Chapter 141: Preparations for Winter

Meng Qingshan first brought the headquarters over, and after a few days of construction, the headquarters' hospital, arsenal, logistics department, women's barracks, and new regiment were mobilized, and ordered the Seventh Regiment to carry out guerrilla warfare and contact with a small part of the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army that had been broken up at the beginning and did not go to Morgan with the headquarters, and at the same time disrupted the deployment of the Japanese army, attracted the attention of the Japanese army, so as to buy time for the construction of the base area, and also opened up the base area, because the Japanese army had just been in Fujin and Fujin not long ago. Baoqing Qixing River left bank consulted, this to the Anti-Japanese Federation to win enough opportunities for development, if not now the team does not rest, Meng Qingshan wants to arrange the headquarters there, because that place is sparsely populated, large and rich, very suitable for cultivating wasteland, and at the same time to fight in Foshan and Wuyun.

Meng Qingshan knew that it would be difficult for the Japanese army to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression in the near future, the Kwantung Army had just passed the fiasco of the Battle of Nomenhan, and had made a big fuss in Qiqihar after the headquarters, and now the troops they could use plus the puppet army were less than 50,000 people, you must know that in this place full of deep mountains and old forests, 50,000 people will not be able to see a single figure when they go in, even if they send troops over, they will have to worry about the cities in the rear, and now the sphere of influence of the entire second detachment has formed a T-shape, not to mention that it is about to face the arrival of winter, When the Japanese army could not estimate itself, it vigorously developed the base area, and strived for all the surrounding villages to be included in the sphere of influence of the Second Detachment of the Anti-Japanese Federation, so as to expand the influence of the Anti-Japanese Federation in North Manchuria, so that the common people would know that there was still a Communist Party-led Anti-Japanese League in North Manchuria to plant a seed for them to wait for the outbreak one day in the future.

After discussing with Li Yanping and others at the headquarters for a long time, it was finally decided to expand the guard regiment from the guard brigade to face future emergencies, and arrange the people rescued in the group tribes to various base areas, but there were still nearly 10,000 people who had not been sent to the past, so Meng Qingshan arranged them to the carpentry factory, the clothing factory, the rear hospital, the repair station, the arsenal, the breeding farm, etc., and the headquarters was built in the base area, and in the end, there were nearly 5,000 people left who were not distributed, so Meng Qingshan sent all of them to the new regiment for training. At the same time, the strategic principles and directions of the various units were studied, and after two days of discussion and study, the specific tasks of each department were as follows:

The rest of the 1st Regiment of the Guard Brigade is responsible for clearing out all the bandits on the hills around Lijiazhuang, in case of a fierce battle with the Japanese army, they stab them in the back, it is best to annihilate them all, leaving all those who can be soldiers to be sent to the new regiment and handed over to the recruit regiment for training.

The Second Regiment and the Third Regiment of the Guard Brigade developed south and west under the leadership of the brigade commander Wang Wennian, and cleared the nails planted by the Japanese army in various places, except for the county seat, the rest of the towns were all within the scope of this attack, according to the intelligence of the Fourth Regiment, several landlords in these towns took refuge in the Japanese army and did things for them to harm the common people, very powerful, each family has nearly a company of arms, my request can not let them go, send those who can be soldiers to the new corps, and pay special attention to the property of these landlords, in addition to leaving a certain amount of grain to distribute to the local villagers, All the rest will be transported to Lijiazhuang, and if I encounter the Japanese army's railway, I will also be transported to the base area, and from now on, we must establish a policy of accumulating grain.

Under the leadership of brigade commander Qi Zhizhong, the garrison brigade developed into the Suibin County area, and at the same time, the Seventh Regiment crossed the river at any time and returned, while the rest of the regiments operating outside actively hoarded grain and prepared for the winter.

All ministries are required to raise as much grain and grass as possible, collect all materials that are conducive to winter, and another task is to collect a large number of civilian ** and other materials.

After discussing and giving the order, Meng Qingshan returned to his room and began to recall the history he knew. It won't take long for the Japanese army to discover their activities, and while the Japanese army has not noticed him, the base area must be established during this time, so that it is possible to block the upcoming encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army by seizing this opportunity, Meng Qingshan did not know that he had been betrayed and exposed by traitors, and became the first target of the Japanese army's extermination.

Meng Qingshan was lying on the bed with some sorrow, saying that the Japanese army's imminent encirclement and suppression, he was not much nervous, but he was afraid of the coming winter, you must know that in the later generations, the end of hunger and cold are the natural enemies of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, and the cotton will be harvested in Heli County, and the estimated budget can only make 8,000 sets, which is far from enough for the second detachment of more than 20,000 troops and more than 10,000 logistics personnel, if the amount is reduced, it can be made into 16,000 sets, if it is in the winter of the later generations, it will be easy to pass, But you must know that the average temperature in the winter at this time is more than minus 40 degrees, and the general minimum temperature in the Heilongjiang region in later generations is about minus 20 degrees Celsius in the winter is how warm it is, some people only wear a velvet pants throughout the winter, and the snow Mengqingshan in later generations has only seen it when he was a child to more than half a meter thick, but now at this time the snow is more than one meter after this is not proportional at all, if you don't get thicker clothes, let alone war, whether you can go is a problem, I remember seeing in my previous life that more than 100 people in a company of volunteers in the Korean battle were frozen to death by nature.

There are also the winter clothes of the Japanese army captured in these few times, the winter clothes with excellent warmth developed by the Japanese army base camp especially for the Kwantung Army, which are very warm, and the things made by Japan are good, Meng Qingshan has to admire the meticulousness of the little devil's work.

The cotton hat with ear protectors can be removed to protect the face from frostbite, the two-fingered cotton gloves are warm and do not affect the use of weapons, and the cuffs of the coat sleeves can be removed for knee pads if necessary. Although the style is a little ugly, it is very warm.

Not only is the coat designed to be extremely scientific, but even the high-waisted toe shoes ensure that the thick snow does not sink into the shoe shell, ensuring that the feet are not frostbitten. Although the size of winter clothes is generally shorter for soldiers enlisted in the Northeast, it is better than nothing.

Meng Qingshan really didn't dare to imagine that the troops were going to be in this mountainous area where it was minus 40 degrees Celsius, dripping into ice, and it would freeze before taking off his pants and peeing on the ground, what would happen to the thinly clothed troops of the troops, he had only heard his mother say that in the winter of eight or more years, wearing a dog fur coat, a dog skin hat, cotton clothes, cotton pants, and cotton socks could not withstand the cold, not to mention now, I didn't expect that I would feel it one day.

You must know that the people of the Northeast can't stand the harsh winter, not to mention that there are many people in your army who have been captured from the Guannai. And now the temperature is constantly dropping, I am afraid that there will be less than a month to snow fluttering, if there is no winter clothes, I am afraid that this army not to mention training, combat, even freezing and frozen, God is giving me a Japanese fortress, I don't want guns, as long as there are a lot of winter clothes, just shake your head and throw away your illogical ideas.

Now we can only look forward to the results of the battle in half a month from each unit, and the Anti-Japanese Federation is now about to face a dilemma, and it depends on whether the supplies of the Japanese army in various places are sufficient, and at the same time, Meng Qingshan also asked the new regiment to go to Xiaoxinganling to hunt animals and make clothes with their fur for the winter, and Meng Qingshan is ready to discuss with the political commissar to send a person to the direction of the Soviet Union to discuss if we can buy some weapons, cotton clothes, and food from them.
