Early the next morning, Meng Qingshan just got up, ready to go out to drill with the soldiers, just opened the door and found that there was a person at the door who fell in, scared Meng Qingshan and hurriedly held on, and saw that the person who fell was the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief slowly opened his eyes and said: "Comrade Qingshan, I was so fascinated by the two books you gave me last night, I forgot to ask you where did you get these two books?" I was embarrassed to disturb you sleeping, so I squinted at the door for a while, but I didn't expect to sleep all night. ”

Meng Qingshan knew that the commander-in-chief had always been in the northeast looking at Yan'an, and in later history, when the Anti-Japanese Federation retreated to the Soviet Union to prepare for the camp, the most important thing that made Zhou Baozhong and Feng Zhongyun uneasy was that the problem of connecting relations with the Central Committee had not been resolved. They have made all kinds of efforts to do so. Before the Boli Conference, Zhou Baozhong had crossed the border to the Soviet Union several times to look for the CCP's liaison station in the Far East of the Comintern. After the Boli Conference, in order to get in touch with Yan'an as soon as possible and obtain instructions and leadership from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Zhou Baozhong wrote a letter to Vasily, the representative of the Soviet Far East Army, on December 23, 1940, saying: "I hope to get your permission and help, and we will send representatives to the seat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in the interior to solve the Northeast problem. Or, with your help, you can receive direct instructions from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. ”

During the first Boli Conference, Zhou Baozhong asked the Soviet Frontier Party organizations to assist in establishing radio communication links with Yan'an and other places...... However, the efforts of the generals of the Anti-Japanese Union to establish contact with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China have not been successful.

"The commander-in-chief was obtained by Comrade Yanping with a long time when he was trading with the Soviet Union."

When he heard that Li Yanping was going to trade with the Soviet Union, the commander-in-chief's eyes lit up and asked, "Did you get the contact information of the Party Central Committee, or the letter?" ”

"No?" Meng Qingshan shook his head and said.

After hearing Meng Qingshan's words, the commander-in-chief's face had a hint of melancholy. Meng Qingshan shook his head and didn't know how to persuade him.

Seeing Xiao Huzi, who went to pick up food, came in with a few lunch boxes, Meng Qingshan waved his hand and said, "Commander-in-chief." Let's eat first, what do you have to say. We're talking after dinner. I am not in a hurry for this moment, and I have already sent people south to look for the party organization in the south a month ago, and I hope that it will not be long before I have contact. ”

"Really?"

"Really."

Seeing Xiaohuzi in front of him full of rice porridge in a military lunch box, a box of North Korean pickles and spicy cabbage, a box of Japanese canned food, and four white-flour steamed buns, the commander-in-chief, who was still a little melancholy just now, heard that Meng Qingshan actually sent someone to contact the Party Central Committee, and said with a smile on his face: "Qingshan, you said that he can reach the Guannai safely, you must know that the little devil's search is very strict." ”

"Commander-in-chief, you can rest assured, eat first, if we don't contact the Party Central Committee this time. Then I will definitely be able to contact the earth next time, but it will be a year later. Meng Qingshan pretended to be mysterious, because he knew that a year later, it was Germany that attacked the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union was defeated and retreated, and the Soviet Union needed a force to contain the Japanese Kwantung Army, so when the time came, they didn't need me to beg them, they themselves had to send someone to contact me, saying that I should not provoke the relationship between the Soviet Union and Japan, and let the Japanese army and Germany fight the Soviet Union together when the time came!

The meeting launched for this anti-Japanese federation was less than half a month. Almost all the anti-United Nations troops who could reach it were gathered in the Hormojin fortress area, except for the Fifth Regiment operating in Yilan and Boli and the Jingleting Division of the First Brigade in the Raohe Mountains in the Xiajiang area, they could not arrive, but Gao Yumin, secretary of the Xiajiang Party Committee, finally arrived at the fortress after a long journey of several days, and the rest of the troops sent a cadre to the fortress to attend the meeting.

This time, the entire Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation gathered in Khormozhin, the fortress of the Japanese army, and if the Japanese army knew about it, they would definitely send a large army to destroy them. It's a pity that the Japanese army is now waiting for the news of the Fuhu plan, if it was in the Murgen Fortress, although he was the general secretary of the military sub-bureau and the commander of the second detachment Meng Qingshan. can talk about the seniority in the Anti-Japanese Federation, although the soldiers at hand are strong. But it's an absolute petty character. Although the Communist Party's troops do not pay much attention to seniority, there is also the problem of whether they can command themselves.

What's more, there is still the problem of establishment. these troops. There are not many people, but they almost belong to the three different fronts of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Together, less than fifty. On the third day after the arrival of the commander-in-chief, Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, and Meng Qingshan, as the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese struggle of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, held a meeting of cadres at and above the regimental level of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Route Armies.

Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of Meng Qingshan, this group of generals who thought they were their predecessors admired by each of them threw themselves into the ground, and through Meng Qingshan's continuous development and growth, the Japanese forces of aggression against China stepped up their political inducement to surrender to the Kuomintang diehards and frantically encircled and suppressed the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the base areas and guerrilla areas behind enemy lines. In the two years from 1939 to 1940, the area of activity of the Anti-United Nations was reduced from the original 70 counties to less than 10 counties, and the anti-United Nations forces were also reduced from the original 45,000 to about 2,000 people, but now the scope of the anti-United Nations activities was occupied by Meng Qingshan in six counties, and the scope of activities was expanded to more than 20 counties, and the troops grew to more than 30,000 people.

Meng Qingshan walked to the map by the wall and said: "We have gone through the two battles of Toluo Mountain and Tangwanghe and the Battle of Khormojin and Nenjiang not long ago, and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese Fourth Division, the First Division and the Japanese puppet army in the Shangjiang area. As a result, from Foshan in the west, to the confluence of the Songhua River and Heilongjiang River in Suibin in the east, and as far as the Fangzheng and Tonghe areas in the south, there is no large Japanese puppet army, and the Xiajiang area relies on the mountains of Wandashan to establish a base area behind enemy lines, and has obtained a large number of weapons and equipment, and the base area has also established an arsenal to independently develop and produce weapons and equipment. ”

"Comrade Qingshan, can we really develop and produce weapons and equipment?" The commander-in-chief asked.

"Commander-in-chief, you wait for a while, after the meeting, I will take you to the arsenal workshop to visit, not long ago we just developed the Type 39 mortar, commonly known as the conscienceless gun, the Toluo Mountain and Tangwanghe ambushes relied on this kind of artillery to win, and the rocket launchers that have just been developed are specially used to deal with the armored vehicles and tanks of the Japanese army."

I heard Meng Qingshan say this, the commanders and fighters of the First Route Army and the commanders and fighters of the Third Route Army wanted to visit immediately, they had also established an arsenal in the area under their jurisdiction before, but their arsenal could not be compared with the arsenal that Meng Qingshan said, with this arsenal, the Anti-Union would return to a steady stream of guns and ammunition, and there would be no need to fight with the Japanese army in order to save ammunition.

"However, although the situation is good at present, the speed of expansion of our troops is too fast, and there is an extreme shortage of inexperienced cadres, especially qualified political cadres. Moreover, our troops still need to focus on field warfare, and there is a lack of cadres and units to form local troops. Therefore, the current situation in the Shangjiang area is not bad now, but we have been able to defend many places, especially Suibin County, which is often harassed by the Japanese army, and when the Japanese army raided Luobei County, the Kung Fu Headquarters did not learn the news until two days later, resulting in the death of more than 500 innocent villagers in the base area. ”

"If we can't hold it, creating a solid anti-Japanese base area can only be empty talk. Without a base, we are rootless duckweed. What is lacking is not only weapons and ammunition, but also all materials, even the most basic food for human survival. ”

"We want to break the Japanese army's purge of us, not just to transfer when necessary. Rather, it is necessary to conduct joint operations on the internal and external fronts. The inner line is dominated by local troops, and the outer line organizes a strong field army. This mode of operation requires not only a field army with strong combat effectiveness, but also tenacious local troops, and this is the military division plan; the most crucial thing is that because of the lack of personnel, local work can hardly be carried out, and the existing favorable situation cannot be brought into play at all. In order to create a solid rear for all the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast, and to hold the territory we have beaten down, we need to reorganize. ”

Although he did not say it explicitly, Meng Qingshan's words also told these people that all troops must be reorganized. As for whether to stay in the army or to work in local areas, whether to be reorganized into a main force, or to be used as a local force, the General Headquarters will make unified arrangements.

This group of people scratched their ears and cheeks when they heard this, they knew that if they were reorganized into the main force, there would be a tough battle, and if they were left to work in the local area, it would be a trivial matter to manage the common people, so these guys all looked at the list in Meng Qingshan's hand with their eyes wide open.

Looking at this group of people looking at him, Meng Qingshan smiled and said: "The specific list still has to be discussed, and I will inform you after I finish discussing with the commander-in-chief, Commander Yang, Commander Zhao, and Commander Li, and now I will take you to visit our arsenal."
