Xie Baoqing, the big boss of Heiyun Village, is a bitter background, because of his enmity with the good people of the village, he killed more than 20 members of Zhang Shanren's family in a fit of anger, burned down Zhang Shanren's house, and became a bandit; In the bandit group, he won a good reputation with his good martial arts and the means of squandering money with righteousness, and became the big boss of Heiyun Village.

The economic source of Heiyunzhai mainly depends on robbing, cutting, kidnapping tickets, digging out old kilns, what to do easily, Japanese devils, puppet army, Kuomintang army, Eighth Road, merchants, as long as the opportunity is right, who is arrested and who is done, you are welcome.

Xie Baoqing, a big boss from a poor man, has repeatedly reiterated the discipline of cottages, you can rob anyone, but you can't rob the poor, the brothers naturally support this article, and feel that this mountain rule is well established. It's better to push the boat down the river and get a good reputation.

It is precisely because of the reputation of robbing the rich and helping the poor that several political forces are fighting the idea of this bandit armament, the Kuomintang army wants to recruit peace, the Eighth Route Army wants to be absorbed, and the Japanese puppet side also wants to pull them over.

He has been dealing with the Kuomintang army for 20 years, survived from repeated purges, and knows the Kuomintang army too well, he heard that some bandits were recruited and then cleaned up, and there are many such things, and some were reorganized into local troops after Zhao'an, and as soon as the war starts, he will send you to the place where you are killed, and kill you by the hands of others, he will not do this kind of stupid thing; The Japanese puppet side can't even be considered, bandits also have a reputation problem, so if they are Chinese bandits, it won't sound good to be a traitor bandit.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Gang was inclined to recruit this gang of bandits, but Shen Long knew that Heiyun Village was not all people like Xie Baoqing, their second boss lynx Liang Erhu raped and plundered all kinds of evil, every time he snatched a new woman, he married a family seriously, and the old woman was rewarded to the minions, and over the years, he had harmed at least hundreds of innocent women.

And in the original book, Monk Wei died under his hands, no matter what aspect is considered, Shen Long does not allow such people to blend into the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, he told the situation of Heiyun Village again, and then concluded, "People like Xie Baoqing are still salvageable, but if people like Liang Erhu enter our Eighth Route Army, what will the surrounding villagers think of us?" ”

"How many villagers in this neighborhood have been ruined by Liang Erhu, and when they see Liang Erhu changing into the uniform of our Eighth Route Army, will they still support us as before? Therefore, I think that bandits like Heiyunzhai should be dealt with separately, and bandits like Liang Erhu who do all kinds of evil should not only not be taken in, but also should be held a public trial to deal with them strictly! ”

"The scholar is right! If you let a bastard like Liang Erhu enter my independent regiment, the villagers won't point at me Li Yunlong and scold my mother? Li Yunlong agreed with Shen Long's opinion, he had always looked down on bandits like Liang Erhu who would only harm the common people, and he was not willing to let them join the independent regiment at all.

In the face of Shen Longluo's list of crimes, Zhao Gang had nothing to say, "The problem pointed out by Xiao Shen is very representative, such a person is indeed not suitable to join the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, but if you want to catch Liang Erhu for public trial, Xie Baoqing and these people will definitely not agree, right?" In his opinion, Xie Baoqing belongs to the group of people who can still be fought for.

"The Central Committee requires us to fight for all the objects we can win and form an anti-Japanese united front, the purpose of which is to unite all forces that can be united to jointly resist the attack of the little devils." After talking about the practical significance, Shen Long began to analyze this problem from a theoretical point of view, "And the existence of these bandits just makes it impossible for us to concentrate our forces, they have caused great obstacles to the production and life of the people in the northwest border area of Shanxi, and clearing the bandits and restoring the normal production order can allow us to better concentrate our forces." ”

"These bandits are like pus pockets on people's bodies, if you don't deal with them, it will definitely affect your health!" Shen Long also made an analogy, "After dealing with these bandits, we can fight devils in a healthier state." ”

"Although Xiao Shen has been joining our Eighth Route Army for a short time, his theoretical foundation is stronger than some old cadres!" Zhao Gang praised him, and when he spoke, he also glanced at Li Yunlong.

Of course, we can be regarded as high-level cadres, I don't know how many theoretical works I have read, due to the reason of vision, I am afraid that even Zhao Gang is inferior to himself in theory, but Shen Long feels that there is still a certain gap between him and Zhao Gang in terms of grounding.

"Lao Zhao, what do you see me doing!" Li Yunlong was not happy now, he knew that he had never liked to learn these things, and he was even more unhappy to be told by Zhao Gang.

"Hahahaha!" The room suddenly burst into laughter, everyone knew Li Yunlong's fault, and after laughing, the meeting also came to a conclusion, the matter of recruiting bandits should also be done selectively, and no one can be pulled into the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, some bandits with a bad reputation are better to say, and bandits like Liang Erhu who are extremely guilty must be severely punished.

"Xie Baoqing definitely won't want Liang Erhu to be dealt with, so we have to control this bandit first, and then make our position clear with him! Tomorrow, I will take someone to touch the details of Heiyun Village and come up with an attack plan! Shen Long took the initiative to ask for battle.

"I'll take people to visit the victims of Heiyun Village, and strive to make the public trial meeting more decent!" Zhao Gang considered this issue from the perspective of political work, and he felt that this was a good opportunity to unite the masses and make them realize that the Eighth Route Army was a team that truly made decisions for the common people.

"Then it's decided!" Li Yunlong immediately decided, "If you want to fight Heiyunzhai, let those recruits go, this is also an opportunity for them to exercise." "The independent regiment has recently expanded a lot, and the quality of the soldiers has also been uneven, and the intensity of fighting bandits is not as great as fighting small devils, so it is only suitable for newcomers to go out.

The next day, when Shen Long was going to take people to reconnoiter near Heiyun Village, several unexpected visitors interrupted his plan, and these leaders from the division headquarters directly found Shen Long.

"Comrade Shen Long, in view of your outstanding contribution to the anti-Japanese cause in Taiyuan, the division headquarters has decided to award you and the special company of the Independent Regiment led by you the Iron Army avant-garde medal! Encouragement! ”

After speaking, the division leader took out a silver medal and put it on Shen Long's chest, and then patted him on the shoulder, "Actually, this medal should have been awarded to you a long time ago, but it took some time to verify the battle record, and it has been delayed until now." ”
