Had breakfast.
Zhennan Military Camp.
On the playground, commands to turn left and right and stand still and walk in unison came one after another.
And the newly appointed monitors yelled and cursed.
Some of the bandit soldiers were standing on the playground in the sun with their guns in hand, practicing their aim.
Captain Yang and Liu Yuanqingzheng led the squad leaders to teach the bandit soldiers how to dismantle the guns and reassemble them.
Watching Madman Yang mix all the parts of the rifle, rifle, scull, and machine gun into a pile, wipe the parts clean with a gun cloth, and then quickly assemble them, the new bandit soldiers who joined the secret service camp were stunned.
These days, what’s more important than learning a craft?
In their view, it is completely normal for a gun to jam due to dust and bullets.
And if the gun in your hand fails to fire at the critical moment, you may die as a result.
The bandit soldiers seemed to have forgotten that the company commander had just died.
Therefore, when Madman Yang confessed that he should cherish his gun as he cherishes his wife, the bandit soldiers all had their own ideas: "Then we can wrap the gun with cloth to prevent dust from entering."
Liu Yuanqing explained from the side: "If there is an emergency, do you have to take off the gun wrap before shooting?"
"I have seen the imperial army wrap their guns with cloth strips."
When he heard the word "Imperial Army", Madman Yang, who was assembling a light machine gun, stopped for a moment.
Only precision shooters would wrap cloth strips around rifles equipped with scopes to camouflage them, but on the plains, there was little point in doing so.
Madman Yang went to maintain his gun while Liu Yuanqing explained.
The bandit soldiers began to dismantle their rifles and use prods to remove gunpowder residue from the barrels.
Liu Yuanqing instructed the bandits who had mixed with the Eighth Route Fighters one by one to clean all the parts and oil the moving parts such as the bolt trigger.
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of various guns.
Since the identity of the Eighth Route Army cannot be revealed for the time being, the ideological study item is directly cancelled.
After lunch, part of the Jiuying camp who had been busy all night yesterday went to bed.
It's very simple. If they have nothing to do, the first thought of the bandits is to play dice and Pai Gow.
I have just received another salary payment, and the money is jumping in my pocket. If I don't pay it out or double it, I will feel panicked.
Crazy Yang, Luo Fugui and Li Xiang continued their work with the bandits.
It's not enough to just stay in the military camp. These over-energetic bandit soldiers must be mobilized.
It's not enough to just let them train in formation, the bandit soldiers won't be able to endure that hardship.
So the jujube forest became the best training place.
The training content is also something that the bandits cannot refuse: live ammunition shooting.
The Japanese basically don't care about the autonomous army, as long as they are obedient and participate in the spring, summer and autumn raids to capture and kill anti-Japanese elements.
For economic activities within the autonomous region, the Japanese sent an economic team to collect money and grain on time and did not care about anything else.
For autonomous army training and firing live ammunition, why bother to deal with such nonsense.
Anyway, you got the bullet yourself
Huilong is a big town.
Administrative divisions themselves are complex.
A typical town includes a large area of land outside the town.
But Huilong is different.
The northeastern part of the town belongs to Daming County of Hebei Province and was originally occupied by Li Chenghua.
The northwest belongs to Linzhang County and was originally under the jurisdiction of Cheng Daohe.
The southwest belongs to An County, Henan Province, which was originally the birthplace of Wang Ziquan. Later, his nephew Wang Jingchang was stationed and an autonomous military area was established. Wang Ziquan's uncle and nephew were the first to be excluded.
Most of the southeastern part belongs to Huang County in Henan Province, which was originally occupied by Cheng Ximeng, Cheng Qian and his sons.
In the southeast of the town, there is an enclave called Kaizhou
The meaning of enclave is that no one cares, no one can control it.
Therefore, it is known as "two provinces, four counties plus one state".
After the Japanese established the Autonomous Army, they then required all ministries to rotate defenses in order to cut off the foundation of the autonomous army of various puppet armies, so that they could only listen to the Japanese's command.
The special environment creates an abnormally prosperous environment.
The commerce in the town is still partly controlled by the various autonomous grassroots commanders, and a balance is maintained on the surface.
The Cheng Haibo regiment of the first brigade can be said to be a complete ragtag group, and it didn't take long to switch defenses to Huilong Town.
Perhaps because of some rumors, Wang Ziquan, who was first excluded last year, plans to make a comeback. Xu Jinsen and Guo Qing also want to join in.
Huilong is similar to Neihuang County, with all kinds of supplies available.
It is also different from Neihuang, which is equivalent to just a transfer station.
Ready-to-wear store.
The commander of the first battalion under Commander Cheng, the first company commander of the second battalion, Hu Yi, and Su Qing sat together for a meeting.
The First Battalion had the foundation laid earlier, and its reorganization was going smoothly. The next target was the Second Battalion.
Cheng Haibo pointed to the list of personnel of the Second Battalion on the table: "The situation of the Second Battalion is more complicated. The battalion commander Wang Chenglong and the brigade commander were Gao Shi's classmates. They joined the National Army's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force in their early years and were not of the same mind as us.
In order to prevent him from defecting, the brigade commander arranged for his cousin Li Chengzhi to be the first company commander of the second battalion, but most of his men were Wang Chenglong's men, and the second company commander was Wang Chenglong's younger brother Wang Chenghu."
Hu Yi said with a black line: "In other words, if something really happened, you wouldn't order the second battalion to move at all?"
Cheng Haibo nodded: "Wang Chenglong only recognizes the brigade commander, but the brigade commander went to the HD Japs headquarters for a meeting some time ago and has not come back yet, so people's hearts have been unstable."
Su Qing next to him suddenly asked: "Can you tell me the specific situation of the Second Regiment?"
"The commander of the second regiment, Shi Jianye, was originally defeated by the national army. He was not in the same pot as us. He was very close to deputy commander Cheng Ximeng.
What happened to Cheng Ximeng?
"This old guy is known as the old commander. He has been a bandit since the end of the Qing Dynasty. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, he established an anti-Japanese team in Huilong Town. After the Japanese invaded, he openly surrendered to the Japanese and let his son Cheng Qian continue to be a bandit. They are all human beings. , otherwise the situation in the Central Plains is so complicated, and he would not be able to stay firmly rooted in this area."
Hu Yi thought for a while: "Can we get rid of these bandit leaders directly?"
"Now everyone is suspicious of each other and wary of each other. It has been almost a year since the establishment of the Autonomous Army and I have never seen him." Cheng Haibo paused here: "The Japanese are not stupid either. They are in various towns. Intelligence agents have been arranged in all the cities. The world is not black and white. It is intricately connected. In many families, the eldest son becomes a puppet soldier, the second son joins the national army, the third son joins the Eighth Route Army, and the fourth son may be a bandit. Who knows which son? Or my daughter may even join the military."
Su Qing nodded: "I understand what you mean, that is, if we attack a certain person, will the entire relationship network be touched?"
"That's pretty much it!"
Su Qing frowned: "On the surface, family power can stabilize local security, but when it develops to a certain extent, it will become a vampire over ordinary people."
Hu Yi nodded: "Then I understand. The purpose of their doing this is that no matter who takes over this place in the end, there are people in their family."
They were all named Cheng. Cheng Haibo was also related to Cheng Ximeng and Cheng Daohe, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just smiled awkwardly and said: "Captain Su is still good. Just these two sentences go straight to the fundamentals."
Hu Yi changed the subject: "You just said that Brigadier Li went to Handeng, but you didn't send anyone to contact him?"
Cheng Haibo's face turned very ugly: "This matter is very strange. Captain Yang of the division was still here at the time. He advised him not to go, saying that it was probably a Japanese conspiracy."
Su Qing asked: "Then why did you go there again?"
Cheng Haibo smiled bitterly: "The Japanese have given an order. If they don't go, they will have to pull up the troops anyway. However, the reorganization of our two regiments has not been completed. We may not even be able to take away the people, and we will also lose this material distribution center."
Su Qing's expression changed: "In other words, Huilong Town is not completely in our hands?"
"It's probably more complicated than you think."
Monkey rode his bicycle and hurried into the clothing store: "Report to Captain Su that the column is urgent."
Su Qing unfolded a piece of paper folded to the size of a fingernail and checked the secret note on it: "Brigadier Li was imprisoned in Handeng Prison by the Japanese for being on the Eighth Route Army. Our superiors asked us to arrange for people to cooperate in the rescue."
Cheng Haibo immediately stood up: "Guard, notify the secret service battalion to assemble urgently."
Hu Yi, who was sitting aside, finally understood at this time.
The ninth battalion assisted Commander Cheng in reorganizing, which was more complicated than he had previously guessed.
I didn't pay attention when I was writing, there is a little conflict in time, please don't go into detail.
