    Chapter 463 Autumn Harvest and Winter Storage 21

    When the last batch of Japanese and puppet troops arrived in Zhongguo Village, the fire in the village had just been extinguished. The village was full of broken walls that were burned black by the fire, and some unburned firewood stacks were still emitting wisps of smoke.  (, "")

    All of this is of course the illustrious military exploits of the previous batch of "Locust Army" who came from Shuizhi. Looking at the dead village, the "Locust Army" who withdrew from the New Fifth Army position had no interest in medical treatment, so they left angrily.

    But it was not that easy to leave. The newly formed first regiment of the New Fifth Army was nearby. The Japanese soldiers sent out came into contact with them from time to time, and there were several minor gun battles.

    The New Fifth Army's maggot-like actions make the Japanese army very uncomfortable. They really have to draw up their posture and fight. The New Fifth Army can run faster than rabbits and can't hit them. If the troops really start to march and retreat,  The New Fifth Army has been following closely behind, looming.  Water is unpredictable and soldiers are unpredictable. Who can guarantee that the New Fifth Army will not launch a fatal attack?

    In fact, the New Fifth Army now has to maintain close contact with the mopping up Japanese troops. This is because orders from the First Theater Command require them to conduct a major counterattack.

    Li Qinglin¡¯s Ninth Detachment decided to send troops to rescue the siege. At the same time as they sent troops, Chief of Staff Liu Changda and Director of Political Training Liang Xixian sent a telegram to the First Theater Zone to express their determination to fight and requested reinforcements. At the same time, the New Fifth Army immediately launched a counterattack.

    In the ** army, there were very few opportunities for active reinforcements between teams from different factions. The First War Zone immediately issued an order to the New Fifth Army, requiring them to immediately adjust their deployment when the ninth detachment sent troops, and strive to attack small groups that went deep into their jurisdiction.  The Japanese and puppet troops launched a major counterattack.

    The New Fifth Army is of course very concerned about its territory, but for Sun Dianying, having soldiers and guns is the most important thing.  Sun Dianying, who had raised the team several times and stepped down several times, had long understood the truth, that is, a bare commander was not even as good as a bandit leader with a team.  Regarding the counterattack order sent from the First War Zone, Sun Dianying was naturally conceited and turned against it. But when it came to attacking, it was absolutely impossible.

    The reinforcements of the Ninth Detachment have long returned to their stations, and the enemy and ourselves are constantly moving in this state of ambiguity.  Because there were already two Japanese troops on the battlefield, Li Qinglin and the others did not dare to be careless at all. They mobilized a part of the team to go to Xiashengou. The ninth detachment was ready for a big battle with the Japanese and puppet troops at any time.

    However, the closely monitored Japanese and puppet troops did not launch an attack on the ninth detachment. Their actions surprised everyone.  The first batch of Japanese and puppet troops that invaded the area occupied by the New Fifth Army immediately withdrew back to Shuizhi after they came out of Zhongguo Village. However, the second batch of troops who came out from Shuizhi to respond turned around and headed south. They seemed not to be interested in the ninth detachment at all.  interest.

    What does the enemy want to do?  Li Qinglin, who got the enemy's marching route, immediately thought that the enemy's real target this time was probably the Eighth Route Army stationed in the Hu's shack.

    At this moment, information from Pan Kewei and Yan Boling was also sent via Feige.

    It was learned from the intelligence that the first batch of Japanese and puppet troops to attack the New Fifth Army had robbed a lot of grain and livestock. On the one hand, they went back because they were exhausted from the continuous battles and the troops needed to rest and recuperate; secondly, they also wanted to use these "supply rice"  "Send it to the rear area to prepare for the coming of winter.

    The destination of the second batch of urgently dispatched troops was unknown, and Pan Kewei estimated that they were probably heading towards the Eighth Route.  However, the strength of this unit is not very large. Judging from the general situation, such a small force sent by the Japanese army is not enough to carry out a "mopping up" of the Eighth Route Army.

    The Japanese seem to be heading south rapidly, but are they really not interested in the ninth detachment?  No one dares to make this judgment.  In order to prepare for the battle, Li Qinglin convened a military meeting with officers above the captain level. The content of the meeting was to study who the enemy's next attack target would be.

    "Could they be taking our retreat?" Liu Changda expressed his worries as soon as he opened his mouth. "We sent troops to cut off the retreat of the Japanese and puppet troops attacking the New Fifth Army, and then they withdrew their troops. The Japs may have already  It has been found that the heavy troops of our ninth detachment have basically been transferred to Xiashengou. Will this new force they sent take advantage of the emptiness in our rear to launch an attack?"

    "This is very possible. There are still many enemies on the Shuizhi side who have not yet been dispatched. Maybe after this group of enemies is in place, they will immediately send troops to raid us?" Liang Xixian obviously agreed with Liu Changda's point of view.

    Li Qinglin thought for a while and said: "If they are really preparing to deal with us, isn't their initiative to go south to steal our retreat this time too obvious? How could we not be prepared under such an obvious threat?  Under such circumstances, no opponent can sit back and wait to be beaten.??Can a commander be so naive?  "

    Han Jizhong said: "The enemy is playing so many tricks. I think they are definitely not going to deal with us. Instead, they are probably going to attack the Eighth Route Army."

    "Attack on the Eighth Route?" Liu Changda was very confused. He picked up the compass issued by his superiors, rolled the compass' measuring wheel on the map, and then said: "With such a long distance, they have to reach it  The effect of the rush is impossible, this kind of action is difficult to explain."

    Liang Xixian turned to Han Jizhong and asked, "Is there anything happening at the cold water shop recently?"

    Han Jizhong shook his head and said: "It's the same over there as before, nothing has changed."

    "No additional personnel? No signs of troop mobilization?" Liang Xixian was worried and asked again.

    "No!" Han Jizhong shook his head.

    "This is strange. Since they want to attack the Eighth Route Army, it is very unreasonable to have such a small force and make such a big noise." Liu Changda said to himself.

    "In any case, if the enemy moves, we will move as well. The teams that were previously transferred to Xiashangou will immediately return to the organizational structure of each department. All units will continue to strengthen their security and be ready for battle at any time to prevent the enemy from making a surprise attack on our department." See everyone's discussion  There was no result after many discussions, Li Qinglin said flatly.

    Li Qinglin is the supreme commander of the ninth detachment. He has made a decision, which is naturally the final order. The others suddenly fell silent, and then everyone nodded in agreement.  But after a while, several brigade captains began to get angry at the munitions director Luo Dafu. They unanimously asked Luo Dafu to increase the distribution of ammunition, and also asked Luo Dafu to increase the distribution of military pay and funds.

    "What's going on?" Li Qinglin turned around and asked Luo Dafu, with annoyance in his voice.

    Li Qinglin was very annoyed that a unit confronting the enemy had insufficient ammunition and food.  In Li Qinglin's impression, the problems of ammunition and food and wages of the Ninth Detachment have been basically solved a long time ago, but now the grassroots commanders are clamoring for supplies. Li Qinglin thinks that this is probably due to some manipulation by the quartermaster.

    Li Qinglin is not a young officer who just came out of the military academy and is inexperienced in the world. He has been promoted from the elite camp and fought to the death on the battlefield. He knows all about the tricks in the ** army.  The captains of the Ninth Detachment are all Li Qinglin's confidants. These people will never embezzle or sell ammunition privately or deduct military pay. Now that these people are making trouble because of the ammunition supply, it means that there is something wrong with the detachment's quartermaster.

    Since Luo Dafu came to the Ninth Detachment, Luo Dafu has been living a happy life in the Ninth Detachment because of the care of his cousin Chen Tao.  It is impossible to say that Luo Dafu, as a quartermaster, made no profit at all, but to say that he embezzled and embezzled, it is really an injustice to him.

    Seeing Li Qinglin¡¯s gloomy gaze looking over, Luo Dafu panicked a little.  In the Ninth Detachment, Li Qinglin was a man of his word, and the officers and soldiers under him were all loyal followers. Luo Dafu knew this very well. Now that Li Qinglin looked over with suspicion, how could Luo Dafu not be worried?  shock.

    "Commander, I didn't hide it. I distributed everything that should be distributed and everything that could be distributed. There is an account book to check." Luo Dafu hurriedly defended.

    Li Qinglin didn¡¯t say anything, but looked at Luo Dafu coldly.

    Luo Dafu broke out in cold sweat. He stammered: "Commander, our ninth detachment is relatively sufficient in terms of ammunition and food, and there is basically no deduction in the war zone. However, the Japanese have recently tightened the blockade, and our supplies  Now it can only be transported through mountain roads. As you know, due to the limited number of mules and horses and the tight enemy blockade, the ammunition distributed in the theater this month has not yet been delivered. We have been in  We have stepped up military training, all units have increased live-fire training, and even the People's Self-Defense Corps has issued some additional bullets. Therefore, after our current emergency distribution of ammunition, the ammunition storage in the detachment warehouse only has a base. Especially for mortar shells, we  There isn¡¯t even a round stored in the warehouse.¡±

    Troop training has been stepped up in recent times. This was arranged by Li Qinglin himself. Of course he knew it, but Li Qinglin did not expect that the army's ammunition would be affected due to insufficient supplies in the theater.

    Seeing Luo Dafu's expression, Li Qinglin knew that he was not lying. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned to Han Jizhong and said, "Can we get some bullets from the puppet troops in Yanglouzi Village?"

    Han Jizhong smiled bitterly and said: "We used to get a lot from them, but now the Japanese have learned a lot. They have strictly controlled the consumption of ammunition by the puppet army. Each puppet army is issued a base amount of ammunition. If trained  Once the ammunition is consumed, or consumed in combat, they have to exchange bullet casings for bullets, and it is now difficult to obtain ammunition from the puppet troops."

      We don¡¯t know when the ammunition from the war zone will be delivered, but the enemy is already approaching our doorstep, and a big war is likely to happen. The problem of insufficient ammunition is indeed a headache.

    Li Qinglin looked around for a week and said to everyone: "If any of you have a way out, tell us now! We must replenish the ammunition as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for us to resist the enemy."
