Plants and trees are growing lushly, and the weather is getting warmer day by day.

This past winter was an extremely difficult winter for the vast majority of base areas behind enemy lines......

However, with the spring blossoms, all the people who have been waiting in the hardships have finally seen new hope.

Because, the crops in the fields are growing vigorously, and it seems that people can already see a good harvest in a month or two!

Of course, what is more important is that the wild vegetables that can be eaten in the mountains and wilderness can make all people have more different choices in their rice bowls......

Although the Jindong base area is a well-known base area in the surrounding area, it can definitely be described as a local tyrant within the Eighth Route Army.

But at this time, all kinds of wild vegetables appeared in every household in the base area, even on the dining table of the detachment......

Mother-in-law, purslane, elm leaves, locust flowers, etc......

Eating all this is not only because there is too much food support in the base areas, but also because everyone's food is not abundant, but more importantly, it is like a kind of tradition......

The vast majority of people have been soaked in bitter water all their lives, so even if they have a good life and see wild vegetables that can be eaten, they all think about hoping to save some food......

At the beginning, Zhang Ran and others often got some preferential treatment on the table, and they could see some fresh meat almost every day, such as someone's pork, or freshly caught river fish and the like......

Zhang Ran's usual rule for these preferential treatment is that as long as it is not too excessive, he will not say anything.

After all, these wild vegetables are indeed pure natural and pollution-free, but it is okay to eat them a few times once in a while, and if you eat them every day, Zhang Ran is really a little unbearable......

It's a pity that the newcomers Political Commissar Hu and Staff Officer Feng are obviously not so easy to talk to.

At the beginning, I just came, I saw Zhang Ran doing something special, but his face was not good-looking but he didn't say anything, after a long time, the two of them couldn't stand it at all, and at a meeting, they directly pointed out in public that Zhang Ran was doing this to break away from the masses and violate organizational discipline!

I hope that Zhang Ran can make self-criticism and make corrections......

Kang Ting, Shi Yuan, Thin Monkey and other generals did not attack on the spot because they received Zhang Ran's order, but their faces were not good-looking......

It was also from that day on, that the situation between the generals of the detachment that everyone could open their hearts to whomever disappeared, and it was as if there was something between them, and no one could say what it was, but it was obvious that they could feel it.

All the work in the detachment is still going on in an orderly manner, but it is not going well......

After two consecutive years of uninterrupted mining, the taste of the copper ore in Jianzishan has decreased rapidly, although the copper ore now refined, have been artificially beneficiated to improve the taste, but the output of copper ingots refined by the copper smelting furnace is still inevitably declining......

Due to the lack of high-quality steel, the blacksmith department had to stop the work of making grenadiers and so on, and spent more energy on things such as mines or spears that could be made with only low-quality steel......

However, it is not without good news.

Because they were not too busy, the blacksmith department and the second workshop cooperated with Gai Heiliang to modify various self-made machinery to a certain extent, optimize the performance, and use the remaining part of high-quality steel to imitate a large number of machinery, such as punches, such as forging machines, etc......

These, of course, are all preparations for the mass production of various guns and even artillery fire according to Zhang Ran's vision......

Through the unremitting efforts of Xu Kunjun and the two devils Yoshida Zhong Fujita Ichiro and many mechanical personnel trained by the detachment, coupled with the efforts of Political Commissar Hu and Staff Officer Feng, several key accessories were asked for from the organization......

The fighter plane that the detachment had been accumulating for several months finally took off with a bang in the air one afternoon......

Although it didn't fly as high as the original plane, didn't fly as fast as the original plane, and didn't turn very flexibly or anything, the entire base area was still happy because it finally had its own fighter plane, and it was very much celebrated for several days......

At the same time, under the technical research carried out by the experts brought by Pei Zhenglin day and night, and with the cooperation of Han Jinshan and others, a decisive breakthrough has also been made in the research of penicillin injections suitable for long-term storage and long-distance transportation - now, the penicillin injections produced in the detachment's pharmacy have been successfully transported through vacuum-packed glass bottles, and within half a year, the efficacy can be effectively guaranteed......

Come to think of it, in the near future, the powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory penicillin produced by the detachment will be able to benefit the entire Eighth Route Army, and even the warriors who are fighting to the death against the little devils on the entire anti-Japanese front.

In mid-May, the Jindong base area and its surroundings once again ushered in an unprecedented bumper harvest......

The golden wheat, millet, and so on were piled up in the drying field, which not only enriched the grain cabinets and rice tanks in the homes of the villagers in the base area, but also enriched the dozens of already empty granaries owned by the detachment......

The surrounding Eighth Route Army base areas behind enemy lines also ushered in a bumper harvest at this moment.

Although without the help of chemical fertilizers, the grain output of each base area is completely incomparable with that of the Jindong base area, but it can also give the soldiers and civilians in the base area who have been hungry all winter a chance to have enough to eat.

Let the body that has been depleted by grass roots, bark, and wild vegetables all day long be nourished a little, and let the training that has been abandoned for months in order to reduce consumption be gradually restarted......

It was also at this time that Zhang Ran sent a request to the surrounding base areas to cooperate with the detachment, destroy the little devil's railway line, pick up the little devil's railroad tracks, and come back to make guns and artillery!

After receiving the telegram requesting cooperation, not only did all the surrounding soldiers and civilians who had received favors from the detachment respond positively in the past winter, but the organization also agreed to the detachment's request at the first time, and asked all base areas to carry out cooperation actions in various forms......

June 40.

"Let's go!"

With Zhang Ran's order, more than 10,000 militiamen from the Jindong detachment and various militiamen carrying flat shoulders and carrying shackles rushed out of the Jindong base area from all directions, thinking of the railway line of the little devils in the distance!

At the same time, dozens of large and small Eighth Route Army base areas in the surrounding area, such as Santai, Lingbei and other base areas, also have tens of thousands of people, pouring out of their nests......

Hundreds of thousands of people went out together, which made the little devil startled.

When he finally learned that the Eighth Route Army dispatched so many men and horses to destroy the communication line, the little devil was relieved and responded as soon as possible, ordering the Japanese troops and the Imperial Allied Army along the railway to strictly defend and ensure the smooth flow of the railway line......

After all, the railways around here are all big rails that can't be lifted, not those small rails that can be carried away by a few people!

There are even a lot of devils who have already made wishful thinking, planning to ignore when the Eighth Route Army has just begun to destroy the railway, and when the Eighth Route Army wants to run away with the railroad tracks, they will appear again......

When the time comes, those dirt roads will be slowed down by the rails weighing several tons, and they will not be able to escape at all, and the equipment will not have their own good ......

What the little devil didn't know was that in order to pick up their big railway, Zhang Ranke had been preparing for two years!

Now, almost every base dispatched has at least one wheel cutting machine converted from a motorcycle engine......
