After all, they have lived together for more than 20 years. As soon as his eldest son's expression changed, Father Zhang guessed 70% to 80% of what he was thinking!
Then he stood up and walked into the back room while saying: "Xingdong, come in with me!"
"Close the door by the way!"
When the boss stood in front of him, Zhang's face suddenly darkened, and he reminded him seriously: "Xingdong, don't do this nonsense!"
"I know you are thinking about the order announced by the Eighth Route Army at the entrance of the village at night. Don't even think about it, and you must not do it!"
"To help them in the afternoon, there will be help from every household. Even if Er Gouzi wants to take revenge, there will be no one to take the lead. In the end, it will probably be nothing!"
"But this is not possible. If you go to the Eighth Route Army, no matter whether the information provided to the Eighth Route Army is useful or not, you will take the lead!"
"If those idiots want revenge, they will definitely come to you first!"
The boss looked unconvinced and said, "What should we do?"
"There are still a few months until the autumn harvest. Even if we replace all the white flour and horsemeat given to us by the Eighth Route Army in the afternoon with grains, it will only be enough for our family for two months!"
"When there is no food, everyone will starve to death!"
"Since we're all going to die, we might as well give it a try!"
"One piece of news can be exchanged for one hundred pounds of grain, which is enough for our family to last until the autumn harvest!"
"Even if Ergouzi wants to take revenge in the future, it will be revenge on me. You can live on!"
"Dad, you don't have to persuade me, I must go tonight!"
"We're late. If someone had told the Eighth Route Army the news in advance, the news would only be worth ten pounds of food. That would be a loss!"
"And even if I go, I won't necessarily be retaliated against!"
"This morning I went to the entrance of the village to see the Ergouzi who were beaten to death by the Eighth Route Army. Except for Mr. Zhang and his four gangsters who ran away, everyone else in our village was beaten to death by the Eighth Route Army!"
"If the Eighth Route Army can kill all the rich man Zhang and those four losers, even if the Japanese come back in the future and re-establish the maintenance committee, the new losers will not recognize us, let alone take revenge!"
Father Zhang shook his head and replied: "How can it be so simple!"
"The rich man Zhang has a gun and food in his hand, and he is hiding in the mountains. The dragon has its head but not its tail. It will be too difficult for the Eighth Route Army to destroy them!"
"If they hadn't killed Mr. Zhang, they would definitely take revenge on us in the future!"
"He has been in our Gongqiao Village for so many years, and he has always only taken advantage and never suffered any losses!
"If he really takes revenge, our whole family will suffer!"
A trace of hesitation slowly flashed across the eldest son's face!
If he was just being retaliated against, even if he died, he wouldn't have any worries at all!
But once family members are involved, it's different!
According to Zhang's past style of doing things in the village, he can really do it. If one person betrays him, the whole family will suffer!
But it didn’t last long, and the hesitation on his face disappeared!
He replied firmly: "Dad, I believe in the Eighth Route Army!"
"They can kill more than a thousand Japanese, but Rich Man Zhang can definitely kill just a few of them!"
"Also, a few days ago I went into the mountains to cut firewood and found the lair of Rich Man Zhang in the mountain. It was in a cave. As long as I told the Eighth Route Army that they would send troops to block the entrance of the cave, Rich Man Zhang would still be dead even if he had three heads and six arms!
"
"I'll climb over the wall and go out in a while. Try not to let others see me. Don't worry, Dad, I won't hurt my family!"
In order to facilitate the fellow villagers to report the situation, the third battalion commander Huang Sheng directly set up the battalion headquarters in the middle of the village!
He has been waiting at the headquarters for almost three hours, but no fellow villager has arrived!
"Did I make a miscalculation? A news exchange for one hundred kilograms of grain is not enough to make the villagers excited?" Huang Sheng frowned and said to himself!
Just when he was hesitating whether to take a rest and wait until dawn to change the 100 kilograms of grain into 150 kilograms of grain, the guard rushed in with excitement on his face!
"Battal Commander, someone is here. He's a young man. He helped us clean the battlefield this afternoon. I've seen him sneak into the headquarters!"
"Bring him in quickly and I'll question him personally!"
Huang Sheng's frown quickly relaxed, and then he ordered with an expectant look on his face, hoping that the information brought by the other party would be useful!
Zhang Xingdong, the eldest son of the Zhang family, walked in with a cautious look. When he saw Huang Sheng, he was obviously frightened!
During the day, he already knew that Huang Sheng was the battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army and was in charge of seven to eight hundred people!
After walking up to Huang Sheng, he was so shocked by his identity that he didn't react for a long time until Huang Sheng spoke first!
"Hello, fellow fellow, I am the commander of the third battalion of the garrison. You can call me Battalion Commander Huang. I don't know what information you bring us! As long as it is useful, you can carry a hundred kilograms of food back right away!"
"Hello, Commander Huang!" Zhang Xingdong finally came to his senses and asked with a guilty conscience!
"After I told the news, you really gave me a hundred catties of grain!"
"Of course, our Eighth Route Army keeps what we say. The food is in the tent next to it, and it's guaranteed to be a pound!" Huang Sheng answered with certainty, giving Zhang Xingdong reassurance!
Zhang Xingdong no longer hesitated: "Captain Huang, it's like this. I went into the mountain three days ago to cut firewood, and accidentally discovered the rich man Zhang's lair in the mountain. It's a cave. You can find it fifteen miles into the mountain. It's very hidden!"
Huang Sheng was so happy at that time!
This information is so useful, maybe this information can attack the remaining spies in Gongqiao Village!
Immediately asked: "Where is the specific location?"
As soon as he said the words, Huang Sheng regretted it.
There is no local in the army, and Rich Man Zhang’s lair is located fifteen miles into the mountains. Even if he tells the location, he can’t find it, and it’s easy to scare them away. It will definitely be more difficult to kill them then!
After thinking for a few seconds, he continued to ask: "Fellow, can you lead us and help us find the lair of Rich Man Zhang!"
"Don't worry, our Eighth Route Army will never let your work go in vain!"
"As long as you lead the way and help us find the enemy's lair, after we eliminate this enemy group, I will give you another hundred catties of grain as reward!"
Zhang Xingdong hesitated for a long time before making a decision!
"Yes, but you must eliminate all the rich man Zhang and his henchmen, otherwise I will definitely be the first to be retaliated by them!"
The smile on Huang Sheng's face grew wider, and he immediately replied: "No problem, our Eighth Route Army keeps its word!"
"Even if we don't find the enemy there, we will give you the two hundred kilograms of food promised, and we will send troops to protect you until the enemy is completely wiped out by us!"
"Then I'll do it!" Zhang Xingdong no longer hesitated!
Huang Sheng reacted faster and immediately shouted to the guard at the door: "The guard platoon must gather immediately and bring all weapons and ammunition. We have a mission!"
