Five drum beams, the 424th regiment stationed.

Since the encounter in Liudian, Yue Siliang has deeply reflected: the regimental station must be absolutely secret, if there is really an enemy to attack, he is confident that he will not be afraid, but the villagers in the station are prone to suffer from unwarranted disasters. After a long period of analysis and consideration, the regimental headquarters decided to move the large forces here. And from Wuguliang, it radiates the surrounding villages and towns and surrounds the county seat.

"Give me a serious wipe, don't take this wiping gun seriously. Usually the gun is well polished, but the guy in your hand can save your life on the battlefield. ”

On the training ground outside the regimental headquarters, the second battalion was training recruits at this time. During this period of operation in Lingqiu, the 424th Regiment's previous attrition in Xigou has been replenished, and hundreds of people have been added on that basis. Now several platoon commanders of the 2nd Battalion are training these recruits to clean their guns.

"Platoon commander, what's the use of this gun? Can you tell us about it? ”

One of the young soldiers was puzzled and said that in his opinion, a good gun is a good gun if it can be fired. This gun is not broken, why do you have to take the trouble to wipe it.

"What do you kid know? This gun must be wiped, and if the gun is well maintained, it will be easy to use. It's the same as pulling the bolt, and people pull it open all at once, and you have to pull it for a long time to pull it open. You said that if we aim at each other, who will die first? ”

The platoon commander didn't say much, but it made sense to the little soldier's brain at once.

"Platoon commander, you know so much, no wonder you are a platoon commander."

The little soldier said with a smile, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to wipe his nose with his cuffs. However, when I thought about it, the newly haired cotton coat was warm and comfortable to wear, but I was reluctant to use it to wipe my nose, so I put my hand down again.

"You kid, it's better than anything else to use all the slapping kung fu on training."

The platoon commander scolded him with a smile, but a hint of joy still appeared in the corners of his eyes. Xin said that the study manual that the head of the regiment gave them was really capable of learning, and if he hadn't been ordered to study compulsorily, he might have been a toad in the well for the rest of his life.

The little soldier who was talking to him just now, as soon as he joined the army, the platoon commander liked him very much and felt that he was a man who could be made. Fang Cai's words made the platoon commander's heart can't help but think about whether one day this little soldier will be able to stand here and teach his recruits like himself.

"It's a gang! It's time to get together! ”

While everyone was concentrating on wiping their guns, the soldiers of the cooking squad came over and informed their platoon that it was time to eat.

"Wipe it one last time, and we'll be able to go to dinner."

The platoon commander stood up, rubbed the soil on his body, and shouted loudly to the soldiers, in exchange for a cheer.

When it was time to eat, the little warrior found a random place to sit down. It was full of pickles that had been boiled all night and a few chopsticks. Walked to the side, squatted down against the tree, and ate beautifully.

If you want to say when these recruits are the happiest in the day, it is naturally the time to eat. The food of the 424th regiment is quite hard, and the corn lumps are allowed to eat, or millet rice, pickles are enough, and the recruits who have eaten in the past few days have enough oil and water in their stomachs, and their physique has grown a lot. Even his arms were thicker.

"Old squad leader, why do you say that the food of our group is so hard."

A recruit didn't want to find a place to squat, so he just guarded the pot to eat, and after eating a bowl, he served himself another bowl, and he had already eaten three bowls in a while.

"Where is this, it turns out that when we were at the end of the Yellow River, the food of our regiment was the best in the entire front army. It's common to pour some meat oil on your meal every once in a while. ”

"......"

The surrounding soldiers exclaimed, it was really too much for the cooking squad leader to say. How many people do you have to be in a front army, and this old squad leader didn't change his face when he said this.

"Old squad leader, I can't believe what you said, it's all true or false."

The soldier who ate three bowls in a row had a questioning face, and said that his mouth was still straight.

"You kid still don't believe me."

The old squad leader picked up the long spoon and knocked it on his head.

"The food in our group is naturally the best. Or why do you think our group has always been more than 1,000 people? Other groups are more than 2,000 people and 3,000 people. The head of the regiment is taking the food of two people to support you half the size. ”

Speaking of this, the old squad leader also deliberately glanced at the bowl in the little soldier's hand.

"Hey......

This good man who ate three bowls in a row and was about to prepare the fourth bowl was stunned at the time, and then laughed shyly. The bowl in his hand was also uncertain, and he didn't know whether he should eat it anymore.

"Eat, eat, the head of the regiment is doing this to keep each and every one of you fed."

The old squad leader laughed, and took the initiative to fill his bowl, and deliberately sandwiched a piece of big pickle gnocchi.

"Those who are well fed will kill many enemies on the battlefield."

"Oh."

The old squad leader's expression became vicissitudes in an instant, making the soldier a little stunned. But he didn't dare to ask more, and walked to the side with the bowl to eat quietly.

"Platoon leader, what's wrong with this old squad leader?"

Walking to a stone pier, he approached the platoon commander who was eating and asked in a whisper.

"Alas, this old squad leader...... He was a platoon commander when I first enlisted. ”

The platoon commander smacked his lips and told such an astonishing truth. Without waiting for the other party to continue to ask, the platoon commander whispered again.

This old squad leader fought bravely at the beginning, and it was precisely because of his bravery that when he broke through that year, his shoulder was pierced by Hanyang Zao. Later, although the hand was saved, it seemed that nothing was wrong, but he could no longer pull the bolt. Later, he could only retire and become such an old squad leader of the cooking class. ”

When the platoon commander said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how many heroes have fallen on this road, and who will fall tomorrow?

……

The soldiers were very happy when they ate, but Wang Shuangyin, who was in charge of logistics, was in trouble.

The consumption of more than 1,000 people eating horses every day is not a small amount. Since the 424th Regiment arrived in Lingqiu, the soldiers' military rations have been bought from the villagers little by little by relying on capture and their logistics.

Lingqiu County's "nine points of mountains and rivers and one part of fields" has been a place where grain has been produced since ancient times. Although today's new grain is harvested, they also buy grain from their fellow villagers at a fair price. But this is still a drop in the bucket, and after this period of time, the silver ocean and fiat currency in the hands of the 424 regiment have been almost spent. There are still a lot of seized yen, but this money is too hot for the villagers to dare to collect.

At this moment, another thing happened that could be called worse.

……

"Uncle, sit down and talk slowly, what's going on?"

Just today, Wang Shuangyin took people to buy grain on the other side of Chehe. This year's harvest on this side of Chehe is not bad, and there is still a surplus of grain, this is the second time Wang Shuangyin has come here to buy grain. Because there was not much surplus food in the group, Wang Shuangyin planned to buy more. He also thought about talking to Yue Siliang about opening up a base here for a while and developing a militia team. As a result, when he arrived at the door of Chehe Township's house, he was replied by Chehe Township that he could no longer sell grain to them!

Hearing this, Wang Shuangyin was shocked in his heart, and the first thing he thought of was whether they were exposed. In order to ensure secrecy, the 424 regiment travels in casual clothes every time it goes out to collect grain, and it is mysterious and low-key. Wang Shuangyin clearly remembered that the villager was very enthusiastic last time, and told them that the families in the village should be able to make up a lot of grain, and if they wanted to buy more, they could come back again. But today, the villager said such unreasonable words, which made Wang Shuangyin instantly alert.

He wanted to give the order to prepare for battle, but soon he noticed the fear and confusion in the old man's eyes in front of him. After confirming that there was no enemy around, Wang Shuangyin talked to the old man again with a pleasant face.

After rejecting Wang Shuangyin, Chen Guigui could be said to be quite scared in his heart. Wang Shuangyin came to buy grain, and there were dozens or hundreds of people at every turn, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the other party must be extraordinary. According to Chen Guigui's heart, he was 11,000 willing to sell grain to Wang Shuangyin. The gang was fair in price and polite to him. How could he not want to?

Seeing Wang Shuangyin take the initiative to help him sit down, Chen Guigui sighed at that time.

"Alas...... I don't know what you're doing, sir. But old man, I have watched people all my life, and I know that you are all good people. But I really can't sell you this grain. ”

Chen Guigui frowned, and his mouth was also sighing repeatedly.

"Uncle, speak slowly. Even if you don't sell it to us, why don't you tell me why? It makes your heart feel happy to say it. ”

Wang Shuangyin was very patient and was not in a hurry to urge him, but just sat aside and listened.

"Alas...... It's all ...... that was killed that day, isn't this the Japanese entering Lingqiu. There was a man named Fan Jianwen in the county seat, so he went to worship the master and became a county magistrate. He's become the county magistrate, okay! The day before yesterday, guess what order he gave him? I want every village in Lingqiu County to hand over a thousand catties of grain! You said we had a good harvest this year, but we can't do that. If he wants to do this, there will be no surplus grain in our village, and now no one is willing to sell their grain! ”

After Chen Guigui's words were finished, Deputy Head Wang jumped his eyebrows. He also knew about Fan Jianwen's appointment as the puppet county magistrate, but he didn't expect that the puppet head would burn such a fire as soon as he took office, and he had already guessed something at the moment.

"It seems that this Fan County Magistrate wants to burn our 424 regiment with this fire, since this is the case, let's wait and see."
