Chapter 7: Rivers and Mountains (39)

Qianshan area, very stable, no Japanese army, no bandits, not even hear a gunshot, a peaceful scene, the common people may be afraid to listen to the gunshots, there is a red and white happy event do not dare to set off firecrackers, get some suona and forget it. The rainy season has passed, the rice in the fields is growing well, and if there are no accidents, it will be another good harvest year. In Qianshan City, the shops have opened, and all kinds of businesses have also made a fortune, and some businessmen from Anqing have talked about Anqing to everyone, which is very attractive.

Mo Di came to the city gate early in the morning to see Yang Kezhi off, he chose a Japanese adjutant knife as a gift, let Yang Kezhi transfer to General Gao Jingting, express his admiration, Yang Kezhi saw Mo Enemy this full of wounded soldiers, knew that in the battle of Huangmei the 1056 regiment was seriously damaged, he was also very difficult, and it was impossible to come up with anything good, this war knife is considered a heavy gift. He took the sword, thanked him solemnly, and turned to leave.

Last night, the two sides drank very happily and talked very speculatively, Mo Di told Yang Kezhi that in June, there was a big battle with the Japanese army in Shipai, and Shipai Town was also robbed by this, and it became dilapidated, and it was no longer able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the county seat, so it was better to move Huaining County from Shipai to Gaohebu, and the fourth detachment would send a brigade of partial divisions to take Huaining under control, collect some taxes and some grain, and it would be better than the current anarchy. Yang Kezhi nodded and said that they had already had this plan, and the Ninth Regiment had already sent a battalion into Zongyang to establish a base area. After the capture of Zongyang, the vast countryside along the Yangtze River from Pukou to Anqing was all in the hands of the New Fourth Army, and the Japanese army could only retreat to some larger towns and villages, and could not leave their homes. If he takes Huaining again, he will surround Anqing. Yang Kezhi also wanted to talk about the ownership of Huoshan, but Mo Di told him that now the Japanese Second Army has entered Lu'an, and the troops are divided into two routes, all the way through Huoshan and all the way through Lihuang. The Liushang Highway is a key logistical support line for the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will not give up Huoshan. Similarly, the 176th Division's exit from Yuexi through Huoshan to Lu'an was the only passage and must be kept unblocked. This place is estimated that Gui Jun will not let go. Therefore, it is better not to meddle in the four detachments of this place.

After sending Yang Kezhi away, Mo Di came to the most lively and prosperous street in the county, found a fried noodle shop to sit down, and asked people to serve a bowl of beef fried noodles. The beef fried noodles taste good, and the beef soup is even more sweet and delicious, which makes you have an appetite. After drinking the last drop of juice in the bowl, he was about to get up and leave, when he suddenly heard a voice not far away, following the reputation, it was two businessman-like people, it was estimated that they had not seen each other for a long time, and one of them invited the other guest. There were not many people in the noodle restaurant, Mo Di sat at one table by himself, and the two of them sat at another table, and they could hear their speech very clearly.

"Brother Zhang, are you really going to bring Anqing's Japanese goods to Qianshan to sell?" One person said: "You are not afraid that the people will call you a traitor!" ”

"Traitor? Hehe, a spy among the Han people. The person who was called Brother Zhang replied with a smile: "I am a Han, but not a spy, I am just dealing in Japanese goods, Lao Li, the hat you gave is a bit too big." ”

"Dealing in Japanese goods is to help the Japanese make money, isn't this a spy or what?" Lao Li said unconvinced.

"Then if I sell the mountain goods in the area of Qianshan Tianzhu to Anqing and sell them to the Japanese at a high price, will I earn the money back?" Brother Zhang said.

Hearing the words of this surnamed Zhang, Mo Di felt a little funny, and it was evident that the businessman forgot his righteousness when he saw profit.

"Do you know what kind of Japanese goods I'm selling?" The surnamed Zhang continued: "It is mainly agricultural tools such as shovels and pickaxes, as well as daily necessities such as nails and oil, and the largest amount is Japanese rayon. These things are in demand here, with good furniture, can promote our food production, with good supplies, can improve our living standards, with rayon accumulated foreign cloth, we don't have to wear this kind of old cotton clothes in summer, and go out much brighter. This is more about bringing benefits to our people, how can you become a traitor in your eyes! ”

The surnamed Li may feel that his previous words were a little too much, and he smiled and said: "Originally, I didn't know, but I knew that I boycotted foreign goods and Japanese goods a few years ago, so I equated selling foreign goods with traitors." ”

Mo Di didn't accept it and laughed secretly, himself, why not think like this.

"Have you eaten the melon basket seeds?" The surnamed Zhang took out a flat melon seed from his pocket, put it on the oily table, picked one up, stuffed it into his mouth, knocked it lightly, knocked it open, took the peeled seeds out of his mouth, and put them in the palm of his hand.

"Eaten!" The surnamed Li nodded, reached out and picked up a melon seed on the table, stuffed it into his mouth, spit out the seed shell, and gently chewed the seed flesh in his mouth: "It tastes good, it's a good melon basket seed, from Tianzhu Mountain, right?" ”

The surnamed Zhang nodded: "Do you know how much this thing sells for a pound in the farmhouses around Tianzhu Mountain?" ”

The surname Li thought for a while and said: "This thing is planted in the farmers in that area, called hanging melons, also called wild melons, and the seeds harvested every year are used by farmers for their own use. ”

"I'll take it!" The surname Zhang said: "I gave a good price, one pound of sea salt for five pounds of melon basket seeds, and I collected more than 2,000 pounds a day." Sent to Anqing, do business with the Japanese salt merchants, two catties of melon basket seeds for one catty of salt, and I earn a tip of three catties of salt. Then the salt was exchanged for leather goods in the mountains, and then sold to the Japanese, and exchanged for farm tools and rayon. I'm not afraid to tell you that now I have a caravan with more than eighty mules pulling goods alone. I came to you today, just to know that your home is in Longtan, I want to open a shop in your house, buy local goods, and exchange salt with tools and rayon, why don't you do it? ”

"!" The surname Li agreed.

Mo Di on the side also nodded, why don't you do such a good thing.

"Aren't you afraid that people will say you're a traitor?" The surnamed Zhang asked a rhetorical question, and the surname Li turned red.

Mo Di couldn't help but laugh.

returned to the headquarters and told the story to Huang Tianhua and Huang Degui, Huang Degui jumped up as soon as he heard it, and said: "Boss, you are really the boss, I was worried about the matter of the summer, and you will figure it out for me in a few words." Good! That's it. ”

"What are you doing, what are you doing?" Mo Di smiled.

"I've got a lot more people in my baggage camp." Huang Degui said: "There are more than 100 brothers who are seriously injured, even if they are cured, they can't go to the battlefield again, how to live the rest of their lives, I just told Tianhua about this." ”

Mo Di's face immediately darkened, this is a * annoyance, I have been fighting with the Japanese for almost a year, and the biggest loss is this time, forget about the dead, how much compensation the country gives is the country's business, and those who survive continue to fight, the difficulty is difficult in these half-dead, what should I do? I thought about handing it over to Xu Ping before, but now Xu Ping's pressure is not small, it can be solved once or twice, and in the long run, Xu Ping is not a shelter.

"I want to take the entire logistics center and baggage battalion to do the business you just said." Huang Degui's words seemed to explode a huge thunder in the air in the heads of Mo Di and Huang Tianhua, they are professional soldiers, they have never thought of such a thing, they have accumulated a certain foundation by smashing and robbing before, and now they can no longer smash and rob on their own territory, they should find a way to make money!

"Holy shit! Lao Huang, you really have it, this is a trick! Huang Tianhua shouted.

Mo Di also looked at Huang Degui with a bright face, he has a hidden mountain, it is estimated that he will not leave for a while and a half, instead of being bored here, it is really better to do some business, get a little money, he has money in his hand and a gun on his shoulder, who dares to get along with himself.

"I think we have to build another nest first, and then think about what Lao Huang said." Mo Di said.

Huang Tianhua and Huang Degui both looked at Mo Di, their own commander's leaping thinking, often made him unable to catch up, sometimes, his whimsical thinking, can make his subordinates unbearable, I don't know what new ideas he has this time.

"On the way from Yuexi, there is a small town called Shui Roar, where there are roads and water, the terrain is dangerous, the north can lead to Yuexi, and the south can reach Qianshan, we will make a stronghold there, put logistics and materials over, and the main force will stay in Qianshan, and deal with the Japanese here." Mo Di walked to the map, took out a ruler and measured it, and said unhurriedly: "The distance here is about fifty miles, and the highway can be opened to traffic, so it will be very convenient for us to find a way to get a few cars." I am also worried that sooner or later the Japanese will come to find trouble, and the so-called collapsed side will not allow others to sleep soundly. This place will become a war zone, and we must be prepared to be safe. ”

"Great, Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, we should also have a few more back roads." Huang Tianhua agreed.

Wei Zhigao's engineer battalion became the first choice to build a base in Shuihe Town, and his job was to build fortifications along the way, find a suitable mountain area in Shuiyao Town, and dig several huge air-raid shelters according to the mountain, not only to put supplies in, but also to hide people in it when Japanese planes bombed. At the same time, it is also necessary to renovate the road from the buried mountain to the water roar, so that the car can run at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour on the road, and strive to be able to travel from the hidden mountain to the water roar within an hour.

When the infrastructure of the water roar has a certain scale, the logistics center and the combat readiness hospital will be transferred. As for Huang Degui, he has already started business with his people.

In Qianshan County, there are many kinds of shops all at once, these shopkeepers speak with a southern accent, and operate a variety of different goods, including Guangxi's specialties and Guangdong's specialties, or materials from Nanyang and the East, and soon, Qianshan has become a large-scale market.

Mo Di is doing business in Qianshan, and on both sides of the Yangtze River, Jiangbei, Guangji, Jiangnan, and De'an are also fighting in full swing. Xue Yue in Jiangnan almost beat the Japanese 106th Division to pieces at Mahuiling in De'an, Jiangxi, and the Japanese offensive in Jiangnan came to a complete standstill. Although the 84th Army fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Guangji for six days and six nights, eliminating more than 6,000 Japanese troops, it could not stop the pace of the Japanese army's westward advance, and after the Japanese army occupied Guangji, it launched a powerful attack on Tianjiazhen with a three-dimensional camp composed of the air force, the army, and the navy.

The reason why Li Pinxian failed was because the second army of King Minoru of Dongjiuer Palace, which attacked from Lu'an, advanced too quickly, first transferred Yang Sen's department, blocked the second army's southward road to Huoshan at Heishidu, and then transferred out of Xuezhong's department to stick to Lu'an, and then let Xu Yuanquan's department cooperate with Sun Lian's third army to block the Japanese army's westward march to the mall and directly attack the road to Macheng at the north gate of Wuhan. As soon as he came and went, he scattered his forces a lot.

Under the bloody efforts of Sun Lianzhong and Xuezhong Yang Sen and Xu Yuanquan, the Japanese army was forced to divide their troops into two routes, one of which was the 13th and 16th Divisions continued to attack the mall, and the other was the 3rd and 10th Divisions from Zhengyang Pass, crossing the Dabie Mountains to Huangchuan, and going straight to Luoshan Xinyang.

In the face of the menacing Japanese army, the General Staff transferred Song Xilian's troops from Li Pinxian's Fourth Army Corps to delay the enemy in the vicinity of Fujin Mountain, and Zhang Zizhong's troops held Huangchuan. This trick drew the salary from the bottom of the kettle, and Li Pinxian was torn apart, like a poisonous snake that shook off the skeleton. The 173.174 Division was assigned to the 84th Army, and the 6th Division fought a fierce battle that lasted six days and nights in Guangji.

In Gushi Yejiaji Fujin Mountain, in the face of the 13th and 16th complete divisions, the 36th Division of the 71st Army of Song Xilian sniped the Japanese army at Fujin Mountain for ten days, wounding more than half of the enemy and losing more than 10,000 enemies. The 71st Army also suffered heavy casualties, from more than 10,000 people before the war to more than 800 people, Madame Chiang made a special trip to Fujin Mountain to offer condolences, and shed beautiful tears along the way.

At Huangchuan, the 3rd and 10th Divisions of the Japanese Army encountered a stronger resistance than Fujin Mountain, and Zhang Zizhong's troops faced a strong enemy and fought to the end. The Japanese army repelled several attacks by Zhang Zizhong, and it was absolutely inhumane to use large-scale poison gas bombs to attack, and sacrificed the loss of using the poison gas special forces as the vanguard to open the way. Under the blow of powerful poison gas warfare, Zhang Zizhong's troops, who had no anti-poison ability, had no choice but to withdraw from the defense line, and Huangchuan was lost. The 3rd Division of the Japanese Army took advantage of the situation to kill Luoshan, and Xinyang City appeared in front of it, and also met the number one main force of the old Jiang Yan's lineage, Hu Zongnan's First Army.

The frenzied attack of the second army of the second army of the king of Minoru in the north road of the eastern Kurenomiya made the invincible enemy who was far away in the hidden mountains also dumbfounded, such an uncontrolled use of poison gas bombs, did the Japanese want to exterminate the people on the land of China! Do you want to destroy the creatures of this land? Thinking of this, Mo Di let out a violent cough, and he felt palpitations at the poison gas bomb.
