Chapter 31: Yunjian
Ma Zheng did not stay long at the division headquarters, and led the convoy back to Hades Mountain early the next morning. When he left, Ma Zheng took with him 1,000 sets of temporary new military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and also took away 22 military and political cadres supported by the division headquarters, and at the same time, the 120th Division also set the level of the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in southern Chanan, which was a regimental guerrilla detachment.
After a whole day of rapid marching, Ma Zheng and the others successfully returned to Hades Mountain.
The command, all the officers of the partisan detachment above the platoon level came. At dinner, I received an order, and after dinner, a meeting of all commanders and fighters was held at the headquarters.
When Ma Zheng and the others arrived at the headquarters, everyone had already arrived, and seeing that Ma Zheng had brought in more than a dozen strangers, all the officers hurriedly got up.
Xu Yinglong came to the top seat, and then said in a deep voice: "Now I announce an order of the division headquarters, which has been reviewed and approved by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, appointing Ma Zheng as the head of the detachment, Comrade Yun Jian as the political commissar, Comrade Huang Sicheng as the chief of staff of the detachment, and Comrade Wang Hansen as the director of the political department and director of the logistics department. ”
After reading out the order, Ma Zheng continued: "Let's welcome Commissar Yun with warm applause!" ”
"Bang Bang!"
After a burst of warm applause, the middle-aged man who came in with Ma Zheng took a step forward, and then said loudly: "Hello everyone, I am Yunjian, recommended by the head of the division and approved by the head of the headquarters, from now on I will be the political commissar of the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Chanan, and in the future I will fight together with comrades and create more brilliant achievements, thank you!" ”
Yun Jian's speech was very brief, but it was very clear, and it could be seen that this person was not old-fashioned or wordy.
In fact, when he asked the division headquarters for cadre support, Ma Zheng told Division Commander He that he needed a capable assistant who could not only do political work, but also lead troops to fight, and did not need the kind of person who could only play lip service.
After fully considering Ma Zheng's request, Master He recommended this Yunjian to Xu Yinglong. According to Division Commander He, this Yunjian is not simple, he was a division political commissar of the Red Fourth Front Army before, he was a good hand at fighting, and he also served as a regiment commander for three years, and now he is serving as the deputy commander of the 120th Division.
When Ma Zheng was on the road, he sat in a car with Yun Jian, and through a whole day of contact, Ma Zheng knew that this Yun political commissar was really like what Commander He said, he was not a safe master in his bones, and he did not have the strong political atmosphere of other political commissars in the Eighth Route Army, but was more like a military commander.
Moreover, when discussing the war against Japan, this political commissar also had some ideas, and it could be seen that the military quality was indeed excellent. Such a talented person who can be literate and martial is really a treasure in the Eighth Route Army, and Ma Zheng is really happy to be assigned to the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Chanan.
Because he took advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was stunned to transport equipment for the division headquarters, the results of the troops had not yet been completely counted, so when he left, Ma Zheng asked Huang Sicheng and others to count them first, and then report to him after he returned.
Ma Zheng also wanted to know how much material they had captured in this battle, so after introducing Yun Jian, he asked directly: "Chief of Staff, have the results been counted?" ”
"The statistics are out, we killed a total of 2,477 Japanese soldiers and captured 321 prisoners in this battle, but more than 20 people died of serious injuries in the past two days, and in fact, only 295 Japanese soldiers were captured. In addition, we also captured 6,227 38 large covers, 34 Wang 8 boxes, 254 light and heavy machine guns, 28 mortars, 12 75mm field guns, 58 grenadiers, 77 war horses, 124 horses, and more than 2 million rounds of ammunition. In addition, more than 30,000 catties of grain and more than 200 barrels of oil were seized, as well as more than 7,000 pieces of cotton clothes and a number of other miscellaneous things. Huang Sicheng said loudly.
Hearing that so many had been seized, everyone was stunned, including Ma Zheng himself. However, Ma Zheng also knew that the reason why they could have such a big gain this time was a complete accident, if it hadn't happened to be the arrival of the military train transporting arms, their harvest might not even be one-third.
"What about our losses, have they been counted?" Ma Zheng asked again.
The time was too hurried before, so the statistics of its own casualties were not very accurate.
"The statistics are out, 531 were killed and 366 were wounded, of which 76 are afraid to have their limbs amputated." Huang Sicheng said in a deep voice.
"Although the casualties are not small, compared to the record this time, it is worth it. What are you going to do with those soldiers who are seriously injured and disabled? Ma Zheng asked again.
"According to the regulations, they can no longer stay in the army, and when they are healed, they will be given a travel fee and a disability pension to send them back to their hometowns." Huang Sicheng said.
"No, how can they live when they are disabled? Moreover, they were wounded in our troops, and the troops should take care of them for the rest of their lives. Ma Zheng said with a frown.
"Detachment leader, the truth is this, but our troops are often transferred, if we bring so many disabled people"
Huang Sicheng's words were not finished, but Ma Zheng understood the meaning, and this way of dealing with it is also the practice of this era, but Ma Zheng himself can't accept it.
After thinking about it, Ma Zheng said loudly: "From now on, we must not abandon a brother, this is the case on the battlefield, and it is also the case outside the battlefield, even if we become disabled, we can't abandon them." ”
"Detachment leader, how are you going to settle those seriously wounded?" Huang Sicheng said.
"Those who are disabled and unable to go to the battlefield can be placed in a safe place, those who can work can do other work, and the troops who have lost their ability to work can be raised. While this may put a lot of pressure on the troops, the positive is even more important. Ma Zheng said.
After speaking, Ma Zheng suddenly realized that there was now a political commissar in the army, and immediately said: "Political commissar, what do you think?" ”
Yun Jian thought for a moment and said, "There is indeed a problem about how to accommodate the wounded, especially those who are seriously injured or disabled by their injuries. The usual practice is to find a medical team on the spot to solve the problem, and if it can't be solved, stay at the local villager's house, give the villager some money, and wait for the wounded to find the unit on their own. ”
"And what if it doesn't get better?" Ma Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"It's good or not, it's up to them to make it their own!" Yun Jian said in a heavy tone.
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn, and everyone was immersed in the joy of winning the battle, and they did not think about the problem of the wounded.
"I don't care what others do, but in our guerrillas, as long as there is one guerrilla and one person left, we must not lose our brothers. Besides, the wounded are the bravest fighters in battle, if they are wounded in battle, they will leave the army, or even fend for themselves, then who will dare to fight with the little devils in the future. Ma Zheng said loudly.
"Detachment leader, I have carefully considered the method you just mentioned, and it does have a certain feasibility, but the place where the seriously wounded are placed must be safe, otherwise it is likely to become the target of the little devil's attack." Yun Jian said.
"That's no problem, now that Mount Hades has been transformed into an impregnable steel fortress, there is no problem in terms of safety. Secondly, in the next stage, we will garrison troops deep in the Sumu Mountain, where the mountains are high and densely forested and the terrain is flat, which is the most suitable place to settle the wounded. Ma Zheng said.
"Then let's do it!"
After discussing the matter of the wounded, Ma Zheng asked loudly again: "Staff Officer Xu, what is the movement of the little devil?" ”
Xu Xiaolin hurriedly got up and said: "Yesterday, I received news that after Sakai Hoji fled back to Datong, he immediately ordered the Third Brigade of the Chariot to urgently go north to Fengzhen, apparently to prevent our army from taking the opportunity to capture Fengzhen County. At the same time, the 1st Division of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army, which was stationed in Qianqi, re-entered Hongshaba Town and was rushing to repair the railway that had been damaged by us. ”
"Are there any signs of a build-up of the Japanese army?"
"Nope! However, the Japanese army sent additional reinforcements to Xinghe, Shangdu, and Shangyi, and the fortifications of several nearby counties were also strengthened! Xu Xiaolin replied.
"It seems that we are scared!" Ma Zheng said proudly.
"It's good to be scared, but it's not easy to fight when the little devil shrinks!" Wang Hansen, who has a cautious personality, said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter, if they don't come out, we just take the opportunity to develop the troops, and when we are ready, it will be time for the show to begin!" Ma Zheng said loudly. PS: Starting next week, the book "King of Soldiers" will end streaking, and the first recommendation is a strong push for classified channels, and there will be two updates a day from next week.
