Chapter 57: Not Going Anywhere
Chang Juan crackled and retorted, Li Ziyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Instructor Chang, Miss Chang, when did I ever dislike female soldiers?" I'm just saying that in enemy-occupied areas like ours now, female soldiers are a little inappropriate. Aren't you yourself clear about the affairs of your women? ”
"What virtues do Japanese devils have? That's a bunch of beasts that are not as good as that. When a male soldier is captured, the big deal is death. But you female soldiers were captured, so I don't need to tell you what will happen to this, right? This time, we rescued more than a dozen women who were treated as comfort women by the devils in the two strongholds of Pingchuan and Luoma, have you ever asked what kind of life they spent in the Japanese stronghold? ”
"Moreover, we are operating in enemy-occupied areas, and we must be able to fight and walk at any time, and we may have to run 180 miles in a day and a night. Male soldiers are still struggling, can you female soldiers do it? Have you ever thought about what will happen to you female soldiers who are operating in enemy-occupied areas? ”
"Let's just talk about you, some time ago, when Wangjiagou was fighting, you still had to have two soldiers to support you to barely keep up with the team. This interspersed battle, didn't you still rely on the soldiers to completely persevere? Miss Chang, it's better to be active in the eastern mountains, but once you go deep into the enemy-occupied areas, what should you do if you can't keep up with the troops and fall behind? ”
"If you are caught by the devil and a woman is picked with a bayonet, you are all lucky. If you are in the main force, no matter how many female soldiers Lao Tzu is not afraid, even if the army is exhausted, Lao Tzu will protect you. However, our troops have such a little strength, and they are operating in enemy-occupied areas under the strict control of the Japanese puppets, and some of the consequences are not something you or I can bear. ”
In fact, Li Ziyuan didn't finish his words, and he still didn't say a word. Although Chang Juan, a woman, cannot be said to be particularly beautiful, whether in terms of temperament or appearance, she can be said to be on the top. Even if you stand with a group of big girls and little daughters-in-law, you can still see the difference at a glance.
Even if there is an accident, it is difficult for her to hide it. It's not her neat short hair, but compared with those big girls and little daughters-in-law in the countryside, her middle-class appearance and absolutely different temperament will expose her true identity. Once such a woman falls into the hands of the Japanese army, I am afraid that the ending will be even more tragic.
Turning his gaze to the troops who were picking up the artillery tower, Li Ziyuan, who had been silent for a long time, said: "I can only guarantee that I will try my best to ensure the safety of you or other female soldiers, but the development and change of the situation is not something I can guarantee alone." There are some things I can only say to do my best. ”
"If the situation is critical, I will be the first to send you female soldiers away, or find a place to fortify it. Comrade Chang Juan, I hope you will understand me and cooperate with me when the time comes. Fighter planes are like life, and I don't want any more time-wasting arguments. Don't forget, you're an instructor, but you're a woman first. ”
Li Ziyuan's words fell, perhaps remembering the dozen or so women rescued in the Japanese stronghold, Chang Juan also fell silent. However, Chang Juan was asked to explain to Li Ziyuan why he needed two soldiers to keep up with the troops, and Chang Juan really couldn't say it. How can this woman talk to a man about menstruation and menstrual cramps?
I can't explain Chang Juan, who was helpless because of her stomach ache at that time. Looking at the Browning pistol handed over to her by Li Ziyuan in her hand, she was silent for a long time before she made up her mind: "I will mature myself as soon as possible and learn military skills, and I will definitely not delay the troops anymore." ”
"In the future, I will also participate in your training sessions like other fighters, and I will demand equal treatment. Train me as you train them. The fighters run a thousand meters, and I definitely don't run nine hundred meters. When I get to the battlefield, I will also leave a bullet for myself. Please rest assured that whether it is to keep the secrets of the troops or for my own sake, I will never fall into the hands of the Japanese army. ”
Chang Juan's assurance made Li Ziyuan slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything more. just lightly changed the topic: "Instructor, the dozen or so rescued women, you can send them to the prefectural committee for resettlement." Although they are the people in this neighborhood, they have experienced such an experience, and if they continue to stay here, I am afraid that there will be no way for them to live. ”
"Some of our compatriots, don't look at the devil when they rape their sisters and wives, like a turtle with a shrunken head, they don't even have the idea of trying to resist. But the women who deal with themselves are very capable, and they can't accept these women with tragic fate. ”
"They forget a lot of the time that women need the protection of men. These women should ask the comrades of the prefectural committee to help them settle down, because if they are directly allowed to go home, I am afraid that many of them will not survive. We can only save them once, but we can't save them a second time. Rumors can kill just as much. ”
"In addition, the weapons and ammunition we seized this time, in addition to the ones that were handed over and replenished for the loss, the rest of them have to find a reliable place to clear the wilderness. You are familiar with the scope of the second district, so you still need to be responsible for this matter. There is also the matter of changing the equipment of the troops, which also needs to be carried out in a hurry. ”
"This time, a large amount of cloth was seized in Pingchuan Town, which is enough to redress our troops. I mean, let's operate in enemy-occupied areas, so let's not issue uniforms yet. Although casual clothes may not look uniform, it is still more convenient when moving. In this way, two sets of civilian clothes, two sets of leggings for one person, and one military hat for each person is enough. ”
"But remember, the leggings must be fully equipped. This thing is quite useful on the battlefield. Not only can it be used as a bandage when necessary, but it can also be attached as a rope and a stretcher. In the next stage, our range of activities should still be mainly in the mountains, so we must find a way to match the leggings. It's the same with shoes, and the most expensive thing for mountain activities is shoes. ”
"I left a lot of rubber shoes for devils this time, but we still have to find a way to make some walking shoes. Shoes are special for mountain activities, so these shoes must be guaranteed. Well, the hygienist promised by the old chief doesn't know when he will be in place. ”
Li Ziyuan chattered and explained a lot of things to Chang Juan. It's not that he has a bit of a mother-in-law's mouth, in fact, he is very tired after continuous marching and fighting, which consumes a lot of physical strength and a lot of brain power. But it is obvious that there are still some Chang Juan who has not yet entered the state, and many things have not yet been touched, and Li Ziyuan can only teach her as much as possible according to her patience.
There is no problem in collecting cloth in Pingchuan Town, but in terms of changing clothes on the soldiers, they are obviously a little clueless, and where to find a way to make military uniforms for everyone, but they ignore the problem of leggings. Now that Li Ziyuan has thought about it, it doesn't matter if the military uniform is not a military uniform.
On the contrary, when you are operating in enemy-occupied areas, it is sometimes more convenient to wear casual clothes. But Li Ziyuan attaches great importance to the importance of leggings. So in addition to capturing the gaiters used by the Japanese puppet army, Li Ziyuan also asked for each of the soldiers to add a spare pair of leggings. This point is exactly what Chang Juan ignored, so he made a special admonition.
And for Li Ziyuan, after the battle of falling off the horse, he did not intend to retreat in a hurry. In addition to raising food and supplies at the drop horse, it is to let the troops adjust and rest here. As for the direction south of the stronghold of Luoma, the dense gunfire that was sounding at this time, Li Ziyuan acted as if he hadn't heard it.
Zeng Sheng, who was obviously a little itchy in his heart, wanted to ask if he was going to help. Regarding this old man's ignorance, Li Ziyuan rolled his eyes very impolitely and said: "I said brother, a fully formed battalion of the people, even to solve a squadron of the puppet army, and a squad of the Japanese army need your help, where do you put the face of your battalion commander?"
"Although our troops have strict discipline, your brother doesn't know that the three battalion commanders of your regiment are also fighting openly and secretly for the position of the absolute first main force. Your brother fought well this night, and won a lot of light for the third battalion you are in. If you don't let the first battalion commander get some face, how can he stand it? ”
"Also, you kid is not satisfied with so much equipment in this battle. Look at your company, now all of them are Jin-made 65 rifles and Czech-style, and those old sleeves have been replaced by this battle. The light machine guns were mixed up to six, and the company that Lao Tzu led in the main force back then was not as bold as you. ”
"The bullet bags on the fighters are now full, four grenades each. Do you still have to worry about the meat in people's bowls? Is this money for everyone to pay, you can't all be rowed into your own bowl. Dude, don't stretch your hands too long. Don't worry, even if the superiors take away a few machine guns, they will still leave you with some of them. ”
"Besides, continuous marching and fighting, you kid is not tired, but the soldiers are tired. Don't eat the life of cabbage, but worry about selling opium. We won't go there today, except for sending a surveillance post in the direction of Hubei County, and rest in this drop-off stronghold.
"At present, the attention of the surrounding Japanese puppet army is attracted by the main force, so let's take this opportunity to repair it and improve the food. Dude, your troops have all changed their outfits now, and my brothers are still wearing cotton clothes. ”
"Lao Guan still has a sum of money raised after confiscating Wang's iron-clad house. In addition to handing over and purchasing urgently needed materials, there is still a little family foundation left, and this time I am raising a sum of money in Luoma, and I will take it out to treat everyone. This Luoma Town is the richest area in Hudong, and there is no such shop after this village. ”
"I've already confessed to Lao Guan, let's not fire today, big meat buns and millet gruel are enough. Then buy 20 roast chickens and 20 big meat elbows, so that everyone can have a good tooth sacrifice. But there is one thing I can tell you, if anyone dares to drink, don't say that Lao Tzu let him continue to gnaw on the nest. ”
"However, the seized canned Japanese food and dry food, all the food that can be preserved, are not allowed to be touched. Bring them all back and hand them over to your battalion commander, you eat and drink spicy food here, and your brothers are still gnawing on the nest over there. When the first battalion commander solves the problem, let's pat our butts and leave. ”
Zeng Sheng, who was beaten by Li Ziyuan and had a flushed face, was dragged away by his instructor. Looking at the backs of these two guys, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said to Chang Juan: "Zeng Sheng, this guy, is a good hand in charging into battle. But other things are much worse than his instructor. ”
