"Captain, is this a good thing?" Seeing Zhou Cheng becoming more and more excited as he spoke, Xiang Feng asked quickly.

"Of course it's a good thing!" Zhou Cheng replied without hesitation.

"No matter whether the Japanese commander was killed or seriously injured by us, it will seriously damage the morale and morale of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Donghui Town stronghold. This is one of them."

"Even if the Japanese are angry and want to take revenge on us, it will be half a month later. This is the second benefit."

"Think about it, if the Japanese commander is injured by us, the Donghui Town stronghold will not be replaced. If you want to retaliate against us, the Japanese must wait for their commander to recover their wounds before they can act."

"He was carried back by his subordinates on a stretcher. The injury is definitely not serious. Not to mention half a month, he might not recover in a month."

"If the Japanese commander is killed by us, if the Japanese army wants to retaliate against us, they must transfer a new officer from the county town."

"If the new official takes office, he will definitely not attack us rashly if he is not familiar with his own troops."

"So we will not be attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops in the next few months or as long as one month."

"With these half a month to one month, we can hurry up and prepare for the battle."

"At that time, the village protection team can still pull it out even if it has not yet formed its combat effectiveness and fight with the Japanese, so that they will not be beaten passively."

Xiang Feng was happy and immediately replied: "Captain, there are now two young people willing to join our village protection team."

"Today we won such a big victory, with guns and bullets. The young people in the village who were worried will definitely give up their concerns and ask to join us."

"I am confident that I will expand the village protection team to more than ten people within three days, but I don't know if the gun is enough."

"Enough!" When it comes to seizure, Zhou Cheng's smile became stronger.

"The last hand grenade thrown by the Japanese broke out three guns, but the other three guns were intact, all of which were 38 blocks used by the Japanese."

"In addition, all the ammunition contained in the bullet box is intact. I counted: There are six large bullet boxes, twelve small bullet boxes, and a total of more than 700 rounds, all of which are 38 large covers and crooked handles. "

"There are eight melon grenades used by the Japanese themselves."

"In addition to the twelve Hanyang-made items we seized in the village, more than 300 79-caliber bullets, it is definitely no problem to arm more than a dozen soldiers."

"You go into the mountains and call the villagers back now, and then discuss with one side, and immediately mobilize the villagers to join our village protection team."

After the villagers returned to the village, many people's eyes changed when they looked at Zhou Cheng.

Some are admired, some are moved, some are shocked... very complicated.

Especially after seeing the bodies of Japanese and puppet soldiers who were still in the village, the shock in my heart could no longer be described in words, and even speaking to Zhou Cheng became respectful.

Zhou Cheng learned that when everyone went back to the village, Xiang Feng was like a battle tour guide, telling his experience in the village, how the captain used grenades and spearheads to kill the Japanese... They all spoke vividly, and there were even many exaggerations, which directly portrayed Li Hao into an invincible hero.

Xiang Feng has his own little thoughts when he does this.

Only by letting everyone realize the strength of the village protection team and knowing that the village protection team has a captain who directs them to train and protect them, will the villagers’ concerns be completely dispelled, accept the village protection team and join the village protection team.

After listening to Xiang Feng's introduction, everyone's reaction at the beginning was that they didn't believe it.

Xiang Feng became more and more excited as he spoke, and he became more and more in-depth as he spoke. With a firm statement, people gradually began to believe it. Then the scene just happened: the villagers looked at Zhou Cheng when they entered the village and looked at him with shock and admiration.

When everyone saw one corpse after another in the village, everyone believed Xiang Feng's words and treated Zhou Cheng as a hero from the bottom of their hearts, so they became respectful when they spoke to him.

Zhou Cheng did not stop Xiang Feng from exaggerating the battle just now, nor did he object to the two of them to portray themselves as heroes.

If a unit, especially a newly established unit, wants to form combat effectiveness, it must have a commander who convinces everyone to unite everyone, so that the troops can quickly form combat effectiveness and not be disorganized when encountering the enemy.

As the future commander of the village protection team, if you want to gain everyone's trust and let everyone support themselves unconditionally and convince them, you must definitely need a military achievement that can be used and a hero.

What Xiang Feng and Li Yifang are doing now is to portray themselves as heroes...

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Cheng stayed in the Land Temple to tinker with several rifles that were blown up by the Japanese to see if there was any possibility of repair.

A series of footsteps suddenly sounded at the door, and there were still quite a few people listening to the sound.

Zhou Cheng quickly looked over: Xiang Feng, Li Yifang, the two of them walked in with eight young people one after another!

"Captain, these eight are young people who took the initiative to join the village guard team after returning to the village to help us clean the scene after the villagers went back to the village guard team and fought against the Japanese to protect their families. Yifang and I learned about it. They are all young men in their twenties, so they must be in good condition to join the village guard team." Xiang Feng reported a surprise report. He obviously did not expect that a victory would have such a great impact on the villagers. He instantly dispelled their concerns and took the initiative to join the village guard team.

Zhou Cheng was confused for a moment, but he didn't expect them to be so fast.

But I quickly reacted, suppressed my inner excitement, and strode over to observe one by one.

Xiang Feng stood beside him and introduced: "This is Wang Dahu. The last time the Japanese swept the enemy, his old father was beaten by the Japanese army and died in less than two days. He was the first young man in the village to ask to join the village protection team, and he kept telling me that he wanted to kill the Japanese to take revenge."

"There are two brothers in the family, not only sons, and they fully meet the recruitment requirements of our Eighth Route Army."

"This is called Chen Zhu. There are relatives in the family who died at the hands of the Japanese. They are not the only son!"

"This is Liang Hongjiang, not his only son, and he can shoot..."

There are no only sons, and they are all young people, and they have more or less hatred with the Japanese... Of course, Zhou Cheng would not refuse them to join the village protection team and immediately ordered them.

"There are eight new recruits in total, and you will be three of them, Liang Hongjiang, Wang Tieshan and me. They are two of them who can shoot guns and practice marksmanship. The others train according to the standards of new recruits."

When Liang Hongjiang heard that he was learning to fight the Japanese with Zhou Cheng, he was immediately excited.

Staring at Zhou Cheng, he asked, "Captain, can I follow you and my shooting skills be as good as you? I will shoot a Japanese devil on the battlefield and kill them one by one."

Zhou Cheng knew that this must be Xiang Feng walking in front of them and exaggerating his marksmanship.

But there was no denial and answered in front of Liang Hongjiang's expectant gaze: "As long as you listen to me, I promise that your shooting skills will progress rapidly in a month, and you will hit wherever you point within a range of 100 meters?"

"Really!" Liang Hongjiang was more excited than before.

"Of course it's true. This is how I practiced my marksmanship." Li Hao affirmed.

Seeing that the others also stared at him with a eager expression, Zhou Cheng continued: "Early tomorrow morning, everyone will officially join the village protection team, and I will personally fire the gun to everyone."

"From tomorrow, you will be trained in the morning and trained in the marksmanship and tactical skills in the afternoon."

"When practicing gun technique, first practice aiming with a gun, then practice shooting. After meeting the requirements, I will give each of you ten bullets for live ammunition training."
