PS: There is one more chapter to be sent later.

"You warriors here eat like this, huh?" Zhou Shuai looked at the high-stacked, oily dishes, especially the braised pork, braised fish, and cooked beef, and was very surprised.

"Is there something wrong?" Lu Qiang replied casually, and suddenly remembered that the environment in Yan'an is very bitter, not to mention meat, even the dishes for dinner are rare, and there are mostly pickles.

"I have a farm here, and I raise a lot of pigs and beef cattle, fish ponds, and livestock purchased from the people, so I don't have to worry about meat dishes." Lu Qiang explained.

"Oh." Zhou Shuaige nodded, indicating that he didn't expect to get a farm. Suddenly, something came to mind, "How can the people have extra livestock?" ”

"Encourage them to raise it, we can subsidize the feed if we raise more, and then buy, after all, these more than 100,000 people, with only one farm, it is difficult to supply, so it will be distributed to the people, and it is not for them to raise it for nothing, we also spend money to buy." Lu Qiang knew what Zhou Shuai meant, probably because he was worried that he would buy and sell.

After listening to Lu Qiang's explanation, Zhou Shuai realized that he was thinking too much, he Lu Qiang was such a tyrant, so he cared about that bit of chicken and duck money.

At lunch, Lu Qiang and Zhou Shuai talked while eating in the private room, Lu Qiang didn't want him to drink some wine, and by the way, he saw its massiveness, but he was rejected, Zhou Shuai said that he was afraid of drinking and delaying things, so he rejected Lu Qiang's kindness.

was rejected, Lu Qiang didn't care, and the two continued to eat.

Outside the private room, two guards made a bowl of big fish and meat on a table next to the door of the private room, and the mouths of the food were full of oil, and the cooks who watched it felt tired, but the two of them didn't feel that it was a rare opportunity to eat a good meal of fish and meat. Besides, Lu Qiang also said, let go of the belly and eat, then what are they polite.

The 259th Division, which came back from training to eat, looked at the two extra people in the canteen with some surprise, wearing earthy gray clothes that seemed to be military uniforms, and I didn't know which part it was, I hadn't seen it.

"Hey, brother, I haven't seen you in that part?" A platoon commander was puzzled when he saw that someone was eating, so he asked.

"We? We are the ...... of the Eighth Route Army," a guard said proudly.

"Eight roads, I know, eat slowly, don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables and fruits." The platoon commander knew that he had long heard that someone from the Eighth Road would come today, and they also had a lot of contact with the Eighth Road, so he was also polite.

"Platoon commander, platoon commander, who are they?" As soon as the platoon commander sat down, someone came to ask him.

"Why are you asking so much, people are guests, why can't you even stop your mouths for food." The platoon commander glared at them.

The soldiers of the 289th Division eat very quickly, they must be fast, there are troops waiting behind, after all, a canteen is only so big, and a division has 20,000 people, and they can't all be loaded in, so they can only eat separately.

The two guards watched in amazement as they devoured it, and within a few minutes, they licked the plate clean, then took the plate and washed it back in place, and left the cafeteria with a piece of fruit.

Lu Qiang and Zhou Shuai also ate about the same, and then, Lu Qiang took him around the barracks, by the way, introduced some weapons and equipment that were new to Zhou Shuai, and then discussed some other things, and tried to reach a contract.

Then on the matter of support, Lu Qiang didn't say anything, Zhou Shuaige took the initiative to bring it up, they could gather more than 10,000 people, they could harass the Japanese army and destroy the logistics line of the Japanese army.

For this, Lu Qiang now feels that the role is not too great, but it is better than nothing, and it can speed up the destruction of the Japanese 12th Army.

That's right, it's perish, Lu Qiang is ready to kill the entire 12th Group Army directly, and he won't let go of any of them, he has an appetite, it's really leveraged, and he is not afraid to hold on.

And what Lu Qiangyao paid was very simple, just a gun/ammunition, it was trivial to Lu Qiang, not to mention 10,000 people, even a million people he could pay, with more than 10,000 people, it was only temporarily under Lu Qiang's command.

Then, they will do some homely work to enhance the relationship between the two parties.

This 10,000-strong guerrilla force is relatively loose and its communications are underdeveloped, making it difficult to command.

As for how to command these guerrillas, Lu Qiang is also a little nerve-wracking, he and his subordinates don't know these loose guerrilla fighting methods, and Zhou Shuaige is not a commanding figure, so this matter is a little troublesome.

"Otherwise, someone from your side will send over, and I will pay for it." Lu Qiang said half-jokingly.

"Haha, the commander said with a smile, you have a lot of talents, how can we help." Zhou Shuai waved his hand and smiled.

Lu Qiang smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.

In the afternoon of the same day, at the call of Zhou Shuai, the guerrillas in the Dabie Mountains area gathered in Dawang Village early the next morning to change their clothes, and threw all the old-fashioned broken rifles in their hands to Lu Qiang for recycling, and replaced them with brand-new Mauser rifles, equipped with MG34 machine guns and mortars, and the ammunition was guaranteed, so that their firepower instantly increased several times.

"Ahem, this gun, good, good." The captain of a guerrilla unit took a gun and sniffed it fiercely, sniffed the smell of gun oil, and choked on the cough.

"Nonsense, I want you to say, look at this gun, brand new, and authentic Mauser rifle, I don't know how much better than that official." A guerrilla captain next to him scoffed.

"Hurry up, replace all your broken brass and iron." A captain said.

After changing their weapons, everyone excitedly touched the brand-new rifle in their hands, as if they were stroking a beautiful woman.

"Ahem, be quiet, and say it simply." Lu Qiang came to the stage with a loudspeaker to speak, and swept it down with a glance, "Alas, who is that, this is a gun, not a beauty, don't be so close, talk about you." ”

Ignoring the guy who was holding the gun and kissing fiercely, Lu Qiang went straight to the point, "Tell me, I will issue weapons to you, not to make you look good, but to have a task." ”

"Our 41st Group Army has reached a consensus with your Red Party, and the task given to you is to block the Japanese army, presumably you should know that my army is fighting with the Japanese army, except for Nanjing, in the north of Dabie Mountain, the Japanese army wants to sneak attack, but it is temporarily stopped, I do not have high requirements for you, that is, to go to the rear of the Japanese army, harass the logistics and supply of the Japanese army, if they retreat, you can stop them. Rest assured in terms of ammunition, we have it all."

"Really?"

Everyone was surprised and skeptical of what Lu Qiang said. I was surprised that Lu Qiang was so relieved to hand over so many weapons and ammunition to them, and doubted the authenticity of what he said.

"What I said is absolutely true, your Yan'an Chief Zhou is here, if there is anything unclear you can ask him, this matter is the result of consultation with him." Lu Qiang pointed to the handsome guy Zhou on the side and said. (To be continued.) )
