Shi Jue didn't dare to dispose of Chu Yunfei easily, so he could only send a telegram to Tang Enbo.

When Tang Enbo received Shi Jue's telegram, he had already arrived in Chongqing by steamer.

On his return to Chongqing this time, Tang Enbo came back on Chang Kaishen's orders, first, to report on the disaster situation in Henan, and second, to report on his work, and to emphasize to Chang Kaishen the difficulties faced by the First War Zone.

After receiving the telegram from Shi Jue, Tang Enbo was immediately half angry.

It is not for nothing that the people of Henan call Tang Enbo and floods, droughts, and locust plagues as water and drought locust soup.

The great famine in Henan in 1942 definitely had a credit to Tang Enbo.

So how did Tang Enbo's looting of Henan come about? It was achieved through henchmen like Shang Tianliang and white gloves like Tian Sibao, and there was a clear division of labor between the two, with henchmen like Shang Tianliang responsible for looting the officers and soldiers of the troops, and white gloves like Tian Sibao being responsible for looting the people of Henan.

With the gold-lettered signboard of "President Chang's proud protégé", Tang Enbo's tentacles have extended to every city in Henan, and Xingyang, as an important town in central Henan, is naturally no exception.

But now as soon as Chu Yunfeifu arrived, he first shot Shang Tianliang, the quartermaster of the 89th Division, who had already taken refuge in him, and then arrested all the grain merchants in Xingyang City headed by Tian Sibao, and wanted to be tried publicly? What does he Chu Yunfei want to do? Is he trying to rebel? Does he still have me, the deputy commander-in-chief, in his eyes?

At that moment, Tang Enbo quickened his pace and prepared to sue in front of Chang Kaishen.

As Chang Kaishen's proud protégé, Tang Enbo knows very well that the honor and disgrace of their protégés are all tied to Chang Kaishen, in the final analysis, as long as you can get Chang Kaishen's favor, you are a wine bag and a rice bag can still be in a high position, you just eat empty pay and drink the blood of soldiers, and it is nothing to make the people's livelihood of a province thousands of miles away.

So on the other hand, if you don't get Chang Kaishen's favor, you just have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, you are playing flowers on the battlefield, and you can't be reused if you defeat the Japanese army, and you can only be used as cannon fodder, for example, Liang Gang, the brigade commander of the 94th Independent Brigade, won't he be cannon fodder?

Therefore, don't look at him Tang Enbo is the deputy commander-in-chief of the dignified theater of operations, and Chu Yunfei is just a small division commander, but according to the officialdom ecology of the party-state, he Tang Enbo really can't use his own strength to win Chu Yunfei, if he wants to overthrow Chu Yunfei, if he wants to drive Chu Yunfei out of the Thirteenth Army, he must use the principal.

Therefore, it is necessary to first break the principal's favor in Chu Yunlong.

Then, Chu Yunfei could only let him Tang Enbo handle it.

I went to Yunxiu Lou to meet Chang Kaishen, first focused on the difficulties faced by the first war zone, and then briefly explained the disaster situation in Henan, which is now thousands of miles away, tens of millions of people have been displaced, and millions of people have starved to death in the wilderness, but in Tang Enbo's mouth, it is only a small-scale famine.

It's just that a small number of people in a few counties have run out of food.

Moreover, the provincial government and the First War Zone are already providing food for disaster relief.

Although Chang Kaishen knew that Tang Enbo was talking nonsense, he didn't debunk it.

The reason is also very simple, once there is a problem, Chang Kaishen wants to plug other people's mouths with Tang Enbo's words, You can't say that I don't care about the disaster in Henan, I really don't know, because Tang Enbo told me that there is no disaster in Henan at all, so I was also deceived and I don't know.

This is the same as Cao Cao's method of borrowing Wang Yuan's head to calm the army's heart.

Cao Cao had no military rations, so he could only borrow Wang Yuan's head to stabilize the army's morale, and Chang Kaishen couldn't get food for disaster relief, so he could only take Tang Enbo as a top bar if something happened, but he wouldn't kill Tang Enbo, at most he would reprimand him for a demote, and then wait for a few months to reinstate the official.

And it doesn't have to get there.

Politicians don't care if the people live or die at all.

"Okay, I got it." Chang Kaishen said, "Ember, you've worked hard. ”

"This is what students should do, let alone hard work." Tang Enbo bowed and whispered again, "Headmaster, there is another thing that students don't know whether to say or not?" ”

"You speak." Chang Kaishen said gently.

"Then the student will dare to say it bluntly." Tang Enbo whispered, "Although there is no large-scale famine in Henan at present, it is an indisputable fact that the food supply is very tight in both the people and the army, so in order to stabilize grain prices and avoid illegal acts of hoarding and raising prices, the students have the courage to issue orders to grain merchants in major cities in Henan, ordering them to sell grain at prices within the specified range. ”

After a pause, Tang Enbo continued: "However, the amount of grain in the hands of grain merchants is limited after all, and because of the meager profits, grain merchants are not willing to buy grain from other provinces, so it is inevitable that there will be a large-scale wave of store closures after a long time, which will eventually cause an artificial food shortage, so the students have the courage to take out a part of the military rations in reserve and sell them to stabilize the market." ”

As soon as he heard this, Chang Kaishen knew what was going on, it was nothing more than reselling military rations to make a profit, but Tang Enbo was stunned to say that it was to stabilize the market and avoid artificial food shortages.

However, Chang Kaishen didn't care about this, he felt that as long as it was not too excessive, a certain degree of corruption was tolerable, and if the water was clear, there would be no fish, and if people were observed, there would be no fugitives, and it was not advisable to be honest in the absolute sense.

At that time, Chang Kaishen said: "Enbo's move is a move by the old man to seek the country, and there is nothing inappropriate. ”

"But, but ......," Tang Enbo whispered, "Yunfei doesn't know if it was because of any misunderstanding of the students, or because he was deceived, he actually regarded the student's move as colluding with grain merchants to resell military rations, not only shot Shang Tianliang, the quartermaster of the 89th Division, who acted on orders, but also arrested all the grain merchants in Xingyang City, and it is said that there will be a public trial, and the assets of all grain merchants in Xingyang City will be confiscated, which is really ......."

"Is there such a thing?" Chang Kaishen was stunned when he heard this.

The heart said that Chu Yunfei, who was stunned, would really cause trouble for me.

Tang Enbo said again: "Yunfei's military ability is not to say, the students are also very impressed, this time the principal transferred him to the 13th Army as the commander of the 89th Division, the students also raised their hands to welcome, thinking that with this tiger general in our first war zone, we can break our wrists with Shigeda Desong, but the students did not expect this to happen." ”

After a pause, Tang Enbo said: "What should be done with the students, please ask the principal to show me." ”

Chang Kaishen pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, you go back first, and then I will investigate clearly and then telegraph to you how to deal with it, now that the national crisis is at hand, we still try not to chill the hearts of generals like Yunfei, do you understand?" ”

"Students understand." Tang Enbo said happily, "The students know that Yunfei is actually enthusiastic. ”

"It's good to understand." Chang Kaishen waved his hand and said, "Enbo, you go back first, and I'll ask you when you get back." ”

sent Tang Enbo away, Chang Kaishen called the third group again, and asked Tang Zong to send a telegram directly to the 89th Division, but Tang Zong came to his study first.

"Headmaster, there's an urgent call from the 89th Division." Tang Zong said respectfully.

"Yunfei's telegram?" Chang Kaishen was stunned, and reacted very quickly.

Tang Enbo just finished the complaint, and Chu Yunfei's private prosecution also followed?

Chang Kaishen felt a little tired, waved his hand and said, "Naijian, you say, what did Yunfei say on the telegram?" ”

Tang Zongdao: "Principal, Yun Fei said on the telegram that Shang Tianliang, the quartermaster of the 89th Division, and those grain merchants in Xingyang City have gone too far, and the ration quota set for the officers and soldiers of the 89th Division is only two or two meters per person per day. ”

"What?" Chang Kaishen's face immediately fell.

Chang Kaishen can tolerate a certain degree of corruption, but if he does this, he is challenging his bottom line, his bottom line is to at least let the officers and soldiers be able to barely fill their stomachs, the 89th Division is the Central Army, and even the officers and soldiers of the Central Army can only drink gruel that shows the shadows of people, so what about other local troops?

How much combat effectiveness can such an army maintain?

It is no wonder that the troops of the national army are always on the verge of collapse on the battlefield.

Chang Kaishen felt that he had discovered the reason for the low combat effectiveness of the national army, but when he found out, he could not do anything about it, because he was not capable of rectifying it at all.

The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

At that moment, Chang Kaishen sighed and said: "In this way, that Shang Tianliang and those grain merchants are all innocent of death?" ”

"It's definitely more than innocent." Tang Zong and Chu Yunfei didn't get along for a long time, that is, when the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in the northwest of Shanxi, Chu Yunfei was often called over by Chang Kaishen to help, so they had to work together for a while, but Tang Zong's impression of Chu Yunfei was very good.

So Tang Zong didn't mind saying a few good words for Chu Yunfei.

"Human nature is greedy, and Ember is probably kept in the dark by them." Chang Kaishen said.

Tang Zong remained silent about this, of course he knew that Tang Enbo would never be kept in the dark, but since the principal believed that he was innocent, there was no need to argue.

Isn't it stupid to argue with the principal?

Chang Kaishen said again: "Yun Fei is still young in the end, although his approach is good, but he is in a hurry, one careless will lead to a mutiny in the troops, he has no foundation in the 89th Division after all, but Shang Tianliang, Gou Yu'an and a few of them are deeply rooted in the 89th Division, I am afraid it is difficult to be good at this matter." ”

Chang Kaishen was even thinking about which army he wanted to transfer Chu Yunfei to?

However, Tang Zong smiled and said: "The principal is too worried, Yunfei has completely controlled the situation of the 89th Division, although there have been dozens of officers who tried to gather to make trouble, but they were all suppressed by him with thunderous means. ”

"Oh, really?" Chang Kaishen asked in surprise, "How did he control the 89th Division?" ”

Chang Kaishen was born in the military in the end, and he also led soldiers, so he knew that it was not easy to control the troops, and a division commander like Chu Yunfei who was parachuted in was easier to be overlooked.

Therefore, he was really curious, how did Chu Yunfei do it?

Tang Zong said with a smile: "Yun Fei said in the telegram that his method of controlling the 89th Division is very simple, that is, to let all the officers and soldiers of the division eat dry food, and then make up all the arrears!" ”

"After these two orders have been given,"

"Yunfei instantly won the sincere support of most of the officers and soldiers of the 89th Division."

"The dozens of officers who tried to gather a crowd to make trouble immediately became alone, and Yun Fei cleared them out of the 89th Division without much effort."

"It's that simple?" Chang Kaishen was a little unconvinced.

Tang Zong sighed lightly and said, "It's as simple as that. ”

Chang Kaishen's expression became serious: "Could it be that the troops on the front line really can't eat or receive pay?" But the party-state has obviously given enough military salaries and enough military rations! ”

Tang Zong had no way to answer this, so he could only choose to remain silent.

But here's the thing, if you don't resell military rations and don't embezzle military salaries, is that still the national army? How many of the senior generals of the national army are not filling their pockets? After all, generals like Chu Yunfei are only a few.

……

Xingyang, where the 89th Division was stationed.

It was lunchtime, and there was a popping sound in the courtyard of the barracks.

However, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the 89th Division were drinking porridge on the head of the miscellaneous grain nest.

Although it is still two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, compared with before Chu Yunfei came, the food of the 89th Division has improved a lot.

Before, it was absolutely impossible to have a multigrain nest.

The porridge is also so rare that it can take a look at the figure, and as soon as I finish drinking, I am hungry again, just like if I didn't drink it.

But since Chu Yunfei came, the porridge was so thick that it could stand up to chopsticks, and each person also had four miscellaneous grains, and he could even get a small plate of pickles every three or five times, which was fragrant.

The officers and soldiers of the 89th Division were eating, and there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside.

Immediately, a voice sounded: "The master has arrived!" ”

Hearing that Chu Yun had arrived, the officers and soldiers who were eating hurriedly got up and stood upright.

When he turned his head to look, he saw Chu Yunfei walking in surrounded by several senior officers such as Chief of Staff Fang Ligong.

"Master! Division! Division! The officers and soldiers nearby stood up one after another and saluted Chu Yunfei, and it could be seen that these officers and soldiers all respected Chu Yunfei from the bottom of their hearts.

Seriously, these big-headed soldiers are really not very demanding.

As long as they have two dry meals a day and are paid on time, they will be grateful to Dade.

Chu Yunfei returned the salute one by one, and when he met the officers and soldiers he knew, he would whisper a few words, which was a routine operation.

After a round of inspection, Chu Yunfei returned to the center of the courtyard and said loudly: "Brothers, if you find that there are military quarters deducting food and salaries in the future, or the food standard has been lowered, you can just come to me!" I, Chu Yunfei, don't have any other skills, but at least I can ensure that my brother fills his stomach and can also receive his own money! ”

Fang Ligong then shouted: "Haven't you thanked the master seat soon?" ”

"Thank you! Thank you! The officers and soldiers present responded violently.

"Okay, let's keep eating." Chu Yunfei smiled slightly, then turned around and walked out of the barracks.

Fang Ligong walked a few steps to keep up with Chu Yunfei, and said in a low voice: "Master, Chief Tang's envoy has arrived, asking us to release Tian Sibao and the others immediately, and return the confiscated grain and assets to them. ”

"Ignore him." Chu Yunfei said abruptly, "I always firmly believe that Chief Tang will not be that kind of person, the so-called envoy must be pulling the tiger skin and pulling the banner, and he must be doing evil outside under the banner of Chief Tang, so don't bother with it, you just continue to dig deep into the crimes of those grain merchants, oh yes, as long as it involves hoarding and raising prices, you don't have to stick to the grain merchants, those cloth merchants, tea merchants and medicine merchants are all arrested, those who should be killed are killed, those who should be killed are killed, and those who should be confiscated must also be confiscated, unless the principal directly gives an order, Otherwise, you don't have to pay attention to him when the king of heaven comes! ”

"Yes!" Fang Ligong replied with a serious face, "I understand. ”

Fang Ligong is very clear, there is no turning back arrow when he opens the bow, since Chu Yunfei has taken this step, he can only go all the way to the dark, no matter what, he must rectify the 89th Division in the shortest possible time, and then wave the division to northern Henan, and incorporate the Chi Dianyuan Temporary 1st Brigade and Zhao Xunqi's Temporary 2nd Brigade, so that Chu Yunfei has the foundation to settle down.

……

Sen County, temporary 2nd Brigade Brigade Headquarters.

"Come, Brother Chi, please." Zhao Xunqi said solemnly.

Chi Dianyuan was not polite, and sat down in front of the wine table.

Zhao Xunqi picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Chi Dianyuan, and asked with a smile: "Brother Chi, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time you came to find the younger brother, but you want to persuade the younger brother to join the Japanese?" ”

Chi Dianyuan took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Zhao, the one who knows the times is Junjie, right?" ”

"Yes, I totally agree." Zhao Xunqi nodded and said, "But in the current situation, I'm afraid it's not a wise move to defect to the Japanese, right?" As you know, the beautiful countries are in the war. ”

"So what?" Chi Dianyuan said suddenly, "A small Gwadar Island, the beautiful national army mobilized more than 500,000 horses, fought for almost half a year, and more than 200,000 casualties still failed to defeat it, you say, how many large and small islands like Gwadar Island are there in the Pacific Ocean?" How many beautiful countries can be laid? ”

"This ......," Zhao Xunqi frowned, "Who did Brother Chi listen to?" ”

Chi Dianyuan was stunned when he heard this, and Zhao Xunqi immediately asked, "Did the Japanese say it?" ”

"It's the Japanese." Chi Dianyuan nodded and said, "But this is also a fact, the Army of the Beautiful Country is indeed fighting very unsmoothly in the South Pacific theater. ”

"But it's not as exaggerated as you say." Zhao Xunqi said, "Little brother Ru finally feels that the current situation is chaotic, and he can't see the future trend of the situation for a while, so he should try to be as safe as possible." ”

"Why don't I want to be stable?" Chi Dianyuan said, "Why don't you always allow it." ”

After a pause, Chi Dianyuan continued: "Chang Kaishen specially sent Chu Yunfei to take over the position of division commander of the 89th Division, and let the 89th Division garrison Xingyang, Brother Xunqi won't not understand the intention, right?" ”

"Of course I understand." Zhao Xunqi said with a dark face, "It's nothing more than wanting to annex the two of our troops." ”

"So." Chi Dianyuan said, "If you take refuge with the Japanese now, you can still keep the position of the brigade commander, and if you are lucky, you may be able to become a division commander, but if you don't take advantage of the Japanese now, when Chu Yunfei leads the troops across the Yellow River, you and my brother don't say that they can keep the position of the brigade commander, whether they can save their lives is still two words." ”

Zhao Xunqi frowned and said, "Brother Chi, it shouldn't be like this, right?" ”

"Isn't that it?" Chi Dianyuan said suddenly, "Haven't you heard of it?" ”

"What did you hear?" Zhao Xunqi frowned and said, "Brother Chi, please say it directly." ”

Chi Dianyuan said: "When Chu Yunfei first arrived, he killed Shang Tianliang, the quartermaster of the 89th Division? ”

"What? Shang Tianliang has been shot by Chu Yunfei? Zhao Xunqi's face changed slightly, "What crime?" ”

"What charges?" Chi Dianyuan said disdainfully, "What other crime can it be, reselling military rations and embezzling military salaries, I really fucking accept it, and this can also become a crime?" Who doesn't do that? Oh, just allow them to do it in the Central Army, let them do it in the Whampoa officers, and don't allow us people from the miscellaneous army to do it? ”

"Is that really the case?" Zhao Xunqi's face had become extremely embarrassed.

The reason is very simple, he and Chi Dianyuan have not been less engaged in reselling military rations and embezzling military salaries.

The two of them not only embezzled military salaries, resold military rations, and even secretly resold arms!

Chu Yunfei can't even tolerate the reselling of military rations, and can he tolerate them reselling arms?

"Brother Xunqi, you still don't believe it, do you?" Chi Dianyuan said a little angrily, "I'm not afraid to tell you, Chu Yunfei not only killed Shang Tianliang, but also removed Gou Yu'an and several of their regiment commanders and battalion commanders, and replaced them with his old subordinates and henchmen who were transferred from Shanxi, Brother Xunqi, you say, Chu Yunfei can tolerate you and my brother?" ”

"it!" Zhao Xunqi said with a dark face, "Chu Yunfei can tolerate you and my brother before there are ghosts." ”

"So." Chi Dianyuan picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Zhao Xunqi, and said, "We have to find a backer quickly, otherwise when Chu Yunfei arrives, it will really be over." ”

Zhao Xunqi said: "Is there no other way? ”

"What else can be done?" Chi Dianyuan said, "Chu Yunfei will not let us go, if you don't take refuge with the Japanese, is it possible that you still want to take refuge in the Eighth Route Army?" ”

Zhao Xunqi's eyes lit up and said, "Hey, this is a good idea." ”

"Not a bad fart." Chi Dianyuan said, "Brother, don't forget, our brothers are Sun Dianying and Pang Bingxun's old department, and they fought with the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army two years ago, do you think the Eighth Route Army can want us?" What's more, you don't know the discipline of the Eighth Route Army, you can't smoke a lot, you can't play with money, and you can't play with women, so what's the point of living this life? Just go back to your hometown and set up a stall to sell roasted sweet potatoes. ”

Zhao Xunqi still hesitated a little and said: "But I think the good life of the Japanese is really not long." ”

"Brother Xunqi, let's get past the current level first." Chi Dianyuan snorted and said, "Besides, if the Japanese are really defeated and surrendered one day, won't it be over if we take off this dog skin on our body and rejoin the national army?" ”

Zhao Xunqi said: "But the question is that Chang Kaishen will take you and my brother in at that time?" I'm afraid it's hanging. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Xunqi said again: "Brother Chi, or let's wait a little longer, and pass the New Year first." ”

Seeing that Zhao Xunqi couldn't be moved, Chi Dianyuan could only give up and said, "Okay, then let's talk about it after the New Year." ”

While the two were talking, Zhao Xunqi's adjutant suddenly came in and reported: "Brigade seat, the patrol sent by our brigade to the vicinity of Yangmaozhuang was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and three brothers were killed. ”

"Brother, take a look." Chi Dianyuan shook his head and said, "You still want to take refuge in the Eighth Route Army." ”

"Fuck." Zhao Xunqi put the wine glass on the table and said in a deep voice, "This is the Eighth Route Army breaking the rules first, since they dare to be the first year of junior high school, then don't blame us for being the fifteenth!" ”

After a pause, he said, "Pass my orders." ”

"Immediately send a company to set up an ambush near Yangmaozhuang."

"When the patrol of the Eighth Route Army comes, you will beat me to death!"

"Brother Xunqi, don't be impulsive......" Chi Dianyuan subconsciously wanted to dissuade him, but halfway through his words, he suddenly reacted and said with a smile, "Brother, you don't mean to be a drunkard." ”

Obviously, Zhao Xunqi wanted to create a tense atmosphere in northern Henan.

Once the temporary 1st Brigade, the temporary 2nd Brigade and the Eighth Route Army form a confrontation, then whether it is Chang Kaishen or the Japanese, they will no longer persecute the two of them to death, and the reason is also very simple, if they are approached to death at this time, in case the temporary 1st Brigade and the temporary 2nd Brigade are eaten by the Eighth Route Army, it will not help the Eighth Route Army?

For Chang Kaishen and the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army was their great enemy.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from taking advantage of the fishermen, the tolerance of the Japanese and Chang Kaishen towards them will increase, so that Chongtian Desong will no longer be in a hurry to force them to take refuge, and Chang Kaishen will not dare to let Chu Yun fly across the river to absorb them, and their two brigades can at least live a quiet life.

The only thing to worry about is the reaction of the Eighth Route Army.

However, with the current situation in northern Henan, they also did not believe that the Eighth Route Army had the courage to mobilize heavy troops to kill the two of them, after all, there were still two divisions of the Northern Henan Security Army on the flank.

So, mixing the water is a good idea.

……

Li Yunlong has nothing to do, so he went to Erlang Town to take a look.

Erlang Town belongs to the defense area of the Third Regiment, and I saw that the recruiting office at the entrance of the town was crowded, and many middle-aged and young people were crowded in front of the recruiting office to ask to join the army, and there were even women, children, and the elderly.

Several staff members in the recruiting office were already busy.

"Girl, we don't recruit female soldiers now, but you can go to the town's women's rescue club to find a job."

"Uncle, you are too old to be a soldier, but I can introduce you to a job, the logistics office over there is recruiting a large number of workers, that is, digging a tunnel to repair a fortification, arranging accommodation, and managing two meals a day."

"Imp, how old are you this year? Don't look as tall as a rifle and want to be a soldier? Let's go to the children's group. ”

Thanks to the efforts of the staff, the long queue of hungry people gradually shortened until they were finally invisible.

All the hungry people, men, women, and children, were properly accommodated, young people joined the army, the old people arranged to repair fortifications, women were arranged to be put into the quilt factory set up by the Women's Rescue Society to collect shoe soles, and children were also included in the children's regiment, and they were also responsible for standing guard and sentry in addition to training, and all men, women, and children in the entire town of Erlang were mobilized.

It just so happened that Zhao Gang was also in Erlang Town.

Seeing Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Lao Li, why are you here?" Zhao Gang said.

"I'll just go around." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Looking at the lively scene in Erlang Town, it's really gratifying, I feel like I'm back in the northwest of Jinxi." ”

"yes." Zhao Gang also said with a smile, "The situation in this area of Erlang Town has been completely opened, the construction of the organizational structure of the base area is very fast, all villages have developed basic militias, and all townships have also formed district teams, and the next step is to form county brigades, and county, township, and village party committees must also be formed as soon as possible." ”

After a pause, Zhao Gang smiled again and said, "The situation is very good. ”

Li Yunlong nodded, and asked again, "Lao Zhao, can the rations keep up?" ”

"It works." Zhao Gang said lightly, "Only half of the grain seized from Qingliangzhai has been divided, and the remaining more than five million catties of grain can last for at least a month." ”

On the day of the public trial of Wang Taigong and Wang Ying's father and son, a total of more than 300,000 hungry people came.

Each hungry person was given 20 catties of grain, and a total of more than 6 million catties of grain were distributed.

After a pause, Zhao Gang continued: "A month later, the county seat of Anxian County should have been taken, and the grain bought from southern Hebei should also be transported to northwest Henan. ”

"It's good if there's no problem." Li Yunlong smiled, and was about to say another when he saw Wang Ye coming over.

"Xiao Wang?" Li Yunlong immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Usually you don't come back in the middle of the night, why did you come back so early today?" ”

"Commander, there is a situation." After Wang Ye finished speaking, he said hello to Zhao Gang again.

Zhao Gang nodded and motioned to Wang Ye to explain the situation, and Wang Ye said to Li Yunlong: "Anxian County has come with devil reinforcements, and there are a lot of troops, and it is estimated that there must be an infantry wing." ”

"Huh?" Li Yunlong's face sank and said, "A wing? ”

If this is changed to the time when I was in the northwest of Shanxi before, a wing is nothing at all.

However, this time is different from the past, and now their detachment in northwest Henan is short of food and ammunition, and the artillery firepower is only one Shanghai-style 82mm mortar that has just been captured, and there are only a dozen shells, so they have no confidence to fight a tough battle with the devil at all, let alone an infantry wing, even a brigade can make them disgraced.

"It shouldn't be." Zhao Gang also frowned and said, "Could it be that there is a leak?" ”

"It's impossible to leak the news." Wang Ye said, "However, Okamura Ningci, an old devil, has always been cautious, and when the main force of the Northwest Henan Detachment broke through from the Taiyue Military Region, it still made a little movement, so it is entirely possible that Okamura Ningci can guess that a partial division of our 386th Brigade is coming to Northwest Henan." ”

Li Yunlong said: "Okamura Ningji, this old devil is really difficult. ”

"So what now?" Zhao Gang said, "This infantry wing with devils plus Wu Lantian's temporary 2nd Division is stationed in Anxian County, and it is impossible to open up the communication line from the Southern Hebei Military Region to the northwest of Henan, and at most it can only be smuggled at night, not to mention that it is easy to suffer losses, and the number will not be large." ”

As soon as the words fell, Duan Peng hurriedly walked over again.

"Captain, regimental commander and political commissar." Duan Peng gasped and said, "Chi Dianwen is really bold on this dog day, he dared to ambush our patrol, two soldiers were killed, and three soldiers were seriously injured. ”

"What?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "Chi Dianwen, this dog day, Lao Tzu didn't provoke him, but he actually sent it to the door, what didn't he say, beat the dog day!" ”

"Lao Li, you can't beat Chi Dianwen." Zhao Gang hurriedly dissuaded.

"Before we came to the northwest of Henan, the boss repeatedly explained that there should be no friction."
