Chapter 148: The Great War is imminent, and the cattle and sheep sacrifice army

Lin'an County. East of Shuihe Village. The land on the edge of the village.

Han Dagang frowned, lowered his head, and smoked a cigarette with a sad face.

Yu Genshan took the topographic map that Han Dagang brought back, looked left and right, and asked puzzledly:

"Huh? Han, that's not right. Now the corn or sorghum in the field should be waist-high, and it can be completely concealed to ambush the troops. ”

"It should be, but it's not like that now. The fields are bare, and there is not a single corn or sorghum, so how can they hide and ambush the troops? ”

"Alas! How so? It shouldn't be. Why don't the nearby villagers grow corn and sorghum? ”

"Commander, I guess that's probably the case. According to the practice of farming, summer harvest and summer planting, after the winter wheat is harvested, another crop of corn or sorghum should be planted immediately. However, the devil's May Day sweep lasted for two months, and all the villagers fled to avoid the disaster. After the sweep was over, the small force of the devils took turns to search and suppress, and the villagers who came back were so frightened that they did not dare to leave their homes again. I have carefully observed that the wheat harvested should be cut close to the ground, and the wheat stubble in the field should be cut together, but I saw that the wheat stubble left in the field was high and low, uneven. This shows that the villagers do not harvest during the day, but secretly at night. In addition, because some time ago, there were constant wars everywhere, and the villagers did not buy and prepare corn and sorghum seeds in time before the wheat harvest, which delayed the agricultural time. ”

"Hmm. Xiao Han, you estimated accurately, I think that's what happened. Since this is already the case, then we can't help but be ready for battle? Xiao Han, this is your hometown, you should always have some way, right? ”

"Humph! This Nakagawa Eiichi is really good at choosing a place, and he is ruthless enough. ”

"Don't say it's useless. Tell me what you can do. ”

"Commander, I—I haven't figured it out yet."

"No way? So how do we deal with it? Are you just waiting for the devils to destroy us? Xiao Han, my deputy head of Han, time waits for no one, and military intelligence waits for no one. You're going to have to figure it out. ”

Suddenly, Han Dagang's nervous and anxious expression suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile:

"Commander, don't worry, there will be a way when my master brother Fang Jiren comes."

"Hey? Why did you mention Francis again? Don't talk nonsense. If you look at the topographic map that you brought back from your own reconnaissance, there is a bare field of crops, that is, Francis has returned, what can he do to hide and ambush the troops? ”

"I think, I estimate, maybe, maybe, probably, almost, that Francis will have good tactics and good methods to defeat the enemy."

"Huh? Look at what you are talking about, you don't have any confidence at all. Deputy Head Han, I tell you solemnly and solemnly, we can't just point at Fang Jiren. Of course it's good if he comes back, but what if he doesn't? ”

"This? This ......"

"Captain!" The correspondent trotted all the way to Yu Genshan, stood up and saluted:

"Report to the head of the regiment, the political commissar asked you and Deputy Commander Han to go back to the regiment headquarters immediately."

"Huh? Is there any emergency military situation? ”

"Nope. Regiment commander, two fellows drove two cows and twelve fat goats to the regiment headquarters, saying that they were to supplement the soldiers of the regiment to increase nutrition, restore physical strength, improve combat effectiveness, and kill a lot of devils. ”

"Well, that's a good point. Which village are these two fellows from? Who sent them? ”

"They said that it was with great difficulty that several villages had come up with great difficulty, and that the leaders of the county party committee had sent them to send it."

"Oh. You go back and tell the political commissar that Deputy Head Han and I will go back immediately. ”

"Yes." The correspondent saluted and turned around, and walked briskly towards the west village.

Hee-hee-hee-hee. Han Dagang laughed easily and proudly.

Yu Genshan looked at Han Dagang, who was smiling for no reason, and asked puzzledly:

"Xiao Han, what are you laughing at yourself? Gluttony, right? ”

Han Dagang put away his smile, looked at Yu Genshan and said solemnly:

"Commander, what did I say just now? Franciscan is back. ”

"Hey? Xiao Han, why are you talking nonsense with me again? Is Francis back? Where are the others? ”

"Didn't the correspondent just say it all?"

"That's right. There were two cows and twelve fat goats. What does this have to do with Francis? ”

"Commander, this is sent by Francis."

"Huh? You just talk nonsense. Didn't you hear that just now? It was made up by several villages, and it was sent by the leaders of the county party committee. ”

"Commander, why do you believe such words? That's. ”

"Huh? What's going on? Deputy Head Han, what do you think, what do you think, maybe, maybe, probably, almost what's going on? ”

"Commander, listen to me give you an analysis. In the Hebei Plain, there are few or no farmers raising cows and goats, and almost every household raises pigs and chickens in their own yards. Only people in the mountains have the conditions to raise cows and goats. You may not know how much it costs to raise a cow in a year, and the average farmer can't afford it. Cows and goats graze on the uphill ground, have you ever seen a cow grazing sheep in the plains? How many crops would have to be destroyed? ”

"Hmm. Xiao Han, you have a point. Go on. ”

"Commander, why did you send two cows and twelve goats? Why one more or one less? Have you thought about it? ”

"I haven't had time to think about it? What do I want to do with this? ”

"Comrade Yu Genshan, I don't want to. It's a lot of ingenuity......"

"Alright, alright. Don't beat around the bush with me, Han, just tell me what the hell is going on. ”

"We have four battalions of supplementary regiments, twelve sheep and exactly three in one battalion, and two cows are milked for the wounded, sick and weak cadres and soldiers. Regiment commander, think about it, who would have calculated so accurately if he did not know the details of the supplementary regiment? In the current brutal war environment, who will have such ability and generosity? Two cows and twelve goats at once? This person is none other than my master brother Fang Jiren sent someone from Fang Zhenhai, the seventh uncle of the gourd valley in the mountains. ”

"That? Why did those two fellows say that they were made up by several villages? Did the county party leaders send them to send them? ”

"This is the ingenuity of my master, Brother Francis. He did this to protect the big family of the Fang family in the county town and Fang Zhenhai of the Hulu Valley. Because we haven't dug up the moles lurking in the replenishment group. ”

"Clever. This Francis is really not simple. ”

"Commander, just wait and see. In the future, there will be people who will send cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens to our supplementary regiment, and the rhetoric of the people will be the same as this time. ”

"Oh? That's great. Xiao Han, go back, the political commissar is still waiting for us. ”

"Commander, I solemnly tell you, don't tell anyone that it was sent by Francis, it must be kept absolutely confidential!"

"Yes! I understand. Comrade Han Dagang, deputy head of the regiment, absolutely confidential! ”

Han Dagang's analysis was completely correct, the two cows and twelve goats were indeed Fang Jiren who ordered someone to secretly enter the mountain with his handwritten letter some time ago, begging his seventh uncle Fang Zhenhai to send someone to the supplementary group.

Lin'an County. Fang's compound. The living room of the main house in the west courtyard.

Fang Daxian frowned and sat on the sofa sulking.

The housekeeper Delu walked into the living room quickly, walked in front of Fang Daxian, lowered his hand and asked solemnly:

"Master, what's the urgency? Call me over in such a hurry? ”

"You go ahead and put explosives in the tunnels of the front yard, the middle yard and the east yard......"

"Huh?! Sir, you? What are you doing here?! Delu was shocked and shocked.
