Seeing that everyone was in a high mood, Liu Yimin took a sip of wine and said slowly: "There are several major events before us. The first is to drive the Japanese out of the base area and restore the normal production and living order of the military and civilians in the base area as soon as possible.
There are two ways to do this. One is to launch a war of annihilation and dispatch the main force to destroy the Japanese and puppet troops who enter the base area as soon as possible. However, this method cannot be used at present. The main reason is that we do not want the main force of the Japs to quickly return to the base and ravage the base area again. The other is
The method is to hide the main force, and the troops are organized into regiments, battalions, and companies, attack in all directions, spread out everywhere, and carry out extensive cold-fire campaigns to trap the little devils in their strongholds, weaken them step by step, and finally squeeze them out of the base area. Of course,
When the time comes, we still have to dispatch the main force to fight a big battle and completely solve the problem in the Shandong base area. But there is one thing to note, that is, we will not destroy the railways, highways and airports for the time being, and we have to give the little devils a heads up.
Let them build railways, roads, and airports with peace of mind, and restore Shandong's infrastructure. Otherwise, even if we drive away the devils, it will be impossible to repair these infrastructures in a while."
When Liu Yimin was talking, not only the gay men at his table stopped, but also Tang Xingying and others stopped their chopsticks and listened carefully.
Just listen to Liu Yimin say: "The second major thing is to establish the economic system of the base area. This problem has reached the point where it has to be solved. So many of us need to eat and clothe, and the fellow villagers need to eat salt and light lamps.
Purchase other daily necessities. These problems can only be replenished by confiscating them in the short term, but it will never work in the long term. I think about three main points to solve this problem at present. First, carry out a large-scale production campaign and seize the opportunity of autumn crop planting and autumn vegetable planting.
During the farming season, the military and civilians in the base area work together to plant late corn, beans, autumn sweet potatoes, autumn potatoes, and Chinese cabbage on a large scale to solve the military food problem. After the previous stage of publicity and mobilization, the two-crop farming method per year was promoted in the base area, and corn was interplanted in the early stage.
The growth is gratifying. It is the right time for us to continue to promote the planting of autumn crops at this time. All troops should take the lead in planting and set an example for the fellow villagers. Starting from me and Political Commissar Luo, everyone must go into production, with a gun in one hand and a hoe in the other.
Strive to win a bumper autumn grain harvest. The second is to establish a commercial circulation system and maintain commodity prices in the base area. I think that we need to establish a cooperative, which can be a fixed location or a mobile one, to collect the salt, oil, wine, cigarettes, and candles seized by the troops.
, cloth and other commodities are sold to enrich the market supply in the base area. Coupled with the policy of encouraging commercial trade, the market in the base area will have a good momentum of a virtuous cycle. Of course, the fundamental way to solve this problem is to expand production
, to improve production capacity. When Wu Zheng first established the machinery factory, I had some ideas. I wanted to see if I could draw them into drawings and let Bill Clemen and the others refer to them to produce some dough grinding machines, dough pressing machines, oil presses, etc.
Light industrial equipment, run flour mills, edible oil factories, candle factories, match factories, improve production levels. The plows used by ordinary people to cultivate land are still wooden plows passed down from the Qin and Han Dynasties. The plows are shallow and slow, which wastes labor and stored energy.
, affecting grain output. If we have a machinery factory, we can produce new iron plows to solve this problem. The third is to build bank branches and tax systems as soon as possible to support the economic development of the base areas. Regarding taxes, I am considering unifying the tax rate in all Shandong base areas.
, and do not introduce so many taxes, which means light corvee and low tax, attract land capital to transfer to industrial and commercial capital, and cultivate national industry and commerce in the base area. For example, banks must realize exchanges with Shaanxi and other base areas. In Shaanxi and Shanxi we
The money deposited in the military base area can be withdrawn in Shandong as long as it is RMB, legal tender, US dollars and pounds. The money deposited in Shandong can also be withdrawn in any base area of our party and army. In this way, those who do big business can run away.
If you do small business, you will reduce losses, increase efficiency, and do business with the Eighth Route Army with confidence and boldness. Little Japan will not be able to block us to death. In turn, we will block them and make the cities they occupy become empty and dead cities. I probably
After some calculations, based on the strength of our army, once the Japanese army makes a major strategic adjustment and turns to attack Britain and the United States, our army can take advantage of the situation to regain all of Shandong and create a unified Shandong base. By then, we will build Shandong into a strong military base.
The production level has been greatly improved, and there is a strong base area rich in materials. Then based on Shandong, we can go north and south to carry out large-scale duels with the Japanese army and end the Anti-Japanese War as soon as possible."
Liu Yimin wanted to say something more. When he looked up, he saw that Tang Xingying had climbed on the table with a small notebook and secretly recorded it. The long braid on her back swayed slightly as she wrote. She was like a female student who was concentrating on her studies, holding back her heart.
Can't stop moving: Tang Xingying has just finished confinement, and her body is still not fully recovered. She started recording as soon as she heard what she said. It seems that she carries this little notebook with her. Alas, this girl is growing up step by step.
, not only became a mother of two children, but also developed her work ability.
After recovering his thoughts, Liu Yimin added: "The third important thing is to expand the armed forces as soon as possible. Han Fuqu finally did one good thing back then, which was to carry out military training activities in various schools and civilians in Shandong before the Anti-Japanese War. A considerable number of people had received preliminary military training and added...
In Shandong, there are still some retired soldiers from various warlord units. These people are valuable soldiers who may be lost if our army does not absorb them. Now the Japanese army is preparing to establish security groups, police teams, and village protection teams in various parts of North China, and is still trying to find ways to expand its expansion in North China.
The size of the security army. The Japs also transferred a large number of Manchurian National Defense Forces from the Northeast to cooperate with them in defense and suppression. The purpose of the Japanese army was obvious, which was to gather young and middle-aged people into their traitor government and traitor troops, and fake North China.
This move is very insidious. If they succeed, there will be a situation where puppet troops and traitors are everywhere in North China. In response to this situation, we must act immediately to expand our troops. Each brigade and brigade-level detachment must be large.
Expansion of the military scale. Below the Shandong Military Region are the military regions, which are divided into military divisions. Each military division must set up a security regiment or a security brigade. In the future, once conditions are mature, there will be eight main brigades, a west Shandong security brigade, and a southwestern Shandong security brigade.
The brigade, Tai'an detachment, and Southeast Shandong detachment were all upgraded to divisions. Each division was organized into three brigades, equipped with an artillery regiment, a machine gun regiment, an engineering regiment, a baggage regiment, and a cavalry regiment. A total of twelve main divisions were organized to form the field of the Eighth Route Army Shandong Military Region.
The corps is used for strategic decisive battles. The combat effectiveness of each of our divisions is greater than that of one Japanese garrison division. If we concentrate two or three divisions, we can defeat one Japanese division. These thirteen divisions are our capital to compete with the Japanese army.
It is the basis for us to unify Shandong and then fight the decisive battle with the Japanese army. The other Second Luxi Garrison Brigade, Taixi Garrison Brigade, Qinghe Garrison Brigade, Jiaodong Garrison Brigade, and Northern Jiangsu Detachment form the basis of Shandong's garrison force and are responsible for commanding the local armed forces of each military division.
Undertake the garrison task of Shandong. As long as this goal is achieved, don't say that the Japanese army wants to concentrate its forces to sweep us away. If they don't come, we will still have to go to them to settle accounts!"
After a short pause, Liu Yimin glanced at a few old comrades and felt that the prospect he described was too tempting, so he added: "Of course, this goal is relatively far away for the time being. The main reason is not the lack of soldiers, but the weapons, ammunition and propaganda.
Mobilization and training. Weapons are easy to deal with. We can just seize them. Ammunition alone is not enough. The Logistics Command has a heavy burden. However, as long as we consolidate the base and have a stable environment, we can mine, smelt, and smelt steel.
Copper, lead smelting, mass production of artillery shells and bullets. As for training, I consider that it is not enough to rely solely on the training headquarters and the first branch of the Anti-Japanese University. The cavalry brigade should be renamed the cavalry headquarters and cavalry division, and the engineering corps should be renamed the engineer headquarters and combined
The Engineer Brigade and the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment were renamed as the Heavy Machine Gun Headquarters and Heavy Machine Gun Regiment, responsible for the training of cavalry, engineers, and machine gunners of the entire army. The first branch of the Anti-Japanese University and the Shandong Military Region Teaching Corps, the cadres and above the squad leader of the entire army who have not been in the training team and
Local cadres who have not participated in the cadre training class must enter the school to study and train. The cars, armored vehicles, and tanks of all the army's units will be gathered together, and an armored regiment will be formed in the first teaching brigade to serve as the assault arrow of the entire army. The second teaching regiment will be restored
Preparation. Regarding propaganda and mobilization, newspapers alone cannot do it. Zhao Xiaoman and others must organize more propaganda teams, and also mobilize armed work teams from various units to go deep into the public to publicize the principles of resisting Japan and national salvation to the masses, and mobilize everyone to join the army and serve as militiamen.
, fight the devils.”
Liu Yimin talked so much in one breath that he got a little carried away. But when he stopped and saw that everyone was listening and meditating, no one was drinking or eating. Liu Yimin scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, and greeted everyone
Move the chopsticks.
Luo Ronghuan shook his head, thought for a while and said: "This plan is very grand, but with the current foundation, although it is a bit difficult, it is not a fantasy. If it is more prudent, we can first teach the first brigade, then teach the second brigade,
The Third Teaching Brigade is organized into the Shandong First Division, the Second Division, and the Third Division. These three divisions do not require new recruits. They all have five main regiments. It is enough to transfer four more main regiments. The weapons and ammunition are also available.
Guaranteed. This will ensure that the combat effectiveness of the main force does not decrease. As for other units, they can be allowed to train new units and return to the training headquarters for training. They should not be so grand yet and focus on development for a while. In this case, the three main forces
The division, plus the cavalry brigade and the artillery brigade, are enough to cope with any aspect of the battle. The other units are assigned to various base areas to develop and consolidate the base areas. I think this may be approved by the central government."
Wu Zheng took off his military cap and said: "Division commander, political commissar, now all the eight main brigades of our army are organized into five main regiments. Each brigade has more than 10,000 people, and except for the eighth teaching brigade, the other seven
The main force of each brigade were all those who joined the army during the Long March and the Shaanxi period. They have experienced the test of war, are united as one, and have high tactical quality. A squad leader can be chosen as a platoon leader. There is no problem in expanding the army. But the larger the army, the more difficult the logistics.
The greater the pressure. The wars we fought in the past were all wars with huge captures. The main force basically did not need to spend the people's money and eat the people's food. Now money is not an issue, but food is. To solve the food problem, in addition to developing production
, to set up a military reclamation farm, we must let the villagers in the base area pay the public grain. If we want the villagers to pay the public grain, we must first let them grow crops with peace of mind. This requires driving the Japanese out of the base area. I think we should concentrate our efforts on the Yimeng Mountain area
All the little devils rushed to the railway line, and then sent their troops north to deal with the enemies of Jiaodong. At least they had to be beaten until they stayed on the railway line and did not dare to move. Especially the last time we attacked Wei County and Fangzi, I
I think it's a good place. There is a ready-made power plant. What kind of factory can I build if I have a power plant? The cold-gun and cold-gun campaign is just a temporary strategy to deal with the Japanese, not a long-term solution. The long-term solution is to concentrate our forces on ambushes and capture large quantities of them.
, the results are great. If we win a great battle, our army will have high prestige, and naturally more people will join the Eighth Route Army."
Liu Yimin glanced at Wu Zheng, who immediately said: "What I said is the truth. Of course, after driving the Japanese to the railway line, it would be better to launch a cold-blooded campaign to slowly wear down the Japanese. As for the power plant in Fangzi, I
I’m just saying that there are too many Japanese planes, and we can’t produce them even if we occupy the workshop. Anyway, we have already moved the power plant’s stuff, so we can build a power plant in a mountainous area.”
This made everyone laugh.
Cai Zhong pointed at Wu Zheng and said with a smile: "Old Wu, you are crazy about wanting to open a factory. You don't even care what time it is. You still want to open a factory in Fangzi. If the little devil doesn't blow up your factory into ruins,
How strange! Even the arsenal you want to build now, I think in the short term, it can only use diesel and gasoline generators to generate electricity. A formal power plant can be built, but when it will be completed and put into use depends on when the little devils are driven out of Shandong.
.The eastern part of Shandong is Shaanxi. Japanese planes are flying in the sky all day long. Is there any reason not to blow up the chimney when you see it?"
Yang Zhicheng had never participated in such a strategic level discussion. What Liu Yimin said made his eyes light up. Especially what Liu Yimin said about bank exchange and exchange. Only those big banks can do it. If our army can do the same,
Then the economy of the base area will be much easier to manage.
After thinking for a while, Yang Zhicheng said: "Sir, political commissar, I think it would be good to run a bank, do taxation, or run a factory, but the matter is too big and cannot be done by one or two people. I have an idea, do you want to do it first?
Set up a training class for finance, taxation, and logistics cadres, train a group of backbones, and then start. Otherwise, something will go wrong."
Luo Ronghuan said that you are right to think about it. Bank matters and taxation matters belong to the government. Li Yu and the others have already started to prepare for the establishment. However, he must first organize a cadre training class and establish financial disciplines. He cannot ruin a good thing.
.
Seeing that everyone had similar opinions, Liu Yimin persuaded everyone to have a meal and chatted while eating. Finally, he decided to report to the central government the establishment of cavalry, engineer, heavy machine gun headquarters and the formation of armored regiments. As for the expansion of the troops, he will not talk about it for now, and will develop it for a while.
Think about it later to avoid alerting the Japanese and causing other misunderstandings.
