The beacon of youth

The Fifth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was officially born in January of the [-]th. This is a force composed entirely of fighters from various ethnic minorities in Xin Jiang.

Born in 1912, the 38-year-old Political Commissar Chen was at the age of abundant energy. Under the leadership of Political Commissar Chen and Commander Lesken, the Fifth Army and the ** Brigade carried out large-scale mass work together.

The Fifth Army had a new political commissar, which made it easier to cooperate with brother units in the future. With the support of the old chief and Commander Lesken, the cooperation between the ** Brigade and the Fifth Army became more tacit.

Time passed day by day, and this was a rare good time. The ** brigade, which has been fighting continuously for several years, finally had a longer rest period. While doing mass work, the training of the troops is also on the right track.

Li Yong has long been looking forward to such a big rest period. The army has expanded to more than 3000 people. The scale is not small, but many soldiers are new liberation soldiers who have been captured. Their political awareness and thinking are far from those of the old soldiers. , so we must seize the time and opportunity to get the soldiers' minds up, otherwise there will be big problems. The political commissar Wang Chengde is a cadre with a background in political work, and he has a higher understanding of raising the political awareness of the troops than Li Yong, so don't look at it. The army is not fighting, but it is not idle at all. Military training and political education have made the strings in the heads of all the officers and soldiers of the brigade tense.

Outside the city of Dihua, there was constant shouting and killing. On the training field opened by the ** brigade, brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde fought with the soldiers all day long, practicing various technical and tactical moves. It's the brigade commander and the political commissar, and they are unambiguous when doing the movements, and they are also rushing with tens of kilograms of weight on their backs when they are practicing physical fitness.

Veterans are already accustomed to this. Military training, of course all members must participate, but some new liberation fighters are very shocked, senior commanders at the division and brigade level.There are plenty of cars and armored vehicles to sit in, but they still practice physical fitness and tactics like ordinary soldiers. How can such a chief not be admired.

The new fighters in the ** brigade were all shocked, not to mention the 22nd Corps reorganized from the Xinjiang Kuomintang troops.They didn't understand the behavior of the ** brigade, and some people even made sarcastic remarks: "Look at these brigades, why are you so nervous when there is no war? They roll around like mud monkeys all day long. I heard that their brigade The chief and the political commissar also dig holes and run with the privates, I really don’t understand why.”

The power of role models is infinite. Driven by Li Yong and Wang Chengde, the shouts and killings on the training ground of the ** brigade continued day and night.Li Yong told the soldiers, we can't control people's mouths, we can say what we like, but we can't miss a day of training, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime, this is an eternal truth.

Mobilize the masses and do local work well.At the same time, we must actively carry out military training and ideological education, and everything is going on intensely and orderly, however. It is impossible to live like this forever, and the ** brigade, which has been quiet for more than two months in the Dihua area, has once again received a new mission.

The large troops of Yiye came over one after another in the following days, and the Second Army and Sixth Army of the First Corps (the affiliation of the Corps was exchanged with the Seventh Army before the troops entered Xinjiang) all arrived.

Arriving a while earlier, the ** Brigade can be called a landlord. For this reason, Chen Haihan, the chief of staff of the Sixth Army, ran over specially, saying that Li Yong and Wang Chengde would entertain him well, and if the hospitality was not good, he would not leave. .

These are nothing, the old comrades are here, of course the wine is enough.But Chief of Staff Chen Haihan didn't come here for a drink. He wanted the ** Brigade to introduce the Sixth Army to them more about their work experience in Xin Jiang.

As the first troops to enter Xinjiang, it is impossible for the ** brigade to stay in one place for a long time. In other words, it is necessary to carry out work in new areas and give up areas with a certain mass base to new troops.

The area of ​​xin jiang is too large.It is so big that although there are 10,000+ troops entering Xinjiang, there is still not enough distribution. Once people are scattered, you can’t see anything. The ** brigade has more than 3000 people. It is impossible for these thousands of people to always be crowded together , Li Yong and the ** brigade, according to the order of their superiors, should divide the troops into small units one by one, and scatter the seeds on every piece of land in Xin Jiang like a goddess scattering flowers.

The orders of the superiors are undoubtedly correct. Although Xin Jiang was peacefully liberated, many people have not seen what the real People's Liberation Army looks like, let alone their feelings and arbitrariness. Only let the people know the People's Liberation Army, know the People's Liberation Army, and understand the People's Liberation Army. , to open up a way out for future work, this is the most basic.

Only by dispersing the troops can the influence of the People's Liberation Army be expanded, so that the masses can see the legendary People's Liberation Army in the fastest time, but in this way, another problem arises. <February is the time when the harvest is not harvested, and it is also the most difficult time for the people in suffering. Due to successive years of wars, a large number of young and middle-aged laborers have died, the population is mobile, the agricultural land is short of plowing and sowing, and the water conservancy facilities are in disrepair. Coupled with the crazy destruction of the Kuomintang army before fleeing, all this has brought a very serious problem to New China, that is-famine, also called disaster famine, mentioning these two words, as long as China, a populous country, has a little experience and age People who are in trouble will have lingering fears, not to mention that they have caught up, they are afraid even thinking about it.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand, what is the most important?Only food is the most important thing. Only when there is food can we not panic and have seasons. Many places are in a state where farmers have no crops, factories and government staff have no rice to cook. The situation is extremely serious.

Food, food, food that keeps people awake at night has become the top priority at the moment. If the famine continues, it will cause chaos across the country. This is by no means alarmist. <The broadcast cannot be missed, it must be grasped, the disaster relief funds raised by various places must be in place in time, and the staff must cut down on food and clothing to tide over the difficulties together.

The lack of food is nationwide, and it will inevitably affect the troops. The Kuomintang, the Communist Party and the two armies first fought a civil war for more than ten years, then the eight-year war of resistance, and finally three years of decisive battle. Ten thousand people, the food for these millions of people has become a big burden.

The national war has just ended, and it will take at least a year to resume production. The old liberated areas have no major problems, and all work, production and life have been carried out step by step, but the new liberated areas can't do it. If the weather is good this year, the newly liberated areas will not see results until after autumn, and the period from the beginning of spring to the end of autumn becomes the most critical period.

what to do?People are iron, rice is steel, and everything is fake without food. The four major field armies, with millions of troops, collect food from where, and transfer it from the old liberated areas. After fighting out, the troops are too far away from the old areas, and the transportation capacity of the PLA is poor. Not to mention the high cost of transporting food from the old areas, the efficiency is too slow, so we still have to rely on collecting food from the local area, but the life of the local people is already hard enough. Yes, their own food is not enough to eat, and the amount that can be collected is limited.

Is there no way?Of course there was a way. In the rural areas at that time, landlords and so-called gentry held a lot of land, and they also took up a lot of resources. Regardless of the hardships the common people lived, how could they enjoy it or enjoy it? Lots of food.

If they wanted to collect food, they had to bleed profusely.

For this reason, the newly established government at all levels in the local area has sent a large number of work teams to do work at all levels, and try their best to collect food. These work teams are also called grain collection teams. The small team has a dozen people, and the larger one has dozens or hundreds of people. They are active in every corner of the countryside with simple weapons and equipment.

<b耕生产，工作既复杂又艰巨。

Hard work is not paid to those who have a heart, and of course there will be rewards if you pay. It is precisely because of the hard work of these work teams that after a period of time, the people in the newly liberated areas also have a new understanding of the PLA, knowing that it is an army fighting for the poor. troops.

Of course, some people are happy, and some people are hostile. The people are happy, but those landlords who used to be domineering and domineering are not happy. If there is no food and food, even farm laborers and long-term laborers will be gone. Is this okay?Therefore, in some newly liberated areas, some forces are ready to move.

It is not only some old rich landlords who are armed in their hands, but also the evil forces from all over the country, as well as the spies and party backbones left behind by the Kuomintang after they escaped.

According to historical records, in the Beijing area alone, there were more than 3000 Kuomintang agents of various kinds, and more than 1 members of the party and league members (above branch committee members). After liberation, more than [-] Kuomintang agents of various types remained in the Beijing area.

The secret agents in the Beijing area and the backbone of the Kuomintang party group are just a microcosm. Some of these people have been lurking, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback, and some are pretending to be active and have penetrated into our army and institutions.

At the beginning of the [-]s, due to various factors, banditry was serious all over the country. In March, a report on banditry was reported to Zhong Yang. The report reads: (To be continued. Welcome to vote for recommendation, Monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)v
