Chapter 344

Since 1942 and 1943, the CCP has vigorously promoted the policies and policies to develop large-scale production, which have greatly improved the economic and people's living standards of each base area. Although there have been natural and man-made disasters such as war, drought and locust plagues, the military and civilians in the base area are still able to fill their stomachs. Despite the Japanese cage blockade, the National Government's intentional or unintentional encroachment and deduction of international aid materials, self-reliance, and sufficient food and clothing, the base area that relies on its own hands to open up land, cultivate livestock, and build primary industries, and achieve self-sufficiency in arms.

Especially in the Hebei area where there are granaries in North China, the grain harvest that has begun to be harvested has become the target of jealousy and scramble for all forces. When they become soldiers, they eat grain and fight, and food means the fundamentals. The guns and machines will come out as soon as they turn, but when people starve to death, there will be nothing left.

Except for the Central Army, which is the direct troops of the National Government, who can obtain a large amount of money and grain supply, most local troops of the National Army belong to local warlords. The food and wages distributed by the National Government after layers of deductions cannot be maintained. The differences between the National Army and the base areas that have not paid attention to local economic development are obvious. Some local troops of the National Army who are ready to move even sent small teams to the countryside to grab grain and extend their hands to the base areas.

By the end of May, the southern Hebei region had been found many times invading the base of the Communist Army stationed by the Communist Army, using the excuse of plundering the grain that farmers had just harvested, and had a conflict with the CCP guerrillas that arrived in time. Considering that the two sides were on the anti-Japanese united front, the Kuomintang and Communist troops were still restrained, after a brief confrontation, the Kuomintang and Communist troops withdrew back to their original garrison.

In early June, the Japanese and puppet troops launched another sweep, targeting the superior units of the 12th District Team. It looked like they had just swept the small ones, but they did not forget to sweep the old ones to avenge the attack of Renqiu County. Nearly 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops were transported by sea and suddenly launched an attack from the coastal area. With the surrender of the Kuomintang army in the original Shandong War Zone, the puppet army was familiar with the terrain and a large number of spies were infiltrated. By June 4, the bases in the coastal areas of the 11th Division had to be detained one after another. The main force of the Third Regiment had to draw troops to attract the Japanese and puppet troops to sweep the main force and constantly deal with the enemy in the base area.

However, the puppet army, as the main force of the sweeping force, boasted about the tiger's accomplice, and the puppet army wanted to recover lost territory and drove back where the third independent regiment of the 11th Division came from.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the so-called destruction of China in three months or three years had long been blown up until it was gone. Perhaps years of sweeping did not show much effect. The Eighth Route Army was still alive and its life was getting more and more prosperous. The veterans of the Japanese and puppet army's strongholds were almost replaced one or several times, and their combat effectiveness was no longer the same. At that time, the military quality of the new recruits was excellent. In 1943, the military operations of the Japanese and puppet army in the entire North China were reduced a lot than before. Except for a few areas, the puppet army was still sweeping with the main force of the puppet army, it seemed that most Japanese and puppet troops in the public security areas were in a rest period, and the Japanese new recruits who had newly added to the public security areas were stepping up their adaptation to the local security operations.

The Japanese offensive tended to calm down, but the development of the situation was still unstable for the CCP base areas, as if it was cooperating with the Japanese army to rest and recuperate. There was a faint unstable trend of junction with the Kuomintang-controlled area in the south of the base areas such as Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia. A large number of unidentified personnel appeared in the base areas. After being arrested by special forces and local guerrillas, it was found that except for a very small number of them were traitors and Japanese spies, most of the unidentified people were spies with different identities such as the Kuomintang and Military Affairs Bureau.

Food! Since the War of Resistance Against Japan, fools may know the importance of food. Originally, the National Government was disdainful of the poor areas of economically weak bases, but the bases for self-reliance and large-scale production have become a hot commodity. The bases should not only beware of the Japanese's mobilization anytime and anywhere, but also beware of the National Army's use of various excuses to invade the bases to fight for the autumn wind to take advantage of the situation.

On June 16, the Huxi area of ​​the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base was attacked by the Kuomintang army. At the junction of Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia and the Guotong District, the Kuomintang troops were frequently mobilized, and they wanted to point the finger at the base. The main force of the 358th Brigade of the 120th Division was quickly mobilized. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party mobilized each other and sent troops to each other. The atmosphere inside the anti-Japanese united front became extremely tense.

However, Li Wei unexpectedly received a letter from Zhao Lei, a college classmate of this era and the commander of the 206th Division of the 9th Army. This was also the first letter from the Kuomintang-controlled area after the situation of the Anti-Japanese War was slightly stabilized. Although the letter had been walking on the road for more than a month, after being inspected by both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the envelope was damaged and the handwriting was blurred when it arrived at Li Wei.

Zhao Lei's letter mostly happened after breaking up with Li Wei last time. What made Li Wei laugh the most was that this kid was also packed and sold. Zhao Lei was forced to engage in a wealthy businessman's daughter with a gun and pressed against the head by the old man. Although Zhao Lei had the intention of not having a family matter, he had no choice but to arrange a marriage with his parents. With Zhao's father's family tradition, soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty, and agreed to agree, and agreed to disagree.

However, Li Wei could also understand Zhao Lei's father's behavior. He fought on the battlefield and fought on the battlefield. With the idea that there was no future in this era, he would not be able to die at any time. At this time, Zhao Lei left a man and half a woman to the Zhao family, which was worthy of his ancestors. At the end of the letter, Zhao Lei was still worried about the situation. The situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan was slightly better, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had a tendency to continue fighting in groups, which also made Li Wei very worried. Although he came to this era unexpectedly from the future, all kinds of uncontrollable factors made him unable to change the wheel of history regardless of any effort. It was probably even if he came to this era that was determined by history.

Although this is just an ordinary letter between friends, it would not be easy to pass the layers of review and transfer it to Li Wei. Li Wei still felt a trace of abnormality in Zhao Lei's words in the letter. Suddenly conflicts between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were rife, and I am afraid that they would have nothing to do with the Japanese. Judging from historical records, the Japanese have been infiltrating the top leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Since the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Japanese spies have appeared with important members of the Chinese military and political departments.

After receiving the letter from Zhao Lei, Li Wei was not polite and replied with a blackmail letter with no conscience. Among the students of the same class, Zhao Lei was the best in his class. No matter what, his subordinates were the commanders with thousands of troops. He has been a small platoon leader until now. He doesn't eat anyone who does not eat the big family. In the reply, Li Wei was chasing him by the Japanese devils and ran around the base area, lacking guns and medicine, and kept crying poor, and almost said that he would drag Zhao Lei, the commander of the country, to directly defeat the local tyrants and divide the land.

Until the grain harvest in the base area was completed, and under the harassment of the Japanese and national troops, the military and civilians of each base area finally collected most of the grain. During the grain harvest season, neither the Japanese and the Chinese Republic of China had the intention to launch a large-scale war. The first thing to do was to fill your stomach in almost the same year when civilization was destroyed by the war.

In early July, in response to the excuse of the National Army's anti-Japanese revolutionary base areas, the Communist Party of China, which was carrying out military operations, protested to the National Government three times in a row, demanding to stop attacking the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and notified all base areas to prepare for the worst-case situation of fighting on both sides.

The domestic situation suddenly became tense. The conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has been around for a long time. Major domestic trends began to run around to try to stop this change that hurts the relatives and the enemy is happy. The Japanese side was happy to see the two major forces in China fighting in a nest, and even sent spies to add fuel to each other between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and add fuel to the fire.

However, these three protests by the CCP were rarely responded quickly. The National Government did not turn a blind eye, open his eyes to tell lies, or shirk responsibility, or play the ball like before. It only explained the bandit suppression operation with the word "misunderstanding". It honestly and unceremoniously withdrew the army. The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region quickly returned to peace. Perhaps the National Government was afraid of unilaterally destroying the agreement on the anti-Japanese united front, causing the whole country to collectively turn to the CCP. On the other hand, after a small-scale tentative attack, the National Government saw the strength of the CCP, blocked it in all aspects, forcing the Eighth Route Army to reliably and arm the strong combat power of the teeth after self-reliance, which shows that the CCP's army can not only fill its stomach, but also greatly improve its military strength.
