Zhou Cheng took everyone's expressions in his eyes, but he did not explain and did not introduce the true strength of the guerrillas to them.

Facts are better than words. No matter how much they say here, they are not as good as seeing them with their own eyes after they arrived at the guerrillas.

The return journey was twice as fast as when he went there. He marched for more than ten hours and returned to the guerrillas' station in Jinshan.

As soon as he walked to the door, Tang Yufeng was frightened by the scene in front of him.

On the high ground next to the gate, a machine gun bunker piled up with sand trays blocked the flank of the door.

Three soldiers were half-squatting inside the bunker, with a light machine gun on it, staring at everyone with a serious expression.

There were sentries standing on both sides of the door, one on the left and one on the right, just like two electric poles. The rifle was on its back, and there were bright bayonets hanging on it, which looked particularly majestic!

Several questions immediately arose in Tang Yufeng's mind: Is this still the guerrillas he knows? Even machine guns are equipped, and his strict vigilance is no less than that of the main force.

There are also the rifles on the sentry, which you can tell at a glance that they are equipped with the 38th covers only by the Japanese.

Such weapons will definitely be in the hands of key veterans when they are put into the main force, and ordinary soldiers will not even be able to touch them.

The guerrillas were actually equipped in the hands of the sentry. Could it be that they were deliberately done to rush to the storefront?

If this is true, I will definitely remind the captain when I settled in the guerrillas that I cannot waste such good weapons.

Although I feel very resistant to the appointment of the superiors who sent him to the guerrillas, the military orders must not be violated. Since I have come, I must do it well.

As the deputy instructor of the guerrillas, I must do my best to ask all the questions I have seen in the guerrillas.

"Captain, you are finally back!" An excited cry brought Tang Yufeng back to reality.

When I looked up, I saw several people running out of the garrison. Two of them were wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms, and two of them were wearing puppet military uniforms with ejections, with joy on their faces.

Zhou Cheng pointed at them and introduced to Tang Yufeng: "Old Tang, the front is Xiang Feng, the guerrilla leader in the platoon, and the second is Chen Zhengyu, the platoon leader in the Northwest Army, and the squad leader of the Jinsui Army. He was forced to be a puppet army by the commander. He was captured by the guerrillas half a month ago and offered to join the guerrillas to fight the Japanese."

"The one on the left is the second platoon leader Li Yifang, and the one on the right is the fire platoon leader Chang Yuanqiao, who is from similar origin to Chen Zhengyu."

As soon as he introduced a few people, he ran to the front.

Zhou Cheng directly ordered: "Except for sentries, all the guerrillas gathered. In five minutes, I have a superior order to announce it!"

On the training ground, the guerrillas arrived here one after another in platoons. Although they were dressed in various ways, including puppet military uniforms and common people's clothes, their formation was still neat.

Zhou Cheng was very satisfied. It took only three days for him to leave the station, and several platoon leaders trained the troops in a very good manner, which must have taken a lot of effort.

Tang Yufeng stood beside him, his heart was as if he was overturned, and he looked at the guerrillas in front of him with shock on his face. He thought he had read it wrong several times.

After repeated confirmation, I realized that I underestimated the guerrillas in Donghui Town.

The guerrillas were equipped with great quality, all Hanyang and Sanba caps, and the bullet belts on each soldier were bulging, with two grenades and grenades inserted around his waist.

In addition to one person and one rifle, the platoon leader at the front also hung a pistol, which looked particularly majestic.

This is not the equipment that the guerrillas should have. It is clearly the main force. No, none of the main force does not have such good equipment.

Looking at Zhou Cheng, he asked with disbelief: "Captain, the crawler guns on the soldiers are really from the guerrillas!"

"If you want to change it if you have a fake one!" Zhou Cheng replied.

"The investigation team has been moving around the Pingding County Town, so there is no investigation team in the team you see now!"

"In addition, there are seventy or eighty prisoners behind the garrison, including the puppet army who were two times with the Japanese and puppet army, and the thugs who were captured by us when we fought traitors. They were not guilty to death, and I have promised to let them go."

"But because the situation outside the mountain is too bad, the Japanese and puppet troops hate our guerrillas to the core. I am worried that they will sell the guerrillas to the Japanese after they go out, so I temporarily left them at the garrison and asked them to help us build a garrison and build a position. Is it a way to make up for their fault for the Japanese to work hard?"

"Old Zhou, the first thing you have to do after you take office is to do ideological work for these people."

"I have a feeling that if they understand their ideas, they can mobilize at least twenty people to join the guerrillas."

Several veterans transferred from the regiment headquarters were shocked by Zhou Cheng's introduction, and the frown on their faces was replaced by expectations, and all their eyes were staring at the troops in front of them.

Tang Yufeng is a cadre second only to Zhou Cheng in the guerrillas. He couldn't help but sigh: "Captain, can we still be considered guerrillas? As far as I know, none of our main force's company has such good equipment!"

Several veterans nodded, showed an expression of agreement, and then looked at Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at several people and replied: "Although I don't want to say it, there is a fact that must be admitted."

"The guerrillas seem to be crowded and equipped, but this does not mean that they are also strong in combat."

"If you really go to the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the entire guerrillas is not as good as that of a platoon in the main force."

"This is also the reason why I asked the team leader to bring you over."

"The guerrillas are complicated, with local people and prisoners who took the initiative to join us, but there are only the lack of the Old Eighth Route Army and political cadres."

"If we cannot do the ideological work of everyone as soon as possible and let them fully integrate into the Eighth Route Army, the guerrillas will be a mess, and they will look strong and strong, but in fact they will be strong on the outside but also on the inside."

Speaking of this, Zhou Cheng has turned his attention to several veterans: "You are all veterans who have walked through the Long March, with rich combat experience, and have more than just mistakes as a squad leader in the guerrillas."

"But I don't plan to let you go and be the squad leader."

"There are many former veterans of the Shanxi Sui Army and Northwest Army among the prisoners. Although their abilities are not as good as you, it is still okay to be a squad leader."

"As for you, I decided to let everyone develop in political work."

"The guerrillas have three main platoons, one guard platoon and one fire platoon. Five of you go down directly to be deputy platoon leaders, specializing in the ideological work of the soldiers, and cooperate with the platoon leaders to train and fight."

"If the guerrillas continue to expand in the future, you will be the future company instructors of the guerrillas."

"Of course, if someone gets used to it for a while and finds that it is indeed not suitable for taking the political work path, I will ask you to continue leading troops, but the level is definitely not as high as the political work path."

Zhou Cheng said it very clearly. I hope that they all take the path of political work, not only has a high starting point, but also has a promising future.

The few people were not stupid, and they all showed a look of expectation with their eyes shining: "Captain, don't worry, captain, we will cooperate with the platoon leader to unify the soldiers' thoughts as soon as possible."

Zhou Cheng looked at Tang Yufeng again: "Old Tang, the position of the guerrilla instructor will be yours sooner or later. You are appointed as the deputy instructor for some reasons, but you must take care of everything the instructor should do."

"In addition, there is another task: you have carried out special political training for the entire guerrilla team. I ask you to work during the day and gather a few veterans together to study at night, and tell them how to become a qualified political cadre."

"During the training, call all the platoon leaders to see if you can find a few good seedlings in this area."

"The guerrillas cannot always have this little force. They will definitely expand in the future. It is definitely right for us to prepare for more political cadres in the future."
