The first thousand two hundred and forty-eight chapters help each other
Zhang Liechen and the others easily occupied Xiaoqingshan Black Wolf Village. After withdrawing from Huaiyin, they finally had a place to stay after sleeping rough and sleeping all the way.
"Mom, I finally have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
Looking at the scattered houses in the village, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps who occupied Heilang Village all showed knowing smiles.
Everyone was exhausted after fleeing all the way. Now that they saw the warm and comfortable house, they wanted to lie down and sleep for a few days and nights.
"Sir Zhang, look at which room you have chosen. I'll have someone tidy it up. I'm tired from the journey. Let's take a rest first."
The battalion commander Zheng Gang, who led the men to occupy the Black Wolf Village, saw that the deputy captain Zhang Liechen also entered the village with a group of staff officers, and hurriedly came out.
"I think the Juyi Hall is good, spacious and bright." A staff officer pointed to a large wooden house and said.
Now that they have entered the mountains and have escaped the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops, everyone has relaxed their expressions and are now ready to wait for Zhang Liechen to choose their own place to live.
Compared with the excitement of everyone, the deputy captain Zhang Liechen was not happy, because looking around, there were only a few dozen civil houses scattered in the Black Wolf Village, and even if they were opened, they could not accommodate many people.
And now they are not only arriving here with officers and soldiers from some of their troops, but also their family members and the people who followed them into the mountains, tens of thousands of them.
Obviously, such a small number of houses cannot accommodate so many people, which means that some people can live in sheltered houses, while others have to sleep in the wilderness.
If the allocation of houses is not handled well, it will not only affect the feelings between officers and soldiers, but also cause internal conflicts.
Seeing that these officers were already preparing to select houses, Zhang Liechen knew that he had to set an example.
"Adjutant Wang, put up our tent, I will continue to sleep in the tent." Zhang Liechen did not choose a house, but ordered his adjutant.
"Sir, this..."
When Adjutant Wang heard the order, he was also stunned. He couldn't live in a nice house but had to live in a tent. His face was full of doubts.
"Sir Zhang, are you not satisfied with these houses?"
Battalion Commander Zheng Gang did not expect Zhang Liechen to issue such an order, so he hurriedly asked.
Everyone looked at Zhang Liechen in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Zhang Liechen said with a smile: "These houses are very good, but I think we should give them to people who need them more."
Zhang Liechen pointed to the wounded in the distance, and there were many patients among the common people. The infant child said: "When we were in the most difficult time, they all stayed with our Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps and followed us. They
Many people were bleeding and injured, and many of their relatives died on the battlefield for the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. They have paid too much, and we should not forget their dedication, what do you think?"
The officers looked in the direction of Zhang Liechen's finger and saw the exhausted families and civilians, as well as the wounded soldiers who were suffering from pain and suffering. They all felt that their cheeks were burning.
When they got here, they were all thinking about themselves, but they forgot about these people who were in greater need of help. They felt very ashamed.
"Sir, you are right. I think these houses should be given to people who need them more."
Liu Sheng, the director of the intelligence department, nodded and agreed with Zhang Liechen's proposal.
"At this time, we should work together to tide over the difficulties."
"We don't have any houses. We can start building them when the time comes. But without the support of these people, we will really have no chance of making a comeback."
...
Everyone agreed with Zhang Liechen's actions and respected him. They all expressed their willingness to continue sleeping in the open and give up their houses to the wounded and ordinary people.
When Zhang Liechen conveyed the order and all the officers gave up their houses to allow the sick and wounded and some women with children to settle in the village, the common people and officers and soldiers who had prepared to camp were deeply moved.
They fled into the mountains with the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps just to avoid the Japanese, but now the actions of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps made them feel warm.
"There are not enough houses now. I can only accommodate the sick, sick and some infirm people. I hope that people who don't have houses can understand our difficulties. I promise here that it won't be long before all of us can live in them."
Live in a house instead of sleeping in the wilderness!"
"good!"
Zhang Liechen's words attracted a burst of applause, which made everyone have a better impression of Zhang Liechen and the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
Zhang Liechen gave their rooms to the sick, old, weak, women and children, and the lightly wounded were given to the seriously injured. With Zhang Liechen's leading role, the team that fled here became more united although the situation was still difficult.
.
Zhang Liechen settled down the soldiers and civilians who arrived at Xiaoqingshan before returning to his tattered tent. However, he did not bother to rest, and convened a meeting with officers above the company overnight.
Now that their team has arrived in the mountainous area of Lunan, with the cover of steep mountains, the Japanese and puppet troops are unable to do anything to them for a while.
However, a series of new problems have been placed in front of Zhang Liechen and the others. If they are not handled well, the situation may still become worse, making them unable to stand in Xiaoqingshan.
"Now that we have chosen Xiaoqingshan as our new campground, we have a place to stay. However, we are still facing many problems. I called everyone here for no other reason. I also hope to brainstorm ideas and see what we can do.
Let’s see how we solve these problems.”
The officers were from both logistics units and combat troops. They all followed Zhang Liechen's lead. After hearing Zhang Liechen's words, their faces became serious and they nodded one after another.
"The first issue is that if we want to gain a foothold here, we must ensure the safety of our surroundings, otherwise everything will be empty talk."
"Although we defeated the puppet troops and caught up with them, there is no chance that the Japanese will not be willing to continue chasing into the mountains. With our current strength, it will be difficult to compete with the Japanese."
"So I plan to send a company of brothers to guard Heifengkou. Once the Japanese are discovered to have entered the mountain, the task of this company of brothers is to fight and retreat, lead the Japanese to other places, and protect the safety of our Xiaoqingshan.
"
Zhang Liechen pointed out a location on the unfolded map. This location is the only way to Xiaoqingshan and is also the most dangerous place.
"Chief Zhang, leave this task to me. I guarantee that no kid will threaten you here." Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming volunteered.
"Well, I will leave this peripheral defense task to you." Zhang Liechen nodded.
"In addition to the threat posed by the Japanese and puppet troops to us, there is also the threat of bandits. We need to send people to find out the situation of bandits in nearby areas as soon as possible. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle."
"Leave this to our Intelligence Department to ensure that all surrounding bandit forces are identified in the shortest possible time." This task was taken over by Intelligence Staff Officer Liu Sheng.
