Wu Dan's face flushed and said with a wry smile: I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Wu was defeated after all, and he was almost caught by the devil, but I don't know why Brother Hu came to me, is there something wrong? Hu Qichao said solemnly: I can't hide it, I am the guard team of the Wolf Tooth Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Wu, you wash your face first, our battalion commander and instructor are about to arrive.

Wu Dan was shocked and said: What, you, you are a member of the Wolf Tooth Independent Battalion, you, what is your battalion commander going to do with me?

Hu Qichao smiled and said: I don't know, you still have to wait for our battalion commander to come. Wu Dan said lightly: Yes, I also want to meet the legendary Wu of your army, but I didn't expect to come over in person this time, which makes me really excited.

Hu Qichao said in surprise for a while: Yes, I don't think you are excited at all.

Li Luan whispered beside him: Brother Wu, Camp Commander Zhao is a famous wolf tooth, and the Japanese are very scared, Brother Wu, you didn't have a reason to be so calm.

Wu Dan smiled faintly and said: Battalion Commander Zhao is indeed a general, but with your wolf tooth battalion people, you can't hold this Wukou Town at all, just like I thought I could hold Wukou Town back then, the firepower of the Japanese army is extremely strong, with your firepower, there is a dead end, even if you defend it, you will pay a great price, I don't know what Brother Hu thinks.

Hu Qichao smiled and said: It's useless for you to tell me this, you should talk to our battalion commander.

Wu Dan said lightly: I'm afraid, Battalion Commander Zhao can't listen to it, thinking that the world is invincible, once the army is approaching, he will flee in a hurry, just like Yan Xishan and the like.

Hu Qichao's face suddenly became ugly and said; Then you are wrong, our battalion commander will never let go of Wukou Town, even if he wants to retreat, he must transfer the people first.

Wu Dan's eyes showed a hint of differentness and said: Seriously, I'm afraid, it's difficult, the villagers of Wukou Town have settled here for hundreds of years, and they miss this land very much, and they will never leave. Wu Dan said and sighed softly.

Hu Qichao was silent for a while, and then suddenly heard a clear voice coming: Xiao Hu, you little bastard, why did you smash people's doors.

Hu Qichao exclaimed: The battalion commander is here. Wu Dan was slightly stunned and said: Your battalion commander is here?

Just as Wu Dan was talking, he heard a sound of footsteps, but saw three men and one woman walking in front of him, led by a handsome man with a little messy hair, with a smile on the corner of his mouth looking extremely easy-going, without the slightest momentum of an officer, on the contrary, it seemed a little casual, and the beautiful woman next to him made Wu Dan a little distracted, and said secretly: What a beautiful girl, it seems that she should be the instructor Nie Ying that those guys said, it is better to meet.

Wu Dan hurriedly wiped the blood stains on his mouth and walked up and said: "When the distinguished guest comes, I, Wu Dan, am rude."

Wu Dan couldn't help but glance at Nie Ying as he spoke, but instead ignored Zhao Jie in front of him, Nie Ying couldn't help frowning when he saw Wu Dan's expression and said:

Mr. Wu, you don't have to be polite, let me introduce myself first, my name is Nie Ying, the current instructor of the Eighth Route Army's Wolf Tooth Independent Battalion, this is Zhao Jie, the commander of our Wolf Tooth Independent Battalion, well, what's going on with your face, you were injured. Nie Ying soon saw that there was a little blood in the corners of Wu Dan's eyes and a little lump on his face.

Wu Dan smiled bitterly and said: Let you see the smile, it's just some personal things, Chief Nie is laughing.

Hu Qichao listened to Zhao Jie and whispered a few words, and Zhao Jie said lightly: I know. Zhao Jie smiled and said: Some things can be big or small, Mr. Wu has made a lot of contributions to the Japanese invasion, and almost lost his life, he is really a patriot, Zhao is very admired, but today I came to Mr. Wu to ask Mr. Wu some things

。 First, why did Mr. Wu refuse to be the mayor of Wukou Town, is it dissatisfied with our Eighth Route Army, or is there another reason, second, I want to know the attitude of those merchants in Wukou Town, Wu Dan was slightly stunned and said: This, well, I told this little nonsense before, I refused this mayor, I just don't want to see the last situation happen again, in other words, I doubt that your troops can hold Wukou Town, when Yan Xishan left Taiyuan and ran away like this, not even a single army left, As a result, thousands of people in Taiyuan were slaughtered by devils, many people in towns and villages were slaughtered, nearly half of the families were wiped out, even my Wukou Town was not spared, and hundreds of people were slaughtered by devils, as the head of a town, I am really ashamed of those villagers who died in vain, I want to ask when the devils called, where is the national government, where is the army, I want to ask Battalion Commander Zhao, what will you do.

Li Luan said softly to Zhao Jie: Battalion Chief Zhao, Brother Dan has always been worried about this matter, he saw those people being killed with his own eyes, but no one could do anything, so he refused to serve as the mayor of the town, don't blame him.

Zhao Jie looked at Li Luan slightly stunned and said: Who is this young lady?

Li Luan's face was slightly red and said: My father's name is Li Dafu, he is a local merchant, and he has also collided with the instructor before. Zhao Jie smiled lightly and said: There is this kind of thing, it's okay, it's okay, I think Ling Zun should have other ideas.

Nie Ying snorted lightly and said: It turns out that you are Li Dafu's daughter, I don't plan to settle accounts with your father today, and you don't have to plead with your father.

What he did, he naturally knew in his heart. Li Luan was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice: I, I, I'm still very sorry, I just want to say that my father is also involuntarily born and speechless.

Zhao Jie smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: Okay, we are not here to discuss this matter this time, Mr. Wu, according to what you said, you think that we can't hold Wukou Town, and we can't protect the people of Wukou Town, right, then I can reply to you, I, Zhao Jie, will do my best to hold Wukou Town, and will never leave the people of Wukou Town to retreat first, even if we want to retreat, let the people retreat in advance.

Wu Dan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said: Then according to your statement, you don't plan to stay in Wukou Town for a long time?

Zhao Jie smiled slightly and said: This is how to fight, you advance and I retreat, our strategic goal is to consume the living forces of the Japanese army, as well as his strategic materials, this is the subtlety of guerrilla warfare. Wu Dan suddenly laughed and said: What a guerrilla war, it seems that Battalion Commander Zhao liberated Wukou Town this time, not by luck, but by planning, your ultimate goal should be Xikou County, most of the iron ore in Taiyuan City comes from Xikou County, once Xikou County is obtained, this will also give a heavy blow to the devil, but Xikou County is heavily guarded, there is a wing to guard, and the security regiment assists, the number of nearly 5,000 people, and it is also equipped with heavy artillery troops, Battalion Commander Zhao, you are so bold, you actually want to capture Xikou County, This is a very difficult point to capture, and even if you capture it, the casualties are not small.

Zhao Jie laughed and said: You can't completely use the number of people to decide the outcome of a war, although our Wolf Tooth Independent Battalion has few people, but its combat effectiveness is by no means inferior to a brigade of devils, then I ask you, if you are Yan Xishan, can his troops defeat a squadron of devils, is it an army or a brigade. Wu Dan was stunned for a moment and said secretly: That's right, in the battle of Taiyuan, there was a big difference between the casualties of the enemy and us, and a brigade of Yan Xishan's faction may not be able to defeat a squadron of devils, indeed, relying on numbers and equipment is not the real factor that determines victory, in the final analysis, it is still a series of factors.

Wu Dan thought of this and said solemnly: What Battalion Commander Zhao said is very true, Wu Dan has been taught, I have heard of your army's heroic fighting, and I heard that your army has a wolf-tooth independent brigade is even more amazing, they are all heroes with one enemy and one hundred, and I don't know what to do.

Zhao Jie laughed when he heard it and said: This is a bit exaggerated, there is such a powerful place, at most it can only be ten in one grade. Wu Dan was shocked for a while and said secretly: It is extremely rare for the elite troops of the national army to block ten with one block, and this Zhao battalion commander's requirements are inevitably too strict.

Wu Dan thought of this and sighed lightly; What the battalion commander said earlier, I, U Thant, have taken it to heart, and U Thant will think about this matter carefully. Zhao Jie was overjoyed when he heard this: So Mayor Wu has agreed to take up the position of mayor? Wu Dan said solemnly: No, I just said that I still have to think about it, not to agree, after all, the affairs of Wukou Town still have to be discussed with a few merchants.

Nie Ying looked at Zhao Jie and said with a faint smile; Mr. Wu is indeed very thoughtful, but we are here to understand the situation of the merchants here. Nie Ying said and glanced at Li Luan on the side. Li Luan's heart jumped and said secretly: What are they asking for? Who is Wu Dan, he immediately understood the intentions of Zhao Jie and Nie Ying, and said in a low voice: There are many merchants in Wukou Town, and I suggest that it is most important to stabilize the current situation

。 Zhao Jie and Nie Ying glanced at each other, and Zhao Jie said softly: Mr. Wu might as well speak bluntly.

Wu Dan coughed lightly and said: Wukou Town is the richest in the Li family and the Jia family, their clan has been selling herbs for a living since the Ming and Qing dynasties, it can be said that they monopolize one-third of Taiyuan's business, and can even control the price of medicine in Taiyuan.

If it is solved in a more amiable way, it is the best choice. Zhao Jie was slightly stunned when he heard this, and suddenly laughed: It turns out that Mr. thought they were going to pay off their property. Wu Dan said softly: Your Eighth Route Army is not particular about fighting local tyrants and relieving the people. Nie Ying said solemnly: That is a thing of the past, and now that the enemy is present, we hope that these merchants will support us in resisting Japan at this time.

Wu Dan was slightly shocked in his heart and said: I see, don't worry, I will talk to these merchants about this matter, and I hope that this matter can be resolved satisfactorily. Zhao Jie and Nie Ying said with joy in their hearts: Thank you so much Mr. Wu.

plum

Luan bit his lip and said in a low voice: I'm afraid that Brother Dan has no way to solve this matter.

Zhao Jie was slightly stunned and said: Oh, why did Mr. Wu say that.

Wu Dan said solemnly: Battalion Commander Zhao, you don't have to worry about this, although I have a little to do with the Li family, I have the confidence to let the Li family and the Jia family support your Eighth Route Army. Nie Yingxiu frowned slightly and said: What the hell is going on, Mr. Wu! Li Luan choked up for a moment and said; Don't embarrass Brother Dan, don't hide it, just now your people beat my fiancé who married the young master of the Jia family, that is, the Jia family you are talking about, my father has always opposed me and Brother Dan's relationship, if there is Brother Dan to negotiate, it will make things more complicated, I am afraid that Brother Dan has been beaten to death by the Jia family before he has negotiated. Hu Qichao on the side said in a low voice: Battalion commander, the gang was very arrogant just now and almost beat Mr. Wu to death.

Zhao Jie frowned and said; Well, I know, it seems that this Jia family is not a good product, hehe.

Zhao Jie said hehe sneered twice, although he didn't know much about the situation of the Jia family, but judging from the on-site fight, he was obviously unreasonable. Nie Ying said softly: What do you want to do? Don't mess around. Although Nie Ying and Zhao Jie have not been for a long time, Zhao Jie has always sneered twice when he is angry, which is obviously a prelude to anger.

Wu Dan also found that Zhao Jie's face was not good, and hurriedly said: No, no, although the people of the Jia family beat me, it was also me who provoked Xiaoluan first, although I and Xiaoluan treated each other politely, but outsiders may not believe it, and asked Camp Chief Zhao to be cautious.

Suddenly, I heard a shout coming: Here, surround me here, damn, dare to beat my son-in-law, I just don't want to live.

Hu Qichao walked over quickly, then hurriedly ran over and said: Battalion commander, there are a lot of people outside, as many as a few hundred.

Zhao Jie was surprised and said: There are so many people, hehe, this is very interesting, go, go out and have a look.

Wu Thant said busily; Everything starts with me, Camp Commander Zhao, or let me go, this matter starts with me.

Zhao Jie smiled and said: It's okay, it's okay, you can take it with peace of mind, Nie Ying, let's go out and have a look.

Nie Ying hummed lightly, and then heard a sound of footsteps, and a large number of strong men wearing black-clothed cannons suddenly appeared in front of him, there were more than 100 people, and they surrounded everyone at once, led by a big man with a scumbag on his face and a black bean on his mouth, his triangular eyes glared at Zhao Jie and others and shouted:

Who injured my young master just now, stand up for Lao Tzu, otherwise, you don't want to let Lao Tzu out of here.

Hu Qichao smiled and said: I beat it, how about it, you want to bully more and less. The scum man's triangular eyes glared at Hu Qichao and smiled: What's the matter, Lao Tzu will abolish you, dare to beat my young master, come here, abolish him!

Zhao Jie said lazily: Xiaohu, don't embarrass Lao Tzu, otherwise, I will let you go back to farming.

Hu Qichao smiled and said: Yes! Wu Dan was a little reluctant in his heart and said: Battalion Commander Zhao, this matter started because of me, so let me deal with it. Zhao Jie shook his head slightly and smiled and said: Don't worry about this matter, since these people are so unreasonable, then we have to play with him, don't worry, Xiaohu is my subordinate, this scene can be dealt with. Although the guard company is weaker than the wolf's tooth special warfare battle, the general combat power is stronger than that of ordinary companies, although the number is small, but they are all relatively good, more than a dozen men rushed towards Hu Qichao with the iron rod in their hands under the shouting of the man with a scumbag on his face,
