Chapter 169
Three days ago, Liu Chang issued a document in the name of the Longkou Anti-Japanese Democratic Government, asking all gentry and local tyrants to provide some farm tools and oxen to help the poor farmers in their towns complete spring plowing. Most of the local gentry and local tyrants had already agreed, but yesterday, all these local gentry and local tyrants changed their attitudes, so Liu Chang had to doubt that this was Hu Renjie's fault.
This time, Liu Chang convened a meeting of the chairman and women's directors of the farmers' associations in various townships to solve this problem.
The meeting was halfway through, and Liu Changzheng was in a hurry to speak, and Liu Dagu broke open the door and broke in.
When he heard that Xu Shijiu was looking for him, Liu Chang had to interrupt the meeting and briefly assigned tasks to the chairman of the peasant associations and women's directors of the townships. He left the compound where the county government was located and went straight to the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.
As soon as he arrived at the commander's office, Liu Chang saw Hu Renjie coming hurried from the other side of the gate.
"County Magistrate Liu?"
"County Magistrate Hu?"
When they saw each other, Liu Chang and Hu Renjie were both a little surprised, but the two major county magistrates were both smart people. They soon realized that Xu Shijiu was looking for them. They walked out of the gate almost at the same time, and then held their feet at the same time. Then they said to each other in unison: "Please ask for County Magistrate Liu (Hu).
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed silently.
After seeing this scene, those who don’t know will definitely think that the two are their closest friends.
The two refused, but finally walked into the door at the same time and entered Xu Shijiu's office at the same time.
Seeing Liu Chang and Hu Renjie walking in with kindness and laughing, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but be surprised. He thought to himself that these two are really worthy of being the county magistrates. In secret, they are afraid that they have hated each other to the core, but they can still be so close on the surface. In this regard, Xu Shijiu asked himself that he was really willing to give up the disadvantage. If Xu Shijiu hated someone, he would never be able to face him with a smile.
"Two major county magistrates, please sit down." Xu Shijiu stood up and shook his hands.
When Liu Chang and Hu Renjie fell down, Xu Shijiu said, "I was worried that you two might not get along with each other, but now it seems that my worries are a bit unnecessary. Haha, but since that's the case, things will be easy to handle. That's right, I now need a batch of military supplies, including 2,000 sets of cotton uniforms, 2,000 pairs of cloth shoes, 500 quilts, and 60,000 kilograms of grain. The two of them are responsible for half of them. It's all done in five days. How about it?"
Liu Chang calculated in his heart and replied: "No problem, one thousand sets of cotton military uniforms, one thousand pairs of cloth shoes, two hundred and fifty quilts plus 30,000 kilograms of grain, will be purchased within five days. However, the money for purchasing these materials..."
"Of course this is provided by the Military Control Commission." Xu Shijiu said.
After saying that, Xu Shijiu asked Hu Renjie again: "County Magistrate Hu, where are you?"
Hu Renjie smiled and stood up and said, "Commander Xu, one thousand sets of cotton uniforms, one thousand pairs of cloth shoes, two hundred and fifty quilts plus 30,000 kilograms of grain, I personally add another five hundred kilograms of bacon, and it will be fully purchased within three days. Moreover, there is no need for the military department to pay a big son. I will find a way to persuade the chamber of commerce and give the money.
"That's great, that's great." Xu Shijiu narrowed his eyes and deliberately turned around and looked at Liu Chang.
Liu Chang gritted his teeth and said with a thorn in his mouth: "Commander Xu, I will also mobilize various townships to donate money to pay the money."
"Is that so much thanks to County Magistrate Liu." Xu Shijiu smiled and thought that these two big county magistrates were 80% active, but this was a good thing for him and the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. No one of them had to go out to raise two thousand sets of cotton uniforms, two thousand pairs of cloth shoes and five hundred quilts. If the two hadn't competed, how could they find such a good thing?

A team of Sichuan troops winds over the mountain road at the junction of Yi County and Longkou County.
It was the chilly spring time that these Sichuan soldiers were all wearing straw sandals and wrapped in single clothes. What was particularly sad is that the single clothes on the soldiers were also torn and dirty, and they were all dirty, so they were completely different from beggars.
As he walked, a 16 or 17-year-old baby soldier sat down on the road with his legs weak.
The leading company commander turned back and stared at him and asked, "Guawazi, what's wrong with you?"
"Company Commander, I can't walk." The baby soldier rubbed his stomach and said with a bitter face, "I haven't eaten anything in two days, I really don't have the strength."
As soon as the baby soldier complained, the other officers and soldiers also complained about the pain. This said, when will our food be sent down? The other said, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Are you hungry? Isn't you hungry? I can't eat more rice than you. I'm also hungry so much that I put my chest on my back?"
The baby soldier said, "Company Commander, didn't Commander-in-Chief Gu say he wanted to give us a batch of rations?"
"You guys know nothing." The company commander said angrily, "Is the food of others so easy to get? Commander-in-Chief Gu said that when we solve the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Longkou County, we will solve 100 kilograms of food and meat for each of our Xinpei. So, you can hold on for me. After the dog-driving Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, you will have food to eat."
An old soldier shouted, "Company Commander, I heard that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is not easy to mess with."
The company commander was unhappy: "The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is not easy to mess with. Is it easy to mess with our Sichuan Army?"
The baby soldier said again: "But the company commander, I really don't have the strength, I really can't walk."
The company commander had no choice but to call a large Sichuan soldier to him and told him, "Gu Niu, carry the thin kid away."
The big Sichuan Army said oh, squatted down honestly, and carried the baby soldier on his back.
Not long after walking forward, a veteran of Sichuan Army turned back from the front and shouted, "Company Commander, there is something wrong."
"Hidden, hide quickly." As soon as he heard that there was something in front of him, the company commander of the Sichuan Army quickly ordered all the officers and soldiers of the company to hide on the spot.
When the veteran of Sichuan Army who had returned from the front ran to the front, the company commander of Sichuan Army asked, "Sao Ji Gong, what's going on in front?"
The veteran of Sichuan Army nicknamed Saoji Gong gasped for a few moments and said, "Company Commander, there are so many national troops coming in front of you. It seems that they should be from the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but there is a situation, which is very strange."
"What's the strange situation? Tell me quickly." The company commander of the Sichuan Army became angry.
The Saojigong continued, "They did not bring weapons, but they brought a lot of supplies."
"I didn't bring any weapons, but I brought a lot of supplies?" The company commander of the Sichuan Army was stunned when he heard this.
Sao Jigong asked: "Company Commander, do you think this is the transportation team of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui?"
"You guys, have eggs on your head?" The company commander of the Sichuan Army slapped the slap on the head of the sauerk, cursing, "At that time, you saw a transport team without weapons? Also, it was the transport team of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. Do they transport supplies here from afar? Could it be that they came over to deliver supplies to us?"
"Take the rope." Sao Ji Gong suddenly realized, "Company Commander, they must have sent us supplies."
"Yes, yes, you're so big." The company commander of the Sichuan Army said angrily, "We used to fight against the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. Now we are enemies with them. Have you ever seen those who deliver supplies to the enemy? Go, you will report to the regiment immediately, and say that we are already in Xiaofangshan, the border between Longkou, in Yi County, and had encountered the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. He asked him to bring the main force to reinforce."

About ten miles away from the vanguard company, a huge Sichuan army was slowly advancing along the mountain road.
This Sichuan Army unit is the main force of Xinpei, the Xinl Regiment, and the regiment commander Tian Guzi is the clan of Xinpei Nagata Zhongyi.
Seeing the commander Tian Zhongyi riding a horse and rushing to come from behind, Tian Guzi quickly brought his adjutant to greet him and said, "Master, are you here to search?"
Tian Zhongyi turned over and dismounted, frowned and asked Tian Guzi: "Guzi, it's almost noon. Why has your group advanced less than ten miles? This is too slow. At this speed, when will it enter the dragon mouth?
