By the time the three monks who went out to look for people came back with people, Xiao Siming and Chen Desheng had already led the pack horses in the courtyard to the mountain gate and tied them up, cleaned up the pools of horse manure in the courtyard, and had eaten.

To Xiao Siming's delight, the three monks not only brought back a dozen monks who were hiding on the mountain in the Zangshan Temple, but also Chen Yisheng, who had gone to Changchi to inspect the work, and a platoon of the anti-Japanese guerrilla brigade of Mengpingyang Shouyu five counties that accompanied him.

In October, Liu Daosheng, political commissar of the 717th Regiment of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, led a battlefield rescue work group of more than 60 people from Pingshan County to Yuxian County, where he set up a special committee of the five counties of Mengpingyang and Shouyu, and formed an anti-Japanese guerrilla brigade of the five counties of Mengpingyang and Shouyu. When the Japanese army captured Taiyuan, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region was established, the special committees of the five counties of Mengpingyang and Shouyu were renamed the Central County Party Committee, and the anti-Japanese democratic regimes at the county and district levels in Yuxian County were also established successively, which were subordinate to the Fourth Jin-Cha-Ji Sub-district.

Chen Yisheng was a veteran of the Red Army who joined the army in 1931, and served as the secretary of the Political Department, the secretary of the Security Department, and the section chief of the Red Eighth Army. When the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, Chen Yisheng was incorporated into the 717th Regiment of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division with his unit, and together with political commissar Liu Daosheng, he led the 717th Regiment to save the land from Pingshan to Yuxian. When the special committee of the five counties of Meng Pingyang and Shouyu was renamed the central county party committee, he replaced Liu Daosheng, who was transferred to the political commissar of the fourth sub-district, and served as the central ********.

This year, Chen Yisheng is only 23 years old, very capable!

Historically, Chen Yisheng took more than 20 soldiers from Yuxian County to Shouyang to inspect the work after the end of the eight-way siege of the anti-Japanese army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, encountered the Japanese army, and died heroically.

The anti-Japanese guerrilla brigade of Mengpingyang Shouyu Five Counties was a newly formed local armed force, with uneven weapons and various clothing, but they were all cotton clothes.

As soon as they met and introduced each other, the soldiers of the guerrilla brigade brought by Chen Yisheng looked at the two 38 big covers on the square table in the yard with their eyes, and then they started to do it.

Chen Yisheng was so angry that he raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly, let the soldiers gather, don't be embarrassed!

The soldiers put down the 38 big covers, gathered, and stood in the courtyard in formation, but Chen Yisheng himself grabbed two 38 big covers and carried them on his back, bent down, and instigated from the clothes pocket of the devil's corpse for a long time, and finally found a pack of cigarettes that Xiao Siming and Chen Desheng did not take, opened them, and gave Xiao Siming and Chen Desheng one each, and also took one in his mouth, personally took out a match from his pocket, stroked, and lit cigarettes for Xiao Siming and Chen Desheng.

Smoking a cigarette, Chen Yisheng approached Xiao Siming and said, "Platoon Commander Xiao, these two 38 big covers will be left to our anti-Japanese guerrilla brigade in Mengpingyang Shouyu Five Counties, right?" It can be regarded as the Red First Army supporting the Red Sixth Army. Do you think it's okay? ”

The two 38 big covers are very expensive at this time, and the **** on the battlefield in Shanxi fought all the way from Tianzhen and Yanggao to Taiyuan and lost, and I haven't heard of how many 38 big covers have been captured. The reason why our army was able to seize weapons from the Japanese army was because they fought ambush warfare and annihilation wars, so that they were able to capture the 38 caps, grenadiers, and machine guns with chrysanthemum badges on the butts of the guns from the Japanese army.

They are all the Eighth Route Army reorganized by the Red Army, and they are all anti-Japanese troops led by the Communist Party, not to mention supporting two guns, even if they transfer people away, it is normal. Didn't I see more than 60 cadres of the 120th Division, including Liu Daosheng and Chen Yisheng, who were left behind in Jinchaji? Besides, this gun was captured from the Japanese again, and it is definitely okay to give the guerrilla brigade two guns, it should be!

Xiao Siming didn't say anything, in his eyes, these two 38 big covers are nothing, the key is that he also has ideas in his heart.

Seeing that Xiao Siming was silent, Chen Yisheng was anxious, and his tone became more and more urgent: "Platoon Commander Xiao, you don't know, our guns are all collected from the people, and some are guns that were picked up from the battlefield and thrown away by **** retreat, all of them are broken guns, and some of them are not even rifling, and the war will only delay things!" ”

Xiao Siming then spoke: "Secretary Chen, I will give you 10 38 big covers, on the condition that this platoon of yours is under my command!" ”

Chen Yisheng turned his face when he boarded, and pointed at Xiao Siming's nose with a cigarette and roared: "You Xiao Siming, you are not small, even Lao Tzu's team dares to annex!" You don't inquire, what does Lao Tzu do! ”

Xiao Siming hurriedly explained, saying that it was not because he wanted to annex his team, but because there were seriously injured people who could not ride horses or walk, and armed guards were needed to carry stretchers when transferring. These wounded are all old Red Army soldiers who came from the Long March, if they don't take them away, tomorrow when the big army of little devils comes, they may be discovered by the little devils, the sacrifice is certain, then the loss will be too great!

Chen Yisheng said this, he was silent, he thought about it for a long time, and even agreed, saying that after avoiding tomorrow's devil retaliation, he would contact other units of the guerrilla brigade, and if he could not take a platoon away, he could transfer 20 people from each company to Xiao Siming.

As soon as Xiao Siming heard this, he immediately climbed down the pole and said that it was best to transfer 50 people.

Chen Yisheng said that a maximum of 30 people will be selected.

The two of them made a half-day price and finally reached an agreement. Xiao Siming promised to give the guerrilla brigade 15 38 large covers, each with 100 rounds of ammunition, and Chen Yisheng promised to transfer 50 fighters from the guerrilla brigade to Xiao Siming, who were assigned to the 115th Division.

In this matter, Chen Yisheng did not suffer at all!

Shanxi's anti-Japanese propaganda and mobilization work was done relatively early and in a down-to-earth manner. The Sacrifice League and the Mobilization Committee were mobilized from top to bottom throughout the province, and the people's anti-Japanese enthusiasm was very high. At this time, it was the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and there was no shortage of soldiers in the base areas, and as long as there were weapons and ammunition, Chen Yisheng could expand the anti-Japanese guerrilla brigade in the five counties of Mengpingyang, Shouyu, and anytime and anywhere. Moreover, this is fifteen 38 big covers, good shooters can shoot people at 200 meters, 400 meters, and 800 meters, absolutely good guns!

With these 15 38 canopies and 1,500 rounds of ammunition, Chen Yisheng believed that the combat effectiveness of the anti-Japanese guerrilla brigades in the five counties of Mengpingyang and Shouyu would be able to rise to a higher level!

The most important thing is that they are all the Eighth Route Army, which is originally a family, and it is normal for the local armed forces to be transferred to the main force after the combat effectiveness is up, and it is often transferred away with people and equipment. Now that Xiao Siming only needs people and gives some weapons to support, Chen Yisheng is of course satisfied.

Xiao Siming will definitely not suffer a loss, he wants people, soldiers who can follow him to fight in the north and south. Although these 50 soldiers are still new recruits, after all, they have gone through more than a month of preliminary training, and they are all innocent, pure and simple Yuxian soldiers.

Someone is easy to do!

As soon as the two of them said yes, Xiao Siming immediately asked the firehead workers of the Tibetan Mountain Temple to open a meal, and asked Chen Yisheng and the soldiers and monks to hurry up and eat.

The fragrant white rice, the fragrant pork stew, Chen Yisheng and the soldiers naturally ate it with oil, and they were addicted!

After eating, Xiao Siming asked Chen Yisheng to send two soldiers to Shangshe Town to find the three detachments stationed there to report the enemy situation, and notified the central county party committee to arrange for people to evacuate the masses in the villages along the highway, and asked Chen Desheng to take the monks and guerrilla fighters of the Tibetan Mountain Temple to lead eight pack horses to carry weapons and ammunition and pick up the wounded, and he and Chen Yisheng stayed behind in the Tibetan Mountain Temple.

The battle was won, and the wounded of the Eighth Route Army also changed their guns. When Wang Lushui and Mei Ying took the team of wounded and followed Chen Desheng to the Tibetan Mountain Temple, not to mention those who could walk, they were all wearing Japanese belts around their waists, grenades and bullet boxes hung on the belts, and 38 covers on their shoulders. Riding on pack horses and lying on stretchers, they were all wearing Japanese cotton uniforms and leather boots, which was dazzling!

After the battle, this team of wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army actually changed its clothes, and the full set of standard equipment of the Japanese field troops was no longer a trembling team wearing straw sandals and a single military uniform.

Wang Lushui and Chen Yisheng did not know each other in the past, and after they met and saluted and shook hands with each other, they did not care about eating, and first asked if they had sent someone to report the enemy situation to their superiors, and then asked about the details of the situation after the Japanese army occupied the county seat of Yuxian.

Chen Yisheng is also unclear about the details, and what he knows is only the general situation of the Japanese army burning, killing, looting, and causing tragedies in Yuxian.

Chen Yisheng's original position in the army was lower than Wang Lushui's, plus the 685th Regiment was adapted from the Second Red Division, which was the elite of our army's elite, and the regimental-level cadres were all well-known Red Army generals, Wang Lushui's reputation was much greater than Chen Yisheng's. Chen Yisheng didn't know him, but he knew him. When the two were talking, Chen Yisheng spoke in the posture of reporting to Wang Lushui.

Xiao Siming knew in his heart that these two people were martyrs in history, and he wondered if he could change their fate because of his appearance. Therefore, when Wang Lushui and Chen Yisheng were talking, Xiao Siming stood aside and said nothing.

Ready-made white rice, stews, as well as egg soup and millet soup, such a good meal has never been seen since the Red Army's Long March entered the snow-capped mountains and crossed the grassland. These are the wounded of the southerners, and they all die when they see the white rice, and they all eat it sweetly.

It's a pity that Xiao Siming ordered all the wounded to eat half a portion of rice, half a portion of vegetables, and half a portion of soup. The reason is very simple, that is, I am afraid that the wounded will gobble up such a good meal, eat it badly, and choke to death!

As a result, the wounded were not well fed.

At this moment, Cao Ming'an, the platoon commander of the fourth company of the first battalion, had already sat up from the stretcher and shouted: "Let me eat white rice for three days, and Lao Tzu will be able to fight with the little devil with bayonets again!" ”

The wounded are in the stage of recuperation, and if the medicine and nutrition can keep up, it will indeed be able to return to the battlefield soon!

Mei Ying hasn't eaten rice for a long time, she is not an injured person, she can eat enough.

A big bowl of white rice, a bowl of vegetables, and drank half a bowl of egg soup and half a bowl of millet soup, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Mei Ying's forehead, who ate beautifully!

After eating, because she killed the health soldiers accompanying the devil squad and seized a little first-aid medicine for the battlefield, Mei Ying went to change the dressing for the wounded who still needed to sit on stretchers.

After Wang Lushui finished eating, he called Xiao Siming aside, and whispered with a dark face to reprimand Xiao Siming for being unorganized and undisciplined, that is fifteen three-eight big covers and 1,500 rounds of ammunition, how can it be said that it will be sent out? Such a big thing can only be approved by the regimental headquarters!

Xiao Siming smiled and said that things are in a hurry, they are all the Eighth Route Army, and whoever the weapons go to is a devil, how can a family talk about two families! Besides, it's not that he doesn't report, it's that the regiment commander, political commissar, battalion commander, and instructor are not here! Just report to Political Commissar Wang Lushui, is Political Commissar Wang the real head of the regiment!

Wang Lushui stopped criticizing!
