Chapter 864 was very uncomfortable

In the second half of 1942, China was a hungry China, not only the great famine in Henan, but this natural disaster plunged almost half of China into a crisis. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of the summer and autumn harvests failed, and after the great drought, there was a locust plague, and the famine spread throughout North and South China, and countless people died of starvation, disease, pickpocketing, trampling, and massacre by the Japanese army along the way.

According to later statistics, the number of people who died from the disaster was as high as one million.

The Jiangbei region in charge of Wang Liang is dominated by plains, with a lot of arable land, and the water resources are mainly surface water.

After two months of sustained high temperatures, the river is close to drying up.

Against this background, Wang Liang reorganized and distributed the seven divisions in order to carry out operations as soon as possible and achieve results.

[Establishment of the Jiangbei Seventh Division of the New Fourth Army]

Commander and Political Commissar: Wang Liang

Chief of Staff: Sun Xiangyu

Special Combat Team: Liu Rui (Deputy Chief of Staff and Captain of the Special Combat Team), Harrier Zi (Deputy Captain of the Special Combat Team), Wei Dayong (Deputy Captain of the Special Combat Team), Liu Quande (Deputy Captain of the Special Combat Team)

Commander of the first battalion: Ou Xiang, Gesang.

Commander of the second battalion: Zheng Sanpao, Liu Huaqiang.

Commander of the third battalion: Cao Jiawei, Shui Sheng.

The three battalions have an average of 200 fighters per battalion, and there are no garrisons in the divisions.

"Commander, there's a fellow outside, who wants to see you." A small soldier reported to Wang Liang.

"Invite the fellows in." Wang Liang signaled for the meeting to stop for the time being, ready to ask the fellow first.

After all, the army is the people's army, and most of the fellow villagers are reasonable and take good care of the army. The fellow has looked for it, and it must be something important.

After a while, an old man in his early sixties with a cigarette gun in his mouth walked over quickly.

"You're a commander?" The old man glanced at Wang Liang a few times, and refused to believe that this young man who looked like a child would be the commander, which was a bit of a child's play.

"Uncle, this is our commander." The little warrior introduced.

"Haha, uncle, my name is Wang Liang, the commander of the Seventh Division." Wang Liang smiled, "Uncle, did you find something here?" ”

Hearing Wang Liang ask himself, the old man took his attention away from Wang Liang's age, "The second dog of the god will take the Japanese down tomorrow to collect grain, there is a big drought today, it is not autumn yet, and there is no surplus grain in the landlord's house." The devils let it go, and if they can't get enough food, they will kill until we have enough food. After some discussion, let me talk to you and see if you can help. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely not sit idly by, in the afternoon I will arrange for soldiers to survey the terrain and fight him as an ambush." Wang Liang said.

"Oh, chief, you misunderstood, I mean, aren't you New Fourth Army guarding a few acres of land by the river? Can you lend us some food, let's hand it over first, so as not to be poisoned. The old man waved his hand and interrupted Wang Liang.

Wang Liang only felt that his face was hot, the old man obviously didn't believe in himself, he didn't believe in the New Fourth Army, originally Wang Liang thought that he was here to move the rescue soldiers, and asked himself to fight the devil. Unexpectedly, the old man came to borrow grain from himself, and the grain he borrowed was for the Japanese, so that the Japanese would not poison them.

This is a matter of his own jurisdiction, Wang Liang felt a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle, the Japanese are greedy and will never be satisfied. We still have a little food, and even if we give it to them, what if they threaten you to ask for food? Wang Liang asked rhetorically.

"Hey, let's get rid of the current troubles first." The old man sighed and said helplessly.

"Uncle, where did you get the news that tomorrow the Japanese will go to the countryside to collect grain?" Wang Liang asked.

"There are posthumous people in the village who are on an errand with Ergouzi and send the information back in advance."

"Are you sure it's Japanese?"

"Sure, Hou Sheng said that the Japanese soldiers have been assembled, and those weapons and ammunition have also been moved out of the warehouse, as if they are going to fight. Chief, can you borrow food? Seeing that Wang Liang always diverted the conversation, the old man was a little anxious, "We will definitely pay it back." ”

Wang Liang thought for a while and said, "Okay, uncle, I'll ask the soldiers to take you to get food." ”

"Then thank you, Chief." Hearing Wang Liang say this, the old man's tightly knit brows relaxed.

Wang Liang just gave the grain to the Japanese?

Of course not.

Seeing off the old man, Wang Liang immediately gathered the cadres of the 7th Division to hold an operational meeting and prepare to set up an ambush tomorrow on the road that the Japanese must pass to the countryside.

"The Japanese went to the countryside to collect grain, and according to the usual practice, it would be coordinated by a standard squadron and a company of the Imperial Army. The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army is not worth mentioning, and it basically starts to finish with a shot. However, the Japanese soldiers, especially those in the Jiangbei area, were very strong in combat. Although we have an advantage in numbers, we are far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of equipment and combat experience, and it is difficult to make sure that the attack will be turned into a war against annihilation. Sun Xiangyu, as a local veteran driver, began to introduce the situation to everyone, "Also, the Jiangbei region is dominated by plains and open land, which is different from the mountains you fought before, ambushes can only be hidden in bamboo forests and grasses, and they are easy to find." ”

After listening to Sun Xiangyu's introduction, Wang Liang did have a headache, there were too many constraints, and he couldn't talk about the battles he had played before, this was a new challenge.

The first is the geography, which is a fatal issue.

"Well, what Xiangyu said is very impressive, and it is also a lot of factors worth considering. Now I'm going to talk about something subjective, emotional. When I knew that my uncle had come to borrow food and not to ask for troops, I felt very sorry and ashamed. As soldiers, as soldiers, we should have protected them, but they don't trust us......" Wang Liang, a liberal arts student, undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to the cadres present.

"Commander, hurry up and arrange, we don't want to go on like this. If the military cannot protect the people, then what else do we need to do? Even if I die there tomorrow, I don't want to go down like this. ”

"Yes, no matter how difficult it will be, we will go too! Killing one is enough, killing two is profitable, and it's a big deal to die with the devil. ”

Seeing that he had successfully ignited everyone's passion, Wang Liang smiled slightly, and then began to arrange the task.

Mobilization on the battlefield is very necessary, especially for these recruits in his own army who have not been on the battlefield, Wang Liang still has no bottom in his heart.

On the battlefield, it is common for recruits to lie on their stomachs, especially when 96 percent of their troops are recruits.

Tomorrow's battle must be rhythmically grasped and driven well, otherwise there will definitely be problems, Wang Liang thought secretly.
