The villagers were both curious and shocked after mysteriously disappearing for several years and suddenly reappearing.
Throughout the morning, people came to see Shanzi one after another.
It was not until lunch time that Shanzi had time to return to the ancestral hall.
That afternoon, Shanzi summoned Yumei and Zhao Danian to discuss matters.
In terms of age, Zhao Danian and Shanzi are three years older, so Shanzi should be called the eldest brother.
Just as Yumei sat down, Shanzi got straight to the point——
In order to facilitate flexible movement and concealment, after the independent battalion was established, it was stationed in three camps in a triangle on the Qiaonan border, one at Oak Slope and the other at Yukou Mountain.
The base camp of the Independent Battalion is located in Quanquanling, Heya Village.
Shanzi went on to say that Zhao Danian would be responsible for the planning of the camp and organize the construction as soon as possible. Planning for the base camp construction would begin immediately. After the planning was completed, Yumei would be responsible for organizing the construction.
Regarding the construction of the camp, Zhao Danian did not raise any objections.
But regarding the Qing Dynasty’s suppression of Bailong Village and Guangde Temple, Zhao Danian said——
The first task of the task force is to form an independent battalion. At present, the independent battalion has no character. If it goes out rashly, the Japanese will definitely take action, which will be very detrimental to the formation work.
After listening to Zhao Danian's opinion, Shanzi took a sip of boiled water: "Brother Zhao, tell me, even if the independent battalion is established tonight, where will the guns and ammunition come from?"
Zhao Danian's answer was simple, of course, it would be distributed by the detachment.
When Shanzi heard this, he threw down the teapot: "I'm telling you, Vice Captain Zhao, how can you stand and talk without pain in your back? There are nearly a thousand brothers in the four detachments without guns. You, the guard company commander, don't know this, right?"
?”
Zhao Danian thought for a long time, but still insisted on his own point of view——
The top priority is to form an independent battalion as soon as possible. As for guns and ammunition, we will slowly figure out a way later. You can't just eat everything in one go.
Shanzi has always hated formalism, so he said Huo Bengbeng, "I'm sorry, I am a monkey, and I am impatient by nature. I insist on eating a big fat man in one bite. Now it is officially announced that the clean-up operation will be carried out unconditionally."
Because it was his first time working with Shan Zi, Zhao Danian couldn't stand Shan Zi's violence and stood up angrily: "Captain Wang, as your brother, it is necessary to remind you today that Political Commissar Chen sent me to the task force just to restrain your tyranny and arbitrary behavior.
, I hope you will consider it carefully."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Zi also stood up, his neck muscles bulging like straw ropes: "Zhao Danian, don't use people named Chen as tiger skins. Not to mention political commissar Chen, even if Captain Xiong is here, Wang Zikai will still do the same."
Yumei finally lost her temper and said with a smile: "Zikai, as an Eighth Route Army soldier, how can you be so rude to your colleagues? Please apologize to Brother Zhao."
Shanzi suddenly turned to Yumei, his eyes almost popping out of his head: "Jiang Yumei, I can tell you that your task is to build independent barracks, and you don't need to interfere with the task force."
Faced with Shanzi's arrogance, Yumei didn't care. Since settling in Heya Village, she has gradually become accustomed to Shanzi's arrogance and stubbornness. Even after being slapped by Shanzi, she still walked home hand in hand.
The more Zhao Danian thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and out of anger he simply invited Yumei to go to Quanquan Ridge to plan the camp.
Yumei just stood up, but was stopped by Shanzi: "Yumei, once the construction of the base camp starts, we can't owe you a penny for the required materials. Later, you can send a message to Jinye's father, and he will bring 5,000 yuan as a gift tomorrow."
Landowners should contribute to the Anti-Japanese War."
Yumei was about to say something when Shanzi continued -
In order to maintain confidentiality, those participating in the camp construction must first be reliable in their thinking, secondly, register and file, and thirdly, have food and accommodation at the construction site, and materials must be transported at night.
Yumei thought for a moment, then asked in a consultative tone: "Zikai, although Jinye's father is a landlord, he is not a sinister person. Is it okay if I write an IOU?"
Shanzi said: "If it's an IOU, whoever pays it back will pay it back. That's it."
Yumei was stunned at this sentence and her face turned red.
…
In the blink of an eye, night came, and Shanzi was half lying on the bed, planning the details of tomorrow's action.
At this moment, Xiaolong came to report that there was a girl named Jinye outside the hospital for an appointment.
Upon hearing Jinye's appointment, Shanzi was excited inside but tried to remain calm on the surface.
Walking out of the ancestral hall alone, he saw Jin Ye biting his lips and keeping a sullen face without saying a word.
After a long silence, Shanzi asked: "Are you here?"
Jin Ye scolded: "Are you blind?"
Shanzi was scolded and felt suffocated: "Are you just standing like this?"
Jin Ye didn't say anything, turned around and took steps.
Shan Zi had a clear understanding and followed Jin Ye closely.
When they reached the northern section of the passage, Jinye suddenly turned around and headed straight for the pine forest on the east side.
Deep in the forest, Jinye slapped Shanzi's shoulders coldly, crying and scolding: "Stubborn boy, I thought you were eaten alive by a wolf, but I didn't expect you to come back."
Shanzi remained silent, but shed tears.
Stopping crying, Jin Ye asked: "Where have you been in the past few years?"
Shanzi said: "Didn't Yumei tell you everything?"
Jin Ye scolded again: "Stubborn son, you can tell Yumei about your matter, but why can't you tell me in person?"
Shan Zi was speechless and held Jin Ye's hand.
Jin Ye continued to nag: "Now that you have a good eye, you can choose girls from ten miles and eight villages. Maybe Yumei is waiting for you too. I must make it clear now. Does the hookup we have played count?"
Shan Zi vowed again that he would never marry anyone else except Jin Ye.
Jin Ye's heart felt hot, and he couldn't help but open his arms and hug Shanzi tightly.
