Regiment commander, Laiyuan Independent Battalion emergency power! Communication platoon commander Zhou Liang hurriedly ran in and reported.

"More than 13,000 civilians poured in from the defense area they were responsible for in one day today, all of them were old and weak, women and children, and none of them were young and strong, and all of them entered the base area empty-handed, without bringing a single piece of clothing."

"I learned from these ordinary people: This morning, the Japanese puppet army surrounded their village, and all the young men were sent to a nearby stronghold to work as coolies for the Japanese."

"Then the puppet army snatched all the rations from their homes, set fire to the village, and finally sent them to the edge of the base area, and forced them to enter our base area with guns."

"What a vicious trick!" Li Hao instantly saw the conspiracy of the Japanese and scolded with a calm face.

Wang Hong's face also sank: "The little devil's trick is indeed poisonous enough." ”

"All the grain was snatched away, all the houses were burned down, and the retreat of these ordinary people was completely cut off, forcing them to enter our base areas, and increasing our burden."

Hong Linfeng also reacted, and said with a calm face: "It's ruthless enough to leave Qingzhuang." ”

"Without the young and strong, we will not be able to recruit troops from among these ordinary people, and we will not even be able to find a single strong laborer, which means that these old and weak women and children who have entered the base areas can only consume our already small amount of food for a long time, increase our burden, and provide us with no help."

Seeing that several regiment leaders fell silent one after another, Zhou Liang continued to report: "Battalion Commander He reported that in order to prevent these old and weak women and children from being frostbitten and freezing to death at night, he has organized local troops and village guerrillas to vacate all the rooms that can be vacated nearby and temporarily resettle them. ”

"And all the grain stored in the battalion headquarters is also taken out to make porridge to ensure that the villagers are not starved to death."

"But there are so many people pouring into the base area that their food stockpiles can last for up to 10 days."

"If there is another influx of ordinary people into the base area tomorrow, no one knows how long that grain will last."

"What's more, they can't spare any extra room in their defense zone."

"If there are ordinary people pouring into the base area, they can only sleep in the wilderness."

"Please come up with a way to resettle these people as soon as possible."

Wang Hong reminded: "Regiment commander, if the Japanese really plan to consume our food and increase the pressure on the base area through these old and weak women and children, there will definitely be more than that. ”

"We must be fully prepared to welcome more elderly and infirm women and children into our base areas."

"Regiment Commander, telegram from the Guangling Independent Battalion!" Zhou Liang, who had just left for less than five minutes, appeared in front of them again.

"More than 9,000 civilians poured in from the defense area they were responsible for today, all of them were old, weak, women and children, and they did not carry a single piece of food.

Li Hao's face became even heavier, and he looked at Wang Hong and replied: "Political commissar, your judgment is right, there will definitely be more ordinary people driven into our base area by the Japanese puppet army in the next few days." ”

"Our Eighth Route Army is a team of ordinary people, even if the people who enter the base area are old, weak, women and children, they may eat up and drag down our garrison regiment, and we can't stop them outside the base area, stand by and watch, and watch them starve to death and freeze to death."

"We don't know how many people will end up pouring into our base, but I advise everyone to prepare for the worst."

"Commissar, how much food do you still have?"

"All the ordinary people who enter our base areas must ensure that each person has half a catty of grain per day according to the number of people, which is the minimum standard for maintaining a person's survival.

"If there are really ordinary people starving to death in our base area, then we will be sorry for this set of Eighth Route Army uniforms and the name of the Eighth Route Army."

Wang Hong did not hide it: "25 million catties, of which 5 million catties are the rations of the troops, and they must not be moved, and the remaining 20 million catties are reserved for life-saving use before the autumn harvest next year." ”

"I have investigated the situation of the people in the base area."

"Although we have obtained water by digging deep wells and building reservoirs, so that 30% of the land in the base area can be planted with grain, this year's harvest is not satisfactory, and the yield per mu of land is only 6 to 70 percent of previous years."

"Even if we get rid of all the public grain, this grain will only be enough for the people in the base area to eat for eight months, and the remaining four months of food shortage will depend on this grain in my hands."

"I did the math, 20 million catties of grain is barely enough for the people in the base area to last until next autumn's harvest."

Li Hao thought for a moment and replied firmly: "We will find a way to solve the food shortage before the autumn harvest next year, and the top priority at the moment is to ensure that the ordinary people who pour into the base areas will not starve to death." ”

"You are personally responsible for this matter political commissar, you can use as much food as you want, don't be reluctant, and ensure that no one starves to death in the base area."

Wang Hong nodded and continued to ask, "How to solve the problem if you live." ”

"It's a cold winter, it's too cold, especially at night, and any accident may cause these old and weak women and children to freeze to death and frostbite."

This question did not stump Li Hao, and blurted out directly: "The base area is so large, it will definitely be able to accommodate them." ”

"There are ancestral halls and empty houses in every village in the base area, and there are even many villages where people have gone to empty buildings because of the war, and people can live in these places."

"We resettle these people in proportion to the population."

"A village of 100 people is responsible for the dwellings of 10 old and weak women and children, a village of 200 people is responsible for the dwellings of 20 old and weak women and children, and so on."

"The political commissar is still in charge of this matter, with the assistance of Deputy Regiment Commander Luo, and as soon as it dawns tomorrow, we will order the local troops and guerrillas along the line to organize these ordinary people to move to our base area, and then divide them into villages in proportion."

"But there's one thing you have to keep in mind."

"When distributing, we must do a good job of registration, and the villagers who originally belonged to a village should try to be together, or several villages next to each other, so that it is convenient for their relatives to enter the base area to find them in the future."

"In addition, the little devils have destroyed their homes, even if we have the opportunity to rescue the young men left by the devils in the future and reunite their families, it will be difficult for them to return to their original villages to continue their lives."

"So the villages need to find a way to support them and let them settle down in the local area."

"Although these people are all old, weak, women and children, they can't be soldiers, and they don't have the physical strength of young people, but they can still do some basic farm work and production self-help."

"The house base area can organize local people and troops to help them build it, but they must reclaim the land themselves."

"Now there are still a few months left before next year's spring ploughing, even if they are all old and weak, women and children, they can still reclaim the food ration fields for themselves and their families."

The heavy expression on Wang Hong's face slowly eased.

In the face of the little devil's new poisonous plan, he was still in a mess just now, and he didn't have any clue.

Now after listening to the regiment commander's analysis and orders, the confused mind suddenly cleared up.

Then I realized that this is not an unsolvable problem.

After recording all Li Hao's orders, he put away his pen and replied confidently: "Don't worry, the regiment commander, we will definitely be able to settle these old and weak women and children, ensure that there will be no chaos in the base area, and no one will starve to death and freeze to death." ”
