After Koike Akira and Nakajima Hikaru and their group returned to the camp, the team leader went to the team leader to report the mission. Koike Akira kept reminiscing about the first time he had just enjoyed it and played with the gold ring in his hand.
Suddenly, Koike Akira smelled a fragrance and saw that the meal was about to begin. Koike Akira knew that there would be a lot of delicious food today. After all, he had gone to collect food today and collected so many things. The food had to be improved.
Koike Akira hurriedly ran over to queue up. When he saw Hikaru Nakajima standing in front, he smiled and said, "Nakajima-kun, what do you think we should eat today?"
Hikari Nakajima knocked on the bowl and said with a smile, "I smell it and think it should contain pork. It's rare for us to eat this in China."
Koike Akira looked at the sky and said, "Meat? It reminds me of the taste of my mother's cooking at home. But I don't eat meat very often at home. I only eat it often after joining the army. China is really rich here. Just now
Here we have meat to eat.”
Nakajima Hikari nodded and said, "So such a land should have a nation worthy of them. Only our Yamato nation should have such a place. The Chinese people are only worthy of being our vassals."
Soon there were two people in line. When they saw it, today's meal was really rich, including white rice, pork, lotus root, and a bowl of miso soup. After the meal, you can also get a small glass of sake and
A pack of cigarettes.
However, Koike Akira noticed that Nakajima Hikari's eyes were wrong. Koike Akira asked doubtfully, "Nakajima Hikaru, what's wrong with you?"
Nakajima Hikaru sighed and said, "If I guess correctly, we will be transferred to the battlefield soon. Although the food should be better, it shouldn't be this good. Especially that pack of cigarettes, it should be for us
Prepared for battle."
Koike Akira said excitedly, "Really? We are going to the battlefield to kill the Chinese. I can't wait."
Nakajima Hikaru glanced at Koike and said, "You'll know after you finish the meal."
After dinner, the squad leader really started to gather again and said, "Gentlemen, get excited, we are about to enter the battlefield. In the afternoon we will transfer our defense to Luodian. Everyone should know that there are many Chinese troops there who are stubbornly resisting, but
Don’t worry, everyone, these Chinese soldiers are weak, we can beat ten of them one by one, now let’s go to the main group to assemble and then set off.”
Luodian? Isn't that the direction of the 11th Division's attack? Why does your own Third Division also want to participate?
Curious, Koike asked Hikaru Nakajima. Hikaru Nakajima sighed and said, "I heard that the Luodian side was already bleeding like a river, and our fight was not going well."
Koike Akira said disdainfully, "That's because they are useless. If we replace them, there will definitely be no problem."
"Are we finally going to the battlefield?" Koike Akira was a little scared, but more excited. He looked at the 38-type caps of his comrades, the crooked handles, grenades, and 92-heavy machine guns.
Koike Akira smiled and thought, "Is there a more powerful force in the world than this one?"
Soon on the road, Koike Akira's team entered the attack position. The smell coming from not far away was telling Koike Akira that this was a bloody battlefield.
"Look, it's our plane." Hikaru Nakajima shouted loudly. Akira Koike looked up and saw only five planes flying towards the defenders' camp on the opposite side.
"Great, kill those Chinese people!" Koike Akira cheered.
But Koike Akira soon stopped laughing. He only saw a few planes coming from the opposite side, and soon they were fighting with the Japanese aircraft. The planes from both sides were flying around like butterflies. Koike Akira was dazzled by what he saw.
.
At this time, the squad leader suddenly stood up and said, "Get everything ready. After the bombardment is over, immediately follow the tank and charge towards the enemy's position."
Koike Akira held his steel gun tightly. At this time, a squeaking steel tank came to his side. Koike Akira saw the door of the tank open, and a Japanese military station wearing a tank cap appeared.
He came out and looked into the distance with his telescope.
Nakajima Hikaru smiled and said, "Don't be envious, it's very hot inside."
Koike Akira nodded to express his understanding, and then the bombardment began.
Koike Akira only saw huge fireballs emerging from the position in the distance. Koike Akira exclaimed in admiration, "It's amazing. Our Imperial Army is really amazing."
Koike Akira said, patting Nakajima Hikaru: "Nakajima-kun, look, under such artillery fire, how can anyone survive? Are we just going up to pick up corpses? I really don't understand why the 11th Division
You can't win such a battle."
Nakajima Hikaru looked at it and said, "It's true. Even steel will melt under such artillery fire."
The artillery bombardment lasted for more than half an hour. Koike Akira only heard the squad leader's "attack." He immediately gritted his teeth and started to rush upward with a steel gun, but was stopped by Nakajima Hikari.
Koike Akira turned around and asked, "Nakajima Hikari, what's wrong?"
Nakajima Hikaru blinked and said, "Don't be in the front. The ones in the front will die the fastest. Just be a little further in front."
Koike rolled his eyes and nodded, then followed Nakajima Hikaru as he bent forward slowly behind the chariot.
We were already less than 100 meters away from the Chinese position, but there was still no response.
Koike Akira couldn't help but said to Nakajima Hikaru, "Are they all dead? There is no reaction at all?"
Before he finished speaking, Koike Akira suddenly heard a Chinese sentence, and then the Chinese position seemed to suddenly come alive. Countless gunfire burst out. Koike Akira's nerve reflex immediately crawled to the ground. After making sure it was safe, he slowly raised his head.
I only saw countless figures appearing on the Chinese position. More than a dozen of the comrades in front were killed at once. Koike Akira also saw that the squad leader had been injured. He vomited blood and tried to crawl back, but was shot to death by a machine gun.
Got fragments.
Koike Akira said angrily, "Damn the Chinese." As he spoke, he slowly took aim at the machine gunner who was shooting with a machine gun.
"Bang!" Koike took a look and saw that he missed it, but it attracted the attention of the machine gunner. Koike immediately rolled and landed in a crater.
The place where Koike Akira was just now was shot three times by a machine gun.
Hikaru Nakajima was also in this crater. When he saw this scene, he shouted, "Grenade, shoot out that machine gun quickly. Damn it, what is the tank doing?"
When I looked up, I saw that the chariot was staggering towards the position.
However, the chariot that everyone was looking forward to was hit by a cannonball that came from nowhere and caught fire before it had gone very far. Seeing the chariot soldiers who had been so arrogant just now, their bodies were full of fire and they shot out.
Koike Akira swallowed his saliva and said to Nakajima Hikaru, "Nakajima-kun, you are right. It is really hot inside the tank."
At this time, grenades and mortars began to show their power. Koike Akira saw that the machine gun that had just nearly hit him was hit by a grenade and flew into the sky. A deputy shooter wanted to run away in a panic, but Koike Akira immediately shot him.
He hit him and was hit this time. Seeing the Chinese soldier vomiting blood and falling to the ground, Koike licked his lips. It felt really good to kill someone.
At this time, the roar of the captain and his entire army came from behind.
Koike Akira and Nakajima Hikaru also stood up. Koike Akira turned off the safety and began to charge towards the position. Nakajima Hikaru was beside him. The Chinese defenders also took out their weapons. Koike Akira was surprised to see a bigger figure.
A big man who was a head taller than him slashed at him with a big knife. Koike Akira quickly tried to block it with a gun.
With a "bang", Hikari Nakajima fired. Koike looked at Hikaru Nakajima in surprise and said, "Why didn't you turn off the insurance?"
Nakajima Hikaru smiled and said, "Are you stupid? You actually turned off the insurance as required. Even if you are accidentally injured, you will not hit yourself. What are you afraid of? Okay, kill him quickly."
Akira Koike held a gun, looked fiercely at the Chinese soldiers on the ground who were constantly cursing, and stabbed him with a knife. Then he teamed up with Hikaru Nakajima and another comrade to start a bloody hand-to-hand battle with the Chinese army.
As night fell slowly, this small position was finally defeated. Koike Akira and Nakajima Hikari shouted slogans of long live.
Koike sat down on the ground panting, but saw that the comrade he was fighting with was already dead and was mumbling something in the arms of the medical soldier.
He was shot and wounded by a Chinese soldier.
Hikaru Nakajima walked over slowly and cursed, "Damn it, those officers are all liars. Why can we kill ten of them? Akira Koike, do you know how many people in our team just died?"
Koike shook his head in confusion.
Nakajima Hikaru cursed, "Nine people died. We started out with fifty-four people, and now we have become forty-five. Damn it, this is a battle."
Koike Akira also cursed after hearing this, "Damn the Chinese people, we must take revenge."
Nakajima Hikaru sighed, "I just hope that we can all go back alive. You still have to get married, and I still have my newly born daughter."
Koike Akira hesitated for a while and nodded.
The night was very quiet, and the sporadic sound of gunfire in the distance made Koike Akira and Nakajima Hikari indifferent. After dinner, the tired two people quickly fell asleep.
While the Japanese army was sleeping, countless black shadows slowly crawled towards the Japanese army.
Koike Akira was woken up by the explosion. When he opened his eyes in a panic, he saw fighting everywhere. Countless black figures appeared from nowhere and rushed here and there with bright machetes.
Koike Akira also quickly inserted the bayonet into his gun and prepared to rush out.
However, he found several dark objects falling in front of him. Before Koike could react, he was grabbed by Nakajima Hikaru and thrown aside.
"Bang bang bang" several explosions, they were grenades.
Koike looked at Hikari Nakajima and said, "Thank you Hikari Nakajima, you saved my life. These damn Chinese people actually attacked me secretly?" He wanted to rush up.
Nakajima Hikaru looked at the troops being killed and retreating and shouted, "Don't rush, retreat quickly, we can't win. Where did the damn Chinese get so many grenades?"
After retreating to the original position, another count showed that there were only thirty-two people left in the team. Hikaru Nakajima looked at the team with a somewhat low morale and said silently, "This is not a war, this is a mill, a mill that eats flesh and blood."
"
Koike Akira looked at Nakajima Hikari and couldn't help but feel a little scared, "Can I go back? Yumeko is still waiting for me."
——Yan'an
Jiang Cheng was sorting out the materials and material requirements that were constantly reported, while listening to music with headphones. After all, life in Yan'an would be really depressing for him in later generations.
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door. When Jiang Cheng opened the door, he saw Chairman Mao's guard Xiao Wang.
Jiang Cheng asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Wang stood at attention and saluted and said, "203, Chairman Mao suddenly convened an emergency meeting and asked you to attend it."
Jiang Cheng frowned. Now everything is slowly on track. The army has begun to go out one after another. Foreign talents have begun to be grouped according to their wishes. The university has begun to prepare for establishment. Is there anything else that requires an emergency meeting? Jiang Cheng thought while thinking
While following Xiao Wang to the conference room.
The conference room was already full of people. Everyone nodded when they saw Jiang Cheng. Chairman Mao pointed behind him and said, "203, sit behind me and take note of the meeting minutes."
After everyone arrived, Chairman Mao began to say, "It is important to convene everyone for a meeting late at night. Everyone knows that many university professors and senior intellectuals have come to our Yan'an recently."
Seeing everyone nodding, Chairman Mao continued, "Today's meeting is about the research of several professors. He Changgong, please tell me."
He Changgong nodded and said, "Everyone should know that from July to now, the rainfall in our border area has been heavy. Regarding this, we have been worried about this year's grain harvest. Since several scholars coming this time are meteorologists,
The chairman ordered me to consult them, and they immediately checked the records and local conditions during this period." He Changgong paused and continued, "The experts told us good news, the rain will disappear soon.
But there is also bad news. It is followed by the possibility of severe drought in the next few months, especially in the Yan'an - Yanchang - Yanchuan - Mizhi area. The drought will be extremely serious and our grain output may be reduced.
To a dangerous point.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Everything can be lacking, but food is absolutely indispensable.
Ren Bishi immediately said, "Is the situation real? Is it really that serious?"
Lin Boqu stood up and said, "Northern Shaanxi is famous for its disasters. In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng was troubled by natural disasters. Not to mention anything else, since the Republic of China, there have been seven droughts and two floods. Civil society
There has never been much food in stock, and although the people's enthusiasm has increased since the land reform, once the predictions of experts come true, our food will become a big problem."
Chairman Mao lit a cigarette and said, "Mr. Lin, if you add the worst harvest to the private grain reserves, how big will it be?"
Lin Boqu thought for a while and said, "We can hold on until July or August next year at most. If there is no external food, the border area will be out of food. And the key is that although our troops have gone out and have fewer tens of thousands of mouths, there are still people from all over the world."
Comrade Ming came to our Yan'an. These people will usher in a small climax in a few months. I am afraid that with these people, it will be difficult for us to maintain food until May. After all, Yanchuan, Yanchang, Mizhi and other places are because of
Being close to the Yellow River has always been our main source of food. Moreover, the rainfall some time ago has seriously affected our food production."
Chairman Mao sighed and said, "The little devils are coming, and so are the natural disasters. Okay, they are here. We Red Party members are not afraid of anything. What should we do?"
Liu Jingfan said, "Can we buy some food from the White Area? After all, this is the period of the Anti-Japanese United Front."
Chairman Mao looked back at Jiang Cheng in embarrassment. Most of the gold in the red zone was given to Jiang Cheng to buy things in future generations. The precious metals stored now are the reserves necessary for the issuance of currency and cannot be easily touched anymore.
Chairman Mao waved his hand and said, "Do you have any other ideas?"
Lin Boqu said, "We must control food from now on, but the people usually save what they can, and if they want to save, they won't be able to save much."
At the meeting, everyone discussed for a long time, but there was no good solution. After all, if there is nothing, there is nothing. If you want to change it, you can't change it.
After the meeting, Jiang Cheng and Chairman Mao went to Chairman Mao's cave together. They saw Sister He also inside.
Jiang Cheng said hello quickly, Sister He nodded and said to Chairman Mao, "Chairman, I am going to Xi'an for treatment."
Jiang Cheng looked at Chairman Mao and said, "Chairman, why don't I go out first?"
Chairman Mao was extremely anxious about the drought. He didn't want Jiang Cheng to go out and directly said to Sister He, "Zizhen, what's wrong with your health? Why do you suddenly need to be treated in Xi'an?"
Sister He looked at the floor and said, "I'm going to take out the shrapnel from my body. Chairman, I've thought about it seriously. My body has a great impact on my work. After taking out the shrapnel, I can work better."
Jiang Cheng immediately understood that this was the key point in the relationship between Chairman Mao and Sister He. Once Sister He left Yan'an and never came back, the person behind would definitely take advantage of it.
Jiang Cheng immediately said, "We can also perform this operation now. Sister He, please don't leave. We have many experts here this time, including medical experts. Now our medical level is among the best in the country."
"
Sister He hesitated for a moment, and Chairman Mao also said, "Guiyuan (He's nickname), 203 is right, just be obedient, okay? 203 and I have something very important to say. You go out first, I will come back later."
Looking for you."
Sister He nodded and went out.
Jiang Cheng continued, "Chairman, I have some ideas about the food issue. Although the border area has no money, I have a lot of silver and foreign exchange. I can buy a lot of food to the border area. Especially the food in the United States is simply surplus.
, and the food is not too sensitive, it is still easy to buy. But transportation may be more troublesome. After all, foreigners' skins can only go to the Yellow River, and we have to walk the road after the Yellow River. Domestic food can also be transported from
Buy in wealthier places like Wuhan.”
Chairman Mao clapped his hands and applauded, "That's why I asked you to come, so that we can solve our temporary emergency. However, this is still a temporary solution, not the root cause. Continuing to increase investment in rural work and infrastructure construction will cure the root cause. Xiao Jiang, you
Tell me what future generations will do in this regard."
Jiang Cheng said embarrassedly, "I haven't spent much time in the countryside, but it's nothing more than diligent water conservancy work and intensive cultivation of high-quality seeds."
Chairman Mao stood up and sighed, "These eight words are simple to say, but not easy to do. Some of the experts who came this time are agricultural experts. I want them to organize research on the issue of improved seeds. Xiao Jiang, you will start from future generations."
Bring some books on this subject to save us from making further detours."
Jiang Cheng nodded, and the two chatted until late at night.
