Zhao Daman reported to Xu Dalong on the human and military work. Today, the People's Armed Forces Department of the Xingzheng Office has 34 county-level People's Armed Forces Departments, which govern an equal number of county brigades and tens of thousands of basic militiamen. Those semi-off-the-job militiamen, numbering hundreds of thousands, can be said to be an important part of the armed forces of the Mawushan Military Division.
The main content of Zhao Daman's report to Xu Dalong was that due to the rapid expansion of the guerrillas and the continuous establishment of new People's Armed Forces Departments and county brigades, there was a huge gap in cadres. He hopes to establish a full-time military cadre school similar to the special warfare school and health school to train a large number of backbones.
Xu Dalong expressed support for this, saying that he would communicate with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others to prepare a school for people and armed forces cadres as soon as possible.
After Xu Dalong and Zhao Daman finished talking about their work, Lin Xueying and Chuntao had prepared wine and food. The four members of the family ate and chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere.
Today, Zhao Daman and Chuntao couple came over and had a private matter to discuss.
Zhao Daman was a little embarrassed to say that Chuntao and Xu Dalong were very familiar with each other and did not have so many scruples.
She said: "Captain, Xiaoman was the first to follow you to the Mawu Mountain area. He has been working underground and his progress is too slow. Do you think you can transfer him to the combat unit? You can make his progress faster."
Speaking of this, Xu Dalong really felt a little ashamed. Zhao Xiaoman is diligent and conscientious, but Xu Dalong has really neglected him over the years.
Chuntao had wanted to mention this matter to Xu Dalong for a long time. Zhao Daman didn't want to cause trouble to Xu Dalong and had always been against him doing this, so he brought it up today.
Xu Dalong said: "This matter is really my fault. If Zhao Xiaoman could work in the guerrillas back then, he would probably be a battalion-level cadre now. But please rest assured, the organization will not treat those who work hard badly. I agree with your request, let him first go to the special warfare school for a period of training, and then go down to the army and directly serve as company commander. After he has achieved military exploits, he can be promoted to a higher position."
Zhao Daman was very happy and felt a little embarrassed. He said, "Captain, is this making you special? We really don't want to cause you any trouble."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "What's the trouble? Xiaoman is a person who has made meritorious deeds, especially in obtaining the weapons and ammunition from Cuiyun Peak. He played a major role. All these years, I have ignored him and let him I have been wronged. Now, promoting him to the corresponding position is not to make him special, but to maintain fairness. The organization must not treat anyone who has made a contribution badly."
Chuntao said with some pride: "Daman, I'm not talking about you. I have known our captain for so many years, and I know that he is a fair person. It's all your fault that you always blocked me, and I ended up wronging Xiaoman."
At this point, she turned to Xu Dalong and said sincerely: "Captain, Xiaoman will be very happy to hear this news. As my sister-in-law, I will thank you on his behalf."
Xu Dalong said: "Brother Daman, sister-in-law, there is no need to be polite between us. We are close comrades-in-arms and very good friends. From now on, no matter what happens, you can tell me directly. If you don't want to tell me, tell Xue Ying can do it too. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."
In terms of dealing with people, Xu Dalong and Li Yunlong are very similar, that is, they are very protective of their young subordinates. They will take care of their old subordinates in all aspects as much as possible, and they have won the heartfelt support of their subordinates.
That morning, as soon as Xu Dalong went to work, he notified Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Limin, Huang Jingzhong and Zhang Dabiao to hold a meeting to discuss Zhao Daman's preparations to establish the founder's military cadre school.
Nowadays, the Mawushan Military Division rarely recruits new soldiers directly from ordinary young people. It mainly adopts the method of upgrading from militia to county brigade, then to garrison regiment, and then to the main force. This ensures the quality of soldiers and reduces the training time for new recruits. After new recruits enter the army, they can basically directly participate in combat.
Under this premise, the quality requirements for human and military cadres are very high. In the past, the cadres of the people's armed forces were directly promoted from ordinary militiamen or county team members, and their quality was uneven, which also led to the uneven quality of the militia. The quality of human and military cadres needs to be improved urgently.
Everyone believed that it was imperative to establish a school for people-to-people and military cadres. After a heated discussion, they basically determined the guidelines for establishing a school for people-to-people and military cadres, including the scale of the school, the selection of students, and the selection of students. .
When selecting students, it was determined that each unit would select the best and recommend them. Xu Dalong proposed that some students could be selected from local young men and women with high levels of education. These students must pass cultural examinations, reviews, and corresponding physical tests. No one had any objections.
During the discussion, Zhao Gang basically did not speak. He only expressed his agreement at the beginning and then pondered it there.
Everyone has become accustomed to this situation. After all, it is the housekeeper of the base area who worries most about it. It is not an easy task to organize a school. There are so many things to do. It is extremely complicated to choose the address for the school and build a new school building. matters, but also how to allocate funds. It costs a lot of money to create a school.
Nowadays, the Mawushan Military Division already has special warfare schools, health schools, and many public high schools, upper primary schools, and elementary schools. The Xingzheng Office does not collect taxes from the people, so all these funds are raised by the Mawushan Military Division. If a huge new expense is added, Zhao Gang's ribs will be stretched to the point of pain.
When everyone stopped discussing, Zhao Gang said: "I agree with all your suggestions. The establishment of the People's Armed Forces Cadre School is extremely important to the Mawushan Military Division. I will be responsible for the specific matters. Just the funding for running the school depends on It’s yours.”
Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, what are you worrying about? Isn't it just money? In the worst case, we can steal it from the Japanese and puppet troops."
His words represented the voice of everyone. After all, the people sitting here were all military cadres. Except for Xu Dalong, the others had no idea about doing business. In their understanding, there is only one way to solve the problem of funds, which is to seize it from the Japanese and puppet troops.
Zhao Gang didn't find anything new about Li Yunlong's statement.
He still turned his attention to Xu Dalong and asked: "Captain, you proposed the establishment of the People's Armed Forces Cadre School. You must have thought about the source of funds in advance. Can you tell me where the funds for this school come from? "
Everyone knows that when it comes to making money, Xu Dalong has the most and most capable methods. So everyone turned their attention to him.
Xu Dalong said: "This time I agree with the regiment leader's opinion. All the school funds will be paid by the Japanese and the Han. There are two major sources of this money. The first one will come from the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army and the 4th Division of Huang Xiejun. Come on. We can kill the two Japanese divisions in one battle. If we want to clean up the 32nd garrison division and the 4th division of Huang Xiejun, it is not a matter of grasping it. Since we let them go, they should recognize the situation and give it to them. Our Mawushan Military Division pays protection fees. Zhao Zhengwei, please calculate how much money it will cost to run a school for people-to-people and military cadres? Let the Japanese and puppet troops come up with all this money."
After hearing Xu Dalong's words, everyone became excited.
Li Yunlong said: "That's right, after we killed the Japanese 145th and 146th Divisions, we were able to easily deal with the Japanese garrison of the 32nd Division. It was Brother Dalong who stopped you. The little Japanese must lead you to do this. They If they don’t pay the protection fee, we will deal with them immediately.”
Wang Limin originally had a reserved and calm personality. In recent years, he has developed a certain bandit style when he was with Li Yunlong and others.
He said: "I also have a suggestion. There are large enemy-occupied areas around our base area. For any enemy-occupied area bordering our base area, a portion of the protection fee will be stipulated for them on a county basis. Who dares not to pay, or pay Let’s operate on the one who’s slowest first.”
As soon as Wang Limin's words came out, everyone laughed.
Zhang Dabiao said: "This sounds encouraging. There are so many Japanese and puppet troops around our base area, and we just don't know which group to vent our anger on first. Now, let's see which side of the Japanese and puppet troops doesn't open their eyes. , let’s clean up which side first. It also saves us the time to choose.”
Huang Jingzhong had some doubts and said: "What if the Japanese and puppet troops around the base area are obedient and pay the protection fee on time? If we go to attack them then, wouldn't it be a bit dishonest?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "I said, Lao Huang, you are really a fool. Even if the Japanese and puppet soldiers have paid protection fees, we can beat him as much as we want. If necessary, we will wipe them out completely. To Isn't it easy to find excuses? In addition to collecting protection fees, we can also make new demands for them. As long as we are not satisfied, we will beat him directly. If he is not convinced, let him do whatever he wants. Our Eighth Route Army specializes in dealing with all kinds of Japanese and puppet troops. Not convinced."
Huang Jingzhong smiled and said: "You guys look like a group of bandits to me. However, I feel very happy being such a bandit. Now I have no doubts."
Li Yunlong was obviously very interested in this matter and said: "Old Zhao, hurry up, calculate the accounts clearly, and then tell me the total, and I will assign the task of handing over the protection money to the little devils."
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Everyone knows that no matter how much money Zhao Gang said he needed, Li Yunlong would never ask for as much money as Ding Kemao. He would definitely increase his share or even double it based on this amount of money.
Li Yunlong was simply a militant, and he wished that any group of Japanese and puppet soldiers refused to pay so that he could have an excuse to attack them.
When it comes to collecting protection fees from the Japanese and puppet troops, the cadres in Mawushan seem very relaxed because they definitely have the confidence to do so. With the powerful armed forces of the Mawushan Military Division, they could not handle almost any Japanese army.
The Mawushan Military Division has already established many schools. Calculating school funding is very simple for Zhao Gang. He organized a group of accounting staff to calculate the budget for the school and then informed Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong issued an order and sent people to notify the Japanese and puppet troops around the base area. These tasks were specifically handled by the People's Armed Forces Department of the Xingzheng Office. They notified the county brigades in the counties surrounding the base area and asked them to send people to deliver messages to the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops.
The 32nd Japanese garrison division was notified by Zheng Xirong, the reconnaissance section chief of the military division headquarters, and the intelligence station in Yucheng arranged for people to send messages to the 32nd garrison division and Huang Xiejun's 4th division.
Xu Dalong sent a telegram to Wang Shuhuai, asking them to also hand over protection fees, but the money was just for show. They had to synchronize with the 32nd Japanese Garrison Division, otherwise it would arouse Chiba Xunyi's suspicion. Xu Dalong will also compensate them for the funds they handed over. The money will be used to generate sufficient profits from the business jointly operated by both parties.
Yucheng, the Japanese garrison headquarters of the 32nd Division.
The Japanese sentry standing guard at the gate received a letter from a beggar to be forwarded to the division commander.
They did not dare to neglect and quickly forwarded the letter to Qianye Xunyi.
Chiba Xunyi couldn't laugh or cry after reading it. He was very angry and slapped the table and cursed, saying that the Mawushan Military Division was bullying people too much and he would fight them to the end.
After clamoring for a while, he sat feebly on the sofa and called the chief of staff. The two discussed for a long time and finally decided to obediently send the money to others in accordance with the requirements of the Mawushan Military Division.
Qianye Xunyi felt that it was too embarrassing for the Japanese army to intervene in this matter, so he called Yan Guiwu and asked him to try to transfer the money.
Yan Guiwu is a good performer, and he also has a wry smile on his face. He had received a letter from the Mawushan Military Division to collect protection fees, and was about to ask Qianye Xunyi for instructions on what to do.
When Qianye Xun heard that Huang Xiejun's 4th Division also had to pay protection fees, he felt relieved, so that others would not be caught. So he asked Yan Guiwu to send people to hand over the protection money to others.
Since the matter of collecting protection fees from the Japanese and puppet troops around the base area was arranged, Li Yunlong asked Zhao Daman to report the situation to him every day. What he most wanted to hear was not which county's Japanese and puppet troops obediently paid the protection fee, but which county's Japanese and puppet troops had the courage to refuse to pay the protection fee so that he could deal with them. At this time, Li Yunlong was like a child at heart, holding a big killer weapon in his hand and eager to find someone to compare it with.
Not to mention, there are some who are blind among the Japanese and puppet troops. Most of the Japanese and puppet troops obediently paid the protection fees. Although some Japanese and puppet troops in several counties have not yet paid, they promised to think about it and get back to them in a few days. Only the little devils from two counties had itchy skin and refused on the spot.
Li Yunlong was very happy. He immediately mobilized two regiments from the rapid mobile force. Together with the cooperation of the local security regiment and the county brigade, he launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops. He directly eliminated the local Japanese and puppet troops and captured the county seat. , the Japanese and puppet property stolen was countless times more than the protection fees.
Li Yunlong even regrets it now. Why should you collect protection money from others? It would be better to just rob it. (End of chapter)
