After a week of continuous marching, Meng Qingshan arrived at Morgan with troops and a large amount of supplies, which was later known as Nenjiang County, and the guard brigade, rapid reaction brigade, cavalry regiment, and artillery brigade under the leadership of Meng Qingshan transferred to the battle for nearly a month, and finally returned to the long-lost base area. The second unit that came from the base area to greet him was Li Zhaolin, commander of the Fifth Army Division in the North Manchurian base area, and Feng Zhongyun, political commissar.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Li Zhaolin, commander of the Fifth Army Division, and Feng Zhongyun, political commissar, were ordered to come to meet the large troops." Li Zhaolin led the troops to Meng Qingshan, solemnly saluted the commander-in-chief Meng Qingshan, who looked very tired in front of him, and did not put it down for a long time.

"Okay, okay, Commander Li, you first pick up the wounded, arrange for people to receive supplies, and then prepare a hot meal for the troops. In order to protect the supplies these days, we have exchanged fire with the pursuit troops of the little devils, and we were bombed by the devil's planes on the way, and the soldiers have not eaten a hot meal for several days, Meng Qingshan held Li Zhaolin's hands tightly, and said with excitement on his face.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the meal is ready. The first regiment, quickly, took the wounded and took the soldiers back to the headquarters, and the second and third regiments led the militia and fellow villagers to quickly receive supplies. Li Zhaolin turned his head and ordered loudly to the troops behind him.

Immediately, the soldiers of the three regiments behind Li Zhaolin, who were full of physical strength, took over the seriously wounded and materials in the hands of the comrades, took everyone back to the headquarters, and entertained everyone for dinner. Of course, after a week's time, the devils went crazy and carried out fierce pursuit and bombing against the anti-union forces, when the soldiers smelled the smell of rice. I couldn't control the constant protests in my stomach anymore, and frantically flocked to the cooking class that kept coming out of the smell of rice.

Even Meng Qingshan couldn't control himself. In the strange eyes of Li Zhaolin, Feng Zhongyun and others. Gobbled up bowls of rice and three tortillas.

"Well, Zhaolin, Zhongyun. You don't know, let's fight the devil's important town Qiqihar. Most of the materials inside were transported away, I didn't expect this little devil to send a large number of soldiers to pursue, in order to cover the team transporting materials, the soldiers successively fought with the Japanese army in Gannan, central Boketu, Honghualiangzi, Buxi and the Japanese pursuers, on average, more than ten battles a day, this Monday to the soldiers are basically relying on dry food to survive, even a sip of hot water is difficult to drink, by the way, the soldiers' camping arrangements are ready? Meng Qingshan was eating. He said.

"Commander-in-Chief, don't worry! The soldiers were properly accommodated, and all the seriously wounded were initially treated with medicines, and they were all out of danger for the time being, Li Zhaolin quickly replied.

"Okay, it's arranged, that's it. I'm going to have a good rest after dinner, there's nothing important, and no one can disturb me. And also. Report the safety of Political Commissar Zhou and Deputy Chief of Staff Cui who stayed in the headquarters and let them not worry. There is a political commissar in the headquarters, I am absolutely relieved and tell the political commissar. First seize the time to treat the wounded, and we will talk about the rest later, without waiting for Li Zhaolin and others to answer. He put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked into the room. After a while, the sound of sleeping could be heard in the room.

Voices are heard. Li Zhaolin and the others shook their heads helplessly, took everyone out of the room, and began to follow Meng Qingshan's orders. When Zhou Baozhong, who was anxiously waiting for news from Meng Qingshan at the headquarters, Meng Qingshan led his troops to the Fifth Army Division smoothly, and after successfully meeting with the troops who came to meet him, his heart that had been worried for a week was finally relaxed. Breathing a sigh of relief, he began to deal with post-war matters.

After a day, the loud wake-up call woke up Meng Qingshan, who had been resting for more than ten hours. Meng Qingshan opened his eyes, which were still hazy, and a beam of sunlight shining through the crack in the window shone on his face. Meng Qingshan put on his military uniform and came to the window. On the playground outside the window, the fighters are assembling in a company.

The sun in early summer is very bright, the sun that has just risen feels warm on the face, the weather in the northeast is very strange, people can freeze to death in winter, and sometimes it is hot in summer, even if it is the end of April, but the temperature has reached about 15 °C, looking at the soldiers some are still wearing thick winter clothes, Meng Qingshan touched his chin and thought that it was time for the soldiers to change their clothes, but the materials in the logistics department in the summer military uniforms have just been made less than 10,000 sets, but fortunately, 30,000 sets of Japanese summer clothes were captured in the warehouse in Qiqihar City, As long as they are dyed green and slightly changed, they will be a summer military uniform of the Anti-United Nations, as well as hundreds of thousands of catties of cloth obtained from Qiqihar, and there is still a surplus for all the troops to change their clothes, and strive to let the soldiers have a big change of clothes when the hot summer comes.

"I don't know if the people in the base area have delayed spring planting after this sweep, and if they do, then the rations of the Anti-Japanese Federation this year still need to be purchased from Jiangbei." Meng Qingshan suddenly said to himself.

Although he can rely on importing grain from Jiangbei, Meng Qingshan knows that the entire Soviet Union will also face an armored storm in June next year, and the Soviet Union will have no time to pay attention to him at that time, not to mention that there are nearly 100,000 people in the Anti-Japanese Union Army, and the rations of 100,000 people need a lot of money. Of course, Meng Qingshan also knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and this is common everywhere. People's weapons and materials are not blown by the wind, and they cannot be given to you in vain.

Fortunately, this time, Meng Qingshan seized a large amount of money from Qiqihar City. In addition to taking out one ton of gold seized at the Qiqihar Puppet Manchurian Bank and exchanging it for machinery and equipment, the remaining more than 10,000 taels of gold had to be reserved for the future activities of the troops, and it was impossible to use them at all, not to mention that Meng Qingshan still wanted to develop and build a base area, and he wanted to set up a simple bank.

The gold seized in the various gold mines in Luobei and Tangyuan is only sand gold in its natural state. To be truly used, further refinement is needed. Although the gold mining ship was completely seized in the Luobei gold mine, the production of the Luobei gold mine was not affected.

But gold is not a coal mine, and it is normal to produce millions of tons a year. Even the largest gold mine in the entire Xiaoxinganling area, Foshan's Wulaga gold mine has an annual output of only tens of thousands of taels. Although the self-sufficient hands now control several large gold mines in Luobei, Foshan, and Tangyuan, the annual output is estimated to reach more than 100,000 taels.

However, the output of these gold is based on the premise that they can firmly control the current territory, and these gold are the capital of the future activities of the troops, and they cannot all be exchanged for materials. The most important point is that they must not leave Jiangbei with the impression that they are rich and can take out a large amount of gold anytime and anywhere, otherwise with their greedy personality, they may not be able to chew Meng Qingshan even human bones.

However, although gold cannot be easily sold, fortunately, the small Xing'an Mountains and the greater Khing'an Mountains are rich in resources. If nothing else, a single standout coal resource is enough to use. It's just that the miners have all been certified as soldiers by themselves, and most of the rest are old and frail by Meng Qingshan and placed in the villages in the base area, and Heli is now on the front line of confrontation with the Japanese army in the east, and coal mine production cannot be resumed for the time being.

Meng Qingshan has already made up his mind that when the situation stabilizes, he will immediately resume production of the coal mines in the Heli area. As for the miners, Meng Qingshan certainly couldn't let the people in the base area do such a dangerous thing. Meng Qingshan has already decided on the target of the source of the miners, the captured Japanese army, the puppet Manchu army who refused to surrender and the die-hard elements among the puppet Manchu officials at all levels are all an excellent source of miners, listening to the report of Zhang Yunzhi of the second division that nearly 400 little devils have been caught, and the Shengshan fortress has also caught more than 1,000 little devils, about 2,000 people in fragments, Meng Qingshan judged that it is impossible for the Japanese army to attack in the past few months, because after a year of fighting, they have been injured and have to replenish the troops, What's more, in a few months, the Hundred Regiments War launched by Mr. Zhu will shock China and foreign countries, and some of them will keep the little devils busy, and Meng Qingshan can also take advantage of this opportunity to build a base and strive to make a big profit in the Soviet-German battle.
