The strongest militia

() The sudden sound of gunfire in the county town really shocked many people in the city. Fortunately, the gunfire didn't last long.After the gunfire subsided, some bold citizens opened their doors to secretly look at the situation in the city, and found that there were more soldiers in ordinary people's clothing on every street.These soldiers knew at a glance that they were not regular troops, but could such a large county town be defeated by such a bandit-like militia?

Because they couldn't see where the siege troops came from, the common people mistakenly thought that these people might be bandits outside Xingtai City. After all, many ordinary people saw the movement of the whole army leaving the city yesterday.Now seeing that the county seat was captured by a group of civilians without military uniforms, one would naturally wonder if these people were bandits.

These days the bandits still have a great deterrent effect on the people. Some timid people saw the clothes of the militia brigade, and immediately retreated back into their houses, inserted the door bolts and pushed them up with the poles at home.Although they knew that if these bandits wanted to break into their homes and rob them, these wooden poles alone might not be of much use, but at least they wanted some psychological comfort!

When the militiamen from the county brigade entered the city, Deng Chenggong specially dispatched a detachment of [-] militiamen, and divided them into ten small teams to station in all streets of the county.

In addition, a team of one hundred people was drawn out to garrison several city walls of Xingtai for defense, and another three hundred people, led by intelligence agents, searched the county police station and other armed departments.For some officials in the county who are extremely angry, their property will be confiscated accordingly, and those who are in extremely bad conditions will naturally be pulled out and shot without further ado.For this reason, when these teams were performing these tasks, there were one or two gunshots in the county town from time to time.

Compared with the militiamen of the county brigade who were busy searching for floating wealth, Deng Chenggong, who walked into the material warehouse of the Kuomintang Division Headquarters, was almost blinded by the weapons and equipment in the warehouse.His first reaction when he saw these things was that he really made a fortune this time.

Just looking at the string of six 6-caliber German-made howitzers in front of him, Deng Chenggong almost drools, and there are also 105 12-caliber rear rifles placed neatly beside him.It can be said that with these 75 cannons, Deng Chenggong is fully capable of forming an artillery regiment directly under the militia brigade.Moreover, with these big guys, he will undoubtedly have a little more confidence in his heart if he wants to have a head-to-head battle with the little devil in the future.

No one said that they would all be taken away. After Deng Chenggong saw these cannons, he immediately arranged for the militia personnel from the county brigade to take away all the cannons without leaving them.As for the mortars of various calibers that were confiscated next, Deng Chenggong was not as excited as seeing the cannons.

Just when he thought that the only cannons in today's ordnance warehouse could excite him, in another military warehouse opened by the Special Forces, several barrels of long guns that were not much different from small-caliber guns made Deng Chenggong excited again.Although this thing has not been assembled, Deng Chenggong can tell at a glance from the barrels that this thing should be a rare high-shelf machine gun these days.From the number of these barrels, Deng Chenggong felt that the air defense battalion of his militia brigade had settled down.With this rare thing, Deng Chenggong doesn't mind letting them understand what it means to 'shoot turkeys' if the little devil's plane dares to attack the hinterland of the militia brigade in the future!

In order to evacuate the materials in these warehouses as much as possible, Deng Chenggong took the important military materials as the first batch of things to be transferred away.Fortunately, when the county brigade came this time, they had already collected a lot of ox carts and horse-drawn carts. Otherwise, these big guys would not be able to move them all by themselves in a few days.

In the end, seeing that the speed of these militiamen's transportation was a bit slow, Deng Chenggong brought his idea to several cars placed in the division headquarters.Although their own special forces have been trained, because they don't have cars, these special forces don't know how to drive at all.Fortunately, when they attacked the division headquarters just now, a few car transport soldiers happened to be resting inside. When Deng Chenggong and the others attacked, they also surrendered happily.To this end, Deng successfully selected a few special forces with quick brains, and asked them to guard an auto soldier each, and learn how to drive while guarding against their troubles.

With the help of a few cars, the material transfer work of the entire division warehouse was undoubtedly accelerated a lot. After Wu Zhongyuan and others reported the situation of some prisoners left behind by the division headquarters.Deng Chenggong immediately asked the militia brigade to escort the division's telecommunications department, including people and machines, to the rear base.If those transmitters were too stubborn, they would be shot without a second thought.

Under this kind of domineering coercion, in order to save their lives, the telegraph operators cooperated with the first batch of materials transfer team and left Xingtai.

Just when Deng Chenggong and the others were in full swing to seize the time to transfer supplies, Ma Liancheng, who had already got his old nest stolen, didn't even care about rest and summoned troops overnight to prepare for the journey.It was just that as soon as he gathered the troops, the troops holding the torches were attacked by more than a dozen mortar shells.Even Ma Liancheng, if he hadn't been a little farther away from the assembled soldiers, he probably would have lost his life in the round of shelling just now.

Although Hu Guangzong didn't know whether Xingtai had already been captured by Deng Chenggong, the abnormal behavior of this group of people preparing to leave the camp in the middle of the night made him realize very quickly that Deng Chenggong's plan might have really succeeded.If they are allowed to rush back like this, Deng Chenggong and others will inevitably encounter some dangers.

For this reason, when the anti-Japanese troops began to gather at night, he concentrated the mortars in the militia brigade and bombarded places with many torches.Anyway, this gathering place is full of people, even if the shells hit them indiscriminately, they can injure many people.

Hearing the roar from the assembly area from time to time, Ma Liancheng, the teacher, was naturally about to explode.The opponent's completely rogue style of play is indeed somewhat inhumane.But these days wars are only about victory, who cares whether you are moral or not.The soldiers at the assembly point saw that the opponent's shells were going to explode in places with a lot of fire, and quickly threw and trampled the torches in their hands without a teacher.The torch originally used for lighting has also become a reminder that no one dares to approach.

In this kind of mountain, you can't travel without torches. In desperation, Ma Liancheng could only arrange the mortar battalion of the division headquarters to counterattack in the direction of the artillery battalion of the militia brigade.Because there will be flames when the artillery shells shoot, the artillery battalion of the division headquarters can also quickly find the artillery positions of the militia.

After they fired several rounds of shells, the shells in the militia finally stopped falling into their camp.But then, when they organized people to light up the torches again, gunshots rang out from all directions in the darkness.Watching the soldiers with torches being shot to death one by one, none of the soldiers who survived with torches dared to light torches again.

Knowing that if this continues, he will only use his soldiers as targets for the opponent, Ma Liancheng finally gave the order to defend on the spot helplessly.Since we can't go, we can only defend temporarily, and try to retreat after dawn.As for the so-called continuation of the siege before dinner, it seemed meaningless at the moment.

Seeing that the other party finally didn't want to leave, Hu Guangzong arranged some militiamen who were familiar with the terrain overnight to plant landmines in the mountain roads where the army might retreat.In a word, without waiting for the news of Deng Chenggong's escape, the gang will hold them back for a while even if they try their best.

When the sky brightened the next day, the people of Xingtai, who had been frightened all night, finally couldn't help but open the door.Some daring people finally couldn't help asking those soldiers who patrolled for them all night, who is so sacred.

When a small militia leader led the team and told the people that they were militiamen from the Jiulongshan militia brigade, the people were stunned for a moment and finally said, "Since you are militiamen, why did you attack the county?"

yes!Since it is not a bandit but a militia, why do they turn around and deal with the county town defended by the regular army?

The leader of the militia explained with a smile: "It's not that we want to beat them, it's that they are planning to encircle us. Since they can beat us, why can't we beat them? What's more, we are a team of ordinary people, and they usually exploit us a lot. People, beating them is also a matter of course."

Hearing this explanation from the militia leader, the people who were worried that these people were bandits finally breathed a sigh of relief.After seeing that the other party said that they would be responsible for patrolling to prevent local ruffians from taking the opportunity to make trouble, the people did not pull the other party to continue asking.For them, as long as they know that the other party is not a bandit and will not do anything to them, the common people will feel at ease.

After dawn, more and more people knew that the troops that attacked the city last night were not bandits, but a militia group in Jiulong Mountain not far from Xingtai.They are the same as usual, what should be done in business is still in business.Anyway, I was frightened all night, and I didn't see what the other party did to them. In addition, they said that they were a team to protect the people, so naturally they wouldn't do anything to ordinary people like them.That being the case, what are they still worried about.

Considering that it is not appropriate to stimulate the Kuomintang government too much, Deng Chenggong did not follow the People's Party, posting anti-Kuomintang communiqués everywhere after the capture of the county.As far as he is concerned, as long as these people know that Xingtai has one more army on their side from now on, it is better to do less for the rest.

When Deng Chenggong was busy transferring supplies, Qin Ming, who had been following Xu Mingyuan, suddenly walked into the command post temporarily set up by Deng Chenggong of the ** Division, and said a little embarrassedly: "Captain, there is someone who wants to see you, I don't know Would you like to meet me?"

Since entering Jiulong Mountain, Deng Chenggong did not agree to Qin Ming's application to join the combat force, considering Qin Ming's age was not yet full.Instead, he was arranged by Xu Mingyuan's side to manage some documents for Xu Mingyuan and act as the other party's secretary.This time, because of the attack on Xingtai, it was necessary to contact the intelligence personnel in the county, so Xu Mingyuan specially sent Qin Ming out to serve as the liaison of the intelligence department.

Although Qin Ming didn't say who the other party was, Deng Chenggong guessed the origin of the person coming from the other party's tone and expression.Although he was unwilling to get in touch with the other party so early, he still nodded and said, "Yes, anyway, I still have some time now."

Seeing that Deng Chenggong was willing to meet with him, Qin Ming felt a little relieved, although he knew that Deng Chenggong did not dislike the People's Party.On the contrary, many slogans and practices of the militia brigade are similar to the policies implemented by the People's Party.But after all, the current militia brigade is under the management of Deng Chenggong, and he is also a member of the militia brigade, and now he handles it for the people's party, which makes people feel that he is a bit duplicitous.

When Qin Ming walked into the temporary headquarters with two middle-aged men, the middle-aged man in the lead said cheerfully: "I take the liberty to visit, and please forgive Captain Deng. I am Li Hao, secretary of the Xingtai Branch of the People's Party. Captain Kong Liang."

Deng Chenggong got up and smiled and said: "Secretary Li, you are being polite. Since you are all comrades of Qin Ming's father, we can also be called half of our own family. What is there to forgive or not to forgive! I just don't know the two of you Come here next time, what advice do you have?"

Because time is tight, Deng Chenggong also doesn't like to beat around the bush and go straight to the subject.Because he knows very well that if everyone is laughing, this group of people will definitely promote the policies of the People's Party to him.It's a pity that Deng Chenggong should know as much about these policies as they do.After all, before traveling here, he was already a member of the People's Party in the army.

Deng Chenggong's directness seemed to be beyond Li Hao's expectation, but fortunately, Li Hao smiled politely and said: "It seems that Captain Deng is also a bold person, that's right, I just said that your militia brigade came from The ranks among ordinary people, you are also a unit formed to resist the landlord class and reactionary forces. This is very consistent with the policies implemented by our People's Party. I am here today to ask what Deng Brigade thinks about our People's Party And attitude? If possible, I hope Captain Deng can join the People’s Party and contribute to the liberation of the whole nation.”

This branch secretary is more direct than himself!Although Deng Chenggong had anticipated the other party's intention, he still didn't expect the other party to be so direct.

He smiled and said: "Secretary Li is right. Our militia brigade now implements the same political ideology as your people's party in many places, but if you want to contribute to the liberation of the whole nation, I probably can't do it with my current ability. My level of thought is not that high either. For me, the most important thing right now is to develop the strength of the militia brigade and strive to prepare for the future all-out war of resistance.

Captain Kong, don't stare at me. Although I have a good impression of the People's Party, it doesn't mean I have the ability to control the entire militia brigade.I believe you should know that the composition of my militia brigade is relatively complicated. There are officers from the former Northeast Army, and some cadres from wealthy families, which are what you call the children of landlords and rich people. Even a large part of them have already done bandit.Your People's Party must not be willing to accept these three types of people?

The most important point is that the most powerful country in the whole country is not your People's Party, but the National Party.Although I can't understand the style of the Nationalist Party, this time I also attacked Xingtai under their control, but this does not mean that I am anti-their team.If they didn't want to encircle and suppress us, I wouldn't attack their lair either.In short, I can tell you very clearly that my attitude is very simple, I will treat anyone who is good to the common people, and whoever takes the common people's opinion, I will take his opinion.To put it simply, if people don't attack me, I won't attack others. If people attack me, I will attack them. "

After saying these words, before Secretary Li could speak, Kong Liang, who was standing aside, stared at his eyes and said, "Do you want to be a warlord too?"

This hat is really big!

Fortunately, Deng Chenggong knew that the other party had no malicious intentions, so he smiled and said, "Isn't it easy to be a warlord? If the guys in the government are willing to treat me as a warlord, I am also willing. After all, isn't that bald head always appeasing the warlord and supporting him? In my opinion Come on, as long as the local people can live and work in peace and contentment, I think this kind of warlord is no big deal. I can see you today, and I have already expressed my attitude. If the two of you have no other important matters, I think I need to arrange work.

** The large army will not give me enough transfer time, I have to transfer the materials we need in the city before they return to the city.Another point, if the two of you are sincere for the people, I hope that the news of our meeting today will not be publicized.

You know better than me that for the time being, I only want to accumulate strength for the war against you, and I don't want to get involved in other political matters.You don’t have to worry that I will join the National Party. For me, I don’t care about any party, because I and my army only follow one sentence, that is, soldiers do not interfere in politics! "

Abandoning this somewhat inappropriate sentence, Deng Chenggong waved his hand and quickly left the temporary headquarters.What he said just now was not a lie, but all words from the heart.He is very clear that the current policies of the People's Party are not perfect, especially the occasional anti-revolutionaries that make him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.Therefore, he does not want to have anything to do with these political parties at all, and he is focused on improving the strength of the troops and preparing for the upcoming all-out war of resistance.In his opinion, this is the most important thing God asked him to do in this era!
