Wang Huaiming reached out and patted the table hard, and said: "You can't go out to fight and seize supplies, because you people are incompetent. I have decided now that the guerrillas, the new first brigade, the new second brigade, and the independent brigade, each brigade will The mission is 100,000 oceans. If you fail to seize it, there is a problem with your position and you will be punished by organizational discipline." Wang Huaiming slapped such a big label on everyone. If it were other people, they would be afraid, but Li Yunlong I don't want to do this at all.
He said: "What do you call this? If you don't know the enemy's situation and don't have a complete battle plan, just sending the team out, isn't it equivalent to dying in vain? What does this mean? Every soldier is the son of a father and a mother, and he has a life. How can they be sacrificed in vain? This is just careless management of human life. We, Mr. Li, will never do such a thing." Zhao Gang, Kong Jie, Wang Limin, Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu and others were not as courageous as Li Yunlong and did not dare to contradict Wang Huaiming in public, but Everyone's silence showed everyone's attitude.
Before Wang Huaiming came to the Mawushan base area, he also did some homework. He really had no good way to deal with Li Yunlong, who was fearless and fearless.
The chief of staff saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and was worried that the matter would be completely deadlocked, so he smoothed things over and said: "Everyone should think of a solution and then start the discussion again." After returning to the office, Wang Huaiming said angrily: "This is all It was Xu Dalong who secretly instigated these people to disobey military orders, which is extremely bad in nature. This is a confrontation with the organization and a betrayal of the organization. If such people are not killed, it will not be enough to reverse the unhealthy trends in the base area." Although the chief of staff was recommended by Wang Huaiming He came, but after all, he was also from the field army. Emotionally speaking, he was relatively close to Li Yunlong and others.
Seeing Wang Huaiming's ferocious look and hearing the vicious words he said, the chief of staff was also shocked.
He also had a sense of fear towards Wang Huaiming, this guy was so ruthless. Xu Dalong may have personal conflicts with Wang Huaiming, but he is an outstanding anti-Japanese hero who has repeatedly made military exploits. Even the chief of staff admires him.
Wang Huaiming wanted to torture Xu Dalong to death, which was too much. The chief of staff also began to beat his heart, secretly becoming wary of Wang Huaiming.
However, the chief of staff came with Wang Huaiming after all. If Wang Huaiming could not stay, it would also prove that he was incompetent as the chief of staff.
So he said: "Commissioner Zheng, Li Yunlong and those people are big bosses. You are a cultured person, so you don't need to care about them. The most urgent thing is that we still have to come up with a way to solve the problem of funding. After solving the problem of funding, we must first organize the various base areas." The work will be arranged smoothly, and then we will slowly get familiar with the situation and start the work." Wang Huaiming was helpless and asked: "What good ideas do you have?" To be honest, when it comes to fighting, the chief of staff still has certain talents. Yes, but he is really not good at base area construction and economic development.
Based on his past experience, he said: "The economic sources of other base areas mainly rely on the reasonable burden of the people. Now there are four counties and hundreds of thousands of people here. We call on everyone who has money and strength to contribute, Supporting the Anti-Japanese War should be able to solve a large part of the funds." Wang Huaiming's eyes lit up and he said: "This is indeed a solution. But the funds are still not enough." The chief of staff said: "I have contacted Wang Chu, the logistics department of the guerrillas. After a long discussion, the coal mines in the base area can increase the intensity of transportation, which should also solve part of the funds. We can also ask our superiors for instructions to temporarily allocate part of the funds to solve the urgent needs. After the work in the base area is straightened out, we can then ask more Submit it to the superior." Wang Huaiming said: "What you said makes sense. There is another way. The troops here in Mawu Mountain are different from the troops in other places. They are specializing and the troops have subsidies. This is a big sum. Money. The anti-Japanese armed forces, which are also underground parties, should not be specialized. We can save a lot of money by not asking for subsidies as leaders. Why do we need so many planes? Can't they sell planes? Let's just do it again Sell a batch of them, or simply sell them all. Without planes, there will be no need to support so many high-paid American pilots, and there will be no such big expenses. Isn't this problem solved?" Chief of Staff After listening to Wang Huaiming's words, I felt very uncomfortable.
The air force possessed by the guerrillas was obtained by many people in Mawu Mountain with their lives and fresh snow. He knew how useful it could be on the battlefield.
He felt that this guy Wang Huaiming was really a loser. What he did was a typical act of betraying someone and not caring about him.
Also, the allowances of all the troops in the base area have been deducted, which will definitely be criticized. The chief of staff instinctively thought that these methods might not work, but he did not dare to contradict Wang Huaiming and could only obey him.
However, at this moment, the chief of staff began to secretly regret that he should not have followed Wang Huaiming to such a difficult Mawu Mountain in pursuit of promotion.
Wang Huaiming still has some work experience. Although he has come up with these methods, he is also worried about problems and does not announce them immediately.
At this moment, something even more uncomfortable happened. Headquarters Logistics Director Zhang Wanhe sent a telegram to the Mawushan Military Division, saying that the headquarters agencies and the directly affiliated teams have encountered heavy siege by the enemy and the supply of materials is very difficult. He requested the Mawushan Military Division to provide the headquarters with 200,000 kilograms of grain and 5,000 kilograms of food. Kilograms of salt.
The commander also sent a telegram requesting the guerrillas to send the air force to support the anti-mopping operations in the Taihang Mountain base area.
Wang Huaiming and the chief of staff had just arrived here and were thinking of performing well. Of course, they must resolutely implement the instructions from their superiors.
They then called Zhao Gang and asked for a solution to the problem. Zhao Gang felt very headache after listening.
Now is the time of drought, and the food in the base areas is very expensive. Some of the food must be used to relieve the people. No matter what, 200,000 kilograms of food cannot be produced.
Buying 5,000 kilograms of salt would cost a lot of money. Zhao Gang said he was helpless. In fact, this matter is nothing and can be solved by leaving it to Zhou Mingde. However, Ma Wushan's intelligence brigade is all controlled by Xu Dalong alone, and Zhou Mingde's matters are strictly confidential.
Although Zhao Gang knew, it was impossible to tell Wang Huaiming. Not only was Zhao Gang unable to come up with the food and salt, he also shook his head at the military region's request to dispatch a flying brigade to support the Taiyue Military Region's operations.
After the war, arsenals simply could not produce so many aerial bombs. As for oil, the amount stored is extremely limited, which is not enough to complete a large-scale bombing mission, let alone continuously dispatch the air force.
Zhao Gang was still very particular about the struggle strategy and would not let Wang Huaiming blame him indiscriminately. He asked Wang Xiaohu to immediately take out the account book of the base area and let Wang Huaiming read it himself.
Sure enough, the remaining quantities of various supplies above could not last much longer. Wang Huaiming was full of anger, but the facts were obvious here, so he couldn't get angry at Zhao Gang. In the end, he had to truthfully report to his superiors, saying that the current situation in the base area was difficult and that he was temporarily unable to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors.
After Zhang Wanhe received the report, he immediately quit his job. He immediately found the head of the headquarters and filed a complaint against Wang Huaiming and others.
The head of the headquarters was also very angry and immediately sent a telegram to the Mawushan Military Division, asking Wang Huaiming and others what was going on. In the past, the Mawushan base area could complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters at any time, and even always exceeded the quota. How could it be that when Wang Huaiming came to serve as commander and commissioner, the task could not be completed?
The boss's words in the telegram were very harsh, questioning whether Wang Huaiming and others were capable of presiding over the work of the Mawushan base area.
The commander was even more angry that the Mawushan guerrillas were unable to dispatch the air force to support the operations of the Taiyue Military Region. He said that if the Mawushan guerrillas could not dispatch the air force, many innocent anti-Japanese soldiers would die. He also asked why the guerrillas could be dispatched in the past. The air force can no longer support operations.
The commander was very reserved and kept his words to this point. In fact, the meaning was very clear. If you don't have this diamond, don't take this porcelain job. If you don't have this ability, don't be the commander and commissioner of this military division.
Wang Huaiming was forced to become a little impatient. In order to prove his ability to work, he chaired a meeting of cadres at the middle level and above in the base area.
Attending the meeting were military cadres at all levels in the base area, leading agencies in each county, and the main leaders of the county brigade. Wang Huaiming announced the reform plan for the Mawushan base area.
First, it was decided to sell off some more aircraft. The entire flying group only retained one reconnaissance aircraft, one transport aircraft and 12 bombers, and sold all the remaining aircraft.
Most of the pilots and ground crew members of the flying group will also be laid off. As for the remaining personnel, their original salaries and various benefits will also be reduced accordingly.
Article 2: In order to save money, the allowances of all troops in the Mawushan base area will be cancelled. The staff of the County Zhengfu also implemented the supply system and no longer received subsidies.
Article 3: All people in the base area must implement reasonable burden policies and hand over public grain and taxes.
Article 4: Transfer some members of the county brigade to become coal miners to increase the productivity of the coal mines and increase the income of the base area.
Article 5: All units must take the initiative to increase seizures from the Japanese and puppet troops. After Wang Huaiming announced his strategy, the venue immediately exploded.
Bob was invited to the meeting, and after hearing what the translator had to say, they immediately quit. It is said that the underground party is burning bridges and they will all resign immediately and return to the United States immediately.
Wang Limin, Gao Zhiyong, Huang Jingzhong and others of the Independent Brigade quit first. The Independent Brigade defected from the Huang Xiejun to the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. They have always received subsidies, and the officers and soldiers pointed to the subsidies to support their families in Hukou.
This suddenly eliminated everyone's income, and there was no way to support the army. After all, Wang Limin and Huang Jingzhong were from Huang Xiejun. They were a little afraid of Wang Huaiming and could only express their protest with silence.
Gao Zhiyong was a very senior anti-Japanese fighter. He expressed his opposition on the spot, saying that the troops of the Independent Brigade would no longer be able to carry them and they would definitely collapse.
After Li Yunlong's New 1st Brigade and Kong Jie's New 2nd Brigade arrived in Mawushan, the officers and soldiers also implemented the same salary standards as those in the Mawushan base area, and the morale of the soldiers was howling.
It was definitely unjustifiable to cancel it all at once. Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others expressed their opposition on the spot.
The Zheng Mansion of Mawushan Central County and the leading organs of various counties also expressed their opposition to the collection of public grain and anti-Japanese donations from the people.
They made it clear that if the military division adopted such a policy, it would be opposed by the vast majority of the people.
The fourth and fifth suggestions put forward by Wang Huaiming were also opposed, and the whole venue became noisy.
Li Yunlong said contemptuously: "What did he do? It's a mess. The base area was originally good, but why did it become like this when someone changed. It's really a mess." Kong Jie said there in a weird way: " Yes, it turns out that the base area is good. I think if we keep messing around like this, it will collapse sooner or later." Wang Huaiming did not expect that all his ideas were opposed by everyone, and he felt that his authority was being slighted.
He was furious, stood up and shouted: "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel? This is purely deliberate sabotage and an act of undermining the anti-Japanese resistance. It must be severely punished by organizational discipline." Li Yunlong really couldn't stand it. He also slapped the table and said: "Let you go! The laborers put their heads in their waistbands to beat the little devils. Aren't they resisting Japan? You will fan the wind behind your back, light a will-o'-the-wisp, and waste the blood and sacrifice of your brothers in exchange for it." The Mawushan stronghold they came to has created a mess. Does this count as undermining the anti-Japanese resistance?" Wang Huaiming became anxious and said, "I am the person in charge here. If you dare to contradict me, you are contradicting the organization and undermining the anti-Japanese resistance. Come here, Catch him." When Wang Huaiming and others came, they brought a guard platoon, which was equivalent to his personal guard. These guys obeyed Wang Huaiming's orders.
After hearing Wang Huaiming's order, they immediately rushed in to arrest Li Yunlong. Zhang Dabiao gave up at the first sight. He yelled: "Let's see who dares." After saying that, he pointed the shell gun at Wang Huaiming.
Since Wang Huaiming arrived at the base area, everything he did made the officers and soldiers in the base area disgusted. Seeing that this guy wanted to arrest people for no reason, everyone became furious.
The officers of each army participating in the meeting drew their guns one after another, and the security platoon brought by Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others also rushed in and pointed their guns at the guard platoon brought by Wang Huaiming.
The chief of staff saw something was wrong and hurried out to smooth things over. Zhao Gang didn't want the matter to get too big, so he also came out to persuade.
After some hard talking, the situation was finally calmed down and the meeting broke up. Wang Huaiming was used to teasing people. He knew what the people behind him liked to hear, so he immediately wrote a report, slandering Li Yunlong and others for armed rebellion.
Of course, the person behind them is Xu Dalong. He was going to put these people to death.
