"The food in the hands of the Japanese is not easy to snatch, so we will snatch it from the hands of these maintenance traitors!" Wang Ping made a decisive decision.
"But, Captain, the Japs have blocked the mountain pass and we can't get out at all! How can we grab it! And even if we grab the food, we can't transport it in without a road!" Zhong Chenggong didn't have much confidence in this decision and frowned.
reminded.
"Don't forget what I used to do?" Wang Ping regained his confidence and answered with certainty.
"I, Li Wen, will draw eight more people from the whole group, and ten of us will go out to get food, and we will try to come back before dawn!"
Li Wen was the first to react: "We have few people, so we can get out without going through the mountain pass. Leader, I'm going to pick people now!"
Zhong Chenggong was very opposed to Wang Ping crossing the Japanese and puppet blockade alone and going to the Japanese hinterland to grab food.
However, the new regiment has run out of food. If they cannot get food before dawn, everyone will be hungry. By then, the army may collapse at any time.
Rather than letting the army collapse, it is better to take a risk and fight hard.
A group of ten people specifically chose a place with dense forests to walk. It took a full hour to complete the two to three kilometers of mountain road.
"Captain, there is a forest just ahead. There are only three puppet soldiers guarding here. There are no Japanese. They all seem to be asleep!" Li Wen reported as soon as he ran to Wang Ping.
"Don't alert the snake, just touch it!" Wang Ping ordered decisively.
A small team of ten people, under the cover of night, easily made their way out of the mountain under the noses of the three puppet soldiers, and then headed towards the village a few kilometers away.
"Captain, the maintenance association is in the Zhang family in the middle of the village. The owner of the Zhang family is the president of the maintenance association. He has asked more than a dozen servants to form the bodyguards of the maintenance association. In just a few days, there are already several people who are related to the Zhang family.
The common people in Qiu were accused of collaborating with the anti-Japanese troops and sent to the county jail!" Li Wen, who came back from the village half an hour early for investigation, told what he saw and heard in as much detail as possible.
"Go directly to the maintenance meeting and kill the enemy with bayonets. Do not shoot unless absolutely necessary!" Wang Ping immediately made the decision to take action.
Then, together with Li Wen, the eight veterans of the new regiment looked at each other with incredible eyes and cooperated with each other, like ghosts in the night, quickly entering the village!
Two cold rays of light flashed past the door of the Zhang family. The two traitors who were snoring at the door were killed before they even had time to open their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the closed door of the Zhang family was pushed open.
"Divide four people into the back door. Don't let anyone leave the Zhang family. The others will attack from the front with me. We should use bayonets to deal with the enemy!" Wang Ping ordered in a low voice.
Then he held the bayonet and together with Li Wen, continued to lead the way and rush to the front!
Soon, Wang Ping searched out all the rifles and pistols equipped by more than a dozen traitors in the Maintenance Association.
Without weapons, the usually arrogant traitors can no longer be arrogant.
With everyone pointing guns at them, they tied themselves up in pairs.
Li Wen was still uneasy and stuffed a pair of smelly socks into each of their mouths.
After another ten minutes, more than a dozen members of the Zhang family and their servants were all tied up in the front yard.
"Captain, you have become rich. There is a lot of food stored in the backyard!" Xiong Changhe, the commander of the first company who came out with Wang Ping, reported excitedly as soon as he rushed out of the backyard.
Li Wen also rushed out, followed by two soldiers carrying a medium-sized box!
"Captain, the Zhang family doesn't have much money. I asked just now. They just spent a lot of money to buy weapons from the Japs. The money was sent to the Japs, but the Japs haven't sent the weapons yet. He wanted to
Expand his team of traitors!"
Although Li Wen said he didn't have any money, Xiong Changhe was still frightened after opening the box.
More than a dozen gold bars and hundreds of pieces of gold were piled in the box, making it dazzling.
For ordinary Eighth Route Army soldiers, they may have never seen so much ocean and gold in their lives.
Just when Xiong Changhe couldn't help but his eyes were shining, Wang Ping was very calm.
Wang Ping was confident in capturing these traitors and had no worries at all.
Now that he has food and money, Wang Ping is not as happy as he was at first. He frowned and asked Li Wen: "I asked you to pay attention to whether there are any horses in Zhang's backyard to transport things. Can you find them? There are no horses and mules.
That’s fine, as long as you can carry something, follow our march!”
"It really does!" Li Wen reacted immediately.
"A total of four cart-horses and four mules!"
"That's good!" Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief obviously, and then ordered: "The horses have four hundred kilograms of grain per camel, and the mules and camels have two hundred kilograms of grain. All of them require white flour and rice. If there is not enough, add millet. In addition,
, take away all the salt and oil from the kitchen!"
Sometimes, Wang Ping showed no mercy.
The traitors who had lives in their hands all had their necks wiped clean, and those who had no lives in their hands were all tied up and imprisoned in two houses to ensure their safety back to the mountain.
More than two thousand kilograms of grain were obtained, and twelve rifles, two box cannons, and gold and silver worth three thousand oceans were also seized. On the way back, except for Wang Ping and Li Wen, the remaining eight people all had smiles on their faces.
However, as they got closer and closer to the mountain pass, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.
We have brought so many things with us and it is definitely not possible to return along the original route.
When we left the mountain, it was very difficult for everyone without bringing anything with us. Now we brought eight horses and mules loaded with food, and we couldn't leave at all.
"Captain, you can only enter the mountain through the mountain pass!" Xiong Changhe walked to Wang Ping and reminded him, with a worried look on his face!
Then he analyzed: "The Japs are stationed on the high ground next to the mountain road. There is a heavy machine gun pointed at the mountain road. The machine gun fire alone can seal the mountain road tightly. It is impossible for us to rush over."
"Moreover, the Japanese and puppets have set up a roadblock and set up a checkpoint on the mountain road. Seven or eight Japanese and puppet troops and a light machine gun are guarding there. There is no other way around it!"
Except for himself, all nine people's eyes were focused on Wang Ping.
Li Wen also frowned, unable to think of a solution.
"Just rush over!" Just when everyone's faces were getting worse and worse, Wang Ping said in surprise.
"I'll deal with the heavy machine guns on the top of the mountain and make sure they don't fire. You deal with the seven or eight Japanese and puppet troops on the mountain road. Once the guns sound, I'll lead the horses and mules and charge into the mountain!"
"I made an agreement with Battalion Commander Zhong when I left. Now at least one of our platoons is ambushing us on the opposite side. As soon as gunshots sound, they will attack the high ground next to the mountain road to attract Japanese firepower. As long as we are fast, plus
Under the cover of night, we can rush over in a minute at most!"
"Also, the Japanese roadblocks on the mountain road are all facing the mountains. If we shoot from behind them, they will be unable to defend themselves!"
"If you have a pistol, use a pistol, and if you don't have a pistol, use a rifle. Get as close as possible to the checkpoint before shooting. Try to kill them in one shot."
