Chapter 272: Surplus Grain

Since the second half of last year, the devils have carried out a large-scale law and order rectification operation.

They became more and more tightly controlled by the lines of communication, and the devils established strongholds and turrets on both sides of the railway and highway lines, with the railways and highways as the backbone, and occupied the extended surface with points and lines.

The dense network of roads and railways, like a spider's web, cuts the base areas into pieces, and like a prison cage, tightens and tightens, making the base areas unable to move.

Take Xincheng as an example, even when the troops were at their most tense, Ogawa Seiichi would rather let go of Zhang Yunfei's department, but also hold the Xinqing Highway, Xinpinggong and other key points, in order to cut off the linkage of the various departments of the Eighth Road.

The current new city is located in the central hinterland of the devils, with the Tanabe Division in the south and the dancers in the north.

Now that the various units of the devils have been adjusted in place, and Seiichi Ogawa, who has sufficient troops, will naturally not let go of Zhang Yunfei's department, which made him lose face.

Of course, the Xincheng devil's sweeping operation is not isolated, and now that the devil's large-scale sweep has swept across the entire North China region, their anti-sweeping operation is insignificant in the entire war situation.

The devils relied on railways and highways to encroach on the anti-Japanese base areas, and the Eighth Route Army also began to organize troops to carry out large-scale sabotage operations, and the struggle on the communication lines became increasingly fierce and complicated.

That is to say, their current anti-sweeping operation can only be fought alone, and even when necessary, a large number of vital forces will be drawn out, after all, the headquarters organs and division headquarters are not too far away from them, and they can be reached by forced march in a day's journey.

As soon as the war situation requires, they need to immediately support the division headquarters, of course, this kind of transfer is not very likely, because they are not satisfied with the formation, according to the current situation, the number of troops that the regiment commander promised him to replenish is estimated to be far away, and it is very likely that they will end up without a problem.

As for waiting until after the war, all the troops will have losses, and it is even more unlikely that there will be surplus soldiers to replenish him at that time, and it seems that his own army has been in a state of shortage for a long time.

As for the plan to support the local area, it is naturally impossible, and now they are seriously understaffed, so naturally they have no spare strength to support the local area.

Although the scale of the devil's sweep is unprecedented, for a hinterland like the Xincheng area, the sweep is only the responsibility of the local garrison itself, and the scale of the sweep in the new city is not too large.

With the cooperation of a part of the puppet army, the devils of Xincheng once again attacked the base area of Zhang Yunfei's department.

Because Zhang Yunfei is in a position that is not in the key area of this devil's sweep, this devil's sweep is a bit routine, and it should be swept with the main force.

The main purpose of the devils is to sabotage the vital forces in the base areas, and now that we have entered the spring plowing season, this kind of sabotage will have a tremendous impact on the production and life of the people in the base areas.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the devil sweep, Zhang Yunfei felt that the way of the devil sweep was different this time, their advance speed was very fast, and the connection between the Japanese puppet armies in all directions was also quite meticulous, and there were almost no gaps to be used.

Their purpose is very clear, that is, to destroy, destroy, and destroy.

For the actions of this devil, Zhang Yunfei has no way, the source of ammunition of the Eighth Route Army mainly depends on capture, once the consumption in the battle is huge, the capture is not enough to replenish, and finally falls into a vicious circle of insufficient ammunition to fight a war of annihilation, no capture, lack of ammunition.

In the last battle, their three battalions consumed a huge amount of ammunition, and now the evil results are apparent, Zhang Yunfei can only take his own three battalions that are not satisfied with the formation, avoid the real and make up for the false, constantly looking for fighters, looking for opportunities to attack the small force of the Japanese puppet army, in order to gradually supplement the problem of insufficient ammunition in the team.

If the ammunition is not solved, they can only be helpless in the face of the little devils, even if there are fighters, they can't do anything, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, for the devil's wolf-like attack, Zhang Yunfei can only be helpless, and he has never been able to find a fighter.

At this time, there was also good news from Tiedan, the ammunition that Wang Zhengyi promised to raise for them was finally prepared, but with the sweep and blockade of the devils, it was not easy for them to carry a large number of supplies through the sweeping blockade area.

Zhang Yunfei had to take the risk of crossing the Xinqing Highway again with his troops and entering the Xinnan region.

Wang Zhengyi, this guy is also a wonderful person, he is the most good at judging the situation, and he is also very atmospheric, but it is a pity that he entered the wrong line and became a traitor.

Now that the devil has begun to implement the new year's law and order rectification plan, the smoke is everywhere, and the food and ammunition of the Eighth Road are extremely scarce.

If you want to say where he has so many guns and ammunition, this is actually not a problem, he can pull up a battalion of troops by himself, saying that he has no channels to get guns and ammunition, no one will believe it.

In this troubled era, there is a channel for arms in his hands, that is, he has mastered a mountain of gold, and it is conceivable that he will definitely have a lot of money, which is why Li Jianfeng is very jealous of him.

Although Li Jianfeng's security army has thousands of people, there are not many of his real descendants, and the hearts of the people are separated from each other, and who knows how much is really loyal to him.

Isn't being a traitor just for glory and wealth, how many people can resist Jin Yuan's offensive, who can say for sure.

Wang Zhengyi's business method is running his own power, and everyone is afraid of him, even Zhang Yunfei is very jealous of him, thinking that he is a dangerous person, but he has to accept his overtures.

This time too, seeing that they were in difficulty, this guy immediately provided support like charcoal in the snow, and he can do the ultimate in selling favors, and you have to accept it.

In the past, the Independent Regiment and the Xinqing Detachment were blocked in the mountains, and there was an extreme shortage of supplies, so he did just that, and he sold favors hard.

The Eighth Route Army is embarrassed, and if there is any hoeing action, they will deliberately avoid him.

As far as Zhang Yunfei knows, this guy has a bit of friendship with all parties involved in the anti-Japanese resistance, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get so many guns and ammunition.

He is really a bit condescending to be a traitor, but being a traitor is regarded as another kind of success by him.

Wang Zhengyi really made an extraordinary move, directly giving them more than 3,000 rounds of various bullets, no matter what, with Wang Zhengyi's ammunition supply like charcoal in the snow, their three battalions immediately recovered most of their combat effectiveness.

With food in their hands, they don't panic in their hearts, and now their troops are at least confident that they will fight with the devils, and they will no longer be like before, and they can only hide away when they see the devils.
