After Chu Yunfei and others left, Chu Yun'er came to Xu Dalong, stood at attention and saluted him very solemnly, and said eloquently: "Sir Xu, Chu Yun, deputy leader of the liaison team assigned to the Mawushan base area by the World War II District Chief's Department I will report to you."
Xu Dalong understood that Chu Yun'er was going to stay in the base area legitimately.
Since Chu Yun'er was doing business, Xu Dalong could only stand at attention and return the gift to her very seriously.
Chu Yun'er took out the letter of introduction from her jacket pocket and handed it to Xu Dalong very solemnly.
After reading the letter of introduction, Xu Dalong confirmed Chu Yun'er's new identity. He said enthusiastically: "Welcome Deputy Team Leader Chu to work in the Mawushan base area."
After finishing the business, Chu Yun'er resumed her affectionate attitude towards Xu Dalong, walked forward, took Xu Dalong's arm again, raised her face and said to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, do you really welcome me here? ?”
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Welcome, of course you are welcome. Miss Chu is coming to the Mawu Mountain base, and she will be very prosperous."
Chu Yun'er said with some annoyance: "You are telling lies. Didn't we make an appointment to exchange telegrams frequently? Why don't you always reply to the telegrams I send you?"
Xu Dalong smiled bitterly and said: "You have also seen how busy I am now. I am so busy all day that my heels hit the back of my head, and my head is so swollen that I can hardly put on my hat."
Chu Yun'er smiled and said, "Brother Dalong, you know how to talk nonsense." After saying that, she continued to hold Xu Dalong's arm affectionately and got into the car.
When Zhao Gang saw this scene, his head suddenly felt dizzy.
He originally didn't want Xu Dalong and Chu Yun'er to get so close. He originally wanted to wait for Chu Yun'er to leave and have a good talk with Xu Dalong, but he didn't expect that Chu Yun'er was sent here by the government and wanted to stay here. The liaison group is also the deputy leader of the liaison group. With this identity, she and Xu Dalong met every day, and Zhao Gang had no choice.
Zhao Gang looked at Lin Xueying with the corner of his eyes, but saw that the expression on Lin Xueying's face was very calm.
Zhao Gang couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He saw that Xu Dalong didn't look embarrassed at all, and he really didn't know what this guy was thinking.
He found that the more he got along with Xu Dalong, the more mysterious he became. He couldn't understand this guy more and more.
After Chu Yun'er came to the Mawushan guerrillas, she became very close to Xu Dalong.
The office of the liaison team sent by the Jinsui Army is in the same small building as the offices of Xu Dalong and others. Recently, Chu Yun'er often goes to Xu Dalong's office, and Chu Yun'er's laughter can often be heard in the office.
Zhao Gang's office was very close to Xu Dalong's office. He didn't know what Xu Dalong and Chu Yun'er were doing in the room. He always felt that the impact of this situation would be bad, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Xu Dalong.
On this day, Zhao Gang heard singing coming from Xu Dalong's office, and of course Chu Yun'er's giggle.
Zhao Gang made up his mind that he must talk to Xu Dalong today.
When he saw Chu Yun'er leaving Xu Dalong's office, he came over to find Xu Dalong.
Zhao Gang is a cautious person, and he will not jump to conclusions before he understands the situation.
But the topic he wanted to talk about today was a bit awkward, and he didn't know where to start. So he drank tea there.
After taking several sips, he finally spoke. He pretended to be casual and asked: "Captain, I heard that your room is very lively, with singing and laughter. What are you talking about?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Let's talk about work."
Zhao Gang didn't believe it at all, and asked with some confusion: "How come you can sing about this job while talking about it?"
Just as Xu Dalong was about to answer him, the door opened and Chu Yun'er came back with a piece of paper in her hand.
When she saw Zhao Gang, she said, "Hello, Sir Zhao."
Zhao Gang nodded politely and said, "Hello, Miss Chu."
Chu Yun'er said to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, I've done everything." Then she handed over the things in her hands.
Xu Dalong took it and turned it over and said, "It's very well written."
Zhao Gang felt a little embarrassed, so he stood up and said, "Captain, Miss Chu, you need to talk in advance." After that, he walked out the door.
Xu Dalong stopped him and said, "Wei Zhao, please don't leave. I have something to see you for."
Zhao Gang asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Why are you in a hurry? Sit down first and let me tell you slowly."
Zhao Gang had no choice but to sit down again.
Although Chu Yun'er is the eldest lady, she has worked in the Jinsui Army for a period of time and has some experience in the workplace and has some discernment. She saw that there was not much tea in Zhao Gang's teacup, so she took the initiative to come over and help him add water.
Not to mention, just such a small gesture increased Zhao Gang's good impression of her.
He said politely: "Miss Laochu is here."
Chu Yun'er nodded and sat aside.
Xu Dalong said: "Commissioner Zheng, didn't you say last time that you would sort out more military songs that could boost morale? I haven't sorted them out before because I only know the tunes but not the music. Miss Chu specializes in music. , she is an expert in this area. We have compiled some songs these days, take a look."
Chu Yun'er was very obedient. She stepped forward and took the manuscript with lyrics and music from Xu Dalong's hand, and gave it to Zhao Gang.
Hearing this, Zhao Gang felt that he had been wronged and felt a little embarrassed. He coughed awkwardly and reached out to take it.
Zhao Gang looked at it and thought the lyrics were well written, but he couldn't read music and didn't know how effective it would be when he sang it. He said: "Captain, can you sing a little? Let me listen."
"The Sword Comes"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Let Miss Chu sing, her voice is like a lark, it sounds so good."
Chu Yuner was not polite and started singing directly.
Chu Yun'er sang classic military songs from later generations that Xu Dalong had plagiarized. The lyrics were powerful and the tunes were lively and exciting, which made people feel very uplifted.
These songs made Zhao Gang's blood boil with excitement. He soon forgot what he was here to do, and started studying together with Xu Dalong and Chu Yun'er.
Zhao Gang said excitedly: "These songs are really good and must be widely promoted among the troops. Not only that, I also have to report these lyrics and music to my superiors. I think all the anti-Japanese armed forces will like them. The soldiers sang like this The song will definitely boost morale and be able to fight Japanese imperialism more effectively."
At this point, he said sincerely: "Thank you, Miss Chu."
Chu Yun'er smiled and said: "Why are you thanking me? These were written by Brother Dalong and sung by him. I just helped him compose the music."
Zhao Gang was very interested in these songs, and immediately called the propaganda section chief of the Independent Brigade and the propaganda section chief of the Mawushan Guerrilla Brigade, and asked them to immediately organize literary and artistic backbones to learn to sing these songs from the brigade captain and Chu Yun'er.
Xu Dalong said to Chu Yun'er: "Miss Chu, I leave the matter of learning to sing to you."
Chu Yun'er winked at Xu Dalong charmingly and said with a smile: "Brother Dalong, don't worry, I promise to teach all of you." After that, she left with those who came to learn singing.
After Chu Yun'er and others left, Zhao Gang was still a little excited.
He said: "Captain, I didn't expect that Miss Chu is really a talent. With her help, we will definitely be able to improve the level of publicity and education in our army."
Xu Dalong said: "Commissioner Zheng, I just want to discuss this with you. I plan to set up a literary and artistic propaganda team in our propaganda department. They will not only sing some anti-Japanese songs, but also rehearse some anti-Japanese-themed plays. Through rich and colorful literary and artistic forms , to improve the effectiveness of anti-Japanese propaganda.”
Zhao Gang said happily: "This is a great idea, leave this matter to me."
Xu Dalong said: "To establish a literary and artistic propaganda team, we need to recruit some female soldiers. Not only that, hospitals and institutions also need some female soldiers. I think we might as well increase the number of female soldiers to enrich the non-combat departments of our army."
Zhao Gang had no objection and said, "I agree. How many people do you plan to recruit?"
Xu Dalong said: "Let's recruit two hundred people for the time being."
Zhao Gang originally had only twenty or thirty places in mind, but he did not expect that Xu Dalong would recruit so many female soldiers at once.
He asked with some surprise: "Captain, apart from hospitals, confidential departments and propaganda teams, how can we use so many female soldiers? Besides, the largest unit here is a brigade, Ma The Wushan guerrillas are still a regiment-level unit, which is inconsistent with the organization of our underground party’s anti-Japanese armed forces.”
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "What's the point? Our Mawushan guerrillas are themselves independent brigade. The independent brigade must have an independent establishment and deal with special tasks. Everything is for the needs of the work. There are not many two hundred female soldiers, and there are many in the base area. There are jobs suitable for female soldiers, such as radio operators, office workers, telephone switchboards, nurses and health workers in hospitals, propagandists for art teams, and other jobs suitable for female soldiers. Speaking of which, 200 people may not be enough. .”
Although Zhao Gang thought what Xu Dalong said made sense, he now felt that Xu Dalong was a bit cunning and things were by no means as simple as he said.
He asked: "Captain, I'm afraid you have other ideas?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Commissioner Zheng, you are still thinking fast. There are many veterans in the Independent Brigade and Guerrilla Brigade, such as Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu, and you, Commissioner Zhao Zheng, are not young anymore, and have already had a family. At his age, he still has no partner.
All of you are heroes and excellent anti-Japanese soldiers. The fact that you haven't found a partner is not because you are incompetent, but because you don't have the environment to interact with women. Is there anything wrong with recruiting more female soldiers and giving everyone a chance to get to know each other? "
Zhao Gang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this won't work. Our army has discipline. If cadres want to get married, they must be in the 25th, 8th, and regiments. Soldiers are not allowed to fall in love and get married."
25. 8, regiment means that the army cadres must be 25 years old, have eight years of military service, and be a regiment cadre. Such marriage conditions are very strict.
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Commissioner Zheng, are you not okay? According to this standard, you are probably the only one in our Mawushan base who can meet the standard. You can't let everyone be single, right?"
Zhao Gang said: "I'm afraid this won't work. Why doesn't the army allow soldiers to fall in love? There are lessons learned from this. It's easy to go wrong and it will affect the combat effectiveness of the army."
Xu Dalong said: "That's not necessarily the case, it depends on how we educate and guide. If we do a good job in publicity, education and ideological governance, and the male and female soldiers are like-minded and fight against Japan together, it will not only not affect the combat effectiveness, but also inspire people to be more Great anti-Japanese enthusiasm. Whether this problem can be solved depends on how you, Commissioner Zhao Zheng, do your work. Besides, the war will end sooner or later, and in peacetime, everyone will live a normal life."
Seeing that Zhao Gang was still hesitating, Xu Dalong said: "This matter is settled. I will be responsible for whatever goes wrong."
Hearing this, Zhao Gang said unhappily: "Captain, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on people? We are partners, and if there is a problem, we are jointly responsible."
Hearing Zhao Gang say this, Xu Dalong knew that Zhao Gang had agreed.
He smiled and said: "You are really my good Commissioner Zheng, I will leave this matter to you."
Since the issue of marriage and love was discussed, Zhao Gang had something to say to Xu Dalong, so he took the opportunity to say: "Captain, you are not young now. How do you consider the issue of marriage and love?"
Zhao Gang has never been able to figure out what kind of relationship Xu Dalong has with Lin Xueying and Chu Yun'er. He is very worried that Xu Dalong will cause trouble if he cannot handle the relationship well.
As a Zheng committee member, he mainly focuses on Zheng Zhi's ideological work. Of course, the most important person he has to work with is Xu Dalong. Xu Dalong is the soul of the Mawushan base. If there is a problem with him, the loss will be too great. Therefore, if Xu Dalong's personal affairs are unclear, he, Commissioner Zheng, will not be able to sleep well.
Xu Dalong pretended to be Hutu and said: "Nowadays, the battle is so tense and there are so many things. I haven't considered the issue of marriage and love yet."
Zhao Gang saw Xu Dalong playing tricks on him, and he said seriously: "Captain, let me tell you directly, what is the relationship between you, Director Lin and Miss Chu?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "It's a relationship between comrades fighting against Japan. Okay, Zhao Zhengwei, don't worry about my affairs. By the way, I was just about to ask you. Are you almost 30 years old this year? Tell me Do you have a partner? If not, I will introduce you to one."
Zhao Gang felt that Xu Dalong wanted to change the subject, and was about to continue asking Xu Dalong about his relationship with Lin Xueying and Chu Yun'er, but Xu Dalong said first: "Commissioner Zhao Zheng, you are the only person in our Mawushan base who meets the marriage requirements. , you must take the lead in this regard and find a partner to get married. You can't let everyone find a partner because of you."
