    In response to Yang Zhen's words, the three commander-in-chief were not only shocked, but also showed a thoughtful look on their faces.  Compared with Guo Bingxun, who had been in the Sichuan Army and had not had much contact with the Soviets, the commander-in-chief and Li Yanping, who had personal experience of Yang Zhen's words, thought more.

    In fact, for those in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the reality over the years has made many of them, especially senior cadres, understand that the so-called assistance from Big Brother in the North is just a bubble that exists in fantasy.  It's just that many people still have some illusions about the fraternal party in the north and are unwilling to expose it.  Yang Zhen's words only knocked away their last glimmer of hope.

    However, after hearing Yang Zhen's last words, the commander-in-chief hesitated and said: "I will organize military personnel to find ways to improve this so-called automatic rifle to meet actual combat requirements. As for this kind of rocket launcher, I  I will also think of ways to organize people and produce one or two for demonstration first. But what do you think of those two submachine guns? Should you produce them both, or should you choose one for the time being?"

    Regarding the commander-in-chief's solicitation for production opinions, Yang Zhen said without even thinking: "Produce them all. Equipment using eight-millimeter bullets is provided to reconnaissance battalions, division headquarters security troops, as well as baggage troops, engineers, artillery and other non-frontline combatants."  . And equipment using 7.63mm Mauser pistol bullets is provided to field troops. The number of equipment for a squad must be at least two, and each squad leader and deputy squad leader shall be equipped with one."

    Regarding Yang Zhen's request, the commander-in-chief was not surprised. He just nodded lightly and said: "Don't worry, you are fighting the Japanese in the front, and I will definitely serve as a good steward for you in the rear. At least for military production.  One piece, you will definitely not be disappointed.¡±

    The commander-in-chief¡¯s statement not only means that he will personally take charge of the military industry in the future.  And on another level, it also means that he has decided to hand over full military command to Yang Zhen in the future, and he will only play a role in escorting Yang Zhen from the rear.

    The commander-in-chief is very principled.  His position as commander-in-chief was not self-appointed by himself, but was granted by his superiors.  It was impossible for him to make his own decision and give up the position of commander-in-chief to Yang Zhen, a young and even scary rising star in his eyes without the approval of his superiors.

    After this attack, in the face of Yang Zhen's brilliant achievements, the commander-in-chief's last remaining doubt about his ability disappeared completely.  Just because of organizational and principle reasons, he cannot give way to talents for the time being.  However, the commander-in-chief used a disguised method to hand over full command power to Yang Zhen, his self-appointed deputy commander-in-chief.  This is undoubtedly the extreme trust in Yang Zhen.

    Looking at the solemn expression of the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen understood the meaning of his words and nodded, but he also did not make it clear publicly.  Instead, he followed the topic of the commander-in-chief and said: "Then please leave it to the commander-in-chief. It all depends on you, commander-in-chief, how much victory our soldiers can achieve in the front without paying too many avoidable casualties due to lack of ammunition.  .¡±

    "On the battlefield, although the gap in equipment is not the only decisive factor, equipment is one of the most critical factors affecting the progress of the battle. Can military production independently solve the needs of most ammunition and even equipment?  , is related to the lifeblood of our survival and development. Only with sufficient ammunition can we have the capital to win the war."

    Seeing the serious expressions of Yang Zhen and the commander-in-chief, Li Yanping smiled and said: "Commander, don't worry. The commander-in-chief attaches great importance to military production. For so many years, we can only rely on the weapons seized from the Japanese and puppet troops."  We have suffered a lot in the ammunition war. Now we finally have our own arsenal. Although it is not large, it is our own arsenal after all. Will they not pay attention to it? "

    "But Commander, in addition to the military industry issue, there is another issue that urgently needs your decision. Liu Changshun's attack on the Jiasui Railway has rescued tens of thousands of workers. Can you see how these workers can be properly resettled? Can these workers be properly placed?  They are all young and middle-aged, and many of them are old and young. They range from middle-aged people in their thirties and forties to teenagers. I am afraid that these people will not be able to do what they do when they are integrated into the army."

    "In addition to many older people, there are even hundreds of women, children and other family members among them. We have not yet been able to obtain a stable base area and can only operate on the move. We are not yet able to lead  These people have been forced to move to war for a long time. Do you think we should pay them travel expenses and send them away, or what should we do with them?"

    Regarding these labor issues raised by Li Yanping, Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "We still can't be demobilized. If these people are demobilized, they can only be taken back again. If we can rescue them this time, they may not be able to be rescued next time."  You're so lucky. You don't know how the Japanese army treats laborers. Once they go back, it's better to build ordinary projects. If they are pulled to a top-secret construction site, I'm afraid that among themNo one survives.  "

    "And many of them have lost their homes. Even if they have homes, it is a long way from here to the pass, and I am afraid it will be difficult for them to get home safely. Moreover, soldiers with labor backgrounds account for a large part of our army. Will  Their demobilization will affect the mood of the troops."

    "Those who are older and unable to march and fight will be strictly examined. If there are no problems, they will be sent to the arsenal as workers. Isn't our arsenal short of manpower? The younger ones will be taken in and run a school. Or learn military industry knowledge,  Lay a foundation for some talents for the future development of military industry. Or send them to the army and set up a juvenile military academy to cultivate command skills from an early age. As for women, we are short of manpower to make military uniforms. Organize them and establish a uniform factory."

    Having said this, Yang Zhen said to the few people in front of him: "I have made up my mind not to move. We will build our anti-Japanese base areas in Tangyuan, Luobei, and Foyun. This place is backed by the Lesser Khingan Mountains and faces the Sanjiang Plain.  The west is a vast swamp and wilderness, with a lot of room for maneuver. And with the Soviet Union at our back, at least we don¡¯t have to worry about being surrounded from all sides.¡±

    "In addition, this is the old guerrilla base area of ??the former Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese War, and it has a pretty good mass base. So I decided that if we don't leave, we will establish our base area here. As long as we have a stable base area, we will  Only those who cannot become rogues can develop and grow. Therefore, these people do not need to be demobilized. After strict review, they will be resettled on site. If it is not possible, let them open up wasteland and cultivate land."

    Having said this, Yang Zhen did not look at the stunned people who heard his final decision. They stood up and said: "Let's go and see these workers and their families. We have rescued so many workers, but those with their families are still  This is the first time I have seen them. These people with their families were deceived by the Japanese and puppets, and they are different from those who were captured. It is good for us people to go and visit, which is good for stabilizing their emotions."

    Seeing what Yang Zhen had done, he stood up and was about to walk out. Li Yanping, who quickly recovered from his surprise, quickly grabbed him and said, "Commander, please wait a moment. Put on the new uniform first."  Go. They have been here for a few days and don't care about this moment. You go there wearing this Japanese skin and scare them again."

    After that, Li Yanping pointed to Yang Zhen, who was still wearing a Japanese military uniform with only his rank and collar insignia removed, and the yellow five-pointed star cap badge on his head, which looked like a Japanese soldier.  Standard field hat.  He waved to the guard who had been following him and placed the new military uniform that he had taken from unknown time on the table.

    Looking at the so-called Japanese military uniform on the table, compared with the Japanese military uniform I was wearing, there was no change in style, except that a badge and armband were added to the Japanese military uniform.  It's just that the military cap was changed to the so-called new military uniform designed by himself, which was later known as the Liberation Hat. Yang Zhen could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

    The military cap was changed and a badge was added with two lines of black characters that read "People's Republic of China" on the top and "Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces" on the bottom. The armband was printed with 2jd1b, which marks the English abbreviation of the independent first division of the Jidong Military Region of the Second Route Army.  Just to have a difference with the Japanese army.

    And the style of the military uniforms is still no different from the Japanese military uniforms.  Even the military uniforms themselves were made from captured Japanese military uniforms.  The biggest difference from the Japanese military uniforms can only be found in the military cap, which is still very poor in style.  It is almost incompatible with the so-called new military uniforms.  The so-called new style is just compared with the original Japanese military uniform.

    Looking at the military uniform handed over by Li Yanping, Yang Zhen said nothing more.  After all, this military uniform was decided based on his own conditions after discussing with Guo Bingxun.  Even though it looks ugly, it is more suitable for my current situation.  In any case, after putting on this military uniform, I finally have a certain difference from the Japanese army.

    After Yang Zhen, Guo Bingxun and Li Yanping put on the so-called new military uniforms, they called Zhang Ting and rushed to the temporary resettlement place for the workers and their families rescued by Liu Changshun.  .

    Yang Zhen only saw the abuse of laborers and their families by the Japanese army in later books, but in reality he only saw the cruel abuse of laborers, but not the plight of laborers¡¯ families.  Go take a look for yourself and try your best to help solve any problems.

    Although Yang Zhen had already been mentally prepared, Yang Zhen was still filled with sadness when he saw the miserable condition of the rescued workers¡¯ families.  These family members, like the laborers, suffer from widespread malnutrition.  Almost none of the clothes on his body were complete, almost all of them were patches upon patches.  These are still people with clothes, and some even wear only a sack as clothing.  Mostly barefoot.

    Although it has been two days since these workers and their families were rescued, Li Yanping could only ensure that they had food before coming up with any advice.  There are quite a lot of clothes and cloth in the camp now.There is considerable stock.  But they are all standard Japanese military uniforms.  If the situation continues, once they decide to demobilize, it will only bring them fatal disasters.

    When Yang Zhen arrived, these workers and their families were eating.  Seeing Yang Zhen and his entourage come in, almost everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at the heavily armed soldiers in front of them with horror and even some confusion.

    Even those children who were gluttonous and reluctant to put down their chopsticks, which were probably the only meals they had eaten since arriving in Northeast China, were snatched away by adults and placed on a makeshift table made of stone slabs.

    Seeing everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, Yang Zhen walked to the table, looked at the food in their bowls, and touched a child's head. He turned to Li Yanping and Zhang Ting who were following behind him and said, "Political commissar,  Everyone must be fed. Even if they are not well fed, they must be fed. Let everyone recover their strength first. In addition, give everyone a set of clothes. Isn¡¯t there some in the warehouse? Women cannot be allowed to  They were only wearing a sack."

    "Zhang Ting, we must do a good job in epidemic prevention. With so many people gathering together and the weather starting to get hot again, it would be very serious if the epidemic spreads. In addition, check the health of all women and children. If they are found to be sick,  We must pay close attention to treatment. If you need any supplies, go to the chief of staff."

    Li Yanping nodded when he heard this and said: "Commander, to these workers and their families, we distribute food according to rations every day. Although we cannot guarantee good food due to the shortage of non-staple food, we can definitely guarantee that we are full. The commander-in-chief also  Give an order to give each child a can of beef every day."

    "As for the reason for not distributing clothes, we haven't figured out how to arrange for these family members. You know, the clothes we have in stock here are all Japanese military uniforms. Once the decision is made to demobilize the employees, the clothes given to them can easily kill them.  It¡¯s a disaster. Now that it¡¯s been decided, I¡¯ll explain it right away. I¡¯ll give it to them after they finish their meal.¡±

    "It's just that our inventory is not sufficient. In this way, the troops have now issued new military uniforms. The Japanese-style military uniforms they replaced were originally going to be added with armbands and badges as a reserve. I see that this batch of old ones has been worn to a certain extent.  Let¡¯s not recycle the military uniforms for the time being, just send them to them directly.¡±

    In response to Li Yanping's advice, Yang Zhen nodded and said: "Before posting, it's best to organize them to take turns to take a bath to eliminate lice. Also, destroy all the original clothes they changed into. In addition, there are more women now.  You must pay attention to the discipline of the troops. Political Commissar, you must pay more attention to this matter. You must not lead to any violation of discipline."

    Yang Zhen, who had just finished arranging the future life of the workers' families with Li Yanping, was suddenly struck by a boy of about thirteen years old with stubborn eyes who had no clothes on him, not even a sack, and only approved a cement paper bag.  The eyes are drawn.

    ¡°Perhaps the child¡¯s stubborn eyes reminded him of himself at this age in later generations.  Yang Zhen knelt down, touched the child's head, and said in a very kind tone, "How old are you? Are you thirteen this year? Where are you from? Where are your parents?"

    The child looked at the crowd in front of him, followed by several guards with box guns. He didn't know who the official was, and he was obviously at a loss.  In response to Yang Zhen's question, although he didn't look like the other children around him who were frightened and trembled all over.  But he also lowered his head and did not answer.

    Seeing that he did not answer the question of Yang Zhen, a bandit leader described by the Puppet Manchukuo military police as a vicious bandit, a person next to the child quickly answered for him for fear that it would bring disaster to his life: "Sir, his name is  He Shixian is from Jimo, Shandong. Sir, you have good taste. Even though he is thin, he is still thirteen this year."

    "Their father used to be a teacher there. The year before last, the Japanese invaded Shandong and said they were arresting anti-Japanese elements. They arrested the principal and many teachers of the school, and the school was forced to close. Once the school was closed,  His father also lost his job. In order to support the family, when the Japanese were recruiting laborers in Jimo last year, they signed up and came here with their whole family to build the railway."

    "His father was a scholar, and his body was too weak to do heavy work. Last year, because he failed to lift the rails, a Japanese guard broke his waist with a pickaxe. Because there was no money for medical treatment, the Japanese and the guards refused to treat him, so he suffered a lot.  In March, I died of pain in the labor shed just before the Chinese New Year."

    "When his father died, his mother had just given birth to his sister and had not yet given birth to a baby. His father died and could not work, and the little acorn flour he had been given was no longer given. Because there was no food to eat.  Cold, hungry, and anxious, he also went there. His newly born little sister also starved to death because she had no milk."

    ¡°When we came last year, we had a large family, but at the beginning of this year, onlyHe had a ten-year-old brother and a six-year-old sister with him.  He was too young to do heavy work, and the acorn meal he received could not feed his younger siblings.  There is no other choice but to give the younger siblings to local people.  Now he is the only one left in their family.  "

    Listening to the introduction of the child¡¯s situation by the fellow villagers, Yang Zhen sighed deeply.  In later generations, many children of this age still stay by their parents' side and act coquettishly all day long.  Not to mention supporting themselves, most people don¡¯t even know how to wash their own socks.  I'm either busy chasing stars or paying attention to brand-name sneakers all day long.

    But the child in front of him, who should be sitting in a bright classroom reading at this time, can only think of ways to support himself.  Not to mention studying, just surviving is a difficult choice.

    After sighing for a long time, Yang Zhen gathered the child close to him and said: "From your name and what happened to your father, you should be literate. In this case, will you follow me as a soldier to fight the Japanese and avenge your parents?"

    When the child heard Yang Zhen¡¯s words, he raised his head and did not immediately answer Yang Zhen¡¯s words.  After staring at the words on the badge on the chest of Yang Zhen's military uniform for a while, he said: "Sir, are you really a unit that fights against Japanese invaders? If you really fight against Japanese soldiers, I will join the army."

    Seeing the child staring at his badge, Yang Zhen smiled and touched his head and said: "Didn't you already know when we were rescued whether we were really fighting the Japanese? I'm telling you.  , The little Japs don¡¯t like to pick up the newly built railways when they have nothing to do. And doesn¡¯t this badge have the words Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces written on it? Do you think we are really fighting the Japs? "

    ¡°However, the child didn¡¯t seem to be too convinced by Yang Zhen¡¯s words.  After hesitating for a while, he said: "Okay, as long as the commander is not like some officers' troops in Shandong. After firing a few decent shots, he either ran away somewhere or defected to the Japanese to join the Imperial Alliance Army. As long as you  If you are determined to fight the Japanese, I will follow you and serve as your guard."

    Speaking of this, the child said with a somewhat proud tone: "I have been studying with my father since I was four years old, and I know a lot of words. After I entered elementary school, my grades were among the best in the school. Not only was I good in Chinese literature, but I was also good in arithmetic."  Yes. Even though I am only thirteen years old, I have already finished high school and am studying junior high school courses by myself. If the little devils hadn¡¯t come here, I would have gone to the best university in China."

    After hearing the child's childish words, Yang Zhen burst into laughter, turned to Li Yanping and Zhang Ting and said: "I really can't believe that this kid knows a lot, and he actually knows that there are guards in the army.  Knowing how to bargain at such a young age will be a big deal when you grow up."

    After saying that, he turned around and said to the child: "Yes, you are a little kid but a little smart. I will accept you as a soldier. However, you are not qualified to be a guard for me yet. It will take a few more years."  .¡±

    After joking about this very clever kid, Yang Zhen turned to Guo Bingxun and said: "This kid sounds like he has read a lot of books and is very clever. If you train him well, he will be a talent in the future. In this way, you  When he has time, let him learn more about communications from you."

    "In your free time, work harder and try to train one of our own code-breaking experts. As for him, let him follow Zhang Ting on weekdays and learn more basic knowledge."

    Regarding Yang Zhen¡¯s idea, Guo Bingxun just smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.  Although this kid still seemed a bit naive due to his age in the conversation he had just had with Yang Zhen, he showed a sense of intelligence in every aspect.  Guo Bingxun liked his cleverness very much, so he agreed to Yang Zhen's idea without even thinking about it.

    After arranging the child's future life, Yang Zhen was about to explain to the boy who looked reluctant after hearing his arrangement why he was not allowed to directly take a gun to fight the Japanese.  The graduated trainee staff officer hurried over and reported: "Commander, political commissar, and chief of staff, if there is an emergency, the commander-in-chief asks you to return to the war room immediately."

    Hearing the staff report and thinking of Dong Ping who was still monitoring the Japanese Fourth Division, Yang Zhen handed the child to Zhang Ting and hurriedly returned to the war room with Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun.
