Wu Linsheng didn't know the boss's thoughts, he had deliberately paid attention to the back and forth before, thinking about how to use the terrain of the mountains if there was a war in the future.

There are not many places suitable for ambushes in this section of the journey, if you don't want the devil puppet army to get too close to this, then the best place to ambush can only be in the Foziling area, the place where Hu Hailong was robbed last time is very suitable.

"Boss, do you already have a suitable place in your heart?"

Wu Linsheng hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Deng Dongping asked first.

Sun Yumin had a smile on his face, completely devoid of the nervousness and seriousness of the imminent big war. He didn't answer Deng Dongping's question, but just asked: "When you changed your military uniforms, didn't you throw away the collar badges and cockades of the national army?" ”

Dai Cunxiang and the others hurriedly shook their heads, at that time, some soldiers ripped off their cockades and threw them away, but fortunately they were stopped, otherwise Sun Yumin would have stared dryly when he asked like this.

Seeing that everyone shook their heads, it meant that these little things were still there, which made Sun Yumin a little happy.

This battle has to be fought, and the other party can't let it know, and it can't let outsiders know that it is the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment that is fighting, after all, the team is still too small. Fighting this battle can only be pretending to be another team, and the only one who can compete with the devil puppet army in Huoshan is definitely the Lihuang County next door, Liao Lei's 21st Group Army, which is why Sun Yumin asked the collar badge and cockade and other signs of the national army are not there.

"Dongping, this first battle is very important, I want to command it personally, do you agree?"

Sun Yumin still did not answer Deng Dongping's question, but asked for his opinion, he is a battalion commander anyway, and he has to say something about taking away the command of others.

Deng Dongping nodded in agreement, he also knew that although this battle was not particularly big, compared with the 20th Division, it could not be smaller, but for Yangshupu, for this volunteer regiment with only three recruit companies, it was a battle of life and death. I am not sure that with these three recruit companies, I can wipe out all the enemies who have a devil squadron and a puppet army brigade.

Sun Yumin only roughly talked about his idea, and did not say the details of how the battle would be fought at the meeting. This is also his habit all along, Deng Dongping and they have been very accustomed to his approach, and no one asks him or confirms his task anymore, according to their thinking, Sun Yumin let his Lian Death nail in one place, that is, no matter what, he can't let the enemy take half a step; If it was an attack, they would not hesitate to take up their bayonets and rush towards the enemy's position. The order is forbidden, and no matter how difficult it is, it must be carried out, which is why the 20th Division was able to fight the remnants of the Feiyuan Division in Lanfeng.

The poplar shop in the middle of the night was pitch black, only a pile of firewood was lit at the door of the barracks, emitting a little dull yellow light to the surroundings, and the two soldiers on duty were huddled next to the fire to keep warm, but under the cold north wind, even if they were next to the fire, the two people were still a little shivering. It's already winter, and it has already snowed in previous years, only this year, even the snow head has not yet been seen, but according to this cold trend, heavy snow will fall in the next few days.

In the darkness, there was a sudden creak of opening the door, although the sound was not loud, but in this silent night, it still spread far away.

Both sentries warily raised their rifles and looked to the place where the sound had come from.

By the faint light of the fire, they saw their company commander standing like a statue in the usual assembly place, with a whistle in his mouth and a pocket watch in his hand.

Dong Wenbin pressed the bracket lightly, and a beautiful metallic sound came out, and the lid of the pocket watch popped up.

If it weren't for the sentry's campfire, and the hands of the pocket watch could be seen clearly by the faint light of the fire, in this dark night, I would really be out of sight.

The hour hand of the pocket watch was already pointing to four o'clock, and Dong Wenbin blew the whistle when he watched the second hand jump to the twelfth position.

The terrible screams suddenly sounded in the night sky of the poplar shop, and not only the third company, but also the first and second companies also sounded at the door of the barracks, followed by the movement of the soldiers who woke up from their deep sleep, from the initial panic to the gradual order, the effect of the intensive training for more than a month was very obvious.

From the time the first soldier rushed out of the barracks to the time the whole company was assembled, not a single person made a sound, only the sound of hurried footsteps, or the sound of weapons and equipment colliding with something.

This made Sun Yumin, who was standing on the playground with Deng Dongping and Liu Wenzhi, very satisfied, and the prototype of the army he wanted was already there.

The three companies were taken to the playground by the three company commanders, and in front of Sun Yumin, Deng Dong leveled the team and reported to him: "Report to the regiment commander, the first battalion of the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment has been assembled, please instruct." ”

Sun Yumin returned the salute, strode to the front of the team, and shouted, "Take a break!" ”

After hearing Sun Yumin's order, more than 500 soldiers of the three companies of the first battalion moved in unison, which made others see that their blood was boiling, and it also made Sun Yumin's heart surging.

"Brothers, are we okay with poplar shops and flat stones? Is our new village good? ”

Sun Yumin did not say those impassioned words to these recruits, and for the children from poor families, they all deeply knew and understood that it was not easy to keep this peace in this world. It can be said that today's poplar shop, today's flat stone, and the eleven new villages are definitely a paradise in the eyes of others, although it is not perfect, but it is already very good to be able to eat and dress warmly, and they will not go to luxury anything else at all.

The reason why Sun Yumin asked this sentence is that he stands in the position of these people and uses their thinking to inspire them, which is definitely much more practical than those gorgeous clichés and bad tunes, and more practical than those great truths that the country is breaking mountains and rivers.

"Brothers, we now have a new home, new neighbors and friends, and a good life, I dare to say, as long as we live like this for another two years, we will not talk about the rich side, but we will definitely be the envy of others, every family has white rice, white flour steamed buns, fish and meat to eat. There will no longer be a family huddled under a thin quilt in the cold winter, and everyone can dress warmly and live well. ”

Although Sun Yumin's words are very simple, they are definitely what these soldiers want to hear very much, looking at the soldiers below who are still standing straight in the cold wind, Liu Wenzhi They suddenly found that Sun Yumin insisted on getting out of the national army sequence, which was a very wise choice, whether it was in the teaching corps or in the 20th division, although the soldiers were all from poor backgrounds, but the mental outlook they showed was completely different. How can those soldiers who stay in the army just for one dollar a month be compared with the soldiers who carry guns to fight in order to defend their homeland and to make their families live a prosperous and happy life.

"Now, some people can't see that our life is prosperous, colluding with devils and puppet armies, coming to destroy our homeland, to bury our good life, do you say we agree?"

Sun Yumin's words were particularly loud, like a heavy drum in the night, beating in everyone's hearts, when the whole audience shouted out the three words "no answer", the silent poplar shop seemed to be suddenly awakened, and the dogs in the village seemed to suddenly come out and bark in the direction of the playground.

Almost all the houses were lit up with oil lamps, and many people put on their clothes and opened the gates to look, and more people gathered with lanterns on the side of the road in the village and into the playground.

"Okay, since they don't agree, then we'll let them have no return!" Sun Yumin's white-gloved hand pointed to the entrance of the village, and roared: "All of them, let's go!" ”

On December 24, 1938 in the lunar calendar, in the early morning of the new year, the first battalion of the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment took the first step in fighting against the Japanese invaders, and also officially opened the veil of this army that made the Japanese puppets fearful.

Dai Cunxiang's group marched at the front of the line, lighting not many torches, and in this cold north wind, the kerosene torches were blown as if they were about to be extinguished, and there was not much light at all. A type of national army yellow-green uniform, a type of devil weapons and equipment, two marching columns, in the poplar shop villagers under the road to the outside of the village, in addition to the footsteps, in addition to the dog barking, in addition to the sound of the north wind whistling, some are just the sobs of the kind villagers, everyone knows, what the late night march represents, everyone knows what these children are going to do, people also know that now the soldiers who go out from the village, there will definitely be some people who will never come back.

The old village chief, supported by Uncle Yang Dong and a young man, also stood on the side of the road and saw off the soldiers.

"Owner, it's very dangerous to go here, you must be careful and careful."

The old village chief held Sun Yumin's hand and instructed him a thousand times, which made Sun Yumin very moved.

Among the many troops he has experienced, even the teaching corps that fought to the death in Nanjing City has not won the hearts of the people as much as it is now, which has strengthened his belief more and more, coming from the people and shedding blood for the people, isn't this exactly the true portrayal of Chen Yun and Lu Man, the GC party members!

…………

The newly transferred captain of the Huoshan puppet army was transferred from Lu'an, and Long Wangba was born as a bandit, this person is really from the regular army, although Sun Yumin will not know him, but he will definitely know the person who sent this captain, Zhang Changde, the commander of the 430th Regiment of the 144th Division of the former Sichuan Army. This captain is also surnamed Zhang, named Jin Gui, which can be regarded as his own family, since Zhang Changde was transferred to the commander of the Independent Brigade of the Lu'an Emperor Cooperative Army, he has promoted many of his former subordinates, and this Zhang Jin Gui is one of them. Like him, this Zhang Jingui is also a person who does not learn and has no skills, it is entirely because Zhang Changde has attained the Tao alone, and the minions and chickens and dogs around him have ascended to heaven.

Marching and fighting is completely a rice bucket, but when it comes to pushing pai gow and betting on dice, it is a good hand.

Zhang Changde was afraid that he would not be able to shake the gang of subordinates of Long Wangba before, so he not only gave him a few assistants, but also gave him an extra squadron of puppet troops, which made the number of puppet troops in Huoshan become a reinforced brigade with five squadrons.

When the devil warrant officer came to deliver the order, he was gathering in the house with seven or eight henchmen to gamble, and a small room was made by them into a miasma, which made the devil warrant officer angry, but there was nothing he could do about him. This guy is not like Long Wangba, he is a man with his tail between his legs in front of the devil, he has been here these days, except for Ogasawara, the rest of the devils don't buy it, and even beat the devil soldiers with his own hands a few times, and it's useless to sue Ogasawara, Lu'an's devil Zhongzuo doesn't trust Zhang Changde a little, and after getting this kind of report from Ogasawara, he also reprimanded him a few times, and then he had to let his soldiers stay away from this Zhang Jingui, and try not to provoke him.

The devil warrant officer muttered a lot, but Zhang Jingui didn't understand a word, seeing that this little devil had a very bad attitude, and his luck at the gambling table was not very smooth, his nameless fire rose at once, and he jumped up and wanted to slap the devil warrant officer twice, but was hugged by Wang Youcai, who followed the devil warrant officer, and persuaded him: "Captain Zhang, Taijun came to give a combat mission on the order of the great king, if you beat him, you may provoke the great prince." ”

"What if you get angry, Ogasawara is just standing in front of him, and he can't take care of me!"

Zhang Jingui is really a little arrogant, but his arrogance does have his capital, there is Zhang Changde behind him, and the troops in his hands are five times that of the devil.

"Captain Zhang, dissipate your anger, I'll invite this Taijun away."

Wang Youcai can't let the surnamed Zhang beat the devil, otherwise as soon as he goes out of this door, the devil warrant officer will definitely sprinkle the fire on his head, and while he spoke, he took out a handful of oceans from his pocket, seven or eight of them, stuffed them into Zhang Jingui's hand, and said: "Play slowly, play slowly." ”

Seeing that the face surnamed Zhang immediately turned into a smile, Wang Youcai didn't know how disgusted he was, and after muttering a word to the warrant officer of the devil, he led him out.

"Translator Wang, you wait."

Zhang Jingui touched a few pai gow cards in his hand, and a slurred sentence came out of his mouth with a cigarette.

"Are you okay?" Although Wang Youcai was full of disgust for this person, he still had a smile on his face.

"Translator Wang, you haven't told me what the devil is doing here? What combat order was given? ”

Zhang Jingui obviously got a good hand, his eyes were about to shine, and while talking, he threw the four pai gow onto the table and shouted: "Ding three with two four, Supreme Treasure, all killed." ”

Wang Youcai saw that the cards he turned over were the supreme treasures that were difficult to encounter, and he couldn't even move his footsteps, and he was just good for this, but after having Wang Yafang, he rarely gambled. But the dog couldn't change the habit of eating, and this deck of cards immediately tickled his heart, and he even forgot to answer what Zhang Jingui said.

Zhang Jingui glanced at him, no need to guess to know that this heart had already flown to the card table, he picked up the money on the table (7) in front of him and said: "Wang Yi, let the devil go back first, you stay and play two games with your brothers." ”

Of course, this was what he wanted, and he hurriedly sent the warrant officer of the devil away, and unceremoniously joined the gambling business.

This game is all night until he heard the rooster crowing outside, Wang Youcai suddenly remembered, yesterday's order was to let Zhang Jingui gather troops early this morning, with Ogasawara into the mountain, now the sky is bright, here is still gathering crowds to gamble, if this delays the business, the devil's head will definitely chop himself, he was gambling to wake up all of a sudden, stopped Zhang Jingui, who was about to shake the dice and deal cards, and said anxiously: "You can't play anymore, Ogasawara Taijun wants you to gather troops early this morning, and follow him into the mountains to suppress bandits." ”
