Commander Xiao also expressed her thoughts after everyone spoke. The focus is also on how the next team can enter the deep mountains to hide. In fact, this is her consistent opinion, and she recognized it earlier than the Navy Captain and Yu Chenglong.
But the commander-in-chief was still deep in thought. It seemed that he also had his own plans, because the commander-in-chief did not respond in time to the next step of building a secret camp.
"Then let's do this. After the current affairs are finished and the team has stabilized, Commander Xiao can send out guides to lead various armies to build secret camps. The location chosen should be concealed, easy to defend and easy to evacuate."
"Okay, I will come up with a plan when I go back and report the construction of the secret camp to the commander-in-chief tomorrow. After the commander-in-chief approves, I will send guides to them and let them build the secret camp separately."
Commander Xiao listened to the commander-in-chief's words and responded quickly. Now that the commander-in-chief has agreed, this matter must be done as soon as possible. When the weather freezes, it will be difficult to establish the secret camp.
"This matter has been decided like this. We will wait until Commander Xiao's plan is revealed before making a final decision. Our victory at Yingzui Cliff this time has annihilated more than 180 Japanese and traitors. It can be said that we have achieved a major victory!
However, our casualties are not small. There are successful experiences in the battle, but there are also shortcomings. We must carefully summarize them and accumulate experience.
Commander Yu was very flexible and adaptable to changes in this battle. He should be able to summarize it well. All your armies should also summarize it carefully after returning.
Let every brother who participated in the battle speak out, and let the brothers who surrendered speak out, so as to facilitate future battles. I'm here first today. I wanted to let you have a meal to celebrate, but there are too many things, so let's do it next time. "
After the commander-in-chief finished speaking, he shook hands with the navy captain, commander Xiao, and Yu Chenglong one by one and said goodbye, and the three of them went back to make their own arrangements. After a few days, the Manchurian Liberation Army stabilized and everything returned to normal.
The commander-in-chief also approved the establishment of a secret camp. Yu Chenglong ordered more than 30 physically strong brothers, led by Deputy Commander Zhang, to follow the guide sent by Commander Xiao into the mountains farther away to establish a secret camp.
A few days later, the commander-in-chief once again sent someone to summon Yu Chenglong to discuss matters. When Yu Chenglong came to the Commander-in-Chief Hall, he saw the Navy Captain, Commander Xiao, and Jiang Dazhu playing Tianjiu Entertainment. When Yu Chenglong came in, Commander Jiang gave the cards to Yu Chenglong.
"There's nothing big going on today. I've always wanted to have a meal with you. It just so happened that Camp Commander Jiang and the others brought back two roe deer yesterday and asked you to come over and have something to eat and drink.
Let's touch the cards for a while first, and then we'll have a meal together after they prepare the meal. You just arrived, let's play with money next. After playing, the money will be converted into wine. Whoever loses will have to drink more. "
When the commander-in-chief saw Yu Jackie Chan coming in, he explained to him the purpose of coming to see him. After Yu Chenglong nodded and said hello, he sat down and played cards with them. The navy captain is a veteran, very lucky, and wins often.
"When Camp Commander Jiang and the others brought back the roe deer yesterday, I thought that you should also send people out to look for roe deer, wild boar, elk, etc. It will be hunting time soon, after the heavy snow closes the mountains. But it's not easy to fight.
Try our best to improve the lives of the brothers, and store the excess. This is what we did when we were in Dulong Mountain. Commander Yu was promoted to the grain station because of this. "
The commander-in-chief was chatting with the three people while playing. Commander Xiao, who was sitting next to him, first took over the commander-in-chief's words and expressed his support for the commander-in-chief's opinions.
"I think this is feasible. Not only do we need to kill animals, but also birds. If there are too many, we can transport them to the secret camp we are going to build in case of emergencies."
"You're right. I think we don't have a lot of food stored. How much food will we need by this time next year?
This is a major matter that we must consider. I think we should send people to collect food outside the mountains. Before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first. This has been the principle since ancient times. "
The navy captain also supported the commander-in-chief's view. He had been the head of Feihu Village and knew how important food was to the people living in the mountains.
"Yes, food is indeed a big problem. How can we go to war without food? Now is the time to collect food, but not all of it has been collected yet. It will take even longer to grind it into rice.
In this way, Commander Yu will first send people out to the mountains to investigate. After we have figured out the situation, we will find ways to get food and hoard more. We will recruit troops in the future, so don't worry if we have food in hand. "
The commander-in-chief then stated his point of view, and Yu Chenglong immediately responded to the commander-in-chief's concerns.
"I will make arrangements tomorrow as the commander-in-chief said, and ask the people from the Finance and Food Department to follow suit. Wouldn't it be better if we could buy it and transport it back safely.
If it doesn't work, we still have to take it from the devils, but we can't take it from the common people. This time I went out to the mountain to let the brothers explore the road to see if there was any chance to seize food from the little devils. "
"The little devils also attach great importance to food, and they are trying to control it. This is a really destructive move. Not only us, I heard that all the anti-Japanese troops are short of food!
Even the larger teams were short of food. Some anti-Japanese teams were forced to surrender simply because they had no food to eat. "
Commander Xiao's words reminded everyone that the food issue cannot be ignored and must be planned in advance. So Yu Chenglong reported on the current preparations of the Money and Food Department, but he was not very optimistic.
"Currently, I am asking some liaison stations and spies to buy grain, telling them to buy less and more often, and don't let the little devils find out. But this is not a long-term solution, and it is too easy to be exposed.
I am discussing with my brothers in the Money and Food Department to choose two relatively reliable places to open food banks so that our team can have a stable source of food. "
As soon as Yu Chenglong finished speaking, Battalion Commander Jiang Dazhu walked in and told the commander-in-chief that the roe deer meat had been cooked and he was ready to eat.
"Jackie Chan, please discuss the food matter with the brothers in the Finance and Food Department. Anyway, we need a large amount of food now until next autumn, so we must prepare enough. We can't let the brothers go hungry to fight against the Japs.
Okay, let's stop playing here, but we have to settle the score. Whoever loses more will have to drink more, and no cheating is allowed. Let's settle the score now and then let's go to dinner! "
The commander-in-chief very seriously came to settle the accounts one by one and returned the money to the loser, but he had written down the amount and planned to cash it out while drinking.
"This is not fair. The winner doesn't get any money, and he has to drink less. It's not cost-effective. I will lose next time too."
The navy captain stood up jokingly, and the commander-in-chief also stood up and asked people to clear the table and put the food on the table, but he did not forget to respond to the navy captain's words.
"What you win is fame and ability, what we lose is face, how can we not drink more wine to make up for it? Let Commander Yu buy you a drink tomorrow when there is time."
The commander-in-chief returned to the dining table and sat down. The navy commander and Commander Xiao sat on his left and right, and Yu Chenglong sat opposite the commander-in-chief. The four of them gathered around and started eating.
The meat of the roe deer was so rotten and fragrant, it was even more appetizing for the four of them. It’s been a long time since we drank wine together, so this time we relaxed the amount.
The four people ate and drank together until it was almost dark, and then they dispersed and were helped back to their homes.
