Chapter seven hundred and twentieth the pressure of the Japanese army
The strong strength shown by Xiong Changhe shocked the people in the village, and they began to believe in the Eighth Route Army and the New Regiment again.
This was not enough. Before hundreds of people could react from the shock, the instructor from the first battalion on the podium spoke again.
"I know what everyone is most worried about during this period is whether after the autumn harvest, our Eighth Route Army will allocate a large amount of food to everyone like other armies, so that everyone's hard work for a year's harvest will be paid to the public food, and then they will go hungry."
"Now, on behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I would like to assure you that our Eighth Route Army is a people's army, an army that is here to protect you, defend your home and country, and fight against Japanese invaders. We would rather go hungry than put an extra burden on the villagers!"
"So, we decided to collect public grain in accordance with the minimum standards set by the Eighth Route Army. All the people in my base area, and the villagers with less than two acres of land per capita, only need to pay five kilograms of public grain for each acre of land, and all the remaining grain will go to
Own."
"Of the land within five acres per capita, two acres will be expropriated according to the standard of five kilograms of public grain, and the remaining acres will be expropriated according to the standard of seven kilograms of public grain!"
"For land within ten acres per capita, the land within five acres will be collected according to the above standards, and the excess will be collected according to the standard of ten kilograms of grain per mu."
"All land with an average per capita of more than ten acres will be expropriated according to the standard of twenty kilograms of grain per mu!"
The venue, where hundreds of people gathered in front of the rostrum, suddenly became lively.
The expressions on everyone's faces were different, including shock, surprise, and disbelief. Of course, some also showed dissatisfaction and anger.
However, most people had expressions of shock and surprise on their faces.
Because the land in their hands is very small, barely reaching the standard of two acres per capita. This means that they only need to allocate five kilograms of public grain to each acre of land. Compared with the original tens of kilograms, this amount of public grain is not considered at all.
What, as long as you save a little, you will be hungry a few more times!
But it didn't take long for the surprise on their faces to be replaced by suspicion.
Is such a low public ration standard true? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army is deceiving everyone, waiting for everyone to collect the food, and then suddenly raising the public ration standard?
The instructor seemed to understand everyone's thoughts and followed the order: "I have a notice here. It clearly states the standards for our Eighth Route Army's collection of public grains. It is written in black and white and is posted at the entrance of the village. It also has the seal of our new regiment. It is absolutely not allowed.
I will regret it!"
"Also, after statistics, our Eighth Route Army seized more than 800 acres of fertile land from those traitors after wiping out the maintenance committee in the village. Our new regiment decided to take over all these 800 acres of land for free after the autumn harvest.
Distribute it to everyone. Villagers without land will be given priority, followed by those with less land. We will ensure that everyone in the village has at least two acres of grain fields!"
"In addition, there are people in the family who are members of the Eighth Route Army. As military dependents, we will also receive preferential treatment in terms of public food. All public food standards will be lowered by one level. In other words, the land within two acres will be exempted from public food tax, and every acre of land from three to five acres will be exempted from the tax.
Only five kilograms of public grain will be collected, seven kilograms of grain will be collected from five to ten acres, and ten kilograms of grain will be collected from ten acres or more!"
In this troubled world, being able to live safely and still have food to eat is definitely what every ordinary person dreams about every day.
And what the new group did, obviously made their dreamland become a reality.
Stimulated by land and food, the common people finally recognized the Eighth Route Army stationed in their villages again and began to interact with them.
Linfen City Japanese Brigade Headquarters, under the urging of Matsumoto's phone calls every day, finally transferred 500 new recruits to him, and promised that the remaining two brigades of recruits would be sent in the next month!
"Chief of Staff, transfer one squadron from each of the 1st, 35th, and 5th Battalions to the First Battalion, and the remaining vacancies will be filled with new recruits."
"Before the battle to encircle and suppress the new regiment begins, the first brigade is the most powerful infantry brigade in our brigade. I want them to quickly restore their combat effectiveness and become our elite again!"
The chief of staff immediately took the order and said: "Hey, general, please rest assured that we will ensure that the first brigade will regain its combat effectiveness within a month!"
Just as the chief of staff was about to leave, the phone on Major General Matsui's desk rang.
This phone was Major General Matsumoto's exclusive phone and only connected to Matsumoto's superiors, the military headquarters and the North China Front Headquarters.
Therefore, as soon as the ringing of the phone reached Matsumoto's ears, he stood up from his seat.
He tidied up his appearance first, and then put the receiver to his ear.
"Hello, Commander, I am a humble Matsumoto, please give me an order!" Matsumoto said with a serious face as soon as a few words came through the receiver.
But it didn't take long for the serious expression on his face to be covered by heaviness.
"Hi! I understand, I promise to complete the task! Hi..." Finally, he put down the phone amid a low reply.
Then he slumped down in his seat with a heavy look on his face.
"General, does the headquarters have another mission?" the chief of staff hesitated and asked.
Matsumoto replied noncommittally: "Well, the headquarters said that after the autumn harvest, they will only provide us with 20% of the food supplies. The remaining food supplies must be provided by ourselves, so that we can support the war with war!"
"However, our Guanghuang Army in Linfen has six to seven thousand people. There are also several regiments of puppet troops with more than ten thousand people. We don't have five to six million kilograms of food, which is not enough for the troops!" The chief of staff also frowned.
It becomes a big Chinese character Sichuan.
Then he continued his analysis: "Also, the five to six million kilograms of grain are only calculated according to the minimum requirements of the army. If there is a war, the demand will be even greater, and it may add up to ten million kilograms!"
Matsumoto replied calmly: "This is not the fault of the headquarters. This is the same situation on the entire Chinese battlefield!"
"For this war, the empire is facing increasing pressure, and limited supplies have to be concentrated on the front-line battlefields. As for our troops who stay in the rear, we have to carry out a large-scale implementation of war to support war within our jurisdiction to reduce the empire's
Domestic logistical pressures.”
The chief of staff hesitated and asked: "But, general, there is no way we can handle ten million kilograms of grain!"
"If there were no Eighth Route Army in Linfen, regardless of the life and death of the Chinese people in Linfen, they could still collect 10 million kilograms of grain by imposing heavy taxes on them. But now, the two main grain-producing areas in Linfen have been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and the remaining towns are not at all
Maybe we can collect 10 million kilograms of grain!"
"Unless we take these two towns back from the Eighth Route Army before the autumn harvest. But the time is so tight and the troops are not enough, it is impossible to do it!"
Matsumoto shook his head and replied: "No, we don't need to take back these two towns. We just want food. As for the life and death of the Chinese people, let the Eighth Route Army take care of it!"
"General, do you have any ideas?" the chief of staff asked with his eyes shining.
"Yes, and it's a plan that kills two birds with one stone. It can not only obtain food, but also increase the burden on the Eighth Route Army, crush them, and make them lose the support of the people!" Matsumoto answered confidently.
Then he ordered: "However, before this, there is one thing we must do well!"
"Train the troops. You can train as many recruits as you can send from the headquarters, so that they can become combat effective as soon as possible!"
"As long as I have troops, my next plan to kill two birds with one stone can be implemented!"
At the Tianjiazhuang New Regiment Headquarters, Wang Ping and Zhong Chenggong also frowned.
Three main battalions, 1, 3 and 4, were successively established as firepower companies, and the regimental artillery company was also expanded into a main battalion. The people in the two towns also began to slowly accept the Eighth Route Army. This was originally a very happy thing. However, as the logistics department
The commander sent a list to the regiment headquarters, and the two people's good mood suddenly disappeared!
