Chapter 20 Emergency Assembly
The Red Third Company, the propaganda team, and the more than 80 militiamen, had a total of more than 200 people. In order not to cause trouble to the people of Guitang Town, a playground was opened at the east end of the town. Although the residence was still under construction, everyone can only sleep in grass sheds. The playground that can be used for training is ready at the first time. In particular, the militia self-defense team is the cradle for the main force to transport soldiers and shoulder the task of training for recruits, so they naturally need to take the first time to train.
To be honest, I really have to thank the people who caught the town office off guard, especially those gifts that celebrated Wang Weiqing's birthday were not transferred and served. In addition, the house searches of some bullies and gentry these days have made the Red Army very sufficient food and money. After waiting for the recruits to train for a while, the recruits will be responsible for escorting the food and money to the Red Army headquarters, just as they are taking on another training for the recruits.
Now, the revolutionary work of the Red Third Company in Guitang Town has encountered a bottleneck: the extreme lack of weapons, especially rifles and bullets.
The people in the town actively support the army and expand the popularity, and there is no shortage of other aspects. However, without weapons, it has become a major problem that needs to be solved urgently: without weapons, it is impossible to recruit more people to join the army, and without armed protection of the fruits of revolution, let alone establishing self-defense forces in each village, even if Red Army soldiers go to various villages to start revolutionary work, their lives cannot be guaranteed to be achieved at this stage. You can't even use big swords and spears to fight, right? That is irresponsible for the lives of soldiers. You must know that the enemy's weapons are guns and cannons, and there are almost no primitive weapons such as big swords and spears.
If there were no weapons, everyone would be able to settle down. When attacking Guitang Town, they seized twenty or thirty rifles of various types from the enemy, and thirteen box cannons to celebrate Wang Weiqing's birthday were mostly figures, and they were naturally pistols such as box cannons. At that time, it was decided that in addition to supplementing the weapons of the third company, the rest were given to the militia Self-Defense Force. Not enough staff, so they could only perform well or have good shooting skills. Now, the members of the Self-Defense Force were naturally wider than the bronze bells, and they stared at this weapon, fearing that their thoughts would be lost.
"Wang Xing, what is your kid in your arms? Hand it over and let me see."
After getting off the morning exercise, Zhang Qingshanqing went to the well to wash his face, and quickly walked to his second team of soldiers' houses that had not been repaired. The kitchen was just an open large shed, so the canteen could only push back. Therefore, the soldiers of the same team could only gather the rice pokes and a few dishes to the place, and then formed a circle and squatted to eat.
He took the bowls and chopsticks, made the meal, and walked towards the team where he was, but saw the team members chasing Wang Xing like a cheer. Wang Xing protected the bowl with both hands and dodged left and right. The same was true for looking at other teams. As long as they look at their cheerful appearance, they will know that something must be good.
"Report to the captain, they snatched my meat."
After Wang Xing finished speaking, the teammates next to him immediately started to cheer: "Squad leader, don't listen to him. This meat is from the kitchen, and each team is full of bowls. This kid is just a little more skillful and grabs faster, so he insists that this bowl of meat is his. Do you think he is talking nonsense?"
No wonder everyone is so happy. When it comes to meat, it really makes people drool: it has been almost ten days since the establishment of the Self-Defense Force. In addition to eating meat when it was established, there are so many days, every day: cabbage, potatoes, pumpkin and other vegetarian dishes, and occasionally adding sour radish. Even if it is tooth-salting, the young men have low requirements: they are very content with being able to eat a full meal every day. They are better than being a coolie in the past, but they can't even get enough food and clothing.
"Ahh! There is actually meat today." Zhang Qingshan put the bowl and walked to Wang Xing happily, and smiled: "The old saying goes, "It's half a day when you meet, you can't eat alone. Come on, hand it over, everyone will have a share."
During the playfulness, he finally took the bowl of meat over, and then everyone had a share. In the end, Zhang Qingshan only gave some oil residue. Seeing this, the team members were embarrassed to share some of the meat in the bowl for Zhang Qingshan, but Zhang Qingshan smiled and refused: "You guys really don't know how to eat it. Tell you, the nutrition is all in oil residue. Now I want to change it with me, there is no way!"
In fact, Zhang Qingshan felt that as a squad leader, he should give in to the soldiers, otherwise, what is the difference between him and the Kuomintang officers who only know how to exploit soldiers? This is also the embodiment of the Red Army's spirit of unity and mutual assistance. No one needs to teach them specifically, as long as the leader takes the lead, the people below will naturally follow suit.
There was meat today, and everyone ate it very well. After eating, Wang Xing asked with his head down when he returned, "Captain, when can we be gunned?"
Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan, who was about to pick up chopsticks and potatoes, was depressed: This question is a must-have question after having sex every day, but he couldn't answer it himself, and it was difficult to fool the soldiers.
"Comrades, no guns are only temporary. If you believe in the organization, you will definitely get a lot of bullets for everyone as soon as possible." Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan was planning to say that the Red Army had no weapons when it was established, and they were all obtained by seizing them from the enemy. But Wang Xing pouted and said, "But when I was washing dishes just now, I heard from the people of the 2nd Squadron yi team that they would be able to get the gun soon."
"That's nonsense. I was there at the meeting. Everyone made a decision: there were not many weapons and they could not be able to get the manpower, so they could only give the players who performed well or had good marksmanship first." As he said, Zhang Qingshan's face of protecting his shortcomings exploded and pointed to the team and said to the team members: "Our second team is not raised by stepmothers, and it is not worse than their team in any aspect. If anyone dares to use public service for personal gain, hum! I will go over the top and see who is unlucky first."
Zhang Qingshan's voice was a little loud, and the people from Yi team naturally heard it. The captain of Yi team stood up and sneered: "Zhang Qingshan, what do you mean?"
"What does it mean? Humph! Your team talks everywhere, saying that you will get the gun first, and it is a handful of people." Zhang Qingshan also put down the bowl, stood up and sneered: "Hey! Hey! Ask everyone, they are carrying their heads on both shoulders. Who will be worse than who? Who will agree?"
"What can you do if you don't agree?"
"How is it? You can tell if Bibi."
"Doudu"
The two of them were talking so hard that they didn't say good things. When they were about to compete, the gathering call sounded, and they didn't even care about it. They quickly asked everyone to clean up their dishes and gather in an emergency.
