Chapter 585 Before the Departure (continued)

After talking with the cadres of the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade and the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, Liu Yimin kept going, and then held a liaison meeting of the Senate of the Shandong Bureau, the Shandong Military Region, and the Shandong Provincial Anti-Japanese Democratic Government. Present at the meeting were the heads of the brigades, detachments, and garrison brigades of the instructor's headquarters, the heads of the units directly under the city, the heads of various departments of the Shandong Bureau and the Senate of the Shandong Provincial Anti-Japanese Democratic Government, and the cadres of the main brigades and regiments who were resting and waiting around Jinan.

The meeting was presided over by Luo Ronghuan, deputy secretary of the Shandong Bureau, political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, and political commissar of the instructor.

Zeng Zhongsheng, on behalf of the Shandong Military Region and the Party Committee of the Instructor, summed up the operational situation since the Luzhong Campaign, holding that in the previous stage of the military struggle, the main reason why our army was able to break through the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army's heavy troops and achieve brilliant results was that it adhered to unified leadership and mutual cooperation, and had a high degree of concentration of the main force and firepower. In particular, in the Jiaoji Road Campaign, all units of our army coordinated and fought continuously, commanded like a cloud, and used novel and bold tactics, and achieved brilliant results in annihilating the enemy's three divisions and regiments and two garrisons at the cost of relatively small casualties. The test of the Jiaoji Road Campaign proved that as long as the command is properly directed, the enemy is deployed first, and the enemy acts first, the main force of our army is fully capable of destroying a permanent division or two or three garrison divisions of the Japanese army in a single battle. At the same time, practice since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has proved that adhering to flexible and mobile strategies and tactics, adhering to the principle of concentrating troops and firepower to defeat the enemy, and persisting in combining guerrilla warfare, movement warfare, and tackling tough battles are the magic weapon of our army.

According to this judgment, in the future, I will teach the main force of the instructor to maintain an active offensive operation, make a preliminary plan, and prepare for the winter offensive operation, with the goal of forcing the enemy to trap and defend Qingdao, force the enemy to retreat to Xuzhou in the south, and force the enemy to retreat to Cangxian in the north, so as to further expand the base area and compress the living space of the devils in North China. In accordance with the strategic determination of the division headquarters, all brigades should reorganize and train their troops, replenish supplies, and make good preparations before a big battle.

On behalf of the Shandong Military Region and the Party Committee of the Instructor, Zhu Rui summed up the work of building the local armed forces.

During the encirclement and suppression of Shandong by the Japanese army's heavy army group, from Luxi and Hebei to Jiaodong and southeast Shandong, the county brigades, district squads, and militias established by our army in the early stage played an important role and made great sacrifices. In order to cover the transfer of the villagers, many county brigades and district teams fought desperately against the devils, and the sacrifices of the whole team abounded, composing tragic movements.

In view of this situation, Zhu Rui, on behalf of the Shandong Military Region and the Party Committee of the Instructors, proposed that the main forces, garrison brigades, and detachments should regard the building of local armed forces as the most important task at present, mobilize a number of veteran Red Army backbone cadres to work in the local armed forces, and one regiment should be responsible for one or two counties, and at least one company should be transferred to build up county brigades, district squadrons, and militia units in various villages. A strong and powerful system of local armed forces can be formed at any time to support the main force in combat, replenish the attrition of the main force, and ensure the stability of the base areas. Counties with good conditions can directly set up garrison regiments to train military cadres and soldiers on a large scale.

Guo Hongtao, on behalf of the Shandong Bureau, reported on the situation of political power building.

Guo Hongtao pointed out in his report that before the main force of our army entered Shandong in a big way, there were more than 70 party members in the Shandong party organization, and some comrades had just been released from the Kuomintang prison. In such a difficult environment, the Shandong party organization resolutely put forward the slogan of "take off the long shirt and go to the guerrillas" to organize an armed uprising and form an anti-Japanese armed force. However, regime-building during this period was not yet on the agenda. After the main force of our army advanced eastward, it proposed to form local political power, but because the main force of our army was in a state of concealed development in most areas for a period of time in order to conceal its strategic intentions, especially in the areas where the main force of our army had not yet arrived, the Japanese puppet regime was basically dominant, and only the political power in the central base areas of Luxi, Hebei, Lubian, and Yimeng was relatively good. After the end of the Luzhong Campaign, the Japanese army soon carried out heavy encirclement and suppression, and as in the case of the local armed forces, the local government that had been formed suffered heavy losses. The problem now is that there is a serious shortage of local cadres, not to mention the district level, and the cadres at the county level are not fully equipped. In view of the vital importance of political power building, it is necessary to transfer a number of cadres from the main force to support the building of local political power, build up party committees and governments at the county and district levels, and elect political power at the village level. Only in this way can we build the base areas into a strong rear.

Li Yu reported on the work of the government on behalf of the Senate of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Government.

After this period of hard work, the fiscal and taxation system in southeast Shandong has been initially established, and the renminbi has replaced all currencies in southeast Shandong; The industry and commerce in southeast Shandong have also developed to a certain extent, and the number of industrial and commercial establishments has grown rapidly; The promotion of the two-cropping farming method in one year has achieved initial results, and the autumn grain crops in the mountainous areas of southeast Shandong and Taiyi have achieved bumper harvests. However, due to the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, all industries in other areas withered, and there was an urgent need to heal the wounds of the war. In the next step, we should focus on doing a good job in the following tasks: First, we should improve the financial, fiscal, and taxation system, set up fiscal and taxation organs in all base areas, and set up bank outlets, so that we can deposit and withdraw renminbi in all areas occupied by our army. The second is to invigorate commercial circulation and create a good environment for the commercial development of the base areas. The third is to vigorously develop education, actively prepare for the establishment of Shandong University, and restore the original primary and secondary education system, so that children can go to school and have books. Fourth, it is necessary to make use of the leisure time to build water conservancy projects and lay a foundation for striving for stable grain production next year. Fifth, highways should be expanded in the hinterland of the base areas to facilitate the smooth flow of main sports and trade routes. Sixth, centering on the operational needs of our army, we should restore the original mine production as soon as possible, and try by all means to open hidden ironworks, steelworks, and copper factories to provide raw materials for the arsenals and meet the operational needs of the troops. Seventh, it is necessary to organize the work of supporting the front, and wherever the troops fight, the trolleys of the front teams will be pushed to ensure that the soldiers can eat and wear shirts.

At the end, when Liu Yimin spoke, the audience applauded thunderously and endured.

Tan Zheng has been working for a short time to teach the tutor, and when he saw that the cadres respected Liu Yimin so much, he whispered to Cheng Cuilin beside him: "Commander Liu's prestige is very high."

Cheng Cuilin nodded.

Liu Yimin was also very excited. Before entering Shandong, in Nangong, he was talking about organizing troops to dig trenches, bury mines, cut off traffic, and delay the movement of devils. In less than a year, Li Yu, on behalf of the anti-Japanese democratic government of Shandong, began to make arrangements for the restoration of transportation. What a remarkable change

Liu Yimin began to speak, and his voice was pleasant: "Before going north to resist Japan, no one could have imagined that we could sit in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, for a meeting in such a short time. ”

The cadres in the audience first burst into laughter, followed by a burst of thunderous applause, and some cadres even had tears in their eyes, and cried while applauding.

Liu Yimin continued: "The reason for this achievement is the result of the correct decision-making and correct leadership of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, the result of the bloody struggle of our army in Shandong, and the result of the bloody sacrifice of the martyrs. For this result, we sacrificed a large number of martyrs such as Huang Su, Li Yimo, Li Donghai, Guo Zheng, etc., comrades, it was not easy to come by."

Saying this, Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman, Jingjing, Ni Hua, Lin Yueqin and other female comrades sitting among the cadres couldn't help but sobbed softly.

Liu Yimin's voice suddenly rose a few degrees: "Now, although we have captured Jinan, it does not mean that all of this Shandong is ours." The surrounding Japanese puppet army is eyeing each other, and they may launch attacks and attacks anytime and anywhere. The Japanese army on the northern front has now concentrated the 1st Division, the 2nd Division, the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army and the four garrison divisions in North China, and the total strength has surpassed that of the 2nd Division, which is the first main force of the Japanese army and one of the three mechanized divisions of the Japanese army. This part of the devils is the best at surprise attacks, and once they launch it, they will inevitably take it by surprise and hit the soft underbelly of our army. The Japanese forces in Qingdao in the east could soon be strengthened, and the Fifth Division, which had withdrawn from the Canton battlefield, could reach Qingdao in a day or two. Everyone knows that the main force of this Fifth Division was completely annihilated by our army, and it was dealt a heavy blow by the Seventh Brigade of our Sect in Zhoucun. However, the Fifth Division, like the Second Division, is one of the three mechanized divisions of the Japanese Army, and is good at roundabout attacks, and if they are strengthened, they are also a steel monster armed to the teeth, and it is difficult to deal with Some comrades may say, why don't we send the Eighth Route Army Air Force to sneak attack the fleet carrying the Fifth Division, and send them into the sea. I would like to tell my comrades that fighting a war cannot be taken for granted. The 5th Division returned to Qingdao under the escort of the Combined Fleet. The carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Combined Fleet were strong, and our air brigade was no match for them. At this time, the Japanese army has become a frightened bird, and it will definitely be highly vigilant, and if our air brigade goes to attack, it will definitely fall into their trap. In addition to the 35th Division in Yanzhou, the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade and the 114th Division of Lunan, the Xuzhou Garrison and the puppet Manchurian Defense Army, there are 38th Divisions in southwest Lu, and the elite 14th Division of the Japanese army has also withdrawn to Lunan, and the Japanese puppet army in this area has a lot of troops, close to 100,000 people. Comrades, think about it, these three routes of Japanese puppet army with a total of more than 200,000 troops have always been a great threat to the Shandong base area, and this is not counting, the Japanese army is very likely to be sending troops and sending elite divisions to Shandong, so as to repeat the trick and once again carry out heavy encirclement and suppression of our army. Comrades, think about it, if we relax our vigilance, then when we wake up, it is very likely that the Japanese army will be under the city of Jinan. ”

Seeing that the cadres were pondering, Liu Yimin said: "After talking about the military situation, I will talk about the economic situation in the Shandong base area. Comrades all know that since the Red Eighteenth Regiment attacked and occupied the passage, the seizures of our army were extremely rich, and there was basically no need to collect taxes and pay military rations from fellow villagers. In particular, our army captured Tianjin, Qingdao, Lianyungang, and Jinan, and captured a large number of supplies. Among them, Tianjin and Qingdao were the most abundantly seized, which is tantamount to linking the Japanese devils to the banks and Japanese-funded enterprises in these two cities. It can be said that our army is not short of money. This is evidenced by the fact that we were able to set up Bohai Bank, with a capital of up to 100 million yuan. But, comrades, think some, what's the use of just having money? As long as the little devils are blocked, God will have another continuous drought, and our army will not be able to buy food with money, and as long as there is no food for a few days, the combat effectiveness will basically be equal to zero. When we are dying of hunger, the little devil's bayonet will reach our chests. In this era, food is the most important thing. As long as the food supply is sufficient, it will not be a problem for us to expand the army, build schools, build hospitals, and build roads. When there is a problem with food, everything becomes a problem. Moreover, we not only need food, but also oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, clothes and shoes, lamps and oil, and the villagers in the base areas also need to eat, dress and live a normal life. Now that we have such a large base area, we must think of developing social undertakings. If nothing else, we can't let all the children in the base area drop out of school, right? You can't let the villagers be sick and lack medical treatment, right? All these require economic development, and the capture of our army alone cannot meet the needs of the base areas. In addition, Japanese planes reconnoiter and bomb every day, and our economic development has been greatly restricted, chimneys cannot be erected, large factories cannot be built, and we can only take advantage of the mountainous terrain to develop covertly, which seriously restricts our ability to develop the economy. However, it will not work if we do not grasp the economy. What to do? Tell me to say, you can use your brain and think about it, how can a living person suffocate urine? Can we dig a lot of tunnels? Is it possible to expand the scale of the tunnel and turn it into an underground project? If the tunnel becomes an underground project, won't our factory be built in an underground project? This underground project is a good thing, not afraid of the little devil's plane, not only can hide people, Tibetan troops, but also build a small factory, you can also grow vegetables in it. Mushrooms are delicious, I told the comrades that you can try to grow mushrooms artificially in the underground works and see how it works. I would like to say three words to comrades, and you must keep in mind that there is no stability without agriculture, no wealth without work, and no life without business. When we grasp the economy in the base areas, we must vigorously grasp agriculture, develop industry, and invigorate commerce. Of course, now is a time of war, and the main thing in grasping agriculture is to increase output and ensure that there is food to eat; The main focus of grasping industry is to focus on the military industry, and it is necessary to be able to produce enough weapons and ammunition to meet the needs of operations; To grasp commerce is to ensure the normal circulation of commodities and the supply of materials in the base areas. ”

After talking about military affairs and the economy, Liu Yimin talked about the building of local political power and local armed forces, and talked about cultural propaganda work, which is tantamount to making comprehensive arrangements for Shandong's work. In Liu Yimin's words, all troops, all localities, and every cadre must understand the situation and tasks facing Shandong's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and know what to do and how to do it.
