Glorious Mission 1937

Industry and agriculture are the main force of regional development, agriculture is the foundation of industry, industry is the cradle of weapons and equipment, and weapons and equipment are an important part of the combat effectiveness of the army.As long as the two legs of industry and agriculture are well coordinated, you can stand upright and speak wherever you go in the future.Therefore, before actually stepping onto the world stage, Chen Feng especially needed to adjust these two legs.

Therefore, after the meeting, Chen Feng conducted a one-month inspection of the entire war zone. The main object of investigation was the development of various industrial areas and agricultural and animal husbandry areas. During the inspection, Chen Feng found many problems. The development is relatively balanced, but the speed of development is not very fast. There are 1 iron and steel production enterprises in the entire Saibei Province, with an annual production of 14 million tons of crude steel and 1090 million tons of iron, which cannot meet the production and living needs of the military and civilians in the eighth theater.Especially to support the huge plan that Chen Feng made before, this amount of steel production is far from enough.

Therefore, after Chen Feng consumed 11 system points, he exchanged 5 steel production lines with an annual output of 500 million tons from the system, and shipped them to Baotou, Yikezhao League, Datong, Wuhai, and Ulan Bator respectively. The northern part of the interior will be built into a major iron and steel province, and its output must exceed that of the Soviet Union and the United States.

In addition, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in Sebei Province is seriously lagging behind, especially agriculture.The largest agricultural and animal husbandry in the province is located in the Hetao Plain of Bayannaoer League. However, due to the sparse population and backward agricultural technology, the grain output of the entire Hetao Plain is not as high as expected.

According to statistics, in 1940, Bameng had a total of 186 million mu of arable land, 173 million mu of grain crops, and a total output of 23 billion jin, with a grain output of only about 110 jin per mu.Although it has increased by more than 1939 million catties compared with 7000.But for the entire North Seibei Province, this amount of food still cannot solve the food ration problem for everyone, and the food gap in the North Seibei Province is still very large.

In addition, there are 101 million livestock in the entire Bameng area, an increase of 1939 million compared to 216.In addition, Bameng provided about 30 tons of meat to the province last year.

Although the development momentum is good, it is still far, far away from what Chen Feng needs.As Ju Chenfeng knew, the production potential of Bameng was huge.In later generations, the planting area of ​​crops here is as high as more than 1000 million mu, and the planting area of ​​food crops alone can reach more than 500 million mu, and the total output is as high as 603 billion catties.

Due to the pleasant climate and fertile soil in the Hetao Plain.The fields are criss-crossed, suitable for the growth of spring wheat, rice, millet, grain, soybean, sorghum, corn and other crops.Later generations of Bameng mainly focus on wheat, corn and some economic crops. The annual output of wheat can exceed 10 billion catties every year, and the yield per mu is as high as 670 catties.Corn can easily exceed 50 billion catties, and the yield per mu can even reach 1500 catties.

In addition, the Hetao Plain is also a well-known pastoral area in later generations, and the annual stock of livestock is generally controlled at about 1000 million.The breeding capacity can reach 2000 million heads, and some agricultural products can reach about half of the country's total output. [

This is the Land of Fish and Rice in Chen Feng's mind, and this is the Hetao Plain in Chen Feng's mind.Insufficient agricultural production severely restricts the development of Saibei Province and the Eighth War Zone. Without food, more soldiers cannot be recruited, and without enough soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the troops cannot grow rapidly. This phenomenon must be changed.

It is not easy to change the status quo. We must know that the main reason for the lagging development of agriculture and animal husbandry in the Northern Saibei area is the small population and backward agricultural technology.Agricultural technology is okay, but the small population is a flaw.

On April 4th, Chen Feng made another radio speech to the people of the whole country, calling on farmers with little land all over the country to immigrate to Saibei Province, and told farmers from all over the country that as long as they arrived in Saibei Province, the provincial government would immediately give them 20 yuan per person. Mu of land and most of the means of production needed for production and living, including farm tools, seeds and part of the funds needed for building houses.

Of course, these things are not free, which requires farmers to apply to the government.And repay a part of it from your own harvest every year until it is repaid.

In addition, Chen Feng also called on the population in the enemy-occupied areas to be transferred to Saibei Province, and Chen Feng would give them the same treatment, as long as they arrived in Saibei Province, they would still be given 20 mu of land per person.In order to ensure the implementation of the entire plan.Chen Feng deliberately mobilized 2 million US dollars from the small treasury of the Chen family for this special fund.

The population problem is solved, so the rest is the problem of agricultural technology. Chen Feng himself doesn't understand it very well, so he has to ask the little fox for help. The little fox is happy, and after deducting Chen Feng's two points of consulting fees, he gives Chen Feng an answer. , no matter how advanced the agricultural technology is now, it is not suitable for the development in Northern Saibei Province. On the one hand, there is no foundation. On the other hand, agricultural technology is a long-term process, and there is no great effect in a short period of time. What Chen Feng needs now is immediate results This effect, therefore, cannot use broad agricultural technology as the main means.

According to the little fox's opinion, Chen Feng can spend part of the points to exchange for a batch of high-quality seeds from the system, and don't need too many tricks, just three kinds are enough - wheat, corn, and potatoes.Then, in the name of the Saibei Provincial Government, it will be given to all farmers for free, as long as the farmers return the seeds to the government after harvesting, this will greatly increase the grain production of Saibei Province in a short period of time.

In addition, things like chemical fertilizers are also indispensable, and agricultural machinery cannot be used, but these things require a lot of money, and the government is under too much pressure for free, but it can be spread in a small scale. As for how to expand the small fox Only said three words - Nanniwan.

Chen Feng is also a smart person, he knows everything.This Nanniwan is the product of the large-scale production movement launched by Yan'an. Historically, from 1941 to 1942, due to the consumption of the long-term war, the brutal "mopping up" of the Japanese army, the economic blockade of the diehards of the Nationalist government, and the invasion of natural disasters , The large increase in non-production personnel has caused great difficulties in the financial economy of the base areas.

Faced with such a severe situation, the Yan'an side called on the military and civilians in the border area to work harder to carry out production activities, so that the financial economy of the border area will change from semi-self-sufficiency to complete self-sufficiency.Although inexperienced, after a difficult course of exploration, considerable achievements have been made.Among them, the achievements of the 359 Brigade in developing Nanniwan are particularly outstanding.

After the hard work of all the officers and soldiers of the 359th Brigade, the mass production movement has achieved remarkable results.The commanders and fighters of the whole brigade reclaimed more than 201 million mu of land, turning Nanniwan, where wild wolves are swarming and desolate, into "Northern Shaanxi Jiangnan" where there are abundant grains and flocks of cattle and sheep.The whole brigade is completely self-sufficient in food, clothing, and use, and pays 1 shi of public grain to the government every year, creating a miracle in the history of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign military establishment.

In 1941, the 359 brigade opened up 11200 mu of wasteland, harvested 1200 shi of fine grain, and the grain self-sufficiency rate reached 359. The 26800 brigade cultivated an area of ​​305 mu and harvested fine grain for 600 years. The six districts of Shanxi, Taiyue, and Wanzhong expanded their arable land by more than 3900 million mu. The organs and troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region needed 1500 million kilograms of fine grain (millet), and their own production reached [-] million kilograms.Many troops in the border area have achieved self-sufficiency in food and funds, realizing the goal of "doing it yourself and having enough food and clothing".

Speaking of Nanniwan does not mean that Nanniwan will be used as an experimental base, nor that chemical fertilizers and agricultural machinery will be sent to Yan'an.Instead, like the Yan'an side, some troops stationed in the rear are called on to carry out actions similar to the mass production movement.

However, unlike Yan'an's poor and idle production, the mass production movement in the Eighth War Zone is a mass production movement based on high technology and high mechanization.

Chen Feng was very satisfied with the plan given by the little fox. He immediately called Zhang Zhigang, the commander of the Suixi Military Region, and asked him to dispatch five infantry regiments and a large number of technical backbones to conduct surveys in the southeast of the Hetao Plain. Each regiment selected a 5-square-kilometer Land reclamation. [

Zhang Zhigang was taken aback by this order. Although the Suixi Military Region belongs to the rear of the Eighth War Zone, generally speaking, there will be no major battles. After the Japanese air force was beaten to pieces, it is already quite safe here. .But it is incredible to deploy five infantry regiments to reclaim wasteland at once. You must know that the five infantry regiments have a total of 5 people, accounting for one-sixth of the entire Suixi Military Region.

That's all right, but the task assigned by Commander Chen is not small. What is the concept of 600 square kilometers for a regiment? Serving 1500 mu of land by one person is a task that cannot be accomplished at all.

Regarding the question raised by Zhang Zhigang, I repeatedly think that it is not a problem at all. Last year, Saibei Province has established a tractor production plant in Baotou Heavy Industry Zone, and the tractors produced have also begun to be widely used in the vicinity of Guisui. We only need to mobilize a batch of tractors and tractors for the Suixi Military Region hands, other problems are almost solved, and there is also a fertilizer factory in Baotou. As long as those troops work hard, the output should be very impressive.

After seeing the plan designed by Chen Feng, Zhang Zhigang stopped talking. If the tractor is really as powerful as Commander Chen said, this task is not impossible.

Chen Feng believed that as long as the troops performed well, it would be easy for the common people to talk about it, as long as they saw the real things.At that time, no matter whether it is tractors or chemical fertilizers, it is not afraid that they will not be sold. You must know that there are quite a lot of real local tyrants in this era, but usually these people don’t show their mountains or show their water, and hide deeply. (to be continued...)
