Chapter 59 Establishment of Anti-Japanese Base Areas
After the loss of Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army realized that at this stage, the enemy was strong and we were weak, and it was not suitable to fight a positional offensive and defensive war with the devils, but to give full play to the strengths of the Eighth Route Army, and use guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare to constantly harass the devils, so as to eliminate the devils' vital force.
In addition, according to the judgment of the situation in front of them, the Eighth Route Army decided to establish an anti-Japanese base area behind enemy lines, and according to the instructions of the superiors, the 120th Division created an anti-Japanese base area in the northwest of Shanxi Province based on the Guanshui Mountains.
The 735th Regiment went to Lanxian to establish an anti-Japanese base area in accordance with the instructions.
Nakamura Kono, who let go of the main force of the national army, was not sent to a military court, but was only given a salary reduction. There are two reasons for not seriously dealing with Nakamura Hirono, one is that although the devils have not been able to completely eliminate the main force of the national army, their strategic goals have been achieved. Second, the 163rd Wing has been fighting for a long time, and there is no merit and hard work, so Nakamura Hirono has not been dealt with seriously.
On the other hand, Feng Yipeng came to Shimenzi Village in Lanxian County with the 735th Regiment, and there was a saying that although the 1735th Regiment had just arrived, it was no longer as difficult as when it first entered Shanxi. At this time, the 120th Division had been fighting devils in Shanxi for more than a month, and it could be regarded as having a certain mass base in Shanxi.
At the entrance of the village, Feng Yipeng once again instructed the whole group: "Everyone pay attention, our task this time is to establish a base here. The first impression we leave on the local people is very important, and it is even related to whether we can establish a foothold here in the future and successfully establish a base in this area. Therefore, after entering the village, everyone must always maintain good military appearance and military discipline. Remember not to disturb the people and not to have conflicts with the local people"
"Commander, don't worry, we will definitely keep what you said in our hearts." Someone at the bottom was the first to answer loudly.
The others replied in unison, "Please rest assured, Commander." ”
"Okay, let's go into the village now."
The 735th Regiment slowly entered Shimenzi Village.
Although Feng Yipeng and the others were already very cautious, the ordinary people who were in chaos were still a little scared when they saw the soldiers, especially those who only had some old and weak women and children in the family saw Feng Yipeng and they hurriedly closed the doors and windows and hid at home after they entered the village.
The bold young people in the village were watching Feng Yipeng and them from a distance out of curiosity.
One of the curious young men stared at Feng Yipeng, the more they looked, the more curious they became, and said to themselves: "It's strange, why do their military uniforms look so familiar??" How do I feel as if I've seen it somewhere? The young man struggled to remember where he had seen the uniform.
This man touched his chin and thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered: "By the way, these people seem to be dressed as the Eighth Route Army!" "Why does this young man know the military uniform of the Eighth Route Army? This incident dates back to more than half a month ago, when he went to his cousin's wedding. Although he and his cousin are far apart, they are indeed close to each other by blood. At that time, it happened that a unit of the Eighth Route Army was resting in his cousin's village. At that time, at my cousin's wedding, the Eighth Route Army went to help. And I still clearly remember that my cousin told me that these Eighth Route Army were different from those who were soldiers before, they never disturbed the people, let alone robbed the people's things.
Although this young man was still a little skeptical, he was much bolder, after all, his cousin would not deceive him.
While the other young people in the village were still watching from a distance, this young man pretended to be bold and walked towards Feng Yipeng and them.
The rest of the village was dumbfounded when they saw it, these people had never been in contact with the Eighth Route Army, and they would inevitably treat the Eighth Route Army and other soldiers equally, "Is this Zhang Erxi crazy??" Isn't he afraid that these soldiers will look at him unpleasantly and beat him?? "That's right, the young man's name just now is Zhang Erxi.
Not to mention that the young people in the village were surprised, even the soldiers of the 735th Regiment were very puzzled. It's just that what they don't understand is what this young man is rushing over for?? Won't it be to get rid of us?? It's not right, save him alone.
Just when both sides were in doubt, Zhang Erxi had already walked in front of Feng Yipeng.
Before Feng Yipeng could speak, Zhang Erxi took the lead in asking, "Excuse me, sir, are you the Eighth Route Army?" Although Feng Yipeng and they all have armbands, Zhang Erxi is illiterate.
Feng Yipeng was even more puzzled at this time, "That's right, that's right, we are indeed the Eighth Route Army." It's just that how do you know about the Eighth Route Army?? ”
After Feng Yipeng answered Zhang Erxi very politely, Zhang Erxi was completely relieved. At this time, Zhang Erxi pondered in his heart that since they were all the Eighth Route Army, they should not be bad, and the commander was also very polite to him just now. There is no need for other troops to pretend to be like you, if you want to steal things or bully the common people, you will already do it directly.
The villagers in the distance were even more puzzled, these soldiers actually didn't do anything to Zhang Erxi?? Looks like they're still chatting together??
After Zhang Erxi asked some more questions that he was curious about, Zhang Erxi turned around and waved at the other villagers in the distance and shouted, "Everyone come here!" The Eighth Route Army is a good person and will not harm the common people!! ”
The big guys are still a little worried, and many people still stay where they are. Only some of the very good young people in the village who played with Zhang Erxi ran over because they believed in Zhang Erxi.
Zhang Erxi took Feng Yipeng and the others to continue walking towards the village, and the other young men who ran over also began to gather around the ranks of the Eighth Route Army.
Soon, these people found that as Zhang Erxi said, these Eighth Route Army did not want to hurt them at all, and they were all very kind, and there was no trace of murder in their eyes.
These people began to be bold and took the initiative to chat with the Eighth Route Army, in fact, the most important thing was because of their inner curiosity, these ordinary people basically had no such close contact with soldiers.
When the other villagers saw such a scene from a distance, they were not only very surprised, but also gradually became bolder.
Soon, seventy or eighty percent of the entire village came out to surround the Eighth Route Army to watch the excitement.
Suddenly surrounded by so many people, Zhou Bin felt a little uncomfortable, Zhou Bin felt like a monkey in the circus. Because Feng Yipeng had instructed him not to conflict with the people before, Zhou Bin had no choice but to endure it silently. It will take some time to completely transform from a rich young master to a real soldier of the Eighth Route Army.
Feng Yipeng chatted with Zhang Erxi next to him while slowly entering the village: "What is your name this little brother??" "First of all, I have to figure out what the other person's name is, so that we can continue to talk about something else.
"Back to the sir's words, my name is Zhang Erxi, festive joy. Sir, you can just call me Erxi, so what's your name?? ”
"Me?? My name is Feng Yipeng. The Peng of the Roc Bird. By the way, little brother, you don't need to be a commander, our troops don't like this, you can just call me by my name."
"Huh?? Just call you by name?? Sir, this doesn't seem to be good. ”
"Otherwise, I think I'm older than you, and you can call me Lao Feng."
Feng Yipeng said so, but Zhang Erxi still couldn't change this mouth, and it was still the title of the chief, Feng Yipeng. Feng Yipeng saw that he really couldn't change it, so he didn't force it anymore, as long as Zhang Erxi shouted it himself.
"By the way, little brother Erxi, can you take me to your village chief's house?"
"Our village chief's house??"
Feng Yipeng nodded.
Zhang Erxi didn't agree immediately, but was a little hesitant: "This... That one... ”
"Little brother Erxi, don't worry, you just need to lead the way."
"That. Alright then, you come with me."
"Erxi little brother, wait a minute, I'll tell the others"
Feng Yipeng turned around and instructed everyone, while Zhang Erxi stood in place and waited for Feng Yipeng.
"Let's rest in place first, and the political commissar and I will go to the head of this village first, don't run around and remember not to clash with the local people."
Everyone nodded at Feng Yipeng.
Feng Yipeng was relieved that Feng Yipeng and Qin Ping went to the village chief's house under the leadership of Zhang Erxi.
Others are all resting in place.
Wang Benlei and Wang Benlin sat in place and started chatting.
"Brother, are you tired??"
"I'm okay. What about you, brother? ”
"I'm a little tired, but I can finally rest after a long day's journey."
"Brother, do you have some water left here for you to drink?"
Wang Benlei shook his head, and Wang Benlin had no choice but to say, "Then I'll drink it all myself."
Shen Yunjie hurriedly seized the opportunity to light a cigarette and smoked it beautifully, because he had been in a hurry, Shen Yunjie had never had the opportunity to smoke properly.
Zhou Bin took advantage of the opportunity to rest on the spot and hurriedly came to the innermost part of the team. He didn't want to be watched like this all the time.
However, Zhou Bin's actions were really good, and they were all seen by Li Moran, and Li Moran slowly approached Zhou Bin, "Zhou Bin, what's wrong with you??" You okay?? ”
Zhou Bin looked at Li Moran so concerned about himself and hurriedly explained, "Platoon commander, I'm fine." I'm just a little unused to the people around me staring at me all the time, and it always feels weird."
After Zhou Bin explained, Li Moran didn't continue to ask, but just said to Zhou Bin, "Then you have a good rest."
Lao Cai gently pointed at Shen Yunjie with his hand behind Shen Yunjie, Shen Yunjie turned around and looked at Lao Cai with a cigarette in his mouth. Lao Cai hesitated and whispered, "Company commander, I have an urgent need to urinate"
Shen Yunjie looked at Lao Cai with a disgusted expression, "If you are in a hurry, you go to pee, what is the use of telling me." ”
"Didn't the regiment commander tell us not to run around??"
“。。。 The head of the regiment said that it's okay not to run around, why do you still want to suffocate urine?? ”
Lao Cai looked at Shen Yunjie with a twist, Lao Cai originally wanted to talk to Shen Yunjie but was embarrassed to open his mouth.
Shen Yunjie looked at Lao Cai's uncomfortable look, "What's wrong??" You're really going to pee your pants inside."
"Company commander, can you come with me??"
Shen Yunjie was completely speechless in an instant, so he had to agree to Lao Cai to accompany him, Shen Yunjie was afraid that the ink would go down again, and Lao Cai would really pee inside his pants.
