The commander agreed with Li Jian’s idea, but he could not be assigned personnel. They only had one guard battalion by their side.

The Third Young Master also carefully examined this guard battalion. His mother is not as good as a reconnaissance company. This is also called the guard battalion. I guess he will run away if he encounters a Japanese squad.

The Third Young Master left with his people, spent about one night, and returned with a full load. He brought back more than 20 puppet army prisoners. I don’t know what he said, but the group of prisoners did not escape and followed the Third Young Master willingly.

The political commissar just came back that day and saw a group of puppet troops carrying things, especially some prisoners carrying guns on their backs. They thought the puppet troops had come, so they immediately ordered the soldiers from the guard battalion to prepare for the fight.

But when he saw a carriage slowly appearing at a corner of a slope, a person shakingly sitting on it. The political commissar held his glasses and found that the person sitting in front of the carriage was Li Jian!

"Oh my god, why did this kid get into the mix with the puppet army? And he came over with a swagger!"

The political commissar was particularly confused, but no one gave him an answer for the time being. At that time, the battalion commander of the guard battalion said:

"Political Commissar, this young master Li San said last night that he would go outside to do something, probably because of this.

You don’t know that we are almost out of reach these days, and we can’t even taste the pickles, let alone this rich young master!

I have been asking for salt as food all day long. What our army lacks in salt recently is almost broken. I guess he is going out to find salt."

The battalion commander of this guard battalion was quite smart, otherwise he would not have been allowed to come to the military headquarters to guard it. It would be impossible for him to have no smarter person next to the command center.

The political commissar was right when he thought about it. This second-hand young master had a very strong appetite. Not only did he have to eat enough, but he also had to eat well. It would be nice to have enough food these days, but this kid still asked so much, so it's no wonder he always went to trouble the Japanese.

It’s the same if it’s changed. In the past, I used to drink wine at home, so I didn’t have to worry about eating, drinking, defecation and urination. I also came to a bitter place like the New Fourth Army for a while, and it was normal for me to complain if I couldn’t eat well.

"Did the commander agree to him?"

"Agree!"

The battalion commander of the guard battalion knew everything, otherwise he would not have let Li Jian go out. They are now temporarily under the New Fourth Army system. Every action must be ordered by the above and cannot act privately.

At this time, the third young master was holding a dog-tail grass in his mouth, and a worn-out horse whip from Xiao Liyang to whip the pony from time to time, and then swayed into the entrance of the village.

There were several carriages behind them, and even the political commissar saw two Japanese prisoners. Although Japanese prisoners are not a strange thing now, they did not capture much.

"Oh, political commissar, you are back! What have you been doing these days? You can't just go to eat alone without hiding it!"

The political commissar rolled his eyes immediately. Only this guy who had no hair on his lips dared to talk to him like this. The other soldiers respected him very much. He would not talk to him like this.

He thought that Li Jian should have a few stitches on his mouth, otherwise he would be beaten with his mouth wide all day long!

It is one thing to look down on Young Master Li San’s quality, and the supplies of that car are another thing.

The political commissar strode forward, touched the bags with his hand, and found some white crystals exposed, put them on his tongue and licked them. He looked at Li Jian with some surprise and asked:

"Salt?"

"That's right? Your cooking team is too stingy these days. It's fine if you can't bear to eat chicken, duck, fish and meat. The key is that even the master is reluctant to let go. I'm almost fading out of my mouth. Do you think I should go out to find something to eat by myself?

On this hot day, the Japanese actually secretly piled up the stolen salt and other things in a stronghold.

I want to use this to cause some blow to us. You didn’t see it. There was not much food inside. There were several trucks of salt. Look, I’ve brought it back!

These are probably enough for us to eat for a year, but I guess the commander will be divided into some. After all, so many regiments below have encountered some difficulties, more or less."

Originally, Li Jian thought there was nothing in this stronghold, at most it had a little salt or something, but what he didn't expect was that these Japanese devils were inhumane and actually massacred the common people's plowing ox!

Anyone with a little common sense knows that in an era of low labor productivity, this cattle can be regarded as the most valuable thing in the people's homes, and they are all used for farming. Killing cattle is definitely something that a wealthy family does.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, killing plowing oxen was illegal. For example, in novels, it was pure nonsense to drink ten kilograms of beef and a few bowls of wine.

Li Jian watched the Japanese slaughter at least five oxen plowing people, and of course some sheep, and these Japanese slaughtered them.

"Then all your supplies will be taken to the kitchen team. Recently, our food shortage has been alleviated, but in November, we will have another food crisis!"

At this time, the grain output was no more than in later generations. Rice had to be mixed with some other things, and most people even ate porridge and wild vegetables!

There is no such thing as excess food, otherwise so many people would not have starved to death every year. Moreover, it is a war era, so the food shortage will be even more serious.

"That's your own business. I have helped you so much, and I have collected a lot of this food. People think of it. If it really doesn't work, you can grab it!

The nearby Japanese were some food, and their transport team would pass by our territory from time to time, just in time to rob.

Also, Fei'er's aid to the New Fourth Army, he donated so many oceans every year, and I feel that I haven't even made a splash of water."

This is not Li Jian is telling a joke. Li Feier donated a lot of money, and it can be said that most of it was in the hands of the New Fourth Army, but it still could not support the consumption of an army.

You should know that the New Fourth Army now has nine divisions, more than 100,000 people, and hundreds of thousands of oceans are worth it. It is probably a bit panicked if you add zeros to the back!

"We also have our difficulties. The combat effectiveness of Xiamen's troops is uneven and their weapons and equipment are lacking. We can't let us use this big blade to fight the Japanese!"

To put it bluntly, the number of people has been raised because the troops are developing too fast, but the quality is not good, which is far inferior to the Japanese.

No wonder the New Fourth Army has never been able to improve its combat effectiveness. It has no guns, no cannons, and no food. How can this battle be fought well?

"I'll help you think of a solution another day. Since you are back, we'll have a good talk."
