Chapter 7: Harvest
Early the next morning, Meng Qingshan washed his face with clean water, and asked people to call Li Youde and others over. "Qian Zhuang will tell us about our family background." Meng Qingshan said to Qian Zhuang, because Qian Zhuang had been an apprentice in Qian Zhuang and had learned this.
"Report to the division commander, at present there are 27 people in our division, except for one person who was slightly injured in yesterday's battle, now there are 26 combatants, one light machine and more than 400 bullets have been captured, 20 M1891 Mosin-Nagant rifles and 400 bullets, 20 Hanyang-made rifles and 100 bullets, 10 old sleeves, 100 bullets, 2 pistols and 20 bullets. More than 50 grenades. In addition, 20 bayonets and 5 short daggers were seized. 300 pieces of ocean, 500 catties of grain, 30 chickens, 20 ducks, and 5 pigs and sheep were confiscated.
"It's okay, this time we can be regarded as a bumper harvest, it didn't take one person to eliminate the little devils, and replenish the ammunition on the spot."
"By the way, where did Hanyang-made and the old sleeve come from?" Meng Qingshan asked suspiciously.
"Division, commander, I guess it's all the villagers', they use it for hunting." As soon as Meng Qingshan heard about hunting, he would think of his grandfather telling him when he was a child, when the devil entered the Northeast, every family would have a gun or two guns, one was self-defense. The second is hunting, in addition to the source of guns from the little devils, most of them are donated by the common people to support the anti-Japanese resistance, and after the liberation, guns are banned throughout the country, and hundreds of thousands of guns have been handed over in the three northeastern provinces alone.
"What's next?" "I listen to the teacher"
"I also listen to the teacher"
"Ditto."
"Qian Zhuang, you take someone to ask if there is anyone willing to be a soldier in the name of the village that was rescued yesterday, if there is, bring it over, if not, each person will be sent a piece of ocean and 2 catties of grain to let them leave here quickly to go to relatives, after we killed more than 20 little devils this time, if the villagers do not leave, they will be retaliated by the little devils, by the way, by the way, ask where the little devils came from yesterday, and ask them if they know the news of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and the rest of the people quickly packed their things and prepared to leave at any time."
"Understood." Meng Qingshan first asked people to make a small amount of fried rice and flour cakes, so that everyone could bring food with them, even if they were chased by the Japanese army, they could not let the brothers go hungry, and the rest were pushed by a small cart first, and after instructing Meng Qingshan to pick up the captured map, where to study it carefully, they were in Yushu County at this time, it was too close to Haierbin, and Haierbin was one of the important cities of the Japanese army, it must be heavily garrisoned, if the little devil found out, he would not have to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress this anti-United Nations team, Where should we go? It would be nice if you had a staff officer or a backer by your side!
Meng Qingshan, who was in a trance, suddenly woke up from several consecutive noises from the door, only to realize that he was a little distracted, and hurriedly turned around and found that it was Qian Zhuang who recruited the soldiers, and hurriedly asked: "Qian Zhuang, how is there anyone willing to join the army?" ”
Qian Zhuang's face was about to bloom at this time, and he said with a smile: "Commander, guess how many people are willing to participate." ”
"Guess your size, hurry up, don't sell it there, be careful I let you be a guy." Meng Qingshan said anxiously.
"When I went just now, division commander, before I could ask them, they asked me if we would recruit soldiers, I hurriedly said recruitment, but except for 5 people who went to join their relatives, the rest of the people were willing to join the army, just?"
"Just what?"
"There are 10 women who are also going to join the army, I didn't dare to agree at the time, so I brought them all with me, what do you think of this, division commander?
"Accept it, as long as we can walk the way and pick up a gun, we will all want it."
"Are you really willing to join us?" Meng Qingshan asked in disbelief.
"Really."
Since the little devils invaded the three northeastern provinces, the people of the Northeast did not want to resist the Japanese, but the Northeast did not take the lead in resisting the Japanese, the Northeast Army did not let go of the three northeastern provinces without a single shot, the anti-Japanese volunteers were fierce in the first few years, but now they have also been eliminated, and the Anti-Japanese Federation does not have the prestige of the first few years, and the little devils also prevent the people from joining the army and gather most of them together to form a large tun, and there has been a message of where and where to catch the Anti-Japanese Federation today or yesterday to catch the anti-Japanese personnel, and cut off their heads at every turn, This is a typical example of a little devil.
"The devil's hand is very poisonous, so that although the common people have a good impression of the confrontation union, they dare not join the army out of fear of the devil's revenge." In Meng Qingshan's view, this is because the Anti-Japanese Federation is too scattered, and the Kwantung Army of the little devils is too strong, so that the base area that the Anti-Japanese Federation has just established will be broken by a large number of Japanese puppet troops in a few months, so that the common people gradually no longer believe in the Anti-Japanese Union.
"The division commander will recruit these people, do you have to let our class pick first, my class is not full yet! Counting me, there are only 5 people," Qian Zhuang asked in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll let you pick first, but these people have to be trained before they can be assigned to you."
"No need for division commanders, these men are all good hunters, they can all shoot guns, as long as they are put in my class, I will definitely train them to be steel-like anti-United Nations fighters."
"Okay, then just assign it to the class! As for the female soldiers, let them form a women's class! "By the way, the identity of the division commander and the group of little devils was also asked from the fellow villagers, they are not the regular army of the little devils, they are the newly arrived Japanese reclamation regiment not far from here, and they came to arrest laborers.
At this time, there was a murmur outside, Meng Qingshan listened carefully that it was the first squad leader Zhang Facai and the second squad leader Zhao Fugui arguing there, Meng Qingshan opened the door and walked out, and saw Zhang Facai and Zhao Fugui holding a light machine gun and a bullet alone, arguing there.
"What's the noise?" Meng Qingshan shouted loudly. Hearing the voice of the division commander, Zhang Facai and Zhao Fugui stopped arguing, Zhang Facai walked directly to Meng Qingshan and said: "Division commander, look at the second squad leader, he grabbed my light machine gun." ”
"The division commander said nonsense, obviously I captured it, and he grabbed my machine gun as soon as he came over."
"What a robbery, I haven't seen a gun! Haven't you heard of it being seized and going back to the public! After speaking, he asked Xiaohuzi to bring the machine gun.
"Division commander, give the machine gun to the first squad! Our class will definitely become our teacher's sharp knife, and we will fight wherever you point. Zhang Facai said.
"The division commander will hand over the machine gun to the second squad! My squad is definitely stronger than the first squad, they won't waste them with machine guns, and one of my men was a machine gunner in the Northeast Army before. Zhao Fugui said.
"No, isn't it possible to learn? Besides, what's so difficult, just take a few shots. ”
"Where can I get you bullets and let me practice."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, Fugui is right, we have less bullets now, so we have to use it in the right place, and this light machine gun will be given to the second shift."
"Thank you, Teacher, don't worry, Teacher, I will definitely protect it like my own child." Zhao Fugui puffed up his chest and patted his chest and said.
"Return the child, you old bachelor, let you be beautiful first, and wait for the next time I capture a cannon and starve you to death." Zhang Facai muttered quietly with a jealous look.
