In order not to disturb the villagers, Meng Qingshan only set up the headquarters in the village, and arranged the troops to a corner of the mountain and ordered them to take tools to open up their own camps.

Next to the fighters is a group of young children in the village following these uncles in front of them running around, some children accidentally fell down and cried, at this time a fighter who was building a house came to the front and took out the jerky from his arms and handed it to the crying young child, so that he stopped crying, which made the villagers who came back from hunting see and felt that the old village chief was right This group of troops is really a benevolent and righteous army, it is really a team of ordinary people as they said, help them heal, help them build houses and send rice, In less than a few days, the villagers in the village gradually accepted this team, because they knew that this was a good team that fought devils and loved the people, unlike the original Northeast Army, which ran away as soon as they encountered devils.

"Political commissar, I heard from the old village chief that half of the grain harvested this year was soon looted by the little devil's grain collection team, and now the people in the whole village have no food for the winter.

"Well, I agree, just like that, I asked the logistics department to distribute a bag of flour to each family, and a few boxes of Japanese canned food, although I can't give more, but it also represents a little bit of our heart."

Well, that's it, do it right away, so.

At first, the people in the village did not dare to come out and hid in their own houses, and some dared to quietly open the door through a crack in the door to look outside, they found that there was actually a force in the village, thinking that it was a Japanese army, and they were very shocked, but the flag at the head of the army was not like the Japanese sun flag, but a flag that was all red and composed of five yellow five-pointed stars, they had never heard of or seen such a flag, when they saw it and hurriedly retracted it, and after a while, they did not find danger and opened the door to continue to observe, They don't know what this army is doing here, there is nothing worth looting in their small village, the valuable things at home are food, this army will not collect grain again, the men in the family are holding hunting knives, bows and arrows, old sleeves and other hunting weapons, ready to fight with them once these soldiers break in, the remaining food in the family does not know if it can survive the spring of the next year, if it is taken away, the old and young will be starved to death.

Soon they heard someone approaching the door of their house, the pillars of each house clenched the weapon in their hands and did not dare to make a sound, behind them were women with wooden sticks in their hands, ready to fight to the death, and the hunting dogs next to them seemed to know the danger and obediently followed their masters, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, the men gritted their teeth and stared at the door tightly, and the sweat slowly dripped from the top of their heads to the ground.

"Bell, bell, is anyone home?"

"The knocking sound made the people in the door very surprised, every time the Japanese army search team kicked the door, why did they knock on the door today.

"Master Jun, our family has already handed over the grain." The man stumbled.

"Fellow, you misunderstood, I'm not a devil's grain collection team, we are the Communist Party's anti-Japanese federation, specializing in fighting little devils."

"Anti-Union, I know, but what are you doing at my house, my family's food has been taken away by the little devils, and there is no food for you."

"Fellow, you misunderstood, our commander heard that you had just been taken away by the Japanese army's grain collection team for a large amount of grain for the winter, so he ordered us to send you a belt of flour and some Japanese canned food for you to spend the winter."

Soon, the originally lifeless small mountain village was full of laughter, you must know that this was very difficult to see at that time, in the face of the bags of flour sent by the soldiers, boxes of canned food, many villagers were moved to cry, and even some people knelt down, and it didn't take long to see a group of people walking towards the headquarters. The person at the head is Li Hu, the head of the village.

Looking at everyone's excited expressions, Meng Qingshan hurriedly greeted him with the political commissar. When Li Hu saw Meng Qingshan and the others coming towards him, he immediately knelt in front of them, and the villagers who followed behind had to pile up in front of Meng Qingshan and the others one after another. Seeing the appearance of the villagers, Meng Qingshan vaguely knew the reason.

Meng Qingshan and the political commissar and others dared to pick up and support Li Hu and others who wanted to kneel. "Old village chief, what are you doing, stand up and say anything, our Communist Party is not willing to kneel, hurry up and let the villagers get up." Meng Qingshan said anxiously.

Finally, with the efforts of everyone in the headquarters, the villagers kneeling outside the headquarters stood up, and Li Hu led several elders from his village into the temporary headquarters with the support of Meng Qingshan and others.

"Benefactor, Commander Meng, I have grown so big, I have never seen such a good team, not only do not oppress the people, but also give the people food, what a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, I can see such a good team in my life, and I have not lived in vain in this life." Li Hu said excitedly as soon as he entered the door, at first he agreed to this team to enter the village because he knew that this team was a fighter against the United Nations, you must know that the people in the Anti-United Nations are very complex and have poor discipline, but I didn't expect that the discipline of this team is very strict, and they speak and be kind to the people, and everyone echoes excitedly.

"Old village chief, you still don't know about our Anti-United Nations, although the predecessor of our Anti-United Nations is the Northeast Volunteer Army, but our Anti-United Nations has strict discipline, our Anti-United Nations is originally our people's team, our team, almost all the soldiers are from the common people, the villagers are suffering, we should help, do these things are what we should. In a moment, let our political commissar tell you about the purpose of our Communist Party, and you will understand. ”

Meng Qingshan said while looking at the expressions of several old men, only to see that they nodded one after another, and at the same time, Meng Qingshan also wanted to take advantage of this to open up the situation, you must know that although there are four regiments after a month of development, but the local people only know that it is a team of devils, but they do not agree very much, Meng Qingshan wants to develop the base area and build a base area, so he needs to unite with the local people to fight the enemy together

"Commander Meng, old man, I want to ask, do you want to live here or take a break and leave?" Li Hu looked at Meng Qingshan with a blank look and asked.

"Old village chief, we are stationed here this time, and we will not leave, and we will fight the devil to the end." Chen Hu said on the side.

Seeing Meng Qingshan nodded, Li Hu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Commander Meng, don't you know that these years have been stationed in the town since the little devil came here, and he just started to send people to propagate that Great Japan came to help us build East Asia Co-prosperity, I'm sorry!" In less than a week, their ugly mentality was exposed, and they came to our village to rob and plunder, originally there were more than 200 households in our small village, but now it has become less than 100 households, these are all caused by little devils, we knew that the Anti-Japanese Federation was fighting devils in the past few years, and we have been looking forward to your arrival, but then we heard that you were defeated, and now that you have come to my Lijiazhuang, as long as we can do it in Lijiazhuang, we will do it with our lives, I don't know if Commander Meng needs help. ”

After listening to Li Hu's grateful words, Meng Qingshan was secretly happy in his heart, "Old village chief, don't worry, as long as we are in one day, we will never let the little devils harm the villagers." ”
