Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Yes, now you know that turning your elbows inwards makes you look a bit like the political commissar of the Independence Regiment."
Zhao Gang laughed and said: "What do you mean it's similar? I was originally the political commissar of the Independence League, so it's true, haha."
After laughing, he said with some worry: "The Shanxi-Sui Army in the Mawu Mountain area has withdrawn, and it has become an enemy-occupied area. The Eighth Route Army has no mass base there. Xu Dalong and the others are in great difficulty. I really feel for them.
Worry."
Zhang Dabiao also said: "Yes, it is really difficult for them. I am also worried about them."
Li Yunlong was actually a little worried. Xu Dalong and the others were surrounded by enemy-occupied areas, and the Japanese and puppet troops were too powerful. They were only a small force of more than a hundred people, so it would be difficult for them to survive.
Not only that, they were too far away from the Eighth Route Army's base area, so if they encountered danger, the independent regiment would be beyond their reach.
However, Li Yunlong is a man who thinks openly. He knows that worrying is useless, so he simply doesn't bother to think about it. He smiles and says: "I just believe in Xu Dalong, that kid is smarter than a monkey, and the little devils can't do anything to him.
I believe that not only will they not be driven out by the Japanese, but they will definitely develop and grow."
Yucheng, headquarters of the Japanese 108th Division.
Fujiwara Seiichi looked at Fujiwara Ken's fragmented body, his face turned pale, and the corners of his eyes instantly became moist.
He was in great pain and extremely sad. In front of everyone, he could not show the soft side of his heart and ordered people to carry Fujiwara Ken's body to his office.
After everyone left, he sat next to Fujiwara Takeru's body and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Fujiwara Seiichi stayed in the office for five hours.
Just when the Japanese officers and soldiers were very worried, he walked out, ordered people to carry away Fujiwara Takeru's body, and put it in a good place. Then he called the head of the Intelligence Section and said to him: "Please investigate, this
What was the reason for the failure of the first attack on Qiulin Town?"
The eastern foot of Mawu Mountain.
At the foot of Qilin Mountain, the second highest peak of Mawu Mountain, there is a small mountain village with about five or sixty households called Qiligou.
That morning, three bandits entrenched on Qilin Mountain came to the village and found the village chief Gao Youtian.
The leader, a cross-eyed bandit leader, said: "Old Man Gao, it's time to pay last month's payment, so take it out quickly."
There are a total of 8 villages at the eastern foot of Mawu Mountain. There are no particularly wealthy people in the villages, and the bandits can't steal anything, so they collect protection fees from these villages.
Gao Youtian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have prepared it for you."
As he said that, he took out a wooden box from under the bed, poured the contents on the table, and said: "This is 12 oceans, that's all I have in cash, and there are three bags of grain. You can take them all."
."
The little boss said: "I'm talking to Old Man Gao, this is the old calendar. Now that the Japanese are here, it's not peaceful here. Starting from this month, you have to pay more protection fees, plus five oceans per month."
Gao Youtian looked embarrassed and begged: "Your Majesty, you also know the situation in the village. Even now we can't get out the money. We have to cobble it together. Just do it and you can't charge more."
Otherwise, we won’t be able to survive.”
The little leader glared cross-eyed, reached out and patted the table, and said: "Old Man Gao, don't you want to live anymore? Our big boss has said exactly what he said. If you are told to take it, you can take it. If there is one less big man, take it from your village.
The woman came to pay off the debt."
Having said this, he glanced into the room and said with a smile: "Old Man Gao, I heard that your daughter is not bad looking, and our second-in-command has fallen in love with her.
How about I take her to the mountain, and although she won't be able to become the wife of Yazhai, at least she will be able to enjoy spicy food."
Hearing this, Gao Youtian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, you don't dare to do this. Five Oceans, I will try to find a way. Can you please be accommodating and wait until next month to do business together?"
The little boss said impatiently: "No. Our boss has said that you will be given a maximum of three days' grace. I'll come back in three days. If you can't pay by then, don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, he collected the money on the table, took two young bandits with him, put three bags of grain on the horse, and left the village.
The bandits left, and Gao Youtian sat on the edge of the kang with a sad face.
The woman who was hiding in the house came out. She looked at her man with a sad face and said, "Dad, how can we survive with the bandits on the mountain doing so much?
The daughter of the old Wang family in our village was harmed by bandits, and her body has not been found until now. Now they are trying to kill our aunt again, and they cannot let her be harmed by bandits. Let's go out and hide."
Gao Youtian sighed, shook his head and said: "Now the war is in chaos. The Japanese are everywhere outside. They are more ruthless than the bandits. Where can we hide?"
A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old with a delicate face and a patchwork gown came out. She said with a look of horror on her face: "Father, mother, I'm afraid."
At this time, a strong young man came in and said, "Uncle Gao, Auntie, and Auntie Xiu are always at home. Sooner or later, they will be harmed by bandits. Just let me take her away."
This young man's name is Li Jinzhu. He is a stonemason and Xiugu's fiancé.
Gao Youtian shook his head and said: "Jin Zhu, you and Xiu Gu haven't gotten married yet, how is it unbecoming to ask her to follow you?"
The woman said: "Dad, when did this happen, and you still pay so much attention to it?"
After saying that, she said to Li Jinzhu: "I have made the decision on this matter, so I will let Xiugu follow you. You can take her far away."
Li Jinzhu was very happy and said: "Uncle, aunt, no, father, mother, don't worry, I will definitely treat Xiu Aunt well."
After saying that, he knelt down, and Xiugu knelt down next to him, and they kowtowed to Gao Youtian and his wife together.
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside, and a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old ran in. He shouted urgently: "Brother, let Aunt Xiu hide for a while, those bandits are back again.
There are so many people here."
This young man's name is Li Yinzhu, and he is Li Jinzhu's younger brother.
Hearing this, Gao Youtian's family suddenly panicked.
Li Jinzhu also said quickly: "Yinzhu, go out and keep an eye on it."
After speaking, he said to Gao Youtian: "Father, mother, I will take Xiugu to hide right now."
The people in the village were hiding, but Gao Youtian, as the village chief, could not hide. He could only bite the bullet and go out to deal with it.
