Chapter XVIII The Militia
On the second day, Li Qinghe and the others got up early, because today the old village chief was going to hold a villagers' meeting to announce some news.
Under the big tree in the center of the village, many people were standing there, and the old village chief stood on a high platform, looked at the crowds of people under the stage, and said, "Fellow villagers, our village is about to encounter a catastrophe. ”
Hearing this, the crowd bustled like a frying pan. However, as the old village chief pressed his hand, everyone fell silent again.
"The population of our village is large, but Zhou Mazi asked each of us to call 30 catties of rations. We can pay it, but everyone knows that if we pay this grain, we will not have any food until the summer grain in October, and we will starve to death. Folks, are you willing to starve to death? ”
"I don't want to!" The crowd was furious, and some people even shouted words like "kill Zhou Mazi".
"Moreover, let me tell you again, this grain is to be sent to the front line for the Japanese to fight the Chinese, are you willing to give them food to let the Japanese fight the Chinese?"
"No, no, no!" The crowd became more and more angry, forming a wave after wave. Li Qinghe stood aside, his face relieved, "This is the awakening of the people, the people are resisting the Japanese invasion in their own way." ”
"In that case, we're going against the fuck!" A thick voice sounded in the crowd, and the sound should be Han Dashu, who had led the carriage for him. "The Japanese want our lives, then we will completely reverse the fuck!" This is Han Xiaoshu's voice.
The words of the two made the atmosphere of the villagers completely lifted, and everyone thought about rebelling against Japanese rule. The knife has already been put on the necks of the villagers of Hanjiayu, and if it is not reversed, there is really no way to live. Li Qinghe felt at this moment that the people's hearts were available.
"Therefore, I propose to set up a militia team here to defend our village, and I will also contact people from other villages, and everyone will form a militia team to kill this group of traitors who have lost their conscience! For this reason, I will ask the comrades of the Eighth Route Army who have just come to us to be our leaders, and let them lead us to overthrow the rule of the Japanese! ”
"Good!"
In this way, the Hanjiayu militia was established. The prestige of this old village chief who had beaten foreigners was very high, and in just one morning, everyone was in full swing to become famous, and no one was willing to escape, and hundreds of people poured up at once.
Li Qinghe was a little embarrassed, and the problem of training was easy to solve, but it was a big difficulty to use a gun. With the guns on hand, there are only 20 in total, and 6 are still in the warehouse, and there is no way to take them out.
There are not many bullets, about 3,000 rounds in total, plus the 360 rounds on hand, which is not enough for the soldiers to carry out shooting training. Moreover, due to the lack of reloading capabilities, the bullets are gone and can no longer be used.
The old village chief pointed out that there are really a lot of guns in the village, and in Hebei, martial arts are prevalent, and each family has shotguns, shotguns, etc. It really doesn't work, you can use a shotgun and a shotgun first.
As for the bullets, he had no choice but to capture them later. Then let's see if we can get the kind of bullet reloader that can be used manually and reload. As for gunpowder, let's use black powder first, after all, smokeless gunpowder can't be obtained.
Li Qinghe did not approve of the use of black powder. There is too much residue after black powder shooting, and long-term use will cause great wear and tear on the chamber of the firearm, even if the gun is cleaned frequently, it cannot stop this damage, so the problem of bullet reloading is discussed again. And they also did not find skilled workers who could carry out the reloading of bullets, and they could not reload at all.
After the final discussion, it was decided that the militia team should be 24 people, with Li Qinghe as the captain and Zhang Niu and Wang Ergou as the deputy captains, who would be responsible for tactical training and discipline teaching. In view of the weakness of the Eighth Route Army's lack of various tactical movements and only the weakness of striking and rushing, Li Qinghe decided to adopt the training policy of his previous life, that is, the standard training program of the People's Liberation Army in the 60s.
From basic queues, to shooting, to various tactical movements, and finally to various military appearance and military discipline training, Li Qinghe wants to train this militia to be the peak of the Chinese army in the 60s.
The team was divided into two teams, one team led by Wang Ergou and the other team led by Zhang Niu, and began to train off-duty. The program of the morning training is also very simple, that is, standing in a military posture.
But training is not an easy task. In just 2 hours in the morning, the most basic standing military posture training made Zhang Niu and Wang Ergou suffer.
Although the recruits are all good guys from the countryside, and they are indeed obedient, their acceptance ability is really not strong. No matter how the two train, this group of guys can't meet the corresponding standards, and they can't do this kind of half-level of their own two, which is really worrying.
Li Qinghe is an old god, and the training of recruits has always been very troublesome, but he has a deep understanding. You must know that the quality of the soldiers in later generations is all junior and senior high school students, and their receptivity is much stronger than that of these peasants, so it will take them three months to give them a more formal appearance.
Therefore, recruit training is not a simple job, let alone a short-term job, but a persistent and long-term job. Don't have a little patience, don't use your brains, and want to train your recruits? Don't even think about it!
However, as soon as the morning was arranged, trouble came in the afternoon. At half past two in the afternoon, as soon as Li Qinghe asked the carpenter to make training tools, a member of the militia team hurriedly ran over from the entrance of the village. "Captain, something is wrong, that group of people is here again, this time there are quite a few people, more than last time."
Hearing this, Li Qinghe's expression also became solemn, "Inform the soldiers to gather at the entrance of the village, this time we may have a big battle." ”
"Yes!" The militia fighters hurriedly ran away and began to inform the men, women and children of the village that the militia was coming. All of a sudden, the village jumped up again, and every household began to close their doors and windows and hide their belongings.
The militia fighters, also carrying their guns, ran to the entrance of the village, hid behind trees or behind stones and walls, and looked nervous as they watched the black pressure on a large group of people not far away.
This is their first head-to-head confrontation with the vigilante, and they have not yet completed their recruit training to become a qualified fighter. has not yet entered the battlefield and experienced the bloodshed of the battlefield. They could only hold the steel gun in their hands tightly to stabilize their trembling mood so that they would not be frightened and faint.
Lying behind a rock, Li Qinghe looked at the group of vigilantes. It can be seen from the walking posture of the other party that this is a rabble, and has undergone very little real militarized training.
At the front of the line, a man with a shell gun was looking at this place with a look of disdain. Standing next to him was the previous Master Liu, and now he was a little groveling behind this person, not saying anything, but his somewhat humiliated look said a lot.
It seems that this Master Liu's status in this Zhou family is very low, Li Qinghe touched his chin, and then showed an interested smile, it seems that there is a lot of articles here.
But who is this man? Looking at the dress, it shouldn't be the so-called Master Zhou. After all, how could a big man personally lead troops to clean up the "Diao Min", it must be his dog's leg, it seems that this person is likely to be the so-called security captain?
