The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 234 Master Nine's Gift

After the silence was over, the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more oppressive. Company Commander Sanlian and Zhang Jiawang were childhood playmates who grew up together, so he couldn't help crying.

Jiang Xiaomei is also from Zhangjiazhuang. Although she is the battalion commander of the independent battalion, she should control her emotions.However, she was a woman after all, so she couldn't help crying softly.

Although Yang Jiong didn't have such a deep relationship with Zhang Jiawang and others, they were also soldiers of the independent battalion after all, and he, the political commissar, felt very sad.However, he didn't want the backbone of the independent battalion to fall into grief too much, but should turn grief into strength to do a good job in the next step of the independent battalion's construction.

He waited patiently for a while, and seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, he said: "Comrades, comrades in three companies and one row died tragically under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders. We must avenge this revenge, and everyone must cheer up." Rise up, turn grief into strength, and destroy this murderous devil's cavalry."

Since the Independent Battalion did not have a radio station, the news that Gao Jiu and others had wiped out the No. 18 Brigade of the Japanese cavalry had not yet reached the Independent Battalion.

Hearing Yang Jiong's words, Jiang Xiaomei wiped away her tears, stood up and clenched her fists and said: "Commissioner Yang is right, we all must cheer up, find the devil's cavalry unit, hit them hard, and sacrifice for the sacrifices." to avenge his comrades."

"revenge."

"revenge."

The cadres of the Independence Battalion all stood up, with anger in their eyes, and excitedly clenched their fists and shouted slogans.

Yang Jiong saw that the comrades cheered up, and he said: "Next, let's study how to find the cavalry unit of the devils, and then hit them hard."

He is a very sensible person. After this period of training, he has gradually matured in military affairs.He knew in his heart that with the current strength of the Independence Battalion, it was incapable of fighting against the 18th Japanese Cavalry Battalion. He did not want the commanders and fighters of the Independence Battalion to be blinded by anger and blindly fight the powerful Japanese Cavalry. , It is very likely that it will lead to the complete annihilation of the Independence Battalion.

Seeing that the cadres of the independent battalion were so excited, he could not pour cold water on everyone at this time, but could only guide everyone to seriously analyze the enemy's situation and let everyone calm down slowly.

Mr. Yang's approach is correct.Although the cadres of the independent battalion were furious, when they really started to study how to deal with the devil's cavalry, everyone realized that they were basically helpless.

Not to mention the cadres of the Independent Battalion who have only a few months of military experience, even those of the old Eight Route Army, including the cadres from the Red Army, have no experience in fighting cavalry.He knew nothing about the devil's cavalry.Everyone discussed and discussed, only to find that there is no basis for even the discussion.

Don't talk about how to deal with the devil's cavalry, but how to find this devil's cavalry, no one can come up with an accurate idea.

Soon, everyone's mood fell again.

Yang Jiong said: "Comrades, don't be pessimistic. Fighting devils is not something that happens overnight. My opinion is that while we are looking for the devil's cavalry unit, we should pay close attention to the training of the troops. First of all, we must do our own affairs well. In the future, we will definitely If there is a chance, we will destroy this devil's cavalry unit."

After finishing speaking, he winked at Chief of Staff Huang Shuigen.Huang Shuigen understood what he meant, and he said: "Commissioner Yang is right. Our independent battalion has just been established, and we still lack experience in all aspects. We should first do the things at hand and pay close attention to the training of the troops. Wait until After the troops have been trained and their combat effectiveness has improved, let's attack the cavalry troops of the devils and avenge the sacrificed comrades."

Today's Jiang Xiaomei, as the top leader of the independent battalion, has gradually matured. She agrees with Yang Jiong and Huang Shuigen.

She said: "Comrades! When it comes to feelings, Comrade Zhang Jiawang and I are both from Zhangjiazhuang. We have known each other very well since childhood. There is also He Cuiyun from the female soldier squad. She has always been by my side.

Zhang Jiawang, He Cuiyun and comrades in the third company and the first row died, and my heart was even more sad. I felt the same as everyone else. I wished I could go to the devils immediately to avenge the sacrificed comrades.

However, I agree with the opinions of Political Commissar Yang and Chief of Staff Huang. Starting from today, the independent battalion should increase the level of training and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops as soon as possible. "

Under the guidance of the three leaders of the independent battalion, the emotions of the cadres returned to normal, and everyone began to discuss the next training work.

Li Degong, the former captain of the first squadron of the county brigade and now the commander of the first company of the independent battalion, said: "The battalion commander, the instructor, speaking of training, now our soldiers have guns in their hands, but there are no bullets. We practice aiming every day. Live ammunition shooting, how can this marksmanship be improved?"

"Yes."

"Yes, there is no ammunition. This is a big problem." The cadres of the independent battalion talked about it.

If you are not in charge of the family, you don’t know how much money you need. Today’s independent camp has more than 400 people. Eating, drinking, and sleeping are very troublesome, and the problem of lack of ammunition is even more serious.

Jiang Xiaomei was a little upset, she subconsciously said: "It would be great if Brother Jiu was here."

When the cadres of the independent battalion heard what the battalion commander said, their eyes immediately brightened.

It turned out that the cadres of the independent battalion from the county brigade were naturally very familiar with Gao Jiu.The cadres of the Eighth Route Army who were rescued from the prisoner-of-war camp were grateful to Gao Jiu and agreed with him very much.It can be said that Gao Jiu has an extremely high status in the hearts of the cadres of the independent battalion.

Li Degong said: "Battle Commander, you have the closest relationship with Master Jiu. Why don't you talk to Master Jiu and let him support us with some more bullets. It's best to let him take our independent battalion to fight the devil's cavalry together."

Li Degong's words resonated with the cadres of the independent battalion. Everyone hoped to fight with Gao Jiu's Taohuashan Special Forces. The previous battles were really happy.Everyone agreed with Li Degong's opinion.

Both Yang Jiong and Huang Shuigen had the same idea. They believed that if the Independent Battalion could follow Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas to fight together, the risk would be less and the growth would be faster.

Jiang Xiaomei frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "Unfortunately Brother Jiu went to Wuhan, I don't know when he will come back."

There is an old saying in China, which is called Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come.Before Xiaomei Jiang finished speaking, she heard someone outside the door calling for a report.

A sentry said in surprise; "Chief of Staff Tian is back, Master Jiu sent him here, and he brought a lot of things."

"Brother Jiu is back?" Jiang Xiaomei stood up and said excitedly.

Everyone went to greet Tian Chuan and others together.

Half an hour later, all the soldiers of the Independence Battalion assembled. Tian Chuan, the former chief of staff of the Independence Battalion, reported to everyone how the Taohuashan guerrillas had annihilated the Japanese Cavalry No. 18 Battalion. Excited.

Hearing that Gao Jiu and others had wiped out the 18th Cavalry Battalion of the Japanese Army who killed Zhang Jiawang and others in the Independence Battalion, the officers and soldiers of the Independence Battalion felt very relieved, and gave warm applause to Tagawa's report.

Tian Chuan went on to say: "Master Jiu said that the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas and the independent battalion are like a family, so they specially sent me to send a batch of weapons and equipment to the independent battalion." After finishing speaking, he handed over a list of weapons and equipment to the independent camp. Gave it to little sister Jiang Zi.

Jiang Xiaomei took a look and handed the list of supplies to Yang Jiong.After reading it, Yang Jiong read excitedly: "

军用电台两部、捷克式轻机枪5挺、歪把子2挺、狙击步枪五支、子弹1000发、汉阳造步枪200支、子弹5万发、骑枪20支、子弹两千发、20响驳壳枪30支、王八盒子十支、子弹各两千发、高爆炸药量五箱、望远镜、指北针、工兵锹各五个、大洋1万块。”

After reading, he said excitedly, "Master Jiu's support for the Independence Camp is really timely and generous."

The soldiers of the Independence Battalion burst into warm applause and cheers.

After the meeting was over, Jiang Xiaomei, Tian Chuan, Yang Jiong and others returned to the battalion headquarters.

Tian Chuan said: "Captain Jiang, oh, Battalion Commander Jiang, I'm used to it, and I can't change my words for a while. Master Jiu also asked me to bring you a gift."

As he spoke, he took out something wrapped in red silk from his backpack and handed it to Xiaomei Jiang.

Jiang Xiaomei said excitedly: "A gift from Brother Nine?"

As she spoke, she put the thing wrapped in red silk on the table and opened it carefully.

What appeared in front of everyone was a Browning pistol.The roasted blue on the body of the gun glowed brilliantly under the sunlight coming in from the window.

"Ah! What a beautiful pistol!" Jiang Xiaomei held the pistol in her hand and played with it fondly. She said excitedly, "Ninth brother is caring."

Yang Jiong and Huang Shuigen were also very envious when they saw the Browning pistol.It's a pity that they don't have the same friendship with Gao Jiu as Jiang Xiaomei and Gao Jiu, they can only envy them.

Jiang Xiaomei played with the pistol for a while, then wrapped it in red silk again and put it in the drawer.She said: "Brother Jiu is back, I'm going to Peach Blossom Mountain to see him."

Tian Chuan said: "This time I'm here, Lord Nine specially asked me to bring invitations, inviting Captain Jiang and Political Commissar Yang to Taohua Mountain.

The fourth head of our Peach Blossom Mountain is going to hold a wedding with Zhao Xuemei, and we specially invite the two of you to attend. "

Jiang Xiaomei said happily: "Xuemei is getting married, okay! Political Commissar Yang and I will definitely go."

Tian Chuan said: "Jiu Ye said, he made arrangements in Wuhan, let you send a man of culture, and go back to Taohuashan with you. Then let him go to Wuhan with our people from Taohuashan to learn news technology."

Huang Shuigen said happily: "Master Jiu really has nothing to say about our independent camp."

Zhiyuan County.

Wang Jindong was wearing a brand-new major general's uniform, which was impressive. Now he has been promoted to deputy division commander and has become a dignified major general of the national army.

At this moment, he was facing the mirror, admiring his image in the major general's uniform.

Chief of Staff Liu complimented: "The general's uniform on the division's seat is really majestic!"

Wang Jindong saw the telegram in his hand and asked, "What did Brother Gao say in the telegram?"

Chief of Staff Liu said: "Gao Jiuye invited us to send people to attend the wedding of their fourth family and study the establishment of a joint defense system in southwestern Shandong."

Wang Jindong said: "Good thing! Being able to form an alliance with Brother Gao to deal with the Japanese makes me feel more at ease."

After Wang Jindong discussed with Chief of Staff Liu, he decided to send Chief of Staff Liu and deputy head Wang Zhankui to Taohua Mountain.

Just when Taohuashan was preparing to hold a wedding ceremony for Du Shengxi and Zhao Xiaomei, the 115th Japanese Infantry Regiment, led by Lieutenant Yazaki Setsan, quietly left Jinan at night.

They were also followed by Yoshito Hamada, head of the Special High Section Intelligence Section of the Japanese Gendarmerie Command in Jinan.

The Japanese army wanted to attack Taohuashan, in order to achieve the suddenness of the action.The Jinan Gendarmerie Headquarters specially mobilized a large number of vehicles, and the Japanese troops marching on Taohuashan all marched in a mechanized manner.

At this time, Taohuashan was decorated with lights and festoons, and was preparing for the wedding of Du Shengxi and Zhao Xuemei, completely unaware that the danger was quietly approaching.
