Chapter 111 Don't let them run away

"Food! Now from Jinan to Qingzhou, the population is estimated to be 20 to 3 million, but the grain reserves are not enough to support the harvest of summer grain next year! Even if you have tens of millions of gold and silver, you will not be able to buy food once the Japanese blockades!" Zhou Bai said sadly. When he roughly counted Meng Xiang's inventory, he realized the crisis of more people and less food. This is not an unbalanced crisis, but a real insufficient total amount.

Meng Xiang, who came from later generations, had no experience of being hungry. When he came to this time and space, he had always supplemented the base nutritional meals and nutrient solution, and he did not realize the problem of famine before summer grain. People who have not experienced hunger could not understand the horror of the food crisis.

"How many months can it be used?" Meng Xiang's experience at this time was like this.

"In February, people will starve frequently; after March, a large number of people will die, and almost all the food will be exhausted. It will definitely not support the summer grain harvest in May."

"A large number of dead people? Starve to death?" Meng Xiang was frightened. He only heard the older generation telling about starving people. He had seen people who starve to death in later generations in overnutrition.

Tang Yaoshi also looked awe-in. The Pioneer Army took over the territory for too short, and there was no time to integrate resources. With the rapid rise of the Pioneer Army, the large number of fugitives crowded in from all over the country had exceeded the previous estimates, and it also brought a greater crisis to this already very tense food problem. A few days ago, the soldiers who went to Weixian to rush to transport supplies had arranged for the first place, but the time was too short, and the rapid advance of the Fifth Division disrupted everyone's arrangements. He was also a little uneasy, but he didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

"Weixian has a lot of food!" he said in a deep voice.

"The Guoqi Detachment, the vanguard of the Fifth Division, has entered Weixian!" Fan Zhong interrupted.

"The south! There is sufficient food there. The plan needs to be adjusted. The Japanese invaders outside Jinan City will be blocked for a few more days and transported food from the south. By the way, we should also teach the Japanese invaders a lesson, making him afraid of the large number of casualties in Jinan City." Tang Pharmacist said directly.

Meng Xiang was constantly calculating the time. Once the battle in Xuzhou started, the food would inevitably be tight again. After a few months, there was no need to wait until the advantage was taken later. I was afraid that the vanguard army would be in chaos.

He directly ordered: "The Third Regiment suspended the mobilization, prepared to counterattack the Western Front, and consolidate the railway station defense line! Telegraph Li Ting immediately organized people to buy local food." Then he ordered, "Telephone, let him contact American business companies and transport grain from Southeast Asia." As soon as the war began, the food was tight, and the total amount of domestic food was naturally insufficient. Importing from abroad was costly, but importing one ton of grain would result in one ton of grain in China.

As long as the food price is not impacted, importing food is still cost-effective. Although there is less circulation and circulation consumption in China, these can be ignored compared to human lives.

"Attack westward!" As soon as Kantoki arrived in Weixian, he learned that the vanguard army had already set up defense lines in the hilly areas to the west, so he directly ordered. He had heard about the vanguard army's power, but the Fifth Division was an elite division among the Japanese army. Banhenghou Shiro was one of the instigators of the 918th. What he annihilated in the Pingxingguan victory was more than a thousand people in a regiment of the Fifth Division, but it also caused great casualties to the Eighth Route Army at that time. His abilities were recognized by the Japanese.

The Guoqi Detachment had just been included in the Fifth Division. He advanced all the way in central China and was transferred to Qingdao to successfully land first. This made Guoqi Detachment not believe how powerful the Chinese army would be. It was just the incompetence of Isotani Ryosuke. His advancement speed in the past few days surprised everyone, and speed became his magic weapon for victory. Chen Honglie was caught off guard, retreated again and again, and retreated directly from Weixian to the south. If there was not a vanguard army in the west, I was afraid he would advance all the way to Nanjing. He looked at the west with contempt and sneered, and directly ordered the troops that were about to rest to continue moving forward.

"The Japanese are really here!" Huang Huamin smiled. Fan Zhong had guessed that the Japanese would definitely attack directly. He was now ready. Since the Japanese crossed the Yellow River from the Yellow River Railway Bridge, the pressure on him and Hu Minghe has been reduced a lot. The cannon group there was enough to make the Japanese retreat.

When the Fifth Division on the Eastern Front landed and advanced, he was immediately transferred to the Eastern Front to participate in the defense. When he arrived at the Eastern Front, he was immediately shocked. At some point, fortifications were built on many hills. The barrels that were diagonally piercing the sky made him feel awe of Longteng. "With so many artillery so quickly, how strong are they?" No one answered his question.

After passing Weixian, the railway was also blocked. Along the way, people from all over the country began to dismantle the rails early, but the Guoqi Detachment advanced quickly, which made many places not have time to dismantle and transport, and he took the lead. But to the west of Weixian, the railways were completely dismantled. The Pioneer Army only needed time.

"Continue to move forward!" Guoqian ordered with a straight face.

"Pay attention to the disguise on both sides and let the Japanese in first!" Seeing the Japanese vanguard attack directly, you know that their successive victory made them arrogant. They have also experienced many blocking battles, but the Japanese have never suffered a great loss. This has made them look a little contempt for such mountain ambush.

However, his basic tactical qualities still allowed Kunizaki to send people to investigate the surrounding situation in advance.

"What's the situation?" The sudden front was Yamada Tejiro of the 41st Regiment. Qingdao was already occupied by the elderly in the later Fifth Division. What he needed was new honors.

"No abnormality!" Yuka Iijima replied directly, but after hesitating for a while, he added: "There are many wolves on the surrounding mountains, and we can't get through some places."

"There are so many wolves? Can the Chinese be with the wolf? Haha!" Yamada Tetsujiro smiled, "If you have time in the future, I will come and peel a wolf skin and send it back to Tokyo!" What he didn't know was that the dogs' fur was not so easy to peel. Out of disguise, dozens of cloned wolf dogs successfully played the role of a wolf, scaring away the Japanese scouts.

He raised his telescope and looked around carefully, but unfortunately he only saw the gray and yellow and white snow of the earth and rocks.

"Tonga's brigade should go too!" Out of caution, he still let some people go first and gain a foothold.

"It's a pity that there is too little stuff!" Huang Huamin followed the vanguard army to fight, and the record of a brigade seemed to be a little less. "Three regiments are ambushing, so they have to fight a gang!"

After thinking about it, Huang Huamin ordered: "Order the 1st Battalion of the Eighth Regiment in front to block it first! Don't use all your strength, and don't move the artillery!" After he said that, he looked at Niu San and Huang Huamin who was accompanying him because of his outstanding performance some time ago, he was temporarily pushed to the position of the brigade commander of the Third Brigade on the East Road. The temporary deputy brigade commander was Niu San, the commander of the Eighth Regiment. Niu San nodded in agreement.

"Da da da da da!" A sound of war horns came, and the machine guns of the first battalion on the hill to the west began to speak first. They were caught off guard, and the Toyota Brigade was swept down by the dense rain of bullets. They all lay down one after another, looking for a hidden place.

"There is an ambush ahead!" Yamada Tetsujiro was shocked. He listened to it and felt relieved that there was at least one group of blocking the attack in front.

"Yeah, give it to me! Everyone moves forward!" Yamada Tetsujiro pointed forward and added, "Don't let them run away!" The troops we encountered along the way retreated early, which made him depressed, and the group ahead was a plate of appetizers.

"Make dumplings! Don't let them run away!" Huang Huamin couldn't help but shouted excitedly when he saw that the Japanese vanguard's vanguard had already entered the ambush circle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Japanese's dense charge in the narrow mountain road was immediately interrupted by the muzzle of the black hole exposed on the mountain.

With April Fool's Day-style realistic humor, the collective collision between the 41st Wing and the 41st Division began with the roar of cannons on the hill.
