Chapter 369: Rounding to Zero

For the next ten days, the militia in Gujiayu and two other villages began to enter cold gun mode, and there were snipers from the Wolf Warrior Squadron to guide them on the spot.

Because there is on-site guidance from the Wolf Warrior Squadron,

The marksmanship of the village militia improved rapidly.

On the first night, the militia of the village consumed an average of one bullet, and the results were zero.

On the second night, the militia of the village consumed an average of two rounds of ammunition, and the results were zero.

On the third night, the militia of the five villages consumed a total of 50 rounds of ammunition and killed two devils.

On the fourth night, the militia of Liucun consumed a total of 100 rounds of bullets and killed and wounded 10 devils.

In the first two nights, in order to paralyze the devils, the wolf warriors did not make a move.

But on the third and fourth nights, the Wolf Warriors suddenly joined and killed more than 100 devils.

Therefore, from the fifth night, the devil learned a lesson and changed the night guard in the forward position to a dark post, and the wolf warriors and the village soldiers also changed from night activities to cold guns during the day.

On the fifth day, the militia of Jiucun consumed 100 rounds of bullets, killing and wounding three devils and one themselves.

On the sixth day, a total of 10 village militia teams participated in the cold shooting, killing and wounding nine devil sentries, two of their own deaths, and six minor injuries.

On the seventh day, as the first blockade ditch was closed, the militia of the outermost eighteen villages all joined in, fighting the devils day and night.

But the devil also learned to be obedient after suffering a loss.

Day or night, the devil sentries easily stop showing their heads.

Therefore, the militia in each village can only wait for a few hours or even half a day to wait for a momentary opportunity, and only then can they have sporadic gains.

The situation is stalemate.

It is difficult for the militia teams in the villages to achieve decent results.

But the devils did not enter the village again to sweep.

Clearly, the heavy losses of the first day taught them a profound lesson.

After reaching the eighth, the people were divided into two groups, one group went five kilometers forward to dig the second blockade ditch, and the other group began to dig a deep trench around the village.

The devil also divided half of the soldiers,

Establish a forward position outside the second blockade ditch.

The width of the deep trench around the village is more than 10 meters, and the depth is more than 6 meters.

However, the total length of the encirclement is not long, and even for larger villages, a two-kilometre-long encirclement is enough to enclose the entire village.

By the eleventh day, most of the deep trenches around the village in Gujiayu had been dug.

At this time, the three tunnels leading from Gujiayu to the outside of the village had been dug up, and only the last passage to Dagu Town had not been dug up.

At this time, the Wolf Warrior Squadron must be evacuated.

The ten-meter-wide and six-meter-deep trench around the village may not be able to trap the Wolf Warrior Squadron, but there is no need to take risks at this unnecessary time, in case it is discovered by the devil's secret sentry when climbing over the deep trench, it is possible to cause heavy losses with just one firepower, even if it is only the loss of a Wolf Warrior member, it is not cost-effective.

"Captain Gu, I'm afraid we'll have to go." Wang Ye said goodbye to Gu Zidi.

The militiamen of Guzidi and Gujiayu were a little reluctant, and after more than ten days of fighting side by side, the two sides had formed a deep friendship, especially the wolf squadron had taught them a lot.

"Counselor Wang, our people are too stupid to let you down."

Gu Zi said: "But please rest assured, we will fight the devil to the end." ”

"Captain Gu, be humble, your progress is actually very fast, but the devil is not a fool, and he is also improving."

Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "After we leave, you must be careful, although there is a high probability that the devil will not enter the village again to sweep, but you must also be careful." ”

"Especially to tell the villagers,"

"Don't come up during the day."

"You can only go up to the ground at night to breathe."

Gu Zi nodded and said, "I'll tell you." ”

Wang Ye said again: "There are still bullets to be calculated." ”

"I know." Gu Zi nodded, "At least half of the bullets are set aside for the final counterattack." ”

After a pause at this, Gu Zidi asked again: "However, Staff Officer Wang, when will the main force of the regiment be able to launch a counteroffensive?" ”

"It's early August."

Wang Ye said: "I estimate that the devil's sweep time this time is about three months, and now half a month has passed, that is, there are still two and a half months, so if nothing else, the main force will counterattack in late October!" ”

While speaking, Wang Ye faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it.

"Huh? Until late October? Gu Zidi said with some disappointment, "The autumn grain will not be harvested in time." ”

"Autumn grain?" Wang Ye's heart suddenly sank when he heard this, and he finally knew that something was wrong, it was autumn grain!

After the deep trenches around the village were closed, the villagers and militia of each village were completely trapped in the tunnels inside the village, and they could not even get out of the deep trenches of the surrounding villages, let alone harvest crops in the fields outside the village.

Soybeans, sweet potatoes and buds planted in the ground are all cheap.

Originally, autumn grain is cheap and devils are cheap, and it's not a big deal.

Because both the Wohu Mountain Base Area and the Jiugong Mountain Base Area will usher in a bumper harvest this year, and the summer grain harvest in the Fuliang Mountain Base Area is also good, it can completely survive this difficult time.

But not now, because now the devils in Shanxi are short of food.

The problem of food shortage in Shanxi was even more serious than the shortage of ammunition.

Let's just say that this counter-sweep, their only chance for the Fuliang Mountain base area is that the devils are forced to withdraw from the army when they run out of food, if all the autumn grain in the entire Fuliang Mountain base area is given to the devils, the second guard division will no longer have the problem of food shortage, then the devils may blockade the Fuliang Mountain base area for half a year!

However, the Fuliang Mountain base will definitely not last for half a year!

Even if the soldiers and militia of the independent regiment can hold on, the 200,000 people in the base area will not be able to hold on, and if there is no food from outside to bring in, the people will have to run out of food for four months at most!

Wang Ye's face fell, this was really dark under the lamp.

But fortunately, there is not no room for recovery.

Moreover, crises and crises always bring opportunities.

If you can make good use of it, you may be able to do something good.

If nothing else, at least one thing is certain, and the devil certainly didn't think of it either.

Because the land in the northwest of Jin is barren and famine breaks out almost every year, the devil will not think about raising food from here at all.

The key point is that the "D Operation Plan" they obtained did not mention at all that they wanted to snatch the autumn grain in the Fuliang mountainous area.

At that moment, Wang Ye nodded and said: "Most of the autumn grain will not be harvested in time, but you don't have to worry, the group will find a way to help you get through this difficulty." ”

Gu Zidi snapped upright: "Staff Officer Wang take care." ”

"Take care!" Wang Ye and the wolf warriors also stood up and saluted.

After leaving Gujiayu from the tunnel, Wang Ye asked Duan Peng and them to go to Dagu Town to meet the three camps first, while he himself rode directly from the ground and returned to Fuliang Mountain at a speed.

……

At this time, it was in Ping'an County.

Divisional headquarters of the 2nd Guards Division.

Kamegawa Kiyoshi pointed to the sand table and said to Miyano Michiichi: "Division commander, please see, the three hundred and eighty pillboxes and strongholds along the first blockade ditch in the Fuliang Mountain bandit area have all been built. ”

"The second blockade ditch has also been dug halfway."

"More than 60 villages between the first and second blockade ditches have also been basically surrounded by deep trenches around the village, and the tunnels leading to the outside world have been basically dug up."

"These more than 60 villages have basically become isolated islands."

"The Tubalu and Zhina people trapped in these villages can't get out."

"And because the activity area is narrow, the entire village is within the fire coverage of the encircled bunkers, so the people of Tubalu and Zhina only dare to come out at night to move."

"In the long run, the people of China will definitely collapse."

"And their food is also limited, if they don't surrender, they can only starve to death on the isolated island!"

"What's more, most of the ring trench bunkers have also been repaired, so I won't be afraid of cold shots at night on the dirt roads in the future."

"Hey, don't be careless." Miyano Dao waved his hand and said, "I still have to order the garrison to strengthen the guard, and there must not be the slightest negligence until the final victory is achieved." ”

"Hello." Kamegawa Kiyoshi paused.

"Now, though, there's a new problem. ”

"The second blockade ditch is not far from Dagu Town, Qingyun Town and Lijia Town."

"These three towns are large in area and have a large population, and if nothing else, there must be heavy defenses on the Tuba Road."

"According to the proposed plan, these three towns can also not be stormed, but can only be surrounded by deep trenches around the town, but the problem is that these three towns are too big and have a large population."

"Then there are a lot of dirt roads hidden in the tunnels."

"Therefore, if you only use a blockade trench, you may not be able to blockade it."

"In case the main force moves forward, the dirt roads hidden in these three towns come out to make trouble, then not only will the deep trench around the town itself be threatened, but even the first five-fold blockade ditch will be in trouble."

"So what I mean is that the countryside in the Fuliang Mountain Bandit District can be left alone,"

"However, the three market towns of Dagu Town, Lijia Town, and Qingyun Town must be occupied, and even if they cannot be completely occupied, the underground combat system must be destroyed."

Miyano Michiichi's brow tightened.

Kamegawa Qing paused again and said, "Please think twice about the division commander." ”

Miyano Michiichi frowned and said: "But this will inevitably drag on for a long time, and we only have three months of supplies, and ammunition can be saved, but food cannot be saved." ”

Kamegawa Kiyoshi paused again and said, "But you can't leave hidden dangers." ”

"Okay." Michichi Miyano finally made up his mind and said, "Then give an order to the three mobile detachments, and give them seven days to destroy the tunnel network of Dagu Town, Qingyun Town, and Lijia Town." ”

"It's best to take full control of the surface before sending troops to seize part of the tunnel,"

"Then find a suitable explosion point, use enough high explosives to raze all three towns to the ground, and bury the tens of thousands of Na Diao people in the three towns forever!"

……

Fuliang Mountain Fortress, regimental headquarters.

Xing Zhiguo and Zhao Gang were discussing something softly.

Li Yunlong took a ruler and drew lines on the map.

As soon as he was halfway through the painting, Li Yunlong got up and said, "Erdan, you go and ask the telephone class, when will the phone be connected?" Damn, it's been so long and the line hasn't been laid. ”

"I'll go." Ge Erdan turned and ran away.

After a while, he came back and reported: "Commander, the phone has been connected. ”

Li Yunlong didn't say a word, picked up the phone and shook the handle again: "Pick me up Qingyun Town." ”

After a while, the phone was connected, and Li Yunlong said again: "Zhang Dabiao, what's the situation on your side?" ”

Zhang Dabiao's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Regiment commander, I am now at the forward observation post, and I can clearly see the forward position of the little devil." ”

"About a squad."

"But there's a big squad at the back of this squad."

"There is also a tank squadron plus an artillery brigade."

"The devil is clearly fishing, trying to lure us into attacking."

"However, I still decided to go out and bite them tonight, even if I can't eat the devil's team, at least I want to catch the devil's filial sons and grandsons."

"These bastards are so hateful."

Li Yunlong asked, "What filial son and grandson?" ”

Zhang Dabiao said: "It's the folk husband captured by the devil." ”

After a pause, he said: "These dogs are digging blockade ditches with their lives, fuck his grandmother, these bastards don't know what to think, and they are so hard to work for devils." ”

Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "No, Da Biao, don't mess around." ”

"The little devil is not a vegetarian, you just said that there is an artillery brigade and a tank squadron, and at this time they rushed up to bite the bait released by the devil, isn't that stupid?"

"No, there is no such thing in a war, you have to use your brain."

Zhang Dabiao said: "But the head of the regiment, those bastards are too hateful." ”

"Ignore them." Li Yunlong said, "There are times when they regret it." ”

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong said again: "Let me emphasize again, after the little devils launched an attack on Qingyun Town, your battalion will symbolically defend it, and then move as soon as possible, and the militia will also be transferred." ”

"Yes, I see." Zhang Dabiao responded, "Transfer as soon as possible." ”

Li Yunlong hung up the phone with confidence, and he was still relieved of Zhang Dabiao.

Then, when Li Yunlong was about to call Li Jiazhen again, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

Immediately, the surprised voices of Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo sounded: "Xiao Wang, why are you back?" ”

"Xiao Wang?" Li Yunlong turned around in astonishment, and really saw Wang Ye walking in, so he said, "Yes, shouldn't you be in Dagu Town?" How did you get back? Something went wrong? ”

"The head of the regiment, the political commissar, and the deputy head of the criminal regiment, there is a situation."

Wang Ye took a breath and said, "We have overlooked an important situation. ”

"What?" Li Yunlong said confusedly, "What important situation did we ignore?" ”

"Autumn grain!" Wang Ye said in a deep voice, "After we obtained the entire battle plan of the devils, we only cared about calculating their ammunition reserves and food reserves, but ignored the autumn grain!" ”

After a pause, he said: "Although our Fuliang Mountain base area is not the main grain producing area in Shanxi, and most of the crops are coarse grains such as sweet potatoes and bud grains, but in normal years, we can also collect more than 20 million catties of autumn grain, and this year is a rare harvest year, maybe we can collect more than 30 million catties of autumn grain!" ”

Fuliang Mountain covers an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers, with a population of nearly 200,000, and in ordinary years, the per capita harvest of autumn grain is about 100 catties, plus about 50 catties of summer grain per capita, and the annual per capita ration is about 150 catties.

"Autumn grain?!" Li Yunlong also reacted at once.

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo glanced at each other and said, "Lao Xing and I are still talking about this issue just now. ”

"yes." Xing Zhiguo nodded and said, "The devils dig deep trenches around each village, our militia can't come out, and the people can't come out, so there is no way to go up the mountain to collect food." ”

"But the devil forcibly conscripted more than 20,000 people, and it was easy to snatch the grain."

"Once the devils snatch away this food, even if we crush the devils' sweep, we will definitely starve to death many people this year, and the losses will be great."

Zhao Gang said: "The key is that after the devils steal the grain, they can be blocked for a longer time, and we have no chance to smash the devils' sweep." ”

Li Yunlong's face completely collapsed.

Wang Ye blamed himself and said: "This is mainly to blame for my poor consideration." ”

Zhao Gang waved his hand and said, "Xiao Wang, how can I blame you for this?" When we got the information, the devil's sweep had already officially begun, and it didn't give us much time at all, so it was inevitable that some negligence would be there, not to mention what if it was considered at the time? There isn't much we can think of. ”

Xing Zhiguo frowned and said, "But you have to find a way to remedy it, right?" ”

"Remedy? How can this be remedied? You can't destroy the food, can you? ”

Li Yunlong said helplessly: "If we really destroy the grain, the people must not hate us to death?" ”

"It's definitely not okay to destroy it." Xing Zhiguo said, "You can't do such a thing as wasting food at any time. ”

"So what do you say?" Li Yunlong was in a bad mood again, and began to curse again, "Damn, you will only say that this is not good, that is not good, you have come up with a way?" ”

Xing Zhiguo's face turned black instantly, but he still couldn't help but didn't reply.

Wang Ye said: "Commander, there is only one way to try it now. ”

"Damn, I knew Xiao Wang, you had a way." Li Yunlong perked up, and said, "What way?" ”

"Completely break it down to zero." Wang Ye said, "There is no need to defend the fortress of Fuliang Mountain, and the main forces of the whole regiment are scattered to various villages in squads. ”

"What do you say? Completely reduced to zero? ”

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo were all stunned.

This is a far cry from the operational guidelines they had set before.

The previous guideline was that the main force of the regiment relied on the fortress of Fuliang Mountain, the main force of the 2nd Guards Division was firmly attracted to the fortress of Fuliang Mountain, and the militia teams of each village relied on the tunnels to defend their own villages and villages.

When three months pass, the devil's food will run out, and he will naturally get out.

But now there is an autumn grain problem, and this road will not work.

Because if you do this again, before the devil's military rations run out, the people in the Fuliang Mountain base area will first eat up the food and starve to death in the tunnels.
