Of the thirty-six war horses, Yang Sanqiang did not give any of them to Chen Long. Even the eight that were slightly injured and lame were bandaged and taken away by him. The full set of cavalry equipment, carbines, and supporting light machine guns were also taken away by the county brigade.

take away.

Of course, Chen Long was not polite. Not only did he take back the heavy machine gun he originally planned to give away, he also asked for three more light machine guns, including two Czech ones from the county brigade. There were also two packages from Yang Sanqiang.

"Hard Gate" was also touched by Chen Long.

Another person who gained a lot was Chen Laoshan. Hundreds of dead horses were transported in seven carts for more than ten times before they were transported out of the county and hid them. The old man was stubborn and decided to distribute them to the county brigade.

Half of the time, he took the people on several trips to get them all back to Chenjiagang.

This was also because the fighting in the county was so intense that the Japanese did not even bother to investigate the whereabouts of the cavalry squadron. Otherwise, they would be in trouble if they killed people and snatched horses under the nose of the Japanese.

Since the old man was so concerned, Chen Long certainly couldn't ignore it. He sent out team members to buy up almost all the salt in the surrounding towns, and then completed the work of curing the cured horse meat.

"In this battle, the national army fought very successfully and bravely. It was indeed not bad!" On April 22, after learning that the county town had been completely recovered, Chen Long was convening the rural protection team to hold an expanded meeting of cadres. The Battle of Heyuan,

Although most of the Japanese and puppet troops retreated to Qinyang, more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out, and a large number of Japanese weapons and military supplies were also seized. There were more than ten cannons and several tanks.

, and the grain, coal, wood, etc. hoarded by the Japanese were piled up like mountains.

Of course, more importantly, this battle also greatly enhanced the confidence of the military and civilians. As long as they are properly organized and the time is chosen right, the Japs are not invincible!

"Our battle this time was very successful. Although nine people were injured, they were all minor injuries, and the results were great!" Chen Long took a sip from the tea bowl and lit a cigarette leisurely, "Xiao Fu, take a look at the inventory

Let me report the results of the battle to everyone."

"We got 2 heavy machine guns, and now we have 4; we also got 3 more light machine guns, and now we have 4 Czech-style ones, and 2 crooked handles, a total of 6. The grenades are added.

This time we got 8 guns in total, but they didn’t have much ammunition. Each one only had three grenades. However, the captain said that we could use the Japanese melon grenades instead. We have a lot of these, and we brought back more than a hundred. 3

There are 49 Type-8 rifles in total for both young and old this time, and there are enough bullets, with more than 4,000 rounds. At present, we have 70 Type-8 rifles, and we can fully implement all-Japanese equipment." Chen Xiaofu fiddled with it.

The account book was read item by item. "I want to say this, everyone likes Japanese guns. Several squad leaders have come to ask me and said they want to change their guns..."

"Currently, we have eighty-eight people, and it is expected that there will be more people coming to defect in the next two days." Hu Dakang also reported on the personnel problems. Thanks to Chen Xiaorong's good advertising of the female gun goddess, there have been more and more people in the past few days.

They came here to join the army, and the hometown protection team fought several battles. The number of people increased instead of decreasing, which made Chen Long overjoyed. After all, the territory of Zhongwang Mountain District was too small, and there were only so many young people. If he wanted to expand his army, he could only make plans outside.

"Comrades, the main reason we have been summoned here today is for an adaptation matter." Chen Long finally stated his purpose, "We have more people, our team has grown, and our weapons have also been upgraded to a higher level.

I think it’s time to formalize the establishment.”

"Indeed, we all have more than enough to strengthen a platoon!" Feng Sancai grinned and gave a thumbs up secretly. Fortunately, he was not happy to let him join the district team in the first place!

"I didn't expect that we would also be regularized! Okay!" Hu Dakang also had a happy face. He was once a regular member of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army, so he naturally knows the benefits of regularization.

"What does formalization mean?" Some country bumpkins expressed their confusion and confusion.

"Formalization means there are more people! We have more people to manage!" The country bumpkin also has the country bumpkin's understanding. This is what Xie Daliang thought, and he helped to explain it self-righteously.

…

After some discussions and adapted by Hu Dakang, the Hometown Protection Team arrived at a brand new organization:

Set up a team headquarters: including a captain, a deputy captain, an instructor, a clerk, a logistics person, and two correspondents, a total of 7 people. Basically, the chief officer of the team headquarters remains unchanged, and Zhou Yunxin and two correspondents are added. However, Zhou Yunxin

For external publicity, literacy teachers are invited to hold night classes on the team and teach the team members culture.

There is an intelligence section directly under the team headquarters, with a staff of ten people, with Chen Ergou and Wu Xiaoniu serving as captains and deputy captains respectively;

There is a sniper squad with ten people. Chen Xiaorong and Yue Zhengjun are the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders.

The combat unit consists of two platoons, each with 33 people, and three infantry squads. The platoon leaders are Xie Dazhu and Feng Sancai respectively.

Each subordinate infantry squad has a squad leader and deputy squad leader. Each squad has ten people and is equipped with a light machine gun, a grenade launcher, and six rifles.

Four Type 92 heavy machine guns were used to form a machine gun platoon with a strength of 35 people. Xie Daliang volunteered to serve as the platoon leader. However, currently, there are only heavy machine guns, and the few mortars that Chen Long dreamed of equipping have not been seen yet.

This matter even made Hu Dakang laugh at Chen Long for a long time, saying that he was too ambitious. Even a regular company of the national army could not have a machine gun platoon. But Chen Long insisted, so he had to settle first.

prepared by.

After such a rough calculation, the number of people reached 128, which was a proper establishment of a company, but the number of people was still quite short.

Priority was given to equipping the machine gun platoon with 23 people, which left two infantry platoons at the mercy of each other. Each platoon could only have two squads for the time being, and some squads were still short of one or two people. But the frame was finally set up.

**********************

"Report, a group of national troops has arrived from the back mountain. The leader is a lieutenant colonel. His surname is Dong. He wants to see the captain by name." On duty at the back mountain were several new soldiers who hurried over to report.

"Dong? Dong Huaida? No way!" Chen Long thought for a moment. The only person he knew with the surname Dong was Section Chief Dong.

"You'll know if you take a look!" Hu Dakang glanced at the people present, exchanged glances with Chen Long, and immediately ordered Xie Dazhu and Feng Sancai to step up their vigilance and get ready for battle. As an old Red Army man, even though he also wore

Crossing the Eighth Route Army was wearing a military uniform with a blue sky and white sun cap emblem on his head, but he still had a special wariness towards the national army!

Tight inside and loose outside, Xie Daliang also quickly and secretly deployed two heavy machine guns at key positions, while Feng Sancai personally led his men to occupy the commanding heights of Zhuangzi.

"Hahaha, brother Chen, we meet again!" Far away, I heard Dong Huaida laughing and saying hello. There were more than fifty national troops in this group, and there were also several people with them.

A large cart of mules, horses, and horses was quite well-behaved, waiting calmly outside the sentinel's blocking line.

"Oh, I was told that the magpies were chirping so happily this early in the morning. It turns out that a noble person is here!" Looking at his shiny face, he definitely looked like a nouveau riche! "Dong Ke

...What should I call you now? You’ve been promoted?! Brother, you are so prosperous!"

"Haha, I don't think I should be too rich, but my military rank has indeed been promoted." Dong Huai's collar badge: two bars and two stars on a red background and yellow, which is really dazzling, showing a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Ah, please, please, please! It just so happens that my brother killed a wild boar today, so I would like to congratulate him!" Naturally, Chen Long couldn't treat him lightly and greeted him warmly in the village.

"Haha, good fortune lies in misfortune, misfortune lies in blessing! In this life, there is really no guarantee!" Wild boar, pheasant, hare, large pieces of horse meat, and a jar of mellow old wine are all combined.

Huai was so happy that his eyes narrowed, "Our brother-in-law entered the mountain and received a reward for climbing to the peak. General Wei personally received him. Does General Wei know? We are the largest commander of the Zhongtiao Mountain garrison, in charge of dozens of people."

Thousands of people mourned!”

"So many troops? Ouch, this is incredible!" Chen Long worked very hard to play the role of flatterer and kicked Hu Dakang, who had a stiff face, several times: "Don't deal with the situation, so no one owes you two hundred yuan."

Similar!

"Oh, my brother-in-law is lucky. He got a shot and was promoted to major general! The commander of the independent brigade appointed by the commander of the guard is directly under the headquarters. He finally got rid of the oppression of those idiots." Dong Huai.

He took a sip of wine and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the list was submitted, and the person at the top——"

"Who can be better than Chief Wei?" Chen Long was curious.

"Oh, you're bald! You don't dare to talk nonsense outside!" Dong Huaida smiled proudly, "Look, our brother-in-law was born in Huangpu. He had meritorious service in stopping the Japanese and was personally awarded a gold medal in Zhengzhou. He has gained the attention of his old man.

Got it!"

"That's really a promising future, it's so enlightening!" Chen Long hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and toasted him, "Then, brother, you are now——"

"Director of the Munitions Department, Lieutenant Colonel of the National Army, hey, I'm still in the same business. But I have more than ten times more things to take care of! Brother No. 4,000 is eating, drinking and shitting, it's annoying!" Dong Huai's face lit up, "Brother

Ah, our brother-in-law said, I don’t say thank you for saving my life. Whatever your brother’s shortcomings are in the future, it’s all a matter of my words, so don’t be polite to our brother!”

"Tsk, tsk, how can you be so embarrassed!" Chen Long was pretending to be polite, but he picked up the wine and toasted: "There will be a lot of trouble in the future, so I have to rely on my brother to take care of me!"

"It's all a matter of course. Today, Brother Dong is here to give you a batch of weapons." Dong Huaida accepted Chen Long's salute calmly and shouted loudly: "Come on, bring everything in."

"Tap tap tap tap -" The soldiers filed in and put down a pile of weapons one by one in the courtyard.

"Two mortars, two Maxims, four Czechs, twenty flower machine guns, ten box guns, one hundred brand-new Chinese formal guns, and ten boxes of grenades, enough for you to form a team!"

Dong Huaida took Chen Long to introduce the neatly arranged weapons one by one, feeling proud.

"Thank you so much!" Chen Long took Dong Huaida's hand and said, "Brother, we brothers don't have to say more polite words. We won't go home until we get drunk today!"
