Considering the expansion of the team, in order to protect the place and increase the number of soldiers and civilians, it would take a long time to rescue the villagers by relying solely on the group tribes that attacked the Japanese army, but it was impossible for the Japanese army to give Meng Qingshan time, so Meng Qingshan thought that a military division should be established. After the establishment of military divisions, so that the troops can be rapidly expanded, attacking group tribes to expand the ranks, a regiment can even develop into three to four regiments, although the combat effectiveness has decreased in the short term, but it can be fought and practiced at the same time, in order to deal with the Japanese army's upcoming crazy riots, just like when the resistance was strong, there were more than 30,000 people. In the northeast, which is more than 1 million square kilometers, how much can less than 30,000 anti-Japanese federations shake the Japanese puppet? In many cases, it's just scratching the itch, so the Japanese puppets are too lazy to send a large army to clean up, so Meng Qingshan also wants to let the anti-coalition forces continue to grow and develop before the Japanese army comes, and at the same time solve the food problem of the large army together, and also harass the Japanese army and reduce the blockade of the Japanese army.

"These days, I have studied with the commander-in-chief and others, in order to unite the troops to fight in unity and deal with the upcoming encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army. The adjusted structure is now announced as follows. The original structure of the Anti-Japanese Federation was abolished and the North Manchurian Base Area was established, with Commander Meng Qingshan, Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu, Political Commissar Zhou Baozhong, Chief of Staff Cui Shiquan, Director of the Political Department Wei Zhengmin, and Chairman of the Base Area Government Li Yanping. Ji Qing, director of the General Logistics Division, Jin Ce, director of the Base Intelligence Division, and Song Mingzhong, director of the Security Division, commanded five military subdivisions in order to encircle and suppress the incoming heavy troops of the Japanese army. ”

The previous detachment was reorganized into the First Army Division, with the Daxing'an Mountains as the center, and its scope of activity was in the vast western part of North Manchuria, such as Litun, Buxi, Jilmutu, Mohe, and Huma. Commander Wang Yachen, Deputy Commander Zhang Zhongxi. Chief of Staff Wang Weiyu and Director of the Political Department Tang Yongming. It has three main infantry regiments and a number of local units.

"The Second Army Division has now appointed Chai Shirong, the former commander of the Fifth Army, as the commander of the Second Division, Qi Zhizhong, the deputy commander, and Cao Yafan, the political commissar. It is centered on Taipinggou Township, Luobei County. The scope of activities includes Suibin County, Foshan, Tangyuan, Wuyun County, and other vast northern areas of North Manchuria, and it has three main regiments and a number of local troops under its jurisdiction. ”

"The Third Army Division, Commander Zhao Shangzhi, Deputy Commander Dai Hongbin, Political Commissar Li Zaide, Xia Fengshan as the center. The scope of activities includes the northern part of Tangyuan, Fangzheng County, Tonghe County, Magnolia, Dongxing, Yilan County and other vast riverside areas, under the jurisdiction of three infantry regiments, a number of local troops. ”

"Fourth Army Division, Commander Jingleting. Wang Minggui, deputy commander, and Gao Yumin, former secretary of the Xiajiang Special Committee, were transferred to the post of political commissar and director of the Political Department of the Fourth Army Sub-district. It has three main regiments and a number of local troops. ”

"The Fifth Army Division is composed of the remaining officers of the original three detachments, and the commander is Li Zhaolin. Director of the Political Department Zhao Jingfu, Political Commissar Feng Zhongyun. Centered on Dedu. The scope of activities is the vast Longjiang areas such as Morgen, Longzhen, Nahe, Kedong and Keshan, and there are three main regiments under its jurisdiction. A number of local troops. ”

This is the deployment of the five military subdivisions in the base area, do you have any opinions? Looking at the excited crowd, Zhou Baozhong asked.

Seeing that everyone did not speak, Meng Qingshan continued: "The operational functions of each military sub-division are to eliminate local enemy and puppet forces, organize and develop local armed forces, and form a grassroots anti-Japanese democratic regime. When the main force fought against the Japanese army, it covered the local people and the local government, and fought in cooperation with the main force. ”

"When each military subdivision goes to its own operational area, it must set up corresponding party committees at all levels. The political commissar of each military sub-district concurrently serves as the first secretary of the party committee of the district, and the commander serves as the second secretary. The headquarters should establish a party group in accordance with the system of the general headquarters. The troops should be organized according to the main force, and the party branches should be established at the company level. Each platoon should also form a party group. ”

"To put it bluntly, your main opponents now are the puppet Manchurian police forces at all levels and local organizations such as the so-called Xuanfu Ban and the Concord Society. As for whether your troops can grow in the future and whether they can be upgraded to the main force, it depends on what you do in your own territory. ”

"Of course, at present, the Japanese army in the Xiajiang area is gathering heavy troops, and the main force of the headquarters is too far away, you can only improvise, Comrade Gao Yumin, wait for you to set off, bring more food, weapons and ammunition, and at the same time preserve your strength is the most important thing."

"Also, the boundary between the main forces and the local forces is not absolute, it does not mean that you are now the head of the main force regiment and you will continue to do it. If the main force did not fight well, it was demoted to a military sub-division unit and a garrison regiment. The local troops fought well and were upgraded to the main forces. ”

Meng Qingshan's voice fell, and the commander-in-chief took over the topic and said: "In order to ensure that you can open up the situation as soon as possible, the headquarters will let you bring a group of military and political personnel who have just graduated from the military academy to supplement your foundation, weapons and ammunition, and two hundred war horses, but only this time is that the headquarters will support your various military divisions for free, and then you will have to rely on yourself, of course, you can also transport weapons and materials to the headquarters here in exchange for ready-made weapons, after all, the headquarters also has a number of materials, use some less, and do not support everyone continuously." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is up to you whether your troops can develop and grow, and whether you can upgrade your military subdivisions to military districts under the jurisdiction of several military subdivisions. In order to ensure that you can carry out smoothly, the headquarters can be said to have exhausted all the money. ”

"After returning home, the top priority of the commanders of the various military divisions is to seize time with the Japanese army, destroy the enemy's group tribes and rescue the people, establish and consolidate political power, dig tunnels and trenches, train the militia, and form a fighting fortress in every county town and every village and town. In this way, in the event of a small group of enemy sweeps, the county brigade and district squad can destroy them with the cooperation of the militia. Even if they encounter a brigade-level devil sweep, local troops and militia can also rely on tunnels and mine formations to maneuver with the enemy, and wait until the main force arrives. ”

Under the guidance of Meng Qingshan's ideology, Zhou Baozhong, Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, Li Zhaolin, and others, in the name of the North Manchurian Military Region, issued the "Instructions on Strengthening the Construction of the North Manchurian Base Area," demanding that the main force cooperate with the counties and, first, quickly complete the work of organizing the county party committee and the county government. and quickly formed various mass anti-Japanese organizations. Second, the main force was required to concentrate for a period of time to help North Manchuria set up county brigades, district squads, and militia joint defense organizations, train the militia on a large scale, and form and strengthen the village-level political power in North Manchuria. Third, all counties are required to rely on the main force and the county brigade to unleash the masses freely, each district must have a work team, every village must have workers, each village must elect a village head, a militia captain, and a woman director, and mobilize the masses to dig tunnels and ditches in accordance with the instructions of the military region, so as to form a tunnel and transportation network that connects villages and villages.

For a time, the entire area under the jurisdiction of the Anti-Japanese Federation was in full swing, and becoming a militiaman, learning to shoot, throwing bombs, burying mines, digging tunnels, and digging trenches became the main work of young and middle-aged people. Even the women organized. Under the leadership of a task force composed of veterans and wounded soldiers, they also began to learn to shoot, throw bombs and bury mines, make military shoes and rations in their free time, support troops and militia to prepare for the upcoming arrival of the Japanese army, and also sent many military engineering teams to destroy the Japanese army's various transportation arteries, notify the underground party in various cities to propagate the slogan of the Anti-Japanese Federation, encourage the youth of Northeast China to join the army to resist Japan, and at the same time publicize the recovery of the North Manchurian base area, so that many Northeast people with their wives and children ran to the base area, and in just half a month, tens of thousands of people were added to the area under the jurisdiction of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Among them, thousands of bandits also descended the mountains to join the army. (To be continued......)
