"Everyone is here, then I'll say, there are a few things to discuss now."

Xu Xiaoyong coughed, and officially talked about several things to discuss.

The area of Xiaoyin Mountain is already a complete mountainous area. Based on past experience, the Japanese army would not enter the mountainous areas with complicated terrain in this kind of routine sweep.

Hide-and-seek in the mountains, relying on mechanized transportation by road and rail, and rapid reinforcement of troops, could not be done.

Without this part of the advantage, logistics supply will be very difficult, and it will be frequently harassed by the Eighth Route Army. Once it is surrounded and sent for reinforcements, it is also a trouble to dispatch troops to support.

The Japanese army, who had suffered so much in the mountains, would not forget such a lesson.

Therefore, Xu Xiaoyong means that it is relatively safe here, and the cottage left by the bandits is also a more ideal place to survive.

He proposed that the people of Zhaojiazhuang should be temporarily settled here, and there was no need to go to the mountains anymore.

Zhao Jisheng, the village head, agreed very much and said: "I think it's okay, I can walk dozens of miles less." In addition, the little devil is gone, and we will go back, and it will be more than a hundred miles back and forth.

And in the mountains, there won't be any good places to stay. At the very least, there is a shelter from the elements. “

Indeed, it was late autumn at this time, and the cold wind was swishing in the mountains. When the people moved into the mountains, the most they could do was to find some caves, build some simple sheds, and freeze them.

The cold and damp caves, the sheds that leak everywhere, where can there be compared to this ready-made house. If it weren't for the fact that there was no farmland nearby, I'm afraid there would be people who would like to stay here forever.

Zhao Jingfang, president of the Women's Rescue Association, also agreed, and said: "There are a lot of houses in this house, and you can live in it." It's okay to make a fire and cook, and on behalf of the women comrades, I agree with this practice. “

"Our militia obeys the command." Li Ping'an also expressed his position.

Yuan Chenming has nothing to say, and he is soft-spoken. Besides, he didn't want to leave, the mountain road had tired him enough in the past few days, and it was definitely better to squeeze the Chase Bunk than to sleep in the field.

But he didn't speak, Xu Xiaoyong asked him instead: "Xiao Yuan, do you have any opinions?" ”

"No opinion, I agree." Yuan Chenming replied quickly, and the feeling in his heart was different.

I thought it was just an auditor, but now that I can be consulted, it seems that I am very important.

"That's unanimous vote."

Xu Xiaoyong said: "In addition, the militia should send more sentry posts to monitor the mountain roads. If the Japanese sweep force is discovered, the villagers can adapt to the situation, and it is really impossible to hide in the mountains. ”

It was an arrangement just in case, and everyone agreed.

The second thing, after the clerical count, seized the guns of the bandits, of which thirty were usable.

Now there is no way to contact the superiors, and they are also in danger. Now that he had time, Xu Xiaoyong proposed to expand the militia and arm them with these captured firearms.

Of course, this is not his own decision, so a meeting was held to convene these people to discuss together.

"That's a good thing, expanding the armed forces to defend the village, I'm sure I agree. My second son, who is not a weapon, is not too young, so let him join the militia first, and then join the Eighth Route Army later. ”

Zhao Jisheng is the only party member in the village, and his ideological consciousness is naturally not ordinary.

He has three sons, the eldest son is a platoon commander in the 20th Division, and the second son will be 17 years old after the New Year.

It is not feasible for the comrades of the Women's Relief Association to join the militia and be armed to defend their hometowns. People's deep-rooted belief is there, and it is impossible for women to carry guns before the old men of Zhaojiazhuang are dead.

On behalf of the women comrades, Zhao Jingfang said: "We, the Women's Relief Association, do logistical work. Sewing clothes and cooking, to ensure that the militia has no worries. ”

It was Li Ping'an's turn to speak, and he said: "There are so many old and young masters in the village, it must be no problem to recruit thirty people who are willing to be militiamen."

That is, it is already very reluctant to manage a militia team of about ten people. It's really difficult to manage more than 40 people now. Can you find me a helper, I'm quite suitable to watch the big show. ”

"Me?"

Yuan Chenming, who had been acting as a spectator, pointed at himself with his finger and expressed surprise.

Why is there something about him here?

"I think it's okay, I don't know if our big show is talented, do you agree to be the deputy captain of the militia?" Xu Xiaoyong leaned forward and asked with a smile.

In the previous battle of ambushing the bandits, Yuan Chenming's performance was very eye-catching. Although this ambush does not seem to be a big deal, it is so simple to throw grenades and charge to harvest.

But there are many small battles that have taken place in the land of China, and he is like that!

Fight an ambush battle, and still play flowers?

Calm down when you are about to fight, make full use of the power in your hands, attack its weak points, and take the enemy by surprise. I dare not say that it is excellent, but it is certainly excellent.

The kind of person who plays the mediocre ambush war will have his name in the history books.

In general, Yuan Chenming is more than enough to be the deputy captain of a militia team.

This is also the reason why Li Ping'an proposed to let him serve as the vice captain.

If you are an ordinary person, you must have happily agreed.

But Yuan Chenming is not that kind of person, he is not here, what if he is the captain of the militia?

Seeing that he didn't agree, Zhao Jisheng thought that he was hesitating, perhaps worried about their opinion.

"Xiucai...... Comrade, we have seen your abilities and agree very much. If someone in the militia dares to disobey you, you should be beaten and scolded.

If you can't come to me, I'll clean them up for you. You can rest assured that you will be the vice-captain, we have your back. ”

Zhao Jisheng said very sincerely, as the village head, he has a certain amount of selfishness.

But this selfishness does not conflict with the public heart, that is, to let the children in the village survive as much as possible and protect the village.

The previous battle was fought beautifully, but one was injured. It is enough to prove how important it is to choose an excellent brain.

In addition, Yuan Chenming is helpless and purely a foreigner. This identity is also important to him.

Zhao Jingfang persuaded him, and Captain Xu followed suit, Yuan Chenming thought about it again and again, and finally relented: "Team Xu, Team Li, the village chief, and President Zhao, it is not impossible to serve as the deputy captain of the militia."

But I have said it first, when the devil's sweep is repelled and the situation is a little more stable, I will leave. I hope you will find someone more suitable than me to take my place as soon as possible. ”

"Sure enough." Xu Xiaoyong said secretly in his heart.

When they were separated before, Wang Desheng specially told him about it, and asked him to do more work and keep people.

It seems that this is Wang Ba eating scales - iron-hearted.

It's not a matter of a day or two to change their minds.

After this matter was settled, Xu Xiaoyong discussed the resettlement issue with everyone. In the past, the bandits robbed the food and materials of that village, and they had to be counted and returned, and the remaining materials had to be uniformly distributed.

The existing houses and shelters should also be uniformly allocated, and more than 1,000 people should eat, drink, and live in Lasa, and the large and small affairs groups discussed for a long time.

The teacher manages the study of dozens of students in the class, and there are endless things to deal with every day. What's more, this is more than a thousand adults with different interests, which is enough to make its managers big.
