Returning to the long-lost headquarters, in the huge war room, apart from the necessary combat staff officers who were coming and going, there were only two people left, the political commissar and the chief of staff, sitting in their seats, seemingly discussing something intensely.
Seeing Liu Hua suddenly appearing at the door of the war room, the two of them were obviously stunned. However, in just a moment, a look of surprise appeared on their faces. Then, political commissar Luo Ronghuan spoke first.
"Commander-in-Chief, when did you come back? The armored corps matter has been dealt with, why didn't you inform us..."
"Commander-in-Chief, this is your fault. Did you want to catch us off guard and see if we are being lazy..." Zuo Quan also said with a smile on his face.
"Political Commissar and Chief of Staff, I have just arrived. So far, the Armored Corps has been slowly getting on the right track under the command of Comrade Su Yu. As commander-in-chief, it is not suitable for me to be here, so I have to come back.
How about..., has anything big happened in the base area in the past month..." Liu Hua waved his hand and replied with a smile.
"There are no big things, but there are a lot of small things. Just now I was discussing with the two chiefs of staff how to deal with these small things to avoid causing backlash from the people in the base area. Now that you are back, Commander-in-Chief, we
But it's much easier..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan breathed a long sigh of relief and replied.
Hearing the answer from the political commissar in front of him, Liu Hua frowned immediately. After returning to his position, he asked the chief of staff in front of him.
"Chief of Staff, tell me briefly about the specific development of the base area in the past month and the various things that have not been dealt with. It just so happens that the three of us are here to discuss it together..."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
"Since the military confrontation between the enemy and our forces began, the Kwantung Army Army has never launched a single military provocation against our base area. The entire base area has finally ushered in an unprecedented calm. However, this calm did not last long.
The time was interrupted by a large number of Japanese and puppet military agents and Japanese expatriates in the base area..."
"During a month-long period, Japanese expatriates still staying in the base area, with the support of the Kwantung Army's secret service, launched 28 attacks on various government agencies of our army and party, causing huge damage to our army.
The loss. At the same time, it also greatly reduced the prestige that our army had just established in front of the people."
"Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that most of these Japanese expatriates have existed in the form of agricultural reclamation groups. Over a period of decades, more than two-thirds of the land in the base area has fallen into
In the hands of these agricultural reclamation groups, and in the hands of the soldiers and civilians in my base area, there is only a small amount of land. Therefore, this obstruction alone has greatly slowed down the speed of our party and government agencies in establishing a government at the base level..."
"It's the little devil again... It seems that if our Northeast Field Army doesn't give the little devil a little harsh treatment, the little devil will not know how to be afraid..." After a series of reports, Liu Hua's frown deepened.
.Clenched his fists and cursed loudly.
Then, he asked the two partners in front of him: "Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, have you two come up with any good countermeasures for this matter..."
At the signal of the political commissar, Zuo Quan spoke first.
"Commander-in-Chief, just now, the political commissar and I had some differences on this issue. What the political commissar meant was: In order to reflect my policy, and also for the stability of the entire base area, only those Japanese expatriates who have made mistakes will be arrested.
and trial. Those who have committed serious crimes will be shot directly, while those who have committed minor crimes will be handed over to the logistics department and let them perform a certain amount of labor in the base area... In the end, a relaxed attitude will be adopted to solve these problems step by step..."
"As for my idea, it is a bit inconsistent with the discipline of our army..."
Seeing the embarrassed Chief of Staff Zuo Quan in front of him, Liu Hua said with encouragement.
"Chief of Staff, we are just discussing now, not implementing it. If you have anything to say, just say it, don't worry..."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. What I mean is, no matter whether they are good or bad, it is the same across the board. As for these foreigners, regardless of whether they have committed crimes or not, as long as they are within the scope of my base area, all of them will be arrested. All of them will be arrested.
The land seized by the Japanese expatriates will be returned to the hands of the people, which will increase the enthusiasm of the people in the base area. At the same time, after all the Japanese expatriates are arrested, we can also avoid future troubles and turn the entire base area into the real logistics of our Northeast Field Army.
base…."
After answering, the eyes of political commissar Luo Ronghuan and chief of staff Zuo Quan once again focused on Liu Hua in front of him. Seeing the eyes of the two men, Liu Hua knew that an idea he had buried in his heart for several months was now
At this moment, it was time to surface. Thinking of this, Liu Hua answered decisively.
"Political commissar, chief of staff, as the saying goes, in troubled times, use heavy codes... Now we not only have to face resistance from the local Japanese expatriates at any time, but also face pressure from the people in the base area. After all, the land in the hands of the little devils was plundered from them.
So, my opinion is biased toward the Chief of Staff. I believe that great chaos can only be brought under control, as long as we can make up our minds and eradicate the roots. The people's hearts and minds in the entire base area will definitely be twisted into a rope because of our decision today, and eventually
, closely surrounding us….0..”
Within the entire Northeast Field Army, it can be said that Liu Hua's influence is no greater than anyone else. Just as Liu Hua finished speaking, political commissar Luo Ronghuan decisively gave up his thoughts. Then, facing the commander-in-chief in front of him,
Liu Hua asked with a worried look.
"Commander-in-Chief, what are you going to do? According to our statistics, the total number of Japanese expatriates in the entire Liaoning area has reached an astonishing more than 600,000. Calculated according to the population ratio, among the more than 600,000 bridge residents, at least
There are 150,000 young and middle-aged people. And almost all of these expats have some self-protection weapons. If we don’t handle it well, it is likely to cause strong resistance from these expats..."
Regarding political commissar Luo Ronghuan's concerns, Liu Hua waved his hand and answered mercilessly.
"Resistance is certain. After decades of management, in the eyes of these little devils and expatriates, these lands have become their private property. We will take away their hearts and minds from their hands, no matter what
Resistance is absolutely impossible..."
"However, we cannot be timid because of the resistance of the little devils. After all, the hundreds of thousands of little devils staying in the base area are like a cancer, growing in our hearts. If we cannot cut them off across the board
Go, this cancer may kill us at any time. Besides, compared with the more than 10 million people in the entire base area, these hundreds of thousands of expats are nothing at all..."
"Commander-in-Chief, since you have made a decision, please give the order..." After saying this, the political commissar who was still a little hesitant just now. At this moment, there is no longer any hesitation on his face. Instead,
He had a determined look on his face.
His opinion was affirmed and supported by his two partners, and the frown on Liu Hua's face slowly relaxed. Under the expectant eyes of his two partners, Liu Hua spoke.
"Resolving the more than 600,000 impoverished Japanese in the base area is an urgent matter for our development. However, the political commissar's concerns just now are not unreasonable. What I mean is that the entire solution process is divided into two steps. In this way, I will first
I expressed my thoughts and after detailed discussion between the three of us, we made the final decision. Political Commissar and Chief of Staff, what do you think?"
"I agree..." "I agree..."
"Very well... My advice, we will take a two-step approach. The first step is to deal with all the young and middle-aged people in the bridge. In the name of supporting the Anti-Japanese War, all the young and middle-aged people among the overseas Chinese will be recruited into the army. After all, now
They are within the jurisdiction of my party. If they do not fall behind, they must be consistent with our party's existing policies. Only in this way can the dissatisfaction of Japanese expatriates in the base area be reduced to the minimum..." Liu Hua said with a sly smile.
said.
"Capture the young men...Commander-in-Chief, do you want these little devils and expatriates to help us fight the Kwantung Army..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked with an incredulous look on his face.
"Political commissar, I think so too... However, I believe that even if we train them into soldiers in time, they will not listen to our orders..." In response to the political commissar's rhetorical question, Liu Hua smiled and shook his head.
"Although these overseas Chinese cannot be used by me to participate in the battle, they can build roads or railways, or help us reclaim land, dig mines... and make their own contribution to the construction of my base area. It's okay.
These people are all free labor..."
Seeing both of them nodding thoughtfully, Liu Hua continued...
"After the first step was completed, our local government and local work teams, with the cooperation of local troops, began to forcibly confiscate the land of these expatriates. Then it was re-measured, based on head count, and returned to the hands of the people...
Of course, if nothing else happens, the process of land confiscation will definitely arouse the strongest resistance from the overseas Chinese. At that time, local governments and troops will not be polite to me, but will arrest all the overseas Chinese in the base area, send them out of the base area, and hand them over to
The Kwantung Army is going to have a headache..."
"Profiteer...Commander-in-Chief, I have to say that you are a big profiteer..." Liu Hua had just finished speaking. The two political commissar and chief of staff commented in unison as if they had discussed it.
Seeing the Commander-in-Chief in front of him, despite the two people's comments, he still sat there without blushing or heartbeat. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a helpless face: "Commander-in-Chief, you are going to bring the little Japanese expatriates to my base area."
Decades of hard work have been squeezed out all at once..."
"Political Commissar, thank you for your reminder. When expelling the little Japanese nationals out of the country, except for necessary dry food and clothing, all the assets of these nationals will be confiscated in accordance with wartime regulations and handed over to the base government. These money and materials will be
As military expenses for the future construction of our base area and the war of resistance."
After more than a month of propaganda in this huge base area, the people at the bottom of the base finally slowly realized that they were no longer subjugated slaves under the rule of the Japanese Kwantung Army. However, as the people at the bottom,
, land, without exception, is their lifeblood...
Under decades of Japanese rule, the land that the older generation worked so hard to pass to their hands, because of the arrival of the Japanese, as long as it was the best land, without exception, all went into the hands of the Japanese Agricultural Reclamation Corps. And ordinary Chinese
In the hands of the common people, there is only a little bit of sloping land, which is not even enough to sustain their own lives.
In a small village about fifty kilometers away from Fengtian City, the people came to the little slope left by the little devil early as usual, and began to tend the crops they had worked so hard to plant. They looked forward to their year.
The final harvest will be enough to feed your family.
"Huzi, tell me, when will our family be able to have a piece of land on the plains... I heard that the yield of a piece of land under the mountain is more than twice that of ours..." He looked with bright eyes.
At the foot of the mountain, in the fertile fields that had been seized by Japanese expatriates, a middle-aged woman took care of the slopes at her feet and said again and again...
At the reminder of the middle-aged woman, Huzi also glanced at the land at the foot of the mountain with gleaming eyes. Then, he said with certainty: "Don't worry, Comrade Wang who came to our village last time said that the little devils around
, have been driven out of Liaoning by the troops led by the Communist Party. Even the little devils in Fengtian City have been driven away. If nothing happens, the little devils in our villages will be driven away sooner or later. Comrade Wang also said,
At that time, all the land snatched by the little devils will be redistributed to our hands..."
While they were talking, a company of troops wearing khaki military uniforms appeared in their eyes on the road not far away. Under the gaze of all the villagers on the slope, a company of troops quickly rushed towards the village not far away.
passed...
"Sister-in-law, you come just as I say. The troops on the road are the Northeast Field Army led by the Communist Party. They must be going to the villages to deal with the little devils in the villages. Let's go and have a look... look at these arrogant little devils.
, How can you continue to be so arrogant in front of the troops..." As he spoke, a group of villagers, led by Hu Zi, followed the team and rushed back to the village.
And just when everyone arrived at the entrance of the village, a chaotic situation appeared in front of everyone.
Groups of soldiers, led by comrades from the village working group, were arresting people from house to house in the residential area of Japanese expatriates. In less than half an hour, the entire agricultural reclamation regiment, more than 60 young and middle-aged people, were all concentrated in the village.
All together. Of course, all the weapons and ammunition that the little devil had hidden at home were also looted by the soldiers...
Seeing the scene in front of him, Huzi, as the village chief, had no choice but to bite the bullet and appeared in front of the working group leader Wang Donggui with the instigation of the villagers behind him.
"Comrade Wang, this is..."
"It's a tiger... The situation is like this. According to the research and decision of the supreme leader of our Northeast Field Army, these little devils, relying on the support of the Kwantung Army behind them, have been oppressing the people on Chinese soil and doing all kinds of evil. However, in the spirit of saving people,
After all, the headquarters decided to recruit all these young men into the army to build roads and open up wasteland for everyone... After they perform well in the future, they will be sent back to their countries..." Wang Donggui answered without any concealment.
"That's right..."
Huzi, who originally thought that the troops would drive away all the cabinets in the village and then return the land that the Japs had taken away to everyone's hands, couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard Wang Donggui's answer in front of him.
As the captain of the work team, Wang Donggui, of course, could see a little bit of Huzi's psychology at a glance. Then, he whispered to Huzi who looked disappointed next to him.
"Huzi, don't worry, the land in the village will be back in your hands sooner or later. According to the commander's order, recruiting these young men into the army is only the first step. Next, the army will send the little devils, women and children back to the country.
However, it will take some time... Now, all the young and middle-aged people, along with their weapons and ammunition, have been taken away by the army. I will give you a task. How about it? Do you have the confidence to complete it..."
Hearing that the land snatched by the little devils could be returned to his own hands, the disappointed look on Huzi's face was immediately enveloped by a thick smile. Following him, he looked confident at Wang Donggui in front of him.
's assurance.
"Comrade Wang, please rest assured. As long as the land can be returned to everyone's hands, I will do whatever you ask me to do..."
"The task is very simple. Take the young and middle-aged people in the village and take turns to guard the remaining little Japs, women and children in the village. Don't let them escape. When the time comes, I will leave a squad of soldiers to assist you. How about it?
, do you have the confidence to complete this task..." Looking at the simple Huzi in front of him, Wang Donggui ordered with a smile on his face.
"Comrade Wang, please rest assured and promise to complete the task..."
A few days later, under the expectation of all the people in the village, another company of troops appeared in the village. And in this operation, there were more than a hundred little Japanese, women and children left in the entire village, without exception.
All were taken away. As for the finances they had plundered for decades, there were no accidents. All were confiscated...
And just as the entire village was celebrating the departure of the Japanese expatriates, another piece of good news came one after another. The working group led by Wang Donggui will start tomorrow, with the cooperation of village cadres, to re-measure the village
Here, the land occupied by the little devils was then redistributed to each household according to population...
