Today is April 10, 1939 in the Gregorian calendar.
Shanzi made a preliminary judgment that the Japanese army may choose to launch a second attack on the independent regiment later this month.
After breakfast, Yumei and Zhao Danian received the notice and came to the regiment headquarters one after another.
Shanzi first suggested that Xiaoru and Shizi accompany Xiaolin and rush to Linshui tomorrow to meet with Cheng Xiaoying to find out the specific date of the Japanese army's attack on the Independence Regiment.
After listening to Shanzi's arrangements, Yumei said: "Zikai, Xiaolin's mother and I have many things in common. Please allow me to go to Linshui and accompany Xiaolin to meet Cheng Xiaoying."
Shanzi said: "Your mission is more important than going to Linshui. After the meeting, write a personal letter to Cheng Xiaoying in your own name. You are engaged in politics. You should know how to write."
Yumei smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, Zikai. I will definitely write the letter well."
Zhao Danian went on to say: "The Japanese army attacked the Independent Regiment for the second time. If we really don't remember the pain, we will send out planes again. Should we fight or hide? This should have been planned in advance."
Shanzi said: "The plan was in the first defense battle. This time it is nothing more than preparation in advance. Increase the anti-aircraft firepower several times. Completely destroy its majesty. It will never dare to fly to the independent group again."
Zhao Danian made another suggestion. In addition to lesbians, sharpshooters can be selected from the entire regiment. The large guns can be added to the anti-aircraft firepower. Once the enemy planes are flying at low altitude, the firepower density can be increased to improve the hit rate.
Shanzi immediately made three decisions...
All the special operations teams are sharpshooters. Except for the third team stationed at Huanglang Mountain, the first to second teams and reserve members all join the air defense team.
Starting tomorrow, the first to third battalions will suspend training and use live ammunition target shooting to select outstanding riflemen.
After the formation of the air defense team was completed, Zhao Danian and the three battalion commanders set up air defense positions. At the same time, they conducted concentrated air defense simulation exercises before the Japanese attack.
Yumei interrupted at this time: "Zikai, Deputy Commander Zhao. Since it is a simulation exercise, I have an idea. I don't know if it is feasible."
Shanzi said: "As long as it works, it doesn't matter."
Yumei smiled again and continued: "In order to get closer to actual combat, it is best to disperse the air defense team members who use rifles to the mountains and forests. Use rifles to aim at flying birds and practice sight tracking and reaction capabilities."
After listening to Yumei's advice, Shanzi's eyes flashed. He slapped the desk and stood up suddenly: "You are truly worthy of a talented woman. With this move, I will go hunting later and treat you to a hare."
Zhao Danian said: "Captain Wang, borrowing from Political Commissar Jiang's trick, I will make another request. Allow the air defense team to shoot at flying birds from a long distance."
Shanzi went on to say: "Plant one grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand millet grains in autumn. It's worth it."
After saying that, Shanzi called Xiao Liu and told Xiao Liu to go and inform Xiao Ru and Xiao Lin. Ask them to come to the regiment headquarters to accept the mission and be ready to rush to Linshui.
After arranging all the matters, Shanzi made an appointment with Yumei to the office alone.
Yumei asked: "Zikai, why did you call me?"
Shanzi asked back: "Has Xiaomei ever taken the initiative to find you to report her and Xiaolong's affairs to you?"
Yumei said: "Xiaomei has never approached me. I have approached her twice, asking her if I could settle the engagement. But she always said she would wait."
Shanzi said: "I heard from Xiaolong that Xiaomei was very enthusiastic during the first few dates. But later on, she seemed to deliberately alienate Xiaolong and always found excuses to refuse dates."
Yumei then asked: "Did Xiaolong say why?"
Shanzi continued: "Xiaolong is also puzzled. He doesn't know why."
Yumei frowned and nodded, and offered to find Xiaomei to find out the situation.

Xiaomei's dormitory and office is right next to the regiment headquarters. It is only three doors away from Shanzi's office.
Pushing open the door of Xiaomei's office, Xiaomei was seen immersed in organizing manuscripts.
When she saw Yumei coming over, Xiaomei immediately guessed what she meant.
Sure enough, she sat down from the chair on the side of the desk. Yumei got straight to the point: "Mei Fang, I don't think a month has passed. It's time for you and Xiaolong to come to an end."
Xiaomei smiled bitterly: "Sister Mei, I'm sorry that you are always worried about this matter. Last night, Battalion Commander Xu sent Battalion Commander Li and Sister Yanni to come here. They also urged me. But I can't make up my mind."
Yumei thought thoughtfully and asked: "Then tell me why you can't make up your mind. Is there any shortcoming in Xiaolong that makes you disgusted?"
Xiaomei shook her head numbly: "To tell you the truth, Battalion Commander Xu is lovable in every aspect. Especially after hearing about his legendary combat experience, it makes me even more respectable and admirable."
Although Yumei nodded, she said: "Xiaomei, please forgive me for speaking so bluntly. I believe that Battalion Commander Xu must have shortcomings and shortcomings. Otherwise, you would not refuse to date him."
Xiaomei bit her lip lightly and kept her head down in silence.
Yumei was moved: "Mei Fang, the eldest sister came to you this time. She just wants to hear your true words. If there is anything unsatisfactory about Xiaolong, just tell him. I will help you find him a job."
Xiaomei finally raised her head and her face turned red: "Sister Mei, there is something really hard to say. But if I don't say it, I'm afraid you will misunderstand me. I would like to ask you, are you dating Captain Wang? Is the Captain also intimate with you?"
Yumei also blushed, but only for a moment. What followed was a lament: "Meifang, your question involves personal privacy. The eldest sister refuses to answer."
Xiaomei's face became even more rosy: "Sister Mei, please don't misunderstand me. I brought this matter up because I have never been in love. Let you comment on right and wrong."
Yumei said: "If I have to tell right from wrong, then I will tell the truth. During the relationship, as long as both parties clarify the marriage relationship, there is nothing wrong with moderate intimacy. This is the expression of love."
Xiaomei bit her lip again. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "But I always felt that it was unseemly to do that. I always thought that the other party was playing a gangster. Because of this, I didn't have the courage to agree to marry Captain Xu. I was even more afraid of dating him."
After hearing Xiaomei's confession, Yumei stood up and opened the door. She called Xiaofeng to rush to the training ground of the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company. She notified Yanni to come to Xiaomei's office as soon as possible.
In about ten minutes, Yanni followed Xiao Feng to the Youth League Department. Xiao Feng consciously stayed behind. Yanni walked directly into Xiaomei's office.
As soon as her left foot was aligned with her right foot, Yanni said to Yumei: "Sister Yumei, I was walking on the road just now, and my head suddenly opened up. It was Battalion Commander Xu who was determined to be evil, and he let go of Xiaoru. That's why Xiaomei refused to date."
Xiaomei said: "That's nonsense. I'm not like that."
While talking, Xiaomei gave the chair to Yanni and then sat down from the edge of the bed.
Just as Yanni put her round and fat buttocks on the chair, she turned her eyes to Xiaomei again: "Mei Fang, in front of Yumei today, you must explain clearly what is the reason why you refused to date."
Xiaomei's face turned red again: "I won't tell you."
Yanni wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Yumei: "Yanni, there is something involving your privacy. Ordinarily others should not ask. But in order to dispel Mei Fang's doubts, you must answer truthfully."
Yanni smiled and nodded: "Don't say such intrusive words. The places where you are afraid of people are covered by clothes. There is no privacy. Just ask whatever you want to ask."
Yumei asked: "You are dating Battalion Commander Li. Is Battalion Commander Li intimate with you?"
Yanni was stunned for a moment and asked Yumei weirdly: "What's wrong with the intimacy? He is my fiancé. I am his fiancée. You didn't make a mistake, right?"
Yumei turned her eyes and looked at Xiaomei: "You have heard what Mei Fang and Yanni said. Lovers are intimate. No matter who takes the initiative, it is not wrong. You should face it correctly."
From Yumei's advice, Yanni understood the whole story: "Sister Xiaomei, I finally understand. It turns out that this is what happened. Is it worth it?"
Yanni burst into laughter and continued, "What do you mean by a couple? A couple means being intimate. Being intimate means a couple. As long as you don't let him cross the warning line before getting married, let him do whatever he likes."
Yumei said: "Although Mei Fang and Yanni's words are vulgar, they are in line with common sense. My opinion is, don't delay a lifelong good relationship because of your old-fashioned thinking. Please think about it again and give me an answer as soon as possible."
Yanni suddenly stood up and babbled angrily: "Stop it. What else is there to consider? I declare that from now on, Xu Xiaolong and Mei Fang will officially become husband and wife. That's it."
Xiaomei's cheeks turned red and she acquiesced to Yanni's declaration with a shy smile.
