Zhang Hongbao is a shrewd man. He mainly exchanges his wealth for gold and silver coins that are small in size and have a high value retention rate, as well as weapons and ammunition.

These were hard currency in troubled times, his retreat and capital for a comeback, but now they are all taken away by Zhang Yunfei and the others.

Zhang Hongbao's personal collection is their biggest gain this time. The weapons and ammunition alone are enough to equip hundreds of people. This guy's money-making methods are evident.

Fortunately, this batch of supplies is mainly expensive, but they are easy to move and do not take up too many manpower.

The situation was tense, so in order not to affect the evacuation of people, they could only pick out valuable items.

Zhang Yunfei still wasted a lot of time dealing with these matters here and arranging the retreat. They had no time to delay any longer.

Zhang Yunfei had no choice but to order his troops to stop everything they were doing and prepare to retreat. At the same time, he ordered Wang Zejun's Second Company, which was advancing forward, not to fight head-on when encountering enemy reinforcements, but to slow down the enemy's movement with cold shots.

Although it would be a pity to burn the supplies that cannot be taken away, there is nothing we can do about it. We cannot keep them and return them to the enemy.

As soon as the cannon was fired, Wanliang of gold was indeed right. For such a small mountain town, all the soldiers packed small bags and gained a lot.

"Secretary Qian, you don't look well, are you okay?" When Zhang Yunfei saw Qian Dedong again during the retreat, he looked pale and in poor spirits.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Qian Dedong held his breath, always feeling that the smell of blood was rushing straight to his brain, which made him feel sick just thinking about it.

Isn't it disgusting? This is a face-to-face killing at a very close distance. Fortunately, people in this era have seen a lot of dead people at one time or another, so their tolerance is pretty good, it's just a slight discomfort.

"Well done!" Zhang Yunfei praised Li Ergou who was following Qian Dedong.

"It's nothing, I knew that old boy had a hand to play." Li Ergou felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Well, this is also the case. Only people like you can better understand the colorful intestines of these bad guys." Zhang Yunfei deeply agreed.

"..."

Li Ergou always felt that Boss Zhang’s words should not be carefully considered...

When Zhang Hongbao was tried and executed, Zhang Yunfei sent Li Ergou to fully participate and serve as the executioner for a time.

There was no way, Secretary Qian's guerrillas were really bad at this job. They did shoot and even killed and wounded the enemy.

But after all, they had very little battlefield experience, and it was all far away, and it was on a dangerous battlefield where the enemy was pressing hard. They didn't even have time to pay attention to their own results, and the psychological and visual impact they received was not strong.

Naturally, they were unwilling to waste precious bullets when executing executions. They used red-tasseled guns or bayonets, so few of the guerrillas dared to take action.

So in the end, people from Zhang Yunfei's side could only do the job. Tiedan was willing to do it, but Zhang Yunfei felt that even a traitor who had done many evil things had human rights, so it was better to let him have a good time. In the end, Zhang Yunfei gave the job to Li Ergou.

Dry.

Li Ergou did live up to his expectations. He really understood the psychology of a bad guy like Zhang Hongbao. He even frightened and coaxed him on the execution ground and took something out of his mouth.

In Three Cunning Rabbits, a treacherous and ghostly guy like Zhang Hongbao seems to have confessed happily, but in fact he still has reservations.

But when he was about to be executed, and he met an executioner like Li Ergou who had no martial ethics, he thought that there was still a possibility of saving his life, so he naturally confessed all his family assets.

Although, this is indeed a meritorious service, but it really feels a bit unethical to deceive a dying person.

"Captain Zhang, where are we retreating to?" Qian Dedong asked after taking a breath.

"Secretary Qian, I was about to talk to you. You take your guerrilla comrades and leave first. You have few people and small targets, and you are more familiar with the local situation. As long as you avoid the limelight for a while, the Japanese and puppet troops will not notice."

You guys, let’s just say goodbye.” Zhang Yunfei said.

"Okay then... take care of yourself!" Qian Dedong said solemnly.

After all, they are different from Zhang Yunfei's troops. They need to stay and carry out guerrilla warfare locally, so separation is inevitable.

It's just that he didn't expect to arrive so soon, and he was a little embarrassed. This time, he always felt that they were just here to compliment him, and they didn't help him in any way.

A lot cheaper.

It feels a bit like running away now. After all, as long as I am a small person and hide well, the Japanese and puppet reinforcements will probably ignore them and directly pursue Zhang Yunfei's large army.

It's always a little unjustifiable from a moral point of view, but the Eighth Route Army is not a Liangshan hero, and loyalty comes first. From a tactical point of view, they really should leave.

In the end, Qian Dedong could only say "take care" and led his team to leave the main force.

"Captain, how should we evacuate?" Looking at Qian Dedong's team gradually getting away, He Jingtang asked the same thing.

There are so many of them, not Qian Dedong's team of dozens. The target is too big. Now the operation to alert the enemy has been successful.

Next, the Japanese will definitely chase you, retaliate crazily, and try their best to kill yourself and others.

"If that doesn't work, let's go over the mountain to the new city. To be honest, I really miss you..." Zhang Yunfei paused mid-sentence.

What he wanted to say was that he missed traitors like Wang Zhengyi, but it seemed inappropriate for him to say this from an Eighth Route Army cadre, so he stopped talking.

Sometimes, these traitors became crazy, and they were even more crazy against their own compatriots than the Japanese. They killed anti-Japanese people, slandered and framed them, and took advantage of them. Whoever they didn't like was directly beaten into anti-Japanese elements. If they were killed, they could get another reward.

Compared to Zhang Hongbao, a traitor who does all kinds of evil and has no conscience, although the people in Xincheng are more cunning and less good, they at least know how to restrain themselves.

Moreover, the intrigues among the puppet forces in Xincheng will be more conducive to the actions of the Eighth Route Army. In order to take advantage of the situation, they can live in peace with themselves.

There are two puppet armies with different structures in the new city, trying to keep each other in check. The snipe and the clam are competing for the fishermen's profits. Thinking about Wang Zhengyi before, who provided food and weapons, he worried so much about his own development and growth. It's really shocking.

nostalgia.

If this time passes, I wonder if I can get another wave of Wang Zhengyi's wool.

"Well, this can be regarded as a retreat." He Jingtang naturally didn't know what Zhang Yunfei was thinking, thinking that he was nostalgic for those days in Xincheng.

So he only analyzed it from a technical perspective and quite agreed with Zhang Yunfei's idea. Now they are making such a fuss in Nanguan Town.

The Japanese reinforcements will inevitably press from east to west. At this time, it is naturally impossible for them to evacuate eastward, and going west is not a good choice.
