Chapter 62: Pushing the Boat with the Tide (I)

As soon as the morning star flashed its first light in the sky, the gate of the He family's big set suddenly opened, and a long cart full of food bags came out of the gate and drove straight to the direction of Qingle County along the road.

All dressed in the clothes of the gunmen of the He family's nursing courtyard, with a Jinzao 38-style rifle on their shoulders, Mo Tianliu and Li Ziqun walked side by side beside the cart full of grain bags, their eyes staring at the morning star that gradually began to shine in the sky, and almost at the same time a sentence popped out of their mouths: "It's almost time to get to the next day, and you can get to Qingle County!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Chestnut Qun and Mo Tianliu glanced at each other, and they all chuckled......

This year, the weather was not right, the rain was scarce, and the wheat in the fields was ripening many days late. There are many wheat stalks that look like long ears of wheat are hanging on them, but they are all empty shells when you can pinch them with your hands, and they can only be ground to make wheat bran noodles to barely satisfy your hunger.

Perhaps the devils also know that this year's crop harvest is too poor, and the wheat in many villages is still drying on the wheat floor, and the devils who went to the countryside to grab grain have already poured out of the county town and various artillery towers with the second devils, and pounced like locusts on those farmers who had worked hard for a year and finally saw a little harvest

Caught off guard, the vast majority of villages in Qingle County were looted by the devils and the second devils. The wheat that was dried on the wheat floor was naturally looted by the devils, and even the wheat bran that could only be used to grind wheat bran noodles was also robbed by the devils, and it was said that it could be used as fodder for military horses. According to the villagers who fled to Hejia Daji with the only food, after the looting of the devils, there must be seventy percent of the villagers in Qingle County who want to go out to ask for food to survive!

There is no need to investigate carefully, almost none of the villagers who fled to Hejia Daji said that after the devils robbed the grain, except for some left in the turrets everywhere, most of the stolen grain was sent to the grain depot of the devils in Qingle County. I heard those soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who grabbed the grain say that after the grain in the villages in the entire Qingle County has been looted, the grain collected in the Guizi's granary will be sent to Baoding by the small railway that the Guizi has just built.

After roughly understanding the various information about the devils going to the countryside to grab grain, Li Jiashun did not hesitate at all, and immediately set the task of snatching back the grain from the devils. But how to snatch back the food from the devils, everyone at the venue had their own opinions. After synthesizing all the opinions and suggestions, there are only two options left in front of everyone - while most of the devil's troops are still scattered in the countryside to grab grain, send a large force to seize the devil's grain depot, or intercept the devil halfway after loading the grain onto the train.

And these two methods of warfare also have their pros and cons......

Taking advantage of the lack of the devil's troops, he sent a large army to seize the devil's grain depot, and the certainty of victory was at least seventy percent. But after seizing the devil's grain depot, how to transport all the grain away is a big problem. As soon as the battle began, the troops of the devils scattered in the countryside would quickly return, blocking the way for the withdrawal of the large forces from all directions. Even if the large army can find a safe way to evacuate, everyone can carry dozens of catties of grain, and the small half of the grain depot can be emptied when the sky is over, and the remaining grain still has to go to the devils, and the food obtained is not enough to relieve the looted villagers.

And it's not easy to intercept the devil's train!

Since the devils laid a large number of small railways in the southern Hebei region, there has always been at least one platoon of devils on the devil train running on the small railway, and sometimes there are even ironclad cars in front and behind the train to open the road and press the formation. Even if the devil's small wagon is stopped by destroying the railroad tracks, it may not be easy to capture the devil's grain train without heavy fire support.

If the battle is too long, then the devils who come to reinforce along the small railway are even more likely to bite the troops, and when the time comes, not only will they not be able to recover the food taken away by the devils, but I am afraid that even the large army will suffer great losses......

All of a sudden, the cadres of the Eighth Route Army who attended the meeting insisted on their own words and argued with each other. A few short-tempered cadres of the Eighth Route Army spoke up, slapping tables, slapping chairs, and other actions also came out, and their voices were higher than the other.

Seeing that everyone in the venue was arguing into a pot of porridge, Mo Tianliu, who was sitting on the side, rolled his eyes silently, and only waited until the cadres of the Eighth Route Army present were all tired of arguing and drinking water with tea bowls, and then he lay down and muttered in the ears of the chestnut group. After only three or five sentences, although the chestnut group was still silent, a pair of eyes became brighter and brighter. After Mo Tianliu finished speaking, the chestnut group smiled even more, stood up and walked to the door of the house and closed the door, then turned around and discussed with everyone the idea that Mo Tianliu had set ......

Stretching out his hand and patting the bulging food pockets on the cart, and then looking at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who followed the cart on both sides and wore the clothes of the gunmen in the He family's courtyard, the chestnut group whispered very generously: "Tianliu, this time our Southern Hebei Military Division can be regarded as a bloody investment!" Except for the wounded, who were sent to Tujia Village by members of the martial arts team who were familiar with the local situation, the rest of the people all participated in this operation! Cucumbers hit gongs and hammer auctions, this is what we heard! ”

As if hearing the meaning of the chestnut group's words, Mo Tianliu responded with a low smile as he walked: "Big boss, the idea I figured out will definitely come true, and our first cannon will definitely be fired, so you can put your heart in your stomach!" It's the one we keep in our food pockets...... Is it insured? ”

Nodding firmly, the chestnut group nodded to a soldier of the Eighth Route Army who was walking next to the cart in front: "Comrade Wei Zhengguang is a native of Liuyang, Hunan, that place has been the hometown of fireworks since ancient times, and making gunpowder and firecrackers is a craft that his family has passed down for several lifetimes, and there has never been a leak, so you can rest assured!" ”

Looking at Wei Zhengguang, who was walking in the team with his waist bent, Mo Tianliu replied casually: "If there is a big boss, the packing ticket will be completed, then I will go to the front?" On the big cart at the head, the mallet is still looking at the rich man, I'm afraid that the mallet is too real, or should I go and look at the rich man? And also...... Big boss, will you give me a grenade? ”

Reaching out and taking off a Japanese-made grenade from behind his waist, the chestnut group handed the grenade towards Mo Tianliu, and asked in a surprised low voice: "Tianliu, what do you want this for?" This is a big spot on your body, and you remember to cover it with your clothes......"

Waving his hand towards the chestnut group, Mo Tianliu stretched out his hand and pointed to another grenade covered by his clothes behind the chestnut group's waist: "The trick to be played this time is not easy to use Japanese-made grenades." Big boss, you give me a grenade. ”

Looking at Mo Tianliu's somewhat sly smile, the chestnut group didn't ask, but just reached out and took out a Jinzao grenade and handed it to Mo Tianliu, but he told with concern: "This Jinzao grenade is a little unstable, you pull the fire and throw it quickly, but don't blow it up in your hand!" ”

With a promise, Mo Tianliu grabbed the Jinzao grenade that the chestnut group handed over to him, and easily pulled out a piece of hemp rope from the rope bundle that was prepared to bind the grain bags on the cart, and chased towards the cart that was walking in front.

As if hearing Mo Tianliu's footsteps, Sha Bangcui, who was sitting on the top of the grain bag on the cart and staring at the rich man beside him with wide eyes, stretched out his hand slightly, and easily dragged Mo Tianliu, who had stretched out his slap towards him, to the cart.

Crawling from the grain bag to the rich man with his hands and feet, Mo Tianliu looked at the rich man He who was caught between himself and Sha Bangcui with a smile, and said with a little treacherous chuckle: "Master He, it's hard for you to crawl out of the bed early in the morning?" ”

With a gray face and a robe wrapped in a long robe, the rich man He drooped his head listlessly, as if he hadn't heard Mo Tianliu speak, but his hands kept trembling slightly.

Looking up and down at the depressed appearance of the rich man, Mo Tianliu didn't care that the rich man didn't answer his words, but took care of himself and said: "This autumn tiger is powerful, and the hearts of the hot people are a little hot...... I said mallet, in such a hot weather, you just watched Master He suffer this living sin? You don't know how to greet Master He's wide clothes? ”

Without waiting for Sha Bangcui to come back to his senses, Mo Tianliu had already reached out and pulled the clothes on the rich man's body, and shouted indiscriminately: "You are still dressed so properly in this hot weather, Master He, you are a rich man, you are particular about ......."

In the midst of the random pulling, Mo Tianliu quickly tied the Jinzao grenade that he had just taken from the chestnut group to the waist of the rich man, and then threaded the hemp rope tied to the grenade ring from the sleeve of the long shirt worn by the rich man, and then lightly buttoned the robe on the robe on the frightened rich man.

Wrapping the hemp rope connected to the fire ring around his wrist twice, Mo Tianliu raised his arm with a smile and put it on the shoulder of the rich man: "Master He, you know what you have on your waist, right?" ”

With a pale face, the rich man nodded tremblingly: "I...... I know, grenades! ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Mo Tianliu stretched out his other slap and slapped it on the waist of the rich man: "Master He, this grenade was given to me by our big boss, and he specially instructed me, saying that this Jin-made grenade is unstable, and if it is fired, it must be thrown quickly, otherwise it will ...... Maybe it's going to blow up in your own hands! Master He, have you ever seen someone who has been blown up by a grenade? ”

Seeing that the rich man He shook his head playfully, Mo Tianliu had a smile on his face, but the slap slapped on the rich man's waist again: "You haven't seen it, but I have seen it!" Let me tell you, Master He, this is called a grenade bomb, if you are far away, you will be called shrapnel to poke out a few big holes in your body, and after a meal, the blood will dry up before you can die! But if you ask a grenade to blow up close to your body...... Ah...... The heart, liver and stomach are flying all over the sky, but people can't die for a while, so they have to roll around on the ground in pain, scratching indiscriminately, and sometimes they can dig out two holes on the ground with one hand...... Master He? Master He?! ”

He supported the rich man who was falling towards the cart, Sha Bangcui only saw the appearance of the rich man with rolling eyes and foaming at the mouth, and immediately shouted in a muffled voice: "Tianliu, what are you doing here?" You have scared all the rich people over......"

Stretching out his hand and pinching it fiercely towards the rich man of He Cai, Mo Tianliu looked at the rich man who was waking up with a cold breath, and squeezed his eyes at Sha Bangcui with a smile: "What are you doing?" You'll find out in a moment......"
