At the headquarters of the new regiment, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang was in a very bad mood.

Time passed, and the losses in the base area were also counted little by little and sent to him.

Holding a telegram in his hand, he hesitated for a long time before walking up to Wang Ping: "Regiment leader, our final losses in this counter-sweep have been counted!" The losses were so great that we could barely afford them! ”

Wang Ping's face was very unsightly from beginning to end.

Shaking his head and replying, "Say it!" No matter what the outcome, I can stand it! ”

Huang Yuanqiang took a deep breath and replied: "According to statistics, there are more than 60,000 houses damaged and burned down by the Japanese army, and now there are at least 200,000 homeless people in the entire base area, and basically the entire village is homeless......

"In addition to the destruction of the house, other finances, especially food, have been snatched away by the little devils, or are they damaged!" Wang Ping interrupted with a calm face.

"There is, but there are very few!" Huang Yuanqiang replied.

"According to statistics, the devils stole no more than 40,000 catties of grain, but the devils' air raids destroyed a lot, including the battalion headquarters of a newly formed battalion, with a total of 150,000 catties of grain ......"

"A total of 190,000 catties of grain is still within our acceptable range!" Wang Ping replied with a long sigh of relief.

He is the only one who knows the scale of the drought in front of him, so no one knows the importance of food better than him.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued to ask: "How much grain does the people who have moved to the hinterland of the base area consume us, and how much grain do we have left!" ”

"Only 6.5 million catties of grain were consumed, but the construction of water conservancy consumed a lot of grain, all of which added up to 14.3 million catties of grain!"

"We originally hoarded more than 28 million catties of grain, but the more than 30,000 mu of land reclaimed by the troops for self-sufficiency harvested a total of 3.8 million catties of grain in the autumn harvest, a total of 31.8 million catties!"

"Since the autumn received, 800,000 jin has been used now, and there would have been 31 million jin left. However, the military region asked us to borrow 5 million catties of grain, and there are still 26 million catties left! In addition to the more than 14 million catties used, we still have less than 12 million catties left! ”

"In addition, there are quite a few kinds of canned food seized from the devils, a whole forty tons...... Commander, you asked me to stay all of them, and I haven't moved! ”

"Very good!" Wang Ping's face looked better.

"In this troubled world, as long as there is food, any problem can be solved!"

Huang Yuanqiang frowned and said with a wry smile: "Commander, food can indeed solve the problem. But now there are people who are eyeing the food in our hands! ”

"The people whose houses were destroyed don't know what's going on, and they are particularly dissatisfied with our Eighth Route Army! shouted for us to fulfill the promise of the Eighth Route Army, a house that they were burned down by devils, otherwise they would be compensated with food, and the per capita compensation would be 100 catties of grain......"

"More than 200,000 people have lost their houses, and they will be compensated according to the standard of 100 catties of grain per capita, which will cost more than 20 million catties, and we simply don't have that much food in our hands!"

"Our troops went back with the people, because the villages and towns were destroyed, and the garrisons were all built improvised!"

"During this time, a large number of civilians surrounded the garrison every day, besieging our troops, demanding that our new regiment fulfill its promise and compensate them for food!"

Wang Ping's eyes quickly shot out two rays of fine light, and then replied with a murderous expression: "Little devil, there must be little devils doing things here!" ”

"Director Wei Yongwei, let him bring someone over overnight to arrest all the ordinary people who took the lead in stirring up trouble, remember to keep it secret, and the definite evidence of these people's collusion with the little devil will be announced to the public in the future!"

"All the main forces of the regiment, the local garrison troops, the guerrillas, except for the troops on the edge of the base area who fought against the Japanese puppet army, all the other troops rushed to this area in a hurry to help the people repair the damaged houses!"

"The logistics department, bring all the tents we have hoarded, live in tents if there are no houses, and make sure that the old and weak women and children are not frostbitten and frozen to death......"

"As for the grain, it still has to be compensated. However, it cannot be compensated according to the standards they demand! ”

"Before the house is repaired, regardless of the old or weak, each ordinary person will be compensated with one pound of food per day, and the compensation will stop after the house is repaired."

"We can send more than 10,000 people to repair the houses, plus the nearly 200,000 local people, as long as there are no accidents, we can repair all the houses in a month at most, so that the people can live in their new homes!"

"Because of the order, we can consume a maximum of five million catties of grain!"

"In this way, we have not broken our promise!"

In Huangjia Village, less than 30 kilometers from Linfen City, when the Japanese army retreated, a fire burned all the more than 100 houses in the village to ruins, leaving nothing in them except for the earthen walls.

Behind a mountain beam at the east end of the village, more than 500 people from Huangjia Village gathered here.

With the help of the guerrillas, each family built a shack to keep warm and ensure that no one froze to death on cold nights.

Under the cover of night, in a shack on the very edge, three middle-aged men were whispering something.

Suddenly, six Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed into the shack, and the black hole wound was pointed at their heads.

The three middle-aged people were stunned for a moment, but soon they reacted: "Who are you, we are all ordinary people, there are troops of the Eighth Route Army nearby, you must not act rashly!" ”

"We are the Eighth Route Army!" An Eighth Route Army with a pistol hanging from his waist flashed into the shack and said.

Hearing the three words of the Eighth Route Army, the three middle-aged men became calm and replied very arrogantly: "Then you can't arrest us!" ”

"There are people everywhere here, let us go immediately, otherwise I will call people, and you Eighth Route Army will arrest people indiscriminately!"

"I know, it must be that your Eighth Route Army doesn't want to fulfill its promise to compensate us for food, and then come to arrest people, it must be like this!"

The cadre who had just flashed into the tent replied with a confident face: "Then you can call it!" ”

"By the way, let the people in the village know how you worked for the little devils and how you betrayed your ancestors. When the time comes, not only will you not be able to lift your head in the village, but your family will never be able to lift your head! ”

"You are talking nonsense, we didn't give our lives to the little devils!" A middle-aged man cried out.

"Zhou Futian of Zhou Village, you know each other! To tell you the truth, he is a traitor planted by the little devils in our base area. You have accepted Zhou Futian's ocean and done things for Zhou Futian, you say you are not traitors! ”

The three middle-aged people, who were still arrogant just now, panicked all of a sudden, and became panicked.

"As long as you follow us, after we find out a few things, you can leave, and our Eighth Route Army promises not to tell this matter!" The cadre followed suit and added.

"I'll go with you!"

The next day, when many people in Huangjia Village gathered near their shacks, ready to follow them to the nearby Eighth Route Army garrison and threaten the Eighth Route Army to compensate them for their food, the three middle-aged men actually refused.

"Lao Zhang, didn't you ask us to besiege the Eighth Route Army at that time, saying that the Eighth Route Army would definitely compensate us for food? Why didn't you go again! An older man in the village asked.
