The brothers were rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for valuable items, and soon Liu Yidao ran over happily.
In the warehouse of Qingfeng Village, more than five thousand yuan was unexpectedly seized. In addition, two large boxes were filled with gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
These were originally obtained by the bandit leader Wei Heihu through various means, and he originally wanted to rely on these funds to develop and strengthen his own troops.
Who would have thought that stealing the chicken would end up losing the rice, not only would the robbery fail, but all the money would fall into the hands of Yang Ling and the others.
"Find a few reliable brothers to take care of it and transport it back to the regiment later," Yang Ling ordered.
Now their troops are short of everything. They have submitted many reports to the brigade and division and applied for them countless times, but nothing has been done every time, leaving them to take matters into their own hands to solve some of the scarce supplies.
Nowadays, prices in various places have skyrocketed, and they have no money now. Seeing the malnourished brothers, who are all looking sallow and thin, Yang Ling, a leader, feels very guilty.
After all, it is not easy for brothers to follow you through life and death. As a leader, it is your basic responsibility to feed and clothe your brothers, but sometimes you can't do anything about this simple request.
With this amount of money taken out of the bandit's den, it can at least ensure that the brothers will live a comfortable life in the next period of time.
The entire Qingfeng Village was turned upside down by Yang Ling and the others. The grain, bacon, materials and money seized made the brothers smile from ear to ear with joy.
"Damn it, let's eat chaffy vegetables and fight the Japanese on the front lines, while you bastards are living a comfortable life in the back eating meat and drinking alcohol. It's so fucking unreasonable!"
Seeing the bandits eating fat and getting stronger, Liu Yidao became angry and kicked the bandits hard, who were holding their heads and shivering.
They, the soldiers who defended their homes and country, starved and fought to the death against the Japanese, while the bandits were doing evil and living a good life. Naturally, the brothers were psychologically unbalanced.
Yang Ling also sighed. Not only were these bandits living a comfortable life in the rear, but those high-ranking officials and dignitaries were probably living even more comfortably, but the brothers couldn't see it. If they saw it, they would be so angry that they would kill them.
Although Yang Ling himself knew that those high-sounding dignitaries were deceiving his brothers into fighting bloody battles by shouting about killing the enemy and serving the country, while at the same time they were lavishly making money from the national crisis and living a luxurious life.
Although politicians are cold-hearted, soldiers are always passionate. Facing the ruined mountains and rivers and the burning, killing and looting by the Japanese invaders, he still resolutely picked up a gun and rushed to the battlefield with his brothers shouting the slogan of protecting the home and the country.
He is not fighting to protect the interests of these high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but for the people behind him and for the motherland under his feet, because he is a Chinese citizen, he was before, and he is now.
In order to prevent this bandit's den from resurrecting, after transporting the things down the mountain, Yang Ling ordered a fire to burn the place clean.
Anyway, it was raining continuously, so Yang Ling was not afraid of causing a mountain fire. It was not until Qingfeng Village was almost burned that they headed back with the captured trophies.
After working hard for most of the night, the brothers were very tired, so the speed inevitably slowed down, and they did not return to the temporary campsite in the town until dawn.
The captured bandits were handed over to the local police alive and dead, and the bandits who had been doing evil in the local area in the past few months were eliminated, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
After receiving the news, the mayor was filled with gratitude to Yang Ling and the others. He personally sent several fans of pork and some wine to express his gratitude to Yang Ling and the others as a group reward and condolences.
Yang Ling and the others naturally accepted all the things that were delivered to their door, and ordered the cooking team to free up and make a hot breakfast.
Their local militia had just been established, and they were all farmers. They were no match for those tough bandits. They failed to encircle and suppress them, but they were killed and injured many times.
The bandit Wei Heihu became proud after winning several battles. While he continued to rob houses and accumulate money, he also tried his best to get guns and bullets.
But they didn't expect that they kicked the iron plate, provoked Yang Ling, and were completely wiped out. They could only be considered unlucky.
Yang Ling declined the luncheon hosted by the mayor on the grounds of military duties. After all, it was just a matter of convenience to suppress this trend.
After chatting with the mayor for a while, the mayor said goodbye and left. Although Yang Ling was tired, he did not continue to rest, but prepared to continue to Changsha.
"Send some meat to the brothers in the car company, they are also working hard."
The brothers in the cooking class took out the few pork fans sent by the mayor and prepared them for frying. After all, in the years before refrigerators, they were easily spoiled.
Yang Ling naturally did not forget the brothers in the automobile company. After all, the brothers in the automobile company who drove and transported them along the way also had a hard time.
This business trip was not a loss, not only did they get the scarce money, but they also helped the local area eliminate a big harm. It was also a small episode during the march.
It was already ten o'clock after the brothers had breakfast. The brothers from the automobile company also refueled the car and checked that it was in order. The brothers boarded the car again and continued to drive to Changsha.
But this time their team was much larger. Dozens of cars pulling wounded soldiers walked with them. The female medical soldiers who took care of the wounded soldiers made the brothers more active and joined them as soon as they arrived at the resting place.
Set is close.
The female medical soldiers have long been accustomed to this and are not angry at all.
Yang Ling didn't care when he saw it, but Zhang Hongying came over and complained several times, saying that their brother was thick-skinned.
As the saying goes, after three years in the military camp, a sow competes with a Diao Chan. Yang Ling also turned a blind eye to his brothers. As long as they didn't mess around, they could do whatever they wanted. If they could see each other in the eye, they might even have a wedding banquet.
Already.
Zhang Hongying and the others felt a lot more relaxed because Yang Ling and the others were accompanying them along the way. Everywhere they went, the brothers rushed to carry out the wounded and patrol, which made them feel extremely at ease.
The further south we walked, the quieter the sound of gunfire became. When we approached Changsha, we could no longer hear the sound of gunfire behind us. As the brothers interacted with the female medical soldiers, they gradually recovered from the shadow of the war that had just passed.
walked out.
The car had been on the road for more than ten days. The weather became clear and the Japanese planes began to move frequently again. However, every time the Japanese planes were still far away, the air defense sentry discovered them.
The brothers were familiar with the roads. They drove the car to the side of the road to take cover, pulled down the branches and other camouflage made along the way, and deceived the Japanese soldiers' planes several times.
After a bumpy and tiring journey, it was not until November 15th that the convoy arrived at the outskirts of Changsha.
The 74th Army had already arrived here by train, and the brothers received bad news as soon as they got off the train.
It's not that the Japanese soldiers came over, but that the thousand-year-old city of Changsha was completely burned down by a fire on the 13th.
More than a dozen banks, more than a dozen universities and dozens of factories were burned to ashes along with more than 200,000 households in the city, but it was our own people who set the fire.
"Our army has received orders from Commander Xue and has been dispatched to the city to maintain order and rescue the victims. Your regiment should also hurry over."
As soon as Yang Ling and the others got off the bus, a staff officer from the division headquarters hurriedly found Yang Ling and asked them to enter the city.
After Wuhan fell, Changsha was under the threat of the Japanese. Yang Ling and the others were originally here to set up defenses, but who knew that they had not yet fought the Japanese, but the first thing they did was to go to the city to provide disaster relief.
