Sword of Death Camp

Chapter 142 White Morel Towel

what?
As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official, but none of the three battalion commanders present, the commander of the cavalry company, Sun Desheng, and the deputy commander Sun Tiansheng did not expect that the first fire of the new political commissar Zhao's first day in office would be To the head of the body.

Even Sun Tiansheng didn't expect that the fire would be transferred from the insignificant prisoner-of-war engineering team to a big problem.

If you insist on counting the weight of the problem, then the weight of the two mines is big enough, right?
Moreover, this is not an ordinary mine, it is not iron ore, copper ore, etc., but directly sulfur ore and saltpeter mines that can produce black powder, and they are all very easy to produce and mine, surface mines .

Although the storage capacity is not large, it is not small either.

Therefore, if the other party wanted to hold on to this issue when they first arrived, although Chen Shanhe would not have any responsibility in the end, he would shed a layer of skin and let the new political commissar firmly grasp the power in his own hands.

Sun Tiansheng used to be a person who accompanied the prince to study, and he knew a thing or two about this method of fighting for power and profit.

But he didn't expect to face this kind of thing when he came to the Eighth Route Army after leaving his position as the commander of the inner guard company.

Both the cavalry company commander Sun Desheng and the third battalion commander guessed that the political commissar was going to take the regimental commander's knife, but they couldn't help it.

They can't talk about this kind of thing.

It's useless to worry!
However, their usual trust and conviction in Chen Shanhe quickly calmed them down.

Perhaps for someone else, someone sent from above could seize power, but it is impossible for Chen Shanhe.

So they calmed down to see how Chen Shanhe handled or responded to Zhao Gang's questioning from political commissar Zhao.

Chen Shanhe went over with a smile, and put his hands on Zhao Gang's shoulders. They were about the same height, maybe Chen Shanhe was a little taller, so they were put together like this, and soon became a shoulder-to-shoulder look.

"My Political Commissar Zhao, come here, let's enter the room first, since you have asked, I will explain everything to you clearly!"

After speaking, he dragged Zhao Gang into the house, and before entering the house, he turned his head and looked at the commander of the third battalion: "Go and call the captain of the prisoner-of-war engineering team here, and let our political commissar Zhao meet!"

"Yes!" The third battalion commander took the order and left.

Although Zhao Gang was dragged into the room by Chen Shanhe, a little dissatisfied, he just wanted to break free, but found that his shoulders seemed to be clamped by steel pliers, and then he was pushed forward smoothly and forcefully as if being pushed by a car.

Even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't resist, Chen Shanhe's strength was evident.

Sun Tiansheng quickly poured water for the two of them, and Chen Shanhe waved his hands and said, "We're not new sons-in-law and Commissar Zhao, so we don't need you to greet us.

You hurried to check and check whether the tunnels in each village have been completed, whether they can advance or retreat, advance or attack, and retreat or defend.

You know, this is related to whether we can have a stable base in the future!
Tunnel warfare, this method of warfare has existed since ancient times, but it has always been used for sneak attacks. It is really used to fight against enemies that are several times or even 10 times larger than yourself and use it as a base area. No one dares to say number one when we say it second!
Therefore, this method of warfare is very advantageous in the early stage, but the premise is that the tunnel we dug must be qualified first, and it cannot be collapsed by the enemy's two cannonballs on the ground!
The tunnel projects you supervise in Daliu Town must have two points, the first is safety, and the second is convenience for combat! "

Sun Tiansheng nodded: "Yes, Captain!"

Zhao Gang didn't keep Deputy Head Sun either. After Deputy Head Sun went out, the Third Battalion Commander soon brought a dirty man with him.

He must have galloped here from the mine, because although he was dirty, the dust from the mine had been blown clean except for his clothes.

"Captain Erbu of the prisoner-of-war engineering team, report to the team leader, please give instructions!"

Erbu wasn't tall, but he looked quite thick, and he was a good material for work.

"Erbu, this is the new political commissar of our regiment. I heard that our regiment has a prisoner-of-war engineering team, so I want to know more about it.

You can answer whatever the political commissar asks you, and don't hide anything! "

Chen Shanhe smiled and said something to Er Bu.

Then, he looked at Political Commissar Zhao Gang Zhao who had been staring at him since Erbu came in.

"Political Commissar Zhao, this is the person in charge of the prisoner-of-war engineering team. If you have anything to ask or want to know, you can ask him."

Erbu heard that the well-written man in front of him was the political commissar, so he quickly saluted Zhao Gang again.

"Good morning, political commissar!"

Zhao Gang stood up and saluted: "You are the captain of the prisoner-of-war engineering team, and your name is Erbu?

Why does this name feel a bit weird?

Come, come, sit down, sit down! "

Erbu looked at the mineral powder all over his body and said, "Forget it, it's quite dirty!
As for the name, the ancestor's surname is two, what can I do?
Political commissar, if you have anything to say, hurry up, I have to go back to the mine and produce a few more tons of ore! "

Zhao Gang nodded with a smile: "Indeed, I just didn't expect for a moment that there is really a person with the surname Er!
"Since you, the captain of the prisoner-of-war engineering team, have said so, then I want to know more about it.

How many people are there in your engineering team?
Do you usually work hard?
Were you ill-treated during your captivity..."

Erbu waved his hand: "Okay, I know what you want to ask!

Our engineering team originally only had more than 200 people. Later, after several battles with the Second Independent Regiment, we captured several groups of puppet troops like us who gave their lives to the devils. The current number is 562, which can barely be said to be the strength of a battalion. !
To be honest, no one has asked us this question before, is it suffering?
In fact, we worked our lives for the devils. We used to farm the land at home. It’s not that we want to give our lives to the devils, but that we can’t do without.

The devil wants to smoke!
The most important thing is that we have no land, and the land owned by the landlords has been confiscated by the devils for reclamation. Even if we want to grow the land, we have no land to grow.

In order to survive, he had to work for the devils, earning four or five yuan a month.

In fact, the devils gave a lot, everyone got six or seven yuan, but the Shangguan deducted a little, and we usually got three or four or four or five yuan in our hands.

We worked our lives for the devils, that is, to earn a living, so that the family members would not starve to death!
Later, after being captured by the head of the regiment, the head of the regiment did not kill us, nor let us go, but organized all our captured puppet troops into an engineering team.

Work!

I remember that at the beginning, there was no wages, and I worked without wages. I should have worked for two months!

Then one day, Director Guo, the logistics director, actually paid us wages!
Although not much, each person is only two oceans.

But this is our actual labor in exchange for remuneration, less or less, but there is!
And you don't have to work for the devils, you don't have to go to the battlefield to fight, just go to the fields to work!

I heard that the biggest officer in the Eighth Route Army only pays 5 yuan a month. We work here and pay back the wages for food and housing.

What is there to be dissatisfied with! "

Having said that, Erbu paused, looked at Chen Shanhe with anticipation on his face: "Leader, it is agreed to transfer our family from the enemy-occupied area to the base area, when will this matter be implemented?
But it has been agreed to divide the land. There are 8 people in my family, and each person has 5 mu of land. The 8 people have at least 30 mu of land! "

Zhao Gang couldn't stand the Erbu's counting, so he couldn't help but reminded: "Each 8 mu of land for 5 people is 40 mu of land, not 30 mu!"

And Chen Shanhe also said with a smile: "Now we have a surplus of land in the base area, and the family members who came early can get about 10 mu of land per person, but there is a high probability that it will not be cultivated land, newly opened.

And you guys drove it! "

After asking a few more questions, I finally understood the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Zhao Gang also understood what the captain of the prisoner-of-war engineering team was thinking.

When they were in the area occupied by the devils, their family had no land, including before the devils came, they also had no land, and lived by renting and planting the land of the landlords.

After being captured, Chen Shanhe formed all the captured puppet troops into engineering teams to work, and there were wages for the work. Although it seemed that two yuan was not much, could a farmer earn two yuan a month?Can't earn it.

To serve as a soldier to earn military pay, you can only earn four or five yuan, which is to fight with your life hanging on your belt.

The most important thing is that Chen Shanhe told them that if they worked hard and had good grades at work, the unit called the Death Battalion at that time would enter the enemy's war zone, take their relatives to the base area one by one, and distribute them to them. land.

The words of distributing the land directly penetrated into the hearts of these prisoners, and penetrated into the deepest part of their hearts, directly into the desire of these prisoners of war.

In recent years, someone has distributed land to them, and the distribution is based on the size of the family. The most important thing is that this base will not be turbulent.

Especially after a devil's brigade came to besiege and left in failure, Erbu and the other prisoners of war saw the strength of this base.

At the very least, they were more willing to believe that where Chen Shanhe was located, the base area where Chen Shanhe was located was inaccessible to the Japanese army.

If the Japanese army can't attack, the land they distribute will not be at risk. This is the biggest reason why they want their families to be taken to the base area.

This is why Erbu, the captain of the prisoner-of-war engineering team, couldn't wait to answer Zhao Gang's question, and then rushed back to work, because the order in which they picked up their families was based on their contributions.

After knowing all this, even Zhao Gang had to admire Chen Shanhe's arrangement.

After seeing Erbu off, Zhao Gang couldn't help but asked Chen Shanhe, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pick someone up?"

Chen Shanhe smiled: "Our regiment has a reconnaissance battalion, and I am currently training them so that they can enter the hinterland of the enemy's battle zone more smoothly.

Using the task of picking up the families of these prisoners of war will train them so that they will grow up and be able to perform some of the more difficult tasks later.

Now we have prisoners of war, five to 600 people, all of whom have undergone training by the Japanese army. They are not the group of former Central Army soldiers who had just surrendered to the Japanese army and turned into the puppet army that I took in when I was in the tiger cottage.

Rather, it was true that he was summoned by the Japanese army in the enemy theater and received training and training from the Japanese army.

The little devils trained them to be loyal to the Japanese army and trained them in military skills for combat.

I understand that they are all our countrymen, so I captured them. If it was the Japanese army, it would fall into my hands, and there would never be any prisoners.

But now that they have been captured, it is impossible to let them eat here, and it is impossible to let them go back.

In addition, I didn't have enough manpower at that time, whether it was digging tunnels or building various fortifications, I didn't have enough manpower, so I had to use them.

After the construction, for example, after the tunnel is dug, it is even more impossible for me to let them go, because they know everything under our tunnel.

This is a matter of our life and death.

But just because the little devils have been trained, they are loyal to the Japanese army and have trained their military skills, so it is impossible for me to completely trust them and recruit them into my own team.

The only way to do this is to allocate land to them and bring their family members in. With family members, their credibility will be even higher.

In addition, the ones you are worried about, whether we will abuse them, you should be able to see just now that we have not abused them, but we only ask them to work, and if they do not work, they will have no food, it is that simple.

After all, there is no free lunch in this world, are you right?

My Political Commissar Zhao! "

Zhao Gang nodded: "Mr. Chen, you obviously convinced me!

Well, the matter of the prisoners of war engineering team has been exposed.

But there are two mines in the base area of ​​the Second Independent Regiment, why didn't this kind of thing be reported? "

Chen Shanhe smiled, and then poured a bowl of water for Zhao Gang: "Commissioner Zhao, you should have read my files and materials at the headquarters before you came.

You should know that it has not been five days since the order from the headquarters to let me expand the number reached me, and my previous death camp has nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, the headquarters appointed me as the head of the group, and it was clearly stated in the document that I expanded.

My Second Independent Regiment is apparently under the command of the brigade commander, but in fact it is still under my control.

Because my identity is unknown, although I have always insisted that I was born in the Eighth Route Army, my lost memory, from 32 to 39, is gone.

Moreover, there is no information about me in the materials of the Eighth Route Army.

It would be fine if I was an ordinary person, but my fighting power is too strong. If I am willing and not afraid of my own casualties, I can even sneak attack any command post!

Therefore, although the headquarters has incorporated my death camp, it will not give me much trust.

Although I am nominally the Second Independent Regiment under the command of the brigade commander, I also sent you to be my political commissar.

But before you came, you should have been ordered. Your first task is to do ideological work for the whole regiment and pull me to learn.

Instead of thinking about getting the command right as soon as you come, am I right?

Because of my uncertainty, my regiment is nominally the second independent regiment, but in fact it is a real independent regiment.

The headquarters doesn't care about me, but looking at my words and deeds, I may even be a little vigilant!
Because of this, all matters in the base area of ​​our regiment are basically decided by ourselves.

That's why I didn't report the two mines in our regiment's base area.

With this explanation, you should be able to understand! "

Only then did Zhao Gang suddenly realize why he was told before he came here not to seize the dominance when he came here, but to adopt the attitude and actions of spring breeze turning into drizzle and sneaking into the night with the wind.

Although Zhao Gang is well-educated and graduated from Yenching University, he is neither stubborn nor rigid. After guarding his own conduct and bottom line, he can get along with his work partners flexibly.

So after listening to Chen Shanhe's words, he suddenly realized and nodded.

"I see. However, you hurt my self-esteem a bit by speaking so bluntly!"

Chen Shanhe smiled.

"Manly man, where are there so many sissy things.

By the way, Political Commissar Zhao, you are a student of Yenching University, is it Huiwen Campus or Tongzhou Campus?

In that place in Peking, fried liver is good!Haggis soup is also good! "

Zhao Gang smiled: "It's in the Huiwen campus, a bit far from Xidan, and I've heard about the Beiping Martial Art Museum, but I haven't had time to go there!
If I had known that I could develop such high-strength skills by learning boxing, I would have gone to the martial arts gym to practice! "

The two started, and the business of the initial stage boasted to each other.

……

Taiyuan.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at the dozen or so middle-aged men in front of him with white sheep belly towels wrapped around their heads, and nodded to a man in the military uniform beside him.

"Now that you're ready, let's get started!"
