Chapter 324: I am the guard Hu Zi in the regiment headquarters, what am I outside?
If things are not done well or do not know how to do them, it is a problem of ability.

But if things are not done well and you push other people to take the blame, then it’s really an attitude problem.

At this moment, in Li Yunlong’s mind, the district chief of Zhaojiayu clearly had an attitude problem.

Li Yunlong had made it very clear that he wanted to meet the district chief of Zhaojiayu. Not only did the other party not come in time, but now he even sent a female comrade to meet him.

In Li Yunlong’s eyes, the other party was clearly trying to shirk responsibility and was planning to let the woman in front of him come and face his anger.

In other words, the other party is not from the same system as himself. If the other party was from his independent regiment, Li Yunlong would have pulled out his gun by now.

Apart from anything else, just the fact that the regiment commander issued a military order and you failed to arrive in time is enough to get rid of the other party.

As a result, the other party not only failed to arrive in time, but also tried to be sneaky. Li Yunlong had no problem shooting him on the spot.

Not to mention Li Yunlong, even if Zhao Gang was present, he would definitely not object. The most he would do is to prevent Li Yunlong from shooting the other party in front of the regiment headquarters.

After listening to Li Yunlong’s words, Yang Xiuqin knew that Li Yunlong had also misunderstood, so she quickly began to explain.

“Captain Li, I am the district chief of Zhaojiayu. My last name is Yang Xiuqin. May I ask if you have any tasks for our district committee? I promise to complete them!”

Yang Xiuqin had heard of Li Yunlong and knew the abilities of the captain in front of her. She admired Captain Li from the bottom of her heart.

So after listening to Li Yunlong’s words, he quickly expressed his position, saying that as long as Li Yunlong had a task, the district committee in Zhaojiayu would fully cooperate.

Listening to Yang Xiuqin’s words, Li Yunlong was stunned, and the anger that had just been boiling in his heart was instantly poured down like a bucket of cold water.

Li Yunlong paused, slowed down and said to Yang Xiuqin.

“District Chief Yang, I hope that local comrades can quickly organize all the militias, whether they are basic militias or non-working militias.

We also need to organize the masses, and organize as many young and strong people as possible.

The district committee in Zhaojiayu put aside all its affairs and fully cooperated with the combat operations of our independent regiment.

In addition, the combat operation plan is kept confidential. You should find a reason to organize the masses and militia and gather them all to Zhaojiayu. I will send people to assist you in organizing them.

I’m warning you in advance. If anyone leaves the team without permission during the organization process, they will be subject to military law and will be subject to battlefield discipline! It doesn’t matter who it is, even if it’s you, District Chief Yang!

From now on, people can only enter Zhaojiayu but not leave. Anyone who leaves without permission will be shot on the spot!

All work stops, understand?!”

Li Yunlong didn’t say anything to explain to Yang Xiuqin. He just started assigning tasks to Yang Xiuqin and gave her a warning.

If anyone wants to leave after entering Zhaojiayu, Li Yunlong will not hesitate to execute him by military law.

After all, Ping’an County was located behind enemy lines not long ago, not an area occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

There must be a lot of Japanese spies here. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Li Yunlong can only use tough measures and directly block the entire Zhaojiayu!

Yang Xiuqin was shocked when she heard what Li Yunlong said.

With such a tough action, it is obvious that Li Yunlong is going to make a big move.

“Yes!”

“Guaranteed to complete the mission!”

“Well, Huzi, you take the guard platoon to help District Chief Yang. Remember what I just said. If anyone dares to mess around and disobey orders, the people will tie them up and take them to Zhaojiayu. The soldiers are allowed to use tough measures!”

“Yes!”

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal Hu Zi and Yang Xiuqin that they could leave first.

……

Hu Zi quickly assembled a platoon of guards and followed Yang Xiuqin to the district committee.

Before heading to the district committee, Yang Xiuqin also arranged for militiamen to notify several key leaders of the district committee who had just returned.

When Hu Zi and Yang Xiuqin arrived at the district committee, the house where the district committee was located was already full of people.

“District Chief, District Chief, what happened? Why is Captain Li so anxious to call us back this time? Does Captain Li have any mission that requires the cooperation of our district committee?”

A middle-aged man with a large-eyed box-type pistol on his waist and dressed in an Eighth Route Army uniform, Zhao Daqiang, the captain of the Zhaojiayu District Squad, was the first to ask after seeing Yang Xiuqin coming back.

“Yes, District Chief, what happened? I saw Captain Li bringing almost a regiment of people to Zhaojiayu. Are the higher-ups planning to establish a base in Zhaojiayu?

Or do you want to attack the turrets?”

“District Chief, what task did Commander Li give our district committee? Is it to help the main force destroy the road, help transport supplies, or help block the enemy?”

After Yang Xiuqin brought Hu Zi into the house, Zhong Da surrounded Yang Xiuqin and started asking questions.

“Be quiet, be quiet!”

Listening to everyone’s questions, Yang Xiuqin quickly raised her hand to stop them and asked everyone to keep quiet.

Li Yunlong’s guards are still by his side. If others see that the discipline of their Zhaojiayu District Committee is like this, it will bring shame to their District Committee.

At Yang Xiuqin’s call, everyone quickly stopped arguing and looked at Yang Xiuqin and Hu Zi behind her.

“Let me introduce you first. This is Comrade Li, the personal guard sent by the Independent Regiment of the main force to assist us in carrying out our mission.”

Yang Xiuqin originally wanted to introduce Hu Zi’s name, but when she thought that she didn’t even know Hu Zi’s name, she turned her head and looked at Hu Zi.

Li Yunlong called himself Hu Zi, and it was obvious that Hu Zi should be the other person’s nickname or alias.

Li Yunlong was the regiment commander, so there was nothing wrong with him calling the other party “Hu Zi”. However, they were not Li Yunlong, so it was naturally impossible for them to call the other party “Hu Zi” like Li Yunlong did.

This is somewhat disrespectful to the other party.

Hu Zi instantly understood what Yang Xiuqin meant and immediately stepped forward and spoke.

“Comrades, I am Song Shanhu, the guard of Li Yunlong, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the deputy commander of the guard company of the Independent Regiment!”

Hu Zi stepped forward and introduced himself to everyone.

That’s right, although Hu Zi is only Li Yunlong’s personal bodyguard, Li Yunlong often lets Hu Zi take people to do things. In order to facilitate Hu Zi to mobilize troops, it is not necessary for Li Yunlong to give special orders every time.

So Hu Zi was appointed as the deputy company commander in the independent regiment’s guard company.

Similarly, Wei Dayong, Zhao Gang’s personal bodyguard, also held the position of deputy platoon leader in the independent regiment’s guard company.

It was just that Wei Dayong was later pulled out and became the captain of the commando team.

Listening to Hu Zi’s self-introduction, several members of the district committee introduced themselves one after another at Yang Xiuqin’s suggestion.

The first person to speak was naturally the second-in-command of the Zhaojiayu District Party Committee and Government, the district team leader Zhao Daqiang.

“Deputy Captain Song, I’m Zhao Daqiang, the captain of the Zhaojiayu District Squad.”

“Deputy Captain Song, I am from the Zhaojiayu District Committee…”

“…”

The army is different from other places. The ranks and positions in the army are strictly distinguished. The deputy company commander is the deputy company commander.

Even if it is Song Shanhu, you can only call him deputy company commander, not directly Company Commander Song.

After everyone introduced themselves, Hu Zi spoke to the crowd.

“Everyone, my mission is to assist the district committee in bringing all the militia and organized people to Zhaojiayu. The rest is up to you. I am only responsible for security.”

After Hu Zi explained all of his tasks and responsibilities, he took a step back and stopped interfering in the conversation.

Listening to what Hu Zi said and his mission, everyone looked at each other.

They already have district teams, and they also need to call on militiamen from each village. Security issues do not require the independent regiment to send a main platoon to be responsible for security protection or anything like that.

But now the independent regiment has sent a platoon to take over the security work, so Hu Zi’s real task is not to protect, but to monitor.

After thinking about this, everyone realized that this mission was different from the previous ones and it must be a very important mission.

Otherwise, the independent regiment would not have sent a platoon of soldiers to monitor and ensure that the news would not leak out.

Yang Xiuqin quickly assigned all the tasks and arranged personnel to recruit militia and organize the masses.

“Remember, this time when we gather the militia and organize the masses, tell them first that we are going to go to Fu’an County. Use this as an excuse to gather all the militia and the masses to Zhaojiayu, and then see what orders Captain Li has.”

“Yes!”

After Yang Xiuqin had assigned all the tasks, she reminded everyone again, and then asked everyone to start carrying out their tasks according to their respective assignments.

Considering the issue of confidentiality, everyone did not go to different villages separately, but went to each village together to recruit militia and organize the masses.

“Hiss, they are indeed the main force, with two guns per person and so many small machine guns.”

Looking at the guard platoon led by Hu Zi, Zhao Daqiang, the district team leader, couldn’t help but exclaimed.

The weapons and equipment of the independent regiment’s guard company are naturally not bad.

A squad consists of twelve people, among whom the squad leader and deputy squad leader are equipped with submachine guns, a Czech light machine gun, and a grenade launcher. The remaining riflemen are each additionally equipped with a 20-shot revolver.

In addition to their good weapons and equipment, the soldiers in the guard company are also very powerful. A squad of soldiers can easily wipe out a small Japanese squad.

If there is a terrain advantage, then a squad of soldiers can even defeat a squad of Japanese devils.

The guard platoon brought by Li Yunlong was the most powerful one in the guard company.

In terms of the soldiers’ physical fitness, they are no worse than the veterans of the Vanguard Regiment.

After all, the independent regiment’s guard company was often used by Li Yunlong as a spearhead company. In this case, the guard company’s combat effectiveness would naturally not be bad.

Looking at the equipment of Hu Zi and others, Zhao Daqiang, who didn’t even have a light machine gun in the entire district team, was naturally full of envy.

You have to know that a few months ago, their district squad only had some old-style rifles like the Hanyang-made old-style rifles, and the number was still small. There were more than 30 people in the entire district squad, but only about 20 guns.

Most of them were old and dilapidated guns that were damaged by the main force of the Taihang Military Region and then sent to the county brigade after being repaired, and then replaced by the county brigade.

The bullets were all reloaded bullets, with only a few original bullets captured from the Japanese.

It was only after the Eighth Route Army captured Fu’an County from the Japanese some time ago that their district squad was allocated several Shanxi-made Type 65 rifles and pistols, as well as a batch of original bullets.

These guns are treasures in Zhao Daqiang’s eyes.

But even these treasures are just equipment replaced by the Taihang Military Region, and they are weapons with not very good performance.

But now the guns carried by the guard platoon soldiers are all genuine Type 38 rifles of the Japanese army, and there is also the Czech light machine gun that Zhao Daqiang has seen at the county brigade.

And a submachine gun that Zhao Daqiang had never seen before.

“These were all snatched from the Japanese by our independent regiment. In front of our independent regiment, the Japanese acted like a transport team, continuously delivering weapons and equipment to our independent regiment.”

Hearing Zhao Daqiang’s envious tone, Hu Zi couldn’t help but speak to Zhao Daqiang proudly.

……

After arranging other personnel to carry out the mission, Yang Xiuqin did not leave, but returned to the headquarters of the independent regiment.

At this moment, there was no one else in the independent regiment headquarters except a guard who was called by Li Yunlong to lend a hand.

After receiving the telegram from Qin Yangming and the time of attack, Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao to go down and make preparations, and let the soldiers of the first battalion take advantage of the remaining time in the afternoon to have a good rest in preparation for the battle tonight.

“Captain Li?!”

Yang Xiuqin lifted the door curtain and entered the headquarters of the independent regiment, shouting to Li Yunlong.

Seeing Yang Xiuqin coming over, Li Yunlong looked up at her and spoke with confusion.

“District Chief Yang, I wonder what else you need to do when you come to my regiment? Have you completed your mission?”

“Captain Li, let me ask you, this time the independent regiment came to Ping’an County, are they planning to attack the county town?”

Yang Xiuqin looked at Li Yunlong and went straight up to him and told him her speculation.

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes as he listened to Yang Xiuqin’s words.

You know, except for him, a few people from the regiment headquarters and Zhang Dabiao, Hu Zi knew that the real purpose of the independent regiment’s coming this time was to attack the county town. Everyone else thought it was an attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold and had no idea what was going on.

As a result, Yang Xiuqin actually said it out loud.

Li Yunlong did not hide anything and asked directly.

“How did you know that? Did you guess it yourself, or did some bastard tell you?”

“I guessed that such a large main force of the Independent Regiment would not come here just to attack a few artillery towers or strongholds.

When did the independent regiment go out to attack the county town? “
