Lu Dayou smiled, he was waiting for Captain Chen to take the initiative to ask this question!
A look of despair appeared on Captain Lu's face, "Old Chen, guess how many patients have appeared in my entire 28th regiment in the past week?"
Captain Chen shook his head, "I'm telling you, Lao Lu, our old comrade, if you have anything to say, just say it, and don't beat around the bush with me."
"Okay!"
Captain Lu responded with a smile, and said in a shocking tone: "So far, for nearly a week, there have been nine patients in our 28th Regiment, and during this nearly week, this number has not increased.
On the contrary, there are still two patients who have been nursed back to health and have fully recovered. In other words, there are 28 of us.
If distributed equally to each company.
Less than one person has been reduced due to illness."
As soon as these words came out, cadres at all levels were surprised.
Commander Chen was even more disbelieving and said: "How is this possible? Every day in our army, there are no soldiers with little pain or heat?
Your 28th regiment has nearly 2,000 troops, which is much more than our regiment. Does that mean there are only seven patients in the entire regiment now?"
"Not bad!"
Lu Dayou replied decisively.
He changed the topic: "Actually, this is not surprising. What you saw about the sleeping situation of the soldiers of our 28th Regiment can explain all this.
Although I don’t know medical skills, I still understand the principle that diseases come from the mouth.
The soldiers of my 28th Regiment will not drink raw water and only drink boiled hot water, which can be eaten cold or boiled.
In addition, maintain personal hygiene, cut nails frequently, and wash hands frequently.
With these measures in place, our soldiers will be able to get sick less often, or even not at all."
Speaking of this, Captain Li sighed with emotion: "Old Chen, you said that what is most heartbreaking for us is that the soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but were attrition due to illness.
But why can't this be corrected?
It is said that the body is the capital of revolution. If we don’t have a strong body, how can we fight against those little sons of bitches?
And we call for good hygiene precisely to ensure the revolutionary capital of our soldiers.
In the words of Lao Confucius, this is called anti-Japanese sanitation, ensuring personal and collective sanitary conditions, which is also an important part of the great anti-Japanese cause.
Therefore, our old comrades came to our 28th Regiment to visit and exchange and learn. After much thought, I finally decided to take the lead in showing this scene of anti-war sanitation to everyone."
"Comrades, although we do not have the conditions to pay attention to the quality of life, we should consciously pay attention to personal and collective hygiene!"
The cadres looked thoughtful.
Finally, Captain Chen took the lead and said: "Lao Lu, you are right, our soldiers can sacrifice heroically on the battlefield, but we must not succumb to this small disease.
Hygiene is the war of resistance, so well said!
Just for this reason, my visit to Lao Lu’s 28th Group for exchange and study this time was not in vain!”
The leaders of other regiments also responded and kept the importance of anti-Japanese sanitation in their hearts.
Captain Lu smiled happily.
"Ahem, comrades, since we want to carry out anti-war sanitation, the first step is to ensure that the soldiers have hot water to drink.
What are the benefits of drinking hot water? I have fully realized these days. It is no exaggeration to say that drinking hot water can cure all diseases!"
"So we use briquettes that can boil water 24 hours a day, saving money and time, and this briquette stove. If our groups want it, they can come to me after this visit and exchange."<
/p>
Naturally, all the group leaders responded.
Then Lu Dayou gave the cadres hard food and took everyone to visit the artillery unit of the 28th Regiment.
Of course, like Kong Jie's independent regiment, which is an artillery battalion and an artillery company, and has all the background of infantry artillery and mountain artillery, the 28th Regiment does not have it.
At this moment, what Commander Lu was showing to cadres at all levels was the Japanese grenade captured by the 28th Regiment.
It was modified by the independent regiment's armorer, and the barrel was partially lengthened and thickened, and a bracket was added to the grenade launcher.
Captain Zhou smiled at this: "I said, Lao Lu, aren't you the Japanese grenade unit?
If this grenade can be equipped with a tripod, it will become an artillery unit?"
Lu Da further explained: "Don't underestimate the small tripod attached to the grenade.
With the addition of this tripod, the Japanese's 50mm grenade is similar in principle to the mortar we are more familiar with.
Although the Japanese grenade is flexible, it is too difficult to operate.
Even a Japanese grenade soldier needs to go through at least half a year of training and consume a considerable amount of live ammunition before he can become a veteran who can skillfully operate a grenade and achieve a high hit rate.
But our Eighth Route Army does not have this condition!
Then we can only find a way to convert the Japanese grenade into the small mortar we are used to.
This Japanese grenade, or 50 cannon, equipped with a tripod, can be completed in about two months if our soldiers train it based on our mortar usage and experience. This is comparable to the Japanese training a soldier.
Grenadier soldiers save a lot of time and effort."
He continued: "When Lao Kong and I talked about the Japanese grenades and our mortars.
Lao Kong even made it clear that small-caliber artillery such as the Little Japanese grenade, which is too difficult to operate, will be eliminated by war sooner or later.
For example, if our team captures the Japs' grenade launchers, we rarely fight back against the Japs in the same manner as the Japs' grenade launchers.
The conventional mortar we use is different. It is simple to use and easy to operate. No matter how the war evolves, it will always have its place.
In this regard, Lao Kong and I have the same opinion."
"So, among the contents of our 28th Regiment's major training, one of them is to train the artillery troops on these 50 small artillery pieces.
Including single-shot training, group-fire training, cooperation training between gunners and commanders, as well as infantry and artillery collaborative training, etc.
We have to capture the Japanese grenades, modify them, install brackets, and even lengthen and thicken the barrels to increase the range of these 50 cannons.
Create a small 50 cannon that can in turn suppress the Japanese grenade.
If we don’t win on the basis of quality, and our army’s logistics supply is far inferior to that of the Japanese, how can we still find ways to win on the basis of quantity?”
This insight once again left all the cadres speechless.
A group leader asked a key question:
"Lao Lu, it's easy for you to say that. Many of our troops don't even have a repair shop. Even if they can add a tripod to the Japanese grenade, I'm afraid they can't do it.
Not to mention transforming it into a 50 cannon.
Even if the Japanese grenades are captured, where can they be transformed into 50 cannons?
How to train artillery troops?"
"Haha, Lao Su, you are on to something with your question."
Lu Dayou smiled and let out behind him Shi Dahu, who had a big beard and a smile on his face.
When all the cadres looked confused, Lu Dayou introduced with a smile: "This is Comrade Shi Dahu. For some reasons, I will not introduce him to you.
Everyone can understand that Comrade Shi Dahu is a special commissioner of a team.
Moreover, on the phone, Lao Kong made it clear to me that Comrade Shi Dahu came here on behalf of the Independence League and Lao Kong this time.
Lao Kong said that he acknowledged everything Comrade Shi Dahu said and promised, and he would do it."
As soon as these words came out, the cadres were surprised.
Now a team with unparalleled reputation.
Detachment leader Kong Jie and Boss Kong are well known to everyone, not only in the Taihang and Taiyue base areas, but also in the Jizhong and Jinnan troops.
The first detachment in northwest Shanxi, which was able to force the Japanese First Army to do nothing, was in the limelight.
And it is the most widely spread and the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It’s funny to say.
It’s not that Kong Jie quickly built up a team of troops and fought victorious battles one after another with the style of a tiger general.
On the contrary, it was Kong Jie who vigorously developed the economy of a team and even led to the unprecedented economic development of the entire Taihang and Taiyue base areas.
Cadres have heard about it a long time ago.
Captain Kong is the best at doing business.
Not to mention my own comrades, including the Jinsui Army and the National Army, I heard that even the Japanese and puppet troops were eager to send food and money to a team.
Moreover, there are some regimental leaders who are close to Kong Jie, such as Li Yunlong of the New Second Regiment, Ding Wei of the New First Regiment, Captain Feng of the Fifth Regiment, etc.
Each regiment is developing extremely rapidly, and the lives of the soldiers in the regiment are even more prosperous.
For this reason, many Eighth Route Army generals who heard the rumors gave Kong Jie a good name, calling him "Kong Caishen!"
And the bearded and seemingly unattractive Shi Dahu in front of him can actually be the representative of Kong Caishen.
It’s no wonder that the cadres’ burning eyes were full of curiosity and doubt.
Ahem——
After coughing twice, Shi Dahu spoke loudly:
"Hello, fellow heads and political commissars, I am Shi Dahu.
This time I came to the 28th group of the brigade leader, and I took advantage of the opportunity for everyone to come to exchange and learn. In fact, if for no other reason, it was my family leader who specially asked me to come and give everyone a fortune.
."
The conversation started, but Shi Dahu did not give other cadres a chance to ask questions.
His speaking speed increased a bit:
"The regiment lacks equipment and ammunition. There are no machine guns or artillery. Two people can't even carry a gun on their backs. There are only three or five bullets per person, and the rifling of the guns used is almost worn out.
All year round, we can only eat chaffy vegetables. Sometimes when we have no food, we have to go up the mountain to peel off tree bark and chew leaves. There is nothing fishy about it all year round.
The regiment has no source of income, and they only rely on the common people to squeeze out some anti-Japanese food to survive.
New recruits were not issued military uniforms, so they were training in a single coat in the middle of winter. It was so cold that they had to stuff tree leaves inside the jacket's jacket.
Normally, let alone training, I would be so hungry and dizzy just lying in the store.
In a word, those who are short of money, those who are short of guns, those who are short of food, those who are short of ammunition, those who are short of supplies..."
Shi Dahu, who paused in his words, glanced at the faces of the group leaders and political commissars in front of him.
The expressions of all the generals who had been trampled on so painfully were clearly visible to Shi Dahu.
His words were impassioned, decisive, and solemn:
"...Everyone can come to me and cooperate with our team. My team leader said that the work of the team leaders in Jizhong is not easy, and he can help everyone a lot.
As long as everyone is willing to come, my team leader will have a way to solve all the problems I mentioned above for you."
"Lack of equipment and ammunition, lack of equipment and artillery? No problem. Our team has a repair shop, an arsenal, an explosives factory, and a bullet and artillery shell production line. Our team leader said that as long as everyone sends the raw materials, the processing and transportation will be done.
Problem, we as a team will figure it out ourselves.
The regiment is really in short supply of equipment and ammunition, and my regiment leader can even advance a batch for everyone.
The life in the group is poor and there is no source of income?
No problem, our team has a large number of daily necessities processing plants and production plants, and a large amount of stocked goods can be supplied to each group for external sales at any time.
While selling, at the same time using sales to inquire about the military situation in enemy-occupied areas, this kind of good thing will not be done in vain.
You get a big share of the money you make, my team leader said, he can just take some hard work money..."
These words came crashing down.
After the group leaders were stunned for a while, they all woke up one after another as if they were enlightened.
Captain Zhou asked nervously: "Comrade Shi Dahu, no, Lao Shi, do you take what you said seriously? Do they really represent Lao Kong himself?"
Shi Dahu smiled: "Captain Zhou, if you can't trust me, why bother asking me?"
Captain Chen pushed Captain Zhou away and said with a smile on his face: "How can you not believe this? Who in the whole of Hebei Province doesn't know that Lao Kong is a real person?
Now that he has said it, he must not deceive everyone.
Lao Zhou is a stubborn guy. Lao Shi, please ignore him and tell me what we should do specifically."
Shi Dahu smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple. In Jizhong and our southern Hebei, we have many ways to make a fortune and develop equipment, but we just haven't grasped them."
"Oh?"
"Haven't we already promoted tunnel warfare in Jizhong and southern Hebei? This tunnel warfare can be used not only to fight against the Japanese.
Carrying out sabotage raids, destroying the enemy's transportation lines, digging the enemy's railway tracks, and cutting the enemy's wires are all excellent ways to obtain military raw materials.
Sneak attacks on the Japanese warehouses, sneak attacks on the Japanese communication stations, power stations, and train stations. We have so many troops in the Central Hebei Army and so many people support us. Even if we sneak into the Japanese county town and tighten two screws a day, it will not take long.
It is still a fortune.
In the past, there was no place to utilize these raw materials.
But it’s different now. Each of our regiments has obtained the materials, whether it’s for a sabotage attack or a sneak attack. Once the raw materials have been obtained, they can just be sent to our independent regiment.
After being processed and produced by our independent regiment arsenal, what comes back to everyone is guns and ammunition."
"In addition, we can still do business. The Japanese and puppet soldiers in enemy-occupied areas are also human beings and still need to live. As long as our products are good, the Japanese and puppet soldiers will rush to buy them.
As long as we can open up the sales channels from our base areas to enemy-occupied areas, are we still afraid that the Japanese money will not be put into our pockets and we will not be able to buy the necessary military supplies?"
"As for the construction of troops, it will be more convenient. Whether it is engineers, infantry, artillery, automobile troops, or even tank troops, everyone must have heard that our team has already held a military skills meeting at the call of the regiment leader.
Cultural class study class.
Whether you are a comrade in each of our regiments who wants to learn cultural knowledge or want to learn military skills and train corresponding arms, you can go to our first team to learn.
In a word, as long as everyone is willing to cooperate with our team for win-win results and develop together.
Our leader has said that we will not treat you badly..."
Just like that, Captain Lu was originally going to take the commanders of each regiment to see the rest of his 28th regiment’s military training!
The result was good, as all the cadres' attention was focused on Shi Dahu.
In the end, under Shi Dahu's analysis and persuasion from the bottom of his heart, the heads of each regiment and the political commissars expressed their willingness to cooperate with a team in military, economic and even cultural aspects.
Later, I didn’t know who came up with the idea.
When Shi Dahu took out a piece of white paper.
The leaders of each group rushed to sign their names and even used red clay to make their fingerprints.
As if he was afraid that Kong Jie would not admit it.
Good name:
Sign a roster with a team!
After the completion, the commanders and political commissars of each regiment visited other aspects of the 28th regiment's military training.
In addition to the large-scale military training, there are also troops rectification and streamlined administration, as well as large-scale production activities in the entire base area to cope with the simultaneous natural and man-made disasters under the heavy blockade of the Japanese army.
Implement a system of rent reduction and interest reduction for local areas to encourage people to farm.
In addition, Lu Dayou also followed Kong Jie's approach and performed some promotional and cultural drama performances around the 28th Group.
Even within enemy-occupied areas, relevant comrades secretly performed some revolutionary cultural propaganda performances.
What is important is for the revolutionary culture to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Now that winter is approaching, taking advantage of the temporary break between winter and the Japanese army, winter studies are still being carried out throughout the army to allow soldiers to learn cultural knowledge and military combat theories.
During the visit, the political commissars of each regiment never stopped writing pens in their hands.
Finally returned with a full load!
As for the leaders and political commissars of each regiment who said goodbye and left with smiles on their faces, they were happy to have obtained the scriptures in the 28th regiment.
I am still happy to be able to cooperate with the independent group.
Commander Lu is unknown.
After thinking about it afterwards, Captain Lu suddenly realized that something was not quite right.
"Lao Shi, this old Kong asked the monk to pass on a message early in the morning to help me plan a large-scale military training in the 28th Regiment, and also convened an exchange and study session for cadres at all levels. Is he rushing to promote our large-scale military training, or is he taking advantage of this
Is there an opportunity for you to help him with business?"
Shi Dahu said without changing his expression: "Captain Lu, look at what you said, is he conflicted about this kind of thing?"
Captain Lu: "..."
Shi Dahu said: "Oh, Commander Lu, our commander has said that this matter comes first, first served, and the relationship has closeness and distance. No matter how many Jizhong troops it cooperates with, the 28th Regiment will always be the first to cooperate with our team.
Serial!"
Hearing this, Captain Lu, who was originally frowning, relaxed his brows and said with a smile:
