"Brother, why are you here?" Zhou Weiguo looked at Liu Yuan and said with a smile.
"Why, you've already gone to the mountains and become weeds. If you want to be a bandit, I can't come." Liu Yuan was really angry. With their family's education, there was no way he could become a bandit.
"Brother, what's wrong with being a bandit? Being a bandit in Qingfeng Village, I'm really good at fighting Japanese enemies." Zhou Weiguo is also a person who takes the soft side rather than the hard side. When Liu Yuan said this, his temper became a little bit worse.
"Yes, you have the ability to tell dad that you have become a bandit." Liu Yuan smiled, and the old god looked at him.
Zhou Weiguo was so stupid and lost his temper that he really didn't dare to tell the old man.
"What? Are you scared? Do you want me to ask someone to send you a message?" Liu Yuan continued to laugh.
"Hey, okay, let's have a meal together when we get here." Zhou Weiguo changed the subject and said.
"I'm really sorry that you left the Eighth Route Army." Liu Yuan looked at Zhou Weiguo and said seriously.
"Everyone has his or her own ambitions."
"Everyone has his own ambitions? Then you spent three years in military school, then went to Germany to study for two years, and came back just to become a bandit?" Liu Yuan said angrily.
"Brother, I am now a lieutenant general and division commander. Although I have no troops under my command, this does not change the fact that I am a senior officer." Zhou Weiguo became a little angry, "Although I am a bandit now, I still have
Serious military rank and appointment."
"I'm sorry, what I said was harsh." Liu Yuan also knew that what he said was a bit harsh, "But I really hope that you can join our Eighth Route Army. Ah Wen, since the July 7th Incident, the country has been lost and people's hearts have been scattered.
A country's generals are not a country. Our Eighth Route Army is a true anti-Japanese force. Although our equipment is not good, we have the heart, ambition and confidence to drive the Japanese out of China. This Qingfeng Village is not a place where you will stay for the rest of your life."
"I know." Zhou Weiguo naturally knew what Liu Yuan said, "But, brother, Qingfeng Village will not always be bandits. Trust me, brother."
"Okay." Liu Yuan said this and knew that Zhou Weiguo had made up his mind, so he said nothing more, "I have some information to tell you this time. The Japanese's 11th mixed brigade has also stationed in Laiyang.
,So, there are more than 10,000 Japs in Laiyang County now, so you should be careful."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Okay. Let's go and eat."
…
Laiyang County Headquarters
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"
"Come in!"
"Hi!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, all ministries have been prepared. Please give instructions."
"Yoshi, let's go!"
…
"The boss, the boss!" Lai Lai came running over again.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Ziming responded.
"The first boss, the second boss, and the brothers in the city have sent letters. The Japanese are making moves!" Seeing Zhou Weiguo also on the side, Lai Lai said.
"Um?"
"The Japanese troops have been making battle preparations for the past two days, and then this morning, they headed towards Hutou Mountain."
"How many people are there?" Zhou Weiguo asked, frowning.
"Brothers in the city said that the Japanese seem to have been mobilized, and there must be eight or nine thousand people." Lai Lai replied.
"The Japanese want to seize the Hutoushan base area." Zhou Weiguo said, "The Eighth Route Army should know the news, but the Eighth Route Army has less than 2,000 people in one regiment. It's very difficult."
"Brother, how about it? Do we want to help them?" Zhu Ziming asked.
"We must help. After all, we are a team fighting against Japanese invaders." Zhou Weiguo said, "But there is still too little information. I'm afraid it's not safe enough, so I'll go and inquire again."
"okay."
"Brother, how many people have we recruited now?"
"It has only been seven or eight days, and we have already recruited more than 200 brothers." Speaking of recruiting, Zhu Ziming said happily.
"Brother, are there any other anti-Japanese teams near Laiyang, or outside the Laiyang area, but it's not too far away?" Zhou Weiguo frowned and asked.
"Yes, there is a group of patriotic bandits near Pingdu. The bandits call themselves the Anti-Japanese Detachment. The leader is Xie Weiyi. They are said to be very accurate with their marksmanship. They have 500 brothers under their command. I heard they have killed several Japanese soldiers." Zhu Ziming
After thinking about it, he said.
"In this case, brother, you send someone to contact him and ask him to rush to Laiyang County immediately after receiving the news." Zhou Weiguo said, "The Eighth Route Army is in danger this time. We alone have too few people."
"Okay." Zhu Ziming nodded, "Is there anything else?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "It's a pity that we have too few people now, but we can cause some trouble for the Japanese. In this way, brother, you go arrange the people, and I will go and watch the training."
Immediately, Zhou Weiguo walked to the martial arts field.
The martial arts arena in Qingfeng Village has become much larger, but there is still room for hundreds of people. At this time, there are already more than 400 people in the martial arts arena.
It's just that the newly recruited people don't have enough tactical training. However, because there are live fire training every day, it won't be a problem for these people to fight an ambush.
"Shengli, Xinda, come with me to the Juyi Hall, everyone else, continue training." Zhou Weiguo said.
After Fang Shengli walked out, he asked, "Weiguo, what's wrong?"
"The Japanese are going to attack the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Hutoushan. Basically all the troops will be dispatched." Zhou Weiguo said, "So, I called you to come and discuss it."
"Master, do you have any ideas?" Gan Xinda asked.
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "I have some ideas, but I don't know if I can implement them yet."
"Surround Wei and rescue Zhao?" Fang Shengli asked.
"Hey, it's okay." Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Sure enough, after staying for a long time, we will have a tacit understanding."
"But we don't have enough manpower now." Gan Xinda frowned.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Yes, this is one of the constraints."
At this time, several people had arrived at the Juyi Hall, and Zhu Ziming ordered a person, and then the person ran away.
"Brother." Zhou Weiguo said.
"Brother, how's it going?"
"We have to look at the situation. Now if our brothers want to fight the Japanese with real swords and guns, that won't work. However, because we have live ammunition training every day, it is not a problem to conduct an ambush." Zhou Wei
National Highway, "Come, look, this is Hutou Mountain, this is Qifengkou, this is a line of sky."
"Are you going to fight again like last time?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "No, let's do the opposite this time. The Japs are equipped with mechanized troops, so if we go by normal conditions, the Japs will reach Hutoushan in about 8 hours. We won't have time to prepare, so
, we can only create some trouble for the Japanese."
"How to do it?"
"If the Japanese want to go to Hutou Mountain, they will definitely pass by our Qingfeng Village." Zhou Weiguo said, "After all, there is only one way to enter Hutou Mountain from outside."
Zhu Ziming nodded.
"So, now, we have to send people to lay minefields here." Zhou Weiguo said.
"Is it such a long distance? It's more than twenty miles!" Zhu Ziming said, "We don't have so many thunders!"
"There is no need to bury them all. Bury a section, leave a large section empty, bury another section, and then empty a large section." Zhou Weiguo explained, "In this way, the Japanese think that the mines have been cleared, and they will move forward. As a result, the front
There are mines again, and we have to stop. We clear mines again, and then we move forward, only to encounter mines again. Moreover, in areas where there are mines, there is no need to bury real mines. Anyway, once a mine goes off, the Japanese will
For demining, we can just place some metal objects."
"What a good idea!" Zhu Ziming's eyes lit up.
"Xinda, you take Huzi and the others, and the brothers from Qingfeng Village, to arrange the minefields together. After arranging the minefields, rush to Laiyang County immediately," Zhou Weiguo said.
"Yes." Gan Xinda immediately walked out of Juyi Hall.
"In this way, we can at least buy one day." Fang Shengli looked at the map and said, "Besides, the Japanese will count this minefield on the eighth road."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Not bad."
"Brother, is there anything else to do?" Zhu Ziming asked.
"Now, pack up your equipment immediately and prepare to attack Laiyang County!" Zhou Weiguo said.
"Attacking Laiyang County?"
"That's right, the Japs are out in force, and the defense of the county town is empty." Zhou Weiguo said, "Moreover, there are countless equipment and food in the county town."
"No wonder you asked Xie Weiwei and his gang to rush to Laiyang." Zhu Ziming suddenly realized, "Is this, what, besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao?"
"That's right, brother, your cultural level has improved greatly these days!" Zhou Weiguo praised with a smile.
"hey-hey."
…
Hutoushan
"Captain, the Japs are coming with great force this time." Li Yong said worriedly, "More than 10,000 people came out in full force, but we only have less than 2,000 people."
"So, we can't beat them." Qiu Ming said with a smile, "Besides, the people are here, so we can't leave them alone. If the devils don't find us, they will definitely take it out on the people."
"Yes, but captain, why are you laughing?"
"You have forgotten that our Independent Regiment is, after all, the Second Independent Regiment. We also have the First Independent Regiment!" Qiu Ming said.
"Captain, what do you mean? Encircle Wei and rescue Zhao?" Zhang Chu said, "Will Commander Liu of the Independent Regiment lead his men to attack Laiyang County?"
"That's right. So, we just need to hold on." Qiu Mingdao, "Now, I order the independent group to be on alert from now on, ready to stop the Japanese at any time!"
