Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

It must be said that even though the little devils were starving to the point of skin and bones, they still had some strength. After a few full meals, the devils worked even harder than the farmhands of the landlords.

Of course, this is just an isolated case. After all, not all Japanese soldiers have this awareness, and not all Japanese soldiers can pass through the minefield safely.

In fact, at this time, the Japanese in the country, except for those who were still fighting in Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, were really not as strong as before! In the words of the veterans, now the Japanese sent the elderly and children to the battlefield, and there was basically no one left in the country!
According to some records, the Japanese also used many methods to solve this problem. For example, they captured some young and strong people from China and sent them back to work as coolies or as human beings; for example, the Japanese would capture some young boys from China and send them back for brainwashing training, and when these children grew up, they would be sent to the battlefield...

However, because the war ended too quickly, these measures were abandoned before they could take effect. Well, this is what they say, but based on the nature of the Japanese, the borrowing of sperm is probably true.

After the wheat harvest season in the north, it is summer, the time when everything grows! After some training, and taking Zanhuang. After actual combat training in Gaoyi, Yuanshi and other counties, the special operations team finally completed the final formation in Xiaodouling. During this period, the idle members of the special operations team were also trained by the new recruits in the first division.

The weather was already very hot at this time, but the enthusiasm of the people in Xiaodouling was even hotter than the weather!
From spring to summer, after a few months of getting along, the people have become very familiar with the special forces. Some young men and women would run to the special forces training ground when they had nothing to do, and then spontaneously followed the training and also learned some skills to kill the enemy.

Moreover, when the special forces were giving special training to the new recruits in marksmanship, Division 200 also organized these militiamen to train together, and inadvertently trained a militia team of more than people.

Young men and women train here, and older people also like to go to the riverside of this stronghold to watch the excitement. Especially after the wheat harvest, the people who have enough food at home spontaneously form a small market in this narrow riverside area on the west side of Xiaodouling.

No one knows when this small market started. It was probably when the comrades of the special forces came out to the village with Hebei banknotes to buy eggs, vegetables and other supplies. Then some people who had plots of land by the river planted some seasonal vegetables and sold them at the Xiaodouling stronghold.

Special operations team + special training team, that's more than 500 people! Although the first division also manages some food, the consumption of meat, eggs and vegetables is not that rich. The standards of the special operations team are so high, so they naturally have money in their hands, which creates market demand. With demand, there is a market, and naturally there is a market...

The key point is that it was influenced by the Liangjiacun Arsenal.

Do you remember the smelting plant in Huidong Village? Although it is specialized in smelting bulletproof shield steel and gun barrel steel, there are always some unqualified products in production!

There is scrap steel here, and when the arsenal is processing, there will be scrapped products and scraps left. In response to these scraps and scraps, Li Yuexuan specially arranged a group of workers to use these scraps and waste to produce some bayonets, engineer shovels, engineer picks, and also produce civilian facilities, mainly agricultural tools and plows. When Li Yuexuan learned that there was a small market in Xiaodouling, he asked the comrades of the transport team to deliver some agricultural tools for sale when delivering supplies to the special forces!
Even though some scrap steel is not good for making gun barrels, it is definitely useful for making farm tools! Even if it is a sandwich steel process, it is good steel for the blade!
So, what was originally a small market soon became an important agricultural tool sales center in the district. Moreover, the sales here are very flexible. People can come to buy with Ji banknotes or barter. In short, a special forces team + buying agricultural tools directly created a market and revitalized the economy of this area!

Comrades from the First Division noticed this problem, and even conducted an investigation and research, and submitted a research report to the First Division and the Ninth Division. At the end of the report, it was stated that in order to develop the economy and meet the needs of the people, the Ninth Division, which had industrial production capacity, should apply to set up a factory to produce some civilian products for the people in the base area.

In fact, there were some civilian factories at the headquarters, such as textile factories, which were reopened after the factory buildings and equipment before the Anti-Japanese War were repaired.

However, the Ninth District is still a little worse, and the First District is even worse! So after seeing this report, the Ninth District also convened some cadres to discuss this issue.

"The comrades from the First Division have given us some suggestions. Tell us, what should we do?" Zhao Danian, who had not seen Li Yuexuan for a long time, kept looking at Li Yuexuan while speaking.

"Looking at me? Didn't the report say it? Sickles, a large number of sickles, hoes, shovels, rakes, hoes... these farm tools are most needed in Division 1! In fact, not only Division 1, we also need them, but we have a production team here, so we can share tools." Li Yuexuan said.

"In addition to these, there are also white cloth and flowered cloth. We can't solve this problem. What we can provide is clothes made from military uniforms seized from the Japanese. However, this division has also seized a lot recently, so there is no need to rush!" Zhu Xingyu said.

"Well, there is actually one thing we have overlooked, that is the iron pot! Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most fundamental issues! Look at these porcelain bowls we are using now, most of them came from Nanhengkou, Jingxing. There are also many ceramic kilns in the first district, so there is no shortage of rice bowls! But iron pots for cooking are in great demand now! Therefore, I suggest that we open a new iron pot factory!"

"Iron pot factory? That's great!" When Zhu Xingyu, Zhao Danian and a group of cadres heard Li Yuexuan mention iron pots, they also thought it was feasible.

"Well, it's easy to make an iron pot. You can hammer it or cast it. It's much easier than making guns and cannons! Iron pots and kitchen knives can be produced together! So, in Weijia Village, right in Weijia Village, we will build an iron pot factory that specializes in producing iron pots to meet the needs of the base!" (End of this chapter)
