Although he did not know the intention of the Japanese army in doing this, Ma Zheng knew that the trouble of the Suicha Military Region was coming, and although the Japanese army was so ignorant at this time, although it was not all due to the pressure of food and military salaries, it was basically a fact that the Japanese army was short of food now, and now the peasants were in a time of shortage, and the Japanese army was sending troops to the countryside to grab grain, which was a desperate way of life, so it was imperative to protect the grain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

According to the regulations of the Suicha Military Region, starting in March, all units must conduct military training for more than half a year, and although the degree of training is not as arduous as that of the special combat units, the amount of training is not small.

In addition, all units of the military region still have other tasks to be carried out, so Ma Zheng ordered all units to carry out rotational training, that is, each unit will divide the training tasks of the whole army into two stages, the first is to send a part of the troops directly under the army to carry out the tasks, include the field troops in the training plan, and then transfer the field units with the units directly under the task after three months, so that all the units of the whole army can carry out intensive training in half a year.

However, now the Japanese army is ready to move, and the tasks carried out are all directly subordinate units with weak combat effectiveness, and the most important thing is that compared with the field troops, the number of directly subordinate units of each unit is not large, and the defense of the base areas can only be described as reluctant.

If these troops are allowed to go to the occupied areas or the border areas between the base areas and the occupied areas to fight the Japanese army to the death, not to mention whether these directly subordinate troops can complete their tasks, the vast majority of the directly subordinate troops are technical troops, and every time Ma Zheng is killed or wounded, he is very distressed, and Ma Zheng will definitely not do it if he is thrown down by the little devil in the task of grabbing grain.

However, the rotational training of all units must be completed, and the units have just been reorganized, and they must need a running-in period, and the time must not be less than half a year. If the rotation training is stopped now, all the efforts of the first three months will be in vain, and the training of field troops is more important than that of the troops directly under him, so Ma Zheng suddenly fell into a dilemma.

Ma Zheng walked out of his office with a telegram and went straight to Commissar Luo's office, where there were a lot of people, including Xu Yinghui and Feng An.

Seeing Ma Zheng walk in, the others hurriedly got up to say hello.

"Commander, how are you packing up, when will you leave?" Political Commissar Luo immediately asked.

A few days ago, Ma Zheng received an order that in view of the fact that the Japanese army was continuing to increase troops in the direction of Shandong, Yan'an asked Ma Zheng to return to the Shandong front as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation. Therefore, Ma Zheng decided to leave for the south within a week, and because of this, Ma Zheng asked the cadres of the military subdivisions to go directly to Political Commissar Luo if they had something, and he had to pack up his things in the next few days.

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "It's almost, I was planning to leave tomorrow night, I never thought that this little devil would find trouble for us!" ”

"Oh, what did the little devil do again?" Political Commissar Luo immediately asked.

Ma Zheng handed the telegram in his hand to Political Commissar Luo, and then said, "Old Luo, you better read it yourself!" ”

After reading the telegram handed over by Ma Zheng, Political Commissar Luo and others were also quite surprised, but like Ma Zheng, they couldn't figure out what the Japanese army was going to do. But as Ma Zheng said, no matter what the Japanese army wants to do, its target is the Chinese, so the military region must prepare for the worst.

"Commander, I think so, why don't all the units that are trained in rotation be rebuilt, they have been training for more than three months, I went to various units a few days ago to take a look, and the results of the training are still very good, I think this batch can go to the battlefield. If they didn't have this kind of thing, it wouldn't be a problem to let them train for another month or two, but now that they have a mission, they should still be better off just in case, don't you think? Political Commissar Luo asked.

Ma Zheng knew that the training period for recruits would be at least three months to half a year, and although the vast majority of the soldiers in the various units of the Suicha Military Region were no longer recruits, Ma Zheng still wanted to use half a year to carry out a more thorough rebuilding of these soldiers with complex compositions from various forces.

Besides, now is not the last resort, so Ma Zheng thought for a while and said: "Lao Luo, I think it is better not to let the rotational training troops return, although the Japanese army may be coming at us this time, but now the training tasks of each unit have not been fully completed, if the training is stopped now, it is likely that the previous achievements will be wasted." And now that the Japanese army has just begun, I don't know who these bitches are going to, and if our reaction is too great, it is likely to draw the attention of the Japanese army to our military region. ”

"Commander, even if we don't take action, the Japanese army still regards us as a thorn in the side, and will never let our military region develop like this. Xu Yinghui said that he was very much in favor of stopping the training camp now and immediately returning to the construction of all units in case of emergency.

Now the actions of the Japanese army are treacherous and abnormal, and it cannot be ruled out that they are preparing for the upcoming big war. Combined with the losses of the Japanese army in the Battle of North China some time ago, Ma Zheng suddenly found that the Japanese army seemed to be really coming at him now, after all, the Japanese are famous for their nature of retribution.

As for the barren army to grab grain, it is not a new thing for the Japanese, besides, the Japanese should be short of food and money now, after all, the summer grain has not yet been harvested.

At this time, Ma Zheng suddenly thought about it and said: "I think about it, there is only one possibility that the Japanese army is so ignorant of the importance of collecting food and wages from the peasants, that is, the Japanese army may be accumulating strength and preparing to carry out a major counterattack, with the current strength of the Japanese army, it is more than enough to protect itself, but it is far from enough to want a comprehensive counterattack, and it is even more impossible to completely solve the resistance force in the entire North China." So this time, the Japanese army is likely to target only one target, and then concentrate on striking with all their might. ”

"Who is the little devil going to do it to, Jin Suijun? The Central Army or our Eighth Route Army? Political Commissar Luo immediately asked.

"I think the entire North China region can make the Japanese army hate the bone and want to get rid of the anti-Japanese force is only our military region, some time ago the Japanese army was defeated by the blow of our military region, whether it is in terms of troops, weapons and ammunition, or even food, medicine have suffered heavy losses, the lost troops of the Japanese army can also be transferred from the mainland, Korea, Taiwan several colonies, and the Japanese army can also be transferred from the northeast region or the Japanese mainland. But the only food must be collected locally from the occupied areas! ”

Political Commissar Luo also said in a deep voice: "What the commander said is very reasonable, the situation of Japan's domestic grain production this year is not optimistic, and the Japanese archipelago, which has a large and dense population, cannot feed nearly 100 million Japanese people at all. Therefore, at this time, the food required by the entire Chinese army was collected by the DPRK and Taiwan, and all the rest was collected by the troops on the spot. ”

Although according to the intelligence department collected intelligence, the Japanese army still has some military rations in Shimen and Jinan, but the quantity is less than one-third of the amount stored in Tianjin, and it is simply unable to meet the needs of so many Japanese troops. Moreover, according to the intelligence gathered by our intelligence department, the Japanese reinforcements continued to land in Tianjin and Qingdao, so many troops naturally had to eat. ”

Ma Zheng nodded, and immediately said: "Well, Lao Luo still knows a lot about the situation in Japan!" According to our estimate of the amount of grain we have captured from the Japanese army, if there is no combat mission, the Japanese army's military rations will barely be enough for 300,000 people to eat for about four months, and it can barely support this year's summer harvest. If there is a combat mission, according to the Japanese army's wartime food rations, the Japanese army's military rations can only last the Japanese army for more than two months, so the Japanese army's collection of military rations from the people in the occupied areas this time seems to be killing chickens and eggs, but in fact it is likely to be the prelude to the outbreak of the war.
