Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The Fifth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was officially born in January 50, which is a force composed entirely of fighters from various ethnic minorities in Xinjiang.

Born in 1912, at the age of 38, Political Commissar Chen was at a young age of energy, and under the leadership of Political Commissar Chen and Commander Lesken, the Fifth Army and the Independent Brigade launched a large-scale mass work.

The Fifth Army has a new political commissar, which has made it more convenient for future cooperation with fraternal units, and with the support of the old chief and Commander Lesken, the cooperation between the Independent Brigade and the Fifth Army has become more and more tacit.

Time passed day by day, and this was a rare good time, and the independent brigade, which had been fighting for several years, finally had a long time to rest and recuperate, the lightly wounded had long since recovered, and most of the seriously wounded had returned to the unit, and while doing mass work for the local people, the training of the troops was also on the right track.

Li Yong has long been looking forward to such a big stage of recuperation, the expansion of the army to more than 13,000 people, the scale is not small, but many of the soldiers are new liberation soldiers who have been captured, and the political consciousness and thinking are too far from the old soldiers, so we must seize the time and opportunity to get the soldiers' minds up, otherwise there will be big problems, political commissar Wang Chengde is a cadre from an old political worker, and his understanding of improving the political consciousness of the army is even higher than Li Yong, so don't look at the army not fighting, but it is not idle at all, Military training and political education have tightened the strings in the heads of the officers and men of the brigade.

Outside the city of Dihua, the shouting and killing continued, on the training ground opened up by the independent brigade itself, the brigade commander Li Yong and the political commissar Wang Chengde fought with the soldiers all day long, practicing all kinds of technical and tactical movements, don't look at the brigade commander and political commissar, when doing the action is not ambiguous at all, when practicing physical fitness, they also carry dozens of kilograms of weight on their backs.

The veteran soldiers have become accustomed to this, and of course all members must participate in military training, but some of the new liberation fighters are very shocked, senior commanders at the division and brigade level. Some cars and armored vehicles can be sat on, but they still practice physical fitness and tactics like ordinary soldiers, how can such a leader not be admired.

The new fighters within the Independent Brigade were all shocked, not to mention the 22nd Corps, which had been reorganized from the Kuomintang troops in Xinjiang. They didn't understand the approach of the Independent Brigade very much, and a few people even said cool things: "Look at these dirt roads, why are you so nervous when you don't fight?" They rolled like mud monkeys all day long, and I heard that their brigade commander and political commissar also dug holes and ran with the privates, but I really don't understand why. ”

The power of example is endless, and under the leadership of Li Yong and Wang Chengde, the shouts of killing on the training ground of the Independent Brigade continued day and night. Li Yong told the soldiers that we can't control people's mouths, and we can say whatever we like, but we can't train for a day, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime, which is an eternal truth.

Mobilize the masses and do a good job in local work. At the same time, it is also necessary to actively carry out military training and ideological education, and all of them are being carried out in an intense and orderly manner. It is impossible to live like this all the time, and the independent brigade, which has been quiet in the Dihua area for more than two months, has once again received a new task.

In the days that followed, the 2nd and 6th armies of the 1st Corps (which had exchanged affiliations with the 7th Corps) had all arrived.

Some time earlier, the independent brigade could be called a landlord, and for this reason, Chen Haihan, chief of staff of the Sixth Army, specially ran over, saying that he wanted Li Yong and Wang Chengde to entertain him well, and if he didn't entertain him well, he wouldn't leave.

It's nothing, the old comrades-in-arms are here, and of course the wine is enough. However, Chief of Staff Chen Haihan did not come here to drink, he wanted the Independent Brigade to introduce more experience in working in Xinjiang to the Sixth Army.

As the first unit to enter Xinjiang, it is impossible for the independent brigade to stay in one place for a long time, that is to say, it must carry out the work of the new area and give up areas with a certain mass base to the new troops.

Xinjiang is too large. Although there are more than 100,000 troops entering Xinjiang, they are still not enough to distribute, and as soon as the people are scattered, they will not see anything, and the independent brigade has more than 13,000 people, and it is impossible for these 10,000 people to be crowded together all the time.

Although Xinjiang has been peacefully liberated, many ordinary people have not yet seen what the real PLA looks like, let alone any feelings and arbitrary signs, and only by letting the people know the PLA, know the PLA, and understand the PLA can we open up a way out for future work, and this is the most basic thing.

Only by dispersing the troops can the influence of the PLA be expanded, so that the broad masses can see the legendary PLA in the fastest possible time.

Due to years of war, a large number of young and middle-aged laborers died, the population was highly mobile, the lack of cultivation and sowing of agricultural fields, the water conservancy facilities were in disrepair, and the frenzied destruction of the Kuomintang army before they fled.

Spring famine, also known as famine, mentioning these two words, as long as people with a little experience and age in China, a country with a large population, will have palpitations, let alone catch up, they are afraid to think about it.

What is the most important thing to say? Only grain is the most important, as long as we have food, we can not panic in our hearts, and only then can we have the energy to develop the economy, develop industry and commerce, and even have a full stomach, and everything is empty talk and delusion, but in the spring season of the 50 years, many places are in a state where the peasants have no land to plant, and the workers in factories, mines, and organs have no rice to cook, and the situation is extremely grim.

Grain, food, food that keeps people awake at night has become the most important thing at present, and if the famine continues, it will cause great chaos in the whole country, and this is by no means alarmist.

To this end, the party Central Committee has also issued instructions: Spring plowing and spring sowing must not be mistaken, and we must seize it, the disaster relief grain funds raised in various localities must be paid in a timely manner, and the staff members must also cut down on food and clothing to tide over the difficulties together.

The shortage of food was nationwide and inevitably affected the troops, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the two armies first fought a civil war for more than ten years, then an eight-year war of resistance, and finally a three-year decisive battle.

The nationwide war has just ended, and it will take at least a year to resume production, and the problems in the old liberated areas are not big, and all work, production, and life have been carried out step by step, but not in the newly liberated areas, that is to say, according to the best assumptions, if the wind and rain are smooth in the 50 years, the newly liberated areas will only see results after the autumn, and the period from the beginning of spring to the end of autumn will become the most critical period.

What to do? The four major field armies, millions of troops, where to collect grain, from the old liberated areas is of course one of the methods, but the field army has long been fought out of the old liberated areas, the troops are too far away from the old areas, the PLA's transportation capacity is poor, the cost of transporting grain from the old areas is too high, not to mention the efficiency, so it is still necessary to collect grain from the local area, but the life of the local people is already hard enough, and their own food is not enough to eat. There is a limit to the number of people who can be recruited.

Is there no way? Of course, there was a way, in the countryside at that time, the landlords and the so-called squires controlled a large amount of land, and they also occupied a lot of resources.

If you want to collect food, you have to have a lot of bleeding.

For this reason, the newly established local governments at all levels have sent a large number of work teams to do the work of all strata and to collect grain by all means, and these work teams are also called grain collection teams, which are small with more than a dozen people, and some of the larger ones have dozens or hundreds of people, and they are active in every corner of the countryside with simple weapons and equipment.

While collecting grain, the grain collection team also has to do the work of the common people, publicize the policies of the party and the army, and help the local people in spring plowing and production in their spare time.

It is precisely because of the hard work of these task forces that after a period of time, the people in the newly liberated areas have also gained a new understanding of the PLA and know that this is a force that fights the world for the poor.

Of course, some people are happy, some people hate them, and the people are happy, but those landlords and old fortunes who used to fly and dominate are not happy, and the People's Liberation Army not only wants food, but also encourages the common people to go over. Therefore, in some newly liberated areas, some forces are ready to move.

It is not only some old landlords who have armed hands that are ready to move, but also the underworld forces in various localities, as well as the spies and party backbones left behind after the Kuomintang fled.

According to historical records, in the Beijing area alone, there were more than 8,000 Kuomintang spies of various kinds, more than 5,000 backbone party caucuses (branch members and above), and only more than 3,000 people followed the Kuomintang troops south, that is to say, after liberation, there were still more than 10,000 Kuomintang spies of various kinds remaining in the Beijing area.

The spies in the Beijing area and the backbone of the Kuomintang caucus are only a microcosm, some of whom have been lurking and waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback, while others have already penetrated into our army and organs under the guise of being active.

At the beginning of the 50s, due to the inducement of various factors, the bandits in all parts of the country were strictly affected, and in March, a report on bandits was reported to the central government, and the report read: (To be continued......
