The strongest militia

()(ps: Thanks to the book friend 'Xiaoyi 002' for the great reward. The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which also received information about the sneak attack launched before this festival, also sent a condolence telegram to Deng Chenggong as soon as possible. As the only An armed force in the occupied areas of North China, the Eighth Route Army's base in the North China militia column, the small life is quite good.

After entering North China from the Eighth Route Army, I originally thought that I could take advantage of the complicated situation of the struggle behind the enemy here, and have a certain anti-Japanese mass base to develop and strengthen my own revolutionary armed forces.It's just a pity that when the 129th Division almost figured out the situation near Xingtai, they finally gave up their original idea helplessly.Because in the base area of ​​the militia column, they couldn't recruit soldiers at all.

Recalling the scene at that time, Master Liu Bo was still full of bitterness. He thought happily that the militiamen here could join their Eighth Route Army with a little publicity and education.After all, after arriving in Xingtai, Deng Chenggong had agreed to let them recruit troops.Even the regular militiamen of the militia column, as long as they can pull away, Deng Chenggong is absolutely fine.

It is a pity that when the recruiting cadres of the 129th Division, with full of confidence, entered the countryside to publicize the principles and policies of the People's Party, and that the Eighth Route Army is an army that serves the people.The common people's attitude towards them can only be described as mediocre.Although on the surface they were welcomed for their arrival, there were not many people who attended the publicity meeting.In the words of these common people, it is better to have more than two acres of land with this kind of work.

At first, I thought it might be the common people here, and they were not willing to listen to these plain words, so the recruiting cadres turned their publicity targets to the reserve militiamen who had a certain cultural and even military foundation.These militiamen were willing to listen to their rationale, but when they heard the rules that they had to abide by when entering the Eighth Route Army, even the militiamen who were a little bit tempted quickly gave up the idea of ​​joining the Eighth Route Army.

So much so that when these recruiting cadres returned to the headquarters of the division, Commander Liu Bo looked puzzled and said: "How could this be? Didn't it mean that the people here are very supportive of the resistance to Japan? How come you can't recruit a single soldier? "

Concerned about his teacher's confusion, the recruiting cadre also said helplessly: "People have said that it's okay to join our Eighth Route Army, but they just asked how many ocean soldiers we can send out every month? What kind of guns can we use after we come in?" Can I marry a wife after serving as a soldier for three years? Also, how much will be given to them after the war spoils are captured? Is there a soldier fund? Is there any subsidy for the disabled? There are corresponding regulations, but what about us?"

Posting a post, Uncle Liu thinks that if conditions permit, the Eighth Route Army can also pay military salaries.It's just that with the current economic situation of the Eighth Route Army, even the board and lodging are mostly selflessly supported by the militia columns, so it's not even possible that things like military pay are paid by others?

As for what kind of gun to use, Liu Bo believed that although the 129th Division could be called an elite unit of the Eighth Route Army, it was sometimes difficult to achieve one shot per person.This time I came to North China to fight against the enemy's rear. If it wasn't for Deng Chenggong's generosity to send so many Japanese-style equipment at once, I'm afraid that their division would be difficult to manage with a single shot.What's more, people also asked what type of gun to use.

As for the matter of soldiers marrying their wives, according to the current regulations implemented by the Eighth Route Army, only those who have reached the level of regimental commander can consider getting married with the permission of their superiors.There is really no rule for this ordinary soldier family to marry a wife within three years.

The soldiers who seized the spoils had to be divided, which was even more impossible for the Eighth Route Army. You must know that the battlefield policy they are currently implementing is that everything seized must be returned to the public.What about dividing it into one?These latter soldier funds and disability subsidies are even more impossible to do in a short period of time in the Eighth Route Army.

This made Uncle Liu suddenly understand why Deng Chenggong was so generous when his political commissar Deng Ping discussed recruiting troops with the other party. He dared to love this North China militia column. I'm afraid that even a large part of the Communist Party can't do it, let alone the Eighth Route Army who have always lived in poverty.

As a result, after the 129th Division arrived in Xingtai, it didn't recruit a single soldier for more than a month. Of course, it didn't get a single fight in this battle.Because the little devils here rarely go out of the city to the countryside to suppress them, which means that they have nothing to do with each other.As for those little devils hiding in the city, with their equipment of millet and rifles, they just stared blankly.

In the end, Uncle Liu had no choice but to report the situation to the headquarters in Yan'an, and at the same time asked Deng Ping's political commissar and Chen Geng, who had a good relationship with Deng Chenggong, to discuss with Deng Chenggong.See if there is any way to change the predicament they are facing now!

As a result, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, who learned of this situation, could not give specific measures to deal with this situation where it was difficult to recruit troops and there was no battle to fight.Fortunately, another team sent out finally brought some good news when they came back.

Especially Deng Ping's political commissar, the first thing he said when he came back to see Uncle Liu was: "It seems that what Kernong said is right, this Deng Chenggong understands our policies far better than we imagined. In our opinion, it is very difficult The problem can be solved with just a few words. If we can bring him to the side of the Eighth Route Army, I dare say that the whole North China will be ruled by our People’s Party in the future.”

Uncle Liu was surprised that his partner gave Deng Chenggong such a high evaluation: "What did he tell you?"

Deng Ping said: "As for our difficulty in recruiting troops, Deng Chenggong's answer is that we have chosen the wrong recruits. How can we beat them if we recruit troops in the base areas of other people's militia columns. Therefore, we can recruit troops in the future. Choose the soldiers of the Northeast Army who escaped from the Northeast, and even some young and middle-aged people who fled here. In a word, only by recruiting some soldiers who do not understand the policy of the militia columns can they enrich themselves.

In addition, he also gave us a suggestion, that is, we can attack those puppet troops in the county. Although these puppet troops are hateful, most of them are soldiers transformed from captives by little devils.If our propaganda policy is in place, there is still a good chance they will come over anyway.In this way, as long as these puppet troops are transformed, they can directly enrich the troops below, which is far better than recruiting some young people who have not received military training.

As for the last point that there is no battle to fight, it is because our eyes are only on other people's territory, and of course we can't find a chance to strike.But we have forgotten that the militia columns don't easily provoke the little devil's transport troops, so didn't we say that we can't trouble them either?

In the words of that kid, he hits his, and we hit ours.The only thing to pay attention to is that our transport troops to fight the little devils must show their signs, and they cannot blame this matter on their militia columns.In this way, we can not only forge the combat capabilities of the troops, but also increase the supplies of our own troops by attacking the supply lines of the little devils.

Old Liu, do you think that the answer given by this kid solved the dilemma in front of us at once?I've always felt that Deng Chenggong must have known that we would have such a day. If we hadn't put down our faces to ask for advice, this guy would have kept these thoughts in his heart and wouldn't tell us.From this point, it can be seen that this kid also has a lot of bad water! "

After listening to Deng Ping's suggestion, Liu Bo suddenly felt that he seemed to be too focused on annexing the strength of the militia column, so that he forgot that on the ground in North China, the militia column now played the leading role, and the Eighth Route Army played the supporting role.If the supporting role wants to steal the leading role, in a sense, there must be no good fruit to eat.Fortunately, Deng Chenggong is quite authentic. As long as they ask for advice, the other party is still happy to solve their troubles for them.

Uncle Liu, who wanted to understand this point, nodded and said: "If I were Deng Chenggong, I'm afraid I would be a little wary. After all, we are occupying other people's territory now, and we are still living on their territory and pulling troops. They don't Seeking trouble is already considered as benevolent, the key is that we are too eager to receive this armed force.

We always thought that the militia column was just a mass armed force, but we forgot that this army was a wolf in sheep's clothing, but we became sheep in wolf's clothing.This mentality is unacceptable, it seems that we really need to pay attention to this point in the future.By the way, you just said that he asked us to instigate the puppet army, how sure do you think this is? "

Hearing this, Deng Ping looked a little serious and said: "If it was in the past, I can only tell you that it is really not very sure. But that guy combined with the military rules and regulations that our Eighth Route Army is currently implementing, he only said something extra. The two words make me feel that this guy is not at all like what he said, and he doesn't know how to engage in political work.

I can even say that once the method he gave is implemented in the Eighth Route Army, I dare say that the success rate of soldiers who instigated those puppet troops and warlords of other parties will be greatly enhanced.That's why I say that, in a sense, that guy really understands the People's Party and our newly formed Eighth Route Army better than we do.

The method he gave was to 'complain', to let those puppet troops and deserters complain to each other, so that they could agree with our political program and truly become a member of the Eighth Route Army.As long as there is still class oppression in this country, once this grievance meeting is held, I am afraid that any low-level soldiers will vote for us.So I would say that if that kid can be brought to our side, the whole of North China will surely become the world of our People's Party.

It's a pity that this kid is very polite to me and Chen Geng, and he always answers every question.But when it comes to joining the People's Party, this guy always makes excuses to avoid talking about it.If I hadn't known that he didn't like the National Party or even other warlords, I would have thought of clearing him early.Because, once he really becomes like those warlords, from now on, our People's Party may have another opponent worthy of vigilance and worry. "

After Deng Ping explained what the Complaints Campaign was, Liu Bo was delighted that he had gained an additional magic weapon in recruiting troops, and at the same time felt that Deng Ping's worries were very reasonable.After all, in a sense, the political philosophy of this North China militia column is very similar to that of the People's Party, and it can even be said to be better than that of the People's Party.

In addition, they now control most of the rural areas in North China and have strong military capital. If the two of them really fight each other in the future, Uncle Liu feels that they will lose in the end. Maybe it is them.Because the belief of the people here in the militia columns can be said to far exceed their original Soviet base in the south.

As a military commander, he is very clear about what this belief means. The old adage that "the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world" is not empty talk, but indeed has its inner truth.It is not unreasonable for Deng Ping to have such worries.Fortunately, Liu Bo and Deng Ping both know one thing, that is, Deng Chenggong has a good impression of their People's Party Eighth Route Army, which means that they are standing on the same front.

If Deng Chenggong is going to be blackhanded, let's not talk about the high success rate, once the incident is exposed, you don't need to think about how serious the consequences will be.Therefore, many times, Uncle Liu and Deng Ping understood that this kind of worry can only be kept in the heart and cannot be expressed, otherwise they, the backbone troops of the Eighth Route Army who entered North China, may not be as relaxed in the future as they are now. .
