The Duan family is in Cangshui, and they have been a famous family for many years.

For many years, on the boundary of Cangshui, the Duan family's words are often more effective than the government.

Seven or eight years ago, the Duan family convened the landlords of the county and took the lead in forming the self-defense force, and after Duan Changdong took over the captain, the strength of the Duan family not only did not show signs of decay because of the war shortage over the years, but also consolidated its position in Cangshui.

A few months ago, the Japanese army passed by here, and many ordinary people thought that the Duan family would definitely be unlucky this time!

Who knows that even the Japanese are courteous to the Duan family, although they loot in the county, as long as it is the Duan family's things, the Japanese are autumn and do not say anything, and even Japanese officers condescend to visit Duan Jinyu, the master of the Duan family!

Although I don't know what the Japanese army said to the Duan family, this still fueled the prestige of the Duan family to a large extent!

Even if the Japanese have long since left, the Duan family is becoming more and more invincible in this Cangshui County, and they are increasingly oppressing the villagers, and the people are miserable, but they dare not speak out, and they dream that someone will come to clean up the Duan family!

Therefore, after hearing that there were eight roads coming, I don't know how many ordinary people rushed over, wanting to witness the unfortunate luck of the Duan family.

And Duan Changdong, as soon as he heard someone report that there were more than 100 people in Balu who had entered his territory with a large amount of baggage, he also ordered all his troops and horses to rush over......

Who knew that before it was close, Zhang Ran ordered a posture of a bloody battle, and immediately scared the landlord arms of more than 200 people into crying wolf......

Don't look at the two or three hundred people and two or three hundred guns of the Cangshui Self-Defense Force, which is usually majestic and invincible, but the composition of the team is mostly local ruffians.

These guys, it's okay to scare and scare the merchants and ordinary people on weekdays, but against regular troops like Zhang Ran and others who have just come down from the battlefield, can they not show their cowardice?

"A bunch of embarrassing goods, what's there to be afraid of?"

I wanted to give Zhang Ran and the others a dismount, but I didn't expect Zhang Ran and the others to give themselves a dismount, looking at the muzzles of those black holes, Duan Changdong himself was also frightened, but he had to endure the panic and roar to everyone and say boldly: "There are so many of us, I'm afraid that they will be eggs - what's wrong with the eight roads, why don't we fight less?" Didn't you beat them up like wild dogs and scurry around with their tails between them? Don't panic for Lao Tzu, stabilize ......"

What he said about fighting the eight roads is still less, but it is also true!

Before the united front was formed, Duan Changdong led the Self-Defense Forces to cooperate with the Chairman of the National People's Congress to encircle and intercept the troops that were still called the Red Army at that time.

Deputy captain Dong Jinhu said in a low voice: "That was before, now the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating to unify and resist Japan, if we fight with the Eighth Road, there will be no one to help us - captain, I think, we can not provoke these Eight Roads, or try not to provoke it......"

"Who wants to provoke them? Didn't you see that it was these Tu Balu who took the initiative to provoke us? ”

Duan Changdong said with an expression that was neither stupid nor stupid: "Now those poor ghosts are watching from the sidelines-if we don't do anything again, who else in this county is afraid of us?" Not to mention that if this group of dirt and eight roads think that we are easy to bully, what should we do if we develop a team in Cangshui? Once they develop, do you think this warehouse will still have a foothold for us? ”

"What do you think, Captain, what should we do?" Dong Jinhu asked.

"Rack up our machine guns!"

Duan Changdong gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, there are few people in this group of Tubalu, and the equipment doesn't look good, of course it's best not to fight, but if they don't know each other, they can only fight with them......"

The two light machine guns were immediately lifted up, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at Zhang Ran and the others.

Machine gun......

As soon as they saw the machine gun, all the fighters of the Jindong detachment immediately felt a sudden burst in their hearts!

Fighting with Miura and others that night, the scene of those Japanese machine guns strafing and bullets shooting like splashing water, now thinking about it, everyone still can't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and their faces turn pale!

"Aren't they just two machine guns? What is there to be afraid of - hold it all for me! ”

Wang Laogui gave a loud order: "Platoon Commander Wang, you will hold on to the spot with the reserve platoon later, protect the people and supplies while containing the enemy's firepower, Platoon Commander Shi, you and Deputy Company Commander Kang each take two squads, detour on both sides, and kill the machine gun array first......

Kang Ting, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, didn't pay attention to this small scene at all at this moment, and lazily played the bullet while still being in the mood to tease Zhang Ran: "Captain, what do you say you guys are messing with?" The landlords of a county have two light machine guns, what does our detachment have? Not even a fart......"

"Old crutch, Kang Ting, don't act rashly first!"

Zhang Ran roared, staring at the Cangshui Self-Defense Force on the opposite side, and said in his heart, you bastards, you bullied our Jindong detachment with two machine guns, right? You are waiting for Lao Tzu, we don't turn around!

If it weren't for the opponent's machine gun, he would have probably ordered the fight a long time ago, and he wouldn't have talked nonsense with the other party at all!

On the one hand, this is to use the Cangshui Self-Defense Force to practice and consolidate what the team has learned on the battlefield this time, and on the other hand, it is naturally because of the Longwanggou Coal Mine.

What's more, the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly!

But if the other side has two machine guns, it won't work!

Once the fight starts, the casualties of the detachment will definitely not be small, and he will not do such a thing as killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 self-inflicted losses!

Therefore, Zhang Ran stopped Wang Lao from transferring troops and said: "Don't stimulate these guys first, if you can solve it peacefully, solve it peacefully, as long as we don't act rashly, I'm sure that the guys on the other side will never dare to provoke trouble easily......"

Like the previous landlords such as Ma Chengbang, the Cangshui Self-Defense Force on the opposite side can not be afraid of their current people, but as long as the other party is not an idiot, it is impossible not to think about the consequences!

"Captain, these guys are so blatantly blocking us, if we don't teach them a lesson, spread the word, people will say that our Jindong detachment is afraid of a group of landlords......"

Without Kang Ting opening his mouth, Wang Laogui and others first raised objections.

"Less nonsense, listen to me - it's better to lose face than to lose your life!"

Zhang Ran snorted, and said in his heart that this group of fools didn't even understand the truth that if they didn't have good strength, they would have to develop obscenely, and they had been messing with Lao Tzu for so long!

Stabilizing these subordinates, Zhang Ran put away his gun and walked out of the improvised position, took two steps forward and shouted: "I am Zhang Ran, the head of the Jindong Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, is it a brother of the Cangshui Self-Defense Force?" ”

"Who is a brother to you Tubalu!"

Duan Changdong snorted coldly, and also stood up and came: "I'm Duan Changdong, the captain of the Self-Defense Forces—I don't know if Captain Zhang, you are not good to stay in your Dongjiang County, and you ran into our Cangshui County with so many people without saying hello, what are you trying to do?" ”

"I went out to get a batch of supplies, and I wanted to go back to our Dongjiang base through Guixian, but I forgot to say hello to Captain Duan in a hurry, I really took the liberty of it, and I hope Captain Duan will understand!" Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"I see......"

Duan Changdong looked at the news from afar and came to see the excitement, and when he saw that it was a group of people from the Eighth Route Army, his eyes lit up, hehe, he laughed fiercely, and said in his heart, you poor ghosts, think that the Eighth Route is coming, and someone will support you, right?

Dream on, with me Duan Changdong here, don't think about turning the sky upside down!

Thinking of this, Duan Changdong also walked out of the position in two steps, stared at Zhang Ran and sneered: "Since it is you Captain Zhang who wants to borrow the way, of course it is impossible for me Duan Changdong to stop it, but the state has national laws, and the family has family rules, and we have Cangshui, so there are also rules for Cangshui - as long as you, Captain Zhang, pay the tolls that should be paid, then our Cangshui Self-Defense Force promises not to trouble you......"

"Bastard, do you think this storage of water belongs to your family? Do you still want to collect tolls when we cross the road? ”

Hearing this, many soldiers were furious and roared: "Captain, don't talk nonsense with this surnamed Duan, you want to collect our tolls, but there is no door - it's a big deal to do it with them!"

Duan Changdong sneered again and again, didn't look at those soldiers, just stared at Zhang Ran and said: "Captain Zhang, you can think clearly, either you bypass our Cangshui, if you want to pass through my Cangshui, you have to pay the toll—if you really want to fight, our Cangshui Self-Defense Force will definitely accompany you to the end!" ”

The ordinary people in the distance stared at Zhang Ran and the others, full of anticipation.

Although they didn't know about Zhang Ran's establishment of the Jindong Detachment in Dongjiang County, they didn't listen to the propaganda of the Eighth Route Army fighting local tyrants to divide the land and let the people turn over and be the masters of their own affairs!

Although there are fewer people in front of them, it may not be so fast to let them directly change the sun and moon in Cangshui County.

But if these Eighth Route Army can teach the Self-Defense Forces headed by Duan Changdong a hard lesson and ruin their prestige, then everyone's life will definitely be much better!

Now, Changdong dares to ask for tolls after a road section, and the people feel that if these eight roads are a little bloody, they will definitely not be able to bear it!

It's just that the truth is often unexpected!

Zhang Ran waved his hand to stop the soldiers from scolding, and asked Duan Changdong with a smile: "Then I don't know how much toll we should pay if we want to borrow your cangshui?" ”

"Not much, five hundred oceans!"

Duan Changdong seemed to be afraid that no one would hear him, and said loudly.

"Five hundred oceans, why don't you go and rob ......?"

Hearing this, the men and horses of the detachment were all angry and scolded one after another.

Zhang Ran waved his hand, stopped the scolding of the soldiers, and sneered: "Captain Duan, the guy who dares to follow the toll of our Eighth Route Army, your Cangshui Self-Defense Force is still the first, and it is so much as five hundred oceans at once-are you sure you think clearly?" ”
