The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Kong Jie's gaze focused on a point on the map, looking at the thumb-sized area shown on the map, and then thinking about the tragic battle that was about to break out here.

This contrast between fantasy and reality, magnificence and tragedy is breathtaking.

"Our plan to transfer the people of Licheng and create an empty city has officially started. It is carried out every night. In the past few nights, we have not missed a single night. We will secretly transfer tens of thousands of people to our base area every night."

"So far, the people who have been transferred are basically in the base of our first team! There are already more than [-] people."

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan described the situation.

Kong Jie nodded, and then asked again, "Is there any difficulty in receiving these people in our base area?"

Li Wenjie, the political commissar, answered the question. Li Wenjie, as Kong Jie's good helper, was responsible for the economic development and construction development of the base area.

As long as it is not a war, he is basically worried about other aspects.

Otherwise, how could Kong Jie be so chic as the shopkeeper?

"Brother, you have been busy directing the war for a while, maybe you haven't had time to pay attention to the development of our base area?

I'm not bragging, the current development of our base area, I can say that it is changing with each passing day, getting faster and faster day by day.

Let alone 10,000+ people, this time according to the plan of the headquarters, all the hundreds of thousands of people from Licheng and other five cities will be sent to our team. We may not be able to accept it.

And the arrival of these people, not only will not cause any burden on the construction and development of our base area, but will become a boost to promote the rapid development of our base area.

For this reason, Lao Xu and I were still thinking about whether we should go to the headquarters to apply specifically, and simply arrange all the people this time to our base area! "

As soon as these words came out, Kong Jie was stunned.

"Since when are we so confident in each team?"

Xu Guoan laughed and said, "Old Kong, old Kong, I'm afraid you don't even know how much money you have.

This old saying is indeed true, the snowball rolls bigger and bigger, the bigger the better it rolls, the bigger it rolls, the faster it rolls, and the more exaggerated it rolls.

The situation is really the case!

With the growth of our base area, the construction of our base area, the development of the economy, and the construction of the army really seem to be snowballing more and more rapidly.

Just like the current situation of our base area, we only talk about the area under the jurisdiction of the base area. Except for the suburbs and mountainous areas we used to have, the number of county towns is relatively small, but the number of townships is quite a bit, and they are all added together. There are hundreds of them.

Including the big and small, the area is huge.

Old Kong, you probably don’t know about this situation yet, do you? "

Kong Jie was indeed a little dumbfounded, "It's developing so fast?"

"Isn't it? Especially after the May [-]st raid by the Japanese army ended in a disastrous defeat, our various troops took the opportunity to expand outwards, and laid down a lot of towns in the base areas, even including some remote counties.

The little devil is now celebrating the New Year with Wang Xiaoer, and every year is not as good as every year.

After the failure of the May [-]st sweep, the elite main force of the devils suffered heavy losses, and there was basically no extra force to actively enter our base area to fight.

The devils seem to be retreating, but stationed in some major counties and towns, holding on to some important lines of communication. As for the rest of the area, large towns and remote counties, the little devils can't take care of them now.

So our base area may not have anything else now, but there is simply too much land to accommodate these hundreds of thousands of people.

Especially Xie Baoqing, during this period of time with his construction team, it was crazy. His team recruited a large number of migrant workers, but this was not enough. He directly arranged the team for several shifts, working day and night construction.

Since receiving the order from our detachment headquarters, this kid has been able to lead the construction team to pull out hundreds of houses in our base area almost every day.

Although they are all simple houses built of wood and stone structures, they are enough to settle immigrants and live temporarily. "

Xu Guoan introduced the situation.

Kong Jie nodded, feeling a little emotional in his heart, that kid Xie Baoqing has really become a genius now.

No wonder when we met last time, this old boy just paid a military salute and left in a hurry. Now he is a busy man!
After thinking about it, Kong Jie asked: "Then according to this model, make preparations in advance as soon as possible. After all the people have settled down, arrange for the people to start production as soon as possible. Once there are jobs and income, the people My heart is at ease.

We can't let the folks leave their hometowns and rush to our base area, but we don't even have a chance to make a living? "

Xu Guoan thought deeply and said: "The hearts of the people are simple and honest. When we transferred the people this time, the process was very smooth, and even many folks helped us to promote it.

The common people would rather leave their hometowns, take their wives and children with them, pull carts, and lead livestock, and they are willing to live in our Eighth Route Army base areas.

Some old people said it well!

It is better than anything to have the opportunity to go to the base of our own army construction, and no longer have to worry about living under the rule of the little devil! "

Kong Jie said: "Secrecy must be done well. This immigration movement is so big, once the devil finds out about the situation, it will not be realistic for us to use the empty city trick to lure the little devil here."

Xu Guoan said with a smile: "Probably we don't need to worry about it. This time, the old brigade commander will take the lead. I heard that Minister Li from Yan'an has come to participate in the guidance in person. He has almost used all the strength of all the intelligence departments of our Eighth Route Army. up.

We first divide the area into blocks, and use our radio directional detection technology to clear all the eyeliners and radio stations that the devils may have hidden in the area.

Then, during the transfer process, all the people divided their responsibilities and leaders, and there were basically no mistakes.

Even if there were really spies of the devil inside, he would never have the chance to leave the army and report the news.

After we let go of the management later, the battle in Licheng will be over long ago.

In addition, we all move at night and operate at night, including the construction of some fortifications in the city, which are also carried out at night.

There should be nothing wrong! "

Kong Jie was relieved, the intelligence chiefs had rushed to help, so what else was there to say.

Time passed quickly, and all plans were carried out step by step.

Not long after, news came out from Licheng that the Eighth Route Army had planned to hold a military parade in Licheng on August 8, the Army Day.

A large number of troops from the Eighth Route Army appeared in Licheng for inspection, not only that, but also Chief Yan, the commander of the Jinsui Army in the World War II area, came.

There was a lot of noise.

But in fact, this military parade was said to be held during the day, but it was actually a lie to the devil's air force to come to the air strike.

On the side of the Eighth Route Army, the electrical detection unit, the anti-aircraft artillery unit, and the fighter jets of the aviation team are ready to trick the devils.

During the daytime, group performers came to the scene—people with clean backgrounds and quick brains deliberately selected from the base area rushed to help, flocked to Licheng, deliberately made noise, and cheered for the Eighth Route Army's military parade.

The electric detective team secretly launched radio shielding. Even if the devils hide the spy team of the radio station, they will definitely extend their working hours under radio interference and try to change the frequency to contact the rear.

At this time, the radio reconnaissance unit will cooperate with the intelligence department to catch them all.

In the evening, when the light was not very good, some props such as traction vehicles made of wood specially made by the strategic camouflage department of a team officially entered the stage, and they were pulled into Licheng one after another under the hazy moonlight. .

It really looks like the cannons, chariots, etc. that were reviewed during the military parade the next day.

But in fact, the real guy has already secretly transferred.

What they are doing right now is just to deceive the sky and create the illusion that the heavy artillery troops of the Eighth Route Army are still stationed in Licheng.

The real mobile artillery unit has already sneaked across the Ping-Han line to Jizhong—Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei estimated that after the defeat of Licheng this time, Shanxi will stick to the last line of communication with the defeat of the Japanese army And key counties and towns, basically there is not much oil and water left.

That being the case, it is better to change places.

"In other places, like central Hebei and southern Hebei, the little devils in central Shandong and western Shandong are so rich! Can we bear this? We can't bear it!"

In the first team, the temporary joint headquarters of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, Kong Jie said so.

Not long ago, Kong Jie found Xu Qingnian, the Minister of Finance of a team responsible for the construction of the financial system, and the two had such a conversation.

Kong Jie: "How is the current financial system in our base area?"

Xu Qingnian: "Led by the headquarters, with remote guidance from Yan'an, our base of a team serves as a pioneering experimental base, and the construction of the financial system specially created for the base is now on the right track.

Old head, you also know a lot about this aspect. According to the establishment of the financial system, we must first consider a stability.

Today, based on local financial construction, we have our own banks, our own currency, and our own financial operating system, including some investments, loans, and so on.

While ensuring that its own financial system is independent, stable, and inclusive, it has been constantly trying to engage in a secret confrontation with the financial system of the Japanese army in enemy theaters.

The result... Hehe, the current situation is that, to give a vivid example, the devils issued a large number of daily tickets in the occupied area to rob our supplies, and threw them to the dogs, and the dogs didn't care.

Everyone panicked after wiping their butts!

Not to mention that we don't recognize it at all in our base area, even in the stable occupied area of ​​​​the devils, many little devils are not willing to use this kind of daily ticket, or even use the border area ticket issued by us openly.

Not to mention ordinary people, if someone wants to buy something with a day ticket, it will be unreasonable at all.

What do you recognize?
Recognize silver dollars, recognize French dollars, but the most favorite, most trusted, and most willing to save in the bank, that is the banknote issued by us!
Based on this point, the devils want to destroy our existing stable financial system, which is simply wishful thinking. "

Kong Jie nodded. He had a deep understanding of this matter, especially during the past six months, when he even had private business dealings with the little devils in the enemy's war zone, such as Kawashima and Miki Ichiro from Nayangquan.

Damn, these little devils don't even want daily tickets.

As soon as I opened my mouth, I said that I wanted border tickets from your Eighth Route Army. Only border tickets were recognized. Without border tickets, you absolutely cannot give supplies!

Hey, it's interesting now.

Kong Jie even heard that the head of the main frontline regiment bought a batch of ammunition from the devil’s security forces with money—border tickets issued by the Eighth Route Army. caliber artillery.

This made Kong Jie a little dumbfounded. When did the little devil become so blatantly "an enemy"?

But turning his head, Xu Qingnian said again: "Old leader, I have always agreed with a point of view you said before, the best way to defeat the enemy without fighting is to use the economy to crush the opponent.

Our enemies can't even get enough to eat, and we have all the food they want here, so what are they going to fight us with?

Right now, with the stable establishment of our financial system, coupled with the daily notes issued by the Japanese army to plunder materials, the financial system built by the Japanese army is rapidly collapsing. We can be said to have the upper hand in this economic war.

But the main area is still limited to Shanxi, especially the enemy-occupied areas around our base area.

After all, due to the inconvenient domestic transportation and the infrequent economic exchanges between regions, the circulation of currency is poor.

The scope of the economic war we are fighting is also spatial and restrictive.

If we want to expand our economic advantages to a larger area, and even spread to the entire North China, and even the entire Sino-Japanese battlefield, the development of the base area is still fundamental, and military strength is the core.

Only by going out of Taihang and Shanxi thoroughly, can the scope of our Eighth Route Army's financial system spread out smoothly. "

Therefore, Kong Jie proposed to take advantage of the battle surrounding Licheng to attract the attention of the Japanese army.

Take the opportunity to transfer some mobile elite troops and artillery units of a team to fight in areas outside Shanxi, further expand the results of the battle, and make full preparations in advance for the subsequent battle with the Japanese army.

……

……

Beiping, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front Army.

Okamura reckoned that he was not too far away from stepping down. Originally, he thought that this time would have ended in a disastrous defeat. After the May [-]st sweep was over, he focused on the security and stability of the existing stable occupied areas.

For a smooth transition, just hand over the big plate of the North China Front Army to the next commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army.

The commotion in Licheng has intensified.

Those rampant Eighth Route Army actually wanted to hold a military parade in Licheng. A large number of elite troops haunted Licheng, as well as heavy artillery troops and armored vehicle troops, all of which had to be inspected in Licheng.

You know, just a few days ago, Licheng was still in the territory of the Japanese army!

This is not taking him, Okamura, or the North China Front Army seriously.

This made Okamura more and more determined. Even if all the air forces of the Empire of Japan are assembled this time, Licheng, together with all the damned Chinese people and the Chinese army in Licheng, will be buried!
"Baga, damn it!" Okamura scolded angrily...
