Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 450: Isolation and review, Cao Huaiyi's death? Battlefield rotation, promote the policy of rotation training (please subscribe)
Changzhi Headquarters.

Chief's office.

Chu Yunfei finally finished dealing with the documents in his hand and looked up at Huang Hongyou who was standing not far away.

There is not a trace of tension, only calmness.

"I transferred you back from the front line in such a hurry, don't you have anything to say?"

Huang Hongyou shook his head: "Commander Chu must have a reason for doing this. We, as subordinates, just need to obey orders."

Chu Yunfei put the pen aside and said, "I don't like beating around the bush. I ask you questions and you answer them. I like to hear the truth. After the battle in Yangquan, did the Red Party contact you?"

Huang Hongyou noticed something was wrong at this time: "Indeed, they did, but they only asked about Officer Jiang's life. It seems that they were planning to carry out corresponding publicity activities."

"Commander Chu, has something happened?" Huang Hongyou asked back.

Chu Yunfei continued to ask: "Someone told me that you once supported the political and military propositions of the Red Party when chatting with others?"

Huang Hongyou nodded: "Indeed, I did. I talked about this topic with Deputy Head Chen. He disagreed with it and we even had a quarrel."

"Is it Chen Feng?"

"Yes," Huang Hongyou slowly added, "I think that preserving the manpower and conducting guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare can effectively kill the Japanese army. The most important thing is that it can increase the cost of the Japanese army's war and force them to further consume resources."

Huang Hongyou paused and said, "But Chen Feng doesn't think so. He always thinks that we are a regular army and should fight a regular war. When we receive a defense order, we should fight to the death, even to the last soldier."

"I think his idea is quite paranoid, but he told me that if the regular army retreats, it will be defeated, and the defeat will be terrible!"

"I had a big argument with him at the time, and later some people said that I openly supported the Red Party's political views and military policies, but I didn't take it too seriously."

"Later I figured it out. Because of the Japanese army's security policy in the occupied areas, the guerrillas were often unable to effectively and promptly evacuate the people in the guerrilla areas after leaving the battle, which often led to many unnecessary sacrifices."

"As for what Deputy Commander Chen said, it is also related to his special experience. After all, he is an officer who experienced the Nanjing Massacre, so I don't think there is anything wrong with him having such thoughts."

Chu Yunfei nodded slowly: "Yes, everyone has their own ideas."

It was common for the people below to quarrel over their own military ideas.

No one will indulge anyone else. Everyone is at the same level of position and there is basically no difference in military rank.

It would be strange if there were no arguments during a meeting.

"Commander Chu, what happened?"

Chu Yunfei looked serious: "The Military Control Commission told me that Cao Huaiyi had secretly joined the Red Party. He had contact with you many times before this. How is your relationship with him?"

Cao Huaiyi was mentioned.

Huang Hongyou was startled: "How did the Military Control Commission know about this?"

"What do you mean, you knew he was a member of the Red Party?"

Huang Hongyou nodded slowly: "There are speculations in this regard, but there has been no substantial evidence. I am also testing his intentions by becoming friends with him."

"Deputy Director Cao had studied in the Soviet Union before, so he really knows a lot. He also has his own unique insights into intelligence science, and he is also a friendly person."

"The key is that he is different from us rough people. He doesn't like to swear. He always habitually mumbles some numbers in his mouth. These are numbers that I can't understand."

Huang Hongyou frowned and thought deeply: "I heard that our telegrams were encrypted before. I don't understand that thing, so I went to talk to him for a few words."

"As for whether he is a member of the Red Party, I have never asked him directly."

"If Director Cao is a member of the Red Party, that's a bit too scary. Although he is the deputy director, he has always been doing the work of the director."

Speaking of it.

Huang Hongyou couldn't help but frowned: "What would happen if he really is like that?"

Chu Yunfei did not answer directly, but continued to ask: "The last question, have you joined the Red Party?"

Huang Hongyou shook his head: "No, no one has mentioned this to me."

"You should go back and rest first. This matter involves a lot of people, so we need to review and confirm each one. You can't go back to the front line in a short time."

"I understand sir."

"Captain Huang, please."

Zhao Pengcheng slowly stretched out his right hand and made a gesture.

Shortly after Huang Hongyou turned and left.

Sun Ming quickly stepped into the officer's office and asked, "Sir, what's the situation?"

"At least I didn't say anything wrong."

When Chu Yunfei was questioning, he used standard confession psychology, which is also known as interrogation psychology.

The questions asked previously were all information that Chu Yunfei had confirmed from the Military Control Commission and Sun Ming.

Once Huang Hongyou answered, there was a problem.

Then it can be determined that there is a high probability that Huang Hongyou has a problem.

At least there is something hidden.

Even if Huang Hongyou really has problems, Chu Yunfei cannot let him get into trouble. At most, he can marginalize him and no longer use him.

What made Chu Yunfei happy was that Huang Hongyou at least did not say the wrong thing.

As for what the truth of the matter itself is.

Not important anymore.

Sun Ming slowly asked, "What about Cao Huaiyi..."

Chu Yunfei was silent for a moment and then waved his hand.

Sun Ming's pupils shrank: "I will do it immediately."
-

Cao Huaiyi is dead.

Sun Ming acted decisively and efficiently, and did not let it fall into the hands of the Military Control Commission or its people.

Nor did I suffer any pain.

At least that's what Sun Ming and Chu Yunfei said to the outside world.

Huang Hongyou was soon released from investigation.

In order to comfort him, Chu Yunfei gave him three days off.

It's said to be a holiday.

In fact, it was also to shut up the Shancheng side.

Three days.

If nothing can be found.

Then this matter will naturally come to an end.

Do whatever you should do.

Huang Hongyou naturally also needs to return to the front line to command the operations.

Yes.

For the commanders under Chu Yunfei, it was not about going to the front line, but returning to the front line.

In most cases, it is difficult for frontline combat troops to get opportunities for rotation and rest.

Chu Yunfei was also thinking of a solution for this.

See if we can rotate the troops down to give them a rest.

Even an iron man can't hold out if he keeps staying on the front line like this.

"What stage has the reorganization of the troops reached so far?"

Zhao Pengcheng asked: "Which one are you asking about?"

"The troops led by Zhang Fugui and Pang Junming." Chu Yunfei didn't even raise his head, but looked down at the new situation reported by the supervisors below: "The situation at the front is not very good. After fighting for such a long time in the cold weather, many soldiers have some dissatisfaction in their hearts."

"At present, the personnel have basically been filled in and the organization is complete." Zhao Pengcheng spoke quickly: "The new recruits have completed the new recruit training before this, but according to the report of the two, the new recruits are lacking in the excavation of civil bunkers. As of three days ago, they have not yet completed the adaptive training."

"Report to the headquarters. In order to confuse the Japanese intelligence agencies, adjust the numbers of the first and fourth units to the first and fourth tactical groups, and adjust the number of the Changzhi Arsenal to the number issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and temporarily designate it as the 88th Arsenal."

"Also give them a call and dispatch them to the front line to replace the frontline combat troops and prepare for rest."

"Give Zhuo Tianyu another order to build a small comprehensive training ground in the southwest of Huailai County. The combat simulation scenes will include mountains, plains, rivers and other terrains."

"Yes!"

Zhao Pengcheng turned around to do his work, while Chu Yunfei quickly picked up the phone in his hand: "Connect with the adjutant."

"I'm Chu Yunfei. Send someone to ask Lu Yubin to come to my office."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Yunfei looked down at the documents in his hand.

The numbers reported by Lu Yubin did not match the numbers in his mind.

The number counted alone was more than 80,000 people short.

In the system, the base construction module statistics that the population of southeastern Shanxi is 4.18 million.

But the figure given to him by Lu Yubin, the director of the left-behind office, was 4.1 million.

The difference is at least 80,000.

Not a small amount.

Even if a very small part of them are the hidden population in rural areas.

But now in southeastern Shanxi.

Most of the towns are connected by paved roads.

The difference should not be 4.1 million.

[Current population of Southeast Shanxi: 414 million]

[Estimated GDP: 18313 million (French currency)]

[Current estimated total annual revenue: 2661 million (French currency)]

Current tax capacity: 83%

[The current estimated number of recruits is: 15 (38.2)]

[Current base development rating: 17 (out of )]

[Current pillar industries of the base area: tobacco industry; mining industry; military industry]

Current literacy rate: 45%

[Current stability: 72%]

[Special: The base's pillar industry resources increase by 5%; the work efficiency of various industries increases by 10%]

[Current special bonus attribute upgrade and extraction requirements: ① Stability 70% ② Base development score increased to 20 ③ Tax capacity 80% ④ Literacy rate 45%]

Two full months have passed since Chu Yunfei last paid attention to the southeastern Shanxi region.

The development score barely increased a bit.

I don’t know what the system relies on to judge the development score.

However, the increase in population has not led to much increase in production output value.

This may be related to the age and identity composition of the refugees who need to be resettled.

Southeast Shanxi is the base and the focus of Chu Yunfei's construction. It is in his plan.

A second airport will also be built in Shangdang area to cope with the future major counterattack in North China.

Linfen Airport is also an alternative.

But after careful consideration, it was decided to use it as a passenger and cargo airport.

Longcheng Airport and Changzhi Airport will become bridgeheads for air force operations in the entire North China region.

And among the options of the diplomatic module in the system.

Submitted by the Soviet Volunteer Army.

Chu Yunfei judged that it was most likely a new batch of air force.

As for how many there will be.

He himself doesn't know.

It's been so long since the diplomacy module was opened.

After using it a few times, the effect is really good.

It is precisely because of this relevant assistance that the needs of current combat troops are maintained.

It is the end of the world.

If it is really the Air Force.

At least the air supremacy over the entire Shanxi Province is guaranteed. To go further.

The recovery of northeastern Shanxi in one fell swoop is just around the corner.

It is unknown when the Soviet Union and Japan will sign the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact.

Then we can count on the Soviets.

But that's not realistic at all.

The Soviets would refuse to pay for things purchased with real money.

The volunteer air force sent to Shanxi area will most likely be recalled.

Think about it carefully.

Before and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Republic of China was tormented by these powers.

The Germans are not mentioned.

Take for example the spoils the Japanese seized at the border during the Battle of Southern Guangxi.

In fact, it was because of the French protests against the Japanese.

There was a brief interruption in trade and transportation between the two sides.

Only after Chang Ruiyuan sent people to negotiate for two months was transportation in batches allowed.

If the transportation efficiency was maintained before, how could it have been seized by the Japanese?

Before that, the aircraft purchased by the Nationalist government from the French were D.510C fighter jets.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

The French cited the tense situation in Europe and the need to strengthen national defense as their reason.

Adjusted the supply quantity of the order.

The number of fighter jets was reduced from 36 to .

later.

The French also sold the same fighter to the Japanese.

Obviously, its essential purpose is to avoid angering the Japanese.

In fact, none of these great powers can be relied upon.

In the end, you have to rely on yourself.

If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese posed a real threat to the interests of Britain, the United States and other countries in Southeast Asia.

Judging from the appeasement policy previously pursued by the United Kingdom.

They are unwilling to provide even limited credit loans.

Short-sighted in a real sense.

Just as Chu Yunfei was thinking about how to find a way to get more aid from the pockets of the great powers with some reason.

There was a knock on the office door.

Chu Yunfei put the mind map in front of him back into the drawer: "Come in."

"Commander Chu, you are looking for me."

"Director Lu, please sit down."

Chu Yunfei slowly stood up and motioned Lu Yubin to sit on the sofa beside him.

"I invited you here this time because I want to talk to you about the current development status of Southeast Shanxi and the development plan for the coming year."

Lu Yubin did not relax at all because of Chu Yunfei's kindness.

"At present, according to the development strategy set by Chief Sun, in addition to agricultural reclamation work, the projects for work-for-relief are mainly water conservancy and infrastructure construction, especially infrastructure construction in the Taihang Mountain area."

"Commander Sun believes that, to a certain extent, an attack on the Japanese army in Hebei and other areas from the southern Taihang Mountains would be more unexpected than an attack from Handan."

Chu Yunfei heard this and shook his head helplessly: "I asked him to build the road in order to strengthen the connection with the mountain people, not to really attack from the South Taihang Mountains."

"Yes, this year I plan to continue to increase the rate of absorbing displaced persons and refugees."

"Commander Chu, are you planning to expand the army?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "Maintaining the current size of the army is already an unbearable burden for the people. Further expansion of the army will inevitably increase the burden on the people. By then, it will not be a matter of fighting anymore."

"The purpose is to develop and utilize various areas in Shanxi. Even if it is just planting trees, we should also give these refugees food to eat and not let them go hungry."

"Shaanxi is also accepting a large number of refugees, but their resettlement work is not very good. Many people have been waiting for a long time but have not been resettled."

"How many rescue stations do we have in Shaanxi now?"

"Eight is the limit allowed by Chief Sun and Chief Hu. After all, Shaanxi and other regions also need development."

"Yes, if we want to develop, we need talents, so we need to speed up the process of accepting displaced persons and refugees."

Without a large influx of foreign population, it would be a dream to expect rapid development.

In Chu Yunfei's memory.

Because of the arrival of Yan Laoxi, Kenanpo was transformed from a small village with more than a dozen households in just two years.

The reason why it changed into a small town of more than 20,000 people was essentially because of the influence of the local positioning of the headquarters of Yan Laoxi, the commander of the Second War Zone.

As for the food shortage problem caused by the influx of a large number of foreign population.

Chu Yunfei was actually not worried.

The water conservancy project in Shangdang area was built for two and a half years.

After all, it did play some role, and the grain yield per mu increased by 30% compared with before.

The yield per mu increased from 200 catties to 260 catties per mu.

In addition, in the past two years, most areas in southeastern Shanxi have not been affected by the easy life.

39 was another rare year of bumper harvest.

Even at 40 and 41, there were some problems.

But there will always be a good harvest.

As for the severe drought in 42.

With these three years as a foundation, the entire Shanxi region was still able to stockpile some grain.

It will naturally facilitate disaster relief work at that time.

"If we follow the development plan of Chief Sun, many people will need to move to the northwest of Shanxi to plant trees and restore the ecology. In addition, the roads and infrastructure in the northwest of Shanxi are also problems. Chief Sun plans to revitalize inland river transportation."

The northwest region of Shanxi is also an area that Chu Yunfei has identified as needing vigorous development.

If we simply make a comparison.

If the southeastern region of Shanxi had been left alone, the people would not have starved to death.

But the northwest region of Shanxi is different.

Due to the destruction of the natural environment and serious problems such as soil erosion, the yield per mu is basically only a hundred kilograms.

Starvation is common.

The current development of southeastern Shanxi can be described as rapid.

The urban area of ​​Changzhi has expanded by one third compared to before.

The population increased by thirty thousand people.

The number of people registered in Changzhi has exceeded 800,000.

It was a full 200,000 more than before Chu Yunfei came.

In the entire Shanxi region, it is second only to Longcheng.

Following them are cities such as Linfen, Jincheng, and Datong.

If it weren't for the war.

Apart from Longcheng, the best developed city is Datong.

It's a pity that Datong is now in ruins because of the Japanese invasion and the war.

It will take at least half a year to rebuild it.

Want to restore the prosperity since the outbreak of the full-scale Anti-Japanese War.

There is basically no hope within two years.

As for the inland river economy mentioned by Sun Weimou.

In fact, it is the Yellow River waterway transportation, but it was developed because of the railway and the war.

The decline was severe.

There is nothing left in the northwest of Shanxi that is worth merchants' special trip to purchase.

The handicrafts originally used for trade also lost their market due to the impact of industrial products.

As for what kind of well-known brand you want to create to drive employment.

It's not very realistic in this era.

Chu Yunfei pondered for a moment, but still couldn't think of a solution.

Then let’s just use the old method and start mining!
Think about it.

They can't just open the business on their own, they also have to get others to invest.

It would be best if we could provide the corresponding production, refining, and even transportation equipment.
