The political commissar sat at the top, Lao Qin who came from behind sat on one side, and Hu Yi was still standing at the table. The political commissar seemed to have forgotten to let Hu Yi sit.
There were people shaking outside the door, but they didn't dare to come in, and the political commissar didn't tell them to get out.
Ten minutes later, Lao Qin took the initiative to ask the security guards accompanying the political commissar to stand guard. It seemed that what he was going to say next needed to be kept secret.
Ding De looked at the guerrilla leader who had gone out and was a little dazed. After a while, he asked, "Who is this?"
Hu Yi didn't expect the political commissar to suddenly ask this question: "Well, I met her when we were going to the headquarters. She is familiar with the roads in the mountains, so we asked her to lead us. Later, the Japanese kept chasing her and didn't have time to send her back."
"Uh, what's your identity?"
"The guerrilla captain seems to be the person in charge of local work near the headquarters."
"good."
Hu Yi didn't understand what the political commissar meant when he said he was good, whether he did well or whether the guerrilla leader was good.
Ding Deyi was born in the Red Army and had never felt anything before. When he saw the regiment leader and Song Xiaoci having a heated fight a few days ago, his silent heart couldn't help but feel a little loose.
"What are you standing for? Sit down quickly." The political commissar seemed to have just remembered that Hu Yi was still standing and would ask about Su Qing later.
Hu Yi hesitated for a moment and went straight to sit opposite the political commissar.
The political commissar stopped talking, took out a document from his tattered briefcase, and pushed it directly in front of Hu Yi.
Hu Yi raised his head and glanced at the political commissar, then turned his eyes to the document. Taking advantage of the bright light outside, he held the document. It was a meeting record with beautiful handwriting.
After reading it carefully and word by word, he raised his head: "The regiment headquarters is stationed at the wine station, the first company is temporarily stationed? The second company is out of the mountain?"
"Do you have any objections?" The political commissar seemed to have taken a shot.
Hu Yi thought for a while: "No objection, you are personally responsible for the armed work team, isn't it just a battalion-level cadre?"
"Does our independent regiment have battalion-level cadres?"
"Well, that's true."
"Don't think about the promotion of your ninth company to the battalion. There are only about sixty of you now, and you are as strong as a reinforced platoon. I would like to promote you, but you are not living up to your expectations."
Although Hu Yi was not a person who wanted to be an official, he knew that it was not easy to get married in the Eighth Route Army. He had to either retire from the army, which was not considered, or he could be promoted to the regiment level. Now it seemed a bit out of reach, and he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Ding De looked a little downcast when he saw Hu Yi: "Don't be discouraged. The Ninth Company plus the militia are now almost enough for one company. Once we enter the plains, it won't be a big problem to pull two more companies."
Hu Yi was a little surprised: "But, the document said that the personnel should be streamlined, can this militia do it?"
"Then it depends on your ability. The targets of the Eighth Route Army's downsizing are mainly agency staff. Some comrades left the combat troops and switched to civilian jobs due to age, injuries and other reasons. Their own cultural level is not enough, they don't like to learn, they don't make progress, and they can't keep up with the army. Depending on the situation, in principle, they can be resettled locally or returned to their place of origin.
However, we need to strengthen the construction of combat troops. The independent regiment now has a large defense area and heavy tasks, but it is an opportunity for development. As for your ninth company, one-third of the personnel are surrendered by the national army. The personnel are complex and the ideological work is more complicated. should be strengthened. "
"Then you don't need to strengthen it yourself, right? What do you mean by the head of the armed working team?" Hu Yi didn't quite understand.
"The reason I came back here is actually to assign tasks to the Ninth Company. You will definitely have many difficulties when you first enter the plains, so several tasks must be combined together.
The headquarters specifically requested all ministries to destroy the Japanese advance team at all costs, and formulated a plan. In addition, they also had to cooperate with underground organizations to prepare for an assassination operation against the Japanese North China Command.
At the same time, expanding the armed forces working in enemy-occupied areas is the focus of the armed work team. Higher authorities will support some personnel to come over and enrich local working forces. "
"The attack on the advance team and the assassination operation don't seem to have much to do with our Ninth Company. After all, we only have so many people. What should we do next?"
"Advance team, haven't you fought two or three times? Now the reputation has spread far and wide, and we are the only one in the division! Now everyone in the division knows that the Ninth Company has given face to our independent regiment."
"No way, it just happened to happen. We didn't fight head-on every time."
"The regiment has studied and decided: Su Qing and Lao Meng will partner up to be responsible for the armed work force. Your Ninth Company will cooperate as a combat force. At the same time, the headquarters secret service group will send people to contact your Ninth Company. As for the female guerrilla captain, by the way, What’s her last name?”
"The surname is Liu." Hu Yi didn't understand why the political commissar suddenly asked about Captain Liu after he was fighting against the advance team.
"The headquarters has suffered a great loss. It is necessary to replenish excellent staff and streamline civilian personnel. One of the tasks of the Ninth Company is to ensure that the traffic lines from here to the east across the blockade and west to the mountains must be smooth, so as to prepare for the independent regiment to enter the plains. Base."
"We have such a small number of people, can't we? The regiment headquarters wants to enter the plains? There are not even ordinary people here, how can we lay the foundation?"
"There is also the second company. Our independent regiment has been nesting in the mountains. We need no men and no guns. So before setting off, we discussed this plan with the regiment leader.
There is a severe drought in the plains this year. According to the information sent by the underground organization to the headquarters, it is estimated that by the end of the year, a large number of people fleeing will enter this area or into the mountains. This is a good opportunity to recruit soldiers. "
"But this place is also suffering from drought, and there is no basis for people to survive. With more people, it is difficult to survive."
"The headquarters requires a large-scale production movement, not only in the mountains, but also in the plains."
"With lack of water and few people, we can't do anything here, so we originally planned to cross the blockade."
"It's a good idea, but the conditions in the plain areas across the blockade are even more difficult. The Japanese have launched a campaign to strengthen public security, so we organized an armed work team, established an anti-Japanese democratic government, and allowed local gentry to participate. Now we mainly rely on mountainous areas for food. Li Youde, one of the Luoye Villages, has a limited output in Qingshan Village. Because of the rivers in Luoye Village and Lushuipu area, crops can still be grown.
One of the focus of Jiulian's next work will be on Li Youde, so that he must accept the refugees no matter what. "
"This shouldn't be a big problem. A few days ago, I received news from Li Youcai. He asked us to take people to fight Li Youde."
"Hit him? Why?"
"In the plain area, there were guerrillas attacking the Japanese and puppet army reconnaissance teams everywhere. Only in his area, the Eighth Route Army did not move, so he was afraid."
"That's interesting. I didn't expect someone to beg us to beat him up."
"He spent 5,000 yuan on military expenses, which may be converted into food."
"Is there such a good thing?"
"I think he is afraid of being suspected of being connected. It is not difficult for us to handle."
"Well, this is something you can consider."
"In addition, there is another problem. Meixian County will also start digging blockade trenches, and the person in charge is Li Youcai."
"Ah? Is he in charge? These two brothers are interesting. What else is there?"
"I didn't say anything else. I just let us think of it ourselves. If we want to get people involved, or if we are caught by the Japanese and are still locked up in the county jail, we can move around."
"You must pay attention. Your superiors have instructions and you must not do business with the enemy!"
"This is not a business, is it? There is no need to bargain, but he just wants to take advantage of us, because we will attack us if we build gun towers or dig blockade trenches. Therefore, he wants to cooperate with us and let us notify him before calling. By the way, he can also kill some hardcore traitors. ”
"It's up to you. Su Qing was originally responsible for the intelligence work of the Independent Regiment. Later, Team Leader Zheng took charge of it himself. I don't know what method he used or who was involved. There is a problem here. Su Qing's current The establishment is still in the military zone, so it’s difficult to handle.”
"Girl has already lent us the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade, and also brought the guerrilla's former base area with us, so I don't think this is a problem."
"Lao Lu told me about this. Our Eighth Route Army has strict discipline, but this matter is still a bit inappropriate. Only your Ninth Company is shameless, and you actually seek benefits from your brother troops. You think no one can control you, right? ?”
"We are an independent regiment, and the Ninth Company is also equivalent to an independent company. Who else cares?"
"You also said that you have no plan. This is one thing after another. Now I, the political commissar, have become an errand boy. I can't make the decision on this matter. You make a plan and I will tell Lao Lu later."
Looking at the morning light outside the window, Hu Yi was silent for a while: "Okay, I won't make any demands on you. The headquarters secret service team wants to deal with the advance team. The Ninth Company will not participate. Let the Second Company do it."
"Company Commander Gao's opinion is very clear. He is responsible for the south of Meixian County, including Xinglong Town, all the way to the eastern blockade, which is further away from the Japanese North China Headquarters. However, he was stingy this time and did not even think about fighting through the blockade. "
"No matter what, our independent group just doesn't have enough people to mess with."
"Hey, don't talk about the personnel. I have nothing to do. I have supplemented your ninth company a few times. Our independent regiment has a problem in fighting. The more severe the battle, the greater our casualties. Every time we fight, there will be The ninth company and the second company have both been beaten to a pulp. It is difficult to recruit soldiers in the mountains. We will take it easy in the future and think of ways to do our work among the incoming refugees. Now we must gather strength to face the difficulties ahead."
After daybreak, the number of people in Hu Yi's small room increased, including all at platoon level and above.
Lao Meng declined for a long time and sat down next to the political commissar. Hu Yi and Lao Qin sat on one side. Su Qing sat on the opposite side by herself. Ma Liang, who was wearing a bandage, and Tian Sanqi sat at the bottom. There was an extra row behind them. , two benches, Li Xiang was sitting alone, tinkering with a file in his hand, and on the bench next to him were Luo Fugui, who was yawning, and Chen Chong, who was sitting upright.
"There are a lot of people in our Jiulian Company. We can't even sit at one table. Let's add an extra table for the next meeting." The political commissar's opening remarks were unexpected.
Hu Yi raised his head and glanced at Su Qing, who was opposite him. Just as Su Qing's eyes were sweeping across him, Hu Yi felt the water in the eyes opposite him not far away.
But that face suddenly became cold, and his eyes became sharp and swept across.
Not satisfied, will change later
