Chapter 10: Victory in the First Battle

Although Xiao Mazi was holding a gun and the bullets were loaded, his whole body was still trembling like sifting chaff.

Ma Youtian and those family members are even more earthy.

They were afraid, not only because Zhang Ran was holding a gun in his hand, but because of the eight-way military uniform, as well as the rank of the captain of the Jindong detachment!

What's more, because in the circle of the landlord and the old wealth, the description of the Eight Roads to fight the local tyrants and divide the land is comparable to the devil slaughtering the village, the demon king is in the world, and he can directly drink on the hearts and livers of the big living people when he puts on a mask-how can they not be afraid?

Compared with the fear of Ma Youtian, Xiao Mazi and others, Zhang Ran stood there, coupled with his much taller figure than the people of this era, he definitely deserves many adjectives such as majestic and majestic, gods descending to earth, etc.

Behind Zhang Ran's majestic face, the vest was already wet.

This is the second time he has shot in addition to military training, and the gun held by Xiao Mazi on the opposite side is still loaded, if he can't bluff the other party, then he may be in danger today!

But seeing the expressions of Ma Youtian, Xiao Mazi and others, Zhang Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that it was the land reform movement of the Eighth Route Army of the Red Army against the landlords and old wealth in recent years, which had a great deterrent to the landlords and old wealth!

Of course, maybe he made a temporary decision and crowned himself with the official title of the head of the Eastern Detachment - how many ordinary people in these years are not afraid of officials?

And an officer with a bunch of soldiers with guns in his hands!

In short, in any case, Zhang Ran, who has been carrying out poverty alleviation work and knows the psychology of the people well, knows that he is now a victory in the first battle and is invincible!

Just seeing the gun in Xiao Mazi's hand, he was slightly stunned.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ran pretended to be calm and took a step, staring at Xiao Mazi with a knife-like gaze, and said coldly: "You, the eagle dog of the landlord and the old wealth, actually dare to hold a gun at the captain of this detachment - do you still want to shoot at the captain of this team and make enemies of our eight road army?" ”

"No, no, no, no ......"

Hearing this, Xiao Mazi only screamed in fright, and threw the old rifle on the ground, like a hot hand.

Thinking that the legendary Eighth Route Army caught the landlord Lao Cai and their doglegs, and either buried them alive or dragged them out to shoot targets, and now he actually pointed a gun at the captain of the detachment, so he had to be executed at Ling Chi?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mazi was directly frightened, and said with tears and snot: "Eighth master, I'm not an eagle dog, we just eat together, I don't want to bully the villagers......"

The rest of the family members also echoed one after another, saying that they were just eating with a mouth, and they were actually poor people in essence.

"Phew, you're a poor people!"

Wang Changtian immediately jumped out, and pointed at Xiao Mazi and the others with a tragic look that I was going to risk death to report and expose, and said to Zhang Ran: "These guys, relying on the support of the big landlord Youma Chengbang, are doing evil everywhere and oppressing the good - I know it all clearly!" ”

"Xiao Mazi, you just said that you were going to break Lao Tzu's other leg, did you forget ......it?"

"Captain Zhang, they also said that if I don't pay the rent, I will sell my mother-in-law to the kiln......"

Wang Laogui, Wang Kai and other villagers fell into the well one after another, counting the crimes of Xiao Mazi and others!

"Eighth master, we are really just eating together......"

Xiao Mazi and the others wanted to cry without tears, their eyes looked at Ma Youtian, who shrunk his head and wanted to run, and suddenly screamed: "Ma Youtian is the nephew of Master Ma, everything he asked us to do, there is a debtor and a master - Eighth Master, don't run away for him!" ”

"The surname is Ma, you want to run at this time? There are no doors! ”

Wang Laogui, Wang Kai and other villagers were furious when they heard this, and chased after them screaming.

Although Wang Laogui was limping, he ran fast, and what surprised Zhang Ran the most was Wang Changtian, who was old but took the lead, kicked Ma Youtian to the ground from behind, and then a group of people rushed up and pulled Ma Youtian back.

"You bastards, you actually betrayed Lao Tzu!"

Ma Youtian stared at Xiao Mazi and the others, gritted his teeth and said: "If Lao Tzu doesn't die today, go back and see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" ”

Xiao Mazi and the others pretended not to hear, and said in their hearts, let's think about how to leave this Yanggou Village first-one is not good, maybe we will correct the Fa on the spot for this Tubalu!

"Captain Zhang, I have captured this surnamed Ma back, tell me, what should I do with him?" Wang Changtian said with a smile on his face.

"Captain Zhang, this group of bastards can bully the villagers in ten miles and eight towns, you can't just spare them like this!"

The villagers shouted one after another, and some even mentioned lynching such as immersing pigs in pig cages and sinking into the river.

"Eighth master, spare your life......"

When Ma Youtian, Xiao Mazi and others heard these words, they were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, and fell to their knees with a pop, saying that they were running errands and doing things according to Ma Chengbang's instructions.

"Don't call me anything, our Eighth Route Army doesn't prosper feudal reactionary - call me Captain Zhang!"

Zhang Ran snorted coldly, his thoughts were spinning, and he was also thinking about how to deal with these guys, it was obviously impossible to kill them, although he conformed to the will of the people, but he would completely offend Ma Chengbang because of this, and even the surrounding landlords and old wealth, that was definitely not the result he wanted!

At this moment, a famous quote of a great man appeared in his head - why can the revolutionary team be indomitable and reborn again and again? That's because our revolutionary ranks will always try to unite all their forces and make more of their friends and less of their enemies......

Thinking of this, Zhang Ran only felt like the lost boat, saw the guiding light, and immediately had a plan in his heart!

"Folks, listen to me!"

Zhang Ran loudly asked the villagers to calm down, and then he spoke: "Although Ma Youtian, Xiao Mazi and others are indeed hateful, our Eighth Route Army has a policy, and will not beat people to death with a stick, as long as they can know their mistakes and change them, then they can still be saved......

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Hearing this, Ma Youtian, Xiao Mazi and others were amnesty, and promised again and again that they would reform themselves in the future and never help Ma Chengbang do those hurtful things.

"They're going to change itβ€”dogs can change it, and they eat?"

Wang Laogui and others scoffed at the words of Ma Youtian and others, but through this series of events, Zhang Ran had already established his prestige among the villagers, so everyone was at most slanderous, but they never dared to say it.

"Get it all up!"

Zhang Ran asked Ma Youtian Xiao Mazi and the others to get up, and said with a majestic face: "Since you have realized your mistakes, then this captain will give you a chance to reform yourself, I hope you can really do what you say and change your past, otherwise if it falls into the hands of our Eighth Route Army, you will never be spared!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ma Youtian and the others were overjoyed, and promised again and again, and then beckoned Li Dakou and other long-term workers to withdraw quickly with the rent collected from elsewhere, and Xiao Mazi even wanted to pick up the gun.

Zhang Ran snorted: "Put down the food and the gun!" ”

"Huh?"

As soon as they heard this, Ma Youtian and Xiao Mazi immediately cried: "Captain Zhang, if we don't bring these rents and guns back, the master will kill us......"

"These rents are evidence of the guilt of your neighbors, and this gun is a tool for you to oppress the people - you still want to take them? Is it really unrepentant and still wants to help Ma Chengbang in the fish and meat township? ”

Zhang Ran shouted violently, not only did he not allow Ma Youtian and the others to take away the food and guns, but even asked them to hand over the few bullets left on their bodies.

It's been five days since I came to this era, first I was hungry for two days, and then I drank porridge for a few days, and I was a fake Balu in itself, not to mention, and I only had one gun......

These grains, this old gun and bullets are simply a charcoal in the snow for him, how can he let Ma Youtian and the others take them away?

", hahaha!"

"In the future, I will often come to our Yanggou Village to play...... But don't even think about collecting rent! ”

Wang Kai, Wang Laogui and other villagers laughed at Ma Youtian and the others who ran away from the ashes, and then looked at the grain left by Li Dakou and other long-term workers, their eyes lit up, and their hearts said that with so much food, I am afraid of five or six hundred catties, right?

With that fiery gaze, Zhang Ran couldn't pretend not to see it, so he could only cough dryly and said: "Today, my Jindong Detachment of the Eighth Route Army won the first battle, thanks to the help of the villagers, I am going to have a meeting with the villagers later, there is just so much food, why don't you let Lu Yan cook some food, and then how about we talk while eating?" ”

"Okay, good, good......"

As soon as I heard that I could eat and drink for nothing, no one said anything bad, and many women even volunteered to help Lu Yan.

Unlike the villagers, who only have food in their eyes, Zhang Ran cares more about the rifle left by Xiao Mazi.

Zhang Ran doesn't know much about guns, but judging from the degree of wear and tear of this rifle, it should be some years, and he suspects that this is the legendary old sleeve, which is the gun made in the arsenal opened by the Westernization Movement back then, both in terms of appearance and practicality, it is far worse than the 38 rifle on his body than it was at that time - it is so different from Diao Chan and Sister Feng.

There are three bullets in total, plus the twenty-two rounds left after the 38 rifle fired one shot, there are a total of 25 bullets, but unfortunately the two guns are of different calibers and cannot be used at all.

But even so, Zhang Ran was extremely happy.

After all, from one gun to two guns, the firepower of the Jindong County detachment that he casually created has fully doubled!

Zhang Ran felt that it was time to start expanding the number of Jindong detachments, after all, he couldn't use two guns alone.

"Is there anyone in the village who knows how to shoot?" Zhang Ran asked.

"I've shot shotguns, I have them at home, and my leg was injured when I fell while hunting......"

Wang Lao patted his lame leg as if showing off, and then said that this kind of rifle really hasn't been fought before.

"Try it, everybody!"

Zhang Ran simply taught the villagers how to load, load and other knowledge, then handed over the old sleeve that had been withdrawn to the villagers to explore, and then observed on the side to see who was more savvy in playing with guns.

Wang Changtian came to Zhang Ran's side at this time, and said with a sneer but full of anxiety: "Captain Zhang, we robbed Master Ma's food and things today, I'm afraid that Master Ma won't give up...... What's next, Captain Zhang, what are you going to do? ”
