The result of Master Zhang's discussion far exceeded Shan Zi's expectations. Only bullets and medicines were given at a 50% discount.
Even so, Shan Zi still had a long face: "Mr. Zhang, please forgive me for being rude. Our cooperation is for the great cause of the war of resistance in the overall sense. In part, it is to protect the defense line for your national army. But on your side Talk about cooperation and bargain on the other side. This is no different from profiteers. How can we cooperate like this?"
Teacher Zhang said: "Captain Wang said something harsh. Please listen to my humble explanation."
Shanzi said: "Mr. Zhang does not need to explain. Please allow me to finish what I have to say. You are right. Stand high and see far. I hope that Mr. Zhang will take a long-term view and look back. When the Japanese invaders are driven out of China, you and I will still be here." You should understand what it means to be a soldier in the same world."
Upon hearing Shanzi's suggestion, Commander Zhang and Commander Bao agreed at the same time, frowning in deep thought.
After a while, Commander Zhang beamed with joy: "Captain Wang is indeed very smart. Heroes think alike. In this case, let's give the humble job a face. Bullets and medicines will be discounted at 20%."
Although Shanzi was excited inside, he pretended to be serious on the surface and slowly agreed to the other party's request.
Commander Zhang went on to say that in order to facilitate communication, after returning from Circle Ridge, he immediately instructed the Telecommunications Department to prepare a special code book. It is only for the use of the Independent Regiment, Coastal Headquarters, and Xincheng Garrison Regiment.
After half an hour of negotiation, all military aid supplies were transported to Quanquanling in three batches. Steel bars and cement will be delivered in advance three days later. All other arms supplies will be delivered within half a month.
Finally, Commander Bao proposed that Shanzi and Commander Zhang should write the letter and sign from the meeting minutes and the military aid list.
Seeing as it was still early, Shanzi took the initiative to invite Mr. Zhang to visit Huanglang Mountain.
At this moment, a sentry rushed into the regiment headquarters and reported to Shanzi...
More than a dozen young and middle-aged men gathered at the No. 2 cordon. The leader, whose surname was Liu, was a young daughter-in-law. She claimed to be leading everyone to join the independent group.
When Shanzi heard about the daughter-in-law's surname Liu, she immediately understood. This daughter-in-law's name was Liu Cuiyun. She was a comfort woman who was rescued by the Independence Group before the Spring Festival.
Thinking of this, Shanzi instructed Yumei and Zhao Danqian to meet Liu Cuiyun.
About half an hour later, Liu Cuiyun, accompanied by Yumei and Zhao Danian, led a dozen young and middle-aged men to appear in front of the regiment department.
At this time, Shanzi and Xiaoru had already walked out of the regiment headquarters. Teacher Zhang and his party were also watching.
Introduced by Liu Cuiyun...
In order to thank the Independence Group for saving their lives, the rescued women voluntarily mobilized their families, relatives and friends to join the Independence Group to fight the Japanese. A total of 323 people were recruited to join the Independence Group.
Liu Cuiyun went on to say...
Because there are many people and big targets, it is easy to attract people's attention. They work in groups of more than ten people and go on their way separately. The distance between them is less than five miles. They all arrive at Quanquanling Ridge this evening.
As early as when she was rescued in Mengcheng, Liu Cuiyun learned from the conversation that the Eighth Route Army recruited very few female soldiers. Most of them were targeted at recruiting medical and nursing personnel. Especially for married women, they did not meet the requirements.
So Liu Cuiyun took the initiative and introduced her own expertise first.
It turns out that Liu Cuiyun was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine. She followed her father to learn medicine and treat diseases since she was a child. Among them, "Liu's Jiegu Powder and Jiushang Powder" are miraculous in treating various fractures, bruises and other injuries.
There are another 56 girls who were rescued and decided to join the independent group out of revenge.
After listening to Liu Cuiyun's introduction, Shanzi instructed Zhao Danian to seize the time to set up tents and prepare bedding for everyone's temporary rest and accommodation.
At the same time, Shanzi instructed Yumei to work with the Military Affairs Office to register and examine those who joined the army one by one.
After arranging relevant matters, Shanzi and Xiaoru accompanied Mr. Zhang and his party to visit Huanglang Mountain.

We returned to the camp from Huanglang Mountain. It was just past ten o'clock.
Mr. Zhang is in Xiaolong's dormitory. At this time, he is having a secret meeting with Commander Bao.
Captain Bao sighed and said, "I didn't expect that a wandering Tuba Road could actually develop into an independent group of such a large scale. It's really amazing."
Teacher Zhang said: "The amazing thing is not the independent regiment, but Wang Zikai."
Commander Bao sighed again: "Yes. Today, there are too few young talents like Wang Zikai in our national army."
Commander Zhang took a deep puff of his cigarette: "So the theater headquarters has instructed us to win over Wang Zikai at all costs and by any means to serve the party and the country faithfully."
Commander Bao continued: "Master, more than 300 people from the enemy-occupied area of Lingjun Mountain have traveled thousands of miles to come to join the independent group. This makes me deeply ashamed of my humble position."
Teacher Zhang also sighed: "The right way is the world of those who win the hearts of the people. This is the tragedy of the party and the country."
Captain Bao was going to say something else. Suddenly he saw Xiaoru pushing the door open and entering.
As soon as he saw Xiaoru coming, Captain Bao stood up and left.
Xiaoru said: "Master, the conditions of the independent group are poor. You have been wronged."
Teacher Zhang said: "I can't speak of grievances. I just saw you again after a few years. I feel deeply guilty. I always feel sorry for you."
Xiao Ru smiled calmly: "To be honest, Ru Han never meant to blame you. Even if you deceived her, it was also in good faith. You don't need to make it difficult for her. From today on, just forget about that experience. Just pretend nothing happened.”
Mr. Zhang shook off the cigarette butt vigorously: "It's all the fault of that old witch."
Xiaoru sighed softly: "Is she okay now?"
Teacher Zhang gave a wry smile: "Not long after we were transferred to Binhai from Qiaonan, we rented a small building and lived alone."
Xiaoru was surprised: "Do you have anyone accompanying you?"
Teacher Zhang replied: "We are all alone. We are always together."
After hearing this, a touch of sadness appeared on Xiaoru's face.
Teacher Zhang suddenly asked: "Ru Han, do you plan to take root in the independent regiment?"
Xiaoru nodded deeply: "This is the real destination of life."
Teacher Zhang was attentive and silent. He took out a cigarette from his pocket with his right hand.
Xiaoru continued: "You will leave Circle Ridge after lunch. Ru Han does not intend to see you off because she will be sad in front of everyone and even shed tears for you when you leave."
Mr. Zhang was concentrating and clicked on the lighter. It was like puffing out smoke, and he was smoking heavily.

In the afternoon, I saw off Mr. Zhang and his party. Shanzi gave up his lunch break and had a meeting with Yumei and Zhao Danian.
After more than an hour of discussion, the meeting came to five decisions.
1. Organize construction immediately. Build an independent regiment regular hospital. All wards will be built in cave dwelling style.
2. After the hospital is built, the medical team will be abolished and health teams will be allocated to each company.
3. The independent regiment abolished the machine gun company and expanded it into four battalions. The original machine gun company was reorganized into the independent regiment's four battalions. Each battalion has a machine gun company and is equipped with twelve heavy machine guns.
4. The grenade launchers are equipped to regular companies. Each company is added to a grenade launcher squad and equipped with six grenade launchers.
5. Organize the newly recruited soldiers into three recruit companies. They will participate in training during the day and participate in political education and cultural studies at night. The recruit training is under the responsibility of the first battalion commander Song Yijie and is equipped with nine coaches.
Shanzi's final request was that the task of building the hospital be assigned to each company and must be completed within half a month.
Yumei asked: "Zikai, do you want to report the hospital and military aid matters to the detachment?"
Shanzi suddenly became angry: "If you think this is a mistake, please report it to the detachment immediately."
Suddenly, Yumei's heart seemed to be violently pulled by Shanzi. She was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
Zhao Danian was also angry: "Captain Wang, you have gone too far. Political Commissar Jiang is just asking for advice. Is it necessary to be so harsh to her?"
Shanzi raised his voice: "I'm telling you today by the way. No matter what you do from now on, as long as no one speaks against you, please don't use the report as your mantra. I'm annoyed."
At this moment, not only Yumei and Zhao Danian, but also Xiaomei buried his head deeply.
The atmosphere was awkward and dull for a long time. The confidential officer opened the door: "Report. Captain Chen of the detachment is calling."
Shanzi said: "Think about it."
The confidential officer began to read...
Wang Zikai learned that 20 condolences delegations from the Japanese government went to China to offer condolences to various Japanese-occupied areas.
The condolence delegation to Shandong has now arrived at the Lunan War Zone. It will be accompanied by the commander of the Miyamoto Division throughout the journey. The condolence time for each day-occupied area in the Linshui area has been determined. It will be from March 5th to 15th.
In order to stimulate the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the Shandong people, the detachment decided that when the condolences group arrived in Linshui, your regiment organized a capable force to assassinate Miyamoto and resolutely eliminate this executioner who massacred the Shandong people.
After listening to the telegram, Shanzi frowned and said to himself: "Today is February 25th."
Zhao Danian said: "Cut the beginning and end. There are only eight days until the condolences team arrives in Linshui."
Yumei said: "We should have gotten the plan early."
Shanzi said: "They don't even know their itinerary. How to get the plan."
Shanzi's attitude was indifferent. Yumei followed suit and said angrily: "Their itinerary is in the plan."
Shanzi continued: "Tomorrow Xiaoru and I will go to Linshui and contact Cheng Xiaoying."
As soon as the words came out, Yumei smiled: "As expected of the monkey. You can turn quickly. But if you go to Linshui, it won't be your share. It's mine and Xiaoru's."
When he heard that Yumei was going to Linshui, Shanzi became angry again: "The Independent Regiment has added hundreds of new soldiers. The political and religious work is more arduous than ever. As a political commissar, you cannot deviate from your own job."
Yumei said: "None of the comrades in the Political and Educational Department have an idle life. Without the political commissar, they can still do their work well and meticulously. This makes the league leaders feel at ease."
Shanzi drank some water and swallowed it: "You just sleep at home."
Yumei's face turned red. Huo Di stood up: "Wang Zikai, what do you mean by that?"
Shan Zi turned to look at Xiaomei and instructed Xiaomei to send a report to the detachment immediately.
The independent group ensures the completion of the mission.
Xiaomei stood up and left. Shanzi announced that the meeting was adjourned.
With tears in her eyes, Yumei walked out of the regiment angrily.
Shanzi just took steps forward, but was kept by Zhao Danian.

Zhao Danian was talking to Shan Zi. Xiao Feng burst into Shan Zi's office out of breath.
Just listen to Xiao Feng crying and saying: "Commander, please go and have a look. Sister Yumei cried as soon as she returned to the dormitory. She cried very hard. I couldn't persuade her."
Zhao Danian glared at Shanzi angrily: "Look. Look at the person who caused this."
Shanzi C took a scalp: "Brother Zhao, I have told you everything. You go and persuade her."
Zhao Danian sneered: "You can tell me these things. Why can't you tell Political Commissar Jiang face to face? You need to tie the bell to untie it. It's up to you."
After saying that, Zhao Danian raised his legs and walked out of the door.
I followed Xiao Feng into Yumei's dormitory. I saw Yumei lying on the desk, her whole body shaking because of violent sobbing.
"Sister Mei, the leader sees you coming."
With this announcement, Xiao Feng turned and left.
Shanzi was scratching his head again. While doing so, he looked for a seat and sat down awkwardly.
The sobs came one after another.
It took a lot of effort for Shanzi to open his lips: "Yumei, don't cry. I have told Deputy Commander Zhao everything I said. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Yumei suddenly raised her head and looked at Shanzi with tearful eyes: "Zikai, I understand that you hate Yumei. There is no need to explain. You can go."
Shanzi was astonished and asked in confusion: "Yumei, what do you mean by that?"
Yumei wiped her tears: "You know what I mean. Because Yumei was insulted by the dog agent."
It seems that he was bitten by Yumei. Shanzi's eyes were bloodshot. He stood up angrily: "Jiang Yumei, since it comes to this, I have only one sentence to tell you. You are asking for trouble."
After saying that, Shanzi's face was ashen and he strode out of the threshold.
Yumei concentrated for a moment and answered Zhao Danian's call from the office.
Zhao Danian hurried over and sat down on the chair opposite Yumei.
Yumei asked: "What did Deputy Commander Zhao and Zikai tell you?"
Zhao Danian asked back: "Didn't he tell you?"
Yumei smiled bitterly: "Just four words. You are asking for trouble."
Zhao Danian wondered: "What does this stubborn person mean?"
Yumei couldn't wait: "What on earth did Deputy Commander Zhao Zikai tell you?"
Zhao Daqing sighed: "Yumei, because of your arrest, Zikai seems to have a phobia. He is always afraid that something bad will happen to you when you go out. He even often has nightmares."
Although Zhao Danian's tone was calm, it was like a stream of heat rushing straight into Yumei's heart. Yumei couldn't help it, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
Zhao Danian continued: "Captain Wang swears to this. I would rather let you die on the battlefield with the large army. You will never be allowed to perform tasks alone."
Yumei shed tears and asked again: "Do you agree with Zikai going to Linshui?"
Zhao Danian said: "Is this possible? So many people come to join the independent regiment. If the regiment leader is not at home, it is disrespectful to the new soldiers. There are also a large number of military aid supplies arriving one after another. How can we leave?"
Yumei said: "These are all obvious things. But Zikai just doesn't understand."
Zhao Danian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm enlightened this time. I promised not to go to Linshui again. But I don't have your share yet. Let Xiaoru and Xiao Liu go. I think this is right. It is really too busy recently. No one in the group leader can be separated. open."
Because he was busy with construction assignments, Zhao Danian had just finished speaking and stood up to say goodbye hastily.
