"Why are they all guns, prisoners?"

The smile on the face of the second squad leader disappeared all of a sudden, and was replaced by a solemnity.

"Originally, there was a little devil who was wounded, and I thought about going over to help him, but when I was approaching, this guy suddenly drew a bayonet and tried to stab me, and I accidentally killed him. ”

The second platoon commander nodded: For this kind of diehard, he felt that Zhang Qingshan's approach was very accurate: hacking one less scourge to death!

Next, the two of them suddenly lost their ability to talk, and after the second platoon commander ordered people to count the casualties and results, he silently walked to the barracks.

When Zhao Shanhe saw the second platoon leader, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face and asked, "How are the casualties of the comrades?"

"It's being counted. After speaking, he added: "It's just over, everything is counting." ”

Zhao Shanhe nodded, and asked with a smile, "How many little devils have you caught?"

Seeing that the second platoon commander shook his head, Zhao Shanhe's face also became solemn: everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

Because I used to just hear that the little devil was strong in combat, and under the influence of bushido and militarism, he was extremely not afraid of death, even if he was injured, he would rather die than surrender, and today I finally saw it. Well-equipped, well-trained, and veterans, all of these things will not be easy to fight in the future, and I don't know how many soldiers and innocent people will have to be sacrificed to drive the little devils out of China...... When you think that the road ahead is difficult, who has any other thoughts?

"It's fine. Zhao Shanhe said with a smile: "Little devils are not afraid of death in battle, will our Eighth Route Army be worse than them? Even if the weapons and equipment are inferior to them for a while, it doesn't matter, think about the time when we first started to do the revolution, weren't we also poor and white, carrying big swords and spears." Now, don't you have all of them? Don't worry, the good things of the little devils will be ours sooner or later. Even the quality of individual soldiers, I think, as long as we train hard, we will definitely not be worse than little devils. After all, our ancestors can suppress the little devils, can't we suppress the little devils to fight ......"

As he spoke, seeing that the second platoon commander still couldn't lift his spirits, Zhao Shanhe patted him on the shoulder, leaned closer, and whispered: "You are a platoon commander anyway, dozens of comrades below are looking at you, if you are so listless, what will you think if you let the comrades below see it? What will you think if you let the comrades of other companies see it? I don't know and think that we have lost the battle...... Don't pretend to be cowardly, give Lao Tzu some spirit, and set a good example for the comrades below. Anyway, you are also a platoon commander, not a former soldier, you can't rely on your own temperament, you must take into account the mood of the soldiers in the whole platoon, and consider the morale of the whole company. See what I mean?"

The second platoon commander glanced at Zhao Shanhe, nodded solemnly, and said, "Company commander, I understand." Don't worry, I will go back and do ideological work for my comrades, and I will definitely raise my morale to the highest. ”

Of course, he knew better in his heart that the company commander was saving face for himself, otherwise, the company commander, who loves face on weekdays, would never be polite to you about this kind of thing, and would have scolded him a long time ago.

"That's right!" Zhao Shanhe smiled and nodded: "Do you have anything else?"

"It's those dozens of two devils, who followed us to fight devils this time, and when they saw how powerful we were, they wanted to join our assault group. However, they are all dragged with their families and have ideological baggage, so they want to ask us to help solve this matter, so that they can join us without worries and fight devils. ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment and continued: "Moreover, I think that many people actually want to fight devils, but they don't dare to move because they have such and such concerns. If we can help them solve these problems, it will definitely be a great thing for us to fight devils in the future. Besides, I think that we will definitely have to face such people and things in the future, so we must first formulate a solution. ”

Zhao Shanhe nodded, and said with a straight face: "The problem you mentioned is indeed a big problem, and if it is not solved well, it will greatly hinder our development path...... I'll report to the above, but do you have any solutions?"

"I didn't have much to do, but on the way back, I talked to them and they came up with three solutions. First, they want to fight devils incognito, so that they can not reveal their identities in a short period of time and not affect their families...... It's just that this method is useful for a short time after all, and after a long time, it will definitely be exposed, which will affect their families. Moreover, I think that this time they are almost equivalent to being collectively rebelled by us, and the little devils will know when they check it. When the time comes, as long as one or two people are exposed, it is equivalent to all of them being exposed. It will inevitably cause a big impact, the army is tempted, and the matter is too big, so I don't approve of it. ”

"Second, there are people who want to move their families to the countryside, especially in villages that no one knows. I think that's possible. After all, communication is not developed in the first place, and there is a shortage of soldiers, except for spies, no one will have nothing to mess around. As long as their families are scattered and settled in the villages that support us, I don't think it's a big problem. ”

"Thirdly, there are a few people whose families are used to doing small businesses and want us to arrange for their families to continue doing business in densely populated places, that is, in cities. I think this is also feasible, for the same reason as in the second article, as long as they go out less often, and their families are scattered and placed in distant places, for example, people from Longfeng County are arranged to go to a slightly more remote place in Tongren County, and the chance of exposure is much smaller...... Moreover, in this way, we can also arrange some family members in Tongren County to come over, which is equivalent to reversing, which will greatly help us solve the worries of these people. ”

Zhao Shanhe said with a smile: "Moreover, there are many benefits, for example, it can monitor the movements of the little devils and the second devils for us, and when necessary, it can also become our temporary contact point or liaison personnel, right?"

"Yes! That's what I meant. ”

"However, I think that although the advantages of what you just said are obvious, the disadvantages are even more obvious, and they are not the safest. ”

"Company commander, I don't understand this, I have to ask you for specific guidance. ”

"I've just said everything about the advantages, but this disadvantage is extremely prominent. You think, the condition they put forward is to take care of their family, that is, in their hearts, family first, which in itself is true. But have you ever thought about it, if one day their family is caught by the little devil and uses his family to persecute them, will they turn back? Personally, I think this is a very high possibility. And once they turn against the water, the damage caused to us will be great, after all, since they have joined the Eighth Route Army, they are their own comrades, and everyone treats them equally, in case there are a few outstanding ones, who become company commanders and battalion commanders or the like, they will know some confidential things, once such people turn against the water, how much passivity will it bring us, you can imagine it yourself. Therefore, the methods you just mentioned can only be temporary. Because of the chaos of the war, the chance of exposure is very small for the time being, but after a long time, it is impossible to say. Besides, after a long time, they will inevitably miss their families, and they can't always let them go behind enemy lines to visit their families, right? Moreover, this is only a few dozen people, and even if they can all be arranged, they can be implemented, and it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. If there are more dozens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of them in the future, how will their families make arrangements? Otherwise, it will be difficult for such a large-scale arrangement not to be discovered by the little devils, and it will not be able to solve this big problem once and for all from the root, but will extend to many more big problems. ”

"Company commander, then tell me, what is the safest way?"

"Of course, it's a base. Zhao Shanhe smiled a little proudly: "Only by creating our own base can we place more joiners and their families, whether it is to visit or go home to take care of their families." More importantly, this will be easier to stabilize the morale of the army, and it will also prevent the emergence of traitors to the greatest extent. Got it?"

With a base area, all the problems just mentioned are no longer problems, and everyone understands this, but the question is, how can it be so easy to create a base area?

The second platoon commander nodded happily, glanced left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Company commander, when will we officially create more land?"

"I don't know. Speaking of this, he also glanced left and right, and whispered to the second platoon commander: "However, haven't you noticed that in fact, we are now paving the way for the creation of a base area? When the first few teams sent over for development have completed the regimental structure, when the time comes, won't the division be a base area as soon as they connect the territory laid down by our regiments?"

"Makes sense. ”

The second platoon commander slapped excitedly and was about to speak, but someone behind him asked: "You two are muttering here endlessly, like thieves." Come, tell me which landlord's house you plan to go to steal cattle tonight?" The two looked back, but saw Zhang Qingshan with a large group of people, walking over with a smile on his face, and continued to joke as he walked: "The target is well chosen, I not only agree, but even I will count a share." But if you don't choose the target well and get exposed, you will be shot directly. ”

"Commander, why didn't you say hello when you came, it scared me. ”

"I've been here for a long time, no, seeing that the two of you are discussing hotly, I don't want to interrupt your plan. After making a joke, Zhang Qingshan asked directly: "Okay, no kidding, have you completed your tasks?"

Zhao Shanhe naturally knew what Zhang Qingshan's so-called mission mainly referred to - radio.

"It's done. Zhao Shanhe gave the second platoon leader a look, and the second platoon leader immediately ran to the side and brought a few chairs over. After Zhang Qingshan sat down, Zhao Shanhe sat down and said: "However, there was a small accident, four of the five radio stations were successfully seized, and the other one was hit by a bullet and needed to be repaired." ”

As soon as he said 10,000, seeing Zhang Qingshan's eyes glaring, Zhao Shanhe hurriedly explained the reason why the radio station was hit by a bullet.

"Well, overall, this assault company did not disappoint everyone, although there was a little accident, but in the war, how can everything go according to the plan, a little accident is inevitable. This time, the task of the assault company has been completed very well on the whole, and I will congratulate you on this achievement. ”

With this affirmation, the credit is certain, and the people of the assault company are naturally happy.

But then, Zhang Qingshan's next question made the people of the assault company a little embarrassed......
