Chapter 688: Heavy Codes in Troubled Times

Troubled times use heavy codes

Back to the long-lost headquarters, the huge war room, except for the necessary operational staff officers who came and went in a hurry. Only the political commissar and the chief of staff were left, sitting in their own places, and seemed to be discussing something fiercely.

Seeing Liu Hua who suddenly appeared at the door of the war room in front of them, the two of them were obviously stunned. However, in just a moment, there was a look of surprise on the faces of the two people. Then, political commissar Luo Ronghuan spoke first.

"Commander-in-chief, when did you come back, the matter of the armored corps has been dealt with, why don't you inform us...."

"Commander-in-Chief, that's what's wrong with you. Do you want to catch us off guard and see if we are lazy..."Zuo Quan also said with a smile on his face.

"Commissar, Chief of Staff, I've just arrived. So far, the armored corps, under the command of Comrade Su Yu, has slowly stepped onto the right track. I, the commander-in-chief, was not suitable for where I was, so I had to come back....what, has there been any major incident in the base area in this 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 chief of staff how to deal with these trivial matters so as not to cause a backlash from the common people in the base areas. Now that you're back, Commander-in-Chief, we're much more relaxed..."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan replied after a long sigh of relief.

Hearing the answer of the political commissar in front of him, Liu Hua's brows immediately wrinkled. After returning to his position, he asked the chief of staff in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, tell me a brief story about the specific development of the base area in the past month and the various things that have not yet been dealt with. It just so happens that all three of us are here, let's discuss it together..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."

"Since the beginning of the military confrontation between the enemy and our armies, the army units of the Kwantung Army have never launched even one military provocation against our base area, and the entire base area has finally ushered in an unprecedented calm. However, this calm did not last long, and it was interrupted by a large number of Japanese puppet army spies and Japanese expatriates in the base area..."

"For a month-long period, Japanese nationals still staying in the base areas, with the support of the Kwantung Army's secret services, launched 28 attacks on various government offices of our army and our party, inflicting huge losses on our army. At the same time, it has also greatly reduced the prestige that our army has just erected in front of the common people. ”

Of course, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that most of these Japanese expatriates already exist in the form of agricultural reclamation groups. Over the course of several decades, more than two-thirds of the land in the base area fell into the hands of these reclamation groups. However, in the hands of the soldiers and civilians in my base area, there is only a little insignificant land. Therefore, this obstruction alone has greatly slowed down the speed at which our party and government organs have established a government at the grassroots level in the base areas..."

"It's a little devil again... It seems that if our Northeast Field Army doesn't give the little devil a little ruthlessness, the little devil won't know how to be afraid...."After a series of reports, Liu Hua's frowning brows deepened. Clenched his fists and scolded 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 on this issue, I and the political commissar had a little disagreement. The political commissar meant: to reflect the policy of the party, but also for the stability of the entire base area. Only those Japanese nationals who have made a mistake are arrested and tried. If the crime is big, it will be shot directly, and if the crime is not serious, it will be handed over to the logistics department and let them serve a certain amount of labor in the base area....In the end, adopt a relaxed attitude and solve these problems step by step...."

"As for my thoughts, they are a bit out of line with the discipline of our army...."

Seeing the chief of staff of Zuo Quan who was embarrassed in front of him, Liu Hua said with an encouraging face.

"Chief of Staff, now we are only discussing, not implementing. If you have anything to say, just say it, don't scruples..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. I mean, for better or for worse, it's one size fits all. As for these expatriates, regardless of whether they have committed crimes or not, as long as they are all expatriates located within the scope of our base area, they will be arrested. The land seized by these Japanese expatriates should be returned to the hands of the common people, and the enthusiasm of the common people in the base areas should be enhanced. At the same time, after all Japanese nationals are arrested, it will be possible to prevent future troubles and turn the entire base area into a real logistics base for our Northeast Field Army....",

After answering, the eyes of political commissar Luo Ronghuan and chief of staff Zuo Quan once again converged on the eyes of Liu Hua in front of him, Liu Hua knew that he had buried an idea in his heart for several months, and at this moment, it should also surface. Thinking of this, Liu Hua replied decisively.

"Political commissar, chief of staff, as the so-called troubled times use heavy codes....Now we have to face not only the resistance of the local Japanese expatriates at any time, but also the pressure of the common people in the base areas. After all, the land in the hands of the little devils was plundered from them. So, my opinion is biased in favor of the Chief of Staff. I believe that after the chaos can we be brought to justice, as long as we can make up our minds to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. The hearts of the people in the entire base area will surely be twisted into a rope because of our decision today, and in the end, they will be tightly around us....0"

In the entire Northeast Field Army, it can be said that Liu Hua's influence is no better than anyone else's. As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, political commissar Luo Ronghuan decisively gave up the idea in his heart. Then, facing the commander-in-chief Liu Hua in front of him, he asked with a worried face.

"Commander-in-Chief, what are you going to do. According to our statistics, the total number of Japanese expatriates in the entire Liaoning region has reached a staggering 600,000. According to the proportion of the population, among the more than 600,000 bridge residents, there are at least 150,000 young adults. And almost all of these expatriates have some weapons of self-preservation. If we don't handle it well, it is likely to provoke a strong revolt from these diaspora..."

Regarding the concern of political commissar Luo Ronghuan, Liu Hua waved his hand and replied mercilessly.

"The revolt is certain, after decades of operation, in the eyes of these little devil diaspora, these lands have become their private property. We want to take their hearts and flesh from their hands, and it is absolutely impossible not to resist..."

"However, we can't be afraid because of the little devil's resistance. After all, the hundreds of thousands of imp expatriates who stay in the base area are like a cancer growing in our hearts. If we can't cut it out, this cancer could kill us at any time. Besides, compared with the entire base area and more than 10 million people, these hundreds of thousands of expatriates are nothing at all..."

"Commander-in-chief, since you have made a decision, please give an order...."After saying this, the political commissar who was still a little hesitant just now. At this moment, there was no longer any hesitation on his face, but instead there was a resolute face.

His opinions were affirmed and supported by the two partners, and the frowning brows on Liu Hua's face slowly relaxed. Under the expectant gaze of the two partners, Liu Hua spoke.

"Resolving the more than 600,000 imp expatriates in the base area is urgent for our development. However, the concerns of the commissar just now are not unreasonable. I mean, the whole resolution process is a two-step process. In this way, I will first express my thoughts, and after a concrete discussion by the three of us, I will make a final decision. Commissar, Chief of Staff, what do you think? ”

"I agree....""I agree...."

"Good.... My advisor, we're going to do it in two steps. The first step is to solve all the young adults of the bridge people. In the name of supporting the anti-Japanese war, all young and middle-aged people in the overseas Chinese were conscripted into the army. After all, now that they are under my jurisdiction, they must be consistent with our party's existing policies. Only in this way can the dissatisfaction of the Japanese expatriates in the base area be reduced at the very least..."Liu Hua said with a wicked smile on his face.

"Arrest the strong men....Commander-in-chief, do you want these little devil expatriates to help us fight the Kwantung Army...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked rhetorically with an incredulous face.

"Commissar, I want to too... However, I believe that if we train them to become soldiers in time, they will not listen to our command..."In response to the political commissar's rhetorical question, Liu Hua shook his head with a smile and said.

"These diasporas are not of my use, and they are fighting. However, build a road, build a railway. Or help us reclaim the land, dig and mine... It's always okay to make your own contribution to the construction of my base. These people are all free labor...."

Seeing that both of them nodded thoughtfully, Liu Hua continued...

"After the first step was completed, our local government, the local task force, with the cooperation of the local forces, began to forcibly confiscate the land of these expatriates. Then it was re-measured, and according to the head, it was put back into the hands of the common people....Of course, if nothing else, in the process of confiscating the land, it would certainly cause the strongest resistance from the expatriates. At that time, the local governments and troops should not be polite to me, and all the overseas Chinese in the base area will be arrested, sent out of the base area, and handed over to the Kwantung Army for a headache...",

"Profiteers... Commander-in-chief, I have to say, you are a big profiteer..."Liu Hua's voice just fell. The two political commissars and chief of staff, as if they had discussed it, commented in unison.

Seeing the commander-in-chief in front of him, under the evaluation of the two, he still sat there with a blushing face and a heartbeat. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said helplessly: "Commander-in-chief, you are trying to squeeze out the little devil expatriates who have been operating in my base for decades at one time..."

"Commissar, thank you for the reminder. When expelling the little devil expatriates out of the country, in addition to the necessary dry food and clothing. All assets of these expatriates were confiscated and turned over to the governments of the base areas in accordance with wartime regulations. These money and materials will be used as military expenses for the future construction of our base areas and the War of Resistance Against Japan. ”

After more than a month of propaganda in the huge base area, the people at the lowest level in the base area finally came to their senses. Now they are no longer slaves under the rule of the Japanese Kwantung Army. However, as the people at the bottom, the land, without exception, is their son...

Under decades of Japanese rule, the land that the older generation had worked so hard to pass on to them, because of the arrival of the Japanese, as long as it was good land, without exception, all went into the hands of the Japanese Reclamation Group. In the hands of ordinary Chinese people, there is only a small amount of slope land, which is not enough to maintain their own lives.

In a small village about fifty kilometers away from Fengtian City, the common people, as usual, came to the little slope left by the little devil early, and began to tend to the crops they had worked so hard to plant. Looking forward to his harvest in a year's time, he will be able to fill his family's stomach.

"Huzi, you say, when will our family have a piece of land on the plain... I've heard that the yield of a piece of land under the mountain is more than twice as much as ours..."Looking at the fertile fields at the foot of the mountain, which had been seized by the Japanese expatriates, a middle-aged woman, playing with the slope under her feet, said over and over again...

Under the reminder of the middle-aged woman, the beard also glanced at the land at the foot of the mountain with bright eyes. Then, he said with an affirmative face: "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 leading team." Even the little devils in Fengtian City were driven away. If nothing else, the little devils in our tun will be driven away sooner or later. Comrade Wang also said that when the time comes, all the land that the little devils have snatched will be redistributed to us..."

As he spoke, not far from the road, about a company, troops in khaki military uniforms, appeared in the eyes of the two. Under the gaze of all the villagers on the slope, a company of troops quickly rushed towards the tunzi not far away...

"Sister-in-law, you can see what I say, the troops on the road are the Northeast Field Army led by them, and they must have gone to Tunzi to deal with the little devils in Tunzi. Let's take a look... Look at how these arrogant little devils can be arrogant in front of the troops..."As he spoke, a group of villagers followed behind the team under the leadership of Huzi and rushed back to Tunzi.

And just when everyone arrived at the entrance of the village, a chaotic situation appeared in front of everyone.

Groups of soldiers, under the leadership of the comrades of the working group in the village, were arresting people from house to house in the areas where the little devils lived abroad. In less than half an hour, the entire farming regiment, more than 60 young people and middle-aged people, were all gathered together. Of course, all kinds of weapons and ammunition hidden by the little devils at home were also looted by the soldiers...

Seeing the scene in front of him, Huzi, as the village head, had to bite the bullet and appeared in front of the team leader Wang Donggui, who lived in the village, at the instigation of the villagers behind him.

"Comrade Wang, this is..."

"It's a tiger... The situation is like this, according to the study and decision of the supreme commander of our Northeast Field Army, because these little devils, relying on the support of the Kwantung Army behind them, have been bullying and oppressing the people on Chinese soil, and they have done all kinds of evil. However, in the spirit of saving people to the end, the headquarters decided to recruit all these young and middle-aged people into the army to build roads and open up wasteland for everyone...... After he behaves well in the future, he will be sent back to China..."Wang Donggui replied without concealment.

"That's right..."

Originally, I thought that the troops would drive away all the cabinets in the village, and then return the land stolen by the little devils to everyone's hands. Hearing Wang Donggui's answer in front of him, he couldn't help but say with a disappointed face. ,

As the leader of the task force, Wang Donggui, of course, saw at a glance a little caution in Huzi's psychology. Then, he whispered to the disappointed tiger beside him.

"Huzi, don't worry, the land in the village will return to your hands sooner or later. According to the order of the chief, the conscription of these young men into the army is only the first step. Next, the army will send the little devils, women and children back to China. However, it will take a little time in between... Now, all the young adults, along with their weapons and ammunition, have been taken away by the troops, and I will give you a task, how about it, do you have the confidence to complete it..."

Hearing that the land that was robbed by the little devils can be returned to their own hands. The look of disappointment on Huzi's face was immediately enveloped by a thick smile. Immediately after, facing Wang Donggui in front of him, he assured with a confident face.

"Please rest assured, Comrade Wang, 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 adults in the tunzi, take turns to sentry, watch the remaining little devils, women and children in the village, and can't let them escape. When the time comes, I will leave a squad of fighters to assist you. How about it, do you have the confidence to complete this task..."Looking at the simple tiger in front of him, Wang Donggui ordered with a smile on his face.

"Please rest assured, Comrade Wang, I promise to complete the task..."

A few days later, under the expectation of all the people in Tunzi, another company appeared in Tunzi. And in this operation, the entire Tunzi, the remaining more than 100 little devils, women and children, without exception, were all taken away. As for the finances they have looted for decades, there have been no surprises, all of them have been confiscated...

And in the whole Tunzi, because of the departure of the devil expatriates, when the Tun was celebrating, another 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 land occupied by the little devils in Tunzili. Then, according to the population, it is redistributed to each household......
