...One year is passed away amidst the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households are always replacing old talismans with new peaches.
Time flies, and it is already approaching the Spring Festival of 2016.
Although the anti-Japanese war is still raging on the land of China, Chinese soldiers and civilians with an optimistic spirit will still choose to celebrate traditional festivals like the Spring Festival that are full of joy.
No, the Eighth Route Army's Special Experimental Military Region was abuzz with excitement. While the generals were responsible for the military defense of their respective base areas against the stubborn Japanese and puppets, they were also arranging troop preparations to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
Within the military district headquarters.
Li Yunlong, who was in high spirits during happy events, was a little happier than usual, with a smile on his face and even fewer words in his mouth than usual.
"Old Ding, here we come!"
As soon as Ding Wei entered the headquarters yard, Li Yunlong's voice suddenly greeted him, which startled him.
Then, I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ding Wei always felt that Lao Li was a little different from usual. Lao Li usually stood with him, but now he was standing closer to Lao Kong.
what's going on?
"I said, Lao Li, are you going to be a traitor?"
Ding Wei said, pointing at himself, then at Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
Li Yunlong turned a blind eye and said to Kong Jie on the side, "Old Kong, let's have a good chat. I won't care about this guy with a big nose. He and I are not in the same team at all.
Why?
This guy is still a bachelor! Can this bachelor hang out with us who have wives? Anyway, we, Lao Li, are ashamed to associate with bachelors! "
Kong Jie nodded in agreement and gave Li Yunlong a thumbs up: "Old Li, what you said is so good!"
Ding Wei: "..."
He suddenly felt a sore nose. He looked at an old comrade who came out of the same class and even begged for his wife. This old man was faster and the child might have almost fallen to the ground.
Now even Li Datou can laugh at himself in this regard.
I think Ding Wei is so handsome, but why is he still single?
After all, Kong Jie was still honest and said to Ding Wei with a smile: "Old Ding, don't be sad. We are all old comrades in arms. I can't favor one over the other. I have already introduced someone to Lao Li, so naturally I can't do it when I come here." few."
Ding Wei said harshly: "No, no, no, no, Lao Kong, don't say this, we really don't care! I'm not Li Yunlong. I don't even have the ability to find a wife. I need the help of my old comrades." Matchmaking.
The war situation is tense right now, so we don’t care. Otherwise, if I, Ding Wei, want to find a wife, everyone will be waiting in line! "
Ha ha ha ha--
"Yes, if you line up one by one, the ones at the back might still be in the belly of one of your mother-in-laws!" Li Yunlong teased.
Ding Wei is so smart. When he saw he was being attacked, he directly used the contradiction transfer method.
"Old Li, don't make such noises. Lao Kong was the first to marry his mother-in-law. The child is about to be born now. You have to hold on tight. Don't make any noise for several years. Then it's okay. It’s so embarrassing!”
"Ah! I really don't like the speed of Kong Er. Take a look at it. According to our Lao Li's ability, it won't take three to five years. At least two or three of them will be born. If we work hard for a few more years, we won't be able to do it. What an intensive class!"
Li Yunlong said bragging was never a big deal, he said cheerfully.
Kong Jie scolded: "No, I'm talking about Lao Li, how could you be led astray by Lao Ding so easily? We were in the same camp just now, why are you turning around and starting to fight me?"
Ding Weiwei smiled and said: "Old Kong, don't you understand this? This Lao Li is just a big-tailed wolf, baring his teeth at anyone he catches. How can he have any direction?"
When old comrades meet, they usually exchange insults before getting down to business.
Li Yunlong said: "During this period, there has been nothing particularly new. There has not been a decent battle. Now, this little devil is really a bastard. He is so determined that he just stays in the county town. A turtle with a shrinking head cannot survive.
A few days ago, I tried to deliberately let out the news that there was a transport team on a mountain road not far from Yangquan, which was heavily guarded by the Japanese army. I was wondering if it could be used as bait to lure the little Japs out from the county town and hit them. ambush.
It's been a while since I killed any Japanese, and I feel really itchy.
Guess what?
The Japanese in Yangquan were so stunned that they closed the city gate tightly and did not dare to send out even half of their soldiers. "
Ding Wei echoed: "Forget it, I have recaptured a lot of villages and towns in one go, including several remote counties. The Japanese army basically retreated at the first touch and retreated all their troops to some important jurisdictions.
There is nothing you can do, they just won’t fight you, and they will retreat as soon as you hit them.
Today's little devil is really so simple that it makes people speechless.
However, some counties and transportation lines with high military value and important geographical locations were heavily guarded by the Japanese army and did not neglect them at all. We really could not find an opportunity for a while. "
"There is another thing that is very strange. I suspect that the Japanese are playing some trick behind the scenes.
During this period, many Chiang Kai-shek troops suddenly appeared near the lost ground we regained from the outside, including several Shanxi-Sui troops.
There were several towns among them that were originally our planned attack targets. As a result, before the fighting on our side started, the Japanese troops in those towns were pushed back by the sudden attack of the Chiang Kai-shek Army, and then the Chiang Army directly occupied these towns. .
Now we are still openly friendly forces with the Chiang Kai-shek Army and the Jin-Sui Army. They have occupied these towns in advance, and it is difficult for us to take them by force.
But this happened more than once. In just over half a month, the situation between our Eighth Route Army, Chiang Kai-shek Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, and the Japanese Army has become quite strange. "
As Ding Wei spoke, he worked on the military map in the headquarters. After a while, he circled a few points and connected them into a line.
"Lao Kong, Lao Li, look, what do you see?"
Li Yunlong took a closer look and then said: "Damn it, Old Ding, what you're saying is really what it is. Why are there Jiang's and Jin-Sui's troops in our base areas and the areas where all the troops are advancing to the outside? , and local warlords’ teams appeared?
You see, it seems like a group of Chiang Kai-shek troops have crossed over in the area where the Japanese army and our Eighth Route Army are fighting on the outside.
What do these sons of bitches want to do? "
Kong Jie said: "Isn't the intention of the Japanese obvious?
It is nothing more than blocking these troops, who are apparently friendly forces to us, in the direction of our troops' advance.
In other words, the Japanese used these troops to block our Eighth Route Army from regaining lost territory.
It just so happens that these are our nominal friendly forces.
It is difficult for us to take action. If we do, we may be labeled as deliberately creating friction and affecting the anti-Japanese united front.
But if we don't take action, we will not be able to directly border the Japanese army and launch military operations due to the obstacles of these villages and towns occupied by the Chiang Kai-shek Army and the Jinsui Army.
In the subsequent battle against the Japanese army, we will even have to find a way to bypass these territories occupied by the Chiang Kai-shek Army.
This will undoubtedly make us passive, and we may even be attacked by these so-called friendly forces.
Speaking of which, Okabe, this old devil, is really cunning. He is no match for us in a head-on battle, but he has learned how to play tricks. "
Ding Wei said: "I have to say, the little devil's move is indeed disgusting.
With our rise behind enemy lines in recent years, the Chiang Kai-shek Army has long regarded us as a thorn in its side, a thorn in its flesh, and has even been trying every means to find a thorn in our side!
This time the Japanese obviously want to use the contradiction between Jiang Jun and our Eighth Route Army to deal with us, but why doesn't Jiang Jun want to take advantage of this to gain some benefits, conquer more lost territory, and at the same time limit the growth of our Eighth Route Army?
How to find a way to break the situation is a headache. "
"What's the headache? I'd say it's not difficult to solve!" Li Yunlong said with confidence.
"Old Li, what do you say?" Ding Wei asked.
Li Yunlong said: "If you ask me to tell you the method is very simple, just four words: blow out the lamp and pull out the wax!"
"?"
"The reason for this is to find ways to find the letters of collusion between the stubborn soldiers and the Japanese, and to frighten them.
These sons of bitches really don't know how to commend themselves. With these solid evidences, we wiped them out easily, saying that what we wiped out were the puppet troops who colluded with the Japanese army.
As long as we have sufficient evidence, publicity is in place, and the people's wishes are there, even if the chairman of the committee comes, what can he say?
As for this light, if the letter warning does not work, a special anti-traitor unit will be arranged to go to the rooms of the traitor leaders at night to turn on the light and educate them so that they know what national justice is and what traitors and lackeys are.
If there is someone who doesn't know how to commend someone, he will feel embarrassed the next day and commit suicide by hanging himself. Isn't this a common thing?
This plan is to expose the Japanese spies around the generals of the Chiang Army, so that they can be refreshed and understand the dangers of seeking skin from wolves.
The last thing is that when we fight the Japanese, we invite these "friendly" generals who want to have conflicts with us, and let them see how we chop off the Japanese's heads.
With this combination of punches, even these unworthy clowns would be scared enough to hold back their urine!
As for Jiang Jun saying that our Eighth Route Army is deliberately creating friction and contradictions, then we, Lao Li, have to ask, who saw me doing this? Is it me, Li Yunlong? How do you prove that I am Li Yunlong? Hehe, when it comes to sophistry and cheating, I am their ancestor! "
After hearing this, Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he exclaimed:
"Old Li, Old Li, you really put what you have learned to use. The sophistry and game theory we just learned some time ago are now put to use!"
"Well, let me add a few words!" Kong Jie continued: "I think we might as well just leave it at that and use another move to defeat him."
"Right now, as the Japs take the initiative to shrink their troops, the area of our base area has been rapidly expanded, and a large number of agricultural industries are in urgent need of development. This is also an excellent opportunity for us to take advantage of the opportunity to develop and grow.
But what is the problem?
I have considered this a long time ago. This little devil is actually quite sinister. On the surface, he took the initiative to shrink his troops and left all the counties, towns and towns on the outside to us, and he acted like a coward.
But in fact, the little devil must have a plan! Instead of wasting time and effort to defend these large occupied areas with a small number of troops and taking huge risks, it is better to leave them to our Eighth Route Army. After we have completed the construction, we can then concentrate our efforts to take back these areas and achieve the goal of maintaining war. The purpose of the war.
This is even a bit like raising pigs.
When our agriculture and industry are well built, and a wave of Japanese invaders sneak up on us and snatch them away, where will we cry?
Moreover, little devils often do this kind of thing.
In this case, we might as well change our thinking.
What's the idea?
Let these Chiang Kai-shek troops who are stuck between us and the Japanese army help us develop in the occupied areas. In this way, the risk will be borne by them. We only need to keep an eye on it. Once the Japanese take advantage of the opportunity, they will take action against Chiang Kai-shek. peaches, and to seize agricultural and industrial resources, we let the mantis stalk the cicada and the oriole behind, and went to pick the peaches of the Japanese who plundered Jiang Jun’s peaches.
Taking a step back, even if the Japanese army does not take action, with the virtue of Chiang Kai-shek, we can still circulate all kinds of materials from Chiang Kai-shek's military area to our base area through economic means and business methods.
This is simply low-cost and almost free labor. Don’t give it up. It can not only help us bear the risk of being attacked by the Japanese army, but also completely fatten us up in the future. Once the conflict between the two sides intensifies, we will directly slaughter it for the New Year.
Isn’t it a matter of killing two birds with one stone? "
Looking at Kong Jie who was talking eloquently.
Ding Wei only said: "Awesome!"
Li Yunlong: "Awesome plus one!"
...And the actual situation is almost as Kong Jie speculated.
When planning a strategy to use intensified conflicts between Chiang Kai-shek and the Eighth Route Army to kill people with a borrowed knife and deal with the Eighth Route Army, the old Japanese Harada proposed:
"Although we are hostile to the Eighth Route Army, we should not completely ban trade exchanges between the two sides. On the contrary, we must engage in large-scale trade with the Eighth Route Army, not only selling supplies but also equipment to them.
why?
These mountainous areas, wastelands, and remote counties and towns occupied by the Eighth Route Army were originally of little value, but once the Eighth Route Army built the roads, enterprises and minerals, their military and economic value was greatly increased.
If our imperial army takes the opportunity to launch an attack again and take back these supplies, wouldn’t it be a huge profit?
It’s not that the Imperial Army doesn’t have this strength, it’s just that the losses are too great and there is no gain from the current attack. It’s better to use the Eighth Route Army to fight for us to achieve the purpose of supporting war with war! "
Of course, despite what Harada said on the surface, he only engaged in trade with the Eighth Route Army to paralyze the Eighth Route Army, in fact, this old boy was really here to make money.
Not only do you want to make money, but you also want to make it openly.
Originally, his proposal was directly rejected by Okabe, until the battles surrounding Datong and Zhangjiakou and the destruction of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army.
Okabe was also completely discouraged by the Eighth Route Army, and for the first time he actually agreed to Harada's proposal.
