Chapter Fifty Gao Quan is also worried

  Zhang Yang's life was not going well, and Gao Quan was not much better off. After a stroll around the mountain, they had enjoyed a period of leisurely days, but then Gao Quan suddenly discovered with alarm and annoyance that he actually had some troublesome things to do! For the time being, there were countless reports to fill out, and even signing many battle plans and work documents added up to dozens of items. If you add in the numerous meeting records that needed to be carefully reviewed, it was estimated that ten days and nights would not be enough to finish them all!

  Looking at Gaoquan's terrified expression, his mouth was so big that a duck egg could fit inside, and the crowd in the martial arts hall laughed with joy!

  In difficult times, there are always a group of people who find joy in bitterness, living strongly and happily, persistently!

  The general content of the Kuomintang's battle plan had long been transmitted to the internal organs of the Soviet district through underground parties. Wearing a military uniform that had already turned white after washing, Gao Daquan sat in a chair carefully flipping through these documents.

  Gao Quan was not a person who could bear loneliness, he hastily flipped through the detailed battle plan in the Kuomintang's war department safe, which was even more detailed than the insurance box. Gao Quan smiled and stood up, gazing out of the window at the moonlight, his silence hinting at an almost imperceptible smile.

  There were only more than 20 troops in total, and they actually divided their forces into three routes. One route attacked the Ningxia Foping base area, one route attacked the Zhen'an Shanyang base area, and the most elite unit closely pursued the main force of Gaoquan. They had the upper hand everywhere, but not an absolute advantage; plus, in order to prevent being defeated by Gaoquan's individual battles and surrounded points, six or seven troops on one route were still tightly gathered together. This is like a fishing net with holes as big as teacups, wanting to catch this small loach Gaoquan, the possibility of victory almost doesn't exist, at most it would just be a victorious parade!

  However, what the Communist Party truly feared was not the combat effectiveness of these Nationalist troops, but rather that they would often sweep through like locusts, leaving nothing in their wake. How could the base areas established with great difficulty tolerate such destruction by the Nationalists?

  However, Gao Quan is now facing a bigger problem - food! In order to gather troops and prepare for the big battle, Gao Quan not only summoned Chen's deputy commander's troops from Ningxia region, but also gathered some local guerrilla forces in the area. As a result, when he returned to Shanyang Town, the center of the Soviet area, more than 8,000 people suddenly appeared before him!

  The army is strong and the equipment is advanced, which is indeed a very exciting thing. However, with nearly 10,000 soldiers, robust physique, every day they need tens of thousands of kilograms of food, in a month it will be more than 500,000 kilograms of food! Gao Quan was horrified as if he saw his soldiers fainting from exhaustion and hunger in the mountains. Thinking of Lao He and Li Zhengwei scrambling to raise funds for food everywhere, Gao Quan's face turned black, this is really not a human life!

  Moreover, Gaoquan thought of the number of old soldiers in the current troops through the massive food consumption every day. The old soldiers who were less than 700 before, plus the 3,000 captive soldiers of the Nationalist Party, actually set up a framework for an 8,000-man troop (main force 5,500 people), which is really a bit illusory in terms of combat effectiveness! Thinking of the Eighth Route Army's large expansion in 1939, when one company was pulled out to form a regiment, and then the combat effectiveness plummeted, leading to consecutive losses in the confrontation with the little devils. Gaoquan couldn't help but pat his own head and ask himself: "Is the new-style military movement mainly based on complaining and rectification really so powerful? Can it really make new soldiers have the combat effectiveness of old soldiers?"

  However, Gaoquan is more concerned about the report sent by the logistics department. Now in the troops, even with the reserve ammunition added, there are only more than 20 bullets per person! And Gaoquan's troops are preparing to fight several fierce battles. The reserve of these bullets is really...

  In short, Gao Quan is really on fire! "Does this still allow people to live?!" Thinking of the past when a Red Army soldier had to fight with only three or four bullets, Gao Quan truly sighed a thousand times. The heavy documents slowly slipped from his fingers, leaving behind a silly person staring blankly out the window.

  The guard, Shi Shenjie, who was walking past the window, suddenly heard an extremely heavy voice, hoarsely saying: "If only there were a Huangyadong munitions factory like during the Eighth Route Army era! If you wanted hand grenades, you'd have hand grenades; if you wanted rocket launchers, you'd have rocket launchers, and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition!" Listening to this inexplicable speech, Shi Shenjie could only guess that his instructor was talking nonsense again.

  The Red Army's large-scale concentration made the many mountain stronghold owners and cave owners in the Qinling Mountains rejoice! The "Zhou Bapi" that had been pressing down on their heads for a long time would not come to disturb them at least for a short period of time. Just thinking about how they had bought guns and ammunition from outside the mountains with great difficulty, only to have most of it forcibly taken away by the big bandit Gao Quanquan like a goose being plucked! And every year's rent was also collected in large quantities, making them resent this young bandit leader to the bone! If it weren't for the fact that he had strong troops and wouldn't lose out when dealing with the provincial government, who would sell his account?!

  But as for Gao Quan, this unstable factor, everyone still has a worried look on their face. Who knows what kind of trouble Gao Quan will stir up! Maybe this time the troops are gathered for training, and then they'll use these mountain strongholds as whetstones! Gao Quan's lawless behavior in Qinling is not something that started yesterday or the day before! So one after another, they sent out their hidden scouts to investigate, if there's a good opportunity, they can also take advantage of it to make a move! Always being exploited by Gao Quan and only able to eat into their own capital isn't a solution either!

  After the sharp internal staff captured dozens of such spies, these Zhai masters also successfully shifted the gaze of the embarrassed and powerful Gaoduan to them! It's worth knowing that many of these villages have been passed down for hundreds of years! They have a lot of family property, food, silver, ammunition, and so on, which are not in short supply!

  Gao Quan's hands were clasped together, his face filled with lustful imagination of grains, ammunition, and piles of gold and silver. Many of the village heads suddenly let out a loud "Achoo!"
