Returning to the station, Gao Yuan picked up the topographic map he had just drawn and looked at it, Gao Yuan knew very well that the current Wang family compound was like a military fortress, if he attacked head-on, he would not play a big role at all with the four mortars in the regiment, and would only increase the casualties of the troops, and if there were big casualties because of the attack on a landlord's estate, the brigade commander would definitely shoot himself after going back. Thinking of the fact that his brigade commander loved his soldiers like a son, Gao Yuan did not dare to fight hard.

Sneak attack at night, it is even more impossible, maybe because Wang Mazi knows that he has done too many bad things, he is afraid that someone will find himself at night to take revenge, the sentry at night is arranged a lot, and the entire wall is illuminated brightly, and there is no way to hide people, let alone sneak attack, just with a few light machine guns in a few turrets, he can't stand it.

"Commissar, what do you think?" Gao Yuan cast an inquiring glance at Chen Dazhong, the political commissar next to him.

"I can't help it, I can't attack by force, the casualties are too great, the sneak attack can't be done, their guard at night is too strict." Political Commissar Chen Dazhong shook his head.

The two remained silent. Suddenly, the chief of staff of the regiment headquarters scolded, "Dog Han Annihilation, Lao Tzu and his son are not good things." Gao Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and was about to criticize the chief of staff, when suddenly, an idea appeared in his mind.

"Political commissar, you said that Wang Mazi has never seen him." Gao Yuan asked the commissar.

"Regiment commander, his son is the leader of the puppet army squadron in Pingding County, I think he should have seen it." The commissar replied inexplicably.

"Then you say that Wang Mazi is afraid of devils." Takahara continued to ask.

"Commander, isn't this nonsense, I am now the master of him and his son, how can there be a slave who is not afraid of the master." After speaking, he looked at the head of the regiment next to him with a puzzled face.

"Hehe, since Wang Mazi is afraid of devils, then we have a way. Chief of Staff Zhou, you go to the baggage company to see how many military uniforms and equipment there are in our regiment, I can use it. ”

After listening to the regiment commander's words, the political commissar was stunned for a moment, but suddenly, he seemed to wake up, and said happily: "Regiment commander, this is really a good way, maybe we will easily clean up Wang Mazi in this way, and there are no casualties ourselves, so I will lead the team." The commissar immediately began to seize the main task.

"No, I'm the military director, I'll lead the team." Hearing that the political commissar wanted to compete with him for the task, Gao Yuan immediately objected.

"No, you are the military director, and you can't leave the main force." The commissar found a good reason to say.

The head of the regiment, Gao Yuan, shook his head helplessly, "Okay then." I won't go, but you can't go either, so let the commander of the first battalion lead the team, I think he is short, not much different from the size of this officer. ”

In this way, the equipment of the whole regiment was collected, and a total of 200 troops were equipped with more than one company, looking at the strength of a squadron of the army in front of him, Gao Yuan smiled, "It seems that the skin of the devil is still quite effective."

In this way, Chen Guang, the commander of the first battalion, wore a military uniform with the rank of Shaozuo, stepped on the command knife of the army, rode on the war horse of the regiment commander, and swaggered on the highway from Shiyu Town to Pingding County, and the 200 soldiers behind carried rifles, crooked handles, and grenadiers with good bayonets, and walked towards Xizhuang in the distance with neat steps.

A gunner guarding the entrance of the village, when he saw the Huang Jun soldiers coming from afar, his legs were weak in fright, and he hurriedly ran to the Wang family compound to report to Wang Mazi.

"Sir, sir, a pair of imperial soldiers came outside, there were two hundred of them, walking towards the village, and now it is estimated that they are about to reach the entrance of the village.

The gunner gasped and spoke to Wang Mazi, who was about to eat.

"What, Imperial soldiers, do you see clearly?" Wang Mazi said excitedly.

"Well, you can see clearly, those soldiers have bayonets on the walls, and the reverse light is so dazzling." The gunner nodded his head again and again.

"Let's go, follow me to meet the commander of the imperial army who has come from afar." With that, Wang Mazi walked out of the door. It was followed by a line of a dozen gunners.

From a distance, he saw a group of imperial soldiers walking towards his house, and Wang Mazi hurriedly greeted him.

"Hello sir, I am the landlord of this village, I don't know if Your Excellency the Imperial Army needs help here, and I will do my best to do it." As soon as Wang Mazi went up, he was flattering, which made Chen Guang feel a chill, held back his anger look, and nodded to the instructor who was dressed as a translator next to him.

"You are the landlord of this village, I heard that your son is now the captain of the Pingding County, yes, this is Nakamura Shaozuo, who was ordered to carry out a mission, just passing by this village, and before he had lunch, he thought of you" The instructor said to Wang Mazi, who was full of flattery.

"The imperial army came to my house for dinner, and my Wang Mazi felt extremely honored, sir, please come to my house to speak." With that, he took Chen Guang and his party to walk home, and it was very easy, and the Eighth Route Army, which was fully armed with two hundred people, was all in this fortress. Chen Guang gestured with his hand, and everyone quietly loaded the guns in their hands.

Wang Mazi enthusiastically led Chen Guang and a few generals to the lobby, Chen Guang saw that the entire lobby, except for Wang Mazi, there was only one housekeeper left, and quickly seized this favorable opportunity, suddenly pulled out his pistol, "bang" a shot, hit the roof, the instructor next to him grabbed Wang Mazi next to him, pointed a gun at his head.

"Sir, what's going on, tell the Imperial Army quickly, I'm a good citizen!" Seeing the pistol fixed on top of his head, Wang Mazi broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly begged the instructor.

"Hehe, let's go, tell you, we are the Eighth Route Army led by [***], and now that you have been captured, if you want to live. Tell your men to put down all their guns. The instructor dragged Wang Mazi, whose legs were trembling, to the courtyard and shouted to the gunners with guns: "Brothers, we are not devils, we are the Eighth Route Army, and we are a team that specializes in fighting devils, I know that many of you are threatened by Wang Mazi, so they gave him the door to protect the courtyard, and now Wang Mazi has been arrested, I hope you will not make senseless sacrifices, if you are a man, follow me to join the army to fight devils, don't follow Wang Mazi as a Han annihilation." The instructor said loudly.

Slowly, some of the gunners confronting the fighters lowered their guns. "Sir, put down the gun, can you let us go back?" A voice came from the gunner.

This brother, as I just said, as long as you are not a Han annihilation, we will never embarrass you, those who want to join the army can join the Eighth Route Army, and those who want to go home must let you go home. Hearing the instructor's affirmative answer, gradually those gunners slowly put down the guns in their hands, and soon, all the personnel put down their weapons and surrendered, while Wang Mazi and several gunners were arrested by Chen Guang and locked up alone in the opinion house.

Soon, the regiment commander rushed to the compound with the main force, looked at the small pile of weapons and ammunition in front of him, and then looked at the intact soldiers, the regiment commander and the political commissar smiled.

"Quick, communicator, report to the brigade commander and ask the brigade commander to send the baggage battalion over to transport supplies." After speaking, he walked to the inner courtyard with the political commissar, and under the leadership of a housekeeper with a slightly better attitude, Gao Yuan first came to the granary, opened the door, and saw the right old high grains in front of him. "Oh my god, how much food is there!" A chief of staff said with a big mouth.

"Sir, this is the account book of the granary, and there are a total of 1.2 million catties of grain in several granaries." The housekeeper next to him hurriedly handed an account book to Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan didn't look at it, and threw it to a staff officer, "Let's make a unified count in a while, Steward Wang, is there anything else besides food?" Gao Yuan looked at the butler.

"Report sir, there are pigs and horses in the back. Sheep, with a ledger in the back. Then, the plateau was completely subdued, and the landlord of a village had so much grain, which was enough for himself to eat for half a year.

Gao Yuan sat on a chair in the lobby, looked at Wang Mazi, whose legs were trembling below, and smiled, "Wang Mazi, since you have become a Han Anniversary, you should know what will happen, if you perform well, maybe you will have a way back, now I ask you, where is your money and ammunition hidden?" ”

Looking at Wang Mazi, who had been silent, Gao Yuan waved his hand and took it down, he knew, no matter how much he asked, he couldn't ask any result, Gao Yuan came to Wang Mazi's bedroom and began to rummage through the cabinets, and then came to the forbidden place of the Wang family compound, Wang Mazi's study, and began to look for it seriously.

Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and when I held a squatting Buddha statue in the right hand of the plateau, I suddenly felt as if the Buddha statue was fixed, and the plateau held the Buddha statue tightly, and a bookshelf next to it began to move slowly.

"Commissar, commissar." The commissar walked into the kitchen, saw a hole in the wall, suddenly thought of something, and laughed happily.

After the statistics of the two of them, there were 1 million silver dollars, 32 catties of gold, and several boxes of bullets and grenades. "Hehe, political commissar, we're getting rich this time." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

In this way, with the help of the soldiers, the political commissar gathered all the old and young in the whole village, talked about the policy of our army, and in front of everyone, shot Wang Mazi and others, and the people were excited, and then, all the land deeds were burned, and the masses were mobilized to distribute Wang Mazi's property and grain, so that the villagers could elect the village head, and the whole incident was carried out vividly, and the enthusiasm of the masses was suddenly stimulated, looking at the white flour and rice in their hands, many people began to kneel down to the soldiers.

In the same way, great progress has been made in the mobilization of prisoners on the plateau, and many of those prisoners chose to stay and join the army when they saw the policy of the Eighth Route Army and the enthusiasm for the common people, and the plateau selected 200 qualified soldiers from among them, and with the help of the village chiefs, the first self-defense armed forces in the base area were established, and two cadres were removed from the regiment headquarters to serve as commanders, and the captured weapons were distributed to them

After a busy day, a few people returned to the command bar and sorted out the situation and reported it to the brigade headquarters. When Liu Hua saw the results of the Second Regiment, he praised it again and again. In addition, the name of the Xizhuang Self-Defense Force was changed to the First Reading Battalion of the Reading Brigade, and several cadres from the teaching team were dispatched to report.
