In Taigu Village, Xiyang County, the autumn harvest has all ended.

The green storage materials made by Chen Shan’s family are very good. The two goats that rely on hay and grains to survive the winter have eaten fermented green storage materials for the first time in winter.

The effect is very good. After more than a month, the two goats not only did not lose weight, but also grew a lot.

More importantly, the ewe at home seems to be pregnant.

Faced with this good news, the Chen family was overjoyed. During the day, they were purging land and earning food, and at night, they served two goats and a fat pig at home.

They are all livestock that can bring direct benefits to their families in a short period of time. After serving them, they can exchange dozens of kilograms of refined grain from the National Savior Army before the New Year. Mr. Chen has made a decision in his mind: to exchange ten kilograms of millet for pork, and let the family have a good New Year.

The only thing that made Mr. Chen regret was that the twenty acres of wasteland that could be reclaimed at home would be reclaimed soon.

Every time the family reclaims one acre of wasteland, the National Rescue Army subsidizes everyone ten kilograms of grain. The Chen family not only gains an unexpected harvest of 200 kilograms of grain by reclaiming wasteland, but also has an additional twenty acres of land that belongs entirely to the farm next year.

Although they are all dry land and their grain produces very low food, small mosquitoes are also meat.

Even if a mu of land only collects forty or fifty kilograms of grain, these twenty acres will bring nearly a thousand kilograms of grain income to the Chen family because of the exemption of grain tax in the first year.

Of course, this income will not be seen until next autumn harvest. Now the Chen family attaches the most importance to the ten kilograms of grain subsidy for one acre of land.

Because of these subsidies, my family can eat a dry meal every day during this period, and it is the kind of cakes and batter that does not add wild vegetables.

If the subsidy for ten kilograms of grain a day is lost, and the family will definitely not dare to eat like this if they don’t need to continue to reclaim wasteland.

At this moment, not only Mr. Chen, but many ordinary people who are about to be renovated or have already been renovated are worried about this matter. I hope the National Salvation Army can provide you with some work that can be exchanged for food.

At this moment, news that the National Rescue Army collected a large number of bullet shells quickly spread in the village.

Xiyang is too poor and no one looks down on it, so there are very few wars in Xiyang, and it is difficult to collect bullet shells.

But there have been many battles that have been pacified. The National Salvation Army and the Japanese and puppet troops have fought many battles in the mountains, and there are definitely bullet shells that can be found there.

Not to mention too much, if you find a pound of bullet shells per person a day, you can get a pound of food from the National Savior Army.

If you are lucky, you will find a place where the National Savior Army and the Japanese exchange fire. It will be fine to find more than ten kilograms of bullet shells a day. If you get back, you will have more than ten kilograms of grain, which is higher than the profit of reclaiming wasteland.

Early the next morning, except for those who reclaimed wasteland and cared for pigs and sheep, the others in the village all embarked on the journey of finding bullet shells with a cloth bag...

The arrival of a telegram from the Yangquan Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army also made the leader and political commissar both happy.

Although the attack on the enemy-occupied areas allowed the Independent Regiment to achieve great results and seized a lot of equipment and ammunition, they also made the same mistakes as the National Salvation Army.

Because he was not familiar with the Japanese field troops and underestimated their combat effectiveness, the Independent Regiment suffered a lot of losses at the beginning of the battle and consumed a lot of ammunition during the battle.

In addition, the Independent Regiment had just expanded two battalions, and there were still many weapons and ammunition that suddenly became in short supply.

Especially after the Japanese army changed tactics and contracted defense, this problem became even more significant!

If the Japanese and puppet troops do not attack, the troops will not be able to fight annihilation war and will not be able to seize ammunition and replenish the troops.

However, the ammunition consumption speed in the regiment will not stop just because the Japanese and puppet troops do not send troops.

Some people say that if the Japanese and puppet troops do not invade the base, the independent regiment will not have to fight and will not consume bullets.

This idea is very wrong.

The Independent Regiment does not only require the anti-sweeping regiment to consume bullets.

Normal training, cracking down on Japanese and puppet military spies, traitors, harassing Japanese and puppet military strongholds, and carrying out tasks assigned by superiors... all require a large amount of bullets.

The long-term only goes out but not in makes the independence regiment's already shortage of ammunition even worse.

The regiment commander decided to use food to buy bullets from the National Salvation Army to solve the current difficulties encountered by the Independent Regiment.

During the battle against the enemy-occupied areas, the Independent Regiment also harvested a large amount of food.

Although the troops expanded the forces of the two battalions and their food consumption increased significantly, if they saved one, they would definitely save more than 100,000 kilograms of food.

Before this idea could be implemented, the superior's telegram came.

The above said that the National Salvation Army not only collects food, but also contains bullet shells. On average, three bullet shells can be replaced with one bullet, and any caliber is fine.

For an independent group with a shortage of ammunition, this is definitely a good thing for a pie to fall from the sky.

Although the Independent Regiment can exchange food for bullets, the food is saved by the soldiers from their own food.

After the bullet is replaced, the soldiers' living conditions in the future will definitely be worse, and they will be demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall.

Bullet shells are different, they are a business without any money.

Any place where the war has been fought can be found. Not to mention that it is inexhaustible, the price of getting them is definitely much lower than that of tens of thousands of kilograms of grain.

The regiment commander immediately ordered: "Political Commissar, this good news came too timely. I think we should mobilize all military and civilians in the base to help us collect bullet shells."

"Our base has fought more than ten battles in just one month or two. One battle is consumed by both the enemy and us, and there are more than one hundred thousand bullets in total."

"I remember that several of the battles were particularly large in scale. The enemy and us must have consumed more than 20,000 bullets, which means that we can collect at least 200,000 bullet shells based on it."

"In addition to the guerrilla area, 300,000 bullet shells can definitely be collected!"

"When we collect all the existing bullet shells in the base area and the guerrilla area, the Japanese in the city will also form combat power. They will definitely find a way to retake the occupied area from us."

"At that time, we won't fight with them, we will mobilize a large number of troops to fight guerrillas with them, and force them to use piercing machine guns to counterattack on the battlefield."

"The Japanese have the habit of taking away and destroying excess weapons and ammunition when retreating, and there is no habit of destroying bullet shells."

"As soon as they leave, the bullet shells left on the battlefield are ours."

"We fire a bullet against the Japanese. If we can make the Japanese counterattack ten bullets, we can seize ten bullet shells and exchange at least three bullets from the National Salvation Army. If we subtract one bullet from the used one, we can earn two more."

"If we fire one bullet and force the Japanese to fire twenty bullets at us, we can earn five bullets in vain."

"The Japanese are ammunition enough, they are used to it, and they like to use firepower to counterattack against our guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. If this kind of fighting method is done, it is possible for us to fire one bullet and exchange it for ten bullets."

The political commissar is the steward of the Independent Regiment, and at least half of his energy is spent every day collecting weapons and ammunition for the troops.

If this matter is really as well said by the regiment commander, if the independent regiment fires a bullet and can exchange it for several bullets, then I won’t have to spend so much effort to raise ammunition for the troops every day in the future.

Support immediately: "I will leave the task of collecting bullet shells within the base area to complete. You are responsible for collecting bullet shells in the guerrilla area. If we can really exchange bullet shells for bullets from the National Salvation Army, the problem of the shortage of ammunition in the independent regiment will definitely be solved by more than half."

Tang Yufeng, who had been working outside for several days in Xiyang County's National Salvation Army, finally came back.

I was in a very good mood, with a smile on the corner of my mouth. When I walked in, I reported excitedly: "Captain, my mission has been completed!"

"The equipment in the arsenal is assembled in place by itself. Director Kong also brought several workers to maintain it. There was no problem. Can the generator be put into production as soon as it arrives?"

"The first batch of sixteen disabled soldiers have joined the arsenal, and the first batch of more than 6,000 kilograms of bullet shells have also been sent to the arsenal. The workers have started working. I stayed there for a day and the results are very good."

"The disabled warriors who are called "waste people" can screen and clean 400 bullet shells per person a day. The soldiers with a lower disability are responsible for cleaning the bullet shells. Sixteen disabled warriors clean out more than 5,000 bullet shells in a day."

"Director Kong took someone to check it out, and the pass rate exceeded 99%, which fully meets the reinstallation requirements."

"I was originally worried that so many disabled soldiers were recruited by the arsenal. After watching it for a day, I felt completely relieved."

"Director Kong is also very satisfied with their status and achievements. He also told me that in the future, all such soldiers in the regiment will be sent to the arsenal."

"In addition to screening and cleaning bullet casings, they can also assist workers in producing bullets, repairing firearms, maintaining firearm parts, inspecting the bullets we produce, packing and packing...a lot of work can be done."

Zhou Cheng had guessed this result a long time ago and immediately agreed: "As long as Director Kong needs it, all disabled soldiers who cannot go to the local army will be sent to the arsenal!"

"My thought is: except for the main technical workers and some physical work, all the work in the entire arsenal is for the disabled to do."

"Although their speed is a little slower, they are very safe to use and will not leak information."

Tang Yufeng's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this: "Captain, I really didn't expect this problem if I didn't say it."

"The warriors who were crippled because of fighting the Japanese must be heroes. A real man will never be attracted by the Japanese."

"Because these soldiers have inconvenient legs and feet, they will definitely not go out casually after joining the arsenal. I probably have fewer opportunities to visit, so the arsenal will have fewer connections with the outside world, which will be more conducive to keeping the arsenal confidentiality!"

Zhou Cheng nodded and continued, "Since the arsenal has been built, it's just a generator. I'll get the generator back in the past few days."

"The department's advice given to us was very good. I thought about it and then started a generator from the coal mine."

"The generator there is coal-burning, and the raw materials can be solved after they are brought back."

"I decided to set off tonight, bring the Reconnaissance Company, the Fire Platoon of the Guard Company, a Main Platoon, two platoons of the Cavalry Company, and the Reconnaissance Team. I set off overnight, arrive at the destination one night, launch an attack tomorrow night and then retreat, and return to the defense zone the night after tomorrow."

"The Eighth Route Army, which is active near the target, has been contacted. They will draw a main battalion to cooperate with our actions and investigate the enemy situation at the same time."
Chapter completed!
