The three provinces of Suiyuan, Rehe, and Youzhou were recovered at once. The subsequent consolidation and reconstruction is a huge project. Local governments need to be established, policies of rent reduction and interest reduction need to be implemented, a small number of bandits and stragglers need to be eliminated, etc.;
It can be said that there are thousands of clues, so the joint command temporarily stopped the pace of attacking northward, but stopped to sort out internal affairs.
Fortunately, with the experience of Hedong, several other provinces, including Jizhou and the newly restored areas of Qilu, can follow the Hedong model.
In order to better control the local area, Yanzhou graduated more than 2,000 students from Kangda University ahead of schedule, transferred 1,000 students from the Liuzhen teaching team, and transferred more than 5,000 local workers from Hedong, the headquarters and Yanzhou Experienced cadres went to work in the newly restored areas.
The efficiency of the Eighth Route Army was astonishing. It took less than half a month to establish local governments at all levels. Villages had village committees, militia platoons (companies), women's rescue societies, and towns, counties, and regions all had democratic governments. , adopts a three-thirds administrative structure, inviting democratic organizations and local elites to participate in government management.
Carry out a campaign to reduce rents and interest rates in rural areas, encourage industry and commerce in cities, standardize tax rates, organize post-war reconstruction, etc.
Establish provincial-level military divisions and assign all troops other than field armies to provincial military regions. Each provincial military region has several garrison brigades under its jurisdiction, with numbers starting with province, such as Jizhou First Brigade, Second Brigade, etc., whose functions are to be responsible for the defense of the province. , recruitment, training of new recruits, transporting soldiers to the main force, organizing front support and other tasks to completely liberate the field columns.
The field column is only responsible for fighting, and the delivery of logistics supplies, evacuation and treatment of the wounded, placement of disabled soldiers, replenishment of soldiers, etc. are all left to the provincial military region;
A total of six provincial military regions, Hedong, Suiyuan, Rehe, Jizhou, Qilu, and Youzhou, were established, and a total of 33 garrison brigades were organized. Each brigade has three garrison regiments, with a total strength of about 350,000.
In addition, Zhongtiao Mountain (93rd Group Army), Dabie Mountain (78th Group Army) and the Expeditionary Force are not included in the above-mentioned establishment.
The field army added two more cavalry divisions, totaling about 24,000 people.
In this way, the Eighth Route Army can mobilize more than 1.1 million troops in the north, and there are nearly 600,000 militiamen. If the New Fourth Army and the Expeditionary Force are added, the overall strength is no less than that of Shuzhong.
Naturally, things in North China and outside the customs could not be hidden from the informants in Shuzhong. A large amount of information was gathered in Lanyi Club and finally placed in front of Zhongcai. Naturally, the thunder was furious and Niang Xipi was flying all over the sky.
"Damn it, Niang Xipi, why did the Eighth Route Army suddenly appear with so many troops?
They only have four divisions plus an independent army. Who gave them the right to expand into ten columns, each with 50,000 men, a mechanized column, and an air force with more than 200 aircraft;
Who gave Chu Xiong the right to transfer the expeditionary force's aircraft to the north for combat? Do they still have the national government in their eyes? "
The generals in the room are shining brightly, but no one can give him the answer. Now the Eighth Route Army can compete with the Kuomintang Army.
“Everyone, I have told you long ago that you cannot take them lightly at any time. Now the entire North China is about to become the territory of the Eighth Route Army;
If you add the New Fourth Army in East China, the 78th Group Army in Central China, the Independence Army, the New Second Army, and the New Third Army of the Expeditionary Force, their main force is close to one million troops;
Now the wolf is no longer coming, the wolf is really coming!
If it continues to develop, you and I will die without a burial place! "
"Damn it, the Bolshevik Red Storm is about to take over the whole of China. Can't Franklin, a short-sighted ghost, see that?
Is he ready to give up the government? Can the red devil be locked in a bottle?
Sooner or later he will shoot himself in the foot. The national government is the only government in China!
Yanzhou is only a local government. Yingjiang skipped the national government and cooperated with a local government. This is interference in China's internal affairs. We must protest to them! "
(Franklin: I accept your protest, you continue.)
The people below have become accustomed to his Xianglin Sister-in-law style. They scold Yanzhou, criticize Chuxiong, and protest against Yingjiang before every meeting. This has become an appetizer before the meeting.
When the government was at its peak, its strength had not controlled the north, and it was even less so now. A clever woman could not make a meal without straw, and nothing else had any effect except lip service.
The people below can be ostriches, but he can't. He has to make big moves. This kind of thing still needs to be brought up by the people below. Some of them have already said hello in advance. He said to Admiral Chen:
"Ci Xiu, tell me!"
Chen Cixiu stood up and said with understanding:
“The main forces of the national government are currently in Southwest China, Central China, South China, and East China, and are beyond the reach of North China and outside China;
As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. Yanzhou is right on the lips of Wang Shoushan in the northwest. He has 300,000 troops. If he has planned it, he can launch a blitzkrieg against them and wipe out Yanzhou. The other troops will be leaderless and will be defeated sooner or later. thing. "
Others took a breath after hearing this. This move is indeed vicious. Once it is launched, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties. The current favorable situation of the joint war of resistance will be wiped out. Who will bear this historical responsibility?
No one else was willing to stand up and support him. Zhong Cao's face turned ugly. He had never expected such an exquisite move. Except for General Chen, not even He Jingzhi was willing to stand up to support him, let alone Xiao Zhuge. No one wants to take responsibility for sabotaging the war of resistance for him.
"Jiansheng, what do you think of Cixiu's proposal?"
Seeing that his general had been criticized, Xiao Zhuge had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer:
"Ci Xiu's proposal is naturally good, but somewhat inappropriate. The Eighth Route Army has just achieved a major military victory, liberating most of North China and Manchuria and Mongolia, and its morale and reputation are at its peak;
If we take action against Yanzhou at this time, not only the domestic people will not understand, but even friendly people will not agree.
Once Shoushan misses a single blow and allows its leader to escape, there will be trouble. My opinion is still to be cautious, there is no turning back when shooting;
Besides, even if there are no leaders in Yanzhou, they can still introduce a few more, which will make the government passive. "
He finally understood, and it was really hard to understand. Yanzhou was fighting the Japanese in North China and outside the Pass. Attacking them at this time would only cause them to fall into rebellion and separation.
Since the obvious ones can't come, they can only come secretly. It's too important to let these people know. Except for Ci Xiu, few people are really of the same mind as him. Thinking of this, he shuts away the others. A shadowy rain farmer is left behind.
"Yunong, you heard me, they are all a bunch of people who live for nothing and are unwilling to contribute to the national government. The national government still has to rely on the Central Army and Huangpu soldiers. Do you know what to do?"
He said cryptically, Yunong naturally understood what he meant, bowed and said:
"Yunong understands that success or failure is done by the devils and has nothing to do with the government."
He said coldly:
"You can only succeed, not fail. You only have one best chance. Once you fail, you will be alerted."
"Yunong understands!"
