Zhang Ran's words were very tactful.

But Yang Ming and Lao Qin, as the person in charge of the three columns, obviously couldn't be a fool, so they heard what he meant for the first time.

Although they all led their teams to fight behind enemy lines, others won one battle after another, and the team was a well-known rich man in the surrounding area, while their own team was defeated one after another, and now they are almost unable to eat the bark of grass roots......

But Yang Ming and Lao Qin were only a little embarrassed, and then looked at Zhang Ran and the others depressed: "I said Captain Zhang, you brought the team to help, our three columns are grateful in our hearts, but you brought such twenty or thirty people over empty-handed, isn't it a bit too interesting?" ”

Hearing the complaints of the two, Zhang Ran and the others couldn't help but be happy, and said that they were afraid of hurting people's self-esteem, so they didn't mention the matter of support as soon as they came up......

People are good, they see that there is nothing here, and they complain directly!

"Laugh, laugh, who let your Jindong detachment be a rich man, and our three columns are mixed up in this one?"

Seeing the happy appearance of Zhang Ran and the others, Yang Ming, Lao Qin and the others didn't care, and shouted to ask them if they had food on them, and hurriedly gave some to a few of them, anyway, the people in their three columns were starving to death now, and they couldn't care about the shame at all......

"It's all my own comrades, there's nothing to be polite!"

Long Xin kicked Zhang Ran, who was rubbing his stomach with a smile, and then took out compressed biscuits from his backpack and handed them to Yang Ming, Lao Qin and the others, and said, "And they didn't mean to laugh at you - we are the vanguard troops, who came to explore the way, and the large army with food and supplies is hidden behind!" ”

"Really?"

Hearing this, each took a small piece of compressed biscuits and secretly broke off a piece of it and prepared to take it back to the camp in their arms to taste it for the comrades who did not come, Yang Ming, Lao Qin and others, were suddenly happy, and they didn't put it in their arms, and they were not satisfied after gnawing the biscuits in three or two bites, and asked Zhang Ran and the others if they still had biscuits, and then gave them some, and at the same time said that they and others had not eaten enough for a long time even the grass root bark paste recently, and they had to eat enough today!

"I can't eat any more!"

Zhang Ran waved his hand, took the kettle and handed it to Yang Ming to let him drink water, and at the same time said: "This is a compressed biscuit developed by our detachment itself, not an ordinary biscuit, don't look at it as a small piece, but when you eat it and drink some water in your stomach, swell up a few bowls on the top, and eat a few more pieces, I'm afraid your belly will have to burst......"

Yang Ming and Lao Qin rolled his eyes, with a look on his face, if you are reluctant to forget it, but don't bluff people with these words - compress biscuits, as if no one has ever eaten them!

But what he didn't know was that the compressed biscuits they had eaten before were not compressed biscuits at all, but they were a little stronger than ordinary biscuits......

It's also different from the compressed biscuits that Zhang Ran knew decades later!

Decades later, the kind of military compressed biscuits, more of a pursuit is to integrate more nutrients and calories in a small piece, eating a small piece, it is enough for a strong man not to feel hungry for a day or two and does not affect physical strength, but at the same time, this kind of biscuit will not swell when it encounters liquid......

But these compressed biscuits of the Jindong detachment are different!

Because the detachment could not find food materials that combined more nutrients and calories in a smaller volume, it could only double the volume of dry food in the process of several dry food improvements, not only to enrich the nutrients as much as possible, but also to double the volume and make it easy to carry......

When this compressed biscuit encounters liquid, it really swells up a lot!

Therefore, Zhang Ran didn't let Yang Ming, Lao Qin and others eat more, saying that eating too much might break their belly, which is absolutely true......

However, since Yang Ming and the others didn't believe it, Zhang Ran and the others had no choice but to let them drink more water first, and then wait.

"Drink water and don't fight hunger!"

Yang Ming, Lao Qin and the others were very unhappy, but after all, they still drank some water......

But in seven or eight minutes, a group of people scrambled to burp, and their shriveled stomachs continued to bulge, and they shouted excitedly like children: "Hey, hey, hey, this belly is getting bigger and bigger-tsk, this belly feels full, it's comfortable, it's been a long time......"

Looking at the expressions of satisfaction and happiness of a group of people after finally eating a full meal, a group of people couldn't help but feel sad while enjoying themselves......

Because everyone knows that in addition to them, there are many small base areas behind enemy lines, and the situation is not much better than what Yang Ming and the others are experiencing now......

And those small base areas, on the detachment's side, can't take care of it at all!

No one can help them, they are on their own......

I don't know if I'll be able to survive in the end......

Yang Ming, who had eaten his stomach and was relieved, stared at the equipment of Zhang Ran and the others in the next second, and asked Zhang Ran and the others to help them fight the stronghold of the front gatehouse......

"These little devils of the dog day have blocked our three columns so miserably......"

A group of soldiers of the three columns gritted their teeth, saying that with the superior equipment of Zhang Ran and others, they had to let out this evil breath today......

"You can't fight yet!"

Zhang Ran waved his hand, and when he saw the disappointment on everyone's faces, he began to explain!

First of all, of course, the team with grain and grass was still dozens of miles away and did not come.

On the other hand, the detachment came over this time, and it was not only their three columns that had to help with supplies, but also the Lingbei Independent Regiment in the Lingbei base area of more than 300 miles in the direction of the left flank......

If you startle the snake now, and then want to send supplies to the Lingbei base area, it will be difficult!

Hearing this, Yang Ming and the others' faces became gloomy!

In the previous autumn offensive, most of the casualties of their three columns have not been avenged, and the remaining team has been blocked to death.

"I didn't say I wouldn't fight, I just said I wouldn't fight for the time being!"

Seeing the expressions of a group of people, Zhang Ran immediately understood their thoughts, and said with a smile: "Before fighting, let's discuss it first and find a plan that has the best of both worlds - on the one hand, it will not affect our delivery of supplies to the Lingbei base area, and on the other hand, we have to smash the blockade line of the little devils as much as possible while reducing casualties, and cripple the little devils, and fight them until the little devils want to pee their pants as soon as they see our Eighth Route Army......"

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Yang Ming, Lao Qin and the others couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, feeling that it should indeed be the case - just casually killing a few little devils and pulling out the strongholds of a few little devils is not enough to relieve hatred!

In this case, they don't mind letting the little devil live for a few more days first......
