march to victory

Considering that everyone came from afar and didn't have a good rest along the way, Zhang Qingshan offered to propose: Don't say or do anything tonight, let everyone have a good night's rest, and have a meeting early tomorrow morning.

That's the case, but that night, Luo Yingjie and Li Hua jointly found Zhang Qingshan, and handed Zhang Qingshan a detailed map of Sanqiao County drawn by them-Luo Yingjie didn't know how to draw military maps, but Li Hua once worked in Luo Yingjie Under the recommendation of Li Hua, I spent a lot of money to study in the training class held by the Kuomintang for a semester, and this military map was drawn by Li Hua. They have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Sanqiao County over the years. one of the results.On it, even some secret trails are marked very clearly, and one can tell at a glance how much effort has been soaked in it.

But for Zhang Qingshan, this is a great gift.When the assault group arrived in Sanqiao County, they only found a map of the whole county of Sanqiao County 20 years ago. Not only was the proportion too large, but some places were not marked at all.But now with this detailed map, it is equivalent to having an extra pair of eyes, which has many benefits.

Excited, Zhang Qingshan immediately sent someone to call Hu Yingze, and the four of them got together and immediately faced the map, discussing how to establish the Qinglongshan resident, how to mobilize the people in the future, and so on.

Early the next morning, cadres above the company level of the assault regiment, including Li Hua, had a meeting together.

The meeting was very simple. It was to make sure that everyone worked together to establish the Qinglongshan resident first, and Hu Yingze was responsible for this matter.There is also the security around the station, which belongs to Tian Guozhong, the chief of staff of the regiment... As for Zhang Qingshan, he can control everything, but he can not be responsible for anything.

After the meeting, Zhang Qingshan took a few soldiers, accompanied by Li Hua, to check Qinglong Mountain and its surrounding environment... No matter how good and detailed the map is, it will never catch up with the field inspection.There may not be so many opportunities to go to other places for on-the-spot inspections, but as an important station for the assault regiment in the future, we must attach great importance to it and strive to be foolproof.

Qinglong Mountain is about fifty miles northeast of Sanqiao County.

Surrounded by mountains and dense forests.

After crossing the Qinglong Mountain, which is more than 600 meters above sea level, you enter the virgin forest.

The west side of Qinglong Mountain is a cliff, and there is no way to go—at least on the surface, there is no way to go, of course, the secret path stepped on by the hunters does not count.

But walking from Qinglong Mountain to the northeast, there is a rugged and difficult trail.After walking for more than four miles, I arrived at a three-way intersection, and entered the smuggling trail mentioned by Luo Yingjie earlier, and Li Jing's Baige Mountain was just north of the three-chasing intersection. It can be said that it is precisely because of this trail that Qinglong Mountain and Baige Mountain can form horns and support each other.After passing through the Sanchakou, follow the trail on the right for about six or seven miles to reach the main road, and then enter the boundary of Tongren County next door.

To put it simply, Qinglong Mountain is definitely a good place.As long as a few checkpoint fortifications are built at a few key points, the assault regiment's garrison can be turned into a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can advance and retreat freely.

Zhang Qingshan, who was in high spirits, kept pointing with great interest until around four o'clock in the afternoon, when Hu Yingze sent someone to inform him to go back, because Li Jing came with a generous gift.

Zhang Qingshan also wanted to get to know Luo Yingjie's brother who praised Youjia very much, not to mention that this time Li Jing really came with a heavy gift, and Zhang Qingshan had to meet him...Assault The most urgent problem that the regiment needs to solve now is not recruiting troops, but food.

The assault regiment came from afar, and they hid day and night to avoid the enemy, so it was impossible to carry a large amount of food.Although the county guerrilla brigade had been notified a long time ago and had already started preparations, they themselves had no fixed place to live and were in great difficulty. With great efforts, they only managed to gather seven or eight thousand catties of food.With 200 members of the assault regiment and 60 or [-] members of the county guerrilla brigade, the seven or eight thousand catties of food is enough for them to survive for two months.Ordinarily, within two months, with the ability of the assault regiment, more food can definitely be obtained, but the problem is that the assault regiment has to recruit troops, and the recruits have to spend a lot of effort on training. The plan is to stay dormant for a short period of time and not to make big moves. Besides, the number of people has skyrocketed after recruiting troops——Zhang Qingshan intends to recruit a battalion in the first batch...Under such various reasons, the seven or eight thousand catties of grain can sustain a battalion. Even if the month is not bad, there will be a food crisis.

And this Li Jing is really smart, and the gifts are all sent to the idea.He immediately guessed that the assault group urgently needed to solve the food problem, so when he came to visit this time, he unexpectedly delivered five thousand catties of food at once.

In this way, it is tantamount to giving the assault group enough time to train and leaving more time and opportunities for future development.

Li Hua gives people a gentle and gentle feeling, but as his cousin, Li Jing gives people a rough and rough feeling: he is tall and burly, with a thick beard on his face, but he has a big shaved head, plus There is a scar on the left side of his face, but he speaks like a bell. When talking to him, a rough and reckless air rushes towards him.

But he likes to laugh a lot, he looks bold, but the scar on his left face is a little distorted in his smile, giving off a ferocious look... I don't know if it's because of preconceived notions , Luo Yingjie's introduction earlier made Zhang Qingshan not like him very much, but now when he sees the real person's ugly appearance, his dislike is confirmed.Of course, Zhang Qingshan would not be so stupid as to show it to his face, and he could suppress this feeling of dislike.After all, even if it's nothing else, just because he sent a heavy gift of five thousand catties of grain as soon as he came up, and he will have to rely on his Pigeon Mountain to guard the trail to the northeast of Qinglong Mountain for a period of time, he should give him enthusiasm Isn't your smiling face?

Whether it's the traditional customs of China or the frankness of the reckless people, in Luo Yingjie's meeting, everyone has a quick chat after meeting, and then they go to the table-the culture on the wine table is more conducive to closer relationships. It is also more conducive to other routines-everyone knows it.

Although there are no particularly good dishes, but the wine is good enough, and, I didn't expect this Li Jing to be very knowledgeable after traveling all over the world. He knows some customs of all places, and when he talks about funny things, it's really witty Lianzhu, people don't want to laugh, which makes the atmosphere on the wine table very lively.

But what you think in your heart, then only you can know.

At least, Zhang Qingshan was a little surprised: this Li Jing, from the beginning to the end, never mentioned the matter of joining the assault company.Luo Yingjie even thought that Li Jing was embarrassed to speak because he had just met Zhang Qingshan and the others, so he felt a little sorry, so he mentioned it for him implicitly. As a result, before Zhang Qingshan answered, Li Jing took the conversation directly and dealt with it casually After one sentence, immediately change the subject.Now, even Luo Yingjie knew that Li Jing was determined not to talk about it today.

However, what surprised Zhang Qingshan and other members of the assault group was that they never expected that this Li Jing's drinking capacity could be so good, it can't be described as a huge amount, it is simply not drunk after a thousand glasses!

Apart from Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze, accompanied by Luo Yingjie and Li Hua, there were also Li Jing and one of his military fellows at the wine table.There are six people in total.

At the beginning, everyone was a little embarrassed to drink each other's wine because they met for the first time, but unexpectedly, when others refused to drink, Li Jing was not polite.It made everyone feel depressed, and soon, the wine table became four pairs of two.Li Jing's subordinates had already been forced to the ground, Hu Yingze was a little dizzy, and even Zhang Qingshan, who thought he could drink well, squinted a little, but Li Jing was still in high spirits, with the demeanor of a general at the wine table... Where did Li Hua know that this Li Jing never drank alcohol when he was a child, and later he got some strange disease, after he was cured, he accidentally discovered that he could drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk.Zhang Qingshan and the others could only smile wryly, feeling a little ashamed.

Luo Yingjie's drinking capacity is also very good. It is said that the highest record is that he can hit a wick with a gun after drinking five catties of wine.But he is not a gifted person, but the result of his extensive contacts, forced to practice.

While Zhang Qingshan and the others were resting after drinking, Luo Yingjie took Li Jing around - anyway, Li Jing did not miss this place. For Li Jing, he could think of how to arrange any place, and there was nothing special about it. The secret at all.

"Brother, our Red Army, no, it's now called the Eighth Route Army. The main force of our Eighth Route Army is here. This is the best time... At the wine table just now, I mentioned for you to join, why do you..."

"Brother, I will make a solid deal with you. If I do it with you, I am willing to do it one hundred times, but I can do it with others. Brother, you also know that my little brother is very suspicious, so...heh! Heh!"

"Brother, the regiment leader and I are both members of the Communist Party. Isn't it the same to follow the regiment leader and follow me?"

"It's different! Brother, think about it. The Communist Party is made up of a large number of people. Can this person be the same as a person? If you become the head of the group, you don't have to say anything. I will do what you want me to do, even if it is me. Fate, I have nothing else to say. But... Brother, let me be honest, haven't you noticed that your regiment leader and political commissar are actually very wary of me... Brother, don't talk, listen to me I know that they want to observe me, this is human nature. Similarly, I also want to observe them, after all, I have to be responsible for the life and future of the one or two hundred brothers who follow me to eat, right?"

"But……"

"Okay, okay, big brother, we have nothing to say about life and death brothers. I will join sooner or later, but it will take time, so don't force me. Besides, isn't it good that we are like this now? ? You can still be each other’s horns, you can still support each other, can’t you? Well, big brother, let’s talk about this later, you’d better let me see, brother, okay?”

What else could Luo Yingjie do other than nod his head?

"By the way, brother, I see that the assault regiment doesn't have many people, doesn't it seem like the main force?"

Luo Yingjie's trust in this life-and-death brother naturally explained to him well: This is the vanguard, and it is here to expand its strength. The main force is still behind. Come here.

Li Jing nodded, didn't ask any more questions, but began to observe those soldiers carefully...
