In 1940, China's all-out war of resistance against Japanese aggression had entered its third year, and the hardships and hardships of a poor and weak agricultural country against a new capitalist country were naturally indescribable; the money, food, and materials had long been exhausted, and the casualties of the army and civilians were increasing day by day, and they had almost reached the point of running out of oil.

However, countless soldiers are still fighting on the front line, and countless people have tightened their belts to continue to support the war of resistance, and the indomitable character of the Chinese nation has been vividly displayed at this critical juncture of national survival.

If anyone is still skeptical, then look at the European battlefield at this time.

Almost at the same time that the Japanese invaders launched the Battle of Zaoyi, the German invaders set foot on French territory, and the war lasted from May 10 to June 22, and France, once known as the "first army power" in Europe, actually announced its surrender!

Is there a shortage of money and food?

Is the weapon not sophisticated enough?

Or is the national strength not strong?

Of course, the length of other countries should not be judged, but the subsequent events are closely related to the fate of China's great cause of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!

In July, shortly after the surrender of France, Britain was forced by the erosion of the European situation and could not take care of its colonies in the East, so it signed a secret agreement with the Japanese and unilaterally blocked the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which was undoubtedly a stab in the back to China.

In August 37, the chairman of the NPC National Committee convened a national defense conference in Nanjing, where important military and political officials from various localities gathered to study the issue of strategy and military deployment. It was mentioned at the meeting that the Japanese invaders might cut off China's international communication lines, and the international transportation of Hong Kong and Vietnam would inevitably be affected; for this reason, the "Plan for the Construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the Yunnan-Burma Railway" was formulated, and the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway was officially started in early 38 years, and nearly 200,000 people were mobilized to devote themselves to the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which was completed and put into use in August 38, and the war materials aided by overseas Chinese and Britain and the United States arrived on the Chinese battlefield one by one.

Since then, the Yunnan-Burma Highway has become the main artery of China's War of Resistance, but it does not want to be unilaterally blocked by the British at this critical moment...... The impact is not hard to foresee.

At the beginning of August, the corn harvest in Zhongtiao Mountain had already been harvested, and the soldiers of the 66th Regiment smiled when they looked at the corn kernels piled up like a hill on the drying field.

The golden corn wafted with the smell of harvest, and the fragrance intoxicated the hearts of the soldiers.

The harvest is good, and I can eat a few meals with my belly open, and when I am full, I have the strength to fight the little devils!

Since the Battle of Wangyuan, the little devils in Yuncheng have been like turtles retracted into their shells, and they will not come out no matter how the anti-Japanese team attacks...... The shell of the little devil is too hard, although the soldiers of the 66th Regiment have repeatedly attacked, but they have achieved little success, but have added a lot of casualties, but if they don't fight, they can't do it, the soldiers firmly believe that no matter how hard the shell is, there will be a day when it will be bitten!

Li Siwei naturally firmly believes in this!

The sky was getting dark, Li Siwei left the drying field in a sweatshirt, and walked straight to the regiment headquarters, with a smile on his face, his steps were brisk, the little devil stopped, the corn harvest was abundant, and the two babies could call their fathers...... It's been going well lately!

"Regiment Commander," Li Siwei just walked to the gate of the regiment headquarters, Lu Tiesheng hurriedly came out of the courtyard, and when he saw Li Siwei, he quickly stopped, "Battalion Commander Liao is back......"

"Turtle's," Li Siwei was stunned and scolded with a smile, "Tie Sheng, why can't you change your mouth!" ”

With that, Li Siwei hurriedly entered the courtyard gate.

"Regiment leader," Lu Tiesheng hurriedly chased after him, with a look of hesitation on his face, and lowered his voice, "Liao ...... I'm afraid there's something going on...... the regiment commander."

"What's the matter?" Li Siwei's steps froze, and he looked back at Lu Tiesheng with a puzzled face.

"He didn't say it," Lu Tiesheng hurriedly shook his head, "However, his face is not very good." ”

"What can there be?" Li Siwei smiled, turned his head and went to the conference room, "There is no big battle, and there is no shortage of food......

As he spoke, Li Siwei strode into the conference room.

The conference room was already lit up with dim lights, Liao Heiniu sat at the conference table and swallowed the clouds, whispering a few words to Zheng Sanyang from time to time, both of them looked lonely and shook their heads.

"What's wrong?" Li Siwei strode straight to the table and looked at the two of them suspiciously, "What's wrong again?" ”

"Cannon," Liao Heiniu turned around and handed Li Siwei a cigarette, with a wry smile on his face, "Our group ...... Turtle's, if you want medicine or don't come down, more than a dozen brothers have died in the past few days! ”

"How so?" Li Siwei just took the cigarette, his hand shook and almost fell off, "Didn't your group also engage in a few little devil deals recently?" ”

The little devil became a shrinking turtle, but the supplies still had to be transported, and if the supplies of the little devils could be obtained, there would naturally be no shortage of medicines.

"It's used up," Liao Heiniu shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, "The casualties are not small in every battle, where is that little medicine enough?" ”

Saying that, Liao Heiniu sighed, "According to Lao Tzu, if you run out, you will run out, it's a big deal to find it, how do you know...... There is no medicine on it, and the military department has not even come down! ”

"Turtle's," Li Siwei was taken aback, "even the military department can't get medicine?" ”

"It's just a little medicine every time it's replenished," Liao Heiniu shook his head in annoyance, "Lao Tzu is late!" ”

Difficulty in supply, this is the problem of almost all the anti-Japanese war troops, among which the Zhongtiao Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River is the most, and several ferries have to supply nearly 200,000 troops, and the hardships can be imagined.

"Snort......", Li Siwei lit a match, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs hard, "We still have some medicines left......

"Great," before Li Siwei's words fell, Liao Heiniu's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly, "Lao Tzu knows that you will definitely not watch your brothers wait for death!" ”

"Turtle's," Li Siwei glared at Liao Heiniu, and scolded with a smile, "Don't be happy first, the medicine can support you some, but you don't get much ......."

"If you have it, it's done," Liao Heiniu nodded hurriedly, "Let's go, Lao Tzu will go get it now...... The brothers are still waiting for this medicine to save their lives! ”

"Okay," Li Siwei hurriedly got up, "Help is important." ”

The medicine is in the medical platoon, managed by Ning Rou, Li Siwei doesn't go, Liao Heiniu really can't take it, after all, it's a life-saving thing!

In the medical platoon compound, Ning Rou listened to Li Siwei's words, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the room where the medicine was stored, a little helpless, "The division headquarters hasn't sent medicine for more than half a month...... Four-dimensional, you have to ask. ”

"Okay," Li Siwei hurriedly smiled, "Let's divide some out for the Black Bull emergency first, and I'll go to the division headquarters tomorrow to ask." ”

Liao Heiniu shook his head behind him and smiled bitterly, "If there is still medicine on it, can we watch our brothers die?" ”

"Is it really that bad?" Ning Rou looked back at Liao Heiniu with a face full of surprise.

The situation of the 66th Regiment is fine!

Although some soldiers were killed, most of the wounded and sick who were treated survived.

"Miserable!" Liao Heiniu sighed heavily and remained silent.

Liao Heiniu left in a hurry with the medicine, but left a thick haze in Li Siwei's heart...... Why can't you get medicine?

Early the next morning, Li Siwei hurried to the division headquarters and went straight to the logistics office to find Director Yang.

The two sides were polite and sat down, and Li Siwei went straight to the point and expressed his intentions, "Brother Yang, our regiment has not been supplied with medicine for more than half a month......

"Four-dimensional!" At the mention of medicine, Director Yang's smile was much more reluctant, "Brother Wei, I've heard that your group has been looking for little devils to fight the autumn breeze recently...... It's not bad for me, is it? ”

"Brother Yang," Li Siwei hurriedly shook his head and spit out bitter water, "You also know that the brothers go to the little devil to fight the autumn breeze is like a tiger's mouth snatching food from the fire, and finally getting some medicine back is not enough for the wounded to use......"

"Siwei," Director Yang hurriedly interrupted Li Siwei and smiled bitterly, "Brother Wei understands your suffering, but ...... If you don't send medicine from above, you can't change it for your brother! ”

"But," Li Siwei's expression was solemn, and he was still about to argue, but he saw Director Yang's face change greatly when he looked at the door, and quickly turned his head to look, but saw Head Gao walking in with a calm face, staring directly at Director Yang, "Old Yang, there should be no problem today, right?" ”

"Head Gao," Director Yang hurriedly got up and greeted him with a smile on his face, "I have stepped up my urging ......"

"Don't say those are useless!" Hearing this, Head Gao was furious, "Lao Tzu doesn't care about that, if you can't get the medicine today, Lao Tzu will ...... Just ......"

"Brother Gao," Director Yang hurriedly handed over a cigarette with a wry smile on his face, "You just slashed your brother, and your brother can't turn medicine into medicine!" ”

Head Gao glared at Director Yang fiercely, without speaking or taking a cigarette, but his eyes slowly turned red.

Director Yang was startled, and Li Siwei also hurriedly got up, "Brother Gao, what are you...... What's wrong? ”

"Brother Li," Regiment Commander Gao glanced at Li Siwei and opened his mouth with difficulty, "The night before yesterday, our regiment fought a battle with the supply troops of the little devils...... Didn't take advantage of it...... I injured more than a dozen brothers, but I came back and got medicine to cure my injuries......"

As he spoke, Regiment Leader Gao's anger gradually rose again, and he glared at Director Yang fiercely, "Our regiment has been replenished with medicine for more than half a month......

"Brother Gao," Director Yang hurriedly shouted, "You still can't believe the little brother's character?" But if there is still a way, can the younger brother watch his brothers die? ”

As he spoke, Director Yang's eyes were also red, and his voice trembled, "Head Sun, they also come to urge every day...... However, if the other side doesn't send medicine, it's useless for you to force your little brother to death! ”

Head Gao looked at Director Yang who was revealing his true feelings, his anger gradually dissipated, and finally he had to scold angrily, "Dog's day! ”

"Brother Yang," Li Siwei asked hesitantly, "Something must be wrong on the other side, right?" ”

Hearing this, Head Gao also stared at Director Yang tightly.

"I don't know!" Director Yang shook his head, frowned and groaned, "It stands to reason that this batch of supplies should have arrived three days ago......"

"Then ask quickly!" Head Gao glared and hurriedly urged, "Holy shit, brothers are still waiting for medicine to save their lives!" ”

"Uh......" Director Yang froze for a moment, and hurriedly smiled, "This is ...... ask, this is ."

However, Director Yang was only the head of the Logistics Department of the 177th Division, so how could he find out some news?

Director Yang hurriedly made a few phone calls, but he didn't hear anything, and the three of them looked at each other.

Li Siwei gritted his teeth, "Brother Gao, our group still has some medicine, you can take it to the emergency first!" ”

"This ......" Head Gao was stunned and gritted his teeth, "Siwei, I won't be polite to you, it's important to save your life!" ”

Li Siwei hurriedly returned to the regiment headquarters with Commander Gao, went straight to the medical platoon, and told Ning Rou about the situation, Ning Rou glared at him fiercely, but did not object.

At night, the cabin is warmly lit.

Li Siwei came back after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, but saw that the two girls who were teasing the doll closed their mouths in unison and didn't look at him, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.

"Hehe," Li Siwei gently closed the door, smiled and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "What's wrong?" Are the two little ones not well-behaved again? ”

"Better than you!" Wu Ruolan glared at Li Siwei, and then looked down at An An again.

Ning Rou glanced up at Li Siwei with a hesitant expression, "Siwei, I know that they are all in a hurry to use medicine, but ...... You gave away all the medicine at once, what should the brothers in the regiment do? Do you dare to guarantee that they won't get hurt or get sick? ”

"Rou'er," Li Siwei moved his buttocks, sat down beside Ning Rou, and gently hugged her fragrant shoulder, "I understand your worries, but they are waiting for medicine to save their lives!" We can't die without help, can we? ”

Saying that, Li Siwei smiled, "Besides, there is no supply of medicine now, maybe there will be another one in two days?" ”

"What if it's two days away?" Ning Rou frowned and said nothing, but Wu Ruolan raised her head and looked at Li Siwei, Xiumei frowned, worried, "If the time comes, the brothers are injured and sick, but they can't get medicine......"

"No," Li Siwei hurriedly shook his head, "Big deal...... Before the medicine arrived, I told my brothers to rest, anyway, the little devil was cowering in the stronghold and didn't dare to come out......"

"It's a shame," Wu Ruolan glanced at Li Siwei, "The morale of the brothers is high, how can you say that if you don't fight, you won't fight?" ”

"Uh......" Li Siwei was stunned.

"Siwei," Ning Rou put her backhand around Li Siwei's arm, "It's not like we're going to die and can't save us, but the brothers are following you with all their hearts, you have to think about them, right?" ”

"Well," Li Siwei nodded lightly, "I'll figure out a way to ...... tomorrow."

"What can you do?" Ning Rou glared at Li Siwei with a smile, "You're busy, let's go to the mountains tomorrow to see if we can find some herbs to hold first?" Let's hope the supplies above will come down sooner! ”

"Okay," Li Siwei's heart warmed, and he gently stroked Ning Rou's back.

I'm not afraid of difficulties, but I'm afraid that no one can be by my side when it's difficult!

It was the height of summer, and the mountains were full of grass and trees, so Ning Rou took the female soldiers of the medical platoon into the mountains every day, and really let them find some herbs to come back.

It's just that the efficacy of herbal medicine is not as good as Western medicine after all, and Li Siwei is still worried.

The medicine did not wait, but waited for the order of the division headquarters, and Li Siwei hurriedly ran to the division headquarters again.

In the conference room of the division headquarters, the regiment commanders gathered, and Division Commander Chen looked around at the generals with a solemn expression, "From now on, all departments should strictly guard the station, and they must not attack without authorization!" ”

Hearing this, the generals looked at each other.

"What's wrong?" Senior Chen's face sank, "Didn't you hear it?" ”

"Yes!" The generals hurriedly promised.

"Well," Senior Commander Chen nodded, his expression softened slightly, and he sighed softly, "Brothers, the situation is difficult!" Our ...... There is a great responsibility, but only to act with caution! ”

"Yes!" The generals nodded.

However, Master Chen never explained the reason.

There are some things that hurt the morale of the army in vain, so it's better not to say it!
