Qinglong Mountain is more than 600 meters above sea level, but because the path slowly climbs up along the way, when Zhang Qingshan and the others stood at the so-called foothills of Qinglong Mountain, they had actually reached the halfway up the mountain, which was about 350 meters from the top of Qinglong Mountain.

Although Qinglong Village is built on the top of Qinglong Mountain, it is actually more than 100 meters away from the top of the mountain.

In other words, from the so-called foothills to Qinglongzhai, it is only about 200 meters. However, the road up the mountain between the two has obviously been carefully managed for a long time: it is all the stone steps that are polished and cushioned. The trees on both sides of the stone steps have been cut off and replaced with a short but very dense forest of thorns. It makes people understand at a glance: if you want to go up the mountain from the front, you can't even think about it, you can only attack from the stone steps.

When everyone was so tired that they were dying, they walked hundreds of stone steps like a cow, and when they arrived at Qinglong Village, the sun had already set.

Li Hua is tall and thin, what Zhang Qingshan did not expect was that he actually wore glasses. In modern terms, his handsomeness was as handsome as a young man. His gentle temperament was suddenly revealed. Those who didn't know thought he was a teacher... In fact, Li Hua was a serious teacher. After graduating from high school, his family was poor and unable to continue to support him in school and had to come back to be a teacher. Later, Luo Yingjie participated in the revolution. He was not only Luo Yingjie's right-hand man, but also a key figure like a military advisor in the guerrillas. Otherwise, Luo Yingjie would not have designated that Li Hua would be the successor once he sacrificed himself.

Li Hua led a team to welcome Zhang Qingshan and the others.

He speaks kindly and politely, neither arrogant nor humble, but he shows his welcome and excitement from the bottom of his heart while being polite. It can be seen that this person is very rational... This is rare in the guerrillas, which makes Zhang Qingshan have a good impression of him all at once, and it can also be said to be respectful to cultural people.

The other one is an old man with a silver head.

He is the village chief of Qinglong Village and also the seven hunters, Zhang Deguang, elected by the three-year-old doll. Seeing him and thinking about him being a hunter for his whole life, Zhang Qingshan thought of a sentence to describe "there is an old man in the family, like a treasure" - the hunter is the son of Dashan! In the deep mountains and forests, with hunters who are familiar with the environment, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort, especially an old hunter like Zhang Deguang, who is even more of a treasure among the treasures.

After Zhang Qingshan had a friendly chat with them, he handed over the important task of the conversation to Hu Yingze and Luo Yingjie, but he began to look at the similarly built future residence.

It would be fine if you didn't look at it, but when you saw it, Zhang Qingshan felt a little depressed.

When Li Hua, who was standing by, saw Zhang Qingshan start to look at the base, he came over to introduce him to Zhang Qingshan.

The first thing that comes into view is two rows of wooden thatched houses in front and back built on Qinglong Mountain, each row of ten rooms. According to Li Hua's introduction, the mountains are heavily humid, so that in order for everyone to sleep well, these two rows of houses are specially raised by one foot so that everyone will not be disturbed by moisture when sleeping... Well, these two rows of houses are specially used for sleeping. Behind these two rows of houses, Li Hua also left a large open space to listen to his introduction, and to build three to four rows of houses on this open space for the sake of the participation of more comrades in the future.

On the right, there is a row of ten houses, mainly for offices, medical rooms, kitchens, etc. According to Li Hua's introduction, he also planned to build a tunnel behind this row of houses and a fence outside the tunnel to prevent enemy attacks. This place can be used as a drainage ditches in normal times and as a tunnel for shooting in wartime.

On the left is also a row of brand new houses, which are larger than the previous rows of houses. Li Hua said that this row of houses was built for residents of Qinglong Village, because in order to open a large enough playground, the original houses of the villagers of Qinglong Village had to be pushed down.

Well, all this is very good and reasonable. But the problem is, there are two things that make Zhang Qingshan depressed.

First, the symbolic wooden village gate next to Zhang Qingshan is a symbolic wooden village gate, with three big characters written on it, namely, with dragons and phoenixes flying around him - the assault group!

The assault regiment has just been established, with only two hundred people. I urgently need to recruit soldiers and replenish soldiers. Once you have this brand, we won’t say that the tree attracts wind, nor do we say that this thing looks like a archway or an unlucky superstitious thing. Just talking about your brand is equivalent to telling the enemy’s headquarters of the assault regiment… Even if the enemy knows the assault regiment and wants to attack, the mountains are surrounded by mountains and the paths are as numerous as cow hairs, and they are crisscrossing like spiders. Originally, they might not have found the location of the assault regiment, but once you have this brand, the enemy can see it from afar through a telescope. Isn’t this a typical case of asking for trouble for face? Well, even if the enemy can find it, the problem is that we can hide it for a while and it is good to have more time to accumulate strength for the assault regiment. There is really no need to make these names.

I was so complaining in my heart, but whether it was out of thanks to Li Hua and the others or the unity between comrades, Zhang Qingshan was destined not to say so directly.

"Comrade Li Hua..."

"Captain, you can call me Xiao Li or Xiao Hua."

Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile, then patted the 'archway' beside him and said with a smile: "Xiaohua, our assault regiment has just arrived and its strength is still recovering. So, I think it is the most important thing to let the people know us and feel the relationship between our Eighth Route Army and the people. If this thing is a bit silly, it will be easier for the enemy to find us. Do you think so?"

He is worthy of being a scholar, and his mind is full of inspiration.

When he heard Zhang Qingshan's tactful words and looked at Zhang Qingshan's actions as he patted the gate post of the village gate, he understood and quickly said, "Captain, you should consider the long term. I will let someone tear it down."

Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile, and then walked towards the playground with Li Hua and a few accompanying staff.

This playground is as big as two-thirds of the football field, and it is relatively flat. Some places even have new soils turned over. You can tell at a glance that it has been carefully flattened and solid. However, the playground seems large, but due to the limitations of the geographical environment, no matter how large it is, it can only accommodate about 200 people to train at the same time. Zhang Qingshan, who has brought out such a powerful elite unit as the assault company, naturally plans to use the assault company training method to bring out an assault group. This determines that the assault group's tame method is somewhat different from that of ordinary groups. In other words, the assault group will not be able to train at all in the future, and can only be used as a headquarters or a company-level unit at most. Zhang Qingshan couldn't help thinking in his mind: the environment here is so good, the geographical location is very hidden, and it is easier to defend and difficult to attack. Is it the regiment headquarters hospital built here?

He stepped on the ground with his right foot, which was very strong, and he couldn't help but say gratefully: "Xiaohua, thank you for your hard work to build this place so well."

"Captain, where is this? Our guerrilla brigade hopes that the main force will come to support us. It has been waiting for many years. Now, looking forward to the stars and the moon, we finally hope that the comrades of the main force will come... We may not be able to do anything else, but it would be too unreasonable to put in our efforts to build a few rows of houses and other physical work. If we do our best to do our best, it would be too unreasonable."

Zhang Qingshan nodded, looked up at the surrounding environment, and his brows frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Xiaohua, I'm going to tell you that I know that this place cannot be expanded due to the influence of the geographical environment. However, our assault team will have thousands of people in the future. Look at the playground, it is really a bit small. Can you think of a way to expand it? At least, you have to allow people around the battalion to train here."

"Captain, we had two plans at that time, but we first considered that the comrades came from afar and had to take a good rest, so we chose the first plan."

"That means that the second plan can expand this playground a little bit?"

"Yes."

Zhang Qingshan became interested: "Tell me."

Li Hua pointed to the two rows of houses in front and said, "There is a large open space behind these two rows of houses. According to the first plan, housing is to be built on that open space. In the second plan, the place can be completely vacant and connected to the playground. In this way, the place can be almost doubled, enough for a battalion to train here."

"Go! Take me to see."

Under the leadership of Li Hua, when I came to the back of two rows of houses, there was indeed a large open space. Moreover, from the periphery of this open space, many places were newly dug out. From this point, it can be seen that in order to welcome the assault regiment and to create a suitable environment for the assault regiment, they absolutely did their best.

"Captain, according to our second plan, after these two rows of houses were flattened, although the place was large, the comrades could only live in the mountains." As he said, Li Hua's tone was also a little low, obviously he was a little worried: "However, the fog in the forest on the mountain is much louder. If he lives there all year round, his body would not be able to bear it."

"I know that living in a place with heavy fog all year round is prone to arthritis." Zhang Qingshan was very happy to be able to open up such a large place, and he was very moved by the comrades in the guerrillas so thoroughly, and the smile on his face never stopped: "But it doesn't matter, there are many trees here, so letting comrades roast more fire and exercise more, there is no big problem. Besides, not everyone has to live here for a long time, so everyone can take turns going out."

"Then I will follow your order?"

"Well! First, repair the house in this place, and then demolish these two rows of houses."

"yes!"

"By the way, Xiaohua, is there any water source in this mountain?"

"Yes! There is a spring behind the mountain, which is constantly in all seasons. No matter how many comrades live, it can be guaranteed. Moreover, when we carefully examined the surrounding terrain, we found two springs connected to the spring. If necessary, we can dig it directly, which can also ensure that everyone gets water."

Zhang Qingshan's last bit of worry was eliminated and he was in a very good mood.

But Li Hua asked for instructions: "Captain, there is another big problem, I have to ask you to make an idea."

“What’s the problem?”

"That is, once we are stationed here, where should we build the grain and ammunition depot?"

"Xiaohua, this is a question, and I can't answer it for a while. I have to wait until I walk through the terrain here, and then discuss it with my comrades, and I have to listen to your opinions before I can make a decision." As he said that, Zhang Qingshan touched his nose and smiled: "I smell the fragrance of the rice. Can I start eating?"

"Oh~! Blame me, blame me. I was so happy to see the comrades in the main force. I couldn't help but report to you as soon as I came up. I never thought that you and your comrades came all the way. There was no rest yet and had dinner... I also asked the regiment commander to criticize me, and I will definitely correct it in the future."

"You are a serious and responsible good comrade. How could I blame you?"

Everyone walked towards the kitchen as they spoke...
