"However, it is not easy to restore grassroots political power. It does not mean just sending a few people there.
After all, Sui-Cha provinces have been occupied for more than four years, and they are close to pastoral areas. Even before the war, this place was beyond the reach of the National Government.
Li Guoyao can send people to serve as county magistrates, town mayors and security chiefs, but no one may recognize them.
Li Guoyao doesn¡¯t care whether the National Government recognizes these people, but he cares about whether the local people recognize his people. This is related to a series of issues regarding the future development of the army in the region.
Therefore, after discussing with local people's representatives, the Jiujiu Army finally decided that all government officials at the county magistrate level would be appointed by the army, but at the township, Sumu, village, and Gacha levels, they would all be elected by the local people themselves, and then Appointed after approval by the army.
And Li Guoyao also put forward the requirements for their recommendation. The person to be recommended must be a person who is well-liked by everyone, a person who is loved by the township and village bailiffs, a person who is enthusiastic about public welfare, a person who has the ability to train the people of each township and town bailiff, a person who must be hard-working, and a person who is determined to fight the war. .
Unlike the administrative agencies of the National Government, which can only reach the county level, and the township level basically depends on luck, Li Guoyao's requirement is that his people must go deep into every village.
Modern war has never been a simple battle between soldiers, but a competition of organization and mobilization capabilities.
Think about why the Huns and Mongolia were able to sweep across Europe. Was it because the economic and military strength of the Huns and Mongolia at that time could really crush Europe?
Not necessarily!
Europe already had powerful empires, and their overall strength was not much weaker than that of the Huns and Mongolia. The main reason why they were defeated and abandoned was because their social structure was different from that of the Eastern peoples. The city-state system made them In terms of organization and mobilization, they lagged far behind the Xiongnu and Mongolia, who had all the people in arms at that time, and were eventually defeated one by one.
"If the Jiujiu Army wants to successfully fight back to its hometown, the first thing it needs to do is to have a stable logistics base and a system with strong mobilization capabilities.
¡°In addition to restoring grassroots political power, Li Guoyao¡¯s most important thing is to restore and develop production.
Production means materials, which are not only needed for the survival of the troops, but also the guarantee for the stable life of the people.
Therefore, while restoring power at the grassroots level, Li Guoyao also encouraged agricultural production in the base areas, especially the planting of food crops.
It is said that the day's plan begins in the morning, and the year's plan begins in the spring. It is already late January, and in a few months it will be the farming season. Therefore, Sumuwu, a township in Geban County, mainly grows food. Eighty percent of the cultivated land is used to grow food.
At the same time, due to the surge in the number of troops, the food problem will inevitably become the top priority of the troops this year. Simply collecting taxes and the like cannot completely solve the food gap of the troops. Therefore, Li Guoyao decided to open military reclamation areas in various counties.
In addition to being responsible for the security and order of the county, the garrison regiment of each county is also responsible for the task of clearing up wasteland and growing food. The initially determined task is for each soldier to plant ten acres of land per year.
¡° Anyway, the Suicha area is vast and sparsely populated, coupled with the years of war, so there are abandoned farmlands everywhere, and there is no need to worry about no room for the troops to reclaim wasteland.
The last point is that Li Guoyao asked counties to improve their mobilization mechanisms and strengthen public training.
Mobilizing the people means dedicating all the people¡¯s strength to the country in order to achieve the final victory of the war.
This kind of victory is not simply determined by fighting, but depends on whether our entire nation can resist the war permanently and whether we can unite the entire people and the army.
As for how to effectively mobilize the people, Li Guoyao believes that there are three points. First, clarify the administration of officials and improve their own organizations.
Second, the government must do its best to support and enable the people to organize themselves spontaneously, and cannot use top-down orders to keep the people in a passive position. However, the people cannot break away from the administrative system and set up their own systems, causing chaos and instability in society.
Third, in order to promote popular mobilization, various armed forces should pay attention to discipline and care for the people.
??Among them, Li Guoyao believes that the establishment and improvement of popular organizations is the key. Therefore, under the order of Li Guoyao, all counties established armed departments, and required the armed forces to be responsible for establishing county-wide militia organizations. Counties should have separate county brigades, and townships should also have militia squads, and even every village should have militia teams. There must also be its own militia.
On the one hand, these militiamen are the reserve source of regular troops, and they are also a favorable force to deal with the Japanese invasion.
Li Guoyao required militia organizations in various places to conduct concentrated training for a period of time, and then?He also summarized some tactical characteristics of mine warfare and tunnel warfare, allowing militia captains in each county to learn from them.
After all, the troops cannot always prevent sneak attacks and attacks by the Japs. Once the Japanese army suddenly arrives, how to protect themselves depends on the capabilities of these militiamen.
Since late January, the entire Jiujiu Army has been constructing base areas in addition to training!
In just three months, an anti-Japanese base area with jurisdiction over ten counties and districts and spanning the three provinces of Shanxi, Suizhou, and Chacha was finally initially established.
By the end of April 1942, the Ninth Army had undergone tremendous changes in strength after rest and reorganization. In addition to the original three main divisions, two independent brigades (including women's brigade) and a cavalry group, 8 more troops had been organized. 1 main infantry regiment and 10 second-line garrison regiments.
The number of infantrymen has dropped significantly compared with before. This is mainly because some literate people have been converted from soldiers to government officials, and some people have been added to the armed departments of various counties to be responsible for the formation and formation of militia teams. train.
In addition, the army also carried out a large-scale expansion of technical arms. The number of artillery regiments was expanded from the original two regiments and five battalions to five regiments, and the number of cavalry was expanded from five regiments and four independent battalions to nine regiments. , the engineering force increased by 11 battalions, the air defense force increased from one regiment to four regiments, in addition to two regiments of transport troops and an armored regiment.
At the same time, the army has also established a complete militia system throughout the base area. Ten counties have their own militia organizations, which are under the command of the armed departments of each county.
The scope of these militia organizations is not only at the township level, but has even penetrated into every village. Larger villages have militia squads with 70 or 80 soldiers, while smaller villages have militia groups with maybe only 10 soldiers. Eight people.
Although the weapons used by these militiamen are junk that have been eliminated by regular troops, or they are home-made guns, if they really fight against the devils, their combat effectiveness will naturally be insufficient.
However, under Li Guoyao's training, these militia organizations all knew how to protect the folks in their respective villages. They either dug tunnels in the villages or established reconnaissance and patrol systems to spread the news back to the villages as much as possible before the enemy arrived. .
"The situation will be greatly improved if the little devils want to kill suddenly and then wantonly massacre the people as before.
In addition, in order to make up for the serious shortage of weapons, equipment and ammunition in the army, Li Guoyao ordered the logistics department to build a large arsenal in Sumu Mountain.
All the equipment in this arsenal was brought back from Datong City. There is a rifle production line, a machine gun production line and a bullet production line. It is also equipped with a gunpowder factory and a steel factory.
These things have been useless since they were brought back to Sumu Mountain. Now that the army has a relatively stable territory, Li Guoyao will naturally not let these machines rust.
Since there were not enough raw materials for production in the early stage, under Li Guoyao's order, the troops directly dismantled most of the railway tracks from Tianzhen to Jining on the Pingsui Railway. Even many locomotives and trains seized previously were Dismantled steelmaking.
Although the whole process was quite difficult, the first rifle was produced in early April, which made the entire Jiujiu Army very excited.
Even though the production capacity of the Sumushan Arsenal is really average, it can only produce 800 rifles, 30 light machine guns, 6 heavy machine guns, and more than one million rounds of ammunition a month. It cannot produce artillery shells, which is far from satisfying the troops. needed for combat.
However, having this arsenal means that the troops no longer need to capture weapons, equipment and ammunition to supplement them in combat, which is of great significance in this regard.
¡° Moreover, the current production capacity of the arsenal still has huge room for improvement. Once the production capacity is increased, the Ninth Army will really have the capital to return to its hometown. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
