There is no rainbow after the scorching sun and rain in midsummer.
As far as the eye can see, there are sparkling waves, and pieces of green gauze soil soaked in water emerge from the water, like the reeds in the south of the Yangtze River.
A slightly higher village can be seen in the distance.
It makes people suspect that it is in the middle of the sea or a lake.
Rivers were unable to carry away heavy rainwater in time, causing large areas of waterlogging on the plains.
After a long period of drought, countless people prayed for rain everywhere, but only this flood came.
The turbid Zhang River can only be seen from the floating objects slowly flowing eastward.
The Zhang River enters Wei County from the south of Cheng'an County.
Properly behind enemy lines.
The main job of the armed work teams operating in this area is not to fight against the enemy, but to conduct anti-war propaganda against the puppet troops and at the same time eradicate the heinous traitors.
The anti-Japanese government behind enemy lines worked hard to develop underground organizations, went deep into the grassroots rural areas, and organized young militiamen to join labor force change groups.
The militiamen used fighting to protect mass production, while the labor force teams ensured that production at the militiamen's homes was not affected, and were responsible for the safe transfer of the militiamen's families when the enemy raided them.
Such a combination will help further consolidate the relationship between the militia and labor unions, and facilitate a closer relationship between the militia and the masses.
Simply put, when the militiamen go out to fight, the land in the village is populated.
Moreover, we engage in collective production, so no one’s land will be left vacant.
While the masses were producing, the militiamen were patrolling and standing guard nearby.
Especially during the summer and autumn harvest seasons, labor and armed forces are unified through militia and labor force organizations. The militia is responsible for cover, and the labor force team is responsible for harvesting grain.
When there are no enemies, the militia and the masses help each other, and production, training, and combat tasks are almost guaranteed.
Those who go out are called combat teams, and the work-changing teams that collectively engage in production have another name: production teams!
The work in the fields never seemed to end.
There are exceptions.
Such as now
After heavy rains, the plains were flooded and production was impossible, so the labor force team naturally trained with the militiamen.
Training in the village is in full swing.
Liu Yuanqing looked helpless at first.
I originally thought that the militiamen who received his training only knew that a knife could kill a Japanese enemy face to face, and that a gun could kill a Japanese soldier from a distance.
Because many people cannot "count" more than twenty because a person only has ten fingers and ten toes.
If you ask him what four or four is, he doesn’t know, but he knows three, seven, twenty-one.
I can memorize high-level formulas, but I can only stare at the addition and subtraction of numbers over twenty.
Then he asked the militiamen to talk about their specialties.
His face became serious.
He finally realized that he had underestimated the labor force and the militia.
These "common people" come to the training wearing the best clothes at home.
There is almost no one without patches on their body
Suddenly I remembered a word in the picture book: Elder Liu Pocket.
Shoulder patches, elbow patches, knee patches
As for sleeves, can they be called sleeves if they are lint-free?
Although I don’t know numbers above twenty, I can still explode!
Not only that, when Liu Yuanqing saw a teenage boy deftly making a mine out of a clay pot in front of him, and then burying the mine in the ground, he felt his scalp numb.
A certain blacksmith didn't even light a fire, but kept banging the hammer in his hand, flattening a spike into a small knife!
There are actually people who know how to dig saltpeter ponds to boil saltpeter to make explosives and manually reload bullets.
There are all kinds of earth cannons, earth guns, earth grenades, elm cannons, and rifles!
He always thought that militiamen used hoes to produce, but when encountering Japanese or puppet troops, they gathered together to fight the enemy with guns.
This time he trained these militiamen, and he realized how one-sided his understanding was.
I finally had a deep understanding of two words I had never heard of before: work change team and production team.
The Lunan guerrilla detachment doesn't have many guns, but it has many fucking people.
All the people are soldiers!
The militiamen suppressed their laughter and lined up to count the numbers.
For the first time, a team member who was lying on the ground and statically practicing raising a gun had his head that was subconsciously raised being stepped down.
You can lift two hundred kilograms, you can lift a hundred and ten kilograms, but you can't fucking lift this ten kilogram gun?
I don't understand why the muzzle of the gun keeps shaking.
The militiamen who climbed the wall in groups of three had the most fun. It seemed difficult to climb the wall in the past, but now there are two people on their backs. One person jogs two steps up the wall and sticks his thighs to the back of the wall. He holds his body steady and pulls the comrades behind him up to the top of the wall, and then gets off the wall by himself. He grabbed his comrade's legs, and then pulled the last comrade up.
I finally learned that grabbing clothes doesn't work, nor does clasping fingers work. Instead, I have to use tiger clasps to pull my comrades up the wall!
The three-second wall-mounting method is designed to deal with the Japanese infantry's four-second moving target.
The Eighth Route Army's bayonet fighting skills depended on their special skills. The instructor seemed to think they were pretty good and did not teach them at all. Instead, he taught them how to quickly retrieve the bayonet on the battlefield.
They were also taught that when holding a bayonet, they should keep the bayonet blade backward and the tiger's mouth upward.
Everything seemed very different from previous training.
As for those who played with thunder, they finally saw the advanced tactics shown to everyone by the instructor’s assistant.
Some people who knew how to use a knife or a stick were unconvinced, but they were finally convinced after being beaten black and blue by Li Laosan.
The reconnaissance team outside the village lay in the sun and looked at the vast white water surrounding the village.
I looked back from time to time, feeling very itchy when I heard gunshots coming from the village.
Several militiamen with good eyesight and some education were selected as observers.
The village is not big, and the militiamen standing on the roof are learning how to judge the location of the high points in the village.
Xiao Hongying stood in the village south square.
The militia commanders are being explained how to deploy firepower, how to attack, and how to defend.
The offensive strategy of the trio seems to be different from the previous method of ambushing, pulling out mines, throwing grenades and then charging with three shots.
When she got excited, Xiao Hongying raised her hand and pointed the shell gun at a wooden board hanging more than 30 meters away from the end of the drying area.
boom.
Gunshots fired.
The bullet made another hole in the middle of the half-chest target board with several large and small circles drawn with charcoal pen.
Then Deyi explained: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, there is no need to fight with the Japanese with bayonets, because if we fight with the Japanese with bayonets, the casualty ratio between us and the Japanese will be two to one."
"How can we fight if we don't use bayonets?"
"Shoot with a gun, idiot"
"Our marksmanship is not good. The captain often talks about three points and one line, but the Japanese will not stay still."
"So, look for the gun feel"
"gun?"
"Find the feeling of shooting!" Xiao Hongying waved the shell gun: "You are all veterans, you want to find the feeling I mentioned."
"I can feel it! But every time the bullet hits, I don't know where it will go." A certain civil servant shrank his neck.
"The most important thing is that you must be calm on the battlefield. Think about it. If you are nervous, the enemy will not shoot if it is difficult for him to give birth."
"Only when you are not nervous, your hands will not shake and you can hit the enemy."
A small boat suddenly appeared downstream. The river was flush with the plain, and the people on the boat couldn't see where the original river bank was.
We can only rely on experience to row the boat all the way to the west with bamboo poles.
After reaching a certain location, the boat turned to the south.
There is a village not far to the south.
Perhaps it was known that the river would occasionally flood, so the village was built on a gentle slope slightly higher than the plain land.
I saw someone rowing over.
One of the three-person security team lying down in the north of the village quickly got up and left and ran into the village: "Report, there is a small boat coming from the north, and there are two people on it."
Li Laosan rolled his eyes at the militiaman who came to report the news: "Did you notice whether it was a man or a woman?"
"How old are you?"
"Are they carrying guns?"
"Are you carrying a long gun or a short gun?"
"Are the clothes black or gray?"
"Are you tall or short?"
"Are there any Japanese with bow legs?"
"Are you skilled at rowing?"
"Is there anyone hiding in the boat?
"Is it one of our own or the enemy?"
"If it's the enemy, it's the Japanese, the puppet army, or the reconnaissance team."
"Can you guess how he feels through his movements?"
"They seem to be two men. I didn't see clearly whether they were carrying guns or not." The militiaman looked at Li Laosan with some frustration. The more he spoke, the more he was confused. The weather was very hot and his gray clothes were soaked. He opened his mouth: "I Go back and take another look!”
