The strongest militia

() After lunch at the militia headquarters, Deng Chenggong and his party rode straight to Ranzhuang. When they arrived at the outskirts of Ranzhuang Village, they saw a few young children staring at them from afar. After watching them carefully, they quickly brought down two small trees standing on the high ground at the entrance of the village.This kind of news tree was also thought of by Deng Chenggong and promoted in the base area.Considering that this sentry method is only suitable for the daytime, this work is handed over to the children's league members who have nothing to do on weekdays.After all, children are also idle during the day, and letting them be responsible for guarding can make the best use of them.

When the two small trees were brought down, the child in charge of the sentry jumped onto the village road boldly and shouted, "Who are you? Why did you come to our village? What do you want to do?"

Well! The alertness is quite high!

Deng Chenggong smiled and said: "Captain Zhao, it seems that the militia training in this village is going well, but with you, a serious Ranzhuang man here, are these children still stopping us?"

Zhao Changbao smiled embarrassedly and said: "Because I worked in Xingtai a few years ago, and this time I came back to the village to direct the tunnel excavation work. So some children in the village who are as old as him don't know me. However, I do know the kid in front of me, if I remember correctly, the kid's father is Zhou Dameng, the militia captain of this village."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Changbao, who dismounted from his horse, went to the child and said, "Er Wazi, you don't know me anymore. When I was drinking with your father a few days ago, you still secretly stood by and drank. I don't know me now. Me? By the way, where is your dad?"

Erwazi stared at Zhao Changbao and looked him up and down before whispering, "You were riding on a horse just now, how did I know it was you! But, my father said, even if you know someone, you should be careful. Don't put them in at will. In the village, you can only go in if you wait for my dad to let you in after he comes out, otherwise I can’t let you in secretly. Otherwise, if dad finds out, he will spank my ass again.”

Judging from the age of this child, it should be only thirteen or fourteen years old. Perhaps because of malnutrition, it seems to be about the same height as a child of about ten years old in later generations.However, the child's alertness made Deng Chenggong very happy. It seems that it is not unreasonable for Ranzhuang to become the core battlefield of tunnel warfare in later generations.

Just when Zhao Changbao was about to reprimand him, Deng Chenggong stepped forward with a smile and took out a few pieces of milk candy from his body, saying: "You did a good job, your father is right, even if you know someone, you must find out I just let them in. These few pieces of candy will be my reward for you, and I will continue to do this next time, I am very optimistic about you!"

To everyone's surprise, although the second baby was a little bit greedy for these candies, he suddenly said vigilantly: "Who are you? Why do you give me something to eat? Do you think that if you give me candies, I will eat them?" Let you enter the village, and tell you that it is impossible. If you dare to force your way into the village, our children's group partners will definitely report to my dad and them, and then you will wait for them to clean up you."

Well!In exchange for such a reprimand for a few pieces of candy with good intentions, and being reprimanded by a big boy, Deng Chenggong also felt a little hot-skinned.Just as Qin Ming and the others suppressed their laughter, a group of militiamen with rifles on their backs walked over quickly at the entrance of the village.A middle-aged man who was the leader was stunned for a moment when he saw Deng Chenggong's appearance, and quickly ran over and said, "Report to the commander, Commander Zhao, the captain of the Ranzhuang militia team led ten village members of the militia team to the front on Tuesday." Come to report and ask the Commander-in-Chief for instructions."

Commander!

This title shocked the militiamen who followed him, especially Erwazi, who had reprimanded Deng Chenggong just now, was completely shocked.Looking at Deng Chenggong's eyes, he also became a little evasive.

The reason why Zhou Meng knew Deng Chenggong was mainly because he participated in the officer training in Yinlong Valley. At that time, Deng Chenggong gave these grassroots militia captains a series of combat training.Therefore, when he saw Deng Chenggong from the headquarters standing in front of his son, Tuesday Meng also felt a little sudden, but he quickly calmed down and reported to Deng Chenggong.

Deng Chenggong nodded with a smile and said, "Captain Zhou, it seems that the militia in your village is doing a good job. I heard that this boy is your boy?"

Tuimeng, who had just received the praise and hadn't come yet, suddenly heard Deng Chenggong focus on his son, and thought of his son's lawless character on weekdays, he was very worried: "Commander, this kid It's my baby. Could it be that this kid is ignorant in front of you again?"

Seeing that he was about to reach out to beat someone on Tuesday, Deng Chenggong hurried forward and said, "What are you doing? What I want to say is that your son is amazing. He has such courage at a young age. In the future It will become a great tool. By the way, what is your son's name?"

Seeing that his commander was praising his son, on Tuesday he grinned again and said, "Because this kid is the only one in my family, I specially asked the scholar in the village to name him Weiguo!"

Zhou Weiguo!

Well!This name is very familiar, as if before I traveled, there was a TV series describing the special forces during the Anti-Japanese War, and the commander seemed to have the same name.

So Deng Chenggong walked in front of the child again and said: "Zhou Weiguo, don't worry, your father dare not beat you with me here. Since you don't want candy, but I still want to reward you, you boldly tell me, What do you want?"

Hearing that this young commander, who was often talked about by his father, wanted to reward him with something, Zhou Weiguo saw his father's obviously threatening eyes when he was about to speak.It's just that when Deng Chenggong turned his head and glared at him, his powerful father didn't dare to say anything.It seems that the commander in front of him is indeed very experienced.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Weiguo said cautiously: "Commander, do I want a pistol?"

Ever since Zhao Changbao and Fan Wen, the two heads of the county militia, often went to Ranzhuang to guide the excavation of tunnels, Zhou Weiguo, who had better eyesight, discovered that these two high-ranking officials, whom his father wanted to please, had a stick attached to his waist. A pistol that Dad didn't own.Later, when he learned that this kind of pistol can only be worn by high officials, he always wanted to own a pistol.Now the commander asked him what he wanted, so naturally he said the request without saying a word.

Deng Chenggong, who was also stunned by Zhou Weiguo's request, said furiously on Tuesday, who stood aside before he could open his mouth: "You really don't know the heights of heaven and earth, is this pistol something you can play with? I didn't look at you." Do I still use a rifle now? Is it possible that you want to ride on my head? Let me see if you are itchy?"

A series of angry curses made Deng Chenggong's words dumbfounding, and he stopped Tuesday again and said fiercely: "Okay Captain Zhou, since I promised to let your son make a request, then I will definitely do what I say. You don't have to do this, either. Isn’t it just a pistol! I’ll give it, but Zhou Weiguo, I want to ask, why do you want a pistol?”

Zhou Weiguo also said naively: "Because my father said that pistols can only be used by high-ranking officers. I think I have a pistol and I am also a high-ranking officer. From now on, my dad will not dare to hit me casually. "

Well!This reason is very powerful!

Deng Chenggong and others, who were amused by Zhou Weiguo's words, burst into laughter. When they saw Tuesday's expression of embarrassment turning into anger, they also suppressed the smile in their hearts.

'I can give you a pistol, but what I want to tell you is that pistols are used to protect relatives and people.It's not for bullying your dad. I'll not only give you a pistol, but also give your dad a pistol later.In this way, you will still have to listen to your father in the future, and when you grow up, you will be able to protect the people in the village against invaders just like your father.do you understand? '

Deng Chenggong, who said these words, saw that Zhou Weiguo nodded half-understanding, took out a Browning pistol and a box of thirty rounds of ammunition from Gu Yuan's house, and handed it over, saying: "This I will give you a pistol from today. I hope you can hold this pistol and become a real hero who defends your country. This is [-] rounds of bullets. This kind of bullets are relatively rare, so you should cherish the bullets and use them casually. Wasted. You know?"

Looking at the beautiful pistol in his hand, as well as the jealous eyes of his father and those soldiers, although he didn't know what brand the gun was.

But Zhou Weiguo still nodded happily and said, "Thank you, Commander, I will remember it!"

Maybe Zhou Weiguo didn't know the value of this pistol because of his age, but how could Zhao Changbao and Zhou Yimeng standing aside couldn't recognize this pistol!This kind of Browning pistol is in this day and age, let alone militia officers like them, I believe that officers of the regular army are also eye-catching.After all, this kind of pistol is not only exquisite in workmanship, but also sought after by some military officers because of its compactness and precision.Sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!

Sending out a pistol that he carried with him, Deng Chenggong took a [-]-ring mirror box from Qin Ming and said: "Captain Zhou, I will give you this mirror box today, with the same sentence, I hope you can Cherish this pistol and use it to protect the country and resist aggression. As for your son’s pistol, don’t confiscate it, and give it to him to use from today. I don’t think he will mess around. However, I can teach you when you have time How he shoots, or he wouldn't use a pistol. Understand?"

Seeing that he can also have a mirror case that can only be equipped with at least the level of a battalion commander, Tuesday is not envious of the small pistol in his son's hand. For a middle-aged man like him, the mirror case with a capacity of [-] rounds Definitely more impactful.

He took the pistol very cautiously and said: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely use this pistol to fight well and not let anyone bully our people."

This incident of sending guns at the entrance of the village was later spread by Zhao Changbao and others, and the Zhou family father and son became well-known in the militia column.Until the liberation of the whole country, these two pistols also became the heirlooms of the Zhou family. Zhou Weiguo also joined the army with this pistol. Admiral Samsung.Later, in his memoirs, people noticed that it was because Deng Chenggong donated the gun this time that he set up the ideal of defending his family and the country.And this Browning pistol has also been accompanied by Zhou Weiguo in the Southern and Northern Wars, which can be regarded as repeated military exploits.
