Chapter 782: Reluctant to let go of the child but unable to trap the wolf (second update)
"Captain, there is another problem that must be solved immediately?" After discussing the anti-mopping up, Huang Yu's face became more serious than before, watching Kong Jie and Li Yunlong say another thing seriously...
"The Kwantung Army dealt with the common people more ruthlessly than the little Japanese North China Front Army."
"After the counter-mopping up begins, the Kwantung Army will definitely be angered by our army's tunnel warfare and guerrilla warfare, and will vent its anger by doing some excessive things."
"If there are ordinary people near them, they will definitely become the little devil's punching bag and encounter misfortune."
"The little devils destroy tunnels, build roads, and clear landmines...it requires a lot of manpower."
"If the common people with strong bases fall into their hands and become hostages, the soldiers will become helpless in their guerrilla warfare."
"Especially when using landmines, I am afraid that the little devil will let the common people step in front of the team to step on the mines."
"The minefield we finally laid out not only failed to hit the Japs, but actually hit our own people. That's not worth the loss."
"I suggest that the troops immediately clear the base areas that may become battlefields."
"All the people and livestock have been moved."
"Wells are buried with water, and food is well hidden."
"If the Japanese invade our base, we will be blind, unable to get any help, unable to grab a piece of food, or unable to drink a sip of clean water."
"Soldiers will not only have a lot less worries when fighting, but they can also take full advantage of our terrain, without having to worry about protecting the people, and they can fight how they want."
What Huang Yu said was reasonable and well-founded. This was also a common method used by the Eighth Route Army to launch raids on base areas. Logically speaking, Kong Jie would nod in agreement without hesitation.
But at this moment, not only Kong Jie, but also Li Yunlong hesitated.
If the Kwantung Army divides its forces into three groups to sweep the Yizhong base area, several counties and hundreds of villages outside the mountains will become war zones.
If all these places were cleared, there would be hundreds of thousands of civilians alone.
Since the establishment of the Yizhong Base Area, there has never been such a large-scale clearing of the countryside.
More importantly, not all the people in the base area were willing to listen to the Eighth Route Army's command and temporarily left the village and moved to the mountains to avoid the war.
Time is limited and this task cannot be completed no matter how hard it is.
Kong Jie didn't waste any time and directly explained the difficulties of relocating so many people: "Xiao Huang..."
“Strengthening the wall and clearing the field seems very simple.”
"The timing is much more difficult than you think. A little carelessness can cause civil strife."
"If there are some thoughtful people deliberately provoking conflicts, the chances of problems will be greater, and good things may turn into bad things."
"The transfer time is tight, and it is almost impossible to clear the war zone."
"Otherwise, like the last counter-mopping operation, we will just relocate the people along the highway and let them hide in the underground tunnels nearby until the battle is over before they come out."
Huang Yu shook his head: "No..."
"The Kwantung Army is a bunch of murderous beasts."
"I heard that they were killing entire villages in the Northeast...many places were turned into no-man's land by them."
"If there are ordinary people hiding in the war zone and they are discovered, the little devils who are angered by us will definitely vent their anger on them."
"No matter how much we regret it then, we will not be able to save hundreds of lives."
"After suffering losses along the highway, the Kwantung Army will definitely turn its attention to villages and towns far away from the highway."
"What if they find a few villages and towns where the people have not been relocated, use the people there as hostages, and confront our army in tunnel warfare and mine warfare, will we compromise with the devils, or will we ignore the people's safety and fight to the death with the devils?"
"In order to avoid these hidden dangers, we must strengthen the walls and clear the country, and clear the entire war zone."
"As for the difficulties in relocating people, as long as we are willing to pay the price, there are no problems that cannot be solved."
"Didn't we just seize millions of kilograms of grain in Baoding?"
"As long as we win the counter-mopping up and hold the base in the wing, the troops will not be short of food."
"I suggest that all this food be taken out and used as rations for the people who move to the mountains."
"As long as ordinary people in the war zone, regardless of gender, old or young, move into the mountains within the specified time, everyone can receive fifteen kilograms of grain at the specified location."
"As a result, more than 95% of the people in the war zone will rush to move for this food."
"Local troops only need to pacify and relocate the remaining half of the people in the war zone."
"We also need to make a promise to the people."
"During the transfer, all the houses destroyed by the war will be compensated according to the price by the base area, which will satisfy their last worries."
Just open your mouth and millions of kilograms of food will be gone...
It's like throwing a pebble into the sea without causing any ripples.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were both frightened by Huang Yu's generosity. They were stunned and it took them a long time to react.
But neither of them immediately nodded in agreement.
If these grains are used as military rations, the Yizhong Eighth Route Army will not need to worry about food rations in the next year.
Sending them out just for Jianbi Qingye'er would make everyone feel heartbroken.
Huang Yu saw their hesitation and reluctance and interrupted again: "Captain...Captain Li..."
"I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf."
"Don't look at us sending out millions of kilograms of grain at once."
"But you get a huge battlefield where you can fight the Japanese as you want without any worries."
"Based on this alone, the troops will be able to kill one or two thousand more Japs and reduce casualties by one or two thousand soldiers."
"If the food is gone, we can still grab it, but if the people are gone, it will be completely gone."
"Snapped……"
Kong Jie punched the table hard, gritted his teeth, and said cruelly: "It's done..."
"Isn't it just millions of catties of grain..."
"As long as we win the counter-mopping up and severely damage the Kwantung Army, the worst we can do is attack Baoding again in the future and rob his mother..."
Huang Yu immediately answered: "What is Baoding?"
"The little devil has several times more food stored at the Tianjin dock than in Baoding.
"If that doesn't work, let's raid Tianjin Pier."
"The tens of thousands of Kwantung troops who marched south are the only mobile troops in Okamura Neji's hands. If we kill them, our raid on the Tianjin dock will be smooth and without any risk."
Li Yunlong also made up his mind: "I agree to take out all the seized grain and transfer it to the people to appease the people."
“If you don’t have enough food, you can use money to make up for it.”
"We also seized a large amount of funds in Baoding. They were all ill-gotten gains plundered from the people by the little devils, and they were used by the people."
Kong Jie spoke again: "I will handle this matter..."
"I will issue orders to all villages and towns soon, asking the villagers to prepare during the day and set off at night."
"Everyone marched day and night, fortified the walls and cleared the fields under the nose of the Kwantung Army, clearing the war zone."
"When the Kwantung Army enters the base area, they will be frightened to death when they face the inaccessible villages."
