Republic of China 1927

() "Yunfu looks like you are full of spring breeze, this time the harvest is not small!" At the beginning of July of the 16th year of the Republic of China, outside the temporary headquarters of Shengjiazhuang at the southern foot of Yishan Mountain, Du Yan pointed at the deputy walking briskly. Zhu Yunfu said.

"You have eaten up all of Sun Cunzhong's main force, so I can only drink some soup." Zhu Yunfu said with a slight smile: "The people staying in the village are all old, weak, sick and disabled. After the gate of the village was blasted open, they didn't resist much. It's all down!"

"A total of 75 bandits were killed and wounded, 170 three were captured, 110 two guns were seized, and five thousand and 330 property were captured..." Without waiting for Du Yan to ask, Zhu Yunfu took out a piece of paper to report the specific results of the battle. It is a necessary subject after each bandit suppression war, and all the seized items must be recorded and registered one by one, and a part of it will be used to compensate the casualties and reward those who have made meritorious service.

"Okay, okay, just hand it over to the logistics department." Du Yan waved his hand and said, "The captives will still be dealt with in the old way." The number of mobile detachments has been expanding, and the mines controlled by the Du family are also in urgent need of workers. , so digesting these captives is not a problem.

This time the mobile detachment was divided into two groups to besiege the bandit's lair on Xiaolu Mountain, and to ambush the main force of the bandits who joined forces to rescue them. The detachment marked a perfect end to its 20-day clean-up operation.In addition, Sun Cunzhong wiped out a total of more than [-] generals of the three major groups and the four small groups of bandits this time, and there may be even more people who were driven away from the Yishan area. The banditry that looted the Yishan area has been effectively controlled.

"We've been out for half a month, and it's time for us to go back." Zhu Yunfu's old lady was also taken to live in Daguan Town. The old man's health is not very good, and he has long since returned home.

"You go back first, I can't leave yet." Du Yan said with a smile: "Bring me the captive this time."

"Guanghua, what do you want? You don't want to continue to act!" Zhu Yunfu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "If you continue to fight, I won't go!" The original plan was to kill Sun Cunzhong and return to Shidaguan Town .

"Yunfu, what do you think of Mashan Town?" Du Yan suddenly squatted down, picked up a small stone on the ground and scratched at random.

"Guanghua, you won't be looking at this treasure land!" What a shrewd person Zhu Yunfu is, he immediately guessed Du Yan's intentions. Mashan Town is located in the northeast of Yishui County, guarding Qingzhou to Linyi, Zhucheng, Juxian The two official roads leading to Xintai and Yanzhou in other places are strategically important places in the central Lu area. They were affected by banditry before, so their business was depressed. Now that the banditry is under control, business will definitely flourish again.

"Daguan Town is too small, we can't fit our mobile detachment anymore." Du Yan continued to paddle on the ground, and soon the map around Daguan Town was roughly displayed on the ground.Now there are more than 2000 people in the mobile detachment, plus Zhu Qigui's battalion, it's too wasteful to put nearly 3000 people in a small town.

"I see, how many people does Guanghua want to put here?" Zhu Yunfu said without hesitation, with a hint of excitement in his words.It will be sooner or later to get out of Daguan Town, and it has been doing it all the time. Now the mobile detachment has firmly controlled Daguan Town as the center of more than a dozen towns, but it is the first time to march into an important town like Mashan today. Maybe it will occupy a county seat or something.

"A brigade of infantry and a team of machine guns, let Wu Chengzhi come here." Du Yan had already planned, so he said without hesitation: "After the situation stabilizes, we will continue to increase troops. We will build this place into a place where we can control Yishui and report to Anqiu. , the bridgehead for the infiltration of Ju County.”

"Wu Chengzhi's maturity and prudence are indeed the best candidates." Zhu Yunfu nodded in agreement and said, "Three or 400 people are enough to control this town. As long as we guard for more than half a day, we can come to reinforce it from Daguan Town."

"It's just that Mashan Town originally had a company of garrisons. Will there be any conflicts when we come in?" Zhu Yunfu thought for a while and said, unlike Zhu Qigui's battalion, Zhu Qigui has been stationed in Daguan Town for many years and has been under the supervision of the Du family. Du Yan saved his life some time ago.Since he was promoted from company commander to battalion commander, his subordinates have basically become Du Yan's subordinates. The guns and ammunition are purchased by the mobile detachment, and the military salary has never been paid. Even the military training and assessment are with the mobile detachment. Ren Liu was wearing the military uniform of the Zhi-Shandong Allied Army, which was similar to the brigade under the mobile detachment. This time, two companies were sent to fight bandits together.

"Hmph! If they are obedient, I don't mind raising another company." Du Yan stood up and threw the stone to the ground with a sneer and said, "If they are not obedient, there will be less blood on our hands!"

"Guanghua, isn't it a little risky to do this?" Zhu Yunfu frowned and said worriedly: "Bravely confronting the Zhilu army may cause a backlash!"

"Now the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces are too busy to take care of themselves. If we don't take the opportunity to expand our strength, when will we wait?" Du Yan said nonchalantly: "Except for a few counties, we must control the area around Yishan as soon as possible. Take control."

"Guanghua, I have a question. I don't know if I should say it or not?" Seeing Du Yan's high-spirited look, Zhu Yunfu said hesitantly.His future and destiny are now tightly tied to the mobile detachment and Du Yan, and the troops he can mobilize far exceed a battalion.

"Yunfu, which one of us is talking to whom? If you have something to say, you might as well talk it out." Du Yan said rather unexpectedly, Zhu Yunfu's personality is relatively straightforward, and this kind of hidden talk is relatively rare.

"Is Guanghua interested in the south?" Zhu Yunfu looked around and pointed to the south and said in a low voice, "If so, I have some acquaintances there." The Northern Expedition was basically fought by Baodingsheng and Huangpusheng. Many of Zhu Yunfu's classmates who went to the south in the past got into high positions.Du Yan has never clearly expressed his political inclination, but Zhu Yunfu can be sure that at least he doesn't have any good feelings for the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces, otherwise it shouldn't be a problem for him to be the head of the regiment with his family background and experience.

"Your classmates in Baoding are doing well in the south, and they are probably at the level of regimental commander and brigade commander. Does Yunfu regret it?" Du Yan answered the wrong question, making Zhu Yunfu a little uneasy.

"It's the general trend that the south prevails over the north wind. Whether I intend it or not, sooner or later you and I will vote for them, unless we are no longer in the military." Du Yan said bluntly, he didn't want to alienate Zhu Yunfu because of playing tricks relationship between.

"Since this is the case, now is a good opportunity!" Hearing this, Zhu Yunfu was overjoyed, and said excitedly, "The Third Route Army of the Northern Expedition Army has been besieging Linyi for more than half a month."

"Tell me about your plan?" Du Yan signaled Zhu Yunfu to continue, if not for being familiar with this period of history, maybe he was a little tempted.

"Currently our mobile detachment plus Zhu Qigui's battalion under your orders has more than 3000 people, and the rest of the militia groups attached to us are no less than [-]. As long as we rise up in Luzhong, the people who have suffered from the dog-eat-dog rule for a long time will definitely follow suit. There may be as many as ten thousand people..." The more Zhu Yunfu said, the more excited he became, the excitement was beyond words, as if a huge turning point would take place in the blink of an eye, and the Northern Expedition would soon sweep Qilu.

"Guanghua, is there something wrong with what I said?" I said that my mouth was dry, but Du Yan didn't respond at all, Zhu Yunfu asked in bewilderment.

"What you said is very good, but the timing is not right." Du Yan said lightly: "For a long period of time, we will still focus on consolidating the base with Yishan as the center, and we will not change our flag when the situation is clear. Late."

"The time is wrong? When the Northern Expeditionary Army breaks through Linyi and sweeps Luzhong, we will be passive." Zhu Yunfu said anxiously: "I can guarantee that with your strength, Guanghua, you will at least be a division commander when you reach the south!"

"Yunfu, do you think we can do anything with the strength of our mobile detachment alone?" Du Yan took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Zhu Yunfu, then lit one himself and started to smoke.This is the Taishan brand cigarette newly produced by Dujia Cigarette Factory. Its taste and packaging are not inferior to those of Sanpaotai and Hardemen produced by British American Tobacco Factory.

"Of course not. There are 3 to [-] Zhi-Shandong allied forces in central Shandong alone, and [-] to [-] Sun troops retreating in Jiaodong." Zhu Yunfu shook his head and said, "But we are not fighting alone. There are also hundreds of thousands of troops."

"Yunfu must remember, never pin your hopes on others." Du Yan said earnestly with a puff of smoke.

"You mean that the Northern Expedition is unreliable? We are just following the general trend, and we are afraid that they will kill the donkey?" Zhu Yunfu said disapprovingly, holding a cigarette in his hand. Almost everyone who takes refuge has an official job, and everyone has money to take it. In this way, in just one year, the National Revolutionary Army expanded from eight armies when it first started to more than 40 armies plus a larger number of du li division brigades .

"The Northern Expeditionary Army's back road is not stable, even if it captures Linyi, it will not be able to defend it." Du Yan had to explain: "The Zhilu coalition forces in the direction of Jinpu Road have turned their defense into an offensive, recapturing Guanqiao and Lincheng, and going straight to Han Zhuang, it won't be long before Linyi's Northern Expeditionary Army can only abandon the siege."

"So that's how it is, that's how it is!" Upon hearing these words, Zhu Yunfu murmured in dismay, without any doubt about the accuracy of Du Yan's information.

"You don't need to regret Yunfu. In another year at most, the Northern Expeditionary Army will make a comeback. At that time, our strength will definitely be much stronger than now. Wouldn't it be better to vote there?" Du Yan said comfortingly, throwing away the half-burned cigarette butt.

"Okay! Anyway, I will give you the 100 catties. You have to be responsible to me." After a while, Zhu Yunfu had adjusted and said with a smile.

Beginning in early July, the mobile detachment of the Yishan Civil Defense Corps took Yishan as the center and rapidly expanded its power outwards, controlling dozens of surrounding towns one after another, occupying a large area of ​​land in five counties of Linqu, Yishan, Juxian, Anqiu, and Boshan. During this period, many local big households who did not cooperate were purged as gangsters, and local militia groups were reorganized and included in the reserve team of the mobile detachment.
