Chapter 40 The old village chief

Ding Wei came to the communication room, where a new regiment seized the radio station from the Japanese.

Looking at this radio station, it is still brand new, and the new one is well protected.

Ding Wei admired Li Yunlong a little. When he was in the 28th Regiment, he tried every means to get a radio station from the Japanese, but he never gained any results. If the battle with the Japanese, if all the Japanese cannot be solved in time, the Japanese would definitely destroy the radio station. Unless the Japanese were eliminated in a short time, the Japanese would do everything possible to destroy the radio station. This made Ding Wei try many times, but he failed to successfully seize a radio station.

"Send a report to the headquarters." Ding Wei ordered.

The prepared telegrapher acted quickly and soon contacted the radio station at the headquarters. Seeing all this, Ding Wei was a little satisfied. The telegrapher was still very fast. The new first regiment could have a telegrapher, which was brought by Li Yunlong, the leader of the brigade. Otherwise, how could the new first regiment have a talent like telegrapher?

After reporting Liu Gen's proposal to ask the soldiers to reclaim wasteland, Ding Wei left the communication room, took a walk around the regiment headquarters, and watched the training of the soldiers in the security company, Ding Wei left the regiment headquarters and walked towards the position of the first battalion. As the regiment commander, Ding Wei was preparing to go to each battalion to see their training and the mental outlook of the soldiers. The political commissar of the new regiment had not arrived yet, and I don't know when the headquarters would be assigned.

Unlike Li Yunlong, Ding Wei can accept that a political commissar works with him. With the assistance of the political commissar, he can also be more relaxed. Ding Wei has some expectations and hopes that the political commissar who is assigned to the new first regiment can get along with him and can cooperate with him.

...

In the artillery company, the soldiers with insufficient abilities were training hard. They were a little envious of the soldiers who were taken away by Liu Gen. After conducting such training, these soldiers had long felt that it was a bit boring, but there was no way. They still had some shortcomings and could only stay for training.

The first squad leader was a little harsh. He knew that the role the artillery company needed to play in combat was naturally not afraid to slack off. He had high requirements for these soldiers with insufficient abilities, and hoped that these soldiers would become better as soon as possible and not affect the combat effectiveness of the artillery company. It was also Liu Gen who knew this that he would stay the squad leader to train the soldiers.

The second squad leader and the third squad leader are also good, but they are a little worse than the first squad leader. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Gen will focus on cultivating the first squad leader. When Liu Gen leaves the new squad leader, he will let the first squad leader take over. I think that by that time, the first squad leader should have grown up.

In the wasteland, Liu Gen led the soldiers to wave picks and constantly reclaim the wasteland. The soldiers were still very fast. Twenty or thirty people worked together, and they should be able to reclaim about five acres of land today. If they took more time, they could also reclaim more land, but Liu Gen was not ready to do this, and the soldiers still needed training.

The soldiers of the artillery company do not need to reclaim too much land. About thirty or forty acres of land is enough. Besides, Liu Gen also needs to leave some land for other soldiers of the New First Regiment. The artillery company cannot reclaim all the wasteland. What should the others of the New First Regiment do? After reclaiming about five acres of wasteland, Liu Gen took the soldiers back to the training ground and continued today's training.

After instructing the soldiers to conduct training, Liu Gen started to redirect the village. He found the village chief and prepared to discuss with the village chief about asking the villagers to take care of the crops. Taking care of the crops is not too heavy. Moreover, the wasteland was cultivated by the soldiers and the seeds were also provided by the New Group. Many villagers should be willing to do this.

"Are the village chief here?" When I came to the village center, the village chief's house was here.

The village chief is actually an old man in this village, with a high reputation. He would solve any problems in the village. Over time, the old man became the village chief.

"Little comrade, are you doing something?" After waiting for a while, the old man opened the wooden door that had been repaired.

There is no way. Some slightly rich people in the village will run to the town to live, and only some poor families stay in the village. Not to mention that due to the influence of the war, the strong labor force in the village has become less and less, which makes the elderly in the village occupy the majority.

"Old man, this is the case. Our comrades have reclaimed some wasteland and we will provide the seeds. I wonder if the villagers are willing to take care of our crops? Their life will not be too heavy. After the grain is harvested, some will be distributed to the villagers." Liu Gen hurried forward and supported the trembling old village chief.

The old village chief was slightly stunned. After a moment, a hint of joy appeared on his face and his body stopped trembling. "Little comrade, are you telling the truth?"

"Old man, it must be true. If the villagers are willing, they can come to the Artillery Company to find me in the afternoon. The Artillery Company is located on the east side of the village, you should know." Liu Gen said softly.

"I know, I know, there were rumbling cannons coming from there yesterday. We thought it was the Japanese who came." said the old village chief.

"I'm really sorry, we were testing the artillery yesterday and forgot to notify everyone in the village. If you have any problems in the future, I will notify everyone in advance." Liu Gen quickly apologized.

Yesterday, live-fire shooting was carried out and the soldiers of the New First Regiment were notified, but they forgot to notify the villagers in the village. Liu Gen told himself to remember this matter firmly. Fortunately, the villagers did not receive much influence, otherwise Liu Gen would not be able to make up for it if he apologized.

"It's okay, I was born in a chaotic world, and we old people are already accustomed to the sound of cannons." The old village chief sighed, feeling a little depressed.

Liu Gen nodded and looked at the old man with a feeling of discomfort. In such a chaotic world, the old man's life was quite hard. Liu Gen could see that the old village chief had many patches on his clothes and his body was very thin. As the village chief, his conditions were probably not much better than ordinary villagers.

"Let's go, comrade, I'll call the villagers now. You can tell you a lot. There must be many people who are willing to help you take care of the crops."

"If the land is enough, the old man will help you take care of the crops. I just hope you don't dislike me, the old man. If the land is not enough, let the villagers claim it first. The old man still has some food to store, and can still hold on." The old village chief looked at Liu Gen with a long look, and hesitated for a long time before he said it.

Liu Gen looked at the old village chief with a little wet eyes. They didn't need this.

"Old village chief, don't worry, the land is definitely enough. Our Eighth Route Army is a team of the people. When there is free time, you can also ask the soldiers to help everyone reclaim the land." Liu Gen said with a serious look and promised directly.

Liu Gen felt that it was necessary to do something for the villagers, and it was still very necessary to let the soldiers help the villagers to reclaim the land. There were so many elderly people in the village, without the help of the soldiers, the land they could reclaim would definitely be less, and the lives of the elderly would be even harder. With the help of the soldiers, the elderly would be more relaxed.

"Little comrade, thank you, thank you Eighth Route Army! Thank you!" The old village chief held Liu Gen's hand with an excited expression.
