    Xiao Huang was confused by Jin Er Leng's rogue behavior: "Jin Er Leng, you bastard! You are forcing women, you are committing a crime. I tell you, we will definitely rescue Xiao He"

    Xiao Huang was furious, and he touched his waist with his right hand at the same time. In fact, Xiao Huang didn't bring a gun at all today. This action was a habitual action for a soldier.

    Seeing Xiao Huang reaching out to touch the gun, Jin Er Leng immediately took the gun off his shoulder. "Crack!" With a sound, Jin Er Leng loaded the gun like lightning, and at the same time raised the gun and aimed at Xiao Huang.

    While Zhou Yougen was recuperating from his injuries, he taught Jin Erlen many tactical moves. Jin Erlen also practiced diligently after being instructed by an expert. Naturally, he was extremely skilled and neat in preparations for shooting like this.

    Although Xiao Huang is a political cadre, he is also a soldier. Xiao Huang certainly knows what it means to be targeted by a loaded gun.

    He Ping had already hid in the inner room. Jin Er stood at the door and aimed his gun at Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang stood stiffly in the middle of the yard. He was covered in cold sweat and did not dare to move.  It was also the first time for Sister-in-law Juhua to encounter this situation. She was also stunned by the scene.

    Sister-in-law Juhua is a local, and she grew up watching Jin Erleng.

    Everyone thinks that Jin Erleng is a bastard, but he didn't just grow up like this when he was born from his mother's womb. Jin Erleng was originally a hardworking and hard-working young man from a farm family, but he only became a bastard after experiencing many hardships and ups and downs after his parents died.  Like this.  Although Jin Erleng's name is unknown, Sister-in-law Juhua knows that Jin Erleng is still a kind person in nature. This can be seen from his initiative to treat Zhou Yougen.

    I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but the first one among the three to react was Sister-in-law Juhua.  She said with a smile: "You idiot, Mr. Huang is a member of the Eighth Route Army. He is not a bad person. The purpose of coming today is for your own good, so don't be a fool."

    "What's wrong with the Eighth Route Army? The Eighth Route Army can be unreasonable? He Ping is my prisoner, and it's my business to deal with her. Why do you have to interfere?" Jin Er said coldly: "Let's talk about it. We have already done it.  We are married, why do you want to break us up?"

    Sister-in-law Juhua smiled apologetically and said: "Second fool, we are not here to deliver food today. Didn't we take her away? Second fool, put down the gun and let us have a good talk."

    "What are you talking about? What else is there to say?" Jin Er said blankly: "You go out, there is nothing left to say between us."

    From the corner of his eye, Jin Erleng saw Sister-in-law Juhua moving slightly toward him. Jin Erleng said sternly: "Sister-in-law Juhua, we are all fellow villagers. For your sake, I won't say much today. You guys will come right away.  Get out. Otherwise I will really shoot!"

    Seeing that Jin Erleng was extremely determined, Sister-in-law Juhua had to give up the idea of ??persuading Jin Erleng. She walked to Xiao Huang and pulled Xiao Huang out of Jin Erleng's yard.  When they walked out of the yard, Jin Er froze and slammed the yard door behind them.

    After leaving the yard, Xiao Huang wiped the sweat from his head and said gratefully: "Sister-in-law Juhua, I really want to thank you very much today."

    Sister-in-law Juhua said with a smile: "This fool, I really can't reason with him."

    Xiao Huang turned to look at the closed courtyard door of Jin Erling's house, and said bitterly: "This Jin Erling bullies men and dominates women. He is obviously a bandit, a gangster, and a villain. In doing so, he is working against the anti-Japanese government.  , this kind of behavior is the behavior of a traitor. After I go back, I must report it to my superiors and ask my superiors to take action to eliminate this traitor."

    Xiao Huang's words shocked Sister-in-law Juhua. She kept saying: "It can't be done. This is really impossible! Although Jin Erleng is a gangster, he has never been a traitor. He is just a farmer. What he is doing now  He just regards He Ping as his wife, and he wants to hide He Ping in his home. He takes it seriously and doesn't want you to take his wife away."

    Seeing Xiao Huang's gloomy face and not speaking, Sister-in-law Juhua said: "Xiao Huang, didn't the political commissar explain it before we came here? Jin Erleng had a gun in his hand. Although he was not the Eighth Route Army or a militiaman, he was fighting against the Japanese and traitors.  , have never fought against the Eighth Route Army, nor have they colluded with the Kuomintang die-hards. Such people are the ones we strive for unity with, not the ones we fight against, let alone our enemies."

    Liu Zhenghong had explained this before they came. Although Xiao Huang was angry, it was difficult to say anything now. However, the figure of Jin Er Leng aiming his gun just now, and Jin Er Leng's cold eyes would always be engraved in his mind.  Xiao Huang's heart.

    The rain and snow that the farmers were looking forward to did not come as expected, but the temperature was getting higher day by day.

    Spring is here, people begin to take off their thick winter clothes, and dots of green begin to appear on the earth.  Some farmers began to prepare for farming in the fields. The soil moisture was indeed not good this year, and the strong wind raised dust all over the sky.?, which makes farmers feel gloomy.

    Li Qinglin¡¯s mood has never been better.

    Spring is here, and the ground should be covered with green grass. The mules and horses that have eaten hay all winter should have fresh grass to eat, but now there is only a little bit of green grass sprouting, and the mules and horses still have to eat the food stored last year.  Hay, livestock in spring should eat green grass to gain weight, but these mules and horses are still losing weight, which has now obviously affected the combat effectiveness of the cavalry troops.

    Although there was a little drizzle in the spring, the drizzle was really very small. It only wet the ground, and then it was sunny for many consecutive days. Some experienced farmers said that there will definitely be a spring drought this year, and they rely on the weather for their livelihood.  The farmers are very worried.

    After a winter's rest, the Japs are now becoming active again.  They not only hide in strong strongholds and gun towers, but these bad guys also come out from time to time to harass them.

    The Japanese and puppet troops did not concentrate their forces on large-scale mopping up operations throughout the spring. They have now adopted another method of warfare.  The Japanese would sometimes gather a small group of troops, such as one or two squads, and bring one or two squadrons of puppet troops. When they felt that the troops were sufficient, they would suddenly rush over. These Japanese puppet troops were not looking for Japanese troops like before.  The anti-Japanese forces fought a decisive battle, but went back immediately after burning, killing and looting.

    The sudden change in the Japanese tactics caught both the Kuomintang and the Communist armies by surprise.  Since the Japanese invaders entered China, they have been relying on their superior military strength to attack hard. In order to eliminate the anti-Japanese forces to the maximum extent, they often pursue the anti-Japanese troops once they bite the enemy.  The Japs have better weapons and equipment, strong individual combat effectiveness, and very flexible tactics. This move of theirs can often defeat soldiers with poor training and weak fighting will, so they have succeeded repeatedly with this tactic alone.

    But now they have changed their tactics that have always been successful, and instead adopted a hit-and-run approach. This is really beyond everyone's expectation.

    The Japs' tactics have undergone major changes. Although their military operations did not directly cause many casualties to the anti-Japanese troops, nor did they even cause direct harm to the common people, after they came over, the common people in the Kuomintang-controlled areas had to flee for their lives, and the army had to flee as well.  To prepare for war, agricultural, animal husbandry and fishery production such as spring plowing will inevitably be affected, and these incomes are the foundation of the Ninth Detachment and the Eighth Route Army, which are in difficulty.

    Throughout the spring, Li Qinglin and his team dealt with the Japanese and puppet troops.  Although the Ninth Detachment has not yet experienced a shortage of food and ammunition, the logistical supplies from the rear have basically been cut off, and the lack of strong men has been replaced. Therefore, Li Qinglin does not dare to launch a larger battle easily, as long as the Japanese  Instead of launching a large-scale attack, Li Qinglin only directed the army and civilians to deal with small groups of enemies.

    In this dry spring, the Eighth Route Army implemented a policy of rest and recuperation due to the huge casualties they suffered last winter. Li Qinglin also took a defensive position due to its own reasons. The military and political attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops in northern Henan became more and more intense; and on the southern front,  , the Kuomintang army was defeated thousands of miles away, and the Japanese and puppet troops broadcast and newspaper publicized the news of their military victory every day. A mood of defeat began to permeate the northern Henan region.

    The war is still going on. People need to survive, and the first factor for survival is food. Food production is the top priority at the moment. Li Qinglin and Liu Zhenghong both began to pay attention to Qichungen production.

    The ninth detachment is located in a hilly area. Farmers' land is basically on both sides of the river, and there are not many irrigated lands that can naturally divert water.  Because of last year's winter drought and this year's spring drought, the moisture content of the land is very poor. Some of the land far away from the river is so dry that it cannot be squeezed into a ball. If we want to plant this year's food, we urgently need to divert water for irrigation, but the water flow in the river is very small.  , ordinary people don¡¯t have any machinery that can lift water to high places.

    This year¡¯s spring drought has become a foregone conclusion. Many farmers just planted some seeds in the highlands. They focused their main efforts on the land along the river that can carry water to water the seedlings.  As for whether this dry land can grow food, they no longer have much hope. Sowing seeds is just a natural instinct of farmers to cultivate the land, coupled with some hopes that God will open their eyes and a miracle will happen.  That¡¯s all.

    After several years of development, Qinghe, the headquarters of the ninth detachment, has now become a small market town. Businessmen and market-goers come and go every day. Li Qinglin also goes to the market when he has nothing to do.  From the merchants traveling to and from the north, Li Qinglin knew that this year not only the northern Henan region, but the entire Henan and even North China experienced spring drought with different conditions.

    A large area of ??spring drought is definitely not a good thing for Li Qinglin.

    Although the Ninth Detachment can produce food, the output is not high. If we want to feed the thousands of extra people in the Ninth Detachment, we must transport food in from outside.  The supply route for military rations in the rear area has beenWith the supply cut off, the only source now is to buy from enemy-occupied areas.  If the spring drought continues to worsen, a large-scale reduction in grain production this year will be a foregone conclusion. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy grain.

    The food problem has become a big stone in Li Qinglin's heart. This stone weighs Li Qinglin so hard that he can hardly breathe.

    Li Qinglin¡¯s side was full of worries all day long, but over there in the Hu family¡¯s shack, it was a different scene.  (To be continued)
