    In response to Ye Chao's worries, Yang Zhen frowned and said, "Is there anyone in our army who has grown up in this mountainous area? It is best to be someone who has been a hunter and is familiar with the habits of wild beasts. Let's find a way to get it."  Any wild animals? There are mountains here, and the vegetation is lush. There shouldn¡¯t be too many wild animals. I think we can supplement our strength with two wild boars.¡±

    "In short, the same sentence remains. We must reduce all opportunities for exposure as much as possible. Even here, we cannot relax our vigilance. Who can guarantee that there will be no small-scale enemy search forces here? Who can guarantee that the mountain people here will not  Covet the bounty and inform the enemy? "

    "You are the deputy chief of the Operations Section. You should know that in addition to the regular army in the Third War Zone, there are also various security forces. Although these people are not strong in combat effectiveness, they are local snakes and are specially used to control the place. We should  Be careful, no matter what, there is nothing wrong with being careful.¡±

    In response to Yang Zhen's persistence, Ye Chao shook his head helplessly and turned around to make arrangements according to his plan.  There are a lot of wild boars on Chikeng Mountain, but shooting them down will easily reveal their whereabouts.  It's just a trap, and where is it so easy to get enough wild boars to feed nearly a thousand people?

    This can be considered an old district, and the mass base is still good.  Sending someone down the mountain to buy some food wouldn't necessarily expose him.  Even if you can't buy too much, you can at least relieve your urgent needs.  If you are really worried about the whereabouts of the troops being exposed, can the troops be transferred immediately after purchasing the food?  Political Commissar, this is really too cautious.

    Yang Zhen knew very well the reason why Ye Chao shook his head.  The logistics in Wannan have been stable for the past two years. Although we cannot say that we have no worries about food and clothing, it is a good thing that we don¡¯t have to go hungry. We don¡¯t have to fight for a meal every day like when we were fighting guerrillas a few years ago. This has changed some people¡¯s way of thinking.  Become simple.

    Since the establishment of the New Fourth Army, the National Government and the Third War Zone have deducted wages in many ways and have experienced payment arrears several times.  And the number is pitifully small compared to an army, with only 70% of the military pay of a division of the Central Army.  But for these soldiers who are used to living without food and clothing in the deep mountains and old forests, after all, they have a relatively stable source of funding, and they don't have to work hard for a bite to eat.

    With a stable source of funding and seemingly stable supplies at least on the surface, a large number of troops have forgotten the most basic survival instinct they once had.  Although it is winter now, the mountainous areas in southern Anhui are much better than the Northeast where the temperature is over minus 30 degrees and there is snow everywhere.

    The vegetation here is lush, and the wild animals are not almost wiped out by greedy people like in later generations.  There are plenty of wild boars and various herbivores.  Put down a few traps and get a few wild boars, enough for everyone to have a meal with dry food.  If you are lucky and get two deer, it will be even more delicious.

    Not to mention, there is a kind of special delicacy in the bamboo forest all over the mountain. Although it has been artificially cultivated on a large scale in later generations, it is still sold at a sky-high price because of its rich nutrition and special taste.  Although it is winter, as long as there is a bamboo forest, it is not difficult to find the hiding place of these guys.

    In this mountainous area of ??southern Anhui, which is as fertile as the Northeast, it is a little difficult to get enough meat to feed thousands of people, but it is not impossible.  At least in this mountainous area, the number of wild boars, the biggest pest of mountain agriculture, is quite large.  But these basic skills for survival in the wild were forgotten by them after three years of arduous guerrilla warfare.

    It is true that the troops in this area have a mass base, but their thinking is a bit one-sided.  Only the mass base was considered, but no consideration was given to whether the circulation of food would attract the enemy's attention.  It is located in the hinterland of the mountainous area of ??southern Anhui and has a small population.  And due to terrain restrictions, it is not a food producing area.

    Most of the residents here make a living by collecting herbs and hunting.  Even wealthy families mainly engaged in logging and growing tea.  Although it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the output of grain is not large, and the amount of grain that can be purchased is even more limited.  If you want to buy enough grain to feed a thousand people, it would cost more than a thousand kilograms, based on the amount of one kilogram per person.

    And this number, for the surrounding small mountain villages, can be described as an astronomical figure.  Even if the common people contribute all their food to support the troops, they can make up the amount.  But for their own survival, they must go outside the mountains to buy food.

    Once a large amount of grain suddenly enters the mountains, it will definitely cause fluctuations in surrounding grain prices.  And that's not without raising some eyebrows.  The operational staff of the Third Theater and the Thirty-Second Army are not fools. On the contrary, their intelligence collection capabilities are still at a certain level.  If this abnormal situation cannot attract their attention, then the military's intelligence system will be useless.

    As the saying goes, the army moves forward before the food and grass are moved.  Food is the lifeblood of an armyThe most basic element of war, without food, even the most powerful army will be defeated without a fight. After all, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.  The most important thing to block one's opponents is to block the channels for food circulation.  As long as you control the food, it means controlling the opponent's development and even the basis of survival.

    Several mountain villages located deep in the mountains suddenly bought a large amount of grain, which means there must be something abnormal.  He broke through from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao, and his whereabouts have been exposed.  If there is another abnormality in the food on the front line of Chikeng Mountain, then all fools know that they must be hiding on the front line of Chikeng Mountain.  This means that his whereabouts will be completely exposed.

    These cadres only think that the masses here have a good foundation and can purchase a certain amount of food supplements.  But I didn't expect that the troops need to eat, and the people need to eat even more.  Let¡¯s not talk about whether the people here can collect more than a thousand kilograms of food. Even if they can collect enough, they will probably have to wipe out all their wealth.  In order to survive, these people still have to buy food from outside the mountains.

    This is why Yang Zhen insists on trying not to buy food from the people at the foot of the mountain. In addition to the fact that it is difficult to get the required amount of food here, he is also worried that purchasing the required amount of food will inevitably cause a local food shortage.  And once a large amount of food suddenly enters Chikeng Mountain, it means that his traces are exposed.

    The original guerrillas mostly dispersed their activities in groups of dozens, or at most no more than a hundred.  Even if you purchase a certain amount of grain, it will not cause much fluctuation.  Although the number of troops in the army is not large at the moment, there are still thousands of them. It would be strange to buy so much food at once without attracting attention.

    As subordinates, they can ignore these things, but as the supreme commander, it is impossible for them not to consider them.  As long as there is a way to solve the problem, don't go down the mountain if you can.  For me, the supreme commander, it is only a day that I can be exposed later.

    This place is located in a sparsely populated mountainous area. Although the food production is not much, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the vegetation is quite lush.  In addition, the ecology here has not been damaged. The troops went north and there has been no battlefield here. The number of wild animals is quite large.

    As soon as he entered the Chikeng Mountain Area, Yang Zhen saw a group of beautiful sika deer. They were frightened by the troops and ran away in front of him.  There are a lot of wild boars and other animals that can provide meat here.  Although we can't get food, we have enough time, so it's not a problem to get some wild animals to supplement the food shortage.

    I once said in the Northeast that it is a big joke to still be hungry while guarding the mountains with treasures?  Although I can't bear to eat this stuff for a long time, there is still no problem if I occasionally use wild animals to supplement the army's food shortage.  Now and in future generations, hunting down some wild animals will not cause ecological damage.  It's just that some people have forgotten all of this.

    Thinking of this, Yang Zhen shook his head and sighed.  He stood up, looked at the seemingly endless bamboo forest where he was, and took Zhang Zixiong with him to search the bamboo forest carefully with a sack.  He wants to take the lead and allow these people, who have forgotten the hardships of their semi-stable lives, to pick up the past they seem to have forgotten.

    Yang Zhen¡¯s eyes are very poisonous. Although the caves of those little guys are very hidden, he found them one by one easily.  The bamboo rats in the breeding period were very fat. When they were taken out one by one and stuffed into sacks, they stared with a pair of cute round eyes at this guy who caught him inexplicably.  Perhaps he had foreseen his fate, and when he was caught by Yang Zhen's iron-yang hands, he was still struggling desperately with unwillingness.

    ¡°Looking at Yang Zhen, he picked up another fat guy from a cave that he had never seen before. It was somewhat similar to a mouse, but much bigger.  Zhang Zixiong, who was carrying a sack full of these qigu¨¤i animals behind him, said curiously: "No. 1, what is this thing? Why does it look so like a mouse? It is somewhat similar to the beavers in the Xing'an Mountains in the northeast, but not very similar.  "

    "When I was fighting guerrillas in the Eighth Army of the Anti-Japanese Army, due to the Japanese siege, I also ate mountain rats from our Northeast. The taste was quite good, almost the same as chicken. But we all know that thing, but it looks so good  Weird, this is my first time seeing these things. "

    In response to Zhang Zixiong's question, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "This thing is called a bamboo rat, which specializes in eating bamboo. This thing is not found in the Northeast. It is a specialty of the bamboo-producing areas in the south. Because this thing eats bamboo all year round,  Especially the bamboo shoots, so the meat tastes quite delicious, which is a delicacy that cannot be eaten in the Northeast. "

    "Don't underestimate these little guys. If left in a few decades, the price of a pound of meat will be more expensive than the gun in your hand. This is still the price of artificial breeding, and pure wild ones are rare. After a while??The cooking team has finished packing. I'll get you some to try. I'll make sure you eat it once and want it a second time.  "

    He grew up in the mountains and forests of Northeast China since he was a child, and fought guerrillas during the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War.  Despite his young age, Zhang Zixiong has extremely rich experience. When he is hungry and anxious, Zhang Zixiong has eaten everything.  After hearing Yang Zhen's words, he looked at the squirming sack in his hand. Not only did he not feel anything disgusting, but his eyes were shining with anticipation.

    Zhang Zixiong¡¯s throat was slightly moved by Yang Zhen, and he looked like he was swallowing saliva.  However, he was greedy and said with some curiosity: "No. 1, is this thing really as delicious as you said? I have to try it. But No. 1, you are from the north, how do you know the south?  There is such a delicious thing? And you are so good at catching it?¡±
