    In fact, with Li Hui's sufficient supply of raw materials, it is not difficult to build a road, but the problem is that there is really no manpower.

    The Loess Plateau was originally barren, and the combined population of Yan'an and several nearby counties was only 70,000 to 80,000 people. After the central government moved here, the Eighth War Zone, under the instruction of Baldy, mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Yan'an and even northern Shaanxi.  A strict blockade was carried out, not to mention food, not even a catty of salt or a bag of sugar was allowed to flow into Yan'an. If the chairman hadn't called on everyone to do it themselves, have enough food and clothing, with a hoe and a shovel, the desolate Nanniwan would have been abruptly turned into a city.  As a small Jiangnan in northern Shaanxi, the food supply in Yan'an has long since collapsed.

    But no matter how hard-working everyone is, this barren yellow land cannot produce more food, so the number of people stationed in Yan'an has been strictly controlled within 20,000.  There are more than 10,000 people and the main force is the reason why there is only one 359 brigade.

    In order to build Yan'an in an all-round way, the central government called in all soldiers and civilians who could serve as labor forces.  All members of the 359th Brigade were transferred back, and the Yellow River positions and peripheral areas originally defended by them were replaced by second-line troops.  More than half of the strong labor force in Yan'an and several surrounding counties were also transferred.

    However, after such a thorough mobilization, the construction personnel in Yan'an can barely reach 30,000 people. This is only under the condition that Li Hui promised that he will be responsible for providing the food supply for next year.  It is not bad if the people can come to 10,000 people.

    As a result, there was a scene where people were employed everywhere, but there were not enough people everywhere. In this case, the chairman took the lead and led many big shots to join the construction army in person.

    Seeing these big men working with them, those soldiers and civilians were immediately motivated to work harder day and night.

    On the road from Yan'an to Yanchang County, the soldiers of the 359th Brigade and the First Regiment are working hard on the road reconstruction work. They have received the task of leveling and strengthening the entire road to allow four trucks to pass in both directions.  width.

    The soldiers divided the construction in companies and platoons. They first basically leveled the rough and potholed road, and then used stone rollers weighing several hundred kilograms to drive back and forth more than a dozen times to compact the soil.  The gravel made by the crusher will be mixed with sand and sprinkled on the road, and then the soldiers responsible for spreading the asphalt will pull a small cart full of asphalt and pour the asphalt evenly on the gravel and sand.  Finally, those stone rollers went into battle again, and after dozens of times of crushing, the road was considered complete.

    In addition to the construction soldiers, there is an engineer standing on the side of each section of the road. Some of these people are domestic experts who have been invited, and some are Japanese anti-war people who have experience in road construction.  acceptance.

    The head of a regiment looked at the busy soldiers, and complained to Wang Huzi, who was personally on site to supervise the work: "Brigade Commander, what's going on in this center? Why did Duan Duan suddenly start a big construction? The factories, schools, etc.  Forget it, why even this road has to be rebuilt, and such precious oil is boiled into asphalt and spread on the road, and those oil wells can be extended to produce five to six hundred catties of oil a day, and now half of them are used here  It¡¯s above, you know that the oil is the only thing in our hands that can be exchanged for weapons and food with the national army, it¡¯s so wasteful, I don¡¯t know how the chiefs came up with such a bad idea, they'

    Before the leader of the first group could finish speaking, Wang Huzi blew his beard and stared at him and shouted: "You can't stop nagging, nagging, and the decision of the leaders is due to your ignorance.  Can you comment on a basket of mud legs? Road construction is the decision of the central government. If you understand it, you must obey it. If you don¡¯t understand it, you must obey me. If you say so many strange words, you will also go to work for me!"

    The first regiment leader didn't know where his brigade commander was so angry, so he immediately shrank his neck and hid aside.

    Wang Huzi's anger in the past two days is not ordinary.  The reason is also simple, he felt aggrieved for his entire 359 brigade.  The 359th Brigade is one of the main forces of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, they moved to Wutai, Hengshan, Pingshan and other places in Shanxi.  flag, turned and ran.

    However, since the Southern Anhui Incident, in order to ensure the safety of the Central Headquarters, the Central Bureau transferred the 359th Brigade back to defend Yan'an.

    After these elite soldiers were transferred from the battlefield, they didn't say a single word of complaint, because they knew how heavy the responsibilities were on their shoulders. Over the years, they silently guarded around Yan'an, keeping an eye on the line of defense to guard against the national army and the Japanese army.  Launched a surprise attack on Yan'an, while following the orders of the central government, they reclaimed Nanniwan with a gun in one hand and a hoe in the other.

      Although such a day is very peaceful, it is unbearable for soldiers. After all, as a soldier, especially a soldier in the war years, there is no one who does not want to gallop the battlefield, defend the home and defend the country, let alone desire to fight the enemy and build  meritorious.

    But when these soldiers thought that Yan'an was behind them, no matter how unbearable it was, they could only bear it. These soldiers could smell the long-lost gunpowder smell from them only when the frontline generals came back for meetings or studies.  After sending away those frontline generals with envious eyes, these soldiers will continue to carry their guns on their backs, fight their posts well, and continue to guard this red holy land with their loyalty and blood.

    However, Li Hui's arrival was like a slid match, igniting their fiery warlike hearts at once. In fact, this is also normal. After all, those brand new 56-type submachine guns, 63-type automatic rifles, 40-fire,  160 Heavy Forces are like attractive beauties, anyone who sees them will be moved.

    ?  So the soldiers expressed their willingness to return to the battlefield to their squad leaders one after another, and these squad leaders thought about it too, so they handed over the soldiers and their petitions to the battalion leader.  These battalion leaders didn't talk nonsense, and directly put the letter of invitation in front of Wang Huzi.  on the boss's desk.

    Boss Zhu didn't even look at the invitation letters that filled the entire table, and asked directly: "Wang Huzi, what are you doing?"

    Wang Huzi said with a flattering face: "Boss, these are the letters of invitation written by the soldiers. Our brigade has been in Yan'an for more than two years, and the soldiers are all suffocated. Can you see"

    "Crack!" Boss Zhu slammed the table, tensed his face, and said sharply, "Please fight? I think you are trying to disobey orders, Wang Huzi, you know that Yan'an is currently under construction and there is an urgent shortage of manpower, but you encourage  The soldiers collectively wrote a letter of disobedience, do you still have a little bit of organization and discipline, do you still have a central government in your eyes!"

    Boss Zhu's sudden anger stopped Wang Huzi, and he quickly explained: "Boss, don't get me wrong, we just want to go to the battlefield"

    "What kind of battlefield are you going to? You don't know that the current task is more important than any troops on the front line. If what you do is successful, it will be more meaningful than the elimination of the five divisions of the little devils. The central government entrusts such an important matter to  Giving you Wang Beard is the central government¡¯s trust in your 359 brigade, but you came here to give me this hand, believe it or not, I will kill you right now!" The more Mr. Zhu said, the more angry he became, and recently he actually stretched out his hand  To the waist.

    Wang Huzi had never seen the boss lose such a big temper, and he quickly said: "Boss, don't be angry, can I do it?"  "

    Boss Zhu grabbed a handful of letters of invitation and threw them in his face and shouted, "Hurry up and get out of here with your bastards, and tell you, within two months, I won't let you go to Yan'an, no matter what method you use.  The extended highway is completed and opened to traffic, if you are a day late, I will really kill you!"

    Hearing this, Wang Huzi quickly picked up the invitation letter on the table, and ran out in a hurry.

    Although Boss Zhu threatened and scolded his willingness to fight back, Wang Huzi still didn't give up the idea of ??going to the battlefield, but he didn't dare to touch the boss's bad luck anymore, and he didn't dare to find other people.  Boss, so the more he looks at this road, the more annoying he is now. It happened that a group leader who had no eyesight hit him with a gun, and he vented all his anger on this unlucky bastard.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
