With the opening of transportation routes from the base areas behind enemy lines in Northeast China to the Anti-Japanese Base Areas in North China, a large number of internal troops were rotated to the Northeast for training and re-equipment. A large number of cadres were also transferred from various units to enter various military academies of the Anti-Japanese Alliance to study artillery.
, knowledge of armored forces, chemical defense, air defense, communications, engineers and other services and arms.
It also organized all chiefs of staff who entered the Northeast Army to participate in the Anti-League Chief of Staff training courses in batches. Cadres above the regiment level also took turns to enter the advanced military training classes organized by the Anti-Japanese League to learn integrated command. Cadres below the regiment level entered the Anti-League training class.
Infantry school intermediate and junior classes for further training.
At the same time, the Anti-Japanese Alliance also selected a large number of backbones from the major military region troops, especially company and platoon cadres, to supplement technical arms such as aviation. The most important thing is that every internal force that came to the Northeast for training brought a lot to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
We received urgently needed reinforcements of troops. Although it was a little more difficult in several major strategic areas within the pass, they all completed the tasks assigned by the central government on time.
Each brigade that came to the Northeast brought a new regiment to support the Anti-Alliance. By the end of April 2002, except for the Shandong Military Region and the New Fourth Army headquarters, the new troops had not yet arrived due to the long route and the blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops.
The recruitment of soldiers promised by the other major regions has basically been in place. Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Taihang alone have provided more than 60,000 new soldiers.
Because after leaving northern Shanxi and Chahar, all the journey was carried by vehicles, and the number of recruits fleeing was far lower than before. The more than 60,000 recruits mobilized by the customs troops basically arrived in the Northeast in good quality and quantity. The number of these recruits
Although it is not much, judging from the population base of each base area, the two regions have already done their best.
Later, Yang Zhen learned that because North China suffered a rare drought this year, the local burden was already too heavy and it was unsustainable. The central government ordered all regions to suspend the expansion of troops. Except for the advancing army departments, the rest of the troops were to be reduced.
Establishment. All the supplementary soldiers that have been recruited will be transferred to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Eaters have short mouths and takers have short hands. He did what he promised, and Yang Zhen was naturally not stingy. After the armed forces in the pass arrived in the Northeast, all firearms were strictly inspected. All damaged ones were replaced, and the calibers were rare.
All local bullet dealers have also been replaced.
The original Jin-made rifles, old slides, Hanyang-made rifles, and all home-made firearms were all replaced. Some of the Chinese-made and Czech-made rifles in better condition were selected, and the Belgian-made rifles were retained. At the same time, improvements were made to the weapon organization.
Some adjustments were made to ensure that each brigade used weapons of the same caliber as much as possible. According to the inventory of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they were replaced with Japanese or German equipment as much as possible.
In addition to the Tokarev pistol bullets that can be used with the Anti-League, the universal 7.63mm bullets, and the 9mm Luger bullets, all other brand-name rifles have also been replaced and replaced with Tokarev imitations of the Anti-League.
The brigades with German-made equipment are equipped with German-made MP 40 submachine guns, and the brigades with Japanese-made equipment are equipped with submachine guns made by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
At the same time, all troops coming to the Northeast underwent strict physical examinations. All cadres and soldiers underwent blood type screening to determine each person's blood type, and the blood type was marked on the lining of the military uniform in preparation for battlefield rescue needs.
.At the same time, all cadres and soldiers were disinfected from top to bottom, mainly to eliminate lice to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.
Bathrooms and medical rooms have been built and heating equipment has been installed in all camps prepared for the troops leaving the customs. All medical personnel of the troops leaving the customs must enter the Anti-Alliance Medical College and the Field Health Officer School, and undergo training for five months to
One year of further study.
The Anti-Japanese League issued each cadre and soldier who came out of the customs two sets of summer uniforms, two shirts, two pairs of leggings, two military caps, two pairs of high-waisted anti-thorn rubber shoes, a pair of low-waisted rubber shoes, plus
Three pairs of cotton socks, an anti-link hanging kettle, a Japanese-made 1992-style lunch box, an American-made British or French-made steel helmet, a shoulder bag, and a set of fleece clothes for each person in spring and autumn.
In winter, not only were a full set of cotton-padded clothes distributed, but everyone was also given a blouse over the cotton-padded clothes. This has changed from the fact that when winter comes, you just wear an old cotton-padded jacket to spend the winter. After a winter, the cotton-padded clothes are not only worn out due to walking around, but also wear out a lot.
And because it cannot be cleaned, the true color cannot be seen.
According to discussions with the central government and in order to meet the needs of the united front, the military uniforms of all customs troops coming to the Northeast for training will remain the original ones without major adjustments. However, the colors of summer uniforms will all be unified to grass green and winter to khaki. Changes.
In the past, in various base areas, military uniforms were generally uniform in style but varied in color.
In the past, the central government was unable to uniformly distribute military uniforms. Each base area within the customs could only determine the fabric and color of its own military uniforms based on its surrounding environment and its own economic base, as well as the available military uniform fabrics and pigments. Therefore, each base area within the customs, and even each
Troops with different structures within the base area also have different colors of military uniforms.
Compared with the time when the advancing army came out of the border, Haolai tried his best to make the troops from a military region have the same uniform colors. After experiencing a brutal sweep from summer to winter in 2001, we entered the most difficult situation.
During this period, the colors of the military uniforms of the troops in various base areas in North China became more diverse this time.
Each unit wears whatever clothes they can get. Not to mention the colors, apart from the military hats, there are all kinds of clothes. There are even a considerable number of troops wearing civilian clothes, or simply puppet soldiers, or Japanese military uniforms directly on their bodies.
Except for the military cap of the 18th Army Group, outsiders took a quick look at the military uniform he was wearing, and thought he was a Japanese or puppet army.
As for the uniform style and color, we don’t care. Don’t show your butt first. When even the most basic supplementary ability is lost, any military appearance must give priority to survival. Wear whatever you can get.
Not to mention the clothes of ordinary people and the Japanese and puppet troops, even the clothes of big girls don't matter. When some troops entered the Northeast, they were still wearing last year's cotton-padded clothes.
The fabric is basically earthy coarse cloth, and the style is the same two and a half feet regardless of size. Except for some middle- and high-level cadres, all military uniforms have a significant feature, that is, they are too fat. The top can almost be worn as a windbreaker.
Pants are all crotchless pants, which means they have no crotch.
When the troops inside the customs left the customs this time, Yang Zhen changed all the troops in the base areas within the customs, whether they were the khaki military uniforms of Jinsui and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, or the gray uniforms of Taihang, Hebei, Shandong, Yu and southern Hebei, into uniforms of the same color.
Moreover, the fabrics were changed from the original handmade coarse cloth, all summer military uniforms were changed to twill cloth, and all winter military smocks were changed to cotton cloth.
The style of military uniforms has also completely eliminated the two-and-a-half-foot-long, crotch-free trousers. The tops remain in the style of the Mao suit, and the trousers are changed to the more fitting, loose-fitting Mao suit trousers and straight-leg trousers. For cadres and soldiers below the battalion level, the elbow and knee joints
, as well as the shoulders, reinforced fabric is added to the inside.
Many cadres and soldiers of the customs troops who left the customs this time received shirts, socks, and fleece jackets for the first time. As for the high-waist anti-thorn rubber shoes, it was also the first time. As for the relatively well-fitting military uniforms, many of them had participated in the Long March.
It was also the first time for the cadres of the Anti-Japanese War to receive it. However, among them, the spring and autumn fleece jackets and high-waist anti-thorn rubber shoes were distributed for the first time to the anti-alliance troops.
Moreover, these canvas rubber shoes have also undergone certain improvements compared with the previous cotton canvas rubber shoes. Although they do not adopt the leather combat boots used in the United States, Britain and other countries, their breathability has been greatly improved compared to the original ones. The high waist has been increased
For ankle protection, the stab-proof function has been greatly improved by thickening the soles.
All raw materials, except for part of the rubber required for the soles, are basically produced in the base. Although the uppers are still made of cotton canvas, which is the largest product in the base, they try to find ways to protect the feet without affecting the protection of the feet and improve the durability of the shoes.
Increased breathability under sexual conditions.
After certain improvements, although the original poor waterproofness has not changed, the air permeability and moisture permeability are much better. This new type of cotton canvas rubber shoes was developed by Yang Zhen himself with several professors from Northwestern Polytechnical University.
The raw materials are produced based on the conditions in the base area.
Of course, Yang Zhen didn't have time to do it himself, but he talked specifically about the shoe problem with these textile professors. The troops marched and fought all day long, and the not-so-sturdy cloth shoes wore out too quickly. And overall, it was calculated for the troops.
Distributing shoes is not cost-effective given the huge demand.
The rubber shoes originally issued by the Anti-Japanese League are not breathable and moisture-proof, which can easily cause the infection of athlete's foot and affect the combat effectiveness of the troops to a certain extent. When fighting in mountainous areas, the anti-stab ability and ankle protection ability are very poor. If
Equipped with American-style or Soviet-style leather shoes, not only are the anti-league shoes unaffordable, but they are also too bulky.
As the troops still mainly rely on foot marches, the improvement of military shoes has become a very urgent feeling. If a soldier develops athlete's foot, it may even infect a whole battalion. And once he has athlete's foot, he will not be able to march and fight.
If a large-scale infection occurs, it will even seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Although the health department has been trying to find ways to prevent it, this thing can only be prevented by simple prevention. So before this battle, Yang Zhen took a short half-day to talk to several textile experts from Northwestern Polytechnical University about military affairs.
The shoe thing.
After these experts squatted in the Harbin Textile Factory and worked hard to study, they finally came up with a plan. After being tried on by the Harbin security forces, the results were good. Therefore, this large-scale distribution of the shoes to the troops was used as standard military shoes.
The old-fashioned rubber shoes originally in stock have not been completely eliminated and are used as daily shoes. All the troops leaving the customs this time have also been equipped with this new type of military shoes.
However, if people look at this kind of high-waist stab-proof combat shoes decades later, they will be shocked to find that apart from the different materials and colors, from the style point of view, aren't they the same type of 99-type combat training shoes of later generations?
Of course, the high-waisted Type 99 training shoes were not issued to later generations of troops. However, Yang Zhen's army was issued these lightweight training shoes to replace the heavy Type 97 military boots for daily training.
Although this kind of 99-style training shoes has not completely changed the shortcomings of the original Jiefang shoes, it is far more comfortable than Jiefang shoes in terms of wearing comfort and ankle protection. So Yang Zhen wants to
As long as the base area's affordability allows, the troops' military shoes should be improved, and these 99-style high-waisted training shoes have become the first choice for imitation.
However, he is only responsible for providing the styles and requirements. As for the materials, he still leaves it to the experts. Yang Zhen has this advantage. He will never pretend to understand something he doesn’t understand. Although he has provided the styles and requirements, he usually does not ask about specific matters.
.Because he doesn’t understand, he never interferes with the work of experts.
He is just a soldier, not an expert or a professor. He doesn't know anything about materials, so he never gets involved. In terms of materials, he only requires breathability, moisture permeability, and strength, and uses materials produced in the base area as much as possible.
