"Goo-dong!"

Yang Village.

After days of hard work by the militia road repair team, Yang Village has changed greatly.

A wide, smooth road stretches from the center of Yangcun and winds along the mountain road to the farthest point until the end of the view.

On both sides of the road, there are houses rising from the ground.

Around the road, there are markets, wells, and rows of fields.

People are busy in between,

It has become a city in the mountains.

At this point,

In the underground warehouse, which was secretly excavated by the engineer unit of the Independent Regiment in the valley near Yang Village, Li Shiming looked at the huge truck in front of him and couldn't help but swallow his throat.

"What kind of truck is this?"

As a six-year veteran party member, he joined the army before the Anti-Japanese War.

At that time, even the Long March of the troops had not yet begun.

At that time, he was studying abroad and majored in mechanical engineering.

After graduating, in order to strengthen his practical ability, he joined a large machinery company and was assigned to solve product problems.

So, mechanically, he has enough vision.

But the truck in front of you...

Throughout his more than ten years of history abroad, he had never seen such a huge truck.

Although the structural design is crude, just looking at the appearance and the tires that are as tall as ordinary people, Li Shiming can sense that the technology of this truck is advanced.

"MAZ-537 truck."

"Twenty tons of weight, full-time drive, the engine is a V12 engine with a displacement of 38 liters, and 550 horsepower..."

Listening to the data introduced by the technician, Li Shiming suddenly looked at the behemoth in front of him, and didn't even notice the hara that flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

Five hundred and fifty horsepower diesel engine.

No truck in the world has such a huge power, not even Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom. In these countries, the largest trucks are only more than 200 horsepower.

The torque of this truck's engine is even more terrifying than the sheer amount of horsepower.

Its torque is as high as 3,000 Nm.

Naturally, it also brought the terrifying ability of a maximum driving weight of up to 100 tons to this truck.

Even off-road,

On these rugged dirt roads in Jindi, it can also achieve a load of 65 tons.

Thanks to the technical reinforcement of the nineties used by the system master, the MAZ-537 trucks that appeared in the independent regiment at this time were far more advanced than the original.

The site redesign, engine redesign, and process improvements have greatly improved reliability and serviceability without much increase in horsepower.

The load capacity has also been greatly increased.

Sixty-five tons!

Foreign special trucks, a flatbed is only the number of transportation.

In other words...

Li Shiming raised his gaze, glanced at the ten trucks in front of him, and swallowed his throat again.

These ten trucks can transport 650 tons of goods at a time, which is equivalent to the transportation capacity of a standard military train of the devil - limited by the traction of the locomotive, the carrying capacity of the rails, and the need to ensure the transportation speed of the military train, the load of the devil military train on the Zhengtai line is only 600 to 800 tons.

And as far as he knows,

This time, the regimental commander brought in a hundred of these trucks.

Thinking of this, Li Shiming breathed a long sigh of relief.

With this kind of truck, the biggest problem plaguing the base area has been solved - the transportation problem has been solved.

···

"What are the prices of food today?"

Southern Hebei Base Area.

Ze County.

Old man Jia, a local landowner, has also recently begun to feel that something is wrong.

It's been half a month.

He and a group of 'friends' are desperately hoarding food from the market, pushing up food prices all the way.

The Japanese are also frantically pushing up grain, attracting grain from the base areas to the Japanese-controlled areas, and further pushing up the price of grain in the southern Hebei region.

But

Under the influence of so many factors, the Eighth Route Army still put 300 tons of grain on the market every day.

Moreover.

The most vicious trick is that the group of Tuhaha Tuba Road actually recruited a large number of workers and began to build roads, not only for food, but also for food.

This hand has completely stabilized the market grain prices.

With bitter ha, the demand for food in the market will naturally decrease, and naturally the price of food will not skyrocket.

Although grain prices have been rising for nearly half a month, they have risen too slowly.

Not even half of the Japanese-controlled area was reached.

How else can this make money?

As for transporting grain to the Japanese-controlled areas for sale, he was doing it, but the Eighth Route Army strictly forbade the transportation of grain to the Japanese-controlled areas, and the people also controlled the transportation channels, so he could only sell grain to the Japanese on a small scale.

There's too little to make here.

And the exchange of 20,000 silver dollars per week.

He doesn't make much either.

There was only 25 percent of the profit, and in a month, he could only earn 20,000 silver dollars, some of which had to be spit out to maintain his status as an anti-Japanese model.

For example, distributing food to the victims of the disaster, donating food to Tubalu, and so on.

"It's still not up."

The butler bowed his head and replied.

In the past week, although the price of grain in Ze County has not fallen, it has not increased at all.

"Gotta figure figure out."

Old man Jia held his hands in his arms and paced back and forth.

Inadequate.

Not enough silver dollars earned.

He wanted more silver dollars.

···

"Donate money and food to the base areas, distribute porridge to the disaster victims, and collect refugees."

"This old man Jia is quite smart."

Zexian,

In the headquarters of the southern Hebei base area.

The person in charge of economic warfare looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Of course."

A local staff officer couldn't help but nod his head in agreement.

Old man Jia can become a big landlord in southern Hebei, keep the 5,000 acres of watered land handed down by his ancestors, and he has never been in the middle of the road, and his own ability must be good.

To put it simply, this kind of person, although bad, is definitely not stupid.

Although this person secretly cooperated with the Japanese, resold silver dollars with a generation of new Hebei southern currency, secretly hoarded grain, raised the price of grain in the base area, and even secretly transported grain to the devil-controlled area to make money.

But on the surface, he still pretends to be a good person.

Do good deeds everywhere, and hype it up.

"Hmph."

"It's not a fool, I was deceived by the devil and collected a large number of counterfeit money."

Disagreement was expressed.

The 20,000 silver dollars exchanged by Old Man Jia last week, most of which were fake first-generation Southern Hebei coins made by devils, more than ninety percent, if it weren't for the purpose of catching a net of big fish, he would justifiably take Old Man Jia's 5,000 acres of watered land.

He had already bankrupted Old Man Jia.

"Take your time."

The person in charge of economic warfare said with a smile.

Old man Jia watered the land, about 60 oceans per acre, and 5,000 acres, which is 300,000 oceans and 3 million new Hebei dollars.

It is necessary for Old Man Jia's losses to reach this amount before the net can be closed.

Of course, there are many other landowners,

This time, we have to catch them all.

"But, Commander-in-Chief..."

One of the officers looked at the person in charge of economic warfare and said in a worried tone:

"Recently, the territory we control has become larger and larger, and there are still ordinary people pouring into our base area."

"The devils also deliberately drove the common people into our base area."

"In addition, the devils are still raising food prices, and although they are strictly controlled, there is still more and more grain flowing into the areas controlled by the devils."

"With our current food reserves, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it for long."

"It's okay."

The tone of the head of the economy is confident:

"Soon, we'll have plenty of food!"

Although the news that the troops had obtained sufficient transportation capacity was still classified, he already knew about it.

···

"Airplanes?"

Northern Review.

Naoto Matsuzaki office.

Naoto Matsuzaki looked at the subordinates in front of him and couldn't help but widen his eyes:

"You're saying that it's possible that Tubalu transported silver dollars and newspapers to the North Review by plane, and took those people from the North Review?"

Plane!

It's not an unusual thing.

The locust army has.

But there are planes on the dirt road?

Is this possible?

Of course, now there are people behind the Dirt Eight Road, and there are mysterious forces to support them.

With the ability of this force, it is not a big deal to have planes, and it is also an easy thing to bring planes to Tsuhachilu.

But!

Fly north to transport silver dollars and newspapers, and avoid the sight of the locust army.

Is this possible?

How is this possible?

When the army of locusts is blind?

The plane flew to Beiping, and the more than 10,000 locust troops in the empire couldn't see it? Can't see the eyeliner of the empire all over the Northern Review?

"According to intelligence."

The subordinate continued:

"In the suburbs, quite a few people heard the sound of propellers at night."

"There were also convoys seen transporting supplies at night."

"And, according to the logs collected by the special high school, they found those missing Beiping people in the suburbs."

"Night?"

Naoto Matsuzaki's brow furrowed deeply.

If it was nighttime, it was indeed understandable why the locust army did not find it.

At night, you can't see the plane, you can only hear the sound, plus it's a suburb, it's normal not to find it.

But...

"How did they land at night?"

"How do you navigate?"

Naoto Matsuzaki couldn't figure it out.

Although not a pilot himself, Naoto Matsuzaki also knows enough about aircraft.

Landing at night is a problem, but there is a solution, just put lights on the runway, but night navigation is a big problem.

During the day, it is easy to deviate, let alone at night.

"I don't know."

The subordinate could only shake his head:

"I've had people find traces of suspected aircraft landing where the sound of the plane appeared, and I've sent people to step up night patrols, but nothing else has been found yet."

"Got it."

Naoto Matsuzaki waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to leave.

Subsequently, Naoto Matsuzaki walked directly to the headquarters.

···

"Ishihara Waner!"

Within the commander of the North China Front.

Tada's face was gloomy.

According to the base camp telegram, Ishihara Waner is coming!

With the order of the Prime Minister and the Sky Locust, come and investigate the truth about the capture of the three United Flags and the killing of Miyano Michiichi. And, by the way, investigate, and get supplies by the dirt road.

That's not a problem.

The question is,

He and Ishihara have always been at odds.

Now that Ishihara is in power, he will inevitably make trouble for him.

That's the big problem.

Three wing flags were captured, and the chief of staff was still attacked and killed after the Eighth Route Army reported, if it is really found out that there is a problem within the North China Front, then I am afraid that he will be directly thrown into the reserve.

Not in power for life.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

So··

"Xinhua News on Tuba Road must not be allowed to appear in Beiping City, and there are other cities, too."

Tada's eyes flashed.

"General."

At this moment, Naoto Matsuzaki ran in and reported to Tada:

"After investigation, it has been confirmed that the Tsubaka Road is using airplanes to transport newspapers and silver dollars to the north at night."

"Airplane?!"

"Night transport?"

Tada's eyes widened suddenly.

"Are you sure?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"Sure."

Naoto Matsuzaki sighed.

"This..."

Tada's brows furrowed.

Although I don't know, how did the dirt eight roads do it, and how to solve the navigation problem by transporting silver dollars through airplane newspapers at night?

But...

How do you intercept a plane that appears at night in Beiping?

As soon as the newspaper with the news of the killing of the chief of staff appeared in the Northern Review, in the city controlled by the locust army, then he was in big trouble.

This news must be blocked.

"Go and call the commander of the aviation brigade."

Tada's tone was a little flustered.

He panicked!

···

"Incredible."

Three-five-eight regiment.

Chu Yunfei has been very idle recently.

Although the life of the Jin Suijun is not very easy, without the Taiyuan Arsenal, there is less money, fewer people, and fewer bullet materials.

But Chu Yunfei is an elite after all, a descendant, and has priority in supply.

And.

After benefiting from the abundant funds of the troops, they began to vigorously develop the economy, and the Luliang Mountain area controlled by the Jin Sui Army also benefited a lot, receiving a lot more funds in hand, and the economy was also much better.

The days are a little better.

Coupled with the devil's all-out efforts to deal with the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army has recently begun to raise fat.

At this time, Chu Yunfei was holding a copy of the previous Xinhua newspaper in his hand, and his mouth was incredible.

"Tuanzao, this is obviously just a group of people from the Eighth Route Army who are grandstanding."

"Can they kill Miyano Michichi under the heavy protection of the Japanese?"

"Is this possible?"

Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, did not believe it at all.

The assassination of the chief of staff of the North China Front Army is extremely difficult to succeed.

Not to mention the public assault killing.

No one will believe it.

"Brother Meritorious Service."

"What do you think?"

Chu Yunfei took out a newspaper again, which was the newspaper that recorded the capture of the three wing flags of the devil by the independent regiment.

"Is this true?"

Chu Yunfei asked.

"This..."

Fang Ligong fell into deep thought.

He wanted to say it was a fake.

Devil United flag, how can it be captured?

but

Li Yunlong, the one from the Independent Regiment, sent news that their Jin Sui Army could send people to see the captured Devil Wing Banner in Yang Village at any time, and even give money to take pictures.

And also sent an invitation to their head of the group.

The film fee for the officers of the Jin Sui Army can be exempted.

"So..."

Chu Yunfei put away the newspaper, patted the military uniform on his body, and said:

"Let's take a look."

"Take a look at the three devil wing flags they captured."

"Let's take a look and see if they have the strength to publicly kill Miyano Michichi!"

Chu Yunfei's voice landed soundly.
