The heavens start from Changjin Lake

The old ghost regretted that he should have watched the mountain ghost more, even if he had a quarrel, it would be fine. If it was another team, it might be fine if they captured the villagers, but the opponent was the Red Army. Did he know that the Red Army is a team that represents The people's team, he had heard about this team when he was in the White Army.

The Red Army is making a lot of noise on the South Lake, even a large number of Red Army troops have appeared on the South Lake, and Red Army teams have also appeared in various provinces, but compared with the South Lake, they are still far behind, so the old ghost is not concerned about this matter. Take it to heart, I didn't expect to be met by him today.

And still met in this way.

He asked again: "Are you the Red Army team two years ago? It seems that you have not been wiped out, and you have found a place to develop again."

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "You know quite a lot, people who escaped from the White Army, right? Unfortunately, we are not the Red Army team from two years ago, but a brand new Red Army team."

The old ghost sighed and said: "When I was in the White Army, I heard the red army's vicious name. Many people in the White Army were afraid to fight the Red Army. People in the Red Army don't want money or life, even if there are two heavy guns on the mountain pass Machine guns, those Red Army soldiers with sickles dared to charge forward, I never thought that today I have learned the fighting power of the Red Army.”

Xia Yuan said: "Since you know about our Red Army, it's easy to handle. Ask your people to release our authentic villagers and then order them to disarm and surrender. Since you know about our Red Army, you should know about our Red Army's policies."

The old ghost nodded and said: "When I was in the White Army, I admired your Red Army very much. I am also a farmer, and my parents are also farmers, but they were killed by the warlords who came over. I decided to join the Northern Expedition Army. It's a pity that the current Northern Expeditionary Army has gone bad, they defeated the emperor, but they never wanted to become another emperor in disguise."

He continued: "After hearing about your Red Army, I truly realized that the Red Army is for the people, not for the landlords, nor for the county lords. It's a pity that the positions are different. Many people in the White Army don't want to fight the Red Army. There was an order, we had to fight, and if we didn’t fight, we would be shot. During a scuffle, I escaped and finally got away from that team. Provoked you."

Xia Yuan said, "It's useless to talk so much."

The old ghost nodded and said with a wry smile: "Yes, it's useless to say so much. Don't worry, you are the Red Army. If it was any other army, I would definitely not cooperate with you like this."

Blinking his eyes, he felt that the blurred vision in front of him was much clearer. He turned his head to look at the bandits squatting on the ground in the room, and said, "Don't worry, they won't kill us. This team is different from what we saw before. The white soldiers who arrived were different from the warlords, they were all poor people, and their enemies were landlords, if the eldest brother hadn’t captured the villagers, they wouldn’t have come up the mountain.”

He turned his head again, looked at Xia Yuan, and said, "Everything in the village belongs to you. I know that your Red Army is very poor, but there are not many gold, silver and jewelry in this village except for guns and food."

Xia Yuan was quite surprised to see the other party cooperate so well, but thinking about it, he was right. The other party had stayed in the White Army, knew the Red Army, and knew the Red Army's policies. He definitely didn't want to resist anymore. Resistance meant death, and not resisting. The Red Army can really guarantee that these prisoners can live in peace.

With the help of the old ghost, the next thing is much easier. After a simple bandage, he helped the Red Army persuade the people in the village to put down their guns and come out, and brought Xia Yuan to the cave where the villagers were detained, The people inside were released.

Unexpectedly, more than 20 people came out of the cave. The old ghost explained: "These are some disobedient villages nearby. They didn't pay the food on time. The mountain ghost took people down the mountain to arrest people. After arresting people, they If you are not obedient, the mountain ghost will kill these people and send them to the village to warn the people in the village."

Xia Yuan noticed that among the crowd there were girls with pretty looks and clothes, who looked young, so he asked, "You even catch little girls?"

The old ghost shook his head: "It's not us, it's the mountain ghosts. These people were caught by the mountain ghosts. I'm only responsible for making suggestions. In fact, I don't want to participate in these things, but I have already become a mountain bandit and I can't help myself. "

Xia Yuan had an expression of disbelief, and Shan Gui had no choice but to explain the girl's identity, "This girl is a girl from the master's family in the county seat. She was just captured by Shan Gui yesterday. Since you can find our cottage, you should I have some knowledge of the hills in this area, almost every hill has a group of bandits, but there are only so many villages, and the competition among bandits is extremely fierce."

The old ghost said: "So the mountain ghost thought of a way to arrest the county lord's daughter Shen Qian, and revealed that his daughter was taken away by bandits, but there were too many bandits, and so many bandits came to find her one by one. It’s hard to find, and many bandits are not so easy to mess with.”

A gleam of clarity flashed in Xia Yuan's eyes: "You are planning to use a knife to kill people, and use the county master's knife to get rid of your competitors."

The old ghost nodded: "You'd better throw away this hot potato, you might get burned yourself at some point."

Xia Yuan thought for a while and said, "It is indeed a hot potato."

He first ordered the bandits to release all these people. As for the county lord's daughter, just find a chance to send her back, and try to avoid getting caught up in the fire.

Sun Zhiyong ran over and said, "Company commander, come and have a look."

After Xia Yuan figured out what to do with the county lord's daughter, he followed Sun Zhiyong to a warehouse. The old ghost said, "This is a warehouse for storing food and weapons. All the things we have robbed over the years are here."

Opening the warehouse, bags of grain came into view. In addition to the bags of grain, there were large boxes placed on both sides of the mountain. Sun Zhiyong opened a box excitedly and said, "Company commander, come and see Look, these are guns!"

Xia Yuan glanced, then turned to ask the old ghost.

The old ghost said: "These guns are from a warehouse I took care of during the scuffle. Later, when I went up the mountain, I relied on the supplies from this warehouse to sit on the three chairs on Qishi Mountain."

He sighed again: "It's a pity, isn't the mountain ghost a capable person? He regards these things as precious bumps. No matter how precious things are, they only think about how to store them, not how to use them, and they will become a pile of broken copper." Rotten iron."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be cheaper for me."

With a smile on Xia Yuan's face, he turned his head and said, "Go, ask someone to take the bandits and load these things back to the base area. We will rely on these things for our future development."

Coming out of the warehouse, Xia Yuan felt much better. He rescued people, eliminated bandits, and captured so many guns, which could directly reverse the current situation of the Red Army's lack of weapons and equipment.

The next step is to transport the batches of weapons and food back. As for the villagers, Xia Yuan asked them to release them and go back to each village.For Shen Qian, who is a hot potato, he didn't want it even more. He also asked the villagers of Nianping Village to send the girl to the outskirts of the county at the first time, and let her walk back by herself.

As for the following things, Xia Yuan can't think about them. If the county master really finds them in the future, then he will think about the future things.

A total of more than 120 bandits were captured, and others died in the battle. Half of the 120 people were captured in the house. No soldiers in the second row died, only three soldiers lost their lives. Even a minor injury can be considered a big victory.

Being able to have such a record when participating in the battle for the first time is already very good, and most of it is inseparable from the high-intensity training on weekdays. During the training period, Xia Yuan spared no room to put himself on the battlefield. The experience is told to the soldiers in detail, so that the soldiers who have not been on the battlefield also know how to deal with it when they are on the battlefield and encounter aircraft artillery or enemy heavy machine guns.

The materials in the cottage were pulled by oxen and mules for three days before all the things were pulled back, and the captives temporarily worked with the Red Army soldiers. With the addition of these bandits, the construction of the base area will be faster .

The third row and the fourth row also came back safely. They said that the county was closed during that time. The third row couldn't get out of the county, and the fourth row couldn't get in. I don't know what happened. Fortunately, within two days, it was closed. The door was opened again, and the third row came back without any risk, but did not buy weapons and ammunition.

The leader of the third platoon explained: "The suppression of bandits in Xihankou is in a critical period. The people on the side of the White Army dare not sell them arms. They may come down to open the warehouse at any time. If they see that the warehouse is empty , they can’t eat and walk around.”

The third platoon leader said again: "They told me to wait until the incident in Xihankou is over. Company commander, do we want to reinforce the Red Army in Xihankou?"

Xia Yuan fell into deep thought, before raising his head for a long time and said: "There is no rush for this matter. If we go to support now, not only will it not have any effect, it may even be counterproductive. Only when we are strong can we save the brothers' troops from danger. As for Weapons and equipment, after we wiped out the Qishi Mountain bandits, we have seized a lot of guns and ammunition, enough for us to use for some time."

According to the statistics of the second platoon leader, there were [-] brand-new Hanyang made weapons, five light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and several bullets, enough to equip a reinforced battalion.

So there is no need to worry about weapons and equipment.

Not long after returning from the third and fourth platoons, a platoon of soldiers also came back from Laohe Village that afternoon, accompanied by dozens of peasants who wanted to join the Red Army, as well as captured bandits and Red Army soldiers from the base area. Soldiers have broken through 300 people.

And in the next few days will usher in a strong place.

Peasant associations have been established in various villages of Nianping Village one after another, and the fruits of victory are ready to be harvested.

On the third day when the three platoons came back one after another, a meeting was held in the base area. First, the bandits in Qishi Mountain were tried. Executed by shooting, these bandits are not much different from landlords, and more people who are arrested are tortured to death.

Among the bandits captured, the one who has some status and survived is the old ghost. The way he entered the mountain was not to hand over his head, but to give the bandits a warehouse of weapons and equipment, and he did not do too many bad things in the mountains. If you want to say something bad, it may be to make suggestions for the mountain ghost and the ghost, so when trying the old ghost, Xia Yuan thought twice, considering the injury of the old ghost, he was imprisoned, and he worked with the Red Army. Manifest to wash away the sins of the body.

Some bandits who do less evil will end up in the same way as old ghosts, and they need to reform themselves through labor.

Xia Yuan was also very tolerant of the remaining bandits. During the period of capturing them, Xia Yuan organized the Red Army cadres to do ideological work on the bandits, took them down the mountain to work in the village, and let them see the happy life that the Red Army brought to the farmers. Let them understand the policies of the Red Army, change the image of the Red Army in their eyes, and so on.

Under the influence of red thought, many bandits already have a strong idea of ​​joining the Red Army.

At the conference, Xia Yuan was also willing to give them such an opportunity. Those who were willing to stay, the Red Army guaranteed their livelihood and would distribute land to them. Those who wanted to leave, the Red Army was willing to give them money.

During this period of time in the base area, everyone’s life is obvious to all. The base area is still developing and there are not enough houses. The Red Army soldiers gave them their living quarters. They would rather sleep in the wilderness by themselves. In terms of food, the Red Army soldiers and their food They all had the same food, and the portions were the same, and they were not treated differently because they were prisoners. The Red Army soldiers did not beat and scold them, or look down on them because they were prisoners. On the contrary, in the Red Army team, they I felt the feeling of being a real human being, and truly felt the equality of officers and soldiers.

Therefore, many of the bandits had a good impression of the Red Army. The reason why they joined the bandits was that the life at the foot of the mountain was too poor, coupled with the oppression and exploitation of the landlords and evil gentry, they could not live at all and were forced to Reluctantly, he went up to the mountain and became a bandit. If life was good, who would want to live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife, and he might die at any time.

The life that they themselves did not live has been realized in Nianping Village.

At the meeting, when choosing whether to stay or not, most of the people chose to stay, and only a small group of people chose to leave. Xia Yuan gave them some money as their travel expenses.

At present, in addition to the existing company system, the new additions include more than 30 young people from Laohe Village and [-] bandits.

A company expanded to a reinforced company.

Since this is a team drawn up by Xia Yuan himself, the organizational system in the team does not need to follow the international organizational system. Currently, one of his companies has reached 260 people, far exceeding a reinforced company.

Therefore, on the issue of the organizational plan three days later, Xia Yuan expanded one company to six platoons, one platoon of six squads, and one squad of 12 people.

Although such a system is a bit weird, he also has his own plans.

Therefore, there is still only one company of Red Army soldiers on the base.
