"There's still a way to go!" The middle-aged man hesitated for a long time and answered!

"Brother Quan, what way? As long as I can live, I will listen to you! A man asked with renewed hope on his face!

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and replied: "In addition to using food to motivate the common people to provide information about us, the Eighth Route Army also announced another policy, take the initiative to surrender!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, after we joined the maintenance meeting, although we have done a lot of bad things for the devils, we haven't killed anyone yet!"

"If we take the initiative to surrender to the Eighth Route Army, according to the policy they proposed, the worst outcome for us is to be reformed under their management for a few years, and then we can regain our freedom, and we will definitely not die!"

"If we can still make meritorious service after surrendering, and use the information we know to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to take down the captain's secret camp, the transformation time will be reduced, and it will be possible to come out in a few months!"

"!" The second dog who just spoke answered without thinking about it!

"Transformation is nothing more than doing things, although you will suffer a lot, but it is better than dying, and there is a chance to regain freedom!"

"Brother Quan, I agree to surrender to the Eighth Route Army, and then make meritorious service for my crimes!"

"In addition, in addition to the captain's secret camp in the forest, I also know that the neighboring village maintains the secret camp hidden in the mountains!"

"When the time comes, let's tell the Eighth Route Army together, and our transformation time will definitely be shortened!"

First cut off the enemy's retreat, push them into a corner, and then let go of an opening, so that they have a sense of desperate survival, and take the initiative to surrender in order to survive!

Many of those traitor spies are local snakes, gangsters, and they don't know what loyalty, courtesy, righteousness and shame are!

As long as they are given hope to live, they can kill anyone, let alone betray their master!

And their masters can't protect themselves now, and they can't control them at all!

In just five days, more than 100 traitors in the entire Laiyuan took the initiative to surrender!

With their help, the garrison regiment attacked everywhere and killed more than 200 people!

Coupled with the information provided by the common people, more than 100 people were killed, and the traitor spies lurking in Laiyuan were almost wiped out!

The scouts and agents sent by the Japanese army in the county were the worst!

Someone was reported by the local people before they could contact the target, and then they were killed by the garrison!

After someone contacted the hidden spies, before they had time to carry out the task, the spies who had just contacted sold them, killed them directly or captured them, and sent them to the garrison regiment to redeem their merits and reduce their punishment!

The headquarters of the Lingqiu Garrison Regiment, after helping the Ninth Company solve the threat of Laiyuan City, he came back!

The base area is getting bigger and bigger, and the stalls spread out by the troops are getting bigger and bigger, and as the regiment commander, he must sit in the command headquarters and command the overall situation, not stare at one of the battles!

"Regiment commander, political commissar, and battalion commander Huang sent an urgent telegram: After five days of operation, they eliminated a total of 658 captured traitor spies!"

"Although the traitors and maintenance associations in various villages have sent their looted finances and food to the county seat, they still hoard a lot of good things in their hiding places!"

"In a few days of operation, a total of 517 rifles of various kinds, 6 light machine guns, 98 pistols, nearly 50,000 rounds of various bullets, more than 500 grenades and grenades were seized!"

In addition, they also seized 860,000 catties of grain, 68,000 pieces of ocean, 38 small yellow croakers, and 8 catties of various gold and silver jewelry!

"Battalion Commander Huang asks for instructions: what to do with these captures and prisoners!"

Li Hao was frightened by this harvest!

I didn't expect that those traitors would have so much left after sending their wealth to the county seat!

But I quickly calmed down and figured out why!

looked at Wang Hong, and said thoughtfully: "Political commissar, this harvest really fulfills our old saying: cunning rabbit three holes!" ””

"Those traitors are too cunning, although they give their lives to the devils, they don't fully believe in the devils, as can be seen from the finances we seized!"

"They are also guarding against the little devils, worried that after they hand over all their lives to the devils, if the devils turn their faces and don't recognize people, they will be empty of bamboo baskets, and in the end, they will be empty, and they will get nothing!"

Therefore, when they sent their wealth to the county seat, they all kept an eye on it, and hid a part of it in the mountains outside the city and controlled it themselves! ”

"If one day in the future, devils turn their faces and don't recognize people, they also have the capital to turn over!"

"Not bad!"

Wang Hong happily agreed!

After a moment of conversation, he continued: "But. These traitors must not have expected that their cunning rabbit three holes were originally used for themselves to turn over in the future, but in the end, they all cheapened us! ”

"The little devils will definitely be angry with these traitors!"

"The reason why these traitors sent all their wealth into the county seat before retreating is to prevent us from seizing them, and then use these seizures to continue to grow and develop!"

"After all the calculations, I miscalculated in the end, and I was defeated by my own people!"

"However, for our garrison, this is too timely than capture!"

"Our old base in Lingqiu is no problem, last year's grain harvest was bumper, plus every household has reclaimed a lot of wasteland, our grain tax ratio is low, and every family has saved a lot of grain!"

"Not only can we survive until the autumn harvest, but the villagers who have family members to join our Eighth Route Army can even hoard a lot of food to deal with possible famine in the future!"

"But the three counties of Laiyuan, Guangling, and Hunyuan that have just been taken down will not work!"

"They have been exploited by the Japanese puppet army, and the grain tax is also high!"

"According to my investigation, nearly 20% of the people have begun to run out of food, and nearly 20% of the people are about to run out of food, and less than 30% of the people who have surplus grain at home can survive until the autumn harvest!"

"In the past, everyone relied on eating wild vegetables, eating tree roots and bark, and borrowing money to get by!"

"But even so, many people still starve to death every year"

"Now that the three counties have become our base, we definitely can't let this happen again!"

"Especially borrowing and starving!"

"Private loans are all usury, even if you survive until the autumn harvest through borrowing, the villagers will be burdened with debts!"

"The autumn harvest finally collected some grain, but the result was not enough to repay the loan!"

"In order to have food for the next year, they can only continue to borrow, and then there will be more and more borrowing, they can't pay it back, they have to sell land, and even sell their children and daughters, and finally the family will be ruined!"

"In order to prevent this from happening and ensure that no one starves to death in the base area, we must prepare enough food!"

"I was just thinking about where to get so much food! If we really can't do it, we can only use our strategic reserves temporarily! Now it seems that there is no need, one Laiyuan has seized so much grain, plus Guangling and Hunyuan counties, at least two million catties of grain can be seized! ”

"Although it can't completely solve the food gap, it will definitely greatly alleviate the pressure of food shortage in the three counties, and then solve the remaining food gap step by step!"

Li Hao replied resolutely: "The grain stored in the base area must not be moved!" ”

"Not only can't you move, but you have to find a way to increase it!"

"Especially after the expansion of the base area, we will have to reserve at least four times as much grain as we will harvest this autumn!"

"As for the problem of food shortage in the newly expanded base areas, the political commissar can rest assured, if it is not enough, I will find a way!"
