Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 181 How did you cross the Yellow River?
Different from the past, the North China Front Army's sweep this time is a bit thunderous and rainy.It only lasted for a month before the troops were withdrawn. To be precise, it was forced to end.

Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army was the first to return in defeat. In order to implement Hayao Tada's tactics, they forcibly cooperated with the troops stationed in Mongolia to attack the three bases in three ways.

This group of devils stationed in Jin Province had already suffered two waves of red iron fists, and under the high-intensity battle, their strength dropped even more rapidly.

Facing the general's flanging tactics, the 30th Independent Mixed Brigade and the No.[-] Sixth Division were exhausted, and each brigade suffered heavy losses due to unsuccessful attacks.

Counting the first two stages of the Hundred Regiments War, only three months have passed, Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army has lost a large number of occupied areas, and has been suppressed and unable to move around Taiyuan.

Phnom Penh's belly is covered with silver horn grass, the future of this group of devils will only be bleak.

Taiyuan, in the hospital of the First Army.

At this time, Shinozuka Yoshio was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale as if he had aged ten years overnight.

For any country's senior commander, the 50s are still the golden age.At that time, physical energy and battlefield experience are fully combined, and more achievements can definitely be made.

But he experienced one failure after another, plus the loss of two favorite generals.This old devil has become lifeless and completely lost his will to win.

As the chief of staff of the First Army, Kusuyama Hideyoshi can be said to be the person who cares most about Shinozuka Yoshio's health.It's not because of how good the relationship between the two is in private, it's just for their own official career.

He looked at the unshaven and old commander, and couldn't help comforting him:
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, although we have not completely eradicated the Eighth Route Army's base areas, we have gained a lot. This time, the First Army consumed a lot of the enemy's troops, laying a solid foundation for the next sweep."

"Benefiting from Commander Tada's three-light policy, we have severely damaged the agricultural system in the bandit area and destroyed the enemy's foundation."

"It is said that the mainland has approved our application to release the plague. It won't be long before the Eighth Route Army will lose its source of food. They will definitely be defeated!"

In fact, there is some truth to these words. The future famine had already begun in 1941.There are many reasons for this tragedy, and the devils added fuel to the fire.

Originally in history, that period was the most difficult day for the Eighth Route Army.But now with the Yellow River, it is absolutely impossible for the enemy's plan to be satisfactory.

Shinozuka Yoshio didn't appreciate the words of comfort.He even rolled his eyes at his chief of staff, and then said weakly:
"Mr. Nanshan, are you here to take a shit? Could it be that you have been derailed from reality because you have been in the staff for too long? Why are you looking at things so one-sidedly now?"

"The development of the Eighth Route Army will always be restricted by the industrial system and materials. The land here belongs to the enemy, and the steady stream of manpower allows them to be reborn from the ashes as long as they have a breath."

"The war has been going on for four years, and we're already in the quagmire."

"Do you know what I saw in the city a few days ago? Bicycles! I heard it was made by the Eighth Route Army! I can't imagine how terrible their future will be!"

Because he was so excited, the old devil almost fainted.

Nanshan Hideyoshi lowered his head and did not speak. As the Chief of Staff of the First Army, he had a clear view of the internal situation in Jin Province.

This sweep seems to have worked well, but the Eighth Route Army moved with the common people, and the hearts of the people are still on the other side.

The strength of the First Army was greatly damaged, and the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade existed in name only, and there was no source of troops to replenish in a short period of time.If the headquarters doesn't do anything else, then they will face the test of survival next.

In the next year, the Eighth Route Army will definitely develop steadily. Kusuyama Hideyoshi even thought of the picture of the enemy putting a 155 big pipe on his face.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General! Don't we have a chance to fight back? Just watch the opponent grow stronger like this?"

Shinozuka Yoshio sighed, he had been thinking of a way to break the situation all this time.

The war has been fought until now, and the fight is all about resources and the patience of the nation.The brother country has done its best, and everything that exists has been used to the limit.

Unless the military department can open up a new battlefield and plunder more resources, this kind of thing is not something that a lieutenant general can decide.

Thinking of this, he began to recall what happened this year.

Starting from Sakata Shintetsu's broken jade, the doctor was robbed, Yamamoto Kazuki was ambushed, the Eighth Route Army's raid, and the airport was bombarded, all of these incidents seemed to be related to the Yellow River.

In this way, since 1940, their First Army does not seem to have taken advantage of it.

But at this moment, Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly showed a relieved smile.This old and immortal thing stretched his muscles and bones on the bed, as if he had seen everything.

"These have nothing to do with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kusuyama Hideyoshi suddenly raised his head.Combined with the rumors he heard in the past few days, he showed a nervous expression.

"What do you mean? Are we going back to the mainland?"

It is a very humiliating thing for an aspiring soldier to be sent back to the reserves.Even if there is a chance to make a comeback in the future, he will be looked down upon by his peers.

"Yeah, I won't be the commander of the First Army from next month."

"At that time, I will return to my homeland and take up the post of principal of the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. You can also go with me."

"I know you are an ambitious person. When the time is right, I will arrange for you to return to the frontline troops. As a lieutenant general of my country, even if you don't have real power, you still have connections and influence."

If it was the former Yoshio Shinozuka, he would have struggled a bit as the commander of the First Army, and would have even drawn up some desperate plans for attack.

But the development speed of the Eighth Route Army was really too fast. He thought a lot during the period of cultivating his body, and his own ability could not suppress the enemy at all.

Loyalty to Celestial Locust and his younger brother country does not allow him to have a vegetarian meal by himself.Instead of hanging on, it's better to take advantage of the situation and replace it with a more capable person.

Commander of the First Army, let someone else come.Keep going, maybe something will happen.

"I heard that the superior is going to send Yoshio Iwamatsu to take over. Let's go to greet him and make you familiar. Even in the army, connections are still very important."

"Although the people I'm optimistic about often end in misery. But I hope you can bring my will and expand the territory for my brother country!"

"That's it, let me be quiet, you go."

This aging tone made Kusuyama Hideyoshi a little sad.

He originally thought that his leader had been defeated by the Eighth Route Army, and he planned to leave the combat troops for retirement.

I didn't expect the other party to be so impartial and selfless, not coveting the current rights at all for the future of my brother's country.As Shinozuka Yoshio's new favorite general, he was so ashamed at this moment that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"Hi! I will definitely work hard together with your share!"

"This guy died in a plane crash originally, I'm going to make his death more painful."

----

After more than half a month of hard work, the comrades once again moved the logistics department to a relatively safe hinterland.

Leader Ou learned the lesson from last time, and their guard group expanded the security circle to five kilometers to ensure that there are no dead ends in all directions.Thanks to this is a large regiment of 3000 people, the general base regiment really does not have such sufficient manpower.

Today's logistics department is very lively, and the cold wind in November can't blow away everyone's enthusiasm.After learning that Huang He was going back to the rear, his comrades came to see him off one after another.

The comrades in the cooking class woke up very early, and they started preparing the ingredients at eight o'clock in the morning, just to express their heartfelt thanks.

Originally, Huang He wanted to reject this extravagant and wasteful behavior, but even the brigade commander specially called to ask him to accept everyone's wishes honestly.

The farm has been established for a full year, and now the entire army has achieved meat freedom.This meal can be described as very rich, each table has a roast chicken and a pot of pork stewed cabbage.

After drinking and eating, it's time for everyone to be awesome.

Today, Audio-Technica and Cheng Xiazi finally drank the vodka they had been thinking about. This bottle of wine was left by the Maozi instructor.But they were obviously not used to drinking foreign things, and they were a little dizzy at this time.

Kong Jie stepped on the stool with the help of Jiu Jin. He failed to kill the Devil Major General in the Hundred Regiments Battle. During this time, he was often ridiculed by Ding and Li.

"What is a major general! Have you ever fought tanks? When Niangziguan, I had a head-to-head encounter with the enemy's tanks! The Okazaki brigade was even killed by me!"

"Little days' old shit is really not as good as the last one. Every time it changes its soup without changing its medicine! A 7.7mm broken machine gun can be used as the main gun. Can it fight? It can't fight! It's okay if you don't have that strength!"

"Now I have lost to the 25mm anti-tank gun, and if I lose again, I will lose to the 12.7mm machine gun. Sooner or later, I can paralyze its shells with a kettle!"

Seeing Kong Jie who was obviously drunk, Ding Wei hurriedly pushed him back to his seat.

"If you drink a lot of farts, you will float away. You really don't want to lose face, hahaha."

After relieving the alcohol, Li Datuan supported the table and stood up. He asked a question that everyone, including many readers, wanted to know.

"Old Huang, when you came to Jin Province with those people from the north, how did you cross the Yellow River?"

"I've been thinking about this for a long time but I haven't figured it out. When our Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River eastward, it was really troublesome and strenuous. You can't just fly over just because your name is Yellow River."

Everyone nodded, all showing curious expressions.

Back then, the army had just completed its reorganization and was about to rush to the battlefield immediately.Just the choice of the marching route, the superiors discussed it for a long time, and finally chose Hancheng.

Tens of thousands of horses cross the mighty Yellow River. It is a complex and huge system project to fight against the dangerous natural environment.

Ships, weather, supplies, security, etc., once something goes wrong in one link, the consequences will be disastrous.

At that time, it was still at the turn of summer and autumn, and it rained heavily for several days.As a result, the water level of the Yellow River rose, and the river overflowed the river bank, flooding the road leading to the ferry.

The river beach is full of puddles, mud and mud, and it is very difficult for local skilled boatmen to get on the boat.

If the common people hadn't heard that the Eighth Route Army troops were blocked from crossing the river, they had to tear down the door panels of their homes to pave the way for the troops, the troops might not have been able to keep up with the battle at Pingxingguan.

After solving these problems, the army still has to face a troublesome task, which is to do ideological work for the soldiers.At that time, the officers and soldiers of the preserved fruit would find trouble and deliberately make things difficult.

In just a few days, it is not easy to fight wits and courage with people and God.

Speaking of this, Captain Li became more and more angry as he thought about it.When they crossed the river in a new group, they were often made things difficult by the Jinsui army.

"At that time, we had just reorganized, and the Guoku people didn't let us set up a political commissar. When we crossed the Yellow River east, the political commissar could only bear the title of deputy head of the regiment."

"At that time, my deputy head was Zhong Zhicheng, who used to belong to the First Front Army. After being stopped by the Jinsui Army, Lao Zhong stood at the ferry and said, "We are fighting against Japanese devils, not at your banquet."

"It's hard to say that we won't let us pass, and I almost didn't get mad at me."

Except for Huang He and Zhao Gang, all the people present are old comrades, and they are very familiar with this matter.

Old Zhao judged from his tone that his senior seemed to have a good relationship with Li Yunlong.But he had never heard of this person, so he asked:

"Then what should we do next? What did this comrade think of?"

Originally Li Yunlong wanted to continue talking, but Cheng Xiazi on the side held his old squad leader down and answered directly:

"Old Li and Lao Zhong led the troops to withdraw two miles away, and met our 772 regiment head-on. The new regiment didn't have a number, but we did, so the two regiments directly merged into one, and crossed the Yellow River without any problems. "

After hearing this, everyone laughed out loud.

Everyone knows that Li Yunlong is the most annoying when people mention this type of thing. After all, he is Cheng Shifa's old squad leader, and it is embarrassing to work under the other party.

Huang He is also very interested in such an interesting person.

"Which army has Political Commissar Zhong been transferred to now? It's not because you, Li Yunlong, pushed him away."

Originally, he was just asking casually, but the group leaders were all silent, and Zhang Wanhe broke the deadlock in the end.

"Old Zhong died in the battle of Xiangtangpu. At that time, Xinyi Regiment was ordered to ambush the transport troops of the Devil's 14th Division."

"In the middle of the fight, enemy reinforcements came from Licheng and Dongyang. In order to cover the large army to complete the task smoothly, he led a company of soldiers to stop it, and finally died on the battlefield."

"Regard Commissar Zhong!"

"Respect the old clock!"

In order to break the sad atmosphere, Leader Li brought the topic back.He directly changed seats with Zhang Wanhe, put his arm around Huang He's shoulder and asked:

"Old Huang, tell me quickly. How did you travel to the east? I remember that the transport team had several trucks."

Huang He was suffocated by the smell of alcohol, he pushed the other party away with a little force, and then explained helplessly:
"In 1939, Beifang was the major shareholder of Guofu, and I came with a huge amount of supplies. In this situation, the bald head would not dare to offend others. Sending a few carts of rifles would be a big deal."

"You don't even know how angry Sheng Tiebi was at that time. That look almost ate me up, hahaha."

"But it's useless no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to honestly send me across the river!"
