Both sides of the enemy and us have begun to secretly compete on the issue of people, and the devils are also using their huge war machines to equip these special combat teams of hundreds of people with weapons and supplies.

In terms of weapons and equipment, Shimizu Daisa used Britain, the United States, and Germany, the field radio was American, the submachine gun was the British Stern, the squad machine gun was the MG of the German ally, and the fire support was also the German mortar and the Japanese army's improved grenadier canister.

Almost all of the equipment is specially configured, and the purchase of materials carried by individual soldiers this time is much more time-consuming and laborious than the special combat team formed last time.

It can be said that the list issued by Shimizu will be obtained by the War Department through various channels to find a way to get it in the shortest possible time, and Shimizu Daizo can only take his team members to train every day.

Yang Bangzi can't do it yet, Qing Shui Dazuo can't do such a thing of throwing his sleeves and ignoring firewood, rice, oil and salt, he, the chief official of the first district, is walking the horse post, but the most he can deal with every day is the affairs of the entire district.

Didn't you say that Hong Mei and Lao Feng helped deal with it? But don't forget, our party has always been a layer-by-layer approval system, even if Yang Bangzi does not participate in the review of various affairs, but the right to sign after the most must be fulfilled.

For example, the financial revenues and expenditures of the entire 11 th Army sub-district, and the training and organization of the basic militia in the jurisdiction of the entire military sub-district, etc., are all part of the daily work.

Don't look at Yang Bangzi's habit of being a shopkeeper, but now everything has to be run by him and his team, and tens of thousands of people have to take care of it. Thousands of people had organs and troops in charge, and the situation forced him to change from a single military commander to the leader of a local government!

These soldiers are learning and improving, and so is Yang Stick! Every day is also happening with unexpected changes!

You see, the supply of more than 1,000 soldiers, military salaries, and so on, all need to be assisted by the first-level local government in this military sub-district, and this can be regarded as the use of the party, government, and military strength of the entire sub-district and the support of the common people to ensure it.

It's the same when you look at the devils, behind the Japanese army is the state apparatus of the entire Japanese Empire, from the formal emperor to the cabinet, from the cabinet ministers to the military department. From the military department to the various subdivisions. When I finally came to Shimizu Osa, it was like a big tree reaching a branch in the crown from the root.

Don't think that the Eighth Route is a rabble, many film and television bureaus and novels have also downplayed or avoided talking about the organizational structure of our party's regime and the Eighth Route Army base area, but they support the entire anti-Japanese base area in North China. It is precisely this neglected regime.

As small as a button on a soldier's military cap. It is as large as a campaign-level operation such as the Battle of the Hundred Regiments. It is inseparable from the structure of political power from the most basic level of village-level political power to the highest level of political power, just like saying that the combat units of the Eighth Route Army are limbs and hands and feet, and the common people are flesh and blood. And the regime of our party is the skeleton meridian!

To give you an example, the highest one in the complete political structure is the political power at the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border district level, and the smallest one is the political power at the village level.

The anti-Japanese democratic regime, led by the working class (through our Party) and based on the alliance of workers and peasants, unites all democratic people who are in favor of resisting Japan, and exercises dictatorship over traitors and reactionaries, which is the people's democratic dictatorship of the new democratic revolution.

In the anti-Japanese base areas, all Chinese who have reached the age of 18 and are in favor of anti-Japanese resistance and democracy have the right to vote and to be elected, regardless of class, ethnicity, political party, men and women, beliefs, and educational level. The basic starting point of the anti-Japanese democratic regime's policy was to oppose Japanese imperialism, protect the anti-Japanese people, regulate the interests of all strata of the anti-Japanese society, improve the lives of the workers and peasants, and suppress traitors and reactionaries.

The anti-Japanese democratic regime implemented a three-three system in the distribution of personnel in the organs of political power. The anti-Japanese democratic regimes in the base areas are not subordinate to each other, but are under the unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, and are consistent in their principles, policies, and paces. The organs of power of the democratic regimes in the anti-Japanese base areas are divided into two major systems: the power organs and the administrative organs.

The organs of power at all levels of the anti-Japanese democratic regime are the senatories at all levels in the anti-Japanese base areas. Generally, there are three levels of border districts (provinces), counties, and townships, and in Shandong, there are also administrative offices and prefecture-level senators between provinces and counties. The names of each base are slightly different. For example, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region and the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border District are called the parliaments at the county level, and the grassroots level is called the villagers' assembly and the villagers' representative meeting.

The senators (councillors, deputies, etc.) of the anti-Japanese democratic regime at all levels were composed of senators (councillors and deputies) elected by the people of the anti-Japanese base areas by universal, equal, direct, and secret ballot methods. Incompetent senators (parliamentarians, deputies) are the right of voters to be replaced. Some anti-Japanese base areas even hired a small number of representative figures as senators.

The functions and powers of the Senate are as follows: (1) elect and dismiss the chairman, vice-chairman, members of the border region government, and the president of the High Court, and supervise the impeachment of government and judicial officials;

(2) Formulate separate laws and regulations for the border areas, and approve various plans for civil affairs, finance, education, construction, food, and military;

(3) To approve the budget proposed by the government of the border region, examine its final accounts, decide on the levy, reduction, increase and abolition of tax revenues and the issuance of public bonds in the border region;

(4) To decide on matters submitted for consideration by the chairman of the government of the border region, government committees, departments, presidents and mass organizations, and to decide on important matters that should be revitalized and reformed in the border region;

(5) To supervise and inspect the implementation of the resolutions of the Senate by the government of the border region;

(6) To recognize the important matters of the Resident Meeting, the Chairman of the Government of the Border Region or the Government Committee on emergency measures during the intersessional period.

In the case of senators at or above the county level, the senators elect the chairmen and vice chairmen to preside over the work of the plenary sessions. At the beginning of the session, a number of members are elected to form a presidium to assist the chairmen and vice-chairmen in their work, and a secretariat, a senatorial qualification committee, a proposal review committee, and other special committees that need to be established are established.

The organs of power at the border region level all elect permanent senators to form the permanent organs of the Senate (Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo are called the permanent council, Jinchaji is called the resident senator's office, and Jinsui is called the permanent committee). Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan and Shandong are called resident committees, etc.), and the chairman and vice chairmen are ex officio members.

Some of the county-level power organs have permanent offices (Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region), while others only have the speaker or deputy speaker of the parliament as permanent members of the parliament (Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region). In addition to handling the day-to-day affairs of the Senate when it is not in session, the permanent offices also have the following functions and powers in accordance with the regulations of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region: (1) to supervise the implementation of the resolutions of the Senate by the government at the same level; (2) Listen to the regular work report of the government at the same level; (3) Make suggestions and inquiries to the government at the same level; (4) Send representatives to attend the meetings of the government committees at the same level; (5) To decide on the convening of an extraordinary session of the Senate when necessary.

The grass-roots organs of power are slightly different from each anti-Japanese base area. For example, the township (city) senate in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region does not have a chairman or vice chairman, and three members of the presidium are elected to preside over the meeting, and the township (city) head is an ex-officio member of the presidium. The grass-roots power organs of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region are villagers' assemblies composed of all the citizens of the village. When the villagers' assembly is not in session, the villagers' representative council shall be composed of representatives elected by the citizens of the whole village to exercise the functions and powers of the villagers' assembly. The villagers' representative council shall have a chairman and vice chairman, who shall be elected by the villagers' congress, and the chairman and vice chairman shall also serve as the principal and deputy village heads.

Administrative organs at all levels of the anti-Japanese democratic regime. Including all levels of government elected by the authorities at all levels. and representative or auxiliary organs established by governments at or above the county level in a certain area.

For example, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningbo, Shanxi, Hebei, and Luyu are called the government of the border regions, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei is called the administrative committee of the border region, and Shandong is called the wartime administrative committee of Shandong Province. Some base areas in Jinsui and Central China are called the Administrative Office (hereinafter referred to as the Executive Office).

This level of administration is formed by the Senate at the same level. For example, the government of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region shall be composed of 13 members elected by the Senate of the Border Region. and elect one chairman and one vice-chairman among the members. The Chairman of the Government of the Border Region represents the Government of the Border Region externally; Internally, he presides over the meetings of the government committees of the border regions, supervises the performance of duties by the administrative organs of the border regions, and handles the daily affairs and emergency affairs of the border regions.

The government committee of the border region consists of the Secretariat, the Department of Civil Affairs, the Department of Finance, the Department of Education, the Department of Construction, the Security Command, the Security Department, the Audit Office, and various departments in charge of administrative organs and the High Court, which are in charge of various tasks. Establishment of government departments in the border region. The base areas are basically the same, except for the government of the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan border areas and some base areas in central China, which are generally called offices, other areas are generally called offices.

Under each department (division), hospital, and department, according to the needs of work, a number of sections, offices, or divisions are to be established to be in charge of the work of their own departments. The base areas of the special administrative organs (some regions are called directly subordinate agencies) are generally called bureaus, such as tax bureaus, supervision bureaus, etc.

Administrative offices (or administrative offices) below the border region (province). The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region Administrative Committee, the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region Government, and the Shandong Provincial Wartime Administrative Committee all set up administrative offices within their jurisdictions. There are two types of administrative offices at this level: (1) as a first-level political power, that is, there is a senate at the same level, and the director, deputy director and members of the executive office are elected by the senate at the same level, and are responsible to the senate at the same level and the government at the higher level;

(2) As the representative organ of the government of the border region, there is no council at the same level, and the chairman and deputy director of the executive office shall be appointed by the government of the border region. The setting up of the administrative department is the same as that of the border district government, and it is generally called the department, except that the administrative department of Jinchaji is called the section, so as to distinguish it from the departments of the administrative committee of the border region.

The functions and powers of the executive office, as the representative organ of the government of the border region, in accordance with the provisions of the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan border regions, are: (1) to inspect and supervise administrative matters within the jurisdiction; (2) Formulate separate regulations and implementation rules in accordance with the decrees promulgated by the government of the border region, and report them to the government of the border region for the record after promulgation; (3) Prepare and examine the budget and final accounts of the border region in accordance with the general budget of the border region, and report to the people's government of the border region for approval in advance if emergency measures require an increase in the budget, change the system or increase the burden on the people; (4) Manage the appointment and dismissal of cadres below the section chief of the administrative department and the secretary and section chief of the special office, the secretary of the county government, and the section chief.

Office of the Administrative Ombudsman (hereinafter referred to as the Commissioner). Each base area generally has a special office, which is the representative organ of the government at the level of the border region (Jin-Cha-Ji is called the auxiliary organ). In accordance with the orders and instructions of the government of the border region (Jinchaji and other places also have subordinate administrative offices), it guides and supervises the administrative affairs of the counties (cities) under its jurisdiction and the subsidiary organs of the higher-level government in the localities.

The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region stipulates that two or more counties may set up special offices. The special office shall have a commissioner, and may set up a deputy commissioner when necessary. The work department of the special department is called the section, and the setting of the section corresponds to the work department of the higher-level government. In addition to being appointed by the government of the border region, the government of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region may appoint the military governor stationed in the region to concurrently serve as the commissioner, or designate one person from among the county magistrates to do so.

When the Commissioner's Office and the central county government are in the same place, the commissioner may also be the county magistrate, and the Commissioner's office and the county government shall work together, but the functions and powers and documents shall be clearly demarcated.

The county government is a first-class government in each base area, and the county government head and the members of the county government committee are elected by the senate (or council) at the same level, except in the war environment or newly opened areas. The establishment of the work departments of the county government is generally the same as that of the administrative organ at the higher level.

The name of the work department is generally named according to the scope of the duties, for example, the civil affairs department is called the Civil Affairs Section, and the financial department is called the Finance Section. For example, the county government in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo has set up the first to fifth sections, which are in charge of civil affairs, finance, education, construction, and food. The terms of reference of a county government are the same as those of its parent government. The anti-Japanese democratic regime was at the same level as the county government, as well as the joint county and city governments and the county offices.

(Agency) is the county (city) government to carry out government affairs to assist the organ (Jinchaji called the auxiliary organ). The district office has 1 district head, 3~5 assistants, 1 leader and instructor of the people's armed forces (1 battalion commander of the Self-Defense Army in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia) and 1 security officer (public security officer).

Under the leadership of the county government, the district office handles the following tasks: (1) conveying the policies and decrees of the higher authorities and reporting the implementation of the decrees to the higher authorities; (2) Planning and supervising the civil affairs, finance, education, construction work and reform matters of the townships (cities and villages) under its jurisdiction; (3) Organize the people's self-defense armed forces to carry out the work of defending the whole region.

Some liberated areas in Shanxi, Chahar, Shandong, and central China have also set up district offices or district governments as first-level political power. Its responsible person is elected by the authority at the same level, and in addition to the above three points, his task is to implement the resolutions of the authority at the same level. Equivalent to the administrative organs at the district level, there are also joint township governments and central township governments.

Township-level administrative organs: The township-level administrative organs of the anti-Japanese democratic regime are township (city) governments in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Central China, and village offices in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Shanxi-Hebei, Shanxi-Hebei, Shandong-Henan, and Jinsui.

The township government of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region is composed of the township head and members of the township government elected by the township council. The village office in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region has 1 chief and 1 deputy village head, 3~5 members, 1 security officer, and 1 leader and instructor of the people's armed forces.

The chairman and vice chairman of the villagers' congress shall concurrently serve as the chairman and vice-chairman of the villagers' congress, and the members shall be elected by the villagers' congress. The township governments of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo generally have committees for preferential care and relief, cultural promotion, economic construction, rape, health care, and people's arbitration, and other temporary committees when necessary.

The village offices in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei do not have committees, but have committees for civil affairs, finance, education, industry, grain, and public security, as well as armed squadron leaders and instructors, who are in charge of various tasks.

The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region has administrative villages under the township government and natural villages under the administrative villages. Administrative villages have village chiefs, and natural villages have village heads, both of which are elected by voters within their respective jurisdictions.

Under the village office, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area is divided into a number of Lu according to the living situation, and the Lu has one director representative, who is elected by the citizen representatives of the Lu. The representative of the director and the representative of the director assist the village office in the implementation of village administration.

Township and village political power is the foundation of the anti-Japanese democratic regime, and our party's principles, policies, and decrees and measures of the anti-Japanese democratic regime must be concretely implemented through them. It is also very important who is in the hands of the township and village political power. After the establishment of the anti-Japanese democratic regime in the base areas, the rural political power was rectified many times, so that the political power was in the hands of the most trusted people of the people.

See, how complicated and rigorous this is! Therefore, it is no accident that our party was able to squeeze in behind the vast enemy lines in North China, stand still, survive, and win victory at the very end!

The Eighth Route Army is by no means an ordinary combat unit that can only rely on a simple military supply and supply system, but an army that builds political power while fighting, and this is the way to win! (To be continued......)
