"There must be no Eighth Route Army in the village now!" The chief of staff analyzed with a calm face.

"A company of troops bluffed in the village, attracting us to kill, and the main force hid here to ambush us, and hit us by surprise, what a powerful battle plan......"

"Report ......" another subordinate rushed over, panting and reporting.

"Sir, I just sent a reconnaissance team into Hujiazhuang, but not a single Eighth Route Army was found inside, the ammunition boxes piled up in the open space were also empty, and the piles of materials were also camouflaged with wheat straw."

The judgment was confirmed, and the chief of staff could not laugh at all.

I understood it too late, if I had discovered this conspiracy earlier, half an hour earlier, the loss of the troops would not have been so great, and I would have been able to turn defeat into victory and fight the Eighth Route Army with a counterattack.

But there is no regret in the world to take medicine, and defeat is defeat.

After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, he ordered: "The troops will occupy Hujiazhuang immediately, and all the light and serious wounded will enter the village and go to the village for rescue." ”

"Use the radio to contact the assembly area, and send out cars to bring medicine and doctors."

"Our losses in this battle are already big enough, we must bring back those seriously wounded."

"The heralds immediately caught up with the counterattacking troops, and the troops stopped the pursuit when they reached the edge of the hilly terrain."

"Our troops are too small, and the reinforcement role of aircraft in complex terrain is limited, and we will definitely suffer a big loss if we rush into the mountains."

Nearly five kilometers away from the battlefield at the confluence point of the garrison regiment, Li Hao's expression was very solemn.

The receiving troops that could be sent out were all out, but there were still not many artillery rescuers.

By eight o'clock in the evening, the last receiving unit had returned to the station with a few mortar parts, heralding the complete end of the operation.

The chief of staff took the results that had just been counted, and reported with a painful face: "Regiment commander, a total of 286 people from the artillery and flying thunder artillery units participated in the battle, and only 125 people came back, and 138 people from the guard company participated in the battle, and only 58 people came back. All the flying thunder guns were blown up by the devils, and 14 mortars were lost. ”

"However, their sacrifice is worth it, and the investigation has confirmed: there are at least 200 seriously wounded people sent to Hujiazhuang by the little devils, and more than 500 corpses, plus the casualties of the devil's pursuit troops, the loss of the devils in this battle must be 900."

Li Hao's face looked a lot better: "After subtracting these nine hundred people, it is impossible for the remaining Japanese puppet army to pose too much threat to us." ”

"The troops have a good rest, and we will go back to Laishui tomorrow night."

At the headquarters of the Lingqiu Garrison Regiment, political commissar Wang Hong was in a very good mood.

With the food and materials sent back by Yi County, I have more confidence to do things than before.

In the heavily guarded conference room, the heads of several departments of the garrison regiment all gathered in it to report the results.

Luo Yun, the deputy head of the regiment, was the first to speak: "Political commissar, during your absence, the devils sent 130,000 people to our base area, and the width of the surrounding no-man's land has reached thirty kilometers, and now it is mainly extended to both sides, completely besieging our garrison regiment." ”

"According to the plan, these people will be reintegrated in village units, some will be resettled in sparsely populated villages, some will be rebuilt in uninhabited areas, and some will be resettled in empty villages caused by the war."

"So far, not a single civilian has been frozen to death or starved to death."

He Wenlin, who was in charge of intelligence, followed suit.

"Political commissar, in the process of integrating these ordinary people, we found a total of 586 suspicious people, and after confirmation, 175 of them were spies planted by the Japanese puppet army."

"We have arranged for special personnel to keep an eye on the remaining suspicious people who cannot be confirmed, as long as they act and show their feet, they will definitely be arrested as soon as possible."

"There are 2,586 people who have fled into the no-man's land, and they are the most difficult to identify."

"After discussing with Deputy Head Luo, I decided to place them in the villages of the old base area."

"The villagers here are highly conscious and vigilant, and if someone is a spy, they will definitely not be able to escape their eyes."

"Now the number of sabotage carried out by Japanese puppet army agents in the base area has dropped by at least 70 percent compared with half a month ago."

"I am confident that it will be reduced to 10% within half a month, and I will ensure that the development of the base area will not be affected by these spies."

Luo Yun continued: "After we reintegrate and resettle the villagers, we are organizing everyone to produce and save themselves. ”

"We have done at least one in every household, and now we are organizing everyone to reclaim wasteland, breed earthworms, dig canals, and ......"

"Labor in exchange for food rations for the family."

"According to the current standard: every young man can get one pound of grain a day, and the old and weak women and children can get half a pound."

"I think this ration is too little, and it can only ensure that everyone does not starve to death."

"Under normal circumstances, a family can cultivate an acre of land in three days, but because there is not enough to eat and no strength, it takes at least five days for a family to open up an acre of land."

"Now that we are not short of food, political commissar, see if you can raise everyone's ration standards, even if each person increases their rations by one or two every day, hundreds of thousands of people can add up to a lot of wasteland."

"Can't increase it!" Wang Hong shook his head and refused.

"This is not only my opinion, but also the decision of the head of the regiment."

Seeing Luo Yun's puzzled face, Wang Hong explained: "Although the intelligence department has killed a large number of spies, there must be a lot of fish that have slipped through the net. ”

"If we increase the food ration now, it will be tantamount to telling the little devils: our food shortage problem has been solved."

"With food, the large amount of food flowing into our base areas will not only not become a burden, but will also increase our strength."

"The devil is not stupid, he will definitely change the battle plan, and attack us immediately before the hundreds of thousands of refugees have completely settled down, so that we will be exposed to the enemy."

"This is a situation that neither the regiment commander nor I want to see."

"What we need most now is time to fully settle the hundreds of thousands of refugees."

"Here are two orders from the regiment commander to everyone, first: the intelligence department continues to screen the Japanese puppet army spies among the refugees, and at the same time spread a message."

"There is a shortage of food in the base areas, and in order to ensure the food rations of hundreds of thousands of refugees, the rations of the main forces, local troops, and guerrillas in the base areas have all been reduced by 30 percent."

"The second order is for me and Deputy Regiment Commander Luo: from now on, we will start recruiting from among the refugees, and the main battalion and independent battalion will add another recruit company, and the strength of the recruit battalion directly under the regiment will be doubled."

"Once the news of our seizure of a large amount of supplies and food from Yi County leaks out, the devils will definitely send troops to attack us."

"Let the refugees join the Eighth Route Army, and the families and relatives of these recruits will definitely embrace and support us right away. With their guidance, other refugees will be able to support us very quickly, and the base area will be stable at that time. ”
