Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said almost word for word: "I have emphasized more than once that the entire country is a chess game without anyone, and no one can do it. A single beauty is not spring, and a thousand colors are spring. Now the North China brothers The troops suffered heavy losses under the continuous sweeps by the Japanese and puppet troops, and now they have lost the essence of North China's Jizhong Plain."
"I once said that Jizhong is the granary and warehouse of soldiers for North China. It can be said to be the military depot and financial source of the entire North China. Losing Jizhong means that the entire North China has lost its food and material supplies, and there is no Jizhong Plain. Without support, I'm afraid the major base areas in North China will have a hard time."
"Although the raids by the Japanese and puppet troops have gradually begun to weaken, as the Japanese army in North China has fully realized its cage plan, the blockade is becoming increasingly tight. At present, the North China army is raising supplies for the winter. It must be quite difficult.
"During this campaign, the fraternal troops in North China have made such a great contribution to us. Now they are encountering serious difficulties themselves. We must not sit idly by and ignore them. We are well fed and clothed without caring about our brothers. The life and death of the troops is definitely not our style."
"After you go back, call the central government and ask the central government to count the amount of cotton that our major military regions in Taihang, Taiyue, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei cannot raise for winter clothing this year, and ask the central government to help establish air transportation lines, and ask the major military regions to select Determine a stable and reliable airdrop location and develop detailed contact signals.”
"And please ask the central government to provide our aviation troops stationed in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region with a batch of detailed maps of North China, especially detailed maps of major military regions, and order our aviation troops stationed in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region to deploy the best transport aircraft and the best pilots. , be ready for airdrops at any time.”
"While formulating a strict airdrop plan, we must also make a plan for escort, dispatch a group of P-40 fighter jets, and prepare for escort. We must ensure that these materials are safely delivered to our northern China troops. If these four After negotiating with the C46 transport plane, after returning to China, they will not stay in the base area and all will be transferred to Yan'an."
"The load capacity of one C-46 can be carried by two C-47 and Li-2 transport aircraft. Although the fuel consumption is a bit larger, the one-time transportation volume has also increased. With the C-46 as the main transport aircraft, it can significantly increase "To reduce the number of transport aircraft dispatched by our military and ensure the safety of air traffic lines."
"In addition, the central government is requested to assist us as much as possible in raising a batch of sheep skins, wool, and some goat skins. Even in exchange, it can also solve the shortage of winter clothing replacement materials for our army. Since we want to use sheep skins instead of cotton products, then We still need to make more preparations.”
"Lao Li, Lao Guo, Ningxia's tan sheepskin is world-famous. When the central sheepskin arrives, I will have someone prepare a tan sheepskin hat for each of you two. Let the two brothers become rich. If you can get it, When it comes to purple lambskin, it’s even higher quality.”
Li Yanping didn't pay attention to Yang Zhen's kind teasing, but as for his thoughts, Li Yanping pondered for a while and shook his head: "Old Yang, the thing is like this, but the problems here are not as you imagined. It’s as simple as asking the central government to reduce the supply as appropriate, but we have nothing to do.”
"After we received the telegram from the Central Committee, we did not fail to think of a way. The commander-in-chief, who was negotiating with the Soviet side, even coordinated with the Soviet side, hoping to use barter to purchase 500,000 yuan from the Soviet side. kilograms of cotton to meet the needs of the central government."
"But the Soviet Union has always been hesitant about this matter and has never had a clear attitude. Kovalev told me privately that cotton is now also a strictly controlled strategic material in the Soviet Union. Without the approval of the base camp, they can't buy a pound of cotton. The cotton won’t be sold either.”
"And the Soviet Union, after the loss of Ukraine, it is difficult for cotton production to meet its own needs. Now all the cotton in the Far East, except for the Far East for its own use this year, the original reserves have been shipped to the Western Front. As for transportation, Wherever he goes, he has no comment."
"At present, the Soviet Union has entered the most difficult period, and there is extremely slim hope for Moscow to approve this matter. The Soviet Union is now about to enter winter. All original plans have been disrupted, and the loss of reserve materials is staggering. Under such circumstances, all materials that can be used for military purposes are strictly controlled materials, and the approval authority rests with Moscow."
"In this matter, what he can do is coordinate the Far East Military Region to provide us with some old sheepskin short coats specially used by the Soviet Siberian troops. Their reserve of such old coats is still very large, as well as a batch of production Felt for boots, but the quantity will not be too much. As for the purchase of cotton, let’s not talk about it now. Let us think of other ways, otherwise it will easily delay things.”
"As for Peng Dingjie coordinating the Americans to meet our second batch of cotton imports as soon as possible, let alone whether we can negotiate it, we can negotiate it. We have to solve transportation problems, export procedures, and a series of other issues. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to guarantee arrival before the entire army changes gear.”
"You have to know that this batch of cotton was ordered from the United States in the spring. It took several months before it was shipped to the port of the Soviet Union. According to this efficiency, it may be difficult to transport the subsequent supplies before the freeze. If you insist If we want to increase the supply, we must make all preparations to prevent the winter clothing that is urgently needed by the troops and the people from being unable to be issued."
"If it's not too difficult to have no winter clothes in North China and Shaanxi, then here, if we don't have thick enough winter clothes, the troops will freeze to death without having to fight. We all came from that time, and the troops didn't have winter clothes. We have all tasted it, Lao Yang, I understand your thoughts, but we must take precautions in advance."
"And part of our second batch of imported cotton is going to be put into the market to ensure supply for people's livelihood, and the rest is going to be used to spin cotton cloth for the troops to refit the troops next spring. It will be used in advance now, and next year's plan But everything was disrupted.”
"If we can meet the needs of the central government as you said, then we can only focus our main energy on livestock products. Based on the number of sheep raised in the base area, which is more than one million in total, we can If you want to only meet the needs of the troops, you can still do it."
"In addition, if northern Shaanxi can provide some sheepskin, it can basically meet the needs, but wool is probably difficult. To make a sheepskin coat, you need hairy skin. We can't just shave the wool and spin it all into wool. , and then peel off the sheepskin and make it into a coat. That kind of leather can't be used for anything, let alone making winter clothes."
"A sheep only has one skin, so we can't use it for both purposes. Moreover, the wool spinning factories in Harbin, which produce some wool or make some felts, are difficult to expand in terms of production capacity and raw material sources. To produce a sufficient amount of woolen coats in a short period of time, even Soviet-style tweed with a relatively simple production process is difficult to meet the demand."
"But this is also a solution. After I go back, I will discuss it with the commander-in-chief and my brother to see how many suede sheepskin coats or short sheepskin coats we can produce with our best efforts as winter clothes for the troops, so that we can equip them with such The troops with short coats are only issued cotton trousers to save some cotton, but I think we can talk to the central government about the wool issue."
"The Soviet troops stationed in Siberia are equipped with a short sheepskin coat that is a little bit longer than the waist. I think it is quite good. It is warm and lightweight. The most fundamental thing is to save materials. As for the duffel coat, I think it is better to forget it. Well, our woolen mills, even if they produce at full capacity, can't produce enough woolen cloth, and the stuff is too short to be useful, and it's too long and bulky, affecting the movement of the troops."
"With all that wool, it's better to issue an extra sweater to the troops. The climate here is not much different from that of Siberia. A sheepskin coat alone is still a bit weak in keeping out the cold. At least it needs to be added with a thin cotton jacket. Or a thick sweater to withstand the cold winter in northern Manchuria."
"If enough wool can be raised, I suggest giving out thick sweaters as much as possible. However, sweaters may still be a new thing to women in other places and they are not very good at knitting. However, Harbin women have a greater influence from the Russians. Most of them know how to knit it, and if it is issued to the troops, they don’t need any tricks, just the simplest style.”
"We can absolutely use the several wool spinning mills in our hands to spin the wool into yarn and distribute it to the women to mobilize them to make part of it for us. There are also Belarusian women. We can also mobilize their assistance. In this way, we can solve the problem of Harbin alone. It is difficult for the Chinese to meet their own needs, and most women from other places do not know how to knit sweaters."
"At the same time, we will also solve the livelihood difficulties of this group of Belarusians, but the key now is to be able to find a sufficient amount of wool to make winter clothes. The sheep cannot be sheared. If they are not sheared, they will not get the wool to make wool. If Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia If the Shanxi-Sui area can't exchange enough wool with us, then we won't be able to meet the sweater needs of hundreds of thousands of troops."
"But Lao Yang, we need more than just cotton-padded clothes. The quilts used by the troops in winter are at least twice as thick as those of the troops in North China. There are also cotton gloves, cotton hats, and cotton shoes. The original equipment we have in hand The captured Kwantung Army inventory, after being used the year before last and last year, there is not much left."
"And this year, we need to add the winter clothes and quilts for the advancing troops, as well as the needs of the people in the base area, as well as the single military uniforms needed by the troops in other seasons, all of which need cotton to be spun into cotton cloth. In addition to eating, the people also have to When it comes to clothing, in addition to cotton-padded clothes in winter, single clothes are needed in spring and autumn, and cool clothes are needed in summer.”
"People also need quilts, towels and other supplies. And with the increasing expansion of industrial construction in the base areas, we have mobilized a large number of people, and even a large number of housewives, to go to cities and enter factories. The homespun cloth in rural areas The output is already getting lower and lower.”
"Needless to say anything else, we used the textile machinery handed over by the Americans as well as the two cotton spinning mills and three woolen spinning mills handed over by Xiao Yuan's father, as well as several large-scale cotton spinning and mills that were expanded based on the original woolen spinning mill in Qiqihar. The Woolen Textile Factory recruited more than 5,000 housewives from several surrounding counties to work in the factory at the beginning of this spring."
"With the urban population seriously unable to meet their needs, various factories have turned their attention to the countryside. Now it is an increasingly common phenomenon for rural people to work in factories, and as the construction of various factories is gradually completed, more and more people enter the city. The number of working rural people will gradually increase." This book was first published on 17K Novel Network, read the original content first!
