After the meeting, the various military cadres hurried back to the troops to complete the tasks assigned by Meng Qingshan, and Meng Qingshan first asked people to pick up Li Yanping and others, who were rushing here, and he took the guard company to the brigade headquarters of the guard brigade and inspected the camp and production area. Satisfaction was expressed with the internal affairs, health, logistical supply, material reserves, agricultural production, and ILO of the troops.

In order to prepare for the establishment of the Production and Construction Corps as soon as possible, Meng Qingshan deliberately selected a group of cadres who were not in good health, who were too old, and soldiers who were seriously injured and disabled, and all of them were no longer suitable for fighting on the front line.

The Production and Construction Corps has set up three divisions with more than 100,000 people to build farms in Sunwu, Nenjiang, Hebei, Tangyuan, Suibin and other places.

The location of the headquarters of the 1st Division, Bei'an Agricultural Reclamation Administration: It has jurisdiction over the 1st Regiment (Hongxing Farm), the 2nd Regiment (Zhaoguang Farm, Zhaoguang Town), the 3rd Regiment (Changshui Farm), the 4th Regiment (Construction Farm, (now Xunke Farm) Xunke County), the 5th Regiment (Wudalianchi Farm, Dedu County), the 6th Regiment (Erlongshan Farm, Dedu County), and the 7th Regiment (Yongjin Farm), a total of seven regiments.

The location of the headquarters of the Second Division, Baoquanling Agricultural Reclamation Administration; It has jurisdiction over the 8th Regiment (290 Farm, Suibin County), the 9th Regiment (Suibin Farm, Suibin County), the 10th Regiment (Jiangbin Farm, Luobei County), the 11th Regiment (Junchuan Farm, Luobei County), the 12th Regiment (Mingshan Farm, Luobei County), the 13th Regiment (Yanjun Farm, Luobei County), the 14th Regiment (Gongqing Farm, Luobei County), the 15th Regiment (Baoquanling Farm, Luobei County), the 16th Regiment (Volkihe Farm, now Xinhua Farm, Hegang City), the 17th Regiment (Tangyuan Farm, Tangyuan County), a total of 10 regiments.

The location of the third division, Nenjiang Agricultural Reclamation Administration; Jurisdiction over the 18th Regiment (Heshan Farm. Nenjiang County), 19th Regiment (Yuejin Farm, Nenjiang County), 20th Regiment (Daxijiang Farm, Nenjiang County), 21st Regiment (Tiefeng Farm, Nenjiang County), 22nd Regiment (Jianshan Farm, Nenjiang County), 23rd Regiment (Qianfeng Farm, Nenjiang County), 24th Regiment (Invalids Farm. Nenjiang County), the 25th Regiment (Xuguang Farm, Nenjiang County), the 26th Regiment (Red May Farm, Nenjiang County), and the 27th Regiment (Shengshan Farm, Shengshan Fortress) were a total of 10 regiments.

The 1st Independent Regiment (Black Mountain Farm, Bayan Banner), the 2nd Independent Regiment (Mohe Animal Husbandry Farm), the 3rd Independent Regiment (Zhenxing Horse Farm, Erkena Left Banner).

The veteran Anti-Japanese Federation, the former director of the logistics department of the Second Route Army and the Fourth Army, Sun Baozhu, was the commander of the First Division, and Sun Feng was the commander of the Second Division. Xi Lianghan was the commander of the Third Division, Zhang Lansheng was appointed as the first deputy commander of the Corps (presiding over the work of the Corps), Cheng Wenjun was appointed as the political commissar of the Corps, and the commander of the Corps was Lu Dongsheng, who was sent from Guannei, and led more than 3,000 anti-United Nations fighters and more than 100,000 people to the Corps' combat posts in the cantonment and garrisoning of the border as soon as possible.

"Commander-in-chief, in order to form this production and construction corps, half of the division's troops were taken away, and these soldiers were all veterans of a hundred battles, and Comrade Lu Dongsheng was an excellent military cadre. How can you get him to be the head of the farm? Zhou Baozhong asked Meng Qingshan, he didn't understand such an excellent military cadre very much. It should be arranged to the main force, why should it be arranged in the production and construction corps, not to mention that in order to form the production and construction corps, many, many outstanding fighters were transferred from the main force of the Anti-Japanese Federation, which is very opposed.

Under the circumstance that there is still a shortage of qualified senior military officers in the military region, it is only a matter of passing the test of war. It is also a waste of talent to put a mature talent in such a position that he thinks is a farm leader, and he also has more than 3,000 fighters of the Anti-United Nations, you must know that the Anti-United Nations has just experienced a major war, and the loss of troops is very serious. Isn't it even worse to divide the troops now?

After listening to the reason for Zhou Baozhong's opposition, Meng Qingshan, who knew that he had misunderstood his meaning, said: "Political commissar, this production and construction corps is not as simple as you imagined. ”

"My idea is that this production and construction corps, which is mainly located in the Nenjiang, Sunwu, Luobei, Suibin, Tangyuan, and Heli areas, will not only be built into a major supply and production base for our troops' grain, cotton, and meat, but will also be responsible for the training and training of reservists in the troops."

"Puppet Manchurian Sanjiang Province and Longjiang Province, Xing'an Dong Province, Xing'an North Province Up to now, our jurisdiction has a total of 19 counties under our jurisdiction, including Morgen, Nahe, Dedu, Keshan, Kedong, Longzhen, Tongbei, Xunhe, Wuyun, Foshan, Luobei, Suibin, Tangyuan, Bayan Banner, Mohe, Gupu, Molidawa Banner, Erkena Left and Right Banner, a total of 19 counties, of course, there are some county towns are also within our scope, but there are very close to the Japanese army, and they will face the danger of being captured at any time, so there are no statistics. It covers an area of more than 230,000 square kilometers. In addition to the areas still occupied by the enemy, the population is roughly more than 3.9 million in the base areas, and among these people, the agricultural population accounts for at least 6 to 70 percent. I estimate that without affecting the overall production of agriculture and animal husbandry, we can provide us with at least 200,000 reserve soldiers. And this number is only a rough estimate. ”

"In order to better fight the Japanese army and produce at the same time, this production and construction corps was formed, and according to the current number, the final population of the entire production corps will reach hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. And these hundreds of thousands of people will all be under militarized management. According to the original hometown, each county is organized into a brigade-level corps, and the male population suitable for military service age is used as the benchmark, and is organized into regiment-level detachments, brigades, squadrons, and other formations. ”

"All corps and detachments shall form normal local party committees and governments, which shall be led by the local party committees and governments in peacetime. However, the Armed Forces Work Department was formed by the main force and some active personnel from various sub-divisions as a working department of the Party committee. In peacetime, they are responsible for the military training of school-age men in their respective jurisdictions, and in wartime, they directly serve as commanders at all levels on the spot. ”

"These people are usually engaged in agriculture and all kinds of production and construction, mainly providing grain, cotton, and other necessary means of production and subsistence for the base areas, and conducting military training in their spare time. When necessary, personnel suitable for service can be transferred to peacetime units, and after a short period of training, a large number of troops can be replenished. This is also a way to hide troops from the people, and as long as we open up the wasteland and cultivate the land this year, then we will no longer have to worry about the food and cotton clothes of the troops this winter. ”

"It's really great for the commander-in-chief to hear you say this, but why is production only built in the six regions of Nenjiang, Sunwu, Luobei, Suibin, Tangyuan, and Heli, and not in other areas?" Liu Yalou asked on the side.

"Other county towns are the front line of the confrontation between our army and the Japanese army. For a long time to come, it is very likely to become the main battlefield of tug-of-war between our army and the Japanese army. If we cultivate land there, even if we plant crops, it will be difficult to harvest in the midst of war. Even if we open up wasteland and farm in the rear, I expect that the devils are very likely to carry out a large-scale crusade against our base areas when the autumn harvest comes, and their goals are twofold, one is to see if we can be wiped out, and the second is to rob us of food and let us starve to death.
