The mountain wind is gusting, and the trees are swaying. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the southern foot of Donghua Mountain, which is about 180 kilometers away from the Jinggangshan base area, two teams led by Wang Huchen, chief of staff of the instructor, climbed up along the familiar mountain road, and were still dozens of meters away from the century-old ginkgo trees like a canopy on the mountainside.

It didn't take long for five old brothers with loaded guns to run down the hill and lined up in front of Wang Huchen, and excitedly saluted a dignified military salute.

Wang Huchen went up and patted this one's shoulder, hammered that one's chest, and after a long period of greetings, he pulled Chen Min, the third battalion commander who had recovered from his injuries, to the front first:

"Oh, you've gained weight, your face is red, and you seem to be recovering well."

Chen Minxian, who is also a fellow villager in Shandong, laughed: "I don't have to do anything in the past two months, I spend all my time recuperating from my injuries, and I eat either wild boar or roe deer meat every day, and from time to time I can catch a few baskets of delicious whitebait from the stream, can I not gain weight?" ”

"Look at it, none of our brothers are thin, most of the one hundred and twenty-two wounded have recovered, and only seven seriously injured brothers are left who can't move around, but they can all drink wine and eat meat, and they can get out of bed and pee on their own, haha!"

Wang Huchen was also happy: "That's good, that's good!" The teacher was most worried about the brothers' injuries, and if he knew that the brothers were recovering so well, he wouldn't know how happy he would be, haha! ”

"Let's go, talk as we go, we have to have a meeting when we get to the station."

"Oops! This is a bit troublesome, the party representative and the commander of the third company each took a group of brothers to hunt in the mountains in the northeast, and the men of Uncle Pan's family also followed, and said that they would carry more prey than anyone else, and it seemed that at least they could not come back until it was dark, but there must be something good to eat tonight, haha! ”

Chen Min first accompanied Wang Huchen as he walked, and the brothers behind him joked with each other in twos and threes, and the long-lost laughter continued until the Taoist temple on the mountain did not stop.

Wang Huchen wiped his sweat and came to the edge of the familiar high platform to look around: "It's not simple!" Thousands of acres of land have been opened up above the mountain road in the east and on the gentle slope in the south, whether it is planting bread grain or sweet potatoes, and it is not a problem to feed thousands of people and horses every year. ”

"Everyone is idle and has nothing to do, and when your hands are itchy, you will go to open up the wasteland and farm, who let us all come from a village family, haha!" Chen Minxian laughed proudly.

More than 30 brothers who stayed in the Taoist temple to recuperate heard the movement and ran out one after another, and more than 10 of them were still on self-made crutches, and when they saw Wang Huchen, the chief of staff, and the 12 brothers in the work team who had not been seen for a long time, they were so excited that they burst into tears.

Wang Huchen and the members of the work team hurriedly went up to ask for warmth, and carefully helped the seriously injured brothers into the courtyard, and sat around the two stone tables under the towering ancient trees, asking each other about the current situation affectionately.

Wang Huchen, who has a delicate mind and a keen eye, has come to the conclusion that in the past two months, more than 100 brothers have not carried out restorative training in strict accordance with the plan, and it is not yet known whether political and ideological education and cultural study have been carried out.

Considering that the brothers were heroically injured and unable to walk, it was very rare to be able to recover to this extent, so Wang Huchen quietly dispelled the idea of accountability, opened his heart, and talked with the brothers freely.

……

……

When Uncle Pan's family, who lived in the west, heard that Chief of Staff Wang was coming, they immediately set out with their whole family, and sent peanuts, wild fruits, and several kinds of elaborate dried meat in bamboo baskets and dustpans.

After Wang Huchen greeted the ladies of the Pan family, he helped Uncle Pan to the stone bench, took out a cigarette and handed it over, and then lit a fire for Uncle Pan:

"Uncle, your family is terrible! After more than two months of teaching our tutor, he can now read books and newspapers, and under the guidance of Master Zheng, his marksmanship has greatly improved, and now he is one of the best sharpshooters in the guard battalion! ”

Uncle Pan was excited, his eyes widened and he asked, "That bastard boy really has this ability?" You're not going to make me happy, are you? ”

Wang Huchen laughed: "Uncle, what I told you is the truth, you have raised a good son!" I remember that when Pan Yan first left here, he didn't know how to ride a horse, right? Now he is galloping at will on a horse, shooting where to fight, and his progress is faster than anyone else, even Master Zheng said that Panyan is making rapid progress, and if it goes on like this, it won't take two years, and he can go out to lead troops to fight in a year. ”

"That's good, that's good! Thanks to you for helping him, thanks to him for meeting a good master! Uncle Pan smiled very happily, and his yellow teeth were exposed.

Wang Huchen asked, "Uncle, our brothers didn't trouble you, did they?" ”

Uncle Pan waved his hand again and again: "Where will you cause me trouble?" It's too late for my family to be grateful! ”

"Your brother's injuries are just a little better, so go and help us do this and that, in the past month, not only opened thousands of acres of land, but also repaired the entire Taoist temple, and cut wood to build two wooden buildings on the east side of the Taoist temple, almost all the villagers within a radius of dozens of miles have come to see it, and all of them admire you."

"If it weren't for your Xiao Xu instructor who was unwilling to recruit new soldiers, at least fifty Hakka teenagers would have to follow you to learn their skills."

Wang Huchen was slightly stunned, and was about to ask, but Chen Minxian on the side hurriedly explained: "Our party group has discussed this matter, and finally unanimously made a decision not to recruit new recruits for the time being when the wounded have not yet recovered." ”

"Then there is the Hakka etiquette is different from ours, if you accept their young men, you have to give a decent return gift, no one dares to do it without the approval of the division."

"The third concern is that even if we recruit new soldiers, we will not be able to conduct military training for a while in the current situation, so we simply use this time to hunt, practice marksmanship, and by the way, conduct a rough survey of the surrounding mountains and rivers for dozens of kilometers."

"At present, we have drawn up a map, and we are constantly adding streams and roads to prepare for the establishment of base areas in the future."

Wang Huchen was immediately relieved after hearing this, and the uncle on the steering wheel asked politely: "Uncle, are there She people like you for dozens of miles around?" How many families live in this mountain? ”

Uncle Pan replied while thinking: "This mountain is inhabited by our She people, and there are about dozens of people like our Pan family, but how many people have never counted......

"According to the calculation of the family name, the Pan family, the Lan family, the Lei family, and the Zhong family should have three or five hundred people in each of the four major surnames, and the Gu family, the Li family, and the Wu family add up, and there are also five or six hundred people, all of whom live in the mountains, and those who are close come and go from time to time, and it is rare to see each other all year round when they are far away, and they will only get together when they meet weddings and funerals, and many people may not be able to be present."

Wang Huchen finally understood how difficult it was to open up a revolutionary base in this mountain, and it was better to say that the source of recruits was really limited, and Xu Shaoming and Chen Minxian's response was right, completely out of consideration of the actual situation, and no one could be harsh.

……

……

In the evening, more than 70 brothers who had gone out hunting were so surprised to see Wang Huchen that they saluted and hugged him, and they were so excited that Wang Huchen and the brothers in the two teams were all drunk, and the meeting scheduled for the evening had to be postponed until noon the next day.

At the meeting attended by all officers and men, Wang Huchen, on behalf of the division's party committee, announced the number and series of appointments of the Fourth Regiment:

Chen Minxian, the former commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment, was promoted to the commander of the 4th Regiment, Xu Shaoming, a member of the Party Committee of the division, served as the political commissar of the 4th Regiment, and Xiao Ying, the former deputy commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, was promoted to deputy commander; Nine officers, including Lu Xiangrong, the former commander of the first company, were promoted to the chief and deputy commanders of the three infantry battalions and party representatives.

The party branch of the Fourth Regiment of the instructor was also announced.

Chief of Staff Wang Huchen acted as secretary of the branch, Xu Shaoming served as deputy secretary, Chen Minxian and four other comrades served as members, and political officer Liu Simin was elected director of the Soldiers' Committee.

Most of the 130 officers and men left behind were promoted to company platoon commanders and squad leaders, except for seven who were disabled.

Since then, the Fourth Regiment of Instructors has been formally established, and although it is still an empty shelf, all the officers and men are in high spirits and full of confidence, and they have expressed that they will never fail to live up to the expectations of the division's party committee and Division Commander Zheng, and will surely become a veritable main force within half a year!
