Now the population of the entire North Manchu base area is allocated according to the same strict plan. From where people can be mobilized to work in factories, there are strict standards for how much to mobilize. Even a provincial party committee secretary or provincial government chairman can mobilize
The number of rural people entering the city is not allowed to exceed 1,000. Mobilization of more than 1,000 people must go to the Northeast People's Government Chairman's Office Meeting for approval.
Faced with the situation where the plan must be strictly implemented even in terms of population utilization, Yang Zhen, the initiator of this method, often ridiculed himself, saying that this was the most thorough planned economy in the world. What the Soviets did was worse than the anti-Japanese war.
The United States’ planned economy, which even plans population, is far from perfect.
The system implemented in the Anti-Japanese Alliance base areas where even the population must be strictly planned and distributed is called true communism. Even the population is distributed according to need. This is not true communism. What else is it? The Big Brother of the Soviet Union
, also failed to do this.
Oh, this chairman's office meeting was proposed by Yang Zhen. After all, the Northeast Bureau's Standing Committee cannot be held every day just because of how many people are allocated and how many materials are approved. The Northeast People's Government is the main executive unit of the Northeast Bureau's formulated policies.
Let the Northeast People's Government have a headache with such complicated matters.
Yang Zhen is the second secretary of the Northeast Bureau and does not hold any position in the Northeast People's Government. The military region's deputy chairman and mobilization director in the Northeast People's Government is Director Xiang of the Political Department. The rest of the people in the Northeast People's Government have no
Any part-time job.
He did this to prevent too many trivial matters from interfering with himself and the military region's thinking in certain aspects. Therefore, he copied the government office meetings of later generations and created such a chairman's office meeting. Anyway, as long as the Northeast Bureau grasps the general direction, it can
Well, the government should be responsible for the real implementation. As for the Northeast Bureau Standing Committee that requires Yang Zhen to participate, it is better to have as few meetings as possible.
Under the current circumstances, not to mention meeting the needs of the advancing army to replenish troops, even the Anti-Japanese Alliance itself. If the mobilization speed of the new area cannot keep up, it may be difficult to complete the need to replenish troops. According to the needs of the army in the next stage of operations
, this time at least four to six new divisions will be formed.
In addition to the need to restore the almost depleted local troops and make up for the casualty gap in this battle, at least 200,000 young adults need to be mobilized to join the army. This is very important for the current population of the base area and the future construction tasks.
The difficulty can be imagined.
You must know that excluding the newly liberated areas in this battle, Binjiang Province, the original most populous area in the entire base area, has a population of only 4 million. Longjiang Province, the second largest, has a total population smaller than Binjiang Province.
More than half of it, only 2.0 million.
Of the 2.09 million people in Longjiang Province, more than half are located in the areas newly liberated by this battle. Before the launch of this battle, all of the areas under the jurisdiction of Sanjiang Province, the second most populous city in Manchuria, were actually
The total population of the jurisdiction is only over 1.4 million.
As for Mudanjiang Province, Bei'an Province, Dong'an Province, Hung Yen North Province, and Hung Yen East Province, the largest population is 300,000 to 400,000, while the smallest population is only over 100,000. The total population of the fifteen counties in Bei'an Province is only 2
More than 100,000 people. The combined population of Hung Yen North and Hung Yen East provinces is only this number.
The total population of these three provinces combined is not as much as that of a county in Guan Nei. The total population of Heihe Province, the smallest, is less than 100,000. It is said that the population is in the tens of millions, which is not what Yuan Long said.
Jiang Province's population of more than one million in the Japanese-controlled areas was also included in the calculation. In fact, this population was not under the control of the Anti-Japanese Alliance until the end of the battle.
The entire North Manchu base area, not counting the newly liberated areas in this battle. The total population of all counties and cities added together is not as good as the population of a Jizhong base area in the pass. And this also includes those who have now become prisoners,
There are more than 200,000 Japanese nationals and nearly 100,000 Belarusian and foreign nationals who cannot be recruited.
Judging from the ratio of the net population base that can be recruited, excluding the number of people who cannot be recruited, the current total strength of the Anti-Union Forces can be said to be quite large compared with the population resources. The entire North Manchu base area, not counting the newly liberated areas,
Now it is somewhat unbearable.
At the same time, in terms of population density, the population of various base areas in Northern Manchuria means that the pressure to support troops is much higher than that of various base areas within the pass. It is equivalent to an average county supporting tens of thousands of combat troops. In addition to the agencies,
The agricultural burden of industry, education, urban population and other non-agricultural populations in the entire North Manchu base is much higher than that in the pass.
If Yang Zhen had not formed the Production and Construction Corps and purchased a batch of mechanized agricultural equipment at all costs, a large amount of wasteland was reclaimed on the Sanjiang Plain, and the current cultivated land area has reached more than 7 million acres. The army and the Northeast
More than 80% of the food and meat needed by bureaus and schools has been fully borne by the Production and Construction Corps.
And implement a grain rationing system in the base area, and implement strict planning for agricultural production. Corn, wheat and other high-yielding crops are widely planted, and the sowing area of sorghum and millet is strictly controlled. I am afraid that just the problem of feeding these hundreds of thousands of troops will be a problem in Northern Manchuria.
The base area was crushed.
Food security is a top priority for the stability of the base area, and it is also a top priority for the stability of the people. With the production capacity of the Production and Construction Corps currently reaching its extreme, it is also important to ensure that agricultural production is not affected by war as much as possible.
It became the top priority of the Northeast Bureau.
The current agricultural population cannot be reduced unless all mechanization is achieved within a short period of time. If conscription is excessive, the impact on agricultural production will be fatal. After all, at present, in agricultural production, except for the Production and Construction Corps,
In addition to mechanization, most rural areas still rely on human and animal power. This situation will not change at all in the next few years.
The current production capacity of the Production and Construction Corps has been stretched to the extreme, and it is no longer able to provide more food. In the first half of this year, more than 2 million acres of cultivated land were newly reclaimed from the east bank of the Nenjiang River to Wudalianchi, and at the western foot of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains. Agricultural machinery has not yet been provided.
With a large amount of supplementation, it is difficult to increase production quickly in a short period of time, and it may be difficult to generate sufficient output in a short period of time.
The newly increased non-agricultural population can only be supported by the existing agricultural population. The existing agricultural population in the base area can no longer be reduced. Not to mention that the population potential of the old base area has been used to the extreme, it is the distribution of the population in the new liberated areas.
, it was already on the agenda of the Northeast Bureau meeting before this battle.
Although the total population of the newly liberated areas is not too large, it cannot be compared with southern Manchuria. However, except for the Changbai Mountains in the east and the grasslands, deserts, and mountain forests in the west, these areas are almost all the original main agriculture in the entire Northeast.
The region’s grain output turned out to be one of the best in the entire Northeast.
This newly increased grain production is very important to the future development of Northeast China. This area, in particular, is the main soybean producing area. Fishing cannot be done in the old area, and the same cannot be done in the new area. What's more, although the new area is large, the increase in area
The actual number of people is not that large.
In later liberation wars, the Northeast Field Army was able to grow to over a million men, but it did not always rely on supplementary troops recruited locally in the Northeast. At certain times, prisoners were the main source of supplementary troops. Even in some units, a battle
After the war, the number of liberation fighters in the army was far higher than the number of soldiers recruited.
However, although the number of Japanese prisoners captured by the Anti-Japanese Alliance is not too large, it is still quite a lot. Coupled with the captured Japanese expatriates, the number is still quite large. However, these Japanese soldiers and Japanese expatriates may be used as supplementary troops.
Replenish the army?
If Yang Zhen had not insisted on sending them to the mines for labor reform in order to supplement the seriously insufficient labor force, I am afraid that some cadres of the Political Department, especially some cadres who came from the pass, still held the concept of reforming the Japanese prisoners of war in the pass, and would not have sent them to the mines.
These guys worshiped them as if they were their ancestors.
Of course, because it was difficult for the Japanese troops in the pass to capture and survive, there were not many prisoners of war on either side of the Kuomintang or the Communist Party. As long as the captured Japanese soldiers were captured, they would fight for them as much as possible. They would be given the most generous treatment and an anti-war alliance would be formed to dismantle them.
The fighting will of the Japanese army. This is a struggle strategy, but it is also a helpless strategy.
If you can't defeat the enemy on the battlefield, you can only use this psychological attack strategy to find ways to undermine the enemy's will to fight. In addition, in Chinese military art, since ancient times, there has been a saying that attacking the enemy is the first priority. Treating prisoners preferentially can be regarded as a priority no matter what.
A kind of propaganda war. Although it has limited effect on the Japanese army, which has a prevailing bushido spirit and has been brainwashed from humans to beasts since the day they joined the army.
The whole world will treat the enemy prisoners who came to their own countries to burn, kill and loot as ancestors. Looking at all the participating countries in this war that has almost spread across the world, I am afraid that only China does this. This kind of heart-attacking strategy, although
It worked to a certain extent, but the price was too high.
In many cases, it made the Japanese feel that even if they were captured, they would not be punished, and they could do whatever they wanted. Therefore, Yang Zhen had strong opinions on the treatment of Japanese prisoners of war by the Guanhai troops. He believed that even if these prisoners of war were
Not going to trial, but letting them live too comfortably is a bit too much.
What's more, what these Japanese prisoners of war did on the Chinese battlefield was considered a crime against humanity according to the standards of later Westerners. Now let alone using them as laborers, even if they are all shot, only a few of them are killed.
It’s unjust. If you give them super-national treatment, isn’t that just asking for your own illness?
In addition, the situation inside and outside the pass was different. After several wars by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the number of Japanese prisoners of war captured far exceeded the total number of the Kuomintang and the Communist armies inside the pass. Yang Zhenke never thought of treating these beasts in accordance with the prisoner of war policy within the pass.
and beasts, let them enjoy themselves in the prison camps.
Moreover, if we follow the treatment of prisoners of war by the customs forces, I am afraid that the current number of Japanese prisoners of war in the resistance alliance cannot be sustained by selling iron. Besides, it is easy to feed such a large number of living people and leave them idle and have nothing to do. Even the expatriates and leaders will be in trouble.
With prisoners of war and hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, it was not a safe place to be there.
So Yang Zhen simply selected some of the so-called good performers as instructors among the prisoners of war, and sent the rest to the mines for labor reform. In addition to eliminating some of the unrest factors, it also alleviated the situation in some aspects.
Insufficient labor force.
At the same time, through labor reform, these imperialists can re-establish a correct world outlook and outlook on life. With the contribution of their labor, they can deeply reflect and apologize to the Chinese people who have suffered deeply, and through labor, they can cleanse themselves of the profound
