Back in Zhangjiazhuang, all the party committee members in the base area gathered together to discuss the reconstruction, recovery, and development of the base area after the war.
"Commander, after preliminary statistics, during this nine-way siege, houses in more than thirty villages in the base area were completely burned down by the Japanese army. However, fortunately, the villagers' food was transferred to the tunnels, and there was no
The damage will not affect the lives of the people for the time being. It is just a burned house. What should the base government do with it?" Comrade Xiao Ping, who works in the local area, was the first to stand up.
"Secretary Xiao, we can follow the original rules of the Soviet area and give some financial compensation to the people whose houses were damaged, including compensating them with some grain and reducing the proportion of public grain collected this year... Anyway, we can't let the people suffer. Do you think that's okay?
Liu Hua stopped and took a sip of water before continuing.
"As for the houses that were burned down by the Japanese army, haven't the troops who are chasing the Japanese army yet to return to the construction? They can be asked to help the people build all the houses first, and then return to the construction." Liu Hua expressed his thoughts.
You know, these methods were summed up after going through the test of blood and fire in each base area, and they are very useful.
"Commander, this method is very good. It not only reduces the losses of the common people and lets them know that we are sincerely resisting Japan, but also deepens the relationship between the military and the people in the base area. It is really a good method that achieves multiple goals with one stone." Xiao Ping
After listening to Liu Hua's words, he stood up excitedly and said excitedly.
After listening to Xiao Ping's words, Liu Hua nodded and looked at the political commissar Guan Xiangying beside him.
"Political Commissar, in the past half month, we have gone through many large and small battles. The casualties of the troops are very huge, and there are also many wounded. I think this way, these wounded are veterans who have gone through the killing field. They will recover later.
They are all valuable assets of our army and will not serve as the backbone of our army in the future. Therefore, we must take good care of them and restore them to health as much as possible. I want you to personally catch the injured in the past two days to make them feel the responsibility of our headquarters.
Care, what do you think?"
"Commander, don't worry, I know all this." The political commissar nodded and replied.
"Director Wang, your task is to seize the time to count the various materials seized. In the past half month, various troops have seized quite a lot, especially in the pursuit battles in the last few days, the troops have mixed up a large amount of materials.
.You need to collect statistics on all the weapons, ammunition, and materials scattered everywhere, and then distribute them centrally."
"Yes, Commander." Wang Daoguang stood up and said.
Therefore, with the joint efforts of leaders at all levels in the base area, facing their homes in ruins, the villagers who returned home did not feel too sad. With the leadership of leaders at all levels in the base area, the base area began orderly reconstruction work.
At the same time, the troops stationed in various places, after receiving the order, also set out to help the people rebuild their homes. As a result, the base area once again staged a picture of a fishy situation between the military and civilians, which made the people in eastern Shanxi who had just experienced the raids very
moved.
As the construction of the base area slowly became formal, Liu Hua's mind slowly focused on the specific results and casualties of this battle. As a result, various data about this battle began to be slowly compiled. In order to better summarize
Regarding the gains and losses of this counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, all cadres from the base camp and above gathered in Zhangjiazhuang to hold a summary meeting of the anti-Japanese army's "Nine-Route Siege".
According to statistics, during the entire battle, there were more than 3,600 military and civilian casualties in the base area, including 1,654 killed, 540 seriously injured, and more than 1,500 lightly wounded. A total of more than 3,800 Japanese troops were eliminated, and the casualty ratio reached one to one, which is unprecedented.
The victory.
After hearing the results, the entire venue was in a state of excitement. Although I felt sad for the nearly two thousand comrades who died in the battle, the results were indeed very inspiring.
When this result was reported to the Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, it also caused a sensation again.
"Boss, the Independent Brigade did a good job, wiping out multiple regiments of Japanese troops. The casualty ratio was one to one. This is the first time that our Chinese army has wiped out a regiment of Japanese troops in an organized manner!" Looking at the Independent Brigade,
After receiving the telegram, Mr. Peng said excitedly to the commander-in-chief next to him.
"Yes, after this battle, I wonder if the Kuomintang will still say that the guerrilla warfare of our Eighth Route Army is a tactic of guerrilla warfare. You must know that the 117th Regiment of the Japanese Army is the main force of the Japanese army! Liu Huana
Boy, you have indeed lived up to our great trust." The commander-in-chief also smiled.
"Well, now those rumors of the Kuomintang have been disproven. Haha, the complete annihilation of a company of the Japanese army has never happened on the front battlefield of the Kuomintang. The Independence Brigade really gave our Eighth Route Army a face. See you next time
When Liu Hua comes to visit, I must have a few drinks with him." Mr. Peng replied excitedly.
You know, during this half-month siege, not only Jindong fell into a tense war atmosphere, but even the Eighth Route Army headquarters far away in the Taihang Mountains was also in a state of tension. The two chiefs of the headquarters often stared at
I have been looking at the map of Jindong for several hours. It can be said that I have put in a lot of effort. Now that the Jindong base area has won, can I not be happy? Can I not be excited?
"Yes, the rumors about the Kuomintang have been self-defeated this time. However, there are also disadvantages. I guess Liu Hua, this guy, has also reached the point where he is at the forefront. I guess that the Kuomintang and Japanese spies will definitely
We are targeting Liu Hua, so we must be prepared." The commander-in-chief, who still remained rational, reminded.
"How dare he..." After hearing what the Commander-in-Chief said, Mr. Peng slammed the table and shouted.
Cave dwellings in Yan'an. Although it was already late at night, there were still a few windows of cave dwellings showing a glimmer of light. This was the office of our great leader. Suddenly, a shout broke the tranquility.
"Chairman, Chairman, good news! Good news!" Vice Chairman Zhou held a telegram, pushed open the wooden door of the cave dwelling, and said excitedly.
The chairman put down his writing brush and cast a puzzled look at Vice Chairman Zhou.
"Enlai, what's going on? It seems like it's already midnight now. What's going on that makes you so excited!"
"Chairman, good news. Good news came from Jindong. The Japanese Regiment 117 was completely wiped out and the commander of the regiment, Colonel Okamoto, was killed." The vice chairman replied excitedly. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, his cheeks turned red with excitement.
"What? Annihilate the 117th Regiment. Quick, show me..." The chairman snatched the telegram from the vice-chairman's hand and began to read it under the dim oil lamp.
"Okay, okay, well done, Liu Hua is really good...This has greatly increased the momentum of our Eighth Route Army...It's really good. Quick, send this news to Xinhua News Agency immediately, and I want to write an article myself
Editorial, let the whole army and the whole country know that our independent brigade destroyed a main regiment of the Japanese army." The chairman said excitedly.
"Chairman, don't worry, it's not dawn yet?" the vice chairman immediately reminded.
"Uh, I forgot. Correspondent, hurry up and bring me a map of Shandong." The chairman shouted to the outhouse. Soon, a detailed map of Shandong was placed in front of the two of them.
"Enlai, according to the content of the telegram, Liu Hua's independent brigade has now completely occupied the Shandong area. As long as they take advantage of the period when the Japanese army has just been defeated and develop well, then the Shandong base area must be a very good base area.
In the telegram, Liu Hua asked us for instructions on the next development direction of the independent brigade, what are your opinions?"
"Well, I agree with the chairman's opinion. With Comrade Liu Hua's experience, he will definitely be able to build the Shandong base area like an iron barrel. In addition, Liu Hua has already established an arsenal in Shandong, which is almost reaching the level of ammunition.
Once we are self-sufficient, it will definitely be our best rear base in the future." Enlai nodded and replied.
"Uh, they actually built an arsenal? Why don't I know what's going on?" The chairman became excited again when he heard the word arsenal. Because since the Long March, almost all the ammunition of his troops was captured.
The lack of ammunition is very fatal to an army. Sometimes, when I am dreaming, I want to have my own arsenal. Now that I hear this news, can I not be excited?
"Chairman, it's like this. Liu Hua sent me a telegram at the beginning. He said that it was best not to leak out the affairs of the arsenal for the time being. On the one hand, it was to guard against the Japanese army, and on the other hand, it was to guard against the Kuomintang, so I forgot to tell you at that time.
"Please don't be angry if you have a lot of money," the vice chairman replied jokingly.
"Enlai, you are anxious to kill me. I am not angry. Tell me about Liu Hua's establishment of an arsenal. You don't know that since the Long March, I have dreamed of owning an arsenal." The chairman laughed and scolded.
"Chairman, it's like this. When Liu Hua established the Shandong base area, he dug into the Jingxing Coal Mine, moved almost all the equipment in the coal mine, and brought all the workers back to the base area. The most important thing is that after the workers
Among them was a university mechanical professor captured by the Japanese, and many scholars. Liu Hua mobilized them to join the Independent Brigade. With the efforts of those people, he assembled a simple machine tool by seizing equipment from the Japanese coal mine.
Finally, simple machine tools were used to produce precision machine tools, and it gradually developed into an arsenal." Seeing the anxious chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou quickly explained.
"Well, I didn't expect Liu Hua to be so young and think further than anyone else. It's really good. Enlai, do you know what the output of the arsenal is like? What kind of things can it produce? Do you want us to support some military industry cadres? You know
, several military industry cadres from the Central Logistics Office are idle here. Now that Liu Hua has made such a big noise, our Central Committee must also support it." After listening to the words of the Vice Chairman, the Chairman's spirit was suddenly shocked.
I was even more excited than when I just heard about the great victory.
