Zhongtiao Mountain, located in the southwest of Shanxi Province, is the junction of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan. Wei Lihuang's troops have always occupied this strategic location. In order to attack Shaanxi and seize Xi'an, the Japanese army has besieged Zhongtiao Mountain more than a dozen times since 1938, but has never succeeded.

It was because the Nationalist Army in Mt. Nakajo was a thorn in the side of the Japanese First Army, so when he heard that the thugs who robbed four foreign firms in a row, killed hundreds of Japanese officers and soldiers and overseas Chinese, and bombarded the headquarters and narrowly murdered Commander Suzuka, it was the guerrillas of the Nationalist Army, and the first thing that came to Aso's mind was the Central Army of Nakajo Mountain.

Although Zhongtiao Mountain is several hundred kilometers away from Taiyuan, who can guarantee that the guerrillas who come down from Zhongtiao Mountain will not be able to come to Taiyuan to commit crimes? The time limit given to him by Commander Suzuka is ten days, what if the case can't be solved in ten days? After thinking about it, Aso Shaozo simply selected a group of elites and took them to Zhongtiao Mountain in person.

Whether I can solve the case or not, I always try, right? At the very least, the case can't be solved in ten days, Taro Aso is hiding far away in Nakajo Mountain, and General Suzuka can't go all the way to Nakajo Mountain to ask him about the progress of the case, right?

Eighty-eight longitudinal aspects. Since Hu Fei has committed such a shocking case in Taiyuan City, he is of course concerned about the subsequent development of the incident. Ordinary people don't know that Cheng Laogang's investigators can always use various means to learn about some movements of the Japanese invaders. For example: Ichiro Aso, the head of the special high school section, went south with fifty elite agents, and Cheng Laozhuan found out half a day later.

Taro Aso brought fifty agents? I'll send a hundred scouts with him!" What the hell do you want to see what this devil is doing? didn't report to Hu Fei, Cheng Laogang ordered Mulati to take a hundred people to follow.

Beginning in the autumn of 1940, a severe drought occurred in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, and grain production dropped sharply. The local peasants themselves were hungry, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of national troops stationed on the Nakajo Mountain.

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief, Wei Lihuang, has a wide network of people and energy, and he can transfer food from other regions, which finally makes the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain hungry.

However, we can barely eat enough food, but there is almost no strategic grain reserves. If you want to have enough food reserves, you have to wait until the following year, after the autumn harvest of 1941. Even then, you have to pray that God will be in a good mood, otherwise, it will still be inevitable that there will be a shortage of food.

In the autumn and winter of 1940, the Eighth Route Army launched the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, and although the Nationalist Army in Zhongtiao Mountain was not rich in food, it still carried out corresponding cooperative operations. The Battle of the Hundred Regiments dealt a blow to the Japanese invaders, expanded the anti-Japanese base areas, and at the same time allowed the armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to join hands again in the face of the Japanese invaders. The side effect is that food is more scarce.

Due to food shortages, food prices on the market have doubled several times compared to a few months ago. In desperation, the troops of Zhongtiao Mountain had no choice but to adopt a rationing system. Individual units have even been exchanging weapons and ammunition for food.

Eat food and be a soldier, as a soldier fighting for the country, you can't go to the battlefield hungry, right? In this regard, the commanders from the guard commander to the commanders of various armies and divisions were helpless. I had to turn a blind eye, as long as the troops didn't make too much trouble, the commanders would not know.

The predicament faced by the Nakajo Mountain National Army could not be clearer as the opponent's Japanese army's special high class. On the way here, Ichiro Aso calculated the poison plan, and waited for the place to implement it step by step.

With food in such a tight supply, the biggest task of the commanders in charge of logistics and supply of the various armies on Zhongtiao Mountain is naturally to raise grain and grass. Regardless of whether you buy it openly or privately, you have to get your hands on the food anyway. Nowadays, it is no longer the drug dealers who are most popular, but the grain merchants.

On this day, the logistics department of the Third Army in Wenxi County came to a few outsiders. These outsiders, who are not tall and not amazing, directly found the logistics department as soon as they came, and Zhang Gongjin, the chief of the procurement section, received them. The outsiders are very polite, and without saying a few words, they invited Section Chief Zhang to eat at Defeng Building, the largest restaurant in the county.

Eat it, eat it, Lao Tzu is the section chief of the national army, am I afraid of you? In order to prevent the other party from playing any conspiracy, Section Chief Zhang brought two guards with him when he went.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I ordered a table of dishes, and the guests from other places also asked the two guards for wine and meat. The frequent toasts on the wine table are very attentive anyway. Zhang Gongjin wondered, what did these boys want to do business? Why can't you tell who they are?

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, and a table of wine and food was almost eaten, the stranger lifted the lid and said something. It turned out that they were the heroes of the green forest in Luliang Mountain, because the cottage lacked sophisticated weapons, so these people wanted to come over and try to see if they could buy a batch of good guys from the national army!

Zhang Gongjin's face sank when he heard this, "Hmph, when the national disaster is at hand, you are also a dignified five-foot man." I don't want to serve the country and go to the battlefield to fight with the Japanese devils, but occupy the mountains as the king and the grass as the coward. Want to buy weapons from me? Dream on! ”

"What did you say?" The face of the little man in the lead changed suddenly, but the next second he put on a flattering smile, "Section Chief Zhang, you can't say that." We can also resist Japan if we get weapons and ammunition. As long as the Japanese army comes to attack my cottage, we will also take up arms and resist. ”

"Are you still resisting Japan? Laugh at. Section Chief Zhang scoffed at the bandits' words and obviously didn't believe them.

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated! Section Chief Zhang, please don't look down on people like this! Now I'll tell you the truth, what is the price of a new rifle if you buy it with money? If you exchange it for grain, how many catties of flour can you exchange it for a medium formal rifle? ”

Flour? Zhang Gongjin's heart couldn't help pounding violently when he heard these two words. He was the chief of the procurement section of the Logistics Department, and he knew best what the food shortage of the Third Army was. It's not just him, who in the logistics department of the Third Army doesn't dream of getting food? If the troops run out of food, must the people in their logistics department not be pointed at their noses and scold their ancestors?

"Ahem. This, flour for rifle is not non-negotiable. However, it depends on the quality of the flour. This year's new flour will definitely be more expensive, and the price of aged flour will definitely be lower. If it had been flour a few years ago, the price would have been lower. ”

Section Chief Zhang thought that he was already very calm, but what he said still leaked the current situation of the army's lack of food. If the troops are not short of food, where will they collect old food? Not to mention the kind of old flour that has been aged for a few years.

"Hehe, Section Chief Zhang is really a happy person. Then I'll be honest. It's true that our flour is not from this year, but it will not be aged for years. It was last year's flour. The little man at the head rolled his eyes with a treacherous expression on his face.
