Ye Wei didn't expect Zhao Ziming to make this decision and was stunned. Seeing his serious face, he knew it was not a joke, and bit his lip and said, "Actually you don't have to do this... The Eighth Route Army's discipline is too strict, and you are used to not coming. {Book friends upload and update}"

This sentence made Zhao Ziming feel warm. If Ye Wei's face said that you were welcome to join, it means that she was nothing in her heart. Since she could think about herself, it means that Ye Wei had taken herself seriously, which is a good sign.

The detachment leader also welcomed and affirmed Zhao Ziming's joining. Wu Changqing suggested giving him the position of deputy detachment leader. Ye Xuefeng agreed, but Zhao Ziming firmly disagreed. He said that I only have more than 30 brothers under my command, so how can I be qualified to be the deputy detachment leader? Just be a platoon leader.

Wu Changqing said that the commander of the Seventh Route of the Jiangbei Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Alliance came to our Eighth Route Army, how could he be the platoon leader? It was said that our Eighth Route Army had no ambitions. After all, he persuaded Zhao Ziming but did not agree. In the end, Ye Xuefeng came up with an idea and made a concession to each other and organized Zhao Ziming's troops into the spy squadron of the Daqingshan Detachment, giving him the title of squadron leader.

Zhao Ziming took off his leather jacket, changed into two and a half feet of pomegranate skin dyed, put on an Eighth Route Cap, and started to gait his leggings. He looked like a revolutionary soldier. The soldiers of the spy squadron also changed into military uniforms and transformed from a Kuomintang guerrilla team to a regular army of the highest order.

On the first day of morning exercise, all the spy squadrons were late. Other squadrons pulled them out for a walk around. They walked lazily to the playground, wearing hats and hanging bullet belts in a slanted manner, not tying their leggings, and yawning. Some detachment leaders were very upset when they saw it, and privately said that it would be strange to win a battle with such loose discipline.

There was another incident during lunch. The spy squadron followed Zhao Ziming's habit of drinking spicy food. When they entered the valley, they could only eat steamed buns. How could they not complain? A soldier threw the steamed buns away and said that I was quitting. After gathering a few people, they were about to go down the mountain. They were arrested by the guard company.

When Zhao Ziming arrived after hearing the news, he couldn't help but be furious. Since ancient times, deserters have been punished with serious crimes and have to be beheaded, but seeing that his brother who had been through life and death with him was shot, he could not pass this level.

The spy squadron had more than 30 people coming, and they were still holding guns. The guard company also moved, and the fire seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

The leaders of the detachment were all present, and each of them looked extremely serious. Just as Wu Changqing was about to speak, Ye Xuefeng said: "Lao Wu, I am a political cadre, I'll do it."

Wu Changqing nodded. He believed in Ye Xuefeng's ability.

Ye Xuefeng said: "Our Eighth Route Army has strict discipline. It is said that deserters must be punished. Not only should they be punished, but the relevant leaders must also be held accountable. {Puke friends uploaded and updated}"

When Zhao Ziming heard this, his eyebrows stood up.

Ye Xuefeng said again: "But you have just arrived and are not used to it. You can't use the standards of revolutionary soldiers to demand you. Since you don't want to be the Eighth Route Army, we will never force you. You can leave as long as you want and give you the travel fee."

The deserters looked at Ye Xuefeng in shock, unable to believe their ears, and the men in the spy squadron gradually put down their hands pressing the gun handle.

Ye Xuefeng continued: "Before leaving, I want to invite you to visit and come with me."

He spoke in a bad tone, but he was majestic. The deserters couldn't help but follow him and came to a temporary shack where there were family and children who were having a meal. The bowl was filled with wild vegetables.

"The Japanese swept the enemy. We have lived a hard life. Even steamed buns are saved by the people. They said that the soldiers should not kill the Japanese when they are hungry. They supply food to the troops. They only eat wild vegetables and they will not be full in this way..." Ye Xuefeng took off his glasses and wiped the fog.

The deserters lowered their heads in shame.

A crisis was resolved invisibly. The next day, the spy squadron actually got the first assembly, but the good times didn't last long. After a few days of persistence, he relaxed again. Wu Changqing and Ye Xuefeng didn't care about it, so they slowly merged.

A few days later, trouble came again. On the eve of the Spring Festival, when the detachment held a meeting of squadron leader and above, Zhao Ziming was absent. Some people suspected that he had become a deserter, but Wu Changqing didn't believe it at all. At night, Zhao Ziming came back with half a wild boar and a few pheasants, saying that he had gone to the mountains to hunt and get some wild animals for everyone to celebrate the New Year.

Wu Changqing criticized Zhao Ziming for his unauthorized actions, saying that he would say hello to his leader if he wanted to do anything else, and that if something happened, it would be easier to rescue him.

Zhao Ziming didn't care: "Isn't this nothing wrong?"

Afterwards, Wu Changqing and Ye Xuefeng discussed how to educate Zhao Ziming, and Ye Xuefeng suggested that he and the spy squadron be used as ** troops.

"Zhao Ziming is a talented person. He asked him to follow orders and limited his subjective initiative. It is better to let him go and practice alone. He has any tasks directly, but there is no need to specify how to execute them. Lao Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Changqing nodded: "I think it's OK."

The detachment leader and the political commissar had a conversation with Zhao Ziming. Wu Changqing said, Xiao Zhao, you should take the team alone. If you can expand 200 people, you will be the battalion commander. If you can expand 800 people, you will be the commander of the ** regiment.

Zhao Ziming said, what if I could bring up a team of 3,000 people.

Wu Changqing slapped the table and said, "Then I'll do it with you."

"Okay, that's it." Zhao Ziming was full of energy and full of confidence.

Before leaving with the team, he picked a large bouquet of camellia to send it to the health team. Ye Wei didn't say much, just three words: "Waiting for you."

...

Camellia bloomed, it was already early spring of 1940. The Japanese had achieved major results in winter combat. Chen Shou's troops suffered serious losses and had to retreat to the depths of Daqing Mountains. They joined forces with Gai Longquan and wandered everywhere. The same was true for the Eighth Route Army. They lost their bases in the plains and could only operate in the mountains.

The Japanese forced the people to build highways and artillery towers, using railways as pillars, highways as chains, artillery towers as locks, and step by step to squeeze out the living space of the anti-Japanese armed forces. The township set up maintenance meetings and the village set up Baojia. All people in the occupied areas must apply for good civil certificates. The fertile lands in the north of the river are spread all over the artillery towers, and the anti-Japanese situation has entered a low tide.

At the end of March, the pseudo-National Government was established in Nanjing. Wang Jingwei became the chairman and president of the National Government. The national flag was like Chongqing, which was blue sky, white sun and red on the ground to show orthodoxy. However, a long triangle streamer was added above the flagpole, with the words "Peace ** Save the Country". The national flag with a tail was unheard of around the world and was once heard of as a joke.

The Wang government has been formed, the original Nanjing Restoration Government was abolished, and the Peking Provisional Government was changed to the North China Government Commission, which was directly controlled by the Japanese military. China was divided into several large pieces, including Manchukuo, Wang government, Chongqing government, and some local authorities under the control of the Japanese, while Xinjiang was controlled by the Soviet Union, which took advantage of the situation. The land of China was divided into all parts of war and was full of war.

Jiangdong Province is under the jurisdiction of the Wang government. Liu Youjin was originally ordered to take office in danger and took up a false post to protect the people. Now he is just leaving the country and surrendering the provincial chairman to the Wangs. At the same time, Beitai Mayor Xiao Lang also resigned. He became the mayor to fulfill the gentleman's agreement of Chaoyi of Hotan Road. Now Major General Tian Lu is dead, and the agreement will naturally be invalidated.

When Xiao Lang resigned, he was clean and had nothing but a box of books. Even the Japanese commander admired his integrity and talent, and told his subordinates not to make things difficult for him.

In the chilly spring season, Xiao Lang left Beitai in a mule cart and walked on the avenue outside the city. The willow trees on both sides were quietly sprouting tender buds. In the large fields, tiny branches and leaves grew, which did not look like wheat seedlings.

"What are you planted in the field?" Xiao Lang asked the driver.

The coachman shook his whip and said, "It's earth."

"earth?"

"It's big smoke. In the 13th year of the Republic of China, we planted tens of thousands of acres of tobacco seedlings in Jiangbei. However, in that season, the Grand Marshal's ban on smoking was shoveled. Unexpectedly, he planted it again now. This thing is harmful." The coachman sighed, unwilling to talk more.

The mule cart walked ten miles and stopped at a carriage shop on the side of the road. The coachman fed the mule. Xiao Lang went into the shop to rest. He saw a person sitting in the shop, wearing a balm sheepskin coat, a felt hat, tall and bearded, which was Chen Zikun who had not seen for a long time.

"Mayor Xiao, it's been a long time since I was gone." Chen Zikun smiled.

Xiao Lang smiled and said, "You are so brave. It's less than five hundred meters away from here, and it's the Japanese artillery tower."

Chen Zikun said: "This is called dark under the light."

The store was empty and there were no idle people waiting. I thought this was a contact point for the guerrillas. Xiao Lang felt relieved and said, "You have suffered in the past few months."

Chen Zikun said: "Isn't that true? When I went to the theater command for a meeting, the enemy launched a sweep. When I came back, I was unable to recover. The team suffered a lot of losses. Jiangbei has coal and iron resources and an iron smelting plant. The enemy dispatched heavy troops, and it was too difficult to open up the situation."

As he said that, he sighed and picked up the teacup. In fact, there was something else in his heart. Zhao Ziming, who regarded him as his nephew, actually joined the Eighth Route Army. Although it was a united front, it also made people feel a little confused. He had talked to Zhao Ziming that this kid was stubborn and believed in the truth. Eight horses couldn't help but worry about it for the sake of his dead father.

Xiao Lang felt sad. In his impression, Chen Zikun seemed to never sigh, but now he sighed, thinking that the prospects for the War of Resistance Against Japan were quite bad.

He thought for a while and said, "The situation on the battlefield in Europe is unclear, and Britain and France finally met with German soldiers. I think the French army and the British navy are still unparalleled in the world. After they resolve Germany, it will be Japan's turn."

Chen Zikun smiled bitterly: "I have been to Berlin before. The German Socialist Workers' Party has extraordinary brainwashing skills. Germans are all ill. I'm afraid that Germany will sing a pot of British and French this time."

Xiao Lang pondered for a moment and said, "There is still the United States."

Chen Zikun said: "Americans are not stupid. Even if they participate in the war, they have to wait until the world is ruined before they can take advantage of it. Alas, why are they getting further and further? They originally wanted to welcome you, what are they planning to do after resigning as mayor?"

Xiao Lang said: "I plan to go into the mountains to join the guerrillas. I wonder if you are welcome."

Chen Zikun laughed: "Of course we welcome. Mayor Xiao brought a bookcase. Are you going to study hard in the mountains?"

Xiao Lang said: "This is not an idle book, it is all reference books."

Chen Zikun was curious and walked over and moved the bookcase and opened it. It was full of foreign books, mostly metallurgical and chemicals.

Xiao Lang said: "You need passionate men, but you need even more knowledge. I went to the mountain this time and planned to help you build a real military factory."
