Chapter XVIII
After Ning Chenlong heard this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped his forehead; "Shame! Chief of Staff Li gave correct instructions, and he asked the leaders for more advice in his work in the future. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Learn together, make progress together." Li Manjiang replied modestly with a smile on his face.
Bi Xingzhou said to Ning Chenlongbu again; "Comrade Xiao Ning, how is your special combat team combined, and what are your specialties, let's hear about it?"
Ning Chenlong thought for a moment, and then replied; "Now there are some candidates, I want to wait for the reorganization of the troops, from the training to select some outstanding fighters with special skills to form a special combat team, and then carry out intensive professional training for them, mainly in light skills and blasting techniques, and then learn Japanese, then they can go deep into the county town of Yuxi, and even go to the devil's barracks to carry out sabotage, which should play a great role."
Bi Xingzhou nodded, but he was still worried; "This kind of special professional technology should be quite difficult, I think that with our current environmental conditions, if we want to train such a unit in a short period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results, but it is good for you to have such an idea, and you should be praised."
"Commissar Bi!" Lu Caiting added on the side; "We have many gangs and rangers here, as well as some bandits, they are all top masters of martial arts, and their special skills are beyond people's reach, as long as we standardize professional training, they can achieve the results we expect, and they are not even lower than the special combat team that has been formally trained." He said a little excitedly, his sword eyebrows were raised, his eyes were shining, and he was full of coldness, and his expression was full of confidence.
Bi Xingzhou smiled heartily and affirmed loudly; "Okay, I believe in you, let's wait and see, I fully believe that your Jianghu special combat team is indomitable, can brilliantly complete all kinds of difficult tasks, and play the prestige of our New Fourth Army, we not only want to let little Japan, the puppet army traitors hear this name, they will be frightened, the wind is loud, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, but also let the Kuomintang see that although our communist army is poorly equipped, it also has a first-class excellent special combat team! Also, it is called the Jianghu Special Combat Team, which has a good name and has a certain appeal, which shows that the power of the Jianghu is also resisting Japan under the unity and leadership of our Communist Party! ”
Li Manjiang also quipped with great interest; "All of your Jianghu special combat team have unique skills, all of them have martial arts, as long as they are sharpened a little, they can be sharp and born in the near future, if our detachment needs it in the future, please support it vigorously."
"Chief of Staff Li's family said that," Lu Caiting replied with a smile; "When the time comes, as long as you need it, give an order, and we will help you wholeheartedly!"
At this time, Daddy Qin stood up and said to Lin Zhifeng; "Political Commissar Lin, your battalion and that team have been arranged, and my old man will also ask for a battalion or team?"
"Oh," Lin Zhifeng couldn't help but look at him with his eyes when he heard him say this, and asked in surprise; "Daddy is so old, can he still march and fight?" With her questioning, everyone's eyes looked at Daddy Qin.
Daddy Qin smacked his lips and replied confidently; "Carrying a gun to fight, our old bones are no longer useful, but I can forge swords for you in the rear, I specially invited a few old guys this time, they have all worked in Muyang Iron Mine Factory to make guns and cannons before, we will not only forge swords for you this time, but also make grenades and ......mines for you."
Before Daddy Qin finished speaking, Bi Xingzhou stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said excitedly; "Old comrade, your idea and proposal are too good, yes, we can build our own, build a large number of mines, especially mines, it plays an important role in the devil's sweep of the countryside, so that the devil can not move an inch, after I go back this time, I also want to learn from you, build a mine and grenade squad in our detachment, old comrade, is it difficult to build these things?"
Daddy Qin narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before replying; "It's not difficult, listen to my guys, the mountains and rocks in the area behind the general Ao contain a large amount of iron ore and saltpeter, we can extract iron from iron ore, saltpeter and potassium nitrate for making explosives, we don't have enough iron, we can also add iron ore to the mine filler, after the explosion, the lethality is also powerful."
Ning Chenlong smiled and comforted Daddy Qin; "Dad, don't worry, I still have a few young people from the Northeast here, they have worked in the Shenyang Arsenal, and I will work with you when the time comes."
At this time, a villager walked in and said to Zhao Sihai; "Village Chief, the venue is fully arranged, everyone is waiting in the dam, and the meeting can be held."
The empty dam was crowded with people, all eyes were on the stage, people were looking forward to it, Bi Xingzhou, Li Manjiang, Duan Xingguo, Zhao Sihai and other groups stood in front of the long table set up on the stage, facing the crowd, the leaders of the three detachments were all gray military uniforms, military hats, particularly conspicuous.
Zhao Sihai raised his arm and waved his hand, speaking in his rough and majestic voice; "Folks, now I invite Comrade Bi Xingzhou, political commissar of the Suxi Detachment of the New Fourth Army, to speak!"
A warm applause broke out in the empty dam, Bi Xingzhou raised his arms and waved to show his gratitude to everyone, and after the applause gradually subsided, he spoke aloud; "Comrades, folks! Now that the Japanese imperialists have launched a criminal war of aggression against our country, they have already reached our doorstep, forcibly occupied our fields and homes, raped and plundered, and innocently killed our relatives and compatriots. What are we going to do? We don't want to be slaves! Therefore, we must resist, we must unite to fight against the Japanese invaders, until we drive them out of China, and at this critical moment for the nation, our Communist Party has come forward, firmly raised the banner of resistance against Japan, and also called on the people of the whole country to rise up to resist Japan, which is obvious to all in China and even in the whole world! Our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are the people's army, the army of your people, and the army of resistance against Japan! Now the little devils and the traitor puppet army are carrying out township sweeping activities everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and we must smash the rampant activities of the devils and traitors and deal a heavy blow! The New Fourth Army is developing and growing, and in response to the needs of the struggle, we have set up another independent column of the New Fourth Army in the Mongolian and Mongolian areas, and now, on behalf of the Mongolian regional party committee and the Soviet and Anhui military sub-districts, I announce that the New Fourth Army's independent column of the Mongolian Mountains has been formally established! ”
Political Commissar Bi's sonorous and agitated voice resounded in the sky, and then the crowd burst into applause and cheers.
Li Manjiang also waved his hand and spoke; "Comrades, this army has just been established, and we still have to face many difficulties in front of us, but we should not be afraid, we must believe in the masses of the people, believe in our party, we will definitely temper ourselves in the struggle, stand out, become strong, your equipment and clothing supplies, our party organization is raising donations everywhere, and it will be solved for you soon," he paused, cleared his throat, and continued to say in a loud voice; "Now, on behalf of the party organizations and military sub-divisions, I announce the list of leaders of the New Fourth Army's Mengshan Anti-Japanese Independent Column, with Comrade Lin Zhifeng as the political commissar, Comrade Zhao Sihai as the captain, Comrade Lu Caiting as the deputy captain, Comrade Ning Chenlong as the chief of staff, and Comrade Duan Xingguo as the military instructor!"
There was applause again, cheers, gongs and drums, the mountains responded, the earth trembled, Lin Zhifeng, Zhao Sihai, Lu Caiting, Ning Chenlong, Duan Xingguo and other five people also raised their hands to let everyone know.
The crowd was boiling passionately and began to move, Lin Zhifeng saw this, and hurriedly arranged loudly; "Comrades, fellow villagers, everyone be quiet, you see, there are tables on the left and right sides of the stage, local folks, please go to the right table to register for the army, and comrades from outside to sign up for the army at the left table."
After a period of commotion, the crowd naturally formed two rows of people to sign up for the army in order, and after signing up for the army, the villagers immediately put on a big red flower for him, and the scene was really joyful, elated, and unique.
The leaders who presided over the meeting on the rostrum were also moved to tears by the scene in front of them, they did not expect that in this remote corner of the mountain village, people's anti-Japanese sentiment would be so high, and even a little urgent, and they sincerely supported the Communist Party and the New Fourth Army.
Inside the empty dam because people were lining up on both sides, the middle was empty, at this time, seven or eight big men with guns and ammunition boxes strode panting, and the first man was a man with open chest and sleeves, and there was a green python embroidery on his chest and arms, he carried a dozen rifles, and some short guns and binoculars hung around his neck, and he looked rough and fierce, and he ripped open his throat and shouted; "Little Qinglong, Second Young Master Lu!"
Lu Caiting also recognized these men at a glance on the rostrum, it was a group of green forest bandits rescued from the guns of the devil puppet army in the woods on the bank of the Yuma River that night, they also occupied a camp in a cave near Jiangjun'ao, and promised to let them join the independent column of the New Fourth Army that night, but they did not expect that they would keep their promises and move their own family resources.
Lu Caiting turned around and said to Lin Zhifeng; "Fourth sister, this is a group of bandits, they are willing to join our column, and I promised them, you see that they have sent us so many weapons and ammunition, which can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow."
Lin Zhifeng glanced at the person who came, roughly estimated the guns and ammunition, and immediately exclaimed in surprise; "Alas, fifty or sixty guns, more than a dozen boxes of ammunition, what a gift, let's go meet them, Lao Zhao, all weapons must be kept in a centralized and proper manner, registered, and found the most reliable person to take care of them, and distribute them uniformly when the time comes."
A group of people hurriedly walked off the rostrum, stepped forward to greet the heroes who came to send guns and ammunition, this line of people is the general Ao Jiuqu Cave of the green forest Ma Pang Si Python and a group, Lu Caiting to both sides of the introduction of everyone one by one, the two sides admired the greetings, the words were very speculative, Bi Xingzhou, Li Manjiang was even more happy, they also looked at the young deputy captain Lu Caiting found by Lin Zhifeng, just this large number of weapons and ammunition is greedy, there is also a Japanese army crooked machine gun, Zhao Sihai immediately ordered someone to move the guns and ammunition to the designated warehouse.
A villager came to report to Zhao Sihai; "Captain, all the registration for joining the army has been completed, and now it is almost noon, and the villagers have set up the wine and food in the ancestral hall, after we finish eating, we will arrange the company, platoon, and squad in the afternoon."
Zhao Sihai immediately warmly invited everyone; "Let's go, today is a great day, let's have a few drinks happily."
Lin Zhifeng also instructed Ning Chenlong; "Comrade Xiao Ning, after dinner, I will fill in the names of several heroes and arrange them into the third battalion."
"Wait," Pang Si Python suddenly stopped Lu Caiting and said anxiously; "Brother Lu, there is one more thing I am afraid I have to rely on you to rescue, that night we attacked the devil's grain convoy, the brothers were scattered, and then they all came back one after another, fortunately, there were not a few deaths, but now I get the news that several brothers were chased by the devils to the Horseshoe Bay area of the Yuma River, although they escaped the pursuit of the devils, but they were tied up as bandits by the people in the Horseshoe Bend area, and I heard that they will be beheaded in the next two days...... Among them are my brother 'Mammoth Giant Elephant' Cao Jiu and his sister Cao Shimei, we are friends for the rest of our lives......"
"Oh, there is such a thing," Lu Caiting pondered for a moment, relieved; "Fourth Brother Pang, don't worry, the Horseshoe Bay and Womatan are all members of the Zhu family, and there are martial arts predecessors 'Dividing Water Jiaolong' Zhu Pengsheng and his pair of daughters 'Langli Furong' Zhu Ran and 'Thousand Hands and Hundred Spirits' Zhu Ke. Zhu Meng, the 'vigorous and fierce' of Horseshoe Bay, they are all heroes and heroes with chivalrous hearts, although the brothers are not familiar with them, but I Qinglongtang because of the water transportation business, and they have a good relationship, moreover, the second lady of Woma Beach Zhu Ke just visited me, I immediately went to Horseshoe Bay with Hu'er, and told them to be righteous, if it doesn't work, I will come back to call people, even if they want to rob them back. ”
Lin Zhifeng looked at Lu Caiting, a little worried; "Is it a bit weak for the two of you to go, you don't want to choose a few people to go together, I'm afraid this is also caused by the bandits during these periods, everyone has a deep view of the green forest friends, there is a misunderstanding in the middle, the behavior on the green forest road should be treated separately, can not be generalized, you have to explain to them patiently."
Lu Caiting nodded in agreement; "Fourth sister, don't worry, I am measured, the reason why I don't want too many people is to show our sincerity." As it was, he turned to Ning Chenlong and commanded; "You and the political commissar, the captain is a good student to treat my fourth brother Pang, and that tiger should also give him a big name, just call him Lu Xiaohu, you go and change the roster later."
Zhao Sihai also said to Lu Caiting; "Deputy Captain, don't worry, I will treat these friends well, and our party's policy is also to unite all forces that can be united, go early and return early."
Lu Caiting also resigned to Political Commissar Bi, Chief of Staff Li, and Instructor Duan, and then called Lu Xiaohu down the mountain in the crowd, in fact, Pang Sipython and his party were in the general Ao Jiuqu Cave next to Dongqiao Village to occupy the mountain as the king, but their rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest and never harass Dongqiao Village, so the villagers here are not disgusted with them.
