Chapter 69: Unintentionally planting willows and willows to become shade

Tian Jiahe looked at Li Baoguo with strange eyes, and the latter nodded guiltily, as if he was saying hello.

Li Zheng and Tian Jiahe looked at each other, and then they laughed.

The reason lies in Li Baoguo. The North China Bureau has only been in operation for a few months, not to mention the special committees below. Many of them have been established less than a month, and they are just empty.

The cadre component is also very complex. Many of them are local underground party organizations, including the Red Army University, the Red Army Military and Political University, and the Anti-Japanese Democratic University. Since the Kuomintang Party headquarters evacuated from North China, they have begun to organize the people to carry out anti-Japanese activities.

Li Baoguo has only been in Hebei for more than a month and has no idea about many situations. In addition, he used to work in cities and had less contact with rural work.

In his eyes, the common people are honest farmers. If there is no war, most of them will face the loess and back to the sky, and live a peaceful life. Where will there be a chance to get in touch with guns?

However, after cleaning the battlefield, Tian Jiahe and his troops evacuated to the safe mountainous area with the local comrades, they were immediately attracted by the actions of a militia.

He was carrying a red silk gun and a hunting knife tied around his waist. He didn't look like a commoner who could use guns. However, he hid aside and returned bullets from the captured Japanese Type 38 rifles, and he looked quite skillful.

Tian Jiahe was curious and thought that this man was a defeated soldier on the front line. After returning to his hometown, he hid. When the Japanese came, they took up weapons to defend their homes.

He looked at the young man who was only in his twenties last year and suddenly felt that the light was getting darker. He looked up and saw Tian Jiahe. He remembered Comrade Li of the Special Committee that he said that this was the leader of the 40th Army field unit, and immediately stood up embarrassedly: "Chief, I don't want to steal bullets, because there are bullets in the captured gun, and it is easy to get fire when transporting and preserving them, so I took out the bullets inside."

The young man explained with a flushed face, Tian Jiahe didn't care whether the young man wanted a bullet or not.

In the war era, bullets were not rare. As long as people who are interested find the ammunition left at the corner of the battlefield, they can always find the ammunition left at the corner of the battlefield. They are lucky and can also pick up intact guns.

"Don't call it the chief, I'm not the chief. What's the name of a young man? Look at your outfit, you look like a militia, but I'm surprised. How could you be so familiar with guns when you just joined the militia?" Tian Jiahe said in confusion.

The young man smiled shyly and said, "Chief, my name is Kong Youcai. Back then, the Grand Marshal... Oh... No, he was the deputy commander-in-chief and ordered the young and strong people in each township and village to train twice a year, seven days a day. Later, because there were too many people, there was a age restriction, and only those from 15 to 25 had the opportunity to participate in such training."

"Training? What training?" Tian Jiahe became even more confused.

"The first year was to practice shooting, and everyone had five bullets, but there were too many people that year, and I don't know how many bullets were knocked out. So the second year changed it to be aimed at rifle and rubbing guns. When the deputy commander-in-chief handled it in the first year, I was exactly 15 years old. Until last winter, I had not fallen down for three years. I have wiped this gun before, and I can even dismantle it. Why don't I dismantle it for the chief?" Kong Youcai said that when he pulled the bolt, it was a standard action to dismantle the rifle.

Now, Tian Jiahe's interests were attracted. It was only a year and half a month. What he could learn was unknown. He nodded and said, "I dare not call him the leader. My surname is Tian. I am Tian from Farmland. I will call me Comrade Tian from now on."

Kong Youcai nodded and said, "Okay, Comrade Tian. Comrade Li is also so called so kind."

"Okay! Remove the gun and install it again. I'll see if the steps are right."

Kong Youcai found a clean straw mat, then half-kneeled on the straw mat, holding the Type 38 rifle in both hands.

Crack-

Kong Youcai quickly removed the bolt, and then the thimble, spring and other parts. The accessories were placed on the straw mat in an orderly manner. When the accessories were removed, Kong Youcai looked up at Tian Jiahe.

Then Tian Jiahe looked at him with a smile, then lowered his head and assembled all the rifles.

Tian Jiahe was already happy to see that although Kong Youcai was not very skilled, he could still follow the steps and decompose and assemble the rifle step by step.

Patting Kong Youcai's shoulder, Tian Jiahe praised: "Young man, you're doing a good job. If the recruits are like you, they can go to the battlefield in just one month."

Kong Youcai was praised by the cadres of the 40th Army, and his face was filled with joy: "Chief, can you accept me? I want to join the army to fight the Japanese."

"Okay, you're the one." After Tian Jiahe said that, he happily pulled Kong Youcai from the ground. He turned around and went to find Li Zheng. He didn't know at first that an ordinary farmer could be so skilled in guns in Hebei. If he really recruited soldiers near Wu'an County and fought guerrillas, the source of troops would not be lacking.

Moreover, they are all young and strong.

The result became the scene at the beginning. Even Li Baoguo, a member of the Special Committee and the first battalion, was so surprised that he didn't speak for a long time.

Li Zheng really didn't expect that after the Great Wall War, Zhang Xueliang would really bring all the people under Hebei to the army.

Know your shame and be brave.

In the early days of the Great Wall War of Resistance, the Northeast Army commanded by Zhang Xueliang not only threw most of Rehe and Chahar to the Japanese army, almost letting the Japanese attack on the Japanese. If Peking was lost at that time, the War of Resistance would have broken out early.

However, Tian Jiahe was still a little worried. Obviously, after Zhang Xueliang suffered two major losses in a row, his family hatred and national hatred suddenly found a vent of his vent, and he went to extremes.

Li Baoguo hesitated for a while and said, "I want to apologize to the two comrades. I did not do my job in detail and made a serious subjective mistake. I came to Hebei only after I studied at the Anti-Japanese University last month. It turned out that I also worked in the underground party in Henan. Ordinary people dared not think about military training in Henan. When Liu Zhi was in charge, the uprising and riots were enough for him to drink a pot every year during famine."

"Haha..., the Yellow River in Henan has been experiencing nine disasters in ten years. The people have been struggling on the brink of death. Although Liu Zhi was confused, he was not so confused that his people would use guns. Otherwise, the people who could not survive would either rebel or go up the mountain to be bandits. It was not something that the provincial chairman could take on." Li Zheng could see through the regionality of this policy at a glance. Compared with the people in Henan, the people in Hebei were richer in life.

"Comrade Li Baoguo, I discussed it with Battalion Commander Tian. I felt that staying near Wu'an and reorganizing the armed forces from all over the country could indeed play a great role in hindering. Especially for young people nearby, many of them would use weapons, which could shorten a lot of time in training. As long as you participate in a few small-scale battles, the combat effectiveness will definitely go up." Li Zheng said the result of his discussion with Tian Jiahe.

Just when he was reported to the army, Zeng Yiyang nodded, Luo Ronghuan signed, and took the villagers in southern Hebei to fight the Japanese, and then the matter of fighting the Japanese was decided.

When Li Baoguo heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay! OK! Welcome... Oh..., the main force of the 40th Army." Li Baoguo never understood from beginning to end. The unit led by Tian Jiahe was named in the 40th Army, so he said it nicely.

"We are not the main force." Li Zheng waved his hand and denied that in the 40th Army, the recognized main force only has 7 infantry regiments, 2 cavalry regiments, and 2 artillery regiments.

Among the infantry, the three infantry regiments directly under the brigade of the 115th Brigade and the 116th Brigade are the main forces, and the army is directly under the ** regiment, and they are also the main forces. Tian Jiahe's battalion comes from the supplementary regiment and is not considered an elite main force. In terms of soldiers, they are all veterans.

Many have participated in many battles for several years, and have participated in many battles of all sizes.

But unlike other main forces, after the Supplementary Regiment was mixed, it became a new unit. Due to its short establishment time and no history can be said, many cadres of the 40th Army privately believed that the ** brigade formed by the Supplementary Regiment was not considered the main force.

Just like the ** regiment directly under the 40th Army, in the battle of Burial Mapo, a battalion blocked the attack of a Japanese cavalry brigade for half a day, creating time for the main force to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army.

When the 231st Regiment crossed the river north in 33 years, it was still difficult to achieve the record of defeating two counties in a row in a row; the 229th Regiment fought against a brigade of the Japanese army in Zhangbei. After seven days of fighting, the Japanese army did not get any advantage in the hands of the 229th Regiment...

The establishment of the **Travel was only two months, and history was almost blank.

Therefore, what Li Zheng said was not considered modest. But if we really talk about combat effectiveness, these troops were not very different. After all, the training was similar, and the weapons and equipment were not much different. Most of the military cadres in the army came out of the teaching regiment, and many of them even went to the Red Army University for further studies. It can be said that the division was from the same school.

In the absence of strength, Tian Jiahe does lurk in the enemy-occupied area and wait for an opportunity to find fighter jets. After all, as long as the 14th Division heads south, the Japanese army will inevitably have a vacuum area under control. As long as Tian Jiahe's battalion moves on the railway line, even if there is no result in the battle, it will scare the Japanese army to death.

But good news came one after another, Li Zheng was indeed hesitant. He even had a kind of passion and wanted to persuade Tian Jiahe to stay the troops because he saw the possibility of the troops growing rapidly.

Li Zheng also has a seizure count in his hand, which is very rich in supplies.

There are 87 imitation Mauser rifles and more than 19,000 bullets;

Jin-made 5 shell guns and 870 bullets;

1 rubbish, two boxes of bullets, 200 rounds;

There are 29 southern pistols and more than 1,900 bullets;

There are 5 light machine guns with squid handles, several accessories (mainly because the entire gun has been damaged, but some parts can still be used), and more than 3,000 machine gun bullets;

There are 3 Czech light machine guns, machine gun bullets and Mauser rifle bullets are universal;

185 Type 38 rifles and more than 30,000 bullets;

3 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 8 boxes of machine gun bullets;

60 mortars, 67 shells;

Three wheels on the side, and you can still drive.

All the weapons were confiscated, which was enough to form a standard infantry battalion. It was originally a pity that Tian Jiahe and Li Zheng were still worried about giving all the weapons to the county brigade of Wu'an County.

But all the personnel of the county brigade gathered together. Except for the necessary tactical training, most of them would use rifles. Although no one could use machine guns, this was not a problem. Some of Tian Jiahe's first battalion were sub-machine gunners, and they usually trained like machine gunners.

By arranging to the county brigade, the combat capability of a county brigade can be immediately improved.

The question facing Li Zheng of Tian Jiahe is whether the first battalion should stay in Wu'an County, and this requires reporting to the army to wait for the army to reply. Another is that once it stays in Wu'an County and accepts the leadership of the 40th Army, there will be a lot of trouble in command, and the directly subordinate superior departments will also need to change.

Seeing that the matter had been discussed almost, Li Baoguo stood up, moved his legs, squatted on the ground for a long time, and his legs became a little numb: "Two comrades, since that's the case, do you think this is OK? I discussed with several comrades from the county brigade and incorporated the county brigade into your army, so that it can be turned into two battalions. It can also be regarded as a B-type regiment."

Tian Jiahe quickly stopped and said, "Let's wait first. We have reported the situation here to our superiors. I believe the instructions will be issued soon. The county brigade is still called the county brigade, so don't disband the personnel, we will send people to train first."

A unit is not something that can be trained overnight, and expansion is not a bad idea.

But for the first battalion, the sharp decline in combat effectiveness after expansion is likely to be the culprit for ruining the first battalion.

Beneath the Japanese army's eyes, we must be cautious. Even if we unfortunately encounter war with the Japanese army, the first battalion of soldiers with strong combat capabilities can retreat safely under extremely small losses.

But what about the one battalion that doubles the expansion? The answer is to put quotes.

Besides, the local young and middle-aged people are familiar with firearms, but are not familiar with other military subjects. Fighting still tests the coordinated combat capabilities and comprehensive qualities of a unit.

At this time, the 40th Army headquarters also received a telegram from the Japanese-occupied area, and a field force actually asked to stay in the place to fight guerrillas.

Zeng Yiyang and others discussed it and felt that it was obvious that it was unlikely that a battalion of troops would be allowed to destroy the Japanese army's heavily defended arsenal or field artillery.

And small-scale fights can easily fall into the encirclement of a large number of Japanese troops.

"I suggest that the ** Brigade draw three other companies to supplement Tian Jiahe's first battalion and form a small regiment. This also adds a guarantee to persist in the harsh environment." Zeng Yiyang thought about it and still felt that Tian Jiahe's troops were too weak and too small, and lacks certain combat capabilities to deal with the Japanese army.

"I agree, but Zhang Xueliang is amazing enough. He has trained all the young people in Hebei. This is not a small amount. The annual expenses are less than 600,000 yuan, so I can't get it." When Xie Weijun saw the telegram, he took a breath of air conditioning, absolutely a big deal.

Chen Guang asked himself in confusion: "I wondered when Zhang Xueliang thought of such a loss-making trick. It seems that he wanted to use the young and strong people in Hebei to become a bargaining chip for the Northeast Army to counterattack the three eastern provinces?"

Chen Guang said as he shook his head, but he couldn't guess what kind of tricks he used was always strange. Generally, the warlords on the Kuomintang would do such thankless things.

Zeng Yiyang rolled his eyelids and thought for a while, saying everything he thought: "I seemed to be saying this to Zhang Xueliang at that time, but I was just talking casually at that time, but I didn't expect Zhang Xueliang to take it seriously."

After Zeng Yiyang finished speaking, he laughed in a low voice.
