Chapter 184: My heart is in turmoil

The joint meeting of the Military and Political Committee of the Advance Brigade, the Jilu Border Work Committee, and the 31st Detachment held in Ningjin had a great and profound impact on the later construction of the Hebei-Shandong border base area!

Historically, the Jilu border base area has entered an extremely difficult period since the end of the Battle of Wuhan and the return of the Japanese army to launch a law and order rectification operation against our plain base area. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After the main force of our army in the Hebei and Lu borders withdrew to Luxi and Lunan, the soldiers and civilians in the Hebei and Lu borders insisted on the War of Resistance and paid great sacrifices to usher in the victory of the War of Resistance!

Now, due to Xiao Siming's soul crossing, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which has fought even better, has advanced eastward to the Jilu border. Moreover, unlike the passive entry of the five detachments of our army and the Jinpu detachment to reinforce the Hebei and Lu borders in history, this time it was Xiao Siming's planned active entry, and the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the Hebei and Lu borders will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes!

After the end of the joint meeting, Wang Lushui, Hu Qingyun, and Huo Cheng took the lead in sending the main force of the brigade east to Leling, leaving Huang Hua to lead the second and fourth battalions to garrison Ningjin to assist the Ningjin County Party Committee and the county government in forming political power, reorganizing the miscellaneous armed forces, and establishing county brigades, district squadrons, and militias, and began to implement them step by step in accordance with Xiao Siming's deployment at the joint meeting.

Before Wang Lushui left, he and Xiao Siming had an in-depth conversation with Huang Hua.

Ningjin is the first foothold of the advance brigade to advance eastward into the Hebei and Shandong borders, and whether the work in Ningjin is carried out smoothly or not has a great bearing on whether it is carried out smoothly. Therefore, Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui decided at the joint meeting that Huang Hua would lead the second and fourth battalions to garrison Ningjin and lead the work of building the party, government, and army in Ningjin in a unified manner.

Ningjin City was defeated, 500 puppet soldiers were captured, and the equipment of this part of the puppet army was captured, and the weapons and equipment for the establishment of the Ningjin County Brigade were ready-made. Ningjin is also a place with a glorious revolutionary tradition, and as long as the work is done well, the work of building the party, government, and army should proceed smoothly.

The only thing that made Xiao Siming a little relieved was that when he first arrived in the Jilu border, the advance brigade was a well-equipped unit with successive victories, and the nostrils of the cadres and soldiers were almost reaching the sky, and they did not care about the troops scattered to various districts to help establish local armed forces and local political power.

Xiao Siming told Huang Hua that the establishment of local party organizations, local political power, and local armed forces is a complicated and meticulous task, and we must not be impatient, and we must closely rely on the original veteran party members in Ningjin County, who are all loyal fighters who have passed the test of the White Terror and are the spark of our party in the land of Ningjin. We must not look down on these old party members who are as precious as tinder just because they are the backbone cadres of the old Red Army who have gone through the Long March, and because the advance brigade is the regular army of the Eighth Route Army.

Xiao Siming wanted to guard against the slightest, for fear that the cadres and soldiers of the advance brigade would be arrogant; Huang Hua also doesn't need to beat the drum heavily, and he knows the elegance when he hears the string songs, so he naturally won't make those low-level mistakes.

Huang Hua smiled and said to Xiao Siming: "Captain, don't worry, the cadres of the second and fourth battalions are basically Red Army cadres. When they were in the Soviet area, they often helped build up the local armed forces and local political power, and when they first arrived in the Jilu border, they would be even more strict and resolutely carry out their orders, and they would not quarrel with local comrades. ”

Xiao Siming still didn't feel at ease after thinking about it, and told again: "Lao Huang, the little devil is busy playing Taierzhuang, and he can't take care of the North China Plain for the time being." However, the Japanese army had a strategy of aggression against China, and once they achieved their set strategic goals and realized that it was impossible to destroy China, they would go back and consolidate their rule over the occupied areas. This process will not be very long, at most until the end of the year. At that time, the war of resistance behind enemy lines in North China will face an even more brutal situation. Therefore, there is not much time left for us to develop greatly, so we have to hurry! ”

Huang Hua nodded in agreement, and then said: "Political commissar, captain, there are more than 300,000 people in Ningjin County, and in terms of population alone, they are all big counties. It can be said that the supply of troops is very sufficient! It is definitely no problem to set up county brigades, district squadrons, militia teams! I think we should massively expand the army here, and there is no problem at all in pulling a regiment here! ”

At the joint meeting, Xiao Siming said that the next step was to implement the reorganization, and the advance brigade and the 31st detachment would be reorganized into four regiments, which was already grand enough, but I didn't expect Huang Hua to think bigger and want to pull up a regiment in Ningjin!

Xiao Siming replied: "The composition of prisoners in our army is too high, and we urgently need to recruit good young people with innocent backgrounds, high ideological awareness, and dedication to resisting Japan and killing the enemy. The people of the Jilu border are strong, the style of martial arts training is prevalent, and there are indeed a large number of high-quality soldiers. Not to mention a regiment, it's no problem to pull a brigade! The key is to keep up with the training! ”

Wang Lushui shook his head and said that the cadre foundation of the advance brigade and the 31st brigade was still too weak, and if too many recruits were recruited, the combat effectiveness of the troops would be diluted. It is better to take your time, first develop county brigades, district squadrons, and militias, and when these local armed forces have been tempered and their combat effectiveness has improved, they can be directly incorporated into the main force and rebuild new local armed forces.

This is what Xiao Siming said at the joint meeting, Wang Lushui melted into his own ideas so quickly!

Xiao Siming said that there is no need to worry about the problem of too many recruits and diluting the combat effectiveness of the main force, and the War of Resistance is not a matter of one or two days, as long as the training is grasped and the battle is fought on the battlefield for a while, the recruits will become veterans, and the new Eighth Road will become the old Eighth Road! Besides, as long as the team is pulled up, it doesn't matter if the advance brigade and the 31st detachment can't digest it, they can be incorporated into the 5th detachment, the 685th regiment, the 686th regiment, and even sent back to Shanxi to be incorporated into the 344th brigade, the 129th division, and the 120th division. Their old Red Army has a high composition, and there is no problem in absorbing and digesting the recruits of several regiments!

This is to encourage Huang Hua to expand his army on a large scale in Ningjin!

Huang Hua immediately said that he was right, and he did it like this, and the purpose of going east to the Hebei and Shandong borders was to expand the army and create a base area behind enemy lines. Don't talk about pulling a brigade, in Jilubian with a population of 6 million, it's no problem to pull a few brigades! Not to mention anything else, there are a lot of miscellaneous armed forces here, and they can reorganize one or two brigades just by reorganizing!

Purely quantitatively, it is. However, the combat effectiveness of the troops does not depend on the number of troops, and the large number of troops does not necessarily mean that the combat effectiveness is strong!

To Wang Lushui's surprise, Xiao Siming nodded in approval!

Historically, when our army marched eastward to the Hebei and Shandong borders to form the Eighth Route Army's eastward advance column, it had three brigade-level units under its jurisdiction: four detachments, five detachments, and six detachments. Later, in order to make every effort to develop Luxi and Lunan, and also because of the shortage of food in Hebei and Lubian, the main force of the East Column was transferred out of Hebei and Lubian in eight batches, and the number of troops transferred out reached 20,000. It can be seen how fierce the development momentum of Dongzong is!

After bidding farewell to Wang Lushui and the main force, Xiao Siming was about to lead the cavalry company to set off.

The purpose of the guerrilla attack on the Jinpu Road was to respond to the operations in Taierzhuang and Linyi and to cover the main force of the advance brigade in the Jilu border area. There is also a side task, which is to send Yanrou and Xing'er to Tianjin!

Xiao Siming guessed in his heart that the reason why Yan Rou was unwilling to be the Eighth Route Army and was in a hurry to go to Tianjin should be that the Yan family had huge assets in Tianjin, and Yan Rou was probably afraid that these assets would fall into the hands of the Japanese army and was in a hurry to deal with them.

If this is really the case, then the huge assets of the Yan family must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Japanese army, which is also a very big loss!

For this reason, Xiao Siming personally led the cavalry company to the Jinpu Road guerrilla. Otherwise, it would really be like what Huang Hua said, there was no need for Xiao Siming to personally lead the cavalry company.

Wang Lushui was afraid that Yan Rou would stop in the advance brigade for a long time, and he really fell in love with Xiao Siming, and hoped that Yan Rou and Xing'er would leave quickly, so he agreed that Xiao Siming would lead the cavalry company to Jinpu Road for guerrillas, and send Yan Rou and Xing'er to Tianjin by the way.

Wang Lushui even had an idea, that is, if Yan Rou lived in Tianjin in the future, it was possible to use her as the main body to establish an intelligence line and grasp the dynamics of the Japanese puppet army in Tianjin!

Originally, Wang Lushui wanted to talk to Yan Rou and talk about his thoughts, but just thinking of Yan Rou's reluctance to join the Eighth Route Army, he felt that Yan Rou was politically unreliable, so he dispelled this idea.

Xiao Siming didn't have the idea of letting Yan Rou help the Eighth Route Army collect intelligence in Tianjin, the reason was very simple, Yan Rou was not suitable! The reason is very simple, Yan Rou is the same as Mei Ying, she is so beautiful that she is dazzling everywhere she throws it, and it is easy to be targeted by the Japanese puppet army and traitors!

Before leaving, Xiao Siming found Yan Rou and wanted to talk to her seriously.

After receiving the notice that Xiao Siming wanted to see her, Yan Rou, who was bright and intelligent, immediately understood that Xiao Siming was going to send her to Tianjin.

Escaping from Taiyuan City and meeting Xiao Siming in Shouyang County, Yan Rou traveled all the way with the army, thinking of going to Tianjin as soon as possible. Now that she is really leaving, she is going to be separated from this Eighth Route Army team that gets along day and night, and for a while, Yan Rou was so confused!

The messenger of the cavalry company who came to inform her urged: "Miss Yan, please hurry, the chief is waiting!" ”

Yan Rou blushed inexplicably, and followed the correspondent to Xiao Siming's office in the county government.

After following the army for a long time, Yan Rou also understood the rules of the army, and when she arrived at the door of Xiao Siming's office, she even shouted, "Report!" ”

Xiao Siming was about to set off with the cavalry company, and in order to wait for Yan Rou, he was still looking at the map and pondering!

Hearing the report, Xiao Siming said "Come in", and Yan Rou pushed the door in.

This is the end of March, Yan Rou has already changed into spring clothes, the upper body is a moon-white small top, the lower body is a black skirt, the feet are a pair of women's leather shoes, the hair is braided into two long braids, on the chest, with bangs on the forehead, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, pretty and moving.

Yan Rou, who was not wearing a military uniform, actually dressed herself up as a foreign student in Taiyuan City!

Xiao Siming's eyes straightened all of a sudden, staring at Yan Rou to death, and only burst out for a long time before he burst out with a sentence: "You are dressed so beautifully, don't you know that it will kill people?" ”

Yan Rou had already been seen by Xiao Siming blushing and heartbeating, and couldn't help herself, hearing Xiao Siming say this, she raised her head, glanced at Xiao Siming, and said, "The head of the Eighth Route Army, he talks like a disciple!" ”

How is this tone exactly the same as when Mei Yingjiao was angry?

Xiao Siming didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he hurriedly beckoned Yan Rou to sit down and started talking about business! (To be continued.) )
