Let's move back to my place

  That night at the banquet, two deputy-level cadres were promoted, and Xu Liangqing and Yuan Jing were officially entered into the decision-making level of the assault regiment. In fact, in Luo Yi's mind, the command ability of these two people was stronger than that of several original military officers, but everything had to be considered for seniority. Lu Shuangyong and others were military officers when the assault regiment started, and later comers couldn't be ranked before them all at once. Wait until they have some outstanding performances in the future, win respect with their own abilities, and then naturally promote them, everyone will not say anything.

  With wine enough and dishes full, everyone dispersed with joy. Luo Yi shouted to Yuan Jing, who had a slight drunken intention: "Xiao Jing, don't live alone in the camp department from now on, it's not convenient either. You might as well move to my place to live?"

  "Ah?" Several men who were walking out turned their heads in unison and stared at Luo Yi, "This is too fast, isn't it?"

  "Hey, hey, can't you guys be a bit more sunny? I'm just letting Xiaojing go live with Zengshan, two girls keeping each other company, isn't that great? Like taking a bath and stuff, it's way more convenient."

  "Oh... taking a bath?" Several old men from the assault camp said with deep meaning, Luo Zi had a bad habit of peeking at Zeng Shan's bath in the past, could it be that he was going to repeat his old trick?

  Lu Yi was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices. Fortunately, Yuan Jing still reacted normally and didn't think of anything indecent. Since she lived in the barracks, it was indeed a bit troublesome. When Lu Yi invited her, she hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Lu Yi quickly arranged for someone to help her move, avoiding those men who had ulterior motives.

  Lu Shuangyong was still living in the barracks, while Le Jialin, Su Xiaofeng and Wang Dacheng walked back and forth together, chatting about Luo Yi and Yuan Jing's story.

  "Is Luo Zi being too greedy? There's a young lady in the bowl, and she's still eyeing the female Red Army in the pot?" Su Xiao Feng muttered to say.

  Luo Jialin indignantly said: "He himself said that even good cabbage is let pigs trample, I think he is just a big pig."

  "Alas, that's also his skill. I think that female Red Army has a crush on Luo Zi. The way she called out to him, so sweet and gentle, it even makes my heart itch."

  "Hah, what's itching you? Isn't your skin itching yet? Dare to compete with the captain for cabbage?" Su Xiaofeng joked.

  Lao Lin said mysteriously: "Seriously speaking, are you two thinking of getting a cabbage and taking a bite?"

  "Bai Cai? Where did the bai cai come from?" Wang Da Cheng and Su Xiao Feng asked simultaneously.

  "There are several girls in the garment factory who look really good, all of them are great catches. I'm telling you, they were specifically introduced to me by Luo Zi, saying they're for us few guys to marry."

  "Really?" Wang Dacheng and Su Xiaofeng's mouths were watering, both in their early 20s, young people who had been cooped up in the mountains with no way out, now that they had entered the town, seeing the beautiful girls around them, couldn't help but feel delighted.

  "However, Luo Zi also said that this kind of thing cannot be forced, a squeezed melon is not sweet, and you have to rely on your abilities to strive for it. Tomorrow, all of you will follow me to the garment factory to select people, if you're selected, think of ways to get close to them. In Luo Zi's words, this is called 'picking up girls'."

  "Damn it, how does this Luozi know so much?"

  "In this aspect, Luo Zi is an expert..."

  Not to mention a few young military officers who made the dream of factory girls, Luo Yi brought Yuan Jing back to his own mansion. Zeng Shan heard that Yuan Jing would live with him from now on, and quickly cleaned up her room. She remembered what she had said to Luo Yi, letting Yuan Jing be Luo Yi's legitimate wife, and herself being a concubine was enough. Luo Yi didn't agree at the time, but now he brought the person back, this man is really not a good thing...

  The Battle of Mugua disrupted the National Army's deployment, leading to a week of chaos. After conducting another dragnet search in the area west of Nanxun Railway, the National Army command could only treat the disappearance of Pan Yishan's regiment as an enigma. Every commander firmly believed that such a large-scale annihilation battle could only be carried out by the Red Army. But where did this Red Army unit go? No one could explain. No one thought that this incident had anything to do with the local security forces, and Zhushan Town was completely excluded from their line of sight.

  After a period of adjustment, the National Army marched westward again, pushing all the way to Pingjiang in Hunan. However, during this time, the Red Army had dispersed and some troops had moved to western Hunan to join forces with the Second and Sixth Armies. Another part of the force was transformed into small guerrilla units that carried out mobile warfare in the mountains, losing their ability to attack cities. The original Soviet area was completely lost. Most of the National Army turned south to participate in the encirclement of the Central Soviet Area, marking the end of large-scale battles in western Jiangxi.

  The various constructions in Zhushan Town have returned to normal. The gold mine has been reopened, accumulating funds for the assault camp. The garment factory has also resumed production, but the female workers have discovered that there are several suspicious men in the factory area who are said to be battalion commanders of the assault camp. The factory director would occasionally notify a certain female worker to take measurements for a military uniform for a certain officer, and those who had this honor were all relatively pretty female workers. Under Luo Yi's guidance, the actions of the pig-headed battalion commanders have made some progress, and later, Lu Shuangyong also joined their ranks.

  Xu Liangqing left the Northeast Army and came to Tongzhou, where he married a local village girl and became a son-in-law. Now that he has become an officer again, Luo Yi arranged for him to bring his wife from the village to Zhushan Town. He bought a small house with his salary and lived there, living a pretty good life, and his wife seemed to be walking unsteadily too, probably because she was about to have a child.

  The training of the assault battalion has resumed. With the replenishment of weapons captured from Pan Yishan's company, the assault battalion expanded by 50 people, with a total of over 140 people, equivalent to the establishment of a regular company. The three companies under the assault battalion each had nearly 40 people and were initially formed in scale. The company was divided into 3 classes, and class leaders were selected, but the platoon leader level was still temporarily vacant. As for the sniper squad and the guard squad led by Tu Jiu, they were directly under the command of the battalion headquarters, commanded directly by Luo Yi and Lu Shuangyong.

  The Lunar New Year of 1934 was approaching, and the atmosphere in Zhushan Town was filled with joy. In the past few months, Luo Yi had invested tens of thousands of dollars in various construction projects in Zhushan Town. Part of this money was used to purchase machinery and building materials, while a considerable portion went into the wages of local workers, which greatly improved the lives of local residents. With the arrival of the New Year, people who had cash in their pockets were planning to celebrate with a big bang. Some parents who doted on their children had already bought firecrackers and fireworks for them, and the popping sound of firecrackers made people feel even more festive.

  The old veterans of the assault camp were mostly homeless or had difficulty returning home, so they stayed in town for the New Year. The new recruits, mainly recruited locally, were allowed by Luo Yi to return home and reunite with their families during the New Year's holiday. After all, the assault camp currently has no clear enemy, and the troops do not need to be overly tense. The miners on the mountain finally got permission to go down the mountain and return home, but they were still strictly required not to reveal the true situation of the mine, only saying that they were picking stones on the mountain to make money. Luo Yi knew that there was no wall that would not leak, and the secret of the mine would eventually be known to people, and when that time came, he could only rely on his strength to protect his interests.

  Zeng Shan and Yuan Jing have become even closer since they started living together, almost like real sisters. Zeng Shan hasn't spent Chinese New Year with ordinary people for many years, so she's extremely excited now, busy every day sticking window decorations and making New Year's goods with Yuan Jing. In Zeng Shan's heart, there is a very contradictory emotion. On the one hand, she regards Yuan Jing as her competitor, on the other hand, she thinks that in the future, two women will serve one husband together, so now they should cultivate some feelings first.

  Yuan Jing had no idea what Zeng Shan was thinking, she just treated Zeng Shan as a younger sister, and didn't even think about the existence of competition. In this girl's small brain, only her revolutionary ideals were installed, and there was no space to accommodate emotions and love. Of course, for this mysterious Luo Ziying, she still had some admiration and liking.
