In fact, it can basically be said that it is an independent division that feeds the people in the entire Laiyang area.
After listening to Li Weimin's speech, everyone here realized how far the independent division had developed. It was already able to achieve self-sufficiency and independent development.
Afterwards, Zhou Weiguo stood up and said, "Next, let me tell you what we will do next year."
"The top priority next year is the development of the navy." Zhou Weiguo pointed to the map and said, "Everyone knows that our area is actually very close to the sea. Especially Haiyang. Now it is because of the drug penicillin
We can still communicate with the outside world. However, it is all foreigners who are sailing outside. Although it seems that we are developing very well now. We can also rely on foreigners. But this is not possible. We are independent and must have our own
A navy! Only in this way can we protect our territorial waters!"
"So, after the new year, the navy will conduct a screening among the soldiers of each regiment."
"Second, next year, our independent division is expected to open a large-scale breeding factory to provide standard meals for the soldiers of our independent division."
"Third, our independent division also needs to build a food processing factory to process the endless fish, meat, fruits and vegetables into cans and sell them."
"Fourth, there will be a lot of construction in the Laiyang area. We not only want the people to eat well, but also live well and dress well. We will provide more job opportunities and increase the people's income."
"Fifth, in the next year, we will have heavy combat tasks. I hope that all regiments will be prepared."
…
After nearly a day of meeting reports, Zhou Weiguo left Liu Yuan and Chen Wu alone.
"Chen Wu, are there many Japanese spies in Laiyang area now?"
"Yeah. There are a lot of them, and it's hard to find them." Chen Wu nodded and said, "The last time there was cholera, it was the action of Japanese spies."
"Chen Wu, I know you are from a military background." Zhou Weiguo looked at Chen Wu and said, "But in our independent division, regardless of party affiliation, as long as it can fight the Japanese and is beneficial to the people, I recognize it. Liu Yuan is a member of the Communist Party
, but he is also the eldest brother I have played with since childhood, and he also calls me daddy. He can even make decisions on my behalf when I am not around. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Chen Wu stood at attention and saluted.
"Brother, in short, the intelligence system of our independent division depends on you two. You two will discuss how to work." Zhou Weiguo said to Liu Yuandu.
"Okay." Liu Yuan nodded.
…
Laiyang, a certain restaurant.
"I heard that Zhou Weiguo is back?"
"Well, yes, I just returned to Laiyang yesterday."
"Do you know where he went before?"
"I don't know, but based on the Harbin incident, I think he went to Harbin with a special force."
"He even went to Tianjin to assassinate General Sugiyama Yuan."
"I think so."
"What a terrible enemy."
"How is the investigation going on about the defense of Laiyang Airport?"
"Laiyang Airport is actually to the west of Laiyang. The location is not difficult to find, and it is even very simple. However, the defense is very strict. There are two infantry regiments guarding it. There are also personnel on duty from their Air Force flying brigade. Even,
There are people from the independent division’s special agent battalion.”
"It looks like it will be difficult to break through."
"I do think that as long as our bombers carry out surprise bombings, the effect will be very good."
"It's impossible. I heard that the ground support facilities at Laiyang Airport have been set up, and there are even very advanced radar devices."
"So fast?"
"Yeah. So, we just need to report the information truthfully. The military department will not touch Laiyang now."
"That's true."
"We were originally going to bomb their headquarters, but unfortunately, they were discovered at the last moment."
"This method can basically no longer be used. The area around the headquarters is already being watched very closely."
"I still think that the reward for assassinating Zhou Weiguo will be far greater than the cost. I don't know why the section chief has always disagreed."
"Are you really stupid? Who is Zhou Weiguo? He is the youngest lieutenant general in history. He has hundreds of thousands of warriors at his disposal, and you want to assassinate him? We have made many plans, but which one has been successful? Lesson
The principal is right to disagree, and that is to protect us! Because the section principal knows Zhou Weiguo better than we do!"
"All right."
"Sleep, sleep! Yunzi!"
"Hi!"
…
On February 10, 1939, the Japanese army captured Hainan.
Historically, the Japanese invaded Hainan Island had been planned for a long time. As early as 1904-1905, shortly after the Russo-Japanese War, after the Japanese government formulated the "Imperial Defense Policy" for foreign aggression, the Japanese Navy put forward the "Southern Advance Theory".
", and advocated adopting "oceanism" as Japan's "state affairs" and taking the occupation of Hainan Island as a strategic component of its foreign aggression. In the "North Sea Incident" in September 1936, the Japanese Naval Command attempted to use the Japanese as a means of
As an excuse to kill, they captured Hainan Island. In the "North Sea Incident Handling Guidelines" formulated by the Japanese Naval Command, it is clearly stated: "The guaranteed occupation of Hainan Island will be carried out depending on the situation." Its operations department even ignored the confrontation with the United Kingdom and the United States.
, formulated a plan to leave the army, but it failed for some reason.
It was not until February 10, 1939, that the Japanese finally launched an invasion of Hainan Island to establish an operational base for blockading China Southern Airlines and a forward base for launching the South Pacific War. This opened the most tragic chapter in Hainan's history.
.
According to incomplete statistics, during the six years since the fall of Hainan, the Japanese invaders killed more than 200,000 anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in Hainan, raped women, and looted countless people, property, and natural resources. There were countless abnormal deaths on the island.
There were more than 400,000 people in Hainan, accounting for one-sixth of the total population of Hainan at that time.
…
Zhou Weiguo looked at the telegram in his hand and sighed, has the time already come for Hainan to fall? He knew many things, but there was no way to stop it. The fall of Hainan was very fast because the Japanese did not encounter any decent resistance at all. First,
Because of the geographical location of Hainan, and secondly, because of the non-resistance of the defense forces.
Hainan fell, and Zhou Weiguo was confused again. He seemed to have no way to change the so-called general trend and history. Even at this time, he had established a foothold in Laiyang and even killed so many Japs. The Japs were still unparalleled in their ferocity on other battlefields in China.
, and the Chinese army is still retreating steadily.
Later, Zhou Weiguo figured out that at least now, the people in Laiyang, Laixi, Haiyang, and even the surrounding Qixia and Zhaoyuan areas no longer have to worry about the Japanese and no longer live under the iron hooves of the Japanese. What he can do
Right now, the goal is to protect the people in this area, and then continue to develop and expand, striving to include more people within the scope of protection.
"It seems that the formation of the navy needs to be accelerated!" Zhou Weiguo sighed and looked to the south. Over there, far away, many compatriots were suffering from disasters.
