This was just a small-scale battle of annihilation, and before the smoke of gunpowder had completely dissipated, Qiao Youhua and the others had cleaned up the battlefield, except for the corpses of thirteen devils, their weapons, ammunition, and even water bottles and backpacks had all become trophies for Qiao Youhua's four people.

One Taisho Type 11 light machine gun, twelve 38 large cover rifles (with bayonets), five Southern Type 14 (Wang 8 box) pistols, 20 melon grenades, and a set of marching maps.

Ammunition, rifle cartridges still have about 1,100 rounds left, and the Japanese army standard is 120 rounds per rifleman6. The 5mm bullet, after the shot just now, consumed about a tenth.

There are 250 rounds of pistol bullets, and the most aggrieved thing should be the devil's crooked machine gun, a full 300 rounds of ammunition, a lot of one round.

After listening to Wu Ming's statistical report, Qiao Youhua couldn't help but nod slightly, "With these, we have also accumulated some original capital." The cross-era weapons and ammunition we carry are limited and should be reserved for use when they are most needed, but these Japanese-style weapons can be used with confidence, because as long as there are devils, there will be supplements. ”

In the battle just now, Qiao Youhua, Ma Biao, and Wu Ming almost all ran out of half of their magazines, and each of them only had nine and a half magazines left, this kind of 5. The 8mm bullets, if they run out now, there is really no place to replenish them.

So after listening to Qiao Youhua's words, Jiang Haidong and the three of them all nodded in agreement.

Qiao Youhua picked up a Type 38 rifle from the ground, pulled the bolt and said in a form of aiming: "Yes, these little devils' Type 38 rifles are all new guns, and the shooting accuracy is not bad, the fly in the ointment is that the lethality is smaller, but it is also okay." ”

Jiang Haidong and the others are also masters of playing with guns, and they each took one and played with it: "Boss, don't say it, this kind of manual rifle is fun to play." ”

Suddenly, Jiang Haidong noticed the abnormality, and quickly raised the 38 big cover in his hand and aimed at the sorghum field behind Qiao Youhua and shouted: "Who? Come out? As a sniper, his vigilance is second only to Qiao Youhua, and he is very sensitive.

Qiao Youhua heard a strange noise behind him a little earlier than him, and pressed Jiang Haidong's 38 rifle with a smile: "Don't be nervous, it's the villagers here." ”

After speaking, Qiao Youhua turned around and shouted to the sorghum field: "Miss Yu'er, come out, don't be afraid, these are my comrades-in-arms, and the Japanese devils have all been killed by us." ”

"Miss Yu'er?" Jiang Haidong, Wu Ming, and Ma Biao looked at each other in confusion.

I saw the sorghum swaying, and a beautiful young girl who couldn't help but feel her heart pounding walked out, and the original shabby clothes on her body instantly became good-looking, especially the towering peak on her chest, which added a lot of points to her.

The three of them looked at Yu'er, who was a little shy, and Qiao Youhua, who was smiling, and they all showed their understanding, and said in their hearts, the boss is worthy of being the boss, and he hooked up with such a beautiful country girl just after crossing, which is really envious, jealous and hateful.

What the three brothers think Qiao Youhua didn't know, but he still introduced: "Miss Yu'er, let me introduce you, these are my three subordinates and brothers, Wu Ming, Ma Biao, and Jiang Haidong." ”

The three of them immediately responded with a solemn expression of respect for the future sister-in-law, and straightened up in response.

"Oh, strong man, strong man, you have worked hard!" Qiao Youhua and the others turned around, only to see a large group of people pouring out of the village at some point, including men and women, old and young, and the one who spoke was an old man with a cane and a white beard.

When Xu Yu'er saw the old man, she hurriedly shouted: "Grandpa! "Trotted over.

The corpses of the Japanese soldiers everywhere made the villagers who came over more or less afraid, but they still came to Qiao Youhua and the four under the leadership of the old man.

"Xu Youcai, the head of the village in Xiaben, has witnessed all the things just now, thanks to the four strong men who are so brave and good at fighting, otherwise the old and young of this village will suffer, dare to ask which part of the soldiers are the four strong men?" Xu Youcai asked.

Qiao Youhua stepped forward and said kindly: "Uncle, the Japanese invaded my territory and killed my compatriots, but all my Chinese men will be punished, my four brothers were originally students studying in Europe and the United States, and they couldn't bear to sit back and watch the nation suffer, so they gave up their studies and returned to the country to kill the enemy. ”

Ma Biao and Jiang Haidong secretly slandered in their hearts, the boss deserves to be the boss, this lie really comes with his mouth open, and he doesn't blush.

"Oh, oh!" Xu Youcai was quite satisfied with Qiao Youhua's answer, he knew that there were some things that could be said and some things that could not be said in the early years, so he would no longer discuss this issue deeply, after all, as long as he was willing to kill Little Japan, he was a good Chinese man who stood up to the sky.

"The strong men have worked hard, thank you for not giving up, please go into the village with the old man to drink water and wine, have a light meal, and have a good rest. It also gives the elders of the village a chance to repay the heroes for saving their lives! Xu Youcai immediately shook his hands.

Qiao Youhua was really hungry and thirsty, and he was no longer polite, and turned to Jiang Haidong and the others: "Haidong, you are responsible for disposing of the devil's corpse, and then enter the village." ”

After thinking about it, Qiao Youhua added: "By the way, take off the devil's military uniform and military boots, maybe we can use it in the future." ”

The three of them happily agreed, and the village chief Xu Youcai arranged for more than a dozen young people to help, and he brought other villagers to welcome Qiao Youhua into the village.

Qiao Youhua was taken to the village chief's house, three earthen houses, and the courtyard surrounded by low earthen walls was crowded with men, women and children at the moment, and some naughty children even climbed the top of the earthen wall, looking at Qiao Youhua, who was regarded as a great benefactor, with a strange face.

Xu Youcai eagerly invited Qiao Youhua into his hall and sat down, "Strong man, please wait." ”

He also instructed his granddaughter Xu Yu'er: "Yu'er, go and pour tea for the strong man!" ”

Yu'er's face was slightly red, and she glanced at Qiao Youhua, and went to prepare boiling water.

Not long after, Ma Biao, Wu Ming and Jiang Haidong also finished the work of burying the corpses and "peeling the skins" and came to the village chief's courtyard, where the villagers had already prepared a long bench for them.

Yu'er got a pot of boiling water, and went to the kitchen with a few warm-hearted women and aunts to cook for Qiao Youhua and them.

There was no teacup, so the village chief Xu Youcai personally poured a bowl of boiling water for Qiao Youhua and each of them with a porcelain bowl, and said "please".

Qiao Youhua and the four of them took the tea bowl and thanked them one after another.

"I don't know what the four strong men are called?" Xu Youcai looked at Qiao Youhua and the four of them with blazing eyes.

Qiao Youhua took a sip and secretly said to himself: It's so hot.

"Uncle, the next surname is Qiao, the name is Youhua, and the three of them are, Ma Biao, Wu Ming, and Jiang Haidong." Qiao Youhua introduced.

"Qiao Youhua, bless me China, Ling Zun is really well-intentioned to give you this name!" Xu Youcai couldn't help but praise.

"I don't know what you're going to do next, Qiao Zhuangshi?" Xu Youcai asked.

Qiao Youhua put down the tea bowl and said righteously: "Don't hide it from the old man, now that the Japanese invaded, the mountains and rivers were broken, and countless compatriots were devastated, the four of us brothers are determined to kill the enemy and serve the country, and we are determined to unite like-minded people to organize to fight against the Japanese invaders and protect our homeland." ”

"Okay, he deserves to be a good man who stands up to the sky. However, almost all of Hebei was occupied by the Japanese, not to mention far away, even the county seat has fallen into the hands of the Japanese soldiers, where do you plan to develop? Xu Youcai said thoughtfully.

"Boss, I think it's good here, you see, this Zheng Village is adjacent to the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain, the mountains are high and densely forested, and it is far away from the transportation arteries such as railways and highways, as well as the large and medium-sized cities occupied by the Japanese, and other spheres of influence, which is suitable for us to settle down and develop now." Four-eyed Wu Ming suddenly interjected.

"I also think this place is good, and we just killed a small group of devils here, it is difficult to guarantee that the Japanese will not come to search for revenge, we will stay on the spot to form anti-Japanese forces, and we can also protect the safety of our compatriots here." Sniper Jiang Haidong nodded approvingly.

Qiao Youhua was a little moved, at the moment they are not familiar with the place, compared to rushing to other places, this is also a bit of a mass base?

So he looked at the village chief Xu Youcai.

Xu Youcai was worried about the comfort of the village, and was about to keep Qiao Youhua and them staying, so he hurriedly took the initiative to say: "Qiao Zhuangshi, if you are willing to stay, the people of this village really can't ask for it, and I will definitely go all out to support you."

If you don't have enough manpower, I can also go to a few nearby friendly neighboring villages to help you publicize the propaganda, in this radius of one or twenty miles, the old man's words still have some weight. ”

"Since this is the case, then we will stay, and we may have to trouble the old man and the elders of the village more in the future!" Qiao Youhua said.

"Don't bother, don't bother, with you here, the local fathers and elders will not be harmed by the devils, we should be grateful to you!" Xu Youcai said happily.
