Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 938 I'm all excited about 'poetry'!

Of course, in addition to the top three items of food, silver melon and machinery, the Four Elements Group also found a lot of good things.

For example, in the field hospital affiliated to the division headquarters of the Japanese Army, the soldiers found a lot of medicines and medical equipment that were too late to remove. They treat these small bottles and jars as treasures.

The 108th Division is definitely a fat sheep, and those Japanese troops who have no time to move away have a small half of the warehouse.

Heizi and the others are of course not stupid. Whether it is medicine or food, these things to be imported are not necessarily safe. What if the Japanese deliberately do not damage them and poison them when they leave?This has happened many times in the military wars of the past dynasties. Even the Four Elements Regiment did the same thing. When Guangde City carried out an emergency evacuation, many supplies and food could not be moved, and they dumped feces on the food!

All medicines and food were sealed up on the spot before Tang Dao led the main force to arrive, and no one was allowed to move rashly.

After Tang Dao arrived, he praised the treatment of Heizi and others. All the medicines, food, meat and other things that you want to eat here will be sampled for testing. Fortunately, the students of Teacher Xiao He are enough More than 200 people stayed, and many of them were engaged in biology.

That is also the main force that Tang Dao will purify 'penicillin' in the future. Several of them have excellent grades and want to leave because they feel that they have little use in the Four Elements Group. left.

Of course, in addition to this method, Tang Dao also ordered people to visit and investigate the residents in the city. He learned that it took less than 15 minutes for the Japanese army to gather and leave the city.

Moreover, based on Tang Dao's understanding of the Japanese nation, they are extremely paranoid. Once the animal nature in their hearts is not restricted by rules, they will become devils. There may be extravagance and fine economy, but it will never be easily wasted.

These are too late to take away in a hurry and can only be forced to be left behind. Most of them are reluctant to destroy them!After all, it is still unknown whether the Chinese dare to lead troops into Lucheng. If the Chinese feel that they have taken advantage enough, they just turn around and leave, and the supplies will be polluted for nothing!

This is indeed a gamble, but the Japanese began to covet their strong neighbor hundreds of years ago. Wasn't it a gamble?

Whether it is the Japanese pirates who frequently invaded the border since the Ming Dynasty, or the "Jiawu War" in modern history, or the September [-]th Incident that broke out a few years ago, or the July [-]th Incident that is close at hand, the country is only a few days away from China. One tenth, nearly one eighth of the island population is gambling.

And, most of them gambled, and they all succeeded!
It is obviously more difficult for a gambler who often gains profits at the gaming table to keep him away from the gaming table than a red-eyed gambler!

The possibility of the safety of this batch of materials is very high!

But for Tang Dao, who was smiling all over his face at this time, his head hurt a little!
On the other side of Licheng, there are still a large amount of materials that are being transported hard, and almost all the transportation capacity of the Four Elements Group and most of the young people in Licheng have been used. As far as that is concerned, according to the report of Zhuang Shisan who is in charge of the general dispatch over there, it will take at least 48 hours. Finish.

For this reason, Lei Xiong's No. 108 Battalion and Bai Sheng's Engineer Company No. [-] were still desperately building fortifications in the Dongyang Pass area. If the main force assembled by the [-]th Division came to Licheng, they would have to bleed for supplies this time.

Because that is the key to whether the Four Elements Group can really gain a foothold in the Taihang Mountains.

The mountains and rivers of the Taihang Mountains are sufficient to protect the Chinese soldiers who fled into the mountains, but everything has two sides. It is extremely difficult to feed thousands of people from the 683 Brigade on the barren land. If you add the 5000 members of the Four Elements Regiment and their families, and move into the mountains to prevent the Japanese army from retaliating There are 6000 residents of Licheng, which is really hard for everyone to uncover.

What now? More than 75 catties of grain!There are also various machine tools and boilers weighing more than ten tons.
I have no choice but to ask Brigadier Cheng for help.

Tang Dao's first call was to call Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who was still in the Beiganling area 6 kilometers away and started to build fortifications. He didn't say anything else, just sent a line: seized a large amount of food stored by the Japanese invaders!Urgent need for transportation, hurry up!

Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang is really extraordinary this time. Originally, the brigade wanted his third battalion to clean up the battlefield with the 771st Regiment who was still searching for various seized items on the battlefield. Be careful, it means that when the time comes, the spoils will never be less than a penny of your 771 regiment.

But Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group, who were still a little worried about marching towards Lucheng, suppressed their careful thinking about the spoils for the first time, and did not participate in cleaning the battlefield at all, and directly led the third battalion along the planned The fortifications began to be built in the position area, and Tang Dao treated him well. He promised that Tang Dao would become the strongest backing of the Four Elements Group, so he must keep his promise.

Wang Xiaoqiang even planned the anti-blasting hole, which is to prepare for the worst.

He is worthy of Tang Dao, and Tang Dao, who knows him well enough from history books, is also worthy of him, and everyone eats meat together.

"Brothers, stop for me, and immediately order the first battalion and the second battalion to return to the station except for escorting the wounded, including escorting the surrendered troops. All turn around and turn back. The direction of march is Lucheng!" In seconds, the military order was issued.

"Deputy commander, the head of the first battalion and the second battalion ordered the escort of the 769 regiment to return to the station! If you do this, the commander will have an opinion." The commander of the third battalion of the 772 regiment was a little dumbfounded and dropped his hands. The tools that are digging the soil, hurriedly persuaded.

"Hehe, Lao Xiao, I can assure you that the chief will not blame me, but also praise me for making a quick decision. Believe it or not? The chief has already started to turn around right now!" Wang Xiaoqiang said with a confident smile.

You are so ordinary, yet so confident!A few years ago, the commander of the third battalion, whose subordinate was regarded as an old comrade-in-arms, definitely had such an inner OS at that moment!

The head of the brigade, the brigade headquarters, and the guard battalion accompanied the 769th regiment for at least 6 miles. What news can make their army turn around?What, Lucheng discovered a gold mine?

Of course, this major who was once a brigade commander did not know that the things in Lucheng are more expensive than gold mines. They are 75 catties of grain, a small military factory that can produce equipment for an infantry company a month, and an infantry company. One month's salary for the division, as well as medicines that can save all the wounded officers and soldiers in this war!

Any one of them is worth turning around by the head of the army, let alone a few of them.

What is a mere few miles?
"Look, Old Xu, isn't he all running towards us!" 'Pu Xinnan' Wang Xiaoqiang grinned and pouted down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a fine horse galloped towards this side with a soldier.

"What are you doing? Old Xu, you ran so hard to report to me, did you find a gun or a cannon?" Wang Xiaoqiang stepped forward to tease his old comrade-in-arms.

Back then, they were all military chiefs at the same level, but now Xu is the regiment leader, and he is the deputy regiment commander, even if he is the third in command, Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who has been so strong since childhood, finds his old comrade-in-arms so disliked.

As soon as we meet each other, I feel uncomfortable if I say a few words that are not yin and yang.

"Fuck you, the brigade has ordered that we all gather in Lucheng. Except for part of the transport capacity used to transport the seized goods, we will save all transport capacity to transport food! The regiment leader is not allowed to ride a horse!" Lao Xu, who has always been calm, jumped up this time. The foot returned a mouthful. "Hey, more than 70 catties of grain!"

"Damn it!" Wang Xiaoqiang and the commander of the third battalion almost had their eyeballs pop out of their sockets.

more than 70 catties!To be honest, since the 921st Division entered this mountain, it has never seen more than 200,000 catties of grain. It is an infantry division with a total strength of more than 200,000 people! The [-] catties of grain have not been seen, what do you think it was like?
Especially during the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, I had the hardest time. From the head of the division to the newly recruited second-class soldiers, the rice in the bowl of each meal was so good that I could count it. It wasn’t the Japanese who gave some heads from time to time. The villagers tightened their belts and even took out the seeds that will be planted in the next spring for support. The 921 Division has long been unable to hold on.

Not to mention anything else, just the 700,000 catties of grain, mixed with some wild vegetables, corn noodles, etc., is enough to feed nearly 921 people in Division [-] for two months. problem.

"The chief said that the regiment transported a lot of food, and when the time comes, it will be distributed proportionally!" The head of the 771 regiment, Xu, is definitely a kind person, and he conveyed the telegram sent by the brigade without any difference. .

"Old Xiao, what are you doing in a daze, let's go!" Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang ran away. "By the way, don't forget to give the comrades of the 771st regiment all the rifles and machine guns we captured. The chief has confessed that the 771st regiment is the main force for cleaning the battlefield!"

"Yes!" The third battalion commander blinked and stood at attention with his legs together.

"Wori, you are Nainai's leg, Wang Xiaoqiang, you are really good!" Xu, the head of the 771 regiment, almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Even though he already knew his old comrade-in-arms very well, he still overestimated his bottom line.

The front quietly kept the captured rifles and machine guns. Who would say that he was hiding something for himself? This Cliff said that it was because he needed to strengthen the firepower for the rear of the Four Elements Regiment. Now it is said that all transportation forces must be concentrated. For the food, Bi Lian is not needed, and he is talking about the military order of the brigade, but he is really a good guy!
"Haha! Old Xu! Don't worry, for the sake of old comrades in arms, when you come to my 771 regiment, I, Wang Xiaoqiang, promise to have enough rice. Even if you eat three bowls, I will pile you up! Roll your eyes!" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed so happily.

"I don't care, you come to my place so stupidly, I invite you to drink the northwest wind! Drink nine meals in three days!" Xu Datuan turned around and went down the mountain.

What the hell!Didn't he seize thousands of rifles and a few cannons here?But he still has two thousand strong men and hundreds of draft horses searched from the battlefield, he can't believe that he transported less than the 771 regiment.

"Deputy commander, if you are so angry with Commander Xu, don't he carry the grain bag by himself in a fit of anger. His waist has an old injury and he can't bear it!" I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Hey! That's because you don't understand this old brother Xu! Our big brother is born with a big brother's heart. Do you know that when he was reorganizing, after hearing about the arrangement of the group army, he specially found the division chief , Said that I was brave in battle, and wanted to give up his position to me, and was criticized by the chief for this! It has been decided in the organization, so where can we be picky?" Wang Xiaoqiang explained with a chuckle .

"If I don't provoke him, it won't work. He thought about the last battle at Dongyangguan. My 772 regiment suffered a lot of losses, was short of manpower, and was not as good as his 771 regiment in terms of transport capacity. Let Kong Rong make pears again, this big brother! I He agreed with the 772 regiment, but he harmed the interests of the entire 771 regiment! After all, everyone wants to have more meals, right?
What's more, Brother Tang needs manpower, more than 70 catties of grain, if you don't fight hard, it will be so easy to move away, and I don't know when the Japanese plane will come! "

"Deputy regiment commander, you are this!" The commander of the third battalion suddenly realized that he gave his own leader a hearty thumbs up.

"Don't shoot the horses, save some energy and move more food! But there are still dozens of miles of mountain roads to go back to the station! This is no easier than fighting!" Wang Xiaoqiang stretched his armed belt, looked at Lucheng in the distance, and recited a poem.

"I haven't moved the rice and white noodles yet, but my belly is already shaking. The damn devil gave me too much, and I have to carry it when I turn around!"

"Fuck! When did the deputy head learn culture behind our backs? This poem is recited so well that it not only has a good rhyme, but is also so easy to understand!" The third battalion commander and the officers and soldiers of the 772nd regiment who heard this poem together face worship.

This poem was finally recorded in the memoirs written by a certain general in his later years. Only then did he see the light of day. A certain group who had already entered the octogenarian age was immediately shocked and clapped his hands against the big eyes of his granddaughter who was struggling to open wide. 'Good poem!good poem! '

Those who have never experienced war know war there, even if they were born in a military family!

The white-haired old man hunched his back, laughed and looked at the Monument to the People's Heroes while leaning on a cane. While recalling the turbulent war years, he also remembered his old comrade who passed away due to illness.

The iron-blooded tough guy who was not defeated by the flames of war did not withstand the erosion of time in the end!

There are very few comrades-in-arms of the same era who can still call him to greet him.

Fortunately, many of them saw the prosperity of China that he had promised them.

But at this time, these best young people in China have to shoulder their hopes for a prosperous future!
They may not have imagined that in China, which will enter the prosperous age in the future, the annual grain production will be a multiple of millions of what they are facing at this time!

According to records, in addition to the 769th regiment continuing to carry the remains of all the sacrificed officers and soldiers and the wounded continuing to retreat, the 683st and 771nd regiments of the 772rd brigade, as well as the supplementary regiment that originally transported Shentouling and captured it back to the station, the brigade headquarters is directly under the security battalion. A total of more than 5600 officers and soldiers from the battalion participated in this large-scale transportation.

The Four Elements Regiment had only one main battalion, but Tang Dao, who entered Lucheng, suppressed dozens of traitors, large and small, who had not had time to escape in Lucheng, and recruited nearly a thousand young men from Lucheng to join the 921 Division with their family property as reward. As a reserve, with grain as funds, he bought all the donkeys, horses, and carts in Lucheng.

These are not enough to transport the hundreds of thousands of catties of grain. Tang Dao simply sacrificed a large sum of money, distributing ten catties of white flour to every household in Lucheng. The Japanese army informed the neighbors that someone joined the army, and they were also inseparable from the ones who took the food.

Later, the Japanese soldiers who returned to Lucheng were unable to get the first-hand real inside story. All the traitors who had taken refuge in them were executed on the spot. You have to close the door, only know that the footsteps are bursting, there must be a lot of people, and you don't know anything else.

The Japanese army was also helpless. Lucheng was not Licheng. They gave up voluntarily. They couldn’t find an excuse to retaliate. They also needed to restore the blood-forming ability of cities in various places. They couldn’t occupy a city and slaughter it. Farming, no business, did they occupy it to eat the soil?

According to Tang Tuanzuo's arrangement, the entire transportation process is divided into three sections.

First transport a large amount of materials to Beiganling, then from Beiganling to Shentouling, and then to the 683 brigade station!
The advantage of this is that it can be concealed in the mountains to avoid air raids by Japanese aircraft. In addition, there are some positions in Beiganling, and the 108th Division has the guts to fight them. It can also be used here to fight them again. In addition, it can save the strength of the officers and soldiers. One cannot, as Wang Xiaoqiang said, would rather die of exhaustion in order to fill one's belly.

The 683 brigade is also organizing mountain people to rush to Shentouling at night, and transfer all the food supplies away by manual relay.

Good guy, Tang Dao has seen the appeal of the [-]th Army, and when he arrived at Shentouling in the early morning of the second day, there were dots all over the mountains and plains.

All are torches played by mountain people, at least two to 30,000 people.

On Lucheng's side, there is no distinction between brigade commanders and regimental commanders, and everyone is carrying food packages or supplies.

Relying on these more than [-] people plus the requisitioned donkeys and horses, it took one night to forcefully evacuate all the materials in Lucheng.

Excluding the food sent to the residents of Lucheng, plus the food consumed by tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the road, the food that was finally transported back to the garrison was counted, and it was 69 catties!

The rest of the seized materials are the same, and there is an extra more than 50,000 oceans, which were all found from the houses of the suppressed traitors.

A bumper harvest, a real bumper harvest!

This is also the beginning of a real inventory of the weapons and equipment seized in this campaign.
