Section 43 The Suppression of Bandits Begins

Although Yifeng County Magistrate Xiong Cheng has returned, where can he speak in Yifeng at the moment? Half of the officials of the county government were killed, half of them were frightened, and the government had completely become the regimental headquarters of the Independent Regiment, and people who were not from the Independent Regiment had no chance to even enter. Lin Xiufeng, attached to the regiment, is in charge of the local civil affairs of Yifeng at the moment, and he is very busy, first of all, he re-measures the fields that have been confiscated, and divides the area according to the fertility and poverty of the fields, and the other is the statistics of the combat exploits of the soldiers of the independent regiment.

In the past, Lin Xiufeng was almost not in charge of the independent regiment, there was a strong regiment commander like Shishi, and the weight of his words was also insufficient, but now he is equal to the power of one side, and the feeling of being in charge of power made him very intoxicated, and he was extremely energetic in doing things, even if these two things were very complicated and had many clues, but Lin Xiufeng came back with a group of secretaries and soldiers all day long, and he actually did almost everything he did.

The cultivated land area of Yifeng County is about 2,000 hectares, mainly concentrated around Yifeng County, and these fields are very fertile because of Yexi irrigation, and the yield per mu is very good. However, most of them are the private property of the landlords and tycoons, and they have tried their best to confin the "heirloom fields". This time, because of corruption, tax evasion and previous mistakes committed by illegal means, the stone carried out a bloody baptism of Yifeng by thunderous means, and the confiscated land property was about 1,000 hectares, accounting for almost half of the county's cultivated area, which is really shocking. No wonder the common people can't survive these years, the fertile land is all the private property of these rich people, if you want to farm, you have to rent it, and all kinds of taxes are pressed down, who can bear it?

Now there are more than 2,000 veterans of the regiment, from the combatants to the young and strong people of the original supplementary battalion, all of whom are rewarded with land on the basis of their military exploits, from 10 mu to 100 mu per person, and on average, each person has nearly 50 mu of fertile land, which is extremely considerable. With so many fields, about 6,000 or 7,000 people are needed to recruit them for cultivation, and about 2,500 households can be resettled, which is of great help in solving the problem of displaced people. Most of the people who evacuated all the way because of the war are also for the purpose of Changsha, Ji'an and other places, and there are not many people who have flowed into the counties, and now so many people can be arranged at once, and the local situation has stabilized all of a sudden, however, the food problem of these six or seven thousand people is directly pressed on the back of the stone, although Lin Xiufeng is capable, he must also have a food base, otherwise the requisitioned displaced people will have no place to eat, and the food sent down will be eaten by them sooner or later.

In addition, the other displaced people also need to be appeased, at least to ensure their basic living needs, and watch the people starve to death in the streets, which the stone and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment cannot bear to see. After all, their bloody struggle is to defend the country and protect the people, so how can they not save them when they die?

After listening to Lin Xiufeng's report, the stone was very happy, Lin Xiufeng's extremely high efficiency made him feel that some thorny problems were solved, the problem of food, he can think of a way, the most important thing at the moment is to ensure the stability of the county, to ensure the development of winter ploughing, only by planting food, the people will see hope, the grain of the independent regiment can have hope, only can we see hope, there is a goal to struggle, in order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm.

As for those homeless people who did not have the right to rent, Shi didn't want them to just eat and not work, and after thinking about it for a while, he came up with a solution, that is, to organize these homeless people to dig a defensive line to prepare for the attack of the devils. The sooner they prepare, the less they will panic when the devils will come over, and when the devils come over, they will not panic, and when the time comes, in order to hold their fields and next year's harvest, whether it is the soldiers in the regiment or the common people, they will show unimaginable enthusiasm to deal with this war.

Lin Xiufeng was solely responsible for the cultivation, and the next step was to suppress the bandits. In order to ensure the stability of Yifeng, in order to solve the problem of food shortage, Shi made up his mind to solve all the horse bandits and thieves in Yifeng, no matter how big or small, do not let any of them go, for this reason, he specially told the beard, do not have any sympathy, these horse bandits are different from you and a knife, they are a bunch of inhumane things, they are a bunch of beasts who can pick up knives and guns and even slaughter the village, even more hateful than the little devils. The war between the little devils and them is a war between races, and these scum take up arms and slaughter their own compatriots.

Beard had long heard from the wild donkey about the situation of these horse bandits, and he gritted his teeth with hatred and swore to kill them all. The so-called thieves also have thieves, these years, most of the people who go up the mountain to be bandits, most of them are forced by life to live and can't live haha, since they have rebelled, then they should point the finger at those who make them unable to live. And these horse bandits around Yifeng are willing to be the lackeys of the rich, which is really a shame for the horse bandits.

The beard with the cavalry battalion was murderous, and he chose the first target to be a bandit team entrenched in the area of Gaojia Mountain. According to the information found by the brothers of the reconnaissance company, there are about thirty or forty bandits active in this area, and one of the leaders is called Wild Donkey, who was originally a ruffian in Gao'an City. This wild donkey itself is good, a ruffian bully, he must have the capital to do evil, he has five big and three thick, and he has brute strength, and he is also feared in Gao'an, and he originally lived a chic life by collecting some "stability fees" from the neighborhood. But a few years ago, he somehow fell in love with the daughter of a large family in Gao'an. With his background, not to mention a big family, it is an ordinary small family, who wants to give his daughter to him as a cheap? This was his wishful thinking at the beginning, and the result was already doomed. The wild donkey is not stupid, and naturally knows that it is impossible to get such a little lady with his own situation, but he was really fascinated by her appearance, and as a result, on the day of the little lady's marriage, he took a few fox friends and dog friends to rob people halfway. Unexpectedly, this little lady was also a strong woman, and when she saw that she fell into the hands of bandits, she bit her tongue and committed suicide halfway.

After all the hard work, taking such a big risk to rob people, only to snatch back a cold corpse naturally made the wild donkey ferocious, and after a few people took the corpse, the cut red stripes were hung back at the door of this family, which can be described as extremely frenzied. Gao An couldn't stay, they fell into the grass in the area of Gaojia Mountain, and the wild donkey became more and more fierce after this incident, he was a ruthless person, and he had some skills, and there were more and more subordinates in the past few years. The geographical location of Gaojia Mountain has also been stable in the past few years.

Gaojiashan is about fifty or sixty miles away from Yifeng, and it is close at hand. But this mountainous area, which happens to be between Yifeng, Gao'an, Shanggao and Fengxin, is the mountainous area at the junction of the four counties, and naturally no one wants to spend more effort here, plus the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the past two years has become worse and worse, and the county governments around the country have no heart to care about these.

Hu Zi hated this kind of person who deceived the good and feared the evil the most in his life, and the location of Gaojiashan was very dangerous, so in the first battle, his eyes were on the wild donkey, a gang of bandits.

The brothers of the reconnaissance company have been busy in the past few months, although they have not found out where the bandits are hiding, but they have a great understanding of their activity area, this group of people also know the truth that rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest, the usual activity area is generally the Sixi area, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Shanggao County, is the only way to Gao'an, usually they make a living by robbing the caravan and the people passing by, the militia has sent troops to suppress once, but the gang of people scare and scare the people is okay, The combat power is obviously inferior to these bandits, and they have not been exterminated.

In the past few months, the area around Shanggao and Gao'an has become a key place for the 74th Army, and the local militia has no way to deal with these bandits, but in front of the regular army, these people are not enough. However, they did have an eye, and they disappeared directly during this time, and only a few little minions would come out to inquire about the news. These little minions had already been watched several times by the brethren of the reconnaissance company, and they did not take any action considering that they might be alarmed.

But at this time it was different, Hu Zi did not hesitate to send these reconnaissance companies to help, and captured alive a bandit who came out to inquire about the news in the early morning, when he was escorted to the strong beard and others, this little bandit was directly frightened stupid, and he didn't even need the brothers of the cavalry battalion to be punished, so he told all the news he knew like spitting beans.

The cavalry battalion soldiers who tortured and killed I don't know how many devils were, I originally thought about how to make him speak, but now listening to his words, I can't help but be disappointed, so that a person who has no eggs can be a bandit? It's really a shame to be thrown home, especially those horse bandit brothers who originally fought the world with Hu Zi and Zhao, and they feel that this person has lost their face, if he hadn't led the way, I'm afraid he would have cut off his head as a urinal.

The ensuing battle did not have any suspense at all, no, this can no longer be regarded as a battle, under the leadership of this bandit, the ghost five took a company directly into the mountain, although this gang of bandits knew that the surrounding armies were gathered, but they were in the deep mountains, and they were very calm in the past few months, so that they gradually relaxed, although there were sentinels along the way, there were checkpoints to block the enemy, but it didn't play any role, and even when the devils stood in their stockade and watched their brothers rush to arrest people everywhere, The bandits were completely unaware of the impending catastrophe, and many of them were still asleep.

Especially the wild donkey, the leader of this gang of bandits, when a company of thugs rushed into his house, he was still driving and fighting on the delicate bodies of the two white flowers. The poor two captive "Lady Crushers" could only let out a burst of cries of humiliation and pain, which feasted the eyes of the young soldiers who rushed into the house.
