Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 181 Chapter 180, Early Spring
The soldiers started to eat, and Li Yuexuan also ate with the captain and the others. However, the captain and the others ate the same food as the soldiers, but Li Yuexuan was given special treatment and ate the same food as the technicians.

Li Yuexuan didn't ask or stop them, he just ate quietly, accepting the love of his comrades and the organization! It's not that he didn't want to eat and live the same as his comrades, but Zhao Danian and Zhu Xingyu said back: "This is arranged by the organization. If there is a problem, you report it to the organization? You said you are a combatant, not a technician? Which combatant would design a gun grenade?"

What can Li Yuexuan say? Eat in peace, work hard, take time to train, train soldiers, and beat the Japanese invaders to death!
Perhaps they heard Li Yuexuan's voice, or perhaps they were scared after being beaten before, the Japanese had been hiding in their stronghold for a while, and had no intention of coming out. In order to prevent being sniped from a distance, the Japanese's artillery tower even added a cover, turning the top floor into the fourth floor, and the Japanese sentries hid on the fourth floor to observe and guard.

As for the Type 92 infantry guns that the Japanese placed on the top of the artillery tower, they were never sent to the stronghold! That's right, the resources of the Japanese are not unlimited, and it is not easy for the independent mixed brigade to get timely weapons replenishment! Therefore, the Japanese did not have the strength to sweep again, which gave the Eighth Route Army time and space to develop.

Time passed little by little in these relatively peaceful days. Even the brigade commander and his men returned from southern Hebei. While the brigade commander and his men were in southern Hebei, the 343rd Brigade crossed the Pinghan Line and went to the Yimeng Mountain area to develop.

Of course, the peace in Taihang Mountain and Ping'an County does not mean that the devils will allow the Eighth Route Army to develop! For example, when the devils in Jizhong Plain found that the 120th Division had developed in Jizhong, they wanted to annihilate them, and then fought several encirclement and annihilation battles in a row, but they never took down the main force of the 120th Division.

The Japanese in Yimeng Mountain naturally didn't want the Eighth Route Army to develop here, so they concentrated their forces to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, but they failed to cause much damage to them.

The Eighth Route Army is best at guerrilla warfare. As long as there is room for maneuver, we can dodge and annihilate the enemy; as long as the devils give up the pursuit, we can return and bite you hard, tear off a piece of meat to eat; as long as the devils return to the city? Hehe, the vast rural areas are our place! Surround the city from the countryside, that's how it's done!

After the Spring Equinox, the sun is already very warm, the highest temperature is above zero, and the willow trees by the river have begun to sprout. At this time, it is time to harvest Longjing tea in the south. Well, Longjing before the Qingming Festival and Longjing before the Rain are good things, but they are very expensive! However, at this time, Longjing tea can only quietly spit out leaves under the iron hoof of the Japanese invaders, and helplessly let the invaders taste it.

Not only Longjing, Lu'an Guapian, and Xinyang Maojian could not escape the Japanese invaders' trampling, but also became delicacies enjoyed by the invaders! Under the iron hoof, blood and tears rolled, resentment filled the world, and blood also drowned the world!

I just wonder if the tea watered with the blood of those who died unjustly will have the taste of blood? And is there a soul of someone who died unjustly hidden in each leaf of tea?
The weather is different every ten miles, not to mention a thousand miles apart! It is already warm in the south, but the Taihang Mountains in the north are still chilly. Of course, the spring breeze in February is like a pair of scissors, and the early spring scenery has already appeared. The mountain flowers are blooming, yellow and bright, and the willow trees are slowly sprouting and quickly turning green.

Many naughty children would twist the delicate willow bark off the branches at this time, turning it into an emerald green leather tube. Then, use a small knife to remove a little bit of the outermost green skin at one end, and it becomes a willow whistle that can be played with all day. There are even more naughty ones who put the willow whistle in the palm of their hands and blow it, and it will make a sound like a baby crying... The joy of children is so simple, and the joy of soldiers is even simpler! After Xiao Fengyun invested in new productivity, the production capacity of the pull fuse was raised at once! Because the weather was warmer, it was easier to dry the black powder, so a large amount of granular black powder was produced and became the main filling explosive of the grenade.

By the end of March, the guerrillas' daily production of grenades had reached 3 per day! Of these, 1000 were made with black powder! Although they were a bit heavy, they could kill the enemy, so no one despised them.

The new recruits recruited before the New Year have already become soldiers after more than a month of training. Except for the 10km cross-country race, which is still very strenuous, their physical fitness has really improved. However, seeing the soldiers' physical fitness getting better and better, everyone believes that by the end of April, they will be able to run 4km easily.

As the old saying goes, nine plus one, the oxen will be everywhere! It was almost time for the oxen to be everywhere, and even the Chinese toon buds on the trees were edible. The people of Yin Jiulang Village could no longer live there! That's right, they have lived in Liangjia Village for more than a month, but what they never forget are the fields at home! After all, that was passed down from their ancestors and was the foundation of their survival!

Early in the morning, Granny Sun found Zhao Danian and called him aside: "Captain Zhao, I shouldn't bother the team, but the spring ploughing season is coming, and the women in the village can't do heavy work. So, can you use the animals in the team?"

Seeing Grandma Sun's expectant eyes, Zhao Danian patted his forehead and said cheerfully, "Looking at the chaos, I almost forgot to say it! Don't worry, we guerrillas will help you plant the farmland in the village! We have six oxen, and we have also raised mules, donkeys and horses for a whole winter. It's time to let them move their strength!"

"Then I'm relieved! Captain Zhao, don't worry. I'm not unreasonable! Since you guys are helping to plant the land in the village, you've put in a lot of effort. So you can take 60% of the harvested food and only leave 40% for our women and children!"

"Don't argue with me. We only have 100 mu of irrigated land. In previous years, we only collected % of the rent. We were already a very good family. Otherwise, the tenants would not have followed us to fight the Japanese devils. Now you work hard to farm and fight the devils to protect us. Giving you % of the harvest is already a blessing from the boss! In addition, the army needs to support soldiers. You can't support good soldiers without enough food!"

After Grandma Sun finished speaking, she turned around and went to the backyard, not giving Zhao Danian a chance to argue. In those days, landlords collected rent not only for grain, but also for money. So in Mr. Zhou Shuren's book, the villagers who collected three or five more buckets of grain thought that they could sell more grain for more money, but they were harvested by grain merchants. And then, they were harvested by the landlords again...
