At the Jinsui Army Headquarters in the World War II Zone, as soon as Commander Yan got up and had no time to have breakfast, the Chief of Staff rushed in with anger!
"Commander, the Eighth Route Army is so arrogant that they dare to rob our rations!"
Commander Yan immediately stood up from his seat, stared at the chief of staff and asked: "Robbing the army's food? When did the Eighth Route Army become bandits? What's going on!"
"Last night, our convoy transporting food supplies to Linfen City encountered a checkpoint set up by the Eighth Route Army. They said that the remnants of the Japanese army were encircling and suppressing the remaining Japanese forces, and they suspected that there were Japanese spies among our transport team, so they stopped the convoy."
"When the convoy was released in the morning, half of the food and supplies transported by the convoy were moved away by the Eighth Route Army during the night!"
"Our people asked the Eighth Route Army for those supplies, but the Eighth Route Army not only refused to return them, but also refused to admit that they had taken our food and supplies! This is simply showing helplessness!"
"Did you send a telegram to the Eighth Route Army to question this matter?"
"Yes!" the chief of staff affirmed.
"After receiving the news, Commander Zhang of Linfen City sent people out of the city to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army, but it was basically useless?"
Chief Yan frowned deeper, stared at the Chief of Staff and asked: "What do you mean by useless? Be specific!"
The chief of staff quickly replied: "The Eighth Route Army replied that their main force would never rob friendly troops of food, which is no different from bandits. Then he assured Commander Zhang that they would definitely find out about this matter as soon as possible and give us an explanation!"
"
"That's it!" Chief Yan asked with disbelief.
"It's over!" the chief of staff replied holding back his anger.
"I really didn't expect that they would be so helpless!"
Commander Yan took a deep breath and ordered: "Tell Commander Zhang to continue sending people to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army!"
"The food supplies were lost in their base area, and they must be held responsible!"
Before noon, the chief of staff returned to Commander Yan's office, his face even uglier than in the morning!
"Commander! The food issue has come to an end! The Eighth Route Army replied: The food was stolen by a group of Japanese and puppet troops hiding in their base. This morning, they sent troops to attack the stronghold and kill them all. However, last night they
All the food they stole from us was burned, and nothing was taken back!"
"According to the report of the captured puppet troops, the Eighth Route Army who set up checkpoints on the road were pretending to be them!"
"The reason why they only took away half of the food and supplies instead of all was because they were afraid of causing dissatisfaction with our transportation team and causing a conflict!"
"Our troops stationed in Fengxing Town reported that there was indeed a burst of gunfire in the mountains less than 20 kilometers away from their station this morning. The Eighth Route Army even used artillery, and finally saw billowing smoke!"
Commander Yan stared with a pair of big eyes, looking very shocked.
After hesitating for a long time, he asked the chief of staff: "Do you believe this reply?"
"I don't believe it!" the chief of staff replied, shaking his head and adding.
"However, the Eighth Route Army did it flawlessly without any loopholes. Even if we want to find a reason to refute, we can't find it, so we can only swallow this loss ourselves!"
"No!" Chief Yan refused without hesitation.
"This time we can't just let it go. The incident happened in their base area, and the food was also lost in their base area. They must be responsible!"
"Let's negotiate with the Eighth Route Army again. The Eighth Route Army must make up for our losses!"
"Southwestern Shanxi will not bring us any food supplies for at least half a year. With so many troops on the front line, our Shanxi-Sui Army's old foundation will be consumed. If we lose dozens of truckloads of food supplies today, we will lose dozens of truckloads tomorrow.
, no matter how much wealth we have, it will be exhausted."
"We must find a way to get rid of the Eighth Route Army's idea of targeting our transportation team to avoid future troubles!"
The chief of staff replied with a serious face: "I will give the order now!"
It only took half an hour for the chief of staff to come back. The anger on his face was gone, but he was very embarrassed.
"Commander, the Eighth Route Army has sent a telegram back!" After hesitating for a long time, the chief of staff reported.
"How do you say that?" Commander Yan was also very anxious and asked immediately.
"The Eighth Route Army replied: "The incident happened on the highway, and now the entire highway is controlled by our Shanxi-Sui Army, so they do not need to be responsible!"
"They also said that in the morning they helped us find the attackers who were responsible for the K-Gong army supply, and then sent out troops to kill them. This would be regarded as their revenge for our Jinsui Army. Due to emotion and reason, we should give them some weapons and ammunition as compensation!"
"One last sentence: "If they can't ensure the safety of the entire highway, they can take over the station on the entire highway and help us guard the highway!"
"Absolutely not!" Chief Yan retorted without thinking.
Then he raised his eyebrows and immediately said: "I understand now. Compared with the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army is more difficult to deal with!"
"This road is our lifeline connecting Linfen. Once it is controlled by the Eighth Route Army, the lifeline of Linfen City is equivalent to being in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. As long as they are willing, they can turn Linfen City into an isolated city at any time, and then give us a trap!
"
"Also, the Eighth Route Army is now repaying the enemy the way they did! Back then we always used the Japanese as a cover to plot against them. Today, they use the Japanese as a cover to plot against us!"
"We call it our own fault!"
"Forget it, let's forget about this matter. If we really continue to pursue it, the entire transportation line may really fall into their hands!"
The chief of staff asked in frustration: "Then what should we do next!"
"Order the logistics department to continue to deliver food supplies to Linfen City! But this time we must be cautious. The transportation team must have enough troops to escort!"
"Also, if we want to avoid future troubles, the most direct way is to completely drive them away from southwestern Shanxi!"
"The troops assigned to Commander Zhang must be in place immediately, and the civil affairs officials must quickly unite and control all villages and towns, so that the Eighth Route Army will lose the soil to survive!"
Battalion Commander Xiao Yunshan was very happy at the Second Battalion of the New First Regiment.
Although he said that the group leader was responsible for the matter, as the executor of the order, it was impossible to say that he was not worried.
What he didn't expect was that such a big matter could be solved so easily by the group leader!
"Battal Commander, the harvest from last night has been calculated!" The instructor rushed in with a relaxed look and reported with a smile.
"Also, the troops who went into the mountains to practice live-fire attacks in the morning have also returned, and they brought back three wild boars, nearly a hundred pheasants and hares, all of which the soldiers shot along the way!"
"Okay, with a few bullets in exchange for so much food supplies, this deal is worth it!" Xiao Yunshan replied excitedly.
"Lao Yang, please first tell me what we gained last night!"
"Yes!" The instructor took out a list and reported: "80,000 jins of grain, all of which are white flour... 20,000 jins of pork, 40,000 jins of radish and vegetables, and 1,000 jins of salt and oil!"
"Haha, I've made a lot of money. These are all good things that even money can't buy!"
"Instructor, please make arrangements. We will keep 40% and send them to the newly formed Second Battalion and the Independent Second Battalion respectively according to the strength of the troops!"
"Take out 40% and send it to Yan Song, and send the remaining 30% to the regiment headquarters!"
"From now on, we will have an extra meal at noon every day. We will have enough steamed buns and stewed meat to give the soldiers a good meal!"
