The battalion commander standing next to Tang Yufeng was already scared and sweating profusely.

The words "defeated as a mountain" are particularly suitable to describe his situation at this moment. Everyone can see that the National Salvation Army wants to use him to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Since he has been exposed, he will have no chance to survive and will not take revenge on everyone.

And there are also benefits to take, so of course everyone will rush to report it and step on it before he dies!

When the sixth reporter stood up, the battalion commander could no longer hold on and knelt on the ground with a "splash..."

Tang Yufeng made a decision on the spot: "Our National Salvation Army keeps our word, and all the six people who participated in the report just now reduced the labor reform time for one year."

"As for Battalion Commander Li around me, he did many evil deeds while working for the Japanese. He held several lives in his hand and completely met the shooting requirement. I will execute him in public in front of everyone... and shoot!"

"Bow..." The crisp gunshots of the 38th large cover quickly rang out in the venue. The bullet hit the forehead. The splashed blood instantly dyed a face red. Then I saw the battalion commander who had been disguised for several days collapsed to the ground.

After the two soldiers dragged the bodies away, Tang Yufeng looked at more than a thousand prisoners again.

There were also many puppet army officers who had hidden their identities among them, all of whom were captured soldiers who had joined the National Salvation Army to report on their own initiative, but they were not guilty and the role of killing chickens to warn monkeys was already played. Tang Yufeng decided not to move them first, and then confronted them one by one when they decided on the labor reform deadline.

Facing Tang Yufeng's gaze, more than a thousand prisoners all lowered their heads and did not dare to look up, especially those who had hidden their identities, for fear that they would be targeted and would be killed by the National Saving Army to warn the monkey.

Tang Yufeng decided to strike while the iron was hot and asked loudly: "Is there anyone who opposes participating in labor reform and atonement?"

"No...I support participating in labor reform and atone for the mistakes I have made!" a prisoner replied loudly.

"I also agree to participate in labor reform!" Another prisoner immediately responded...

A large number of consent sounded quickly at the venue, and even if I had any opinions in my heart, I would not dare to raise them at this time.

They were all frightened by what happened just now, and labor reform has time limits. As long as they work hard during the transformation period and strive for a variety of acres of land, they may be able to go home in half a year.

For these people who have just escaped from the clutches of the Japanese devils, such labor reform is simply too easy.

In the division command center deep in the Taihang Mountains, the political commissar walked in with a happy look on his face: "Teacher, there is something good!"

"This is an information I just received. I didn't expect that Comrade Zhou Cheng had such a big new idea, and it has begun to be implemented after only a few days of contact."

"I think this proposal is very good. It is not only suitable for the National Rescue Army, but also for our Eighth Route Army. It is best to promote the entire army immediately!"

The teacher was shocked by his partner's words: "The idea of ​​being attracted to by the political commissar must be special. I'll listen carefully!"

"After listening, you will definitely agree to promote this idea in the entire army!" The political commissar was very confident in his judgment and looked at the division commander's report.

"Some time ago, Zhou Cheng sent us a telegram and mentioned the Japanese's "Three Lights Policy". This kind of approach is very vicious and wants to drag down us and the National Salvation Army from the logistics."

"In order to solve the food shortage of more than 100,000 victims in the defense zone, the National Rescue Army not only reduced the military rations of the troops and scrambled to grow grain, but also mobilized all main troops and local troops to reclaim land and farm on their own, be self-sufficient, and reduce the pressure on the people in the defense zone!"

"I think we can promote this matter in all base areas: according to the plan of the National Salvation Army, one main force of the main force reclaims 200 acres of land. If the weather is good, these 200 acres of land can provide the main force with food for about four months, which is equivalent to the people in the base area only need to provide the troops with eight months of food. The extra grain can be stored in case of emergency needs."

"The local troops have fewer tasks, so they can use their training to reclaim two acres of land per capita!"

"As for the puppet troops we captured on the battlefield, those who were willing to join our Eighth Route Army were dealt with according to the original policy. All prisoners who were unwilling to join our National Salvation Army were left in the base area for labor reform, and their labor reform time was determined based on the different crimes they committed when they were puppet troops."

"The task of the labor reform troops is also to reclaim land and farm. Each person must cultivate at least five acres of land. If they plant more and have good harvests, they can appropriately reduce their labor reform time in a year, encourage them to reclaim land, produce more land, and produce more grain, and further reduce the grain pressure on the people in the base area."

As he listened, the expression on the teacher's face had been seriously replaced.

After the political commissar said that, he couldn't help but sigh: "This idea is indeed very good. It can not only reduce the pressure on the people in the base area, but also increase the grain reserves of the military and civilians in the base area, and thus increase the risk resistance of the base area, killing two birds with one stone."

"I think this idea should not only be promoted throughout the division, but also reported to the headquarters and promoted throughout the army."

"There are more than ten days left before spring plowing. If we start to reclaim wasteland now, every soldier in the base can open two acres of wasteland, and ten thousand people will be 20,000 mu of wasteland. Even if one acre of land only harvests 100 kilograms of grain, then there will be two million kilograms of grain, which is enough for 5,000 people to eat for a year."

"Political Commissar, send a telegram to Zhou Cheng immediately, asking him to send all the land reclamation plans of the National Rescue Army. If it is also applicable to the Eighth Route Army, we will forward the original text directly to the headquarters and each base area, and use the ready-made land reclamation plan to strive to allow each army without combat missions to reclaim two acres of wasteland before spring plowing."

At the same moment, the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan also received information from the National Salvation Army that the National Salvation Army mobilized troops to reclaim wasteland in an attempt to be self-sufficiency in food.

The Chief of Staff's expression after reading the telegram was particularly heavy.

The National Salvation Army is in the area occupied by the Imperial Army, and the food supply depends entirely on the defense area where it is located and cannot get any foreign aid.

It is precisely because of this that the National Salvation Army cannot expand its troops on a large scale.

If the national rescue army relies on self-sufficiency to solve the problem of food shortage, they will definitely expand their troops on a large scale, and it will definitely be more difficult for the Shanxi garrison to deal with them.

The Chief of Staff's expression was also particularly heavy at the beginning, but it quickly became relaxed.

Take a deep breath and analyze: "Our opponents are very cunning and want to solve their food shortage by self-sufficiency. This idea does sound good."

"But Zhou Cheng forgot one thing: the army exists to train and fight, not farming. If they are like them, put down their weapons and take hoes to reclaim land, the training time of the army will definitely be shorter and shorter, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the army. Maybe it will also damage the morale of the army."

"And this incident also proves from another aspect that the National Salvation Army is indeed very short of food!"

"As an excellent commander, you will never let your subordinates replace the gun in your hand with a hoe until they are absolutely necessary, and go to reclaim land like a farmer. That is no different from not doing your job properly!"

"So we don't have to worry too much about this. Land reclamation can indeed solve the food shortage problem of the National Salvation Army to a certain extent, but it cannot solve the current situation where the National Salvation Army is in urgent need of a large amount of food."

"Even if they reclaim tens of thousands of acres of wasteland in the defense zone, they will have to wait until the autumn harvest will not lead to harvest."

"And the existing grain in their hands cannot sustain the autumn harvest at all."

"This means that their defense zones are likely to be in chaos before the autumn harvest. When we take advantage of the situation, we will definitely be able to take over the national rescue army for our own use. Then the tens of thousands of acres of land they have cultivated hard will be used as a wedding dress for us, and our Shanxi garrison will be free to take advantage of it."

"Just order the intelligence department to continue to focus on the every move of the National Salvation Army. Never act rashly. If they are willing to reclaim the land, let them do it. Anyway, we will benefit in the end."

"The troops on the blockade line must be wary and not allow a piece of food to flow from the Imperial Army to the National Rescue Army Defense Zone."

"This time we will use grain to force Zhou Cheng to compromise with us and join us."

The Army Commander's analysis sounds very reasonable.

The worry between the chief of staff's eyebrows slowly disappeared, and finally replied with admiration and compliment: "Sir, wise, let's make arrangements now!"

The Second World War II Command, the Chief of Staff and the Commander-in-Chief were also discussing the national rescue army's behavior of reclamation in the defense zone.

The chief of staff spoke first: "Commander-in-Chief, Zhou Cheng was forced by the Japanese. He wanted to learn from Cao Cao and cultivate food by himself."

"But he forgot one thing, it's not the Three Kingdoms period anymore."

"At that time, the troops had to eat enough to eat enough. Now it is completely different. If a force wants to develop combat effectiveness, the more they fight, the stronger they will be. In addition to eating enough, they also need to equip them with weapons of fine grain, and provide them with sufficient ammunition and logistical support. None of them is missing."

"The military farming can provide food to the troops, and there is no way to provide weapons and ammunition. So I think the current behavior of the National Salvation Army is simply not doing its job properly and wasting time and troops in vain!"

The commander-in-chief said, "You are right, Cao Cao is not that easy to learn."

"Their current behavior is indeed ineffective, which not only wastes time, but also affects the combat effectiveness of the troops."

"It seems that the National Rescue Army has really not much food in its hands. As long as we continue to strengthen the blockade of their defense zones and prevent the food from flowing in, I don't expect that it will take too long for the National Rescue Army to be defeated by the food."

The Chief of Staff hesitated for a moment to remind: "Then should we help them a little at the right time."

"Although we want to use the Japanese to kill the National Savior Army, the more fierce the fight between the two sides will definitely be beneficial to us. If the National Savior Army is defeated too quickly due to shortage of food, then our goal of using the National Savior Army to consume a large amount of strength of the Japanese and puppet army will not be able to achieve it."

The commander-in-chief thought for a while and replied: "It is certain to provide assistance, but you must choose the right time."

"After the National Salvation Army is truly in desperate situation, we can support them with a little food and give them the strength to continue to build, absolutely not too much."

"Otherwise, the National Salvation Army will definitely take the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, overcome the current crisis, and then become stronger and stronger."

The Chief of Staff quickly accepted the order: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely make someone keep a close eye on the National Salvation Army."

The commander-in-chief continued to order: "This period of time cannot make the national rescue army too quiet."

"Don't they reclaim wasteland in the defense zone? You asked the intelligence department to spread some rumors in their defense zone: making the people feel that the national rescue army has no food, and then they will not do their jobs and reclaim wasteland in the defense zone to shake their military morale and morale."

The Chief of Staff's eyes lit up: "This move is amazing!"

"Although it cannot shake the foundation of the National Salvation Army, it can cause them a lot of trouble. Let's arrange it now."
