"Tianliu, Commander Li and the captain have called you to a meeting!"

Blinking his eyes, Mo Tianliu, who was wiping his 20-shot pistol with a piece of cloth, looked at Sha Bangcui standing in front of him suspiciously, and shouted at Sha Bangcui very suspiciously: "Bang mallet, have you heard something wrong?" Commander Li and the big boss asked me to go to a meeting? ”

Nodding vigorously, Sha Bangcui replied without hesitation: "Can't be wrong!" It was Commander Li and the captain who called your name together, and also called me in case of ringing, saying that what you want to drive...... All...... Zhuge Liang's will? ”

Twenty rounds of Dezao pistol, which was wiped cleanly in his hand, was pinned to his waist, and Mo Tianliu quickly stood up: "Zhuge Liang's will?" And called you, me, and what if it rings? What does that mean? As the old saying goes, there are three stinkers and one Zhuge Liang, is this treating the three of us as stinkers? Does this Eighth Route Army still have this problem of burying people? ”

"How do I know that? It doesn't matter if he's a leatherman or not, Tianliu, let's go quickly, shall we? In case of ringing, I will go to the ...... long ago."

Snorted a little unconvinced, Mo Tianliu followed behind Sha Bangcui and walked straight towards the main house in the front yard of the rich man's house. There were still more than ten steps away from the door of the room, and Mo Tianliu had already opened his voice and shouted: "Commander Li, the big boss, the two leathermen and me, should we squat in the corner of the house or sit on the door frame?" ”

Looking at Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangcui who were striding forward inexplicably, the chestnut group was surprised to meet Mo Tianliu's words: "What cobbler?" What is the allusion to squatting in the corner of the house and sitting on the door frame? ”

Before the words came out, Wan Yixiang, who had already sat down in the main room, suddenly stood up and whispered to the chestnut group: "Captain, I don't know the rules...... I'll sit at the door......"

Gou Da, who had just grabbed the sound of the person who was about to move his steps, had just gotten a machine gun and had a happy look on his face, but he shouted suspiciously: "Ring, what are you making a fuss about?" What do you not know the rules and do not know the rules, and you have to sit at the door? ”

Drooping his head, he whispered in case of a loud voice: "In the traders, craftsmen, and the kings of the mountains on the ground in southern Hebei, the newcomers can only squat in the corner of the house and sit on the threshold when they want to discuss matters with the master....... I've forgotten this old rule for a while, and I won't dare to ...... next time."

Suddenly tugged on Wan Yi's arm, but Gou Da forced Wan Yi to sit down again: "We don't have these rules in the Eighth Route Army, you just sit down!" Commander Li and the captain called the three of you local comrades to come to the meeting, just because you are familiar with the surrounding terrain, customs, and customs, and some things that cannot be seen on the map, so I still have to ask you? ”

As if figuring out what Mo Tianliu meant by the cobbler, Li Jiashun also smiled at Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangcui Hong: "Tianliu, there are a lot of things you are thinking about in your head?" Our Zhuge Liang meeting of the Eighth Route Army is to ask everyone to put forward their own opinions on the battle plan and try to improve our battle plan as much as possible, so as to ensure that we win the battle! At such a Zhuge Liang meeting, every comrade of ours is Zhuge Liang, not the three stinkers you pondered in your head, beating Zhuge Liang! ”

In the burst of laughter, Mo Tianliu, who was broken by Li Jiashun's words, suddenly turned red, and kicked Sha Bangcui in the leg who was stupid and laughing: "You can't pass on the word with a mallet......

Holding his calf that was kicked by Mo Tianliu, Sha Bangcui grinned and shouted: "I don't know about this......"

Raising his hand and beckoning Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangcui, who were standing outside the door with big eyes, into the house, Li Jiashun said to the people who stopped laughing: "Okay, everyone laugh, the atmosphere of the venue is also lively, then let's have a meeting!" Let's summarize our current situation first - Director of Logistics, since ancient times, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, can you talk about it first? ”

took out a small book from his jacket pocket, and the logistics director stood up in response, and said aloud according to the records on the small book: "Since we occupied the He family's big set, we have purchased a total of nearly two thousand catties of various grains, plus two thousand catties of grain found from the grain cellar of the rich man, plus the support of the martial arts teams everywhere, if we save a little, it is enough for us to eat for three or four months." In other words, in a short period of time, we will not be able to make a mistake on the issue of food! The captured guns and ammunition can basically be counted so that each comrade in our large army can have one gun, and the bullets can also guarantee ten rounds per person, and the experienced veteran comrades can give priority to ensuring twenty rounds! There are still some medicinal materials sent by the comrades of the Qingle County Martial Arts Team for the treatment of the wounded, but these medicinal materials are all herbal medicines, and there is still a shortage of medicinal cotton, gauze and various Western medicines, so we have to find a way to hoard a batch of ......."

Listening carefully to the report of the director of logistics, Li Jiashun nodded slightly from time to time, and it was not until the director of logistics finished the report that he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay...... Our large army went to the southern Hebei region to establish a base behind enemy lines, and from being poor and empty-handed, to now having food in their stomachs and guns and ammunition in their hands, they have finally taken a big step forward! This is a good start, and we can be regarded as a stage victory! Everyone applauds and celebrates! ”

In the warm applause, the smile on Li Jiashun's face gradually faded. When the applause gradually stopped, Li Jiashun said in a deep voice: "To have a phased victory, this is naturally an achievement, but we have a lot of difficulties at the moment!" We have food in our stomachs and bullets in our guns, but we have no foundation under our feet, which is a big problem! ”

Nodding approvingly, a cadre of the Eighth Route Army said, "This question that Commander Li said is indeed not to be sloppy!" We are now fighting behind enemy lines, if we don't have a reliable place to stay, the troops can't rest, the wounded can't be treated, even if we get some belongings, then we don't dare to take them away - it's difficult to carry heavy burdens under our feet, as long as our speed of movement is slow, it will be easy to be bitten by devils! When the time comes, I will fight to the death with the devil for a few times in the positional battle, I am afraid that our 300 or so people will have to fight in a blink of an eye, this is in the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression, but there is a bloody lesson! ”

As if out of habit, he touched the huge scar on his head, Li Jiashun said in a deep voice: "The words are good, but we are new to the southern Hebei region, although many comrades have been sent to various counties to form anti-Japanese military engineering teams, but after all, the time is still short, and there are not many people who can stand on their feet, and even fewer who can better understand the local situation!" It's like before we seized the He family's big set, if Comrade Mo Tianliu hadn't explained the situation we didn't understand in one sentence, I'm afraid we would have to starve and freeze in the place that is known as not staying in winter....... Speaking of which, the war staff officer, how is the map of the southern Hebei region drawn? Let's talk nonsense here with empty teeth and white teeth, there is no map to compare and compare, and the people who say and listen are confused! ”

As soon as the words fell, the combat staff officer sitting on the side suddenly stood up with a red face: "Commander Li, the original map in our hands is all drawn out of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is not a little wrong with the actual terrain, in fact, it is useless at all. Although many comrades of the armed forces have reported back the topographical information they have these days, they still want to form a map....... Commander Li, this is a meticulous job, and if we can draw a similar appearance within half a year, it must be considered our luck! ”

Frowning, Li Jiashun shook his head fiercely: "This can't be done!" We didn't know each other well, and we didn't even have a rough map, so we had to be blind when we marched and fought—we couldn't always rely on our comrades from the reconnaissance office to get ahead of us, right? Just a few days ago, I fought a few encounters with the devils, and the comrades of the reconnaissance office who gave the road to the large army in front sacrificed more than a dozen! Those are all old comrades who have walked 25,000 miles on the Long March......"

opened his mouth timidly, and Wan Yixiang, who was sitting on the side, hesitated for a while before answering Li Jiashun's words: "Commander Li, I'm ...... I know someone who has a map in his hand......"

With a roll of his eyes, Mo Tianliu didn't wait for the ringing to finish speaking, and he had already preemptively said: "As soon as it sounds, you are talking about Zhu Huohuo, who feeds the horses at the Bafang Inn in Qingle County, right?" But I've always heard people say that this Zhu Huohuo didn't lead a few camels to pull goods for people to run orders, and the farthest ones ran outside the customs, relying on a geographical map handed down by the camel gang in his hand! But this person is just because he gambled and lost all his belongings to raise horses at the Bafang Inn to make a living, who knows if the picture in his hand is still there? Maybe they all told him to go out...... Besides, even if we go to Qingle County now, we can still get that geographical map, it is far from water that can't quench our thirst, and now we are not in a hurry to find a place where hundreds of people can stay? ”

Staring at Mo Tianliu's eyebrows, Li Jiashun exchanged glances with the chestnut group who had never spoken, and then said to Mo Tianliu with a smile: "Comrade Tianliu, what you said is also reasonable, let's do things and always prioritize." So...... In your opinion, do we have a way to find water nearby to quench our thirst? ”

Grabbing the teapot and bowl on the table, Mo Tianliu reached out and dipped some tea in the tea bowl, and drew a few lines between the teapots and bowls scattered on the table: "This teabowl is the He family's big set, the teapot is Qingle County, and this ......"

Turning over his hand and pulling out the twenty-shot pistol pinned to his waist, Mo Tianliu put the pistol on the table steadily: "This place ...... It's Tujia Village! Commander Li, if we want to find a place where the brigade can stay, it has to be Tujia Village! ”

Looking at the formation that Mo Tianliu put on the table with interest, Li Jiashun just pondered for a moment, and immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to the position where Mo Tianliu placed the pistol: "Tianliu, tell me first, why do we want to pull the big army to Tujia Village?" ”

"Tujia Village Qingle County is far away, the devil just wants to attack Tujia Village, it takes a long time to take the road, especially on the way to pass through several villages, we just need to arrange people to keep an eye in those villages, and then use the message tree to report the news, the devil has not yet arrived in Tujia Village, we have already packed up our things. When the time comes, if you want to fight or leave, you can let us! ”

"Hmm...... But that's the way? What if the devil blocks the road? ”

"Isn't there a small road behind Tujia Village that can lead to Hejia Daji? Although a wooden bridge is called for us to blow up, as long as we want to rebuild the bridge, then we can have a road in front and back, no matter where the devil comes from, we can have a way to go! Besides, in the deep mountains and old forests around Tujia Village, we can always find some paths that others don't know. Even if the devil sends troops to close the mountain, as long as we drill into the forest, the devil will have no way to take us! ”

"What about the mass base of Tujia Village?"

"What's that? What chicken? ”

"Is it that the folks of Tujia Village are looking forward to our Eighth Route Army in their hearts, and do they agree with us fighting devils?"

"Just a few days ago, the folks of Tujia Village fought devils with us! Commander Li, the villagers in Tujia Village are all practicing families, and there are many red-faced men, so they can't bear to be bullied by devils, and they are full of anger in their hearts! As long as we don't bully the villagers and can fight devils, the villagers in Tujia Village will definitely be towards us! ”

Nodding slightly, Li Jiashun turned his head to look at the group of chestnuts sitting beside him: "Old chestnut, Tianliu has said so much about his opinion, what do you think?" ”

Without waiting for the chestnut group to speak, from the shadow wall in front of the door of the He family's house, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army rushed out and rushed to the door of the main house: "Report to Commander Li, devil...... The devil came out to grab food! ”
