Make the best use of things and make the best use of talents.

Liu Cheng naturally couldn't do everything himself, and as a battalion commander, it was impossible for him to keep the troops out of control for a long time.

He went to Panshi, sent some money to Qian Lu, and asked him and Sun Ping to help find some people with flexible minds and suitable for business, but they only talked about cooperation, did not mention anti-Japanese resistance, and did not tell each other their identities.

The Qian family originally started by selling salt, and now the business is not only very large, but also has long been not limited to selling salt.

Although they have settled their homes in Panshi, all counties and townships under the jurisdiction of Jilin City basically have their own businesses, ranging from grain stores and pawnshops to small restaurants and cloth villages.

It is said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will make holes, this Qian Lu's mind in business is indeed not covered, everything is clear at all, and Liu Cheng does not need to waste saliva to explain.

Before leaving, Liu Cheng explained three things to Qian Lu:

First, no matter what business you do, you can't cheat people, if you can get in touch with the Russians or the Japanese, then it's casual, and it is a skill to be able to trap them.

Second, the identity should be kept absolutely confidential, and under no circumstances should one's identity be revealed to anyone.

Third, find a way to get in touch with the Russians and buy weapons.

Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped.

The circle of people like Qian Lu must be people similar to him, although those people are not willing to join them, or even if they do, Liu Cheng does not dare to ask for them, but there is no problem and it is necessary to cooperate with them in business.

A single filament does not form a thread, and a single tree does not make a forest.

What Liu Cheng wants to do now is development, and he knows very well that it is impossible to develop just by snatching things from devils or puppet soldiers.

However, he can't say these words to Zhang Guanyi, and even these ideas that have existed from the beginning must wait until now to be gradually implemented.

He can indeed form a team alone, but after he grows stronger, he will inevitably have to face the choice of "standing in line", otherwise, not only him, but even those who follow him do not have a reasonable identity, and it will be difficult to survive in the future.

This war is going to end eventually, and once the war is over, even if he will still choose the Red Party in the end, but when it comes to that decade, what will he and the people who follow him do?

Therefore, Liu Cheng must first start by joining the guerrillas and grow up little by little.

Of course, there are some things that cannot be judged about right and wrong.

Besides, Liu Cheng didn't care about these things, all he wanted to do was to be able to play a greater role in normal warfare and kill more enemies after being reborn, and the rest of the things were not among them.

Originally, according to Liu Cheng's plan, he didn't plan to trouble the Japanese puppet army during this time.

But he didn't look for trouble, but trouble came to the door on his own initiative.

Li Laishun, commander of the 29th Brigade of the puppet army, was the commander of the 18th Brigade of the Northeast Army in Liaoyang before surrendering to the Japanese army.

Jiaohe is not far from Huadian, but Li Laishun's team happened to be sent to Tonghe when the guerrillas attacked Huadian last time, so they did not catch up.

When Fan Hua was alive before, Li Laishun was the most jealous of him, and later Fan Hua was killed by Liu Cheng, and Li Laishun was once very "grateful" to the guerrillas.

He can also be said to be loyal to the Japanese, but he does not have the ability of Fan Hua, and the troops under his command were originally second-rate, and after surrendering, they were scattered and reorganized, and they were assigned more old and weak, and although it was still a brigade, the actual number was less than 300 people, not as many as Fan Hua's 35th Regiment.

Of course, this does not include the battalions and companies that have been transferred to the surrounding counties and townships and the main transportation routes, but the troops he can use are only more than 200 people.

The most fundamental reason why Nomura Shouo did not reuse Li Laishun is that this person has no real talent at all, and he was able to mix with the brigade commander in the Northeast Army, completely relying on the nepotism of his sisters and sisters.

Although they are all the same, and even Li Laishun is better than Fan Hua in this regard, Nomura Toshio has never treated him very well.

It was no secret that the juvenile camp occupied Wudou Township, so Li Laishun soon found out.

He felt that this was an opportunity, a chance to ask for credit in front of Toshio Nomura!

In fact, Nomura Shouo sees people very accurately, this Li Laishun not only has no real skills, but also has no self-knowledge, and is a typical person with low eyes.

In his eyes, whether it is a guerrilla army, an independent division, or a juvenile battalion, it is nothing more than a group of mud-legged ordinary people who put it together, and if they change the soup without changing the medicine, they have no combat effectiveness at all, so what can they be afraid of?

So, after discovering that Nomura didn't react in any way, he moved his mind and quickly prepared to implement his plan.

In Jiaohe County, in front of the barracks of the 29th Brigade, a woman in her fifties sat on the snow, pointed to the yard and cried and scolded:

"You gang of people who kill a thousand knives...... There's just such a hen in my house...... My man is still lying on the kang and sick, there is no food, and now there are no eggs, how can you let him live......"

At this time, Li Laishun was sitting on a table, reached out and tore off a chicken leg, took a hard bite, and said to Huang Dalong, the adjutant next to him, while chewing:

"Grandma's grandson, how many days have it been? Finally got a chicken, what is this girl howling outside like crying? Go, let her get out of here, it's too late, don't say Lao Tzu shot her! ”

Huang Dalong suddenly looked embarrassed, and said in embarrassment:

"This ...... Brigade commander, let's forget it, give her some money and send it away, we caught someone's chicken after all. ”

Li Laishun glared:

"What? Give money? How can Lao Tzu be rich? The soldier's salary has not been paid for two months, where can I get her money? In spite of! Love what, you deserve to die, phew! Damn it! ”

As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted out the door:

"Go tell that girl, if you scold again, Lao Tzu will kill her!"

Huang Dalong opened his mouth, but finally turned all his words into a sigh......

Li Laishun had already told him about his plan to fight Wudou Township, but Li Laishun didn't listen to his opinion at all.

Huang Dalong is a person with real skills, he graduated from the Fengtian Lecture Martial Arts Hall seriously, but it was only because he offended his superiors that he was assigned to Li Laishun.

He was originally reluctant to surrender, but Li Laishun threatened his mother's life, and he had to give in.

For today's independent division, Huang Dalong still has a certain understanding.

Not to mention anything else, the battle of Huadian alone is enough to prove that this team has good combat effectiveness.

Although they had an absolute advantage in numbers at that time, it was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that the final result, the casualty ratio of both sides did not exceed three to one, which speaks for itself!
