Chapter 426: Suggestions for the Reform of the Loyal Rescue Army

This period of time was the most peaceful time for Bian Ji.

The only pity is that he is now branded as a traitor.

But when I think about the comrades at the base who received equipment worth hundreds of thousands or nearly two hundred thousand dollars, what does this little bit of infamy matter?
As a "traitor" who knew Zhang Anping's identity, Bian Jike felt like he was being cut by a knife during this period.

It really broadened my horizons!
The Japanese were truly able to make things happen with a wave of their hands. They carried out a large-scale arrest, but in the end not only did they fail to achieve their goal, but they were also cursed by the world. Although they received 2 million yen, compared with Zhang Anping's gains, they were really treated like slaves.

Compared with this huge wave of profits, killing a few traitors and letting the Japanese engage in a dog-eat-dog game is really nothing.

"This is the highest realm of undercover!"

Bian Jike sighed more than once, it really was a relief that opened his eyes, really opened his eyes!
As I was sighing, there was an orderly knock on the door.

Comrade Anping?

Bian Jike was delighted and quickly let Zhang Anping in when he knocked on the door.

When he returned to the house, he couldn't wait to ask, "Comrade Anping, do you have a mission for me?"

He had been tortured while in the Longhua camp, and had been recovering from his injuries for the past ten days, which almost drove him crazy.

He couldn't wait to become a powerful undercover agent, an ace undercover like Zhang Anping.

Looking at the impatient Bian Jike, Zhang Anping said in a serious tone: "Old Bian, it's time to test your acting skills!"

Bian Jike patted his chest and said, "Comrade Anping, go ahead!"

He has not yet realized the weight of the four words "test of acting skills".

Zhang Anping began to talk about tomorrow's arrangements. When Bian Jike heard that he would be dealing directly with Old Dai, he shuddered. When he heard what Zhang Anping was going to do, his jaw dropped in shock.

Tricking the head of the Military Control Commission into going deep into dangerous territory?
Take Dai Chunfeng with you to “capture the thief and the king”?
Oh my god, what kind of magical operation is this!
But after the shock, Bian Jike realized the opportunity - if he could complete this "misty" journey, his identity in the Military Control Commission would be flawless, and no one would ever accuse him of faking his betrayal. He could even be reused because of it!
After struggling to digest the information Zhang Anping had conveyed, Bian Jike solemnly assured Zhang Anping:
"Comrade Anping, please rest assured that I will not reveal any flaws!"

Zhang Anping was actually very relieved about Bian Jike. He was an experienced old underground party member. If he hadn't been so unlucky and encountered a large-scale arrest, he would definitely not have fallen into the hands of the enemy. In the final analysis, his mistake was due to the fact that he was too special.

Seeing that Bian Jike had quickly digested the shock he had given him, Zhang Anping started talking about the real business:

"This time you are traveling with Lao Dai, he will definitely ask you a lot of information about our party. You are very familiar with the Southern Jiangsu base area, Lao Dai will definitely ask more questions in this regard. I hope you can show some resistance."

"Resist a little?" Bian Jike was surprised.

"Yes, it's the kind of resistance that even though you've betrayed me, you don't want to fight against your former comrades. Do you understand?"

"understand."

Zhang Anping explained his purpose: "In this case, Old Dai will most likely not let you stay in Shanghai. Old Dai intends to open a 'Special Political Personnel Training Class' in Chongqing, with the goal of training spies who can infiltrate our border areas and the Holy Land. If you don't stay in Shanghai, you will most likely be assigned to be an instructor in this training class. Do you understand what I mean?"

Bian Ji suddenly realized.

Zhang Anping’s move was amazing!

"Should I give you the information about these people or should I contact the comrades in Chongqing?"

"Don't give it to me! Find a way to keep the photos and information of these people, just in case."

Bian Jike nodded solemnly: "I understand!"

He already had great admiration for Zhang Anping, and now it was more than just admiration - this comrade's plans were all prepared for the future in a few years!

No wonder the Shanghai District has become the leader in the spy warfare battlefield.

"There is one more thing we need to coordinate our statements on - you need to provide Lao Dai with the possibility that there are undercover agents from our party in the Shanghai area."

Bian Jike instinctively asked: "Ah? Why?"

Zhang Anping shrugged and didn't say that I have too many comrades under my command, so I have to prepare for the future explosion!
Seeing that Zhang Anping didn't say anything, Bian Jike said, "I understand. It's better to be prepared."

"Come on, let's agree on a statement - this time we're traveling together with Old Dai and Wang Tianfeng. Old Wang is a more meticulous guy, so our statement must be absolutely correct."

The two of them had a unified view on many issues. After repeated revisions, Bian Jike became an ironclad traitor to the CCP who was secretly instigated by Zhang Anping in the middle of 38. With this resume, it would be extremely difficult to overturn the verdict...

……

The next morning, Zhang Anping and Bian Jike waited for Lao Dai at the agreed place. After a while, Lao Dai, Wang Tianfeng and Guo Qiyu came over. Seeing Lao Dai's smug look, it seemed that he had a very comfortable night last night.

Old Dai was dressed as a small businessman, and Wang Tianfeng and Guo Qiyun were naturally dressed as servants. Seeing Zhang Anping and Bian Jike dressed as servants, Old Dai praised with satisfaction:

"You never let me down when it comes to disguises."

Zhang Anping and Lao Dai asked for a truck that had been prepared long ago. Before Wang Tianfeng and Guo Qiyun took the initiative to enter the truck, Zhang Anping handed a pass to Wang Tianfeng:
"This is the pass of the Okamoto Company. With it, you can basically travel freely in southern Jiangsu."

This is prepared for Lao Dai's secret guard team.

Wang Tianfeng understood and signaled Guo Qiyu to send the pass away.

While waiting, he asked Zhang Anping how to arrange security forces.

Zhang Anping told the truth and said that he had transferred the rangers over and that they would keep a distance of about six to eight hours from his side. In addition, he had prepared several radio stations and would keep in touch with the rangers at fixed times.

Wang Tianfeng was relieved after seeing this, but he did not reveal the security forces under his control - Old Wang was so prudent in his work that it was no wonder that Old Dai often took him with him when he went out.

Guo Qiyu returned quickly. Seeing this, Zhang Anping got into the driver's seat, started the car and began this "mysterious journey".

……

The Japanese rule in the occupied areas was to establish an occupation network with cities as nodes and various strongholds arranged along transportation lines (railways, highways).

Their garrisons are mainly located in large cities with convenient transportation, such as southern Jiangsu. The main cities where their garrisons are located are the five major cities in southern Jiangsu.

The rule in the county town was maintained by a small number of garrisons and a large number of puppet troops. Except for some villages and towns with large populations or those located on important transportation routes, they could not garrison troops in a large number of villages and could only rely on the so-called maintenance association to rule.

Therefore, villages and towns far away from county towns, cities or major transportation routes became the world of the Loyalty Army, the New Fourth Army and the guerrillas.

The two sides were intertwined in the area of ​​southern Jiangsu, and it was often the case that one village was under the control of the Loyalty Rescue Army, while the next village was under the control of the guerrillas.

That night, the five men who had transformed from the original "mechanized infantry" into pure infantry stayed in a village called Yunjia Village after being interrogated twice.

After Guo Qiyu and Bian Jike helped the tired-looking Old Dai to wash up, the tired Old Dai did not fall asleep immediately, but called Zhang Anping and Wang Tianfeng into the house.

Old Dai didn't look very happy, not only because he was tired, but also because he was angry.

We drove out of Shanghai, but encountered guerrillas after leaving Shanghai. The guerrillas just let us go after a simple interrogation, but soon we ran into the Chujiu Army. The sign of the Okamoto Company was quite useful, but the truck we were riding in was "confiscated".

This was the first time they were angered by the Zhongjiu Army. In the following journey, the group encountered guerrillas, the New Fourth Army, and the Zhongjiu Army, but after confirming that the former two were members of the Okamoto Company, they reminded them not to go to a certain place or village, and they never tried to extort money from them.

But once you encounter the Chujiu Army, you must pay a "toll", and even the sign of the Okamoto Company will be useless.

In addition, in the three days since they left Shanghai, they have encountered three incidents of the Loyalty Rescue Army entering the village and forcibly collecting "taxes".

Old Dai can actually accept all of the above.

In the words of Lao Dai:
"Their military expenditure is not even half of that of the regular army. Their actions deserve punishment, but their feelings deserve sympathy!"

But what made him sick was what he saw this afternoon - a Japanese transport team marched away in a swagger right under the noses of the Zhongjiu Army. Even though this "tax-collecting" Zhongjiu Army was twice as numerous as the Japanese transport team, it had no desire to take action. Instead, it watched them leave.

What Lao Dai could not accept the most was that after the transport team entered the guerrillas' defense zone, the guerrillas dispatched people to fight the Japanese. Although the guerrillas failed to capture the transport team, they had to turn back.

It was this transport team that was blocked by the guerrillas and had to turn back. The Zhongjiu Army had no intention of taking action and could only watch them pass by right under their noses.

A glimpse of the whole picture reveals what the Loyalty Rescue Army in the Southern Jiangsu Guerrilla Zone is like!

This is why Old Dai called Zhang Anping and Wang Tianfeng over.

"Anping, I think I understand the report you gave me before." Old Dai sighed. What's the point of having the Loyalty Rescue Army, which he had tried so hard to support, if it turned out to be a group of rabble who had no intention of fighting at all when they saw the Japanese?
What’s the point of learning from the Communists to create guerrilla zones and spend a lot of money and effort to send troops and generals if there is no result!

Zhang Anping didn't say anything, but Wang Tianfeng comforted him: "Boss, not all loyal soldiers are like this."

Old Dai did not deceive himself in front of his two confidants, and said self-deprecatingly: "In the past year or so, the Zhongjiu Army reported 213 battles of varying sizes, claiming to have killed more than enemies. I'm afraid that most of this is false!"

Zhang Anping whispered, "Eighty percent."

It’s 80% water!
Old Dai was a little embarrassed and said unhappily:
"Why don't you tell me what you think? Don't hide it! You've put me through so much hardship for three days, so don't hide your thoughts!"

Ever since Zhang Anping "tricked" him into coming to southern Jiangsu, Old Dai knew that Zhang Anping wanted him to see the Loyal Rescue Army with his own eyes. Now that he has seen everything he should see, he wants to see what his nephew is up to.

Zhang Anping said: "Commander, you have also seen that we are different from the Communist Party."

Zhang Anping's words were cryptic, but Old Dai understood what he meant.

Old Dai has been greatly shocked in the past three days.

In the southern Jiangsu area, apart from the Japanese, the forces between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were complicated. The Zhongjiu Army and the New Fourth Army coexisted in an area far away from the city in a way that you are in me and I am in you.

However, the Communist Party’s New Fourth Army had a complete organization at the village level. These organizations cooperated with the New Fourth Army and the guerrillas to firmly control the people in these villages.

On the contrary, although the Zhongjiu Army seemed to have a sphere of influence in southern Jiangsu that was no less than that of the New Fourth Army, its control over its sphere of influence was almost zero.

To put it cruelly, the people living in the area of ​​the Zhongjiu Army might have wanted to secretly inform the Japanese so that they could get rid of the Zhongjiu Army that was causing trouble in their hometown.

Old Dai saw this clearly after experiencing it personally - these ignorant people probably didn't know that the Loyalty Rescue Army only asked them to pay taxes, but when the Japanese devils came, they would rob them of everything!

Seeing Zhang Anping speak so bluntly, Old Dai was not angry and motioned Zhang Anping to continue.

"We can't lose the guerrilla zone, but we can't control it in this way anymore!"

Zhang Anping said in a deep voice: "I suggest that we use the Songhu model to replace the current guerrilla zone model! At the same time, we should also take action against the bloated Zhongjiu Army system, abandon the current reckless expansion of troops, and use elite small units to achieve the purpose of containment and guerrilla warfare."

The Songhu Command is a rather odd one in the Zhongjiu Army system.

Since the reorganization was completed last year, each detachment of the Zhongjiu Army rushed to its respective defense areas. In more than a year, the number of people in each unit has increased massively.

But the Songhu Detachment did not.

It had less than two thousand people, divided into several squadrons and operated in the Shanghai area and along the Beijing-Shanghai railway. It had never been expanded on a large scale.

Another point is that the Songhu Detachment is also the first example of a perfect integration between the Zhongjiu Army system and the local military control system.

Old Dai asked in a serious tone:
"Do you want to control the Loyal Rescue Army by district, station, or group?"

“That’s a bit taken for granted!”

Although the district, station, and group leaders are all military positions, being an agent is different from commanding a troop.

Zhang Anping said:

“There are ways to deal with it.”

"tell me the story."

"First, establish a joint command system like the Songhu Command, so that the leaders of the Loyal Rescue Army will not lose their voice."

"Secondly, we can provide special training to the heads of each district station group, and assign a chief of staff or deputy commander who is familiar with operations to coordinate."

"It's not easy to train specialized commanding personnel, but it's not difficult to let the heads of each district, station, and group understand operations involving hundreds of people through short-term training. Moreover, they don't need to personally take action when commanding operations."

Zhang Anping gave an example: "Take Suzhou as an example. To establish a Suzhou Command, it only needs to control three or two squadrons of the Loyal Rescue Army."

"In such a large area of ​​Suzhou, it is easy to support two squadrons of the Loyal Rescue Army, and it is also easy to cooperate with the Suzhou Station to carry out various guerrilla activities."

"In addition, we can set up several command posts within the city, such as a Southern Jiangsu Command Post, which will be under the jurisdiction of the Five Cities Command Post. In critical moments, we can also conduct joint and unified operations, while in normal times, we can be dispersed."

Old Dai fell into deep thought.

Currently, there are nearly 10,000 Loyal Rescue Army soldiers in southern Jiangsu. If, as Zhang Anping said, a Southern Jiangsu Command Center is established with five city command centers under its jurisdiction, 3,000 to 4,000 Loyal Rescue Army soldiers would be enough.

A lot of military expenditure can be saved. The most important thing is to have a general headquarters that can carry out effective management and organize large-scale operations.

This is consistent with my nephew's idea before the Anti-Japanese War, to conduct guerrilla warfare with groups, stations and districts as nodes.

He secretly calculated that in this way, the number of loyal soldiers in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui could be reduced to about 15,000.

The reduction in the number of people will inevitably lead to an increase in combat effectiveness.

"It's a good idea, but I need to think about it more. After all, this matter is of great importance."

Old Dai did not agree immediately. He still needed to think about it more - this idea was good, but reducing the number of people would inevitably lead to a decrease in the actual controlled area. Wouldn't that benefit the Communist Party?
"We'll talk about this later - now can we go find He Xingjian?"

It was obvious that Old Dai had had enough of the three days of hardship.

Zhang Anping hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander, I have important information to report to you."

(Sorry, I haven't been in good shape these days. I will update once a day for now. Please allow me to wait for a few days before resuming the daily update.) (End of this chapter)
