"What! There is not enough food!"

When Li Jian heard Uncle Lao Gen say this, he thought this was a big deal! He had five or six hundred people now, and the food consumption must be huge.

With their existing financial resources, they should not last long, so they must now reserve some food, otherwise when winter comes, these five or six hundred people will have to drink the northwest wind!

"Then how long can our current food last?"

Li Jian asked Uncle Lao Gen again, and Uncle Lao Gen immediately replied:

"Ten days at most!"

"It's only ten days!"

Tieniu and the others on the side also felt the seriousness of the matter. If there is no grain reserve in the warehouse, it is likely to lead to unstable morale in the military!

Most of them were recruits, and some of them came!

If all these people left then, it would be troublesome. After all, these soldiers did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Independent Battalion!

"Uncle Lao Gen, can we go to the people's homes to buy some food!"

"No, we have bought a lot of them from the people, and the autumn grain has not started to be harvested yet, and the people don't have much food in their hands!"

Uncle Lao Gen immediately denied Li Jian's idea. They must survive until the autumn grain is over, but the autumn grain is over. At that time, the people in the independent camp will starve to death!

"Then how about we go to the county town to grab the Japanese's food?"

Li Jian immediately thought of another solution, but Uncle Lao Gen still denied his idea.

"Not even possible. The Japanese had just fought a big battle with us. News came from the underground party in the county that they are now on high alert and don't have much food. The latest Japanese transport team was a few days ago. It was a transportation squadron, and I didn't dare to fight!"

Uncle Lao Gen said that the Japanese transport team had just passed by a few days ago, and Li Jian felt so regretful! He would have come back early if he had known it!

"Is there any Japanese stronghold nearby?"

Li Jian’s last thought, Uncle Gen did not immediately express his objection.

"There is this, but we don't dare to fight at all. But now we can fight after you come back, but the food in those strongholds is not enough!"

Uncle Lao Gen also said that these strongholds can be fought, but the food may not be enough. Li Jian now understands that leading troops to fight is really not an easy task!

"Go through this time first, take one step at a time!"

"That's all!"

Uncle Lao Gen nodded after hearing this. There is no better way now!

In the next few days, Li first studied the defense situation of the Japanese stronghold. There were five strongholds near Wangzhuang, Li Jianzhun was preparing to unplug it all overnight!

Anyway, after several major wars, the special forces are growing very fast. They are divided into two or three batches and should be able to resolve the battle soon!

Even these strongholds are not too big. The most are only more than 30 Japanese devils, and the least are even more than ten Japanese devils!

Fortunately, the Independent Battalion now has nothing to lack, and it has ammunition and is only lacking time to train new recruits. That's why I need food! Otherwise, I can't even eat enough, so how can I train?

After a few days of research, one night, Li Jian took the special forces team and this time the special forces team was divided into three groups, Li Jian, Tie Niu, and Dagen. The three of them brought one each.

Li Jian first arrived at the place closest to them. It was not a stronghold at all, but a checkpoint. I really don’t know what the Japanese thought. I just suffered a big loss, but now I dare to set up a checkpoint at a place so close to Li Jian. I’m so tired of it!

In fact, the Japanese didn't know that Li Jian's independent battalion was so powerful. Although the checkpoints were attacked several times, they believed that the Eighth Route Army was being suppressed and it was impossible for them to come and attack sneak attacks, so they set up a few!

But the Japanese were destined to suffer losses. After Li Jian and his friends quietly approached the checkpoint, they quickly killed the Japanese sentinels.

Then they killed several other Japanese devils one by one. When the remaining Japanese devils reacted, Li Jian had already arrived in front of them, and the special forces members were all solved!

But Li Jian really didn't expect that the Japanese would dare to use the puppet army under such circumstances. The puppet army would be useless! It would be great if they didn't help the battlefield!

Even though Li Jian and the others were so upset, these two Japanese devils were sleeping so hard! Li Jian really had nothing to say!

"Everyone has gotten up, the Eighth Route Army is here!"

Li Jian shouted, and when these puppet troops heard that the Eighth Route Army had arrived, they immediately panicked and looked for guns everywhere, but they could not find them!

"Stop looking for it, your gun is here!"

Only a voice sounded, the puppet soldiers raised their heads and found several people standing and watching them!

And at this time, a puppet army was lying on the ground looking for a gun, and found something hitting his head. When he looked up, he found that an eighth leader was pointing at him with a gun. He just hit the gun!

Looking at the dark and murderous muzzle, the puppet army was relieved. If the Eighth Route Grandpa had just moved his fingers, he would have finished playing!

Li Jian was now facing them with a crooked hand! At this time, these puppet troops began to beg for mercy, but a few puppet troops didn't say anything.

When Li Jian saw these puppet soldiers, he felt very familiar, and then asked:

"Do you guys know me?"

"Yes, we saw you last time, you let us go! The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially, especially you, don't like shooting at us Chinese!"

A puppet army said timidly.

Li Jian suddenly smiled at this time, and the puppet soldiers actually found out their own character!

"Oh, you know me quite well!" Li Jian put down his crooked hand and said with a smile, but then he continued:

"Since you know me, why are you still here to be a puppet army? Is it better to work hard for the Japanese?"

Speaking of this, Li Jian's face was a little serious, and the puppet soldiers also said in a little scared manner:

"Sir, there's nothing we can do! We have to support our family! Many people in the family are here, and the brothers don't want to work hard for the Japanese. The villagers are poking our backbone behind us!"

After hearing his words, Li Jian immediately understood, and then he said a little coldly:

"Don't let me see you harming the people! If I see you, I will definitely peel you off!"

These puppet soldiers quickly nodded and agreed! Li Jian then rushed to another larger checkpoint!

As for the seized things, there is usually a carriage specially used to transport materials at the Japanese checkpoints, and Li Jian accepted it without hesitation!

In this way, Li Jian and his more than 20 special forces team members pulled out six or seven checkpoints of the Japanese overnight!

More than 100 guns and ammunition were seized, and the most important thing was to get some food, which can be eaten for at least one month!

This also provides them with some logistics conditions for entering Dagu Town!
