Chapter 33 Forming a Resident Village-based Squad
The news about the extermination of the Yingziyan horse bandits also began to spread in the territory of Yushe as the remnants of the bandits in the mountains descended one after another. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe people who are most happy about the demise of this gang of bandits are undoubtedly those who have been bullied.
Since this gang of horse bandits came to Yushe, they have also committed heinous crimes over the years. Even if there are countless people who curse them for not dying well, they finally know that the curse will not curse them. But this time, the bandits are finally dead.
Although many people are curious about where this 'Hutou Mountain' is, some people feel that the unknown armed forces that attacked Yingziyan at night should be an anti-Japanese war armed force active in the territory of Yushe, at least they hate the little devils.
The reason is very simple, the reason why the gang of horse bandits in Yingziyan was exterminated was that they were ready to accept the recruitment of the little devils. This reason sounds a little ridiculous, but after the news spread, many bandits felt that they should be careful.
During this time, from time to time, some people gave them the benefits of accepting the little devil's recruitment, and there were indeed many bandits who were moved. After all, every day in the mountains is king, and after a long time, I feel that life is too boring.
But if you accept Zhao'an, for many bandit leaders, you can also serve as soldiers and eat imperial food, and even stay in the bustling city every day. Isn't this the life they once longed for?
When all parties were closely inquiring about who the 'Iron Tiger' was, the 3rd Company and the 1st Battalion received the spoils handed over by Zhao Tiehu at the same time. Looking at the war horses and supplies brought in, Zhu Chengxi and Qian Weizhong were sincerely happy.
Even Zhu Chengxi said in disbelief: "Just with your thirty or so people, you really killed Yingziyan?" ”
'Yes, company commander! These things were all obtained from Yingziyan, and we kept some of them, and these were handed over to the company by the captain. The remaining batch of supplies has been escorted to the battalion headquarters today. ’
Listening to the return of the soldiers who returned from escorting supplies, Zhu Chengxi was indeed curious. How did Zhao Tiehu do it, with only three infantry squads, he laid down this bandit cottage that had been a disaster for many years.
After the soldier's narration, Zhu Chengxi also sighed and said: "This mad tiger is really going to show his might!" ”
In Zhu Chengxi's opinion, Zhao Tiehu, who picked up a life before, may really be a blessing in disguise, and his brain has become much brighter than before. After no longer getting sick, Zhao Tiehu's ability and ability can be said to have improved linearly.
I believe that if Zhao Tiehu is given a period of time, the future Hutou Mountain guerrilla detachment will only become the fastest growing unit of the 772nd Regiment in Yushe. This also means that the future of Zhao Tiehu is limitless!
On the other hand, Sun Jie, who was escorting the supplies back to the battalion headquarters at this moment, faced the inquiry of the battalion commander Qian Weizhong, and said very honestly: "Battalion commander, this time we also seized some money in Yingziyan, but the captain said that it was useful to keep it, so he didn't hand it over.
As for these war horses sent, the captain meant that if they were not handed over to the regimental headquarters, they would try to match each company with two. In this way, in the future, the communication between our companies will be faster and more timely than before.
In addition, the captain also hopes to return the guns I sent back this time with a batch of grenades from the battalion headquarters. As for the bullets, the captain said that all the bullets captured this time would be kept, and he would send a batch to the battalion headquarters next time when there was a capture. ”
Intercepting the seized booty, Zhao Tiehu did not want to hide the battalion headquarters. In fact, all the battalions and companies that are now stationed separately for development will do so privately. The purpose of building a small treasury in the headquarters is also to be prepared.
Zhou Bixue, as an instructor, said with a little curiosity: "Sun Jie, did your captain say what to do with the money?" ”
'Said! He said that the next step is to recruit new recruits for the detachment, and materials, guns and ammunition need to be stockpiled. But when he recruits new recruits, he will pay some settling-in fees. Doing so, he thinks, reassures the recruits and their families. ’
'How are you going to recruit troops?' ’
The captain didn't say anything specific! It's just that the captain said that the bandits don't want one. In the future, if the detachment recruits soldiers, only young people from the surrounding villages will be recruited. If there is a suitable rout, he will also recruit a group into the team. ’
'Do you have any plans for what's next?' ’
Qian Weizhong, as the battalion commander, was somewhat happy to see that Zhao Tiehu was really capable of pulling up a team and feeding back to the battalion headquarters and company. In his opinion, this can undoubtedly solve a lot of trouble with the current battalion.
At present, the situation of the four main companies of the next battalion, except for the third company, which is a little better, is not very good. Of course, this is also prevalent in other battalions. After all, it is still very difficult to raise supplies on your own behind enemy lines.
In addition, in recent days, the little devils have frantically set up cards and restricted the circulation of materials, which has really made the life of all anti-Japanese war troops difficult. With this batch of supplies, it can indeed solve the urgent needs of the first battalion.
If Zhao Tiehu continues to win battles in the future, then the first battalion will also become the fastest growing main battalion of the 772nd Regiment. It can be said that this is also something that Qian Weizhong is very happy to see and even looks forward to seeing.
Facing Qian Weizhong's inquiry, Sun Jie thought for a while and said: "The captain didn't seem to mention the specific combat mission. According to what he meant, this time to exterminate the gang of horse bandits in Yingziyan, I think the little devil and some people will investigate for a while.
So, after the end of the fighting, the troops should rest for two days. As for what to do next, the captain didn't say anything. But he mentioned that the number of people in the detachment is too small at present, and it is necessary to add some new recruits as soon as possible.
In this battle, the detachment also paid the price of two comrades killed and four comrades wounded. Wang Erkui, who was in my class earlier, died in last night's battle. When I came back this time, the captain also asked me to bring ten oceans.
What he meant was that he hoped that the camp would find someone to hand over the ten oceans to his family. As for Erkui's body, the captain decided to bury him in Hutou Mountain. The comrades who died in the future detachment will be buried together in the cemetery of Hutou Mountain. ”
Looking at Sun Jie, who was a little depressed, Qian Weizhong also knew that as a squad leader, what he was most afraid of seeing was the sacrifice of the soldiers in the squad. Even if Sun Jie is an old squad leader, this kind of thing has been experienced many times.
But every time he saw a soldier sacrifice in the squad, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. And this time, seeing that Zhao Tiehu also deliberately took out ten yuan of bereavement money, Sun Jie also felt in his heart that this might be a little comforting for the Wang family.
After all, today's Eighth Route Army really can't afford the so-called pension. In many cases, even the money to buy a coffin for the sacrificed person cannot be afforded. And Zhao Tiehu's approach is undoubtedly the only one in the whole group at present!
Qian Weizhong, who heard Sun Jie's words, even if he felt that Zhao Tiehu's move was a bit unusual, he couldn't say that his actions were a little inappropriate. As a soldier, Qian Weizhong knew very well that Zhao Tiehu was doing the right thing.
In fact, in today's era, many people are ready to part with life and death on the day they send their children to the army. Compared with other places to catch strong men, the Eighth Route Army relies more on mobilization to recruit soldiers.
Sending a child into the army is a very risky thing. And the folk saying that 'good iron does not hit nails, and good men do not serve as soldiers' has indeed had a great impact on the recruitment work of the Eighth Route Army.
At present, in addition to some of the soldiers recruited by the army through propaganda and mobilization, many young people who have joined the Eighth Route Army are also trying to enter the army to have something to eat. As for the so-called settling-in allowance and pension, very few troops can be paid.
When Liu Cheng and Sun Jie returned to the third company to hand over materials and report to the battalion headquarters respectively, Zhao Tiehu, who stayed in the cottage, asked the two detachment captains who stayed behind to discuss the matter. If you want to recruit troops, you must first understand some of the surrounding situation.
In addition, when he was scouting outside in the past few days, Zhao Tiehu also discovered a situation. He felt that the situation in Yushe had only become more tense recently, and he needed to make some preparations in advance.
Looking at the two squad leaders called, Zhao Tiehu also said directly: "Chengwu, Yikun, are there any locals in your class?" ”
Faced with this inquiry, both of them shook their heads and said, "Captain, this is not the case!" However, the recruits recruited by the company's recruit platoon are basically local soldiers from Yushe. If the captain needs it, it should be no problem to go to the company and transfer a few of them! ”
Although I didn't understand why Zhao Tiehu had this question, the two team leaders still directly said their suggestions. In the past few days with Zhao Tiehu, the two have already touched some of Zhao Tiehu's temper, and if there is something to do, just say it directly.
Hearing what the two said, Zhao Tiehu thought for a while and said: "Okay, wait until you send someone to ride back to the company, and when Liu Pai comes back, bring a few locally recruited recruits over, preferably the kind of soldiers with strong political ideas."
Next, I decided to form a few teams stationed in the village, and let you go around the nearby villages to reconnoiter the situation and terrain of the surrounding villages. It's almost June, and it's almost time to harvest the wheat in many granges in Yushe.
If nothing else, the little devil will definitely send people to grab food. If we don't want to go hungry in the second half of the year, it is necessary to organize grain protection and food grabbing actions. I will also write to the company and battalion headquarters to inform the company and battalion headquarters of this situation.
If you want to keep the people's food, you must know when their grain can be harvested. It is necessary to get ahead of the little devils and snatch the grain that the villagers have worked so hard to grow into the warehouse. ”
Zhao Tiehu, who knows that the little devil has always liked to take food by force, feels that the combat mission of the detachment in the next stage should be carried out around the grain protection operation. In this case, it is very necessary to do a good job of pre-war reconnaissance in advance!
