Chapter 108 First encounter with the military

Donghui Town, the third battalion of the National Rescue Army was stationed.

According to Zhou Cheng's previous thoughts, whether the guerrillas were reorganized to the National Salvation Army were stationed in the mountains, and they could attack and retreat or defend, which was very safe.

The night before the troops were reorganized, Zhou Cheng suddenly changed his mind.

After studying why the National Salvation Army was so short-lived in history, Zhou Cheng found that there was a fundamental difference between them and the Eighth Route Army in terms of development.

The National Salvation Army still relies on top of the peak to survive in supply weapons and ammunition. Once blocked, it will be not far from being destroyed.

The Eighth Route Army relied on itself to establish bases behind enemy lines and be self-sufficient. No matter how the Japanese and puppet troops blocked it, they could survive.

This means that no matter what identity the guerrillas are in fighting against the Japanese and puppet troops in the future, they must establish bases if they want to survive behind enemy lines.

There are no ordinary people in the mountains, so it is safe to hide inside, but there is no way to establish a base.

Now the National Salvation Army Command and the other two battalions share the pressure from the Japanese and puppet troops. The troops took the opportunity to withdraw from Jinshan, and the pressure to establish a base outside the mountain will definitely decrease sharply.

In order to build the base faster, Zhou Cheng temporarily decided to transfer the base to Donghui Town, where the guerrillas once moved.

There is also another benefit to doing this.

The breeding farm, the future field hospitals of the troops, and the material warehouses... are all in Jinshan.

They are too important. If you want to ensure safety, the best way is to make the Japanese no longer pay attention to it, believing that there are no anti-Japanese armed forces in Jinshan.

The guerrillas were reorganized into the Third Battalion of the National Salvation Army, walked out of Jinshan, and stationed in Donghui Town. Then they recruited soldiers and expanded their strength in Donghui Town. The Japanese's attention would definitely shift to Donghui Town, and their attention to Jinshan would be reduced or even ignored.

The guerrillas turned into the National Salvation Army, and had a regular army organization, and returned to Donghui Town to garrison the troops. The happiest thing was the family members of the local guerrillas.

Their son and husband are not only anti-Japanese heroes, but also recognized by the government and are no longer called bandit armed forces.

In addition, the guerrillas have a good reputation in the local area. They neither distribute food to everyone, nor force buying and selling, but also help the people carry water and repair houses... It's like a family. As soon as the news of the Third Battalion recruiting soldiers came out, many young people who had concerns about joining the guerrillas had signed up one after another.

The Third Battalion Division, Deputy Battalion Commander Tang Yufeng ran in with a smile on his face. Before he could stand firm, he was excited to report: "Battery Commander, the few recruiting sites have recruited 128 new recruits so far, and we have already had 300 small men, but the remaining equipment of the troops is limited. Do you want to stop for the time being?"

The National Salvation Army had no instructors or instructors. After the guerrillas were reorganized, Tang Yufeng could only continue his original work as the deputy battalion commander.

The battalion headquarters also has two deputy battalion commanders.

One was sent by the National Salvation Army Headquarters to monitor Zhou Cheng and the Third Battalion, named Li Honghui, who was not very talkative, but Zhou Cheng could feel that this person was not simple, and he was probably from the Military Control Commission.

However, as long as he stayed in the Third Battalion and was not excited and rogue, Zhou Chengru would not deal with him and put him in the camp for supply.

The other is Chen Zhengyu.

He has the ability, knowledge, and has rich experience in grassroots combat. He is too talented to put him below as the company platoon leader.

After the guerrillas were expanded into a battalion, someone would definitely act as the chief of staff around him, give him advice and remind him that Zhou Cheng felt that Chen Zhengyu was very competent, so he immediately transferred him to the battalion headquarters to serve as deputy battalion commander.

After hearing the good news from Tang Yufeng, the two people's reactions were completely opposite.

Chen Zhengyu looked worried and was not excited because there were many new recruits.

Li Honghui looked excited, as if he was happy for recruiting a large number of new recruits in the army. As for whether there were other reasons, no one knew.

Zhou Cheng also had his own idea and decisively ordered: "Stop recruiting new recruits immediately!"

"Why?" Li Honghui was very confused.

Then he stared at Zhou Chengyi and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Battery Commander, the Japanese may attack our National Salvation Army at any time. The war is imminent. The more troops the better. What if the Japanese fight over, what should we do if our troops are not enough?"

"We have only recruited more than 120 recruits, and we can just fill the seven or eight or two companies with a full set of subsidies."

"The officers of the Ninth Company are already all over the place. Although they are all transferred from the headquarters, they are not old people who have always followed the battalion commander. They are not familiar with them, but they are also soldiers and want to fight the Japanese. Battalion Commander, you can't favor one or the other, don't care about them?"

Zhou Cheng understood: The reason why Li Honghui hoped that the recruits of the Third Battalion would get better and better was that he hoped that the Ninth Company would be fully equipped soon and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

He was isolated in the battalion headquarters and wanted to take action, he had to have the support of the troops.

The company commander of the Ninth Company transferred from the headquarters must have listened to him.

Only when the Ninth Company has formed combat power can he have the confidence and dare to carry out his secret missions in the battalion headquarters.

Otherwise, I could only stay in the camp and be a turtle.

Since he knew the other party’s plan, Zhou Cheng must destroy it and pretended to be dissatisfied with an expression of dissatisfaction: "I am the battalion commander of the Third Battalion. If I say I don’t recruit soldiers, I won’t recruit soldiers."

"As for the Ninth Company, I also want them to develop combat effectiveness as soon as possible, but the troops are not allowed to have people alone, they also need guns and bullets!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Cheng decided to rebel against Li Honghui and his army and find something for him to do so that he would not keep thinking about his secret mission.

Without waiting for Li Honghui to retort, he stared at him and asked: "Deputy Battalion Commander Li, we entered Donghui Town to eliminate the Twenty-sixth and the Japanese. I asked you to report the military achievements and losses. It has been several days since then, so the headquarters has not reacted at all."

"Is it because the Third Battalion was adapted from the guerrillas and raised by the stepmother, and he didn't even have any commendations after winning the battle."

"I also expect the headquarters to make up for our losses in combat and replenish our rifles directly equipped with the Ninth Company."

"There is no reward or compensation now. What can I do to form the Ninth Company?"

"This..." Li Honghui was speechless when Zhou Cheng asked.

But in order to enable the Ninth Company to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, he started to carry out secret missions one day earlier and obtained the command of the Third Battalion. Li Honghui did not refute and replied with a tough bullet: "I will go to the headquarters today and I will definitely get back the rewards and compensation you said to be in the battalion commander!"

Zhou Cheng nodded: "I believe Deputy Battalion Commander Li."

"I will also give you a promise. I will give you as many rifles as my superiors compensate us. I will give you as many rifles as my battalion headquarters will not detain any gun."

After Li Honghui left, the subtle atmosphere of the command center suddenly became lively. Chen Zhengyu was so excited that he almost jumped up: "Captain, you were so good at just now that you finally drove this person out of the command center for the time being."

"Although this kid has done nothing for a few days and rarely speaks, he has transferred our third battalion and recognized all the officers above the platoon leader. I have seen it all. If there is no conspiracy, I will not believe it if I beat you to death."

Zhou Cheng said, "I have a bold guess that Li Honghui should have come from the Military Commission."

"I must have entered the Third Battalion to win over the cadres below, divide us, undermine us, and then get the command of our Third Battalion, and finally get rid of us a few."

"Hiss..." Tang Yufeng took a breath. As a political cadre, he had some understanding of the Military Control Commission.

It was a place specializing in spies. The people inside did not use any means to achieve their goals, and they were all terrified in the Central Army, which shows how scary their means and strength were.

The guerrillas have only two hundred troops and do not have much reputation. How could they attract such people?

If this sentence was not from Zhou Cheng's mouth, Tang Yufeng would not believe that Li Honghui had something to do with the Military Control Commission.

He asked quickly: "Battery Commander, since I know that Chen Honghui is a man who is incompetent, I suggest that we find a way to drive him out of the Third Battalion."

"The Military Control Commission not only has many methods, but also ruthless. Once they get involved, they will definitely make them messy."

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "You can't drive him away, and you have to let him stay in the Third Battalion, otherwise our guerrillas have the same intention to join the National Salvation Army."

"If this attracts the attention of the above, and leaving Chen Honghui immediately attracts more Chen Honghui, it is better not to let him go. It is definitely easier to focus on a person who knows the truth than focusing on a few people who don't even know their identities."

Tang Yufeng nodded: "It's true, but it's too dangerous to keep a person with two hearts in the camp department!"

Zhou Cheng snorted coldly and replied: "Don't worry, even if Chen Honghui is really from the Special High School, he will still be able to take care of me when he arrives at our third battalion."

"You just said it was too dangerous to keep him in the battalion headquarters. So we arranged more tasks for him like we did just now so that he would not have the chance to stay in the battalion headquarters."

"If Chen Honghui is really from the Special High School Course, Wang Dehou of the headquarters will give him face. Then we will use his identity to specifically help us contact the superiors, give us more rewards, supplies, and use it for my own use."

Tang Yufeng's eyes lit up: "Good solution!"

"If Chen Honghui really comes from the Military Control Commission, then his visit to the headquarters today will definitely have results."

"I won't say too much, as long as I can bring me back ten good guns, I will be very satisfied."

Chen Zhengyu suddenly reminded: "What should I do if the Ninth Company?"

"The company commander, deputy company commander, and three platoon commanders are all cadres sent by the headquarters. After the formation is completed, Chen Honghui will definitely follow his lead and will not obey our orders."

"Simple!" Zhou Cheng was still as confident as ever.

After the guerrillas accepted the adaptation, Zhou Cheng was thinking about these issues.

Combining the historical memory in his mind, he really thought of many ways. The most direct way is to communicate with officers. If you have me and I have you, slowly understand the other party. If you can take it to yourself, you will take it to yourself. If you can't, transfer him out of the army through open and secret tunes.

The headquarters can overthrow itself through this kind of report, and it can also overthrow the officers sent by the headquarters in the same way.

Looking at Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu's order: "Transfer the former deputy platoon commander of the third platoon of the guerrillas to the Ninth Company as the deputy company commander, and the current deputy company commander of the Ninth Company to the Eighth Company as the deputy company commander."

"Then draw one platoon leader from the seventh and eighth companies to the nineth company, and arrange to draw two platoon leaders from the nineth company to the seventh and eighth companies."

"We two platoon leaders are watching one platoon leader. The squad leader below is our own people. No matter how sincere they are, they can't make any big fuss."
