The people are pragmatic, and no matter how well they shout the slogan, if they can't feel it, it's in vain.

In the past twenty days, Han Feng almost dealt with the bandits in the entire Zhongtiao Mountain, and now the people have gone up the mountain again, except for the ghost's puppet army spies, they are really unimpeded, and they rarely see any bandits, even if they do, these bandits are different from the fierceness of the past, just quietly watching them and the poor people passing by.

This makes the people a little confused, could it be that the bandits have changed their nature?

In this era of war, bandits are everywhere, and the bandits in the area of the Nakatiao Mountain alone are innumerable, and there are many bandits who have gone down the mountain, some are reunited with their relatives at home, and some are nested in a certain village, or sneak into the city to find a way to make a living.

They didn't talk about the days when they were bandits, and how they heroically plucked incense, passed through the hall, joined the gang, and worshiped the gang have all become a thing of the past.

The most talked about is probably about the deeds of the Eighth Route Army, about the deeds of the Eighth Route Army Commander Han Lunatics.

I won't talk about the interesting things in it, and if I continue to talk about it, it is estimated that it will take three days and three nights.

In general, Han Feng led the team to suppress bandits in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the matter was not small, winning the hearts of the people for the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, the people in this area knew that they were not harassed, attacked, and robbed by bandits when they passed by, and that was all due to the Eighth Route Army.

Originally, the news was closed in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the people didn't even know that there was Jin, let alone know the image of the Eighth Route Army, the people and horses who controlled Zhongtiao Mountain have been changing over the years, and the most direct impact on the people is that life is becoming more and more difficult.

The conscripts and food grabbers simply used the last dilapidated house on which the people relied for their survival as a playground to play, but they did not know that every time they acted recklessly, they brought devastating disasters to the people.

As a result, the people of Zhongtiao Mountain had a more difficult life than in other places, and many people who could not stand this day risked their lives to cross the Yellow River south and flee, or go to Shandong, or Shanxi, or go south to Henan.

Now there are fewer and fewer people left in Nakajo Mountain, and the important thing is that they no longer seem to have trust in any armed group.

This time, the Eighth Route Army gave them hope.

The head of the Han regiment lived in Qi Village, and heard that the bandits around him often harassed the villagers, and threatened to go into the mountains to hand over these bandits, but the people didn't take it seriously.

But later, in the shock, it was discovered that Commander Han not only suppressed the bandits, but also exterminated the bandits in the entire Zhongtiao Mountain.

There was a lot of food hoarded in the bandits' village, and the villagers helped to go up the mountain into the village to transport it out, and as a reward, the head of the Han regiment gave the villagers a lot of food.

Such deeds spread ten, ten, hundreds, and soon reached the ears of the people of the entire Zhongtiao Mountain.

As Han Feng initially predicted, after the bandits in Zhongtiao Mountain were exterminated, not only the food of the team was temporarily replenished, but the image of the Eighth Route Army as a soldier of the people who was dedicated to doing things for the people was also completely launched in the entire Zhongtiao Mountain.

The significance of this kind of influence is undoubtedly far-reaching, not to mention, when the political commissar Xu Zilin led the team to continue to do ideological work in other villages, it was much easier, and when those villagers heard that the Eighth Route Army team was coming, they actually welcomed it, you must know that this kind of thing has not happened in Zhongtiao Mountain for decades.

Even the task force led by Captain Yao suddenly found that it had become much easier to do ideological work among the masses.

Later, after hearing about Han Feng's suppression of bandits, Captain Yao couldn't help but sigh and praised Han Feng's good life.

On the other hand, even the devils heard about the Eighth Route Army's suppression of bandits.

It's funny to say, the little devil's first reaction was to be happy, they have been harassed by the bandits of Zhongtiao Mountain during this time, so shouldn't they thank this Eighth Route Army team?

Of course not, the devil is not stupid, and he can also take into account the problems of the people's aspirations.

Therefore, the devils of Zhongtiao Mountain stepped up the pace of sweeping, searching, chasing, and intercepting, and sometimes in order to pursue a guerrilla force, the Japanese puppets could even run in the mountains for a whole day.

The major county towns are even more strictly defended, and people entering and leaving must be registered, and even identity cards are issued.

It seems that nothing is absolutely beneficial and harmless, because of Han Feng's suppression of bandits, the devil has strengthened the rule and prevention of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the anti-Japanese situation in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain has become grim for a while.

Of course, the so-called severity is also relatively speaking, and the defense and vigilance of the Japanese army in the major county towns are completely imaginary in the eyes of the commando team.

After the matter of the bandits in Zhongtiao Mountain was dealt with, Han Feng followed the original plan and led the commando team to enter Yangcheng at night.

A corner of Yangcheng, uninhabited, is an excellent hiding place, and it is also the meeting place agreed by Han Feng and Lao Hei.

Lao Hei, Xu Jingyou, and Shen Ping also brought a person when they came to meet, and the person looked a little thin from a distance, but when they got closer, Li Hai and the others were stunned for a while, this old guy was actually an acquaintance, isn't it the shopkeeper of Wanxianglou!

What are the three of them doing here with the shopkeeper of Wanxianglou?

Han Feng's face was relatively calm, and he seemed to have expected this matter for a long time.

Everyone met, and Lao Hei was about to explain the situation to Han Feng.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Comrade Lao Hei, since I have met the head of the Han regiment, I will introduce myself as an old man!"

Dai Xing, the head of the Yangcheng underground organization, the head of the Han regiment, has admired the name for a long time. ”

This thing is interesting, who would have thought that the shopkeeper of Wanxianglou was actually a member of the underground party of the Eighth Road?

At that time, all the commando members felt that the shopkeeper of Wanxianglou was just an ordinary old man, his appearance was not good, and his timid and fearful character was also revealed between the lines, but now it seems that it is very different from the facts.

Li Hai and the others were even a little afraid, "Old comrade, you are amazing, if you are a spy of devils, we will have fun that day." ”

Duan Peng's eyes also widened, a little incredulous, he suddenly felt that he was still a little unqualified as the leader of the commando, and there was a comrade of his own hidden under his nose, but he didn't notice it at all.

At that time, everyone's attention was attracted by the devil's Han Advance Team.

Dai Xing said with a smile, "You are all joking, Captain Han is worthy of his name, my old guy is only afraid that this little disguise has already been noticed by you, right?" Otherwise, with the cautious character of Captain Han, he would not have hesitated to hand over all the guns to my old guy for safekeeping when he was in Wanxianglou at that time. ”

This made the commandos a little clear, recalling that at that time, Han Feng had met with the shopkeeper of Wanxianglou, and after talking once, he seemed to have special trust in him.

At that time, the devil was going to search, and Han Feng directly ordered all the guns to be handed over to the shopkeeper to hide, and he didn't even let other members follow to guard.

Now that I think about it, it's really strange, it turns out that it's here.

Han Feng smiled, "The old comrade can lurk in this Yangcheng for so many years under the nose of the little devil, and the overwhelming spy organization search, this kind of silent hero is the most admirable." ”

Dai Xing said with a smile: "Head Han is too proud of my hometown, I'm just a little curious, how did Head Han find out my identity in Wanxianglou at that time?"

I didn't even notice this, if it weren't for the Browning that Captain Han left in my drawer when he left, I would have thought I had no flaws! ”

The members of the commando team were stunned, no wonder the commander of the battle used the Wang Ba box these times, but the Browning did not see the shadow, but it was left for the shopkeeper.

"Captain Han put the personal gun in my drawer, just to tell me that he had found out my identity and trusted me absolutely.

But I still don't understand, where is the old guy exposed? ”

Dai Xing asked again and again, and Han Feng had no choice but to say: "The old comrade is actually very well disguised, I believe that you should also be very successful in clearing your own details, otherwise the devil's spy organization will probably have found the door a long time ago."

However, there is one thing that the old comrades may have overlooked, when we went to Wanxianglou to hand over the guns to you for safekeeping.

The old comrades did show the consternation, resistance, and fear that an ordinary person should have.

But the action of you receiving the gun exposes yourself, ordinary people take the gun, how we pass it he will catch it, but the old comrade is obviously very familiar with these guns, when I handed you the submachine gun, you obviously subconsciously avoided the position of the insurance, which is enough to prove that the old shopkeeper is not an ordinary person.

Of course, this alone is not enough to confirm the identity of the old comrade, and it may also be a coincidence? Or is it true that the old comrade is an ordinary person, but what about those who have come into contact with these guns? ”

Dai Xing nodded in agreement and motioned for Han Feng to continue.

"In addition, in your back room, there are a lot of cloth shoes outside, these shoes are sewn and mended, and some of them have rotted several big holes, but the shopkeeper seems to be still insisting on wearing them.

Our comrades have the virtue of simplicity.

The point is that in the part below the forefoot of the thumb in these shoes, there is often a depression in the sole.

What is the cause of this? It's because he wears straw sandals, or walks barefoot too much, and probably only our Eighth Route Army meets this point, and I think the old comrade is probably an old Red Army!

This is the most important discovery, and the others only validate my conjectures. ”

But Dai Xing has nothing to say, what else can he say when he meets such a young man who is as careful as a hair?

"Head Han Feng, it's really humiliating for you not to come to our underground organization to work." In the end, this is Dai Xing's only emotion.
