Xiao Hongying raised her fist and said, "Find a way to get the old bandit Zhiqi to come out. Let's take Meixian first, and then wipe out Xinglong Town."
Ma Liang was dumbfounded: "You think it's as simple as attacking the county town and destroying the gun towers."
People's mentality will always change. Ma Liang just thinks that it is not difficult to move the artillery towers, but isn't it nonsense to attack a county town heavily guarded by Japanese troops?
Xiao Hongying looked unconvinced: "We have many people and soldiers now. We just need to arrange for people to sneak into the county in advance and occupy the city gate first. How difficult can it be?"
Ma Liang shook his head: "The Japs can send heavy troops with aircraft and artillery to encircle and suppress them at any time. Even the well-equipped national army is no match for the Japs. What's the use of conquering Meixian?"
"Hey, when the time comes, we will move all the people in the city to the mountains. No one will be without food. What's the use of a little devil occupying an empty city?" When the little girl said this, she turned to look at Hu Yi expectantly: " Fox, what do you think?"
Hu Yi nodded: "It's a good idea, but you have to tell me, if we move all the people in the city to the mountains, will everyone starve to death without food?"
Hu Yi rarely spoke in such a teasing tone. Xiao Hongying thought for a while: "Isn't this simple? Let Qian Jiu get a batch of grain into the mountains first."
"With tens of thousands of people in the mountains, do you know how much food is needed in a day?" Ma Liang shook his head and started to calculate: "Just do the math. If one person has half a catty of food a day, that would be five thousand catties a day! One hundred and fifty thousand catties a month."
Xiao Hongying was a little reluctant: "Can't you dig up wild vegetables and eat them with it?"
"There are too many people. Even if we can get 100,000 catties of grain by cutting nine, it will be of no use."
When Luo Fugui heard the quarrel on the roof, he stepped on the low wall and stretched out half of his body: "Stop fighting. There are Japanese troops transporting food on the Ping-Han Line. Isn't it enough for us to steal his grandma's vote?"
Hu Yi didn't expect that the mule would also start to get involved and come up with ideas. He thought for a while and said, "The situation of the traffic sabotage team is more complicated. Even if we want to do this, we can only do it alone."
Luo Fugui didn't know why he became interested in food: "Qianggou Railway Station is the closest to the mountainous area. It's the most convenient place to do things. After grabbing the food, you can carry it into the mountain."
Hu Yi said with a black line: "Do you know how much food the Japanese army can transport?"
Ma Liang, who was next to him, began to calculate: "I heard that one carriage can pull about forty tons. A Japanese train with one ton and two thousand kilograms usually carries about ten carriages. Well, that's four to five hundred tons."
Hu Yi smiled: "Then do you know how many kilograms four or five hundred tons are?"
The number was a bit big, so it wasn't difficult for Ma Liang. He made a calculation on the ground with his fingers and carefully counted the zeros at the end: "One hundred, one hundred, one million, one hundred thousand, my God. One million catties?"
Luo Fuchou's eyes widened: "My grandma, one million pounds? Only ten thousand people can carry it?"
A deep voice came from the courtyard: "At least 20,000 people are needed."
Hu Yi quickly stood up: "Hello, Chief!"
"I heard before that Jiulian's wickedness was accompanied by smoke. It seems that the rumors are not true."
Several people upstairs quickly slipped down from the roof and saluted one after another.
The chief waved his hand: "I plan to go to the settlement to see how the people are working. Is there anyone willing to go with me?"
Xiao Hongying was startled and pinched the corner of her clothes: "This division needs to be accompanied by division guards, right?"
"It's just that they didn't agree, so they came to you. Didn't they seize the bicycle yesterday? Let's go riding the bicycle later."
Xiao Hongying asked curiously: "Chief, can you also ride a bicycle?
"Hey, when I was riding a bicycle in Mondale, Paris more than 20 years ago, you weren't even born yet."
"Commander, come here to take a look at the enemy. Your words don't count." The officer from the enemy's Ministry of Industry who followed the Taoist leader looked anxious and quickly stopped him: "It's easy to be targeted by the enemy when you go out in broad daylight. It's too dangerous. Chief, you can't be like this. Dry!"
"Young man, tell me, how can research and research be done without on-the-spot inspections?"
The director of the enemy engineering department almost cried: "No, I'll go find the eldest sister right now."
"It's no use looking for anyone! I usually cooperate with your enemy's Industry Department and Security Section to save your face."
Who can stop what the chief has decided?
"You have to go, you have to change into detective team clothes."
The chief shook his head: "You want me to change into the clothes of the detective team and become a traitor? This is not a good idea."
The director of the enemy engineering department has already relented, and it seems that this mission has been decided.
Hu Yi thought carefully: "If you look at it from a distance, there should be no problem."
"Look, everyone says it's okay. Why are you in a hurry? Get your bike ready."
Hu Yi no longer hesitated: "Ma Liang, take a platoon and set off first! Arrange two soldiers to ride bicycles and set off first to scout the route."
"Yes!" Ma Liang jumped off the roof. His arm injury was not fully healed.
"Luo Fugui, you and Dirty Face bring a machine gun with a new barrel and ten magazines."
"yes!"
"Inform Li Xiang to bring a grenade group and have Wan Pao Xi and Wen Wu all bring mortars."
"Inform Dagou that he and Wang Liujin will take the same class together, and the two of them will ride on the same bicycle."
"The others stay in the village as the second echelon and set off."
Hu Yi didn't think much about it. The chief wanted to take the risk to investigate and just carry out the order.
There was a tinkling sound in the village, and the team prepared to set off.
"The action is quite fast." The leader nodded, suddenly turned to look at the little girl, and lowered his voice: "I heard that you watched friendly forces kill more than a hundred Japanese wounded?"
"Hehe, we have seen each other from a distance."
"Then tell me, how far apart is it?"
"It has to be at least thirty meters away," the little girl said and wanted to run away.
"stop."
"Uncle Political Commissar, do you have anything else to do?"
"You've grown so tall." The chief didn't say that.
"Commander, I have to arrange the second echelon and tighten the perimeter security. I'm leaving first."
"I heard that you became a platoon leader?"
"Hehe, if it weren't for the pressure from Battalion Commander Fox, I could have become a company commander."
"Have you written a summary of your thoughts on studying every day?"
"Of course I wrote it." Xiao Gongying wanted to say, she even helped Luo Fugui write it.
"The little girl has grown so tall. How about going back to work in the division?" Shi Li
"There are no Japs in the division, so I won't do it." The little girl ran away immediately after saying that. She knew very well that it was not her place to be involved in a task like approaching a concentration camp at close range.
More than a dozen bicycles came out of the village and went straight east to where they worked in the concentration camp near Xinglong Town.
Commander Wang of the Xinglong Town Security Army has been in a bad mood during this period.
After his old home was taken away by the Eighth Route Army last year, the imperial army was not very satisfied with him.
At the beginning of the year, the Eighth Route Army Encirclement and Suppression failed again, and he, the security battalion commander, simply stepped aside.
If it hadn't been for the surrender of some of the old brothers who followed the imperial army and reorganized the new Fifth Army some time ago, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to become the leader.
Maybe even the battalion commander's hat has already been pulled off.
In his view, reorganization means dismantling the entire New Fifth Army and organizing it into various security forces.
Of course, his understanding is only at this level.
Since the merger of villages and towns, the Eighth Route guerrillas have almost disappeared from the plains, and the security forces have been doing nothing every day.
Although there are more people in charge now, they only do the shabby work of bringing people out to work all day long. There is no extra income, and the living standards of the brothers under them are deteriorating.
The company commander under his command looked at the villagers working listlessly in the fields with hoes: "Batalion Commander, if this continues, everyone will soon drink the northwest wind."
"It's good to be able to survive these days, don't think too much."
"I heard that the 24th Army was ordered by Chongqing to surrender to the Japanese, mainly to deal with the Eighth Route Army in the mountains."
Commander Wang glared at his company commander: "Don't talk nonsense."
"The Rangers have sent people here. Do you think you should pay attention to them?"
