    Jining City. Shandong Guerrilla Corps Forward Headquarters!

    After conquering Jining, there were three paths before Li Guoyao and others. One was to immediately pack up his belongings and evacuate Jining, and return to Xiong'er Mountain while the Japs were shrinking their forces.

    Anyway, they made a profit in this battle. Hit and run, which is very consistent with the principle of guerrilla warfare.

    Secondly, he can continue to drive towards Jinan and threaten the capital city of Shandong Province. With the current situation of Jinan City, it is difficult to stop Li Guoyao's attack.

    Li Guoyao didn't know that his sudden move had shocked all parties. At this time, he was rushing to Lian Qingshan with six thousand captive soldiers to join Liu Zhanyun and others.

    The third way is for the army to go south from Jining, attack Teng County, and attack Shanting together with Zhang Tengjiao's troops, and even capture Zaozhuang.

    ¡°However, these three options all have advantages and disadvantages, making it difficult for Li Guoyao to make a choice.

    After learning that the Japanese army was mobilizing troops from everywhere, Li Guoyao decided to stay in Jining for a few days!

    Of course, waiting is not the purpose. Li Guoyao's real purpose is to take advantage of these few days to transport the loot back to the base area. Secondly, he is to take advantage of the dense population of Jining and its surrounding counties to replenish the troops.

    So far, more than 4,600 soldiers of the guerrilla army have been killed in this war, and more than 4,000 soldiers have been injured.

    In other words, after this battle, Li Guoyao's troops were reduced by nearly 9,000 people, accounting for almost 40% of the total force.

    Such casualties were already within the surrenderable range for European countries. Therefore, although Li Guoyao took a lot of advantages in this battle, it was also a tragic victory.

    Of course, they did not let the little devils get away with it. The total number of casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops on the Shanting front line exceeded 7,000. In addition to the more than 5,000 people in the Jining direction, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered losses in these two battlefields alone.  There are more than 12,000 people, not counting the battles in Linyi and Yishui directions.

    "However, compared with the Japanese, the disadvantages of Li Guoyao's headquarters are also quite obvious. The most important difference is that Li Guoyao's headquarters has almost no industry, and it is difficult to replenish both troops and weapons and equipment.

    Fortunately, the front line this time, they seized a large amount of weapons, equipment and strategic materials from Zoucheng and Jining. These materials were prepared by the 12th Army for the 32nd Division and 21st Division on the southern front. Unexpectedly, they were all cheap in the end.  He joined Li Guoyao's department.

    According to statistics, during this battle, Li Guoyao's troops seized more than 14,000 long and short guns, more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, more than 100 anti-aircraft machine guns and grenades, mortars, mountain artillery, field artillery, and infantry.  With 62 guns, it can almost form a reinforced artillery regiment.

    In addition, there are millions of French bullets and tens of thousands of artillery shells, as well as more than 300 boxes of grenades and more than 15,000 grenades.

    As for food, batches, gold, silver, jewelry, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, they are even more numerous, and they have all become the spoils of war for Li Guoyao's troops.

    Now that he has weapons and equipment and money, the first thing Li Guoyao thinks of is to recruit troops to make up for the losses.

    In order to recruit soldiers, Li Guoyao also worked hard. He directly asked people to post an announcement. The army recruitment did not count men and women. As long as they were willing to follow the army to fight the Japanese, each person could be given a settlement allowance of 20 oceans. In addition, each person would also be given fifty kilograms of food.  and ten pounds of meat.

    As soon as the announcement came out, the whole Jining City was in a state of excitement. These days, three to five yuan is considered a lot for recruiting troops. Many times, people are directly robbed without leaving.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of ??and Li Guoyao not only gives money, food, but also meat. When calculated, it costs at least 35 yuan to recruit a person, which is really rare in this era when human life is so trivial.

    What¡¯s more important is that unlike other armies that only require men, Li Guoyao¡¯s men are not limited to men and women, as long as they are in good health, all of them will be under his command.

    Originally, the people in the city had doubts about the authenticity of this announcement, but when a large amount of silver coins and grain were carried to the streets by the troops, and the washed and skinned war horses were also carried to the front, as long as someone joined the troops, his family would be  Some people can receive 20 pieces of cash, a bag of grain and a large piece of horse meat.

    By now, the people in the city were all boiling. Those who couldn't help themselves or those who were homeless rushed to the recruitment points. In an instant, there were long lines at the recruitment points under Li Guoyao's headquarters in the city.

    At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Guoyao and others were having a meeting in the temporary headquarters.

    Li Guoyao, who was taking the main seat, looked refreshed, and it was not obvious that he had stayed up all day and night without closing his eyes.

    "Ziyu, how is the little devil's situation now?" Li Guoyao asked in a deep voice.

    "Report to the commander that the Japs on the Shanting front line have withdrawn their troops, butIt was because the forwards only withdrew to Xuzhuang Town and did not continue to retreat. They seemed to want to hold on to this bridgehead!  "

    "Hmph, Gouri is thinking very long-term. He sent a report to Zhang Tengjiao's headquarters and asked them to take the initiative to attack and defeat Xuzhuang Town. If you want to evacuate, just evacuate cleanly. Don't give me eye drops.  !" Li Guoyao said.

    "yes!"

    "Old Chen, how is the recruitment situation going?"

    "More than 3,000 people have been collected, but"

    "It's just nothing, hesitating is not your style!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Commander, we have collected a lot of people, but there are many men and girls joining the army. Among the three thousand people collected, there are 1800 women and 1200 men!" Chen Jianzhong said.

    "What's going on?" Li Guoyao asked.

    "Commander, after spending the same amount of money, it doesn't seem good that there will be more women than men in the end. After all, aren't women going to the battlefield to deliver food to the little devils?" Chen Jianzhong said.

    Li Guoyao finally understood. Chen Jianzhong looked down on female soldiers and believed that male soldiers were more effective.

    "Hehehe, it doesn't matter, pass on the order, no matter men or women, as long as they are in good health, we will accept anyone who comes!" Li Guoyao said with a smile.

    "Commander, in just one day today, we have dispersed 60,000 yuan, 150,000 kilograms of grain and 30,000 kilograms of meat, but in exchange we can only get more than a thousand people who can fight. Is it really necessary to continue recruiting troops?" Chen Jianzhong immediately  said.

    "Yes, first let me ask you, how much material did we seize this time?" Li Guoyao asked in a deep voice.

    "Lance"

    ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you about weapons and equipment, I just asked about living supplies!¡±

    "More than two million catties of grain, more than two thousand rolls of cloth, and more than 11 million oceans"

    "Let me ask you again, how many people do we have now?"

    "A little more than four thousand!"

    "Can these more than 4,000 people transport all the supplies?"

    "Difficulties!"

    "It's not that there are difficulties, but it's simply impossible to transport them all. Good luck with money and cloth, but bad luck with food. Two million kilograms of food is more than a thousand tons. Even using a large mule and carriage would require a  Thousands and hundreds of cars, where are we going to find so many cars in such a hurry?¡±

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "In addition, this time we also killed five or six hundred war horses, each weighing several hundred kilograms. It is a pity to lose them, but transporting them back to the base is a luxury. Rather than doing this, it is better to give them to the people in the city.  .¡±

    ¡°Then it¡¯s enough to just open a warehouse to provide grain and meat. Why do you have to go to the ocean to recruit so many useless women?¡± Chen Jianzhong asked puzzledly.

    "You don't have to ask, you won't understand even if I tell you, and you won't believe it even if you understand, just carry out the order!"

    "yes!"

    "In addition, in the name of the army, we will send food to families in the city whose families are serving in the National Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army. The standard is 100 kilograms of grain and 20 kilograms of meat per family!" Li Guoyao said.

    "The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are both Yan'an troops. Do we really want to take care of them?"

    "Guan, if we can capture Jining City this time, the information sent by the Eighth Route Army is crucial. We can't be ungrateful!" Li Guoyao said.

    "yes!"

    Then Li Guoyao said again: "Let's all get ready. Let's evacuate Jining in three days! Dismiss the meeting!"
