"Self-sufficiency coupled with a rotation system not only solves the problem of the army's combat effectiveness and defeats the Japs, but also solves the army's food problem and makes the army self-sufficient... Wang Ping, I said you must have a way, the artillery did not let go
I'm disappointed. No wonder Commander Nie and Commander Chen treat you as their treasure, otherwise I would definitely find a way to keep you in our Suide Garrison Area!" Commander Wang praised without hesitation.
Senior Wang Ping replied: "Chief, you overestimate me... I just gave you a general idea. The specific how to do it needs to be discussed by the military region and a very feasible method can be developed!"
"That's no problem!" Commander Wang, who solved two problems at once, was in a very good mood and answered immediately.
Then he pointed to the subordinates behind him who had already begun to discuss the plan and said: "Look at the chief of staff, he has already started to formulate a plan. He knows the situation in the military region best. As long as he says it can be done, it will be done!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chief of staff came over with an excited look on his face.
"Commander, the method Commander Wang just mentioned is feasible!"
"We just did some calculations. According to what Commander Wang just did, we can cultivate at least 20,000 acres, or even 30,000 acres of fertile farmland before spring plowing next year!"
"Although the land here is barren, as long as the land is taken care of, there is no problem in harvesting one hundred kilograms of grain from one acre!"
"By next year's autumn harvest, there will be 30,000 acres of fertile farmland. If the year is good, we will be able to harvest at least 350, or even 4 million kilograms of grain!"
"Even if there is a severe drought, there will be no problem in harvesting two to two and a half million kilograms of grain, which can fully meet the annual consumption of all combat troops in the entire military region, and there may even be more, which can supply part of Yan'an!"
The smile on Commander Wang's face grew wider, and he said with satisfaction: "Wang Ping, you have done a great favor to our military region with just one sentence. Although you are not from our military region, I still want to give you credit, and no matter what
What's the result of asking for merit? Our military region and military subdivisions all owe you a favor, and it's a big favor!"
Wang Ping did not continue to struggle with this issue. He hesitated and said, "Commander Wang, I still have some ideas!"
"The common people attach great importance to food to feed themselves, and the military regions grow food to be self-sufficient. However, all the land we open does not have to be planted with millet and corn, which are usually eaten as food. We can also plant some potatoes that are more drought-resistant and have better yields.
Although people can't stand eating too much of these grains, the advantage is the high yield. We can also use potatoes to feed pigs and chickens, and arrange the disabled soldiers on the battlefield to the rear to build pig farms, chicken farms, and even
Sheep farms provide eggs and various meat products to the troops. Only with meat can the soldiers' physiques get better and stronger, and they will not suffer any disadvantages when dealing with the little Japanese!"
"Write it down, write it all down, write down everything Commander Wang just said, and study it carefully when the time comes!" Commander Wang ordered with his eyes shining.
"I have heard that the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area and the Taihang base area have built chicken farms, pig farms, and sheep farms. On average, front-line combat troops can eat one meal of meat every two or three days.
Eggs. If I'm not wrong, it seems that you, Wang Ping, were the first to come up with these. Now the master is here to teach us the experience of developing the economy of the base area, and we will also build these factories..."
Perhaps to thank Wang Ping for his help, when leaving the Suide Garrison Area Headquarters at night, Commander Wang dispatched a whole regiment of troops and sent them all the way to the Yellow River.
What Wang Ping didn't expect was that as soon as he left, Commander Wang reported his help and support to the garrison to Yan'an and asked Wang Ping for credit.
Little did he know that after this telegram arrived in Yan'an, it caused a huge sensation in the headquarters.
When he arrived at the ferry, Wang Ping was very lucky. The small ferry he had left Yan'an for Shanxi had now been replaced by two large ferries. He could easily transport two cars full of supplies to the other side of the Yellow River at a time. However, waiting for all the cars
They all crossed the river, and it was already four o'clock in the morning.
"Keep on going and try to reach Yan'an before dawn!" Wang Ping ordered decisively, looking at his subordinates who looked tired behind him.
Wang Ping's rank is not high. It can be said that he is the lowest among all the military and political cadres who came to Yan'an to study.
However, his arrival caused a sensation throughout Yan'an.
When other cadres came to Yan'an to study, even if they were brigade commanders or military division commanders, they only brought a few guards with them.
Wang Ping, the leader of the new regiment, was a regiment-level cadre, but he brought with him a total of forty-five vehicles, a guard company, and a direct team, with a total strength of more than 250 people.
The mighty motorcade was running along the dirt road like a long dragon, kicking up a lot of dust and making it impossible not to attract attention.
The convoy did not enter the city, but directly bypassed Yan'an City and drove to the headquarters guard station!
"Hello, Commander Wang, I am the commander of the third regiment of the left-behind regiment. I have been ordered to receive supplies here..." As soon as the convoy stopped, a cadre with a Mauser pistol on his waist walked over and introduced himself.
Then he pointed to the middle-aged man beside him who was also wearing a military uniform but was not equipped with a pistol and introduced: "This is Vice Minister Zhang of the Economic Department of the General Command, and this is Vice Minister Zhou of the Logistics Department of the General Command. They have been ordered to receive your gifts to Yan'an."
supplies and funds!”
"Vice Minister Zhang, Vice Minister Zhou, hello, I am the leader of the New Regiment and the commander of the First Military Division of the Taiyue Military Region. I have been ordered to come to Yan'an to study and escort a batch of materials and funds to be handed over to Yan'an... This is the list of materials and funds.
, please take a look at the two chiefs!”
Yan'an is very poor, not even as poor as the next military subdivision.
In addition to the pitiful income of the Yan'an local government, the materials and finances handed over by the troops below became the largest income for the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Department of Logistics.
Therefore, when they saw the list handed over by Wang Ping, their eyes became hot.
Although they knew the specific amount of this batch of materials and funds before departure, the two of them were still very excited when it actually became a reality.
But not long after, the two people frowned.
"No... Captain Wang, except that the amount of funds is the same as what you reported to the headquarters, the amount of other supplies is very different. It is more than double... No, the quantity of these supplies is too large. I can't take it over without authorization. I have to
Report to superiors!"
Wang Ping knew that the discipline of the headquarters was very strong. In order not to increase the pressure on the combat troops, he was not allowed to take more guns or bullets from the combat troops. But he did not expect that they would still observe discipline so strictly after all the supplies were sent to Yan'an.
After a moment of hesitation, he replied: "Okay, hurry up then... The convoy must have attracted a lot of people's attention when it bypassed Yan'an City. I'm worried that the Japs will send planes over to bomb. It took so much difficulty to deliver so much supplies to Yan'an.
We can’t be blown up by little devils at the last minute!”
"I'm going to ask my superiors for instructions now. As for safety, I'll ask the soldiers to help you cover!" Vice Minister Zhou of the Logistics Department immediately replied.
After waiting for less than a dozen people, they hurried over.
Vice Minister Zhou, whom they had just met, just walked beside him. Soon, a shocked expression appeared on Wang Ping's face.
Among the dozen or so people, he actually saw Minister Li and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ministry of Economic Affairs who had been seen in photos many times in later generations.
He rushed over, saluted, and reported loudly: "Hello, Chief... Wang Ping, the commander of the first division of Taiyue Military Region and the leader of the new regiment, has been ordered to report..."
"Chief, why are you here!"
"Of course I have to come. You, Wang Ping, always bring surprises to us wherever you go. There are surprises in Suide Garrison and there are surprises in Yan'an. I will definitely come!" the commander-in-chief said happily. Looking at Wang Ping's eyes, he
It's like the elders look at the younger ones and are very satisfied.
