At night, the snow seems to be getting heavier and heavier, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger. The wind in the middle of the night blows on people's faces, as if the whole person is being blown to ice by the wind.
However, the team did not stop. In most of the day, the army walked more than 40 kilometers and arrived directly near Tujiatun, south of Xinjing City.
"Stationmaster, our vanguard has arrived at Tujiatun, do we need to rest where we are?"
"Let's rest for a while. At the same time, we will send people to stand guard. No one in Tujiatun is allowed to leave or leave. You know what to do."
Zhang Tianhao looked at Chen Shijie in front of him and said calmly.
"Know!"
The night is getting deeper and deeper, from noon to now, it is already morning, and the entire army is indeed exhausted. Even the speed has dropped a lot.
Soon, the entire team entered the elementary school, which was a small elementary school. Then everyone found a place to sit down and began to rest.
Except for those standing guard, basically no one was moving.
"Shijie, the situation here is not good now. Although the soldiers can march at a fast speed, at this speed, our military rations are somewhat insufficient."
"Stationmaster, I am afraid of this matter. After all, if we don't have food, then everything below is just talk." Chen Shijie sat under Zhang Tianhao, and then his face looked a little ugly.
All the officers at battalion level and above gathered together and sat in a classroom with Zhang Tianhao for a meeting.
The content of this meeting was not long, but the problem was quite serious. In addition to reviewing various problems during the march, it was also the issue of military rations.
Without food and grass, everything is empty talk.
"Either this, do you think it's okay? We can go buy some. What do you think? I know there is a warehouse in the south of the city. We can send a large number of people to buy it."
"Stationmaster, this plan is feasible, but the problem is that the soldiers are too tired to buy it now. If they want to go, they still have at least twenty miles to go. If they want to go there, it is really not suitable."
"Otherwise, there are landowners in this village. We can buy from them and give them money. As long as we have money, I believe he will sell. If he doesn't sell, he will know the consequences. He can take the money and go to the city to buy and give away.
Came back."
Zhang Tianhao thought for a moment and then said directly.
"That's okay, let's do this, Commander Yu, you lead a group of people to buy food from door to door and give it at a high price. I have the money here."
He went directly outside and took out a suitcase from the trunk of his car, which was full of money, including a hundred thousand counterfeit coins.
"Stationmaster, it seems you are well prepared!"
"hehe!"
Zhang Tianhao remembered that in August, this landowner bought a lot of grain to supply Chen Shijie and the others. Now that there is more, he doesn't know if it has been sold.
If it is not sold, his men will not have to worry about food problems for at least a month.
"Lao Yu, I remember that I asked this landowner to buy a large amount of grain last time. You go over and buy it now. The money here is enough to buy all the grain from his family."
"Webmaster, I understand, I will go there now."
When Yu Xiong heard this, it seemed that there was such a thing. After all, they left in mid-to-late August, and it was only November now.
…
In Shanghai, Qian Jun was sitting in the hall of his villa, looking at the more than 300 soldiers recruited outside. These were the soldiers who had fallen behind during the retreat on the battlefield.
His brows couldn't help but jump several times. Now they have recruited a thousand people, and the number is still increasing. He can't imagine whether his money will be able to support it until that time.
Two hundred thousand US dollars is enough money, but the problem is that the price of food is constantly rising, and it is now at least two or three times higher than before the war.
And with thousands of people here, it’s obviously not suitable.
There were also weapons and the like, and it was time for him to decide how to place the recruited soldiers.
He couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. Although he had only been back for half a month, the troops were all evacuating now. It was still easy for him to recruit some idle soldiers here.
His identity is not a problem, and he is wearing a major's military uniform, so he can stop these people and reorganize the training.
"Taihu Lake, by the way, military camps can definitely be established on the Taihu Lake side, and they can train on the islands in the lake and evacuate at any time. The terrain there is complicated and it's not the same thing at all."
Thinking of this, he began to call his men over to discuss setting up base areas outside. Only by establishing base areas could we better distribute personnel. Otherwise, it would be a problem to always be in the concession and there would be too many.
"Erbao and Sanba, now that we have our numbers, the only thing we need to do is to establish a military camp for retraining, and even conduct alley training. Therefore, I plan to let you go to Weishan Lake to establish a guerrilla force.
When the time comes, the stationmaster will come over and we will have someone available."
"yes!"
Erbao and the others didn't have any objections at all. After all, Zhang Tianhao and the others brought it up. During training, Zhang Tianhao would also go over and take a look.
Guiding their training, everyone knows that this is inevitable.
"Sanhu, Jiujin, you take a hundred people to Shandong and northern Jiangsu to establish a base for me in the mountains. I didn't understand it before, but now it seems that the stationmaster still has a far-sighted vision. When the time comes, you organize
Manpower, recruit team members, focus on your hometown area, and prepare to resist Japan."
"yes!"
"Hu San, Ah Yue, the two of you will lead a hundred people to the Yancheng area to recruit people for me, prepare a guerrilla force, and listen to the station commander's orders at any time. You will recruit a large number of people for training, and then start fighting with the Japanese army.
"
"Aguo, Acai and two people will lead a hundred people to LYG to establish a base and recruit personnel for training. As for the rest, I really can't provide it to you here. After all, my family's fortune is here.
"
"Ah Shui, Ah Hong, you two will lead two hundred brothers to Taihu Lake for training. Remember, you must be able to play with water. Otherwise, you will be the eyes of others when you arrive at Taihu Lake."
"Also, pay attention to contacting the bandits around you, and at the same time, stay vigilant. These bandits cannot be trusted, and your own strength is your own."
In the blink of an eye, he divided the thousands of people into nearly 800 people. The remaining 200 people could hide in the concession and run outside to attack the Japanese.
They also take turns to conduct sneak attacks. After all, the Japanese are not very stable now. Kill one by one.
"Section Chief, do we still need to recruit people?"
"Call, call with all your strength. As long as they are soldiers who have retreated from the battlefield, recruit them all. At least it will be better than them going elsewhere to harm people."
"yes!"
As Qian Jun's order was issued, everyone began to select soldiers and began to add them to their respective teams. Moreover, personnel continued to sneak out of the concession and rush to various locations.
Looking at the assigned personnel, Qian Jun breathed a sigh of relief and felt a bit tired.
"I really don't know how the boss manages it, and I don't know what his situation is like!"
But he didn't know that Zhang Tianhao was also worried about the army. After all, there were only three thousand people there, and it was difficult to even feed them.
After all, every meal consists of a huge amount of food, not just for three or four hundred people.
Zhang Tianhao sat there, slowly thinking about what to do next. After all, he had reached this stage and there was not much time. The difficulty had also increased a lot.
