Chapter 1166 Border Area Affairs
On the road back to the border area of Qingjian County, the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army were very upbeat. Mr. Chen and other members of the condolence group smiled and only the national government had a gloomy face, just like the dead mother.
In this battle, Fang Laoliu and his subordinates were either shot dead or captured. The bandits that had been rampant in the border area for several years were all killed. During this period, the combat qualities shown by the Eighth Route Army were amazing in command of the water surface.
From the start of the battle to the cleaning of the battlefield, it took only less than 4 hours to eliminate hundreds of enemies in such a short time. Even if the opponent is an informal army, it is enough to prove the combat effectiveness of the border troops.
The difficulty of suppressing bandits or public security wars is no less than positional wars.
How to fight in a small range and in complex enemy situations and minimize casualties is a test of the abilities of grassroots soldiers and commanders.
For example, the judgment of the enemy situation, the understanding of the situation of the troops, the control of the timing and location of interspersed, the grasp of information on changes in the battle situation, the speed of decision-making and deployment, the speed of the troops' detours, etc.
It can be said that a unit that cannot even be competent for public security wars should not expect it to fight a regular war. Although it is absolutely true, it is the case.
Zuo Chong thought of the contempt of some keyboard warfare in later generations, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth. He really asked these people to command the bandits to suppress the bandits, but I was afraid that he didn't know who to suppress whom.
"It's a victory!"
"It's a victory!"
Just as he was wandering outside the sky, a loud slogan suddenly broke out in the middle of the Eighth Route Army, and the slogans became louder and louder, and there were signs of gradual spread.
The personnel of the Fructus Party looked at each other, not understanding why the underground party was so excited. It could not be that the Japanese surrendered or the dog P-Celestial Locust died, but they soon knew the reason.
Deputy Minister Li rushed to everyone and informed the condolence group and the spies about a news, a huge good news.
"Everyone, just a few hours ago, our troops in North China launched a large-scale raid against the Japanese, carrying out hundreds of battles of all sizes and sizes, killing and wounding thousands of enemy puppet troops.
At present, 17 strongholds such as Niangziguan have been conquered, 33 kilometers of railways, 30 kilometers of highways, 18 bridges have been destroyed, 160 long and short guns, 8 light and heavy machine guns, 5 artillery pieces of various types, and 31,000 ammunition have been seized.
The Zhengtai Railway, which undertakes the transportation between Shanxi Province and Hebei Province, was completely cut off, and this is just the beginning. Next, we will launch a larger-scale attack and give a heavy blow to the devils in North China."
The Zhengtai Railway was cut off?
Except for Zuo Chong, who had been expected, everyone was in an uproar when they heard this. They knew about this railway and also knew the impact of the destruction of the railway. The underground party made such a big move.
Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang frowned. In just a few years, the underground party army, which had suffered heavy losses, has recovered its strength. The rapid development speed is really unexpected.
If the other party continues to develop without limits... it is hard to say who wins and loses.
Xu Enzeng also thought of this and his face became even more ugly. The stronger the old opponent, the more worried his future would be. Others still have the opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. As the deputy director of the Central Commission for Administration, he had no choice but to wait for death.
Deputy Minister Li noticed the reaction of everyone, pulled the reins and accelerated the speed, left the people in the countryside and went to talk to Mr. Chen, and laughter came immediately.
The dark-faced spies, the joyful Eighth Route Army commanders and fighters, and the overseas Chinese in the South China formed a harmonious and opposing picture. Zuo Chong, in one corner of the picture, smiled, as if nothing happened.
That afternoon.
The bandit suppression team and the observation group returned to the border area station. The left-behind troops did not enter the city and went directly to the camp for rest. Zuo Chong, Mr. Chen and others also returned to their residence to rest.
Vice Minister Li went to see a leader and reported the results of the trip, especially his inference that Zuo Chong might sympathize with his life.
After hearing this, the leader was speechless for a long time, and finally pressed the cigarette butt and walked to the cave. He gave his own opinion in a southern accent.
"Let's look at a person, don't look at what he says, look at how he does it. Whether Zuo Chong is good or bad, I think so, don't rush to make a conclusion first.
He is a fellow townsman of the chairman and a student of Dai Chunfeng. Even if he really has a good impression of us, it will definitely not be convenient to show it.
Then listen to his words and actions, he is a friend, we welcome him, and he is an enemy. We are not even afraid of the Chairman. Are we still afraid of a spy?
Of course, it is indeed a great thing if Zuo Chong is willing to help us. He is a famous big capitalist, and there is no money in his purse."
The leader made a joke and then asked Vice Minister Li a question. The content of the question was also related to Zuo Chong, or to Zuo Family.
"I remember that last year, an old man Zuo donated a batch of medicinal materials through the Nanyang organization. I heard that the other party was Zuo Chong's grandfather. Is there any such incident?"
Deputy Minister Li nodded: "Yes, according to the news we have received, the other party is indeed Zuo Chong's grandfather, Mr. Zuo Xuechen.
Thanks to that batch of precious medicinal herbs, many injured soldiers on the front line were able to recover, otherwise the casualties of the boss would be even greater.
In addition, Zuo Chong's younger brother, Mr. Zuo Junzuo and his fiancee, Ms. Cheng Danli, have also donated scarce supplies from border areas through secret channels many times.
The Cheng family is a wealthy family in Nanyang and is quite famous in the local area. They have protected our exposed comrades and escaped the pursuit of the colonial authorities."
The leader pondered for a moment and picked up a book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from his desk. This was a collection of books discovered by troops in the southwest when they attacked the hometown of Tan Yankai, a Jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty. After getting it, the leader couldn't put it down and went to study when he had time. He often recommended it to other people.
Today he picked up this book again and said slowly to Deputy Minister Li: "The world's general trend will be together for a long time, and the relationship will be together for a long time. There is another saying that there will be unexpected changes in the sky, and people will have good fortune and good fortune at any time.
Wei, Shu and Wu divided the world into three parts, and the Zhuge family was divided into three parts. No matter which family the world belongs to, the Zhuge family was still a noble family, which was the speculative nature of the anti-epidemic class.
But we must look at the problem in two ways. We cannot push the capitalists and landlords who are close to each other and live in isolation to the Fruit Party. We must also strive for it while staying vigilant.
Things in war should be about strategy, and the right time, place, and harmony between people. We should pay attention to harmony between people and people in strategy, and we should pay attention to harmony between people and places in tactics.
Time belongs to the strategic level, location belongs to the tactical level, human harmony belongs to strategy, and tactical levels, which shows that human harmony is everywhere, so what is human harmony?
The simplest thing is to make friends more and enemies less. The work of the united front should not be underestimated. I will write a letter to Mr. Zuo for his help in life-brokenness.
You have to arrange this matter well and not cause trouble to our friends. Let the comrades on the underground front tell the old man that if the Japanese are driven away in the future, we welcome him to come back and take a look."
With a few words, the leader pointed out the importance of striving for patriotic overseas Chinese such as the Zuo family and Cheng family from a strategic perspective, showing the demeanor and pattern of the underground party, which is different from the Fruit Party’s only wanting money.
Zuo Chong, who is in a guesthouse in the border area, did not know his old man's bets on both ends, but he would not be surprised even if he knew about it.
Whenever the world is in the prime of the tripod, the aristocratic families always operate in this way. No matter who loses or who wins, it will not affect the family's inheritance. Therefore, there is the saying of the Locust Emperor and the iron-beating aristocratic family.
Zuo Chong rested in the cave for a while and ordered the radio operator to send the information about the bandit suppression and attack war to Shancheng, and then accompanied the condolence team to follow the staff of the border area's communication department to a vacant land in the garrison.
A farewell party will be held here soon, and the inspection of the condolences in the border area has ended. People from all walks of life in the border area gathered together to see Mr. Chen off, in order to celebrate the victory of the attack.
In the open space, several Eighth Route Army soldiers were playing a red-Russian style song holding the accordion. At first, the rhythm was extremely cheerful, but slowly it became sad again, as if telling a sad story.
“Пpoщahnecлaвrhkn!
(Farewell to Slavic women)”
Zuo Chong, who was on the sidelines, listened to the music and said in Russian, then turned to introduce the origin of the song to Mr. Chen and others who were not familiar with red and Russian songs.
This song is a patriotic marche created by Belarusian musician Agapukin, influenced by the First Balkan War. It tells the story of a Slavic woman saying goodbye to her lover who was heading to the front line. It is well-known in Red Russia.
Deputy Minister Li, who had just arrived, walked to Zuo Chong and looked at him deeply. From this incident, we could see that the Fructus spies had a deep understanding of Red Russia.
After Zuo Chong said that, he saw Deputy Minister Li coming, bowed and apologized to Mr. Chen, and then called Deputy Minister Li to circle the open space, and after a few chats, he said something.
"Old Li, your strength has been exposed in this operation. Are you not afraid that the Chairman will think too much?"
Hearing this somewhat sensitive question, Deputy Minister Li calmed down, looked at the cheerful crowd with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stopped and replied seriously to Zuo Chong.
"Deputy Director Zuo, what does the Shancheng government think? That's your business. All we think about is how to fight the Japanese, and the others are not important.
From the beginning of Sino-Japanese War to the present, it is because some people think too much and do too little that the country is in chaos and the nation is in danger.
I hope you can advise Mr. Chairman to do more facts and not be a sinner of the nation and the country, otherwise one day it will be too late to regret."
Zuo Chong was silent, advice? It's useless.
The one who came back from Red Russia could not persuade him, let alone him as a small deputy director.
This is determined by one's own class position and cannot be changed by a conversation. The two cannot coexist.
The conversation ends here.
Deputy Minister Li raised his foot and walked firmly to the distance. Zuo Chong stopped in place and stared at each other's back. The two looked gradually moving away, just like their open beliefs.
At this time, a song was changed on the space and land. Many Eighth Route Army soldiers danced Red Russian dances to the music, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Surprisingly, Xu Enzeng was also mixed in and jumped extremely vigorously.
He was like a dancing fat penguin, sometimes squatting on the ground, sometimes getting up and spinning, which was so ugly that Mr. Chen and others laughed.
Wu Chunyang looked at Xu Enzeng who was dancing with a smile. For some reason, a cold feeling appeared in his bones, which made him fall into an ice cellar. A guess arose in his heart, Wang Badan would not betrayal!
"Chunyang, are you scared?"
A voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Wu Chunyang looked at him and found that the deputy director had walked to him at some point. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
A few seconds later, Zuo Chong turned his gaze away from a dancer who was getting more and more active, slowly turned his head to stare at the old subordinate who had never known what he was afraid of, and raised his hand and patted the other person on the shoulder, with a gentle and deep look.
"Don't be afraid. No matter what time it is, you must believe in your brother. You are not fighting alone. Remember this forever."
After saying that, Zuo Chong turned his back to Wu Chunyang again, looking at Gui Youguang and the little spy guarding around him, as if asking questions, or talking to himself.
"Chunyang, you said, after driving away the Japanese, should the government establish an external intelligence agency? The English abbreviation is FIRC, which specializes in the intelligence work of the government overseas.
If this matter is done, then you will all transfer from the Military Control Commission to help me. The large-scale war in the future may stop, but the secret confrontation will never disappear."
He paused for a moment, and felt as if he had made a decision in his heart. Before Wu Chunyang could answer, he continued to speak, and his tone became affirmative.
"Give you a mission, and after you go back, you tell Miss Gisele Roy who was contacted during the mission in Germany (verse 609), and let her use the Roy family's connections in Europe to secretly adopt some white orphans.
Contact Zuo Jun again and asked him to find some children from Southeast Asia, America and black to send all of them to farms in New Zealand and order the brothers in New Zealand to train well, which is related to all of us."
Wu Chunyang seemed to understand the deputy director’s plan, and a sincere smile appeared on his face, straightened his chest, and said happily yes.
Before he finished speaking, the accompanying operator ran quickly from a distance to hand over a telegram. Zuo Chong's face darkened after reading it quickly, raised his head and sighed helplessly.
