The first thousand two hundred and fifty-four chapters attacked the camp
At dawn the next day, Sun Chong personally took his brothers and arrived at Qingshan Village carrying grain, preparing to exchange it for grain suitable for dry land farming.
The villagers in Qingshan Village were still doubtful at first, but when they saw Sun Zhong coming with food in person, they finally felt relieved.
The entire grain exchange transaction went very smoothly. Sun Zhong and the others obtained the grain, and the villagers did not suffer any loss.
In order to thank the villagers for their strong support to the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, deputy captain Zhang Liechen also ordered Sun Zhong to give a special subsidy of three yuan to each household in exchange for grain.
The actions of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps were completely opposite to those of the previous bandits in Black Wolf Village, and they immediately won the favor of the villagers.
"Sir, there is a difference between growing dry land and paddy fields. Many people in our village are good at tending crops. If you need help, just say hello and we will go over and help."
Seeing that the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps was so trustworthy and did not take advantage of their village at all, the village elders also had a good impression of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
After Sun Zhong heard what the village elder said, he felt it made sense, and immediately decided to ask the village to send some people to guide them in growing food.
"Old man, please select some people who are good at growing grain to guide us. We can calculate the lost time as wages." Sun Chong invited with a smile.
"Sir, what you said is out of line. We are all Chinese and we should help each other. I will help you find some people to go with you." The village elder immediately turned around and went to find someone.
Sun Zhong not only obtained a batch of grain planting in Qingshan Village, but also received strong support from the villagers in the village, providing all-round guidance from grain planting site selection to irrigation.
Thanks to a good start in Qingshan Village, the surrounding villages soon learned of what the North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps was doing and lifted their alert against them.
Although the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps exchanged some grain from Qingshan Village, they still had not enough to grow due to their large number of people, so they went to surrounding villages to exchange for grain.
The surrounding villages knew that the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps had a good reputation, and they all took the initiative to exchange their own grains, which finally solved the crisis of lack of grain for the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
Tens of thousands of civilians from ten private camps under the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps worked together. Under the guidance of local villagers, it took only a week to reclaim a large amount of cultivated land and plant part of the food.
Taking advantage of the power of many people.
While the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps was busy clearing wasteland to grow food, the surrounding bandits also made detailed battle plans and completed preparations for the battle.
One night, when the people returned to their shacks in the settlement to rest after a busy day, a group of heavily armed bandits suddenly emerged from the woods and rushed towards the people's settlement.
"Bandits! There are bandits!"
When the militiamen on guard duty saw the vicious bandits appearing in the settlement, they hurried towards the settlement and shouted a warning.
Most of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps led by Zhang Liechen were logistics units, with only one battalion capable of combat.
Moreover, the brothers of this battalion suffered heavy losses in several battles, so now temporary militia teams are responsible for standing guard in each civilian settlement.
These militiamen are all young men recruited from the common people. Although they cannot fight, they are more than enough to stand guard and watch.
The bandits came well prepared. When they saw the militiamen on guard running towards the settlement in panic, they did not stop them and followed them with guns in hand.
When the common people who had worked hard for a day heard the shouting outside, they all got out of their shacks one after another. When they saw a large group of bandits appearing in the distance, their expressions suddenly changed wildly.
"Run quickly, the bandits are coming!"
The common people were extremely afraid of bandits, because these people were murderous masters, so for a while, the entire common people's camp suddenly became chaotic, and everyone ran towards the forest one after another.
"The militiamen assemble! The militiamen assemble!"
Although the militia captain also turned pale, he still kept his composure and wanted to summon the militiamen to stop the bandits.
However, these militiamen were all young men who had never fought before. When they saw the bandits coming, most of them were so frightened that they followed the people into the woods. There were only about 20 people who went to gather, and there were only a dozen of them.
rifle.
"Bang bang bang..."
As soon as the militiamen gathered, the bandits fired randomly at the residents' camp, and the bullets flew over them.
It would have been better if they didn't fire any guns. But when they fired the guns, the more than 20 militiamen who had managed to assemble were immediately frightened and dispersed. The militia captain was so angry that he jumped to his feet.
But when he saw the ferocious group of bandits, the militia captain did not dare to give in. He stomped around and walked into the woods.
These bandits laughed arrogantly when they saw thousands of people being frightened and fleeing all over the mountains and plains.
However, the purpose of their trip was not to kill people, so they did not pursue the fleeing people.
"I burned them all!"
A bandit leader pointed to the shacks where the people lived and gave orders loudly.
"yes!"
These bandits followed the orders one after another, lit torches one by one, and started setting fires everywhere.
Soon, the flames burst into flames, and the shacks built with thatch branches burst into flames, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.
The bandits not only burned down the people's camps, but also destroyed all the land they had just sown.
The people in hiding clenched their fists and were filled with indignation as they watched the food they had worked so hard to grow destroyed by the bandits and their homes burned down.
"Go to Chief Zhang quickly and tell him what's going on here. We must kill all these bandits who have been killed by God!"
Seeing the arrogant bandits, the militia captain who fled into the woods thought of Zhang Liechen and others, and hurriedly sent two young men to take a small road to report the news.
The two young men did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly climbed over the mountains and ridges and headed straight towards Xiaoqingshan Black Wolf Village to seek support.
The common people's camp was a little far away from Zhang Liechen's headquarters, and they were walking on a mountain road at night. The two young men hurried slowly and arrived at Zhang Liechen's headquarters in Heilang Village in the middle of the night.
"The bandits attacked us, hurry up, go to the rescue..."
The two young men were stopped by the night patrol, and they shouted out of breath.
"What's going on? Tell me clearly." The patrol sentry of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps realized that something was wrong and asked: "Are you from that camp? What kind of bandits are you?"
"We are from Camp No. 7. We were attacked by bandits. The bandits burned our residence and destroyed our crops..."
After hearing Qing Zhuang's description of the report, the patrol sentry did not dare to neglect, and reported it layer by layer. Soon the sleeping deputy captain Zhang Liechen was awakened.
Zhang Liechen personally met with the two young men who reported the news and wanted to inquire about the situation. Unfortunately, they were too panicked and knew nothing about the situation of the bandits.
