Chapter 968 Iron Army Vanguard Medal

Xie Baoqing, the head of Heiyunzhai, was born in hardship. Because of his enmity with the rich and good people in his village, he killed more than 20 members of Zhang Shanren's family in a rage, burned Zhang Shanren's house, and became a bandit. Among the bandits, they gained a good reputation by virtue of their good martial arts and generous means of donating money, and became the master of Heiyunzhai.

Heiyunzhai's source of income mainly comes from looting, cutting, kidnapping, digging out old kilns, and doing whatever comes at hand. Japanese devils, puppet troops, Kuomintang troops, Eighth Route Army, and merchants, as long as the opportunity is right, they will do whatever they want.

Xie Baoqing, who was born in a poor family, reiterated the discipline of the cottage, robbing anyone, but not the poor. The brothers naturally supported this rule, and felt that this mountain rule was well established. From a general perspective, it was a bit like killing the rich and helping the poor The character of a hero in the rivers and lakes, privately said, what can the poor have to grab? It's better to go with the flow and gain a good reputation.

It is because of the reputation of robbing the rich and helping the poor that several political forces are planning to recruit this banditry. The Kuomintang army wants to recruit them, the Eighth Route Army wants to recruit them, and the Japanese and puppets want to pull them over. Xie Baoqing and several representatives Been in touch and considering.

He has dealt with the Kuomintang army for 20 years, survived repeated suppressions, and knows the Kuomintang army too well. He heard that some bandits were recruited and then cleaned up. There are many such things, and some are recruited. Later, it was reorganized into a local army. As soon as the battle started, you would be sent to a deadly place, and he would not do such a foolish thing by borrowing someone else's hand to kill you; the Japanese and puppets could not even consider it. The bandits also have a reputation problem. Bandits, it's not good to have a traitor and a bandit.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao tended to recruit this group of bandits just now, but Shen Long knew that not all people like Xie Baoqing in Heiyunzhai, their second master mountain cat, Liang Erhu, did all kinds of rape and robbery, and every time he snatched a new woman, he was serious. As soon as he gets married, the old woman will be rewarded to the minions. Over the years, he has harmed at least hundreds of innocent women.

Moreover, in the original book, Monk Wei died under his hands. No matter what aspect he considered, Shen Long would not allow such a person to mix into the ranks of the Eighth Route Army. He described the situation in Heiyunzhai, and then concluded, "Like Xie Baoqing This is something that can be saved, but if someone like Liang Erhu joins our Eighth Route Army, what will the villagers around us think of us?"

"How many folks around here have been ruined by Liang Erhu? Will they support us as before when they saw Liang Erhu put on our Eighth Route Army uniform? Therefore, I think that bandits like Heiyunzhai should be dealt with differently. The bandits who commit all kinds of crimes should not only not be taken in, but should also be severely dealt with by holding a public trial!"

"The scholar is right! If bastards like Liang Erhu were allowed to join my independent regiment, wouldn't the folks point at me and call Li Yunlong a mother?" Li Yunlong agreed with Shen Long's opinion. He always looked down on Liang Erhu who would only cause harm The bandits of the common people are not willing to let them join the independent regiment at all.

Faced with the crimes listed by Shen Long, Zhao Gang had nothing to say, "The problems pointed out by Xiao Shen are very representative.

Such people are indeed not suitable to join the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, but if they want to catch Liang Erhu for a public trial, people like Xie Baoqing will definitely not agree, right? "In his view, Xie Baoqing belongs to the group of people who can still win.

"The central government requires us to strive for all possible targets and form an anti-Japanese united front. The purpose is to unite all forces that can be united and jointly resist the attacks of little devils." After talking about the practical significance, Shen Long began to analyze this issue from a theoretical perspective. "The existence of these bandits just makes it impossible for us to concentrate our forces. They have caused great obstacles to the production and life of the people in the northwestern border area of ​​​​Shanxi. Clearing up the bandits and restoring normal production order can allow us to better concentrate our forces. "

"These bandits are like pustules on the human body. If you don't deal with it, it will definitely affect your health!" Shen Long also made a metaphor, "If these bandits are dealt with, we can fight devils in a healthier state .”

"Although Xiao Shen joined our Eighth Route Army for a short time, his theoretical skills are stronger than some veteran cadres!" Zhao Gang praised him, and when he spoke, he took a special look at Li Yunlong.

Of course, we can be regarded as senior cadres at any rate, and I don’t know how many theoretical works have been read. Due to the reason of vision, I am afraid that even Zhao Gang is not as good as himself in theory, but Shen Long feels that in terms of down-to-earth, There is still a certain gap between him and Zhao Gang.

"Old Zhao, what am I doing!" Li Yunlong was not happy now, he knew that he never liked to learn these things, and he was not happy to be told by Zhao Gang.

"Hahahaha!" The room suddenly burst into laughter. Everyone knew about Li Yunlong's problems. After laughing, this meeting also came to a conclusion. The matter of recruiting bandits should be done selectively, and everyone can't be pulled in. In the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, some bandits with good reputations are easier to talk about, and bandits like Liang Erhu who have committed the most heinous crimes must be severely punished.

"Xie Baoqing will definitely not want Liang Erhu to be dealt with, so we have to control this group of bandits first, and then make a clear stand with him! Tomorrow I will take someone to find out the details of Heiyunzhai and come up with an attack plan!" Shen Long took the initiative to ask for a fight.

"I'll take people to visit the victims in Heiyunzhai, and try to make the public trial fair!" Zhao Gang considered this issue from the perspective of political work. He thought this was a good opportunity to unite the masses and let them Realize that the Eighth Route Army is a team that truly makes decisions for the common people.

"Then it's settled!" Li Yunlong made a decision immediately, "If we want to fight Heiyunzhai, let those recruits go. This is also an opportunity for them to exercise." The independent regiment has recently expanded a lot, and the quality of its soldiers has also appeared to be uneven. And the intensity of fighting bandits is not as great as that of fighting little devils, so it is perfect for newcomers to fight.

The next day, when Shen Long planned to take people to investigate around Heiyunzhai, a few unexpected visitors interrupted his plan, and these leaders from the division headquarter went directly to Shen Long.

"Comrade Shen Long, in view of your outstanding contribution to the anti-Japanese cause in Taiyuan, the division has decided to award you and the special company of the independent regiment you led with the Iron Army Vanguard Medal! This is my encouragement!"

After finishing speaking, the division leader took out a silver medal and put it on Shen Long's chest, then patted him on the shoulder, "Actually, this medal should have been awarded to you a long time ago, but it took some time to verify the record, and it has been delayed until now." .”
