Most of the supplies that were obtained at a huge cost were deducted. Wang Bao and others, who were full of anger, hurriedly transported more than a dozen boxes of supplies dropped from the air back to the Shijing Village station.

After inventory, the chemical agent was reduced by half, and the seeds of crops were only 20%, while the information on the book was not short, but there were obvious signs of being turned over.

In the headquarters of the station, Wang Bao slapped the table and vented his anger. Chen Jiayao also sent an urgent telegram to Yan'an and the Flying Tigers' Eagle Nest Base inquiring. There was no oil or water in the supplies transported this time, and even if there were deductions along the way, they shouldn't be deducted so much.

"There is news!" Chen Jiayao walked out of the telegram room with a piece of paper, "It was the Party Central Committee that diverted most of the supplies."

"What?! Why is this happening?!" Wang Bao was a little stunned, and he didn't know how to send this anger, "What's going on?" The call from his superiors was too unexpected to Wang Bao and others. He thought that this batch of supplies had been lost or deducted on the road or somewhere, but he did not expect that they were intercepted by his own people.

"When did the Party Central Committee learn to pluck the hairs by geese?!" Li Wei curled his lips, feeling extremely depressed. In order to get this batch of supplies, to prepare for the development of large-scale production at the beginning of next spring, and to support the Party Central Committee and other war zones in Yan'an, he had invested all the money he had saved for so many years. Unexpectedly, the people in Yan'an were honest and unruly, and they took it into their hands.

"Weizi, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Jiayao shook her eyebrows, angrily glanced at Li Wei, and then said: "Because of this year's food shortage and locust plague, in order to reduce the grain burden of local supply to Yan'an, the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division entered Nanniwan and began a large-scale military reclamation operation to develop self-sufficiency production. Eighty percent of the crop seeds in our batch of materials were borrowed by the 359th Brigade. As compensation, the superiors sent a team of more than 50 people to join our team."

The Shadow Company's development plan and the Nanniwan plan of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division happened to hit a car. This batch of supplies happened to be in urgent need of the 359th Brigade. It turned out that it was still a headache to get high-quality seedlings from where to get high-quality seedlings. It just so happened that the Shadow Company's supplies passed through Yan'an. It was strange that the things delivered to the door were honest and unceremonious and unwilling to hold on.

Using the armed forces team as a debt repayment bond to the Shadow Company made Wang Bao and others look very strange. Although the number of veterans with rich combat experience in the Shadow Company still seems relatively thin in front of the Japanese army. Being able to have one more veteran means having a more combat power. Among the large and small teams in each base, veterans who have survived the battlefield have very high combat talent, and they are all hot goods. If an elite armed forces team joins, Wang Bao is naturally the most welcome. However, the debt repayment force team that exchanges people for supplies really makes the young leaders of the Shadow Company feel a little strange.

"Anyway, the food was to support Yan'an after being harvested, so I just thought it was given to it early!" Wang Bao lowered his head heavily, saying that he had accepted his fate, and he didn't even complain at all.

"I have another fifty more mouths! It seems that we are losing money!" Li Wei pinched his fingers and calculated the small abacus.

"Similar to the same feeling! Similar to the same feeling!" Fan Guowen refused to admit his conscience like Li Wei. He was the one who took advantage of the situation without losing.

"Don't lose money and make money. These are nonsense. Everyone belongs to the Eighth Route Army. As the saying goes, the rich water will not flow to outsiders' fields. The remaining ones in our hands are barely enough. The year after that will be more abundant. Just treat it as borrowing eggs to hatch chickens! Next year's autumn harvest, the 359th Brigade will definitely return ten times the borrowed us. Chinese, Wei Zi, don't say such strange words again in the future." Wang Bao raised his head and glared at the two bastards, patted the table and decided to make the matter clear.

"The original grain distribution plan must be readjusted, and it is necessary to ensure that the seeds are planted in fertile soil and fertile fields and cultivated carefully." Chen Jiayao then came up with the sowing plan for the beginning of spring next year. The reduction of materials will inevitably affect the spring plowing plan.

Putting aside the reduction of materials, we can only get back to the topic. Fan Guowen had to return to the original plan. "It can only be like this at the moment! The sowing of these crops is different from other crop planting methods. We must take advantage of the common people's winter time to train new planting methods."

It was already very good to have a full meal in the war era. The people and the army did not care much about whether it was local regional food. As long as it could fill its stomach, it would be possible. Potatoes and sweet corn from abroad have become the most urgent crop varieties needed by Shadow Company. The cultivation methods of these foreign crops are different from sorghum wheat. Fortunately, Fan Guowen grew up on American farms and is not unfamiliar with these crops. This is also the confidence that Shadow Company can safely introduce them to the central Hebei region.

The winter break in rural northern gave the Shadow Company enough time and manpower to expand other industries, and the area of ​​the Shadow Company's military reclamation field is quite considerable. Before the heavy snow covered, the thousands of acres of military reclamation field in the Shadow Company had completed the basic work of fertilizing and soil surrounding the ridges under the cooperation of the military and civilians, and they only waited for the plowing and sowing to start the next year.

Since the Japanese army launched a May Day sweep in North China, all major bases have been invaded by the Japanese and puppet troops. The 129th Division of the Taihang Mountain War Zone and the 115th Division of the Hebei-Shandong War Zone cooperated with local armed forces to launch the Jinan war, harassing the Japanese and puppet troops' cage policy "pillar, lock, chain" strongholds, roads and railways, and continuously launch harassment and sabotage operations behind enemy lines, eliminating the rebellious traitors and traitors, strengthening the construction of the intelligence and information network. With the unity and cooperation of various aspects, major bases finally survived the most difficult period in 1942.

The cold current from Siberia swept across North China, and heavy snow began to float over the central Hebei Plain. When the Japanese and puppet troops, which launched the fifth public security strengthening campaign, finally had no choice but to withdraw from the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese revolutionary base, and ended the last large-scale sweep at the end of 1942.

While the Japanese and puppet troops returned in vain, the Eighth Route Army dispatched many armed forces in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei War Zone, taking advantage of the enemy's retreat and we advance to carry out large-scale political propaganda and sabotage operations, and gradually disintegrated the achievements made by the Japanese and puppet troops since the May Day raid.

Facing the flying goose feathers snow, a capable armed work team dispatched by superiors came to the Shadow Company's garrison to report. After confirming the joint code with the Shadow Company, the armed work team, which was used as a replacement material, was directly incorporated into the third platoon with the same combat function, led by Chen Jiayao, the only women's volleyball leader, and Ma Yucheng, the deputy platoon leader.

The third platoon suddenly became the most crowded platoon in the Shadow Company, mainly responsible for non-frontal struggle tasks such as intelligence, psychological warfare and propaganda warfare. In the cold winter, the weather and battlefields that are not suitable for combat, the third platoon is obviously much larger than the other four platoons. One bullet can kill at most two enemies. However, the words of the third platoon during the attacking battle are often quite terrible and contagious, invisibly disintegrating the enemy's aura. According to the Japanese devils who claim to be China's communication, the soft knife kills people, which is very powerful.

Although the third row had nearly 100 people, it was divided into ten operation teams and scattered to areas near Shijing Village. The political and publicity struggle was not as effective as bullets, but the impact was huge. The enthusiasm of the masses in all villages, both large and small, centered on Shijing Village, to support the anti-Japanese war, has increased a lot compared to before. No one said despicable words like "The anti-Japanese war has been resisted on the kang of the people" during the May Day sweep.

As the Japanese and puppet troops evacuated during the winter, the Hebei-Henan-Lu base area entered a relatively calm period, and the small groups of lurking troops became active again, with wildfires not burning and spring breeze blew again.

After experiencing the third public security strengthening battle at the end of 1941, the 3rd Independent Regiment of the 115th Division, which was almost cancelled, moved to the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong War Zone for nearly a year before it was officially reorganized. In the battle to restrict the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops from jumping out of the original first district base, the third regiment officially opened the 11th Division of the Jin-Cha-Hebei War Zone, also known as the Pingxi Division.

At the end of 1942, a small world of its own was built, and the personnel were expanded again. The Shadow Company was officially named the 12th District Team, which was officially the 11th District Team. The internal system remained unchanged and was still affiliated with the 11th District Command of the Third Regiment.

The New Year's Day of the Ishii Village garrison was spent in a snoring sound. The Shadow Company of the 12th District Team allowed most soldiers to have a rare day to rest, but everyone made a choice: sleep.

Inheriting from the revolutionary tradition of the old Red Army, being able to eat and sleep, not retreat from war, being surrounded by enemies, always preparing for battle, and being able to have a big lazy sleep is already a great enjoyment.

The heavy snow all over the sky has provided a natural barrier for the 12th District Team, and the snow-whiteness of the vision is reflected. As long as any creature appears, it will become a conspicuous target in the eyes of the alert personnel. Before the Japanese and puppet soldiers learned to step on the snow without trace, it is almost impossible to avoid the crowd's eyeliner during the action.

He reached out and then the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky. The cold and beautiful hexagonal snowflakes melted into a drop of water in the palm of his hand. Li Wei breathed a long sigh of relief. The damn 1942 finally survived, and his life was almost lost. Life in 1943 would be much better. Japan had jumped for less than two years. Thinking of this, Li Wei showed a happy smile on his face.
Chapter completed!
