This time, Fu Zuoyi and Xie Tian were on the same page. One dared to ask for a fight, and the other dared to agree.
Xie Tian laughed and looked at Fu Zuoyi and said: "Okay, I will leave Linfen to your 42nd Army to recover it. Commander Zhao, tomorrow your staff will work with Commander Fu to formulate a battle plan. Our 42nd Army's The first battle must not only be won, but also won beautifully.”
Zhao Gang stood up and said yes, then smiled and said: "Our General Staff has formulated two sets of combat plans against Linfen, but we did not expect that we would have the 42nd Army, and we still need to make some modifications to the combat plans. "
Xie Tianling was stunned for a moment, pointed at Zhao Gang with his finger, and said with a smile: "Well, you old Zhao, you ran in front of me again. If you continue like this, I won't have a job."
Zhao Gang laughed and said: "How come the Commander-in-Chief has no work to do? You can take charge of the work of the art troupe and create more masterpieces like "My Motherland" that can inspire people's enthusiasm for anti-Japanese war."
People laughed loudly. Well, Commander Zhao, are you planning to let Commander Xie sing and dance all day long?
Laughing all night long until midnight, if it weren't for time, no one would be able to sleep even if they chatted until dawn.
The next day, the peaceful liberated area began to boil again.
The General Headquarters of the Tenth Theater issued a recruitment order, formally establishing the 42nd Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and appointed General Fu Zuoyi as the commander-in-chief of the 42nd Army. The recruitment scope covers all young people of appropriate age, with priority being recruited from reserve officers and soldiers.
Many aspiring young people who traveled thousands of miles to come to the ideal world finally waited for the opportunity to serve their country, and for a while they almost overcrowded the temporary recruitment offices.
The Tenth Theater Command also issued another order. Comrade Xie Baoqing, commander-in-chief of the theater, will no longer concurrently serve as commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army from now on. Comrade Xu Shiyou, deputy commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army, will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army. Commander in Chief.
The 41st Group Army also made a series of adjustments in personnel appointments. Qin Fen, the commander of the 49th Army, was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army and commander of the 49th Army. The 50th Army was appointed Army Commander Chu Yunfei was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army and commander of the 50th Army, and Comrade Li Yunlong was appointed as acting commander of the 51st Army and commander of the 301st Division...
No one noticed that in a series of major personnel adjustments, the former 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army had been unknowingly integrated into the large force of the People's Liberation Army. Even if someone did, they didn't feel anything was wrong.
It's just that some people in Yan'an may be disappointed. They originally thought that the 386 Brigade's gay revolutionary stance was firm and would affect the People's Liberation Army and even slowly assimilate the People's Liberation Army. However, they did not expect that the 386 Brigade was unknowingly China has completely transformed into a People's Liberation Army team.
The team, which has so far had no partisan characteristics, is constantly assimilating those who once had firm beliefs, and even Hongmen has begun to enter their camp.
A book appeared on the tables of Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing and Mao Zedong in Yan'an: "The Ideal World"
At the same time, Shanxi and Hebei Xingying also announced the establishment of a gun ban committee. Pang Yuan also served as the director of the gun ban committee. Chen Xiang, Xie Baoqing, and Yan Xishan were appointed as deputy directors of the committee. Chen Xiang presided over the daily work of the gun ban committee.
The high standards of this gun ban committee are eye-catching, and it also represents the determination of the Shanxi-Hebei camp to ban guns. The fact that Chen Xiang presides over the daily work of the gun ban committee is even more surprising to many people.
The Hongmentong generation boss who had not left home for seven years finally came out.
The first notice issued by the Gun Ban Committee was murderous, requiring all civil organizations and individuals in the Shanxi-Hebei Hangying area to turn in their standard weapons, standard explosives, and ammunition within three days. Anyone who violates the order will be punished.
Even Xie Tian did not expect that on the first day of the gun ban, the Hongmen family alone turned in more than 500 long and short guns of various types, three light machine guns, one Jin-made Type 89 heavy machine gun, and more than 100 boxes of various types of ammunition. .
Damn it, the weapons and ammunition Hongmen handed over were enough to arm a battalion.
With Hongmen taking the lead, the gun ban had an immediate effect. In Taiyuan City alone, more than 1,700 weapons of various types were confiscated from the private sector within three days, and someone even turned in an Italian cannon...
After hearing the news, Xie Tian almost jumped to his feet and scolded his mother. What do you mean by a caravan selling private salt and hiding an Italian cannon? Um?
The three-day restriction period passed in the blink of an eye. Some vigilante groups who were waiting and watching originally thought that this matter would pass away in a gust of wind, just like the policies implemented in the past. However, they did not expect that as soon as the three-day period passed, the armed police force suddenly came to the border. , the armored vehicle blocked the door directly.
Civil society groups were targeted one after another with precision, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were seized.
The three-day period for voluntary surrender has expired, and it is now said to have been seized.
The militia groups that had weapons and equipment that they did not voluntarily turn in within the restricted period not only had their weapons confiscated by force, but also had a large number of people arrested. The three prisons in Taiyuan City began to be overcrowded.
From urban areas to suburbs, and from suburbs to rural areas, the vigorous gun ban movement is in full swing.
Some landlords who resisted the land reform policy in the liberated areas were confiscated by armed police and imprisoned. As for when they can be released, it depends on the progress of the implementation of the land reform policy in the liberated areas.
There were a few idiots with weak brains who violently resisted the surrender of guns and land reform. Chen Xiang was not polite to them. Those who violently resisted the law would be killed without mercy.
A series of bloody heads fell to the ground, and all the landlords and wealthy people instantly became honest.
Gao Kuirong from Dagu Town stopped making trouble. He stayed indoors all day drinking and complained to his son-in-law who had not yet married.
This old man has finally thought about it this time. The fragrant roast chicken is eaten every day, and the sweet potatoes from Wangjia Winery are roasted half a pound a day. Eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink. The general trend is, do what you like, live as long as you want. Better than those who lost their heads.
Gao Meijuan breathed a sigh of relief when her father was like this. She ran to Xiangmanlou to lend a hand and chat to Li Chunxiang all day long. Looking at Gao Meijuan's hot face, Li Chunxiang, whose belly was getting bigger day by day, stopped showing off. A cold butt, back and forth, the two women became good sisters who talked about everything.
However, both of them deliberately avoided talking about Xie Baoqing and Tang Haoer.
I don't know why, but the two of them seemed to be starting to distance themselves from each other, and the distance was getting bigger and bigger.
Finally one day, the two women sat together and drank wine, crying and laughing. Taking advantage of the wine, Gao Meijuan bought a store opposite Xiangman Building and opened a clinic.
