march to victory

Li Jing used the excuse of "the world is not peaceful and the cottage has many affairs, so he has to go back" as an excuse, and he was about to leave after dinner.

Although Li Jing's excuse was known to be nonsense, Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to pretend to stay for a while, seeing Li Jing's insistence, he pushed the boat to see him off.

When Zhang Qingshan took several people to personally send Li Jing to the foot of the mountain, and when they parted, Zhang Qingshan took out the Browning and handed it to him together with two magazines.

Sure enough, Li Jing had never seen such an exquisite pistol. Under his excitement, he accidentally revealed a bit of his nature: he didn't even say any polite words, and while saying thank you excitedly, he took the pistol without any politeness at all. He loaded Browning with a magazine on the spot...Of course he knew that doing something like loading a magazine in front of others was not only extremely rude, but also vaguely threatening to the other party.However, he was so excited that he forgot it for a while.

Of course, he didn't even know that at the beginning of his action of loading the magazine, Comrade Xiang Tao, the guard behind Zhang Qingshan, and the comrades in the guard squad were shocked, and Xiang Tao's right hand was touched secretly. On the box gun at the waist, even the safety has been opened, and secretly prepared to push Zhang Qingshan away at any time.

Fortunately, no matter how excited Li Jing was, at most he would just turn around and point his gun elsewhere... If he dared to point his gun at Zhang Qingshan, then, no matter whether he fired or not, it was guaranteed that the two sides would fight immediately—that If so, the threat is very obvious.

However, Zhang Qingshan is not worried about his own life at all, because in his opinion, Li Jing has no motive to threaten him at all, let alone kill him: he has no grudges against him in the past, and he has no grudges in the present, and he just Now, I am afraid that those enemies who want to spend money to buy their own lives don't even know that the commando group has penetrated into their stomachs.Besides, everyone is still in the honeymoon period of cooperation. Even if the Kuomintang is gone, the little devil, who is more ruthless, is the next common goal. , it is impossible to kill yourself.

Then, Zhang Qingshan talked about the origin of this gun with a smile, and specially reminded or hoped that when Li Jing saw this gun, he would remember the origin of this gun.To put it bluntly, it is a very euphemistic warning and expectation.

At this time, Li Jing was probably completely in love with Browning. He kept nodding his head, but it was obvious at a glance that he didn't listen at all.

After sending Li Jing away, Zhang Qingshan immediately held a meeting of cadres at and above the company level of the assault regiment.

The meeting lasted from the evening until after eleven o'clock in the night, mainly to discuss specific matters.

At the meeting, the main purpose was to confirm what Zhang Qingshan had previously discussed with Hu Yingze, that is, to use this great opportunity to advance the next step of the assault regiment's plan when the little devil had never heard of it and when people in Sanqiao County were panicking: recruiting troops, buying horses, and Promote patriotic education and so on.

At the same time, the meeting unanimously passed the confirmation of the commander of the fourth battalion of Luo Yingjie's assault regiment, and the confirmation of the appointment of the commander of the Guerrilla Brigade of Li Hua Sanqiao County.

In addition, the previous job responsibilities have also been slightly changed: Hu Yingze is mainly responsible for promoting the patriotism of the Anti-Japanese War and responsible for recruiting troops. He can be regarded as the commander-in-chief.However, because Luo Yingjie has a lot of friends in the local area, he has friends from all walks of life, and it is very easy to inquire about information, so he was specially appointed as the director of the intelligence department. His subordinates are all selected from the guerrillas, and he is also given a certain amount of freedom. , in some places, such as the development of outside lines in the ranks of traitors and so on.Zhang Qingshan is in charge of training, Tian Guozhong is in charge of continuing to strengthen the fortifications of Qinglong Mountain and its surroundings...

At the meeting, it was also specially proposed that, except for Xiao Wang, the squad leader, and Xiang Xueqin, who is pregnant, to stay directly in Qinglong Mountain, the other eight nurses in the medical squad should stay one in turn, and the other seven nurses plus the one sent from above Five of the twenty political cadres were selected to form a propaganda team.In the future, a group of capable women will be selected from among the courageous and eloquent women who yearn for revolution in various towns and towns, and join the propaganda team to cooperate in the propaganda of the Anti-Japanese War Stand up and selflessly support the Eighth Route Army and the Women’s Rescue Association of various anti-Japanese armed forces in order to fight the devils)...

On the second day, everyone worked separately as agreed by the meeting: Although Zhang Qingshan had no training object for the time being, he had to lead people to make training equipment, and at the same time, he had to cooperate with Tian Guozhong to dig out the two for food storage and storage. Caves for weapons and ammunition——Tian Guozhong took people to build the fortifications. There were few manpower and time was tight, so he was really too busy.On the contrary, Hu Yingze, accompanied by Luo Yingjie and Li Hua early the next morning, led a company (because it was just a show, in fact, there was only one platoon of troops, including some guerrillas who went with them) , a total of five to 60 people) went down the mountain, the first stop was to visit Luo Erye in Luojiazhai, and then they had to take a walk around several towns around.The main purpose is naturally to recruit soldiers, but the first batch of fighters to be recruited, the first consideration is the large number of guerrilla members who were previously disbanded by Luo Yingjie because they wanted to fight guerrillas, and hid in various villages and villages to continue to launch the revolution in secret— — These people, basically, even if they have never fired a gun, they have seen the battlefield, experienced the baptism of bullets and bullets, and have certain battlefield experience. At least they are not afraid of gunshots, especially shells. explode.Moreover, their political and ideological reliability is better, and compared with ordinary people, their organizational discipline is also stronger. As the team of the assault group, both experience and reliability are absolutely suitable.

This first batch of recruitment work has achieved remarkable results and outstanding speed.

From the next afternoon, eight young men came to the village closest to Qinglong Mountain, which made Zhang Qingshan very happy.Because these eight young men live in the mountains, not only do they all have certain marksmanship, but they are also very familiar with the conditions in the mountains, not much different from the hunters in Qinglong Village... What makes Zhang Qingshan even more happy is that he thought of , Select the best 20 hunters from Qinglong Village and those hunters who joined the recruits later, or those who have adapted to the mountains, and form a special mountain forest combat team, with Xiao Tuozi as the captain, to fight against the mountains and forests. train.To put it bluntly, it is a special force that is good at fighting in the mountains and forests.And this, thanks to the effect brought by the assault company, made Zhang Qingshan instinctively like this kind of special forces.Therefore, as long as he sees good talents in any field, he likes to compile an expert special force.So that later, in Zhang Qingshan's assault regiment, there were three or four special forces that were good at a certain aspect and specialized in this aspect of operations.

Immediately, batch after batch of recruits arrived one after another from various villages and villages.On the most day, seven teams even came, and the number of participants reached 120 or three... In fact, only a small half of these people were former guerrillas.Because half of the guerrilla members developed by Luo Yingjie are middle-aged people in their 40s and [-]s. They are no longer suitable to serve in the assault regiment. Among other things, the amount of training in the assault regiment is doomed Only young and strong lads can bear it.However, after they were secretly sent home, they still actively promoted the revolution in their villages and mobilized everyone to stand up and fight against Lao Jiang. Although they were detected by Lao Jiang's people and lost some people, most of them They survived, and secretly organized a group of young people in their village, ready to jump out and make revolution together at any time when they received an order.To put it bluntly, this is the demonstration that a single spark can start a prairie fire.

Now, the assault group has picked up this ripe fruit.No, under the personal leadership of Luo Yingjie and Li Hua, the former guerrillas lurking in various villages and the new members they developed immediately rushed to join the assault regiment with enthusiasm, which made the assault regiment stand in a hurry. Within ten days, there were five or six hundred more recruits.

What is even more touching is that when these people came to join the anti-Japanese team, each of them more or less brought some food, salt and the like, and some of them were brought together by several families, and they were sent together. Zhang Qingshan was very impressed. Touched: This is the common people, simple and sincere.If you are good to the people, they will give you heart and soul, but if you are bad to the people, the people would like to eat your flesh and drink your blood, who is good and who is bad, the eyes of the people are discerning.Of course, to get such enthusiastic support from the people at present, we have to thank the guerrillas Luo Yingjie for their dedication over the years. Without them, the people would not know the assault group or the Communist Party at all, so how could they support it?

(There are two situations that must be explained here. One is: the two parties are deadly rivals. In other places, once Lao Jiang’s government finds the Communists, it will definitely pursue them to the death. But in Sanqiao County and its surrounding areas This is not the case in the region. I don’t know if it is because Sanqiao County has long been in a turbulent environment, or because the local government is short of troops. Anyway, the county government basically does not care about other things except for the annual levies and miscellaneous taxes. status, there is also the bottom line for the existence of the faction that cannot exceed 300 people mentioned above. Therefore, as long as you do not publicly promote the Communist Party, they basically turn a blind eye. Of course, for their own Safe, the county seat and its suburbs are considered very solid. The second is: at this time, although the Japanese devils occupied the county seat of Sanqiao County without firing a single shot, in addition to looting a batch of urgently needed materials in the county seat, After only a few days of repairing, I couldn't wait to go to the front line for the big battle. There was no time to harm the people, and the local people themselves were in dire straits, so their enthusiasm for patriotism was naturally not as high as later. Therefore, at this time, to be honest, before the common people have seen the evil ability of the little devils not to treat us Chinese as human beings, they are not as active in fighting devils as everyone is familiar with later. And this is what happened That's for later.)

However, the excitement is exciting, but after ten days, the number of people who came to sign up for the assault regiment decreased significantly.

On the No.13 day, no one came at all.

At first, Zhang Qingshan didn't care too much. After all, the current assault regiment has more than 900 people: more than 600 recruits joined the assault regiment, plus 200 from the previous assault regiment and dozens of former guerrillas. There are already more than 900 people.As far as the current terrain of Qinglong Mountain is concerned, it can only accommodate so many people to train at most. Every day, Zhang Qingshan had to arrange one or two companies to go to the surrounding area to find a place for training. If it was not possible, he would arrange a certain number of people to go to the field for training, or go directly to repair the house or fortifications.

However, there are also advantages to having more people. For example, the speed of fortification will be faster. No. 12 days, it has been basically completed.

No. 16 days, that is, half a month after going out, Hu Yingze came back...
