After the May Day Sweep, the Japanese army in North China did not make any greater moves.Yoshio Shinozuka woke up after two days in a coma, and he didn't think about continuing to sweep after that.Okamura Ninji also settled down after this sweep.After more than a year of intelligence gathering, at this moment, all of them have been used, and when they run out, they will have to start collecting intelligence from scratch.Throughout the second half of the year, the Japanese offensive on the North China side was not strong, and the original active offensive turned to defense, but they themselves did not find this situation.Because the Japanese army's attention was on the South Seas at this time, especially after the Pearl Harbor incident, the Japanese army began to shift its center of gravity southward.On the Chinese battlefield, it is more about using war to nourish the war, and pulling those second-class divisions that do not enter the stream into the battlefield to fight.After fighting with the Chinese army, he has become a veteran and is pulled to the Pacific theater.Especially now, because of the guerrilla attacks in North China, the Japanese army has no choice but to form a division called the "Security Regiment", which is generally a light division adapted from a brigade and formed specifically for the guerrillas.Most of these expanded brigades are recruits.They were pulled to the North China Battlefield to familiarize themselves with the battlefield, while those veterans were pulled to the Pacific Theater.Therefore, the current Chinese battlefield is for the Japanese army to train troops.But it is also undeniable that in this training ground, more than half of the Japanese army was contained.Otherwise, all of them will be sent to the Pacific theater, and that will be another situation.In the second half of the year, the Pacific Ocean was very lively, the first Battle of El Alamein in July, the Battle of Kuah Island in August, the second Battle of Kuah Island in September, the second Battle of El Alamein in October, the North African landing in November and the Battle of Kuah Island came to an end, and the Japanese marines were all defeated.At the same time, there was another major event, that is, the Great Famine in Henan.Theoretically speaking, it began in the summer of '41, and there was no harvest in the summer and autumn for two consecutive years, and there was a locust plague, and the results can be imagined.And so there was this great famine.The deepest impression of this famine is the movie called "1942", Chang You doesn't know much about other aspects, at most he knows that after this famine, the Japanese army took the whole of Henan.And it was the people of Henan who led the way at that time.Because the Japanese army is willing to give him a bite to eat, in the face of this chance of survival, they no longer care who the ruler is.How to lead the way for the Japanese army As for the disaster relief in Chongqing, I really dare not compliment.But there was no way, because at that time, there was a disaster in the entire Central Plains, not only Henan.Like Shanxi, there is also a drought, and I was expecting summer grain, but it turned out to be a drought, resulting in little harvest.The ensuing drought left them with little harvest in the autumn.Chang You himself is difficult to protect, how can he have extra time to think about others.If we don't respond, it's a question of whether we can survive until next year.Now the phenomenon of starvation has begun to appear, and the disaster situation in the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan border areas is also extremely serious, among which the areas controlled by the Red Party are the most serious.Among them, in the Taihang area, there are more than 560,000 stones of grain exempted this year alone, and there is a large number of victims who continue to pour in, which increases their burden.The Japanese army drove all the victims out of their occupied areas, and the purpose was very simple, that is, to increase the burden on the Red Party, and the effect was also significant.The food production has decreased, but there are more mouths waiting for food, which makes them also anxious.Such a great famine has a great impact on the spring ploughing in the coming year.The famine caused a large number of people to leave their homes, resulting in the land being deserted, and no one to cultivate, so how to produce food "This dog is sunny, and it doesn't rain a little" Xiao Liuzi was shirtless and looked up at the sky.The sun was unusually hot, and he was covered in sweat.Ye Qingshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said, "This sudden drought is estimated to be a disaster in many places. ”Ge Zhong also shook his head, "Hey, natural disasters and man-made disasters, I don't know how many people will die before I stop." ”"It's good to be dead, and you don't need to die."
Chang You stood aside and said with a slight sarcasm.I don't know who this sarcasm is talking about."
Captain, be cautious" Ge Zhong was taken aback by Chang You's words, and hurriedly looked left and right to make sure that there were no outsiders before he breathed a sigh of relief and admonished."
Isn't I telling the truth, and no one dies soon after I die," Chang You asked him with a smile.Ge Zhong didn't answer, the truth is this truth, but if everyone dies, then there will be no one in this world, what is the world like without people?
Ge Zhong couldn't imagine it, and he didn't dare to think about it."
Captain, now we don't have enough food in stock, this is a big job, I guess don't think about autumn food.""
How do I know, I don't care about logistics, you just have to ask Lao Hu about this.""
Forget it, I won't ask him, I don't think I can ask anything.""
Anyway, it's enough for you to eat, just don't go hungry."
After Chang You finished speaking, he turned over on the mat, his back was covered with sweat, there was no cloud on this day, not even a little breeze, even if it was under the tree, it was useless, it was hot and stuffy, just like in a big steamer, and it was steamed without water.When Chang You said that there was enough food to eat, Hu Yidao was distressed by the food.Originally, there was indeed enough food, and it would not be a problem to last until next year.However, there was a problem here, that is, the drought caused many places to be unharvested, and the Japanese army drove them out, and they were forced to seek help from their own people, and many people were accepted in this village halfway up the mountain.Originally, the people in the village didn't want to collect it, after all, they didn't have enough food to eat, so how could they have time to help outsiders.It was Hu Yidao who came forward and persuaded the people in the village to leave these fleeing people behind.Let them live here for the time being, although the food is out of their new regiments, but they have to get the rest by themselves, such as building a house or something.By the way, taking advantage of this opportunity, some young and strong people were admitted to replenish the troops.There are so many people in the surrounding villages, who are willing to come have already come, and those who are not willing to come are not forced.Hu Yidao, who was distressed by the source of soldiers, just took this opportunity to recruit some people.No matter how many tricks he makes, there are only a thousand people, but there are thousands of people who have fled the famine, and if he accepts these young people, he will be responsible for their relatives.For a time, more than three times as much food was consumed every day as before.With such a consumption rate, let alone next year, it is estimated that it will last for three or four months.So now Hu Yidao has a headache, food, it has always been a big problem.Because of this annoyance, he thinks about how to get food every day, and he dreams about this at night
