Chapter 294 How to Get Qiluban to Specialize in Water Conservancy

Half an hour later, the small meeting officially ended, and Huang He left the venue first.

Regarding the many opinions and predictions he put forward tonight, the big guys said that it will take some time to digest, not to mention whether to send troops depends on the attitude of the border area.

Seeing his fellow villager appear, Li Yunlong, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up the folder in front of him and went to greet him.

"Old Huang, you finally came out. I will have to fall asleep after a while."

"This is the information you mentioned before. I specifically asked Political Commissar Zhao to help find it. Please hurry up and see if there is anything missing in the content."

"What was the general content of the meeting just now? Is it about the detailed arrangements for combat in the Suiyuan area? Is there anything I can listen to?"

Although Li Yunlong is still only a regiment leader in name, their 1st Marine Regiment is now a unit directly under the headquarters, so there is no problem in talking to him about the strategic direction and goals.

After thinking for a moment, Huang He talked about the strength of the Kwantung Army and its impact on the Eighth Route Army without getting into the specific content of the meeting.

Lao Li is not a reckless man now. After hearing that 200,000 enemies may enter the pass for support at any time, the Mongolian army fell into thinking.

Seeing that the other party was about to get into trouble, Huang He quickly spoke:

"Okay, don't think too much."

"The specific arrangements will be notified by the deputy commander-in-chief. You can just do your training as normal."

"Come, come with me to see how Qilu Half is developing in the Suiyuan area, and study how it is better than Yan Laoxi."

For most modern people, the provincial administrative region of Suiyuan will be relatively unfamiliar. After all, the four provinces in northern Saibei were successively abolished decades ago.

Even if you are a fan of 7+ coloring games, it is difficult to connect with the terrain of later generations without looking at the map, let alone understand the local development history.

After reading it carefully, Huang He immediately understood why the other party dared to ask for help, and then said with great emotion:

"Qi Lu Ban is indeed worthy of his reputation. Just in terms of his learning and management abilities, he is definitely unique in the entire Guo Prefecture."

"As expected of a silent man of action, he managed Suiyuan to such an extent in just ten years of administration. He actually managed agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, finance, industry and commerce, and transportation while ensuring military development."

"It seems that his trump card is the same as ours, which is the support of the people."

The information in Huang He's hands came from the base area in northwestern Shanxi, and was collected by Zhao Gang when he was presiding over the entrance examination of the 1st Marine Regiment.

The data records in detail the economic development and changes in the Suiyuan area under the seven-and-a-half-way administration in the ten years from 1931 to 1941.

In the first days, the entire province was plagued by banditry.

Landowners, officers, soldiers and bandits colluded with each other, resulting in local security ranking last in the entire Republic of China. Even warlords' troops might be robbed when passing by.

In such a bad situation, the living environment of ordinary people is absolutely dire.

After Qilu took office, he first deployed most of his troops along the railway to suppress bandits.

After solving the biggest problems, they began to rectify finance, establish water conservancy, develop production, and plant trees, which completely stabilized the situation in the province.

Under his governance, Suiyuan's light industry was relatively developed, and flour mills, sugar mills, and woolen mills were flourishing.

It is worth mentioning that there are dozens of large and small highways in the entire province, which are very convenient for both passenger transportation and marching.

Although due to insufficient congenital conditions, the Suiyuan region does not have the ability to create its own automobile manufacturing industry. However, each county has a group of skilled vehicle repair technicians, which has laid a solid foundation for future motorized troops.

It is precisely because of the above advantages, coupled with the grain output in the Hetao area, that Suiyuan became a stable rear area for preserved fruits during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War.

After hearing Huang He's comments, Li Yunlong beside him raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? During Guo Preserved's winter offensive, only seven and a half of them were able to achieve results."

"The victory of the Bailingmiao Battle, Baotou Battle, Suixi Battle, and Wuyuan Battle was indispensable for the support of the people. He has extremely high prestige and popular base in the Suiyuan area."

"I really don't know what Baldhead is thinking, giving up such an excellent general."

Apart from surprise attacks, the Seven and a half are best at defensive operations.

However, with his current troops alone, there is no way he can fight with three divisions and two brigades, not to mention that the enemy also has some armored forces and army aviation.

The most helpless thing is that the current military strength is already the limit of what can be achieved. After all, he only occupied ten counties in Suixi, with a population of only 390,000.

Even if we try our best to operate and construct, we cannot make the manpower increase in a vacuum.

If the Eighth Route Army did not go north to support them, the only fate waiting for them would be to be defeated by the Japanese, or to voluntarily abandon the foundation they had built up over the years and retreat to the northwest.

The reason why Huang He asked Li Yunlong to help collect information was to see if there was a way to regain Suiyuan without destroying the united front.

After all, without taking the four provinces in Saibei, it would be difficult to go directly north to regain more lost territory.

What's more, Huang He knows one thing. The strength and ambition of the Seven and a Half Road will expand rapidly in the next four years, and it will become a formidable enemy in the border area.

The best way to deal with it is to take this opportunity to let the other party build water conservancy projects.

······

Just when Huang He was worried, two middle-aged men were talking in a command post far away in Houtao.

"Brother Yisheng, I can't get to where I am today without your help."

"That Yan Baichuan is really too much, he actually asked me to attack the defeated soldiers of the friendly army! In this way, my reputation, Chen Jieshan, will be stinking in the whole country!"

"Shameless old thief, you deserve to lose the whole Shanxi."

Hearing the abuse of his brother, Qiluban showed a helpless bitter smile, he naturally knew the other party's affairs.

After the winter offensive ended that year, Guofu's 90th Army suffered heavy losses.

Yan Laoxi, who had always coveted the equipment of the Central Army, was ready to take action and sent his subordinates to confiscate the equipment of the defeated soldiers of the friendly army.

This kind of thing will inevitably leave a bad reputation, so Chen Jieshan did not execute the order, which eventually led to the loss of military power. For the sake of his career and safety, he came to devote himself, and now he has the identity of a lieutenant general deputy commander-in-chief.

"Let's not talk about the past. Now we need to work together in the face of a powerful enemy."

"I have contacted the Eighth Route Army through the bearded man of the 120th Division. Given their style of doing things, they will definitely not stand by and watch us die."

"When the time comes, we will fight together! Maybe we will have a chance to recover the lost territory of the entire province! Strive to make Suiyuan the second liberated area!"

Compared with the Seventh Route and a Half, Chen Jieshan's mind is obviously smaller.

Although the picture just described is indeed beautiful, he is very wary of the Eighth Route Army.

"Brother Yisheng, it won't happen that it's easier to invite a god than to send him away."

"Suiyuan is the foundation of both of us. I don't want to be driven away again after finally getting a piece of land."

"······"

"Don't worry, the people will stand on our side."
