Seeing the cold light of the long knife in Meng Mancang's hand flickering, the shopkeepers of the shops who were still noisy immediately closed their mouths quickly......

In these years, if you have a gun, you are the king of grass. Although the Eighth Route Army has been amiable when dealing with ordinary people since it appeared on the ground in southern Hebei, after all, it is a figure who grasps all kinds of long and short hard fires.

If you really provoke these evil gods who eat knife head rice to really anger their hearts, then maybe something can happen?!

Meng Mancang, who had round eyes and two long knives in his hands, spewed out of his nose angrily, and unconsciously brought a bit of the accent of the southern Shaanxi generation when he spoke: "Whose belongings fell from the sky and people can pick them up for nothing?" Isn't that all the money from getting up on the fifth watch, sleeping in the middle of the night, and a bead of sweat falling to the ground and falling eight petals? patted my heart and said, and asked me to take out my belongings to help others, and my boss was not happy! But now, a bite of food and a piece of clothing can save the lives of the villagers, and you can wrap up your belongings and watch the villagers die? ! ”

"As soon as we say that our Eighth Route Army Martial Arts Team is going to fight with devils in Hejia Daji, you are all anxious about your belongings first, and none of us are in a hurry Our Eighth Route Army Martial Arts Engineer Team is going to risk their lives to fight with devils? ! Who wasn't raised by biological parents? You are reluctant to give up money, why do our brothers of the Eighth Route Army have to give up their lives? ”

"If that's the case, then our Eighth Route Army Martial Arts Team won't be able to fight with the Japanese devils - let's just leave! If we hadn't thought about protecting the fleeing villagers, with our skills, the little devil wouldn't be able to catch us with eight legs! I have to drag the little devil to the point of exhaustion, let's turn around and return to the horse pistol, how can we kill the little devil and turn it on his back! ”

Seeing that Meng Mancang was really angry in his heart, the rich man He who was standing beside the chestnut group suddenly became half a body shorter, and hurriedly shouted with a smile on his face towards Meng Mancang, who was standing with horizontal eyebrows: "The words are wrong...... Wrong! These treasurers don't mean that, they are...... The eyelids are shallow, and I haven't seen much of the world, so this is the ...... of the small belly chicken intestines It's easy to discuss, everything is negotiable! You put the knife away first....... Don't dare to get angry! ”

Turning his head and glancing at Meng Mancang, the chestnut group raised his hand and motioned for Meng Mancang to put the two long knives into the scabbard on his back, and then turned his head and shouted at the shopkeepers with frightened expressions on their faces: "Fellow shopkeepers, you are all people who have traveled from south to north and have some knowledge, you should know how vicious the devil is!" can force the villagers in several counties to flee on a snowy day, can they just open up to the He family's big network?! To speak in good conscience, our Eighth Route Army is not willing to fight with devils in various villages. After all, the broken family is all bought by the villagers for their hard work, and whoever destroys their belongings is distressed! It's not a last resort, and our Eighth Route Army doesn't want to see the He family's big gathering smashed into a pile of rubble! ”

"But think about it, even if our Eighth Route Army lets go of the He family's Daji, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and goes out to fight with the devils in the realm where there is no danger to defend, then we can keep the He family's Daji from being harmed by the devils? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can keep the He family's big set, then what about the villagers who are almost 20,000 smaller? ! If our Eighth Route Army fights hard and can give the villagers a way to live, then we will not die in vain! But ......"

Raising his finger and pointing to the snow-covered mountains behind the He family's big gathering, the chestnut group shouted in a deep voice: "Before coming, our Eighth Route Army Southern Hebei Army Sub-district held a meeting and carefully calculated how to fight this battle. I am not afraid to tell everyone the truth - our Eighth Route Army must be at least three days in Hejiada, so as to barely ensure that the fleeing villagers can safely enter the mountains to avoid disasters. And whether the villagers who fled into the mountains can survive in this snowy weather depends on whether you are willing to help! The large army of our Eighth Route Army estimates that within half a day, it is time to go to the He family to build fortifications and prepare for the battle! In this half a day's time, the shopkeepers pondered carefully, so let's make up our minds! ”

As soon as the words fell, a member of the martial arts team guarding the door of the rich man's house had already hurriedly ran into the courtyard, leaned over to the chestnut group and whispered: "Captain, the vanguard of Commander Li's side has arrived!" Commander Li said that the large army would not enter the He family Daji, and directly built fortifications outside the He family Daji. The comrades of the vanguard team also brought some food with them, saying that they were making do with the fleeing villagers. The large army at the rear also brought food with them......."

His brows suddenly twisted into a big pimple, and the chestnut group suddenly interrupted the words of the martial arts team member: "The large army forcibly marched all the way from Tujia Village, and they still have food with them?" We don't have much food left in our army, do we? ”

Nodding heavily, the martial arts team member who summoned him replied: "I guess you have taken it all out?" Just now, I took a quick look, and almost all of the food that the comrades in the vanguard carried on their backs were serious dry food, but they brought their own food...... It is a cake made with wheat bran mixed with wild vegetables. ”

Without hesitation, he led a few martial arts team members who followed him to raise their legs and walk towards the gate, and the chestnut group said as they walked: "When the comrades of our martial arts team entered Hejia Daji, I heard from the fleeing villagers who had just arrived at Hejia Daji that the Gongnan County martial arts team was blocking the devils seventy or eighty miles behind them. The family foundation of the Gongnan County Martial Arts Team was originally thin, and they have been fighting hard with the devil until now, I am afraid that they will run out of ammunition for a long time! Arita , you immediately organize twenty comrades to meet them in the direction of Gongnan County and meet Yan Dahe and them! ”

Agreeing neatly, Zhong Youtian had just run out a few steps, but the chestnut group shouted urgently behind Zhong Youtian: "Youtian, you can't take care of saving your belongings at this time - you call Gou Da and bring a machine gun to reinforce it in case it rings, and bring more bullets!" If you bring Wei Zhengguang with you, when you retreat, the explosives and mines in his hand will definitely come in handy! I made it clear to Wei Zhengguang - it doesn't matter if all the devil mines from the devil's turret in Sanchawan are used up, someone is there, and I can make up for him at any time! ”

Seeing Zhong Youtian leading the order, the chestnut group said to the martial arts team members gathered around him again: "Go to a few more elaborate ones, and think of raising some chopping wood and cauldrons, and set up a pot stove to boil soup at the intersection of the road leading to the mountain from Hejia Daji!" It is not limited to grain and wild vegetables, everything that can be found and eaten is boiled. The fleeing villagers who organized the He family Daji advanced and retreated towards the mountains. Take a sip of hot soup before entering the mountain, and you can still hold it up for a while......"

"What about when you enter the mountain? Just rely on a sip of soup, and you can't stay up for half a day, but you can ......."

"Let's look at the present! Tell the big guys to clean all the dry food they are carrying and give it to the fleeing villagers! ”

"How many can there be? Our martial arts team plus the men and horses of the vanguard troops, the dry food that can be carried on their bodies is added up to make soup, and it is estimated that it is not enough to give a mouthful to the fleeing villagers......"

"The current ....... If you can save one, count it as one! Let's do it! The other comrades were scattered, looking for the people in charge of each village among the fleeing villagers, and gathering the fleeing villagers together according to the village, so that the big guys could not be thrown into a mess of scattered sand, and if the camp was chaotic during the retreat, it would be a big incident! ”

Seeing the group of chestnuts giving orders to the martial arts team members, they strode out of the gate of the He family's house, and the shopkeepers of the shops gathered in the courtyard of the rich man's house looked at each other and were stunned for a while, and then they rushed to the rich man who was standing in front of the door of the main house in a daze like waking up from a dream, and shouted nonsense: "Master He, what kind of charter is this matter, you have to give me an idea?" ”

"I really want to fight in He's big set....... What do we have...... Master He, do we have to think about it first and hide each family's belongings? ”

"What are you hiding? Your family runs a silk shop, even if you hide all the silk cloth in the wall, that cannonball will come down and scorch your silk cloth through the wall! ”

"That's right...... How do you know there's a sandwich wall in my shop?! ”

"Nonsense! One of the walls of your house is attached to my storeroom! In the middle of the night, you poured your stock in the wall, and I heard the commotion so much......"

"Or ...... Let's run while the Japanese haven't come yet, shall we? I'm going back to set up the car, how much can I carry? Although it is inevitable to have to pay compensation, it is better than losing all your money......"

Sighing helplessly, the rich man smiled bitterly and shook his head at the shopkeepers who gathered in front of him: "I said that all the shopkeepers, you all looked at me and spoke." So far, I don't have any ideas! I'm here to give a word to the big guys, I rented my He family's property pawnshop, and this year's rent is free, since I He family and you have a good relationship. If you want to go, hurry up, but I estimate that the surroundings of the He family's Daji have already been surrounded by the Japanese. If the Eighth Route Army does not attack us, will the Japanese be ruthless...... I don't dare to say, but you should each have your own creation! If you can go, you have a big life, and if you can't go, don't blame your own bad luck! If you want to be a collector, you have to hurry up at this time. If it's too late...... Even if the Eighth Route Army doesn't care about the hands and feet you move in private, and those fleeing villagers who are already hungry and crazy, I am afraid that they will have to ......."

Seeing that the rich man He turned his hands behind his back, turned his head and walked towards the backyard, a few shopkeepers who had dealt with the rich man He on weekdays suddenly chased after the rich man He with a hurry: "Master He, what about you?" What's your idea? ”

Turning his head with a miserable smile, the rich man He replied in a low voice: "This He family is a big gathering...... It's the lifeblood of my old He family! Ancestral inheritance, this speech is about to be cut off in my hands...... I don't want to do anything in the future, I will open a warehouse and release grain in a while, and take out all my belongings to the Eighth Route Army to relieve the villagers. The left and right are a broken family, so it is better to get a good word in the mouths of the villagers in ten miles and eight towns! Even if you go to see the ancestors of the He family after death, there will always be someone on your face to help you paste gold......"
