When the sun was at noon, Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangcui were already sandwiched in the center of the ranks of the Eighth Route Army's martial arts team, walking through the tree-lined Tieping Mountain.

Like Mo Tianliu's calculations, Mrs. Jiang didn't hit a single one, and she accepted Mo Tianliu's conditions in one bite. What is different from Mo Tianliu's estimate is that after Li Ziqun, the captain of the Eighth Route Army's armed engineering team, stood in front of the men, women and children who could show up in the village to do the anti-Japanese mobilization propaganda, seven or eight Ding Zhuang from small surnames appeared in Dawu Village. After a closer look, these Ding Zhuang, who are willing to come forward to be soldiers, are actually all the masters of the landless and landless in Dawu Village!

His eyes rolled around three times, and Mo Tianliu had already figured out what the idea was in Mrs. Jiang's stomach......

After years of war, there were many cottage characters in the mountains and forests of nearly ten miles and eight townships in Qingle County. Even if Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village has always had the custom of practicing martial arts to strengthen his body and protect his homeland, he can't stand the hard fire in people's hands.

In the past, some people have mentioned buying guns to protect the village, but in this year of chaos, if you have a gun in your hand, you may be causing trouble. Since the figure of the Eighth Route Army said that he would not leave the ground around Qingle County in the future, and it was reasonable to look at it, and he couldn't hide from the number of Ding Zhuang's lives in Dawu Village, it was better to simply give out some of the public property of the Jiang clan's ancestral hall, and ask Ding Zhuang, who lacked land and land in the village, to carry a gun and eat with a mouthful of food, and to protect the safety of his own village with his hands!

can not only be involved, but also protect the home, why not?

Obviously, the chestnut group never expected that one of their anti-Japanese mobilizations could have such an enthusiastic response. After overjoying to accept Mo Tianliu and others to join his martial arts team, the chestnut group did not disappoint Mrs. Jiang, just like the previous night, he led the team to quickly leave Dawu Village and walked straight towards Tieping Mountain.

They are all strong young men from the hard background of the Zhuang family, and they usually cut firewood and hunt and do not walk the mountain roads, Mo Tianliu and Ding Zhuang of Dawu Village, who has newly joined the martial arts team, did not drag those old martial arts team members back when they were marching. In addition, Mo Tianliu, who likes to wander in Tieping Mountain on weekdays, guided the path, which made the martial arts team members take a lot of unjust roads. It's just that when the sun is at its peak, the martial arts team members can already vaguely see the appearance of a small village in Tieping Mountain from the dense trees and branches in the mountain forest.

Hearing the order to 'rest in place' at the front of the queue, Mo Tianliu pulled Sha Bangcui and quickly found a shade and sat down, and took out a white-faced hard bun from his arms and broke it in half: "Go and find saliva, I am really thirsty after walking for a long time!" ”

Before Sha Bangcui could get up according to his words, a Japanese military kettle that had been bumped so much that he could barely see the color of patent leather had already been handed to Mo Tianliu: "I have water here!" ”

Raising his eyes and looking at the group of chestnuts who stretched out his hand and handed the kettle in front of him, Mo Tianliu casually threw half of the white flour hard bun to Sha Bangcui, who was stupid beside him, and took the kettle of the chestnut group with his free hand: "The politeness of the big boss!" ”

Waving his hand to Mo Tianliu kindly, the chestnut group stood up and shouted to Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who was resting in the shade of the trees: "Everyone gather here, I have a few words to say to the big guy!" In addition to the vigilance work, the veteran team members also came over! ”

At the beginning of the shout, the veteran members of the martial arts team quickly gathered around the chestnut group, and squatted down around the chestnut group in their hands. And those Ding Zhuang, who had just joined the martial arts team in Dawu Village, were you looking at me, I looked at you, and after a long time, they squatted in front of the chestnut group with a timidly look.

Ding Zhuang nodded kindly to Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who had just joined the martial arts team, and said loudly to everyone: "As the old saying goes, there are no rules, there are no rules, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, and our Eighth Route Army martial arts team naturally has discipline!" This "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" will be taught to you slowly in the future. For now, let's take it step by step, let's talk about this title first......"

In a blink of an eye, he looked at Mo Tianliu, who was holding a kettle and pinching white flour and hard buns, and looked careless, and the chestnut group didn't care, and said to himself: "In our revolutionary team, we all call each other comrades, and superiors and subordinates can also call each other's positions!" ”

Blinking his eyes, Sha Bangcui picked up the words of the chestnut group at this moment: "What is comrade?" And also....... You shouldn't be called a master, so what should you be called? ”

"Comrades are ....... This question is more complicated, and I can't understand one or two sentences, so let's put it aside for a moment and talk about it in detail later. As for the salutation...... Just call me Captain! ”

Nodding in confusion, Sha Bangcui muttered to himself, "Captain....... The big master, the handle, the big take, the big one, the head of the club...... There are more and more numbers, and I can't remember them......."

Looking at Sha Bangcui, who looked ignorant, a little helplessly, and then at Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who also seemed to have not understood what he said, the chestnut group shook his head helplessly: "There is still a tradition in our revolutionary ranks that the old leads the new and the familiar helps the students, the old comrades should take care of the new comrades, and the new comrades should also learn more from the old comrades!" From now on, we will implement the traditional practice of bringing the old with the new and helping the students well, and each old comrade will help a new comrade carry the burden with him, so that the new comrades will be familiar with the discipline in our Eighth Route Army military engineering team as soon as possible! ”

Seeing that the old martial arts team members who were squatting beside the chestnut group with the guys on crutches stood up neatly and walked towards themselves, Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who was originally gathered together, suddenly retreated back again and again, and a few of his companions stumbled on their legs and feet, and suddenly fell on their buttocks, and shouted to those old martial arts workers with grinning teeth: "The chief is good, the family is almost unable to open the pot, and the old lady gave two steamed buns before going out, and the dry food that was burned between the teeth was saved.......

"My family of three is ....... this thick jacket"

"The family is poor, and I didn't bring anything out, I don't believe it, sir, you see ......."

In the chaotic shouting and shouting, seven or eight Ding Zhuang, who joined the martial arts team from Dawu Village, either hugged the burden in his arms and begged for mercy, or tightened the corners of his clothes that were obviously sewn with a few coins to dodge, and even more extraordinarily colorful, he simply pulled the belt of his trousers, revealing his dark body without slipping, to show that he was really destitute......

Looking at the panicked appearance of Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, a group of old martial arts workers couldn't help but stop their actions and laughed, and a few old martial arts workers squatted on the ground with laughter, but they made Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village who shouted for mercy confused?

Holding back the smile in his heart, the chestnut group coughed a few times, and then shouted at the old martial arts team members who were laughing so badly: "What are you smirking at one by one? When you first joined the revolutionary ranks, weren't you like this?! Don't talk about you, that is Commander Li Jiashun Li of the Southern Hebei Military Division, who didn't wear pants when he was a red ghost, and followed the team for thirty miles naked? Fighting six battles with a kitchen knife, only then did he capture a Hanyang-made?! ”

Although they saw the appearance of the chestnut group shouting at everyone with a serious face, the old martial arts team members who were laughing breathlessly seemed to be disapproving, with a smile on their faces, and each found a trembling Dawu Village Ding Zhuang, and caught the not heavy burden of those Dawu Village Ding Zhuang into their own hands.

Looking up at an old martial arts team member walking towards him, Sha Bangcui, who was half-squatting in the shade of the tree, shook his palm again and again, hugged a burden in his arms that was no more than the size of a jar, and subconsciously leaned towards Mo Tianliu's side: "I don't need it...... I'll just stay with the sky......"

Raising his hand and waving towards the old martial arts team members who looked back at him, the chestnut group didn't force it, but just smiled at Mo Tianliu: "Tianliu, you will follow me in the future?" I heard that there is nothing you don't know about the mountain path in this Tieping Mountain, and in the future, the action route of our team will have to rely on you? ”

Shaking his head nonchalantly, Mo Tianliu ate up the half-pulled white flour hard bun in his hand in three or two bites: "It's nothing!" Tieping Mountain is thirty miles in radius, and there is no boundary that I don't know about Mo Tian! I said big boss, when we came out of Dawu Village, you said you were going to run to Nianzi Village in Tieping Mountain? But there are only about a dozen households in this Nianzi Village, and they lack money and food, even Ding Zhuang...... What are you doing here with your men? ”

Pulling out a rough map from his arms, the chestnut group did not shy away from spreading the map under the shade of the tree at all: "According to the map drawn, the terrain around Nianzi Village is dangerous, and it can be attacked, retreated, and defended, plus ......"

Without waiting for the chestnut group to finish speaking, Mo Tianliu already snorted disdainfully: "I said that the big boss, I'm afraid your geographical map is not accurate, right?" In this Tieping Mountain, there is only a three-way road in front and back that can enter and exit, enter and attack, and retreat, but the surrounding mountains are not dangerous at all. Aside from those trails that I know alone, the people in Dawu Village can know that there are several shortcuts that can go over the mountain and enter the village, and there are many paths for chopping wood on the mountains next to the village! If you want to find a place to settle down for the big guys......"

Halfway through his words, Mo Tianliu had already looked at the chestnut group's brows and furrowed, and immediately swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach. And after staring at the crude map for a long time, and then standing up to look at the shape of the mountains around Nianzi Village, the chestnut group sighed helplessly: "Alas...... If you really believe in this map, I'm afraid that if you start a war, you will have a big deal! ”

As if agreeing with the chestnut group's statement, an old martial arts team member carrying a bow and crossbow echoed in a low voice: "This map is really ....... If you don't have it, you can draw it upwards, and those staff officers of the military division headquarters can't find us some better maps? ”

Reaching out and taking out a pencil head wrapped in a small cloth bag from his arms, the chestnut group carefully made a mark on the map, and then sighed and took the pencil and the map back into his arms: "Such a map was already obtained by Gui Maochao, the head of the reconnaissance section of the military division headquarters, who gave his life to break into Baoding Mansion. I heard that this picture was painted during the Qing Dynasty, and some places are still missing! Our Qingle County Martial Arts Team is not bad, but the Gongnan County Martial Arts Team doesn't have a map at all. I heard that when I first arrived in Gongnan County, I folded three, and they were all ......"

After saying the same thing, the chestnut group stopped talking suddenly, turned his head to look at Mo Tianliu who was sitting in the shade of the tree and said: "Tianliu, this Tieping Mountain is two hundred miles in radius, where is the terrain dangerous and can live in people?" Also, call me captain in the future, don't call me the boss! ”

With his hands on his thighs, Mo Tianliu suddenly came to his senses: "If you want to say that the terrain is dangerous and you can live in a place, there are several places in Tieping Mountain!" But the closest to us is the tea bowl village, the big boss, the tea bowl village can be regarded as a territory with a history, listen to the old generation people say......."

Seeing Mo Tian's eyebrows fluttering and foaming at the mouth telling him about the origin and current situation of Chawanzhai, and he had to piggyback on the title of 'big master' in three sentences, the chestnut group couldn't help but sigh slightly, and shook his head helplessly......
