Chapter Fifty-Nine: Food for the Independent Regiment
On the second day, Daoxiang Village. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The young men of the village gathered together to discuss the Eighth Route Army camped outside the village.
In fact, since last night, the smell wafting in from outside the village has already lured the worms in their stomachs.
The unique aroma of stewed meat makes these young people who can't get meat and oil all year round dream of fatty meat slices and pork knuckles.
In the morning, the smell of meat wafted in again, and several bold young people came to the outside of the barracks of the Eighth Route Army to look around, and they were even invited into the barracks, and had a meal together. The young men looked at their thick lips that reflected the luster, and they were eager to go up and lick them.
A black and strong young man said proudly: "Let me tell you, the Eighth Route Army outside is very kind, and it is different from those white dogs!" Especially Captain Yi, who was very kind, and personally asked someone to bring me a bowl of broth! He also praised me for my strong body, which is a good material for being a soldier! ”
Feeling the envious eyes of his companions around him, the black strong guy only felt numb and crispy, as if the bones in his body were lighter.
A young girl with braids and a small flower jacket blinked her star eyes and asked the black strong guy: "Brother Gouzi, I heard from the village chief, their head is very young, how old is it, is it handsome, is it handsome?" ”
The black young man nodded heavily: "Handsome, of course handsome!" More handsome than Liu Wenwen in our village! Commander Yi looks to be in his twenties, wearing a military uniform, and he is particularly handsome! ”
The young men had already stood in a circle around the dog, and a young man couldn't squeeze in outside the circle, jumping high and shouting: "Brother dog, is the broth delicious, didn't you ask them if they still want people?" If I go to join the army like this, do they want to? ”
The dog said loudly: "It's delicious, of course it's delicious, there is green onion and ginger red oil in the broth, and it's fragrant." In addition to the broth, there are also pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli and white flour buns.
Red peppers, pork belly, spicy and fragrant!
I asked the soldiers of the Independent Regiment about it, and they have meat at every meal, and they all eat white flour buns! ”
The sound of swallowing saliva around the circle.
Someone asked, "You haven't said yet, they still don't accept people!" ”
The black strong dog smiled, touched his stomach and said, "Collect, collect." I'll come back and pack my things, and I'll go to the independent group later. Commander Yi said, I am a good material for being a soldier.
What Captain Yi said is right! ”
"Ah, you see, a few of them are carrying their luggage to the camp of the independent regiment!"
One person suddenly saw that the other guys who had returned from eating from the camp of the independent regiment had already packed their luggage and left the village and went straight to the camp outside.
"Boom~"
The crowd dispersed at once.
At noon, Yi Xiaojing looked at the more than 300 young men added to the independent regiment, and a successful smile appeared on her face.
Burying the pot to cook, Yi Xiaojing deliberately arranged it at the upwind outlet, just so that the fragrance of the food wafted to the village.
Several young people, Yi Xiaojing specially asked people to come to the barracks, so that they could feel the friendly atmosphere of the independent regiment and enjoy the food of the independent regiment.
Sure enough, by noon, more than 300 good lads were harvested.
The little old man of the village chief looked at Yi Xiaojing with some resentment.
You must know that there are more than 3,000 people in the entire Daoxiang Village, and there are more than 1,000 young and strong guys, and he can't help but feel distressed when he goes to more than 300 strong laborers at once.
However, this year, the food ration was tight, and the people in the village could not have enough to eat. It is not a loss to be able to walk more than 300 guys, and also solve more than 300 mouths for the village to eat.
The number of people reached more than 1,000 people, and when the pot was buried for cooking at noon, the grain and pork were consumed faster.
After lunch, say goodbye to Daoxiang Village, and continue on the road.
Yi Xiaojing's buttocks had an extra oil bottle.
A little boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, named Tiezhu.
A native of Daoxiang Village, his parents died, and the villagers saw him as pitiful, and he lived on the relief of the villagers, and grew up to be thirteen or fourteen years old by eating hundreds of meals.
ran to join the independent regiment, and Wu Ming, who was in charge of recruitment, came to see that he was young and did not accept him.
As a result, Tiezhu, the kid, was noisy and crying, and he had to join the independent group, but he couldn't get rid of it. In the end, Yi Xiaojing accepted him and asked him to follow the laundry and be a nanny.
At night, Yanshan County was finally in sight.
However, when I got here, Yi Xiaojing knew. The Dian army has changed its guard and gone to Wenshan County, and now it is the Jin army that is guarding Yanshan County!

"What do you say? A bunch of people from outside the city? ”
Sun Jue, commander of the 73rd Division, asked Zhou Yuanjie, commander of the 3rd Independent Brigade.
Zhou Yuanjie nodded and said, "Yes, they claim to be the Independent Regiment of the 716th Division of the Eighth Route Army." ”
Sun Jue thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of this army!" However, didn't this unit die when it fought bravely against the Japanese army? ”
Zhou Yuanjie said: "They were a small force that broke through the encirclement, and later went up the mountain to engage in anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and slowly gathered a team of thousands of people.
Because he offended the Ishida Wing in Eagle County, he went all the way south and came to our 73rd Division. ”
"Eagle County, Ishida United." Sun Jue said: "I know that the Ishida Wing is an old wing of the 316th Division of the Kwantung Army.
When I was in Shandong, I fought with the Ishida United once, and the Ishida United's fighting style was very aggressive, and once the fight started, it gave people a sense of tension that they didn't even have time to breathe.
Some time ago, news came that Fujiwara Nakasa, a staff officer of the Ishida Wing, was killed, and the captain of the Ishida Wing was blown up to a cripple, and it is said that he was beaten by a group of bandits.
Could it be that the people of this independent regiment did it? ”
Zhou Yuanjie nodded: "It should be." ”
"The current leader of the independent regiment is a capable person!" Sun Jue exclaimed. Then he said: "Nine times out of ten, it's true."
Their Eighth Route Army has this rule, and the torch is passed down from generation to generation, as long as a unit leaves the torch, it will keep the number. We can admit this!
You send someone to confirm it, and as long as there is no problem, let the independent regiment enter the city. I want to meet the commander of this independent regiment in person and see if I can bring him into our army. ”
"Yes, Master."
Zhou Yuanjie withdrew.
Tao Qingzhi, the chief of staff, held the teacup, blew the tea leaves in the teacup, and said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a capable person among those mud legs in the Eighth Road." In less than half a year, not only did he rebuild such a team of 1,000 people, but he was able to beat the Ishida United, which was a veteran wing of the Kwantung Army, without temper!
I'm very interested in meeting the commander of this independent regiment, what kind of character is he! ”
Sun Jue said with a smile: "Tao Shen, you are a high-achieving student who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and you all value the head of this independent regiment so much?" ”
Tao Qingzhi took a sip of tea and said: "War is a theoretical course and an empirical science. And empirically, mud legs also have merit. ”
