Sure enough, as Zhang Guangzu said, Kato did not have any retaliatory sweep after the raid on Huangqi Town, on the contrary, the following days were very peaceful, and Huangqi Town was rebuilding the turret, but Ono Shoji couldn't swallow this breath and killed several people in Huangqi Town. At the same time, patrols in Yellow Flag Town have also doubled. The most unfortunate are the residents of the town, who usually don't dare to go out when they have nothing to do. Merchants also open late and close early, and some simply close down......

The independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army is still rapidly expanding its personnel during this period of time, and now Xiao Zhenbei's men have almost 800 people, divided into three battalions, but Xiao Zhenbei knows that most of these are new recruits, and it takes a long time of training to exert relatively strong combat effectiveness.

Therefore, now the main energy of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army is focused on the training of recruits, especially the stabbing and live ammunition shooting, which is the focus of training, judging from the previous combat records, in the fight bayonet, the Eighth Route Army does not have an advantage, first of all, the weapons are not superior, and then there is no good training, those recruits completely rely on a momentum when charging, but when it comes to stabbing skills, it is far inferior to the little devils who have been strictly trained. Now I also have a lot of 38 big cover guns in my hand, and I don't lose to the little devils in terms of weapons, it depends on the quality of training!

Now in Xiao Zhenbei's troops, half of the soldiers are using 38-type rifles, which were captured in these battles, and there were more of them, but, as Zhuang Quan said, Xiao Zhenbei took down Huangqi Town this time, and the captured weapons and materials were very polite and friendly to the leaders of the superiors to go to half, and there were not a few of the other 30 horses left, not only the superior leaders, but even some of Xiao Zhenbei's old comrades-in-arms were also thick-skinned and old-faced to send people to ask for one or two, all of them were regiment commanders and battalion commanders. I'm embarrassed not to give face!

Xiao Zhenbei feels scared when he thinks about it now, he didn't think there were so many troops when he was fighting in peacetime, but now, this regiment and that battalion have all popped up, fortunately, those cans have been hidden by him, otherwise there will be not much left.

However, those medical supplies, Lao Xiao did not hide, these are for the treatment of the wounded, no matter which regiment or battalion of the wounded, they are all their comrades-in-arms, this must not be ambiguous, so Lao Xiao took the initiative to hand over more than half of these medical supplies, then maybe he can save dozens of wounded!

……

During this period of time, Zhang Guangzu should be the busiest, not only has to give political lessons to those recruits, but also takes advantage of this period of calm to often go to Fangtong Town, where the armed forces behind enemy lines are also vigorously developed. The number of the martial arts team has grown to forty people, but the guns and ammunition still can't keep up, only a dozen guns, and some broadswords and spears. Comrade Chu Ying also went back to take part in the armed work behind enemy lines, because the plainclothes teams in Fangtong Town had withdrawn to Pingdu County.

It turned out that after Huang Sen died, his brother Huang Lin took over the Imperial Army, but many people didn't buy the original squad leaders and squadron leaders, they all followed Huang Sen, as soon as Huang Lin took office, he wanted to replace these squad leaders with his own people, which led to internal contradictions, so those plainclothes teams also returned to the county, and they were all selected by Huang Sen from the Imperial Army.

At this time, I have to mention one person, that is Huang An, the housekeeper entrusted by Huang Sen on his deathbed, although this guy is only half a literati, he can't do kung fu and can't shoot, but this guy is a very scheming person. Huang Lin's work is very good, even more powerful than the two-headed crocodile brothers, but Huang Lin has no brains, just a reckless man, and he can't suppress those imperial alliance troops at all.

At this time, Huang An gave Huang Lin a lot of ideas, buy what can be bought, and kill what can't be bought, don't look at Huang An as a literati, but he is really ruthless enough to do things, in just one month, several small leaders in the Imperial Alliance Army who opposed Huang Lin, some were poisoned, some were assassinated, and more were confiscated and bought! It can be said that Huang An helped Huang Lin regain control of the Imperial Association Army in a short period of time, and of course, in order to buy those who are greedy for money, the Huang family also contributed a lot of money. But this is all within Huang An's plan.

Huang An not only sat firmly in the position of Huang Lin's master, but he also got Huang Sen's eldest wife done, although Huang Sen's eldest wife is in her forties and is old, but Huang An has his own plans, so he secretly fights with Huang Sen's eldest wife. In this way, Huang An is proud of the spring breeze in the Huang family and the Imperial Army, especially when he quelled the internal turmoil in the Imperial Army so quickly, he was deeply appreciated by Kato and praised by Kato, so that Huang An's status is now higher.

What worries Huang Lin and Huang An now is that there are too few people in the Imperial Army, and this time two hundred people were drawn out to garrison Huangqi Town, so that there were only four hundred people left in the Imperial Association Army in the county, and one hundred were wounded. In addition, Kato proposed to expand the number of people in the plainclothes team, which made Huang An a little anxious......

……

On Jianmao Mountain, Zhuang Quan finally came back after living in Heifengling for a few days, of course, Shan Erhu and they also came back together, they have been addicted to horseback riding these days, and now they want to come back to rest! Now they are gradually getting used to the apricot blossom behind Zhuang Quan, anyway, she doesn't speak, everyone seems to have no this. In fact, everyone likes Xinghua a lot, especially after she snatched back the black horse, everyone was impressed by her. But the habits or concepts she has been cultivated since she was a child are deep-rooted, very traditional, very conservative and feudal, and other men will not say a word, even if they are very familiar with Shan Erhu, that is, at most they help Zhuang Quan convey orders, and the others are silent, and it is better to be with those women, sometimes I can say a few words, but it is very rare!

Don't look at Shan Erhu, they are very envious of Zhuang Quan for having such a warm bed, but Zhuang Quan is very worried, and secretly asked Baobao: "Baobao!" Do you think this apricot blossom will be pregnant? If you are pregnant, what can you do? ”

"Brother! As long as you are sowing, there will be a harvest, sooner or later! It's a big deal to be born, I look forward to the joy of the apricot blossoms! In this way, her little concubine is done! Wei Baobao said heartlessly.

"But I didn't plan to have a baby with her? If I have a child, I will be older than my dad in terms of the date of birth. Zhuang Quan said worriedly.

"Huh! I didn't think much of it! It's okay, you use calculated ovulation contraception first, and next time I will bring a long-acting contraceptive injection, and one injection can keep you fine for three months! Wei Baobao said confidently that he is an expert in this area and has a wealth of experience.

But Zhuang Quan was not very happy, he was thinking about what would happen in the future, if he went back in the future, what would Xinghua do? In these matters, Zhuang Quan is not as decisive as when he was fighting!

Zhuang Quan came to the council hall with some worries, and saw that the map on the wall had added some newly marked details, and curtains were made on both sides, which could be pulled up when not in use, which Du Mengyun thought about was still more thoughtful.

Seeing Zhuang Quan, Du Mengyun was a little surprised and a little weird, smiled slightly and took the initiative to say hello: "Big boss, you're back!" ”

"Hmmm! You're back, you've got a good deal here! What are you laughing at? Zhuang Quan was looked at by Du Mengyun and asked with a little weakness.

"Huh! Why didn't your personal girl follow you? Du Mengyun still asked with a smile.

"Oh! went to Zhao Hongmei's, as soon as the two of them met, Zhao Hongmei had to pull her to say for a long time, you women are like this! Zhuang Quan said with a snort.

"Now I have everything, even the personal maid, are you satisfied?" Du Mengyun covered her mouth and smiled, but her heart was inexplicably a little sour!

"Hey, hey! Don't laugh at me! I'm worried about this! Zhuang Quan said with a smile, why do women like him to listen to these things?

"Worried? What are you worried about? It's too late for your brothers to envy you! Du Mengyun asked with some surprise.

"You also know that we are coming back from abroad, if we go back in the future, and we can't take Xinghua with us, it won't hurt others!" Zhuang Quan would like to hear what Du Mengyun has to say.

"No? Even if you're gone, she's still your person! What, you're afraid that she will run away with someone else again? Du Mengyun doesn't understand what Zhuang Quan is worried about, although Du Mengyun is also a new woman, very open-minded, and supports women's emancipation, but she also has limitations, she only recognizes those so-called intellectual women like her, and she still has a certain prejudice against a girl like Xinghua.

"It's not! I mean, if she's happy, how can I let her go? Zhuang Quan said hurriedly.

"Isn't that a good thing? Don't all big families want to have more children and grandchildren! Besides, even if you want to go back, you can take your children back! Now not many big families have run away with their wives before the devil comes, and some of the maids and concubines stay in the old house to live, and then the war subsides, waiting for the master to come back! Du Mengyun seemed to say it naturally.

"Huh? So what if you can't come back? ”

"That's no way, the maid and concubine are at a low level after all, and the head of the family can't take care of it so much! Don't you see that many houses are full of women guarding the house? But it's also quite pitiful, they are often bullied and blackmailed by those ruffians and hooligans! Many people left the house and ran away quietly! Du Mengyun said with some sympathy.

“……”

Zhuang Quan was even more depressed when he heard this, he must not let Xinghua get pregnant!
