Chapter 584 Agricultural Reclamation Corps

Half an hour later, the fielding system was implemented in the base area, and the first brigade of the advance detachment was ordered to go out to raise military rations. The plan was decided by several people... With the final plan, it was decided by the commander Liu Hua. Four people, no

After taking any rest, we once again entered into the discussion of the next topic...

Food, the most basic and important strategic material in the war years... With it, the army will have sufficient guarantee and can develop better. The entire base area will also expand rapidly.

.Without it, the troops will not only be in danger of running out of food. At the same time, the entire base area will also become disorganized and lose cohesion due to the lack of food. At that time, you may fail without waiting for the enemy's attack...

And this is related to the life and death of the entire base area, and the food problem has been successfully solved... Of course, if an army has food guaranteed, if it wants to continue to develop on a large scale, the next most important thing is the combat effectiveness of the army.

At this moment, in the entire base area, after this great victory, although there are more than 20,000 troops, plus more than 40,000 people, who may be converted into Manchurian prisoners of the Eighth Route Army at any time, the total strength has reached more than 60,000. However, in these six

Among the troops of more than 10,000 people, there are only more than 10,000 troops that have truly undergone systematic training and have long-term actual combat experience...

There are more than 10,000 people, although they bear the designation of the fifth field column of the Northeast Field Army. However, almost every main regiment has only reached a half-full state. As for the heavy weapons of each unit, due to the large lack of technical arms, there are almost no

Any equipment... Such a column, in Liu Hua's mind, is simply not as good as a main division of the Guannai Field Army...

However, the current troops have sufficient reserve soldiers, coupled with sufficient supplies, weapons and ammunition. More importantly, for a long time to come, the base will not be heavily encircled and suppressed by the Japanese army, giving the entire

The army provides a good training place and time..0…

Under such favorable conditions, the troops were reorganized. Then, the entire army was immediately trained for a month to become a truly elite unit. Not surprisingly, this became Liu Hua's second

Problems that urgently need to be solved….

Thinking of this, Commander Liu Hua spoke to the three people in front of him who had been taking a short break for a few minutes.

"Comrades, the food problem has been completely solved after everyone's discussion and research. The plan for implementing the farmland system in the future development process of the base area has also been initially formed... Next, everyone will work harder to organize the troops

The urgently needed reorganization and the training that needs to be carried out after the reorganization of the troops will all be discussed and a result will be reached, and then we will rest... What do you think..."

"Commander, are you planning to expand the army... You know, our total strength now reaches more than 20,000. More importantly, among the 40,000 Manchurian soldiers captured by us, at least there are

Can we mobilize 20,000 people to join our Eighth Route Army in a short period of time?" As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, Commander Zhou Baozhong asked impatiently...

"Expansion... Haha, Old Zhou, now you have the establishment of an entire field column in your hands. And the entire field army only has the establishment of five field columns. Therefore, expansion is absolutely impossible.

Next, I will read out the troop structure that I compiled after one night, and let everyone discuss it... If possible, we will implement it according to this plan..." As he spoke, Liu Hua took out a piece of paper

Paper, continued…

| "Comrades, this is what I think. The advance detachment has completed its mission according to the requirements. This title should also be cancelled. After the title of the advance detachment is cancelled, the army will be directly reorganized into a special operations division directly under the field army.

, division commander Comrade Liu Xiaogang. The entire special operations division has three special operations groups and one directly affiliated special operations company... And the establishment of these three special operations groups is all reorganized according to the model of the previous special operations brigade... After the reorganization, the original advance detachment

All excess troops will be used as technical arms and supplemented to the regiments and divisions of the Fifth Field Column to form corresponding artillery companies, artillery battalions, and artillery regiments..."

"Yes, Commander, Liu Xiaogang promises to complete the mission and reorganize the Special Forces Division in the shortest possible time. Let the Special Forces Division become the entire field army, a sharp sword that can be unsheathed at any time..." Liu Hua's words just fell, he was promoted to

Teacher Liu Xiaogang stood up with a smile on his face and replied confidently...

Seeing the confident smile on Liu Xiaogang's face in front of him, Commander Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction. Then, he set his sights on Zhou Baozhong, the commander of the fifth column of the Field Army in front of him, and continued...

"Commander Zhou, I just said that it is definitely impossible to expand your fifth column. However, I ask you to, within three days, recruit from all anti-Japanese armed forces and prisoners who are willing to join the Eighth Route Army.

, select the best soldiers, and replenish all three main divisions under the column to achieve a truly full establishment. However, I want to remind you that after reorganization, the army will become a real field force.

Therefore, no matter how you maneuver your troops, the total strength of the troops must not exceed the stipulated 20,000 people... Of course, during the process of reorganizing the troops, if you have any requirements, you can always ask Deputy Commander Yang and I.

I will satisfy you as much as possible…”….

"After the reorganization of the main force is completed, only the 40,000 prisoners are left... My idea is this: All the prisoners who are willing to join our Eighth Route Army will be equipped with a certain number of veterans and reorganized uniformly. As for the number of the troops, just

It is called the Field Army Recruit Column. The column commander is Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu, who is responsible for the training of these recruits... Of course, the task of the recruit column is not to fight the enemy, but to receive the prisoners of our army after each battle, and

Train them. Prepare well-trained recruits at any time to supplement the battle losses of the main force. Keep the main force at full strength at any time..."

"Commander, I will take on this responsibility... I believe that as long as this column of new recruits slowly forms a pattern, in the near future, our main force will have a steady supply, inexhaustible, and sufficient training.

reserve troops...and the combat effectiveness of our main force will always remain at its strongest..." Deputy Commander Yang said with deep understanding...

"The prisoners who are willing to join our army have been solved, and the remaining ones are those who are unwilling to join our army... According to the results of the discussion just now, all these prisoners must be incorporated into the logistics department of our army and let them join the farming army in the base area.

...So, what I mean is that in order to facilitate the management of tens of thousands of people, these prisoners should also be reorganized in a unified way. After reorganization, the unit's designation will be called the Field Army Agricultural Reclamation Corps..."

"Agricultural Reclamation Corps?" Liu Hua just finished speaking. For this, in his mind, it was a very unfamiliar name for the army. The three people stared at a pair of big eyes at the same time and asked in disbelief...

"Yes, it is the Agricultural Reclamation Corps, which is responsible for the farming in the base area. If the development goes well, they can also try raising livestock..." Liu Hua nodded and responded affirmatively...

Of course, this Agricultural Reclamation Corps was not Liu Hua's initiative. Instead, he thought of it after careful consideration and based on the Agricultural Reclamation Corps model that was established in Xinjiang after the People's Liberation Army entered Xinjiang...

"Commander, what is the specific organization of this Agricultural Reclamation Corps... Also, he is specifically responsible for the farming in the base area. The appointment of commanders at all levels is also a very serious problem. After all, no commander is willing to work in the field.

The troops were transferred to the logistics department to manage a group of prisoners for farming every day..." After a brief shock, deputy commander Yang Jingyu asked the question in his heart...

"The Agricultural Reclamation Corps does not have a specific organization. When the time comes, the more prisoners we have in the base area, the larger the Agricultural Reclamation Corps establishment will be. My initial idea is that currently based on the prisoners in the area, a total of seven Agricultural Reclamation Divisions will be organized. respectively.

They are the 1st Agricultural Division, the 2nd Agricultural Division, the 3rd Agricultural Division... the 7th Agricultural Division. Each Agricultural Reclamation Division can accommodate 3,000 prisoners, and has three Agricultural Reclamation Regiments under its jurisdiction, each of which can accommodate 1,000 prisoners... The commander of the entire Agricultural Reclamation Corps

As a member, I will personally take on the part-time role..." Seeing several people nodding thoughtfully, Liu Hua continued...

"As for the selection of commanders at all levels of the entire Agricultural Reclamation Corps, in fact, there are many such people in our base area..." As he spoke, Liu Hua showed a mysterious smile on his face...

"Are there people like this in the base area? Why didn't I see it, Commander, who are these people you are talking about..." After a brief thought, Commander Zhou Baozhong asked with a confused look on his face...

At the same time, the other two people, including Liu Xiaogang, who was very familiar with Liu Hua, also frowned and looked at the commander in front of them, waiting for a specific answer...

"Comrades, the issue of selecting commanders at all levels of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps is far away in the horizon, but it is right in front of us... Let me ask you a question now. After each battle in the army, how many wounded are there?

Although he saved his life, due to various reasons, he can no longer go to the battlefield, and these soldiers will become a serious burden in the base area in the future..." Liu Hua smiled.

asked…

"This question..." Regarding Commander Liu Hua's sudden question, Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer... However, after a short period of thinking, during the previous battles, the troops

The casualty data and the approximate data of the wounded who could not return to the army slowly appeared in my mind...

"Commander, according to my memory, in previous battles, at least 30% of the wounded will leave the field troops for various reasons to retire... And these disabled soldiers, even if they return to the place, as you said, they will

It will become a burden for the entire base area... Commander, do you mean to allow these disabled soldiers to return to the army and serve as commanders at all levels of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps, so that they can continue to use their remaining talents?" Yang Jingyu suddenly woke up.

He came over and asked with a look of realization...

"Those who know me, Lao Yang... That's what I mean... Rather than letting these soldiers return to their places and increasing the burden on the base area, it is better to let them stay in the army and use their remaining energy... At the same time, these disabled soldiers,

In terms of loyalty and all aspects, there will never be any problems..." Seeing the deputy commander's reaction, Liu Hua nodded affirmatively and replied...

"Let these veterans who are disabled but still serve as veterans after hundreds of battles continue to stay in the army and use their remaining energy; reduce the burden on the base areas; serve as commanders at all levels of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps and join the ranks of the Agricultural Reclamation Army... Good

, OK...Commander, this is really a good way to kill three birds with one stone...I have no objections and completely agree with your idea of ​​forming a reclamation corps. At the same time, the injured in previous battles who are unable to continue fighting will be allowed to

Soldiers, serving as commanders at all levels of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps..." Yang Jingyu slapped his thigh fiercely, cheered repeatedly, and answered in the affirmative...

One day later, notices issued by the Field Army Headquarters were posted in every corner of the base area. The content of the notice was that the base area was about to use a large number of captured Manchurian Army soldiers to form a Reclamation Corps. It was required that all retired wounded soldiers in the base area be used.

Disabled soldiers report to recruitment offices in various places in the shortest possible time, return to the army, and use their remaining energy for the army and the revolutionary cause...

For a time, the entire base area was shocked by this notice... Because, in the eyes of ordinary people, no matter what era they are in, disabled soldiers on the battlefield, if they are lucky, can still get a certain amount of money to go home for retirement. And

Most of the disabled soldiers returned directly to their hometowns and became beggars... and the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party around them was not only responsible for the elderly care of all disabled soldiers. More importantly, at this moment, these soldiers were actually

Regrouped to form the so-called Agricultural Reclamation Corps...

However, what kind of reaction the common people will have is not what Liu Hua and others are concerned about, because what they are concerned about is the reaction of the disabled soldiers at all levels who are distributed throughout the base area... As the content of the notice was revealed in the shortest time,

The news spread. Those soldiers who were lying in their homes, disabled and retired, waiting for death to come, immediately became excited...

Because, ever since I became a so-called useless person on the battlefield, retired and stayed at home, waiting for food relief from the government all day long. These former combat heroes and former Communist Party members can be said to regret very much.

Go on, why can't the enemy's bullets and artillery shells directly kill you... Let yourself drag a disabled body to live in this world, and also cause a huge financial burden to the base area and your family...

Faced with all kinds of pressure, many disabled soldiers once thought about death... However, their longing and hope for the revolutionary future made them persist in living...

At this moment, a notice from the headquarters made their hearts, which had been dusty for a long time and had lost their previous vigor, become turbulent again... They did not expect that they could drag their disabled bodies and return to the army.

Contribute your remaining energy to the revolutionary cause and the entire army...

The try was placed in front of him, and as the content of the notice was confirmed, excitement appeared on the faces of the soldiers who were disabled at home and waiting to die... Accompanied by their family and neighbors, they packed up

I packed my simple luggage and walked to the location of the recruiting offices in various places...

"Zhang Degui, the one-faced instructor of the 10th Regiment of the 4th Division of the Original Resistance Alliance, was ordered to report..." A soldier who had broken off his right arm, wearing a patched Original Resistance Alliance uniform, saluted with his left hand, loudly

He said to several cadres and soldiers in the recruiting office in front of him...

"Li Guang, squad leader of the third squadron of the fifth regiment of the second division of the former Anti-Japanese Federation, came to report..." A young man carrying a cane appeared in front of everyone again...

"Zhang Baolian, a soldier from the fourth company of the 1st Anti-Japanese Division, was ordered to come and report..." Another soldier whose legs were bumpy and unable to walk normally, under everyone's gaze, slowly walked up to everyone and shouted loudly

shouted….

……..

All of a sudden, the various recruitment offices in the entire base area immediately started hearing reports from these disabled soldiers in a steady stream... In less than a day, thousands of disabled soldiers in the entire base area went to various places to report...

Although everyone was very unfamiliar with the name of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps, the excitement of returning to the army still put a thick smile on everyone's face...

A few days later, as a large number of disabled soldiers were sent to Baishiling where the base area was located... the list of commanding personnel at all levels of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps began to slowly take shape. With the commanding personnel, there were also a huge number of prisoners in the base area.

The three agricultural reclamation divisions formed in the first round, the First Agricultural Division, the Second Agricultural Division, and the Third Agricultural Division, began to march to their own farming areas under the orders of Commander Liu Hua, and attacked a large number of uninhabited wilderness areas around the base area.

Carry out reclamation….

In this way, the Agricultural Reclamation Corps, which took three days from proposal to final formation, has stepped onto the stage of history starting today... In the next few years of the war of resistance in the three northeastern provinces, the Agricultural Reclamation Corps not only

It provided a steady stream of food to the entire base area and the entire three northeastern provinces. More importantly, sufficient food saved countless people in the North China Plain during the severe drought in the North China Plain...

Of course, these are all things for later... As the farming troops, carrying their own farm tools, headed for their own reclamation areas... the entire base area immediately fell into the heat of construction...
