Chapter 59: Suppressing Bandits
As the training gradually rolled out, the bandits were put on the agenda. Uncle Cousin briefed me and the chief of staff on the bandit situation in Shaanxi. According to Uncle Tang's introduction, banditry activities in Shaanxi can be described as rampant, and banditry in southern Shaanxi, northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and Suiyuan is the most intense.
For example, there are as many as 100,000 bandits in southern Shaanxi. There are 18 bandits with more than 1,000 people, including Wang Sanchun, Li Gangwu, Shen Liting, Zhou Shouwa, Wang Zhisheng, etc., and the local people jokingly call them "Eighteen Road Princes".
Guanzhong bandits, bandits with more than 1,000 people include Li Shuiwa, Han Shichang, Yu Youbang and other stocks.
Bandits in northern Shaanxi, with more than 1,000 people, have Yang Monkey and other shares, and more than 100 people have Zhang Tingzhi, Gao Huaixiong, Qi Yushan and other shares.
Small bandits and groups of bandits are even more numerous.
Bandits raped, burned, and killed, disregarded human lives, did all kinds of evil, and were seriously out of content.
Those bandit leaders are all evil, and Wang Sanchun and Zhou Shouwa are all famous bandits. Literate people like Wang Sanchun are even more harmful! Brutal killing, now Zhenba County monopolizes one side, identifies itself as the county magistrate, recruits soldiers and horses, accumulates grass and grain, issues currency, is financially independent, and makes guns and bullets.
Zhou Shouwa of Shang County, nicknamed "Zhou Wolf", burned, killed and plundered at the borders of Dajing, Banqiao, Heilongkou and Luonan, Huaxian, Weinan, Lantian and other counties in Shang County, dominating one side, with hundreds of people.
……
Uncle Cousin spoke all morning! The chief of staff is indignant!
Zhou Shouwa was one of those who had a vague impression of herself in her previous life, and was exterminated by the People's Liberation Army after liberation; There is no memory of the others, and at that time, the main concern of his troops was the rout of the Ma Jiajun.
I also asked Wu Tiezhu, he was from the mountainous area of Shang County, was wiped out by bandits, and ran out. When I go out hunting and come back, my home is gone, and my relatives are gone! In the end, he didn't know what the bandits had done!
After a few days of discussion, the three of them basically had a direction. In the end, I made a decision: "Uncle Cousin, Chief of Staff, it is impossible to solve the problem of bandits without solving the root cause of banditry, and we can't do anything about this!" The fundamental purpose of our suppression of bandits is to train troops! This time I decided to raid Zhenba County, the goal is not to eliminate the bandits and eradicate Wang Sanchun, if he is unlucky enough to be killed, it is another matter! The goal was to cut off the root cause of his development, which was to seize the bandit's floating wealth and destroy his arsenal and mint equipment. The equipment that can be pulled back is pulled back, and everything else is destroyed. At present, most of Yang Hucheng's army is encircling and blocking the Red Army, and the key defense area in the direction of Zhenba is in Sichuan, and Zhenba happens to be a vacant area. Once the raid is successful, the bandits' enemies will be everywhere! I'm afraid that the surrounding governments may take advantage of his illness to kill him.
Bandit Zhou Shouwa is used as our long-term small team training! Uncle Cousin asked his second uncle for a map of Zhenba County and an official letter for a business trip to that area, and asked Grandpa what they knew about the situation in Zhenba County. The participants were the 100 people who were trained, plus me and the chief of staff! Uncle Tang, I, and the chief of staff made a plan, and Uncle Tang sat in charge of eternal life. I, the chief of staff, commanded the operation, and Han Ping and Peng Chengfu commanded the front group. It is scheduled to be executed in 5 days, on March 15th! It happens to be the first day of the new year, and there is no moon! Uncle arranged for people to purchase 50 flashlights and batteries, and 110 sets of leather hats, fur gloves, and fur coats to protect them from the cold on the road, and did not wear steel helmets. I conduct personnel grouping and targeted training. ”
8 sniper teams were formed, snipers and observers; Equipped with a sniper rifle plus 8x scope, a Luger pistol, a Mauser pistol, a Mauser pistol cartridge automatic rifle, and 4 grenades. 10 three-person assault groups, armed with one six pistols with silencers, an automatic rifle with Mauser pistol cartridges with silencers, a Mauser short rifle, a Czech light machine gun. Han Ping and Peng Chengfu served as captains, and they chose an assistant to the captain. The other personnel were organized into a machine gun team of 4 people, two mortar teams of 5 people each, each group wearing an automatic rifle with a pistol of their choice, and four G34 machine gun groups of 8 people with a pistol of their choice. With 14 trucks, the driver is equipped with Luger and barge guns, and the rest are divided into 2 combat 7-person support squads equipped with Mauser short rifles and pistols of your choice! The little grandfather was selected by Han Ping to be the assistant to the captain.
Next, each group conducts group cooperation training and task-specific training according to the task. The chief of staff arranged the route of travel, and the cousin arranged for reinforcements to be sent at any time. The chief of staff took the radio personnel and brought the big force himself. All 104 people, bring their own dry food! Before departure, there was a chief of staff to announce orders and battlefield discipline!
Take the little girls and boys back to Xi'an to meet grandpa and grandpa. also brought back a bunch of complaints, and the gossip and grievances were found to be a place. Xiao Ya, who was wearing a bloated militia uniform, hugged her grandfather with tears streaming down her eyes, and counted to her grandfather that it was broken, frozen, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and the instructor scolded ....... Grandpa and grandpa were also distressed when they looked at it, and promised a number of conditions, including severely punishing me, giving them a ...... at the evening banquet or something, and giving them gifts, before they were appeased. promised to compensate, dragged Xiaoya who was pouting to see Aunt Liu, ignored the crying mother, and went back to see grandpa and grandpa by himself.
Grandpa and Grandpa were not willing to take risks on their own. He talked about the basic ideas and plans of this operation, and finally said: "Grandpa, grandpa, a soldier who does not see blood is not a real soldier, and the training that does not see blood is only training on paper. Although our weapons are a little better, after all, weapons are a thing in people's hands, some people can play well, and some people can't! Thousands of miles back and forth, unexpected and sudden attacks, there is basically no risk. It's not a problem for me, I have to face greater risks, and I need people to help me! I have to know what these people are capable of! Of course, it would have been better if such an operation had been launched in the next few months! It's just that I have to go to Tianjin at the beginning of April, and I don't have any extra time to train them, and I also need them to be able to keep up with my actions in Tianjin. Grandpa, you know, there is nothing 100% sure about the mall, and if there is, you will definitely not do it. This is especially true on the battlefield, I know how important I am and I will protect myself well. ”
persuaded grandpa and grandpa to have lunch with Xiaoya's mother and daughter at noon. Teased Xiaoya, who took a bite of the dish I gave her, pouted at me and said, "I heard that you didn't learn anything in the barracks except being frozen?" "I stabbed the hornet's nest.
Xiaoya protested with her teeth and claws: "Stinky brother, you don't care about me at all!" I'm a female soldier squad leader! The gun is the most accurate, and the training subjects are the first! My brother has wronged me and I want to apologize! ”
"Okay, it's my brother's fault, how about my brother's apology? How about paying for a pistol? ”
"Humph! That's pretty much ......! Xiaoya received a slap on the head from her mother.
"Fangwu, it has never been refined white, and now it still has some pink, and it is no longer possible to see the connection with the raw materials."
"Aunt Liu has worked hard, you have to continue to research!" I know what she means.
Brought Xiao Ya a PP pistol and magazine, Xiao Ya saw the beautiful little pistol, and immediately liked to hug me and kiss me, okay! The qualification to be an older brother is back! Explain the characteristics and use of the pistol to Xiaoya in detail, and demonstrate the disassembly and assembly several times. After all, after military training, it was quickly skillfully disassembled and assembled. looked at Xiaoya, who couldn't help but want to test the gun, so she had to ask the bodyguard to take her to test the gun outside the city.
Always on the alert, I looked through the German medical journals I had brought back, and finally found a paper in the monthly issue of 1930 that reprinted the discovery of penicillin by the British bacteriologist Fleming.
I translated it carefully, and some medical terms were really difficult to translate, so I had to write the words and go to the hospital to find Karls Pinoza to help explain, and I could understand it or not! I handed the translation to Aunt Liu and said, "Aunt Liu, this is the key research project you went to the United States, that is, how to refine and scale production, I am not good at translating professional terms, you can just look at it first." It is estimated that there will also be publications in the United States that will reprint it and conduct in-depth research and experiments in the United States. The research process, methods and results related to Aunt Liu are all listed in top secret, and Xiaoya doesn't need to know! ”
"I know what's at stake! Rest assured! "Aunt Liu is completely convinced.
