Zhang Tianhao looked at the time, and it was already five o'clock unconsciously. He looked at the sky, and he did not stop, but continued to lead the people across this area.
He looked at the railway in front of him. He did not expect that it would exceed sixty kilometers in one day. The marching speed was completely unbearable.
But the soldiers were as tired as dead dogs and almost fell down while walking on the road.
However, they had already far exceeded their intended goal and reached Sikeshu Village.
"Notice that everyone will go to Sikeshu Village to rest tonight, and then prepare to bury the pot and make rice."
Zhang Tianhao thought for a moment, then asked the guard to take the map, spread it out and look at it, then pointed directly at Sikeshu Village in front of him and gave instructions loudly.
"yes!"
Sikeshu Village is not big. There are about 200 people here. After Zhang Tianhao's army entered here, they surrounded the entire Sikeshu Village and then drove directly in.
The villagers of Sikeshu Village never expected that so many Japanese soldiers would come at this time, and every family was so frightened that they hid in their houses and did not dare to come out.
When Zhang Tianhao walked to the village, he saw Chen Shijie and others waiting for him.
"Hello, Commander."
"Hello, let's go, let's go into the village."
Zhang Tianhao went directly to the landlord's house here, and the landlord saw so many troops and was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.
"Sir, sir, may I ask about your army?"
"Haha, let's come here to buy some food. We bought all the food we have at home. As for the money, don't worry, we won't miss you a penny."
Zhang Tianhao said calmly, and at the same time let Chen Shijie lead him to the landlord's house.
As for the landlord's house, it is also a large courtyard with a height of more than three meters. There are also three rooms inside, which is quite large. There are even a lot of thugs being guarded, and even the guns have been confiscated.
Zhang Tianhao sat directly in the hall, and soon a guard poured him some hot tea.
"Tonight, we will lend you accommodation here. Don't worry, the accommodation fee is quite good. We are the guerrillas nearby. You know that we want to come. I hope you know how to do it. If you hear anything about our stay here,
My brothers will not be polite to you, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely obey the commander's words and will not tell anyone. I will inform the people in the village tomorrow so that no one will be missed."
"That's good, let's do this. Let's inform the people in the village that if there is any extra food, bring them all together. By the way, bring a box of money over and we will buy the food here."
He gave instructions to the guard on the side.
Soon, he was drinking tea while waiting for the guard to come over with the money.
Within ten minutes, I saw the guard come in with a box of money and put it directly on the table.
"I am a very moral person. This is money. Look, except for leaving enough rations, I bought all the other food."
With that said, he gestured directly to the guard beside him and opened the box.
There are 100,000 counterfeit coins in this box, which is a lot, enough to buy a lot of food.
"Report, his family has about 30,000 jins of grain, and we can buy 30,000 jins."
At this moment, a guard ran over and said loudly to Zhang Tianhao.
"Ah, you guys..." When the old man heard that the guards had checked his house, he wanted to say something, but when he saw that each of the guards were murderous, he opened his mouth, but still no words came out.
.
"In addition, he has five horses. Commander, would you like to buy some?"
"Buy two horses. Now if the grain is thirty yuan, I count you forty, thirty thousand kilograms, which is twelve thousand. If you add two horses, I don't think you are less, fifteen thousand yuan."
, what do you think?"
"Sir, sir, if the sir needs it, I will give it to the sir. I will give it to the sir. No money, no money."
When the old man heard this, he was shocked all over, but he immediately changed his words.
"No, just accept the money. Too much money is also a trouble for us. Buying your food is a no-brainer, but there is a prerequisite. It must be kept secret. I believe you also know how to do it. Right?"
As he said that, he took out the money on the table and counted some of it to him. It was fifteen thousand yuan, which was a pile.
Then someone took the other money back and returned the money directly.
"Of course, if you have a way to buy grain, I will give you a commission. Once you get forty yuan, for coarse grain or fine grain, I will give you fifty yuan, so that you can at least make some money. What do you think?"
As he said that, he pushed it forward directly.
"That, that..."
He looked at the money in front of him and swallowed his saliva again. After all, he was really excited for so much money.
"Well, I can buy from a few villages over here overnight. I still have some connections with them. Is what you said true?"
"Of course, I will send someone to protect you. You can keep the money now. We will not enter the back yard. After all, it is your family. Lao Yu, you take a battalion of men and horses to change clothes and just take the money.
Go buy grain with the old man and equip the carriage. Bring money, pay with one hand and grain with the other, and beg for money in both directions."
Yu Xiong never thought that Zhang Tianhao would find someone to buy food. Such a large amount of food could at least support the army for a long time.
"yes!"
When Yu Xiong heard this, he immediately responded and then went down to call for someone.
Although he was tired now, the food was a matter of everyone's meal, and he did not dare to delay in any way.
The old man directly collected the money and put it in the backyard. As for the unpleasantness just now, he had already forgotten it and put it aside.
As long as he has money and can sell it at a high price, he can earn countless amounts of money, thirty thousand catties, and at least ten yuan every time. Such a lot of money can be earned much faster than farming.
Zhang Tianhao looked at the old landlord and just smiled. He had too much money and couldn't use it all. He might as well use it to buy some food.
After the money was taken out, Zhang Tianhao asked Chen Shijie and a dozen battalion commanders to sit here for a meeting to summarize where they would go next.
After all, it was impossible to keep walking aimlessly. Even now, he was thinking about where to send the army.
Zhang Tianhao opened the map and sat there, discussing and discussing.
"Commander, I suggest that we go to Suidong, which is not far from General Fu in the west. We can use this as a stronghold to attack the Japanese."
"Yes, although we have to cross the entire Liaoyuan, as long as we are careful, we can still do it. When we arrive in Suidong, we can start training and even attack the Japanese on all sides without worrying that we will encounter enemies on all sides."
"Yes, Commander, we still put the troops there. As long as we are reorganized, we can fight the Japanese army decisively. We have the strength of half a division. We are not afraid of anyone who comes, and we can even get certain supplies."
"Yes, Commander, I think so too. Do you think..."
Zhang Tianhao did not say anything, but looked at the map on the wall behind him and thought seriously about whether it would be better to go to General Fu Zuoyi or start the resistance here.
"You guys, it's too simple to think about who we are. We are formed from prisoners of war. Although General Fu may take us in, we are not our own people after all. We will not get any supplies, and even food is a problem. And
The only place we can go now is back to Suidong."
"But we still have to fight east of Suidong. Seek others rather than yourself!"
He sighed and made the decision immediately.
"The most important thing for us now is to train the army well, fight guerrilla warfare against the Japanese, and then establish our own base in the Liaoyuan area so that we can obtain a large amount of food and additional soldiers."
"My plan is to conduct training in the Baolong Mountain area first. After the training is completed, we can attack in four directions, move westward, or divide our forces to attack in four directions."
