At the command center of the New First Regiment, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang was in a very bad mood.

Time passed day by day, and the losses in the base area were counted bit by bit and sent to him.

Holding a telegram in his hand, hesitated for a long time before walking to Wang Ping: "Captain, our final loss in this anti-sweeping campaign has been counted! The loss is very large, and we can hardly bear it!"

Wang Ping's face was very bad from beginning to end.

He shook his head and replied: "Tell me! No matter what the result is, I can bear it!"

Huang Yuanqiang took a deep breath and replied: "After statistics, there are more than 60,000 houses damaged and burned by the Japanese army. Now, at least 200,000 people are homeless in the entire base area, and basically the people in the whole village are homeless..."

"Apart from the damage to the house, have other finances, especially grains, been stolen or damaged by the Japanese!" Wang Ping interrupted with a calm face.

"This one has, but it's very rare!" Huang Yuanqiang replied.

"After statistics, the Japanese robbed no more than 40,000 kilograms of grain. However, the Japanese air strikes destroyed a lot, including a new battalion's battalion headquarters, with a total of 150,000 kilograms of grain..."

"There are a total of 190,000 kilograms of grain, which is still within our acceptance range!" Wang Pingchangsong replied in one breath.

He is the only one who knows the scale of the drought in front of him, so no one knows the importance of food better than him.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued to ask: "How much food did the people who moved to the hinterland of the base consume us in total, and how much food we have left in our hands!"

"Only 6.5 million kilograms of grain were consumed, but the water conservancy of the maintenance and repair consumed a lot of grain, all of which totaled 14.3 million kilograms of grain!"

"We originally hoarded more than 28 million kilograms of grain, and the army's self-sufficient and self-cultivated land harvested a total of 380 million kilograms of grain, a total of 31.8 million kilograms!"

"From the autumn harvest, 800,000 kilograms have been used, and there would have been 31 million kilograms left. However, the military region asked us that we had borrowed five million kilograms of grain, and there were still 26 million kilograms left! Excluding the more than 14 million kilograms used, we still had less than 12 million kilograms left!"

"In addition, there are a lot of cans seized from the Japanese, forty tons... The regiment commander, you asked me to stay all of them, but I haven't moved!"

"Very good!" Wang Ping's face looked better.

"In this chaotic world, as long as there is food, any problem can be solved!"

Huang Yuanqiang frowned and smiled bitterly: "Captain, food can indeed solve the problem. However, now someone has set his sights on the food in our hands!"

"The common people whose houses were damaged don't know what happened, and they are particularly dissatisfied with our Eighth Route Army! They shouted to let our Eighth Route Army fulfill their promise to have a house they burned by the Japanese, otherwise they would compensate them for food and a per capita compensation of 100 kilograms of food..."

"More than 200,000 ordinary people lose their houses and compensate them according to the per capita standard of 100 kilograms of grain, which will cost more than 20 million kilograms. We don't have that much food to use in our hands!"

"Our troops went back with the people. Because the villages and towns were destroyed, the stations were temporarily built!"

"During this period, a large number of ordinary people gathered next to the station every day, surrounding our troops, and demanded that our New Regiment fulfill its promise and compensate them for their food!"

Wang Ping's eyes quickly shot out two rays of light, and then replied with a murderous look on his face: "Little Japanese, there must be Japanese Japanese doing things here!"

"Where is Director Wei Yong and Wei, he asked him to take people over overnight and arrest all the people who were leading the trouble. Remember to keep it confidential. The exact evidence of these people colluding with the Japanese will be released to the public in the future!"

"All the main forces of the regiment, local garrison troops, and guerrillas, except for the troops that were facing the Japanese and puppet troops on the edge of the base area, all other troops marched to this area to help the people repair damaged houses!"

"The logistics department, bring all the tents we stocked up with you. If you don't have a house, live in a tent. We must ensure that the elderly, weak, women and children will not be frostbite or frozen to death..."

"As for food, it still needs to be compensated. However, compensation cannot be made according to the standards they require!"

"Before the house is repaired, no matter the elderly or weak, every ordinary person will compensate one pound of grain every day. After the house is repaired, the compensation will be stopped."

"We can send more than 10,000 people to repair houses, and with nearly 200,000 local people, as long as nothing unexpected happens, all houses can be repaired in at most one month, so that the people can live in their new homes!"

"Because of the order of sequence, we consume up to five million kilograms of food!"

"In this way, we did not break our original promise!"

In Huangjia Village, less than 30 kilometers away from Linfen City, when the Japanese army retreated, a torch burned all the more than 100 houses in the village into ruins, leaving nothing in it except the earth walls.

Behind a ridge at the east end of the village, more than 500 people from Huangjia Village gathered here.

With the help of the guerrillas, every household built a shack to keep warm, ensuring that people will not freeze to death on cold nights.

Under the cover of night, three middle-aged people were whispering something in a hut on the edge.

Suddenly, six Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed into the shack, and the black wounds were facing their heads.

The three middle-aged people were stunned for a moment, but soon they realized: "Who are you? We are all ordinary people. There are Eighth Route Army troops nearby. You must not act rashly!"

"We are the Eighth Route Army!" An Eighth Route Army with a pistol hanging around her waist flashed into the shack and said.

Hearing the three words "Eighth Route Army", the three middle-aged men became calm and answered very arrogantly: "Then you can't catch us!"

"There are ordinary people everywhere here. Let us be released immediately, otherwise I will call people, and you Eighth Route Army will arrest people indiscriminately!"

"I understand. It must be that your Eighth Route Army did not want to fulfill its promise, compensate us for food, and then came to arrest people. This must be the case!"

The cadre who had just flashed into the tent replied confidently: "Then just call me!"

"By the way, let the people in the village know how you worked for the Japanese and how you betrayed your ancestors. At that time, in the village, not only can you not lift your head in the village, but your family will never lift your head!"

"You're talking nonsense, we didn't work hard for the Japanese!" a middle-aged man shouted with a fierce bullet.

"You know Zhou Futian from Zhou Village! Let me tell you the truth, he is a traitor who was placed in our base by the Japanese. You took Zhou Futian's ocean and did things for Zhou Futian. Do you think you are a traitor?"

The three middle-aged people who were still arrogant just now suddenly panicked and became panicked.

"As long as you follow us and find out a few things, you can leave. Our Eighth Route Army promised not to tell this matter!" The cadre added immediately afterwards.

"I'll go with you!"

The three of them came back only one night. The next day, many ordinary people in Huangjia Village gathered near their shacks and prepared to follow them to the nearby Eighth Route Army base and threatened the Eighth Route Army to compensate them for their food, but the three middle-aged people refused.

"Old Zhang, at that time, you didn't ask us to encircle the Eighth Route Army. Is the Eighth Route Army surely compensate us for food? Why didn't we go again!" asked an older person in the village.
