Predator Reborn

Chapter 101 Zhangjiazhuang

After seeing the situation on the battlefield, Liu Hua returned to the headquarters and immediately issued a series of orders: "Order the troops to quickly clean the battlefield and retreat after half an hour. When cleaning the battlefield, we must remember our "Three Lights" policy. Half an hour later, the troops

Move to the mountainous area west of Qigen Village, enemy reinforcements will arrive soon."

It turned out that at the beginning of the battle, the enemy commander sent a request for assistance to the frontline pacification commander Yoshio Utsuki last month. Yoshio Utsuki learned that the baggage brigade escorting him ammunition was surrounded, and there were many Eighth Route Army soldiers surrounding him.

, looking at the scarce ammunition on his soldiers, Yoshio Shangzuki immediately became anxious, and immediately ordered a cavalry brigade on the front line to take the lead, followed by an infantry brigade, and ran towards his surrounded people.

However, after several hours of rapid march, the cavalry captain who led the team looked stupidly at the scene in front of him. The entire road stretched for two miles. The remains of imperial soldiers could be seen everywhere, and some stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere.

None of the ammunition and supplies transported to the front line were found, and even bullet casings on the ground were very rare.

What made the captain even more angry was that many imperial soldiers had their clothes stripped down to their underwear. The captain couldn't bear it anymore, "Baga, you damn Eighth Route Army, I'm going to kill you all." After venting his anger, the captain said.

The accompanying radio station was ordered to send this unfortunate news to the commander of the Yoshio Brigade of last month who was waiting for the news.

Immediately, the cavalry brigade was ordered to dismount and collect the remains of the imperial soldiers. However, misfortune happened to the captain's cavalry brigade again. Explosions began to sound continuously on the position. Soon, the cause of the explosion was found out.

, it turns out that in order to leave some greeting gifts for the Japanese reinforcements, the Independent Brigade arranged some of the captured grenades into booby traps and buried them under the enemy's corpse. As long as the enemy moved the corpse, it would explode immediately. This caused the cavalry to

The brigade's speed of cleaning the battlefield suddenly slowed down several times. When moving the corpse, they tied a rope around the corpse and dragged it before they dared to collect the body.

After collecting the bodies of the fallen imperial soldiers, the captain became angry again. After the continuous explosions just now, his cavalry brigade was reduced to one squad without engaging the enemy...

Just when the Japanese captain was angry, Liu Hua and his independent brigade had already entered the depths of the mountains, and encountered a very secluded small mountain village where they had set up camp, preparing to stay there for a long time.

According to the investigation of the reconnaissance camp, this village is called Zhangjiazhuang. There are two hundred households in the village, and there are no landowners. Because it is located in the mountains, many people are from Orion backgrounds. The nearest county here is Pingding County, and the nearest town is

It is Cheyu Town. The nearest villages are called Xizhuang and Wangquan Village. There are much more people than this village, each with more than 500 households. Among them is a very big landlord. According to the name of the village, the landlord's son turns out to be

A battalion commander of the national army, now defected to the Japanese, is a squadron leader of the puppet army in Pingding County. Zhangjiazhuang is surrounded by mountains in front and back, with Woniu Mountain in the back. There are many mountainous areas. The villagers usually rely on planting some dry crops and hunting.

However, since the devils passed through here once, many women have been raped and a lot of food has been robbed. Now the villagers are about to fall into a crisis of food shortage.

Looking at the peaceful village in front of him and the surrounding terrain, Liu Hua couldn't help but feel dazed. "Brigade Commander, Brigadier, what are you thinking about?" Looking at the dazed Brigade Commander, the political commissar quickly reminded him.

"Uh, political commissar, I'm thinking about the terrain here in Zhangjiazhuang."

"What's wrong with the terrain here?" the political commissar asked in confusion.

Liu Hua smiled and said, "Political Commissar, you see, the whole Zhangjiazhuang is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one way in and out. It can be said that one man can block it and ten thousand people cannot open it. Look behind Zhangjiazhuang, but the famous Woniu Mountain. If

We use this place as the base camp for our independent brigade to establish a base. You said..." Liu Hua smiled.

After listening to Liu Hua's words, political commissar Guan Xiangying said nothing. He picked up a telescope and began to observe. The smile on his face became thicker and thicker. "Brigade commander, this is such a good place!" the political commissar sighed.

"Liu Battalion Commander, now I order you to take the entire reconnaissance battalion to spread out the scope within a hundred miles and draw a sketch. All rivers, villages, caves, etc. along the way, as long as everything of value must be marked.

clear.":

"Yes, resolutely complete the mission." After saying this, he took the political commissar and ran towards his troops.

"Come on, political commissar, let's go into the village!"

In less than half an hour, the entire army arrived at the designated camping site. Liu Hua led a group of people from the headquarters to the already arranged headquarters. According to the village chief, this house originally belonged to an old man. Since the Japanese invasion,

The old man died and the house became empty.

Looking at the gray-haired village chief Zhang Deli in front of him, Liu Hua nodded and quickly helped him to his seat.

Wang Deli was not polite. He sat down and asked, "I don't know what your army is doing here. Is it a permanent residence or passing by? However, due to the looting by the Japanese army, our village now has no extra food to share with the army. I hope you can forgive me."

After listening to Village Chief Zhang's words, Liu Hua knew that this place must have been frequently harmed by the Nationalist Party. "Village Chief Zhang, we are the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party. We have just finished fighting the Japanese and are on the way to transfer. It is already dark now."

Yes, we want to camp here. We apologize for any inconvenience. Our army has its own dry food and does not need the common people to provide it...

After listening to Liu Hua's words, the expression on Zhang Deli's face did not change. It was just an expression of disbelief. Because everyone knows now that when the Chinese army sees the Japanese, they will either run away or run away. They just finished fighting the Japanese.

, who believes it?

Seeing Zhang Deli's disbelief, Liu Hua patiently explained to him some of the policies of the Eighth Route Army...

After a long explanation, Village Chief Zhang Deli's face improved a little. Seeing that Village Chief Zhang's impression of the army had changed, Liu Hua immediately handed it over to his partner and asked him to express his feelings towards the village chief.

Carry out persuasive education.

The political commissar also explained for nearly half an hour before letting them know that the Independence Brigade was a force led by the Communist Party and would not exploit the common people. He also let them see some Japanese military supplies seized by his troops before letting them understand that the Independence Brigade was a military force.

A team specializing in killing Japanese soldiers. Now we have finally solved the problem of troops camping.

After listening to the political commissar's report, Liu Hua breathed a sigh of relief. "Political commissar, I heard that the villagers have no food for the winter this year. Do you think that in order to unite the people's hearts, let's help."

"Well, I agree. That's it. I asked the baggage camp to distribute a bag of flour to each household, and give them some of the mules and horses that were killed, so that they can survive this winter no matter what, and pick up next year's harvest.

reward"

Well, that's it, execute it immediately.

Soon, the originally lifeless Xiaoshui Village was filled with laughter and laughter, which was rare to see at that time. Many villagers were moved by the bags of flour and pieces of mule and horse meat sent by the soldiers.

Many people cried, and some even knelt down. Not long after, they saw a group of people walking towards the headquarters. The person in front of them was Zhang Deli, the head of the village.

Seeing the excited expressions of everyone, Liu Hua, the political commissar, and the chief of staff rushed out to greet them. When Zhang Deli saw Liu Hua and others coming towards him, he immediately knelt in front of them, followed by the fellow villagers who piled up one after another.

Seeing the faces of the villagers in front of Liu Hua and others, Liu Hua faintly understood the reason.

Liu Hua, political commissar and others dared to support Zhang Deli and others who wanted to kneel down. "Village Chief Zhang, what are you doing? Stand up and say anything. We Communists don't like to kneel down. Hurry up and let the villagers do it."

Get up." Liu Hua said anxiously.

Finally, with the efforts of everyone in the brigade, the villagers kneeling outside the headquarters stood up. Zhang Deli led several elders from the village and walked into the temporary headquarters with the support of Liu Hua and others.

"My benefactor, Brigadier Liu, I have never seen such a good team in my whole life. Not only did they not bully the people, but they also gave them food. They are such a benevolent and righteous teacher. I can see such a good team in my life, old man.

This life has not been in vain." Zhang Deli said excitedly as soon as he entered the door, and everyone agreed excitedly.

"Village Chief Zhang, you still don't understand our Eighth Route Army. The predecessor of our Eighth Route Army is the Red Army that Chiang Kai-shek shouted to destroy every day. The Red Army is originally a team of working people. Almost all cadres and soldiers in our team were born in poverty.

, I’m not afraid of your jokes, I was also born in poverty, so our Eighth Route Army is a team of ordinary people, not a team of a certain person in the Nationalist Party, and we should do these things. Let our political commissar explain it to you later.

Tell us the purpose of our Communist Party and you will understand."

As Liu Hua spoke, he looked at the expressions of several old men and saw that they nodded one after another.

…

After a long time, Zhang Deli wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Brigadier Liu, no matter what, you saved the lives of all the people in our village today. Without the food you sent today, we in Zhangjiazhuang would never know how to survive this winter."

How many people have starved to death? These are all caused by the little Japs. You have saved our village and have an advantage over the team dedicated to fighting the Japs. As long as we in Zhangjiazhuang can do it, we will do it even if we risk our lives. I don’t know what Brigadier Liu has.

What do you need help with?"

After hearing Zhang Deli's grateful words, Su Hua was secretly happy: "Village Chief Zhang, our army has just wiped out more than a thousand Japanese. There are many wounded in the army, and we have really forgotten many comrades. We want to rest here, but I don't know that the villagers...

..." Vulcan looked at the old men next to him.

"Brigadier Liu, if you say this, you are killing an old man. You are looking down on us, the people of Zhangjiazhuang. Those injured comrades were injured by the Japanese. To put it further, they are avenging us. We also have a conscience.

Chinese, Brigadier Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Okay, well, we are all Chinese, Village Chief Zhang. We want the name of the village to help us open up an open space in the mountain forest and build some barracks. We also need some common people who are familiar with the terrain to help us with our soldiers.

Drawing maps.

"Okay, that's all. Now I'm going to find someone." After saying that, Zhang Deli walked out the door.
