Chapter 372 Food Issues

Ma Qian'an returned to his residence and quickly started working.

com Now he is no longer as simple as a combatant. As the team expands and the people around him continue to flock to the mountains, there are too many people in the team and Zhou Yucheng is too busy, so he should share some of his burdens.

More and more signs indicate that the old boy, Ye Deputy Masato, is about to use his main force to clear out the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

During the month when Ma Qian'an left the station, the battle of the 10th detachment mainly revolved around the edge of the mountainous area, with the purpose of defeating the "group tribe" not far from the mountainous area, destroying the puppet Manchukuo guards stationed in the tribe, and rescuing the residents living there.

Of course, among these broken "group tribes", many people are unwilling to follow the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. That is a work that holds its head, and it may end one day. The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces welcomes the people who are willing to go up the mountain with them, and does not force those people who are deeply suspicious of them.

Even though there are relatively few people in each tribe who follow the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces up the mountain, there are many tribes that have been conquered by the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. During this month, thousands of people have taken their families to the mountain.

In addition to the people who came in when the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces called on the people to enter the mountains, a large number of people came uninvited, with a total of about 2,000 people, and are still increasing one after another.

The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces attacked the "Group Tribe" and often succeeded, which shocked the Nobel Deputy Masato, which forced him to step up the implementation of a "poisonous plan". The work of the Nobel Deputy Masato moved the people was "in full swing". All the people within 30 kilometers of the mountainous area moved inward. He was preparing to isolate the contact between the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and the people, and avoid the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces targeting those "Group Tribes" and obtaining supplies. He wanted to turn the 30 kilometers of the mountainous area into an unmanned area.

No matter how the people live or die, they migrate the population on a large scale in the early winter, and there are no complete resettlement measures. Police or pseudo-government officials who implement the instructions often resettle the population at will. Most people only get a place to settle down and a small amount of food and clothing for the winter, and can only build a simple land nest for temporary settlement.

There is no clean drinking water and no houses to keep warm, and the mortality rate is high. The people are displaced and hungry, and the mortality rate is high. Among the more than 30,000 people migrated near Tieli City, there are more than 1,000 abnormal deaths within a month. The harsh winter is coming, and the death situation is still rising. This situation finally forced the hungry and cold people to escape. I heard that there is an Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in the mountains, and many people secretly escaped to the mountains.

This large number of people entered the mountains. In addition to adding some labor and reserve troops to the Anti-Japanese United Nations League, the most worrying thing was the food problem. The food reserved by the 10th Detachment was rapidly decreasing in the early stage. It was originally possible to last for the first half of the year, but now it would be good to last for 3 months. This made Zhou Yucheng very scratched his head. There were fewer and fewer beasts and fish, forests, etc., and there were no more and no consumption.

Alas! This is really a new situation. After only one month of his journey, the population in the mountains has increased so much, and the originally abundant food is not enough. Ma Qian'an sat opposite Zhou Yucheng, poked his forehead with a finger and rubbed it.

Zhou Yucheng complained to Ma Qian'an for a while and saw that Ma Qian'an was thinking, so he had to spread his hands and said, "Xiaoma, if you can't help, I have to go down the mountain to grab the food!"

Robbery? Hearing Zhou Yucheng say this, Ma Qian'an's frown suddenly became clear.

"Yes! The political commissar is right! If you don't have food, let's rob it! Let's rob the Japanese brother-in-law."

Zhou Yucheng glanced at Ma Qian'an.

It's easy to say, so easy to grab? You have to go out of the mountain and pass the uninhabited 30-kilometer blockade, and then find the place where the Japanese stockpile food to catch a battle with the enemy's heavy troops. I think we were surrounded by the Japanese before the food was transported back to the mountains.

"It's not easy!" Zhou Yucheng sighed heavily, "How much manpower do you plan to use? Where to grab it? According to our information, the closest grain warehouse to us is behind the Japanese blockade."

Ma Qian'an ignored Zhou Yucheng, who was frowning, said enthusiastically: "I don't plan to grab the grain warehouse, the mountain people have their own tricks."

"Ah?" Zhou Yucheng was excited.

Ma Qian'an gently pointed out his thoughts with his preaching expression: "Political Commissar, you came to the Anti-Japanese United Army late. I didn't do enough to make your popular education. Alas! The mistake is with me! If you understand the Japanese's encirclement and suppression methods, you will come up with a solution and don't ask me for advice, right?"

Zhou Yucheng "glated his eyes" depressedly, Xiaoma, this kid, "sighed" when he had the chance.

"Speak quickly! Keep it aside, be careful I will deal with you!"

After being flew by Zhou Yucheng, Ma Qian'an withdrew his joking face and his expression turned into a serious look. The speed was amazingly fast, which made Zhou Yucheng adapt for a while.

"Our column now has 2,500 elite soldiers."

Zhou Yucheng corrected Ma Qian'andao: "There are more than 500 newly formed militias."

Ma Qian'an continued: "Our Anti-Japanese United Army is well-trained, brave and tenacious, fighting like a god at night, marching like a wind, elusive and invisible, and has strong control ability on the battlefield, right?"

"Yes! You're talking nonsense, can I not know? What exactly do you want to say?"

"Also, today the headquarters sent a telegram to tell us that a batch of ammunition will be added soon, right? This is our capital, I have to explain it to you."

Zhou Yucheng did not interrupt again, quietly waiting for Ma Qian'an's thoughts. This kid sometimes likes to speak in a zigzag manner, and he doesn't know what he wants to express until he finishes listening.

"After the battle last month, our army was so strong that it was beyond the expectations of the enemy, causing great casualties to the Nobel Deputy Masato. With the Japanese's vengeful personality, they will definitely counterattack our team crazily, but their offensive strength has not been crazy at all recently. They have only sent small reconnaissance teams to test us. Don't you feel strange?"

Zhou Yucheng nodded. This matter was strange. Since the war last month, the Japanese have retreated.

"I have a intuition that the lieutenant deputy, Masato, is definitely numbing us. He wants to concentrate heavy troops to attack me alone while we are relaxed. To achieve a complete elimination or defeat our troops, he must have a long-term plan. The theme of this plan is definitely "perseverance"! We will never withdraw troops if we do not eliminate us. To complete such a arduous task, his logistics must provide strong support. He must build the logistics supply stations such as the military stations into the mountains, so as to provide the most convenient support to his search and suppression troops."

Zhou Yucheng's eyes lit up, "You mean... to steal his troops? Will he build the logistics base into the mountains?"

"Yes! According to the Japanese attacks in the past two years, this attack probably cannot escape the "successful model". If a solution is proved to be effective, I think the Ye Jun Masato will always be superstitious about this method. This is inertia! It is also inertia! The old Japanese attacker, Masato, cannot escape this law."

During the South Manchuria crusade, in order to drive the soldiers to fight for a long time, the wild deputy spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a logistics warehouse in Changbai Mountain, and ordered the crusade team to bring their own food and grass for half a month to one month, solving the problem of the short distance of pursuit due to unfavorable food and grass replenishment.

Zhou Yucheng learned from Ma Qian'an the detailed method of "strike" by the Japanese, and gave strong support to Ma Qian'an's idea of ​​destroying enemy logistics and snatching food for his own use.

"If it's really like you said, I think this deal is worth doing, killing two birds with one stone, making him unable to care about his butt!"

Ma Qian'an's participation completely denied the combat plan made by Zhou Yucheng in the early stage. Before Ma Qian'an returned to the garrison, Zhou Yucheng formulated the combat plan mainly targeted the main force of the Japanese. Now, after Ma Qian'an reminded him, he suddenly realized that the Japanese had many weaknesses. Since there were delicious and beautiful Japanese logistics, of course, persimmons had to be picked up and pinched. In Ma Qian'an's words, if you fight the Japanese, you will kill one less. No matter whether he is a combat soldier or a logistics soldier, they are all Japanese devils. The troops are a whole, and if the logistics collapses, the combat troops are not much better.

Zhou Yucheng thought about it for a while and suddenly asked: "You just said that the wild deputy Changde would destroy us in one fell swoop, so how many troops do you think he will invest?"

How could I know about this? Ma Qian'an is hard to estimate, but he still pinched his fingers and calculated for a while, and replied with a smile: "Didn't this old guy claim to be a military expert? I think he must know what Sun Tzu's Art of War said, ten times will surround us! In other words, this guy will use troops of 20,000 to 30,000 to surround our column."

What? 30,000? This number scared Zhou Yucheng.

"Will he make such a big money?"

"If you were beaten by someone, do you want to get the place back?"

Zhou Yucheng blinked and couldn't speak. In this way, the situation was really serious. Now, scattered around the radius of more than ten kilometers near the column headquarters, there are more than 4,000 people who fled into the mountains for various reasons. Among these men and women, the middle-aged men and women, had only undergone the initial armed training, and only a few days later, they were completely unable to protect their families and broke through the siege. If the Japanese really made up their minds to drag their food into the mountains to fight, it would be easy to find them, and these people were lambs!

Zhou Yucheng said his concerns to Ma Qian'an. After listening carefully, Ma Qian'an asked back: "This is indeed a problem. I am also considering that it is indeed not easy to carry out a large migration in the snow and ice, but it must be done. While the weather is not the coldest, this work can move them to the deep mountains as soon as possible."

The winter of 1941 was the coldest winter in decades, and Ma Qian'an knew it. Now the temperature is getting lower and lower. Even later, the old and weak can't even leave.

After studying the plan to withdraw people and knowing the specific numbers of people, Ma Qian'an asked strangely: "Looking at the proportion of young and middle-aged people of these people, it was beyond my expectations. Are these people all ordinary people?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yucheng touched his forehead and wondered. Are they all ordinary people?

"I mean, there are no road construction workers among these people? If there are a large number of workers, the proportion of young and middle-aged people should be very high. I heard from the headquarters that many troops have attacked the Japanese road construction teams, so they have not added some young and strong people?"

Zhou Yucheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Hey, you said that, we also fought the Japanese hardworking team, and we mobilized those people to participate in the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. But except for a very small number of people, they just didn't participate, and it was useless to talk. Later, I asked in detail, do you know who are the "hardworking teams"?"

"Take! They are all staff members of the pseudo-government, students and teachers in the school. Anyway, they are all those who live a stable life without worrying about food and clothing, and are timid and afraid of trouble. They are not from the same place as us. They all use the excuses of being a slave in the family, and they are quite enjoyable to be slaves in the country. We have to implement the policy. Since we are unwilling to participate in the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, we will not force them and let them go."
