The old village chief fell into contemplation, Xia Yuan was right, but in fact Xia Yuan won, they lost, Xia Yuan wiped out two-thirds of Gaojiazhuang's combat strength with the strength of one person, if other Japanese troops existed, Gaojiazhuang would have lost at this time.

Uncle Zhong said: "There is no victory in victory, we have paid huge casualties to destroy the enemy, but the enemy is endless, are we still capable of resisting the Japanese army attacking behind?" No, that's why we're really losing. ”

He turned his head to look at the village chief and said, "Branch Secretary, this exercise is over, but it also reminds us that there are still huge problems in the combat capability of our soldiers. ”

The old village chief raised his head, looked at the soldiers around him who lowered their heads one by one, and said: "On weekdays, I let you train well, just to survive on the battlefield in the face of the Japanese attack, and you, dislike the content of the training is not good, complain that the content of the training is boring, and when it comes to the time when you are really needed, what is your role!" ”

He raised his voice: "Back to training tomorrow!" No matter how boring it is, keep it up for me! What we are bored now is to better eliminate the Japanese devils in the future and better protect our relatives! ”

The two sang and harmonized, and the soldiers were red-faced, and they had deeply realized their mistakes, which were mistakes in their thinking. And after this exercise, Xia Yuan also let everyone see his true strength clearly, Gaojiazhuang has about a company of fighters, and Xia Yuan stubbornly relied on his own strength to eliminate two-thirds of the combatants, this kind of fierce battle, so that everyone admires Xia Yuan very much.

Originally, Mao Ni was still sullen about Xia Yuan tying herself up, but seeing Xia Yuan's stabbing technique so powerful, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared, and she worshiped Xia Yuan even more.

After the failure of the exercise, the training started normally the next day, and more people participated in the training, and some villagers who witnessed the exercise also sent their children to the training ground, just because Xia Yuan said that the training should start from the baby.

Seven or eight years old, eleven or twelve years old little dolls were sent over to participate in the training, the little guys training is not much worse than the soldiers, many children are relatives killed in the sweep of the Japanese devils, witnessing their relatives being killed by the Japanese devils, the hatred squeezed in the heart is not much worse than the guerrillas, this will become the motivation for their training, in order to face the next Japanese devils.

On this day, a puppet army with guns came to the village, and the militia in charge of reconnaissance quickly passed the news to the dark room through the microphone made of bamboo tubes on the roof: "There is a puppet army outside the village, and the number is about ten!" ”

Xia Yuan was watching the protracted battle in the courtyard, and Sanbao ran in quickly with a gun on his back, "Xia Yuan, there is a puppet army outside the village!" ”

Xia Yuan closed the book, raised his head and asked, "Aren't there any Japanese devils?" ”

Sambo shook his head, "There are no Japanese devils. ”

Xia Yuan said: "This is strange, the puppet army rarely acts alone, especially on a mission. ”

He raised his head and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

When they came to the dark room of the investigation, Uncle Lao Zhong, Chuan Bao, the old village chief and Lin Xia were all there, they were discussing things, and the old village chief asked, "Have the villagers been transferred?" ”

"The villagers have all moved into the tunnels, and the militia and guerrillas have been put in place. ”

The old village chief nodded, saw Xia Yuan walk in, and said, "You're here." ”

Xia Yuan asked, "Branch secretary, how is the situation?" ”

The old village chief said: "It is not clear the intentions of this puppet army. ”

Xia Yuan thought for a while and said, "No matter what their intentions are, there will be no good thing to come to Gaojiazhuang, try to find out clearly, so that they will not come back." ”

While speaking, the puppet army has walked to the bridge at the entrance of the village, is coming to the village, the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, there is a militiaman, when digging the tunnel, Xia Yuan proposed to open up the inside of the big banyan tree, as a good commanding height, can pass through this big tree, overlooking the entire village, the location can be described as superior.

The militia hiding inside shook a stick next to him, the stick connected the tunnel, there was a water tank in the tunnel, the stick sank into the water tank, the stick shook and stirred the water in the water tank, and the militia who heard the sound quickly transmitted the situation to another layer through the microphone, layer by layer, until it was passed to the largest dark room where everyone was staying.

The whole process took less than twenty seconds before the puppet military walked under the big banyan tree and looked at the big banyan tree with some surprise.

After receiving the news, everyone discussed the next countermeasures, Niu Wa held a gun and said, "Branch secretary, let's fight, this is the best time to test the tunnel we dug." ”

Chuanbao still said worriedly: "We can't fight, we haven't figured out the intentions of the puppet army yet!" ”

Lin Xia also agreed with Chuanbao's idea, and said: "We should first find out the intentions of the puppet army, and then decide whether to fight or not, fighting a war is to be sacrificed, and blindly fighting a war will not succeed." ”

Xia Yuan patted Niu Wa's shoulder and said: "Brother Chuanbao is right, the puppet army will not come to Gaojiazhuang for no reason, and there are no Japanese devils to follow this time, maybe it is not because of the sweep, branch secretary, I think send a few people to take a look, and then improvise." ”

Niu Wa thought about it, and immediately raised her hand and said, "Branch secretary, let me go!" ”

Sambo was also eager to try, "I'll go too!" ”

Seeing that the old village chief hesitated, Xia Yuan said: "Branch secretary, just let me go with Niu Wa and Sanbao, you take the big guy into the battle position, and then wait for me to find out the information here." ”

The old village chief thought about it, and said a little uneasy: "I'll go too, I'm the village chief, I'm going, Uncle Zhong, you are watching here." ”

Uncle Zhong nodded: "Then you have to pay attention to some safety." ”

Xia Yuan said: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, we will pay attention to safety, and with me, if they want to move a single hair, they have to see how their strength is." ”

San Bao patted his chest and said, "And me!" ”

Niu Wa also said: "Don't worry, we will take care of the branch secretary!" ”

Coming out of the tunnel, everyone patted the dust on their bodies, left their guns in the tunnel, and then walked towards the entrance of the village.

The puppet army stopped under the big banyan tree, and the deputy captain of the puppet army said: "It's strange, at this point, no one in the village has come out." ”

The puppet army commander held his head high, and a pair of slender and narrow eyes rolled: "Abnormal, very abnormal, there is something wrong with Gaojiazhuang." ”

Deputy Captain of the Puppet Army: "Here it is, here it is." ”

While speaking, four people came out of the village, it was the village party secretary, Xia Yuan, Sanbao, and Niu Wa, the village party secretary stepped forward, nodded and said, "I don't know how many bosses came to our Gaojiazhuang, what is the matter?" ”

The captain of the puppet army looked arrogant and said, "In order to be able to better manage the surrounding village chiefs, the imperial army has decided to establish maintenance associations in each village. ”

Sustain the meeting.

Xia Yuan's eyes moved, and the maintenance meeting was a temporary local puppet puppet regime established by the Japanese invaders in the occupied areas of China in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression using traitors, serving the Japanese invaders to achieve "rule China with China" and "divide and rule". The temporary organization of the Maintainers was a form of transition that collapsed after the establishment of the enemy's puppet formal regime.

Once the maintenance association was established, it marked that the village became a subsidiary village of the Japanese army, and it was another means for the Japanese devils to invade China.

When the old village chief heard the words of the puppet army, he hesitated a few times, and the puppet army commander's face suddenly changed, and he said faintly: "What, doesn't Gaojiazhuang want to be protected by the imperial army?" Now we are on the cusp of a sweep, and with the protection of the imperial army, we can avoid being affected by the sweep. Or is there something hidden in your village? ”

When the old village chief heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, boss, you are joking, where do we dare to hide those things." ”

The puppet army commander snorted coldly: "It's better not to, if it is discovered, this will be beheaded!" ”

The old village chief pretended to be frightened, trembling all over, and responded again and again. The puppet army commander enjoyed this feeling of being a superior person, and the perverted psychology of being oppressed by the Japanese devils was manifested at this moment, he looked at the village and said, "The villagers in the village eat well? ”

Xia Yuan immediately understood, and took the words of the old village chief: "Boss, we have made some delicious food in the village, you must be tired of hurrying, go to the village to rest and rest, and drink some home-brewed wine?" ”

The puppet army leader glanced at Xia Yuan, "It's quite good to come to things." ”

"Hey." Xia Yuan nodded, turned his head and said to Sanbao and Niu Wa behind him: "Hurry up and let Sister-in-law Lin Xia heat up the pot, slaughter the only old hen in the house, take out the eggs laid by it, and reward the boss. ”

The puppet army must kill an old hen, not to mention how happy they are, and some of them have swallowed a mouthful of saliva unnaturally.

Sanbao was puzzled: "Xia Yuan, that old hen will lay eggs, and only that one...... In the future, it will be used for the confinement of the virtuous sister-in-law. ”

Hearing Sanbao's defense, the expressions of the puppet soldiers suddenly changed, and one of the puppet soldiers scolded: "What did you say? Believe it or not, we made her unable to even confinement! He was about to smash the butt of his gun at Sambo.

Xia Yuan's eyes were quick, he stopped between the two, and said, "Boss, he is not sensible, don't be like him." ”

He scolded again: "What kind of fool are you kidding, hurry up, and let the big guy take out all the delicious food and drink, don't forget how Linjia Village and Niujia Village are gone, and the maintenance club will be established, and our life will be safe, thank you to the boss!" ”

He turned his back to the Imperial Association Army and blinked: "Let the big guy take out all the delicious food and drink at home, don't hide it privately." ”

Niu Wa's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood what Xia Yuan meant, nodded again and again, stretched out her hand and pulled Sanbao and left.

Back in the village, Niu Wa took Sanbao and drilled into the tunnel, and Sanbao was still sullen: "A few imperial alliances, why did Xia Yuan compromise?" ”

Niu Wa said happily: "You, why did you start to make trouble at this time?" If Xia Yuan really compromises, he won't be Xia Yuan, don't be stunned, take the guy and get ready to fight! ”

Sanbao was stunned, and before he could understand, Niu Wa picked up Sanbao's gun and stuffed it into him, and said, "You, didn't you see Xia Yuan giving you a look, he said to let the big guy take out all the delicious food, don't let everyone hide the good things privately." ”

He patted the gun in his hand and said, "That's good stuff!" ”

After speaking, he got into the tunnel and came to the dark room, Chuanbao stepped on the stool with one foot, pinched his waist with one hand, and looked out of the village through the shooting hole with his bowed body, and saw Niu Wa coming back, and hurriedly asked about the situation, Niu Wa said: "The puppet army of Teniang wants to establish a maintenance association in our village, saying that it is to maintain law and order, and it can also prevent being swept away by Japanese devils, I will go to his grandmother's, Xia Yuan has already agreed to act, and the branch secretary did not stop it." ”

He spat and said, "Brother Chuanbao, this is a good opportunity to test the authenticity, let the big guy hurry up and prepare, it is estimated that Xia Yuan and the branch secretary will lead the puppet army into the village in a while." ”

"Good!" Gao Chuanbao immediately came to the microphone, put his mouth in the microphone, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Comrades, all in place, all in place, waiting for the order to start fighting!" ”

Chuanbao's orders were passed layer by layer, the militia armed with red tassel guns, and the guerrillas with weapons quickly dispatched, and some of them went to the village ditch outside the village through the tunnel to prevent the puppet army from seeing that the situation was wrong and wanting to retreat, so as to cut off their back road.

Here, Xia Yuan saw that the timing was about the same, so he said: "Bosses, let's go to the village, I'll get you a bowl of water to drink, and discuss the establishment of the maintenance club by the way." ”

Seeing Xia Yuan's attitude, the puppet army was very satisfied, and the puppet army commander even took a fancy to Xia Yuan's size, and said: "Such a good man, he will come again, do you have any idea of wanting to join us, join us, follow us, and ensure that you eat fragrant food and drink spicy food!" ”

Xia Yuan pretended to be very excited and said, "Boss, I, can I really do it?" ”

"Absolutely!"

"That's great, when I leave, I'll follow you, there are a few more in the village, and the two just now can also follow the boss."

The puppet army commander didn't expect to be able to recruit people here, and said with great satisfaction: "Yes, follow us to ensure that your life will get better and better!" ”

Xia Yuan thanked him again and again, followed the old village chief to lead the way for the puppet soldiers, and entered the village, and the puppet soldiers saw that the doors of every house were closed, so they said: "Yo, this is to see us, and you don't even dare to come out to see us?" ”

Xia Yuan hurriedly said: "This is not the prestige of the imperial army in Gaojiazhuang is too big, the villagers are authentic, honest farmers, don't say it is the imperial army, even the Eighth Route Army is coming, they don't dare to come out, afraid, in this troubled world, dead people are common, everyone sees a soldier, that is, they can avoid it, for fear of provoking the soldier, but it is good that you are here, we need to maintain the meeting too much to maintain law and order, so that the Eighth Route Army will not dare to enter the village." ”

Xia Yuan's coaxing and deception, coaxed the puppet soldiers into a daze, and they were no longer entangled, this world is no different from what Xia Yuan said, it is normal to die a person, and sometimes even human life is not as valuable as an animal.
