After Li Yuan returned to his residence, he obviously felt very sleepy, but his eyes were wide open and he was not sleepy at all.

I used to think that as a soldier, my life should be on the battlefield, but now I am running for the lives of ordinary people. It has long been commonplace for poor people to fight for survival. From north to south, there is no one.

Everywhere.

In Henan, he had seen people selling their sons and daughters in order to survive. His last valuable pocket watch at the time was also sold into a pawn shop during that unjust rescue.

I have seen those who look like rich people, but they only have enough to eat and wear, and have their own houses. I have seen those warlords taking advantage of the common people in all kinds of ways.

After coming here, his understanding of poverty is that in order to eat and survive, ordinary people are willing to endure any hardships. He also understood why so many ordinary people did not resist during the disaster in Nanjing and were invaded by foreigners.

No one resisted when they were lined up to be shot. Survival was the first priority, even if it meant surviving for just one more minute.

The small number of people in Changxing could be wiped out in a single encounter with the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War. Even the old man of the Jin family who could provide them with five thousand yuan at a time was just for survival. In his opinion, he was just a rich man in the town.

It's just a household. If Fang is in the dark and invisible, he might still be a bully in Si'an.

To conquer local tyrants and divide their land, this has to be done. How to do it in detail without violating the organization's regulations and without being caught by the Nationalist Government is a bit troublesome.

However, in troubled times, only force is everything, otherwise no one will care about your existence. The leader said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. This is indeed true. If you don’t beat him, the little devil will not have a long memory. Some time ago, after three

Cha Wu came out to carry out raids, but he has been staying in the city for more than half a month. On the surface, he and the national army are at peace with each other.

However, the Nanjing Reform Government openly implemented the three major poisonous policies of "smoking, gambling, and prostitution", frantically poisoning the compatriots and extracting money. Under the rule of the puppet regime, the occupied areas were in a state of smog. I don't know how many people lost their fortunes and how many families were torn apart.

How many decent women have fallen into a pit of fire.

Liang Hongzhi, the great traitor of the reform government, committed such wanton crimes and committed many crimes and frequently killed people. This guy must be eradicated early, but Li Yuan in Nanjing was not familiar with it.

We have organizational tasks and need to establish a base area, but if we can't leave for a while, we have to give up temporarily.

For the ordinary people here, there are a lot of people joining the army. The poorer the people are, the easier it is for them to propagate to them. However, there is a big premise here, that is, there must be a strong and effective place.

Organization support!

In this part of Changxing, except for organizations such as the county brigade, the support association and the independent company, there are no organizations with real goals. The national army represents the interests of the landlords and gentry, and no one is calling for the life or death of the common people.

Li Yuan, who couldn't sleep, put on his clothes and just sat up when Wang Xiaoer had already opened the door.

Lighted the lamp on the table.

Li Yuan removed his hand from the gun beside the pillow and turned on the safety.

"Brother Li, Uncle Liu San of Langxi came over just now and said he had something to do. Uncle Shen asked me to come over and invite you over."

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, put on his coat, put on the captured Japanese army shoes, and hurriedly followed Wang Xiaoer to the brigade headquarters next to him.

The dim oil lamp in the brigade headquarters had a line of black smoke rising from the top of the flame and a smell of kerosene. Old Shen was talking to a middle-aged man. Li Yuan remembered this middle-aged man, but could not remember his name. He stretched out his hand:

"It's so late, why are you here?" The middle-aged man saw Li Yuan's extended hand and hurriedly stretched out his hands to hold it: "Captain Li, I'm sorry to wake you up in the middle of the night, but it's really urgent."

Li Yuan was surprised: "What happened to you over there?"

The middle-aged man was a little excited: "It's like this. The newly formed Fourth Army has sent someone to contact us, saying that it will set off from Yansi, Anhui soon, and come to join us. As for the specific details of their arrival in Langhou,

Dong Xiangqiang did not say anything, and it was not clear whether they were stationed in Langxi. Company Commander Zhao analyzed that the large forces were either heading east to Changxing or north to Liyang."

Li Yuan was a little stunned. Now the National Army has troops of the Fifty-sixth Division in Guangde and Langxi. South of Changxing is the defense area of ​​the National Army's Seventy-sixth Division. Now that a new Fourth Army has arrived, there is no way to give Changxing a place like this.

There are more than ten thousand troops to provide support, and there is no room for movement. The only place to go now is the base established by Company Commander Qing. There are already some organizational personnel operating in Liyang.

Then the base area of ​​Changxing can also provide some support.

Li Yuan: "This is a good thing. Thank you for the information you sent me. If you need any support over there, just tell me."

The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed: "Our working conditions there have always been very bad, so the mass base is not very good. The Japanese have burned, killed and looted in Langxi County twice in a row. I heard a few days ago that you have taken in a lot of people here."

For the people near Changxing City, we are also thinking that your base area is not large, and we plan to ask you to transfer some people to the mountainous area over Langxi."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Don't tell me, today we are still thinking about whether we should find a way for you to accept some people. You just sent us pillows while we were dozing off."

Turning his head, he shouted to Wang Xiaoer who was standing at the door: "Go and wake up Director Qin. She must know about such a great thing as soon as possible."

Sending people to Langxi can serve multiple purposes. There is no need to transport a large amount of food from Langxi to Changxing. At the same time, you can also organize capable forces to plant the fields at the foot of the mountain. There are not too many people stationed there.

In the mountains, even if the Japanese come to raid, it will be easier for them to run away.

In terms of military affairs, it is also easier to fight Japanese guerrillas in mountainous areas.

Li Yuan suddenly remembered that in this mountainous area, if some roads could be opened in the dense forest in advance, wouldn't it be like a blind man lighting a candle with white wax when the Japanese came?

With so many ordinary people, in addition to being engaged in production, most of them are natives here. Some of them are more familiar with the mountains. If this mountainous area is turned into a guerrilla zone, wouldn't the Japanese only get beaten here?

Thinking of this, I laughed.

Lao Shen across the table remained silent. Seeing Li Yuan's little face, he couldn't help but ask: "Why are you smiling? Why do you look so mean and mean?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I thought of a good way to develop our guerrilla zone and expand our scope of activities. I couldn't hold it back for a while."

Old Shen said in surprise: "What's a good idea?"

Li Yuan expressed his thoughts happily.

Lao Shen had a dark line: "What a good idea this is. Organizationally mobilize the people. We have done this a lot when we were in Jiangxi. It is not new at all."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"We only have a small number of people. We've said it's useless. I've been thinking about how to collect food these days. How can I find the time to do this? No one is doing it."

Li Yuan: "We already have a small number of people now. Now that we have solved the food problem for the old, weak, women and children, won't there be someone who can do the work?"

Lao Shen thought for a while: "Of course, the power of the people is powerful. I think back a few years ago in Jiangxi, we didn't have many people in our organization. We relied solely on the support of the people, and it quickly grew to hundreds of thousands.

When the troops were transferred, more than 80,000 people came out of the base area. Our army is the army of the common people. Now that we have food, we can fight hard."
