Xu Yuqing nodded and asked, "Are you sure they will fly here?"
Zhang Fengshan pointed to the playground behind him. A lot of people gathered on it and said: "They will draw the enemy plane over. Let's conceal it and hit it by surprise. If it finds it, we won't be able to reach it after it is lifted up. ."
After choosing a position, the two men folded some branches and placed them on the gun body to cover them, and then lay down on the ground to aim, staring intently at the sky in front of them.
Sure enough, two enemy planes flew one after the other to the station of the academy. The leading enemy plane pilot saw that there were many people on the playground, and instead of preparing to drop bombs, they used heavy machine guns, so they flew very low. Zhang Fengshan felt that the belly of the plane was fast. Pasted on the top of the tree. At a distance of about 300 meters, Zhang Fengshan took the lead to shoot, and then Xu Yuqing's gun also rang, and two angry tongues of fire went straight to the enemy plane. The enemy pilot wanted to lift up, but it was too late. The plane dragged a long thick smoke over the mountain, fell into the distant bushes, and burst into flames. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other enemy plane hurriedly turned around and flew away.
The crowd cheered.
Zhang Fengshan also jumped up with excitement. He ran towards Xu Yuqing, hugged her tightly, and said loudly, "We made it!"
Xu Yuqing felt both surprised and happy. When she thought of her parents being killed by a devil’s plane, she was extremely excited. She hugged Zhang Fengshan and said, "Fengshan, you are amazing! I really didn’t expect that we could also hit the little devil’s plane. Come down."
Zhang Fengshan let go and said, "Go, let's take a look!"
When they climbed over the mountains and came to the place where the plane exploded, they saw fragments of the plane scattered on the ground, the nearby trees were charred, and the two bodies turned into charcoal. They were obviously the pilots and machine gunners of the devil. There were heavy machine guns on the nose and tail, one of which was deformed by the explosion.
Zhang Fengshan commanded the team to remove the machine gun and bring it back to the team.
Song Tiejun and Shi Yong came after hearing the news and wanted to hold a celebration meeting for the soldiers.
Song Tiejun instructed to immediately report to the provincial government and the Fifth Theater Command to report this record.
Shi Yong inscribed a picture to Zhang Fengshan on the spot: "But if the Dragon City Feijiang is here, he will not teach Huma to fight the Yinshan Mountain."
Song Tiejun clapped his hands and applauded, and said, "Counter Shi said on behalf of everyone that there is a'parachutist' like Captain Zhang. The little devil will not dare to fight Longwan again. We can sit back and relax. Tonight we have to Just get drunk and stop.
Shi Yong asked people to buy two pigs and a few jars of wine to reward the cadet.
Before the celebration banquet began, congratulatory messages from the provincial government and the Fifth Theater Command arrived. In the congratulatory messages, they praised the squadron's spirit of defying strong enemies and fighting bravely, and demanded that the seized heavy machine guns be handed in.
Zhang Fengshan was a little reluctant, and said, "Why should we give them the things we strike down? There are so many good things for devils, so I have the ability to get them."
Song Tiejun said: "Captain Zhang, I understand your feelings, and I can't bear it, but this is the order above and we must obey it."
Shi Yong said: "Follow the instructions of the chief secretary. It is important to take care of the overall situation."
Zhang Fengshan knew that his arms couldn't stretch his thighs, and said helplessly: "Give them the good ones. As for the bad ones, if they can't be repaired, they will be blacksmithed. It's not bad to hit them with a few knives. "
The feat of the Xuebing team to destroy the Guizi aircraft greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Wencheng, and also caused Qingtian's plan to attack Longwan to be stranded. Qingtian contracted its troops to the county seat and the Anwen Highway, imposed an economic blockade on Longwan, and only allowed out and out of materials.
The Japanese "prison cage" policy worked quickly. Longwan was located in a mountainous area. During the war, a large number of people gathered and people were talkative. Soon there was a famine.
Song Tiejun asked Shi Yong to discuss, "The devils are vicious, trying to trap us to death and starve to death here, so that we can come down without a fight. What can you do?"
When the Wencheng County government moved to Longwan, Shi Yong, in accordance with the requirements of the provincial government, stored supplies for four months. Although wartime control measures were taken and rationed supplies were implemented, the grain was half a catty per person per day, but now it has been reduced Two or two meters per person per day, and even two or two meters can no longer be guaranteed. Schools have been closed, some government officials have returned, and the people have no food to requisition. "I am also having a headache. I hope that rescue in the province is unlikely, and their life is not easy. Even if they have material rescue, they will not be able to cross the blockade. It seems that they can only take the path of production and self-help."
"I heard that many people from the guerrillas ran home to open up wasteland and cultivate land?"
Shi Yong knew that Song Tiejun was knowingly asking. Because Japanese militarism changed the policy of active offensive and adopted the policy of inducement and differentiation, the Kuomintang formulated policies for dissolving, preventing, restricting, and anti-Communist at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee at the beginning of the year and promulgating it. The "Measures for Handling Alien Party Issues" has continuously created friction. According to the needs of the struggle, the Wencheng County Party Committee took timely measures. Some party members who had exposed their identities were transferred to the base area. The guerrillas were also broken into pieces. They are the people in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. They come when they are called and can fight when they come. "We are almost unable to endure here, and their life is even more difficult. There is no food supply. At first they ate the bark and grass roots. Now the bark and grass roots are all eaten, and they can only break up."
Song Tiejun laughed a few times and said: "The old man is breathing now, how can he let others sleep soundly on the side of the couch?"
Shi Yong understood what he meant. Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that the Communist Party would sit back and become stronger. He returned to his original appearance, eradicated dissidents, and did whatever he wanted to do what his loved ones would hurt their enemies. "Now that prices are soaring, people are panicking, and the situation is precarious. I am most worried that the Japanese will not attack us. I suggest that Guangxiangjiu and other large households open warehouses to release grain to help the people, so that they can survive the autumn harvest and ensure that no one will die of starvation. "
Song Tiejun shook his head and said, "This won't work. The food they hoard is given priority to guarantee rations. Will the 176 divisions, security regiments, and county standing teams rely on the food provided by us? You can't carry the gun, so how can you expect them to go to war?"
"But they haven't fought much. The ancients said: After raising soldiers for thousands of days and using them for a short time, they eat and drink enough, and escape faster than anyone else."
"Brother, you don't know much about politics. Chairman Li and Minister Bai want to preserve their strength, and how can they get a foothold in the future? Therefore, Liu Chenglong and the others are no better than the Central Army, and they are not willing to be cannon fodder. The security regiment and the county standing team have little combat effectiveness. , Going to the battlefield is tantamount to dying. At best, they can only maintain local law and order, and they are indispensable for local stability."
"I'm worried about causing civil commotions."
"There are no people who are not afraid of death. A few poor ghosts can't make the climate. The Communist Party leader Mao Zedong said that the soldiers and the people are the basis of victory and put soldiers first. If the troops break into chaos, they will be bad things. Gave it to the enemy."
Song Tiejun’s words are not unreasonable. Recently, both the national army and the guerrillas have been attenuated very severely. Many people have gone to become the puppet army because they can not only get enough food there, but also receive the military salary on time and take care of the family. Not a problem. If you have milk, you are a mother. As for the dignity of the country and the righteousness of the nation, for those who don't know a few big characters, it is tantamount to talking to the cow.
"This trick of the little devil is called drawing a salary from the bottom of the pot and cannibalize the resistance of our army and people. Now is the time to really test us."
"You can't let up your anger, and you can't let up your strength. You have to organize a propaganda team to go down, just say that the above have already known our difficulties and are looking for ways to support."
Shi Yong understands that this is "painting cakes to satisfy one's hunger," and he can only find another way. "The Xuebing team keeps worrying about it, they can't tell the truth anymore."
Song Tiejun’s attitude is very clear, "They figured out a solution by themselves. If they really don’t work, they will disband. When they get over the difficulties and have food and salary in their hands, they still worry about not recruiting people? Don’t forget, we don’t have much in China. Just crowded."
Of course, Shi Yong did not want the armed forces in the hands of the party to be disbanded. He thought that the top priority was to let Guangxiangjiu and other big households take out food to meet their immediate needs, and then find a way to break through the blockade of the Japanese army to ensure the needs of the soldiers and civilians. But Song Tiejun had already sealed his words to death, so he wouldn't let him hit their minds. The party’s policy is also like this. In order to form the broadest national united front, our party made compromises during negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The reason why he hasn't done anything is that he is afraid of being charged with undermining the united front. Shi Yong's brows darkened, and he decided to report to Old Wei, waiting for instructions from his superiors to make plans.
Dai Changchun soon sent Wei's instructions: "Adjust to the time and act according to the timing." Dai Changchun also conveyed Wu Fei's message: The opinion of the Wencheng County Party Committee is to comply with public opinion and launch a struggle against local tyrants and evil gentry.
Shi Yong had a bottom in his heart, discussed with Zhang Fengshan, and decided to take Guangxiang for a long time.
Zhang Fengshan said: "I meant it a long time ago, so let's leave this to the academic team."
Shi Yong said: "You can't bear this responsibility, so I'll take care of it. Guangxiangjiu and Song Tiejun are relatives. His granddaughter Guangling renewed Song Zhibao, and he was hoarding food and supplies, which was also approved by Song Tiejun."
Zhang Fengshan heard a saying in the academy: the security regiment and the standing team retreat when seeing the devil, and the people are filled with Tai Sui in front of the people. There is wine and meat that tastes good; the academy team does not send food or guns, and hungry on the belly. battlefield. So he said: "Why does Song Tiejun look at people with three eyes? The team members have very big opinions, and everyone is reluctant to do it."
Shi Yong said: "This kind of sentiment is bad, if the dispersal is just what he wants. Now the devils stop offensive and throw out Sino-Japanese friendship, economic cooperation, and joint defense against communism. The Chongqing side is eager to do this and win breathing time, hoping the League of Nations will give Japan The government put pressure on it, and it was impossible for the Nationalist government to fight the Japanese in a short time. The Xuebing team was armed by the party’s leadership. Song Tiejun was always worried, especially after Song Zhibao was expelled. His suspicion became even heavier. Therefore, We can’t mess with ourselves, the team can’t disperse, let alone the hearts of the people, you have to lead this team well."
Zhang Fengshan nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will take the team well. When will Guangxiangjiu catch it?"
Shi Yong thought for a moment, and said: "Wait a minute, he has been very angry recently. When the fermentation reaches a certain time, we will break this pustule. Now the student team has a difficult time, and you can also learn from the guerrillas and arrange for some people. Leave with tasks, such as Gao Wenyuan, let him open a Chinese medicine clinic in Wencheng, take the opportunity to get some medicinal materials for the base; Shuisheng and Husheng continue to open the teahouse to spy on some intelligence; Xu Yuqing is a member of Song Tiejun, Song Isn’t the Tiejun wishing that we can’t make it? She is a doctor, and she can also be sent back to Huasheng Hospital to go to work, in name, to get some scarce medicines such as penicillin. The purpose is to remove this eyeliner... After you make arrangements, you can buy food. Go out for a few days in the name of, and you will come back when my business is over."
Zhang Fengshan knew that Shi Yong was covering himself, recalling the scene of fighting side by side with him, and couldn't help asking: "So you are leaving Wencheng?"
Shi Yong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fengshan, the organization has agreed to my plan. From now on, you must go deep into the tiger's den by yourself. Take care!"
Zhou Jin recovered from his injury, and heard that Xu Yuqing was going back to Huasheng Hospital, and told Zhang Fengshan that he would leave the cadet team, without him, just to protect Xu Yuqing.
Zhang Fengshan expected this and he agreed to cut down the student team, and merged the personnel of the third squadron into the first and second squadrons, willing to stay, and unwilling to send the travel expenses home. The personnel of the Xuebing team were also adjusted: Li Chunsuo was the captain of the squadron, Yang Jinsheng was the instructor; Jiang Jingyu was the captain of the No. 2 squadron, and He Dongchu was the instructor. Xu Yuqing's medical team was disbanded, and Li Yuzhu and other nursing staff followed her to Huasheng Hospital as nurses.
