Chapter 1813 What's going on?
"There are no need to worry about these things for the time being. The Japanese in front of you are the most important thing!
Grandma, two independent infantry brigades, this Japanese really respects me, Li Jian!"
The two Japanese infantry brigades added together have 3,000 people. Have these Japanese transferred the Guandong Army? Otherwise, how could they have so many troops?
Fortunately, they have enough foundation, so there is no problem in holding the Japanese back. When their troops are freed up, these Japanese will have to retreat even if they don’t retreat, unless they want to be encircled and annihilated by our Eighth Route Army!
"We have been going to the countryside to collect grain these days. For example, the landlords also gave some money to book most of their food!
These unscrupulous landlords also knew that the Japanese could not pay much for the food they collected from them, so they simply sold it to us at a relatively reasonable price.
In this way, we have collected 70% of the food in winter.
We are ready to pull a little out of all directions for the remaining 30% of the time, so that we can spend this winter without any problem.”
Li Jian doesn’t care about how much money you spend. Money is dead. Only the money spent is called money. What’s more important is that he has to see food.
He was relieved to hear Uncle Lao Gen say this. After all, their farm is just raising pigs and growing vegetables, and it is not an easy thing to grow so much food.
"In this way, our preparations are sufficient. We don't need to worry about the war in the second half of the year that will make the soldiers hungry!"
There are tens of thousands of people nearby that need to support him. If he is really at the critical moment, he will not be able to buy food even if he has money.
"By the way, I'm in the telegram, have you caught the locusts?"
This matter is a relatively important matter. Henan often has drought, so there are many locusts near southern Shanxi, and there will also be large-scale locust plagues in Guanzhong.
Therefore, it is not too easy to catch locusts, and they can be caught anytime and anywhere, especially in the dry season, locusts like the most is the situation where they are not thorough!
Uncle Lao Gen didn't understand what was going on at first, but he nodded and replied:
"Captain, please let us catch more in the telegram. We have indeed caught a lot of them. There are still many soldiers who are still arresting them!"
"What does it mean to catch more? I'm asking you to catch as much as you can. These things can be used as food at critical moments, so you can't be wasted [31 Novel Network �
When he came back, he saw some soldiers cooking locusts with this big pot, and some soldiers grinding powder with milling discs. Although their faces looked reluctant, that was because Li Jian did not tell them the specific reason.
"Captain, don't you really want to eat locusts? Can that thing really be eaten?"
Xu Ming was also a little surprised. He really didn't dare to eat that thing, but Li Jian said that locusts are very nourishing, but I just don't know how it tastes like when I eat it.
"I don't want to explain this issue, but in winter, I will make it for you to eat.
This thing is rich in protein and is very good for the warriors, so there is no need to worry about poisoning if you eat it!"
Protein powder is simply necessary for the human body, and after he comes back, he doesn’t need to eat the flour steamed buns with particularly large particles.
Another day, Sun Dadao made a special rice mill machine, scraping the flour very finely, so that it would not always burn the throat when it tasted.
"The locusts can indeed be eaten. I have eaten them before, but I don't know that this thing can be ground into powder and stored as food."
Uncle Lao Gen was also a little strange. People who have suffered this way, but they just don’t understand the principle.
Li Jian shouted immediately as soon as he heard this,
"Now I will send leaflets to the people immediately, saying that the Eighth Route Army will collect locusts, and you can collect as much as you want. As for the price, you can decide it yourself!"
When ordinary people hear that locusts can still be sold for money, their mood is probably no different from pies falling from the sky.
Uncle Lao Gen's mouth twitched, and he couldn't figure out why Li Jian did this. It was not until later that he realized that at critical moments, the commander's advanced ideas were always to help his life!
Uncle Lao Gen wanted to leave here, but Xu Ming's expression looked very unnatural because there was one thing he didn't have time to say.
When Li Jian saw that the two of them looked so strange, he immediately knocked on the table and asked:
"What's wrong with you? Your face looks so strange. Could it be that something is wrong?"
"Secretary... Commander, there is one thing that I say, don't be too excited!"
"What's the matter?"
Listening to Uncle Lao Gen's tone, Li Jian always felt something had happened. This depressing atmosphere made her feel very uncomfortable.
I just saw Uncle Lao Gen sitting down, then rub his palms, and said hesitantly:
"Just just now, the political commissar seemed to be missing!"
"What?"
After brushing it, Li Jian stood up.
The eyes were full of shock, and obviously they didn't believe it.
"Why did this very living person disappear?
Could it be that the Japanese sneaked into the fortress? Where are the people from Class 10? And there is a spy camp?"
Li Jian looked particularly excited. Xu Ming and Uncle Lao Gen came over, gently pressed his shoulder, and then continued to explain:
"Commander, don't be excited. Actually, this is the case. Hu Zi was talking to the political commissar, but when he heard that you were coming back, the man was suddenly discharged from the hospital!
I had asked the guard company to search just now, and I believe it will be found soon!
But it shouldn't be the Japanese, because everyone who saw it said that the political commissar was preparing to leave himself."
Li Jian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not the Japanese special forces or agents who came to arrest people, it meant that Zhao Yiyi left by herself.
But another question arises, why does Zhao Yiyi want to leave?
"Uncle Lao Gen, why did Huier suddenly want to leave? And she was about to run away when she heard that I was coming back. Did you not tell me anything?"
Having asked this, a hint of hesitation flashed across Uncle Lao Gen's face. It was really hard to say recently.
After all, this is something that Zhao Yiyi doesn’t want to tell Li Jian. God knows whether Zhao Yiyi will feel inferior after the two of them get married!
"Uncle Lao Gen, what happened?"
Xu Ming knew a little about this, but he thought it would be better to have Uncle Lao Gen explain it, and he was not suitable to talk about it.
After all, Qin Hong has given birth to a child now. If she says something again, it would embarrass the captain!
Uncle Lao Gen explained slowly after a last ruthlessness:
"This has to start with the last time the political commissar returned from Peking!
She did not encounter any danger at that time, but because the agents in that place in Peking had noticed her, her superiors asked her to return to the base area to rest for a while, but on the way back to the base area, some problems arose..."
