Zhang Liechen and they occupied Xiaoqingshan Black Wolf Village without much effort, and since they withdrew from Huaiyin, they finally had a place to settle down after eating and sleeping in the open along the way.

"Damn, I finally have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

Looking at the houses in the cottage, the officers and men of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps who occupied the Black Wolf Village all showed knowing smiles.

Everyone was exhausted all the way to escape, and now when they see the warm and comfortable house, they can't wait to lie down and sleep for a few days and nights.

"Sir Zhang, you see which room you have your eye on, I will ask people to clean up, I am tired all the way, rest and rest first."

Zheng Gang, the battalion commander who led people to occupy the Black Wolf Village, saw that Zhang Liechen, the deputy commander, also stepped into the village with a group of staff officers, and hurriedly greeted him.

"I think that hall is good, spacious and bright." A staff officer pointed to a large wooden house and spoke.

Now that they have entered the mountains and got rid of the pursuit of the Japanese puppet army, everyone is relaxed, and now they are all ready to wait for Zhang Liechen to choose their own place to live after they finish choosing a place to live.

Compared with the elation of everyone, Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, was not happy, because as far as the eye could see, there were only dozens of civil engineering houses in the Black Wolf Village, and even if the shops were opened, there would not be many people settled.

And now they have arrived here not only the officers and soldiers of some of their troops, but also the families of the officers and soldiers and the people who followed them into the mountains, a total of tens of thousands of people.

Obviously, such a small number of houses cannot accommodate so many people, which means that some people can live in sheltered houses, while others can live in the wilderness.

If the distribution of houses is not handled well, it will not only affect the feelings between the officers and men, but will also lead to internal contradictions.

Seeing that these officers have begun to prepare to choose a house, Zhang Liechen knows that he needs to set an example.

"Adjutant Wang, set up our tent, and I'll continue to sleep in the tent." Zhang Liechen did not choose a house, but gave orders to his adjutant.

"Sir, this ......"

Adjutant Wang, who heard the order, was also stunned, he didn't live in a good house, he had to live in a tent, his face was full of doubts.

"Sir Zhang, are you not satisfied with these houses?"

Battalion commander Zheng Gang didn't expect Zhang Liechen to give such an order, so he hurriedly asked.

Everyone also looked at Zhang Liechen in puzzlement, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

Zhang Liechen smiled and said, "These houses are very good, but I think we should give them to people who need them more." ”

Zhang Liechen pointed to the wounded in the distance, there were still many patients among the people, and the infant child said: "In our most difficult time, these people have always followed us for our Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, many of them have shed blood and been wounded, and many of their relatives have died on the battlefield for the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, they have paid too much, we should not forget their dedication, what do you say?" ”

The officers looked in the direction of Zhang Liechen's finger and saw the exhausted family members and the wounded soldiers who were suffering from injuries, and they all felt that their cheeks were burning badly.

When they came here, they all patronized and thought about themselves, but they forgot about these people who needed help more, and they felt ashamed in their hearts.

"The chief is right, I think these houses should be given to those who need them more."

Director of Intelligence Liu Sheng nodded and agreed with Zhang Liechen's proposal.

"At this time, we should be in the same boat and tide over the difficulties together."

"If we don't have a house, we can build it then, but without the support of these people, then we really won't have a chance to make a comeback."

......

Everyone agreed with Zhang Liechen's approach, and respected him, and they all expressed their willingness to continue sleeping in the open and give up the house to these wounded and people.

When Zhang Liechen conveyed the order, all the officers gave up their houses, and let the wounded and sick and some women with children settle in the cottage, the people and officers and soldiers who were already preparing to camp were very moved.

They fled into the mountains with the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps just to avoid the devils, but now what the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps is doing makes them feel warm.

"Now there are not enough houses, I can only let the sick and wounded and some infirm people live in them, I hope that those who do not have houses to live in, everyone can understand our difficulties, I promise here, it will not be long before all of us can live in the house, instead of sleeping in the wilderness!"

"Good!"

Zhang Liechen's words attracted a round of applause, which made everyone's favor for Zhang Liechen and the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps increase a lot.

Zhang Liechen gave them room to the wounded and sick, the old and weak, women and children, and the lightly wounded also to the seriously wounded, with Zhang Liechen's leading role, this team that fled here, although the situation is still difficult, but it has become more united.

Zhang Liechen returned to his dilapidated tent after settling down the soldiers and civilians who arrived at Xiaoqingshan, but he didn't care about resting, and convened a meeting of officers above the company level overnight.

Now that their team has arrived in the Lunan Mountains, with the cover of the steep mountains, the Japanese puppet army can not help them for a while.

But a series of new problems were placed in front of Zhang Liechen and them, if they were not handled well, I am afraid that the situation would still become worse, making them untenable in Xiaoqingshan.

"Now we have chosen the new camp in Xiaoqingshan, which can be regarded as a place to stay, but then we are still facing many problems, I called everyone over, there is no other meaning, but also hope to brainstorm to see how we can solve these problems."

All the officers from both logistics units and combat units are now looking at Zhang Liechen, and after hearing Zhang Liechen's words, their faces became serious and they nodded one after another.

"First of all, the first problem is that if we want to gain a foothold here, then we must ensure the safety of our surroundings, otherwise everything is empty talk."

"Although we defeated the puppet army that caught up, we can't guarantee that the devil will continue to chase into the mountains unwillingly, with our current strength, it is difficult to compete with the little devil."

"So I'm going to send a company of brothers to the Black Wind Pass to guard, once I find out that the devil has entered the mountain, the task of this company brother is to fight and retreat, lead the devil to other places, and cover the safety of our Xiaoqingshan."

Zhang Liechen pointed out a location on the unfolded map, which was the only way to Xiaoqingshan, and it was also the most dangerous place.

"Sir Zhang, leave this task to me, I guarantee that the little devil will not threaten to come here." Deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming took the initiative to ask.

"Alright, I'll leave this perimeter defense task to you." Zhang Liechen nodded.

"In addition to the threat of the Japanese puppet army to us, there is also banditry, we must send people to find out the situation of bandits in the nearby area as soon as possible, and know that we will win all battles."

"I'll leave this to our intelligence department, and we will ensure that we can find out all the bandit forces around in the shortest possible time." This task was taken over by Liu Sheng, an intelligence staff officer.
