Zhao Chunhua returned to Beiyangji and told the party members and comrades about the meeting with the puppet county magistrate Li Hanzhang.

After some analysis, the party members believed that the work of the Beiyangji Party had not yet been exposed. Eighty percent of the people in the village sided with us, and it was a good opportunity to show the strength of the masses.

The village head, Zhai Xiu'an, immediately notified the people of the whole village and reconvened the village head election meeting the next day.

Han Xing also returned to Beiyangji in the evening and informed Zhao Chunhe that tomorrow he would inform all the backbone members of the Liaocheng Northeast District Working Committee that military instructors from the New Eighth Brigade would come and teach them how to carry out guerrilla warfare.

Zhao Chunhua said: "Tomorrow will not work, our village will re-elect a new village head." ”

"Isn't the current village chief elected by the people, why should he be elected?" Han Xing asked suspiciously.

Zhao Chunhua told him about meeting Li Hanzhang.

Han Xing thought about it and thought that there was nothing unusual about Li Hanzhang's actions. Now that you've done all your work, let's do it again!

The next day, when the sun was high in the treetops, three cars full of devils and traitors came to the edge of the village and suddenly stopped. Some devils and traitors jumped out of the car and rushed towards the village. The sentry in Beiyangji found that the situation was not good, so he ran to the venue to report the news, but it was too late, and the devil and traitor followed the messenger's ass and immediately chased them to the village.

Han Xing was going to see the effect of the election in the village, but when he saw the devils and traitors rushing in, he knew that the situation had changed. Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong also knew that there was an accident, so they pulled Han Xing away, walked through the streets and alleys, and finally avoided the enemy.

The enemy, who got out of the car, searched all the way through the village and surrounded the venue. A stiff machine gun rested against the wall, and a bayonet with a handle gleamed coldly.

Commander Omoto howled with his command knife: "Yaga! What elects the village chief. This is all Balu Village, and the conscience is broken. Let them all stand still, and I will give them a lecture. ”

The traitor translator Nan Yuncheng held a piece of paper in his hand and rolled it into a horn tube, and when Daben said a word, he learned it like a horn dog.

Daben shouted: "Folks in Beiyangji, don't fall for the Communist Party, and be the leader of the gun for them." We, the Imperial Japanese Army, want to build the East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, and we want to build my royal paradise. The Imperial Army is your friend, and as long as you listen to the Imperial Army, you will be guaranteed to live a good life. ”

Big Ben was shouting hoarsely, when suddenly Zhai Dongcheng shouted in the crowd: "We don't listen to the imperial army, we are Chinese." ”

When Big Ben heard that someone dared to blatantly sing against him, he couldn't help but be furious: "Baga! Who is this? Dare to openly confront the imperial army. ”

The villagers were also taken aback when they heard Zhai Dongcheng's call, this Zhai Dongcheng, what is this for, if you are bold, you are not so bold, you dare to openly argue with the little devil.

A few devils came up, and they grabbed Zhai Dongcheng at once and held his arm.

Translator Nan Yuncheng muttered a few words in Big Ben's ear, and Commander Big Ben smiled happily. He walked up to Zhai Dongcheng, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a sinister smile: "You are Chinese this ......" He stretched out his thumb to praise Zhai Dongcheng and said, "As long as you say who is the Communist Party in the village, you can live." ”

Zhai Dongcheng shouted loudly: "Who is the Communist Party, and there is no post on his face, how do I know?" ”

Big Ben said sinisterly, "You don't know, then call me-"

A few devils came up and hit Zhai Dongcheng with the butt of a gun, only to hit Zhai Dongcheng on the ground all of a sudden. After the fight, he took Zhai Dongcheng around the crowd to identify who the Communist Party was.

Zhai Dongcheng pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but as soon as his eyes were closed, the person in front of him was immediately arrested.

Zhao Chunhua was also a little confused when he came up first, what happened to this Zhai Dongcheng, how to judge the two of them peacefully, did he misjudge him in his original judgment, he misunderstood him, he is still anti-Japanese.

But wherever Zhai Dongcheng went, party members and activists were arrested. Zhao Chunhua suddenly understood. This is Zhai Dongcheng's bitter ploy, that is, in order to identify party members and activists, but also to protect himself.

More than 20 party members and activists have been arrested.

Zhao Chunhua thought that there was no hope of breaking through at this time, there was a bad guy like Zhai Dongcheng here, and no one could escape. If the enemy can't catch me, he won't give up, and I am a member of the Communist Party, and I must not watch the masses being killed.

Zhai Xiu'an didn't catch it, Zhao Chunhua stepped out in one step, slowly walked to the front, glared at Commander Daben and Nan Yuncheng angrily and said, "Aren't you trying to arrest me?" ”

Big Ben stared at a pair of small eyes, walked up to Zhao Chunhua and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Zhao Chunhua! The line does not change the name, and the sitting does not change the surname. ”

Nan Yuncheng translated to Da Ben, who took the command knife and circled around Zhao Chunhua twice. He took a closer look at this well-known Communist, who was familiar and prickly to both the recalcitrant army and the Japanese. Then, he stretched out his finger and made a figure of eight: "Yo Xi!" Yo West! This one of yours! This for the Chinese! ”

Daben howled, and Nan Yuncheng translated: "Taijun asked you, who is still Balu?" ”

"I'm the only one." Zhao Chunhua said loudly.

"Hmm!" Big Ben grinned with his teeth, shook his head, and took out the list in Nan Yuncheng's hand and shook it, "I know all about the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army in your village. If you don't say it, you won't do it, if you don't say it, yours will die and you will die. ”

Zhao Chunhua continued to say loudly: "The Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army are the only ones, and they have nothing to do with these ordinary people. This list of yours must be a bad rumor to frame the people of my Beiyangji. ”

The devil and traitor were in front, and Zhai Dongcheng was behind, Nan Yuncheng began to ask for the names of ordinary people one by one, and then checked the list, as long as it matched the name on the list, he would be arrested immediately.

When Nan Yuncheng walked up to Zhai Xiu'an, he asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Zhai Jingshen." Zhai Xiu'an made up a name temporarily.

Nan Yuncheng checked the list, did not find Zhai Jingshen's name, glanced at Zhai Dongcheng again, and was about to walk by, Zhai Dongcheng suddenly closed his eyes.

Nan Yuncheng suddenly shouted: "Catch him, this person is the Communist Party, it's the Eighth Road." ”

Immediately, a few devils and puppet soldiers came up, punched and kicked Zhai Xiu'an, and arrested him.

Seven party members and more than 60 activists of the Beiyangji party branch were all arrested and taken to Liaocheng City.

After the fierce Big Ben arrested Zhao Chunhua and others, he thought that he had grasped some life-saving straw and tortured them with all kinds of cruel torture, but Zhao Chunhua and others never gave in.

Zhao Chunhua fainted under the torture of the enemy, and the enemy woke up with a basin of cold water. The enemy asked: "Honestly, who is the Communist Party." As long as you tell the truth, you can live? ”

"I am the Communist Party, and they are all ordinary people."

"Who is your superior?" The enemy asked fiercely again.

"I don't know!" Zhao Chunhua said firmly.

Seeing that Zhao Chunhua didn't say anything, the enemy continued to torture, and Zhao Chunhua fainted again.

In order to rescue Zhao Chunhua and the villagers, the party is also doing everything possible to carry out work. Han Xing took advantage of his special identity and took Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong to Liaocheng City again.

Han Xing is not just doing this one thing, he has to pay attention to work efficiency in doing things, and he can't be like a black blind man breaking a stick, breaking one and dropping another, then he has to connect many things, and he can do a few things, so that the efficiency is high.

The first place Han Xing went to Liaocheng was Zhao Hongwu's stronghold. In order to cover his identity, Zhao Hongwu often changed his profession, originally to open a pawnshop, but now he changed to a grain store.

Han Xing took these two acquaintances, dressed in civilian clothes, and said to the young man when he entered the grain store: "Look at your grain, why is the condition so bad, is there anything better!" I'm going to talk to your boss. ”

The guy is also quite expert, complaining about the buyer. If this customer says that this is not good, then it is not good, then the sale is coming, and it is likely to be a big buyer. If a customer enters the store, looks east and west, and does not look at the condition of the goods, they are here to hang out and play, and there is generally no sale.

The young man hurriedly said enthusiastically, "There are still good miles in the house, why don't you go in and have a look." Talk to the boss when you're optimistic. ”

In fact, Zhao Hongwu was in the inner room, and when he heard the sound of talking in the outhouse, he was stunned, why did Han Xing come and hurriedly greeted him. He bowed his hand to Han Xing and said, "Yo! This guest officer is here, if you want to buy some goods, there are samples in the house, please take a look at the house. ”

Han Xing greeted Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong: "Let's go, take a look in the house." ”

Entering the back room, there is a small courtyard inside. When the military command station bought this small courtyard, it also took into account that the small courtyard was far away from the front, and it was convenient to speak and do things.

Zhao Hongwu led Han Xing a few, entered a room in the small courtyard again, and closed the door. Zhao Hongwu suddenly hugged Han Xing's arm and said, "My fourth brother, my stationmaster, why haven't you been here for a long time, you want to kill me!" ”

Han Xing also hugged him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "My big brother, I want to kill you too, isn't this busy." ”

The two of them had a lively time, and Han Xing said: "But I'm starving, hurry, hurry, hurry up, good wine and good food." ”

Zhao Hongwu thought that Han Xing was the deputy brigade commander of the new Eighth Brigade, and asked incomprehensibly: "You are such a big official, do you have anything to eat, nothing to drink, go to my small and poor place to find good food, it's true!" ”

Han Xing never told Zhao Hongwu many things, which is also the discipline of the party. Han Xing said without seeming: "Okay, you are also the place of Dongchang Mansion here!" What iron rooster, what gluttonous duck, all of them. I also want to try the famous food of Dongchang Mansion! ”
