Soon from Baoding back and forth, Xiao Liangzi came back and brought Mr. Zhu's handwritten letter, which said that there would not be much food at present, and there was no pass from the Japanese army headquarters and a special grain transportation certificate stamped by the gendarmerie, and it was impossible to leave the city.

Mr. Zhu discussed with the fourth wife of the Zhao family, you can send someone to Jizhong to help collect grain, Mr. Zhu mentioned a person, that is, Brigade Commander Hou of the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Cooperative Army, what he means to see if he can send someone to talk to him, this guy is said to do everything.

Brigade Commander Hou has returned from the change of guard in Hejian, and is currently stationed in Shunping County, not far from Yang Bangzi's territory, Baiyun in the east of Shunping County is currently under the control of the Sixth Division, Mr. Zhu means that as long as he can negotiate this deal with Brigade Commander Hou, they will plan the grain.

Called Hongmei and Lao Feng to discuss it, Yang Bangzi wanted to find this brigade commander Hou who had a one-sided relationship, but everyone disagreed, you are also called a one-sided relationship, people regarded you as asking for food at that time!

As soon as he said that it didn't matter if he wanted food, Yang Bangzi suddenly remembered someone! Recently, I have been busy thinking about breaking the enemy blockade in the east, and I have forgotten about this man!

Yes, that's right, it's Hongyu, since the last time Lianxiang was jealous, the letter from the Baoding Prefectural Committee and Mr. Zhu's letter came, which basically proved that Hongyu did help Yang Bangzi in addition to being born as "Sister Yao", and I didn't hear that there was an ambiguous relationship between the two of them.

Hongyu and Xiao Cui'er were combined into the service team under the Women's Department, and they helped with all kinds of logistics work when they went out to study, and they went to the countryside to help with spring plowing a few days ago. Don't look at it, it's all fine clothes and food. But there is really no bitterness in doing farm work!

What Yang Bangzi meant was that he remembered hearing Hongyu and the old bustard of Jufuban say it. said that this brigade commander Hou has a good relationship with them, and this person is not a dogleg for the devil, he is a person in the rivers and lakes, whoever is powerful depends on whom, the main thing is that he can make a fortune!

If you send someone to follow Hongyu to find this Hou brigade commander, at least an acquaintance will have something to say when they meet, since this person loves money, they will do business with him. Take the money to buy the road!

Several people didn't speak immediately, this matter seems to be a bit of a problem, how can this Hongyu say that she is not a member of our party, her identity is special, she has just arrived in the base area for a month, and she can't see any performance, let her carry out such an important task, not to mention whether it can be done, what should I do if I run away from the city and can't come back?

Yang Bangzi told everyone about the sword that Hongyu gave him and some of the words he said to him that he wanted to serve the country, especially about wanting to be a heroine like Liang Hongyu. He thinks that this woman is different from ordinary women, since she can comfortably run out of there to us. I don't believe she can go to the enemy again!

Others haven't spoken yet, Hong Mei spoke first, she agreed with Yang Bangzi's suggestion, Sister Yao is not what she wants to be, she was forced by this world-breaking way, since she can jump out by herself, it means that this is a brave woman, maybe this matter can really be done by her.

Hong Mei also said at the time, do this, she personally led the team to accompany Hongyu, there are not many people, she and Hongyu, plus the little girl, and let the hoe rape department send four comrades enough!

What's more, Hong Mei said that when she was the secretary of Tang County earlier, Shunping and Tang County were next to each other, she was familiar with the situation over there, and she still remembered some underground relationships, so it was most appropriate for her to go.

Yang Bangzi thought about it for a while, and decided to let the communications department draw one out of the two radio stations, and then let the reconnaissance company send a platoon to escort it to the outside of Shunping County, so that he could use the radio to contact him in time if there was a situation.

There is nothing good for others to think about, and it can only be like this, Lao Feng also said that he is responsible for greeting the relationship with Shunping and asking them to cooperate, and this matter is settled.

On the same day, Hongyu and Xiao Cui'er were recruited back from Lingbei Village, and if Yang Bangzi and Hong Mei talked to her together, they told her very clearly about the food, and went to Brigade Commander Hou to talk about borrowing the road, and also explained it.

Hongyu's expression was still the same as usual after hearing this, and she thought for a while and said: "This matter is done, can you let me be the eighth road." ”

Yang Bangzi looked at Hong Mei, and Hong Mei hurriedly explained, in fact, the women's work team where Hongyu is now is already an organization of our party, and you are actually already the eighth road.

Hongyu thought about it and put forward three conditions, if this is done, let Yang Bangzi and Hong Mei promise her three things, one is that she wants a military hat, a belt and a pair of leggings. Second, she wants to change her name and ask Hong Mei to give her a new name. Third, she asked to learn to shoot like ordinary soldiers.

Yang Bangzi looked at Hong Mei, Hong Mei was stunned, Yang Bangzi stood up, took off his hat, untied his belt, and took out a pair of leggings sewn by Lianxiang from his shoulder bag, and handed them to Hongyu.

"Sister, don't say it earlier, the hat is a little old, and it's a little dirty, don't dislike it, wash and make up for it, and wear it, and when you have a new cloth to make a military uniform, I promise to send you a set."

Ruby didn't back down, a smile appeared on her face, she took the thing, and gently stroked it with her hand.

"Comrade Hongyu, aren't you going to change your name? What is your original last name? Hong Mei saw that Yang Bang was so generous, and she couldn't show that she didn't trust others, so she immediately followed and asked Hongyu.

"The surname is Yang, and my father didn't give it a name, Comrade Hong, you can give it a new name." Ruby picked up his military hat and measured it on his head.

Hong Mei groaned slightly, raised her head and said, "Hongyu, Hongyu, now that you are a newcomer to the Eighth Route team, how about calling it Xinyu, how about calling it Yang Xinyu?" ”

When Yang Bangzi heard this, he applauded and said that this name is good! Hongyu herself also thought about the change of this name, her own jade has been covered with pickled dust over the years, and now this is a new life, isn't it a new jade! Thank you Secretary Hong Mei right now.

As for learning to shoot a gun, Hong Mei and Yang Bangzi both promised her that when they returned, they would officially transfer her to military training, and when the weapons were seized, they would issue her a gun.

Okay, everyone was happy, before dawn, the team left Chuankou Town to Shunping County, Yang Bangzi was sent to Huangshikou Village, under the pretext of going home to see, riding a horse and following all the way, to the fork at the entrance of the village, and standing on the hillside for a long time.

Secretary Hong and the others went to find the Hou brigade commander, Yang Bangzi was not idle at home, he discussed with Lao Feng and them, and according to the instructions issued by the military region, they started a big operation in the entire division.

The first is the large-scale production campaign, and a few days ago, Yang Bangzi's order to save grain for the 11 th sub-district was two days earlier than the same document issued by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region issued one of the two major orders in 1942: to launch a large-scale military production campaign (called the "production self-help movement" in that year).

Another big order was the "change of large regiments into small regiments" in the "streamlining the administration of the army"; after discussion, they withstood it, and there was only one regiment in total, and before it had fully formed its combat effectiveness, it was cut, which did not conform to the actual situation.

The 11th Sub-district began a large-scale production self-help campaign, and all the troops and organs, in addition to helping the common people complete the task of spring ploughing, also made use of all kinds of barren mountains and mountains that could be used to open up wasteland for farming!

In several important towns, mountain goods processing factories, medicinal material purchasing stations, white iron shops, paint shops, paper mills, and weaving factories have been built successively. Some cadres and soldiers in Kawaguchi Town have also begun to try to grow rice in the river flats, because the soil is delicate and the water sources are abundant, and the seedlings seem to grow well when they are planted.

It was not possible to dismantle the troops, but it is true that a lot of adjustments have been made, and several formed units at the division level have been added, and several organs have been merged.

Cadres and fighters of the 11th sub-district who fell ill due to malnutrition filled the two temporary hospitals under the health department of the sub-district. More than a dozen cadres of the sub-district organs also fell ill, so Yang Bangzi consulted with the vice minister of health, who was in charge of the eastern area of the sub-district, and set up a rest center in Kawaguchi Town to be managed by the cadres of the sub-district headquarters and the political department themselves.

In this way, it can be centrally managed, these cadres and soldiers often eat two good meals, they can recover their physical strength, and go back to work, or they will have to run to the horse post if they are sick, and they will be troublesome!

There are also several personnel and organizational changes:

In late March 1942, the Baishishanbei Guerrilla Force under the former 11th Division was changed to a team directly under the Shibei Division, and the unit was directly under the jurisdiction of the 11th Division Headquarters. The task of this direct team is to monitor the enemy in Lingqiu and to continuously harass the Lailing Highway.

The former Operations Section of the First Division was merged with the Training Section and the Reconnaissance Section. The Political Department, the Hoeing and Rape Section, and the Armed Forces Department were merged into a single political department, thus streamlining the organization and enriching the saved cadres into several peripheral units.

After the organization was cut, Yang Bangzi readjusted the three guerrilla detachments under the 1st Division: the Laiyi Detachment was renamed the 1st District Detachment. The Tuonan detachment was renamed the Second District Team. The Shanxi detachment was renamed the Third District Team.

Each district unit was transferred from the newly formed 20 th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and more than 20 cadres and fighters from the organs were dispatched to the district teams directly under the sub-divisions, thus forming an exclusive guerrilla district unit that combined the troops with the localities.

There are more than 30 reconnaissance platoons in each district team headquarters. There are more than 30 staff officers, officers, and cooks. In addition, district teams have been set up in each district, ranging from 15 to 20 people. There are 1 team leader and 1 deputy team leader, and the secretary of the district party committee also serves as the political instructor of the team.

The district team itself has gradually become more and more perfect, with the addition of chief of staff, training staff, and reconnaissance staff, and each district team is equipped with two light machine guns and 120 rifles.

In doing so, it is equivalent to having an exclusive and directly subordinate subordinate armed force in the three main directions of engagement of the 11th Division, which is equivalent to the professional militarized armed forces of the county brigade in the past. Whether it is to deal with the scale of the devil's stronghold to attack the countryside or to deal with the devil's large army sneak attack, it can be much stronger than the previous spontaneous resistance of the masses, and with these regular troops operating nearby, the people in the marginal areas are much more at ease!
