Chapter 35: Triumph Cave
"His name is Huang Guangying, and he looks like a hunter in the mountains. Just now we came in and asked him about it, and the kid turned around and ran into the hole without saying a word. The warriors went to chase, and he was holding a knife and wanted to hurt someone. If it weren't for Yuan Fang's quick movements, Zhang San would have been really injured by him just now! Gou Tianxiao pointed to a machete more than half a meter long on the ground and explained.
Hu Fei picked up the knife and looked at it, the wide single-sided blade had a sharp tip in front of it, and the shape was very ordinary, and it even looked rustic. The steel mouth is not very good, this should be an ordinary hunting knife used by hunters, and it is okay to say that it is a woodcutter.
Not to mention that this knife is not compared with his own ghost head knife, but it is a little worse than the bayonet of a formal rifle. Just from the tools used, it can be seen that the living conditions of the underground people are not much better.
For the poor, Hu Fei always has an instinctive pity. Seeing the man kneeling on the ground with his head down, he couldn't help but slow down his tone, "Tell me, why did you attack my soldiers just now?" ”
Hu Fei actually had the intention of forgiving this person when he asked this, but the underground man didn't know. Seeing that the stars came in like a moon, and the people around him called him Commander, he must be a big official! Since this man is a hunter in the mountains, he is also a little ruthless, and he suddenly raised his head and replied loudly: "They are chasing me, of course I will fight." ”
"Heh, you will fight when they chase you? Do you know who they are? They are all soldiers of the country, people of the army! Ask you something, what do you run? Hurt someone with a weapon and still ignore you? I ask you, why are you running? Can't you see the uniforms on them? ”
Hu Fei was a little nervous. In fact, he was not angry, mainly because Hu Fei felt that this hunter had an obvious unruly aura, and if he planned to recruit him into the army in the future, it would be better to suppress him first when they met.
After a few seconds of pause, the tied hunter began to defend himself. It won't work if you don't defend it. In the past few years, he has seen several scenes of shooting people, all of them kneeling on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, and shooting them directly in the head will kill him. Now he was also kneeling on the ground with his hands tied, and the group of people standing in front of him also had guns in their hands. Don't speak, don't talk and wait to be shot?
"I really didn't know you were a national army. The people in the town wore the same clothes as yours, they didn't pay me for my prey, they caught strong men, and they still respected the Japanese as if they were ancestors. At this point the hunter paused, feeling as if his words were a little heavy, for fear of angering the so-called national army in front of him.
"Town? Which town are you talking about? ”
"Jinci Town."
It doesn't matter which town it is, it's even more normal for there to be devils and puppet soldiers in the town, Hu Fei just wanted to ask Guò to observe whether this hunter named Huang Guangying was telling the truth. Now that he sees that the reply is crisp and clear, it is obvious that what he said is not a lie, and he does not plan to be difficult for this person anymore.
"Let him go."
The two warriors pulled Huang Guangying up and untied the rope for him. With so many people around, I'm not afraid of what kind of character he plays. Hu Fei asked him where the cave leads, and Huang Guangying tells him that the other end of the cave leads to the bottom of the mountain, and there is an exit at the bottom of the mountain. Sometimes hunters want to get close to the road, so they go up the mountain in a cave. After some talking, the atmosphere at the scene finally eased up.
Yuan Fang returned, and the news he brought back confirmed Huang Guangying's words. At this point, Hu Fei's hostility towards Huang Guangying disappeared. Since the conditions of the Hunter Cave are so good, it should be used as the headquarters of the column. Hu Fei ordered the soldiers to cut down trees and renovate caves nearby. Since you plan to use this as your headquarters, of course, you need to make all kinds of living facilities as comfortable as possible.
Another big issue is the water problem. Huang Guangying knew that there was a mountain spring nearby. Hu Fei took people over to take a look, and it was really good. The spring water flows large and clear, and it is not far from the Hunter's Cave. Hu Fei asked the warriors to dig stones to divert water and lead the mountain spring to the hunter's cave. Since then, there is clear mountain spring water available for drinking and washing in the cave.
The trees on the mountain were inexhaustible, and the warriors made tables, chairs, and beds out of wood, dividing the wide cave into rooms.
The name of the Hunter Cave is also not good, and Hu Fei renamed the cave and called it Triumph Cave. It indicates that the detachment will always win battles from now on. Triumph Cave, the cave where the soldiers who came back triumphantly lived. During this period, several more hunters came to the Triumph Cave, and Hu Fei recruited all these people into his troops without exception.
The hunters originally went up to the mountains to hunt, but accidentally joined the army, and the family under the mountain did not know about it. Some people asked to go home and have a look, say hello to their family and come back.
It is said that this is a reasonable request, but since the conscription has developed into a process of catching strong men, the soldiers naturally cannot be put back lightly when they enter the army. What if you don't look back? Therefore, in the army at that time, except for some trustworthy veterans who had the right to go home to visit their relatives, there was no possibility for new recruits to go home at all.
On this day, a hunter who had only been in the army for two days came to beg Hu Fei, "Commander, my mother is sick and lying at home." I went up to the mountains to hunt just to hunt the prey, and I went back to sell the money to buy medicine for my mother's illness. Please let me go home and see my mother! I promise, just stay at home for one day and come back! If my words don't count, let God kill me with a thunderbolt! ”
Hu Fei looked at it, and the few recruits who came with him were all watching with their eyes, if they had to, they might have chilled the hearts of these recruits. Well, then give him a few days off. However, there should be no precautions at all.
"Wow, it's rare that you can have a piece of filial piety. I'll give you three days off. Go back and make arrangements at home and come back. Today doesn't count, from tomorrow onwards, you have to come back on the fourth day. I'll find someone to accompany you back. ”
Hu Fei's plan is to let the two veterans accompany the recruits home, and if there is something at home, there will be someone who can help, of course, there is mainly an overseer. Those veterans are all from other places, and they have fought with Hu Fei for so many years, and there is nothing to say about their loyalty.
And so it was settled. Two veterans accompanied a recruit home for three days, and the troops gave him a settling-in allowance of five yuan. The troops who joined Hu Fei would have to go to the battlefield sooner or later, maybe they would never come back for the rest of their lives, and these five oceans were people's money! Fortunately, there are not many hunters recruited locally, and Hu Feihua is not distressed by this settling-in fee.
When Huang Guangying, the first hunter to enlist in the army, returned to his hometown to visit relatives, Cheng Laogang wanted to go back with him. Huang Guangying has been specially recruited by Gou Tianxiao into the reconnaissance battalion of the Independent Brigade, and is now Commander Cheng's subordinate. The camp is accompanied by the adults in person, Huang Guangying has anything else to say, then go.
