Chapter Thirty-Six: I'd rather die in battle than kneel to live
The situation in the village is much better than Liu Changfeng imagined, there are dirt roads, there are also some bluestone roads, the houses are scattered among the bamboo forests, the walls are made of mud, and the roofs are covered with earthen kiln tiles burned by the villagers themselves. On the road, people greeted Qin Sihai from time to time, Qin Sihai enthusiastically introduced Liu Changfeng and them, and the children looked at Liu Changfeng curiously and a few uninvited guests.
Qin Sihai led everyone all the way to a room, smiled at everyone, and said, "Everyone, this is my home, come in."
Everyone raised their heads and saw a lot of bacon hanging on the wall outside the house, Qin Sihai said proudly: "This is what I hunted with Xiaobao, and I couldn't finish eating, so I made bacon."
While he was talking, a man in his fifties came out of the room, with a face full of vicissitudes of life, tall and tall, quite imposing when he walked, and smiled slightly when he saw Qin Sihai and Liu Changfeng and others.
"Dad, this is a friend I met on the road, and they're not Japanese." Qin Sihai spoke and walked up.
"Xiaobao has already told me, this little brother, girls, I am Qin Jiacheng, the father of the four seas, come in and sit down." Qin Jiacheng smiled honestly.
"Uncle Qin, kid Liu Changfeng, I'm sorry." Liu Changfeng stepped forward with a smile, holding Qin Jiacheng's hand with both hands, and felt a sense of closeness for no reason.
"Uncle Qin is good." Li Rong and several girls also said hello politely.
"Alright, alright, alright, come in." Qin Jiacheng said enthusiastically, and also had an indescribable good impression of these people, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and it doesn't look like an ordinary family.
Although the house was simple, there were still stools, everyone drank some water, Qin Sihai talked about the worries in his heart, Qin Jiacheng was silent for a while, and asked Qin Sihai to invite the old village chief over.
After a while, Qin Sihai came back, followed by a kind old man with a white beard, his steps were steady, his face was full of red light, and his deep eyes flashed with wisdom.
Seeing that the person who came was an elder, Liu Changfeng hurriedly stood up.
"Big guy sit, hehehe." The old man sat down with a smile, obviously an optimistic and open-minded person.
"Old village chief, this is the Liu Changfeng I told you." Qin Sihai said respectfully to the old man.
The old village chief looked at Liu Changfeng with a smile, his deep eyes were deep and full of wisdom, as if he wanted to see through Liu Changfeng's heart.
Liu Changfeng smiled slightly, didn't speak, and quietly waited for the other party to speak.
The old village chief nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Little brother is a talent, extraordinary bearing, he is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and he is very human, my Qinzhuang disaster fell from the sky, whether I can escape this catastrophe, I am afraid that I can only rely on the little brother."
"The old man is polite, you are serious, the boy is afraid." Liu Changfeng said humbly.
"Little brother, how do you think Qin Zhuang can survive this catastrophe this time?" The old village chief asked.
"Fight back and survive in the cracks, so that the village can be safely for at least three months, and after three months, we will think about it in the long run." Liu Changfeng said.
The old village chief's eyes lit up, and he said: "The ambition of the Japanese wolf, the division of tigers and wolves, I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with, even if you persist for one day, it will be difficult, let alone three months, to fight back, I'm afraid it's an egg to hit a stone." What is the opinion of the little brother, I would like to hear it in detail. ”
The Japanese army of North China Front of Tauchi Terachi and the Central China Dispatch Army of Yan Junliu advanced in parallel with the north and south, and wanted to join forces in Taierzhuang, north of Xuzhou, the Japanese were aggressive, and Chairman Chiang was not willing to be captured, and General Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater, led hundreds of thousands of troops and was determined to attack the Japanese invaders, and Chairman Chiang also flew to Taierzhuang, and the determination to resist the enemy can be seen, and the battle will not be able to tell the winner in a few months. At this time, the Japanese probably didn't have too much thought on the small Qinzhuang, at most a small force came to attack, as long as the Japanese did not invade on a large scale, the kid could still deal with it. Liu Changfeng Kaikai talked,
In fact, Liu Changfeng knew that the Chinese army in the Battle of Xuzhou except for Han Fuqu in Shandong, the performance of other armies was remarkable, General Li Zongren learned the lessons of the Songhu War of Resistance and the Battle of Nanjing, and his tactics were flexible and changeable, giving the Japanese a heavy blow, killing 26,000 enemies, although the Battle of Xuzhou still ended in failure, but did not stage the catastrophic consequences of Shanghai and Nanjing, and the troops broke through safely. The Battle of Xuzhou ended in May, and it is now January, so Liu Changfeng will say something that can guarantee that Qinzhuang will be safe for three months.
"Little brother hides the world in his heart, old man admires, but there are more than 200 Japanese soldiers in Wuyi Town, Japanese soldiers are like wolves and tigers, there is no need for thousands of troops, I am afraid that only a hundred or dozens of people, Qinzhuang will no longer exist, what is the best plan for the little brother?" The old village chief said worriedly.
"The best plan now is to organize all the young and middle-aged men in the village to take up arms to defend the country." Liu Changfeng said without hesitation.
"It's just that most of the villagers are honest farmers, so how can they know how to march and fight?" The old village chief said.
"No, as far as I know, there are many hunters in your village who hunt in their spare time, and they all have basic combat skills, and your people here are fierce, take up arms, and if I train them, I may not lose to the few robbers." When Liu Changfeng said this, his tone became fierce and compelling, and a kind of arrogance and arrogance of "the king and the general, rather have a kind of hu" rose to the sky.
"Okay." The old village chief patted his thigh, his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and he said loudly: "Little brother, you have the courage and pride to pull the emperor off the horse, we Qinzhuang people are not a bad breed, both horizontal and vertical are dead, and we will fight with him Japanese."
Suddenly, a kind old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes changed his momentum, his eyes flashed, and his beard and hair were all open, like a generation of heroes who dominated the Quartet, ambitious and imposing.
Liu Changfeng and the others were taken aback, secretly rejoicing in their hearts, they were still worried about the cowardice of the current Chinese people, thinking that it would take a lot of words to persuade them to resist, who knew that the folk customs here were so strong, even an old man with a hanging bun was so strong.
"Old man, well said, I'd rather die in battle than kneel to live, as long as everyone can trust me, I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, although I die without regrets." Liu Changfeng also said proudly.
"My Qinzhuang suffered this unwarranted disaster, and Little Brother Liu fell from the sky, which is really a blessing for my Qinzhuang, and my Qinzhuang is below me, for Little Brother Liu to drive." The old village chief said sincerely.
"Old man, then I'm not hypocritical, now we don't know why those Japanese soldiers appeared here just now, now I implore the old man to tell everyone, keep the news tight, try to delay the Japanese to retaliate, just in case, now the village must send people to observe day and night, at least ten miles away, especially in the direction of Wuyi Town, as soon as the Japanese have any movement, how about it?" Liu Changfeng said.
"Well, there are some carrier pigeons in the old man's house, and now they finally come in handy, and they can be used for flying pigeons." The old village chief nodded.
"That's the best." Liu Changfeng was overjoyed, he was worried about the problem of communication, and this carrier pigeon could temporarily alleviate the urgent need.
