Li Qingming put down his chopsticks and said, "It's quite calm. How can I say this?"
Zhang Wangcai put down the chicken drumstick in his hand, picked up a handkerchief next to him and wiped his greasy hands, and said: "There has been another commotion recently. I heard that it is a team called the Red Army, which specializes in controlling people like you and me in the village.
The landlord who owns all the land.”
Li Qingming paused, his eyes froze, and he pretended to be calm and asked: "Red Army? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"These are all heard through gossip. Last year, the riot was the worst, and then the White Army came, and it seemed to have calmed down. Some time ago, we went to the county town and met an old acquaintance. This person was powerful in the White Army. I told him
A group of Red Army troops emerged in West Hankou, specifically to attack landlords. Landowners in two villages suffered disaster and were killed by the Red Army. The tactics were the same as last year."
Li Qingming could see that Zhang Wangcai's expression was obviously nervous when he said this again. He also breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "West Hankou, it's a hundred and eighty miles away from here. You can't beat it. Don't worry.
Bar."
Zhang Wangcai said: "Brother, you can't say that. The Red Army is very tenacious. The national army has been suppressing it for two years, and it just subsided for a few months. It started again in Ningcheng, and now it's here again."
West Hankou, maybe it will come to our side at some point."
Seeing Li Qingming's thoughtful look, Zhang Wangcai said: "When the trouble comes to our side, he will rush into the village and shoot us in the head. Who are we to cry for?"
The other party mentioned this matter to him intentionally or unintentionally. Li Qingming thought for a while and asked: "Brother, is there anything I can do?"
Zhang Wangcai said: "Of course, let's unite to fight against this emerging team. Our acquaintance told us that this team relies on farmers. We just need to unite to suppress the restless farmers and let them understand that in the countryside,
Who is God? This way we won’t be afraid even if the Red Army comes. The farmers are afraid of us and don’t dare to resist at all!”
"Brother, let me tell you, this man is like a domesticated animal. If you don't care about him, he will think that you have no dignity and dare to do anything. You have to beat him, scold him, and whip him hard with the whip in your hand.
When it hurts, they know they are scared!"
"To tell you the truth, I have united two villages. If we join forces, and with the help of our brothers from the national army, I want to see who dares to touch us!"
Li Qingming was furious. This guy actually tried to unite all the landlords to fight against the peasants. Did he know in his heart that the Red Army had brought a good life to the peasants, and those who opposed the Red Army were basically enemies. The landlord in front of him was so arrogant in discussing how to deal with him.
The Red Army's methods really put themselves down.
Considering his identity, he could only suppress his inner anger and said: "Brother, your method is indeed good, but I'm not interested. I will go back after the transaction. There are still many things waiting for me in the village.
Go get it, sorry."
After saying that, he stood up and said before leaving: "I would like to advise you to treat the farmers well, don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Xiao Wu, let's go with your things."
Seeing Li Qingming leaving like this, Zhang Wangcai angrily picked up the wine glass on the table and threw it to the ground. He cursed with a ferocious expression: "Who is he? We respect him and call him brother, but disrespect him. He is a landlord in a small village."
, let’s kill him directly and steal his things!”
Zhang Wangcai was angry in his heart. He sat on the stool and waved his hand to the steward next to him, "Go and ask two people to follow them. We want to see where his village is and find the location. We will go directly there with this guy tonight. How dare you do this?"
To us, tell him that the only person in the world who has this attitude towards us is our father. Who is he? I’m going to steal his family’s fortune tonight and I’m going to deal with him severely!”
Li Qingming walked anxiously in the village. A group of soldiers beside him asked him what happened. Li Qingming said: "Zhang Wangcai is trying to unite the landlords to deal with us farmers, exploit us, and even tries to make us feel afraid, so that we will not resist.
That’s it, wishful thinking.”
"What, unite the landlords to deal with us!"
"How abominable!"
"Deputy company commander, we can't let him succeed!"
"When you go back, tell the company commander that he must be severely punished!"
"right!"
The soldiers were furious. They never imagined that this group of hateful landowners not only wanted to exploit them, but even wanted to unite to suppress them. This kind of thing must never happen.
"Don't worry, I will never let this landlord go easily. I will tell the company commander when I get back!"
Li Qingming took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked again: "By the way, have the comrades in charge of the investigation completed their tasks?"
"It's done. The crimes committed by the landlord in the village have caused irreparable harm to the villagers of Laohe Village. They are full of hatred for the landlord. As long as we come, they will definitely respond positively."
one of the soldiers responded.
"That's good. Let's discuss how to deal with them when we get back!" Li Qingming looked at the lambs and calves and asked, "How are the lambs and calves? Are any of them sick?"
"No, the landowner has a conscience. These lambs were beaten alive. The ewe was pregnant with four, and they gave birth after a while."
A soldier asked curiously: "Deputy company commander, why are we buying so many lambs and calves?"
Li Qingming said: "Of course they are raised by the villagers. When these lambs and calves grow up, they can give birth to lambs. In the words of our company commander, this is called sustainable breeding."
"It turns out that our company commander is really smart. There are many things that we couldn't even think of."
A soldier asked again: "By the way, deputy company commander, do you know what happened to our company commander in the past? I only heard from my mother that the company commander's father was beaten to death by the landlord, and my mother also went crazy and disappeared. The company commander was
Sold to the county town."
Li Qingming said: "I don't know much. I heard the company commander mentioned that he joined the Red Army, but he was soon encircled and suppressed by the White Army. The team was scattered, and he was lost with the main force.
I made contact and returned to our village. I guess the company commander was inspired by that Red Army team and thought of returning to our village to fight against the landlords."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So that's it."
Everyone now understands a little bit.
A group of soldiers, led by Li Qingming, were carrying lambs and calves and were preparing to go home. In the village, two sneaky figures followed quietly. On the other side, the soldiers of the second group who had already investigated were under the control of the second squad leader.
Under the leadership of the leader, we prepared to continue along the mountain forest, hanging behind a group of people to be responsible for cutting off the rear.
A soldier ran over quickly, "Squad leader, there are two tails behind squad one!"
Daily training has improved the military quality of the soldiers a lot. After all, they are all farmers. If they want to quickly improve their military quality, the only way is to train constantly. Xia Yuan has worked hard in this aspect, except for eating.
, it was aimed at training them. After all, they had no mission, so they put a lot of effort into them, which also improved their military skills a lot.
Although they are not qualified soldiers, they already have many military qualities.
In the face of emergencies, we must first report to cadres. This is the core. We must resolutely resist unauthorized actions. In this regard, Xia Yuan took a strong attitude and asked the squad leaders of each platoon and squad to inform them in place. Soldiers should obey orders as a priority.
Xia Yuan has a tough attitude towards his vocation, and his improvement in this aspect has been very rapid.
The forward scout discovered the enemy's tail and did not act without authorization. Instead, he informed the squad leader immediately.
The second squad leader asked: "Are you sure there are only two people!? No one else?"
The soldier in charge of the reconnaissance said: "It can be confirmed that the enemy has not been found in the rear."
The second squad leader asked again: "Can they carry weapons?"
The investigating soldier said: "He carried two guns."
The second squad leader frowned and said: "Don't act, continue to observe, and ask Wu Xiaoliu to inform the deputy company commander so that they can be on guard."
"yes!"
The scout quickly left to deliver the order.
The squad leader of the second squad ordered the team to stay near the road and observe whether there were any enemy troops in Laohe Village. After careful observation, he determined that there were only two tails behind the butt of the squad and no other tails, so he thought about what to do.
These two tails were caught.
"We can't let them follow us into the village, we must act in advance!"
The second squad leader is not stupid. When the whole village meeting was held earlier, the company commander specifically mentioned at the meeting that everything has just started and the developed armed forces are not enough to deal with various emergencies. Once the situation in Nianping Village is exposed,
, all previous efforts will be in vain.
These two people were following behind a group of people. They didn't know what they were going to do, but it was definitely not a good thing.
"Go and tell the deputy company commander that we are ready to take action and catch the tail!"
The second squad leader asked a soldier to run in front of everyone to inform the deputy company commander. Unexpectedly, the deputy company commander sent three soldiers over and told the second squad leader that they would cooperate with them to catch the two tailmen.
This is the first operation. The deputy company commander asked everyone to ensure their own safety. While ensuring their own safety, they should quickly dispatch to catch the tail.
After listening to the information brought by the three soldiers, the second squad leader immediately assigned tasks.
"Six soldiers are surrounding us in front, and others are intercepting us from behind. We must unload their guns as quickly as possible and ask them their purpose!"
"yes!"
The second class quickly took action and quickly caught up with the first class.
Class One's forward speed is not fast, even at a relatively slow speed. The two tails cannot go too fast and can only be hung far away. The distance between the two sides is maintained at a distance of one or two hundred meters. When encountering detours,
The tail speeds up, and when it encounters a straight road, the tail slows down.
The purpose is obvious, which is to ensure that you can keep up with the first group but not be too far behind the first group.
"Bucktooth, hurry up, catch up quickly, they are all gone."
One of the two tails looks chubby, with a beard on both sides of the mouth, and the other has particularly prominent teeth that push up the upper lip.
"Mustache, can you please slow down a bit? I'm so exhausted. Damn it, aren't those guys tired? They've been walking for so long and they don't even take a break."
Buck Teeth tightened his grip on the gun behind his back, and he spoke out of breath.
"You're walking slowly now. If you lose me and go back to see how I deal with you, I'll probably hang you up and beat you."
Huzi cursed, secretly cursing Bucktooth for being useless. If they lost him, they wouldn't be able to explain it when they got back, but Bucktooth was really a hindrance. Gritting his teeth, he said: "Bucktooth, I'll follow you first.
You take a rest and come up quickly, don't get ink on the back of your butt, you know?"
Bucktooth sat down on the roadside, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said: "Okay, okay, I understand. You go first, and I will follow you."
Seeing the beard walking away, he bucked his teeth and gasped, thinking that he could finally rest.
Watching the beard disappear at the corner ahead, Bucktooth quickly got up and chased after him.
"Just at the turning point ahead, prepare to take action and control the straggler behind first."
The second squad leader issued the combat order, and the soldiers around him emerged from the dense grass and rushed towards the road quickly. There were also soldiers on the mountains on both sides in front of them who rushed towards the road down the mountain.
I don't know why, I wiped my sweat with my buck teeth, and I was walking forward when I suddenly heard a noise coming from the mountain. I turned around and was almost frightened to death. Five or six figures in front of me were rushing down the mountain quickly, and everyone was carrying them.
With a gun, Bucktooth saw something was wrong and turned around to run away. Five or six people rushed down from behind him. They rushed to the road and put the gun directly into his head.
As soon as Buck Tooth held the gun in his arms, the other party's cold voice floated to his ears: "Don't move! Raise your hands, otherwise we will shoot!"
Hearing the voice, he bucked his teeth and trembled all over, and quickly raised his hands: "Spare my life, spare your life, all heroes, spare your life, I am Zhang Wangcai's subordinate in Laohe Village, you must know my master, I arrested you wrongly, you arrested me wrongly."
"
Bucktooth obviously regarded these people as bandits on the mountain. Most of the bandits were related to the landlords in the village. Many of the bandits even belonged to the landlords themselves. They had guns and land. Maybe they knew Zhang Wangcai and would let him go.
One horse.
The second squad leader frowned. As a farmer, he naturally knew that landlords colluded with bandits. Even the landlord in Nianping Village colluded with a bandit on the mountain. Every year they had to send each other some food, otherwise the landlord would let the bandits go down the mountain.
Steal property, food and women.
But now Nianping Village is not what it used to be. The Red Army has come, has its own armed forces, and has defeated the landlords. Even if the bandits come, they still have to weigh it.
"Be honest." The second squad leader kicked Buck Teeth and said, "Tie him up, capture the other one, and take him back to the company commander for interrogation!"
"yes!"
The soldier quickly stepped forward and handed over Buck Tooth's gun, and threw it to the soldier beside him. He took out the rope he carried with him from his arms, tied Buck Tooth's hands, and was escorted by two soldiers. The other soldiers chased after him and tied up the mustache.
Tie it up.
Not far forward, Li Qingming and his people were waiting in front. When he saw people approaching, a smile appeared on his face.
The second squad leader walked over and said, "Deputy company commander, everything went well, both tails were caught."
Li Qingming said: "Take it back and hand it over to the company commander for interrogation!"
