Han Xing listened to this, and smiled secretly in his heart, this is Chiang Kai-shek throwing out another big benefit hydrangea, but his job is in Liaocheng, leaving Liaocheng, mixed under Dai Li, at most is a division chief, not to mention different beliefs, mixed under the chairman, at most is a corps commander, then you have to obey the chairman everywhere. In the long run, it will be impossible to talk about a whole set of anti-Japanese plans.

So, Han Xing also leaned on his heels, and said uprightly: "My job is in Liaocheng, although Liaocheng is behind the enemy, it can also be said that it is the front line, a time bomb buried in the stomach of the Japanese army." I will certainly live up to the chairman's insults and give full play to my strengths, and I will certainly make the Japanese feel no better. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was greatly appreciative when he heard this, patted Han Xing's shoulder and said, "Good! Good! Ambitious, assertive, not for fame, not for profit, just for our China's anti-Japanese war! Good! Good! Very good, so what is your current military rank? ”

Han Xing reported: "The subordinate is the major station chief. ”

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Dai Li, and then said to Han Xing: "From now on, you will be the colonel stationmaster." In addition, Chiang Kai-shek took a Zhongzheng sword from the side, put it on Han Xing in person, and then said cordially: "Seeing a sword is like seeing a person, I hope you will be good at yourself, always put the interests of the party in mind, bravely kill the enemy, work hard, and truly realize Mr. Zhongshan's three ** righteousness." ”

Up to now, Han Xing had no choice but to stand up and say: "We will never forget the chairman's insults, and we will not stop if we don't drive the Japanese devils out of China!" ”

……

In this sanction of Deng Yiru and Xu Peigen, there is another beneficiary, that is, Zhao Hongwu. Zhao Hongwu followed Han Xing, that was a bald man who followed the moon - he was naked, and he was promoted from an ordinary captain and a small special captain to the deputy head of the major of the Liaocheng workstation. Since then, he has even identified Han Xing, the boss, as long as he follows Han, he is a high-ranking official, a horse can be ridden, a green light all the way, and fame and fortune will be gained.

On the way back to Liaocheng, he asked Han Xing: "What is the focus of our Liaocheng workstation in the future, is it still to continue to monitor Zhang Weihan and Yao Dihong?" ”

Han Xing shook his head and said, "Zhang Weihan and Yao Dihong are already clear, do you still need to monitor!" The focus of our work should be on Wang Jinxiang and Qi Zixiu. ”

"Why?" Zhao Hongwu asked with some incomprehension.

"Needless to say, if you look at the incident at Changsha airport, you will understand what is going on. Now the corruption cases in the army and organs within the party-state are even bigger than the danger of ***! Now we are blocking bullets and keeping them useful, and what about the internal corruption cases, they are directly helping the Japanese. ”

Zhao Hongwu pondered for a while and said: "Gao Jian, Gao Jian, it is really Gao Jian!" There is a saying, that is...... Is that...... That's a commanding height! ”

Just when Han Xing and Zhao Hongwu hadn't returned to Liaocheng, something happened in Yanggu County again.

Two flowers bloom, each table and a branch, Yanggu County borders Liaocheng in the north, Dong'e County in the east, Shen County in the west, and Taiqian County and Fan County in Henan Province in the south. There is a lion tower in the city, according to legend, it is Shandong good man Wu Song to avenge his brother and kill Ximen Qing in anger, and the lion tower is famous all over the world. Since the Kuomintang county magistrate fled and the anti-Japanese county magistrate Xu Maoli came to Yanggu, the anti-Japanese work in Yanggu County has been vigorously launched.

In 1938, just after the Spring Festival, people still stayed in the joy of the festival, and there was an endless stream of relatives and friends. Boys and uncles wear black quilts, black cotton pants, black cloth shoes, and sleeves, and they may have a firecracker or two taels of tobacco or a bottle of liquor in their pockets to chat with friends.

Why is it black, because Luxi produces cotton, weaves and dyes his own cloth, it is black in winter, and it is white in summer without even dyeing.

The eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law carry a basket, and the basket may contain a few white flour buns or jujube rolls, or a few boiled eggs, or a little more advanced, a bag of dim sum. The so-called dim sum is a pack of biscuits or a pack of peach cakes. The simple Luxi people use these gifts to carry out activities of visiting relatives and friends year after year.

Unmarried girls wear flower clothes, which are made of foreign cloth, and if you can wear such flower clothes, it will be fashionable at that time, and the girls who are waiting to get married must always dress better. As for the old daughter-in-law in her thirties and forties, she is not very particular, she is simply dressed in black.

The old man and the old lady were basking in the sun, baring their yellow teeth and watching the bustle of people coming and going on the street. Why don't they stay at home, because it's warmer on the street than at home. No one can afford to light a stove, and the doors of Luxi's house are all large board doors, and the window lattices are pasted with newspapers, and the house is colder than the outside during the day, so it is also a major feature of Luxi to open the door in the house in winter.

When it was almost dark, a team of "Shehuo" suddenly came in from outside the county, they beat gongs and drums, and played while walking, attracting countless children to run around with "Shehuo". Where have I seen such a lively scene in the county, after a while, the big girl, the little daughter-in-law, and the rare young man have already surrounded a strict circle, and they are all walking, running, and jumping with the "Shehuo" team, and then outside is a circle of old men and old ladies who can't squeeze in.

There are a total of three ox carts in the team of "Shehuo", each of which has a grinding disc on it, and a cow on each cart is swaying and pulling. Luxi Ox's whole body was draped, his eyes were covered, and he was led by strong men, walking with his head down. In the eye of each millstone is a wooden stick, the head of which is tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope is tied to a wire bullpen with a mouth filled with charcoal and pig iron filings.

The charcoal had already been led, and with a shout, three young men from each millstone grabbed the sticks and began to spin, the wind rode the fire, the fire borrowed the wind, and the charcoal burned and whirred, and the more it burned, the more it burned. At this time, if one of the charcoal throwers is tired and shouts and jumps out of the circle, another person quickly rushes into the ranks of throwing wooden sticks.

The charcoal fire was whirring and brightening, reflecting the smiling faces of the children, women, and elderly people who surrounded them.

Suddenly, the first molten iron was thrown out and thrown on the ground, on the wall, and on the cow's body, bursting out with dazzling sparks, followed by a jubilant cheer. Of course, the sparks that were thrown on the cow were quickly shaken away by the person who was holding the cow.

The simple villagers were all infected by this magical and lively scene, forgetting their poverty and troubles, forgetting their temporary sorrows, and opening up their rare laughter.

With the sound of the whirring wind, the iron juice is thrown more and more, forming a sparkling iron stream, brilliant and unrestrained. The children jumped and jumped happily, the old people were happy to open their toothless mouths, but the girls were not so generous, they peeked at the young men who were fighting bravely by the light of the fire, maybe they had their own sweethearts inside!

After a while, the light of the fire gradually faded, and the trickling iron juice fell to the ground in a scattered manner, bursting with faint sparks. An excitement and a happy voice passed, but it was an unforgettable dream for the villagers......

At this time, the "Shehuo" team had already walked to the square in front of the county government.

The dream was a reality, just when the villagers were about to disperse, suddenly a big man in the "Shehuo" team suddenly pulled out a rifle from under the ox cart and shouted: "Brothers, the next program is to attack the county government and occupy Yanggu County." ”

With his loud shouting, these members of the "social fire" team pulled out their knives and guns from the cloth bags containing charcoal and iron filings on the ox cart, and as the big man rushed towards the county government, for a time the sound of gunfire, shouting and killing, and the sound of ping-pong shooting became one. In an instant, the lively "social fire" became a brutal massacre.

The villagers who were watching the excitement just now were suddenly stunned by this drastic change of the scene, several villagers were hit by stray bullets, and fell to the ground inexplicably, and the others then understood, and suddenly dispersed like a swarm of bees, and soon the square became this "social fire" team.

It turned out that this was the bandit Bu Yongyan pretending to be a team of "Shehuo" and attacked Yanggu County at night.

The county brigade guarding the county seat and the county government was also not vegetarian, and more than a dozen people blocked the door, fought with Bu Yongyan's bandits, and resolutely prevented them from rushing into the county government. One of the bandits fell, and the other rushed again, as if they were not afraid of anything. In the fierce shootout, the fighters of the county brigade also fell down continuously.

At this time, Xu Maoli, the anti-Japanese county magistrate, was working in the county government, and he heard fierce gunshots outside, and knew that it was not good, so he immediately brandished his pistol, and the soldiers of the guard squad rushed out, commanding the guard platoon at the door to block Bu Yongyan's team.

At this time, fierce gunfire also sounded at the south gate and west gate of Yanggu County, which was the bandits' large army after hearing the signal to attack the county government, and forcibly attacked the south gate and the west gate according to the prior agreement. There are more and more bandits attacking the county government, the front ones are killed, and the back ones continue to rush forward, it seems that they are really dead......

Xu Maoli knew that if he fought like this, the county government would be broken sooner or later, and instead of being eliminated by bandits, it was better to retreat in time, and then find a way, so he had to say loudly to the secretary: "Inform all the people in the organs, gather quickly, and take away all the important documents and money, and you must not leave them to these bandits." Xu Maoli led the soldiers to hold on for a while, and saw that the shape was becoming more and more unfavorable to the county government, so he had to lead the soldiers and agency personnel to withdraw from the east gate.

After Xu Maoli withdrew from the east gate, he saw that most of the personnel of the county brigade led by Zhao Xiaozhou, the captain of the county brigade, had also withdrawn from the north gate, and the two teams were combined. Zhao Xiaozhou asked Xu Maoli and said, "County Magistrate Xu, what should we do?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Maoli said to Zhao Xiaozhou: "It turns out that we are in the light, and the bandit Bu Yongyan is in the dark, now it's okay, they have become the light, and we have become the dark, so we will surround the county and tell them not to think about it, and then quickly tell Commissioner Fan and ask Commander Fan to quickly lead troops to eliminate this bandit." ”

So, Xu Maoli went to a nearby place where there was a phone and quickly informed Fan Zhuxian of the situation in Yanggu County.
