The village next to the county seat was the first to be burned down by the Jin Sui army.

In just one day, 10 villages were burned to the ground by the Jin Sui army, and nearly 4,000 people were left homeless.

Yesterday, the troops consumed a large number of Jinsui troops by showing weakness and luring the enemy deeply, and the good news came, and everyone in the command headquarters was very happy.

But the good mood lasted until this morning, which was interrupted by the bad news that the Jin Suijun had begun to burn the village.

Especially the battalion commander Huang Sheng, he was very anxious, he didn't expect Jin Suijun to be so ruthless.

In order to force out the common people, they even used all the tricks that the Japanese are used to.

"Regiment commander, must find a way to stop Jin Suijun from continuing to burn houses?" Huang Sheng said in a hurry.

"If you let the villagers know that Jin Suijun began to burn houses outside the mountain, they will definitely be anxious and want to go home to keep their home."

"As soon as the villagers are in chaos, there will be management loopholes in the local troops and guerrillas, and if any villagers take the opportunity to go out of the mountains and are caught by the Jin Sui army, they will definitely follow the vine and find the hiding place of the villagers, then our previous efforts will be in vain."

"What's the panic?" Li Hao reminded calmly.

"Jin Suijun risked being poked in the backbone by the villagers and burned the house, which shows that they are starting to be anxious, and once people are in a hurry, they can do anything crazy."

"Let the troops tell the villagers hiding in the mountains that our Eighth Route Army is responsible for compensating for all the houses burned down by the Jin Sui Army. When Jin Suijun is gone, everyone is safe, what is the original situation, and what is guaranteed to restore it to everyone, it will definitely not make everyone suffer. ”

Huang Sheng was taken aback by Li Hao's generosity, and hurriedly reminded: "Commander, don't be impulsive. ”

"In the past, when the Japanese burned houses, we asked the villagers to help each other, and then mobilized local troops and captured puppet soldiers to produce bricks, and then built the burned houses, and the base only needed to take some money to buy raw materials."

"I think it should be done this time."

"We moved the people to the mountains to protect them, and now that the houses have been burned, it stands to reason that everyone should bear the losses together, not if we lose under the Eighth Route Army."

Li Hao shook his head and replied, "This time is different. ”

"In the past, when dealing with little devils, it was a national war of resistance, and everyone who had money contributed and made a strong contribution."

"Now we are grabbing land between us and the Jin Suijun, it does not involve fighting devils, and the safety of the people will definitely not be affected, so they are innocent, and the burning of the house is completely unjustified, and we can't let the villagers suffer if it is reasonable."

"That's true." Huang Sheng was persuaded by Li Hao.

But when he thought of the huge price that the base area would have to bear, the melancholy between his eyebrows was obviously stronger than just now, and he continued to remind.

"Regiment Commander, if the base area is asked to compensate the villagers in full for their losses, can we take so much money out?"

"If a household compensates 20 oceans, we will compensate the villagers 20,000 oceans a day today."

"If Jin Suijun continues to burn the house tomorrow, 100,000 oceans may not be enough to compensate, can we come up with so much money?"

Li Hao replied confidently: "Don't worry, the regiment headquarters doesn't need to take a piece of the ocean." ”

"There is a saying that the wool comes out of the sheep, and when the time comes, I will definitely make Jin Suijun regret the decision to burn the house today."

"Let the troops count the losses of the villagers, and promise the villagers that all the losses will be compensated by our Eighth Route Army, and we must not let everyone leave the mountains without authorization."

"Send a telegram to Xiao Yuan: Under the condition of not dying and not fighting head-on with the Jin Sui army, organize the Jin Sui army to send grain to Hunyuan City for the second time at all costs."

"As long as the Jin Sui army in the city is completely out of food, they will be finished, and their previous efforts will be in vain."

Three days passed in a flash, and the three-way attack troops of the Jin Sui Army burned a total of 26 large and small villages, but the people hiding in the mountains seemed to have not seen it, and there was no movement.

The division commander began to get anxious.

The first food sent by the chief of staff was already running out.

Two days ago, he had the idea of halving the troops' rations, so that the limited food could be eaten for two more days.

But before this order could reach the troops, it was opposed by all battalion and company commanders.

If the troops stay in the city and do not go out, there is no task, and the rations are halved to last a while.

But now everyone has to go out of the city every day to burn the village, walk dozens of kilometers back and forth on mountain roads, and always be vigilant.

As soon as the morning dawned, the division commander stood at the gate of the city and looked into the distance, expecting the chief of staff to arrive quickly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the division commander was already a little hungry, someone finally appeared at the end of the official road.

"It's the troops, the chief of staff is here!" The deputy division commander shouted expectantly.

Looking at it, the expectant expression on his face was replaced by doubt, and he frowned and muttered to himself.

"Why are there so many stretchers in the middle of the line?"

The division commander also had a trace of questions and worries between his eyebrows, which was also a question he couldn't figure out.

The team got closer and closer, and there was no end in sight, and after looking for a long time, the division commander did not find the soldiers carrying food, and the field of vision was full of stretcher teams in groups of two.

"What happened to the Chief of Staff? Why so many wounded? The deputy division commander once again asked the question in his heart.

The division commander's face had sunk, and although he hadn't seen the chief of staff yet, he had a feeling that the grain transportation this time must have been very unsmooth.

When they were about to see the tail of the team, everyone finally saw the soldiers carrying their rations.

Some carry it on their shoulders, others on a flat pole and a basket......

"Master, I didn't complete the task, please punish you!" The chief of staff ran all the way to the division commander and reported with his head down.

"Tell me, what happened to you on the road? Why are there so many wounded in the troops? The division commander asked with a calm face.

The chief of staff lowered his head and replied very aggrievedly: "Division, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. ”

"They are densely covered with mines in the mountain passes and checkpoints that we have to pass through, and they also say that they are laying out mines by the Japanese puppet army, but it will take time, forcing us to take mountain roads to bypass the minefields."

"The mountain roads were rough, there were traps everywhere, and we couldn't defend against them, and then there were so many wounded in the troops."

The division commander clenched his fists, and his anger surged upward, and he wanted to lash out at the chief of staff.

But in the end he endured. Because if he does it, he may not be able to do it so well.

Staring at the chief of staff, he continued to ask, "Then how much food did you send?" ”

The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "Originally, I could only send more than 6,000 catties, but by increasing the weight of the brothers, I sent a total of more than 9,000 catties." ”

"Too little!" The division commander was very disappointed: "This grain is not enough for us to eat for two days, how can we hold on until the third batch of grain is sent by the grain transportation team." ”

After saying that, the three of them fell silent.

This is a really big problem, without food, the troops will go hungry.

If the troops were really left without food for two days and two nights, the troops would definitely collapse, and they would not be able to suppress it by themselves.
