Chapter 408: What can be tolerated?
The reason why Wang Meng initially made such a plan was because among the new recruits in Yunnan, there were many students joining the army. Therefore, the little bookworm could get to know them better and could do ideological work for them with ease in the future.
Of course, these are all things to follow.
Wang Meng ordered the soldiers to leave all the compressed biscuits they carried with them to Master Shihang, after all, their conditions were much more difficult.
After crossing the suspension bridge, we went south along the Nujiang River again. When we returned to Jiqipo, it was already pitch dark.
"Lao Zhao, I'm going to sleep now. I've been exhausted today!"
"That Mengzi...I have a favor to ask of you..."
Wang Meng seemed to not believe his ears. Would the upright Zhao Gang ever ask for help from others?
"No way, did I hear you right? Is there still a time when you, Old Zhao, would beg me for help?"
Wang Meng immediately pulled over a chair, crossed his legs, sat down, and prepared to enjoy Lao Zhao's request.
"Mengzi, don't tell Lao Li about this, otherwise he will definitely run to dangerous places in the future, and I won't be able to control him!"
"That's it?"
Wang Meng originally thought it was a big deal, but when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed a big deal. After all, with Lao Zhao's "leading by example", Lao Li would definitely go even further and use this matter to shut him up.
"Okay, then I'll agree to your request with reluctance! But Lao Zhao, let me be frank with you. Once we establish contact with the Dahengshan guerrillas, you must not put yourself in danger again."
"Of course. Well, you've been busy all day. Tomorrow I'll tell you about our guerrillas and militia!"
Early the next morning, a heavy rain soaked Zenda thoroughly, but after the dark clouds dispersed, the scorching sun came out, burning people's faces so hard that it hurt.
Wang Meng arrived at a wilderness where about two companies of soldiers were training. However, these soldiers were different from regular troops. They did not wear helmets, and the firearms they used were all Japanese equipment.
"Mengzi, you're up? Take a look at our militia, they're pretty good, right?"
Wang Meng took a look and found that they were indeed all young and middle-aged people, and they all looked energetic.
"Not bad, Lao Zhao, how many teams have you recruited during this period?"
"Hehe, not much, not much. We learned how to do business from Lao Li. Although we are not as smart as him, we are almost the same! There are about 800 people on the east bank of the Nujiang River."
Wang Meng was shocked. Yunnan was not like the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and North China. There were many Japanese invaders in those places, and Chongqing was weak, so it was much smoother to develop the guerrillas.
Yunnan is the rear base of Chongqing. It is not easy to gather such a large team here in a short period of time.
And according to past patterns, the situation will soon spread like wildfire in Yunnan.
In addition, Master Shihang’s Dahengshan guerrillas have more than 200 people, and according to the master, if they can have weapons and equipment, more Chinese people who are oppressed by the Japanese will definitely join them.
"That's right! When the Dahengshan guerrillas grow to a certain size, we can expand them into a guerrilla brigade with their consent, and then stab the devils in the back a few times!"
"Let's go over there and have a look!"
Zhao Gang led Wang Meng through the pine forest and then headed towards a valley farther away.
Before they got close to the valley, they heard the familiar and passionate voice.
“The awakening of a nation will never leave women behind. You are like the most beautiful flowers in the rainy season, exuding charming fragrance with your strength and courage.
This smell is a deadly poison to the enemy. But to the Chinese, it is the dawn of hope! "
The little bookworm's generous and passionate voice floated back and forth in the tropical rainforest, startling the mountain birds and moving people's hearts.
The female comrades from the Women's Rescue Association also stared with eyes wide open, watching the young man with clear eyes dancing on the big rock.
Shangguan Jieci had received the best education, so she could naturally understand the romance and determination revealed in his every word.
Compared to her husband Milong who is down-to-earth, this young woman is looking up at the stars.
As a great man once said, this era needs people who keep their feet on the ground as well as people who look up at the stars.
Shangguan Jieci's eyes were full of excitement. The young man had hope, and China had hope!
A burst of sparse applause finally merged into one, echoing throughout the mountains and forests.
"Okay! Not bad!"
Zhao Gang clapped his hands and walked closer to the small training ground.
"Li Muzhi, how do you feel after watching our Sichuan Army today?"
The little bookworm jumped down from the stone and pointed at the Flag Sacrifice Hill, the militia training ground and the Women's Federation training ground.
"This is hope! Hot hope!"
"Li Muzhi, if you are willing to seize hope with us and save China together, then join us! Take a plane to Pingshun, receive our military training and political education, and then use your own hands to plant hope on this land and make it blossom and bear fruit!"
Li Muzhi nodded vigorously, agreeing with Zhao Gang's suggestion.
"Director Shangguan, how is your training going?"
Shangguan Jieci stepped forward with a serious face and saluted.
"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, our Women's Federation's training subject today is pistol target shooting! Please give instructions!"
"Go according to plan!"
"Yes!"
More than fifty members of the Women's Federation were divided into five rows, with about ten women in each row. They were holding 92 pistols and shooting at targets 25 meters away.
The first row of shooting was over, and the results were the same as usual, Shen Zui came in first place and Shangguan Jieci came in second place.
"Deputy Director Shen, did Captain Meng give you some special training when you went home? Your shooting level is almost catching up with our regular army! As I said, who says women are inferior to men? Hahaha!"
Xiaozui lowered her head shyly, her face flushed.
"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, I usually do a lot of farm work, so my hands are quite strong, so I can hold the gun steadily! If I didn't have the advantage of being stronger, I really couldn't compare to Sister Shangguan!"
"No, no! I need to learn more from you in the future!"
Zhao Gang is very satisfied with these two partners. Shangguan Jieci has a sense of the overall situation and is efficient and methodical in his work, while Shen Zui is meticulous and good at bringing people closer together.
With a combination of movement and stillness, the Women's Federation has been put on a high profile in recent days.
The rapid development of the militia and the Women's Rescue Association actually made Master Yu of Zenda feel a sense of crisis.
In the past in Zenda, Master Yu was a local tyrant who was completely above the government. Of course, this is also the norm in China.
But now, an independent column suddenly appeared in Zenda, making it difficult for the people of Zenda to distinguish between the big king and the small king.
But since they were personally invited by Commander Wei to help, they just endured it.
But then there emerged the militia and the Women's Federation. According to the Independent Column, these were spontaneous mass organizations, similar to the "Opera Lovers Association", "Swimming Association", and so on.
But have you ever seen any civilian organization voluntarily equipped with guns? And it's not a red tasseled gun, it's the standard weapon of the Japanese devils!
