Chen Ronggui was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I don't want to be a soldier!" As soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that there was a person standing in front of him who could be killed and killed, for fear of colliding with this person who would lead to death, so he begged again: "Sir, just let go of the amount, don't want the reward for fighting devils, just ask you to let go of the amount!" ”

Zheng Weiguo patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, I don't want you to be a soldier, you don't have to go to the front line, and I will give you a big official to do!" ”

Chen Ronggui was stunned and said, "Sir, but you don't know anything, you can only farm!" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I know the truth, so after you go to Ping'an County, you are responsible for leading the villagers to open up wasteland and farm land, engage in production and construction, and you don't have to worry about anything else." ”

Chen Ronggui was slightly surprised, and said: "Sir, don't coax your forehead every day, how can there be an official in the world who takes the lead in farming?" ”

Zheng Weiguo turned around and smiled at the big guy, and said, "That's right, there wasn't before!" But you've been here since then! Seeing that Chen Ronggui was still hesitating, he took another dose of fierce medicine and said, "As long as you are willing to go, a piece of ocean a month, and another eighty acres of fertile land will be given to you!" ”

In this era, land is the lifeblood of farmers. When he heard that there were eighty acres of fertile land, Chen Ronggui was stunned, and said continuously: "Okay, good, dry front!" Sir, this job is done! ”

Zheng Weiguo said happily: "Okay, then we will make up our minds." Do you have any other requirements? If you have one, just bring it up. ”

Chen Ronggui hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, no." Sir! ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Okay, pillar, give Chen Zhuangshi twenty oceans for moving." Chen Zhuangshi, you go home and pack up and come back immediately, don't delay the time for the troops to travel. ”

Chen Ronggui was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhuzi secretly asked Zheng Weiguo and said, "Shizuo, why do you value a peasant so much?" Who wouldn't know how to farm the land, so I have to ask him to take the lead? ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "This is not an ordinary farmer, you will know the Tao in the future!" ”

In the future, it will not only be bullets that will determine the fate of North China. And grain. In a way. Food is even more important than bullets. Historically, the Eighth Route Army almost went hungry. But where does the food come from? Snatching alone will certainly not work. If you want to gain a foothold in North China Station, you must be self-reliant and expand production.

The question is how can production be expanded? The western part of Hebei is mountainous and has been predatory for thousands of years. The ecological environment of the Taihang Mountains has been seriously damaged. Every year, there are droughts, waterlogs, and mudslides of varying degrees. Food production is extremely low. Not to mention that there is still a war. If you want to feed the army, even if you don't fight, the common people are too poor to open the pot.

The only way to change this situation is to carry out ecological transformation. Increase grain production and expand arable area. It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to do. What's more, it's still a time of war, so there must be an extraordinary person to do extraordinary things.

Zheng Weiguo hoped that with the help of Chen Ronggui's spirit of changing the world and the earth, he would carry out a vigorous large-scale production movement in western Hebei and lay a solid foundation for the coming difficult period.

After the celebration meeting, the distribution of materials on Chief of Staff Zhou's side was also negotiated, and both sides took what they needed, and naturally everyone was happy. Chief of Staff Zhou took out a list of seizures and handed it to Zheng Weiguo, saying, "Please take a look!" ”

Zheng Weiguo took a look and saw that it read: 12 Type 38 field guns (8 are seriously damaged, 4 can be repaired), 2 cavalry guns (available), 8 Type 41 mountain guns (2 available, 2 can be repaired, and 4 are seriously damaged), 6 Type 94 rapid-fire guns (4 are available, 2 are to be repaired), 8 Type 92 infantry guns (2 are available, 4 are to be repaired, and 2 are seriously damaged), 12 Type 97 mortars (four are available, six are to be repaired, and two are seriously damaged), and heavy machine guns ......

There are light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, etc., Zheng Weiguo took a look at it and put it away, and said: "I took a look, the artillery is basically ours, and the 129th Division has no opinion, right?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "No, you can rest assured!" He also explained: "Most of these cannons were shot down by us alone, not in the joint seizure materials." Besides, there is actually no shortage of artillery in the Eighth Road, what they lack is cannonballs, so it is not very useful to get them back! ”

When the Eighth Route Army first entered Shanxi, it really picked up a lot of cannons, mainly thrown into the river by Yan Laoxi'er's troops. Later, Balu said that he wanted to return it to Lao Xi'er, and Lao Xi'er did a favor, only asked the wild cannon to return to his business, and gave all the mountain artillery to Balu. This is the origin of the artillery regiment of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, that's good!" Always be satisfied with both parties, and only then can we have long-term cooperation in the future. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said, "Yes, Shiza!" He pointed to the cannon lurking in the distance and smiled: "Master, we have a bumper harvest this time!" Director Guo is afraid that he will wake up laughing when he dreams at night! ”

Zheng Weiguo also smiled happily and said, "Well, the artillery regiment can be enriched with several companies, and it has finally begun to take shape." When the fighters are trained, we can directly use artillery fire to talk to the enemy! ”

Then he asked, "How is that loot now, it's not making trouble, is it?" Don't let this gold ingot fall into our hands! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "It's okay! That guy was a little confused at first, but now he is much better, he can eat and sleep every day, and he lives happily! ”

Zheng Weiguo scolded with a smile and said, "This heartless guy! You should confirm the escort with the general seat as soon as possible, but don't report the specific route, or report a fake one! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said in surprise: "Are you worried that there are Japanese spies around the headquarters?" ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said: "It's hard to say that the spy is a spy, but the counter-espionage ability of the national army is too poor, and I am worried that the telegram or something will be intercepted by the Japanese army!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou nodded and said, "Well, that's good, I'll go and prepare immediately, and then send the loot away overnight, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ”

Zheng Weiguo asked again: "Did the general seat say when the materials will arrive?" Our battle has consumed a lot of ammunition, and we can't replenish it in time! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said with some embarrassment: "The general seat has been urged, and the Military Commission said that it is necessary to stick to Xuzhou for now and buy time for the Wuhan war." The materials in the near future must be transferred to Xuzhou first, and Shanxi can only postpone it! Chief He also suggested that the Second World War Zone should distribute a batch first, but the warehouses in the Second War Zone could not even hide the rats, so where did the materials come from? ”

Zheng Weiguo's face darkened suddenly, and he said, "Those fools of the Military Commission! Xuzhou is a horse and a flat river, how to keep it? The elite of the national army must be defeated in the hands of this group of people! ”

Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly whispered: "Shhh Master, don't talk nonsense about this. I heard that the Military Commission is also against holding Xuzhou, and the commission was stimulated by the victory of Taierzhuang, and insisted on defending it! ”

Zheng Weiguo couldn't help but scold, and said: "Damn, after the Battle of Xuzhou, there will be the Battle of Wuhan again, so won't our arms be yellow?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Division, don't worry, the general seat has already promised to help us get a batch of ammunition." In addition, the Military Commission also agreed to the purchase of another batch of arms from the Soviet Union, but we have to pay for it ourselves! They can help us talk! ”

Zheng Weiguo suddenly turned cloudy and said: "Oh, then did the Soviet side agree?" What kind of supplies can be bought? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said regretfully: "The Soviet side is very tight, and only agreed to get a batch of light weapons, and the quantity is not much, which is really unpleasant!" ”

Zheng Weiguo snorted coldly and said: "Lao Maozi is afraid that China will not be able to hold on and let Japan sit big, and he is afraid that there will be too many weapons sold and Japan will be annoyed, so arms transactions are always deducted." ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled bitterly: "But right now, only they are willing to sell us weapons!" He also said: "Master, I asked too much, although we have earned a lot of money, but the expenses are also large, even if the Soviets are willing to sell us weapons, we can't come up with much money!" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded heavily and said, "When this happens, I'll go to Tianjin and find a way to get some money back!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou frowned and said, "Master, this is too risky. Japan has been stationed in Tianjin since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and its strength is quite strong openly and secretly, and it is already the head snake there! Let's take a long-term view! ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Don't worry, I won't do anything that I'm not sure of!" Your side should also step up and sell as many captured supplies and captives as possible. Don't look at the poverty of the national army, the military leaders still have some floating wealth in their hands. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "You can rest assured of this!" I have worked in various departments of the national army for so many years, what do I not know? But the most important thing at the moment is the loot, if this business is completed, our division's military spending in the second half of the year will be settled! ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, that's good, you go and prepare quickly." Master Liu asked me to discuss the next step of the plan, and I had to go there. ”

In the evening of the same day, Zhang Changgui secretly left the station with a small team of more than 30 people. Carrying mysterious loot, they headed south along the road overnight. Then, accompanied by the cadres of the 129th Division, he quickly passed through the base area and rushed all the way to the county seat of Yuanqu (the former enemy headquarters in the Second War Zone). In the meantime, it is very dangerous to pass through the enemy's war zone and some three-way areas.

The treasure escorted in the team was not a thing, but a Japanese officer, Major General Tomomedi, the commander of the 104th Brigade. After capturing this person in the first battle of Guanjiayuan, Division Commander Liu suggested that it should not be made public at first, so as not to intercept it by the Japanese army.

Zheng Weiguo got in touch with Chief Wei again, intending to exchange a few rewards, but he didn't expect to attract great attention from the national government, and even sent Boss Dai and the Air Force to Luoyang to respond. To say that a major general brigade commander is so heavy? Of course!

In the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the highest Japanese officer captured alive was only a captain - Shigeru Shibayama, the captain of the 65th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Infantry Garrison! When he was flying over the Eighth Route Base Area, he was hit by a sharpshooter and became a prisoner after a forced landing. This was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and the National Army was even worse, only two squadron leaders were captured.

Now that there is finally a great victory in Taierzhuang and a great victory in the southeast of Jindong to support the scene, of course, the government must publicize it well. First, it is to encourage the fighting voice of the people, and secondly, it is also to suppress the arrogance of the capitulation faction within the Artillery Party. It is said that Wang is jumping up and down these days, but he is very restless. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
