Chapter Seventy-Three

Zhu Zhanhua saw that it was Xu Fang who was back, and his spirit was even stronger, he stood on a high place, and said loudly to the group of people under him: "It's Camp Commander Xu and they are back, it seems that they didn't go down the mountain in vain today, and there are really a lot of people who came with them." Don't be stunned, let's wait and throw all the stones and clods of earth that can be moved onto the big tree on the roof. Da Zhang, you take people down into the pit, clean up the inside, and stay able to stay at night. The firing holes were made of stones, and the machine gun positions were arranged. ”

It didn't take long for Xu Fang and his party to come to the foot of the mountain.

As soon as he walked to the dark castle, Xu Fang couldn't help but be surprised: "This is the bunker?" Oh my God, if you don't look closely, you really won't find it. She asked, a little surprised, as it turned out to be a large pit, and a lid was attached to the cover of newly moved bushes, and a machine gun came out of the firing hole under the cover, right at the mountain pass.

"Boss, this is the bunker that Deputy Battalion Commander Zhu took us to build, to prevent little devil shells, come and see, there are two layers of big trees on it, this time, we are not afraid of anything." Da Zhang was the first to run out of the bunker and stepped forward to speak.

"Is it the idea that Deputy Battalion Commander Zhu came up with? It's safer to go down the hill this time, why didn't I think of it? Thank you so much, Camp Commander Zhu. Xu Fang said excitedly.

"The head of the house, but the people are from the Northeast Army, they are different from us, do you see it, there is another one on the other side, with these two dark bunkers, even if the little devil cannonball comes, it can't be penetrated. There is no need for much here, two machine guns are guarding here, and you want to go up the mountain? and daydream about it! Da Zhang said to Xu Fanglian.

"Let me go down and take a look, Da Zhang, the regular army is stronger than our dirt buns, now take it." At the beginning, Da Zhang heard that Zhu Zhanhua was the deputy battalion commander, and he was a little puzzled.

"Hehe, master, don't mention that stubble, haven't we seen the real chapter." Dazhang said with an embarrassed smile.

"Camp Commander Xu, you're back. What do you think of this bunker? Zhu Zhanhua had already come down from the roof of the bunker, looked at her and asked.

"Zhan Hua, you really have a way. With bunkers, it's safer on the hills. Xu Fang was so excited that he actually called the other party's name.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I've been in the army for a few more years, and with your cleverness, it won't take you more than a year to surpass me." Zhu Zhanhua said modestly.

"You're welcome, I've been on the mountain for so many years, passing by here every day, why didn't I think of this idea?" Xu Fangdong looked at it, touched it in the west, and the excitement had not passed.

"By the way, battalion commander, your harvest today is also good, bring back so many young men." Zhu Zhanhua glanced at these new faces standing in front of the underground fortress and said.

"Alas, don't stumble on me, after a long day's walk, in four villages, only twenty or so people have been recruited," she said with a look at him, a little embarrassed and discouraged.

"Hehe, it's the first time I've gone down the mountain, and it's good to be able to recruit so many. You don't have to rush, take your time. Zhu Zhanhua persuaded.

"It's that I'm thinking too simple, I'll tell you more about it when I'm on the mountain. Didn't you have dinner either, let's go, let's do it here today, and it's just time that we'll discuss recruitment. ”

"Okay, you bring someone up first, and I'll be there after I'm done. These people in the family have been busy all day, and they haven't eaten a hot meal at noon, so they will be here today and continue tomorrow. After Zhu Zhanhua finished speaking, he turned around and asked Dazhang to arrange for the guard of the mountain gate at night.

After eating, Da Zhang came over to find Zhu Zhanhua: "Brother Zhu, the head of the house, please come over and discuss something with you." ”

"Okay, I just want to hear about today's descent from the mountain."

"I brought back about twenty young men, and the head of the house is angry about it. Not very smooth. Da Zhang said after him.

"Isn't it a good thing to recruit more than 20 people a day, it won't take a week, 100 or so people won't be a problem, right?"

"Brother Zhu, you don't know much about the situation here, you didn't recruit on the first day, and it will be even more difficult in the future. I guess the head of the family is worried about this. Da Zhang said a little unconfidently.

"That's the case. However, don't be discouraged, the bad times have passed, and now the situation is going in a good direction, even if only these newcomers are recruited, plus the original thirty or so people, although it is not enough to reach a company, but the shelf can be set up first, and someone will add it to Rio later. Zhu Zhanhua patted Dazhang happily.

"You're right, we weren't afraid of traitors when we were few, and now we're recruiting these, so we're even more afraid. Hehe, you don't know, as soon as we see the boss on fire, we have no idea. Dazhang said embarrassedly.

As soon as the two of them came in, Xu Fang hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Zhan Hua, look, I've been tired all day, and I'm really sorry to invite you over." ”

"Battalion commander, we are a family now, you can tell me if you have something. Doing this little work is not a big deal for me, and if you hadn't come back early, I would have finished the two bunkers today. Xu Fang was so polite, Zhu Zhanhua didn't know what to say.

"Okay, then our family won't talk to each other. I'm looking for the two of you, and I want to tell you about going down the mountain to recruit people today. This time down the mountain, it's not too smooth. We walked through four or five villages before we recruited about 20 qualified brothers. Originally, I thought that I could recruit more than 100 people, but now that I look at it, I am a little too optimistic. Xu Fang said a little sadly.

"Battalion commander, I think it's good to recruit more than 20 people in one day. Even if you don't go down the mountain again, train these newcomers, more than fifty people, and the shelf is there, and you can find an opportunity to add some meat in the future. Zhu Zhanhua said with relief.

"I thought I would be able to recruit about 100 people this time. I didn't expect that there were a lot of people who came to ask, but when it was time to get serious, no one stepped forward. Xu Fang said indignantly.

"It's understandable that they don't want to go up the mountain, and in this situation, if there is a way to live, who wants to die." Zhu Zhanhua said.

"Brother Zhanhua, that's not the case. This time, a large group of traitors was beaten away, and the reputation of Hulu Mountain was still quite loud, and as soon as I heard that we were recruiting people, a large group came all of a sudden. I asked my subordinates to tell everyone about beating little devils and traitors, and many young people rushed to sign up as soon as they heard about it. You didn't see the scene at that time, there were more than 100 people, and they surrounded us in the middle at once. Speaking of this, Xu Fang's excited little face blushed.

"Then why did you go up the mountain for about twenty people?" Zhu Zhanhua asked a little puzzled.

"Then the parents of these young people came. These parents said that although everyone knows that Hulushan's beard is a good person, but a beard is a beard, and now they are beating the little devils, and as soon as the little devils leave, the officers and soldiers will come to clean them up. Xu Fang's excited face flashed, and he said disappointedly.

"Didn't you say that now we have joined the Volunteer Army in Hulushan and are regular anti-Japanese troops?"

"I said it, but these people just didn't believe it, and I was so angry that I almost didn't scold my mother. These people just admit death. Xu Fang said angrily.

"I see, by the way, isn't there a platoon of cavalry?"

"The cavalry didn't follow me into the village, they were ambushed outside the village, afraid that if something happened, they would find out as soon as possible."

"There is some truth to the people's fears. No one wants their children to get into the beard business. You also know that beard is not a legitimate livelihood after all, since ancient times, bandits have not had a good reputation, in the hearts of the common people and the government, has been stereotyped, they just use robbery as the main means of survival, murder and arson, all kinds of evil.

When these people robbed, they often robbed from village to town, and as soon as they entered the village, they robbed from house to house. Gold and silver jewelry, pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, grain fabrics, needles and threads, what to rob. The public was outraged.

There is also the kidnapping ticket. When the bandits caught the meat ticket, they began to torture them frantically, even cutting off the nose and ears of the meat ticket to coerce their family members to take the money. Most of the families of the kidnapped tickets were blackmailed and their families were ruined.

Although we are different from these bandits, many ordinary people don't know about it. That's why this happens. Zhu Zhanhua said analytically.

"There is a point in what you say. Actually, when my father was alive, I told him, but his old man said that from ancient times to the present, a beard is a beard, as long as you enter this mountain gate, even if you want to wash it, it is impossible. Xu Fang said disappointedly

"However, now we are different from before, although these people will not believe it for a while, but we can find some way to make them believe."

"What's the solution?" Da Zhang asked anxiously.

"I really came up with a solution. To tell you the truth, some time ago, our volunteers also went down to recruit hundreds of newcomers, and before they went down, the commander asked people to make a few big flags. Zhu Zhanhua suddenly thought of Yiyong's trick to recruit newcomers.

"How many flags do you make? We also have a big flag in Hulu Mountain, why don't I take it tomorrow? Xu Fang said with a wink of her beautiful eyes.

"The banner of Hulu Mountain is not good. I don't have any other consciousness, I mean that the banner of our Hulu Mountain knows that it is a beard at a glance, doesn't that scare people away? ”

"You mean we are also flying the banner of the Volunteers?" Xu Fang reacted suddenly, grabbed Zhu Zhanhua's hand and said excitedly.

When she grabbed it, Zhu Zhanhua's face turned red as soon as she "soared". His face flushed, Xu Fang was embarrassed, she hurriedly let go of her hand and lowered her head.

"Or the battalion commander is smart, that's what I said, you see if this will work, let the female soldiers make a few banners of the volunteers overnight, and I will talk to Liu Mingjie in a while, tomorrow let him ambush a few fewer people outside the village, let these people enter the village with you, ride a tall horse, and beat the banner, you don't need to explain, you know that it is a volunteer army at a glance, and this is very convincing." Zhu Zhanhua hurriedly praised Xu Fang, and then beckoned.
