After Akira Koike and Hikaru Nakajima returned to the camp, the team leader went to the captain to report the task, and Akira Koike kept reminiscing about the first time he enjoyed and played with the gold ring in his hand.

Suddenly, Koike Akira smelled a fragrance, and when he saw that it was time to eat, Koike Akira knew that there would be a lot of delicious food today, after all, he had gone to collect so many things, and the food had to be improved.

Koike Akira hurriedly ran over to line up, and when he saw Hikaru Nakajima in front of him, he smiled and said, "Nakajima-kun, what do you say we are going to eat today?" ”

Hikaru Nakajima knocked on the bowl and smiled, "I smell the taste, I think there should be pork, it's rare for us to eat this thing in China." ”

Koike Akira looked at the sky and said, "Meat, it reminds me of the taste of my mother's cooking, but I can't eat meat a few times at home, and I only eat it often after joining the army. ”

Hikaru Nakajima nodded and said, "So such a land should have a nation worthy of them, only our Yamato nation should have such a place, and their people are only worthy of being our subordinates." ”

Soon there were two people in line, and when the two of them saw that today's meal was really hearty, there was big white rice, pork, lotus root, and a bowl of miso soup. After eating, you can also get a small glass of sake and a pack of cigarettes.

Koike Akira found that Hikaru Nakajima's eyes were wrong, and Koike Akira wondered, "Nakajima Hikaru, what's wrong with you?" ”

Hikaru Nakajima sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, we're about to be transferred to the battlefield, and although the food should be better, it shouldn't be so good." In particular, the pack of cigarettes should be for our preparation for war. ”

Koike Akira said excitedly, "Really? We're going to go to war and kill the Chi Na, and I can't wait. ”

Hikaru Nakajima glanced at Akira Koike and said, "You'll know after eating." ”

After eating, the team leader really began to gather again and said, "Gentlemen, get excited." We are about to enter the battlefield, in the afternoon we will be transferred to Luodian, everyone should know that there are many Chinese troops who are stubbornly resisting, but everyone rest assured, these Chinese soldiers are weak and weak, we can fight ten of them alone, now we will go to the brigade to assemble, and then set off. ”

Luo Dian? Isn't that the direction of attack of the 11th Division? Why did your own 3rd Division also participate?

Curious Koike Akira asked Hikaru Nakajima. Hikaru Nakajima sighed and said, "I heard that there is already a river of blood on the Luodian side, and we didn't have a good fight." ”

Koike said disdainfully, "That's useless for them." We'll have no problem putting it on. ”

"Are you finally going to the battlefield?" Xiao Chi Huang was a little frightened in his heart, but he was more excited, looking at the 38 big cover of his comrades, a straight crooked handle, a grenadier canister, and a 92 heavy machine gun.

Akira Koike smiled and thought, "Is there a more powerful force in the world than this one?" ”

Soon on the way, Koike's squad entered the attack position, and the smell not far away was telling Koike that this was the bloody battlefield.

"Look, it's our plane." Hikaru Nakajima shouted, and Koike looked up to see only five planes flying towards the camp of the defenders on the opposite side.

"It's amazing. Blow up those China! Akira Koike cheered.

But soon Koike Akira couldn't laugh anymore, only to see a few planes flying on the opposite side, and soon they were entangled with the Japanese planes, and the planes on both sides flew around like butterflies. Koike was dazzled by it.

At this time, the squad leader suddenly stood up and said, "All ready, and when the shelling is over, immediately follow the chariot and charge the enemy position." ”

Koike Akira held his steel gun tightly, at this time. A squeaky steel chariot came to his side, and Koike saw the door of the chariot open, and a Japanese soldier wearing a chariot cap stood up and looked into the distance with a telescope.

Hikaru Nakajima smiled, "Don't be envious. It's hot inside. ”

Koike nodded in understanding, and the shelling began.

Koike Akira only saw huge fireballs emerging from the position in the distance, and Koike Akira exclaimed in admiration, "It's amazing, our imperial army is really powerful." ”

Koike said and patted Nakajima Mitsudao, "Nakajima-kun, look, under such artillery fire, where can anyone survive, are we completely going up to pick up corpses, I really don't understand why the 11th Division can't win such a battle." ”

Hikaru Nakajima looked at it and said, "That's true, even steel will melt under such artillery fire." ”

The artillery bombardment lasted for more than half an hour, and Koike only heard the squad leader's words, "Attack." He immediately gritted his teeth and began to rush up with a steel gun, but was stopped by Hikaru Nakajima.

Koike Akira turned around and asked, "Hikaru Nakajima, what's wrong?" ”

Hikaru Nakajima blinked and said, "Don't be in the front, the front is the fastest to die, just a little ahead." ”

Koike rolled his eyes and nodded, following Hikaru Nakajima as he bent down behind the chariot and slowly advanced.

It was almost less than a hundred meters to the Chinese position, and there was still no reaction.

Koike Akira couldn't help but say to Hikaru Nakajima, "Are they all dead?" No reaction at all? ”

Before the words fell, Koike Akira suddenly heard a Chinese word, and then the Chinese position seemed to suddenly come alive, countless gunshots erupted violently, and Koike Akira immediately crawled to the ground with a nervous reflex, and slowly raised his head after making sure it was safe.

I only saw countless figures on the Chinese position, and the comrades in front were killed more than a dozen at once, and Koike Akira also saw that the squad leader was injured, vomiting blood and trying to climb back, but was swept to pieces by the machine gun.

Koike said angrily, "Damn the Shina people. As he spoke, he took the 38 cover and slowly aimed at the machine gunner who was holding a machine gun and firing it.

"Bang" Koike Akira looked at it, and it didn't hit, but it attracted the attention of the machine gunner, and Koike immediately rolled over and fell into a crater.

Where Akira Koike had just been, he was shot three times by a machine gun.

Hikaru Nakajima was also in this crater, and when he saw this scene, he shouted, "Grenadiers, hurry up and knock out that machine gun, damn it, what is the tank doing?" ”

When I looked up, the chariot was staggering towards the position.

But the chariot that everyone was expecting didn't go far when it was hit by a cannonball that came from nowhere, and the charioteers who were still in high spirits just now were covered in fire.

Koike Akira swallowed his saliva and said to Hikaru Nakajima, "Nakajima-kun, you're right. It's really hot inside the chariot. ”

That's when grenadiers and mortars began to come into play. Koike Akira saw that the machine gun that had just almost hit himself was hit by a grenade and flew into the sky, a deputy shooter panicked and wanted to run away, Koike Akira immediately shot over, this time, seeing the Chinese soldier vomiting blood and falling to the ground, Koike Akira licked his lips, it feels really good to kill.

At this time, there was a roar from behind the captain of the whole army charged.

Koike and Nakajima also stood up, Koike turned off the safety and began to charge up the position, Nakajima Hikaru was by his side, and the Chinese defenders also took out their own weapons. Koike Akira was surprised to see a big man who was a head taller than himself holding a big knife and slashing at himself, and Koike Akira hurriedly wanted to resist with a gun.

"Bang", Hikaru Nakajima shot, Koike Akira looked at Hikaru Nakajima in surprise and said, "Why don't you close the insurance?" ”

Hikaru Nakajima smiled, "Are you stupid?" If you really close the insurance as required, even if you are injured by mistake, it will not hit you, what are you afraid of? Alright, hurry up and kill him. ”

Koike Akira held a gun, looked at the Chinese soldier who was cursing on the ground viciously, and stabbed it down. Later, he teamed up with Hikaru Nakajima and another comrade-in-arms to start a bloody hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese army.

Night slowly fell, and this small area of position was finally knocked down, and Akira Koike and Hikaru Nakajima shouted the slogan of Banzai.

Koike sat on the ground panting, but saw that the comrade who was fighting with him was no longer good. What are you muttering in the arms of the medics?

He was wounded by a Chinese soldier at gunpoint.

Hikaru Nakajima slowly walked over and scolded, "Damn, those officers are liars, what can we fight ten, Koike Akira." Do you know how many people have just died in our squad? ”

Koike shook his head suspiciously.

Hikaru Nakajima scolded, "Nine died, and we set off with fifty-four people, and now it has become forty-five." Damn, this is a battle. ”

When Koike Akira heard this, he also scolded, "Damn the Shina people, we must take revenge." ”

Hikaru Nakajima sighed, "I just hope we can all go back alive, you still have to get married, and I still have my newborn daughter." ”

Koike hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The night was quiet, and the sporadic sound of gunfire in the distance had already left Akira Koike and Hikaru Nakajima indifferent. After dinner, the tired two quickly fell asleep.

Just when the Japanese army was sleeping, countless black shadows slowly crawled towards the Japanese army.

Koike Akira was woken up by the explosion, and as soon as he opened his eyes in a panic, he saw that there was fighting everywhere, and countless black shadows came out of nowhere with bright machetes rushing around.

Koike Akira also hurriedly took the bayonet and stuck it into the gun, ready to rush out.

only to find that a few black things fell in front of him, and before Koike Akira could react, he was grabbed by Hikaru Nakajima and thrown aside.

"Bang bang bang" a few explosions, it was a grenade.

Koike looked at Hikaru Nakajima and said, "Thank you, Hikaru Nakajima, you saved my life." These damn people actually sneak attacked? As he spoke, he wanted to rush up.

Hikaru Nakajima looked at the troops who were being killed and retreated, and shouted, "Don't rush, retreat quickly, you can't win the battle, damn where did the Shina people get so many grenades." ”

When they retreated to their original positions, there were only thirty-two people left in the team, and Hikaru Nakajima looked at the team with a somewhat low morale and said silently, "This is not a war, this is a mill, a mill that specializes in eating flesh and blood." ”

Koike Akira looked at Hikaru Nakajima and couldn't help but be a little scared, "Will you go back by yourself?" Yumeko is still waiting for herself. ”

-- Yan'an

Jiang Cheng was sorting out the materials and material needs that were constantly being reported, while listening to music with headphones. After all, life in Yan'an is really boring for him in later generations.

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, Jiang Cheng opened the door, and what he saw was Chairman Mao's guard Xiao Wang.

Jiang Cheng asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? ”

Xiao Wang Lizheng saluted and said, "203, Chairman Mao suddenly convened an emergency meeting and asked you to observe. ”

Jiang Cheng frowned, now everything is slowly on the right track, the army has begun to march one after another, foreign talents have begun to be grouped according to volunteers, the university has begun to prepare for establishment, what else needs to be held in an emergency meeting, Jiang Cheng thought while following Xiao Wang to the conference room.

The conference room was already full. Everyone saw Jiang Cheng nodded, Chairman Mao pointed behind him and said, "203, you sit behind me, and by the way, take note of the meeting minutes." ”

After the people arrived, Chairman Mao began to say: "It is an important thing to convene a meeting for everyone late at night, and everyone knows that many university professors and senior intellectuals have come to our Yan'an recently." ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, Chairman Mao continued, "Today's meeting is about the research of several professors, He Changgong, you can come and come." ”

He Changgong nodded and said, "Everyone should know that from July to now. We had been worried about this year's grain harvest because of the heavy precipitation in our border region, and since some of the scholars who had come this time were meteorologists, the chairman ordered me to consult them, and they immediately checked the records of this period and the situation in the area. He Changgong paused and continued, "The experts have told us a good news, the rain is about to disappear, but there is also bad news, followed by a possible drought in the next few months. In particular, the drought in the Yanan-Yanchang-Yanchuan-Mizhi area will be extremely serious, and our grain output may be reduced to a dangerous level. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and everything can be missing. Food is absolutely indispensable.

Ren Bishi immediately said, "Is the situation true?" Is it really that serious? ”

Lin Boqu stood up and said, "Northern Shaanxi is notoriously calamitous here, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng was troubled because of natural disasters, not to mention anything else, since the Republic of China." There were seven droughts and two floods. There has been little grain in the private sector, although since the land reform. The enthusiasm of the common people has increased, but once the predictions of experts come true, our food will become a big problem. ”

Chairman Mao lit a cigarette and said, "Lin Lao, what is the extent of the people's grain stocks and the worst harvest?" ”

Lin Boqu thought for a while and said: "At most, we will hold out until July and August next year, and then if there is no foreign grain, the border areas will run out of food, and the key is that although our army has gone out and reduced tens of thousands of mouths, there are constantly comrades from all over the world coming to our Yan'an, and these people will usher in a small climax in a few months, and I am afraid that with these people, it will be very difficult for us to hold on to our grain until May." After all, Yanchuan, Yanchang, and Mizhi have always been the main sources of our food because they are close to the Yellow River. And the precipitation some time ago has also seriously affected our food production. ”

Chairman Mao sighed and said, "The little devil is coming, and the natural disaster is also coming, okay, just come, we Red Party people are not afraid of anything, let's talk about what to do?" ”

Liu Jingfan said: "Can we buy some grain from the white area? After all, is this the period of the anti-Japanese united front? ”

Chairman Mao looked back at Jiang Cheng in embarrassment, most of the gold in the red zone was handed over to Jiang Cheng to buy things in the future, and now the stored precious metals are already the necessary reserves for the issuance of currency, and they can no longer be easily moved.

Chairman Mao shook his hand and said, "Do you have any other ideas?" ”

Lin Boqu said, "We must control food from now on, but the people usually save what they can, and they can't save much if they want to." ”

At the meeting, everyone discussed for a long time, and there was no good way, after all, if there is nothing, there is nothing, and you can't change it if you want to.

After the meeting, Jiang Cheng and Chairman Mao came to Chairman Mao's cave together. saw that Sister He was also inside.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly greeted him, and Sister He nodded and said to Chairman Mao, "Chairman, I am going to Xi'an for treatment." ”

Jiang Cheng looked at Chairman Mao and said, "Chairman, why don't I go out first." ”

Chairman Mao was anxious for this drought at this time, where did he want Jiang Cheng to go out, and said directly to Sister He, "Zizhen, what's wrong with your health?" Why do you suddenly need to be treated in Xi'an? ”

Sister He looked at the floor and said, "I'm going to take out the shrapnel from my body, Chairman, I've thought about it seriously, my body has a great impact on my work, and I can work better after removing the shrapnel." ”

Jiang Cheng immediately understood that this was the key point in the relationship between Chairman Mao and Sister He, once Sister He left Yan'an, she would never come back, and the person behind her would definitely take advantage of it.

Jiang Cheng immediately said, "We can also do this operation now, Sister He, don't go, this time we have a lot of experts, including medical experts, and now our medical level is among the best in the country." ”

Sister He hesitated, and Chairman Mao also said, "Gui Yuan (He Xiaoming), 203 is right, you are obedient, I still have very important things to say with 203, you go out first, and I will come to you later." ”

Sister He nodded and went out.

Jiang Cheng continued: "Chairman, I have some ideas on the issue of grain, although there is no money in the border area, I have a large amount of silver and foreign exchange, and I can buy a large amount of grain to come to the border area. In particular, there is a surplus of food in the United States, and the food is not too sensitive, so it is still easy to buy. It may be more troublesome to transport, after all, the skins of foreigners can only be worn to the Yellow River, and the road after the Yellow River will have to be walked by ourselves. Domestic grain can also be purchased from wealthier places such as Wuhan. ”

Chairman Mao clapped his hands and applauded, "That's what I mean when I call you, so that we can solve our temporary urgency." However, this is still a symptom rather than a root cause, and continuing to increase investment in rural work and infrastructure construction is the root cause, Xiao Jiang, you tell me about the practices of future generations in this regard. ”

Jiang Cheng said embarrassedly, "I haven't been in the countryside much, but it's nothing more than diligent water conservancy and intensive cultivation of good seeds." ”

Chairman Mao stood up and sighed, "These eight words are simple, but it is not easy to do, there are a few experts who come this time are agricultural experts, I want them to organize research on the problem of improved seeds, Xiao Jiang, you bring some books in this area from the next generation, and we will take a detour in the province." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded, and the two chatted until late at night. (To be continued......)
