Chapter 1033 Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces

Regarding the issue of steel production, Wang Xuexin has considered several options:
One is imported from Yingjiang or Maoxiong.

This is not impossible, especially if it is imported from Mao Xiong. At this time, Wang Xuexin and Mao Xiong still have an unfinished deal, and with a steel factory, there is a problem of several "high fire" or X1.

But Wang Xuexin was reluctant to do so.

What Wang Xuexin thinks is that Mao Xiong also lacks steel... During the war, everyone lacked this stuff, especially Mao Xiong was a big industrial country. During the war, every car, artillery, and tank had a much greater demand for steel than China. , which itself has to import steel from Yingjiang, it seems a bit difficult to ask Mao Xiong to support Huaxia Iron and Steel Plant.

This is still second, and more importantly, Wang Xuexin knows that Mao Xiong's most tragic battle also plays a decisive role: the defense of Stalingrad is about to break out.

In the Battle of Stalingrad, Mao Xiong and Hans were on equal footing, and they fought very hard with all their strength.

At this moment, forcibly poach a steel factory and talents from Mao Xiong... What if a chain reaction is caused and Mao Xiong's war situation develops in a different direction?
Wang Xuexin didn't want to take this risk. He thought that even if he wanted to change, he should take it easy and wait until the bear's Stalingrad battle was over.

But the steel on Huaxia's side has become a problem again.

Improve equipment to produce steel by yourself?

This cannot be accomplished overnight, and it belongs to the fact that the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst.

Occupy the production capacity of rifle steel?
How many rifle barrels must be sacrificed to produce a car engine? I'm afraid this is not a long-term solution.

Just when Wang Xuexin was having trouble with this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the map hanging on the wall...

It was a map of the Daqingshan base area in the north of Luliang Mountain. Since the Eighth Route Army's center of gravity will shift from Yuncheng to the north in the next stage, the implementation of the strategy of defending while fighting will divert the devil's attention to the north. Therefore, Wang Xuexin is here during this period. Study the terrain to the north.

In the past, he didn't pay attention because he had nothing to do with it, but now because he was thinking about the steel factory, he caught a glimpse of the Daqingshan Iron and Steel Factory set up by the devil in the east of Daqingshan.

This was due to the fact that the Eighth Route Army's control over the north was relatively weak. At this time, the north had only one detachment in the Daqingshan base area.

Not only devils are rampant in the Daqingshan area, but the forces of stubborn troops have also caused headaches for the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas.

This may make it hard to imagine how there is still a stubborn army in the north far away in the Daqingshan area.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the recalcitrant army also followed the example of the Eighth Route Army, hoping to establish its own forces in the enemy's rear to hold back the devils. Simply put, the recalcitrant army also had its own guerrillas.

The original intention of the stubborn army is good.

The Chongqing side thought very simply: If a poor and white army like the Eighth Route Army can make such a big move behind the devils to attack the devil's logistics supply line, then with the strength of the stubborn army, if it can also pull up an army behind the devils, even If necessary, we will join forces with the Eighth Route Army to hold back the devils... Will that reduce the pressure on the stubborn army's front line of defense?

However, this kind of stubborn army often backfires.

The reason is that the stubborn army does not know that the reason why the Eighth Route Army can deal such a big blow to the devils under the conditions of "one poor and one white" is that the Eighth Route Army is fighting the devils from the standpoint of the people and China, so it will win the support of the people. support.

As for the stubborn army, what they think of as "an army drawn by strength" is nothing more than bandits, hooligans, or militia armed forces of the landlord class bought with money and equipment.

These troops bought with money obviously do not have their own principles and beliefs, let alone truly fight against devils from the standpoint of the common people.

On the contrary, after they got the equipment from the recalcitrant army, they turned around and turned their guns on the common people... because it is obvious that beating the devils will kill them, but it is much easier to beat the common people to rob them of wealth.

As a result, the so-called guerrillas in the enemy's rear became the scourge of the common people.

For example, in the Daqingshan area, the guerrillas organized by the recalcitrant army were called the "People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army", and the common people nicknamed them "Tuan Tuanzi", but what they did under the banner of the Anti-Japanese War was the common people's work.

These troops, from the commander-in-chief down to the soldiers, did all kinds of evil, and the common people hated them.

To use a jingle made up by ordinary people, it is: "I have a monkey head (big pipe) in my arms, a whip head in my hand, and a rope head tucked in my waist. People eat dumplings and horses eat food, and no girls don't sleep!"

This army of tens of thousands of people is said to be the "Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army", but it is like locusts, looting everything wherever it goes, and it is more hateful than devils.

Wang Xuexin once felt strange before, how could the so-called "Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army" grow to tens of thousands in the Daqingshan area?
Isn't it easy for the devils to wipe out this so-called "anti-war team" of the mob?

Later, I realized that this was not an "anti-war team" at all. Not only was it not an anti-Japanese team, it was even a puppet of the devils.

From the very beginning, the Recalcitrant Army has had the policy of "to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside"... Although in the name of the Anti-Japanese War, they will not say it publicly, but they have never given up on this idea and practice in secret.

Therefore, the so-called "Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces" not only failed to fight the war, but instead encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

This is very much in the interests of the devils. At the same time, the devils never worried that the mob of the "Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army" would gain power, so they acquiesced in its existence, and even branded it as the so-called "co-prosperity sphere" every time they encircled and raided. The "Self-Defense Army" only fights the Eighth Route Army.

Over time, the two sides have a tacit understanding, and there are even many shady connections in the dark.

It is a kind of irony that a so-called "anti-war" force united with the devils to fight against the anti-Japanese armed forces.

Under such circumstances, the Daqingshan base area was once compressed into the barren mountains to survive in a very difficult environment, but the devils and the "Self-Defense Forces" controlled Daqingshan and wantonly plundered Daqingshan's resources.

The Daqingshan Iron and Steel Works is a sweatshop of the devils.

This factory went deep into the hinterland of Daqing Mountain and was built next to the iron mine... This is the arrangement made by the devils to save resources as much as possible:
The factory is built next to the iron ore, and the iron ore can be smelted into steel immediately, and then the steel can be transported out, which can save a lot of transportation capacity.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the devils to control such a large steel plant in the deep mountains, because it will always be harassed by guerrillas.

But because of the help of the "Self-Defense Forces", the devils no longer have this concern.

but……

This seems to be a good thing, because Wang Xuexin is now given a chance.
