Chapter Seventy-Six: The Lake Shakes the Bandits
It is said that when the monkey heard that Zhang Zhongning was unyielding and heroic, he suddenly burst into laughter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info smiled and smiled, tears welled up in his eyes.
He hugged Lao Li and said, "Brother Li, Zhang Zhong is not a soft egg!" ā
He let go of Lao Li and said to Zhiyuan, to Zhuqing, and to everyone in the room: "My apprentice, no, Brother Zhang Zhong, he is not a coward, he is a hero!" Anti-Japanese men should die standing up! ā
With that, he ran out.
By the time they found the monkey in the grove at the edge of the village, he had calmed down.
Lao Li said, "Brother Monkey, let's go back." There are also new directives from the Northwest Agency. ā
The monkey nodded and returned to the village with everyone. The team member conveyed: "The leaders of the Administration instructed Lao Li, Captain Fang and Zhu Qing to report to the Administration and participate in the short-term training. Recently captured in battle, except for the detachment's own use, it was handed over to the public. ā
The monkey said, "Obey the leader's arrangement." When are we leaving? ā
Lao Li said: "Prepare and leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Now let's study the arrangement of the work of the detachment after we are gone. ā
After discussion, it was decided as follows: after the monkey left, the team leader worked on behalf of the detachment leader Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhong died, and Zhang Liang served as the team leader. During Wang Dabiao's recuperation, the team leader was represented by Wang Erhu. Tiliuqi is the deputy captain of the Xianghu detachment and the leader of the first squad. Feng Xiaocui is the leader of the logistics team.
Lao Li said to Zhiyuan: "In the Hudong area of Shucheng County, the anti-Japanese work is also relatively active. The establishment of the Hudong detachment can be considered, and Zhiyuan should pay more attention to this aspect. ā
Zhiyuan said: "Got it. ā
Next, it is to mourn for Zhang Zhong. Zhang Zhong's body was nowhere to be found, so he had to bury the clothes and other things left by Zhang Zhong into the coffin and bury them in Zhong Hong's tomb, and set up a monument: the tomb of Zhang Zhong, the anti-Japanese hero. A mourning hall is set up in the village for the team members and villagers to worship.
On the day of the burial, the Xianghu detachment, all the villagers of Wangjiawan, as well as Zhang Zhong's family and most of the villagers of Zhangfang Village came to participate. The funeral procession stretched for a mile or two.
It's late autumn, the autumn wind is whisking, the white flags are shaking, the clouds are thick, the light rain is dripping, and the world is sad!
It's all done. Lao Li and the monkey Zhuqing arranged to go on the road.
The Xianghu detachment captured many battles, two machine guns, a war horse, and in addition to its own equipment, there were more than 100 rifles and ammunition grenades. They were all loaded on a light carriage converted from a fake Zhang Zhong's prisoner car.
Setting off on the starry night, Liu Qi's team escorted thirty miles out and came to Shuoxiang Lake.
Shucheng geographical chronicle, Shuoxiang Lake east and west forty miles, north and south eighty miles, the north end and the Qingyi Sang Xu two lakes as a whole, and to the northwest stretching for dozens of miles. After flooding and silting, the lake retreated, leaving thousands of hectares of wetlands in Shucheng County, called Xianghudang.
The water network in Xianghu is staggered, and the reeds are dense. As soon as the Republic of China came, the world was in chaos, and Xianghudang hid dirt and dirt and became a nest of thieves. The government has repeatedly purged to no avail. The Japanese devils are coming. Sweep many times, recruit rebels, but all in vain.
Running in the middle of the night, I came to Xianghudang, and the sun had risen from the reeds. The geese are calling in the sky, the salt and frost are everywhere, the autumn wind is bleak, and the reed leaves are rustling.
On the edge of the lake, the reeds are thick, and the carriage walks on the path, bumping and bumping. Lao Li said to the monkey: "Tell everyone to pay attention, this is a bandit's nest, don't panic if you encounter it." ā
The monkey said to Liu Qi, "Tell everyone to pay attention." ā
As he was talking, someone in front of him shouted: "Stop! Which horse? ā
More than a dozen men suddenly appeared on the side of the road in front of them, aiming their guns at this side.
Lao Li said: "I'm afraid that ghosts have ghosts, but this is really happening." ā
The monkey said, "Stop." Be ready for battle. The team stopped, and the monkey said to Lao Li, "I'll deal with it,"
The monkey remembered that when he was a child, Lao Qi told him some stories about bandits, and there was also some knowledge about bandits. He stepped forward and replied loudly: "When you go out, the four seas are your home." We are members of the eight branches of the family. ā
"A total of eight branches? Haven't you heard of such a horse? The men talked to each other: "New? ā
In those years, a new group of bandits appeared on the rivers and lakes, which was also a common thing.
The monkey said, "Which horse are you?" ā
Someone on the other side replied: "We are the horses of the Daye Mulberry family." ā
That is to say, the bandit leader is surnamed Sang, and the mulberry leaves are broad, so he takes Daye as the name of the gang.
When two bandits meet, they often report their names to each other in this way, and if there is no grudge between the two, they will go their own way and be safe with each other. I also saw that the other party's strength was small, and there was a big fish eating small fish. But that often has serious consequences.
The bandits are mainly seeking money. After all, a rush is a death story. In peaceful years, most of these were ordinary peasants. In troubled times, some people's land was seized and bankrupt, some people's wives and children were deceived and had nowhere to redress their grievances.
Of course, there are also second-rate people who are lazy and lazy, and who are unwilling to work to earn food and become thieves.
The monkey said, "Come out and speak." ā
They said, "If you have something to say to us, you can do it." Then leave the stuff behind and walk. ā
The monkey shouted, "Presumptuous! How broad are your shoulders to be in charge of the house? ā
Suddenly, I saw the crowd on the opposite side parting to both sides, and one person walked out of the middle, with separate heads, long shirts, thin faces, and gentle eyes. The monkey was stunned in his heart, this is not like a bandit leader, but like a private school teacher who teaches.
The man stepped forward and saluted with a fist: "Be polite in Xia Sanglong!" ā
The monkey clenched his fists and said, "Return the salute!" ā
Sang Lang said: "In the lower blockage, listening to this brother report that he is famous, I really can't remember which brother came to our place. ā
The monkey laughed: "Our leader is far away in northern Shaanxi. We're just a small branch, so it's no wonder that the Sang Da boss hasn't heard of it. We apologize for disturbing you early this morning. We have to take care of ourselves, and please make it convenient to take a trip by road. ā
Sang Lang said: "Dare to ask respect? ā
The monkey said: "Under the surname Fang, Fang Zhihou, my friends call me Monkey." ā
"Huh? Are you a monkey? Sang Lang seemed taken aback: "You are the monkey who beat the Japanese devils to the horrors?" ā
The monkey said loudly: "The Japanese invaded my land, killed my brothers, and raped my sisters. It's just a little bit of a duty. ā
Sang Lang couldn't help but look at the monkey, the monkey's name is like spring thunder, I can see it today, as rumored, just a thin big boy. sighed in his heart: Since ancient times, heroes have come out of teenagers!
Sang Lang said: "Brothers resist Japan and achieve heroic names, which is really admired." Please take a bow. "Say it and give it a deep salute.
The monkey hurriedly returned the salute.
Suddenly, one of the other party walked out of the crowd: "Master, he said it's a monkey, who knows if it's true or not?" ā
"The fourth is bold!" Sang Lang shouted: "Stand down!" ā
The monkey smiled: "I don't know how to convince this big brother that it is the monkey himself?" ā
The one called the fourth said: "Unless this young master and I have a few tricks, I will be convinced." ā
Sang Lang's words changed: "Nonsense! That doesn't delay the brother's journey? The implication is that I also want to see the monkey's ability.
The monkey laughed and waved his hand again and again: "I can't help it, I can't help it, you and my brother will tear and beat each other as soon as we meet, isn't it a joke if the Japanese know it?" ā
Sang Lang said, "What should I do with you?" ā
The monkey said, "Why don't you stand here and let this brother shoot three times?" ā
Sang Lang was taken aback. Lao Li and Liu Qi's team were also taken aback.
