Meng Qingshan said to the members of this new unit: "Comrades, from now on, we are a formed anti-United Nations force, although it is only a young unit, we need to grow in the flames of war, we have veterans who have been in the army for many years, and some are peasants who have just put down their hoes, the arduous conquest and the years of suffering have tempered our will, strengthened our faith, and tested our loyalty, we are a group of wounded tigers, licking their wounds, looking for the enemy's weakness, Always ready to unleash a thunderous roar to deliver a fatal blow to your enemies. It is hoped that everyone will integrate into this team as soon as possible, respect and trust the comrades around them, care for and love their subordinates, obey the command of their superiors, strengthen communication, unite and cooperate, and support each other, so that the independent division will become a united whole and warm family.

After the meeting, the heads of the units at all levels summoned their subordinate personnel to form their units, divided them into dormitories, and received weapons, equipment, and other combat materials.

After lunch, Meng Qingshan asked his respective company commanders to bring their subordinates to fetch water and boil water for a bath, clean up the lice all over their bodies and shave their heads.

He also ordered the reconnaissance platoon to go out to reconnoiter the situation, and the three companies randomly went out of the camp to hunt, stood guard to explain the military regulations of the Independent Division of the Anti-Japanese Union, and the military song, and the baggage company and propaganda team used the captured cloth to make military uniforms.

Meng Qingshan and Wang Wennian went into the house to study their future plans.

In the room, Meng Qingshan asked, "Lao Wang, do you still have the contact information of our Northeast Low Party?" ”

"No, I just know one, and it was reported by Xie Wendong and destroyed, and the rest is not something that a small regiment commander of mine can know, after all, my background is not very good, I didn't tell me too much, only the division commander knows more contact information, but the division commander died in battle." Wang Wennian lowered his head and said.

"Hey! It seems that we can't contact the organization now, and we have to rely on ourselves. ”

After talking to Wang Wennian, Meng Qingshan asked Li Youde to instruct: "Lao Li, you have to do three things when you go out to the group this time, one is to listen to the situation in the neighborhood and the latest movements of the little devils, and strive to get a map, second, to see where there are the Japanese army's pioneer regiments, and strive to write down their numbers, guns and other information in detail, and third, to see if you can contact the comrades of the First Route Army. ”

"Rest assured, commander, I will ensure that the task is completed."

Later, Meng Qingshan went to the baggage company and the newly formed company to check the situation

In the early morning of March 29, 1939, the sleeping mountains were woken up by the sound of neat running and passwords, and more than 300 troops were doing the same thing at the same time - morning exercises. The weather was still cold, but the bright moonlight still stared nostalgically at the hurried warriors and refused to leave, and there were men and women in the playground, fully armed and following the advancing ranks, panting heavily and exhaling clouds of white mist. Kettles, bullet belts, grenade belts, and bayonets clashed rhythmically, but they couldn't keep up with the crisp shock of footsteps.

Meng Qingshan ran in the queue of the guard squad for 20 minutes, and felt that the troops were changing, unlike yesterday's chaos, solidarity and mutual assistance, gritting teeth, and insisting that this is the external embodiment of the unit's combat effectiveness and cohesion, and is the spiritual guarantee for the unit's victory.

After breakfast, Meng Qingshan gathered everyone, Meng Qingshan pulled out a folded 'red five-star flag' from his arms and handed it to Wang Wennian and said, "Chief of Staff, raise the flag!" ”

Looking at Meng Qingshan in confusion, he understood Meng Qingshan's intentions in an instant, Wang Wennian shouted in a hoarse voice: "Blow the trumpet and raise the flag!"

This trumpet was originally captured in a battle in the Western Expedition, although he did not blow it very well with a worn-out military trumpet, but it did not affect the solemnity and solemnity of the flag-raising ceremony at all.

All the Anti-United Nations soldiers twisted their heads to the flagpole made of ordinary large tree trunks, and after the two temporary Anti-United Nations military policemen fixed the flagpole, they slowly raised the military flag.

Salute.................................

"Sing the Military Song"

You don't see, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is the captive, please Changying,

You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds!

The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life?

The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting!

Abandon my old pen, and write my wartime,

More than 100,000 comrades sang war songs and joined the army.

Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the Japanese slaves!

Although the singing was intermittent and stumbling, this group of soldiers slowly sang the temperament of a soldier, and after saluting and singing the military song, Meng Qingshan said: "I know you have some doubts about what this flag represents, the big five-pointed star in the military flag represents China, and the four small five-pointed stars represent the four classes of workers, peasants, petty bourgeoisie and national bourgeoisie. The flag is red, symbolizing the revolution, and the star is yellow, indicating that the Chinese nation is a yellow race. The five five-pointed stars are intertwined and intertwined, symbolizing the unity of the Chinese people. Each small star has a sharp angle facing the center point of the big star, which indicates our centripetal intention towards the party, and also represents that our resistance to the United Nations can be indelible like a spark that can burn the prairie fire. ”

"From today on, the flag is in the people, the flag is destroyed, and we will burn the entire northeast land like a spark and drive away the invaders."

"The flag is in the people, the flag is destroyed, and the people die."

After raising the flag, Meng Qingshan ordered someone to take down the military flag, not because he didn't want to hang it all the time, but because he was afraid that it would be discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance plane, which would be bad.

After the flag is raised, both recruits and veterans will focus on the most basic queue training. And in the afternoon there was a training session for physical fitness and assassination. At noon, Meng Qingshan led several of his company commanders to practice the military physical boxing of later generations, a total of sixteen movements, seemingly simple but the essence of the moves, if used properly, you can control the enemy. He first played it in its entirety, then broke down each movement to demonstrate the tips and precautions in detail, and then took them to play three times. Ask them to learn quickly, and teach the soldiers after using it proficiently, he also wants to make some other friends, but unfortunately he learned a set of military physical boxing in military training at the university. There is also a learning from the old Anti-Japanese Union fighters about the operation, dismantling and simple maintenance of Japanese rifles and Hanyang-made rifles.

Even Meng Qingshan asked the only anti-United Nations fighter who knew how to fire artillery as an instructor, and made several wooden mortar models to teach everyone some simple artillery operations. In particular, the operation of mortars, which can play an important role in mountain operations.

After dinner, Meng Qingshan summoned his subordinates and above to teach them to read, and in order to relieve them, he also told them some small stories about the Red Army and the Three Kingdoms, since listening to the little stories told by Meng Qingshan, I didn't expect that this group of anti-Japanese fighters was originally unwilling to learn literacy as soon as they heard it, but after listening to Meng Qingshan's small stories, the literacy speed was very fast, the reason was that Meng Qingshan in order to encourage them to be literate, he told them that as long as you all know ten words, tell them a small story, In this era when there is no radio and television, they are very happy to hear such a vivid story, and they are all actively learning and helping each other to learn.

In the first few days, during the day, Meng Qingshan had to personally demonstrate the training movements, act as a tactical instructor, and check the results of the training, and at night also teach his subordinates literacy and some small stories of the Anti-Japanese War, including guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, and other theoretical knowledge, so that he would go back to sleep when he was tired.

Although the training was intense and hard, it was surprising that no one thought of becoming a deserter. Those veterans of the Anti-United Nations who have survived the battlefield know the truth of sweating more in peacetime and shedding less blood in wartime. They know that the more they learn, the more hope they have of surviving on the battlefield.

For those young people in Northeast China, although the training intensity is high, for them who have to do at least ten hours of high-intensity labor every day in the Devil's Coal Mine, this training is not a very heavy burden.

And you can eat a full meal here every day, although the food is not very good, but at least you can eat enough, and even meat a lot of the time. Of course, these meats are not pigs, cattle and mutton, but the game that Meng Qingshan sent people to hit, fortunately, the deep mountains where he is located are not like the mountains of later generations where there is no prey to be found, and now the mountains are full of animals in the spring season, and there are wild things everywhere, but you can't use guns, you can only rely on cold weapons and traps to catch them.

Of course, there are some thorns, but after being locked in a small dark room for a day, they will be honest immediately when they come out, and they will no longer dare to cheat and play tricks.

In the course of the training for nearly a month, there was no actual combat test, and it is not known what exactly the troops were being trained. But Meng Qingshan and his subordinates ate almost all the wild animals in the deep mountains.

This undeveloped mountain forest is so rich that the population and number of wild animals in the forest are almost unimaginable for future generations. Even if Meng Qingshan knew that some animals would belong to the protected objects that were absolutely not allowed to be hunted in the future life. But if the people are gone, what do they want these animals to do, not to mention the situation that the troops are physically exhausted and urgently need high-fat and high-calorie food supplements, Meng Qingshan can't take care of anything.
