"Say what you just said again!" Yuan Shushan clenched his fists, suppressed the anger that was rubbing out of his heart, and asked word by word, gritting his teeth.

Xue Ya thought Yuan Shushan had not heard it clearly, so she gritted the bullet and said again: "The war zone did not scold the leader in the reply call!"

"Impossible?" Yuan Shushan shouted with a disbelief expression.

"The war zone is most afraid that the Eighth Route Army will grow and grow in Shanxi, and then the tail is too big to be thrown away. Zhou Cheng is asking the war zone for instructions to the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army to trade. It is clearly a collision with the war zone commander's gun. How could he not be scolded..."

"Wait a minute, I seem to understand something. The reason why the war zone did not scold Zhou Cheng must have been punished by other punishments. Could it be that the war zone directly took off the captain of the regiment commander on Zhou Cheng's head... It must be like this!"

After Yuan Shushan finished speaking, he looked at Xue Ya with a gaze, hoping to get Xue Ya's affirmative answer.

At this moment, Xue Ya stared at Yuan Shushan like a clown, shook her head, and replied with great certainty: "Deputy Commander Yuan, the war zone not only did not scold the commander, nor did she punish the commander, but also agreed to the deal between the commander and the Eighth Route Army..."

"I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Didn't the war zone guard against the National Salvation Army being too close to the Eighth Route Army? Why did it agree to the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army to trade? Isn't this a contradiction?"

"What?" Yuan Shushan was completely confused and snatched the telegram from Xue Ya's hand, looking at ten lines at a glance. After browsing it quickly, his eyes immediately became round.

After staring at the telegram and reading it again, he sat directly on the chair and shouted: "Why? Why did the War Zone agree to this transaction..."

"If you exchange guns for food, the Eighth Route Army will have more weapons and ammunition, and then you can continue to expand your troops, and your overall strength will become stronger and stronger... I can't figure it out, are the commanders of the war zone confused?"

"You send a telegram to the war zone immediately and ask them if they are wrong and how could they agree with Zhou Cheng's proposal? Are they not afraid that the Eighth Route Army will continue to obtain weapons and ammunition through these transactions and eventually grow and grow?"

Xue Ya did not move. After Yuan Shushan finished scolding, the expression on his face was a little relieved before he spoke: "Deputy Commander Yuan calm down, you must calm down. This telegram was indeed sent from the war zone. At that time, I couldn't believe the content above. I quickly sent a telegram to confirm. As a result, there was no problem with the war zone responding to me!"

"Why? I can't figure it out..." Yuan Shushan shouted with a disbelief expression.

Until Xue Ya left, she didn't understand.

At the division command center located deep in the Taihang Mountains, the communication squad hurriedly ran in, holding a telegram paper in his hand, which was filled with telegram codes that had not been translated.

"Chief, this is an encrypted message we just received, only you can translate it!"

"Give me the telegram, you go down first!" The political commissar received the telegram and sat at the table, took out the password book and translated it word by word.

At first, my expression was very serious, and after five minutes, the corners of my mouth began to rise.

Ten minutes later, my face was already full of joy. I put away the password book and reported excitedly: "Teacher, it's good news..."

"Comrade Zhou Cheng of the National Salvation Army just sent a secret message, and the war zone agreed to use oceans and weapons and ammunition to buy their scarce supplies from our Eighth Route Army."

"Comrade Zhou Cheng said that he had prepared 10,000 yuan of oceans, 500 79-caliber rifles, 13 Czech-made, nearly 100,000 supporting bullets, and some shells and medicines. He hopes that he can change from us to the food and livestock they urgently need, the more the number, the better."

The division commander's eyes lit up: "This method is good. Both parties will get their needs through transactions. In this way, Zhou Cheng will give us weapons and ammunition in the future, and there is no need to sneakily do it, just go through transactions!"

"If I remember correctly, several troops operating around the National Salvation Army began to actively attack the Japanese and puppet troops as soon as they got the weapons and ammunition prepared by Zhou Cheng for them. Each unit gained a lot of gains?"

The political commissar nodded: "That's true. As soon as they got the weapons and ammunition, several troops began to counterattack and expand the base!"

"In a few days, not only did they kill a large number of Japanese and puppet troops, but they also captured many big traitors who followed the Japanese to make accomplices of the tiger."

"Most of these traitors are local tyrants and evil gentry, rich and powerful. Our troops seized a lot of funds, food, and livestock from them..."

"The funds are generally left for their own use, and the rest will be sent to the division headquarters, which will be uniformly allocated and managed by the division headquarters."

"Food and livestock are not good, the goal is too big to carry out long-distance transportation. Except for leaving some for self-use, almost all the remaining ones will be distributed to local people for free."

"I don't object to this way of handling it, but I can only divide a small part of it to facilitate the people to hide it. If too much is seized, and after the old method is given to the local people, everyone will have no place to hide it. When the Japanese and puppet troops counterattack and we retreat, the food distributed to the people will definitely be snatched back by the Japanese and puppet troops and finally return to the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops."

"Now the war zone agrees that we use food and livestock to exchange oceans and weapons and ammunition from the National Rescue Army, so the food and livestock seized by our troops will have a source."

"We should immediately give orders to the troops around the National Savior Army, so that they can send all the extra food and livestock seized to the defense zone of the National Savior Army in exchange for the weapons, ammunition and other supplies we need."

"In this way, we can get each of us, and we don't have to secretly deliver things to us in the future. It is both dangerous and easy to be exposed."

The division commander thought for a while and replied: "Yes, tell the front line commanders, don't worry that the national rescue army will take advantage of us. Because I believe that that boy Zhou Cheng will not let us suffer."

In the north of Laiyuan, as more and more Japanese and puppet troops began to enter the battle, the battle situation gradually entered a stalemate, and neither of us could do anything to each other.

After the previous few big victories, the attack momentum was finally suppressed by the Japanese and puppet troops, and had to turn off attacks to defend, stabilize the villages and towns that the troops had just taken down, and build them into the future bases for the troops.

The Japanese and puppet army definitely did not want the Eighth Route Army to expand its base in its occupied areas, so they continued to attack the Eighth Route Army, taking down a town today and controlling a village tomorrow.

Of course, the Eighth Route Army was not a vegetarian.

When the Japanese and puppet troops attacked, they were also looking for opportunities to counterattack, attacking sneak today and attacking tomorrow...

After a few days, both sides won and lost, and the positions became intertwined, and you were in me and I were in you.

Compared with this war of attrition, the commander of the Eighth Route Army likes to fight the most.

Although there are many casualties and many weapons and ammunition consumed, the results of the battle are also great. If more seizures can not only make up for all combat losses, but also produce a lot more. The extra weapons and ammunition will become the capital for the troops to expand their teams in the future!

After the two sides entered a stalemate, the troops had almost never fought an annihilation battle.

There was no capture without annihilation war, and as long as the Japanese fight was fighting, a large amount of weapons and ammunition would be consumed, which increased and decreased. In a few days, the troops used up tens of thousands of machine gun bullets, thousands of grenades, and more than one hundred shells, but they only seized more than ten rifles and less than one hundred bullets.

The remaining weapons were either taken away by the Japanese retreat troops or destroyed by them, leaving behind a pile of scrap iron parts.

"Captain, the army has consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition in the past few days! If we spend this speed, and fight for another five days, the family we accumulated when we attack the Japanese will be wiped out." The political commissar held the list of weapons and ammunition losses just sent by each battalion, and sighed while looking at it.

Then he stared at the regiment commander's suggestion: "I suggest that the troops find ways to win a big victory, knock down the Japanese's arrogance, force them back, and then stabilize the defense line and build the base!"

The leader had long wanted to do this, but the Japanese were not fools either.

After suffering a few losses from division of troops, no matter how the Eighth Route Army provoked, it always steadily advanced with the strengthening of the squadron and the puppet army of the two companies, and eroded the villages and towns that the Eighth Route Army had just taken down, and did not advance alone, making the front-line troops exhausted and unable to find the opportunity to fight.

The only chance is to take a gamble.

Concentrate superior forces and firepower to kill all the Japanese and puppet troops.

But this is too risky to fight. Although the main force of the regiment seized a lot of mortars and shells in several offensive battles, he also used a lot of shells during the attack. Then, the regiment headquarters had more than 80 shells left, and without each gun, he could only average ten shells.

Although the Japanese and puppet troops had only one mortar team and four mortars, they had hundreds of shells and a large number of excellent gunners.

If you really fight head-on, the eighty shells in the regiment will definitely not be the opponent.

If the shells are used up and the enemy is not killed, the mortars equipped by the artillery company will completely become a pile of scrap iron, and it is not as useful as a fire stick on the battlefield.

With this worry, the regiment commander never dared to fight this battle.

"Report..." The radio operator's voice suddenly rang in the war room. The regiment commander looked up and asked, "Is there an order from the district to give us?"

The radio operator quickly handed the translated message to the regiment commander, and then reported: "The division allows us to gather all the excess grain and livestock of the troops together and send them to the garrison of the Punishment and National Rescue Army to exchange them for the weapons, ammunition and other scarce supplies that the troops need!"

"Turn food and livestock to exchange weapons and ammunition? How is this possible? Is the division wrong?" the regiment commander asked with disbelief.

"The war zone has always been guarding against our Eighth Route Army. We are very afraid that we will grow and grow in Shanxi. In the past, we used to use the ocean to buy weapons from them. Why did it suddenly become like a different person? Not only would we sell weapons and ammunition to us, but we also agreed to exchange them for food. The contrast between the two fronts and backs is too great!"

After saying that, the group leader turned his attention to the telegram in his hand and looked at it word by word, wanting to find one or two loopholes.

Soon he focused his attention on the words "pacifying the national rescue army".

Last time, the Chief of Staff brought back so many weapons and ammunition at one time. With them, the troops had the strength to turn defeat into victory, so the regiment commander still remembered this incident freshly.

Although the division said that the weapons and ammunition were allocated by the top, the regiment commander was 80% sure that those weapons and ammunition must be related to pacifying the National Salvation Army. However, there were some ulterior secrets on both sides, so he could not explore the reasons.

But this idea has been hidden in my heart.

Now the pacification and national rescue army has appeared again, and the Eighth Route Army has to sell weapons and ammunition. When thinking of the mysterious relationship between him and the Eighth Route Army, the doubts in his heart disappeared in an instant.
