Ye Tufei divided his troops into three routes, he took one road himself, handed it over to Zhang Luohui one way, and the other road was led by Wei Xiangdong, and went in three directions for three days, and a total of no less than 30 traitors were cleaned up.

This made the surrounding people all applaud, and they became more superstitious and worshipful of Ye Tufei, and the number of peasant tenants who migrated to Erlang Mountain began to increase, and even the soldiers who had already cooled down also became hot again.

In less than half a month, there were more than 1,000 more peasant tenants in Erlang Mountain, and the momentum is unabated and there is a growing trend.

The growth rate of the military source is not slow, every day there are twenty or thirty heroes who come to join the gang, seeing that it is not enough to take out the guns sent by Han Hongxun, Ye Tufei is guilty of happy troubles.

Ye Tufei thought of Han Hongxun for the first time, so he sent Deng Youfu to Han Hongxun's station, wanting to get another batch of arms from Han Hongxun.

Who knows, after Deng Youfu came back, he brought back a very bad news, Commander Han was actually detained by someone sent from Chongqing, and it is said that he will be sent back to Chongqing to go to a military court.

Ye Tufei was directly blinded by this news, and he didn't know what was going on, and after asking, Deng Youfu said the reason: "It was said that Master Han collaborated with the Communist Party and transferred the weapons and ammunition of the party-state to the Communist Party through the sixth master, and made huge profits from it." ”

Ye Tufei suddenly remembered Song Yulong.

At the beginning, Han Hongxun had told Ye Tufei that he must leave this Song Yulong in Erlang Mountain to take care of it, but Han Hongxun didn't take it too seriously when he said it, Ye Tufei actually put Song Yulong under house arrest, but accidentally let him slip away.

When Song Yulong slipped away, Ye Tufei didn't think it was a big deal.

But now, things have come, and it doesn't seem small.

Ye Tufei didn't know much about the national army, so he could only ask Yan Xiwen for advice.

After Yan Xiwen understood it clearly, he analyzed: "Although this Han division commander originally belonged to the Northwest Army and did not have much solid backing in Chongqing, but after the Battle of Xuzhou, his troops were reorganized into the civil engineering department, leaning on the big tree of Chen Cheng, especially when Chairman Jiang called on the national army to also go behind the enemy to conduct guerrilla warfare, Han Hongxun was the first person in the civil engineering department to stand up, and after more than a year, the battle was impressive, and the team also grew a lot, giving Chen Cheng a lot of face. It stands to reason that the whole bit of arms he gave you, the problem is yes, but he won't be sent to a court-martial? ”

Ye Tufei changed his thinking and asked, "Brother Yan, in the national army, what a crime is it to be with the Communist Party?" ”

Yan Xiwen replied: "Before, this was a big crime, those who didn't have a backstage might be shot, and those who had a backstage couldn't say for sure, but it was light to be imprisoned for a few years." In the past two years, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated in the united front, and the hat of the Communist Party is not very easy to use, especially for a general like Commander Han who is leaning against a big tree behind him, it is not a matter at all whether he is connected to the Communist Party or not! ”

Ye Tufei was even more confused and said, "Then why is the military commander still staring at Commander Han?" Aren't they afraid of offending Chen Cheng? ”

Yan Xiwen said: "This is what I don't understand. ”

Ye Tufei raised a new doubt: "Brother Yan, you said that according to Lao Han's character, on his territory, he would be able to stand such a bird's spirit from the military commander?" Horizontal and vertical are all dead, why doesn't he turn back? ”

Yan Xiwen said: "Lao Han is a standard soldier, and it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. ”

Ye Tufei shook his head and said, "In my opinion, people like Lao Han can accept dying on the battlefield but will never endure injustice." It's not going to be that simple. ”

Yan Xiwen said: "Maybe I found Song Yulong, and the reason for this is clear." ”

Ye Tufei sighed and said, "You might as well say, if you don't let him slip away, there won't be this incident!" ”

This sentence reminded Yan Xiwen, and he hurriedly asked, "When did Song Yulong slip away?" ”

Ye Tufei replied: "It's the night I drank with Lao Lu." ”

Yan Xiwen asked again: "Then did Deng Youfu inquire that Lao Han was controlled that day?" ”

Ye Tufei said: "Listen to General Deng Youfu, that is, in the last two days." ”

Yan Xiwen said: "There is a difference of more than 20 days during this period, almost a month!" Why is there such a long delay? ”

Ye Tufei said: "Maybe the military commander had a fierce conflict with Chen Cheng, and in the end the military commander gained the upper hand. ”

Yan Xiwen shook his head and said, "Impossible, the relationship between Mr. Fishery and Farmer of the Military Command and Chen Cheng is very iron, and it is impossible to have a conflict." ”

Hearing Yan Xiwen mention fishermen and farmers, Ye Tufei's heart trembled, and he suddenly realized that the military commander's actions were most likely aimed at him.

But Ye Tufei couldn't explain this to Yan Xiwen, if it weren't for mentioning fishing and farmers today because of Han Hongxun's matter, he would have almost forgotten that he had joined the military command.

The discussion with Yan Xiwen was finally ended because Ye Tufei deliberately interrupted, but Ye Tufei had already made up his mind that he would go to Han Hongxun's military camp tomorrow, and meet the military commanders for a while.

However, an unexpected incident that night disrupted Ye Tufei's plan.

A squadron of Little Japan ransacked Guzhuang, which was less than fifteen miles away from Erlang Mountain, and in addition to a few relatives in the whole village, there were also a few who went up to Erlang Mountain, leaving 327 people, all of whom were poisoned by Little Japan.

In the early hours of the morning, the survivors stumbled to Erlang Mountain and told Ye Tufei about the misery of last night, and the whole camp exploded.

Especially the Guzhuang brothers who had just gone up the mountain to join the gang, they lined up, knelt down in front of Ye Tufei, and begged Ye Liuye to avenge them and the villagers with tears.

Without waiting for Ye Tufei to make a statement, Yan Xiwen stood up first, he helped several brothers in Guzhuang up one by one, and persuaded him earnestly: "Brothers, fellow villagers, we must avenge this revenge!" Rise up first, ah! Believe me, believe in your sixth master! You go back to rest first, and let me discuss with the sixth master how to take revenge. ”

The brothers stood up with tears in their eyes, looking at Ye Tufei with blank eyes, but they refused to leave.

Ye Tufei gritted his teeth, his face was blue, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Within three days, if you don't take revenge, you will not be a man!" ”

Yan Xiwen was stunned, glanced at Ye Tufei, and hurriedly sent the brothers out of the door.

After returning to the house, Yan Xiwen pointed at Ye Tufei and said, "I can understand your feelings, but you can't talk so hard, within three days, how easy is it to talk about?" If you can't, what's the prestige? ”

Ye Tufei was silent, staring straight ahead with his eyes.

Yan Xiwen sighed and said, "Brother! You have to calm down, will little Japan run to the gate of Erlang Mountain to slaughter the village for no reason? That's deliberately provoking you! That's Nobu Takahashi's conspiracy! You can't fall for him! ”

Ye Tufei let out a sneer and said, "So what? The villagers of Guzhuang suffered this great disaster, and if I don't come forward to avenge them, how can I explain it to the brothers? How to explain to the nearly 10,000 villagers in Erlang Mountain? ”

Yan Xiwen shook his head and did not answer Ye Tufei directly, but was silent for a while before speaking: "National disaster, family feud, which is more important?" Ye Tufei, a year and a half ago, in Nanjing, how many of our compatriots did Little Japan kill in one go? Mountains of corpses and rivers of blood! There is no river water in sight on the Yangtze River, all you can see is the revenge of the corpses floating in the river, how to avenge it? ”

It was Ye Tufei's turn to be speechless.

Nanking! It was a city where all flesh-and-blood Chinese would feel shame and sorrow.

Although Ye Tufei did not experience the hellish week in Nanjing, there is no lack of bloody pictures of that shameful history in his memory. The remnants of their weapons, the unarmed civilians, the frightened and ignorant women and children, one by one, in groups, in batches, were driven to the slaughter site by the Japanese army, picked with bayonets, fired with rifles, and swept with machine guns

Why not rebel! Why not fight hard!

Ye Tufei clearly remembered that when he saw the picture called the movie about this period of history, he roared and questioned it angrily.

He still remembers that after that, he consulted a lot of research materials in this area, some analyzed the causes of the Japanese army's atrocities, and some analyzed the background of the tragedy, but few analyzed why the Chinese did not dare to resist desperately.

Later, it seems that there is a thing called the Internet, although the army highly prohibits soldiers from participating in the Internet, but Ye Tufei risked violating discipline and still consulted many so-called wild history comments on the Internet.

But all these comments could not explain the confusion in Ye Tufei's heart.

It is said that the Chinese have experienced a long period of feudal society, which has led to too strong servility, and when facing the rifle bayonets of the Japanese army, they have lost the desire to survive. Those who hold this theory also use the Ten Days of Yangzhou hundreds of years ago as evidence.

Some people say that it is determined by the characteristics of Chinese who are good at nesting, and they are unwilling to be the first bird, and they do not want to die before the people around them, and they all hope that others can stand up first. Regarding this point of view, Ye Tufei could only sigh and shake his head, objecting to it in his heart, but he couldn't refute it.

There is even an argument that the Japanese army is too strong, and our compatriots are powerless to resist and can only endure it. When Ye Tufei saw this comment post at the time, he seemed to believe it, but then he consulted the information of the Japanese army and confirmed that the Japanese troops who participated in the massacre were not many, and there was often a strange phenomenon of three or five Japanese soldiers escorting hundreds of Chinese compatriots.

Why not rebel? Why not fight hard?

At this moment, when Yan Xiwen mentioned this history again, Ye Tufei's heart was only angry! He stood up abruptly and shouted: "If you kill one, you won't lose, if you kill two, you will earn, why don't the Chinese dare to fight with Little Japan?" ”

Yan Xiwen was shocked by Ye Tufei, he looked at Ye Tufei blankly for a few seconds, like advice, and as if talking to himself, and said: "Resisting Japan is not a simple matter, it requires a hard and long-term struggle to achieve the final victory, if you don't protect yourself first, how can you fight for a long time?" ”
