march to victory

"Brother Zhang, what about me?"

Gouzi's mentality of joining the army is even more urgent than his younger sister, but his younger sister has a hot temper, and quickly fulfilled his wish under the turmoil.Gouzi has never been talkative, and he doesn't even have the courage to face Zhang Qingshan squarely, so how could he tell Zhang Qingshan his wish.

However, now seeing that his sister had fulfilled his wish so easily, he was in a hurry.

"You want to be in the Eighth Route Army too?"

Gouzi finally plucked up the courage, looked straight at Zhang Qingshan, and nodded his head.

Zhang Qingshan said with a smile: "I have to ask Boss Peng about this."

Gouzi turned his head immediately, so fast that Zhang Qingshan even heard a slight "click" sound coming from his neck.

However, Gouzi still didn't like to talk so much, he just watched, looked with extremely expectant eyes, and waited.

Boss Peng sighed with a wry smile, and said: "One is a gift, and the two are also a gift. The children are all grown up and their wings are stiff. If they want to soar into the blue sky, I, a father, can't stop them. Go! Go! Go! Head Zhang, from now on, these two children will belong to you, please take care of them."

Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, Boss Peng, I will try my best to take care of them."

He said 'as far as possible', not necessarily, Boss Peng obviously understood what he meant, looked at Zhang Qingshan in surprise, then figured it out, nodded, raised his wine bowl to toast... Everyone knows, The battlefield is ruthless, and bullets have no eyes. On the battlefield, who can guarantee that anyone will survive?On the contrary, who wants to pat their chests to ensure that the brother and sister are fine, that is lying, even if they survive the battlefield, what if they are shot in the back?Everything has a contingency.

Therefore, in the face of Zhang Qingshan's frank behavior, Boss Peng can only wish his children all the best in their hearts.

Gouzi's eyes were full of excitement, and his fists were clenched tightly. Although he didn't jump up excitedly like Xiaoyingzi just now, people could feel the excitement in his heart, but his control was very good.To put it bluntly, Xiaoyingzi is an extrovert, and Gouzi is an introvert.

"Since you two are my soldiers, then, the first order I give you two is: immediately go outside to guard, and don't let other ships approach this place."

"Yes!" I don't know if I learned it from Luo Yingjie, Xiaoyingzi immediately stood up and saluted, and Gouzi followed suit.However, judging from their saluting postures, it was quite standard. Obviously, the siblings practiced this a lot in private.

But Boss Peng stopped him and said, "Forget it, they are all from my own family, so there is no need to be so polite. You two go and get the brothers outside to board the boat, and then drive the boat to the middle of the river. This way, everything will be convenient."

That's right, Boss Peng is the boss of this party after all, as long as he stops here, no matter what, he will be surrounded by loyal subordinates.Because the sound insulation effect of the ship is not good, it is inevitable that people who are close will hear it.On the other hand, if you go to the middle of the river, even if there are other boats passing by occasionally, at most you will only hear it... Originally, the boat was not sailing, because firstly, it was not time for everyone to talk about business, and secondly, Zhang Qingshan After all, they are strangers, and they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.But it's different now. My son and daughter have joined the Eighth Route Army, so I naturally want to get closer to the Eighth Route Army. I'm considered half of the Eighth Route Army, so I don't need to worry about this.

Soon, Xiang Tao and the others boarded the boat.

Xiaoyingzi was at the helm, and Gouzi was rowing with a penny.Since Xiang Tao and Zhou Baoyu had no experience of rowing with pennies, they were curious about it, so they helped them row with pennies.And Gouzi obviously wanted to get closer to them, so he was naturally happy to give them advice.

For a while, the laughter outside continued to spread into the cabin.

"Head Zhang, no, now I'm half of the Eighth Route Army, so I should call you head, can't I?"

Zhang Qingshan laughed, and said: "Boss Peng, you have helped our Communist Party a lot these years, why is it only half of it? It should have been our Eighth Route Army long ago."

"That's fine, head, don't call me Boss Peng, I'll live a few years longer than you for nothing, so just ask me to call me Brother Peng."

"Okay, Brother Peng, come on, let me offer you a bowl of wine first, and thank you for your help to our Communist Party."

"Come on, do it!"

This bowl of wine is really finished, and everyone has also drank two or three bowls of wine, so naturally they can't drink like this again, or they will be drunk.

Boss Peng poured wine for the two of them, and asked, "Commander, there is something that has puzzled me for a long time. I shouldn't have asked. Today, while you are happy, I wonder if I can ask?"

"Brother Peng, we are all our own people, what should we ask or not? Just ask."

"Actually, this is not my personal matter. It is a matter of great concern to us, the Eighth Route Army, some wealthy families in this county, and some friends from the rivers and lakes."

Zhang Qingshan ate his food, nodded, and waited for the question.

"Regimental Commander, look, the devils have occupied our Sanqiao County for about a month, and the previous big battle is over. Lao Jiang was defeated. Looking at the posture, Lao Jiang and the others will not be able to fight back for a while... To be honest, Commander, at this stage, people are really panic, because no one knows what will happen next? Especially I don’t know if the little devil will not treat us Chinese as human beings like he did in other places A lot of killing and looting. At this time, our Eighth Route Army came, and everyone was very happy for a while. No matter what happened before, everyone has the word "Chinese" engraved on their foreheads. They have their own people. Naturally, I am happy..."

Speaking of this, he intentionally paused for a moment, glanced at Zhang Qingshan, saw that Zhang Qingshan was smoking and was silent, so he could only continue to say: "However, our Eighth Route Army has been here for half a month, except for recruiting soldiers and buying horses. If I didn’t do it, everyone couldn’t understand it. Some friends knew Yingjie’s identity and my relationship with Yingjie, so they asked me to ask Yingjie what the Eighth Route Army is here for this time? Is it to fight? The devil still has other things, is it permanent or passing by? Commander, I know these are military secrets. I, a commoner, shouldn’t ask around. It’s just that friends keep asking me. They are always worried about this and that. Let me also lose my mind, no, I can't help but have the audacity to ask you. Of course, if you find it inconvenient, just pretend that I didn't ask. "

"There's nothing to say, brother Peng. In fact, if you don't ask, I plan to tell you the truth. Please also tell those compatriots who don't want to be subjugated slaves that our Eighth Route Army will never leave the people. We will definitely stand with the common people. The demands of the common people are our demands, and the enemy of the common people is the mortal enemy of our Eighth Route Army. Our assault regiment came this time to build an anti-Japanese team mainly in Sanqiao County and its surrounding areas. This opportunity is really hard to come by now. Instead of promoting it yourself, it is better to let someone with status like Boss Peng use a mysterious situation to promote it. The effect will be a hundred times better: People are so weird, you can tell them clearly In fact, they still can't believe everything, but if you let people with status among them spread the word among their friends in the form of 'leaking', many people will believe it.

Now, Boss Peng took the initiative to ask about this matter, which happened to be in line with the steps of the assault group to "become famous in one battle". Naturally, this rare opportunity should be seized. It is mentally handicapped.

"Good! Good! Great."

Boss Peng was visibly relieved.

It's normal to think about it: for some people, the effect of permanent residence and passing by is absolutely different.Passing by, that means I can't support them, and more people will think, I support you now, but you leave in a blink of an eye, then I will be unlucky.But the permanent residence is different, that is, it can play the role of backbone and backer for them. In this way, their determination to resist Japan will be greater.

Zhang Qingshan picked up the bowl, took a sip of wine, put down the bowl and said: "Brother Peng, seeing how straightforward you are, today I will reveal the truth to you again."

Boss Peng really pricked up his ears and waited seriously.

"Actually, our assault group came here this time only as a vanguard. A real large force, tens of thousands of people, will come later. At that time, we will establish a large anti-Japanese base area, one by one, mainly in Shaanxi. , in order to unite all conscientious Chinese and all friends who are willing to fight devils, support them, cooperate with them, and drive the little devils out of China..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan intentionally paused for a moment, thinking about it, and felt that what he said might be a bit vague and not clear enough, so he simply made his words clearer: "Brother Peng, in fact, you can tell those who inquired about you Tell them that no matter what our class position was before, no matter what conflicts we had before, no matter what attitude we took toward each other before, even if both of us used to fight each other for our own purposes, but now, In order to fight against the little devils, our Communist Party and the Kuomintang have jointly stipulated that no matter what grievances or hatred everyone had in the past, they will all be written off. However, as long as he becomes a traitor, he is the common enemy of our two parties and all Chinese people, and he must be killed soon.”

"Okay! That's good! As the old saying goes, everyone is brothers behind closed doors. How can outsiders find opportunities to take advantage of it? Now, everyone is united to fight devils. I don't believe it. How long can this little devil be rampant?" .”

As soon as Zhang Qingshan heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say, "You can't say that, the little devils are really powerful. Although they are few in number, their weapons are indeed much stronger than us..." But after thinking about it, at this time, can It is not the time to self-destruct, not only that, but also to cheer up Boss Peng, and then spread it to the ears of some influential people in the local area and surrounding areas through Boss Peng's mouth, which will be more conducive to the future situation of the war of resistance... …
