Comrade Lao Yang is the secretary of the Taigu County Party Committee. A few days ago, he received an urgent order from his superiors, asking him to mobilize 2,000 trustworthy strong laborers, together with the common people gathered from several neighboring counties, to be on standby. There will be a major operation tonight.

At seven o'clock in the evening, after having a hard meal at the secret gathering place, everyone came to this place to wait.

In fact, it is called hard rice, which is rice made from mixed grains, and each person only got two bowls.

As for the dishes, they were all pickled vegetables that ordinary people pickled in their homes, and they were very salty.

Even so, all the gathered common people exclaimed that it was too luxurious. Such good food might not even be available for them during the New Year.

Ever since the Japanese came, those damn beasts have been burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil everywhere. The lives of the common people, which were already poor to begin with, have become even more miserable. It has been a great effort to keep their families and children barely alive, let alone anything else.

After the train stopped, Comrade Lao Yang led the team to meet it.

Wang Liansheng was the squad leader of a special forces company of a regiment. At this time, he led a squad of soldiers to escort the train to its destination and directed the local personnel waiting on the scene to transport supplies.

"You are Comrade Lao Yang, right? I am from the First Regiment of the Third Division. My name is Wang Liansheng."

"Comrade Wang, welcome. We have been waiting for a long time. Let's start now."

"Okay, Comrade Lao Yang, let's open carriage number four first and move the things inside down."

After hearing this, Lao Yang directed his entourage to open carriage number four, move out the supplies inside, and place them on the open space nearby.

"Comrade Lao Yang, these are all the Japanese military canned food and compressed biscuits we seized at the train station. According to the requirements of our superiors, give three cans of beef and three compressed biscuits to each of the porters today."

"The other command and escort personnel will each receive a can of food and a compressed biscuit as a midnight snack tonight."

"By the way, to prevent everyone from getting sleepy, everyone can also get a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches."

Comrade Lao Yang did not expect that his superiors were so thoughtful. He quickly passed the good news to everyone, which immediately aroused a wave of gratitude.

Originally, everyone wanted to help and didn't expect any benefits.

As long as they can help the Eighth Route Army and at the same time strike hard at the Japanese, they will be satisfied.

Facing the enemy's invasion, all the Chinese people, except the traitors, shared the same hatred and contributed money and manpower.

Of course, if the troops insisted on giving them some supplies, everyone would gladly accept them.

However, there are still many people who want to refuse. Life in the army is not easy now, and they cannot take advantage of the public.

After hearing this, Wang Liansheng was deeply moved. What kind of people! As long as he had their support, there would be no problem in defeating the Japanese.

However, in order to complete today's task, he hurriedly explained loudly:

"Tonight we are all doing manual labor. There are still several trains behind us that need to unload goods and take them away. We need to move them away as quickly as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome if the Japanese find us."

"Everyone needs to eat to have the strength to work, so don't refuse anymore. These are captured from the Japanese anyway, it would be a waste if we don't eat them."

After hearing this, everyone thought that this made sense. If they wanted to move the goods quickly, the two bowls of hard rice they had tonight would not last long.

Now that we have good things like canned beef and compressed biscuits, the efficiency of our work will definitely be greatly improved.

Although no one present had ever eaten canned beef and compressed biscuits, everyone knew they were good things as soon as they heard the names of these things. The taste must be top-notch, and everyone could be said to have tasted foreign food today.

Next, these supplies were quickly distributed to everyone, and then according to the pre-planned plan, the supplies from five carriages were unloaded first. After the unloading was completed, the train was moved for a distance so that the goods could be unloaded nearby.

Everyone saw that the train carriage was filled with all kinds of supplies, and it was so packed that at the beginning it took several people to pull out a few bags of rice.

However, the more this happened, the happier everyone was, as it also meant that their troops had won a great victory and the amount of supplies captured was unprecedented.

After all, the Japanese will not be so kind as to give us these good things. The troops must kill the Japanese before they can get them successfully.

As long as we fight the Japanese and win, it is something worth celebrating.

As for the rest, we ordinary people don’t understand and don’t need to ask around. We just need to put in our effort.

Wang Liansheng then said to Comrade Lao Yang:

"There are still a lot of weapons and equipment replaced by the main force in the carriage, about 400 miscellaneous rifles, and a small amount of bullets, not much, an average of only more than ten bullets per rifle."

"There are also some bird guns, single-shot, and quite a few grenades made in the border areas."

"According to the requirements of our superiors, all of these have been handed over to the county brigade to ensure the smooth transportation of supplies."

Hearing that so many weapons had been obtained at once, Comrade Lao Yang said excitedly:

"That's great. Now we can expand our Taigu County brigade and district squad."

"Even your main force lacks weapons and ammunition, let alone our local forces. Five people can only be allocated a weapon that can be used effectively. It's really a tearful story."

"Now that we have so many weapons, the Japanese won't be able to live in peace in this area in the future."

After he finished speaking, he turned to the guard and ordered:

"Hurry up and run to inform Captain He behind us, and ask him to lead the county brigade and the district squad to rush over for emergency equipment change. Hurry."

Next, bales of cotton, sacks of grain, and various sundries were unloaded from the train and loaded onto carriages that had been waiting for a long time.

After the carriage was full, it left quickly at the shouting of the old coachman.

After walking about five miles, the carriage arrived in front of a forest, where more people were waiting.

After the carriage stopped, a special person was assigned to direct the rapid unloading of supplies from the carriage and loading them onto a large number of wheelbarrows, which then quickly disappeared into the mountains along the mountain road.

On this road, there will be a guerrilla team guarding every 500 meters or so to prevent any emergencies.

The Eighth Route Army has simulated this situation many times and basically there will be no problems.

Kong Hao had specially brought people to conduct an on-site survey beforehand, including the personnel unloading the goods from the train station, the transportation capacity of the horse-drawn carriages, and the arrangements for the dispersed personnel.

Through modern coordination methods, we can maximize the use of everyone's power.

When Kong Hao demonstrated all the personnel allocations to everyone through calculations, Chief of Staff Li and Commander Ma were immediately astonished.

The two asked Kong Hao to explain in detail how this theory worked, and asked someone to record it.

This method of allocating personnel in the most reasonable way according to each link was something they had never encountered before. Although it was used more or less in the troops in peacetime, it had not formed a theory.

What Kong Hao used was summarized by later generations after a long period of time. Although it was just an ordinary skill in his mind, it is very useful for people nowadays.

In fact, this is Kong Hao's greatest role. What he inadvertently revealed was extremely terrifying for the improvement of the Eighth Route Army's soft power, but no one noticed it, not even Kong Hao himself.

A lot of advanced management knowledge and concepts are gradually consolidating the foundation of the Eighth Route Army and enriching its background.
