At the same time, after a month and a half of encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, the Xiajiang area was over, and the two military regions suffered serious losses, but under the shrewd strategy of the leaders of the military regions, the danger of being annihilated was avoided, and after discussions between Meng Qingshan, Yang Jingyu, and others, it was decided to hold a celebration meeting in the base area. This time, firstly, it is to let the people see the strength of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and by the way, to publicize the victory achieved by the Anti-Japanese Federation, and secondly, to boost morale. Third, it is also to publicize the news of the establishment of the North Manchurian base area of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army in all directions, so that patriotic people with lofty ideals can know the area of activity of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance. Fourth, convene all ministries to discuss the encirclement and suppression in the spring of next year.

At the inaugural meeting of the base areas, cadres at the division and division levels, and representatives from all military sub-districts were sent to the meeting.

Prior to this, Yang Jingyu and others were also worried that this would leak the strength of the Anti-Japanese Federation, but according to Meng Qingshan: "Even if the Anti-Japanese Federation is hidden, it will not be able to withstand the Japanese army's secret services." Fortunately, the Anti-Japanese Federation held a meeting to encourage the anti-Japanese troops and some patriots who were still fighting in the mountains and forests with the Japanese guerrillas, and also to propagate the anti-Japanese ideology to the vast number of compatriots in the northeast, so that they could know that the Anti-Japanese Federation had not been beaten by them like bandits as the Japanese army said, and at the same time, it was also necessary to deter the ghosts, snakes, and gods in the base areas.

In the afternoon, the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Federation was stationed at the training ground next to Qunshan Township, and colorful flags fluttered everywhere; before that, Meng Qingshan asked Li Yanping to invite representatives from various villages in the base area to come and watch, and in the middle sat the leaders of the four main divisions and the representatives sent by various military regions, and below was a phalanx of some personnel of the four divisions sitting in front of the rostrum, and in front of the troops were placed captured mountain artillery, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, Japanese saber and military flags, among which there were three wings of military flags. Row after row is very imposing. The village representatives of each village sat on both sides of the troops and watched around, which was the first time that this group of ordinary people, who had never traveled ten miles before, had seen such a big scene.

Because the cotton clothes worn by the Anti-United Nations were all captured devils, a large number of cotton clothes of the Anti-Japanese Federation were the same color as the Japanese army in the past, but after the modification of the textile factory built in the base area, the Japanese army's military uniforms were dyed gray, and the anti-United Nations troops were full of energy and sat upright as if they were being reviewed.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting was held on time, and Meng Qingshan slowly walked into the venue with the party, government, and military leaders of the base area, and the entire venue was immediately drowned out by bursts of applause.

With Li Yanping's continuous work and the comrades who came back from the party in various places and the soldiers who were wounded and discharged. As a result, the government of the base area has been slowly laid out, and now there are one or two political workers of the Anti-Japanese Federation in each village within the entire base area, which makes Meng Qingshan and others obviously feel that the burden on their shoulders has become lighter, and you must know that although the base area has been established in the past few months or so. However, the orders of the Anti-Japanese Union Headquarters could only spread within a radius of 10 miles from the headquarters, and there were only one or two party members in each township, which was simply not enough at this time, and now it has developed to the point that there are one or two party members in each village, and the total number of party members in the original three northeastern provinces is less than 300. More than 5,000 people have developed to the present, although the number of people in the vast three eastern provinces will not make a sound when they fall into the blister, but it is also much better than before, and this is still Meng Qingshan ordered the Political Department to strictly select party members, otherwise the number may be more.

After Meng Qingshan, Yang Jingyu and others are seated. Chief of Staff Cui Shiquan stood up and opened. He waved his hand and began to announce the flow of the meeting after the applause stopped. Cui Shiquan read out the resolution on the establishment of the North Manchurian base area by the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and after reading it out, the whole venue burst into warm applause..."

Next, Meng Qingshan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, stood up. The applause that had just stopped rang out again, you must know that Meng Qingshan has taken the Anti-Japanese Federation to establish itself here for less than three months, but the team has been completely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the serious military discipline of the Anti-Japanese Federation, treating people kindly, and constantly fighting devils. Moreover, every fight must be won, and the current Anti-Japanese Federation has been deeply in the hearts of the people of North Manchuria. In the same way, the warriors below also adored their commander-in-chief. Because most of these soldiers were labor soldiers rescued by Meng Qingshan during the attack on the fortress. Now they all think they have become cadres of the Anti-Japanese Federation. In the continuous battle with the Japanese army, many people were promoted to platoon commander and company commander because of their combat exploits, and everyone was extremely grateful to the commander-in-chief who brought him rebirth, so everyone applauded desperately......

After the applause stopped, "Comrades. Fellows. Hello everyone from today. Our North Manchurian base area has been established, and from now on we will fight the Japanese invaders to the end..."Meng Qingshan spoke affectionately for half an hour, and in this half hour, no one spoke, and many cadres and soldiers picked up their notebooks and pens and kept recording, just after Meng Qingshan paid attention to it. The entire venue was still silent, and Meng Qingshan looked at the people who recorded inexplicably.

What is the situation, am I talking about wise sayings? No, I'm talking in the vernacular, although I've given several speeches. But it was the first time he saw someone recording when he spoke, and seeing that the soldiers admired him so much, Meng Qingshan was also a little embarrassed, and his dark face gradually became rosy. It wasn't until a soldier applauded that the silence of the venue was shattered, and another overwhelming round of applause struck.

Then, according to the agreed process, Cui Shiquan rewarded the meritorious personnel of the recent army. For several soldiers who had made special meritorious contributions, Meng Qingshan awarded them medals. And encouraged them one by one, originally at the suggestion of Yang Jingyu, he brought big red flowers to the meritorious soldiers, but Meng Qingshan felt that this was not good, and it was poor to hold big red flowers in the Guannei, but now it is different, and there is not much now. It is a lot of money, and a lot of gold bars and silver dollars were seized in the county town one after another, so Meng Qingshan specially found Sun Qian, the director of the arsenal, to create military merit medals with gold and silver two kinds of metals, and the military merit medals were four kinds of special merit one, two and three grades.

The special medal and the first prize medal are made of all gold, the pattern behind is the five-star red flag of the military flag of the Anti-Japanese Federation, also known as the Red Flag Medal, the second and third class are made of all silver, and the pattern behind is the white mountain and black water in the Northeast, also known as the landscape medal.

Each military medal is full of materials, fine and beautiful workmanship, the arsenal has an ancestral carving master of four generations, I heard that in the Qing Dynasty in the palace carved things, each military medal is carved by him personally, so each military medal is different, this is also to avoid some veterans in later generations who can not live out of the army to take out the military medal and sell it, as a result, because the military medal is not good, even a meal before the change, at the same time Meng Qingshan also issued a document, as long as the military medal has a meritorious soldier, every month will get a few days of the ocean's allowance, At the same time, the retired fighters were immediately distributed ten acres of land exempt from taxes.

"Performing well in battles on the scale of a campaign, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, his performance can be used as a model for promotion. Or cadres and soldiers who have been awarded the third prize medal twice, and are awarded the second-class medal with the approval of the headquarters. ”

"In order to ensure the solemnity of the awarding of medals, the headquarters stipulates that all those who award medals shall have the right to approve them, except for the third-class medal, which shall be approved by the highest military and political chiefs of their respective units, and all the rest shall be awarded by the headquarters after being reported by their respective units."

"The awarding of first-class medals and special medals, except for some personnel who perform intensive tasks, must be voted and approved by the military congress before they can be awarded."

"If someone falsifies the report, once it is verified, in addition to depriving him of the medal he has received, he will be subject to severe disciplinary punishment. In addition to the severe punishment he himself will be imposed, the top political work chief of his unit and the political work cadres in charge of examination will also be severely dealt with, including a warning for internal party demerits, administrative demotion, and even removal from their posts.
