The courtyard of the Zhou family has become a pot of porridge.

Zhou Peel's aunts and wives were all busy cleaning up the gold and silver in their own rooms, and the maids and servants in each room were also rummaging through the cabinets, as well as the horsemen, men, and long-term workers in the backyard also came to take advantage of the chaos to rub oil, Zhou Peel was so angry that his beard trembled, and he poked the ground again and again with a stick, but no one paid attention to him anymore.

This kind of big family maintained by authority, once the "powerful" shell is smashed, the weak nature will be immediately exposed, and the family that originally looked extremely powerful will fall apart in an instant, so Xu Shijiu dared to boast that only one bullet and one shell were enough to defeat the Zhou family.

The only long-term Sui Zhou Qi, who was loyal to Zhou Peeling, rushed out of the study with a small box, which contained all the land deeds, land deeds, and the deeds of sale of the servants of the Fushang Ring, as well as the promissory notes deposited in various banks in Shanghai.

Zhou Peeling asked Zhou Qi to hold the small box tightly, turned around and walked to the backyard, under a rockery in the backyard, there was a tunnel leading directly to the outside of the Zhou family's compound, which was secretly dug by Zhou Peeling to escape at a critical moment, but the master and servant had just turned around, and a horseman who rushed out of the side courtyard collided with Zhou Qi.

"Whoa." The small box fell to the ground, the lid was opened, and the land deeds, title deeds, deed of sale, bank cashier's checks, some gold, silver, jewelry, ocean fiat currency and something were suddenly sprinkled on the ground, and more than a dozen long-term workers, men, and grooms nearby suddenly saw their eyes lit up, and rushed up like a swarm.

Zhou Qi rushed up to try to stop him, but was knocked to the ground.

Zhou Peeling was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again, usually the old thing stomped his feet and even the entire Qiaotou Town had to tremble, but now no one paid attention to him at all, seeing that the income he had scavenged all his life was divided up by these poor ghosts, Zhou Peeling was so angry that he vomited blood, and he didn't care about old age and decay at the moment, and he had to fight with these people when he rushed up.

Ten minutes later, Xu Shijiu, Gao Shenxing, and He Keqi were already standing on the fortress wall of the Zhou family's compound.

At this time, more than 100 members of the Zhou family compound had been imprisoned in a small courtyard, and more than 100 guerrillas had taken over the entire compound.

Soon the guerrillas came to report that they had caught Zhou and skinned him, and He Keqixing hurried away.

There were only two people left on the fort wall, Xu 19 and Gao Shenxing, and Gao Shenxing said to Xu 19: "Captain, is the guerrilla fighting brighter than the national army?" Let me tell you, the battle the day before yesterday was fought even brighter, and the time I joined the 19th Brigade was not short, but I had never fought such an open battle. ”

"I'll admit it, it's a bright battle." Xu Shijiu nodded honestly, but immediately changed his tone and continued, "However, Shen Xing has thought about it, no matter how bright such a small fight is, it will not be able to defeat Little Japan, if there is no national army on top, it will be difficult for the communist guerrillas to have a living space, and they will have a hard time."

"That's right." Gao Shenxing also admitted that Xu Shijiu's words were reasonable.

Xu Shijiu said again: "Shen Xing, you are a student of Mr. Jiang Baili, you should have systematically studied his theory of national defense, right?" ”

Gao Shenxing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have no interest in strategy, and the teacher has never taught me anything about strategy, he only teaches me specific tactics." ”

"Then you just entered Baoshan and returned empty-handed, it's a pity." Xu Shijiu said, "Mr. Jiang Baili's theory of national defense actually boils down to two purposes, in the early stage of the Sino-Japanese War, to exchange space for time, and constantly consume the vitality of the Japanese army, and after the Sino-Japanese War formed a stalemate, and then from the front and behind the enemy lines to continuously weaken the Japanese army, and when the Japanese army is weakened to a certain extent, then gather all Liliang to launch a strategic counteroffensive. ”

Gao Shen said: "Now, it's almost a stalemate, right?" ”

"It's still early." Xu Shijiu shook his head and sighed, "Due to Jiang's strategic mistakes, the vast geographical space in North China and East China was sacrificed, and it was also fought for several months, but the strategic goal of consuming the survival of the Japanese army was not achieved at all, whether it was in North China or East China, the Japanese army did not suffer decisive losses." ”

Gao Shenxing said: "Captain, do you mean that the Japanese army will continue to launch an offensive next?" ”

"That's inevitable, there's no doubt about it." Xu Shijiu said, "Although Little Japan is only an island country with poor resources, it is far from exhaustion, and the Japanese army will not only continue to launch an offensive, but the offensive will be more fierce, and the scale of the battle will be further expanded. ”

Gao Shenxing was silent, and now he knew that Xu Nineteen insisted on going back.

Xu 19 sighed: "I don't have a good impression of the Kuomintang, and I don't have any bad feelings towards the Communist Party, if the Sino-Japanese war has entered a stalemate stage at this time, I don't mind joining the communist army, as long as it is a devil, where is it different to fight?" I have never had a political appeal, but the problem now is that the Sino-Japanese war is far from entering the phase of stalemate. ”

Gao Shenxing was relieved, he was still a little resistant to returning to the national army before, but now it has disappeared.

Xu Shijiu said abruptly: "A person's liliang is insignificant, but if thousands of scattered veterans of the national army like you and me can return to the team, then there is still hope for the national army, only if the national army stifles the offensive of the Japanese army and makes the Sino-Japanese war enter the stage of strategic stalemate, will the communist army's war of resistance behind enemy lines be meaningful, isn't it?" ”

"Captain, I see." Gao Shenxing said solemnly, "I thought it was simple before. ”

"If only you understood." Xu Shijiu patted Gao Shenxing's shoulder and said, "Shenxing, let's go say hello to Captain He now, and then we should go." ”

Gao Shenxing agreed.

When Xu 19 and Gao Shenxing found He Keqi, He Keqi was counting the seizures.

The reason why He Keqi and Hu Zhijing decided to attack Qiaotou Town and the Zhou family compound was one reason to expand the influence of the Communist guerrillas and open up the situation of the War of Resistance in southern Jiangsu, and there was another reason that the guerrillas could also get urgently needed supplies from the Zhou family, in addition to a large amount of food, there was also money.

More than a dozen long-term workers, men, and horsemen of the Zhou family fought for the small box, and all of them were beaten to the point of bleeding, but in the end they were wrapped up by the guerrillas who arrived quickly, and none of them ran away, and the land deeds, land deeds, body deeds, gold, silver and jewelry, ocean fiat currency, and bank cashier's checks in the small boxes all belonged to the guerrillas.

He Keqi counted it, and there were more than 500,000 bank cashier's checks alone

The guerrillas have really made a fortune this time, and they will not need to allocate funds from their superiors for several years this year.

In addition, there are two granaries full of grain, with this money, these grains, plus the influence of the guerrillas to lay down Qiaotou Town and shoot Zhou Peeling, the expansion of the guerrillas is just around the corner, He Keqi can't help but look forward to it, and in a few days he will pull the team to southern Anhui to accept the reorganization, maybe he can get a captain to be the captain

However, the arrival of Xu 19 and Gao Shenxing reduced He Keqi's excitement.

"Captain Xu, Platoon Commander Gao, do you really want to leave?" He Keqi was really reluctant, if it was possible, he really wanted to detain Xu 19 and Gao Shenxing, originally he was just reluctant to be cautious, but tonight's battle made He Keqi discover that in fact, Xu 19 is really powerful, and his strength lies in his superb tactical command ability.

Tonight's battle, the process is very simple, the guerrillas took the Zhou family compound without blood, on the surface, it seems that a random person will be in command, and the result will be about the same, but He Keqi knows that things are not so simple, behind the seemingly simple appearance, in fact, there is Xu Shijiu's keen battlefield insight and fighter capture ability.

Whether it was asking Gao Shenxing to shoot and kill the captain of the Zhou family, or Xu Shijiu personally bombarding the northeast corner tower, or Zuihou letting Yin Shangwen come forward, the timing was all just right.

First of all, the use of high prudence and accurate marksmanship to make the family understand that there is only one way to die if they stay on the fort wall

Then, when they needed the shelter of a strong fortress the most, they found that the fortress they were hiding in was like paper paste under the guerrilla artillery, and could not shelter them at all.

zuihou, when the families were most panicked and desperate, Yin Shangwen appeared with the condition of "surrendering the gun and not killing, and not being to blame for the past", and the will of these families to resist collapsed at once, in the final analysis, they are only the family members of the Zhou family, not the filial sons and grandsons of the Zhou family, and they can't be martyred for the Zhou family.

Therefore, this is like Shaolin Changquan, which is also a punch, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just an ordinary punch, but in the eyes of experts, it can be seen that Xu Shijiu is the Shaolin boxer who has decades of skills, and He Keqi, who joined the guerrillas at the age of sixteen, can also be regarded as an expert.

He Keqi sincerely hopes that Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing can stay, even if he is not the captain.

Xu Shijiu could feel He Keqi's regret, but as he said to Gao Shenxing just now, they were needed more on the frontal battlefield now, and he said to He Keqi at the moment: "Captain He, I'm really sorry, but I believe that you and I will definitely meet again one day, and then let us kill the devil side by side." ”

He Keqi still wanted to hold on a little longer, and said, "Captain Xu, are you waiting for our party representatives to come back before leaving?" ”

Xu Shijiu felt that he should say goodbye to Hu Zhijing, and immediately asked, "I don't know when Mr. Hu will come back?" ”

He Keqi said: "Our party representative went to the provincial capital for a meeting, and it would be three days at the earliest, five days at the slowest, and he should come back." ”

Xu Jiu frowned and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to wait that long, since this is the case, then we can only have Captain Lao He to say sorry to Mr. Hu for us, and I will apologize to him in person when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Gao Shenxing also specially advised: "Captain He, although Dr. Haneda is Japanese, he is different from those Japanese soldiers who came to China to burn and kill, and plundered, he used to be a military doctor, and he was forced to retire because he opposed the war of aggression against China, I hope you don't hurt him, and it is best to let him go." ”

“haode。” He Keqi nodded and said, "I'll let him go when I go back." ”

Xu Shijiu saluted He Keqi and said solemnly: "Captain He, we will have a meeting later." ”

"There will be a date later." He Keqi returned the military salute, and then reluctantly watched the figures of Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing disappear into the darkness.
