On the other hand, due to the expansion of the army, a large number of recruits have been added, and veterans began to take the recruits to fight in various mountains and bandits' dens, salute first and then soldiers, and are willing to resist the Japanese order to go down the mountain to accept the adaptation, and all the bandits who do not go down the mountain are cleared, so that these bandits who have been the king of the soil for I don't know how many years are bitter, and they have said to each other, "The sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, I am afraid that the fourth master will find my house."

Many of these bandits chose to cooperate with the New Fourth Army, but many chose to fight to the end.

-- Dacaozhuang, Northwest Township, Buning County, Yancheng

Da Cao Zhuang is an ordinary one among the many villages in northern Jiangsu, most of the people here are surnamed Cao, so it is called Da Cao Zhuang, the terrain here is flat, the land is fertile, it is also a land of fish and rice in peacetime, but at this time, it has become a sweet spot in the eyes of bandits and robbers, and everyone wants to take a bite.

"Bang" There was a muffled sound at the door of the largest house in Da Caozhuang, and a group of people walked in, led by a gangster man dressed in coarse cloth clothes, the man shaved his head, his eyes rolled wildly, and before he entered the door, he shouted loudly, "Third brother!" I am back! Damn, it's time for a big job. ”

A strong man who was shirtless and exposed his tendons came out of the house, and scolded the man, "Quarrel with your mother, disturb Lao Tzu's sleep, what kind of work?" ”

One of these two people is nicknamed Cao Sanhu, and the other is called Cao Sihu, these two people are brothers, they turned out to be the bodyguards of a local big landlord's family, the landlord had no children after his death, they divided the landlord's wealth, bought four or five guns, and pulled up a team of bandits. More than ten years have passed, and at this time there are already one or two hundred people, nearly 100 guns, and even three or four light machine guns.

Cao Sihu stepped forward haha, looked at the room and said, "There is no Sister Yao, what are you bothering about?" Third brother, there is really a big job, you also know that now the little devils have been driven away, and now there is a lot of chaos on the ground, don't we take advantage of it? ”

Cao Sanhu smacked his mouth, spat and said, "Fourth, you also know, now the city is full of soldiers, the new Fourth Army worships the mountains everywhere, and wants heroes from all walks of life to listen to them to fight devils together, and those who do business a few days ago have been swept away, not to mention doing business, it is not easy to eliminate frost." ”

Cao Sihu said excitedly, "That's their stupidity, what kind of morality do they talk about when they do this severed business, but they were reported by those people, we don't leave a living mouth this time, this time it's really a big deal!" ”

Cao Sanhu asked curiously, "What kind of business?" Makes you so excited? ”

Cao Sihu said in a low voice, "More than a dozen big cars, all of them are good goods, clothes, food and medicines, how about it?" It's worth at least tens of thousands of oceans! ”

Cao Sanhu asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?" Where did the news come from, don't burn your eyes. ”

Cao Sihu immediately said, "Of course it's certain, not only us, but also Li Dayan in the West Thirty-two and Zhang Ergang in Doushan all want to intervene." This news.... It was Commissioner Liu, and he said that he believed us, so he kept it for us. ”

Hearing Commissioner Liu, Cao Sanhu's eyes were round, and he scolded, "Why did you get mixed up with him?" He is a soldier, we are bandits, he doesn't harm us to have ghosts! Let me tell you, the situation is not clear now, let's stay in Dacaozhuang first, and then move when we see it clearly. ”

Cao Sihu anxiously circled around Cao Sanhu and said, "Third brother, third brother!" Listen to me, this Commissioner Liu is really sincere, look at this, this is what he asked for us, the commander of the third regiment of the second column of the guerrillas behind enemy lines in northern Jiangsu! It's you, third brother! I'm the deputy commander, we won't be bandits in the future, we'll be real national troops, look at it!! ”

Cao Sanhu glanced at Cao Sihu with slanted eyes, took a look at it, and scolded, "You idiot, there is no seal or seal on it, use it as a bird!" ”

Cao Sihu smiled and said, "So we have to eat this sum, Commissioner Liu said, this is our vote, and all the taxes in this Northwest Township will be handed over to us in the future, third brother, as the old saying goes, this murder and arson and other recruitment, aren't you looking forward to it now?" If you don't want to be tempted, you won't have this, but I've heard that the Liu Ergang in these thirty-two rooms, and the Wanjiasheng of Doushan, all want to contact Commissioner Liu... Besides, you also know what the style of the New Fourth Army is, and you won't be allowed to do this, you won't be allowed to do that, and you have to help those mud legs do farm work, if we can do that, what are we going to do with guns? ”

Cao Sanhu thought about it in his heart, and then looked at the brothers below, and saw that their eyes were shining, and he sighed and said, "Brothers, I know that we haven't done anything since March and April, and everyone has no savings, but because of the chaos now, I'm worried about how the brothers will be affected. Today we also vote, if you are willing to do this business, stand on the left, and if you don't want to, stand on the right. ”

The bandits looked at each other, and a somewhat obese bandit smiled embarrassedly, "Third master... That one is left, and that one is right? ”

Cao Sanhu was stunned for a moment, laughed, shook his head and said, "That's it, do the brothers say to do it or not?" ”

The fat bandit immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Do it!" Of course you have to do it! Isn't that what we're doing for this? ”

Cao Sanhu nodded and said, "Okay, fourth, you tell me the specific situation, and we will make this deal!" ”

――

On the highway from Buning to Yancheng, a convoy is walking slowly, and pedestrians can be seen from time to time on the road, this is a transport convoy of the New Fourth Army, on which are some wounded and nurses to be transported back to Buning from Yancheng, as well as medicines, clothing, food, and some ammunition and weapons.

Since all parts of the country had been occupied by the New Fourth Army, this had become a base at this time, so the convoy was only escorted by two squads of soldiers, with an average of one soldier in one vehicle.

Cao Sanhu lay in the field and watched the convoy, slapped Cao Sihu beside him, and scolded: "Didn't you fucking say it was a caravan?" You show Lao Tzu clearly, this is the fucking transport team of the New Fourth Army! ”

Cao Sihu didn't dare to reply, he hurriedly looked, and sure enough, he saw the flag of the New Fourth Army flying high, and he said helplessly, "Commissioner Liu didn't tell me... Third brother, then shall we withdraw or fight? ”

At this time, the convoy stopped, Cao Sanhu saw that it was a car that probably broke down, the soldiers and the horsemen of the transport team were moving the goods on the car down, he could clearly see a box with penicillin written on it, Cao Sanhu was illiterate, and the reason why he knew these three words was because he memorized them by rote after knowing the value of this thing.

Cao Sanhu swallowed his saliva and said, "Damn, this New Fourth Army is really rich, fight!" After this vote, we will go to Xuzhou, Liu Fulong over there is recruiting troops, we will go there to hide! ”

After speaking, Cao Sanhu waved his hand, Cao Sihu smiled and waved his hand to the bandits around him, only to see a bandit violently set off a firework into the sky, only to hear a bang, and the fields around the highway suddenly appeared I don't know how many bandits, some of these bandits are holding rifles, and some are holding big knives and spears. Pounce on the convoy like a pack of hungry wolves.

The guards of the convoy saw the bandits coming, and hurriedly shot and shot, the horsemen and coolies were so frightened that they lay on the ground, and the nurses and the wounded also hurriedly found a place to hide and took out their weapons to shoot back, the passers-by on both sides of the road saw this formation, and immediately knew that there were bandits robbing, so frightened that they hurriedly fled back for their lives, but were ordered by Cao Sanhu to catch and kill the bandits who blocked this at both ends one by one.

The number of bandits was too much, and there were crops in the fields to cover, and the soldiers of the New Fourth Army were at a disadvantage at once, Cao Sanhu saw that he could not fight for a long time, and was worried that the reinforcements of the New Fourth Army would arrive, so he rushed up with a shell gun and shouted, "Brothers, rush!" One head of the New Fourth Army for thirty oceans! ”

Hearing such a high bounty, the bandits were red-eyed and rushed out to shoot at the New Fourth Army, and within a few minutes, the soldiers of the New Fourth Army were killed and wounded.

Cao Sanhu walked on the road, stepping on bloody footprints one by one because of stepping on blood, he looked at a nurse who had been shot and glared at him, smiled, and shot the nurse in the head.

Cao Sihu said regretfully, "Third brother, is this a pity?" ”

Cao Sanhu hated iron and said with hatred, "These are all people who have seen our faces, even if we arrest them, can you guarantee that these people will not escape?" Kill everyone and cut off their heads! I don't want someone to kill someone who is not clean and end up causing trouble! ”

What Cao Sanhu didn't notice was that a child was hiding in a tree at this time and shivering, watching the whole process of the slaughter without saying a word.

-- Headquarters of the New Fourth Army in Yancheng

"Smack!" Chen Yiqi's eyes were about to bulge out, and he turned in a circle and shouted loudly, "Lawless!" Wild! Attack our convoy in broad daylight, kill and wound! Grab supplies! Also cut off the head of the demonstration! How bold they are! ”

At this time, Liu Dake, who came to Yancheng to organize the work together, said: "This matter must be dealt with seriously!" If you don't beat them up, let alone develop the base area, you can't let the people go out with peace of mind! ”

Chen Yi nodded and said, "Yes, we must deal with such a vicious thing seriously, I will immediately transfer a battalion to fight this bandit!" ”

Liu Dake asked, "Do you know who did it?" ”

Chen Yi nodded and said, "There is a clever imp who climbed to the tree and survived, it was done by a gang of bandits named Third Brother Cao and Fourth Brother Cao, and their stronghold is in Da Cao Zhuang!" This group of bandits is a local snake, and many of the people of Dacaozhuang are their relatives, they are familiar with the terrain and are difficult to deal with. ”

Liu Dake said, "No matter how difficult it is, we must defeat it, I think we must build a momentum, fight the grass and surprise the snake, and let the people know our determination, so that we can carry out our mass work." ”

Chen Yi nodded and said, "Listen to you in this regard, just do what you say." ”

-- Da Cao Zhuang

Cao Sanhu was sleeping with a concubine in his arms, and Cao Sihu hurriedly rushed in and shouted, "Third brother! Wake up! Something is wrong!! Run, the New Fourth Army has entered the village! ”

When Cao Sanhu heard the New Fourth Army, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Cao Sihu and asked, "The New Fourth Army is here?" How do they know we did it? ”

Where does Cao Sihu care about this, he pulled Cao Sanhu up and said, "When is it, still care about those, run!" ”

Saying that, Cao Sihu pulled Cao Sanhu and stumbled and ran, and before he reached the entrance of the village, he saw a team of New Fourth Army holding guns and carefully walking towards his side, Cao Sihu quickly stopped and said, "We can't go this way, let's go from the back mountain, where there is a one-person wide path." ”

Cao Sanhu nodded and followed Cao Sihu Queen Mountain, walked to the trail, and suddenly heard a gunshot, Cao Sihu only felt a wood in his thigh, and knew that he had been shot, he hurriedly shouted to Cao Sanhu, "Third brother, run, don't look back!" Run!! ”

Cao Sanhu gritted his teeth when he heard this, and ran away without looking back, but Cao Sihu was tied up to the village square by several New Fourth Army.

"Why are you arresting people? Why are you arresting people?? Lao Tzu is a good citizen!! Cao Sihu shouted loudly, looking at the villagers around him, he glared angrily and scolded, "You ****** all talking, are you all dead?" Tell them that Lao Tzu is a good citizen! ”

"Snap" a commander and fighter of the New Fourth Army slapped Cao Sihu in the face, only making Cao Sihu feel that Venus was spinning.

"Good people will have guns on them? Cao Sihu! We've already figured out what you're all about! You bandit scum, honestly confess, the people can still give you a glimmer of life! Otherwise, it's a dead end!! The officer shouted loudly, and then Cao Sihu found that there were more than forty people squatting in the square, and they were all his subordinates.

Cao Sihu said loudly, "We are all good citizens, and that gun is used for self-defense!" ”

At this time, a team of New Fourth Army brought boxes of goods, and the commanders and fighters of the New Fourth Army pointed to the goods and asked, "How do you explain these?" Why are our goods robbed by bandits in your home? ”

Cao Sihu swallowed his saliva and stopped talking.

The commander snorted and said to the people around him, "Folks!! Do not be afraid! Our New Fourth Army is the people's army! Only fight devils and bandits and robbers! I hope you will stand up bravely! Report these scum of the people! ”

Everyone lowered their heads and did not speak quietly, and some young people wanted to stand up, but they were caught by the old people around them and did not let them speak.

Cao Sihu laughed and said, "Look at it, I said it, I am a good citizen, everyone knows it, if you want everyone to say that I am a bandit, how can everyone say it?" ”

At this time, a trembling old man with a whip stood up, pointed at Cao Sihu and scolded, "Three dogs, you have done a lot of evil, you should have a reward, now that the time has come, why bother to say more!" As he spoke, the old man bowed to the commander, and the commander jumped aside in fright and said, "Old man, don't kill me, I can't afford this gift." ”

The old man smiled and said, "I can afford it, I am the oldest person in our big Caozhuang, when Xianfeng Ye was alive, we were still quite quiet here, and there were not so many disobedient descendants, but boss, this Cao Sihu is my Caojiazhuang's person, and if something is done, it should be handled by our Caojiazhuang, please give the boss a convenience, let me Caojiazhuang ask the family law to discipline him, the boss can rest assured, my Caojiazhuang will definitely give an explanation to the killed soldiers of the Heavenly Army." ”

The commander shook his head and said, "Old man, this is not good, they are violating the law of the country, and naturally the law and the people should be executed." ”

The old man smiled and asked, "Aren't the people of my Caojiazhuang the people?" These people are handed over to our Caojiazhuang to deal with, isn't it for the people to deal with? (To be continued.) )
