The independent battalion had not yet received a telegram of reinforcements from the military division, but the military region and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army were the first to receive the news that the Japanese puppet army was about to sweep the base area of the independent battalion by gathering heavy troops.

A few months ago, the news that a battalion-level unit had been attacked by the Japanese army reached the military sub-district.

But the independent battalion is different.

It has in its hands things that the military region, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and even Yan'an are concerned about.

At the military region headquarters, Commander Nie looked at the information over and over again against the map, and his face became more and more ugly.

Frowning and analyzing: "The Japanese puppet army is menacing, and they are bound to win the independent battalion!" ”

"The independent battalion wants to escape this catastrophe, and the pressure is very high."

"Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the First Division at once, asking them what to do. If it really can't be done, it can only be transferred, and the sweet potato flour factory will suspend production, and then resume production after the anti-sweep is over! ”

The chief of staff furrowed his brows and replied: "Then the loss will be great!" ”

"Look at the posture of the Japanese army, if you don't kill the independent battalion, you will not give up, if this counter-sweep cannot be resolved quickly, it will inevitably drag on for several months!"

"Today, the monthly profit of the sweet potato flour factory has reached 8,000 yuan, and it is still increasing. Coupled with the chicken farms that have begun to make a profit and the pig farms that are about to make a profit, it is more than 10,000 oceans a month, and at least 50,000 oceans will be lost in a few months! ”

Commander Nie shook his head and replied, "If it really comes to this point, then no one can do it!" ”

"Let's look at the call back from a partition first, they also account for 20% of the profits of the sweet potato flour factory, and I believe they are more anxious than us!"

In less than half an hour, the call back from the first division reached Commander Nie's hand, and after reading the telegram, Commander Nie's tense nerves suddenly relaxed!

"It seems that they are ready, and I can feel from the telegram that both the 1st Division and the Independent Battalion are full of confidence in this counter-sweep!"

The chief of staff said: "Lao Yang is rare to be generous: directly send a main battalion plus 1,500 oceans, with these reinforcements, the pressure on the independent battalion should be much less!" ”

"The military district can't do without a show!" Commander Nie suddenly made a decision.

"In the past few months, our military region has already received more than 3,000 oceans, and maybe from next month, there will be more than 2,000 oceans every month!"

"These funds were brought to us by the independent battalion, and now the independent battalion is in difficulty, and the military region must not stand idly by!"

"Call back to the 1st Division, and also draw 1,500 oceans from the military region's division this month to the independent battalion to support the independent battalion's post-war reconstruction!"

"In addition, sending our decision to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army along with the telegram of the 1st Division, they shared twice as much as we did each month, and these funds greatly eased their logistical pressure. I'm sure they're more worried about the safety of the Independence Battalion than we are! ”

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy commander-in-chief was concerned about the safety of a battalion, which was definitely a precedent.

But the deputy chief of the General Staff did not have too many surprises.

He was one of the few people who knew why, so his face was full of worry.

Suddenly, the communications staff officer barged in, holding a telegram in his hand, and then reported with an inexplicable expression.

"Chief, the urgent telegram from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is about an independent battalion, but I don't seem to have heard of this independent battalion!"

The deputy commander-in-chief rubbed up from his seat, stared at the communications staff officer and asked, "Is it an independent battalion directly under the first division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, a unit of Lingqiu!" ”

The communications staff officer was even more puzzled, he couldn't understand what was wrong with the chief, he was serious for a while, and suddenly he was so excited for a while, and quickly replied: "It's the Lingqiu Independent Battalion!" ”

"Give me the telegram!" The deputy commander-in-chief immediately shouted.

After quickly reading the telegram, the deputy commander-in-chief completely relaxed.

"Don't worry now, with the reinforcements of Commander Nie and Commander Yang, the independent battalion will definitely have no problem winning this battle!"

Speaking of this, a touch of embarrassment quickly flashed on the face of the deputy commander-in-chief, and then replied: "Let the deputy chief of staff laugh, I was too nervous just now, but the life and death of the independent battalion is related to the income of the headquarters at least 5,000 yuan per month, so I can't help but be nervous!" ”

The deputy chief of staff hurriedly replied: "I understand!" ”

"Now Chongqing is keeping an eye on our Eighth Route Army more and more closely, especially after we have begun to expand our troops on a large scale."

"The military expenditure every month is not much, and we have to deduct some for various reasons, and control the size of our army by controlling military spending!"

"What's more important is that they only issue fiat currency, not to the ocean."

"The fiat currency is not as valuable as the ocean, even if the military expenditure is in hand, when we exchange the fiat currency for the ocean that the people trust more, it will soon shrink by two percent."

"Coupled with the deduction by them, the military spending we get every month is less than seventy percent of what it was a year ago!"

"Although five thousand yuan a month on the side of the independent battalion is not much, for the headquarters, this money can definitely save lives at a critical moment!"

"To be honest, I also sweated for the independent battalion just now!"

Speaking of this, the deputy chief of the general staff seemed to think of something, and then added: "Boss, in order to win this counter-sweep, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and the First Army Division are doing their best to reinforce the independent battalion!" ”

"The headquarters accounts for the majority of the profits sent by the independent battalion every month, and I think the headquarters should also say that it cannot sit idly by!"

The deputy commander-in-chief nodded in affirmation: "The headquarters must have something to say!" ”

But as soon as the words came out, the deputy commander-in-chief's brows furrowed, and he looked embarrassed to answer.

"It is impossible for the Ocean Headquarters to give!"

"Every time the funds are sent, the headquarters can't wait to break one piece into two pieces, and there is no extra funds to reinforce the independent battalion!"

"It's even more impossible to transfer troops and reinforcements, the headquarters is too far away from them, and the whip can't reach it!"

The deputy chief of the General Staff smiled and said, "I have an idea!" ”

"Fight this battle well and expand the independent battalion into an independent regiment!"

The deputy commander-in-chief's eyes lit up and replied: "Good way!" ”

"In addition to the expansion, all the cadres of the original independent battalion have been promoted to one level, the battalion commander has become the regiment commander, the company commander has become the battalion commander, the platoon commander has become the company commander, and the superior will not transfer cadres to supplement the independent regiment after the expansion!"

"I got out the sweet potato flour factory, pig farm, chicken farm, and the superiors have no rewards or commendations, and the two awards are combined into one, and he is directly promoted to the battalion commander to the regiment commander, in one step!"

"Deputy Chief of Staff, you come to draft the message, I will sign it, and then I will send it to Commander Nie!"

Today is definitely a very lucky day for the independent battalion.

Before he received the news of the Japanese puppet army's troops, a telegram of reinforcements from the military subdivision came.

"Battalion commander, the commander is really generous, taking out 1,500 oceans at a time, this is unprecedented!" Wang Hong took the telegram and said happily.

Li Hao's face was directly happy!

Just now, I was thinking that there was too little ocean for the independent battalion to buy grain, and then the military sub-district sent the ocean over like charcoal in the snow.

Without thinking about it, he made a decision: "Dayang instructor, you take it directly, and as soon as the anti-sweep is over, you will take it all out to buy food, and don't have a piece left!" ”

Wang Hong's brows furrowed suddenly.

"And what about post-war reconstruction?"

"Of course, whoever destroys it will rebuild it, and our base area is not the home of the Japanese puppet army, so it is impossible for them to come and leave if they want!" Li Hao replied without thinking about it.

Then he promised: "Instructor, don't worry, after the anti-sweep is over, I promise that no ordinary people will live in the ruins, and not a single ordinary person will starve to death and freeze to death!" ”
