march to victory

"Old Hu, slow down, no one will grab you, be careful of choking."

Hu Yingze nodded in agreement with "hmm", but continued to gobble up without slowing down at all.

Zhang Qingshan, who was watching, asked in amazement: "Old Hu, look at how you eat after being reincarnated from starvation. Could it be that in the past half a month you have been outside, no one has entertained you for a few meals?"

Hu Yingze gave him a blank look, and didn't bother to talk to him at all.

After eating, he drank a few sips of water, even burped twice, and said "comfortable", and then said to Zhang Qingshan: "Why is there no big fish and meat? I can say that every meal is big fish for half a month. Big meat."

"Then why are you eating so hard?"

"There's an old saying that 'a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own kennel'. No matter how good the food outside is, it's not as good as the food at home. Don't worry about eating?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded in agreement.

And Hu Yingze continued: "Besides, those village chiefs and Baochang, whether they are sincere or hypocritical, entertain us with big fish and meat, but the problem is that every time I go to a village, they will send People secretly went to investigate the lives of the local people, and it turned out that they all ate bran and swallowed vegetables. Hearing this, you asked me to go to those people who are big fish and meat, pushing cups and changing cups, how can I feel safe? Can I live up to my pledge to join the party? In addition, I am also thinking about the situation at home, so I don’t have the mood to care about food and drink. If it is not for the task, I have to pretend to be false with them, I wish I could grow wings Fly back immediately, who has the heart to lie to them?"

Hearing his long-winded complaints, Zhang Qingshan really felt that Hu Yingze's party principles were really strong, and he couldn't help admiring Hu Yingze.

Zhang Qingshan handed him a cigarette, and after helping him to light a cigarette, he also lit one for himself, and then asked with a smile: "Okay, Lao Hu, don't complain to me like a bitter woman, talk about business, the people outside How is it going?"

"Just two words - chaos and poverty!"

When Hu Yingze said this, he had a wry smile all over his face, which caught Zhang Qingshan's attention.However, without waiting for Zhang Qingshan to ask, he took the initiative to explain.

"Old Zhang, to be honest, although I have a certain understanding of the chaos in Sanqiao County, after I did some on-the-spot investigations, I never expected that the society here is in such chaos and the people are so poor. That's it."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, took two puffs of cigarettes, and continued: "Before, because of the exploitation of the government, the oppression of the local tyrants, and the scourge of the bandits, these three mountains were pressed down together, causing serious harm to the people. Suffering. However, the national government is still a government in name, and it managed to maintain the situation. Now, the national government is gone, the devils have come, and the second devil has established a puppet government, but the people don’t recognize it, let alone the bandits. , even some well-educated and wealthy people don’t recognize it. This way, the previous chaos was aggravated. Up to now, many grassroots people like the former Kuomintang’s security chief don’t know who to listen to , It means to stand on the top of the mountain. So, I went all the way this time, and they actually regarded our Eighth Route Army as a lifesaver, and regarded us as the Kuomintang, thinking that we were sent by the Kuomintang government to continue to oppress the people... …If you don’t believe me, on this journey, wherever I go, someone will give me something and bribe me. I... Heh! Heh! Naturally, I will take all the orders, just to make up for our assault group a little bit. money."

Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile, but did not speak.

"When it comes to poverty, it is really poor. Moreover, the most unfair thing is that the gap between the rich and the poor is too large: the common people eat chaff and swallow vegetables, and just like this, they can't eat a few meals throughout the year. But those rich households have big meals. You say, can this class conflict be deep? Can the society not be in turmoil? Can the common people not rebel?" Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan's brows gradually frowned: "Besides, I also found a big problem. Because the devils There is no time to harm the local people, and the people are so poor that they have nothing. As a result, some people hate the Kuomintang government much more than they hate the little devil. You say...you say, this **** What is it called?"

"Old Hu, Lao Hu, don't get excited, these things will change in the future, you should continue to talk about things."

"Hmm! I know." Hu Yingze took a few more puffs of his cigarette and threw the cigarette butt away. Zhang Qingshan quickly picked up the cigarette on the table, handed him one, and waited.

Hu Yingze took a puff of smoke, exhaled the smoke slowly, and said: "During my investigation, some people came to me and asked if I wanted someone to serve as a soldier? They didn't need to arrest strong men, they took the initiative to participate. At first, I I thought they were enlightened, but I was pissed off when I asked. They were all poor and had no choice but to think that being a soldier would support their families. No! Some people can’t even take care of their families. As long as you have a stutter... Besides, you may not believe me when I tell you. Some people even secretly say that starving to death is death, and being beaten to death in a war is death. The puppet government served as a soldier to eat food. In this way, not only can we eat well, but we can also subsidize the family, and even use the position to make money. I was so angry that I really wanted to kill people. Hey~! Lao Zhang, you say, the society How did it become like this? Why did these people forget the ancient teachings and become traitors to the invaders?"

Zhang Qingshan was very open-minded, and after poking his lips, he said lightly: "What's the matter, if a person is starving to death, what can't be done? Besides, you just said that, because the little devil continues to Driving to the front line, there is no time or opportunity to harm them, so they don't know at all, and the little devils don't regard us Chinese as human beings at all."

"You're right." Hu Yingze nodded and said, "It seems that this propaganda work must not only be carried out on a large scale as soon as possible, but also must be vigorously promoted. We must let everyone understand what the devils have done to us Chinese. All kinds of bad things that are too numerous to record, so as to increase everyone's enthusiasm for fighting devils as soon as possible."

Zhang Qingshan curled his lips again and didn't answer, because he was afraid that if he said his true thoughts, he would be angry with Hu Yingze: No matter how much you publicize now, the effect will not be great. After all, I have never personally experienced the pain of subjugated slaves. , there will be many people who don't believe it, and are content to continue to muddle along.To put it bluntly, after the devils personally show them what it means to be a victor against subjugated slaves, and let them know what it means to be inferior to pigs and dogs, those people will definitely be more vigilant than any propaganda. At that time, you just don’t promote it , There will also be many people who will take the initiative to join the ranks of resistance.Even, as long as you jump out to carry the flag at that time, it will be like throwing Martian characters into a frying pan, which will instantly ignite everyone's enthusiasm for fighting devils... Although these words are crude, they are the truth.

"Old Zhang, that's the general situation I know. Let's talk about the details in the evening. Now, let's talk about your situation."

"My side is relatively smooth. There are 630 five recruits. I evenly distribute them to four battalions. Each battalion has a full company, which is easy to train and fight in the future. Moreover, I also specially selected 20 people formed a mountain forest combat team. According to the high-intensity training volume of our assault company before, let the little hunchback lead them to specialize in mountain forest combat. The training of other recruits has entered the regular stage. In two or three months, basically The training of recruits can be finished. The fortifications were all completed a few days ago. I checked and found that they are all good. In terms of food, there are more than 1 catties of food sent by the guerrillas and Li Jing, and these recruits came to participate At the time, the total amount of food that each carried was more than 3000 two hundred catties, which was enough for us to last for a while..."

Zhang Qingshan said one after another, everything was good, and Hu Yingze calmed down a lot when he heard it, but he also knew that the last words must be a problem.

as predicted.

After Zhang Qingshan talked about a lot of good things about thriving, he changed the subject: "However! There are two situations that deserve our vigilance and urgently need to be resolved."

"Which two situations?"

"The first problem is that I found that many people came to join the army one after another some time ago, but in the past three days, no one came at all. After thinking about it for a long time, I found that there are two reasons for this: the first First, our commando group is not well-known, and it is now a dormant period, so many people don’t know our existence. Second, those who signed up before, I think you should also know, are all guerrillas such as Tuo Laoluo and Li Hua These companies persist in the revolution and vigorously publicize the blessings of the revolution. Otherwise, we may be able to recruit fifty people in the past half a month. And this determines that if we want to continue to expand our strength and continue to recruit troops, we must We must build our reputation. To put it bluntly, we must choose a good time, choose a good location, give the little devil and the second devil a big blow, and let our assault group become famous in one battle."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan frowned slightly, and then continued: "However, in this way, it will attract the attention of the little devil and the second devil, that is to say, we must change the plan we made earlier, from dormant to In order to take the initiative to jump out, confront the little devil face-to-face in advance. In this way, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that we have a good reputation and it is easy to recruit soldiers. The disadvantages are also obvious. The little devil will definitely counterattack crazily and think Get rid of us before we have a firm foothold and lack of strength. At least they will think about forcing us to leave here."

"My personal opinion is to change the previous plan, directly use the banner of our Communist Party, and fight face to face with the little devil!"

After finishing speaking, seeing Zhang Qingshan looking over suspiciously, Hu Yingze explained: "Old Zhang, don't think I was impulsive. Let me tell you, I have thought about this problem many times. You see, we are in difficulties, little The devils are also not stable here. They harm the people, but we help the people. In this way, we will win first if we have the support of the people. Also, our Communist Party must face difficulties, and we must not only think about ourselves. Regardless of the life and death of the people, so no matter what our current strength is, we must stand up bravely for the responsibilities and obligations we should bear. Otherwise, everyone will be in a state of disunity, and the little devils will not be able to defeat them one by one , are all wiped out? So, we must carry this great banner."

"Well said." Zhang Qingshan stood up excitedly...
