    On November 19, after a day and night of forced marching, the participating troops, the rescued miners, captured Japanese troops and overseas Chinese all arrived at Sumu Mountain.

    Although there are not many participating troops who came back this time, there are still four to five thousand people. In addition, more than 50,000 miners were rescued. There were also more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops captured. In addition to more than 8,000 overseas Chinese, originally  Sumu Mountain, which is famous for its vast territory and sparsely populated areas, was instantly overcrowded!

    " Everyone, including Ma Desheng, was dumbfounded that Li Guoyao had brought back so many people at once, and at the same time they didn't quite understand.

    Those puppet troops are okay anyway, they are soldiers after all, and can go to the battlefield with a little training, but those miners are in trouble.

    Except for some of them who are prisoners of war, most of them are ordinary people forcibly captured by the Japanese from nearby Datong, Hebei, Suiyuan and other places. They have not received any military training before, and now they are all very weak and unable to  Conduct training.

    According to Ma Desheng's estimation, if these people want to truly become combat-ready troops, they now need at least one month of physical rest, plus half a year of military training.

    In this way, these people will bring a heavy burden to the army!

    ¡°After all, these are not hundreds or thousands of people, but tens of thousands of people.

    In addition, there were Japanese soldiers and Japanese expatriates. The total number of miscellaneous people was tens of thousands. Ma Desheng could not figure out why Li Guoyao wanted to bring those people back. Putting aside the economic pressure, would it be harmful for these people to enter the Sumushan base area alone?  No one can guarantee that the secrets of the army will be revealed.

    Originally, this time the troops scraped three feet of ground from Datong City and brought back a large amount of military supplies, which made Ma Desheng and others very happy. However, when so many people poured into Sumu Mountain, Ma Desheng felt that his happiness was in vain.

    There were more than 70,000 more people for nothing, and the supplies consumed every day were astronomical. For food alone, the army had to spend at least nearly 100,000 kilograms every day.

    What concept is this?

    Two thousand jins is one ton, one hundred thousand jins is fifty tons, and this is only the consumption of people in Sumushan area in one day.

    According to estimates by Ma Desheng and others, the amount of grain seized by the troops from Datong, Fengzhen, Pingdiquan, Tuguiwula and other places this time is about 8 million kilograms. According to this consumption, this batch of materials will be available for up to three months.  end.

    And three months later it will be February next year, which is the coldest time of the year in the north and the lean season. Even if the little devils don't come to attack, there will be a food crisis.

    However, when Ma Desheng informed Li Guoyao about this matter, it seemed that he did not pay attention to it, and Li Guoyao did not express anything about it!

    In fact, Li Guoyao attaches great importance to this group of people!

    As a southerner, Ma Desheng does not understand the actual situation in the north at all. In the south, materials always come first because they have no shortage of people.

    Let¡¯s talk about a statistic. Take Sichuan as an example. During the fourteen years of the Anti-Japanese War, the people of Sichuan made outstanding contributions to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. They ranked first in the country in terms of the number of troops and finances they provided.

    You may have heard the saying, "Without a river, you cannot form an army."  During the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan sent nearly three million young soldiers to the front, ranking first in the country.  Secondly, on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan soldiers also suffered the largest number of sacrifices. According to statistics, there were about 640,000 people, accounting for one-fifth of the number of military sacrifices in the country.

    After talking about the contribution of soldiers, let¡¯s talk about Sichuan¡¯s financial contribution to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.  Everyone knows that during the Anti-Japanese War, most of China's provinces were occupied areas, and the National Government was huddled in the southwest corner. Therefore, most of the country's fiscal expenditures were borne by Sichuan Province.

    According to post-war archive statistics, the total fiscal expenditure of the National Government during the 14-year Anti-Japanese War was more than 1.464 billion yuan in legal currency, and Sichuan Province alone borne 440 billion yuan, accounting for more than 30%.

    It is said that "the troops will disperse without food." Finally, let's talk about the food security provided by Sichuan for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. During the Anti-Japanese War, the food produced in the entire province was not enough to feed tens of millions of people in Sichuan Province. However, in order to win the Anti-Japanese War, the people of Sichuan scrimped on food and clothing.  , paid a heavy land tax for the country's independence.

    According to statistics, from 1941 to 1945, Sichuan Province collected a total of 85.01 million shi of grain from land taxes, accounting for more than 1/3 of the total grain collected nationwide.  In addition, arsenals across Sichuan provided a large amount of weapons, ammunition, clothing and other various materials to the anti-Japanese front line.

    So much so that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek said: "Since the rise of the Anti-Japanese War, the central government has made Sichuan an important base for the Anti-Japanese War. Our compatriots in Sichuan Province respect the supremacy of the country and the military first, and are loyal, hard-working, and united.  Work hard to mobilize human and financial resources.?The amount borne by the grain administration and military service for the year belongs to each province.  The defeated general will be generous and must pay first. The strong men will join the army and be eager to fight.  As for all the work related to the war of resistance, such as increasing production, transportation, raising debts, donating funds, etc., they all performed well.  The actual resources of the army are supplied and the sources of troops are replenished.  "

    ¡° Just looking at Sichuan, we can see that in general, the southern provinces are relatively abundant in terms of personnel and materials, especially personnel.

    This is because during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, China's economic center of gravity shifted from the north to the south, and the population of the south gradually surpassed that of the north.

    Looking at the north, although there is no shortage of materials, the population is much worse than the south. Therefore, the most important thing in the north is not money, food and materials, but people.

    Looking at the entire Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe and other places, spanning thousands of miles of territory, the population is pitifully small. Suiyuan has only two million people, and Chahar is even less, not even two million.  arrive.

    Li Guoyao calculated that from Baotou to Chengde, including Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe, and northern Shanxi and northern Hebei, the total population is only seven to eight million, which is less than that of any province in the south.  A fraction of that.

    Without people, everything is nonsense, so the first thing Li Guoyao did when he conquered Datong was to snatch people from the Japanese devils!

    Many people may find it hard to believe this, because all our textbooks have always emphasized that China has a long history, a vast area, and a large population. In fact, China has a vast land and abundant resources. The most important thing in China is people.

    But many people don¡¯t know that in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, many battles between China and Japan centered on the competition for population and strategic materials, especially population.

    Many people don¡¯t know that the war of aggression launched by Japan against China is not only a military aggression against China, but also an economic and population plunder against China!

    Whenever the Japanese go to a place, they must first control the strategic resources in the area, such as steel, coal, cotton, food, etc. The Japanese will not let go of anything related to war.

    Secondly, the Japanese army controlled the local Chinese people for various reasons or in the name, or arrested or deceived them. In short, they picked up a large number of young and middle-aged people and then sent them to Northeast China. Some of them were directly  They were sent back to Japan and became miserable laborers.

    At this time, not only Datong, but also Japanese concentration camps were built in many places in China. Unlike the German concentration camps during World War II, the Japanese concentration camps mainly served as transfer stations.

    The Japanese army arrested a large number of Chinese civilians and concentrated them in concentration camps in some big cities. At this time, these captured Chinese people had a special label - Chinese laborers, and their next destination was Japan.  Native.

    And now it is already 1941, and the Pacific War is about to break out. Because the little devil has made enemies all over the world, he is surrounded by China, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union and other countries.

    As the scale of the war continues to expand, Japan must deal with the Chinese battlefield and the entire Pacific battlefield at the same time. Basically, the entire Asia is the war zone of the Japanese.

    To maintain such a large battlefield requires more than just weapons and equipment. The most important thing is to have enough troops.

    So the Japanese frantically expanded their troops, issued nationwide mobilization orders one after another, and carried out large-scale recruitment propaganda in Japan.

    The Japanese are also enthusiastic about this war. As soon as the war mobilization order is issued, young and middle-aged people rush to the military camp screaming like a chicken blood, becoming pawns of the Japanese government's foreign expansion.

    A large number of young and middle-aged people in the country have been recruited to participate in the war, which will inevitably lead to a serious shortage of labor force for production. After all, there are only so many Japanese people, and one will wax and wane!

    Especially after the outbreak of the Pacific War, almost all men of school age in Japan enlisted in the army and went to fight in various parts of Asia.

    At this time, the problem of labor shortage in Japan was very serious, which even affected the process of the frontline war.
