under fire

Chapter 304

The political commissar sat at the top, Lao Qin who came from behind sat on the side, Hu Yi was still standing by the table, the political commissar seemed to have forgotten to let Hu Yi sit.

The figures outside the door swayed, but they didn't dare to come in, and the political commissar didn't let them go.

Ten minutes later, Lao Qin took the initiative to ask the guards accompanying the political commissar to stand guard. It seemed that what he was going to say next needed to be kept secret.

Ding Deyi looked at the guerrilla leader who went out, a little dazed, and asked after a while, "Who is this?"

Hu Yi didn't expect the political commissar to ask this question suddenly: "Uh, I met her when I was going to the headquarters. She is familiar with the roads in the mountains, so I asked her to guide us. Later, the devils kept chasing her, and I haven't had time to send her back."

"Uh, what identity?"

"The guerrilla leader seems to be the person in charge of local work near the headquarters."

"good."

Hu Yi didn't understand what the political commissar meant when he said that he was good, whether he did well or the guerrilla leader was good.

Ding Deyi was born in the old Red Army, and he didn't feel anything before. A few days ago, he saw the head of the regiment fighting fiercely with Song Xiaoci, and his silent heart couldn't help but loosen a little.

"What are you doing standing up, sit down quickly." The political commissar seemed to have just remembered that Hu Yi was still standing, and that he would ask about Su Qing later.

Hu Yi hesitated for a moment, and went straight to sit opposite the political commissar.

The political commissar stopped talking, took out a document from his broken briefcase, and pushed it directly in front of Hu Yi.

Hu Yi looked up at the political commissar, and then turned his eyes to the document. Taking advantage of the bright light outside, he held the document. It was a meeting record with beautiful handwriting on it.

After carefully reading every single word, he raised his head: "The regiment headquarters is stationed at the wine station, and the first company is temporarily stationed? The second company is going out of the mountain?"

"Do you have an opinion?" The political commissar seemed to have eaten gunpowder.

Hu Yi thought for a while: "No objection, you are in charge of the armed task force yourself, isn't it just a battalion-level cadre?"

"Does our independent regiment have battalion-level cadres?"

"Well, that's true."

"Don't think about your promotion to the battalion for the ninth consecutive year. You only have about sixty people in total, and there is only one reinforcement platoon. I would like to promote you, but you don't live up to it."

Although Hu Yi is not a person who wants to be an official, he knows that it is not easy to get married in the Eighth Route Army. He has to either retire from the army, which is not considered, or he can be promoted to the regiment level.

When Ding De saw Hu Yi, his expression was a little gloomy: "Don't be discouraged. Now the Ninth Company and the militia are almost enough for one company. After entering the plains, it will not be a big problem to pull two more companies."

Hu Yi was a little surprised: "However, the document says to reduce personnel, can this militia do it?"

"That depends on your ability. The Eighth Route Army's streamlining targets are mainly government personnel. Some comrades leave the combat troops to civilian jobs due to age, injury and other reasons. According to the situation, in principle, resettlement on the spot, or return to the place of origin.

However, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of combat troops. The independent regiment now has a large defense area and heavy tasks, but it is an opportunity for development. As for your Ninth Company, one-third of the personnel are defected from the national army. The personnel are complex and the ideological work is even worse. Should be strengthened. "

"Then you don't need to strengthen it yourself? What does the leader of the armed task force mean?" Hu Yi didn't quite understand.

"I'm here to assign missions to the Ninth Company. You must have encountered many difficulties when you first entered the plains. Therefore, several missions have to be combined.

The headquarters specifically asked all the ministries to destroy the devil's advance team at all costs, and formulated a plan. In addition, they also cooperated with the underground organization to prepare for an assassination operation against the Japanese North China Command.

At the same time, expanding the armed forces working in enemy-occupied areas is the focus of the armed task force. The superiors will support some personnel to come to enrich the local working force. "

"The advance team and assassination operations don't seem to have much to do with our Ninth Company. After all, we only have such a small number of people. What should we do next?"

"Advancing into the team, haven't you fought two or three times? Now the reputation has spread far and wide, and we are the only one in the division! Now everyone in the division knows that the Jiulian gave our independent regiment leader a disgrace."

"No, it just happened to happen, and I didn't fight head-on every time."

"The regiment researched and decided: Su Qing and Lao Meng will be in charge of the armed task force. Your Ninth Company will cooperate as a combat force. At the same time, the headquarters secret service group will send someone to contact your Ninth Company. As for the female guerrilla captain, yes, What's her last name?"

"My surname is Liu." Hu Yi didn't understand why the political commissar suddenly asked about Captain Liu after he entered the team.

"The headquarters has lost a lot. It is necessary to replenish excellent staff and streamline civilian staff. One of the tasks of the Ninth Company is to ensure that the traffic lines from here to the east through the blockade, and west to the mountains must be smooth, so as to lay a good foundation for the independent regiment to enter the plains. Base."

"We have so few people, can't we? The regiment headquarters wants to enter the plains? There are not even ordinary people here, how can we lay the foundation?"

"There is also the second company. Our independent regiment has been nesting in the mountains all the time. We need no one and no guns. So before we set off, we discussed with the regiment leader before proposing this plan.

This year, the plains suffered from severe drought. According to the information sent to the headquarters by the underground organization, it is estimated that by the end of the year, a large number of refugees will enter this area or enter the mountains. This is a good opportunity to recruit troops. "

"But here is also suffering from drought, and there is no basis for ordinary people to survive. There are too many people, and it is difficult to survive."

"The headquarters requires a large-scale production campaign, not only in the mountains, but also in the plains."

"There is a shortage of water and people, and nothing can be done here, so we originally planned to cross the blockade."

"It's a good way, but the conditions in the plain areas where the blockade is crossed are even more difficult. The devils launched a campaign to strengthen public security. Only then did we organize armed work teams, establish an anti-Japanese democratic government, and allow local gentry to participate. Food now mainly depends on the mountainous areas. In the Li Youde section of Luoye Village, Qingshan Village Bijing has limited production, and Luoye Village and Lvshuipu area can still grow crops because of the river.

One of the priorities of Jiulian's next work is to put Li Youde on his side, so that he can accept refugees no matter what. "

"This shouldn't be a big problem. A few days ago, I received a message from Li Youcai that he wanted us to take someone to beat Li Youde."

"Hit him? Why?"

"In the plains, there are guerrillas attacking the devil's and puppet army's reconnaissance team everywhere. Only in his area, the Eighth Route Army has not moved, so he is afraid instead."

"That's interesting. I didn't expect someone to beg us to beat his hapless bastard."

"He paid [-] oceans for military expenses, or it could be converted into food."

"And this good thing?"

"I think he is afraid of being suspected of being in the wrong. For us, it is not difficult."

"Well, this matter can be considered."

"In addition, there is another problem. Mei County will also start digging blockade ditches, and the person in charge is Li Youcai."

"Ah? He is in charge? These two brothers are interesting, what news?"

"I didn't say anything else, just let us make up our own minds. If we want to mix people in, or if we are caught by the devils and are still in the county jail, we can move around."

"You have to pay attention, the superior has instructions, absolutely not to do business with the enemy!"

"It's not a business, is it? You don't need to bargain, but you just want to use us, because we will attack you when you build a gun tower and dig a blockade. Therefore, he wants to cooperate with us and let us notify you before we fight. By the way, he can also kill some hardcore traitors." gone."

"You can figure it out. Su Qing was originally responsible for the intelligence work of the independent group. Later, Team Leader Zheng personally arrested him. I don't even know what method he used and who he was. There is a problem in the middle. Su Qing's current The establishment is still in the military division, so it’s not easy to handle.”

"Young girl has already borrowed the Qiufeng guerrilla brigade, and also brought the former base of the guerrillas, so I don't think it's a problem."

"Old Lu told me about this matter, our Eighth Route Army has strict discipline, and this matter is still a bit inappropriate, and only you, the Ninth Company, are shameless, and even seek benefits from brother troops. You think no one can control you, right? ?”

"We are an independent regiment, and the Ninth Company is also equivalent to an independent company. Who cares?"

"You also said that you didn't have a plan. One after another, I, the political commissar, have become errands now, and I can do it. I can't decide this matter. You make a plan, and I will tell Lao Lu later."

Looking at the morning light outside the window, Hu Yi was silent for a while: "That's fine, I won't make any demands on you. The Ninth Company will not participate in the matter of advancing into the team with the headquarters special agent group. Let the Second Company do it."

"Commander Gao's opinion is very clear. He is in charge of the south of Mei County, including Xinglong Town, to the east blockade, which is farther away from the devil's North China Command. "

"Anyway, it's because our independent group doesn't have enough people to mess with."

"Hey, don't talk about the personnel, I'm the same. I have added a few times to your Ninth Company. Our independent regiment has a problem in fighting. The more fierce the battle, the greater the casualties. Both the Ninth Company and the Second Company were battered, and it is difficult to recruit soldiers in the mountains. In the future, take it easy and find a way to work from the incoming refugees. Now, gather strength and face the difficulties in front of you.”



After the sky brightened, the number of people in Hu Yi's small room increased, and all of them were above the platoon level.

Lao Meng declined for a long time, and sat with half of his buttocks next to the political commissar, Hu Yi and Lao Qin sat on the side, Su Qing sat on the opposite side alone, Ma Liang, who was hanging in bandages, Tian Sanqi sat at the bottom, and a row was added behind them. On two benches, Li Xiang was sitting alone with a file in his hand, and on the next bench was Luo Fugui, who was yawning, and Chen Chong, who was sitting upright.

"We have a lot of people in Jiulian. We can't even sit at one table. Next time we have an extra table." The political commissar's opening remarks were unexpected.

Hu Yi raised his head and glanced at Su Qing on the opposite side, just as Su Qing glanced over, not far away, Hu Yi felt the waves in the eyes of the opposite side.

That face suddenly became cold again, and his eyes became sharp and swept across.
