The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

"In addition to the threat of the Japanese and puppet troops to us, there is also the banditry. We need to send people to find out the situation of the bandits in the nearby area as soon as possible. Know yourself and the enemy and win every battle."

"Leave this to our intelligence department, and make sure to find out all the bandit forces in the surrounding area in the shortest possible time." This task was taken over by the intelligence staff officer Liu Sheng.

The first thousand and 240 chapters of the text open up wasteland and grow grain

As soon as the next day dawned, Zhang Liechen and the others started to act according to the assigned tasks.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming led a company of officers and soldiers to carry dry rations and replenish ammunition, and then turned back to build an outpost camp at the dangerous Heifengkou.

Their main task was to monitor the way into the mountain. Once the Japanese and puppet troops came, they would use the terrain to stop them and at the same time warn the rear, and lead the enemy into the mountain to prevent the Xiaoqingshan camp from being destroyed.

There are early warning outposts on the periphery. Once the Japanese and puppet troops invade, Xiaoqingshan's camp will definitely get news, so Zhang Liechen and the others are not worried about safety in a short time.

It is not an option for tens of thousands of military dependents and civilians to crowd into Xiaoqingshan. After all, if houses are built in a large area, it is easy to be spotted by the scout planes of the little devils.

The result of Zhang Liechen's meeting was to disperse tens of thousands of military members and civilians to more than a dozen villages around Xiaoqingshan, where they were resettled.

For the convenience of management, Zhang Liechen organized these tens of thousands of civilian army and civilians according to the pattern of troops, and set up ten private battalions.

The task of the private battalion commander is to be responsible for the settlement of the people in the camp and the adjustment of various contradictions.

Under the order of Zhang Liechen, the civilians and military members of these ten private camps were evacuated to the surrounding villages to settle down. Only the ninth and twelfth private camps with a small number of more than 4000 people stayed in Xiaoqingshan Heilangzhai.

Although the number of people staying in the two private villages in Xiaoqingshan Heilangzhai is relatively small, the housing is still scarce and not enough.

Under the call of Zhang Liechen, the people of the ninth and tenth private battalions played the hard-working spirit of the Chinese nation, that is, they built houses by themselves.

In just one day, in the forest near Heilangzhai, shacks enough to shelter from the wind and rain were built one after another.

These shacks were built by cutting down some trees temporarily, and covered with some compacted thatch and rain cloth on the top, so don't worry about it even if it rains.

"This will be our camp for a long-term war of resistance in the future. It is not enough to just build shacks. Next, we will build stronger houses to become everyone's new home."

Zhang Liechen was very pleased to see that countless shacks enough to live in were built in just one day of concerted efforts. At least the common people had a place to sleep, instead of sleeping in the open.

"Don't worry, sir, we will organize people to cut trees and build houses to ensure that every commoner lives comfortably, as if it was the same as before."

The private battalion commanders were all highly respected people in the village. After hearing Zhang Liechen's words, they all agreed.

"When building a house, you should also consider comprehensively. The first is to pay attention to the concealment of air defense, and the second is to prevent mountain torrents, landslides and mudslides..."

Zhang Liechen stayed in Huaiyin to be in charge of civil affairs and logistical affairs after Yuan Guangtao, the deputy commander, parachuted into the North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and now he is at his fingertips with these.

"We must do as the commander orders."

Seeing that Zhang Liechen spoke clearly and logically, the gentry in these places also admired Zhang Liechen very much, and did not dare to obey others.

Zhang Liechen inspected these shacks in the forest, and gave corrections and suggestions on the safety, drainage, and sanitation of these shacks.

"Now that we have shacks, we can temporarily live in them. It's just a matter of arranging people to build houses. Now there are more important things that need to be done by you."

"Please command, sir."

"Now the spring plowing is coming to an end. Although we have a little grain in reserve, it won't last long. What I mean is that we need to organize people to quickly plant the grain, otherwise we will be hungry by then."

After hearing Zhang Liechen's words, the battalion commanders and gentry of the private battalion were in trouble.

Most of the places in Xiaoqingshan are lush forests, and there is not even a piece of arable land. How can we grow food?

"Sir, there is not even a piece of land in this place where the birds don't shit. I'm afraid they can't grow food."

They all came from the plains and are used to growing food in the plains. Facing these mountains, they were helpless.

"Who said there is no land? I think the mountains and plains are full of land." Zhang Liechen pointed to the hillside and said, "As long as we spend a little time cleaning up the weeds, stones and trees, and building terraces around them, we can grow food. ?”

"But there is no water for irrigation." Someone raised the question.

"It's simple. We can build some irrigation canals along the hillside to bring the water from the upper reaches of the valley. Now that we have a large number of people, it won't take much time to do these things."

Zhang Liechen's words were like enlightenment, making everyone suddenly realize that this method is feasible.

"We can grow some drought-tolerant crops in places without water." Some people also put forward their own ideas.

"Your idea is very good." Zhang Liechen immediately praised this person verbally.

The so-called three cobblers beat Zhuge Liang, and after everyone's discussion, the plan for opening up wasteland and growing grain was quickly finalized.

The Chinese people have never lacked hard work since ancient times. Now that they are temporarily safe, they naturally have to consider food for the future.

Under the unified plan of Zhang Liechen and the others, except for some people left who continued to cut down trees and build houses, most people started to open up wasteland and grow food in this mountain, trying to plant the food quickly to avoid starvation at that time.

Zhang Liechen is well aware of the principle of self-reliance. If he relies on grabbing food, he is doomed not to last long. If he wants to be self-sufficient, he has to do it himself.

On the third day when Zhang Liechen and the others arrived at Xiaoqingshan, everyone ignored their fatigue, and the vigorous movement of opening up wasteland and growing grain began.

All the hillsides and river valleys where food can be grown, there are people busy everywhere, and the weapon repair shop of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has also been diverted, and a batch of agricultural tools has been temporarily built and distributed, which greatly improves the efficiency of everyone.

In a short period of time, the entire area near Xiaoqingshan was full of excitement, both men and women were fighting together, which changed the appearance of the entire area.

And when Zhang Liechen and the others were busy cultivating wasteland and growing food on Xiaoqingshan, the surrounding bandits also sent people to inquire about the news one after another.

Zhang Liechen and the others entered the mountainous area of ​​southern Lunan and fought a battle with the puppet army that was pursuing them in the mountain. They did not escape the eyes of various bandit villages.

When the news was reported to the heads of the various cottages, the bandits panicked for a while, thinking that the Chinese army had entered the mountains to encircle them, and they were about to run away.

But as time went by, they obtained more news, and they learned more about Zhang Liechen who entered the mountain.

They calmed down when they learned that they were not targeted at them, but were chased into the mountains by devils.

After all, they were local snakes, and Zhang Liechen and the others belonged to the dragons crossing the river. As long as the devils stopped chasing them, they would go out of the mountains sooner or later. The bandits were not too worried.

But as time went by, when they learned that Zhang Liechen and the others had opened up wasteland and planted food in Xiaoqingshan, the bandits couldn't sit still again. What did they want to do?Stay here for a long time?

Text Chapter 250 Tiger Head Village

The bandits originally thought that Zhang Liechen and the others were just being chased into the mountain to escape by the devils, and they would not stay in the mountain.

But judging from what Zhang Liechen and the others did to open up wasteland and grow food, it seems that this is not the case, but that they have a long-term plan to stay in the mountains.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Although Zhang Liechen and his team are only active around Xiaoqingshan, they are numerous and powerful. Who knows if they will attack the surrounding villages after they gain a firm foothold?

Originally, in this mountain, the bandit power in each village was similar, the small villages helped each other, and the big villages did not dare to bully others at will.

Although there are frictions with each other, overall a delicate balance is maintained.

But now that Black Wolf Village has been cleared up by Zhang Liechen and his Subei guerrilla corps, such a large group of Zhang Liechen and his group entered the mountain, immediately breaking the balance.
