"Captain Chu, nice to meet you, but you haven't been to the village for a while."

Chu Xiong greeted Li Yaozu back as if he were an old acquaintance, and started chatting casually:

"Mr. Li, the crops look like they are growing well this year. Is it time for them to sprout?"

Li Yaozu asked curiously:

"Captain Chu also knows how to farm?"

Chu Xiong smiled lightly and said:

"I know a little bit, but I'm definitely not as good as Mr. Li. Based on your experience, does the climate during this period affect the awning? Do you think the wheat yield can increase this year?"

As soon as crops were mentioned, Mr. Li's chatterbox opened up. What followed was a bunch of words that made Chu Xiong feel dizzy. But one thing he could tell was that if things went well in the future, this year's wheat output would only be higher than last year.

This is enough. He doesn't want to have too much say in farming matters. Professional matters should be left to professionals. When it comes to farming, he is not even a second-hand expert;

Sometimes pretending to understand and giving blind instructions when you don't know can get people killed!

After saying goodbye to Li Yaozu, Chu Xiong and others went straight to the village. He continued to do his professional work.

These days are the critical moment for growth. The militia training must have stopped, and the farming season cannot be missed.

He decided to go to Chen Erxi and Li Chennan first to learn about the village's defense and militia training. In the last battle, the militia company in Lijiacun suffered heavy casualties and was severely damaged. He didn't know how they were recovering.

Before he entered the village, he saw Chen Erxi and Li Chennan waiting for him at the entrance of the village. It seemed that they had discovered him a long time ago, but they did not come to disturb him because they saw him chatting with Li Yaozu.

"Er Xi, Chen Nan, don't do such nonsense in the future. I can just go find you directly. I even ran to the entrance of the village."

"Hello, leader, what the leader is criticizing is, we must pay attention to it in the future!"

Chu Xiong nodded, accepting their review. This trend should not be allowed to continue.

"Chen Nan, tell me about your militia!"

Chu Xiong went straight to the point. He was not here to take Aaliya on a sightseeing tour.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the current total number of militia companies is 95, including 62 male militiamen and 33 female militiamen. The training time is no less than 15 days per month. The training standards are based on the armed workers' team. Captain Chen also gave

We have a lot of guidance.”

After listening to Li Chennan's report, Chu Xiong fell in love with Chen Erxi.

"Commander, the training of the militia company is indeed as what Captain Li said. Now the militia company is very enthusiastic about training. If there is farming during the day, it will be practiced at night. The infantry training subjects of our regiment have been implemented in the militia company."

Chu Xiong nodded and said:

"Very good, Chen Nan, the training of the militia company must be constant and unremitting. The most important thing is persistence. We would rather practice all the time than be at a loss when the devils come. We have paid a bloody price. The devils gave us

There won’t be much time.”

"Yes! Our militia company must shoulder the mission of defending our homeland!"

Li Chennan is becoming more and more like a soldier now. War is the most training thing. After experiencing the last bitter battle against mopping up, he has completed the transformation from a civilian to a soldier.

Chu Xiong then asked Chen Erxi:

"Erxi, tell me about your situation."

"Reporting to the leader, now the whole village has been mobilized. The village committee has completed taking over the administrative management of the whole village. The party branch has also been established and operational. The branch secretary is me, and the committee members are Li Chennan, Wan Wei, and He Sanya."

"This He Sanya is Comrade Li Sigen's daughter-in-law. She has now joined the organization and is in charge of women's work."

Chu Xiong nodded, indicating to continue talking.

Chen Erxi continued:

"Now there are 47 organizational members in the village. They are at the forefront in training, learning, production and other aspects, and play a very good leading role. The fortress role of the branch has been well reflected. Now

In Lijia Village, as long as the branch calls for it, the whole village can respond positively and gather all the strength to do big things..."

This time Chu Xiong nodded with great satisfaction. Chen Erxi, the captain of the armed workers, had a high level of political awareness and a very accurate grasp of the work. This is the essence of the people's war, mobilizing the broadest masses of the people to participate in the fight against Japan and national salvation.

Come, let the vast ocean of the people drown the devils.

"How are you preparing for the new tactics? Are there any difficulties?"

Chu Xiong continued to ask.

"The tunnel has been dug according to the requirements of the group. I can't explain clearly at once. How about we go directly to see it? Is it just her?"

After Chen Erxi finished speaking, he looked at Aaliya pointedly. Chu Xiong naturally knew what he meant, but this time he wanted to show Aaliya. Now Aaliya was tied to the base;

Zhao Paner took Chu Xiong's hint and mobilized her frequently. She had already submitted applications to the organization. Chu Xiong was not worried about her at all. She was now a double agent.

"It's okay, we are all our own people. She knows what can be photographed and what cannot be photographed."

Chen Erxi stopped talking when he heard that his people were there, and directly led them to inspect the tunnels in the village. Chu Xiong took a general look and found that there were main tunnels, secondary tunnels, ones for storing grain, some for hiding livestock, and some used for hiding.

The large cave that hides the elderly and children is very open inside and has complete living facilities. It is equipped with anti-virus, anti-smoke, waterproof, fire-proof, anti-suffocation and other mechanisms.

Once inside, it's like entering an underground secret palace. There is a gate of life and a gate of death. There are a lot of traps and even mines buried in the passage of the death gate. The passages inside lead in all directions and can lead to every household;

There are more than a dozen real and fake exits, the vents are connected to the outside, the exits are very hidden, there are shooting holes for easy combat, etc. It is a little interesting. The wisdom of the masses is really endless. Chu Xiong just mentioned his thoughts.

, within a few months, the fellow villagers turned them into reality.

"Captain, we are also digging tunnels in the mountains. Within half a year at most, there will be an underground secret palace in the mountains!"

Aaliyah was completely dumbfounded and couldn't help but sigh, the Chinese nation is really amazing!

Then, Chen Erxi took them to inspect the mine-making workshop. There were many kinds of mines, including mine-trapping, mine-mixing, time-delay mines, tripping mines, etc. They all used clay pots or pig iron pots uniformly made by the ceramic factory in the base area, and the gunpowder was produced by themselves.

Black gunpowder and some picric acid explosives all use picric acid explosives, and the production cannot keep up.

In the evening, they checked the militia training again, and it turned out to be much better than the last time they came here. They were able to use the three-by-three tactics;

In addition to militia training, there were literacy classes and women's rescue activities in the evening. The gunpowder team began to make gunpowder, and the tunnel digging team continued to dig tunnels. Only in the evening did the whole village become active, and almost all villagers participated, including children.

…

"Kid, what did you knock this for?"

Under Zhao Pan'er's teaching, Aaliya's Chinese became more and more fluent, with a bit of a local accent. When she saw a child breaking porcelain pieces with a stone, she asked curiously.

"Fight the devil, are you a devil?"

After the child finished speaking, he looked at her warily.

"No, I am Eighth Route Army!"

The child immediately became happy when he heard this. He showed a sweet smile to Aaliyah and said in a sweet voice:

"Sister Balu, you are so beautiful!"
