Chapter 453: Preparing for North China (1)
Han Yunhua stayed in Yan'an for more than half a month, and the previous week he stopped going out every day except for a walk around the city, let alone participating in any activities. The next week was even more outrageous, every day with the guard troops he brought around Yan'an, sometimes there was no one for a day or two, and the people in Yan'an City who were waiting for him to attend the event meeting finally couldn't help it, and put forward le opinions to the "chairman", hoping that Han Yunhua could focus on the party and military industry, and not be too "obsessed" with the mountains and rivers.
However, the "chairman" only laughed at the requests made by these people, and did not make any comments. If it is said that Han Yunhua will put his time on the mountains and waters, the "chairman" and others will never believe it, after talking to Han Yunhua secretly, he knows that Han Yunhua Yijing is not Wuxia Amon Le, and now Han Yunhua has a hill in his heart.
Han Yunhua really didn't go to the mountains and rivers these days, since he promised the "chairman" to revitalize the economy of the border region and solve the problems faced by the "government" of the border region at present. In his memory, after 1942, he also encountered the most difficult period of development, and now this difficulty and the difficulties encountered after 1942 are simply a small witch encountering a da witch, and after 1942, in order to solve the serious difficulties encountered by LE, the Party Central Committee implemented LE's famous DA production movement.
And the place where the DA production movement arose was Yan'an, since the predecessors Yijing had successful experience in LE, then Han Yunhua could only unceremoniously plagiarize LE. The star troops of the DA production movement and the star area of Nanniwan are also targeted by Han Yunhua, so Han Yunhua has been going to the surrounding areas of Yan'an to survey the terrain these days, mainly to see if there is a place that can be reclaimed on a large scale in addition to Nanniwan, after all, one Nanniwan cannot meet the reclamation of more than 20,000 troops of three infantry brigades.
Of course, Han Yunhua, who was famous in the south of the Yangtze River in later generations, would never let it go, so Han Yunhua's first battle of reclamation was ready to start in Nanniwan. Nanniwan is located 45 kilometers southeast of Yan'an City, a hundred years ago, it was densely populated, with abundant water, fertile land, and very prosperous production and economy. By the middle of the Qingming Dynasty, the Qing rulers provoked disputes among the Hui and Han ethnic groups and killed each other, turning it into a desolate place overgrown with weeds, thorns, sparse people, and wild beasts.
As early as February 1939, the Party Central Committee and the "Maoist" and "Chairman" put forward the general policy of "developing the economy and ensuring supply" and the call of "doing it yourself" and "having enough food and clothing" to mobilize the military and civilians to carry out the DA production movement. It's just that at this time, because it has not yet reached the most difficult time for LE, the DA production movement has not been carried out on a DA scale.
Han Yunhua didn't care about the opinions put forward by the party and government organs in Yan'an, and what he was doing now was indeed a tour of the mountains and rivers in their eyes, and Danshi was indeed much more important to him and the whole world, so Han Yunhua didn't bother with those people. After inspecting Nanniwan, it is difficult for Han Yunhua to say that the wild land he has seen is connected with which Saiwai Jiangnan is later, and he also admires the 359 Brigade that created the economic zone of LE from the bottom of his heart. As far as Han Yunhua knows, in the spring of 1941, the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, under the leadership of the brigade commander and political commissar Wang Zhen, was ordered to drive into Nanniwan and began to live a life of overcoming thorns and thorns, cultivating wasteland, and sleeping in the open. By 1942, the production self-sufficiency rate of the 359 Brigade reached 61.55%; In 1943, the production self-sufficiency rate reached 100%, and by 1944, the 359th Brigade had opened up 261,000 mu of wasteland for farming, harvested 37,000 stone of grain, raised 5,624 pigs, and handed over 10,000 stone of public grain. The officers and men of Guangda used their own hands and sweat to bend the deserted Nanniwan into a "Pingchuan rice fragrance, fat ducks all over the pond." There are crops everywhere, and cattle and sheep everywhere", and the popular song "Picking Flowers and Blue" was also created at this time.
According to historical records, after the implementation of the LEDA production movement, the organs and troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region need 39 million kilograms of fine grain (millet) every year, and their own production reaches 15 million kilograms. Many troops in the border areas have achieved full self-sufficiency in food and funds, and have achieved the goal of "doing it themselves and having enough food and clothing."
In agriculture, due to the implementation of the correct agricultural production policy, the area of cultivated land in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region has increased rapidly, the irrigated area of farmland has been continuously expanded, and the grain output has increased. The area of cultivated land increased from 12,132,169 mu in 1941 to 14,256,144 mu in 1945, an increase of 7 percent over 1938; in 1940, the area of dry land was converted into water land of 23,558 mu, and in 1944, the area of water land reached 41,109 mu. Grain production increased year by year, reaching 455,860 stone in 1941 and 1,812,215 stone in 1943, realizing more than self-sufficiency and laying a solid material foundation for the general rear of the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. In addition to grain production, cotton production in the border areas is also increasing year by year. The border area originally did not produce cotton, but after the DA production movement, the cotton planting area expanded rapidly. 39,082 mu in 1941, 94,405 mu in 1942, 150,287 mu in 1943, 300,000 mu in 1944, and 350,000 mu in 1945. At the same time as the grain and cotton increased, the animal husbandry in the border areas also developed considerably, and the number of cattle increased from 150,892 in 1939 to 20,781 in 1943, and the number of sheep and pigs also increased significantly. ,
In addition, the entire Yan'an region and the entire border area of all walks of life have the development of LE giants, whether it is agricultural and animal husbandry production or industrial production has achieved gratifying results. By 1944, 77 public factories, including 11 paper mills, 2 soap factories, 12 quilt factories, 8 tool factories, 4 printing factories, 3 ceramic factories, and 23 textile factories, had been established, with more than 12,000 employees. By 1943, the border areas were basically self-sufficient in cotton yarn, cloth, iron, paper, and many other daily necessities. The development of industrial and agricultural production has brought about the prosperity of commerce and the vitality of the market. The "government" of the border region has successively set up the Le Guanghua Store, the Salt Industry Company, the Nanchang Company, the Native Products Company, the Yongchang Company, etc., mainly to organize the export of local products in exchange for the import of necessities, so as to ensure the supply of military and civilian goods and stabilize the prices and currency in the border areas. At the same time, public commerce, cooperative commerce and private commerce constitute commercial outlets all over the urban and rural areas to facilitate the production and life of the military and civilians.
The DA production movement led to the active participation of the army in production, the improvement of the material life, the realization of full or partial self-sufficiency in food, clothing and other daily necessities, and the increase in income due to the army's efforts to produce also lightened the burden on the people. The DA production movement enabled the military and civilians in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region and the anti-Japanese base areas to successfully survive the most difficult period of the War of Resistance against Japan, and laid a material foundation for supporting the long-term war behind enemy lines and winning victory in the War of Resistance against Japan.
Now Han Yunhua is ready to invest more manpower, material and financial resources to increase the scale of the DA production movement to an extent that is incomparable in history, so he firmly believes that this development of the DA production movement presided over by the central government will definitely achieve a more brilliant victory than in history.
Han Yunhua has not participated in any political activities in Yan'an for more than half a month, half a month later, Han Yunhua quietly returned to Le Saibei, this trip to Yan'an in a hurry has become a very colorful stroke in the history of later generations, later historians have conducted le research on Han Yunhua's trip to Yan'an, but Danshi has not found any textual "sexual" things about the exchange between the "chairman" and Marshal Han Yunhua, just da Zhi can be based on the next few years of *** Judging from the activities of the military region and some of the central authorities' principles and policies, the talks between them are certainly related to the revitalization of the economy in the border areas.
After returning to Guisui, Han Yunhua held a meeting with all military and political cadres at and above the division level of the whole army, clarifying the tasks of the military region for a period of time to come, and taking the training and recuperation of the troops as the most important task in the future. Second, the military region should transfer a part of its troops and refugee regiments to Yan'an to participate in the DA Production Battle, and it will also increase DA's support for the economy of the border areas to ensure the victory of the DA Production Battle. In addition, the military region should also organize new units at all costs and strive to expand the number of troops in the military region to more than 1 million within one year.
After the meeting, Han Yunhua sent a telegram requesting the Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, requesting that the Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters provide a batch of military and political cadres to the Inner Military Region to support the new plan of the Inner Military Region.
After all, the number of troops reported to the Yan'an Military Committee by the Inner Military Region is 280,000, and there are still 780,000 troops from the million Army, neither "Mao", "Chairman" nor Commander-in-Chief Zhu think that Han Yunhua can form a million-dollar army within a year.
Despite this, the Party Central Committee agreed to Han Yunhua's request, and sent Cao Lihuai, chief of staff of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region Left-behind Corps, Mo Wenhua, director of the Political Training Department, Yan Hongyan, head of the Third Garrison Regiment, Wang Zhaoxiang, head of the Sixth Garrison Regiment, Yin Guochi, head of the Seventh Garrison Regiment, Zhou Zikun, chief of staff of the newly formed Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Fu Qiutao, commander and deputy commander of the 1st detachment, Jiang Weiqing, deputy commander of the 1st regiment, Su Yu, deputy commander of the 2nd detachment, Huang Mars, commander of the 3rd regiment, Tan Zhenlin, commander of the 3rd detachment, Gao Jingting, commander of the 4th detachment, and 125 other military and political cadres were transferred to the Inner Military Region, and the specific positions were discussed and decided by the cadres of the Party Committee of the Inner Military Region.
Han Yunhua was stunned when he received the list of cadres transferred to the Inner Military Region from the Central Committee, but there are some DA talents among the military and political cadres transferred to the Inner Military Region this time, whether it is Cao Huaili or Su Yuzai or Tan Zhenlin, they are all famous generals in later generations, and the military ranks of these people are all high, and the military and political cadres who were transferred to the Inner Military Region this time have their own opportunities, and Cao Lihuai, chief of staff of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region Left-behind Corps, was awarded the rank of "lieutenant general" in 55 years; Mo Wenhua, director of the Political Training Office of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region Left-behind Corps, was awarded the "Lieutenant General" in 55 years; Yan Hongyan, head of the Third Garrison Regiment of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, was awarded the title of "General" in 55 years; Wang Zhaoxiang, head of the Sixth Garrison Regiment of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, was awarded the title of "Major General" in 55 years; Yin Guochi, head of the Seventh Garrison Regiment of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, was awarded the title of "Major General" in 55 years; Fu Qiutao, deputy commander of the 1st detachment of the New Fourth Army, was awarded the rank of "general" in 55; Jiang Weiqing, deputy commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Detachment of the New Fourth Army, was awarded the rank of "Lieutenant General" in 55; The commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Detachment of the New Fourth Army, Huang Mars, was awarded the rank of "Lieutenant General" in 55. At this time, the Inner *** Military Region can really be said to be star-studded, and with the addition of these talents, Han Yunhua is full of confidence in the next war. ,
Since the transfer cannot be completed in a day or two, especially since the New Fourth Army is still in southern Anhui, these military and political cadres will not be able to rush to northern Cyprus without a month or two. Except for the few special combat teams that were scattered before the LEDA battle, they were still playing hide-and-seek with the Japanese army in the enemy-occupied area, only the infantry brigade transferred to the northeast was still exchanging fire with the Japanese army, and the remaining troops were nesting on their own turf like the infantry divisions and regiments that the Japanese army had suffered heavy losses to "lick" their wounds.
Han Yunhua didn't have this correction for two whole months, this rare calm surprised Han Yunhua, what did the commander of the Japanese army want to do, although it is said that the Japanese army in North China has been transferred away, and there are many little devils left in North China, and it is not a way to spend it with the Inner *** Military Region, with the "sex" personality of the old devil of Tada Jun, he should have sent troops to come to Le.
Some time ago, because the troops were busy with the transfer, the Japanese army had no time to take care of the military region, and now the Japanese army has completed the transfer, and the two sides are still so quiet, and the atmosphere is very weird. Not long ago, Qian Zhuangfei's intelligence group was cracked by the Japanese army in Tianjin, and four excellent intelligence officers were lost, and the Baoding station of the National Government's Military Command Bureau was also destroyed by the special high-tech department a month ago, so unless necessary, Han Yunhua was not willing to "expose" the intelligence personnel of the military region.
Since the Japanese army did not take the initiative to attack the military region, Han Yunhua was still happy to be clean, and after more than two months of rest and recuperation, all the veteran units of the military region had recovered their combat effectiveness, and the newly formed 10 infantry divisions also had six columns equipped with Japanese-made weapons and equipment. Although the remaining four infantry divisions are still quite lacking in weapons and equipment, Danshi is better than the general troops of the Eighth Route Army, and still has some combat effectiveness, and in addition, in the past two months, the Inner Military Region has formed five infantry divisions, and so far there are 25 infantry divisions and 4 cavalry divisions in the Inner Military Region, with a total strength of more than 600,000.
At the same time, the 125 military and political cadres assigned by the party Central Committee to the Inner Military Region were all in place, and by the unanimous decision of Han Yunhua and the party committee of the entire military region, these newly transferred military and political cadres to the Inner Military Region and these newly graduated cadets from the Saibei Military Command College were incorporated into the newly organized more than a dozen infantry divisions.
Su Yu and Tan Zhenlin and others were all arranged by Han Yunhua to the position of Le division commander, but Danshi did not send them a political commissar, in Han Yunhua's words, these DA generals are all demonic talents who can be single-handed, and sending them a political commissar is just a waste of resources, let's talk about it later, now the military region is expanding, and under Han Yunhua's intentional or unintentional "connivance", whether it is the old troops, the new troops or the local garrison brigades, they are expanding their troops openly and secretly, Some of the 16 million people in the entire Saibei region are young and middle-aged, and most of the more than 2 million people who have just moved from the northwest Hebei region to Saibei are young and middle-aged men and women, so the most important thing in the Inner Military Region is the soldiers.
Although the last time Han Yunhua inspected the Baotou Arsenal, he put forward requirements for the production capacity of the arsenal, and Yang Yannian, the person in charge of the Baotou Arsenal, also adjusted the production of the arsenal, and the production capacity was more than doubled, and Danshi could not withstand Han Yunhua's toss. Even if the Baotou Arsenal works overtime and produces machines 24 hours a day, it can't keep up with the development of the Inner Military Region, and if it is judged according to Han Yunhua's development goals, the Inner Military Region will have to build at least three arsenals of the same scale to meet the operational needs of the troops.
Han Yunhua is also at a loss for this problem, now that foreign aid is cut off, even German businessmen dare not sell equipment production lines to Han Yunhua's department, even if someone sells it, it will not be transported to the northern part of the country, although Han Yunhua's department has almost taken the entire eastern Hebei region, and has its own outlet to the sea, but the Japanese army has sent two warships to cruise in the waters of that area day and night, and all merchant ships that appear in this area must be checked. Once it is found that it is not a first-class cargo ship, it will be sunk, and in the past six months, more than a dozen Chinese, British and French cargo ships have been killed. In the past six months, the troops in eastern Hebei rescued more than a dozen boatmen, and most of the shipwrights and their bosses were wiped out by the Japanese army on the spot after the cargo ship was sunk, and less than one-tenth survived.
