In the early morning, I said goodbye to Battalion Commander Gao and Director Cheng who came to see me off.
Li Shiyi took little Li Qing and set off in the white hazy mist.
When we arrived near the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the sun was already shining brightly.
"Uncle, it's so hot."
Xiao Li Qing looked at the platinum sunlight on the ground and pulled open her collar because of the heat.
Li Shi held up a cloth parasol to shield little Li Qing from the scorching sun while pulling on the reins.
He also felt the heat rising: "If it's hot, don't stick so close to her. Sit a little further forward."
Because the north wind stopped blowing, the climate became dry.
Suddenly, Li Shiyi looked at the road in the distance. It was the left deputy staff officer with two guards and correspondents.
They were waiting under the shade of a tree.
Li Shiyi quickly closed his umbrella, drove his horse closer, dismounted and saluted: "Report to the Chief of Staff, Li Shiyi is here to report."
Deputy staff officer Zuo smiled and said, "You came just in time."
"hey-hey!"
Li Shiyi smiled sheepishly.
How shameful it would be to have the deputy chief of staff wait for you.
"Mr. Peng has notified the hospital, let's go."
The left deputy staff officer was also a resolute person. He waved his hand and set off without saying a word.
"yes!"
Li Shiyi responded, untied Xiao Li Qing's coat and his own coat, and followed in thin clothes.
After Li Shiyi caught up with the four horses in front, the left deputy staff officer called him closer.
The deputy staff officer Zuo greeted Xiao Li Qing and asked, "Li Shiyi, please explain in detail, what is allicin and how is it made?"
Deputy Staff Officer Zuo's selfless work attitude aroused Li Shiyi's awe, and he even spent time on the road.
Therefore, Li Shi introduced the formation process of allicin.
Allicin is a compound whose main component is diallyl thiosulfinate and its chemical formula is C6H10OS2.
Can be dissolved in alcohol.
In order to further purify allicin, Li Shiyi also introduced the water distillation method below 100°C.
However, too high a concentration is not good either.
To this end, Li Shiyi also communicated about the production of mashing, dissolving, and filtering equipment.
Provide one-stop service as much as possible to greatly reduce the production time of allicin so that it can be retained for a longer period of time.
It can be transported to the hospital in enough time for use by patients.
In order to make the process more advanced, Li Shiyi used nanorobots to set up many machines for automated production.
While listening, deputy staff officer Zuo kept nodding his head, admitting that what Li Shiyi said was very reasonable.
Suddenly, hearing the word "automation", deputy staff officer Zuo asked unconsciously.
"What is automation? Is all the production of the great powers automated?"
Seeing the searching eyes of deputy staff officer Zuo, Li Shiyi immediately denied it.
"The Western powers also said the same thing. They also have not automated production."
"clear."
Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo was immediately relieved when he heard that the Western powers had not "automated" either.
He gave a few words of encouragement: "We have the direction, and we must also prepare."
Li Shiyi also agreed: "Ang, Mr. Zuo is right."
…
While chatting along, Li Shiyi looked at the villages on both sides.
This was his first time to go to Yan'an Holy Land.
I have never traveled before.
Pay attention to the grass on both sides of the road, because people often walk on it, causing the soil to attack the grass.
The pavement revealed its broad, earthy nature.
There are also more villages on the roadside, and villagers are often seen doing activities.
In terms of popularity, it is completely different from the desolate frontline I went to before.
At this time, ordinary people carrying burdens or hoes often passed by.
Some farmers even greeted me happily: "Hello, Eighth Route Army."
Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo also responded with a smile.
…
Late at night, there was still no sign of the left deputy staff officer ordering him to rest on the spot. Li Shiyi looked at them curiously.
Seeing that Li Shiyi's speed had slowed down, the deputy staff officer Zuo explained: "The front is the Tongpu Railway. Keep riding. It will be just in time to cross the railway in the early morning."
As soon as Li Shiyi heard this, a map appeared in his mind.
Taihang Mountain, the base of the 129th Division, is surrounded by railways on three sides and a highway on one side.
It's like being framed by a rectangle.
It can form the trend of closing the door and beating the dog.
So Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng wanted to launch a Hundred Regiment War.
Abolish the Zhengtai Railway and merge the base areas of the 129th Division below and the 120th Division above.
In this way, the little devils will not be divided and defeated one by one.
Nor will the Japanese use the railway as a framework to trap the Eighth Route Army inside without food or resources.
It is a pity that the Japs are powerful, and the Hundred Regiment War can effectively combat the arrogance of the little Japs.
However, the desired results were not achieved.
Li Shiyi seemed to have thought about it for a long time, but it was actually just a moment.
Therefore, Li Shiyi suddenly realized: "I understand, that's how it is."
When everyone walked to a valley, the left deputy staff officer asked everyone to light torches.
Deputy Staff Officer Zuo said: "Feed the horse and let it rest."
"yes!"
"receive!"
The six people dismounted and the two guards went to the outskirts of the distant woods to collect some firewood.
Li Shiyi, Xiao Li Qing, left deputy staff officer, and correspondent were skillfully taking out bean cakes.
Taking advantage of the dim light, he cut some of the surrounding weeds and fed them to the horses.
Unfortunately, due to the Japanese sabotage, all the chickens, ducks and fish were swept away.
Therefore, you cannot provide horses with some eggs to supplement protein.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
The little squirrel appeared again, dancing and pointing at the torch ahead.
It seemed like he wanted to tell Li Shiyi to be careful with Huo Zhu.
The deputy staff officer Zuo suddenly saw the little squirrel and asked curiously: "Director Li, you were on the horse just now, why didn't you see this little guy show up?"
Li Shiyi glanced at the little squirrel jumping around and said, "The little guy is very smart. When we are busy, he doesn't make any noise. When we are free, he comes out to show off."
"Chichichigu, chichichi!"
The little squirrel pointed at Li Shiyi and said angrily that he controlled the rat.
However, because of the language barrier, the deputy staff officer Zuo did not understand what the little squirrel was referring to.
…
I will light it when I come back from collecting firewood.
Everyone took out dry food to replenish energy.
Li Shiyi took out a piece of dry food wrapped in cloth.
It's like a compressed biscuit.
Deputy staff officer Zuo was eating steamed buns when he suddenly noticed that Li Shiyi's dry food was different.
He actually took out two biscuits and ate them.
He kept drinking cold drinks from the kettle.
Deputy staff officer Zuo asked: "Director Li, what kind of cube is that in your hand? Can it be eaten?"
"Of course you can. These are compressed biscuits, which contain milk, wheat, fat, sugar, etc."
The correspondent was stunned. He didn't expect that a small piece of food could contain so many things.
It's like eating a big meal.
Deputy staff officer Zuo asked in surprise: "Compressed biscuits? What is this new thing? I've never heard of it?"
“I made this myself, mixing some wheat, oil, and sugar together, and then sterilized it under high temperature and high pressure.
Even though it is such a small piece, it is not big enough to hold in your hand.
It is very resistant to hunger, you will be full after eating a small piece, and it is easy to carry. "
Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo was initially surprised but indifferent.
After listening to Li Shiyi’s introduction, I was immediately moved.
The special phrase "easy to carry" is completely tailor-made for the Eighth Route Army.
The deputy staff officer Zuo immediately gave an order to the correspondent: "Go back quickly and inform Mr. Peng that we have discovered a new type of military ration."
