march to victory

"Why are they all guns, captured?"

The smile on the second squad leader's face disappeared all of a sudden, replaced by a kind of solemnity.

"Originally, a little devil was injured, and I thought about going to help him, but this guy suddenly drew out his bayonet to stab me while I was approaching, and I accidentally killed him."

The leader of the second platoon nodded: For this kind of die-hards, he felt that Zhang Qingshan's approach was very accurate: Hacking one kills one less evil!

Then, the two of them suddenly lost their ability to talk. After the second platoon leader ordered people to count the casualties and the results of the battle, he walked silently into the barracks.

When Zhao Shanhe saw the second platoon leader, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face and asked, "How are the casualties of comrades?"

"Statistics are in progress." After finishing speaking, he added: "Just finished, everything is being counted."

Zhao Shanhe nodded, then asked with a smile, "How many little devils have you caught?"

Seeing the second platoon leader shaking his head, Zhao Shanhe's face also turned serious: Everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

Because in the past, I only heard that the little devil is powerful in fighting, influenced by Bushido and militarism, he is extremely fearless of death, even if he is injured, he would rather die than surrender, and today he finally saw it.Well-equipped, well-trained, and all veterans, with all these things, future battles will be difficult to fight, and I don’t know how many soldiers and innocent people will have to sacrifice to drive the little devils out of China... Thinking about the future The road is difficult, who has other thoughts?

"It's okay." Zhao Shanhe said with a smile: "Little devils are not afraid of death in war. Could it be that our Eighth Route Army is worse than them? It doesn't matter if our weapons and equipment are not as good as theirs for a while. Think about it. When we first started the revolution, we were poor and useless. The big sword and spear will be on. Now, don’t we have all of them? Don’t worry, the good things of the little devil will be ours sooner or later. Even the quality of individual soldiers, I think, as long as we train hard, we will never be better than Little devils are bad. After all, our ancestors could beat little devils, so why can't we beat little devils..."

While talking, seeing that the second platoon leader was still unable to cheer up, Zhao Shanhe patted him on the shoulder, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "You are a platoon leader after all, and the dozens of comrades below are all looking at you. If you are so listless, what will the comrades below think if they see it? What will the comrades of other companies think if they see it? Those who don’t know think that we have lost the battle... Don’t pretend to be a coward, give me Raise your spirits and set a good example for the comrades below. After all, you are still a platoon leader, not a former soldier. Even's morale. See what I mean?"

The second platoon leader glanced at Zhao Shanhe, nodded solemnly, and said, "Company commander, I understand. Don't worry, I'll go back and do ideological work for the comrades, and I will definitely raise the morale to the highest level."

Of course, he knew better in his heart that the company commander was saving face for himself, otherwise, the company commander who usually cares about face would never be polite to you in such a matter, and would have yelled at you long ago.

"That's right!" Zhao Shanhe nodded with a smile: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"It's those dozens of second devils who followed us to fight devils this time. After seeing how powerful we are, they wanted to join our assault group. Let's help resolve this matter so that they can join us and fight devils without any worries."

Speaking of this, he thought for a while, and continued: "Besides, I think that many people actually want to beat devils, but they dare not move around because of various concerns. If we can help them solve these problems, for It is definitely a good thing for us to fight devils in the future. Besides, I think that we will definitely have to face such people and things in the future, so we must first formulate a solution."

Zhao Shanhe nodded, and said seriously: "The problem you mentioned is indeed a big problem, and if it is not solved well, it will greatly hinder our development path... I will report it to the higher authorities, but do you have any solutions? No?"

"I have nothing to do. However, on the way back, I talked with them, and they came up with three solutions. First, they want to hide their names to fight devils, so that they can not expose their identity in a short time." Their identities don’t implicate their families... It’s just that this method is useful in a short period of time, after a long time, it will definitely be exposed, which will implicate their families. Moreover, I think that this time they are almost equal to being instigated by us collectively. The little devil will know when he checks. At that time, as long as one or two people are exposed, it means that they are all exposed. It will inevitably cause a big impact.

"Secondly, some people hope to move their families to the countryside, especially villages that no one knows. I think this is feasible. After all, communication is not well developed, and the army is in chaos. No one but spies It will be fine. As long as their families are scattered among the villages that support us, I think it will be fine."

"Third, there are a few people whose families are used to doing some small businesses. They hope that we can arrange their families to continue to do business in densely populated places, that is, cities. I think this is also feasible, and the reason is the same as the second one. , as long as they don’t go out much, and they disperse their families in distant places, for example, people from Longfeng County are arranged in a slightly remote place in Tongren County, the chance of exposure is much smaller... and, in this way , we can also arrange some family members from Tongren County to come over, which is equivalent to an exchange, which will greatly help us solve the worries of these people."

Zhao Shanhe said with a smile: "Besides, there are many benefits. For example, you can monitor the movements of the little devil and the second devil for us; when necessary, you can also be our temporary contact point or contact person, right?"

"Yes! That's what I mean."

"However, I think that although the advantages you just mentioned are obvious, the disadvantages are even more obvious, and they are not the safest."

"Company Commander, I don't understand this, and I have to ask you to give me some pointers."

"In terms of advantages, I just said it, but this disadvantage is extremely prominent. You think, the condition they put forward is to take good care of their families. Have you ever thought about it, if one day their family members are caught by a little devil, and they use his family members to persecute them, will they turn against the water? I personally think that this possibility is extremely high. And once they turn against the water, it will cause great harm to us After all, since he joined the Eighth Route Army, he is his own comrade, and everyone treats them equally. In case there are some outstanding ones, they will know some confidential things when they become company commanders and battalion commanders. You can imagine for yourself how passive it will bring us. So, the methods you just mentioned can only be temporary. Because the war is in chaos, the temporary arrangements are so exposed. The chances are very small, but after a long time, it will be uncertain. Besides, as time goes on, they will definitely miss their families, so they can't always go to the enemy's rear to visit their families, right? Moreover, there are only dozens of people, even if they can all It has been arranged, but it can be implemented. It will have to wait until the year of the monkey. If there are dozens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands in the future, how will their families make arrangements? Can’t they all be like this? Otherwise, such a big The scale of the arrangement, it is difficult not to be discovered by the little devils, and it is impossible to solve this big problem once and for all from the root, but it will lead to more big problems."

"Company commander, tell me, what is the safest way?"

"Of course it's a base." Zhao Shanhe said with a slightly smug smile: "Only by establishing our own base can we accommodate more participants and their families, whether it is convenient to visit or go home to take care of their families. More importantly What's more, it is easier to stabilize the morale of the army, and it will also prevent traitors from appearing to the greatest extent. Do you understand?"

With the base area, all the problems mentioned just now are no longer a problem. Everyone understands this, but the question is, how easy is it to establish a base area?

The second platoon leader nodded happily, glanced left and right, saw that no one was paying attention here, he moved closer, and asked in a low voice: "Company commander, when will we formally establish the more land?"

"I don't know that." Speaking of this, he also glanced around, and whispered to the second platoon leader: "However, didn't you realize that, in fact, we are laying the groundwork for the establishment of a base right now? Wait a few minutes The teams that were first sent here for development have completed the regiment system, and when the time comes, the division will connect the territories laid down by our regiments, and it will be the base area?"

"Makes sense."

The second platoon leader clapped his hands excitedly, and was about to speak, when he heard someone behind him ask, "You two are muttering like thieves here. Come on, tell me, which landlord are you planning to visit tonight?" Stealing cattle at home?" The two looked back, only to see Zhang Qingshan walking over with a large group of people smiling, and continued joking as they walked: "The target is well chosen, not only do I agree, but I also count it The last one. But if the target is not selected well and exposed, you two will be shot directly."

"Head, why didn't you say hello when you came here? You scared me."

"I came here a long time ago, no, seeing that you two are discussing in full swing, I don't have the nerve to interrupt your plan." After joking, Zhang Qingshan asked directly: "Okay, no kidding, you guys Are all tasks completed?"

Zhao Shanhe naturally knew what Zhang Qingshan's so-called mission mainly refers to - the radio station.

"It's done." Zhao Shanhe gave the second platoon leader a wink, and the second platoon leader immediately ran to the side and brought some chairs over.After Zhang Qingshan sat down, Zhao Shanhe sat down and said, "However, there was a small accident. There were five radio stations, four of which were successfully seized, and the other one was hit by a bullet and needs to be repaired."

After talking about everything, seeing Zhang Qingshan staring at him, Zhao Shanhe hurriedly explained why the radio station was hit by bullets.

"Well! Generally speaking, this assault company did not disappoint everyone. Although there was a little accident, but in war, how can everything go according to the plan, and a little accident is inevitable. This time, the mission of the assault company On the whole, it was done very well, and I will congratulate you all later.”

With this affirmation, the credit is certain, and the people in the assault company are naturally happy.

But then, Zhang Qingshan's next question made the assault company a little embarrassed...
