After Pei Jiesan hurried back to the gendarmerie, he immediately sent his henchmen to find Mr. Zhu, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and brought a letter from him.

While his henchmen were going to do this, Pei Jiesan thoughtfully racked his brains and wrote two reports, one was an investigation report on the assassination of the emperor's envoy, it was said that it was a case sent by the military commander, the assassin caught one on the spot, the injury was too serious to be rescued, there were seized pistols, bicycles and other objects, and the other criminals had fled Baoding, and it was reported that they may have sneaked back to Beiping and Tianjin.

The second report is a summary report from Baoding these days, which uses completely Chinese-style dark science, and pushes the series of cases that have occurred to the gendarmerie and secret services in Baoding, saying that their internal management is not strict, the quality of personnel is uneven, and discipline is lax.

The first report was sent to Mogawa Daisa, and the second report was submitted to the Intelligence Department of the North China Front.

The reason for this is very simple, wash yourself as soon as possible, and leave Baoding as soon as possible, the place of right and wrong, Pei Jiesan's abacus is very shrewd, saying that the military commander has resumed the activities of Beiping and Tianjin, so he will be transferred back, because he is too familiar with Pingjin and other places!

After the report was written, he immediately sent someone to seal it and send it to Beiping overnight, and at this time, the henchman who was sent to find Mr. Zhu also returned, saying that Mr. Zhu had read his letter and said nothing before sending him off.

Ooh! This old guy still doesn't buy it! Pei Jiesan hinted in the letter that Mr. Zhu should come forward and go to the gendarmerie to discuss the release of the devil, and he secretly helped and asked the devil to release the person by collecting a ransom.

The plan is very good. But as soon as I came up, I hit a soft nail. I don't know what this old man thinks!

In fact, he didn't know what to do. That Mr. Zhu is also an old man, how can he accept this kind of unexpected pie in the world at once, not to mention that the identity of the other party is a high-level traitor of the devil, so after reading the letter, he only sent the person away, and didn't say anything.

Mr. Zhu wants to think about it and go to the gendarmerie tomorrow to find out. If the devil really has the intention of relenting, then immediately gather the colleagues of the Chamber of Commerce and redeem the person as soon as possible.

This Zhao Mansion is preparing for the funeral the next day, Mr. Zhu is thinking about the people in prison all night, Yang Bangzi is lying on the kang of the villager's house, turning over and can't sleep, Pei Jiesan is gathering two of his most confidant subordinates to discuss things overnight, and a group of people don't want to sleep tonight!

That was Regiment Commander Xiao and Section Chief Yang in the Luxi Base Field, and they reported the news of taking the Xiyuan Temple stronghold to Commander Yang on the radio, and it didn't take long for a while. Commander Yang called back and briefly praised the results of the team. Remind Section Chief Yang that there is an internal line intelligence that a large number of arms and materials have arrived at Baoding Station, and see if he can get some of the most scarce materials in the first division.

Grain? No, this will not be the most difficult time in Hebei, when the grain cannot be transported into the mountains. Cotton? It's not, it's about to start spring, what are you doing with cotton!

What is most lacking in the next division at the moment is bullets! You can't imagine it! The first sub-district that had the most bullets before the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region also urgently needed to get some bullets from the enemy!

Why is it said that the supply of bullets in the past of the 1st Division was the best in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region? Let's start with a few short stories.

In 1939, several cadres from Yan'an were ordered to train in a sub-district, and from the students who graduated from Kang Da to the local sub-district, they were generally assigned to be responsible for a specific task.

As the "cadres who can go to the battlefield" as their superiors say, they were assigned to the local sub-district supply offices to follow the instructions and distribute a half-new barge gun and more than 30 rounds of ammunition to these new anti-university members. The shell gun is "made in Hanyang", and the leather holster is not the "made in Taiyuan" of the wooden gun box that people favored at that time. The bullets were counted in one round, and it was originally thirty, but because Commander Yang cherished the students, he rewarded a few more rounds.

At the same time, he told him: save some use when fighting, and there will be no more when you run out. Two years later, this group of trainees was transferred to the Shandong Military Region to serve as battalion and company machine cadres, and the supply department there reissued shell guns and bullets, but the number of bullets was only 20.

It is said that at that time, each soldier of the 1st Divisional Guard Company was often equipped with 200 rounds of ammunition. It's not that there are 200 rounds at a time, but there are always so many on the body, and if you don't hit it, you will make up for this number immediately!

During the entire eight-year period of the Anti-Japanese War, the ammunition of the entire Eighth Route Army was very scarce, and the main weapons and ammunition had to be obtained from the capture on the battlefield. However, only in the war of annihilation and the pulling out of strongholds will there be a relatively thorough battlefield capture, and the rest of the battlefield captures in any battle that cannot completely annihilate the enemy will be negligible.

The position of the First Division in the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is rather special, because it was composed of the only independent regiment of the main force in the pioneering period of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, so before 1939, the three main regiments of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were all from the First Division.

The more the main regiment, the more opportunities there are for big battles, and the more captures there are. Therefore, the troops of the first division are getting richer and richer, their weapons and equipment are better than those of other units, and each soldier is equipped with more bullets. However, as many as 200 rounds of ammunition for each soldier, this is definitely because of the special care given by Commander Yang, not every main force in a division can enjoy it.

Looking at the soldiers of the Japanese devils who had more bullets at that time, the daily bullet equipment was 120 rounds (two leather bullet boxes in front of the waist, each containing 30 rounds; a large leather bullet box behind the waist for 60 rounds; Therefore, every time a devil is killed in wartime, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army first go to the bullet box of the devil), and the bullet equipment reaches 200 rounds when the war is ready.

This means that of all the units in the 1st Division, only the guard companies directly subordinate to the 1st Division Command are entitled to the same supply of ammunition as the Japanese Army. The rest of the divisional troops, whether they are the main forces or the local units, are far from having this qualification.

Unlike the Japanese Army, the Eighth Route Army enjoyed both daily and wartime bullet standards. The standard of ammunition enjoyed by the Eighth Route Army was the distribution of captures after each battle. After 1940, the 1st Division established its own arsenal, which was mainly engaged in three main tasks: assembling homemade grenades and mines, repairing damaged weapons of the various units, and making ammunition from waste shells recovered from the various units as much as possible.

The bullets manufactured by the Eighth Route Army Arsenal were called "second-tank goods" by the troops in those years, and not only did they not have a long range and little lethality, but they also often encountered "stinks" that could not be hit. According to veteran comrades, the new bullets seized by the Supply Department of the 1st Division were distributed in conjunction with the self-made bullets for the ammunition supply issued by the Supply Department of the 1st Division to the supply offices of the regiments. The number of grenades seized was very small, and the grenades that were issued to the troops were basically homemade. It can be seen that in the summary of the Japanese army after the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, it is recorded that the Eighth Route Army "is extremely rich in grenades, but they are crude products".

This time, Commander Yang personally called to ask if he could get some bullets back, and it seemed that the captured inventory of the first division was also exhausted! Compared with food and cloth, if a combat unit has a problem with bullets, then it is a big problem!

The first sub-district is close to Pinghan Road, and there are intelligence officers and intelligence systems set up by the sub-divisions near the main stations of the Japanese army, and the secret traffic stations and underground organizations in Baoding are under the leadership of the Northern Bureau, and the information they get is basically reported to the Northern Bureau and the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, but in many cases, the information that the military region has not yet obtained, the first sub-district has already obtained it first!

The first division noticed the information that the devils had brought in a large number of supplies, and after 41 years of almost a year-round battle, the troops' ammunition consumption was too great, and it was impossible to meet the troops by relying only on the intermittent supplies in the arsenal.

As for the news of the devil's hoarding of supplies, Commander Yang has already judged that he may be preparing for the next sweeping operation, and it is very likely that he will launch a large-scale attack on the northwest region of Hebei, so it is absolutely necessary to reserve more ammunition before the war!
