Lao Feng and Deputy Political Commissar Gao jointly wrote a letter to Yang Bangzi, which was based on the fact that a wounded soldier from northern Shaanxi wanted to marry a widow, reminding Yang Bangzi that the army was currently on the rise, and the local people's hearts were also closest to the army, so it was better not to advocate this kind of thing.

When political cadres look at problems, they look at them from the party's side, not from the people's side, and the policies and regulations must not be shaken by Lao Feng and his people. Although Yang Bangzi is also a member of the party, he himself has experienced these things with his heart, and the policy is flexible for him.

So he sent a letter back to Lao Feng and them, with a total of thirty-two words: "The widow's remarriage is all voluntary." Veterans have a family, and rightfully so. Government agencies, don't stand in the way. Clan relatives, good words to persuade each other. ”

See, the level of Yang sticks who have been on the big resistance is still different! This kind of thing seems to be a violation of relevant policies, but if we think about it from another angle, the fact that these disabled veterans were resettled on the spot after being discharged from the army can not only continue to unite the people for our party and the Eighth Route Army in the locality, but also directly dispel the collective emotions existing in the troops.

What are you most afraid of when you are a soldier fighting? Is it death? It's really not, the thing of death doesn't come just as it is, before being shot, no one believes that the next person to die is themselves, so death is invisible and untouchable for soldiers, and it's useless to think about it!

In fact, what those who carry guns are most afraid of is that no one cares if they are injured, no one mentions meritorious service, and no one buries them when they die! Those who lack arms and legs can't fight devils, and it's hard to go home and farm, and there is no way back, and this must be managed by the army and the local government. As for meritorious service, if the superiors take the credit on themselves. When a warrior is cold. Thousands of miles away from home born and died. In case of death, there is not even a tomb. No one cares about the relatives in my hometown, what kind of strength is this soldier doing!

The instructions given by Yang Bangzi were immediately reflected in a series of new policies announced by the Political Section of the Division, and one of these policies was to cite this one: If the cadres and soldiers of the 20th Regiment and all the party, government, and military personnel of the 11th Division are willing to stay in the jurisdiction of the 11th Division if they are wounded and cannot continue to participate in the revolution, they are willing to stay in the jurisdiction of the 11th Division according to their own wishes. The local government will properly resettle, participate in production or other work as much as possible, and those who have wives and children, old and young, will be resettled together, and the government that has not started a family will help solve the problem of starting a family, and so on.

As soon as this kind of new policy came out, it was really enthusiastic among all the people of the 20th Regiment and the 11th Division! It is said that Commander Yang has arranged everyone from the day he joined the army to the day he beat the little Japanese devils! used to say that there would be a battle with Commander Yang and meat to eat! Now I have to add one, I have a daughter-in-law!

Of course, discipline was still in force in the troops, and this new policy given by Yang Bangzi was aimed at the disabled and the elderly and retired officers and soldiers, and the entire 11th Division was harvested in the summer of June. A total of 170 disabled and elderly retired soldiers were resettled, of whom 109 volunteered to stay in northwest Hebei. No more returning to his hometown.

The first batch of veterans who had coordinated with the common people and the local government reported 19 cases, and Lao Feng and Deputy Political Commissar Gao suggested to Yang Bangzi that the sub-district should hold a ceremony for these 19 pairs of newcomers, no matter how it is said, it has been bloodshed and sweated for our party for many years, and now they are placed in the locality, and the sub-district is considered their relatives.

It just so happened that the devils on the side of the camp were withdrawn from the army, and the most lively fighting in Shanxi was one north and one south, and the troops in the Beiyue District in Guangling, Weixian, Hunyuan and other places in the north were entangled with the sweeping troops of the devils. And Dingxiang, Wutai and other places in the south are more lively! The concentrated forces of Taiyue District jumped outside the encirclement of the devils and made trouble in Yuxian County.

The area from the middle battalion to the mouth of the West River is relatively calm, and the devils have not succeeded in repairing kilometers and strongholds, and they can no longer send troops and materials to this place for the time being, so the enemy and I are sticking to our own territory, and for Yang Bangzi, it has become "no war on the Western Front".

Therefore, Yang Bangzi decided to let the second bald dragon temporarily lead the troops to garrison in the area of Gushan and Beizenfang, and he went back to Chuankou Town to Zhang Luo to preside over a collective wedding for these nineteen disabled soldiers!

After the summer harvest and autumn planting, it is basically a small farmer's idle season, this year's spring eleventh division is not bad, the wind and rain are smooth, the crops harvested in the field are more than three or five buckets per mu than in previous years, the government wants to hold a new-style wedding, these ten miles and eight towns are rare, I have not heard of what is called a new-style wedding, this person came to see the excitement.

After more than two months of campaigning, the top and bottom of the 11th sub-district also needed to hold a meeting to commend a group of meritorious soldiers because they had won the battle, and the Lingman Administration also had to commend the villagers and cadres who had made outstanding achievements in agricultural production and front-line work.

This is still the first priority in the 11th Division! As for the congress, not only the local cadres of our party and the representatives of the officers and men of the armed forces, but also the enlightened gentlemen, the peasants, the industrial and commercial circles, and so on, this congress is basically equivalent to a small political consultative conference.

Don't underestimate this, this means that the 11th Sub-district has carried out the construction of the sub-district and the construction of the administrative office for more than a year, and has the ability to manage the water and soil of one side, so that it can bring together capable people and good people from all walks of life to discuss the anti-Japanese plan and the zoning plan.

To hold such a big meeting all of a sudden, and there are three consecutive days of activities, the security work is the top priority, and the security work during the entire meeting and the celebration meeting, Yang Bangzi handed over the security work to the senior deputy political commissar, after all, this is the old profession, the teaching brigade, the guard company, and the reconnaissance company are all under the dispatch of the senior deputy political commissar, and there is a battalion and a special training battalion on the periphery.

On the first day of the district convention, nothing happened, nothing unusual happened. The delegates spoke enthusiastically, and put forward a lot of criticisms and suggestions on some problems exposed in the daily work of the 11th Division and the Lingman Administration.

The next day is a meeting in the morning, a dinner party at noon, a theatrical performance in the afternoon, and there is no abnormal situation, the small troupe of the sub-district and the performance team sent by several townships jointly performed a performance combining the old and the new, there is a new-style Yangyang opera "Xiao Erhei Marriage", "Brother and Sister Open the Wasteland", as well as the villagers rehearsed and performed "Supporting the Army Flower Drum", "Fighting the Famine Year", chorus, solo, duet, etc., which were rehearsed spontaneously by the sub-district organs, and the most popular was the military and civilian singing competition, which was very lively!

The fellows didn't see enough, and strongly asked for another show, Yang Bangzi they couldn't enjoy watching it, and there was another show in the evening, this time there were more people who came to see, and there were people from dozens of miles away with torches to rush to Kawaguchi Town.

On the morning of the third day, there was a commendation meeting, and the 20th Regiment selected a total of five divisional combat heroes, and the 11th Division and the Lingman Administration Department selected two models for supporting the army and two models for supporting the front after research.

After lunch, it was the group wedding of the nineteen veterans in the afternoon. The wedding consisted of three parts, the first part was for the nineteen soldiers to receive the revolutionary soldier disability certificate issued by the 11th Division and the 20th Regiment, and the certificate of honorable discharge, this thing is a talisman, which I have been doing for so many years, and I can't just say it to let the family be demobilized!

To put it bluntly, for a disabled soldier of the Eighth Route Army, these two things mean that for the rest of your life after you retire from the army, as long as our government and our party are still on this territory, your eating, drinking, chewing and wrapping will be regarded as someone wrapping up!

This is called a long-term iron meal ticket earned by blood and sweat! Otherwise, in the little story I told earlier, modern young people are not convinced that old cadres enjoy special medical treatment, didn't the director say, the experience of fighting devils without people's lives, you should get this enjoyment when you are old, otherwise who will give you a war!

The second part of the wedding is the local government, that is, the Lingman Administration, the representative of the bride's maiden family speaks, and Yang Bangzi speaks on behalf of the 20th regiment and the 11th division, which means that the government certifies the legitimacy of the wedding, and the mother's family agrees to marry the daughter, and the army is the representative of the in-laws of these nineteen people.

The third part is the new wedding event, not the old-fashioned worship of heaven and earth, nineteen couples came to the stage to meet everyone, bowed to the portraits of Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and then sent by the comrades to the new house specially prepared by Kawaguchi Town, which is considered a complete merit!
