Xu Shiyou looked at the sand table and said with some trepidation: "If we occupy the north of the Yellow River, we will inevitably touch the vested interests of those two families and may conflict with them."
Xie Tianyi smiled: "We are not going to conflict with them. We are here to fight the Japanese. If they are not effective in fighting the Japanese, why should we not be allowed to fight? Do they dare to say this themselves?"
Xu Shiyou grinned and said: "That's the reason. I think we can use Liberation Daily to build some momentum first."
Xie Tian laughed loudly: "Okay, brother, we can even make use of the momentum of public opinion. We attack along the north bank of the Yellow River, and we need to take a multi-pronged approach. This requires strategy. Wait a minute, I will call Lao Zhao Call me over, Lao Zhao has something in his mind, let’s try it together and see how to fight this battle.”
Zhao Gang received a call from Xie Tian and came over happily carrying two bottles of wine: "Thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief, for thinking of me if you have something delicious to eat. Lao Li just happened to bring me some bottles of good wine some time ago. Northeastern braised rice. Let's try it together." taste."
Xu Shiyou laughed loudly: "The Northeastern Xiaoshao is a damn good wine. That guy Li Yunlong is just bullying you because he doesn't know how to drink and fools you."
Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment and picked up the wine bottle in disbelief. Seeing that the bottle did not look like good wine, he couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, this bastard, he even tricked me into accompanying him to go to Chu Yunfei for some wine." Equipment, let’s see how I settle accounts with him next time I see him.”
Xie Tian laughed and took the wine from Zhao Gang's hand: "This wine is down-to-earth and good. I will drink it tonight."
Xu Shiyou took Zhao Gang and told him what he had just discussed with Xie Tian. Zhao Gang looked at Xie Tian with a bitter smile and said, "Commander-in-Chief, you actually have a plan in mind, right? If you want to attack my old employer, why don't you still You have to drag me into the water, if I had known I wouldn’t have come here.”
Xie Tian laughed loudly: "No matter what, one person is the enemy, and three people are the enemy. We only deal with the little devils. As for the others, we have not considered so much."
Zhao Gang smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, looked at Xu Shiyou and said, "Hasn't the Commander-in-Chief made it very clear? We will only deal with the little devils, and there is no need to consider other things. If you in the middle and wild liberate a place, the government of our liberated area will naturally Just follow them to a place. As for the Kuomintang-controlled areas, base areas, etc., you middle and wild people don’t have to worry about them at all. Let them be where they are willing to be. If there is anything you can’t get around, discuss with them a way out. You guys are occupying the latrine and don’t shit. , instead of fighting the little Japs, it’s okay for our People’s Liberation Army to pass by your territory and fight the Japs, right? I don’t believe they have the nerve to continue to stay there. It doesn’t matter even if they continue to waste their time there. Wait until we kill the Japs. They have all been wiped out, and there are liberated areas in all directions. They can spend whatever they want. The people will assimilate them sooner or later."
Xie Tian smiled: "This can be regarded as treating by doing nothing."
Xu Shiyou smiled bitterly: "If I were them, they would be ashamed to death."
Xie Tian smiled and patted Xu Shiyou's arm: "It is an indisputable fact that the Eighth Route Army has poor equipment and a weak foundation, and its combat effectiveness is not as good as the Japanese army. However, the Eighth Route Army's fighting will is quite admirable. In fact, our starting point is the same as that of the Eighth Route Army and Chongqing in the general direction. "We all want to see our motherland prosper, but the difference between us and them is that we will not impose a set of governance ideas on our country, nor will we use any political party to artificially create a class."
At this time, applause and Pang Yuan's laughter came from the door: "I heard you make a grand speech again as soon as I entered the door. When it comes to class, Xie Baoqing, I have to refute you, even if there is no party or other forms of artificial Push, class is everywhere too.”
Xie Tian happily looked at Pang Yuan who came in from the door: "Brother Pang Pang, are you back?"
Pang Yuan smiled and said: "Nonsense, if you don't come back, your wife and children will be kidnapped by you. When I got home, I saw that they were not there, so I guessed that they would come to your place."
Xie Tian laughed: "Isn't that great? When you pay your salary later, just remember to give me food money."
Pang Yuan smiled and said: "You are beautiful. Zhang Xueliang asked me to tell you that Kim Il Sung has been contacted. He is now the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 88th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Soviet Far East Army. He heard that you want to help him revive North Korea. I’m very excited, and I’m on my way to Tianjin via a detour, and it will probably take a few days to arrive.”
Xie Tian grinned and asked, "Why did he go to become the battalion commander of the Soviet Far East Army?"
Xie Tian really didn't know much about Kim Il Sung's history. He only knew that Kim Il Sung's reputation was not that prominent before the Soviet Union sent troops to North Korea. It was not until the Soviet Union entered northern North Korea that Kim Il Sung returned to North Korea and established the Workers' Party. , but now the person preparing to support Kim Il Sung has become him.
Pang Yuan smiled and said: "I'm not sure about this. Zhang Xueliang didn't say it, and I didn't ask, but your idea of using Koreans to build resistance forces to disintegrate the Northeast War situation from within the Japanese is correct, and I support it."
In the hearts of Pang Yuan and most people, North Korea has long been regarded as a part of Japan. After all, Japan has ruled North Korea for fifty years. A large part of the soldiers in the Japanese army were recruited from North Korea, and a large part of them were recruited from North Korea. Korean soldiers also regarded themselves as Japanese.
However, in the minds of the Japanese, the Koreans are just a second-class nation vassalized under their Yamato nation. They are not much different from the citizens of Manchukuo, Mengzi, and the puppet Nanjing government. The only difference is that Korea has signed an agreement with Japan. With the merger treaty, North Korea has actually become a nation and has become a part of Japan.
At this time Tang Haoer came in and said, "It's time to eat."
"Eat, eat, chat while eating." Xie Tian smiled and pushed everyone towards the door.
Originally, there were not many people and everyone could squeeze into the same table to eat. Now that there are more and more people, Tang Haoer and Lan Yufang divided the dining table into two tables, one for men under the persimmon tree and one for women. Under the grape trellis, they don't interfere with each other, and it's also convenient for Xie Tian and the others to talk.
The general strategic direction has been determined. Xu Shiyou no longer asks about the dispatch of troops from Nakano. He will solve the tactical problems by himself. There is no need to worry about this kind of thing anymore. Besides, after the great victory of Jiayingguan, the Japanese army is entrenched in Shandong and Henan. There were not many combat troops left in the Twelfth Army and the remnants of the First Army that had retreated through the old path of the Yellow River. Xu Shiyou held the heavy troops of the three main armies and was confident of regaining the north of the Yellow River.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xie Tian looked at Pang Yuan and asked, "Brother Pang Pang, how is Tangshan's recovery now?"
Pang Yuan waved his hand: "Tangshan is now a blank city, and everything needs to be rebuilt. I have deployed some technical forces from Taiyuan, Tianjin, Beiping, Shijiazhuang and other places to support the reconstruction of Tangshan, especially places like Tangshan Iron and Steel Plant and Kailuan Coal Mine. Such heavy industrial bases must resume production as soon as possible."
Pang Yuan knew what Xie Tian was most concerned about, but he didn't feel comfortable asking, so he spoke first about the two pillar industries in Tangshan.
In recent times, the arsenal has increased its weapons and equipment production, and the consumption of steel and coal has increased several times compared with before. Although the liberated areas control several large-scale resource mining areas, they are still somewhat stretched, especially the shipbuilding industry. The gold-swallowing giant beast is devouring a large amount of steel every day.
