Listening to the gunshots coming from the valley behind the village, the people staying in the village were also curious. Although the Eighth Route Army can often be seen training in normal times, it is rare to hear gunfire near the village. In these years, the sound of gunfire is often prone to panic among the people.

Fortunately, the soldiers stationed in the village also explained to the villagers in due course that this was the target shooting of the army rather than an accident. Since the Eighth Route Army entered the village, the villagers, who had suffered from the scourge of bandits before, also knew that there was almost no trace of bandits in the vicinity.

Moreover, after the Eighth Route Army entered the village, those soldiers of the Eighth Route Army occasionally did things for the people, which made the villagers feel very relieved. But many villagers still don't know that Lao Balu, who often lives in the compound at the entrance of the village, is the famous Mr. Zhu.

Taking into account the movement caused by the live ammunition targeting, the troops responsible for the perimeter of the command headquarters still raised the alert level. Fortunately, the village where the headquarters is located is also far from the road, and it is difficult for the gunfire to reach the other side of the road.

This also means that the little devils stationed in the city, or who want to find the location of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, are also difficult to touch the vicinity of the village through the sound of gunfire. In addition to the sentinels patrolling the perimeter, the Eighth Route Army also deployed lurking posts.

Just as Hu Biao accompanied Mr. Zhu and others to test the gun, and at the same time explained the essentials of sniping to the selected soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Lin Yashi, who came in with Hu Biao, suddenly saw a familiar face among the vigilant soldiers.

Lin Yashi, who stepped forward in disbelief and cautiously, walked behind the soldier in military uniform and said, "Second brother? ”

When the words fell, the soldier who was on guard duty quickly turned around and said a little sluggishly: "Little sister? Why are you here? ”

"Second brother! It's really you! All these years, you died there! Our family is looking for you so hard, why are you so ruthless! ”

With Lin Yashi's heart-rending crying, Hu Biao, Mr. Hu and others, who were testing the gun, quickly looked at Lin Yashi and the young soldier who were hugging each other. Seeing this scene, Hu Biao was somewhat surprised.

Then he stepped forward and said, "Xiaoya, what's wrong?" You are? ”

"Hello chief, I'm her second brother! You are? ”

Perhaps seeing that her brother and sister had become the focus of everyone, Lin Yashi, who felt a little embarrassed, slowly stabilized her excited emotions and said: "Captain, he is my second brother Lin Dingyuan." I was studying in Peking back then, but my whereabouts were unknown! ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Biao was also surprised, but then said with a smile: "Xiaoya, shouldn't you be happy to find your second brother?" Okay, why are you still crying? Now that you have found your loved ones, you can finally rest assured, right? ”

"Hmmm! Thank you, Captain! If my father and mother knew that the second brother was still alive, they would be very happy. It's a pity that my father and mother will never see this day again. Second brother, my father and mother let the little devil's plane blow up, and we are homeless! ”

"What? Little sister, that's not true, is it? ”

"Second brother, it's true! During the Battle of Songhu, my father and mother were killed by a bomb dropped by the little devil. I happened to be at school at the time, and I didn't know the news until I got home. Our house has been blown up, you must avenge your father! ”

Listening to Lin Yashi's voice choked up and told this cruel truth, Lin Dingyuan, who had been away from home for several years, also felt a heart-rending pain. When he joined the organization in Beiping, he never contacted his family in order to avoid disturbing his family.

In Lin Dingyuan's view, he hopes to wait for the situation to stabilize before contacting his family. Earlier, during the Battle of Songhu, he was also worried about the safety of his family. But he always felt that his family lived in the concession, and the little devil should not dare to mess around.

As a result, I didn't expect to hear such a nightmare before I could recover from the joy of reuniting with my little sister. Even if he chose a different revolutionary path from his eldest brother, he still missed his family and parents!

Wang Hongchun, who was staying aside, also said in a timely manner: "Staff Officer Lin, your hometown is from Shanghai?" ”

"Yes, Brigadier Commander! Earlier, my family was opposed to me joining the organization, and I was afraid that it would affect my family, so I never contacted my family. It's just that I didn't expect that I couldn't even see my father and mother for the last time, I'm not filial! ”

Looking at the brother and sister who couldn't hide their sadness, Hu Biao also said in a timely manner: "Xiaoya, have a good chat with your brother." Something, though we don't want it to happen. But the matter has come to this point, and you brothers and sisters are still mourning. Don't be too sad! ”

"Yes, Captain! Second brother, let's go outside! I have so much to say to you! ”

Seeing the two siblings leave, Wang Hongchun said a little gossipy: "Captain Hu, who is this girl?" ”

"Don't get me wrong! She was my radio operator, and I met her earlier during the battle in Jinling. After her parents were killed, she went to Jinling alone to find her eldest brother who served in the teaching corps. As a result, when she arrived in Jinling, her eldest brother had already broken through.

At that time, I was leading a team to the presidential palace just in time, and since she had attended a church school in Shanghai and had learned some nursing, I asked her to take care of the wounded. Later, when I evacuated, I took her with me, and finally took the initiative to go to the front line to fight devils.

Considering that she was a girl, I had her taught to receive and receive telegrams and let her work as a telegrapher. In this case, it is at least safer than if we stayed on the front line every day to kill the enemy. Unexpectedly, she could still meet her brother here! ”

"Her eldest brother is also a soldier?"

"Hmmm! Earlier, he was a major staff officer, and after the end of the Jinling Defense War, the teaching corps was also expanded into an army. As far as I know, after her eldest brother was promoted to lieutenant colonel, he had already served as the chief of staff of a new main regiment.

Originally, I wanted someone to send her to the rear, but she didn't want to go. As for this second brother, she always thought that it was possible to sacrifice. She only knew that her second brother had joined you, but she never knew that her second brother would be here. ”

Knowing this kind of family relationship, it is also valued in the Eighth Route Army. Especially Wang Hongchun before, he also called Lin Yashi's second brother 'staff officer'. This means that Lin Dingyuan is in the Eighth Route Army, and his position should not be an ordinary soldier.

Seeing Hu Biao's expression of trying his best to explain, Mr. Zhu also smiled and said: "Captain Hu, don't worry, Comrade Lin Dingyuan's situation is also very common in our Eighth Route Army. Speaking of which, our identity does bring a lot of inconvenience to the soldiers! ”

"General Zhu, it's serious. I only hope that this incident will not affect the development of Staff Officer Lin. At least I know that many of the young people who have joined your army are loyal and good comrades! ”

With Mr. Zhu's words, Hu Biao can rest assured. Now he only hopes that Lin Dingyuan did not hide his family background from the army. Otherwise, Lin Dingyuan will be in the Eighth Route Army in the future, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to be reused.

After the episode of the reunion of the siblings at the shooting range, the calibration of the ten sniper rifles was completed. These ten sniper rifles, Mr. Zhu directly handed over to the guard battalion of the headquarters for management. As for how it will be distributed, I believe that there will be arrangements at that time.

It should not be difficult to select ten sharpshooters from the guard battalion. As for these ten sharpshooters, if they want to become real snipers, they also need to train hard and continuously. Only by mastering firearms skills can you become a real sniper.

When he returned to the village compound, Mr. Zhu also ordered someone to move the first batch of prepaid drug money. Looking at a few boxes of medicines, in exchange for a few boxes of silver dollars and a few gold, Hu Biao still felt quite satisfied. Even if this business is actually a loss-making business.

Seeing that Hu Biao directly asked people to cover the box, Mr. Zhu was also very surprised: "Captain Hu, don't you want to order it?" ”

"General Zhu, I believe in the credibility of your army. With so many silver dollars, it is also troublesome to count. The rest of the money can be paid back in the next transaction. In addition, I would like to ask more, has your army considered developing in southeast Shandong? ”

Facing Hu Biao's inquiry, Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "What is Captain Hu's opinion?" ”

"Don't be a good idea! I just feel that with the current strength of your army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get real development if you continue to stay in the southwest of Shanxi. I heard that Chief Yan has the name of Yan Laokou, and you have been in the southwest of Jin for a long time, I am afraid that he will be worried.

On the way to southwest Shanxi earlier, I took a turn around the southeastern part of Shanxi and found that although the enemy situation there was complicated, it was still suitable for developing an armed base area behind enemy lines. And my next step should be to set up a base in the East China Sea in the territory of Su Province.

If your army has plans to develop over there, then it may be more convenient for us to trade privately in the future. In addition, with all due respect, you should be more careful with your troops in the south. ”

"Captain Hu refers to the New Fourth Army?"

"Not bad! I don't know how much you know about my situation, but I will probably be in the province for most of the future. Although I am a colonel of the national army, I, as a colonel, are basically used as decorations.

There are some things that I can't get involved in directly, but I also don't want to see the situation of the joint war of resistance being broken. But as you all know, there are some things that others will let their guard down if you don't want to. Beware is not a bad thing after all. ”

"Thank you Captain Hu for the reminder! I'll report this matter to Yan'an! ”

"General Zhu, you already know my radio station. In the future, if there is anything I can help in Sioux Province, you can also send me a telegram. I'll try my best to help if I can, and if I can't help, please forgive me! ”

Although there is still a long time before the incident in southern Anhui, Hu Biao really doesn't want this kind of thing to happen. Next, the Snow Shame Battalion developed mainly in the territory of the Soviet Province, and sooner or later it would also deal with the guerrillas behind enemy lines of the New Fourth Army.

If there is any conflict, it will be very troublesome. Now let the Eighth Route Army say hello to the New Fourth Army in advance, and it can also avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. can cooperate privately, and Hu Biao will also be cautious.

If the military commander knew that he was on the side of the Eighth Route Army, he was afraid that the current cooperation might be suspended. In this case, Hu Biao can only choose neutrality. Regardless of which side he leans, it is not a good thing for Hu Biao.

Even through this trip to the north, Hu Biao felt that strength is sometimes really important. Although he has thousands of troops under his command, whether it is the Japanese army or other anti-Japanese war forces, they are weak and weak, and they have no right to speak and autonomy at all!
