Chapter 1: Soul Piercing 1938
In January 1938, the 129th Division of the Eighth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army (referred to as the Eighth Route Army) and the 386th Brigade of the 386th Brigade were stationed in Huoling Village (a fictitious place). Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ye Zhengjun sat on a small hillside on the bank of a dry river, playing with the dog's tail grass in his hand while watching the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in disheveled military clothes exercise on the dry riverbed full of pebbles.
"The sky has eyes, Lao Tzu actually traveled to the Anti-Japanese War period, and now he must not recognize the mother who beat the devil." Ye Zhengjun's delicate face, which was obviously malnourished, had a look of excitement on his face, copied a standard Sichuan dialect, and thought about the history of 1938 in his head.
In 1938, when the battles of Xinkou and Taiyuan ended, and the Eighth Route Army established a base area to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines according to Taizu's instructions, the number of his unit was the newly expanded 1st Regiment of the 386th Brigade, referred to as the New 1st Regiment.
"General Chen, haha, I can't imagine that Lao Tzu can actually fight under the founding general, what an honor!" After thinking about it for a while, Ye Zhengjun laughed, got up and patted the dirt sticking to his buttocks, with a look of yearning on his face, and turned around and walked towards the village.
It would be nice if I could become a general after defeating the devils, Ye Zhengjun thought in his mind, his steps were fast, and he walked to the head of the village in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Jun!"
A loud voice interrupted Ye Zhengjun's conjecture, and when he came back to his senses, a young man dressed in dark skin, a burly body, and a tiger's head grinned at him.
The young name Ruan Zhenhua, because he weighed eight catties when he was born, his grandfather gave him a nickname "Huzi", Huzi and Ye Zhengjun are of the same age, they are both 16-year-old and a half-old children, and the relationship between the two is getting better and better day by day since they met.
"What are you doing, Huzi." Ye Zhengjun rubbed his ears, obviously shocked by the sudden sound just now.
"Hehe, Brother Jun, look." Huzi reached into the black linen clothes he was wearing with his right hand, carefully took out 2 eggs in it, handed them to Ye Zhengjun, and then said, "Camp Commander Ye asked me to bring you supplementary nutrition." ”
Ye Zhengjun felt a little awkward in his heart when he heard this, the battalion commander Ye in Huzi's mouth was the eldest brother of his village, and he crossed over to occupy the body of other people's younger brother by himself, and he was already a dove occupying the magpie's nest, so it was not unkind to enjoy such care.
Huzi didn't pay attention to the expression on Ye Zhengjun's face, and even if he did, he would never think of what his military brother was thinking at the moment, he looked at the egg in his hand and swallowed his saliva.
Huzi's small movements naturally did not escape Ye Zhengjun's eyes, and the latter couldn't help but sigh slightly, in the world before crossing over, where would a teenager of Huzi's age swallow saliva on eggs, they were all people who chose to eat according to their own tastes.
It's really a change in the world, where does Ye Zhengjun still have the dream of being a general just now at this time, and he just wants to end this war-torn and chaotic world as soon as possible.
Ye Zhengjun didn't want to take any of the two eggs in front of him, but considering that he had been injured not long ago, and now his developing body really needs to be opened, he took one away.
"Brother Jun, there's another one!" Seeing that Ye Zhengjun only took one egg, Huzi hurriedly said.
"I saw you swallow the egg, and if you pretend to be I, I'll really take it and eat it." Ye Zhengjun peeled the egg in his hand and put it into his mouth as he spoke.
"Thank you, Brother Jun." Huzi grinned, took out a yellow corn pancake from his clothes, broke it in half, and sent it to Ye Zhengjun, who also took the pancake and gnawed it.
The two of them ate side by side as they walked towards the village.
Huoling Village is not big, the whole village is less than 2 miles from the head to the end of the village, the foot is faster and can be completed in less than 10 minutes, the third battalion camp headquarters is located in the middle of the village used to be a landlord's yard, and it is a few minutes' walk from the village entrance.
"Huzi, do you want to be a soldier?" When he was about to arrive at the compound where the battalion headquarters was located, Ye Zhengjun stopped and asked Huzi beside him.
"I dream of it." Huzi swallowed the last piece of pancake in his mouth, and replied without thinking, but before the words fell, his face became bitter, and then said, "But Battalion Commander Ye thinks that I am too young to join the army." ”
"It's okay, I'll go and tell my brother that I promise to let you join the Eighth Route Army." Ye Zhengjun smiled slightly, patted his chest and said.
"Really!" Huzi's dark face showed excitement when he heard this, he knew that his military brother was the brother of Battalion Commander Ye in the same village, and his old nose was good, and it would be no problem for Ye Zhengjun to come forward to participate.
"Why are you so excited, don't you know that being a soldier and fighting in war will kill people?" Ye Zhengjun saw Huzi's face excited, thinking that the other party didn't know the cruelty of the battlefield, and was afraid that he would be a child's play in the war, so he hurriedly warned him.
"Grandpa said that there are no immortals in war, as long as you kill more little devils, it is worth dying." Huzi didn't care, his eyes lit up as he spoke, and he looked looking forward to killing the enemy on the battlefield.
Ye Zhengjun looked at the grinning young man in front of him, the softest place in his heart seemed to have been hit hard, thinking of the new China that was a member of the world's second largest economic circle in a few decades, how many people are now exchanged for blood and life, and he couldn't help but make up his mind again to end this fucking chaotic world as soon as possible.
patted Huzi on the shoulder, Ye Zhengjun walked towards the camp headquarters with his hands behind him with a serious face, Huzi followed behind, he was now in the joy of participating, and he didn't pay attention to the serious expression on his brother's face.
In the battalion headquarters, the battalion commander Ye Yi often gathered around the square table in the war room with the three company commanders, pointing at the map on the table, and drawing lines on the map with a ruler from time to time.
"That's it!" A company commander pointed to a location on the map circled with a red pen and said fiercely.
"Yujiazhen, it's too risky, let's take some insurance here first." The other company commander, frowning, pointed to another place on the map.
"Even if Qingjia Town is defeated, it will only be the equipment of a small team, and it will not change the situation of our battalion." The company commander who proposed to fight Yujia Town waved his hand and said.
"Yujia Town is stationed in a full-fledged puppet army infantry battalion, and there is a 100-person devil stronghold 6 kilometers away. It is recommended to fight the company commander of Qingjia Town to argue on grounds.
"Don't fight with the two of you, don't you have to have the battalion commander to decide what to fight." The last company commander saw that the two had a conflict, and hurriedly stopped it.
When the two company commanders who disagreed with each other heard this, they thought, yes, no matter how lively the two of us are arguing here, it was the battalion commander who didn't return the decision, and they stopped arguing at the moment, and looked at Ye Yichang, who had been staring at the map.
Ye Yichang was also measuring in his heart at this moment, looking at the map, the enemy closest to the third battalion was what the two company commanders said just now, Yujia Town, Qingjia Town, the enemy in other places was too far away from the defense area to be the target of this battle.
The situation in Yujia Town and Qingjia Town is indeed as the two company commanders said, it is difficult to fight anywhere, the full-fledged puppet army infantry battalion in Yujia Town has 4 companies, more than 600 people and a 100-person stronghold of devils behind the horse, although the devil squad in Qingjia Town is small, it has strong combat effectiveness, and it belongs to the fifth division of the old ghost of Itagaki Seishiro, and there is a gun tower.
The three battalions were the poorly equipped battalions of the new regiment, with a total of more than 400 people in the whole battalion and the battalion headquarters.
Regimental Commander Jiang Huaibei and Political Commissar Kong Zhengsheng specifically instructed themselves before taking up their posts that they hoped to bring this battalion into the main battalion of the regiment within a year, and assigned the entire regimental defense area close to Zhengtai Road to the third battalion, hoping that the third battalion could serve as the sharp knife and iron wall of the new regiment.
How can you become the main battalion without equipment, so this battle must be rewarded, otherwise the third battalion is afraid that it will gradually drift away from the main battalion expected by the regiment commander, and in this case, Ye Yichang's heart is very conflicted about the choice of target.
"TMD gives Lao Tzu a full battalion, and the bones of the enemy Lao Tzu in these two places can be chewed into his stomach." Ye Yi often slapped the table, and his well-defined face was full of helplessness.
"You don't need a full battalion, only ten people, and these two places are the meat of our three battalions." Just when Ye Yi often slapped the table and cursed, a voice came from outside the room and attracted the attention of everyone in the war room.
Ye Zhengjun walked in with Huzi with his hands behind his back, and walked in under the gaze of everyone, Huzi was a little uncomfortable to be seen by the people in the war room, his dark face was a little red, he heard the quarrel before he came in, walked a few steps quickly, and when he arrived at the door, he was just in time for Ye Yichang's helplessness.
"Xiaojun, not very old, not small." The company commander who proposed to fight Yujia Town, when he saw that it was Ye Zhengjun, couldn't help but laugh.
"That is, you are the enemy with wooden stakes, standing there and letting you fight?" The company commander who wanted to fight Qingjia Town immediately complied.
Ye Zhengjun glanced at the two company commanders, he knew that there was no malice in the words of the two, he had no dazzling achievements, and it was normal for what he said to be disbelieved, so he simply ignored them and said to Ye Yichang, "Brother, give me the task and promise to complete the task." ”
Just kidding, if you can't even take these two places, the army special officers who have traveled more than ten years ago will be in vain, Ye Zhengjun looked at Ye Chang with confidence.
"Don't make a fool of yourself, we're having a combat meeting, you take Huzi to play somewhere else." Ye Yichang shook his head, and then said to the company commander who had stopped the other two from arguing just now, "Lao Chen, you help me sum up, which battle is appropriate." ”
Of course, Ye Zhengjun didn't want to leave, he stood in the war room with Huzi, and those company commanders knew that Ye Yichang was a younger brother, not to mention his young age, his military age was not short, he was a proletarian revolutionary fighter with a firm position, so he naturally would not leak secrets, and continued to discuss in person.
"I think we will fight the puppet army in Yujia Town." Company Commander Chen thought for a while, pointed to the map and said.
"That's right, let's beat the two devils in Yujia Town first, and then beat the devils in Qingjia Town after the two devils." Ye Zhengjun immediately opened his mouth after hearing this, this is not a mouthful, just now when he was looking for Ye Yichang to ask for a task, he had already carved out a preliminary battle plan in his mind.
Ye Zhengjun's words once again attracted everyone's attention, Ye Yi frowned, and said with some annoyance, "I told you to take Huzi to play elsewhere, and if you don't obey again, I can beat you." ”
Ye Zheng was about to untie the belt around his waist before he finished speaking, Ye Zhengjun immediately panicked when he saw it, he received a lot of beatings in the memory he received after crossing, and his current body bones were not as strong as before he crossed, seeing this, he hurriedly said, "Brother, don't get excited, listen to me first before deciding whether to beat me or not, is it possible?" ”
"Comrade Chang, don't commanders and commanders often tell us to accept suggestions and not to be stubborn, if you have any way to do it, just say it quickly, look at your brother's urgency." Company Commander Chen hurriedly pressed the belt and said eagerly.
