As the saying goes, it's better to save than to buy, and it's better to grab than to buy.

As soon as the guns rang out, it was more than 10,000 taels of gold.

At present, the disaster situation is serious, and a large number of victims from the base areas of the Eighth Route Army have poured in, if they can seize a large amount of food hoarded by the Japanese army through battle.

This was definitely the most effective way to solve the internal pressure in the root area and weaken the strength of the Japanese army.

If the public wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.

In order to plan for the overall grain robbery, Kong Jie spent several days collecting intelligence everywhere, and asked the General Staff to work hard to draw a map of the main railway lines in Shanxi and the surrounding areas.

"This is the Tongpu Railway, which runs north-south, and even runs through the entire Shanxi."

"This is the Zhengtai campaign we launched last year, the main Zhengtai railway line for sabotage, and in the past half a year, the little devil has rebuilt it."

"Pinghan, Pingsui, Jinpu, Jiaoji, Longhai Railway ......"

As the narration goes, looking at the map of the railway lines drawn up, the railway lines occupied and controlled by the Japanese army are densely packed all over the major occupation areas.

Some of the major cities were basically located near these important railway lines, and were firmly in the hands of the Japanese army.

Kong Jie couldn't help but sigh:

"The advent of railways and trains can be said to have changed the old mode of logistics and transportation in the war."

"The large-scale and efficient transportation capacity of the railway line determines that it has two powerful capabilities: rapid projection of troops and logistical transportation support."

"The importance of railway lines ......"

"If we combine it with the gradual evolution of the battlefield between us and the Japanese army since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it is not difficult to find that the railway line connecting the major cities of our country has always been the focus of contention between the enemy and us."

"The little devil is difficult to deal with, looking at the area occupied by the devil, looking at the lost homeland, we can only look at the ocean and sigh for the time being."

"All this is not only due to the huge advantages of the Japanese army's military industrial level, as well as more complete military construction, these railway networks densely scattered in our China are also one of the accomplices."

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan is holding a wooden ruler and a pencil on the map.

According to the plan discussed with Kong Jie, he mainly marked the most likely grain transportation railway line for the Japanese army around Yangquan and Ping'an counties.

Regarding Kong Jie's feelings, Xu Guoan thought deeply:

"Lao Kong, what you said is to the point."

"If it weren't for the dense railway lines, the ability to quickly transport troops and the stable logistics supply capacity provided for the little devils."

"We won't just be huddled in the mountains and fight guerrillas with little devils."

"Let's talk about the 100-regiment battle we launched at the end of last year!"

"In the past nearly a year, if it weren't for the fact that during the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, our army successfully destroyed most of the railway lines of the Japanese Zhengtai Railway, and uprooted the devil's advance stronghold and pillbox, so that the cage policy of the little devil was completely broken."

"I'm afraid our days are going to be even more difficult."

"As for the relative stability of the base area for most of the past six months? Don't even think about it! ”

Xu Guoan's words, Kong Jie quite agreed.

To be honest, the independent regiment was able to develop to its current scale, and even expanded into the first detachment of the anti-Japanese resistance in the northwest of Shanxi, naturally benefited from the Zhengtai Campaign.

If it weren't for the sabotage battle in the Zhengtai Campaign, the Japanese Zhengtai Railway would have been paralyzed.

I am afraid that the independent regiment will not have so much time to stabilize its base and take advantage of the opportunity to develop.

"Lao Kong, it's done, you see, through analysis at the moment, the railway lines for the Japanese army to transport grain to Yangquan and Ping'an County are most likely these ones."

As he spoke, Xu Guoan, who had already completed the homework on the map, got up and said.

Kong Jie nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he took the pencil in Xu Guoan's hand and traced three of the small sections of the railway with a pencil along the seven or eight railway branch lines marked by Xu Guoan's work on the map.

"The more precise the target and the more definite the scope, the better."

"The little devil's railway line is like a spider's web, extending in all directions, and the original railway line in Shanxi is relatively dense, which is cheaper for the little devil who came in."

"These three small sections are very small on the map, and the shortest estimate of the actual distance is several kilometers."

"The main thing is that they are the intersecting sections of these branch and trunk lines in a complex distribution, in other words, these three places are the sections that the devil's train must pass through to transport grain."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie's gaze became a little hot:

"In the past few days, the propaganda department's battle plan has been carried out very successfully, and the little devils originally wanted to use the rapid reduction of porridge and grain distribution to force the victims to leave, but after we publicized and used it, more victims poured into the main county towns in the areas occupied by the devils."

"The little devil is busy right now, and this is the perfect time for us to make a move."

"In addition, through the analysis of the intelligence collected by the Ministry of Enemy Industry these days, the batch of grain transported by the devils to Yangquan and Ping'an County should arrive in the near future."

"No waiting!"

"In this grain robbery operation, our independent regiment should take the lead."

"This time, all three regiments of our team were mobilized, Wang Leihu's second regiment is responsible for the northbound railway intersection, Shen Quan is responsible for the westward railway intersection, and our side is responsible for the eastward railway intersection."

"No matter the order, in a word, we must not let a single grain of the little devil enter Yangquan and Ping'an County."

Xu Guoan nodded, and said with a smile:

"Lao Kong, I think the movement of this grain robbery is getting bigger and bigger."

"Let's keep an eye on Yangquan and Ping'an County, the new second regiment has been staring at Shouyang these days, Lao Li must also be fighting the idea of the devil's grain train, Lao Ding is also not idle, and even hit the idea in the direction of Taiyuan City."

"Let's do it here, you see, the two of them will definitely not be able to sit still, and they can toss it up after it."

"Then let's make a fuss, the bigger the trouble, the better!" Kong Jie smiled: "If you don't make a fuss, where can we find a loophole to drill?" ”

"Again, this time we have sufficient intelligence, multi-party cooperation, plus the little devil is now busy with the affairs of the victims, and he lacks skills, and there will be no big problem if we successfully knock out the train of the devils transporting grain at these three intersections."

"The main problem is how to quickly transfer the large amount of grain transported by the devils before the Japanese army reacts after intercepting these trains."

"The reserve convoys of each regiment are ready, right?"

Xu Guoan responded: "Lao Kong, you can rest assured, this time in order to quickly transport the captured grain, we have made a bloody investment." ”

"The two trucking teams are all ready, and we have been making preparations during this time, and we have also purchased a large amount of spare fuel from the direction of Yan'an, which is enough for our trucking team to run several round-trips."

"In addition, motorcycles, bicycles, mule carts, and even small wooden carts pushed by our soldiers are all ready, and Xie Baoqing and other accompanying military and civilian labor regiments are also all involved in this transportation, they don't have to care about anything else, as long as they rob the grain, they will quickly transport the grain away in batches as soon as possible."

Kong Jie said: "In this way, we can rest assured, but this is far from enough." ”

"The transportation capacity of the train is quite amazing, although the performance of the little devil's train is not as good as that of some advanced countries in the West, but this train still transports hundreds of tons of goods."

"Let's say there are 500 tons of cargo, and we can pull up to 3 to 5 tons on one transport truck, which means that we even need hundreds of trucks to transport the grain at one time."

"As for bicycles, motorcycles, mule carts, etc., the transportation volume of these vehicles is much smaller, but fortunately, the number is large enough, even if the ants move the mountains, as long as there are thousands of ants, they can also complete this huge project."

"But the devil won't give us that much time."

With the analysis, Kong Jie directly made up his mind:

"Therefore, this time our battle plan to rob the Japanese army's military rations requires the participation of all troops."

"Just like the Zhengtai Campaign back then, it is necessary to mobilize all local troops, militia forces, and even villagers who are willing to help and are active."

"After the robbery of the devil's train, the transfer of grain will be carried out quickly and orderly, our automobile transport team, as well as motorcycles, bicycles, mules and carriages, can pull away as much as possible, and let the local comrades, militia comrades and villagers help the rest, even if it is carried by manpower, we must move the devil's grain clean."

"As for the grain transported, our transport team quickly approached the direction of the base area, and other local troops, militia units, and villagers can hide the transferred grain in the villages and mountains where they are located."

"Some of them are really too late to move, even if you dig a pit and bury them in the ground."

"It's a good idea to move the grain nearby!" Xu Guoan said with a smile.
