Chapter 1060: Military and Civilian Blending
Chen Liang, the chief of the Investigation Section of the Eighth Route Army's Jinnan headquarters, also wanted to use this relationship to appear in Pingmin County in the future, and he could obtain further contact with the local government under the banner of Leiyun Peak or Hou Sheng, the two military command supervisors.
He found Hou Sheng and Fang Shichao and asked tentatively: "Two officers, when I was about to board the ship, Chief Lei ordered me to follow the two officers to deal with the local government. He also ordered me to cross the river to Pingmin County through this recommendation, and asked me to take the initiative to find the government to seek some urgently needed money, grain and other materials to support the frontline."
Both Hou Sheng and Fang Shichao knew that the important task of raising money and grain on both sides of the Yellow River recently fell on the shopkeeper "Dong Liang" who had just been rescued from Yongji City by Leiyun Peak and had been traveling in Qinshui and other places for many years to operate medicinal materials.
Moreover, during this important task, the shopkeeper "Dong Liang" worked very hard. Not only did he promptly solve the logistics supply of the Cheetah Commando in Hanyang Town, but what surprised them was that this "Dong Liang" actually mobilized the villagers of Pingmin County to actively support the front.
This not only solved the logistics supply of the Cheetah Commando, but also brought a large amount of cooked food to the teaching team that was stuck in Xinzhuang, solving the worries of the teaching team.
At this time, the two of them heard Chen Liang say this and not only smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Dong Liang has recently traveled to and from both sides of the Yellow River and raised a large number of cooked food for the front line for the troops. He has made great contributions. Since Boss Lei makes such arrangements, we will definitely cooperate with your work."
Chen Liang didn't expect the two commanders to be so easy to speak, and he couldn't help but continue with gratitude: "Two commanders, we don't know when we will have an emergency task. Should we go to visit relevant local government personnel this morning?"
"Okay, wait until dawn, I will take you to visit these officials in the back to see how they will deal with us." After Fang Shichao finished speaking, he leaned back and sat down against the wall, and immediately started to snore.
Dawn came soon, and some early farmers brought farm tools to the fields to do some farm work before breakfast.
When they opened the street door, they found the soldiers sitting on the ground leaning against the door panel, suddenly lay on their backs and rolled into the yard, screaming and quickly retreating.
The cheetah commando team members who were opened and flashed into the yard were not as arrogant as other soldiers. They stood up and savagely insulted. Instead, they slapped the dust on their bodies and said embarrassedly, "Membersman, didn't scare you, right?"
"No, no, I don't know which team you are, why don't you stay at the people's houses, but sit on the cold ground and sleep all night? I really don't know what to say about this, are you, yes..."
This fellow villager originally wanted to say whether this army that loved the people was an Eighth Route Army, but when he saw the soldier's uniform standing in front of him, he immediately stopped and stared at the soldiers in surprise and looked up and down.
"Hehe, brother, we are a cheetah commando from Hanyang Town on the east bank of the Yellow River. Because we arrived in Fumin Village almost midnight, the commander ordered not to disturb the people and to sleep on the streets on the spot."
"Ah? You mean that your team is a Cheetah Commando. Is the biggest leader who leads your team the surname Lei?"
"Yes, brother, I didn't expect that the commander Leiyun Peak, who is famous on the western front of the Tiaoshan War Zone on the east bank of the Yellow River, would be legendary among the people on the west bank of the Yellow River. It seems that our commander Lei, the anti-Japanese hero who fought bloody battles with the enemy, has been passed to you."
"My goodness, it's really the team of Chief Lei. Today I saw the troops brought by this great hero, which was exactly like the style of the Eighth Route Army..."
"Hey, hey, this big brother can't say that. Our Chief Lei is the captain of the Western Route Army Supervision Team sent by the Military Command to the Zhongtiaoshan War Zone. His main task is to supervise the local military and civilians..."
"Okay, OK, I didn't have a door-to-door in my mouth for a while. I didn't say anything. Please don't report me, please."
"Hey, although our Chief Lei is the imperial envoy sent by the Military Order to Zhongtiao Mountain, we didn't think that he was a spy chief of the Military Control Commission at the beginning, and he must be very insidious. I didn't expect that he was a good commander who loved soldiers like brothers. However, you should be careful in your speech in the future and beware of others."
"Thank you, thank you brother for your reminder. Since this brother has been sleeping in front of my house for a night, he must be cold and hungry at this time. Come into the house and ask my wife to make some hot and simple food for you to warm your body."
"No, our army is disciplined. If you enter the home of a fellow villager without authorization, you will be punished for discipline. You should go out quickly and I will go out now." The soldier said and walked out.
The fellow villager of this family was surprised to see that the troops brought out by the famous Leiyun Peak actually had such strict discipline.
He didn't know that before the crossing of Leiyun Peak, he was an outstanding comrade who was the most noble faith and worked hard for his life, traveling to this era that was ravaged by the Japanese army. In order to use his current identity to better fight against Japan and kill enemies on the battlefield, he repeatedly wanted to contact the underground party.
However, in order to better protect one's identity, we have been persuading ourselves to be in the most hidden working state for the time being, and to use our strong identity as a cover to make more arduous assistance to the underground party.
When he sneaked into Shanghai, he obtained the top secret information that the Japanese army was going to search for underground organizations, and notified the underground party organizations in the most secret way, avoiding the disaster of repeated damage to underground organizations.
Leiyun Peak only successfully established a foothold in the West Route Army in the Zhongtiaoshan War Zone, and the troops it led strictly regulated the behavior of the troops in accordance with the Eighth Route Army's military governance ideas.
Although Lei Yunfeng did not know whether there were underground party members working in the team, he could feel from several people that the 54th Regiment he once led and the current Cheetah Commando must have underground party comrades doing the secret work he should do just like him.
At this time, the people of Fumin Village knew that a team entered the village at night, but did not harass the villagers and actually slept on the streets.
When they walked out of the house, they saw some soldiers sitting on the ground and were still sleeping. They not only couldn't bear to drag the soldiers back home, but also made them a bowl of simple food to warm their bodies.
This is the first time that Hou Sheng has seen the local people support their soldiers so much. He not only said with deep emotion: "In the past, just hearing the commanders of the troops say how rude the people were, but he didn't expect our people to love their soldiers so much."
Fang Shichao said: "Brother Hou, it's not that the people make things difficult for the soldiers in the army, but that some of our troops are not strictly controlled. Whenever they go to a place, they either smash and loot or harm the big girls and young wives. This has caused such great resentment and estrangement between the military and the civilians."
"I heard that the Eighth Route Army passed by the village without any offense, and was very supportive of the people. Could it be that these people also regard us as the Eighth Route Army and welcome us so much?"
"Brother Hou, the soldiers in the army are all from every family. Before they joined the army, many of them were good families. It was the commanders of some of our troops who led these common people to break the brothers. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, and this is the reason."
Chen Liang, who was standing aside, heard the two commanders say this, afraid of causing trouble for Lei Yunfeng, so he quickly turned to the front and reminded him: "Two commanders, the people in the village are so friendly to the soldiers of the army. Once the Shangfeng knows the distorted facts, it may cause great trouble to Chief Lei. Why don't we take the troops out of the village?"
