Chapter 67

Pu Guanshui saw the chaos in the enclosure, and when he rushed to the vicinity of the Liu family's house, the corpse had already been covered with a white cloth. The blood of all the young ladies of the Liu family has not completely coagulated. Liu Guangyi, who was in a state of stupor, had been dragged into the captives by his relatives. Xiong Mingyang was commanding the troops to begin verifying the list of the Liu family's relatives. It would be too embarrassing to let the Liu family have remnants of their sins.

"We are afraid of being serious in everything, and we people in the People's Party are the most serious." Xiong Mingyang shouted to the party members who were named,

This is Chen Ke's "famous quote". If a person does not think about how much he has gained after doing something, but puts all his attention on the thing itself, then he can burst out with infinite subjective initiative.

All members of the People's Party have this kind of awareness. According to the characteristics of human nature, the roll call first separates the children. Then ask the child to name his parents. Children are not good at lying, and many children are already frightened when they are led into a group of strangers alone. As soon as they find their parents, "Dad, Mom!" The shouts rang out one after another. Parents were terrified to see their children taken away. When these Liu family's clansmen wanted to take Liu Guangying away, they still wishful thinking that these bandits just wanted young women. Unexpectedly, after the "bandit leader" said some "crooked reasoning and heresy", he said that Liu Guangying, who dared to do it, was killed. This kind of behavior made these people understand that Xiong Mingyang, the "bandits" who claimed to be the insurance group, were the masters of chickens and dogs. It is not that no one has great grief and indignation at Yoo Kwang-young's death, but when expressing this grief and indignation, it is necessary to pay the price of death, and those people lowered their eyes with hatred.

The children are not sensible and are already frightened to see such a tragedy. As soon as they were asked to find their parents, the children showed a strong urgency without exception, and they were busy pointing out their parents. After this identification, the Liu family, which was based on the family unit, was gradually separated.

After the first screening, it is numbered according to the name. According to the pre-numbering, these people were sewn with signs on their shoulders. The Liu family's family showed great panic about this sign. The soldier in charge of the captives immediately told the captives that if one of the family members took off the marker, the whole family would starve for a day. Now that the family unit has been separated, the parents want to take it off again, and they also have to consider the punishment of the strain. They eventually gave in.

These people are then screened a second time by the representatives of the victims. The living and the dead of the Liu family were all seated, and then they began to disperse and escort.

The convoy transporting the captured personnel began to concentrate towards the base area. The people of the Liu family were neither the first batch nor the last, shuttling back and forth on the big boats on the river, bringing back only fine and soft belongings, and not daring to transport a single piece of grain. If the insurance regiment dares to transport grain from the disaster area back to the base area. Once it was discovered by the victims, it was a terrible shock. In order to avoid trouble, the insurance group brought its own food, not to eat it in the disaster area. Since the BJP is going to take over these areas, for them, anything that tarnishes their image must be forbidden.

The fleet of the water detachment has special prisoner boats, and the converted canopy boats have divided cages, and the conditions are not too bad. All enemies need to be eliminated in a planned way, and Chen Ke really has no intention of killing the landlord family. At the same time, Chen Ke was not prepared to let the landlords stay in the local area, so that the newly opened areas need to be on guard at all times.

The class struggle has always been very cruel, and the landed landlords and families who have been caught in various places have been sent to the base areas for centralized management. These influential people were forcibly concentrated, and the possibility of private rebellion by the common people was greatly reduced. These former heroes have been arrested, and those in the enclosure will remain quiet for the time being, no matter what they want.

The flotilla was carrying the captives that afternoon. The captives were held in cramped cages, completely unaware of what the world was like outside. However, the escort personnel of the insurance group cannot be so taken lightly. The men on the bow of the ship were far-sighted, ready to spot suspicious signs.

The commander of this operation was the trainee platoon commander of the 4th platoon of the 1st Regiment, 1st Battalion, 2nd Company, and 4th Platoon. Under Chen Ke's personal orders, the Japanese revolutionary was finally temporarily removed from his work at the farm. Comrade Umegawa was assigned to work in the canal detachment. Even though the fighters of the Canal Detachment received enough compulsory education, there was still a shortage of comrades with high school education like Umegawa. Moreover, Umegawa served as the director of the breeding farm, and his subordinates were also in charge of dozens of people, and they should be company-level cadres in terms of rank, but because they had no combat experience, they were appointed to the position of trainee platoon commander and undertook the work of fleet transportation scheduling.

Umegawa was not happy or disappointed because of the job transfer, he just didn't understand what Chen Kewei was doing. However, the orders of the party organization cannot be disobeyed. And Umegawa didn't have time to think about it so much. The many regulations of the fleet made him devote all his attention to understanding them. Mei Chuan, who went to high school, has enough knowledge, and Mei Chuan is only a dispatcher, and there are special personnel in charge of the actual work. What Umegawa needs is to give instructions and be held accountable for those orders. So Mei Chuan's psychological pressure is extremely high.

The first two days were peaceful, but in the middle of the night on the third day, a fleet suddenly appeared ahead. The fleet was quite large, and the night guard reported that there was no end to the fleet. It stands to reason that the only insurance group that can use a fleet of this size on the current Huai River is the insurance group, but the security regulations require vigilance at all times. The vigilant personnel immediately notified the dispatch chief of the small fleet, Mei Chuan.

Umegawa was on duty in the cabin at this time, and the captives already knew that they were going to be taken to the lair of the "bandits". Although I was very scared in my heart, since I had spent so much effort to take myself away, I would not kill myself immediately. Otherwise, the boat will be able to move halfway through. It was night, and the captives were either begging the guards during the day, or simply talking to each other, and they were tired after all. In the second half of the night, I finally fell asleep, or wilted. Umegawa took advantage of this time to take the flotilla's regulations and recite them silently.

Hearing the news, he hurriedly got on the bow of the boat. Looking at the dark shadow of the ship in the dark night in the distance, Umegawa, who had no combat experience at all, immediately felt nervous. After searching for the regulations in his mind, before he could give the order to release the signal fireworks, two flames had already flashed on the last ship of the opposite fleet.

"Who are you?" The signalman of the fleet translated the signal conveyed by the opposite ship through the flag language.

"Is it our own fleet?" Umegawa asked in disbelief. The flotilla of the insurance regiment is now scattered along the entire Huai River, how can such a large fleet suddenly come out.

"Dispatch chief, who would use such a signal except for our troops?" The signalman was unimpressed by Umegawa's excessive concern.

"Be careful." Umegawa had never participated in a real battle, and he was suddenly entrusted with such an important job, and the psychological pressure was extremely high. I want everything to be safe. "Tell them that we are the ships of the water detachment. And ask whose troops they are. ”

The signalman lit the light inside the glass enclosure and then typed out Umegawa's instructions.

After a long time, the fleet over there replied, "We are a fleet directly under the Party Central Committee, and we can't tell you the number." Our fleet is slow, you need to overtake, please keep left. ”

For this signal, Mei Chuan and the signalman were confused. This dialogue really shows that the other party is a unit of the People's Party, but everyone never imagined that someone would dare to say that he is a "unit directly under the Party Central Committee." This tone is a bit excessive. The troops directly under the Party Central Committee now have only a small garrison. The other troops are all subordinate to the Military Commission, what kind of mystery are these people making about?

The doubts in my heart are doubts, but everyone really needs to hurry back to the base area. The sidelights of the overtaking march were lit, and the small fleet commanded by Umegawa began to overtake the march. A long line of lights soon appeared on the Huai River. Candles burn inside the newly produced glass windproof lampshade in the base. In addition to the guards, the other cadres and fighters of the Meichuan fleet who needed to go to the side of the ship were all on deck. To their shock, there were hundreds of lights in the glass cover, which continued for several miles. This is a fleet that has always been huge. There were thirty ships, to say the least. The sides of each ship were pressed close to the water, and it was evident that they were full of cargo. On the mast and bow of the ship, there are regimental flags of the insurance regiment and dragon flags of the Manchu Anhui New Army. The deck was filled with heavily armed soldiers of the Insurance Regiment. Although I can't see it clearly at night, many of them are also somewhat familiar.

"Dispatcher, I shouldn't have seen these ships." The signal soldier whispered beside Mei Chuan.

"Haven't you seen it?" Umegawa asked suspiciously, "Then where did these ships come from?" ”

"One-five, one-ten, these ships are very new...... fifteen, twenty. The ships are very old...... "The signalman had good eyesight, and as he continued to overtake the strange fleet, he counted and evaluated the strange fleet. It was a long time before the fleet, which was a mixture of new and old, was left behind, and according to discipline, the lights of the two fleets were extinguished almost simultaneously.

"Dispatcher, this should be a new ship, our water detachment has a new ship!" There was irrepressible excitement in the signalman's voice. Umegawa was able to understand the signals man's emotions, and with more ships, he had more power. One of the reasons why the insurance regiment was able to rapidly expand its strength after the flood was that it had the largest and only organized fleet on the Huai River. In the absence of an opponent, the insurance regiment transported supplies and mobilized troops. became the overlord on the Huai River. The expansion of the fleet size can greatly enhance the strength of the insurance group. As long as it is a military man, it is impossible not to be happy when he learns that a new ship has joined. Perhaps Umegawa has only been in the fleet for a short time, and has limited interest in a fleet of this size. He was more curious about what the fleet was carrying.

"With their speed, when will they be able to reach Fengtai?" Umegawa asked the signalman.

"Well, it's going to have to be the morning after tomorrow." The signalman replied.
