The Japanese tried to use the newly dug blockade trenches, newly built gun towers and strongholds in an attempt to trap and starve the Eighth Route Army to death in the mountains.
The surface is controlled by combining points and lines in this way to achieve the purpose of "ensuring the occupied area".
It also prohibits ordinary people from living, farming or even entering the area in non-security areas. Violators will be shot to death.
The people in the villages outside the blocked ditch were lured or forced to move to the public security area. All the houses within ten miles outside the ditch were destroyed, and all the people in the ditch were issued "good citizen certificates" to strictly control them.
By blocking the ditch to artificially create a no-man's land, the people who left their homes and went to the enemy's war zone had no house to live in, no land to farm, no money to live, and lack of food and clothing, and were always on the verge of death.
And faced with a rare drought in decades, even in areas where the enemy ensured security, countless people starved to death.
A few people had to take risks and ran back to their hometowns again, but they were constantly raided by the Japanese. Coupled with the all-pervasive detective team's traitors arresting people and informing them, ordinary people could not survive in the no-man's land.
Even if the Ninth Company arrives, it can only carry out base construction in the semi-hilly area on the northern edge of the no-man's land.
In the past six months, Lao Qin has been operating in a low-key manner in the quasi-public security area, strictly controlling the people who enter and not allowing them to leave.
According to the fact that there was no food in the first place, I had been looking for Li Youde, a big landowner, to get help.
After dark, a team slowly entered Li Youde's model security area from the quasi-security area and headed west along a certain road that had been arranged earlier.
Until midnight, the team passed through the Mei County Model Security Area declared by the Japanese to be without any danger!
Perhaps the security forces forgot to close the suspension bridge, so the team passed the turret at the foot of the mountain with great fanfare.
It was another early morning, except for the chirping of birds and insects in the mountains and the whisper of the breeze, it was completely silent.
There are two figures hiding on a roadside hill.
A soldier who was chewing on grass roots out of boredom was suddenly startled and quickly opened his big eyes to look into the distance.
After a while, he whispered to the side: "Hey, there's someone here!"
A figure immediately emerged from the bushes nearby and looked in the direction pointed by the sentry.
In the distance, two figures appeared on the mountain road.
A mile behind them, figures turned a corner of the mountain and appeared more and more.
The two veterans wandering along the path, carrying heavy burdens, looked exhausted.
The figure is slowly approaching.
"Hey, he seems to be from the Ninth Company!"
"Why did they come back again?"
The sentry immediately popped up on the hill and shouted: "Stop!"
The people below were startled and subconsciously hid on the side of the road. They pulled their guns and looked around nervously.
After taking one look at the sentry who came out, the two of them immediately ran out of hiding and sat down on the roadside: "You are so yelling, go back and call someone, you will scare me!"
The soldiers who came down from the mountain were a little surprised when they looked at the stretcher team behind them. There were dozens of stretchers!
The man sitting on the ground reluctantly stood up, fumbled in his bag for a long time, discharged a bridge bullet, and threw it over: "This is for you!"
"Hey, why are you back?" The sentry of the first company who quickly took the bullet asked with a flattering smile as he looked at the leading soldiers of the ninth company.
"Send the wounded! Send supplies."
"The wounded? There are so many. Are you going to commit suicide again?"
"I need you to take care of me! I can't run anymore, so I need to go back and report the news."
"Hey, you two traveled such a long distance just carrying this...iron wire?"
"You know shit, this is called a telephone line, do you understand?"
"Phone? What is that?"
"Aren't you looking for a slap in the face? Go back and call someone!"
"Okay." After the soldier said this, he turned around and ran along the mountain road towards the wine station.
The soldier on the mountain looked enviously at what was happening below. He could not leave his post.
After walking for almost a night, the team was extremely exhausted.
The stretcher is long.
We have entered the first company defense area, and there are no problems with safety.
The team lined up for a long time on the mountain road.
We have already encountered a company of sentries, so there is no need to rush on.
Lao Qin roared: "Rest where you are!"
Could it be that Tian Sanqi, who was empty-handed and didn't even have his beloved bayonet on his back, took a few steps to sit opposite Lao Qin who was lighting a cigarette.
The two sat opposite each other on both sides of the mountain road. Zhu Er next to him quickly pulled his hat to fan Tian Sanqi.
On the stretcher on the ground, Tang Dagou was looking at the busy figures in front and behind Guihua, his eyes following Gulu.
Lao Qin struck a match, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said to Tian Sanqi: "The wound on your back hasn't healed yet, so you'd better stay on the stretcher. It's not far from the wine station." ”
"It's not easy to walk on this road, and it's painful even on a stretcher. The injury heals faster if you move around!" Tian Sanqi took the water bottle handed over by Zhu Er and took a big sip.
"You need to drink less water when you are injured, don't you know?" Lao Qin frowned and said slowly.
"We are in good health and everything is fine."
The sentry on the mountain stuck his head out and looked enviously at the soldiers of the Ninth Company carrying large and small bags and stretchers on the mountain road below.
Half of the team of nearly 200 people carried stretchers.
Looking at them like that, Jiulian probably lost "half" this time.
Lao Qin exhaled another puff of smoke, which was blown away by the mountain wind.
Looking at the vast mountains, I have been out for several months, and I still feel unaccustomed to it. Finally, I have returned to the mountains where I have been away for almost half a year. Every pore in my body feels comfortable.
Almost half an hour later, Lao Qin heard snoring everywhere. He had to go back to sleep, and he didn't know how long he would sleep. He didn't want to go back to the wine station in one go.
He stood up and patted the dirt on his clothes: "Work harder and go back to the group for lunch!"
The team finally set off slowly.
After walking for almost a few miles, the mountain wind blew
A soldier with sharp eyes discovered that in the ravine, a piece of papyrus was blown everywhere by the mountain wind.
Subconsciously, he asked the soldier next to him: "Hey, why is there such a thing in this mountain?"
"what?"
"Kind of like... papyrus!"
The sudden appearance of papyrus in the mountains made Lao Qin stunned for a while.
In the past, the independent group was so poor that they didn't even have enough clothes to wear, let alone have toilet paper in the hut!
When people in the mountains go to the big house, they usually use wattle and stones to solve the hygiene problem.
The thing that suddenly appeared, the key is that the dirt on it is still quite fresh, no more than a day old!
To use toilet paper, only wealthy families, certainly not in the mountains, could use it. Either they were soldiers, but a company of soldiers would definitely not be able to use it!
"Where did this come from?"
"It's blowing from the west. The soldier answered quickly."
"This is weird!" Lao Qin realized that this problem was somewhat serious.
It's either a Japanese or someone else, and the Eighth Route Army doesn't have that condition.
At least, the independent group at the wine station doesn’t have that condition!
At noon.
A platoon dispatched from the first company, plus the first unit of the civilian rear, received the wounded soldiers from the ninth company and sent supplies back to the regiment headquarters in a mighty manner.
Soldiers, militiamen, villagers and others saw this situation and consciously stepped forward to help.
Jiulian finally returned to the wine station, and Cun Xin was overjoyed.
The militiamen tried their best to prevent the stretcher from shaking.
All the soldiers in the company except the sentry stepped forward to help and make room.
Uncle Niu stood at the door of the kitchen and looked around for a while, then immediately ordered the lunch that had been prepared to be placed.
Captain Lu, who was waiting at the entrance of Peng, was pacing back and forth. When he took a few steps forward, he saw Lao Qin saluting with a gloomy face: "Hello, Captain!".
"Hey, there are a lot of wounded. They are all back, so you don't have to give me a hard time, right?" Commander Lu said with joy on his face.
"Go in and talk." Lao Qin looked solemn.
Commander Lu was a little confused, so he stopped asking and went into the independent command tent.
After a while, Commander Lu's voice came from the tent: "Xiao Bing, find the political commissar quickly!"
"The political commissar has gone to Qingshan Village, I'm going to call him right away!" Xiao Bing outside the tent shouted quickly.
