Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

At this moment, the voice of Chief of Staff Yukio Kasahara came from the side.

"Commander, General Shinozuka is right. Right now, our locust army needs to consider the real situation in North China."

"The most urgent task is to restore the strength of the locust army!"

After hearing the chief of staff's words, Tada Shun nodded helplessly.

Suddenly, Yukio Kasahara continued.

"However, Your Excellency the Commander, we can still draw upon the strength of several other forces to contain the Eighth Route Army in North China!"

Hearing this, Tada Shun suddenly became interested.

"Oh? What do you think, Kasahara-kun?"

When Yukio Kasahara heard Tada Shun's question, he stood up and bowed to his colleagues before beginning to speak.

"Gentlemen, please look at the current situation in North China!" After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the map at the front of the conference room.

Everyone present also looked at the map of North China hanging in front of them as Yukio Kasahara said.

Yukio Kasahara pointed to the symbols of various forces distributed around North China and said.

"Everyone, although my North China Locust Army has to reduce its forces due to losses."

"However, our opponents are facing more than just the Locust Army!"

Yukio Kasahara said with confidence.

"Although the various forces in China are now forced to work together because of the locust army, the locust army has suffered heavy losses. What will happen next?"

"Everyone, North China is too vast. It is impossible for the locust army to maintain such a large area alone. We can use the locust army to help the locust army consolidate the occupied areas."

"At the same time, our main focus on North China shifted from the Nationalist Army in North China to the Eighth Route Army, especially Zeng Jiwen's 389th Division in southeastern Shanxi."

"I think we can still talk to the guy from Jin about this unit."

After hearing what Yukio Kasahara said, Tada Shun suddenly had an epiphany.

Yes, based on Tada Shun's understanding of China, I'm afraid that the people in southern China and Shanxi are probably thinking about the Eighth Route Army. If they stir up trouble again, the locust army will be able to reap the benefits.

Thinking of this, Tada Shun's thoughts suddenly diverged. There were so many things that could be done about this.

So, after everyone discussed it for a while, Tada Shun gave Yoshio Shinozuka the task of contacting the person in Jindi.

Since the Eighth Route Army in North China is difficult to contain, then we must break through their fortress from within.

At the same time, Tada Shun also had an idea about the Chinese army that had been incorporated before. He decided to expand the current puppet army into the North China Security Army. In the original time and space, this did not start until a year later.

Tada Shun believed that as long as he waited until the locust army recovered its strength, and then wiped out the Eighth Route Army in North China in one fell swoop, and completely opened up the north and the south with a great victory, he and Chief of Staff Ishihara would be able to concentrate on dealing with the north.

That is to say, Zeng Jiwen was not there. If Zeng Jiwen heard this decision, he would definitely applaud, give Tada Shun a thumbs up, and give him a big surprise.

January 25, Tainan Military Region.

At this time, Zeng Jiwen was discussing with Zhou Shi, Wang Zhuo and others how to deal with some of the people below.

During this rectification movement, many people were severely punished.

Some personnel were even expelled and investigated, and the atmosphere of the entire base was completely renewed.

The arrogant atmosphere in the army was also severely dealt with by Huang Hanjia and Wu Lin, including those who spoke outrageously in school, who were directly dismissed from their posts.

Then, there was only one person left to deal with. Wu Lin originally wanted to give him a good beating, but this matter was difficult to handle. There had been no ban in this regard before, and other troops even encouraged self-reliance.

However, some problems arose and Wu Lin could not make up his mind for a while, so he sent the matter to the military district and asked Zeng Jiwen and others to discuss how to deal with it.

It turned out that Ding Wei, the commander of the 122nd Regiment of the Second Military Sub-district, secretly brewed wine with the local militia in Tangyin without telling his superiors, and sold it to the county town.

Zeng Jiwen and his men had known about this matter before. Ding Wei's local regiment had done this secretly in the Lincheng area. After Zeng Jiwen and his men expanded the army, they directly transferred the 122nd Regiment from Lincheng.

It was also specifically placed in the jurisdiction of the Second Column.

But unexpectedly, Ding Wei was still restless after arriving at the Second Military Sub-district. He colluded with the local regiment in Tangyin and secretly resumed his old business.

After learning about this, Zeng Jiwen handed the matter over to Wu Huanxian, the political commissar of the Second Column.

After the war, in order to punish Ding Wei, Wu Huanxian called Ding Wei to the military sub-district and let Ding Wei enjoy the treatment of Li Yunlong.

After working as a groom for a month, he was released and warned that if he did it again, he would not be a groom in the military sub-district anymore.

Originally, this matter would have passed, but when Wu Lin was dealing with military issues in southern Hebei, he discovered that this guy was simply unrepentant.

After learning the details of the situation, Wu Lin burst into laughter out of anger.

Well, the 122nd Regiment no longer makes wine, and has changed its business to become a wine dealer.

The task of brewing wine is now handed over to the local group in Tangyin.

At the same time, there is a serious problem here. This local group is the typical one Zeng Jiwen mentioned before.

Tangyin is located at the junction of southern Hebei and northern Henan, and its eastern part is a plain area.

Due to the war, a large amount of land was abandoned by refugees and became barren.

After the 389th Division moved in, in addition to distributing the land to local people in the surrounding rural areas, a large amount of unowned land remained. Finally, the local government handed over the land to the local regiment for management.

As a result, the local regiment was busy with training and did not want to farm, so they handed the land over to the local people and collected 30% of the grain as daily expenses for the local regiment.

After Wu Lin arrived in Tangyin for investigation, he found that the local regiment in Tangyin did not have much training. The regiment commander took the lead in setting up a winery to be responsible for brewing wine. The 122nd Regiment, as a field force, could be stationed anywhere and was responsible for selling the wine.

At the same time, the income was divided equally among the 122nd Regiment, the local regiment, and the local organization.

After dealing with the affairs of that local regiment, Wu Lin was a little troubled when it came to the 122nd Regiment's turn.

This matter can be a big deal or a small one. In reality, Ding Wei is a very cunning guy. He is not involved in winemaking now. He just takes the wine brewed by local areas and local groups to various places for sale.

But this matter cannot be calculated in this way. I told you not to make wine, but you are selling wine now, right?

Ding Wei also argued in front of Wu Lin, saying that they were self-reliant and had reduced the burden on the military region.

Hearing this, Wu Lin was so angry that he laughed.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this statement. The previous policy also had obvious loopholes. At least it was not allowed in Tainan.

But what Ding Wei said is also the current reality of each unit.

But this time Ding Wei obviously made a disciplinary mistake. After being warned twice, he became even worse. Wu Lin couldn't figure out how to deal with him for a while.

After thinking about it, he finally sent the situation to Zeng Jiwen.

"Commander, what do you plan to do?" Zhou Xi said to Zeng Jiwen after reading the information sent by Wu Lin.

After reading what Wu Lin said in the telegram, Zeng Jiwen frowned tightly.

After thinking for a while, Zeng Jiwen suddenly remembered something and a smile appeared on his face.

"Didn't Wu Lin and his team get the local authorities to formalize this brewery?"

"We're in need of a factory manager. Doesn't Ding Wei like brewing wine? Then let him be the brewery manager."

"I think you should stop being the head of the Tangyin regiment and become the deputy factory director instead!"
