It is early summer in the blink of an eye, and the crops sown in spring on Sanxing Island are growing vigorously, corn, soybeans, millet, rice, tall and short, each showing its own style.

All kinds of vegetables have already been eaten, and after eating a stubble, another stubble is sown. Nineteen points let the production team members see hope.

After absorbing the two small gangs of Yu Erlai and He Lian, the number of Xianghu brigade has reached more than 30 people. How to train these farmers into soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who can fight is a very difficult task.

Xu Sheng accompanied the honor of the new political commissar and read out the decision of the Northwest Administration to officially appoint Wei Laoda as the captain of the Xianghu Brigade. Monkey stepped down as political commissar, and He Zhuqing temporarily stayed on Sanxing Island to help train the Xianghu Brigade.

Zhu Qing made a slight adjustment to the Heart Sutra of Phaselessness and taught it to Jingzhi, and Jingzhi's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. The monkey trains her marksmanship, and she learns it very carefully.

She is literate and good at martial arts and marksmanship. Honor and Monkey discussed sending her to study at the Executive Office, and she was very happy, but she wanted to go with Monkey Zhuqing. Honor is not reluctant.

Monkeys and bamboos roam the island and enjoy the idyllic scenery. At this time, Boss Wei came quietly, and the monkey saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he said: "Brother Wei, I think you seem to have something to say, let's say it, we are comrades-in-arms and brothers, and we have nothing to say." ”

Boss Wei said: "It's nothing, just go around." ”

Zhu Qing said: "Brother Wei is going to whisper to Brother Monkey?" Then I'll go away. ”

Boss Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no! Where does the girl say! My boss Wei has nothing to hide from my sister. ”

The monkey said, "Then we'll just wander around." ”

Boss Wei said: "But ......" is another slurring look.

The monkey smiled: "What's wrong?" Brother Wei, this is not your temper, haven't you always been very cheerful? What's going on? Just say! ”

Boss Wei said: "There is a sentence that has been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I have been hesitating, to say it or not to say it?" I don't say it, no one in the world knows. Don't say it, I feel sorry for you. I also feel that I am not open enough to my brother. ”

Zhu Qing said: "It seems that this is a very important sentence. ”

Boss Wei said: "It's really important to me, otherwise why can't I keep it in my heart?" ”

The monkey said, "Brother, tell me, what's the matter?" ”

Boss Wei said: "Brother, it wasn't until you were no longer the political commissar of the Xianghu Brigade that I decided that I couldn't say this to you." Brother, sister, it is all your credit to recapture the three star islands from the hands of the devils. I'm just a small soldier of yours.

"You have arranged to plant the land on Sanxing Island again, and you have not only brought seeds, but also military rations.

"You have also developed more than 20 new team members, and now there are more than 30 people on Sanxing Island, like a team.

"What credit do I have for these things? Using my brain, mouth, and hands is not my share.

"Everything is on the right track on Sanxing Island, brother, you come to be the captain of this brigade, and I am also convinced. But you suddenly retired and stopped being a commissar. I know that you are sincerely anti-Japanese, and the word fame and fortune is fleeting.

"And me? Any idea what's on my mind? I think that when I take back Sanxing Island, I will try to drive you away, and if you compete with me for the position of the owner, I will kill you!

"I really convince you to deal with the matter of Woniu Island, you have tried all means to drive them back without killing or hurting a single person, and quelling the internal strife on Woniu Island without killing or wounding a single person.

"This incident turned Woniu Island from an enemy into a friend, and took back a gang controlled by devils back into the hands of the Chinese."

Brother, sister, compared to you, my Boss Wei, is simply a villain......" Boss Wei's eyes welled up with tears, and he was speechless with sadness.

The monkey looked at Zhu Qing, held Boss Wei's hands, and said emotionally: "Big brother, if you tell this matter, it means that you are our good big brother and good comrade." You have become an open-minded gentleman. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Brother Wei, people will have some careful thoughts. There are not many people who can make it difficult to sleep and eat with a bad thought for themselves. At this point, your realm is much higher than ours. ”

Boss Wei raised his huge palm, wiped his eyes, and said: "I have been a bandit on Sanxing Island for twenty years, and I have all the vicious and bad intentions of the bandits. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Big brother doesn't have to blame himself too much. ”

Boss Wei said: "Okay, I feel much better when I say this." ”

The monkey said, "There is still a long way to go to be able to bring this one well." Big brother, you have a lot of guts on your shoulders. From your conversation today, I feel that you will be a good captain with all your heart. ”

Boss Wei said, "Brother, I'm in my forties. If there is a young man like you in the ranks, I will give him the position of captain, and I will be a veteran. ”

The monkey said, "Big brother, don't think so. You should think about how to expand our team, there are only more than 30 of us, and Sister Zhuqing and I may have to leave that day when we receive the task. In this way, it is still difficult to deal with the situation. ”

Boss Wei said, "I'm also anxious about this. ”

Zhu Qing said: "I have an idea. ”

Boss Wei said, "What good idea does the sister have?" ”

"The Zhuqing squad is trained exactly like the regular troops, and it is more stringent than the regular troops," Zhu Qing said. We can organize some backbone elements to go to the Zhuqing team for a day or two to observe. Look at how they train, it's much better than we're talking about here. ”

The monkey said, "That's a good way." Which backbone elements, feel the real style of the Eighth Route Army. Come back and expand the impact, we're getting a lot closer in training. ”

Boss Wei said: "It's still a good girl's head, this is really a good way." I agree. ”

At this time, the honor of the political commissar also turned around, and Lao Yuan shouted: "It's so lively." What to talk about? ”

The monkey said, "Commissar, come on, I have a plan to report to you."

The commissar said: "What plan? ”

Zhu Qing told him about his plan to go to Zhuqing to observe. The political commissar clapped his hands: "Good idea, let's immediately select ten people, rush to Zhuqingdao tonight, and start observing tomorrow from getting up." Come back tomorrow night. Hold a meeting to summarize and then develop our training plan.

Everyone was in the vegetable garden, and they agreed on the people to observe and many details.

The political commissar said: "We will first train these 30 people well, and train from among them 15 to 20 members who are politically firm and reliable, and who have a certain degree of ability, as the backbone. ”

The monkey said: "Speaking of expanding the team, I have always had a thought in my heart, that is, whether I can take Woniu Island over and become a detachment of the Xianghu Brigade. ”

Boss Wei said, "Is this possible? Niu Fei is not an ordinary person. ”

The monkey said: "It was impossible before we fought him, and by fighting them, it could have arisen." ”

Boss Wei said: "We will discuss this matter later, and now organize people to go to Zhuqingdao." ”
