At 8:30 in the morning, after An Yi went to work, he immediately found two intelligence officers, Du Yi and Xu Yichen, to inquire about the recent situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the Northwest.
Du Yi didn't expect An Yi to ask about this, but fortunately he had been keeping a tight grip on this piece of information and was personally responsible for every detail, so he picked it up without thinking:
"Since Huang Han and Li Xiaolong were ordered to form the Ganqingning Military Region of the Eighth Route Army in March, in early April, Huang Han led the main generals of the original Red 20 Army to cross the Yellow River north and near Gulang City, they were captured by the Soviet Red Army and the Xinjiang Shengshicai Department Allied Forces.
Nearly 3,000 former Red Army West Route Army soldiers who were rescued gathered together.
"Due to the continuous operations of the coalition forces before, relying on their strong armed forces and mobile combat capabilities that were not inferior to those of the Three Horsemen, and with the help of aerial reconnaissance aircraft, they adopted tactics of avoiding the real and attacking the fictitious, basically destroying the rule of the Three Horsemen of the Northwest in the Hexi Corridor.
Based on this, coupled with the Japanese army's four-month attack on Ningxia City (today's Yinchuan), Ningxia Ma
Hongkui's "Anning Army" had no time to take care of the Hexi Corridor. At the same time, Ma Bufang's "Ning Navy" was busy dealing with the attacks of the coalition forces entering Qinghai. The construction of Huang Han's base area went very smoothly. By the beginning of July, the Eighth Route Army's Ganqing-Ning Military Region had already started from Yumen in the north.
, an anti-Japanese democratic regime was established on tens of thousands of square kilometers of land as far south as Gulang.
"During this period, Li Xiaolong and Shi Pufang relied on their good cooperative relationship with us and borrowed 200 million yuan from us to purchase the Zhongzheng Type II model, using the petroleum, coal, iron and agricultural products abundant in the Gansu-Qingning-Ningxia region as guarantees.
Five thousand semi-automatic rifles
, 50 20mm anti-aircraft guns and 37mm anti-aircraft guns each, 500 50mm mortars, 200 60mm mortars, 50 August 1st mortars, and 20 120mm mortars, and purchased
A total of 200,000 rounds of various types of artillery shells..."
"We must strongly support the ability to seize territory from the three northwest horses who only know how to bully the common people and only care about their own enjoyment, and use supplies to fight against Japan, but -" An Yi interrupted Du Yi with some confusion.
: "With 200 million yuan, it's impossible to order just this few weapons, right?"
Du Yi smiled: "They also introduced supporting factories that can produce these weapons and ammunition, including infantry ammunition factory, artillery shell factory, steel shell factory, fuse factory, artillery factory, gunpowder and explosives factory, detonator and primer factory, Huang
Copper plants, coking plants, iron plants, steel plants, rolling mills and other ancillary factories, it can be said that a complete military industry system has been taken away!"
An Yi couldn't help but laugh: "I knew that this guy Li Xiaolong has a vicious vision, and with Shi Pufang's suggestions, he will definitely keep an eye on our industrial system. To establish a solid base, we can only rely on outsourcing.
Weapons and ammunition are not acceptable. We must produce them ourselves. Isn’t that what we did back then? Have the materials been handed over?"
Du Yi said: "The arms were delivered via airship as early as early May, and the supporting factories were all handed over at the end of last month. Our staff are helping with installation and debugging. For this, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent a special message to express our gratitude!"
"grateful!?"
An Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "They are obviously causing trouble for us... If the principal finds out about this, he will definitely feel resentful."
Xu Yichen on the side confirmed An Yi's judgment: "Since the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China used clear code to send reports, Nanjing received the news immediately. Chief of General Staff He immediately met with Chairman Chiang and heard that the principal dropped a cup at that time.
.....”
An Yi frowned, and then said calmly: "This is a normal transaction, and no one can do anything to us. Aren't we cooperating with the Nanjing government to develop tungsten mines, copper mines and other mineral deposits and oil? The purpose is to better fight the Japanese.
, How can we distinguish between each other? I heard that the Nationalist Government is holding a meeting to discuss stopping the payment of military pay to the Eighth Route Army fighting across war zones. It wants the horses to run well but also wants the horses not to eat grass. How can there be such a good thing? "
Xu Yichen nodded: "The situation of the Eighth Route Army is a bit bad now. In 1938, the Eighth Route Army went deep behind enemy lines and has pushed the front to northern Shanxi, Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe, Jidong, and Jizhong. The Japanese army
The response was extremely ingenious. They used a large number of Javanese, Sundanese, Batak, Minangkabau and other native Lanyin people who migrated from the Lanyin Islands as the backbone of their rule. In every village and town in North China, according to a certain ratio
For example, these Lanyin indigenous people were arranged to divide their fields and land, and Islamic churches were built in villages and towns, and they were given better treatment. These Lanyin indigenous people who had left their hometowns had no language, different beliefs, and different living customs from our people, so they could only
Relying on the Japanese colonial authorities, they wreak havoc everywhere, and according to regulations, these people are targets of the united front... Now the situation of the Eighth Route Army in various base areas in North China is not particularly good!"
An Yi was a little surprised: "Talk about united front with those indigenous people? This is too difficult! How many indigenous people have Japan immigrated to North China so far?"
"About 20 million!" Xu Yichen said: "There are also a large number of Lanyin indigenous immigrants not only in North China, Northeast China, but also North Korea. Recently, they have begun to transport them to the coastal areas of the Far East. The intention of adding sand is obvious!"
An Yi thought for a moment and felt that Little Japan's move was sinister enough.
Imagine that more than half of a village is made up of lazy Lanyin people. Whether they are working or growing food, they are not as good as the hard-working Chinese. What else can they do besides surrendering to the Japanese masters and selling information in exchange for food and clothing that can sustain their survival?
Moreover, these unfamiliar Lanyin people will definitely form a group to protect themselves, which further aggravates the conflicts in North China.
"So, it is very difficult for the Eighth Route Army to build anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines..." An Yi said thoughtfully.
Xu Yichen said: "It is very difficult. On the contrary, the New Fourth Army in the Shandong Peninsula has a good momentum of development. Since there are no Lanyin indigenous immigrants in the area, and the Japanese invaders are busy fighting and have weak local control, anti-Japanese base areas have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Moreover, the New Fourth Army also built a large number of anti-Japanese democratic regimes in northern Jiangsu, southern Shandong, northern Anhui, and southwestern Henan, where the national army seriously disturbed the people, to protect the people and industry and commerce, and often clashed with warlords who went to the countryside to grab food."
"As far as I know, the central army's military discipline is still strict at the moment, but those local armies dare not compliment them!" Du Yi on the side sighed: "Those warlords think they are on the front line of the anti-Japanese war, and they deserve credit for their hard work, and the people should behave accordingly.
Welcome, spend all your wealth to let it fish and meat. I heard many
There were riots in various places where the people could not bear the exploitation. The Japanese army took advantage of these opportunities and advanced several times to the Longhai Railway. Although they were eventually driven back, the casualties and impact caused were great. The Military and Political Department and the Theater Command
Although I have given instructions several times, it has not had much effect."
An Yi frowned slightly: "It's a pity that our army is stretched thin now, otherwise the main force of the Japanese army is deep in Siberia, which would be a great opportunity to regain Shandong."
Xu Yichen shook his head: "Even if we want to take the initiative to go to war, Chairman Chiang will not allow it. Now that An Jiajun is famous, Nanjing has tried its best to avoid publicizing and reporting on An Jiajun's achievements. For all the news that happened in South China, Mongolia, the Far East and other places
They all carried out a blockade and did not even mention the Anjia army's battle with the Japanese army in Siberia. If it were not for our Syrian radio station covering the whole country, I am afraid the people would have forgotten our existence."
"No way, this is the real-life version of shooting out forest birds!" Du Yi smiled faintly: "According to the strength shown by the Anjia Army in the Central Asian battlefield, it is estimated that Nanjing and various warlords have been greatly stimulated, and it will have a great impact on us.
The alert has invisibly deepened, so if they heard that we were going to use troops in the country, it would be strange not to raise a group to oppose it!"
An Yi waved his hand: "That's all, let's not talk about this and continue the topic just now. Has the Huang Han Department made any moves recently?"
"have!"
Du Yi sorted out his thoughts for a while and continued to report: "Ma Bufang's 'Ning Haijun' is also known as 'Qingma', and Ma Hongkui's 'Anning Army' is also known as 'Ningma'. These two units have always believed that 'if you have soldiers, you have power.
The creed of "having power means money" takes "capturing soldiers" as the primary condition for its own existence and development, and uses various methods and opportunities to
will expand the army. In 1934, Ma Bufang changed the recruitment of troops to compulsory recruitment in Qinghai. He went door-to-door in various counties to recruit soldiers, which was called "bamending". Later, the "Ningma" also began to follow suit. The people in Gansu, Qinghai and Ningxia could not bear the dispatch of troops by the Ma Jiajun.
, distribution of grain and distribution of grass, the conflicts were extremely acute, and riots often occurred, which brought opportunities for the development of the Huanghan tribe.
"After the Yellow and Han Dynasty entered the Hexi Corridor to create a base, in response to the actual situation, they promulgated 'reduction and exemption of commercial taxes and land rents, crackdowns on reactionary landlords and herdsmen, abolition of exorbitant taxes and military dispatch systems, five-year tax exemption for reclamation of wasteland, and help the people build water storage cellars for free' etc.
The policy won unanimous praise from the people. In just a few months, the Huang-Han Department has expanded to 20,000 people, and the base area has also grown rapidly."
"How did they deal with the Ma Jiajun's elusive cavalry attack? I remember that the Red Army failed in the Western Expedition and suffered because of its inability to deal with the cavalry!" An Yi asked.
Du Yi explained in detail: "The Huang Han tribe received 10,000 war horses from Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang. In addition, the Soviet army helped arm an armored regiment, which greatly increased its mobility. Later, in the 'Qingma' and 'Ningma'
There are checkpoints all over the hills that must be passed by troops. When traces of the cavalry are discovered, beacon fires will be lit immediately to give early warning; before the Ma Jiajun enters the base area, they will be attacked at least three times.
Against the shelling harassment of five groups of cavalry, our 50-caliber smoothbore mortar weighs only 4.5 kilograms without the launch base and can fire 25 to 28 rounds per minute.
During the battle, the Ma's cavalry suffered a large number of casualties; when the Ma's army finally broke into the base area, what awaited them was the infantry that had already assembled, and there was no other way but to escape."
An Yi's eyes lit up: "This Huang Han really understands the essence of mobile warfare! As expected of being a teacher at the Anti-Japanese University for several years, he is even more powerful than before!"
Du Yi smiled and said: "Chairman, your Huangpu Junior Brother will only become more and more powerful. I'm afraid the Chairman doesn't know yet. After Sheng Shicai was coerced to send troops to Central Asia, the number of troops stranded in Qinghai, Gansu and other places reached one division.
The cavalry unit has been handed over to the command of Huang Han. Li Xiaolong has now taken over the factories and enterprises aided by the Soviet Union in Dihua, Xinjiang. The entire Xinjiang has become the CCP's rear area."
Xu Yichen suddenly realized: "No wonder...Chairman Chiang appointed Liu Zhi as chairman of Xinjiang Province late last month, but Dihua sent a murderous welcome message in the name of Sheng Shicai, saying that the new chairman was in Xinjiang
There is no guarantee for the safety of his personal property. Liu Zhi flew to Xi'an a few days ago and asked General Gu Zhutong to send troops to accompany him into Xinjiang."
"Is that pig coming back?"
An Yi couldn't help but smile: "Brother Mo would not be so unwise. Huang Han controlled the Hexi Corridor, which was equivalent to putting a lock on the door of Xinjiang. Liu Zhi could only stare at the throne of Xinjiang Provincial Chairman and drool.
!”
Xu Yichen suddenly said: "The Chinese Communist Party is purchasing grain and livestock on a large scale in Dihua and the northern and southern regions of Xinjiang. It also ordered a lot of peppers and cloth from our Syrian government at high prices. I wonder if it is to cope with the possible attack by the Central Army?"
"Buying grain, peppers, and cloth?"
An idea flashed in An Yi's mind, and he quickly asked his staff to send him a large picture of the Xinjiang region. After hanging it on the wall, he carefully observed the terrain of southern Xinjiang, and gave a final sigh:
"Now I finally understand where those heavy artillery pieces from Almaty are!"
