Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 128 Chapter 127, Dividing Weapons
"The Beishan Guerrilla Unit of Ping'an County..." In the headquarters meeting room, the chief took the report submitted by Political Commissar Lai, pressed his temples with some effort, and then said: "We have heard this name a lot in recent days! By the way, the special merit just issued and those reports are also related to this?"

"Yes, it is the Beishan Guerrilla Unit! Comrades in the Taiyue District now call them the Ever-Victorious Unit and the Wealth-Spreading Boys Unit! You see, they have been involved in several victories over there, and when it comes to distributing the spoils, they always take only a small portion, just enough for their own use! While distributing the spoils to friendly forces, they also hand over a large amount of the captured spoils to the organization."

"You see, in this battle, we wiped out a group of bandits, and the independent detachment that fought together also benefited from it." said the deputy chief of staff.

"Ha... they are really generous with their money! So, how should we distribute all these spoils among them? They have reported a staff of 90 people, 6 light machine guns, 5 grenade launchers, 3 box cannons, 120 Type rifles... It is obvious that there are too many guns and too few people, so there is too much equipment! But these are all spoils they captured themselves, or they just gave most of them to their brother units..."

"In my opinion, we should leave one of the two Min-3000 heavy machine guns to them, and 18 rounds of bullets for the machine guns. We should leave 10 of the 2000 box guns to them, and 386 rounds of bullets. The rest of the captured light machine guns and their matching bullets should be distributed to the independent detachment, and the Hanyang-made ones should be distributed to the independent (Qin-lai) detachment. The remaining box guns and ammunition, the Min- heavy machine guns, the Zhongzheng and their ammunition should be handed over to the th Brigade."

"The 386th Brigade has been there in every major and fierce battle, so it's time to give them some reinforcements! As for the captured spoils, um... leave 200 yuan for the guerrillas for their development, and hand over the rest! Our team is poor, and we can use these captured spoils and legal tender to buy food in the Kuomintang-controlled areas! The large livestock must be returned to the people, and of the remaining 25 war horses, leave 5 for the guerrillas, and bring the rest back and assign them to the cavalry regiment." The commander thought for a moment and made a division of the supplies.

"Commander, the Beishan guerrillas have too many excess weapons. How about expanding them? How about directly expanding them into the Ping'an Beishan County Brigade?" said the deputy chief of staff.

"You can expand the organization, but it's a matter of how to resolve the cadre issue! They will be assigned to the 129th Division, and the 129th Division has grown from more than 9100 people at the beginning to more than 5 people now. There have been many major battles in the meantime, and many troops have suffered casualties. How many veterans are left? How many cadres are left? How many people can you transfer over?" The head of the headquarters looked at the division commander.

"We have just formed an independent brigade, a supplementary regiment, and a cavalry regiment; we have combined the 769th Regiment, the independent regiment, and the Wang Detachment into the new 385th Brigade; we have combined the various basic guerrilla detachments into advance detachments, independent detachments, and independent guerrilla detachments, and we have also added a new regiment to the 386th Brigade!"

"We have formed so many troops, and most of our military and political cadres have been transferred. However, if the Beishan guerrillas are to be expanded, we can send a few veterans who are worthy of being platoon leaders to help lead the troops in battle. They can solve the problem of troops themselves."

"As for the military commanders, I know that Zhao Danian and Xing Weiguo are veterans of the Long March. They were trained in the Cadre Corps and later worked in the transport team of the 386th Brigade. They have no problem leading troops to fight and developing the masses. They are qualified to be the captains of the guerrillas."

"The decision to develop the guerrillas was made after we resisted the six-way siege in Jinzhong. The first five people in their team were all veterans! We sent them out because we valued their abilities, but the main force did not have enough room to use their talents, so we sent them out to develop the guerrillas. Now, it's just right!" said the division commander.

"In that case, there will be no problem! Immediately, in the name of the headquarters, give them an order to expand. The title is Beishan Guerrilla Team. Don't mention Ping'an County or the brigade! With the Peregrine Falcon here, too strong a regional feature is not good! As for Beishan?? Beishan is everywhere. Let the devils guess! Hahahaha... By the way, where are you going to find the platoon leader who is being sent there?"

The division commander looked at the chief's eyes, took off his glasses and wiped them, then thought: "Let their brigade solve this matter by themselves! Isn't the 386th Brigade training at the headquarters? Let Brigade Commander Chen find a way to transfer some cadres and backbones over there, and by the way, take back the weapons and ammunition given to them!" "Well, that's it, write the order! By the way, bring the order for special merit along!" The chief of the headquarters made the final decision.

The order was written quickly, signed and stamped, and handed to Political Commissar Lai to take back to the independent detachment. Then, a phone call was made to the headquarters of the 386th Brigade, and the division commander directly dictated the decision just made.

At a certain place, the brigade commander put down the phone, took off his glasses, and looked across: "Blind man, did you hear the order just now? We are about to get 22 Zhongzheng rifles, 1 Min-8, box guns, and more than rounds of ammunition. Then, who do you think is suitable to send to the Beishan guerrillas?"

"It's difficult. There's only one job for each person. Once we pull one out, we have to find another to fill the position!" Political Commissar Wang thought for a moment and said, "Zhu Xingyu is a good comrade. He can be the chief of staff. Then... Zheng Changfeng, Lu Xiaoran, Chen Changsheng, and Guo Liandong can serve as platoon leaders. However, considering that the guerrillas are still short of people, they can serve as squad leaders and be promoted later."

"Haha, since you are willing to let the five of them go, then let them go! I just hope that they can make a big splash in Ping'an County and lead a powerful team for us!"

"Isn't it famous now? They are called the Money-Spreading Boys. Isn't this reputation famous enough? However, I just hope that they can maintain their current fighting power, win more battles, and let them spread some money to us!"

"Hahaha..." They both laughed together.

The order was given, the cadres were sent out, and the brigade commander even dispatched a special agent company from the 772nd Regiment to escort the supplies back to the headquarters. However, this would take time to complete, after all, the distance was quite far, and the Japanese were still blocking the way between the headquarters and Ping'an County, so it would take some time to get through.

During the days of waiting for orders, the guerrillas and the Qinlai detachment's working group finally found out the losses of the people who were robbed by the bandits. Food and other things were difficult to supply, after all, the ordinary people did not lose too much, and most of the losses were on the landlords.

Therefore, according to the arrangement of the working group, those families who lost their livestock, brought three or five neighbors to a valley 10 miles away from Liangjia Village.
