the Yellow River to turn in an instant to wash down the rural residences of the common people. .

Facing the telegram sent by the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, which was also investigating the cause of the incident, immediately sent a telegram condemning the atrocities committed by the Japanese army.At the same time, it announced that it will do its best to help the refugees affected by the disaster.

As for the Japanese army, they would naturally not admit it in the face of such accusations.It's a pity that the Japanese army must be responsible for the explosion of the Yellow River dam before the truth of this incident is made public.
