Chapter 118: Encounter
Zheng Xiuchuan patronized and reported to Xiao Siming, but he didn't expect that Mei Ying was also hungry and wanted to report to Xiao Siming!
People who are in love are not seen for a day, as if they were every other autumn!
At this time, Mei Ying and Xiao Siming already had it in their eyes and hearts, and it was when they were like a deer at a glance.
Last night, when Xiao Siming led the main force of the battalion south to encircle the point to send reinforcements, he did not bring Mei Ying, and let her stay in Zongai Town with the battalion unit and the baggage team to mobilize the masses and rush to make military uniforms. Although she knew that this was work, Mei Ying didn't know how many times she had scolded Xiao Siming in her heart, and hated him for not taking her!
Tonight, from Zong Ai Zhen to the county seat in a hurry, to the camp headquarters of the devil brigade, Mei Ying blushed when she saw Xiao Siming, her eyes were watery, and her expectations were all affection. is a fool who can see that the beautiful Mei Ying is emotionally attached to Xiao Siming!
It's just that Xiao Siming is a fool, listening to Zheng Xiuchuan's report wholeheartedly, but Mei Ying and the others glanced at her when they first entered the door, and they didn't look at her again.
In fact, Zheng Xiuchuan's report was very brief and concise, but Mei Ying felt that Zheng Xiuchuan's report was too long and too long. That was her psychological effect, and others didn't think that Zheng Xiuchuan's report took a long time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zheng Xiuchuan finished his report, Mo Shan, secretary of the battalion general branch, Zhao Xiuchuan, captain of the artillery, Li Hubao, instructor, Mou Guangyao, captain of the heavy machine gun, Sun Zhicheng, captain of the engineers, Deng Wenli, captain of the recruits, Liu Zhaoming, commander of the cavalry platoon, and Rong Guanhong, commander of the communications platoon, all came to report, and they were all about recruitment!
Zheng Xiuchuan recruited 235 recruits in Zongai Town, and the recruitment of artillery teams, heavy machine gun teams, engineering teams, recruit teams, cavalry platoons, and communications platoons in the county town was also very effective.
The most typical ones are artillery captain Zhao Xiuchuan and instructor Li Hubao.
One of these two people played the flute, the other pinched his eyes, the other tearfully accused the little devil of his bestiality, and the other propagated that the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army was like chopping melons and vegetables. The tacit understanding is like a cross talk actor practicing a stall on the Beiping flyover.
Especially when they met a tall and strong young man, Zhao Xiuchuan and Li Hubao had two eyes shining, as if they saw that this sturdy young man could carry an infantry cannon alone.
Originally, Zhao Xiuchuan and Li Hubao also wanted to copy the method of recruiting troops from the independent battalion in Baijiagou and Xiaoshan Village, and those who joined the Eighth Route Army were given a bag of rice or white noodles, but they did not get the approval of the battalion commander. The reason is that the villagers in those small mountain villages are recruited to give food, because the villagers there are facing the dilemma of being burned down by the little devils, and if they don't give some food and money, they will not be able to survive against their families. The situation in Shouyang County and the surrounding areas is different, and it is a little richer than those small mountain villages, so it is handled with reference to the method of recruiting troops in Yuxian County.
What Xiao Siming said is that when the eight-way devil fights is supremely glorious, it depends on consciously and voluntarily, relying on propaganda and mobilization, and cannot engage in material stimulation. In that case, the scriptures of the expansion of the army will be distorted!
Xiao Siming also said for example, during the Red Army period, the expansion of the Red Army was all mobilized, and there was no material reward, at most, it was tilted in policy! How can there be material stimulation in the revolution!
In the end, Zhao Xiuchuan and Li Hubao took out the allowance money of the two of them and forced it into those young men with good physical fitness, cultural foundation, who want to be the Eighth Route Army and can't give up the old people at home!
As long as the young man who is targeted by the two of them, he can't think about the Eighth Route Army!
No way, the artillery team is too short of people now. The equipment of a brigade of the Taiyuan Airport Devil Air Defense Brigade was seized, which were eight Gaoping dual-purpose guns, four rapid-fire guns, and six Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns. No, the use of seven Gaoping dual-purpose guns to participate in the battles of the three combat battalions and the temporarily organized combat detachment led by Yuan Gang basically wiped out the soldiers of the artillery team, and the remaining Gaoping dual-purpose guns, four rapid-fire guns, and six Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns could only be towed and carried by pack horses.
In the ambush battle before capturing Shouyang County, two infantry guns were captured, and there were four infantry guns in the devil's arsenal. Six infantry guns can be organized into three artillery platoons, plus ammunition platoons, that is, a reinforced artillery company. According to the level of equipment of the Chinese army, it is normal to organize into infantry artillery battalions.
It's a pity that there are no soldiers, and everything is in vain!
Zhao Xiuchuan and Li Hubao happily reported to Xiao Siming that the artillery team had recruited 180 recruits.
The results of the heavy machine gun team, the engineer team, the recruit team, the cavalry platoon, and the communication platoon are not bad, and the results of several together are added together, and a total of 560 people were recruited in Shouyang County, plus 235 people recruited from Zong Ai Zhen, plus the 100 people originally recruited by the recruit team in Mafang, and the recruits have 895 people at once, which is larger than the original strength of the independent battalion that has been trained in Yuxian County!
This number is still far from the 1,500 recruits reported by Xiao Siming to the division headquarters, but there is no hurry, there are still three combat companies and Yuan Gang in Baijiazhuang, it is estimated that it will definitely exceed 1,500 people!
Xiao Siming immediately ordered the original 100 recruits of the recruit team and the recruits recruited by the recruit team in the county town to be organized into the first company of recruits, the recruits recruited by Zongai Town were organized into the second company of recruits, the recruits recruited by the artillery team in the county town were organized into the third company of recruits, the recruits recruited by the heavy machine gun team in the county town were organized into the fourth company of recruits, and the recruits recruited by the engineer team in the county town were organized into the fifth company of recruits, and the equipment was directly issued, and each infantry had a rifle, four grenades, and 120 rounds of ammunition, and then participated in the rush to transport the captured materials!
The company commanders and instructors of each recruit company are the deputy of the recruit team, the baggage team, the artillery team, the heavy machine gun team, and the engineer team.
Xiao Siming asked Zheng Xiuchuan and Mo Shan to drive the five recruit companies to the devil's clothing warehouse first, and each of them received a set of cotton military uniforms, a set of spring and autumn clothes, a set of summer clothes, and a backpack, and then went to rush to transport weapons and ammunition.
Zheng Xiuchuan and Mo Shan finally led people away, and Mei Ying had the opportunity to talk to Xiao Siming. I didn't expect to finally be able to look at each other and whisper, but Mei Ying, the girl, was shy, but she glanced at Xiao Siming again, and turned around to chase Zheng Xiuchuan and them.
Xiao Siming grabbed her, pressed her to the chair, and then got a glass of water, and asked her if she was marching on horseback or on foot?
Mei Ying whispered that the pack horses were carrying the captured equipment and ammunition, where were the horses?
As soon as Xiao Siming heard this, he squatted down, reached out to take off Mei Ying's small leather shoes, and said in his mouth: "Let me see, don't blister again!" β
Mei Ying was completely ashamed, her face was as red as an autumn pomegranate, she raised her hand and knocked off Xiao Siming's hand, and her voice turned into an autumn worm's murmur: "Don't touch me, don't dare to move, it's embarrassing for people to see!" β
When these words were heard in Xiao Siming's ears, they became that as long as no one saw them, they could touch them!
When Xiao Siming was about to make further moves, a female voice of "Brother Xiao" came from outside the door.
At this moment, Xiao Siming had no choice but to stand up, and when he turned around, it was Yan Rou and Xing'er who came.
When Yan Rou saw Mei Ying just now, she felt that she was too well dressed, so she took Xing'er to the street to buy clothes, and just came back at this time, and saw Xiao Siming squatting in front of Mei Ying through the door and didn't know what she was doing!
Yan Rou stood there without moving!
Xing'er is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she is still a little girl, she is simple-minded, she didn't think so much, she opened her mouth and shouted, "Brother Xiao!" β
Under normal circumstances, as soon as it gets dark, the established shops are closed. But the Eighth Route Army captured the county seat, and the villagers from ten miles and eight townships flocked to the county seat, and those business shops were reluctant to close, and there were still those who opened for business at this time.
Shouyang City has a very wealthy Jin merchant family, naturally there are shops specializing in making clothes and selling clothes, and the larger department stores also purchase goods from Beiping, Tianjin, and Taiyuan, which are exclusively for the wives and ladies of those more fashionable rich merchants. It's a pity that the little devils occupied Shouyang City, and the commercial prosperity was gone forever.
Yan Rou is the head lady of the Yan family, and she is definitely not short of money. The small suitcase she was carrying, since it didn't contain a change of clothes, it must have been full of money!
Yan Rou led Xing'er, bought clothes, shoes and socks for herself and Xing'er in a department store, and changed them directly, and ran to Xiao Siming happily, without any other thoughts, just to let Xiao Siming take a look.
Xing'er said "Brother Xiao", not only did Xiao Siming stand up with a shout, but even Mei Ying woke up and stood up.
Mei Ying stood up and saw that there were two girls standing outside the door, one was fifteen or six years old, not tall, and the other was eighteen or nineteen years old, about the same height as herself, and looked like a flower.
The flush on Mei Yingqiao's face dissipated instantly, and she involuntarily glanced at Yan Rou more, raised her foot and kicked Xiao Siming's heel lightly, and asked softly, "Who is she?" β
This "she" definitely does not refer to the little girl Xing'er, but to Yan Rou who stands motionless outside the door!
Xiao Siming didn't answer Mei Ying's question, but said to Yan Rou and Xing'er with a smile: "Miss Yan, Xing'er, are you here?" Come on, come in! β
Only then did Yan Rou move the lotus step lightly and walked into the house with Nana.
When he entered the house, Xiao Siming pointed to Yan Rou and introduced Mei Ying: "This is Miss Yan Rouyan, I met on the road last time I went to Taiyuan." The little devil ruined her whole family, she escaped from Taiyuan City with Xing'er, and met me on the street today. β
Then, Xiao Siming pointed to Mei Ying and introduced to Yan Rou: "This is Mei Ying, the head of the propaganda section of our army, and my fiancΓ©e!" β
This time, Mei Ying didn't cry and run away, nor did she scold Xiao Siming for being faceless and skinless, but smiled and said to Yan Rou: "Miss Yan is good!" Welcome to our Eighth Route Army! β
Yan Rou was reluctant to be the Eighth Route Army, she wanted Xiao Siming to send her to Tianjin. At this moment, I don't know what this girl thinks, she didn't explain, but the dark clouds on her face turned into a smile, looked at Mei Ying, and then looked at Xiao Siming, and then asked sweetly, "Hello Mei Ke!" β
Xiao Siming's heart was full of Mei Ying at this time, and his heart and eyes were full of beautiful Mei Ying! When he rode with Yan Rou on the way to Taiyuan, the reason why he had that reaction was because he was young, because he was a normal young man, and because Yan Rou was indeed beautiful, the kind of extraordinary beauty, and Mei Ying was Chunlan Qiuju was good at winning!
It's normal for a young man to have strange feelings when he meets a stunning beauty!
Therefore, as soon as Mei Ying and Yan Rou were introduced, Xiao Siming directly instructed Mei Ying: "Yan Rou and Xing'er will follow you, and pay attention to letting the soldiers protect the safety of the two of them." Then the army will send someone to send them to Tianjin! β
Only then did Mei Ying know that Yan Rou was not here to be the Eighth Route Army, but to Tianjin!
This is an assignment, of course Mei Ying has to complete it!
I saw Mei Ying raise her hand to salute Xiao Siming, and reported loudly: "Resolutely complete the task!" β
After saluting, Mei Ying said to Yan Rou: "Miss Yan, the battalion commander still has something, let's go, I'll take you to meet the comrades of our propaganda department!" β
Poor Yanrou, wearing the new clothes she had just bought, wanted to come and let Xiao Siming take a look, and she also wanted to compare herself with Mei Ying, but Xiao Siming kicked Mei Ying and asked her to act with Mei Ying! (To be continued.) )
