chapter 30
"All people have arrived, then I'll say that there are so many things to discuss now."
Xu Xiaoyong coughed and formally talked about some things to discuss.
The area of Xiaoyin Mountain is already a thorough mountainous area. According to past experience, the Japanese army's conventional raid will not enter the mountainous area with complex terrain.
In the mountains, the Japanese could not do it by playing hide-and-seek by mechanized transportation by highways and railways and rapid reinforcements by the troops.
If this advantage is lost, it will be very difficult to replenish logistics and will be frequently attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Once it is surrounded and attacked, it will be a problem to mobilize troops and generals to support it.
The Japanese army, who suffered a lot in the mountains, will not forget such a lesson.
Therefore, Xu Xiaoyong meant that this place was safer, and the copycat left by the bandits was also an ideal place to live.
He suggested that the people of Zhaojiazhuang should be placed here for the time being, and there is no need to walk into the mountains anymore.
Village chief Zhao Jisheng agreed very much and said, "I think it's OK, I can walk dozens of miles less. In addition, the Japanese have left, and we will go back for more than one hundred miles.
And there is no good place to live in the mountains. At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Indeed, it was late autumn, and the cold wind was whizzing in the mountains. People moved into the mountains, at most they looked for some caves and built some simple sheds, and were frozen.
The cold and humid caves and the sheds with air leakage everywhere are no match for this ready-made house. If it weren't for the lack of farmland nearby, I'm afraid anyone would be willing to stay here and live here forever.
Zhao Jingfang, the chairman of the Women's Rescue, also agreed and said: "There are many houses, and you can live in a crowded place. There is no problem in making a fire and cooking. On behalf of women's comrades, I agree with this practice."
"Our militia obeys command." Li Ping'an also expressed his opinion.
Yuan Chenming had nothing to say, and he was slight. Besides, he didn't want to leave anymore. The mountain roads have made him tired these days. It would be better to squeeze into the big pavilion than sleeping in the wilderness.
But when he didn't say anything, Xu Xiaoyong asked him instead: "Xiao Yuan, do you have any objection?"
"I agree if I have no objection." Yuan Chenming answered quickly, and his feelings were different.
I thought it was just an auditor, but now I can be asked for advice. It seems that I am very important.
"That's a unanimous vote."
Xu Xiaoyong said: "In addition, the militia should send more posts to monitor the mountain roads. If the Japanese army's sweeping troops are found, the villagers can adapt to the situation and they really cannot hide in the mountains."
This is an arrangement just in case, and everyone agrees.
The second thing is that after documentary statistics, thirty of the bandits' guns were seized, and thirty of them could be used.
There is no way to contact the superiors now, and they are in danger. Since there is time now, Xu Xiaoyong proposes to expand the militia and use these captured guns to arm the militia.
Of course, it was not his own decision, so he held a meeting to convene these people and discuss it together.
"This is a good thing. I definitely agree with expanding the armed forces to defend the village. My incompetent second son is not young anymore. Let him join the militia first and then join the Eighth Route Army."
Zhao Jisheng is the only party member in the village, and his ideological awareness is naturally extraordinary.
He has three sons. The eldest son is the platoon leader in the first 20th Division. The second son is seventeen after the Chinese New Year. The youngest is still young and is studying.
It is a bit unfeasible for comrades from the Women's Rescue Association to join the militia and arm themselves to defend their hometown. There is a deep-rooted concept that it is impossible for women to carry guns before the men in Zhaojiazhuang are dead.
Zhao Jingfang said on behalf of the women's comrades: "We are the women's rescue association, so we do logistics work. Sew clothes and cook to ensure that the militia have no worries."
It was Li Ping'an's turn to speak, and he said: "There are so many old and young men in the village, so it is definitely okay to find thirty people who are willing to be militias."
That is, it is already very difficult to manage a militia with about ten people. It is really difficult to manage a number of people with about forty people now. Can you find a helper for me? I think it is quite appropriate to have a big show."
"I?"
Yuan Chenming, who has always been a spectator, pointed at himself with a finger to express surprise.
Why is there something wrong with him here?
"I think it's OK. I don't know if our great scholar agrees to be the deputy captain of the militia?" Xu Xiaoyong leaned forward and asked with a smile.
In the previous battle to ambush the bandits, Yuan Chenming's performance was very eye-catching. Although this ambush looked nothing great, it was just a simple throwing grenades and charging to harvest.
But he is like this many small battles that happened on the land of China!
Can you still play with flowers when fighting an ambush?
Calm down when you are about to fight, make full use of the power in your hands, attack your weaknesses, and catch the enemy off guard. I dare not say it is outstanding, but it is definitely excellent.
Those who play the ordinary ambush battle will be named in history books.
In general, Yuan Chenming is more than enough to be the deputy captain of a militia team.
This is also why Li Ping'an proposed to let him serve as the deputy captain.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely agree happily.
But Yuan Chenming is not that kind of person. He doesn’t have the will to be this, so what if he just wants him to be the captain of the militia?
Seeing that he did not agree, Zhao Jisheng thought he was hesitating, perhaps because he was worried about their views.
"Scholar... Comrade, we have seen your abilities and we agree with them very much. If someone in the militia dares to disobey you, you should beat and scold.
If you really can't come to me, I'll deal with them for you. Don't worry, be this deputy captain, we support you."
Zhao Jisheng said very sincerely. As the village chief, he has certain selfishness.
But this selfishness and public intention do not conflict, that is, to keep the children in the village alive as much as possible and protect the village well.
The previous battle was beautiful, and it was just a person who was injured. It was enough to prove how important it is to choose an excellent brain.
In addition, Yuan Chenming was helpless and was purely a foreigner. This identity was also what he valued.
Zhao Jingfang spoke out and Captain Xu followed suit. Yuan Chenming thought about it and finally let it go: "Captain Xu, Team Li, Village Chief, and President Zhao, it is not impossible to be the deputy captain of the militia.
But I had a first say, and when the Japanese raids were repelled, the situation was a little more stable, and I was going to leave. I hope you can find someone who is suitable for me as soon as possible to take over my position."
"It's true." Xu Xiaoyong said in his heart.
When we parted before, Wang Desheng told him specifically that he would do more work and keep people.
It seems that this is a turtle eating a weight - it is determined.
It's not a matter of one day or two to change his opinion.
After the matter was decided, Xu Xiaoyong discussed the resettlement issue with everyone. Before, the bandits robbed the village of food and supplies and returned the remaining supplies, and the remaining supplies must be uniformly allocated.
The existing houses and residences must also be allocated in a unified manner, with more than a thousand people eating, drinking, defecating, and living. The large and small affairs groups discussed for a long time.
The teacher manages the dozens of students in the class and has endless things to deal with every day. What's more, these are more than a thousand adults with different interests, which is enough to make their managers too big.
