Chapter XXXVIII
"I'll tell you, in five minutes, Lao Tzu will inspect the battlefield, and whoever has no blood on his bayonet will go home to see the child! Do you understand? ”
"Understood......."
"Louder! Are you! ”
"Got it!"
A resentful roar echoed through the valley, startling a few birds watching the excitement. In Zhao Shixun's knife-like eyes, the militiamen walked to the corpse on the ground with tense faces and raised their bayonets as if mechanically.
……
A few minutes later, looking at the spitting militiamen, Zhao Shixun nodded with a little satisfaction.
In fact, Zhao Shixun didn't want to do this in his heart, after all, this can be said to be the first time that the militia brigade fought against the Japanese puppet army. Everyone needs a process of adaptation, and no one is born with a howling tiger as soon as they go on the battlefield, not to mention that humans have an instinctive fear of blood and death.
But Zhao Shixun knew very well that the militia did not have time to slowly adapt. The devil sweep has begun, and if you don't let them grow up quickly, once they hit the hard stubble, they will only have to wait for the rhythm of death.
This seems a little cruel and ruthless, and even a little perverted. But the effect is definitely twice the result with half the effort. After this battle, the militia brigade will be regarded as a veteran whose blood has been seen by everyone, and this will be of great benefit to their future combat operations.
"Don't throw up! Look at your bears.
Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, whether it's a devil or a second dog, you have to pull off your body except for your underwear. Put the collected things aside first, and no one is allowed to keep them for me! ”
"Old and immortal! You are responsible for supervising and sorting the trophies, and the different models of bullet guns must be separated. There are also valuable things on the Japanese puppet army, you are responsible for collecting them for me, especially valuable things! ”
After Zhao Shixun decided to stay and temporarily lead the militia brigade, he asked the old immortal if he would like to stay with him to fight devils.
Contrary to Zhao Shixun's expectations, the old immortal agreed without saying a word. Not only that, just three days ago, in order to raise some food and meat for the militia who were intensively trained, Zhao Shixun once wanted to borrow some food from the villagers.
After the old immortal learned about it, he actually found Zhao Shixun directly, took out all the twenty-one silver dollars of his private money, and bought a lot of food for the militia brigade. It greatly improved the food of the militia brigade and strongly supported Zhao Shixun's training work.
In view of Lao Immortal's outstanding performance, Zhao Shixun decided to appoint the secretary of Lao Immortal's militia brigade. Responsible for all the food, drink, lazar and logistics and ammunition of the militia brigade in the future.
Ten minutes later, the battlefield was cleaned up. Zhao Shixun didn't dare to delay longer, and hurriedly returned to Shenquan Village with the militia brigade and the loot. As for the corpses of the Japanese puppet army with red stripes, they were thrown on the wild mountain roads to feed the wolves. This is the end that the aggressor and traitor deserve!
There was nothing wrong all the way, but on the way back to Shenquan Village, Zhao Shixun and the others unexpectedly met five young men. After careful questioning, I learned that these people were all villagers from Xiapo Village.
The Japanese puppet army entered the village to sweep away, and many families in Xiapo Village were killed. After discovering that the devil was led out of the village, some bold villagers followed out and saw the scene of the Japanese puppet army being completely annihilated by the Shenquanzhai militia brigade.
When I went back to the village to report the news, these men were in trouble at home, and they hated the devil so much. As soon as I heard that there was a team of devils fighting devils, they passed by this place and destroyed the Japanese puppet army that plagued the village. Without saying a word, they chased after them and demanded to join the army to avenge their families.
After accepting these bloody men, Zhao Shixun took the militia brigade around the mountains for a day, and only returned to Shenquan Village after making sure that there was no Japanese puppet army.
The Japanese puppet army suffered this big loss, and if it was not guaranteed, it would pursue and retaliate, and Zhao Shixun didn't want the devil to easily discover the hiding place of the militia brigade.
At noon the next day, when the militia brigade returned to Shenquan Village, the whole village was in a sensation.
Look at the dazzling array of seizures, and bundles of spears. The blind dates in Shenquan Village almost went out, and they all gathered in the courtyard of the Zhou family to watch this and that.
The new militia captain Zhao Shixun has become a legend in the hearts of the villagers.
Obediently, a group of rural buns who were shaving in the field actually won such a big battle under the leadership of Captain Zhao! Dozens of spears alone were captured, which is amazing!
In view of the good fighting in this battle, Zhao Shixun also asked the old immortal to take out some captured canned dry food for devils and distribute them to the villagers of Shenquan Village, which caused even more thunderous cheers.
On this day, the people of Shenquan Village were as happy as ...... New Year.
At night, the villagers who sent off condolences were sent away, and after the old immortal fell asleep, Zhao Shixun came to the rammed earth lookout in the village alone.
The breeze blows, and the chickens and dogs smell each other. Looking at the stars and moon in the sky, Zhao Shixun recalled the bits and pieces of this time with his hands behind his back.
The young man joined the army and returned from Japan at a young age, how high-spirited Zhao Shixun used to be. At that time, Zhao Shixun even felt that he must be a pillar of the country.
The Northeast fell, the Japanese invaders were raging, Zhao Shixun decisively refused the invitation of the traitor lackey, and resolutely determined to resist the war and save the country. However, after so many years, Zhao Shixun has become more and more confused.
Defend the land and resist the war, defend the family and the country. Zhao Shixun always demands himself with the mission and honor of a soldier. But over the years, Zhao Shixun has become more and more confused about who he is fighting for.
There are many factions within the national army, and the mountain culture is prevalent, which makes Zhao Shixun, who has always only sought to serve the country in the War of Resistance against Japan, extremely uncomfortable and has been excluded for a long time.
finally met a boss who convinced me, but he lost his ....... Now that he has fallen to this, he has unexpectedly become an out-and-out militia leader.
The devil fighters who took a group of ragged crop men over the mountains and mountains, although it was just a small fight, made Zhao Shixun feel very happy.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shixun suddenly felt that he finally didn't have to worry about who to follow, who to be loyal to, and who to be for. Beside the green mountains and green waters, these simple people are the people who need themselves the most, not those drunken dignitaries and dignitaries in the rear.
……
After the victory of the ambush in Xiapo Village, the militia brigade rested in Shenquan Village for more than ten days. For the sake of safety, Zhao Shixun sent two clever militiamen out of the village to inquire about the latest movements of the Japanese puppet army in a nearby village.
The troops retreated deep in the mountains, and what they lacked most was foreign intelligence information.
Although most of the surrounding villagers are relatively close to the militia brigade, they are willing to provide information to Zhao Shixun and them.
But there is a way to ask for others rather than for yourself, and Zhao Shixun doesn't want to blindly receive information passively. After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Shixun decided to take the initiative and sent a few militiamen to act as full-time intelligence spies to spy on intelligence in the neighborhood for a long time.
Since they are all locals, they are familiar with the terrain, customs, and various civil forces, and they have a unique advantage in intelligence gathering.
Zhao Shixun, who has studied and served in the national army for many years, knows very well the importance of intelligence work. Intelligence officers are their own eyes, their own ears.
Without intelligence support, he became blind, and Zhao Shixun, who had been fighting against Japan for many years, knew very well what this meant.
Since these militiamen had never received intelligence gathering work, in order to get them started as soon as possible, Zhao Shixun deliberately took the time to personally train them on intelligence gathering skills and recording methods for four days.
During the training, because the militia was almost entirely illiterate, it encountered an insurmountable bottleneck in the collection of intelligence records.
Literacy is not something that can be achieved overnight, and Zhao Shixun has no time to teach them literacy now.
In order to solve this problem, Zhao Shixun had an idea. Since it's too late to learn to write. Where to let them learn simple drawing and counting. As long as they can simply draw on paper the appearance of a few things like devil puppet army, rifles, machine guns and grenadiers, trucks and motorcycles, etc., and then indicate the quantity.
After learning this, they can basically be junior intelligence spies. Before sending them out, in order to reduce their chances of being discovered and give them some self-defense ability, Zhao Shixun gave the two box cannons captured in the battle to the two.
During the more than 10 days of rest, more than a dozen villagers ran to Shenquan Village one after another, asking to join the militia brigade. Most of them are villagers in this area, and after hearing about the achievements of the Shenquanzhai militia brigade in fighting devils, they came to join the army.
After the ambush in Xiapo Village, the militia brigade captured a lot, and there were officially 24 in Hanyang alone. There are 10 38 large covers, and there are 2 crooked machine guns.
In terms of ammunition, there are more than 120 grenades and more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition of various types.
With the matter, Zhao Shixun happily accepted these villagers to join, and the number of troops soon reached forty, and the strength of the militia brigade increased significantly.
However, after the increase in the number of people, a problem was immediately exposed, that is, there was not enough food and salt.
For this reason, the old immortal, who served as the secretary of the militia brigade, repeatedly approached Zhao Shixun and asked him to find a way to solve this thorny problem.
There is a way that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and Zhao Shixun certainly understands the importance of this. However, the salt is okay, and it will be solved by sending someone to go out and buy some and come back. But the food is in trouble, and there are more than 80 villages in Shenquan Village, which cannot support the growing militia force at all.
The old immortal calculated for Zhao Shixun that a militiaman needs two catties of coarse grain a day, and forty people are eighty catties of grain. That's 2,400 catties of grain a month. If you save some food and mix some wild vegetables, you will have to have at least 1,500 catties of grain a month. After all, people are iron and steel, and they can't even hold a gun when they're hungry, and they still beat hairy devils!?
Zhao Shixun knew that the summer harvest had just been harvested during this time, and the people still had some surplus grain at home, but they had no money!
You can't open your mouth and close your mouth on credit, right? Or go down the mountain to collect grain? Most of the surrounding villages have been requisitioned by the Japanese puppet army for summer rations, and the common people will not be able to survive if they come again.
