At noon on May 2, after the combat operations everywhere were declared over, the remaining time was to eliminate the defeated soldiers and bandits, and carry out governance and rectification.

After this battle, the People's Army obtained the territory of a total of 15 counties including Huan County, Qingyang, Ning County, Pingliang, Haiyuan, Guyuan, etc. east of Quwushan and Liupanshan and west of Ziwuling. The Longdong area of ​​Gansu, with an area of ​​about 40,000 square kilometers, was all under the control of Zhao Zhenzhong and others.

In order to facilitate future operations and local governance, after the battle, the departments first redefine their respective defense zones based on the current garrison situation and after consultation: Xu Yuan's third column evacuated the south bank of the Jing River and took over the defense of the counties along the Malian River and Ziwuling; the defense of the Jing River and Shaanxi-Gansu border was responsible for Liu Jifeng's second column; considering the subsequent combat tasks, Wang Fengshan's artillery column was strengthened to the third column; in order to facilitate his subsequent march into the Hedong area of ​​Ningxia, Chen Zhiyuan's unit of the First Column was temporarily responsible for the defense of Haiyuan and Guyuan's front line east of Qu Wushan; the teaching column was stationed in the Zhenshan headquarters and Yang Tianming's special column led by the special column to guard Huan County; the majority of the special column was stationed in the Zhenyuan area of ​​Longdong central area to meet other parties at any time.

After confirming the defense zone, Yang Tianming's troops began to take over the identification and management of more than 16,000 prisoners in this battle. At the same time, they sent people to assist other columns and county government staff to investigate the people in their respective areas to eliminate suspicious elements and maintain public order within the country.

The order Yang Tianming issued to relevant personnel of the Special Column is simple and clear:

First, the more than 16,000 prisoners were organized into four prisoners' camps, and then the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and the big smoke ghosts were eliminated;

2. All prisoners are hungry for three days. According to the prisoners' confession, the prisoners from the same unit or from the same township are gathered together and designated by them;

3. If the confession is correct in all aspects, provide food and inject it into the labor camp; if the lie is now detained separately and deal with it in an alternative way; if the details of others are revealed in the prisoner's camp, the person who exposes the lives of the exposed person; if the suspicious words and deeds of others are revealed in the labor camp, the person who exposes them will improve their lives and shorten the period of labor service; if the situation is true in the labor camp, the person who exposes them to have doubts about others and the situation is true, the person who is in the labor camp will improve their lives and shorten the period of labor service;

4. Those who wear glasses will be severely investigated and punished.

After seeing the order given by Yang Tianming, Liu Jifeng and others grinned.

"Dawn, you are provoking conflicts between them and encouraging them to reveal their true feelings. This idea of ​​killing people with a soft knife is a bit detrimental." Liu Jifeng smiled.

"If so many prisoners are apart, it's time for us to have a headache." Yang Tianming made sense. "After identifying it, he will work hard every day and his diet will not improve. In a few days, someone will definitely not be able to resist protesting and exposing others' opinions. The feeling of hunger is really bad."

Liu Jifeng and others were rescued by Kuang Zhenjue, Li Tongsheng and others from the edge of life and death. They still remember the feeling of being hungry and sticking to the spine. After listening to Yang Tianming's explanation, Xu Yuan sighed quietly: "This is a test for them."

"If you are truly innocent, naturally no one will reveal it, or what we reveal is not what we want. If there is really a problem, it is generally difficult to escape this level." Yang Tianming added, "I also specifically ordered that if the current person gives his meals to others a few times, then lock up the person who lets the meals alone and then think about it. There is always a way to let them speak."

"This idea is really bad. Is this obviously hard to be a good person?" Chen Zhiyuan sighed.

"Zhiyuan, although I didn't go too hungry when I followed my father to help my husband raise silkworms, I heard many brothers talk about the experience of starving. In the situation where I was so hungry that I could give up the only food in my hands to others without knowing my life and death tomorrow, then the relationship between the two parties would definitely be extraordinary. If these two people were not close or not, and came from different places, there would definitely be problems with this." Yang Tianming sighed, "I know this idea was a bit harmful, but we could not kill all these prisoners. When the labor camps were engaged in construction in Longdong, those who were interested in hiding them would inevitably have some clues, and might even connect us with the guards. We can't take this risk."

"How could we connect with the guards?" Wang Fengshan said in confusion.

"We have tens of thousands of people, not one or two. Not that our occasional conversations may fall into the ears of those who are interested, we say that the Shaanxi-Gansu dialect mixed with Shandong flavor in the mouths of many of our soldiers is a big loophole." Xu Yuan, who understood in his heart, smiled bitterly, "No wonder Mr. asked us to hand over all these prisoners to the Special Corps for handling. Only Tianming and the others went to the northwest first. The dialect spoke the most fluently and basically had no Shandong flavor."

Wang Fengshan and others then realized it.

"Tianming, no matter how bad your ideas are, you can do it. If someone threatens our affairs and the plan that threatens Mr., no matter who it is, we will definitely not let them go!" After understanding the truth, Liu Jifeng supported Yang Tianming.

"That's right! We all mean this too!" Xu Yuan, Chen Zhiyuan, Wang Fengshan, Yu Zhenshan and others nodded.

"Don't worry, brothers, I will definitely be able to pull out those 'bed bugs'." Yang Tianming smiled confidently, "Okay, let's continue to discuss something else."

...

The task of the special column has been clarified. In addition to completing daily training tasks, several other columns are also responsible for assisting the county government staff to organize the people to carry out production and construction activities.

The area of ​​Longdong is two and a half-large in the Yimeng base area, but the population is not that large. According to rough statistics, the population of the 15 counties in Xinde area is only more than 50,000 points, less than half of the current population of the Yimeng base area. Among the more than 50,000 people, except for a very small number of local tyrants and evil gentry, most of them are civilians and poor people. Moreover, due to years of famine, the vast majority of the population is hungry or semi-hungry.

After roughly understanding the current situation in the Longdong area, Yang Tianming, Liu Jifeng, Xu Yuan, Chen Zhiyuan and others who stayed in Zhenyuan for the battle summary meeting were in a heavy mood.

"Although I had expected that the situation in Longdong would not be good, I didn't expect it to be such a mess." Liu Jifeng scratched his head and said in a depressed mood. "At present, the population of more than 50,000 is not only unable to provide us with supplies, but also requires us to rescue at least until autumn. This is a big problem. Fortunately, our troops do not need to seize food from the people, otherwise it will be even more troublesome."

"The problem is indeed a problem." Chen Zhiyuan also frowned and sighed, "However, our problem is not the lack of supplies to help the people, but the inability to transport the supplies from overseas to domestically transported to Longdong as soon as possible. Although a lot of supplies have been transported to Dongsheng, from Dongsheng to us, we still need to pass through northern Shaanxi and the ground in Hedong, Ningxia, and the transportation of transportation of materials from the east of Hedong in Ningxia will not be smooth. In addition, by July, the Yellow River will enter the flood season again, and the transportation of materials from external to Dongsheng will be interrupted for several months."

"What I have troubled with now is the supplementary shells." Wang Fengshan was also a little frowning, "After participating in this battle, the artillery column had 12 75 artillery pieces, with 15 shells left in each of them; 4 1 mortars had 1 shell left in each. This ammunition reserve is not enough to fight another battle like this."

"In fact, it is not only the replenishment of artillery shells in the cannon column, but the mortars equipped by the first, second, third and special columns also face the shortage of artillery shells. In addition, the steps and machine gun bullets of each unit also need to be supplemented." Xu Yuan sneered his eyebrows and added, "However, we are now pretending to be the name of Chen Guizhang's army and blocking the passage from Longdong to the outside. This should be a month to slow down for us. We should hurry up and replenish combat supplies. When the Ningxia battle begins later, the pressure we face will be even greater. In the area east of Helan Mountain in Ningxia, the enemy does not have much strength, and the Chen Hailan army of the first column can solve the problem. But the surrounding forces can't ignore the attack on us."

"There are also problems of searching out the defeated soldiers and eliminating bandits in the territory." Yu Zhenshan said, "Although we have eliminated many more powerful bandits such as Tan Shilin, Zhang Tingzhi, and Li Peixiao in the Longdong area, some bandits are still wandering in the countryside. We should clear these guys as soon as possible."

"In general, what we are facing now is the three aspects of replenishing combat materials, rescuing the people and stabilizing the place." After listening to the difficulties raised by several people, Yang Tianming sorted out his ideas and said, "The first two of these three aspects involve material transportation, and can only be solved through coordination with the teacher. Of course, we must try our best to ensure the safety of the material channels leading from Dingbian and Yanchi to Longdong."

"We can only rely on the outside to replenish combat materials. However, in addition to the external supplies, we also need to organize the people to save themselves. It is unrealistic to rely entirely on our 40,000 troops for the food of these 50,000 people. Didn't sir transport a lot of sweet potatoes to Huan County? We should hurry up and build some nursery warm kangs to let the sweet potato sprout and grow seedlings. After more than half a month, when the sweet potato seedlings grow until the chopsticks are long, the rainy season should also come, so that the people can hurry up and plant them. In this way, at least after autumn, the food problem of these 50,000 people can solve a big problem."

"As for the stability, it is the task of our garrisons and political staff. Since they are all bandits, I suggest sending teams from companies and platoons to clear them. This is not difficult."

"Since we talk about the rainy season, we have to prepare for flood control in advance." Xu Yuan added, "Although the land is smoked when it is drought, but the drought is severe and water conservancy is disrepair, it is easier to have problems during the flood season. People need to organize maintenance of the embankments such as Huanjiang, Malian River, and Jing River. We try to think about the problems more comprehensively and meticulously, and we cannot rely on our teacher for everything. At the beginning, Mr. led us to create the Yimeng Base and build it into a worldly Taoyuan. Now we can also build Longdong."

"I agree with everyone's opinions. In addition, the matters of organizing the people should not be underestimated by the matters related to movements." Liu Jifeng also suggested at this time, "For those local tyrants, evil gentry, corrupt officials, arrest what should be arrested and kill what should be killed! The cleaned-up materials can also be distributed to the people to alleviate the pressure on our material supply. We must also seize the issue of land distribution. This is a big problem of whether we can get the support of the people and whether we can gain a foothold in Longdong."

...

Everyone asked the problem first, then found ways to solve the problem, and complemented each other, but basically solved the current difficulties.

On the afternoon of the 29th, before the crowd scattered, Yang Tianming suggested: "I think we will report the previous battle summary report, the difficulties we are facing now and the solutions we have proposed, and the teacher will deal with it according to the situation. If there are other problems, we will communicate in time through telegram."

"No problem. Let's call Mr. together." Liu Jifeng replied.

Immediately, the "Summary Report on the Longdong Battle" and the "State Analysis Report on the Longdong Region" jointly signed by Yang, Liu, Xu, Chen, Wang and Yu were sent to Zhao Zhenzhong via telegram.

At noon on the 2nd, after the Battle of Longdong ended, Yang Tianming and others jointly sent a call to Zhao Zhenzhong to report the general results. Now, he received two reports from Yang Tianming and others, and Zhao Zhenzhong was extremely happy after reading it.
