Chapter 537: Grain Clears the Way
After the party committee meeting was held, all the proposals submitted to the meeting were adopted by collective decision-making, and the number of party committee members was temporarily adjusted to 5 people.
Political Commissar: Gao Wancheng
Leader: Chu Xiong
Deputy Head and Head of Joint Logistics Division: Liu Xingguo
Advisor: Zhong Guoliang
Director of the Political Department: Wang Junjie
Chu Dapeng was promoted to the commander of the fourth battalion. Yan Haoyu will no longer concurrently serve as the commander of the fourth battalion. There will be no adjustments to the personnel of other battalions for the time being.
50% of the seized equipment and materials will be handed over to the headquarters, including:
30 artillery pieces of various types, 6,000 long and short guns, 10 radio stations, 300 military horses, 300 mules and horses, 10 cars, 800,000 rounds of bullets, 1,200 rounds of various artillery shells, 20,000 grenades, gold, silver dollars, etc. equivalent to silver dollars
About 100,000 yuan, request the headquarters to send troops to receive it.
It is planned to establish the Liu Town Anti-Japanese Democratic Government. Its jurisdiction includes the Liu Town base area and 6 peripheral base areas such as Qinglong Mountain. It has a population of about 200,000 and an area equivalent to more than one county. The area covers most of the rural and township areas of two counties.
, fortunately, they were all connected, and only two county towns and some transportation points were still under the control of the Japanese.
The local administrative cadres of the government plan to apply for support from the headquarters, and the application for establishing a democratic government in Liu Town will be submitted to the headquarters for approval after being approved by the party committee;
In terms of local government management, the independent group lacks relevant cadre reserves, and this can only be solved through organization;
At the same time, it is also to separate the military and political affairs. The independent regiment will only focus on fighting, and all local affairs will be handed over to the democratic government. In this regard, the organization has enough successful experience.
One day later, at the headquarters, the deputy staff officer excitedly handed the telegram sent by the Party Committee of the Independent League to the boss. The boss was also very excited after reading it and loudly praised "Good!":
"This kid Chu Xiong seems to have made a fortune. The equipment and supplies handed over this time have solved a big problem for the headquarters!
800,000 rounds of ammunition alone are enough for us to fight a large-scale battle. The gold and silver dollars are equivalent to 100,000 silver dollars. The economic problems of the headquarters this year have also been solved. The equipment handed over is enough to arm five regiments! Good! Very good
Good!! Rewards should be given!”
It is really difficult for the boss to praise someone. After praising someone, he continued to ask the assistant counselor:
"This batch of supplies is very large. Regarding the issue of safe receipt, please tell me your opinions!"
"Boss, in this counter-mopping up, the ammunition consumption of each regiment is relatively large. Three new regiments have been formed. There is a huge equipment gap. I suggest that He Wei lead a main battalion of the 28th regiment to escort these three regiments.
Liu Zhen went to pick up the installation on the spot;
There won't be much supplies left. We can load them onto 10 trucks and march back overnight to avoid unnecessary losses from being bombed by Japanese planes. That's 30 cannons, 10 radios and a lot of cash.
.”
After hearing this, the boss agreed very much. It was very good to accept this plan on the spot. Three groups went there empty-handed, and when they came back, there were three Japanese weapons groups!
In addition to cannons and artillery shells, the remaining supplies can be carried by the men and horses of the three regiments. As for the army horses and mules, it is easier to deal with them;
There are not so many cavalry, but there are still hundreds of warriors who can ride horses. After being received and trained for a period of time, they will become a cavalry battalion!
"The deputy counselor and the headquarters of the Independent Youth League Party Committee all agreed to the application, and 50 cadres with rich local work experience were transferred to support Liu Town;
We need to put up the framework of the local government as soon as possible, with Comrade Gao Wancheng concurrently serving as the secretary of the government, and the county magistrate being dispatched by the organization. These people will just go with the receiving troops, and safety issues can be guaranteed."
The boss dealt with the problem vigorously and resolutely, and quickly finalized the solution, and the deputy counselor immediately implemented it according to the chief's request.
A week later, He Wei and others traveled at night and arrived in Liuzhen safely in two days. Gao Wancheng, Chu Xiong and others greeted them from afar and greeted each other:
"Old leader, why bother to do this yourself?"
After Gao Wancheng finished speaking, he shook hands with He Wei warmly. Gao Wancheng was from the 28th Regiment, and the relationship between the two was not ordinary. He Wei said half-jokingly:
"Lao Gao, just know that I have worked hard, and I still have to pay for the hard work. I heard that old boy Li Tiejun came over, and you gave away a lot of good things!
I have brought a main force battalion here this time, you can do whatever you want."
Gao Wancheng was speechless upon hearing this, and quickly pushed this big trouble to Chu Xiong:
"This Lao Chu has the final say, you go to Lao Chu!"
"Lao Gao, don't do this. Our leader He is joking with you and you still take it seriously. That's all you have to do to be a big brother."
Chu Xiong began to sing a double act with 20,000 Cheng, but there was nothing he could do. It was all because Li Tiejun was so cruel last time that the landlord's family had no overnight food.
It's a pity that He Wei doesn't accept this trick. His face, like Li Tiejun's, has been tested by revolution for a long time. If you expect them to be embarrassed, just wait. In front of equipment, how much is face worth?
"Chu Xiong, please stop blocking me with your mouth. Brother, I won't do this! I know that old boy Li Tiejun is ruthless, but you are not a light-hearted person. He is your brother from Dabie Mountain, am I not?
Li Tiejun, the old boy, eats more and takes more. I also understand you. For the rocket shells and explosive packs, just give me half according to his standards! As for grenades, bullets, machine guns, and small cannons, just give me according to Lao Li's standards."
Chu Xiong was about to faint on the spot. With one strike, he emptied all the rocket shells and explosive packets in the base area. It was like having back eyes, which were not lamps of oil.
"Okay, I've already opened my mouth, and I'll make it up for you even if I'm trying to sell iron!"
He Wei laughed loudly when he heard this and said:
"Chu Xiong, I know you won't treat me favorably. Besides, I'm much kinder than Li Tiejun, right?"
What else could Chu Xiong say besides nodding and saying yes? He swung his knives faster than anyone else.
"Come, Commander Chu and Political Commissar Gao, let me introduce you to you."
He Wei introduced the three regiment leaders who were going to receive the equipment to Chu Xiong and others. After being polite to each other, they invited them to the regiment headquarters for dinner together;
Several regimental commanders from the fraternal armies came over. The landlord friendship of the independent regiment still had to be fulfilled, so the resettlement and reception of the troops was left to Zhong Guoliang.
I won’t elaborate too much on the familiarity of eating and drinking. The three regiment commanders are all former battalion commanders of the main battalion, and they are all old men of the Fourth Army;
After all, they are all people who have friendships. It is just to establish a relationship, so that next time I come back, I can swing the knife at Chu Xiong!
Nowadays, Chu Xiong is well-known among the Eighth Route Army regiments as a "local rich man", and everyone wants to "kill" him - whenever they have the opportunity, they will swing their sword at him.
After eating and drinking, we started to receive equipment. The troops of the three regiments all came empty-handed. When they left, they were all equipped with Japanese weapons, chicken necks, crooked handles, three big lids, small cannons, tortoise boxes, etc.
Everything is included, including a helmet, a marching bag, an armed belt and three bullet boxes, one set for each person!
It’s true that a man relies on his equipment and a horse relies on his saddle. When the three regiments put on the full set of Japanese equipment, their temperament immediately came out;
There were almost thousands of farmers before entering the base area. After changing their equipment, the three main regiments came out with complete guns and artillery. After passing through Anping City, the Anping garrison was probably frightened and asked for tactical guidance!
The three regiment leaders looked at the three "main regiments" with all their members, and they were so happy that they were so happy that they had no choice but to accept the deputy staff member's plan of picking up the troops on the spot. He was so talented!
If 800,000 rounds of ammunition are taken by more than 4,000 people, each person will receive less than 200 rounds;
There were 6,000 long and short guns, less than 2 per person, and grenades, small cannons, etc. were easily taken down.
30 cannons and extra supplies are loaded into ten cars, plus 300 mules and horses to carry some. The 300 horses can be ridden if they can ride, and they can be led if they can't ride. Everyone will replenish them.
The 3-day fried noodles method has been extended to these groups.
In order to avoid the Japanese plane, we chose to leave at night, and the task of handing over supplies was successfully completed.
The 50 local cadres in the headquarters support base area also completed the handover. He Wei's task was completed perfectly. In order to facilitate the 28th Regiment to carry the supplies obtained from the independent regiment, Chu Xiong gave him an additional 50 mules and horses. He was very happy.
Wei held Chu Xiong's hand and didn't want to leave.
"Captain He, it's getting late. You hurry up and hurry up. You have a mission, so I won't leave you alone. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. See you next time!"
"Okay, Commander Chu, Political Commissar Gao, see you next time, remember to store more rockets!"
"Captain He, no problem, remember to bring some more scrap copper and iron to exchange. One thing for another, no kidding!"
He Wei naturally knew that copper and iron were needed to produce artillery shells, and Chu Xiong couldn't do magic. After returning, he mobilized his troops to scrape the rails, collect scrap metal, and recycle the shells, so that the particles could be returned to the warehouse. Of course, this is a story later.
"Take care of yourself!"
"Take care of yourself!"
After cherishing each other's feelings, the thousands of troops who completed the reassembly left Liu Town in a mighty manner.
"Lao Gao, have you seen it? There are thousands of troops again!"
Chapter completed!
