Chapter 635 Attack on Weijia Pier (1)
"Brother Peng, our assault regiment has just been established and was ordered to recruit soldiers locally. In the future, we will have to rely on the help of loyal and righteous people like you!"
"Don't worry, the regiment commander, as long as I, Old Peng, can help me in the future, just speak. If I hesitate, I will be this." As he said that, Boss Peng made a turtle gesture. Zhang Qingshan laughed and shook his hand and said, "Brother Peng is serious. In fact, when our assault regiment is really necessary, a telegram can attract tens of thousands of our army. However, in order to arouse the enthusiasm of the people of Shaanxi to fight against Japan, it will be temporarily dispersed. Our assault regiment has not reached the critical moment of life and death, and there is no need to bother the brothers, let the brothers laugh at it... Of course, Brother Peng, you can tell those friends bluntly that our Chinese army has never left."
"Yes! I will definitely promote our Eighth Route Army so that those friends will not be slaves to the country that will ruin their future and life."
"This is a good thing. Come on, let's go for what Brother Peng said!"
After taking a sip of wine, Zhang Qingshan's voice suddenly became quiet and he said, "Brother Peng, I really have to ask you for help if you have something."
...
More than an hour later.
Seeing Zhang Qingshan and others leaving, Boss Peng suddenly sighed.
Just as he was about to turn around and enter the cabin door, he was pulled by the excited Xiaoyingzi: "Dad, okay, why are you sighing?"
Boss Peng glanced at her and didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, the dog next to him suddenly asked, "Dad, why don't you let me send them?"
"What are you giving? Who doesn't know Yingjie's reputation and identity in this area? Is there anyone's relationship with Yingjie? Isn't this giving away clearly? Didn't you tell others that there are more important people who have come to see us?"
"If you know, you will know. Anyway, we will join the Eighth Route Army soon. What are we afraid of?"
When Boss Peng heard Xiao Yingzi's words, he was about to open his mouth and say, "You have to wait for a while before you can join the army." However, he suddenly remembered the secret he had just talked with Zhang Qingshan, and had to swallow it back.
He sighed, smiled bitterly with kind eyes, and looked at the pair of treasures and said softly: "I don't know what evil I did in my previous life. I have experienced storms in the world in this life, but in the end, I fell into the hands of your pair, and let you get mixed up with the Eighth Route Army."
"What's wrong with the Eighth Route Army? Just look at the performance of the guerrillas and you will know that the Eighth Route Army is a team that we are really considering for."
"Yes! I know, I didn't say that the Eighth Route Army is bad, but if you two hadn't been so anxious to join the Eighth Route Army just now, I could plan for you slowly, and no matter how you can get a job in the Eighth Route Army, it's much better and safer than starting as a soldier."
"I, Pengrui Yingcai, don't rely on my relationship to become an official, as that will make people laugh." Xiao Yingzi immediately widened his eyes and said angrily: "I want to take one step at a time and become an official based on my own ability."
"Yes! My sister is right. I also have to use my real skills to kill a general, instead of relying on connections and spending money to buy a general. In that case, it would be better to have fun in the world."
I don’t know if it was really caused by the boldness of his baby’s boldness, but he applauded and said, “Okay! Well said, this is the good child of my Peng family. Since that’s the case, let’s not be pretentious, just follow them. Whether you are a general or beheaded, it’s not in vain for a while. We will finally go back to this world.”
However, seeing the excitement in the eyes of a pair of children and looking at the prosperous Wei family wharf, Boss Peng muttered for no reason: "The wind is blowing!"
Time: Two days later, the sky just turned white.
Location: Weijia Wharf.
"The villagers all listened to it. We are the Eighth Route Army Assault Corps. We are here to wipe out the Japanese. We will not touch every tree and every tree. Please close the door and don't come out... The villagers all listened to it. We are the Eighth Route Army Assault Corps..."
In front were hundreds of soldiers from the 1st Battalion 2nd Company of the Assault Regiment, who were sprinting towards the Weijia Wharf Town Office, and hundreds of soldiers from the 1st Battalion 1st Company and the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion were rushing to the warehouse of the Weijia Wharf, where a small team of Japanese soldiers and dozens of puppet army water police stationed, with a total of seventy or eighty people.
Behind it was the propaganda team running quickly while shouting hard, reminding the villagers not to go out so as not to misunderstand.
At this time, it was dawn and there were no pedestrians on the street. Only a few shops opened the door. Occasionally, one or two friends were squatting at the door and setting fire to the stove. Seeing so many soldiers carrying guns and knives rushed over, they thought it was a bandit. They screamed in fear and ran into the shop.
For a moment, the entire streets of Weijia Wharf were filled with chaos.
However, seeing these people ignoring them at all and did not rush in to grab things and beat people. Coupled with the content of the people from the propaganda team behind, the people gradually calmed down their hanging hearts. They hid in the thin cracks of the shop and looked out while whispering in a low voice. Occasionally, some people who were brave would stick their heads out of the window to watch the show...
Seeing this scene, Zhang Qingshan's hanging heart was slightly relieved: what he feared most was that the people would cause unnecessary misunderstandings and cause unnecessary conflicts and damage without knowing it.
You should know that there are many rich people in Weijia Wharf, who have many servants to protect the hospital. They also have weapons, some even light machine guns. When they first rushed into the town, people would inevitably be panic and were the most dangerous time. At this time, as long as one person jumped out and shot, or shouted "Bandits are coming in, everyone will come out and kill them." Then, it is very likely that others will follow suit and attack them in groups.
This has been proven countless times in the history of Weijia Wharf: the most recent time was during the Northern Expedition, where the warlords were fighting in constant melee, and the local warlords drew troops from Weijia Wharf. As a result, a large bandit took the opportunity to loot the place. However, it was because there was a prestigious figure in the local area. Seeing that the bandits not only robbed property, but also raped and robbed all kinds of evil, they were filled with anger and jumped out and shouted. As a result, the whole town was infuriated: the wealthy family members formed the main force, the merchants fired guns, and the fishermen and porters attacked from behind. It took only more than half an hour. Half of the nearly two hundred bandits were killed and injured, and they were chased for dozens of miles. In the end, more than 160 people were killed.
It is conceivable how reasonable Zhang Qingshan’s concerns are. He told some of the big men in the town through Boss Peng’s mouth the policies and military rules of the Eighth Route Army, which was also one of the preparations for this. Otherwise, once a big man in the town shouts with his real arm, who can guarantee that such a historical scene will not appear again?
Even the reason why the National Government at that time had to draw a red line of 300 people was related to Weijia Wharf: Weijia Wharf was the main source of finance for the National Government of the county at that time. There were many rich people in Weijia Wharf, and the bandits were naturally jealous, but there were many people and guns in Weijia Wharf, so some small bandits would not even think of invading them. After calculation, at least 300 people were needed to shock the rich people in Weijia Wharf in a short time and make it easier to loot. Therefore, this red line was found: the company in the town office could resist bandits for a while. As long as it was blocked, then after the initial panic, the people in the town who came to their senses would naturally siege the bandits - of course, this is just a folk legend, and the official will never admit it.
Because of that "Skinny Monkey Incident", Peng Peng lost his original battalion commander and became the deputy company commander of the first battalion and the first company. After this period of hard work, especially the achievements of the second company's hard training, everyone was a little impressed, and finally made him well deservedly become the company commander of the second company. However, in his heart, it was his own shame, just a little better than being beaten down on the battlefield. Now, he naturally tried his best to prove himself.
At this point, he volunteered and even asked Zhang Qingshan to give him a chance because of his previous relationship. Finally, Zhang Qingshan nodded and asked him to take the Second Company to attack a company of the puppet army in the Weijia Town Office. The Second Company still uses the old method now: lead the new with the old! A small number of backbones lead the veterans, and the grassroots are mostly new recruits. It is also one of the main purposes of the assault company's operations - training!
Therefore, Zhang Qingshan not only warned Peng Peng, but also asked him to issue a military order: It is to train troops, not fight to the death. As for how to fight it is your business, I only have two requirements: First, if the loss of the Second Company this time reaches ten people, you will not have to do it, the company commander. If you lose twenty people, you will leave yourself; Second, someone in the puppet army must escape so that you can report to the Japanese in the county. If you dare to surround him, it proves that you do not have the ability to command and fight. You should go to the grassroots level to be a squad leader... These words are said in front of many people, and everyone who spreads them knows.
The Eighth Route Army was proud, and the assault regiment was even more proud. Peng Peng was naturally proud in his heart. At that time, before and after the Yan'an Martial Arts Competition, the assault company taught everyone a lesson, allowing everyone to see clearly what it is - a arrogant general!
A soldier is a group of soldiers, and what kind of people are brought out? Now, the original assault company has been expanded into an assault regiment, which means that many of the people from the original assault company in Yishui have returned. The grassroots officers and soldiers in the past naturally have to be promoted, and many of the veterans have become grassroots officers and soldiers such as squad leaders and platoon leaders. The new recruits they led naturally inherited this kind of arrogant soldiers and even promoted this spirit.
So, Peng Peng made a promise for the first one - if he lost twenty people, the team leader, don’t have to dirty your hands, I dug a hole and buried myself.
Of course, in the hearts of all the people in the original assault company, they were not very worried about this: you don’t even have the courage to shoot a gun with the Japanese, and you deserve to compete with our assault team? Isn’t this a joke?
However, Peng Peng felt a little upset about the second one: this is not only a test of the commander's command ability, but also a test of the cooperation of the soldiers under his command. If it is a veteran of the assault company, and the weapons are so good, Yishui's box cannon and grenade, there is nothing to worry about, but the problem is that many of the second company he led are recruits now, and some of them are fighting with people for the first time with guns. Moreover, because of insufficient guns, two-thirds of the people are still
I was holding a big sword spear. Can he not worry secretly? (The assault company originally measured the box cannons. Before coming to Sanqiao County, Zhang Qingshan asked for connections to borrow fifty rifles from people, plus the fifty rifles sent by the regiment. In other words, even if they had a single shot, they only had nearly four hundred guns. However, there were more than nine hundred people, so they had no choice but to temporarily take the big sword spear. This is why Zhang Qingshan continues to be equipped with weapons now.)
This kind of torment cannot be understood by outsiders.
Fortunately, Peng Peng couldn't care about anything else at this time, and he didn't care about his superiors. He thought that he could not lose more than ten people, and he had to take down the company stationed in the town office within the specified time...
