751 Stealing the Japanese invaders’ food, leaving the Japanese invaders with no food to eat...
The headquarters of the independent regiment.
Inside the headquarters.
With the intelligence system that the Independent Regiment is now vigorously developing, underground intelligence networks are spread throughout Yangquan and the surrounding areas occupied by the Japanese.
A large number of victims poured into Yangquan and the main counties in the surrounding areas occupied by the Japanese army.
Such a huge movement, coupled with the fact that the initiator is the Independent Regiment's Camouflage Bureau.
While the Japanese-occupied area was being thrown into chaos by a large number of true and false notices, Kong Jie, Xu Guoan, and Li Wenjie were happily passing intelligence messages back from the headquarters one by one, and "watching" the enemy from a distance.
The farce of occupying the area.
"Old Kong, it seems that you have studied the Japs thoroughly over the years, and you are really right. This little Japs really pretended to put out a batch of grain. In the past two days, he has been setting up stalls all over the county to distribute it to the victims.
Where’s the porridge!”
Chief of Staff Xu Guoan expressed emotion at this. It is rare for a little devil to show kindness even though he is forced by the situation.
Kong Jie said with a smile: "There are notices posted on the streets and alleys. After this period of fermentation, whether it is true or false, at least the victims believe it."
"A large number of victims came after hearing the news. If the Japs didn't want to lose people's support and arouse public anger, they could only admit it with pinched noses. At least in public, they had to maintain their status as managers of the occupied areas."
Xu Guoan said: "But the little devil can't be so kind. Just because we deliberately publicized some notices, we used the already scarce food to help the victims."
"Judging from what we have detected in the past few days, the amount of porridge and food distributed by the little devils every day is gradually decreasing."
“At first, I posted twice a day, but later on, sometimes I wouldn’t even post once every one or two days.”
"It seems that the little devil deliberately used this method to let the victims retreat."
"It's a meal if you can!"
Kong Jie is also more than willing to do this.
"The area affected by the spread of this disaster is too wide. No matter how deep our foundation is, we cannot withstand such consumption."
"The victims can have a good time with the little devils if they can."
At this point, Kong Jie, who seemed to have some evil thoughts, rubbed his chin and said:
"The Japanese did not dare to suppress them directly with force."
“It’s just that the porridge and food distributed every day are getting less and less.”
"This is to use practical actions to tell the victims that the Japanese army has tried its best, but there is really not enough food and they are forcing the victims to leave.
If my guess is correct, the little devils may even deliberately conduct propaganda to lure a large number of disaster victims to our base area."
Li Wenjie, the political commissar who has been responsible for the feeding problem of the soldiers and civilians of the Ruoda Detachment, said quickly:
"Captain, then we have to find a way quickly. We must not just watch this happen."
"Right now, the number of victims our team can accommodate is approaching the limit."
"According to your previous arrangements, the head of the group, we have done enough publicity to allow some of the relief victims to return to their hometowns for farming. The operation has not yet been fully launched. So far, less than 2,000 people have been successfully arranged to return home."
"We don't dare to close our eyes and accept disaster victims now."
Kong Jie said: "What if hundreds or even thousands of tons of grain can be obtained in a short period of time?"
Li Wenjie said: "...Captain, are you talking about the grain that the Japanese transported in through railway lines from other places?"
"Yeah!" Kong Jie nodded.
"It's not winter right now, so food and accommodation are easy to get. If there is enough food, the disaster can be alleviated to a great extent."
Li Wenjie knew very well that Kong Jie had been plotting against the Japanese to transport military rations through the railway line.
During this period, Kong Jie has been studying the combat map and mobilized the entire intelligence force of the team.
Even to the headquarters and brigade, after Kong Jie reported the specific intelligence analysis, the brigade commander and boss made corresponding arrangements.
Find a way to intercept the military rations transported by the Japanese army in the near future.
Alleviating the tremendous pressure faced by the base area under the increasingly serious disaster situation.
With one thing going the other way, it can also weaken the strength of the Japanese army, so why not?
"So, now we just need to wait for an opportunity."
"What's the opportunity?"
Kong Jie asked and answered himself: "The fire has become more and more heated with the help of this propaganda war."
"Before Shi Dahu went to Jizhong, he had already arranged everything in the propaganda team."
"In the enemy-occupied area, under the pressure of the situation, the little devils pretended to distribute food to the victims for a while."
"But the amount of porridge and food for relief is decreasing rapidly."
"The little devil wants to maintain the image of being friendly to the people in general, and is taking advantage of the situation to push the victims to our Eighth Route Army base area."
"Then it depends on which one of us does a better job of publicity."
"During this period, in order to cope with the propaganda war, I have ordered the propaganda department of our team to be further expanded."
"Although the amount of porridge and food provided by the Japanese is decreasing rapidly, there is still some.
For the victims who have not had a bite of food for many days, as long as the Japanese still distribute porridge, they will not give up hope."
"The follow-up depends on how we carry out our publicity work."
"One principle is to avoid the important and ignore the light. Don't pay attention to the Japanese army's continuous reduction of porridge and grain relief, and the propaganda of the Japanese army's food shortage. We only need to thoroughly publicize the situation of the Japanese army's relief to the victims."
Xu Guoan said: "There is only so much we can do in the base area right now. It would be good for the victims to have one or two meals in the enemy-occupied area first."
"After this propaganda spreads, more victims will definitely flow into enemy-occupied areas."
"The little devil should have a headache."
After careful consideration, Kong Jie expressed his thoughts.
"The disaster is getting more serious. We don't know how many poor people are suffering from hunger in places we can't see."
"Our independent group is immediately ready to do multiple tasks."
"First, continue to expand the residential areas of the base area outwards, prepare all prerequisites, and continue to accept disaster victims in the future."
"Second, if we can only enter but not exit, our base area will be overcrowded sooner or later. Internal publicity work must be done in place, and the process should be accelerated to arrange for the victims to return to their hometowns to farm."
"But we must be careful not to act too hastily. We allow the victims to return to their hometowns so that they can live a more comfortable life, not to let them go back and starve to death."
"Bring enough spare food when you return home. We will accompany the soldiers who are going to open up the guerrilla zone. Wenjie, please be more careful and make arrangements."
"Hey!" Li Wenjie responded.
Kong Jie continued: "Third, continue to intensify cooperation with enemy-occupied areas and Kuomintang-controlled areas in various aspects, mainly focusing on the purchase of grain."
"Four, our regiments immediately start preparing plans to rob food."
"These days, while the little devil is being harassed by the victims pouring in from all directions, it is the best time for us to attack secretly."
"Old Xu, it's time to come up with the unified and coordinated combat plan of the staff department."
Xu Guoan responded: "Okay, tomorrow morning at the latest, the staff will complete the detailed combat plan."
"With our Eighth Route Army in Taihang, Taiyue and other base areas as the main force, and supplemented by local troops and militia forces, it can be said that it was a major food-grabbing operation with the participation of all members."
"The principle is, grab the little devil's food so that the little devil has nothing to eat, eat the little devil's food, and then beat the little devil hard when you have enough strength!" Kong Jie said with a smile...
