Chapter 144: Thoughts
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the second master's sunspot took more than 110 people's subordinates, and after the third master's people left, he tossed for nearly two hours before dawn and left Wujiabao unsatisfied.
Early in the morning, Wujiapu Village, which had been chaotic all night, finally quieted down.
After realizing that the bandits had left the village, the rest of the villagers walked out of their courtyards in fear.
Because there are still many relatives of the Wu family in the village, when they learned that the bandits had left, many relatives of the Wu family quietly came to the Wu family and released the Wu family's locked up guards and subordinates.
Ben came and left, and before leaving, a group of bandits proposed to burn the Wu family to teach Wu Wengui a lesson. But for some reason, before leaving, the second master Heizi suddenly changed. Not only did they release all the meat tickets captured by the Wu family, but they also strictly ordered that the Wu family should not be set on fire.
However, for the eldest lady of the Wu family, Wu Yuhuan and Wu Wengui's new concubines, Heizi was not soft, and directly kidnapped the matter.

In the Cangshan Mountains, Wolong Mountain, as one of the few dangerous terrains in Zhongtiao Mountain, has been entrenched here for hundreds of years.
Although it has been exterminated many times, it will still be quickly occupied by the poor people who gather in the mountains and forests in troubled times.
Since occupying this Wolong Mountain with a group of anti-tax prisoners a few years ago, the one-eyed dragon Lu Baichuan has relied on his courage and means to fight the official army, the landlord, and collect the pole. It was so that he gathered more than 300 brothers in this troubled era and became a famous mountain king of this generation.
When the Nationalist Government was there, although it had encircled and suppressed the bandits in Wolong Mountain many times, due to the dangerous terrain of Wolong Mountain and the unity of the brothers, whether it was the central army or the local warlords, they were stunned and could not gnaw here.
During the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, in order to recover the decline, the Nationalist Government once pardoned these bandits and called on them to contribute to the resistance against Japan.
However, because the defeat of the national army was too miserable and too fast, Lu Baichuan originally planned to take people down the mountain to join the national army, but they heard about the defeat of the national army just a few days after they came down the mountain, and fled all the way back to the south bank of the Yellow River.
It was difficult to support it alone, and after barely collecting dozens of scattered deserters, Lu Baichuan had to return to Wolong Mountain again and continue to be the king of the mountain.
However, in order to show his sincere determination to resist Japan, Lu Baichuan still erected the banner of killing the Japanese invaders for Tianxingdao, and attacked the Japanese puppet forces of this generation many times.
Some time ago, after learning the news that the vanguard regiment ambushed the devil's transport team and annihilated hundreds of Japanese puppet troops. Ma Sanshun, the third leader of Wolong Mountain, has been persuading the one-eyed dragon Lu Baichuan hard, asking him to take his brothers down the mountain to fight devils together, and take the opportunity to take off this bandit skin.
Although this proposal was supported by many brothers in the mountains, Lu Baichuan did not agree on the spot when he learned about it, but repeatedly wanted to wait and see.
In fact, it is not that Lu Baichuan is unwilling to vote for the eighth road, but that Lu Baichuan has his own considerations.
Due to the unhappiness with Balu some time ago, and there was no one on his side who could take a shot, Lu Baichuan felt that he would not be reused even if he took the initiative to vote for Balu. Therefore, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to expand his strength, so that even if he threw eight ways, the other party would not despise his Wolongshan brothers.
……
Two days ago, the Pioneer Regiment was stationed in Shipan Village.
After sending off the special battalion and the second company, Lei Wancheng sent a messenger to the seventh company and asked the seventh company commander Zhao Shixun, instructor Zhou Yu, and deputy company commander Zhu to rush to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.
After receiving the notice, Zhao Shixun immediately asked the old immortal to stay behind to continue to supervise the training of the soldiers, and the three of his Zhou Yu pillars went straight to the regimental headquarters.
After rushing to the regiment headquarters, Zhao Shixun and the others learned that the regiment commander, political commissar and staff officer were already waiting for them in the conference room.
Following the guards to the conference room, Zhao Shixun tidied up his military appearance.
"Report! Commander of the Seventh Company, they are coming! ”
"Let them all in."
After the three of them pushed the door into the house, the regiment commander who was sitting on crutches in the room waved his hand, staff officer Xue Liqun looked at Zhao Shixun and nodded slightly expressionlessly, the first battalion commander Han Weimin's face was not very good, and he had been coughing slightly since he smiled.
When political commissar Jiang Hongfei saw the three of them entering the house, he immediately stood up enthusiastically and walked over, looked at the dusty few people and said:
"I'm tired all the way, and when this mission is over, I'll definitely find a way to get you a few horses."
"Thank you, Commissar."
When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly saluted and said.
After exchanging a few words of greetings and sitting down, political commissar Jiang Hongfei introduced Comrade Yu Zhongmin, a special commissioner of the military region who had just arrived opposite Zhao Shixun.
Commissioner Yu actually met Zhao Shixun and the others once, that is, when they were fighting the devil transport team.
"Now that we all know each other, I'm going straight to the point."
Looking at the few people in the Seventh Company, Political Commissar Jiang Hongfei pushed his glasses and continued:
"I have called you here this time because there is a very important matter that needs to be discussed. The Special Service Battalion and the Second Company were on duty, and the Third Company was responsible for filling the defensive areas of the Special Service Battalion and the Second Company, so they did not wait to attend the meeting. ”
"Before this meeting begins, I would like to introduce the specific situation of Wolong Mountain because of the commissioner."
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at the commissioner in civilian clothes.
"Comrades of the Pioneer Regiment, our troops have been in this generation for a while, and I believe that everyone knows some news about Wolong Mountain to a greater or lesser extent."
"Wolong Mountain is a steep mountain in this Zhongtiao Mountain Range near the direction of Hengqu County in Jiangxian County, and it is at the gateway to our base area, and this is the same as many mountains in Zhongtiao Mountain, there is a large bandit force."
After the defeat of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, after the ruling forces of the Nationalist Government withdrew to the south bank of the Yellow River, this generation of bandit forces of all sizes who were pardoned for the War of Resistance did not withdraw with the Kuomintang army, but continued to stay in this Zhongtiao Mountain.
In accordance with the call of the central anti-Japanese national united front and the demand for the struggle to establish and consolidate anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, the higher authorities demanded that we take the initiative to thoroughly eliminate those stubborn bandits and bullies that are extremely popular among the common people, and consolidate the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, while uniting all forces that can be united to resist Japan together. ”
"Comrades, according to our investigation, the bandits in Wolong Mountain are old bandits with relatively large influence in this generation, numbering more than 300 people, and many surrounding villages have been blackmailed by them all year round, and they belong to the bandits with relatively large public grievances.
Due to their existence and the oppression of the people, the life misery of the common people of the Zhongtiao Mountain generation has been further aggravated. This has caused considerable difficulties in the development and construction of our base areas. Therefore, if our vanguard regiment wants to gain a foothold in this Zhongtiao Mountain, we must try to solve the problem of banditry in Wolong Mountain.
I believe everyone also knows that the vast majority of people who go up the mountain to become bandits are poor people who are forced to live, and in recent times, Wolong Mountain is one of the few bandit forces that can really fight devils, and it belongs to some national righteousness that can be won over. Therefore, after learning of the latest news and studying it, the organization decided to change the previous policy of eliminating harm for the people, and hoped that our vanguard group could flexibly deal with the problem of bandits in Wolong Mountain, and specially sent me to assist you for this purpose. ”
Speaking of which, the commissioner looked at everyone and continued:
"Of course, I only conveyed the orders of my superiors to the specific implementation of which still requires the comrades to brainstorm. After all, you are the ones who have the most say in the construction of the base area. If you have any opinions, you can share them. ”
Hearing this, Lei Wancheng lit a cigarette and said:
"Everyone first talk about their thoughts, this matter is related to the survival and development of the pioneer group, I hope everyone can talk about their hearts. Staff Officer Xue, you talk about it first. ”
Seeing that the regiment commander ordered his general, Xue Liqun coughed slightly, looked at this and said:
"The anti-Japanese national united front is one of the magic weapons of our Eighth Route Army's development to this day, and it must be adhered to and carried forward. But for the bandits in Wolong Mountain, I think we have to deal with it strongly.
First of all, the location of Wolong Mountain is not far from the county seat of Jiangxian County, where the Japanese army is entrenched, and the geographical location is very special, so it can be said that it is a choke point for entering and leaving our base area. Although the Japanese puppet army did not launch a large-scale sweep during this time, it was absolutely unacceptable for us to put our lives under the control of a gang of bandits.
Although we and the bandits in Wolong Mountain have been safe and sound in the river for some time, it is an indisputable fact that the control areas of our two sides have overlapped. Even if there is no conflict now, what about later? In the event of a conflict between us, and the devils take advantage of the situation, the safety of our base area will not be quite dangerous. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Liqun looked at Commissioner Yu and said:
"Comrade Commissioner, as far as I know, after the Japanese occupied the Nakajo Mountain area, there were already quite a few bandits who first raised the banner of resistance against Japan, and then became accomplices of the Japanese army's attack on the liberated areas. What does this mean, it shows that the loyalty of these old bandits is very problematic. And I would also like to say that the armed bandits should be co-opted, especially those who have accumulated old bandits. If their discipline is not good, it will easily tarnish the reputation of our Eighth Route Army and bring about a considerable negative impact on the development of our base areas. ”
"Staff Officer Xue, tell me your specific opinion."
After carefully recording it in the notebook, political commissar Jiang Hongfei asked seriously.
"My opinion is clear, we can't just take in bandits. Even if we need to integrate the anti-Japanese forces, I think we should first crack down on the bandits in Wolong Mountain, annihilate the diehards among them, and then co-opt the goodness of the coerced bandits. This will not only expand our ranks and expand our base areas, but also purify our ranks and prevent those bandits from having the opportunity to tarnish the reputation and discipline of the Eighth Route Army. ”
"Commander of the regiment, political commissar, special commissioner, my speech is over."
