Chapter 42: The Enthusiastic Chu Ziying
"What, those people from Erlong Mountain are moving to us?"
In a courtyard in the county seat of Jue County, Chu Ziying was very surprised and asked Cheng Shan in front of him.
Cheng Shan nodded and said: "Yes, according to the news from the outpost in front, Su Jin has led hundreds of men, women and children in Erlong Mountain to march towards Jue County, and it is expected to arrive at the county seat tomorrow morning." Speaking of this, Cheng Shan asked cautiously: "Tuanzuo, what should we do?" ”
Chu Ziying understood what Cheng Shan meant, Jue County made their territory, but suddenly an armed force that was not under their control came, and no one had to think about it in their hearts.
Looking at Chu Ziying, who was groaning, Cheng Shan said cautiously: "Tuanzao, do you want me to send a force to "pick up" them?" ”
"No way!" Chu Ziying vetoed Cheng Shan's proposal without thinking about it: "We just gave people the establishment of a militia brigade, and now that people have just come over, we put on this kind of defensive posture, which is too childish." ”
"What's this?" Cheng Shan snorted lightly: "Last time, the regimental seat gave him a battalion commander's establishment, what a good thing it was, but Su Jin, this kid, was stunned and didn't appreciate it, and now he ran over when he saw that he was going to be regarded as a thorn in the side by the Japanese, and he really regarded us as a refuge." ”
"Huh...... That can't be said. Chu Ziying shook his head: "We know very well what the strength of the Japanese is, Su Jin can bring a group of poorly equipped bandits to give the Japanese so much damage, whether there is an element of geography and luck in this, he has contributed to the great cause of our War of Resistance, and now we can resolutely give up Erlong Mountain to join us, then it proves that this Su Jin has vision and courage." ”
Hearing this, he and Chu Ziying are both officers who graduated from Whampoa, have received orthodox military education, and are naturally much better than the group of Erlongshan in terms of looking at things, and they know very well how powerful the Japanese are. The reason why Erlongshan was able to take advantage twice was because the Japanese didn't take this gang of bandits in their eyes at all, once the Japanese became a little serious, Erlongshan would have to go around without food, so it was absolutely right for Su Jinneng to resolutely give up his foundation and run to Jue County.
On July 3, the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), Su Jin led more than 400 people up and down Erlong Mountain to abandon the foundation of Erlong Mountain and came to Jue County, which was more than 100 miles away.
When Su Jin led people to the city gate of Jue County, he saw more than a dozen officers and dozens of soldiers in blue military uniforms standing outside the city gate, led by a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a Chinese face that looked very majestic. Seeing the three twinkling three-dimensional stars on his shoulders again, Su Jin didn't need anyone to say his identity. He immediately stepped forward and saluted loudly: "Su Jin, the captain of the First Brigade of the Shigu County People's League, has seen Chief Chu and caused trouble to the chief!" ”
In fact, when Su Jin was looking at Su Jin, Chu Ziying was also looking at Su Jin and the group behind him. Most of Su Jin's entourage are old and weak, women and children, so naturally there is no neat queue, but Chu Ziying noticed that around the queue there are many soldiers wearing German military uniforms and wearing German M35 steel helmets.
"Where did this kid get so many German uniforms?"
Chu Ziying couldn't help muttering a little in his heart, but on the surface, he was still smiling, and he replied with a smile casually: "Captain Su is polite, I have long heard about your deeds in Shigu County, it is a good thing that you can come today, there is no trouble." Since you have come to Jue County, we are brothers in the trenches, and from now on, you will treat Jue County as your home! ”
Listening to Chu Ziying's words, Su Jin couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, it is not easy to be the head of a regiment, not to mention this Chu Ziying's ability to fight, but seeing that he is so polite to himself, the captain of the militia who was born as a bandit, it can be seen that he is very good at being a person.
Chu Ziying really gave Su Jin face, and that night he held a banquet at the regiment headquarters to accommodate Su Jin and his party, and said at the banquet that he would draw a piece of land to house hundreds of old and weak women and children in Erlong Mountain.
After eating, everyone gathered in a courtyard. I don't know when it began, several leaders of Erlong Mountain, including Zhang Xiuniang, liked to gather in Su Jin's courtyard to talk together, which seemed to have become a routine.
At this moment, Xiaoyu walked in from outside and brought a large watermelon.
Xiaoyu took out a knife and skillfully cut the watermelon, revealing the red melon pulp, and beckoned: "Let's eat, this is sent by Captain Chu, there are a lot of them, enough for everyone to eat." ”
Zhang Danian picked up a piece of watermelon and took a big bite, the meat was crisp and tender, and he couldn't help but praise: "Commander Chu is really thoughtful, not only did he place so many of us, but he also sent someone to send watermelons when he knew that the weather was hot, but I didn't expect that there were such good people in the national army." ”
"Hmph...... Good guys? Su Jin also grabbed a piece of watermelon casually, snorted in his mouth and ate it heavily.
Zhang Xiuniang was the closest to Su Jin and the person who noticed him the most, and Su Jin's inconspicuous movements were discovered by her. She lowered her head and leaned into Su Jin's ear and whispered, "Su Jin, do you still have any dissatisfaction with Head Chu?" ”
"Nothing to complain about." Su Jin said while eating watermelon: "I only know that there is no free lunch in this world, he is so good to us and naturally asks for us, wait, we will have something to do soon." ”
Zhang Xiuniang's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her small mouth opened to say something, but she swallowed it back after her eyes swept to the surrounding crowd.
And the people around didn't feel strange after seeing the intimate demeanor of Zhang Xiuniang and Su Jin, as if this was a very normal thing, in the more than a month since he came to Erlong Mountain, Su Jin has proved his value and ability with his actions, and in their opinion, only he is worthy of a beauty like Zhang Xiuniang.
Su Jin finished eating a piece of watermelon by dividing it by two, and was about to wipe his mouth with his sleeve, but unexpectedly, a handkerchief was lowered to his side, and when he looked back, it turned out to be handed over by Zhang Xiuniang. Su Jin didn't think much about it, took it and wiped his mouth and put it in his pocket, not noticing that someone on the side was staring at him with a red face.
After clearing his throat, Su Jin began to speak......
