It's not that you haven't thought of this question raised by the division commander, but you don't dare to raise it here, otherwise everyone's morale would not be so low.

Now that the division commander has said it, he is not hiding it.

The only regiment commander was the first to speak: "Division, the chief of staff no longer has mules and horses in his hands, and there are fewer and fewer troops that can be used, I estimate that it would be good if they could send 15,000 catties of food for the second time, and there will be a large number of soldiers who will be injured by stepping on traps on the march." ”

"The most important thing we should do now is to ask for help from the war zone, ask the war zone to send heavy troops to reinforce us, and bring us food by the way."

"As long as the number of troops is sufficient, we can divide our troops to defend several official roads to prevent the Eighth Route Army from sabotaging them twice."

"If you go to the top, you will be able to deliver a steady stream of food to us."

"If the food problem is solved, the troops will be able to continue to divide their troops to expand the occupied areas and seize more base areas of the garrison regiments."

The division commander was silent for a moment and replied: "I have already tried, and on the night of the troops entering Hunyuan City, I sent a telegram to the war zone, requesting reinforcements. ”

"The call back to me was: There is not enough troops in the theater of operations, and there is no way to send troops to reinforce us, so let everyone figure out their own way."

"After my repeated requests, the war zone finally agreed to transfer 500,000 catties of grain and 300,000 rounds of various ammunition to replenish us."

"At present, this batch of ammunition supplies is still in the war zone, and when they are delivered to the front line, it will be at least ten days later."

"So don't count on the upper side."

"The three divisions stationed in Datong are already all the mobile units that can be deployed in the theater, and the other two divisions have their own tasks, so we can only rely on our own strength and the garrison regiment to gain a firm foothold here and control more plates."

The war zone is everyone's last hope, and if you can't even do it in the war zone, then there is really no way.

Many officers had desperate expressions on their faces.

Finally, he looked at the division commander and hoped that the division commander could lead everyone to survive in a desperate situation and solve the various difficulties that the troops are facing now.

The division commander had obviously made a lot of preparations for this military meeting, and answered in front of everyone's eyes.

"I'm the opposite of what you think right now."

"I think that the troops are not only not in a difficult situation now, but they have encountered an excellent fighter against defeat."

"The whole military operation so far, on the surface we have suffered heavy losses, but in fact our operational objectives have reached more than half of them, and in this respect, we have not only not lost, but have also won."

The deputy division commander comprehended the divine interface: "What the division said is right. ”

"The task given to us by Shangfeng is to seize Hunyuan City, and if possible, send troops to occupy Guangling and Lingqiu."

"Now that we occupy Hunyuan County, for Shangfeng, the task has been completed."

"The next thing we need to do is to completely control Huaiyuan under the command of the division, expel the troops deployed by the garrison regiment in Hunyuan, and solve the problem of our lack of food by the way."

"When the troops gain a firm foothold in Hunyuan, we can continue to make persistent efforts to continue to encroach on the other base areas of the garrison regiment and turn them all into our occupation areas."

The division commander stood up at the right time, took out a telegram and began to read it: "This is a telegram from the war zone commending us for successfully occupying Hunyuan County. ”

"A one-time reward of 100,000 oceans for our division, every officer and soldier below the division will have a point, and at least ten oceans will be shared."

"Didn't we lose twelve mountain guns on the way here, and the war zone promised to replenish our twelve mountain guns, equipment, ammunition, and the ocean that rewarded us, and they will be sent over together with the ammunition supplies that support us in the war zone."

"In addition, the commander-in-chief also sent me a secret telegram personally."

"I promised us that as long as the troops completely control Hunyuan, and then take half of the territory of Guangling and Lingqiu, the whole division will be promoted to a first-class military salary below me."

"If we can take down all the base areas of the garrison regiment, these counties will become the future stations of our division, and when the territory is larger, the expansion of the division into an army will become justified, and then all of us will be promoted, the battalion commander will become the regiment commander, and the regiment commander will be promoted to the division commander."

The benefits brought by the two telegrams to everyone are real and particularly shocking.

There is no soldier who does not want to be promoted, does not want to be promoted to the rank...... After listening to the teacher's introduction, the depressed atmosphere of the conference room was immediately swept away, and everyone became energetic.

looked at the division commander and asked, "Master, you give an order!" ”

"If you let us fight as much as we want, we will definitely be able to take down Hunyuan completely."

This is the result that the division commander wants, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face, and then he quickly regained his serious expression and looked at everyone's orders.

"I decided to take the initiative while we still had some food in our hands and find the source of food myself."

"Hunyuan City is so big, with a population of more than 150,000, and now there are nearly three months left in the autumn harvest, even if every ordinary person only keeps rations, it will be more than 10 million catties."

"Each ordinary person saves us ten catties of grain, which adds up to 1.5 million catties, enough for us to eat for three months and last until the autumn harvest."

The deputy division commander immediately asked: "But the grain has been hidden by the people, and the people have been transferred by the Eighth Route Army, and it is too difficult to find food." ”

The division commander replied with a sneer: "It's not difficult at all!" ”

"I think about it, the key to breaking the situation is in the people, as long as we find the people who are hiding, we can find food along the vine."

"There are the most villages around the county seat, and the population is the most dense, and there must be 30,000 or 40,000 people."

"I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army can watch so many people and keep them hiding in the mountains and not coming out."

"As long as we find one or two people, we can find more people."

"The common people want to eat, we have to serve the crops used to save their lives, as long as we promise them to pay ten catties of grain each, we will no longer levy taxes on them before the autumn harvest to ensure their safety, and the people will definitely be willing to cooperate with us."

"I have decided to start the operation tomorrow morning, and the troops will be divided into battalions to search the villages around the county town one by one in three ways."

"It's best to find food, and if you can't find food, find someone. As long as you find people, you will definitely find food. ”

"But one thing to keep in mind is that when you move, you can't divide all the troops."

"Judging from what we encountered before, the Eighth Route Army has the strength to eat one of our main companies without knowing it."

"So we can't knowingly commit a crime and go to death ourselves."

Five kilometers outside the city, Li Hao was in a very good mood at the Datong Independent Battalion Headquarters.

More than 3,000 Jin Suijun walked into the trap they had given them step by step and were trapped in Hunyuan City.

Although the Jin Suijun who transported grain to Hunyuan City sent more than 20,000 catties of grain, it was definitely a drop in the bucket and could not eat for a few days.

More importantly, in order to send these grains to Hunyuan, the Jin Sui army lost nearly 100,000 catties of grain, 200 mules and horses, and nearly 500 non-combat attrition during transportation.

The price paid is not ordinarily large.
