The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 163

The team has expanded. It is indeed a good thing to have more people when fighting, but it is a troublesome thing to raise troops in normal times.The burden of eating, drinking, and sleeping is directly proportional to the number of people.

The members of the county brigade don't have military pay, and they don't pay much attention to food. They are not as expensive as the people in the Taohuashan guerrillas, and the burden is much smaller.

But even so, it is not easy to feed these more than 500 people.Meals alone are too much for them.

According to the division of labor, the political commissar Yang Jiong is responsible for political and ideological work and logistics work.He took over this burden and felt a lot of pressure. The joy when he first came to the county brigade has begun to turn into a sad expression.

Although with Gao Jiu's help, the county brigade had saved a fortune, but their team was too big, and it would cost a fortune to make a suit of clothes for everyone.Even if it's just one pair of shoes per person, the cost is not small.If it goes on like this, it won't take long, and I don't know what to do.

Today's county brigade has not yet established a solid base, and cannot mobilize the people to support them.

As mentioned earlier, the county brigade has sufficient firearms because they have enough firearms to equip the newly developed team members.However, ammunition is running low.All family property is averaged to each person's head, only 30 rounds of bullets.If it is not replenished in time, it will only be enough for two battles at most.

Tagawa, the chief of staff and chief military instructor, was also very worried.The recruited new players are highly motivated, and everyone trains very hard, but there are not enough bullets for training.

So far, these new team members have each fired a total of three bullets.The accuracy of this shooting, after entering the battlefield, only God knows.

This morning, Jiang Xiaomei, Yang Jiong, Tian Chuan and several squadron leaders were discussing the future development of the army.In other respects, it can be said that the situation is gratifying. As for the logistics supply issue, everyone is at a loss.

Jiang Xiaomei recalled what Gao Jiu told her when she was in Zhangjiazhuang, how to establish an anti-Japanese base area, and then the common people should pay for it reasonably to support the county brigade.At that time, Gao Jiu talked a lot, and Jiang Xiaomei also felt that it was very fresh.But at that time, Jiang Xiaomei only had a dozen or so people in her hand, and she could fill her stomach casually, and she didn't really take it to heart.Now she really needs to face this problem, but she can't remember many things clearly.

She said: "Brother Jiu said, don't develop the army so fast. I was quite reluctant at the time, but now it seems that what Brother Jiu said makes sense. Brother Jiu told me a set of methods for building base areas before. I I kind of can’t remember it now.”

Li Degong, the leader of the No. [-] Squadron, said: "Jiu Ye and his supplies were all captured in the war. I think the only way is to fight the Japanese army and capture their supplies to equip ourselves."

The other squadron leaders also share this opinion.

Yang Jiong disagreed with this opinion, as it was completely impossible to provide a stable supply of materials by doing so.He said: "Mr. Gao does have a solution. I think we should ask him for advice on how to maintain the county brigade."

After these days of tossing, Yang Jiong's pressure is really too great.He is a pragmatic person, and now he no longer talks about how to expand the guerrilla army, but starts talking about how to maintain the current size of the county brigade.

Jiang Xiaomei said regretfully: "Our place is about two days away from Peach Blossom Mountain, so it's too inconvenient to get in touch."

Not long ago, Gao Jiu seized three radio stations and gave one to Xiaomei Jiang.It's a pity that none of them knew how to use them, so they handed them over to John Chen.

Yang Jiong said: "Do you think this will work? Seeing that the wheat is about to be harvested, and we don't have much ammunition in our hands, we don't want to go out to fight for the time being. Let's go to Peach Blossom Mountain together and learn from Mr. Gao."

Of course Jiang Xiaomei wants to go to Peach Blossom Mountain.Hearing Yang Jiong's suggestion made it right in his arms.

She said: "I agree. Ninth Brother has a lot of solutions. Let Ninth Brother give advice, and we will know what to do."

At this moment, a member of the county brigade came in to report that Master Nine of Peach Blossom Mountain had sent someone.

Jiang Xiaomei, Yang Jiong and others were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurried out to greet her in person.

It was Jia Liu who came, and he took out Gao Jiu's handwritten letter and handed it to Jiang Xiaomei.

After reading Gao Jiu's letter, Jiang Xiaomei said joyfully, "Brother Jiu is so kind, he never forgot about us."

Yang Jiong took the letter and told everyone about the content. Tian Chuan and the squadron leaders of the county brigade also became excited.

That night, Jiang Xiaomei, Yang Jiong and Tian Chuan led 300 members of the county brigade to leave the Shangzhuangzi base and head for Qingfeng Mountain.

The county seat of Lu County.

Huang Banxian'er is a seasoned person. Not long after entering the city, as a businessman, he rented a small courtyard less than 63 meters away from the headquarters of the 30rd Regiment.They lived in seclusion and waited patiently for Gao Jiu's arrival.

Two days later, Gao Jiu came with Wang Yuling, Wang Youfu, Li Shuying and others.This time they came with Wang Sanniang.

In order not to attract attention, Gao Jiu and the others are inconvenient to go out these days.Wang Sanniang is a middle-aged lady who speaks with a local accent. She is responsible for providing food for these people, so it is not easy to attract suspicion.

During the day, Gao Jiu was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people and walked around the headquarters of the 63rd Regiment.Be optimistic about the terrain and surrounding environment in advance.

At two o'clock in the morning, Gao Jiu climbed over the wall and left the yard, and came outside the Japanese barracks. Seeing no one around, he climbed in through the fence.

Gao Jiu had already been here last time, so it can be said that he is familiar with the road.He quickly came to the back of the small two-story building where the Japanese army's joint headquarters was located, took off the hook on his back, connected the telephone line to a section of telephone line near the wall, and then buried the telephone line On the ground, to the edge of the wall, and fixed to the back of a plane tree near the wall.

He climbed up the tree trunk, and from the big tree, he threw the reel into a big tree opposite the small street behind the fence, so that the telephone wire passed through the dense branches and leaves of the two trees, Even if you are standing on the ground facing the telephone line, it is difficult to find that there is a telephone line passing through it without careful observation.

The telephone line in this section is relatively easy to hide, and the next section is more difficult.

The big tree on the opposite side happened to have no branches on the side close to the nearby roof. If the telephone line was pulled directly from there, at least a section of 3 meters would be suspended in the air, and it would be easy to be found.

Gao Jiu climbed up the big tree, and cut a triangular gap with a dagger near the root of a side trunk, leaving a part still connected to the trunk.With great strength, he twisted the tree trunk to the direction of the roof with his hands, and then fixed it to the trunk with ropes.

In this way, if you don't observe carefully, outsiders will see the trunk and think it has grown like this.Telephone wires were pulled through the thick foliage of this tree trunk.

Gao Jiu went up to the roof, fixed the telephone line to the roof, and entered the small yard they rented.He then pulled the phone wire into the room through a window at the back of the house.

Gao Jiu, Huang Banxian'er, Wang Youfu, and Li Shuying, each of them changed shifts every two hours, and began to monitor patiently.

For Wang Youfu and Li Shuying, Gao Jiu was not worried that they would be passive and sabotage.Because, both of them know the stakes.

Huang Banxian'er was utterly unreasonable, and had already told them that if something went wrong, even if he and Gao Jiu made a mistake, important information was missed.Then the responsibility will also be blamed on the two of them.

The two couldn't laugh or cry, but they didn't dare to refute Huang Banxian'er.

Of course, Gao Jiu also told them that as long as they can complete this mission, everyone will reward them with 100 oceans.Wang Youfu earns 8 yuan a month as a translator, and Li Shuying only earns 100 yuan a month as a middle school teacher.This [-] oceans is not a small sum for them.

So when it was their turn to monitor, the two of them were extremely serious, not even daring to doze off.

Two days passed, Gao Jiu and the others didn't get anything.

On the Pingtai Highway, Zhang Quan was wearing the uniform of the public security army, and led Li Chengwu, Shi Jianlong, and Liang Shihu, these serious security forces, to wait on the side of the road at the appointed time.They sat on the side of the road, looking as if they were resting after the march.

Not long after, Zhang Quan saw two trucks approaching in the distance.According to the appearance of the truck that Gao Jiu told them in advance, Zhang Quan knew that the goods they were going to pick up were coming.

Ten minutes later, the two trucks arrived.Zhang Quan and others stood in the middle of the road and stopped the two cars.

This time, Zhang Quan and the others came together, as well as engineer Yue Lin.Zhang Quan and the others didn't know these devices, so they brought him here specially.

Yue Lin got into the car and took a look, feeling very excited.There are not only generators on the car, but also a large number of electrical equipment.There are also many other industrial equipment, such as electric welders, electric drills, electric welders, electric grindstones, pliers, screwdrivers, wrenches, etc., which are urgently needed on Taohua Mountain, and two trucks are fully loaded.

For Gao Jiu, Xiao Yuanshan really spent all his money, the things on the car are worth at least several thousand oceans.

In addition, there were six skilled workers in the car, which Xiao Yuanshan specially prepared for Gao Jiu.

These workers did not know that they would be stopped on the way, and they would be left in Taohuashan in the future.As for their family members, Xiao Yuanshan has already made arrangements.

Zhang Quan and others got into the car, turned the car around, walked forward for more than ten miles, turned on the road leading to Shoucheng County, and drove directly to Taoyuan Town.

The county seat of Lu County.

4:30 this afternoon.Wang Youfu, who was on duty, finally heard the news he had been waiting for for a long time: the Japanese army's equipment department called the ammunition depot and told them that at 9:40 am tomorrow morning, a large number of weapons and ammunition would arrive and they should be ready for storage. .After he recorded it, he hurriedly notified Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu then began to monitor and confirmed the accuracy of the information provided by Wang Youfu.

However, he heard a piece of news that made him feel a little headache.
