Gao Yuan was stunned:

"Out of money? Are you gaha? Didn't you secretly go to Luanping County to find girls? ”

Tian Liuwa was choked by his anger, and stood up with a "swish", her eyes wide.

Gao Yuan hurriedly pressed his shoulder to let him sit back, and said with a smile:

"Just kidding, just kidding, you said you followed the battalion commander the longest, why don't you look like him at all? The personality is too old-fashioned. ”

As he spoke, Gao Yuan sat down next to Tian Liuwa, took out a pipe made of tree roots from his pocket, filled himself with a bag of cigarettes, and took a few puffs.

This pipe was bought at the city market when they first arrived in Luanping.

Luanping is a small place, there are not many people who can afford to smoke cigarettes, and there are few people who sell them, so in order to save trouble, Gao Yuan bought a pipe and a large pack of dry tobacco, saying that he could smoke for a few months.

But Tian Liuwa knew that he was just trying to save some money.

When they came, there were eleven of them, and they couldn't bring food at all, so they had to buy it.

The little devils are very strict about the control of food, especially for their faces, and the only way to buy food is to pay a high price.

Even by bribing the traitors who worked for the Japanese, they could buy a small amount of food.

Now more than 30 recruits have been recruited, plus 11 of them, nearly 50 mouths to eat, these people are all about 20 years old, and they need at least 40 catties of food every day to barely feed these people.

If this continues, let alone recruit 500 people, I am afraid that if we can't recruit 300 people, we will run out of food.

There was food in Chengde, but they didn't dare to get it.

One is that when the strength was not enough, he only brought ten rifles, and the recruits recruited did not have guns.

The second is that Zhang Haipeng is in Chengde, and going there to get food is equivalent to going to death.

Although Gao Yuan was joking with Tian Liuwa, he actually seemed to be a mirror in his heart, but he just didn't want Tian Liuwa to be too angry.

After a while, Tian Liuwa sighed again and said to Gao Yuan in a low voice:

"At that time, I chose to come to Chengde, mainly because the population here is relatively dense, and there are more young people of appropriate age, in my opinion, we might as well be like this, quickly recruit soldiers in a short period of time, and then immediately take them back to Chifeng, and after taking the money, I will continue to recruit troops everywhere, and you are responsible for finding a place for centralized training."

Gao Yuan thought for a while and nodded lightly:

"That's the only way, I'm just worried that the battalion commander won't have much money in his hands......"

The two glanced at each other, and both saw the depression in each other's eyes.

When Liu Cheng assigned them the task at that time, they didn't think of this.

But Liu Cheng only has so much money in his hand, and he can't take it out if he asks him to take more.

Gao Yuan and Tian Liuwa's plan is very good, and I feel that it is not too difficult to recruit soldiers, and now I see that this year's grain is about to be harvested, and it will not be as difficult as winter.

But that's not the case.

There are a lot of crops seen on the way from Chifeng to Chengde, but half of them are planted with millet.

Although it is not as rampant as Cai Zhong, at least one-third of a crop is planted with millet, and the grain output will naturally be reduced by one-third.

At first, they saw that a piece of corn field was about to be destroyed, but then it was too much to destroy.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Chengde for two months.

After Gao Yuan finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, he stood up and put away his pipe, and whispered:

"Alright, don't get angry, the battalion commander will understand our difficulties."

With that, he walked towards the recruits.

In contrast, the second company, which is responsible for protecting the ammunition base, is much easier.

In the first battle of Wudou Township, most of the casualties of the second company, Guan Hong has not been relieved, and his mood has always been a little depressed, except for personally taking people to the surrounding places to reconnoiter and patrol farther away, he is sitting alone in the corner in a daze.

Liu Cunshu learned the reason for Guan Hong's state from other fighters, and tried to persuade him several times, but it had no effect.

Now, in addition to producing several bullets of different specifications, Liu Cunshu and his men also have to manufacture grenades and artillery shells.

Making shells is not an easy task, especially after the shell is initially completed.

The position where the top of the cartridge case of a 75-mm shell connects with the warhead is the standard 75-mm shell, and it must be exactly the same.

The average adult's hand can't get through that hole to polish the inside of the shell.

In the past, when the Mukden Arsenal was manufacturing shells, it also hired a group of children to polish the inside of the shells.

The child's hands are small and can reach in, so they can polish more delicately and smoothly.

If you use tools, first, it is easy to damage the edge of the bullet case,
