Chapter 31: The Lobbyist

Just when Zheng Weiguo was about to completely eliminate the Taihang bandits and unify Ping'an County, Sanyuzi suddenly escorted a person to the county seat to meet him. This man claimed to be a peaceful person who had important matters to meet with the head of the security corps. Sanluozi was about to report to work, so he brought this person with him.

As soon as Zheng Weiguo saw the three slippers, he couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that Sanluozi was wearing a captured Japanese army coat, but he was big, and the coat became a slim cotton jacket when he wore it, and he looked a little sharp. In addition, he carried a box of kings in his waist and a pair of binoculars around his neck, not to mention how funny it was.

Sanluozi was a little embarrassed by Zheng Weiguo's laughter, and felt uncomfortable, so he stood there twisting left and right. Yu Laogen'er and Li Dazhuang heard that the three slippers were back, and they also rushed over, and when they saw the strange appearance of the three slippers, they all laughed.

Yu Laogen'er heaved a few times and said, "Sanluozi, where did you get such a body?" Blame the fresh! ”

Sanyuzi also laughed a few times with Hehe, and said, "Last time, a group of devils sneaked across the county border and were scared away by a cold shot from us. These things were all taken from a dead devil. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "That's the last time you sent someone to report to repel the attack of a team of devils?" "During this time, there was no large-scale retaliation by the devils, but small-scale attacks often occurred. It may be that its main forces are busy moving south, and they can't take care of Ping'an County for a while.

Sanluozi said: "It's not a drop! Didn't I send a 10-shot 38 big cover? ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Look at what you can!" How many people have you grown to now? How many weapons and equipment are there? ”

As soon as he talked about this, the three slippers came to the heart. He was a little triumphant and said, "Tuanza, I won't tell you." Our guerrilla brigade now has 327 members in the main force alone, and there are more than 1,000 militias in various villages. The weapons are almost there, but there are more than 90 of the 38 big covers, more than 70 of the Hanyang Makeup, more than 30 of the old sleeves, more than 50 other miscellaneous rifles, more than 30 pistols, and 20 war horses! ”

The reason why it was able to develop so quickly was that with the help of Deputy County Magistrate Li, Sanluozi incorporated the district security brigades of the three districts in the east. The three districts in the east are the richest areas in Ping'an County, but the security brigades in these three districts have very few personnel and guns, so it would be nice if they were all as fat as Wei Laocai in the fourth district.

Yu Laogen listened and calculated, and said, "So, your main force is still short of guns?" The militia is empty-handed! ”

Sanzi slapped his thigh and said, "It's not a problem!" Now there is no shortage of people, there is a shortage of guns! I thought that even if I let people wait for guns, I couldn't let guns wait for people, so I developed the troops first. ”

Zheng Weiguo said happily: "Well said! Very good! You're the right one to wait for a gun. However, you have to remember that the task of your guerrilla brigade is not to eliminate how many devils there are, but to protect the common people. It is necessary not only to ensure the safety of their lives, but also to ensure the safety of their property as much as possible. It is necessary to develop more militia and not to rush to expand the main force. ”

Sanyuzi said: "Tuanzao, I think it is difficult for the militia to ensure the effectiveness of training in the village. At present, I have dispatched some militia members to train and act together with the main force. At the same time, a part of the main force was stationed in the villages close to the front line. In this way, if there is any situation, the troops can also respond in time. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded after hearing this, and said: "You write down some of the working methods and ideas of your guerrilla brigade on the east road, and I want the guerrilla brigades on the north and south roads to study hard." ”

Sanluozi scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's okay for me to talk about it, I can't write a lot of words." ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you can't write, wait a minute, I'll ask Xiao Feng to write it for you, and you can just tell him about it." "Xiao Feng is Feng Kun, the clerk of the regiment headquarters, and he has been practicing marksmanship hard during this time, striving to go to the battlefield as soon as possible.

Sanluozi said happily: "That dare to be good!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said again: "What difficulties do you have at present, and do you need the help of the regiment headquarters to solve them?" ”

Sanluozi said with a smile: "There is no difficulty at present, but there are too few guns." Last time, the group seat sent us dozens of Jinzao 38 big covers, but it was still not enough. I heard that the main forces captured quite a few rifles in several districts to the north? Hey, it's a pity that the security brigades of the three districts in the east don't have any guns, otherwise we would have issued them a long time ago! ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "At present, there is a shortage of guns everywhere, and I am afraid you will have to hold on for a while." After I have eliminated the bandits entrenched in District 8, I will have people go around Shanxi to see if they can buy guns. ”

Sanluozi said: "The landlords and old rich families in the three districts of our East Road have a lot of guns, and it would be nice if they could donate them to our guerrillas." ”

Zheng Weiguo looked serious and said: "I will let Deputy County Magistrate Li coordinate this matter, you can't violate discipline, otherwise I won't be able to protect you." ”

Sanyuzi smiled: "That's what I said." Tuanza, in fact, it is faster to get a gun or eat two lines! ”

Zheng Weiguo was puzzled: "Two lines? Do you mean to do it by rail? ”

Sanyuzi nodded and said, "Uh-huh! Tuanza, let me tell you, now the little devil's military vehicles are carrying a large number of arms south every day. As long as I can get him a guy, not to mention the equipment of a regiment, the equipment of a brigade is there! ”

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this matter for now, I have already arranged for someone to do it." I'll let you know when it's time to act! ”

He had long wanted the idea of the Pinghan Railway. The devils are now busy with the southern invasion, and there are a large number of military supplies on the railway every day. As long as you get a guy, it's enough for the security team to have a fat year.

It's a pity that the conditions are not ripe now, such as lack of intelligence, internal instability, and the enemy on the back of the abdomen, etc., Zheng Weiguo has to wait patiently. Of course, he didn't sit back and wait for the right moment. Liu Zida, the commander of the third company, was very familiar with the situation on the Pinghan Line, and Zheng Weiguo was ready to let him feel the situation first.

When Sanluozi heard Zheng Weiguo say this, he said happily: "Tuanzao, then we will have to count our guerrilla brigade at that time." ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Don't worry! Yours are indispensable! ”

Sanluozi said: "Then I'll thank you first!" Oh, I almost forgot, there's someone who has to see you. When I asked him what was the matter, he wouldn't say. I've brought him to the county seat, do you see it? ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "See!" I'd like to see what the holiness is! ”

After a while, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses was brought in. At a glance, this person knew that Lu Dao was a highly educated person, which was relatively rare in the Republic of China, especially in such a backward county.

Zheng Weiguo glanced at him and said, "I am Zheng Weiguo, the head of the Anti-Japanese Security Corps, I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”

The gold-rimmed glasses took off the top hat, bowed, and then said, "Contemptible Lu Junsheng, I have something important to discuss with you, and I dare to ask you to retreat." ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "No need! These are all brothers who live and die with me and share weal and pain. What do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

The golden wire glasses had no choice but to say: "The contemptible people are specially here for the safety of more than 100,000 people in Ping'an County. Now that the Japanese are about to come to the city, Ping'an County is in danger! ”

Zheng Weiguo and Yu Laogen glanced at each other, and then said: "The Japanese are rampant, does Mr. have a plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

When the gold wire glasses heard it, they felt that there was a play, and they hurriedly said: "What does Commander Zheng think of the strength of the Japanese?" ”

Zheng Weiguo replied honestly: "Very powerful!" ”

The golden wire glasses breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What Captain Zheng said is extremely true! The Japanese now have millions of troops, and it is inevitable to move south and west, but the civil strife in the Republic of China has not stopped, and they have lost Northeast China, North China, and East China, and the period of national destruction is not far away! ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded with a heavy expression and said, "According to Mr. Wang's opinion, how can Ping'an County be preserved?" ”

The golden wire glasses said: "Can Captain Zheng know Yin Rugeng?" ”

Sanyuzi interjected: "Are you talking about the traitor in Jidong?" ”

Golden Silk Glasses hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Others call him a traitor, but the people of Jidong regard him as a Buddha of all families!" Now Jidong has joined the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle and has become a part of the royal paradise. The people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the revival of all industries is far better than the Republic of China! Of course, this is a fart, otherwise Jidong would not have had such a large-scale riot.

Zheng Weiguo thought to himself, this guy looks like a dog, why do you want to be a traitor? He wanted to see what this guy was trying to do, and although he was angry in his heart, his face didn't show it.
