Time: mid-January 1937

Location: A dense forest on a mountain about twenty-five miles northeast of Sanqiao County, Shaanxi Province.

"Political commissar, regiment commander, I'm not talking about you two." Li Honghui, who returned to the assault regiment and served as the battalion commander of the second battalion of the assault regiment, ran to Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze for a rest and asked angrily: "The division commander asked you to choose a place. Even if you don't choose a place that is easy to get even if you don't choose a place that is easy to get, why do you choose such a place that doesn't have anything to do?"

At the beginning, the division commander called the political commissar and leader of the new regiment who were to be expanded. First, to invite them to dinner, which meant to say goodbye; second, to ask them what other requirements they have; third, to choose a place to display their strength?

As a result, when Zhang Qingshan was excited, he stood up and made three requests regardless of the consequences: First, the more people in the place are harmed, their assault team will choose.

So, everyone looked on the map and according to the information, the place where the assault regiment will develop in the future will be Sanqiao County, Shaanxi Province. According to the information, the land in this place is not barren, and there are many. But the problem is that since ancient times, the people here are tough, but they still like to produce corrupt officials. In addition, the landlords and bullies, the three forces work together to make the people live in poverty and the people suffer. As a result, naturally, there are constant bandits, which leads to the people becoming more and more miserable, and social conflicts are very sharp.

Zhang Qingshan's second condition is a private matter: Xiang Xueqin is pregnant again. This time, Zhang Qingshan said he would not want to separate from Xiang Xueqin, so he wanted to ask the teacher to make a special approval and transfer Xiang Xueqin from the headquarters hospital to the assault team... Generally speaking, everyone in the revolutionary team has their own jobs, and they generally do not give special care for private reasons. For example, many leaders and their wives are separated from each other and do not have to come together just because they are leaders.

However, Zhang Qingshan gave a very strong reason: he lost his child because he was not by Xiang Xueqin at that time, which led to the tragedy of miscarriage. Second, the assault regiment followed the division to Shaanxi this time. Although he could get some care, Daweihai's own strength depends on himself at critical moments and cannot always rely on the division. Therefore, this war is inevitable. As soon as his assault regiment was developed, there must be many new recruits inside, so he must be in great need of doctors and nurses...

With these two items, the division commander made an exception and agreed to this point, and Xiang Xueqin happily joined the assault group. He also brought Qin Fang, the little girl - Qin Fang took the initiative to sign up and asked to join the assault group.

By the way, the division sent three reporters to the assault regiment - a regiment-level unit. It would be impossible to have no radio station in marching and fighting. Although there is not now, there will definitely be some in the future. Therefore, Zhang Qingshan likes these three reporters very much, so he naturally accepted it happily. There are also ten new members, in addition to the twenty political cadres, the division sent ten grassroots backbones to the assault regiment. They not only have rich command and combat experience, but also are good at mobilizing the masses. Such talents are urgently needed by the assault regiment that wants to recruit soldiers as soon as possible, so naturally they did not accept them all.

Because of that lockdown incident, Peng Peng, who was originally designated as the battalion commander of the first battalion of the assault regiment by Zhang Qingshan, was demoted to the deputy battalion commander, but the battalion commander of the first battalion unexpectedly became Liu Bing's reasonably.

In addition, Liu Bing brought someone together, so he just made up an integer for the current assault group - two hundred people.

As for weapons, there is no need to mention it at all - the Eighth Route Army is poor! It is a waste of time to express it, but it is embarrassing to make him seem incompetent. Besides, the old song of the guerrillas is good, "No robbery, no artillery, the enemy will build it for us!" The Eighth Route Army has always relied on battlefield seizures to arm itself. If you want to ask for it, what's the matter? Everyone knows this. To put it more bluntly, the assault regiment can be regarded as the emperor who is far away from the mountain.

If they do not violate the rules of the party, government and military, and do whatever they like to make money and grab, it is the ability of the assault regiment. No matter whether the superiors care about it, they will not ask about it carefully. Even if they play the edge ball, the superiors will turn a blind eye. Just one thing: the assault regiment must be developed into a regiment with strong combat power as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the assault regiment is not well led and affects the overall situation, it will be a big problem. Dismissal and investigation are all trivial matters, and they may be shot.

In Liu Yongjiang's words, "If I had so many soldiers and so many guns and cannons, what else would I have to do? I would have been the division commander and the army commander long ago."

The regiment political commissar Hu Yingze, the regiment commander Zhang Qingshan, the chief of staff Tian Guozhong, the battalion commander Liu Bing; the battalion commander of the second battalion Li Honghui, the battalion commander of the third battalion is also the same as before. One of them is in charge of military affairs, the other can manage everything, and it has to be done so. After the incident of the Shouhou, Zhang Qingshan was connected to other things twice, which required hard-working guidance and education. But Zhang Qingshan was not a person who likes to reason with others. After several times, he made him feel bigger, and he finally understood that political cadres are not so easy to be, and he is not a material for being a political cadres at all. The boss is so angry that he is just a good person to be a political cadres. He is just a good person to be a manager. He is good! We can lead troops to fight with peace of mind, I don’t care about anything else.

In this way, the skeleton of the assault regiment was built. Moreover, the assault regiment also gained relatively huge freedom, and the glory of the assault regiment began.

The reason why I chose today is a temporary decision, but it was carefully considered.

The Battle of Xinkou was underway, and it was continuing to mobilize troops to the battlefield: This was the first joint anti-Japanese war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party after the second cooperation. It was a shocking battle, completely destroying the Japanese's arrogant words of "destroying China in three months". In other words, the Japanese have never lost a single battle since September 18th. At this time, the Japanese are in full swing and are so mad. At this time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to block the Japanese in the Battle of Xinkou, which really caught the Japanese off guard. For example, the victory of Pingxingguan was born in this. The Japanese had to concentrate the troops that were about to attack everywhere and send them to the battlefield.

Therefore, the assault regiment chose this excellent opportunity, interspersed through it, and arrived at the destination successfully - Sanqiao County, Shaanxi Province.

The Japanese in the past had just occupied Sanqiao County for less than ten days, and before they could take a look around, they had to dispatch troops to the battlefield. This means that the Japanese had not had time to rule Sanqiao County, but only occupied the county in symbolic sense. If the Japanese wanted to completely rule Sanqiao County, they would never be able to do so with the remaining troops. To put it bluntly, the assault regiment chose to enter Sanqiao County at this time, which was to use the Japanese to occupy the county, but due to their insufficient troops, they could not continue to carry out various townships, which left a very large space in Sanqiao County and its surrounding areas, which gave the assault regiment the opportunity and time to grow.

At this time, Zhang Qingshan and others were on the top of the mountain, one was to rest, and the other was to wait for the comrades from the Sanqiao County guerrillas to come and answer.

"Old Li, you don't understand this, right?" Hu Yingze ate the last bite of steamed bun in his hand, drank a sip of water, and said while covering the lid of the kettle: "In the eyes of others, Sanqiao County is indeed poor, and the society is turbulent and the class contradictions are sharp. However, this is indeed a blessing for our assault group."

Battalion Commander Li Honghui thought about it and felt that something was reasonable, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't explain it. He had to lean closer to Hu Yingze and smiled and said, "Political Commissar, my understanding ability is not as good as you. Tell me carefully. I can explain it to my comrades when I go back."

"Is this still necessary? Lao Li, you have a problem with your understanding ability. If you don't believe it, please turn around and ask the political cadres sent by the organization, and they will definitely be clear."

Li Honghui's eyes were blank, and Zhang Qingshan said angrily: "I'm asking for advice from the political commissar. I didn't talk to you and I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

"Old Li, your understanding ability really needs to be improved. Don't just focus on training all day long. Go back and learn more about culture, read more books, and improve your cultural level."

"Yes! Political Commissar, I'll listen to you." After saying with a flattering smile to Hu Yingze, he said to Zhang Qingshan with dissatisfaction: "Captain, do you see, it's still our political commissar to speak. Your cultural level needs to be improved. Do you know?"

Zhang Qingshan gave him a blank look, turned around, looked at the scenery at the foot of the mountain, and was too lazy to pay attention to him. However, Li Honghui took out a notebook and pen, intending to take notes seriously - this is his advantage: Although our mind is not as flexible as you two, the old saying goes, "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen." I wrote it in the notebook, and I turned around and thought about it slowly, but I still didn't believe it. Once the number of times is too many, the mind will never be effective.

"Old Li, first, although our assault regiment has been put on a stance, we still have to add troops after all, otherwise it would be useless to just be a stance. Isn't it?"

"right!"

"Then, under normal circumstances, the more turbulent the society and the poor people are, the easier it is to move everyone to do a revolution... To put it bluntly, the easier it is to recruit soldiers. This is conducive to our assault regiments being able to recruit soldiers as soon as possible. This is one. Secondly, the more turbulent the society and the more complex the relationships, the more it is to benefit our assault regiment's concealment. To put it bluntly, it is easier to catch fish in the muddy waters! Even if our assault regiment attacks, the enemy may also be in a short period of time.

It is hard to figure out who fought. In the early stages of the exhibition, our assault regiment had poor combat power, so it takes time to show. Such a complex and turbulent place is just right for us to hide and conduct exhibitions. Of course, when we really grow up, even if the Japanese show us, we are not afraid. We can clearly show the carriage and horses to do it with them. However, before the exhibition is carried out, we must shrink our heads when it is time to shrink our heads. This is a fact."

Hu Yingze spoke readily, but he didn't notice it. Zhang Qingshan, who turned his back to them, curled his lips when he heard the second line he said, obviously disagreed with this point.

"Political Commissar, what you said makes sense...what is the third point?"

"The third point is that the people are poor, the society is in turmoil, and the class contradictions are sharp... All of this provides us with a favorable condition, not only soldiers, but more importantly, such an environment is very suitable for our Eighth Route Army to survive here..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Tao was coming here with a big man: "Political commissar, leader of the delegation, and the comrade who was receiving the support are here."

The three of them looked at each other...
