"Now I will deploy the tasks of the next troops, the losses of the divisions and brigades in this battle are not small, so the most important thing next is to recruit troops, that is, to train troops, and to restore combat effectiveness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOnly when the combat effectiveness is guaranteed, then we can continue to create greater achievements, and our Eighth Route Army can not be afraid of any challenges. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "In addition, the establishment of our army also needs to make certain adjustments, on the one hand, because we have captured a lot of new weapons and equipment, and we need to add some new troops. On the other hand, this is because we still need to improve the structure of our troops, and some units should be upgraded when they should be upgraded and expanded, and we should not care what other people think, we are an anti-Japanese army, and everything we do must be based on the overall situation of resistance against Japan, and as for the personal likes and dislikes of certain people, they absolutely cannot and will not affect us. ”

"Now I have decided that the assault brigade will be expanded into an armored division with immediate effect, and the establishment specifications will be the same as those of the integrated divisions, and it will be a division-level unit of the military region, but it will only be under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters of the military region, and it will not concurrently serve as a garrison in a military sub-division. The armored division was headed by Shi Dingfang, and Liu Qingwu, the former commander of the artillery regiment of the assault brigade, was appointed political commissar and chief of staff. ”

"A new assault force will be formed with the military district guard regiment as the backbone, and the establishment will be tentatively divided into three brigades, each of which will have two motorized infantry regiments, an artillery battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, and a guard battalion, with a total strength of 6,445 troops."

In addition, after the study and decision of the military region headquarters, it was decided to set up an aviation brigade directly under the military region, and young students with knowledge and education from all over the army were selected to train pilots, and the training of the aviation brigade was to be carried out by Wang Zhengyang, Xue Bicheng, and Huang Liren. The military and political chief of the newly formed aviation brigade has not yet been determined, and it will be personally managed by political commissar Yun for the time being. ”

"In addition, the special combat team played a great role in this battle, so the military district headquarters decided to expand the special combat team again. The establishment has been expanded from the current four special operations brigades to six, with an increase of 600 personnel, and Tie Niu is personally responsible for this matter. ”

"In addition, now that the battle is over, all units must also do a good job of rewarding meritorious personnel, those who should be promoted will be promoted, those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should be promoted will be rewarded, and we must reward those combat heroes who should be rewarded, not only material rewards, but also spiritual rewards, and the same as the certificate of merit and the big red flower, and we must also carry out propaganda throughout the army."

As soon as Ma Zheng finished speaking, the entire conference room was completely fried, and this was the first time since the establishment of the Suicha Military Region that it had officially rewarded personnel with meritorious service in combat; although there were awards before, it was mainly carried out by the units themselves, and the headquarters of the military region rarely interfered. Moreover, most of the rewards of various units are just a commendation meeting or something, and the heroes are just wearing a big red flower, and there is no special treatment.

But now listening to Ma Zheng's remarks, it is obvious that this time the military region is going to do a big job, not only to publicize, but also to carry out material rewards, and to make a big deal.

Seeing that these officers were happily discussing one by one, Ma Zheng was also in a good mood.

"That's pretty much what should be said, do you have anything else to say?" Ma Zheng continued to ask.

"Commander, half an hour ago, Wang Dechuan contacted us through the secret radio of the intelligence department of the military region, saying that a large amount of minerals were seized in Qingdao this time, and those things could not be transported, there were too many, and no one would buy them if they wanted to sell them, and I hope that our intelligence department will find some way to deal with it." Xu Yinghui got up and said.

"Oh, what minerals are there?" Ma Zheng asked.

"Coal, iron ore, timber, salt, etc., the amount is huge!" Xu Yinghui replied.

Hearing this, Ma Zheng's expression became serious. Before attacking Qingdao, Ma Zheng had investigated the situation in Qingdao and knew that it was an important window for the Japanese army to plunder China. According to historical records, after launching the war of aggression against China, Japan put forward the so-called slogan of "industrial Japan, agricultural China" economically. This is a slogan for frenzied economic plunder, the purpose of which is to plunder China's economy.

In Shandong, Japan used Qingdao as a bridgehead and the Jiaoji Railway as the main artery to plunder the rich resources in Shandong. After the Japanese occupation of Shandong, the freight volume of the Jiaoji Railway increased sharply, in 1938 the freight volume of the Jiaoji Railway was only 84,477 tons, but in 1940 it increased rapidly to 2602027 tons, an increase of 208%.

At that time, the main resources plundered by Japan were "two black and two white", that is, coal, ore, cotton, and salt. In addition, forestry, agriculture, livestock, water, industrial and other products are also among the targets of plunder.

At the end of 1939, the total amount of goods arriving at each station of the Jiaoji Line was 2230136 tons, of which 1,907,100 tons arrived in Qingdao, accounting for 85.5% of the total number of the whole line. This proves that Japan is using Qingdao Port as a springboard to steal a large amount of resources and goods. For example, a total of 1548734 tons of coal arrived at Qingdao Port, of which only more than 300,000 tons were consumed in Qingdao, and the remaining 1237581 tons were plundered to Japan.

Japanese imperialism also seized other materials, and every year Japan plundered a large amount of materials from Shandong and transported them to its own country, Korea, and other places; according to the documents and bills seized, Japan has plundered 142644 tons of salt, 28,134 tons of peanuts, 19,839 tons of peanut oil, and 21.7 million tons of iron ore from China this year alone.

At this time, Qingdao was in an extremely important position in the war of aggression against China by Japanese imperialism, and those bitches regarded Qingdao as an important stronghold of "feeding the war with war" and stepped up the economic plundering of the people of Qingdao and Shandong, so that the puppet Qingdao municipal government also mentioned this point with deep concern in its "financial proposal", and one of the passages was quite vivid and widely circulated: "... In the past two years, the burden on the business people has increased by about four times compared with the era of the party government (referring to the period of the Kuomintang rule), which is not insignificant! If there is a further increase in donations and taxes, it is not asked whether the people's power can do it. However, even if it is done, it is not advisable to be in a hurry, for example, the cattle and horses usually carry a thousand catties to load double, the force is already invincible, if it is added to 10,000 catties in vain, it will be killed!"

It is not difficult to understand why the troops were able to seize so much coal and iron ore in Qingdao Port, and for a large transit station like Qingdao, no matter how much supplies can be understood.

Ma Zheng didn't think about these things when he fought, and now that he has beaten them, how to deal with these trophies of little value but extremely important has become a big problem that needs to be solved urgently.

After a long time, Ma Zheng asked, "Then do you have any good solutions?" ”

Xu Yinghui thought for a while and said: "If it's something like grain or cotton, we can easily sell it, even if we don't sell it, we can use it ourselves, in short, it's easy to deal with, but coal and iron ore are not easy to deal with, after all, these are industrial fuels and raw materials, coal is okay to say, iron ore is not much different from stone eggs for the people." ”

In a word, Xu Yinghui has no good way.

At this time, Yun Jian opened his mouth and asked: "As an industrial city, Qingdao should be very good at selling these fuels and raw materials, why doesn't anyone buy them?" ”

Ma Zheng thought for a while and said: "In fact, it is understandable that no one buys it, after all, these materials are all subordinate to the Japanese army, and their destination is the Japanese mainland, once the Japanese reoccupy Qingdao, these things will eventually be snatched back. What's more, even if someone buys it, we can't sell it! ”

"Why, if someone is willing to pay for it, why don't we buy it?" Everyone looked at Ma Zheng in surprise, not knowing what he meant.

Ma Zheng said in a deep voice: "You may not be very clear about the current situation in Shandong, after the Japanese army captured Shandong, with the backing of force, while frantically carrying out economic plunder, it also adopted military management, commissioned management, Sino-Japanese joint ventures, leasing, cheap purchases and other methods to embezzle various industrial and commercial industries. They vigorously built many new companies and factories in Qingdao, and occupied a monopoly position in the cotton textile industry, machine building, salt industry, and industrial and commercial trade, thus controlling the economic lifeline of Qingdao. ”

"Under Japanese rule, Qingdao's national industry and commerce were generally controlled and suppressed by Japanese imperialism. As our resistance became stronger and stronger, Japan was dealt more and more heavy blows, and faced many difficulties militarily and economically, and crises were everywhere, so it tightened its rule over the people of Qingdao and the control of national industry and commerce, forcing the national industry to reduce production and close down one after another. According to statistics, 70% of the 1,100 factories and enterprises in Qingdao are forced to 'co-operate' with the Japanese or bought by the Japanese. In other words, almost half of the factories in Qingdao are now under the control of the Japanese, and what is the difference between selling coal and resources to them and the enemy?
