Chapter 17: I'll think of a way

After Li Ziyuan finished speaking, Guan Li was also a little stunned. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Captain, we really have no other way to deal with it except for the strong wall Qingye?" I understand your thoughts, but I can't afford to delay this farming time. It's delayed, but it's a whole year's harvest. ”

"Captain Li, you are also a farmer, you should understand the importance of this farming time. This is a mountainous area, and its own grain production is not as good as that of the west. The common people have worked hard for a year, and there is not much grain that can be kept in normal years. At present, it is necessary to pay public rations to meet the needs of the team. The devils are coming to grab some every now and then, and there is not much food left. ”

"The common people come over for half a year of grain and half a year of melon paste. Even when the farm is slack, even melon paste rice is reluctant to make. If this really delays the agricultural time, how can you let the people of Wangjiagou live this year? Relief from the district and county alone cannot be sustained. ”

"I know you're experienced, and you can fight. But Captain Li, the main task of our regional armed forces is to ensure the safety and production of the local people under the limited situation of the main force. I hope you can think of a way to see if there is any other way to ensure the safety of the villagers in Wangjiagou, not to miss the farming time, and not to let the team suffer too much loss? ”

Guan Li's rhetorical question, Li Ziyuan was slightly stunned, but he shook his head and said, "Lao Guan, I also understand what you said." There are other ways to do it, but I don't know if it will work. What if it doesn't work? Devils are not so stupid and easy to deceive. ”

"If it doesn't work, I can only try to do it. But the villagers of Wangjiagou must be ready to transfer at any time. Lao Guan, even if it gives me a month's time. At least it can allow the troops to withstand the attack of the Japanese puppet army and buy enough time for the villagers to transfer. ”

Regarding Guan Li's persuasion, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said, "Lao Guan, I understand what you said. But today's events, I don't feel like I can judge them with common sense. Today's little devil's momentum is very wrong, judging from the reaction of the devil behind me at that time, the identity of that devil Shaozuo is probably not simple. ”

"The devil's character is to suffer losses, and he always has to find a way to get it back. If we kill their important people, the little devils will definitely not do it. Maybe they don't feel distressed when a second lieutenant dies, but it's a young man who dies, and it's strange if the little devil doesn't retaliate. Our combat effectiveness is not mature now, and we can't afford to fight with devils. “

After Li Ziyuan finished speaking, Guan Li was also a little stunned. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Captain, we really have no other way to deal with it except for the strong wall Qingye?" I understand your thoughts, but I can't afford to delay this farming time. It's delayed, but it's a whole year's harvest. ”

"I know you're experienced, and you can fight. But Captain Li, the main task of our regional armed forces is to ensure the safety and production of the local people under the limited situation of the main force. I hope you can think of a way to see if there is any other way to ensure the safety of the villagers in Wangjiagou, not to miss the farming time, and not to let the team suffer too much loss? ”

Guan Li's rhetorical question, Li Ziyuan was slightly stunned, but he shook his head and said, "Lao Guan, I also understand what you said." There are other ways to do it, but I don't know if it will work. What if it doesn't work? Devils are not so stupid and easy to deceive. ”

"If it doesn't work, I can only try to do it. But the villagers of Wangjiagou must be ready to transfer at any time. Lao Guan, even if it gives me a month's time. At least it can allow the troops to withstand the attack of the Japanese puppet army and buy enough time for the villagers to transfer. ”

Li Ziyuan said very sincerely, and Guan Li also knew his difficulties. But at this time, it is true that the transfer into the mountain can avoid considerable risks. But the problem is that the time for spring ploughing is missed, which involves the livelihood of more than 100 people for a year. If it is placed in a wealthy area, the annual needs of more than 100 people are not a big deal.

However, the problem is that the entire area of the second district belongs to the mountainous area with low grain production. Several other districts in Hubei County are either enemy-occupied areas or see-saw areas. The Shangdang Basin, which is rich in grain in the west, is under the strict control of the Japanese puppet army. With the current annual grain output of the second district, it is already very difficult to support the dozens of people of the backbone guerrillas, plus the 2,000 catties of public grain handed over to the sub-district and prefectural committees.

In addition to the annual food supply for these 100 or dozens of people, the district really can't get it. If you can't take it out in the district, you can't take it out in the county. What Li Ziyuan's method is, Guan Li is not clear for the time being. But Guan Li thinks that it is always necessary to try, how can you know if it will work if you don't try? What if it works?

Looking at Guan Li's expectant gaze, Li Ziyuan sighed secretly. This devil is so easy to fool there? What happened in Wangjiagou, the devils knew very well, which was enough to show that they had planted a deep eyeliner within the jurisdiction of the second district. Wangjiagou was a little too close to the Qiaokou stronghold of the Japanese puppet army, and the puppet army arrived at this day.

Why did he insist on the troops entering the mountains in the first place, didn't he worry about being discovered by this eyeliner when he moved to other places, then the unlucky one was not a village in Wangjiagou, and the next one was probably Lijiawa. If this eyeliner is not removed, no matter what you do, the possibility of confusing the Japanese puppet army will not be very great.

The girl and Lao Shi investigated for an afternoon, but they didn't find out who this eyeliner was, which means that this person is very deep and difficult to find out. Could it be that he made a mistake in his judgment, and this person is hiding in Wangjiagou? Unlikely, this is a well-known fortress area in District 2.

The residents here in Wangjiagou are very simple, and in this time of chaos, no one is willing to go out to work, and even there are quite few relatives. Since the troops were stationed in Wangjiagou, only one Langzhong and a merchant who walked the streets and alleys all day have come. The man who walked the square and the merchant are both people who are very familiar to everyone. Especially the merchant is still a secret traffic officer of the county party committee.

But for Li Ziyuan, the more nothing is found out, the more it does not mean that there is no problem. Thinking about Wangjiagou, Li Ziyuan has been scared for the first time in his career as a horseman. is just a little bit, not only does his team have the possibility of being wiped out, but also implicates the villagers in Wangjiagou.

As a basic guerrilla force, Li Ziyuan didn't think that once surrounded, the superior enemy army would be able to rush out. Not to mention anything else, the heavy machine gun on Nanshan was enough to trap his team in Wangjiagou. It is not for nothing that the devil's heavy machine gun position in Nanshan is placed in such an obvious place.

If you encounter the main force, even if there is only one company, the devil will not be so careless. It was precisely because they had a very comprehensive grasp of the situation of their own troops that they dared not even bring grenadiers, the sharp weapon of the Yin machine gun, and only brought a heavy machine gun to sweep up.

I remembered that my team fought against the Japanese army for the first time, because I didn't know anything about grenadiers. Of the only seven light machine guns in his regiment, five of them were blown up by the devil's grenadiers in half an hour. The only two Maxim heavy machine guns were blown up in ten minutes. The head of the regiment at that time was distressed, and his face was twitched.

The two Makqin heavy machine guns were brought over by the soldiers when they were climbing snowy mountains and crossing meadows, rather than lose a single part. As a result, they were all knocked out by the grenadiers of the little devils at close range. You must know that when the whole division crossed the Yellow River eastward, the total number of heavy machine guns was less than thirty. Among them, the Sichuan-made heavy machine guns, which are of very poor quality, account for a large part.

This time, the Japanese puppet army did not carry grenadiers, but only a heavy machine gun and a few light machine guns, which shows that they know the weapons and equipment of their troops very well. Knowing that this operation forms a sufficient density of firepower, it is more important to kill and suppress one's own personnel to break through than to knock out one's own firepower. A dozen rifles lacking ammunition were not enough to wear the Japanese army with grenadiers.

And if there is not enough intelligence support, the Japanese puppet army will not be so careless. The existence of this spy made Li Ziyuan feel like he was thorned in his back. And this feeling was never felt in the main force. In the hinterland of the base area, there is a special security department to do this kind of thing. But in the north of this pot, you have to rely on yourself for everything.

And Li Ziyuan thinks that from the perspective of this latent spy, in the entire second district jurisdiction, the Japanese puppet army may not have more than this eyeliner. Now it is clear that the enemy is very clear about his own strength, and he does not know what the enemy's intentions are next. Even if your own methods are effective, it is not certain how much time you can really buy.

Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan had a headache. Why can't the instructor see through these truths? It is true that she is still the secretary of the district party committee of the second district, but the crux of the problem is what to do with the more than 200 people in Wangjiagou? The truth that cannot be mistaken during farming, he Li Ziyuan does not understand. But the life and death of these hundreds of lives also weighed him a little out of breath.

Anyway, there are only thieves for a thousand days, and there are no thieves for a thousand days. If you can't shift the attention of the Japanese puppet army to other places, even if the devils don't come to retaliate for half a day. But after such a long period of consumption, the first person who can't stand it must be himself. Even if the solution you think of doesn't work, there is always a way to solve it.

Although he was a little hesitant, under the pressure of reality, Li Ziyuan finally decided to follow the instructor's advice for the time being. What else can I do if it doesn't work? If you really miss the agricultural season and delay the harvest for a year, then you will really miss a major event. Besides, can you do nothing all day and quarrel with that girl?

This Lao Guan is right, he is not only an instructor, but also the secretary of the district party committee of the second district. We should consider problems not only from the perspective of the troops, but also from the perspective of local work. After being a soldier for so many years, it was the first time that Li Ziyuan, who felt helpless, scratched his head: "Okay, let's do it according to that girl's advice first." ”

"Lao Guan, I know it's not easy for you. Although it is a bit of a mother-in-law's mouth, since the instructor arrived, the two of us have been on the tip of the needle. Between me and that girl, what you say is good is doing work, and what you don't say is that you are working with the mud. Whether I accept your suggestion or not, I accept your old affection. ”

"Solution, I'll think about it. But I'm still bothering you to shut up that girl on military issues. Don't let me finally figure out my debut, she can't do this, she can't do that, she picks her nose and picks her eyes. I don't have a big appetite, so I eat as much food as I want. ”
