The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 291 Heading to the Partition for a Meeting

The meeting held by the old village head was very simple. After briefly explaining the meeting to be held tomorrow, its location and time, he said:

"Tomorrow, bring the weapons captured by Comrade Xia Yuan. There is also a shortage of weapons and equipment in the district. I have already asked the superiors about these weapons and equipment. We can keep some of them for ourselves, and the rest will be supported by guerrillas in other villages."

Guerrillas and militias are not regular troops. They have no organization, no weapons and equipment, and no heavy firepower. A gun even far exceeds their lives.

Don't say that Xia Yuan captured more than 20 guns, even if he captured ten guns, it was a great achievement.

Because if you want to seize a gun, you often have to pay the sacrifices of three people or even more people. This is a process from scratch.

Therefore, the old village head attaches great importance to this matter. Apart from this matter, there is another matter, that is, Xia Yuan's application for joining the party. Xia Yuan has completed the application for joining the party.

When it comes to weapons and equipment, the old village chief still sighed. For now, with the batch of weapons and equipment seized by Xia Yuan, their Gaojiazhuang is the first to benefit, and some guerrillas are assigned to their own weapons and equipment, but weapons and equipment are still very scarce, and many people do not have weapons and equipment.

Except for the few guns left in Gaojia Village, the rest of the guns had to be handed over to guerrillas and militias in other villages, because the difficult anti-Japanese situation not only occurred in Gaojiazhuang, but also in several nearby villages and even the entire enemy's rear. The guerrillas and militias on the battlefield lacked weapons and equipment.

Some villages don’t even have a decent gun, and giving them one of the guns they seized can even change their current plight, and even rely on the only gun to seize more guns.So don't underestimate the more than 20 guns seized. If a village gets two guns, it can be distributed to several villages, so that fewer people will die.

The three of them carried their bags, and you and I walked along a small cart with a white-printed dirt road on the ground. A dozen guns were hidden under the straw. There is a serious lack of weapons and equipment, so these dozens of guns are particularly precious.

Watching Xia Yuan go away, the old village head took a sip of tea and murmured, "It's unusual for his family to have such awareness and vision."

Not long after they walked, they came to a mountain depression. There were incomplete round holes on both sides of the mountain depression. Half of the straw mats were half covered and half buried by the sand, only a corner was exposed, and some were completely broken, and the straw was scattered. All over the ground, one end was buried in the sand, and when the wind blew, it shook irregularly.

Early in the morning, the old village head, Xia Yuan, and Sanbao each prepared a day's worth of dry food, a pot of water, and four rounds of ammunition each, and set off from Gaojiazhuang with a small cart filled with straw. Aunt Lin Xia and others Stopped on the bridge at the entrance of the village, looked at the backs of the three people until they disappeared.

The old village head is old, and it is definitely not acceptable to push a cart. The two discussed how to go one by one, but the old village head stopped them and said, "Since the three of us are together, why don't you push the cart?" I have a share too, don't fight with me."

Xia Yuan suddenly felt inexplicably emotional, decades later Japan is waiting for time to pass, waiting for people to forget about this war, waiting for those old people who have experienced this war and suffered brilliantly in this war to die, They thought that the Chinese could forget about this war, just like this ravine, which would gradually be forgotten by people.

It is also very profoundly reflected in Bright Sword.

Healthy sports are not available in this society, but people in this era also know about military training.

Xia Yuan didn't say a word anymore, he had guessed in his heart what the old village chief wanted to do, and after saying hello to the old village chief, Xia Yuan got up and left.

The old village chief raised his head and looked at Xia Yuan thoughtfully, "No hurry, no hurry, we will act after getting instructions from the superior."

The old village chief sat on the stool, thought over and over again, and said, "The meeting ends first, Xia Yuan stays here, and I will tell you something alone."

The old village chief shook his head and said: "No, we may take joint action. The current situation is that not only the anti-Japanese situation in Gaojiazhuang has fallen into a difficult level, but also in the district. , Weapons and equipment are given priority to the regular army. There are very few weapons and equipment distributed in the district, and the district is composed of several villages. You can’t sit idly by, you have to take action, so besides the concept of tunnel warfare and the surrender of weapons and equipment, there is another more important proposal in this meeting, which is to seize weapons and equipment!”

The Jizhong area belongs to the endless plain. At first glance, there are no rolling mountains, only the uneven horizon. The rising sun sprinkles hot sunlight on the uneven plain, and what you want to see through is the hazy clouds. , floating above the clear sky, there is a fragrance in the air, without the heavy smog of later generations.

He continued: "But wouldn't this be too reckless? The tunnel has not been dug yet, so the superiors will not agree to such an action."

The smile on the old village chief's face gradually disappeared, he shook his head and said, "No need, he has already passed the test, and the authentic idea was provided by him, if he was really sent by the Japanese devils, there is no need to come here at all. "

"Well! After we leave, the village will be handed over to you and Chuanbao, and the process of tunneling must be speeded up. A letter came from the district today saying that the devils have completed the mopping up of the east, and more than a dozen villages have suffered." The old village chief sighed. road.

Everyone was thinking, and when they left, they were still thinking.

The old village head nodded and said: "Then I won't beat around the bush. That's it. You have seen the situation in Gaojia Village. Let alone the militia, even the guerrillas have only so little weapons and equipment. They can only be obtained from the devils." They were seized bit by bit, and the anti-Japanese situation was extremely difficult.”

The old village chief said: "You are more experienced than us in this regard."

Sanbao said: "Let me push for a while, you have already pushed all the way."

Uncle Zhong nodded: "Village Chief, don't worry, with me watching here, the devil will definitely not succeed."

The old village chief shook his head: "The devil's implementation of the three-light policy will not leave anyone alive. The comrades who went there came back and said that the blood flowed from the village to the entrance of the village. The devil dug a hole, and some comrades found the dead man in the hole." Burnt corpses, what a waste.”

The old village chief patted him and said: "It's one thing to be in a hurry, but we must also ensure the safety, concealment, and firmness of the tunnel. After all, the tunnel is for comrades to fight against the Japanese devils, and the Japanese devils cannot As soon as the grenade exploded, our tunnel collapsed."

Xia Yuan nodded: "Okay."

He asked: "Village chief, do you want to take advantage of the night to come and get a slap in the face from the devils?"

The old village head nodded, "Others should work hard. The Japanese devils' raid will not end like this. Sooner or later it will be our turn. We will dig the tunnel deeper, and the safety of the villagers will be improved by then."

The old village head said solemnly: "Such a scene must not be staged in Gaojiazhuang!"

Uncle Zhong stood up, with a firm light in his eyes, "Absolutely not!"

The district is still far away from Gaojiazhuang, especially in this era without transportation, it takes almost a day to reach the destination. Rao is extremely physically fit, and he really needs to push a small cart It is still difficult to catch a day's journey.

Xia Yuan nodded, picked up the water glass and took a sip, then said, "Village Chief, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The old village head smiled, and the old loyal uncle restrained his smile, and asked again: "Do you still need to try again?"

The old village chief pushed the tea to Old Zhongshu's side, and said, "As you thought, Xia Yuan's ideological consciousness is much higher than we thought."

The old loyal uncle yelled at him, calling devils worse than beasts.

Uncle Zhong thought for a while: "Village Chief, you are right, Comrade Xia Yuan has already passed the organizational test!"

Xia Yuan stood still, exhaled slightly, and said, "It's okay, I'm pushing for a while."

The next day, the sun rose as usual, and the bright red sunlight shone through the horizon on the ground, casting long, long shadows on the ground.

Everyone nodded in unison, Gao Chuanbao said decisively: "Village Chief, don't worry, we will work harder to dig the tunnel and try to dig out the tunnel in the shortest possible time."

The old village chief said: "In the past, this col was a market, and some nearby villages would sell their unnecessary things here. Gradually, there were more people. After the Japanese devils came, many villages were destroyed. Unfortunately, some villages have become barren villages, and people have been killed by devils, so there are fewer people, and the market is gone."

What else Xia Yuan wanted to say, Sanbao pulled Xia Yuan and said in a low voice: "The village head is a party member, if you compete with him, he will still be anxious with you."

Passing through the col, a gust of wind blows a cloud of sand and slaps it on the cheek.

The old loyal uncle left and returned, asking: "How is it?"

There was no one to be seen along the way, only the wind and sand as companions. The three of them wrapped a piece of dirty cloth around their heads to prevent the wind and sand from getting into their hair, and it was very difficult to clean.

Xia Yuan nodded, "Training can improve one's ability, and one can appear more comfortable in action."

After Xia Yuan was seated, the old village chief took a glass of water for Xia Yuan, put down the kettle slowly, and said, "Drink some water to moisten your throat."

When the crowd dispersed, the old village chief pointed to the vacant stool and said, "Sit down and talk."

Listening to what the old village chief said, Xia Yuan basically understood.

The old village head looked up at him, and for a moment he realized that he couldn't see through Xia Yuan, which made the old village head fall into deep thought, staring at Xia Yuan's dusty face, "Can you have such a mental awareness?" , I never thought of it, to be able to escape from the hands of devils, one must have certain skills, and this is also related to your regular training?"

Therefore, even though Xia Yuan had the ability to destroy a Japanese artillery building by himself, he did not act alone. To destroy a Japanese artillery building, someone had to pay for his actions alone. There is no doubt that the person who paid the bill was civilians living in enemy-occupied areas.

Everyone nodded in unison again, everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces, everyone was thinking about how to make the tunnel safe, concealed, and strong, so that the devil's grenade would not collapse Tunnels, even if the devils dig the tunnels, there is no way to find them all, even if they are poured with poison or water.

"Training, training."

Xia Yuan fell into deep thought, and asked again: "What is the plan?"

Uncle Zhong got up and said, "Then let's make a decision for now. You can go to the meeting tomorrow with peace of mind. I will leave the affairs of the village to me, Chuanbao, and Lin Xia."

Uncle Zhong said with a smile, "My eyes are very accurate at seeing people."

Xia Yuan nodded, "Yes, training can enhance your physical fitness and strengthen your personal skills. Running regularly can improve your endurance, so that devils can't catch up with you."

The old village chief said: "But it also reminded us that Xia Yuan was not sent by the devils, but it is not guaranteed that the Japanese devils will send some puppet troops into the village disguised as refugees in the future, so that the investigating villagers can keep their eyes open." , especially in the recent period, the devils have swept up and more people have fled."

Xia Yuanming understood, and asked, "Let me lead the team?"

Xia Yuan and Sanbao, who were pushing the cart, looked around in large numbers. You can still see the traces of the life of the previous people here, but it was buried in the sand later. After a long time, this place will gradually be forgotten by people. After death, no one will remember this place, just like this war.

Hearing this, Uncle Zhong clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes shot out anger: "Are there any survivors in more than a dozen villages!?"

During the journey from Changjin Lake to my regiment, Xia Yuan also understood a truth. The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders. Any spontaneous action is not advisable. Don't give up the overall situation because of the weak interests in front of you. Especially in the anti-Japanese base areas behind the enemy, this has been deeply confirmed.

The old village head said: "This plan still needs to be mentioned to the district. It can only be implemented after the organization agrees. In addition, I heard from the bullfrog that you often train in the village?"

Xia Yuan swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Near noon, the temperature began to become scorching hot, and gusts of wind blew sand and ravaged the Jizhong Plain. The three of them moved forward with difficulty, and stopped behind a big rock.

The old village head was well-informed, stopped the wooden cart, and said: "This area is a sandstorm area. After passing this area, it will be much better. If you persist, you will walk through this area. In front of you is Li Zhuang, we can rest in Lizhuang and have something to eat."

The two nodded, picked up the rope, and continued to move forward. Due to the particularity of this area, this area looked like a desert. The two of them had to pull in front, otherwise it would be difficult to move.
