Regarding the ability to mobilize the advance army, I don't know what method the advance army used to recruit so many supplementary soldiers in a short period of time, and now he really admires the five-body surrender. If this had been replaced by the Anti-Japanese Federation, there would have been no such a big solution, and so many additional soldiers would have been recruited at once in the new area, which was still only a guerrilla zone.

When the army first entered Rehe, it was still in an embarrassing situation where there was no one to carry the wounded and no one to transport ammunition. But when the main force withdrew to the north, in such a short period of time, it was able to mobilize and bring out nearly 10,000 recruits, which could not but be an unexpected joy for Yang Zhen, who had been tightly guarded with soldiers. If it weren't for the sequelae of more surprise than joy later, Yang Zhen would even want to learn from the advance army.

The total population of this Rehe is indeed quite large, according to the captured Japanese army data, there are more than 6 million people. But most of this is still concentrated in Genan, as well as in the area east of the Ye-Chi Railway. The main concentration area of the advance army is Rexi, and the population is not large. Being able to mobilize 10,000 supplementary soldiers is quite a good job in the words of later generations.

You must know that the current Rehe is not the old base area in Guannai. The consciousness of the common people here is far from being developed. Coupled with the strict rule of the Japanese puppets before, the common people have always been very reluctant to advance into Rehe. When the army first entered Rehe, Yang Zhen heard the political commissar talk about it. It's not just seven difficulties to come by, it can be described as ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties.

If the advance army had not had tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of guns, perhaps the local people would have gathered together to defeat the advance army under the coercion of the Japanese puppets. You can do anything to kill the wounded of the advance army, and to ask for a reward from the sun with a human head, but what else can't you do?

The previous brutal and high-pressure rule of the Kwantung Army, and he did not understand the advance army. Even under the propaganda of the Japanese puppet, the advance army was regarded as a beard. In addition, before the 918 incident, I was too disgusted with the team of those commanders and generals. These ordinary people were not welcome or even hostile to the advance army.

Under such circumstances, the advance army could still get tens of thousands of recruits, which was a bit incredible for Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen believes that the advance army will never do anything to catch strong men. Although there will certainly be certain problems in the way of mobilization, it will definitely not force the strong Ding.

Previously, he was still thinking about where to find reservists for the Advance Army to make up for the losses of the Advance Army in the Battle of Rehe and strengthen their formation. But he didn't expect that when the advance army was evacuating, it would solve the problem by itself, and it would be able to compile additional new troops, which was really the most headache for Yang Zhen.

Of course, Yang Zhen still doesn't know how the advance army recruited so many supplementary soldiers in such a short period of time. It wasn't until a month later, when Wang Guangyu asked the base to mobilize a large number of trains to transport the Rehe refugees, as well as hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who had dragged their families to North Manchuria by guò railway, that Yang Zhen, who couldn't cry or laugh, knew what was going on.

It turned out that when the advance army was fighting in Redong, it was trying to mobilize the local people to enlist in the army, no matter how much propaganda was carried out, the result was always not as good as expected, and the number of people who joined the army was very small. I don't know which immoral political worker came up with a bad idea, and when mobilizing the people, he announced that as long as someone from the family enlisted.

The advance army will move all the military dependents to North Manchuria, and after these military dependents arrive in North Manchuria, one person from each family will enlist in the army, and they will be given 40 acres of land, and if two people join the army, it will be 80 acres of land. As soon as the battle was over, the advance army immediately mobilized trains to transport all their families to North Manchuria.

Now that the battle has been fought, the whole line has entered a state of rest, and the railway has been reopened. These ordinary people, who withdrew to Rexi with the advance army, were all clamoring to advance to the remaining troops to fulfill their original promises. If you don't agree, they will surround you. For these civilians, our children have been sent to your troops, and your promise must be fulfilled.

The land in the mountainous area of Rexi is barren, not to mention the mountain skin. Those ordinary people who withdrew with the advance army did not have food or clothing here, and they did not even have a house, so they naturally quit. In the past, they were all people from Rexi, who migrated to the Redong area, but there were no people from the Redong region who ran to Rexi to suffer.

Most of the counties in the Rexi region, even in the following decades, were poor counties at the national level. The poor are quite famous all over the country. And in this era when transportation is backward and agriculture is still mostly dependent on the sky for food, it can only be poorer and definitely not better than later generations. It is strange that those ordinary people who believe in the propaganda of the Advance Army are capable in the face of this scene.

In addition, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. These things, as the people of Redong who migrated over spread to the ears of the local people in Rexi, and naturally caused a sensation. The land in the Rexi Mountains was originally barren and poor, and the yield of other crops was very low except for the production of opium.

The yield of one mu of sorghum is less than half of that of Beiman, and many poor families in many local villages only have one pair of pants. What kind of place is Beiman, where I heard the propaganda of those who advanced to the army and political workers that as long as the land is fertile, as long as it is sprinkled with seeds, it can grow crops without much care. The yield of one mu of sorghum is several times that of Rexi.

And if there are two soldiers in the family, eighty acres of land will be given. Even if there is a soldier, forty acres of land must be given. There is also encouragement to open up the wasteland, and whoever excavates it belongs to whom. For the Rexi Mountains, most of the area has only a few acres of land. Most of them depend on the weather for food, and the barren mountainous areas and low agricultural yields make the temptation of most of the people in extreme poverty can be imagined.

Many people's sons don't want to join the army, who doesn't want their wives and children to be on the kang, and who wants to go to the battlefield to fight for life and death? The common people of this era do not have such a high consciousness. But he was coveted by his parents, who coveted at least forty acres of land, and tied them to the army with ropes. Even the son's wealthier family was sent to the two of them.

The temptation of 80 acres of land is still the top land of fat and oil, and the harvest is guaranteed by drought and flood. For these extremely poor people, the temptation is incomparable. This gives up the two sons, and the whole family can be fed. The rest of the sons can also marry daughters-in-law, and they can cut a pound of meat if they do a good job. At least the whole family doesn't have to wear a pair of pants anymore.

Therefore, there is no need to do any mobilization, although the attitude towards the advance army was not too cold before, it is definitely not hot, and the enthusiasm of the common people to join the army is quite high. For these ordinary people, anyway, someone sent you to the army, and you don't have to talk about what you promised.

Not counting the more than 10,000 recruits brought back by the main force of the advance army to the north, the troops who stayed in Rexi to hold on, recruited more than 7,000 recruits during this time. However, everyone's children have been sent to the army, but now that such a long time has passed, and you have not moved, this common man will naturally quit.

He was responsible for commanding the troops left behind in the Advance Army, and at this time he was also the deputy commander of the West Manchurian Military Region and the commander of the Rehe Military Region. Faced with the situation that his headquarters was stationed on three floors and three floors outside all day long, and was surrounded by ordinary people. After severely criticizing the political work cadre who came out with such a moth, and scolding the political department that really implemented this absurd method.

He couldn't settle these ordinary people, so he could only find Wang Guangyu, who was also the commander of the West Manchurian Military Region at this time. This matter has to be resolved. He, the commander, was surrounded by a large number of ordinary people all day long and scolded his mother, what has happened. I can't do anything all day, let alone anything, and I'm about to become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.

But how can Wang Guangyu solve the problem of resettlement of so many ordinary people at once? In addition to using the 200,000 acres of cultivated land forcibly occupied by the Japanese pioneer group in Linxi, a part of it was resettled. For the rest of the part, he can only turn to the Anti-** Department and the Northeast Bureau to help find a way.

The weather is getting colder, Ximan, which is already a nomadic area, where can so many people be arranged at once? Now he has neither the ability nor the necessary materials to settle these ordinary people who are dragging their families and besieging the Rehe Military Region Headquarters all day long.

After receiving Wang Guangyu's telegram asking for help, Yang Zhen could only smile bitterly. But since the matter has come out, it will not work if it is not resolved. Yang Zhen could only coordinate the Northeast Bureau to mobilize more than 20 trains, a large amount of grain, and also mobilized two entire automobile regiments to go south, together with the automobile regiment of the West Manchurian Military Region. It is specially responsible for transporting the people from Rehe to Tongliao.

Taking into account the weather and the physical condition of these people, Yang Zhen also dispatched a large number of medical personnel from the General Hospital of the Military Region and various hospitals in the base area to accompany him to the south. Several engineer regiments directly under the Anti-Japanese Federation, together with the 1st, 6th, and 17th divisions that were resting in Nenjiang, were all mobilized to collect wood and build temporary houses for these people.

At the same time, the Northeast Bureau also mobilized six special trains to mobilize 400,000 tons of coal and 20 million catties of grain for the Fufu, Yangjiadian, Keshan, Dedu, and Longzhen areas where these people were resettled. and 300,000 sets of cotton clothes, 100,000 quilts, plus 50,000 iron pots, and millions of catties of cabbage, radishes and other winter vegetables.

20,000 blankets, 100,000 straw mats, and a large amount of meat were also taken out of the stock. After a month and a half, these people were finally resettled before the first smoke and snow fell. As for the matter of dividing the land, the Northeast Bureau did not break its promise, and came according to the number promised by the advance army. It's just that the wasteland reclaimed by the Production and Construction Corps in the first half of the year was handed over to these ordinary people all at once.

You know, this is not a mass migration of tens of thousands of people, or even hundreds of thousands of people. The number of people in the counties of Rexi, who were evacuated along with the Advance Army, reached more than 900,000. Almost all of the counties in which Rexi had advanced into the army were gone.

In order to raise and ensure that a family of three people has a quilt, a family of iron pots, a family of 200 catties of winter vegetables, and each person must have a cotton coat, the Northeast Bureau has spent a lot of effort. Not only did they drain all the old cotton clothes in stock, but they also mobilized the people in the base areas to donate a part of them, so that they could barely scrape together enough of these materials.

While the advance army recruited more than 10,000 recruits, it also put considerable pressure on the Anti-Japanese Union. This is almost a million ordinary people who appeared almost suddenly. If there is a preparation, for Yang Zhen, the arrival of these ordinary people is enough to make him dance happily. Isn't it unprepared, all the materials need to be prepared now. With such a large population suddenly migrating, the pressure on the entire Northeast Bureau and the Northeast Military Region can be imagined. If it weren't for the fact that the Production and Construction Corps had made a lot of preparations for next year's spring ploughing, these people really wouldn't have known how to settle them. After all, even if there is more wasteland available for reclamation, it will take time.
