After several months of development, under the leadership of Meng Qingshan and others, the Anti-United Nations forces basically cleared the Japanese pioneer regiments in the areas of Wuyun, Xunhe, Longzhen, Dedu, and Nahe, and rescued tens of thousands of people, and at this time, the area of activity of the Anti-United Nations was expanded from the original 10 counties to 36 counties. The regular troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation have also been expanded from the original 25,000 to about 50,000 people, including tens of thousands of militia units and garrison units, and with the efforts of Li Yanping and others, they have established more than a dozen anti-Japanese guerrilla units in Bayan, Kedong, Keshan, Yi'an, Fufu, Qinggang, Suileng, Anda, Gannan, Jingxing, Hailun, and Tongbei These guerrillas were organized and established by Meng Qingshan's men sent out in Morgan in the early stage and some anti-United Nations forces lurking in enemy-occupied areas to fight guerrillas.

Although the base area has expanded, the heads of Meng Qingshan and others have also become bigger, and the number of troops has almost doubled, but the combat effectiveness has declined, and the weapons have not kept up, the regular troops are fortunately everyone can hold a gun, but half of the militia troops and second-line troops are holding kitchen knives, hoes and the like, and the better ones are holding bows and arrows and shotguns, but fortunately, when Meng Qingshan rescued the laborers in various counties, he rescued many Kuomintang soldiers, including many officers and soldiers who had been on the battlefield, Meng Qingshan specially trained these people for nearly two weeks and sent them to various units to serve as squad and platoon leaders to solve the shortage of officers in the troops.

But in the blink of an eye, there were nearly one million people in the entire Anti-Japanese Union base area, which made Meng Qingshan tired, and many of these people were imprisoned by the Japanese army in the tribe. When he was rescued, Meng Qingshan was dumbfounded, this group of ordinary people was in this winter of minus twenty or thirty degrees. The family of four or five people only had a thin single coat, and the rest were naked. For this reason, Meng Qingshan hurriedly asked the logistics personnel to transport the single clothes eliminated by the soldiers to solve the clothing problem, but it is not possible to rely on these single clothes to survive the winter. "Let them move without freezing to death.

Not only to manage the training of the troops, but also to manage the construction of the base area, the political workers trained in advance are simply not enough, and they can only be in Sun Wu County, so Meng Qingshan is eager to make himself like Sun Wukong to drag a millimeter into hundreds of millions of himself to complete the task, Meng Qingshan sits in the office every morning for a whole day, and is so busy that he sleeps directly on the table at night. As the party organizations in various jurisdictions were slowly established, Meng Qingshan finally broke away from them.

Political workers are very easy to do, as long as some clever and eloquent people are selected from the crowd, they can take up their posts after training, but the weapons and equipment of the troops are difficult to get, although it is difficult to get the weapons and equipment of the troops, although it is said that many fortresses and county towns have been attacked, but due to the rapid expansion of troops, the weapons are insufficient, and the arsenal can not produce guns until now, the troops used to rely on the cover of the terrain in the mountains and the Japanese army to carry out guerrilla warfare, and now the Anti-Japanese Union has left the mountains and moved to the plains, Meng Qingshan is worried that they will adapt to it, and he will not come, so Meng Qingshan asked the regiment commanders from all over to come over to hold a meeting.

In a small conference room next to the headquarters. Meng Qingshan sent the materials he had learned from the enemy to the cadres below, and explained that the cadres below were all veteran fighters of the Anti-Japanese Federation who had fought against the Japanese army for a long time. Many people have rich experience in anti-encirclement and suppression operations on the mountain, and when they saw the materials sorted out by Meng Qingshan, everyone was surprised that it was okay to do this, in order to prevent the Japanese from persecuting the common people. The Anti-Japanese Federation did not dare to contact the common people at all, fearing that the Japanese army would retaliate once they left, but seeing Meng Qingshan's battle magnified. They don't have to run into the mountains as soon as the little devils come and go around the mountains with them like before, they can use the main force. Guerrillas, combined with different terrains. Using sparrow warfare, mine warfare, and tunnel warfare, when the time comes, the devil will definitely have no return, seeing everyone's expressions, Meng Qingshan knew that his efforts were not in vain, and Meng Qingshan only used words to narrate, so that these old men listened to the left ear and the right ear came out, and they couldn't remember, but they didn't expect the commander-in-chief to actually write these combat experiences on paper, these people grabbed this piece of paper like a treasure, and finally Meng Qingshan everyone would have a copy, so they stopped robbing.

And made a decision, in the absence of a major war situation, in addition to leaving a certain amount of mobile troops, the main force of the rest of the troops into the villages to dig tunnels, in this way, so that each village at least one more company labor, but also to do a good job of anti-drug work, the use of private households to dig cellars to open up a piece, although the northeast geology is not suitable for tunnel warfare, but no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done, for this reason Meng Qingshan thought for several days to write the method of building tunnels in later generationsHe also asked all ministries to crack down on the Japanese puppet strongholds in their jurisdictions to solve the problem of cotton clothing and food.

He instructed Li Yanping, chairman of the base area, to elect all the personnel of the dozens of village committees and district committees in the base area within the shortest possible time, and to make use of the recent influence of the army among the masses to mobilize the masses to dig tunnels and make black powder with the cooperation of the main force, and to establish a militia within two months so that every household in every village in the base area can prevent poison and water, and protect the safety of the people's lives and property. Once discovered, the militia and garrison troops should be immediately notified, and the troops should cooperate with the troops to arrest the Japanese puppet spies to prevent the intelligence of the base area from being probed by the Japanese army.

In addition, each village was required to establish a militia squad, and the district squadron was to be established and the garrison regiment was pacified as a bridge between the militia and the main force, and all the soldiers who supplemented the main force of the army must go to the garrison regiment for a certain amount of training.

As an important department of the Anti-Japanese Federation, the arsenal must use black powder to manufacture iron mines, stone mines, explosive packs, and rockets in large quantities in these two months, and at the same time, the newly formed intelligence network must establish a powerful intelligence network in the entire North Manchurian region before the enemy has no target base areas, so that every move of the devils is completely in our hands...

On the third day after the end of the meeting, the whole base area was busy, and the common people, encouraged by the local cadres, gathered together to exercise their rights for the first time, elected the village committees and village representatives in their own villages, and the main force began to reduce the number of personnel, distribute the personnel of the new corps, especially the several garrison regiments that had just been expanded, and under the leadership of their respective regiment commanders and battalion commanders, they began to build the shelves of each company and platoon, distribute new recruits, and receive weapons, ammunition, and maps.

When the departments left, Meng Qingshan invited Zhou Baozhong over again.

"Comrade Qingshan, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Comrade Baozhong, our troops are expanding too fast, and we can't replenish weapons, so I want you to lead the team to the Soviet Union to buy some more weapons and equipment, what do you think?"

"Comrade Qingshan, don't you say that I am also going to the Soviet Union, now that the base area is stable, I want to take advantage of these days to go to the Soviet Union to see if I can contact the news of the Party Central Committee."

"Old Zhou, when are you going to leave?"

"Or tomorrow! Aim for an early return. ”

"Okay, then you can go and get ready!" Meng Qingshan nodded and said. (To be continued......)
