Chapter 453: Preparing for North China (1)

Han Yunhua stayed in Yan'an for more than half a month, and for 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, the people in Yan'an City who were waiting for him to attend the event meeting finally couldn't help it, and put forward his opinions to the chairman, hoping that Han Yunhua could focus on the party and military industry, and not be too much in love with the mountains and rivers.

However, the chairman only smiled at the requests made by these people, and did not make any comments. If it was said that Han Yunhua spent a lot of time on the mountains and water, Chairman and others would never believe it, after talking to Han Yunhua secretly, he knew that Han Yunhua was no longer Wuxia A M-ng, 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 border region government at present. In his memory, the Party also encountered the most difficult period of development after 1942, and the difficulties encountered now and after 1942 were simply small and large, and after 1942, in order to solve the serious difficulties encountered, the Party Central Committee implemented the famous large-scale production campaign.

And the place where the large-scale production movement arose was Yan'an, and since the predecessors had already had successful experience, Han Yunhua could only unceremoniously plagiarize and requisition. The star troops of the large-scale production movement and the star area of Nanniwan were also targeted by Han Yunhua, so Han Yunhua went to the surrounding areas of Yan'an to survey the terrain as soon as he had nothing to do in the past few days, mainly to see if there were any places that could be reclaimed on a large scale in addition to Nanniwan, after all, one Nanniwan could not meet the reclamation of more than 20,000 troops of three infantry brigades.

Of course, Nanniwan, the famous Han Yunhua in the south of the Yangtze River in later generations, will never let go, so the first battle of Han Yunhua's great cause of reclamation is ready to start in Nanniwan. Nanniwan is located 45 kilometers southeast of Yan'an City, a hundred years ago, it was densely populated, abundant water, fertile land, and very prosperous in production and economy. In the middle of the Qingming Dynasty, the Qing rulers provoked the Hui and Han ethnic disputes and killed each other, turning it into a desolate place overgrown with weeds, thorns, sparse people, and infested with wild beasts.

As early as February 1939, the Party Central Committee and Chairman M-O 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 vast number of soldiers and civilians to carry out the large-scale production movement. However, at this time, because the most difficult time had not yet been reached, the large-scale production movement was not carried out on a large 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, but it was indeed much more important to him and the whole, so Han Yunhua didn't pay attention to those people. After inspecting Nanniwan, it was difficult for Han Yunhua to say that the wild land he had seen was connected with which Saiwai Jiangnan was later, and he also admired the 359 Brigade that created this economic zone from the bottom of his heart. As far as Han Yunhua knows, in 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 overcome thorns and thorns, open up wasteland and farm, and live in a life of food and accommodation. By 1942, the production self-sufficiency rate of the 359th 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 vast number of officers and men used their own hands and sweat to bend the deserted Nanniwan into "Pingchuan rice fragrant, F-I ducks all over the pond." There are crops everywhere, and cattle and sheep everywhere", and the popular song "Pick Huā Blue" was also created at this time.

According to historical records, after the implementation of the large-scale production campaign, the organs and troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region needed 39 million kilograms of fine grain (millet) every year, and produced 15 million kilograms by themselves. Many units in the border areas have achieved complete self-sufficiency in food and funds, and have achieved the goal of "doing their own work and having enough food and clothing."

In agriculture, as a result of the implementation of the correct agricultural production policy, the area of cultivated land in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region has increased rapidly, the area of irrigated farmland has continued to expand, and grain output has increased by a large margin. 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, and the area of dry land in the whole border region was converted into 23,558 mu of dry land in 1940 and 41,109 mu in 1944. Grain output increased year by year, reaching 455,860 stone in 1941 and 1,812,215 stone in 1943, achieving 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. Originally, the border area did not produce cotton, but after a large-scale production campaign, 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 considerably.

In addition, the entire Yan'an region and the entire border region have made tremendous progress in all walks of life, and gratifying results have been achieved in both agricultural and animal husbandry production and industrial production. By 1944, 77 public factories, including 11 paper mills, 2 F-I soap factories, 12 quilt factories, 8 tool factories, 4 printing factories, 3 ceramic factories, and 23 textile factories, had been set up as a result of the mass production campaign, 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 successively set up the Guanghua Store, the Salt Industry Company, the Nanchang Company, the Native Products Company, and the Yongchang Company, 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 products and stabilize the prices and currency in the border areas. At the same time, public commerce, cooperative commerce, and sī business formed commercial outlets all over the urban and rural areas, which facilitated the production and life of the military and civilians.

The large-scale production campaign enabled the armed forces to actively participate in production and improve their material livelihood, and many military units achieved full or partial self-sufficiency in food, clothing, and other daily necessities. The large-scale production movement enabled the military and civilians in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region and the anti-Japanese base areas to victoriously pass through the most difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and laid a material foundation for supporting the protracted war behind enemy lines and winning victory in the War of Resistance against Japan.

These are solid data, absolutely not mixed with any water, and this is only a small part of the wealth and economic effects created by the troops, now Han Yunhua is ready to invest greater manpower, material and financial resources, to increase the scale of the large-scale production movement to a degree that is incomparable in history, so he firmly believes that this ...
