The old village chief fell into deep thought. Xia Yuan was right, but in fact it was Xia Yuan who won and they lost. Xia Yuan wiped out two-thirds of Gaojiazhuang's combat strength with one person. If there were other Japanese troops
Yes, Gaojiazhuang has already lost at this time.
Uncle Lao Zhong said: "There is no victory even if we win. We paid huge casualties to eliminate the enemy, but the enemy is coming in a steady stream. Do we still have the ability to resist the Japanese attacking behind us? No more, so we are the real ones."
Lost."
He turned to look at the village chief and said: "Party Secretary, this exercise is over, but it also reminded us that our soldiers still have huge problems in their combat capabilities."
The old village chief raised his head, looked at the helpless soldiers who were hanging their heads around him, and said: "I ask you to train well on weekdays, just to survive on the battlefield facing the Japanese attack, but you, you despise training.
The content of the training was not good and they complained that the training content was boring. But when it comes time to really need you, what role do you play!"
He raised his voice: "Training will resume tomorrow! No matter how boring it is, we must persevere! We are boring now so that we can better eliminate the Japanese devils and better protect our relatives in the future!"
The two sang in harmony, making the soldiers blush. They had deeply realized their mistakes, which were ideological mistakes. After this exercise, Xia Yuan also let everyone see clearly his true strength.
, Gaojiazhuang had about a company of combatants, but Xia Yuan used his own strength to wipe out two-thirds of the combatants. This kind of fierce battle made everyone feel very attached to Xia Yuan.
of worship.
Originally, Mao Ni was unhappy about Xia Yuan tying her up, but when she saw that Xia Yuan was so good at stabbing, her inner unhappiness disappeared and she admired Xia Yuan even more.
After experiencing the failure in the exercise, the training started normally the next day, and more people participated in the training. Some villagers who witnessed the exercise also sent their children to the training ground, just because Xia Yuan said, training
Start with the baby.
Children aged seven, eight, eleven or twelve were sent over to participate in the training. The training of the children was no worse than that of the soldiers. Many of the children had relatives who were killed during the Japanese raids and witnessed their relatives being killed by the Japanese.
, the hatred squeezed in their hearts is not much worse than that of the guerrillas. This will become the motivation for their training to face the next Japanese devils.
Training was going on every day in Gaojiazhuang. On this day, a puppet army with guns came to the village. The militiamen in charge of the investigation quickly passed the message made of bamboo tubes on the roof to the darkroom:
"A puppet army came outside the village, numbering about ten people!"
Xia Yuan was watching the Protracted War in the yard when Sanbao ran in quickly with a gun on his back, "Xia Yuan, there is a puppet army coming from outside the village!"
Xia Yuan closed the book, raised his head and asked, "Are there no Japanese devils?"
Sanbao shook his head, "There are no Japanese devils."
Xia Yuandao: "This is strange. Puppet soldiers rarely act alone, especially when performing tasks."
He raised his head and said, "Let's go take a look."
When they came to the darkroom for investigation, Old Uncle Zhong, Chuan Bao, the old village chief and Lin Xia were all there. They were discussing things. The old village chief asked: "Have all the villagers moved?"
Chuanbao said: "The villagers have all moved into the tunnels, and the militia and guerrillas are already in place."
The old village chief nodded, saw Xia Yuan walking in, and said, "You're here."
Xia Yuan asked: "Secretary, how is the situation?"
The old village chief said: "We still don't know the intentions of this puppet army."
Xia Yuan thought for a while and said: "No matter what their intentions are, there is definitely no good thing coming to Gaojiazhuang. Try to find out more about it so that they can never come back."
While they were talking, the puppet army had already reached the bridge at the entrance of the village and was heading into the village. There was a militiaman hiding in the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. While digging a tunnel, Xia Yuan proposed to open up the inside of the big banyan tree as a tunnel.
It is a very good vantage point. You can overlook the entire village entrance through this big tree. The location is very superior.
The militiamen hiding inside shook a stick beside them. The stick was connected to the tunnel. There was a water tank in the tunnel. The stick was submerged into the water tank. The shaking of the stick stirred the water in the tank. The militiamen who heard the sound quickly
Pass the situation through the sound tube to another layer, layer by layer, until it reaches the largest dark room where everyone is staying.
The whole process only took less than twenty seconds. The puppet soldiers walked to the big banyan tree and looked at the big banyan tree with some surprise.
After receiving the news, everyone discussed the next countermeasures. Niu Wa held a gun and said: "Secretary, let's fight. This is the best opportunity to test the tunnel we dug."
Chuanbao said with concern: "We can't fight, we haven't figured out the puppet army's intentions yet!"
Lin Xia also agreed with the idea of passing on the treasure, saying: "We should first find out the intentions of the puppet army before deciding whether to fight or not. Fighting requires sacrifice. Fighting blindly will not work."
Xia Yuan patted Niu Wa on the shoulder and said: "Brother Chuanbao is right, the puppet army will not come to Gaojiazhuang for no reason, and there are no Japanese devils following this time, maybe it is not because of the raids.
Party Secretary, I think I will send a few people to take a look and then adapt accordingly."
Niu Wa thought for a while, then immediately raised his hand and said: "Party secretary, let me go!"
Sanbao was also eager to try, "I'll go too!"
Seeing the old village chief's hesitation, Xia Yuan said: "Secretary, just let me go with Niu Wa and San Bao. You take the big guys into the fighting position, and then wait for me to find out the information."
The old village chief thought for a while and said a little worriedly: "I'm going too. I'm the village chief. I want to go. Uncle Zhong, you can watch from here."
Uncle Zhong nodded: "Then you should pay attention to safety."
Xia Yuandao: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, we will pay attention to safety, and with me here, if they want to touch a hair of the branch secretary, they have to see how strong they are."
Sanbao patted his chest and said, "There is still me!"
Niu Wa also said: "Don't worry, we will take good care of the branch secretary!"
After emerging from the tunnel, everyone dusted themselves off, left their guns in the tunnel, and walked towards the entrance of the village.
The puppet army stopped under the big banyan tree. The deputy captain of the puppet army said: "It's strange that no one in the village came out at this time."
The puppet army leader held his head high and his slender eyes rolled: "Abnormal, very abnormal, there is a problem in Gaojiazhuang."
Vice-captain of the puppet army: "It's coming, it's coming."
While they were talking, four people came out of the village entrance. It was the village party secretary, Xia Yuan, Sanbao, and Niu Wa. The village party secretary stepped forward, nodded and bowed and said, "I wonder what the bosses are doing when they come to our Gaojiazhuang?"
The captain of the puppet army looked arrogant and said: "In order to better manage the surrounding village chiefs, the imperial army decided to establish maintenance committees in each village."
Maintain the meeting.
Xia Yuan's eyes flashed. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the maintenance committee was a temporary local puppet regime established by the Japanese invaders in the occupied areas of China using traitors to serve the Japanese invaders in "ruling China with China" and "divide and rule".
The temporary political power organization of the Maintenance Association is a transitional form that will disintegrate after the formal power of the enemy and puppet is established.
Once the maintenance committee is established, it will mark the village becoming an affiliated village of the Japanese army, which is another means for the Japanese to invade China.
When the old village chief heard the puppet army's words, he hesitated for a few times. The puppet army commander's face suddenly changed, and he said faintly: "Why, doesn't Gaojiazhuang not want the protection of the imperial army? Now it is on the cusp of a major sweep.
, with the protection of the imperial army, you can avoid being affected by the raids. Or is there something unknown hidden in your village?"
When the old village chief heard this, he waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, boss, you are joking, how dare we hide those things."
The commander of the puppet army snorted coldly: "It's best not to do it. If you are discovered, you will be beheaded!"
The old village chief pretended to be frightened, trembling all over, and responded repeatedly. The puppet army leader enjoyed this feeling of being superior to others. The abnormal psychology of being oppressed by the Japanese was revealed at this moment. He looked around the village with his eyes.
, said: "How well do the villagers in the village eat?"
Xia Yuan understood immediately and took over what the old village chief said: "Boss, we made some delicious food in the village. You must be tired from the journey. Come to the village to rest and drink some home-brewed wine?"
The puppet army commander glanced at Xia Yuan and said, "He's quite good at what he's doing."
"Hey." Xia Yuan nodded and bowed, turned to Sanbao and Niuwa behind him and said: "Hurry up and ask Mrs. Lin Xia to heat up the pot, kill the only old hen in the house, take out the eggs, and reward the boss.
The family village has established a maintenance committee, and we still need to rely more on the boss to help and take care of everything."
The puppet soldiers must kill an old hen. Not to mention how happy they are, some of them have swallowed their saliva unnaturally.
The three treasures asked: "Xia Yuan, that old hen can lay eggs, and only that one... will be used for Sister Xianhui's confinement in the future."
Hearing Sanbao's excuse, the expressions of the puppet soldiers suddenly changed. One puppet soldier yelled: "What did you say? Believe it or not, we made it impossible for her to even have confinement!" He pretended to hit Sanbao with the butt of his gun.
go.
Xia Yuan, with sharp eyes and quick hands, stopped between the two of them and said: "Boss, he is not sensible. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
He scolded again: "What the hell are you doing? Hurry up and ask everyone to bring out all the delicious food and drinks. Don't forget that there is no such thing as Linjia Village and Niujia Village. We have established a maintenance committee. We
My life is now peaceful, and I have to thank my boss for that!"
He turned his back to the Imperial Alliance Army and blinked: "Tell everyone to bring out all the delicious food and drink in the house, and don't hide it secretly."
Niu Wa's eyes lit up and she immediately understood what Xia Yuan meant. She nodded repeatedly, stretched out her hand to pull San Bao and left.
Back in the village, Niuwa took Sanbao and went into the tunnel. Sanbao was still unhappy: "Why did Xia Yuan compromise with the Imperial Alliance Army?"
Niu Wa said happily: "You, why are you starting to act stupid at this time? If Xia Yuan really compromises, he will no longer be Xia Yuan. Stop being stunned and get ready for war!"
Sanbao was stunned and didn't understand. Niuwa picked up Sanbao's gun and gave it to him, saying: "You, I didn't see Xia Yuan wink at you. He told you to bring out all the delicious food."
, don’t let everyone keep good things privately.”
He clapped the gun in his hand and said, "This is a good thing!"
After saying that, he got into the tunnel and came to the darkroom. Chuanbao stepped on the stool with one foot and pinched his waist with one hand. He was hunched over and looking out of the village through the shooting hole. When he saw Niuwa coming back, he quickly asked about the situation.
, Niu Wa said: "Te Niang's puppet army wants to establish a maintenance committee in our village, saying it is to maintain law and order and prevent being raided by the Japanese devils. Damn it, Xia Yuan has already agreed to take action, and the branch secretary did not stop him."
.”
He spat and said: "Brother Chuanbao, this is a good opportunity to test the tunnel. Let everyone prepare quickly. It is estimated that Xia Yuan and the party secretary will lead the puppet army into the village in a short while."
"Okay!" Gao Chuanbao immediately came to the mouthpiece, put his mouth in the mouthpiece, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Comrades, get to your posts, get to your posts, wait for the order to start fighting!"
Chuanbao's orders were passed from level to level. Militiamen armed with red tassel guns and guerrillas with weapons quickly dispatched. They set up shooting holes in their respective darkrooms, bunkers and other locations. Some people came to the village protection ditch outside the village through tunnels.
To prevent the puppet troops from wanting to retreat when they see the situation is wrong, this will cut off their retreat.
Here, Xia Yuanyuan almost had the opportunity, so he said: "Boss, let's go to the village first, I will get everyone a bowl of water to drink, and we will discuss the establishment of the maintenance meeting."
Seeing Xia Yuan's attitude, the puppet troops were very satisfied. The commander of the puppet army even took a fancy to Xia Yuan's size and said: "Such a good guy and capable of trouble. Do you want to join us? Join us."
We, follow us, and we will ensure that you eat well and drink spicy food!"
Xia Yuan pretended to be very excited and said, "Boss, can I really do this?"
"sure!"
"That's great. When we leave, I will follow you. There are still a few in the village, and the two just now can also follow the boss."
The commander of the puppet army did not expect to be able to recruit people here, and said with great satisfaction: "Yes, follow us and we guarantee that your life will get better and better!"
Xia Yuan thanked him again and again, followed the old village chief to lead the way for the puppet soldiers, and entered the village. When the puppet soldiers saw that the doors of every house were closed, they said: "Hey, they don't even dare to come out to see us when they see us."
?”
Xia Yuan quickly said: "It's not that the reputation of the Imperial Army has spread too much in Gaojiazhuang. The villagers are all honest and honest farmers. Not to mention the Imperial Army, even if the Eighth Route Army comes, they will not
Dare to come out, you are afraid. In these troubled times, it is common for people to die. When everyone sees a soldier, they avoid it if they can, for fear of offending the soldier. But it would be great if you came, boss. We need to maintain it here.
We will come to maintain law and order, so that the Eighth Route Army will not dare to enter the village."
Xia Yuan's continuous coaxing and deception coaxed the puppet soldiers into a daze, and they no longer struggled. This world is no different from what Xia Yuan said. Death is a normal thing, and sometimes even
