Chapter 20: Emergency Gathering

readx;

The Red Third Company, together with the propaganda team, plus these more than 80 militiamen, totaled more than 200 people. In order not to cause trouble to the people of Guitang Town, the pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info opened up a playground in the east of the town, although the residence is still under construction, everyone can only sleep in the grass shed at present, and the playground that can be used for training is the first time to get it. In particular, the militia self-defense force is the cradle of soldiers for the main force, and it is responsible for the training of new recruits, so it is natural that they should grasp the training as soon as possible.

To tell the truth, I really have to thank the town office for being caught off guard at the beginning, especially the gifts for Wang Weiqing's father's birthday did not have time to be transferred, and they were served in a pot, plus the raiding of some bullies and inferior gentry these days, so that the food and money in the hands of the Red Army are very sufficient, and I am planning to wait for the recruits to train for a period of time, and the recruits will take on the task of escorting the food and money to the Red Army headquarters, which is just another training for the recruits.

Now, the revolutionary work of the Red Third Company in the town of Guitang has encountered its first bottleneck: an extreme shortage of weapons, especially rifles and bullets.

The people in the towns are actively supporting the army and expanding their popularity, and there is no shortage of other aspects, but without weapons, this has become a major problem that urgently needs to be solved at present: Without weapons, it is impossible to recruit more people to serve as soldiers, and there is no armed force to protect the fruits of the revolution, not to mention the establishment of self-defense units in various villages, even if Red Army soldiers go to various villages to carry out revolutionary work, their lives cannot be guaranteed. You know, the enemy's weapons are all guns, and there are almost no primitive weapons such as broadswords and spears.

If there were no weapons, everyone was still calm, but when they attacked Guitang Town, they captured twenty or thirty rifles of all kinds from the enemy, as well as thirteen box cannons (the people who came to congratulate Wang Weiqing's father on his birthday were mostly party figures, and naturally they carried pistols such as box cannons. At that time, it was decided that, in addition to replenishing the weapons of the third company, the rest would be issued to the militia self-defense forces. If you don't have enough for each person, you can only give it to someone who has good performance or good marksmanship. Now it's good, the members of the Self-Defense Forces naturally have eyes bigger than copper bells, staring at this weapon, and they are deeply afraid that their worries will be in vain.

"Wang Xingfa, what are you carrying in your kid's arms? Hand it over for me to see. ”

After the morning exercise, Zhang Qingshan went to the well to wash his face, and walked quickly to his second team...... The soldiers' houses have not yet been repaired, and the house is an open shed, so the canteen can only be postponed, so the soldiers of the same squad can only gather their meals and a few dishes in one place, and then gather in a circle and squat to eat.

Holding the dishes and chopsticks, cooking well, he walked to his team, but saw that the team members were chasing Wang Xingfa like coaxing, Wang Xingfa was protecting a bowl with both hands, dodging left and right. If you look at the other squads, it's the same. Just look at the elated appearance of all of them, and you can know that there must be good things.

"Report to the captain, they robbed me of my meat. ”

As soon as Wang Xing's voice fell, the teammates next to him immediately coaxed: "Squad leader, don't listen to him, this meat is sent by the gang, one bowl for each team." This kid is just a little nimble with his hands and feet, and he grabbed it faster, so he insisted that this bowl of meat was his, don't you think he's talking nonsense?"

No wonder everyone is so elated, when it comes to meat, it really makes people's mouths water: the Self-Defense Forces have been in the past ten days since their founding, and in addition to eating a meal of meat when they were founded, they have been eating cabbage, potatoes, pumpkins and other vegetarian dishes for so many days, and occasionally adding a plate of sour radish, even if it is a tooth sacrifice -- the young men's requirements are not high: they are very content to be able to eat a full meal every day, which is better than working as a coolie for a day before, but they can't even solve the problem of food and clothing.

"Aha! there's meat today. Zhang Qingshan put the bowl down, walked to Wang Xingfa's side happily, and said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, you can't eat alone when you meet." Come, hand it over, everyone has a share. ”

In the frolic, the bowl of meat was finally snatched over, and then, everyone had a share. In the end, Zhang Qingshan only got a little oil residue, seeing this, the team members were embarrassed to give Zhang Qingshan a little bit of the meat in the bowl, but Zhang Qingshan refused with a smile: "You guys really don't know how to eat, tell you, the nutrition is in the oil residue, now you want to change it with me, no way!"

In fact, Zhang Qingshan felt that as a squad leader, he should let the soldiers go, otherwise, what was the difference between him and those Kuomintang officers who only knew how to oppress the soldiers? And this was precisely the embodiment of the Red Army's spirit of 'starting from me, uniting and helping each other.' No one needs to teach it, as long as the leader takes the lead, the people below will naturally learn from it.

There is meat today, everyone eats very fragrant and fast, Wang Xingfa finished eating, and when he returned, he drooped his head and asked, "Captain, when can we shoot a gun?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan, who was about to clip a chopstick potato, was depressed: This question is a necessary main question after exercising every day, but he can't answer it, and it's not good to fool the soldiers.

"Comrades, the lack of guns is only temporary, and you must trust the organization, and you will definitely get a lot of guns and ammunition for you as soon as possible. Speaking of which, Zhang Qingshan was about to say that when the Red Army was founded, it had no weapons, and it was all obtained by seizing them from the enemy. But Wang Xingfa pouted and said, "But when I was washing the dishes just now, I heard from the people of the first team of the second squadron that they would soon be able to get guns." ”

"That's. I was present at the first meeting, and it was unanimously decided that there were not many weapons and that it would not be possible to have one weapon per person, so they could only be issued to players with good performance or good marksmanship. As he spoke, Zhang Qingshan's short-term side broke out, and he pointed to a small team and said to the team members: "Our second squad is not raised by a stepmother, and it is no worse than their first squad in any aspect. ”

Zhang Qingshan's voice was a little loud, and a small group of people naturally heard it. I saw the captain of a small team stand up and sneered: "Zhang Qingshan, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean? Hmph! Your squad is going to get the guns first, and one for each of you. Zhang Qingshan also put down the bowl, stood up and sneered: "Hey, hey, you ask everyone, they are all carrying a head on two shoulders, who will be worse than whom? Who will agree?"

"What can you do if you don't agree?"

"How's that? ”

"Doodoo ......"

The two of them had nothing to say, and when they were about to compete, the assembly horn sounded, and suddenly they couldn't take care of this, so they quickly asked everyone to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and gather urgently.
