Fujino ordered Gu Feihu's men to take off the clothes of the Imperial Army in the forest, but this was far from enough. Only more than thirty Japanese soldiers put on their clothes. He himself did not care about the majesty of the Imperial Army. He did not want to fall behind.
In Su Yuan's hands, he also found a set of clothes to change into. Obviously there were no clothes suitable for him. His short and fat figure could not button the upper body buttons after putting them on, and his trousers were still on the ground and were stepped on. In the end, he had to
I just had to put on a pair of leggings to be able to walk.
He had a fairly clear understanding of the policies of the Eighth Route Army and some understanding of Su Yuan's character, so he ordered people to make some stretchers to carry the wounded. He was taking a gamble and even ordered the Japanese in disguise to put down their weapons, hoping that Su Yuan would not
They would attack the wounded they pretended to be and the men who were transporting them. As expected, Su Yuan let them go. Although he met another team later, fortunately, he also let them go after Gu Feihu negotiated and pleaded.
The gunfire gradually became fiercer, but he couldn't care less. Finally, they fled back to Ancheng in embarrassment.
Fujino, who had returned from a disastrous defeat, no longer dared to go out easily. For this reason, he ordered all the troops to shrink and used various strongholds to resist, barely stabilizing the situation around Anjo.
In order to guard against the attack of Su Yuan's troops, he asked for support from above and at the same time contacted the Japanese and puppet forces in surrounding counties. In order to defend and protect southbound traffic, he adopted a defensive posture.
In the counties surrounding Ancheng, watchtowers and fortresses were built starting from the Yellow River along the Taihang Mountains in the south. Each stronghold was contacted by telephone, and the strongholds were built along the highway, which facilitated rapid mutual support. At the same time, Fujino ordered people to dig a deep road along the stronghold.
Fujino wanted to use the wide blockade ditch to control Su Yuan's guerrillas from developing into the plains. Furthermore, he used this method to cut off material exchanges between the mountains and the plains, so he ordered each stronghold to never allow the transportation of food, oil and other materials.
When entering the mountains, things from the mountains are not allowed to be transported out.
Fujino's plan was indeed vicious. For this reason, he arrested many civilians to build fortresses and strongholds. At the same time, he cleared the villages along the blockade ditch and inflicted great persecution on the local people.
Since the Japanese had strengthened the alliance between counties and the strongholds were not suitable for capture, Su Yuan had to temporarily stop his plan to develop into the plains.
The failure of the offensive made Su Yuan realize that although his army was developing rapidly, it had not yet established a regular force. After all, the composition of the army was very complex, and it was necessary to transform the army into a well-trained and standardized force in order to achieve success.
In the future, we can break the enemy's blockade.
For this reason, Su Yuan asked Chun Lei to report the situation here to the military region, hoping that the superiors could send a group of military and political cadres, not only for the development of the army, but also for the establishment of local government in the newly established base area and the promotion of the Eighth Route Army's policies.
During this period of time, Su Yuan and others began military training. Su Yuan saw that except for the company of the Eighth Route Army and Wang Jianmin's company, the combat qualities of the other units were not very high, and the recruits were relatively weak.
Many troops are developing rapidly, but their combat effectiveness has declined. This situation must be changed.
Su Yuan, Li Zhuang and others formulated a strict military training plan, and the troops quickly developed. However, the base area encountered new problems. First, the establishment of local political power. Before the military region sent cadres, there could only be
Chunlei Baoguo went to carry out the task, but he was too busy. In the end, Su Yuan had to transfer cadres from the Eighth Route Army company from the main force to deal with it.
These things can still be managed, but the lives of people in the mountains have encountered difficulties. Due to the Japanese blockade, specialties from the mountains cannot be transported out, and necessities such as grain and salt needed in the mountains cannot be transported. The lives of ordinary people have gradually become difficult.
As a people's army, it must solve the people's difficulties. To this end, Su Yuan asked his father to set up a cooperative in Sujia Village to purchase the goods from the people. But the next step was to transport these things out and exchange them for what was needed.
s things.
It is not enough to just rely on economy and resolutely stop waste. Everything must be done with your own hands. In order to reduce the burden on the people in the mountainous areas, Su Yuan ordered the troops to start doing it themselves, and at the same time led the people in the base area to open up wasteland and cultivate land and start to benefit the mountains.
The development of animal husbandry.
It is necessary to establish contact with the plain areas for material exchange, because there are still many things that cannot be solved in the mountains. Not to mention medicine and food, salt alone is indispensable. The soldiers are weak due to lack of salt, so how can they fight!
Su Yuan decided to go to Pingyuan to establish a communication line, hoping to complete the flow of materials through his father's former business partners. To this end, he took Hong Hai with him.
In addition, Qingran also went with him. According to Qingran's suggestion, she used to work as a reporter and met many pseudo-officials and businessmen in enemy-occupied areas. These people only valued money and hoped to use them to sell the special products in the mountains.
Sell them out and buy back the supplies needed in the mountains through them.
It was not suitable to go to Ancheng, so the three of them went to Yangcheng in the north. Sure enough, the pseudo-county magistrate and businessmen of Yangcheng introduced by Qingran found it profitable, especially when Qingran introduced Su Yuan as her husband, which made them also interested.
Don't worry, in fact they don't care who the other party is, as long as they can hide it from the Japanese, they can even provide guns and ammunition.
Mainly the traffic along the road can be easily solved on both sides, mainly the strongholds on the blockade. The puppet county magistrate provided Su Yuan with a list of puppet army leaders guarding several strongholds, hoping that he could bribe them and exert some influence on his own side.
The puppet soldiers were just trying to make ends meet. With the letter of introduction from the county magistrate and the white ocean in front of them, the puppet soldiers guarding the blockade immediately agreed that the goods could pass.
However, these passages have some disadvantages, that is, they are relatively remote, and the main passages are often guarded by Japanese soldiers, which is not easy to solve.
With the blockade, there are opportunities to make money, and the benefits increase with the increase in risks. Some people with connections are naturally unwilling to let this opportunity pass. Su Yuan never expected that Japanese businessmen would come to visit him in person.
Come.
Su Yuan appeared in Yangcheng as a businessman, and he was able to purchase special products from the mountains. Ono, a Japanese businessman here, saw the benefits and took the initiative to visit and express his willingness to cooperate.
"You can't do business with the Japanese!" Qingran expressed her objection in private.
"What's the point? We have already done business with traitors." Su Yuanze said: "Besides, this is for the needs of the mountains. With Xiaoye, our road will be wider."
Seeing that Qingran was a little unhappy, Su Yuan smiled and said: "It's okay. The credit is all yours. As for anything that happens in the future, it will be my responsibility."
"That's not what I meant." Qingran said immediately: "I am willing to bear this responsibility with you."
"That's good, it's settled." Su Yuan said.
Sure enough, with Ono responsible for purchasing the materials they needed, some strategic materials could also be obtained. Not only food, oil and salt, but also medicine, batteries, gasoline and even guns and ammunition. Su Yuan could also obtain them smoothly.
Transported back to the mountains, at the same time, local specialties such as walnuts, peppers, wool, etc. were also transported out smoothly.
