The reason why Xu Dalong and others did not take this into consideration is that according to usual practice, disaster victims usually flock to big cities or seek survival in towns around big cities. The Mawushan base area is relatively far from big cities, even if there are disaster victims coming here
Yes, the quantity is very limited.
In recent times, victims have been pouring in towards the Mawushan base area. At the beginning, because the number of victims was not large, the Mawushan Military Division organized the anti-Japanese democratic Zhengfu from various places to resettle all the victims.
stand up.
The number of victims far exceeded Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang and others' imagination. They found that this thing was very abnormal. So they sent people to inquire among the victims, and found that this was a conspiracy implemented by the Japanese army, who wanted to use these victims to
The Mawushan base area collapsed.
Not only that, there are also a large number of traitors among the victims. If these people enter the base area, they will spy on intelligence and carry out sabotage activities such as assassinations. It is difficult to distinguish the traitors among the victims.
The Mawushan Military Division has encountered unprecedented challenges since its establishment, even more troublesome than the massive Japanese offensive.
The anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party serve the people. They must not simply drive them away like the Japanese army did. They must rescue these victims as much as possible.
However, the capacity of the Mawushan base area was limited after all. Facing hundreds of thousands of victims, everyone felt a little overwhelmed.
Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others went to the temporary resettlement site for the victims. They saw that the victims were in ragged clothes and were so skinny that they were no longer human. Their hearts were bleeding and they wanted to save these victims as much as possible.
.But the pressure is really too much.
After returning from the resettlement site, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and Xu Dalong urgently held a special meeting to resettle the victims. The participants included the Mawushan Administrative Office, the heads of each county, and the leaders of each army.
Facing the influx of large numbers of disaster victims, everyone felt very headaches. Even Xu Dalong felt a little scratched his head.
At the critical moment, Li Yunlong decisively proposed a solution.
He said: "If a large number of disaster victims are released into the core area of the base area, it will destroy the original order within the base area, and the lives of the original residents of the base area will also be greatly affected. Moreover, there are many traitors among these victims.
If you can move around in the base area, you don't know how much damage it will cause.
Therefore, these disaster victims must not be allowed to go deep into the hinterland of the base area, so they are placed on the edge of the base area."
Li Yunlong put forward an idea to solve the problem. Everyone also believed that this was probably the only way at present. So a discussion started around Li Yunlong's proposal.
Everyone talked to each other and finally formed a set of methods to resettle the victims.
The military subdivision issued instructions to set up resettlement sites for disaster victims in the border areas of each county. Each of these settlement sites can accommodate approximately 20,000 to 30,000 victims.
Since the current climate is relatively suitable, the temperature during the day is not very high, and it does not rain, so open-air resettlement is adopted. Residents divide their respective areas in residential areas into family units or scattered groups of three to four people.
The surrounding area of the site will be monitored by soldiers from the army or county brigade to prevent random movement of victims and facilitate the unified management of the victims.
Porridge shacks were set up in every residential area to provide food for the victims, effectively preventing the victims from continuing to move.
After taking this measure, the chaotic situation caused by the victims was improved.
That night, a fire suddenly broke out in Yangcheng County, accompanied by gunshots and explosions.
Since Li Yunlong, Xu Dalong and others had little experience in resettling the victims at the beginning, they allowed a large number of victims to pour into various counties, with many Japanese and puppet spies mixed among them.
The victims are mobile and it is impossible to check their identity and origin, so it is difficult to identify these spies. In order to create chaos in the base area, these spies either mix among the victims to sow discord, encourage the victims to rob the people in the city, and some even set fire to them.
, throwing bombs, poisoning, and carrying out assassinations, and everyone was in danger for a while.
Except for Yangcheng County, the situation in other counties is slightly better, but they are also chaotic to varying degrees.
In order to solve the chaotic situation, the county towns in each county carried out publicity to the victims, hoping that they would leave the city. However, the victims finally found a place where they could shelter from the wind and rain, and they were unwilling to leave the city at all.
For these disaster victims, the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party could not forcibly evict them, so the chaotic situation was difficult to solve.
Everyone felt a headache. So they quickly held a meeting to discuss ways to solve the problem.
Li Yunlong said: "The situation in various counties has been so chaotic these days. The damn traitorous spies have mingled among the victims and taken the opportunity to cause chaos. It is impossible to prevent them. I think we should simply send troops to forcefully expel all the victims and resettle them like other residents."
It’s all the same and managed in a unified way.”
Zhao Gang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this won't work. Those victims didn't listen to persuasion at all. In addition, the Japanese and puppet agents were causing trouble inside and inciting the victims. The emotions of the victims were very unstable.
If they are forcibly evicted, it will seriously affect the credibility of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces, and simple and crude methods will not work."
Li Yunlong said: "Then what should we do? Just let the chaos in the city continue?"
Everyone discussed for a long time, but could not think of any proper solution. In the end, everyone turned their attention to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong is resourceful and has always been the backbone of everyone. Everyone has become accustomed to it. They really can't think of a way to solve the problem, so they all count on Xu Dalong in the end.
Xu Dalong also felt a headache at the beginning, and he was also trying hard to think of ways to solve the problem. What he wanted to solve were two problems. The first was how to keep the victims away from the city, and the second was how to keep the victims mixed in.
The spies among them were dug out.
Xu Dalong came from later generations. It was an era of information explosion, and all kinds of information were flying everywhere. He worked hard to search for his own knowledge, and suddenly remembered a TV series that reflected the Tang Dynasty, and there was a scene in it about resettling disaster victims.
After considering the situation in front of him carefully, he felt that it should be feasible.
Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, he said: "I have a solution that should be able to solve the current dilemma."
Then, he explained his method.
Everyone was very excited after hearing this. Li Yunlong said happily: "Brother Dalong, your mind is so flexible that you can come up with such ideas. We, Lao Li, really admire you."
Zhao Gang was also very happy and said: "Captain, this is a fantastic idea, it will definitely solve the problem. I will make arrangements now."
At noon that day, it was almost lunch time, and the victims were waiting for the Civil Affairs Department to distribute rations to them.
Today, the Minzheng Department did not cook porridge in the porridge shed. Instead, they placed a row of large vats near the city gate. The vats extended to the outside of the city. Each vat was 50 meters apart. The Minzheng Department poured water into the vats.
Put out food rations.
The grain in the large vat closest to the city only covered the bottom of the vat. The larger vats toward the outside of the city contained more grain.
Naturally, the victims gathered around the big vat with more rations, took all the food inside, and then ran to other vats. As a result, they were naturally attracted by the rations in the vats and automatically ran out of the city. Soon, they ran out of the city.
Soon most of the victims left the city.
This time, the Japanese and puppet spies who were among the victims were confused. Their mission was to sneak into the county town and cause destruction, and of course they were unwilling to follow the victims out of the city.
When they discovered that all the victims had fled, they panicked and hurriedly ran out of the city. Unfortunately, it was too late. After most of the victims left the city, the garrison in the city decisively closed the city gate.
The people who left the city were surrounded by troops from the military division. People from the civil affairs department reassured them, saying that a new settlement had been prepared for them and their lives would be properly arranged.
Finally, they left the county under the escort of the army and headed for a new resettlement site.
In this way, the victims were cleverly led out of the city, and the chaotic situation in the city was resolved.
The small number of victims who remained in the city were all put under control by the army. Due to the small number, the army had the energy to screen them, and soon they discovered many Japanese and puppet spies hidden among the victims.
After hard work, the Mawushan Military Division successfully resettled 340,000 disaster victims.
The flow of disaster victims has been controlled, and internal stability has basically been restored. However, the management of disaster victims is still a headache.
The so-called "Much Ado About Nothing" means that there are 20,000 to 30,000 people in each resettlement site for disaster victims. They have nothing to do, so it is inevitable that they will create their own problems.
In addition, there are still some bad elements among the crowd, who deliberately instigate relations among the victims. Fights often occur, and some people even die as a result.
After research, Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others first sent a large number of staff to go deep into the victims, register their household registrations, and place people from the same place together as much as possible. They also designated responsible persons and asked them to report those who were mixed in the crowd.
The bad elements among them.
In this way, the space for those bad elements to mix among the victims was reduced. Soon, a group of spies were uncovered, which reduced the damage caused by the Japanese and puppet spies. The victims became more stable.
After the victims were fed and refreshed, the Mawushan Military Division decided to recruit a group of young adults from the victims to join the anti-Japanese armed forces. The remaining people who were capable of working were organized to help the local people open up wasteland.
Those who participate in land reclamation can receive a certain amount of wages, which greatly mobilizes the enthusiasm of these victims and also reduces the dissatisfaction of local residents with the victims.
In general, the work of resettling victims in the Mawushan Military District has been a great success.
After the Taiyue Military Region heard the news, it asked the Mawushan Military Region to write a report on its experience in resettling the victims, report it to the military region, and forward it to the head of the headquarters.
After reading the experience report forwarded by the military region, the head of the headquarters said with emotion: "A Mawushan military division can actually house more than 300,000 disaster victims, and it is well organized. This is really an amazing achievement."
The chief of staff said: "Xu Dalong and the others are not simple. No matter what they do, they can handle it reassuringly."
The division commander said: "Xu Dalong is thoughtful and forward-looking. The fact that he is able to accommodate so many victims is inseparable from his advance preparation for the drought. Such an outstanding commander with a strategic vision is really valuable."
With the successful experience of resettling disaster victims in the Mawu Mountain District, when military divisions in other areas complained to the commander, the commander directly pushed them back.
He said: "You have a military subdivision that has resettled 20,000 victims, and you are still complaining. The Mawushan Military Subdivision has resettled more than 300,000 victims, but there has been no trouble. You still have the nerve to complain here."
The leaders of the military division who had been criticized were really embarrassed to say anything. This is more infuriating than the popularity. There is Xu Dalong in the Mawushan Military Division.
The drought lasted until July 25, and there was still not a drop of rain.
The Mawushan Military Division resettled more than 300,000 disaster victims, and later some came one after another. The total number of people was close to 400,000, and more than 200,000 kilograms of food was needed in one day.
Coupled with the consumption of various military agencies and local residents in the Mawushan Military Division, the monthly food consumption exceeds tens of millions of kilograms.
The drought has lasted for too long, and landlords have begun to run out of food surplus. The quantity of food stocks in the Mawushan Military Division is getting smaller and smaller.
The Japs are not good birds to begin with. Originally, the enemy and we had reached a tacit understanding, and a large amount of food could be transported from the rear, and the amount of food distributed to both sides was basically the same. However, the Japs did not care about the life and death of the people, only that their troops could store enough food.
food.
The Japanese army quickly stored enough food for half a year. However, the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party not only had to meet the needs of the troops, but also resettled a large number of victims and took care of local residents. The food gap was still huge.
Under this situation, the Japanese suddenly changed their attitude. They no longer allowed the grain purchased from the rear to pass through the Japanese-occupied areas, and began to attack the grain transport teams of the anti-Japanese armed forces.
The kid's betrayal angered the boss, who ordered anti-Japanese armed forces from all over the country to attack the Japanese army.
Even under such difficult circumstances as the drought, Li Yunlong still did not stop training. There was no war during this period, so he focused on the training ground every day.
Now that the headquarters finally issued a combat order, he suddenly became excited.
He said: "These poor little devils have forgotten the pain after their scars are healed. They have just eaten a few full meals and have forgotten the feeling of hunger. Laozi is going to paralyze all his transportation lines this time. I
Let’s see how long they can last.”
Li Yunlong's idea was right. Although the Japanese army had food reserves for half a year, in addition to food, they also needed other supplies, such as weapons and ammunition.
