"Brother Old Wolf, are you asking how many troops we have left to fight?" Tian Xinliang asked additionally.
"right!"
"There are still four hundred and sixty-seven people, fifteen of whom are children, under the age of sixteen!" said the old Taoist.
"Where are the weapons?" Borshu frowned slightly.
"There are less than a hundred long and short guns, and the rest are swords and spears with more than a thousand bullets!" Tian Xinliang lowered his head in shame.
"A gun has less than twenty rounds of bullets, and it's all gone after one battle?" Borshu was stunned for a moment. Although they have lived such days, they have not reached this point. No wonder they are here. Can't get out of the mountains.
With this little money, they might lose it all at once, not to mention they are not only short of weapons and ammunition, they are also short of food and drink.
"Old Taoist, let's do this, tell me what you have and what you don't have, and see if we can help you find some solutions!" Bo Shu said, although he was not specifically here to solve problems for the Lushan detachment, But seeing an anti-Japanese team in such embarrassment, he couldn't explain it in his heart.
What¡¯s more, this Lushan detachment is also an anti-Japanese team under the leadership of Dongkang. It is much more difficult and dangerous to persist in the war of resistance in enemy-occupied areas. They are still persisting. This spirit is worthy of admiration.
It is precisely because of tens of thousands of Chinese people and their unyielding spirit of struggle that China has hope and will not perish!
""
Without reservation, Tian Xinliang told Bo Shu about the family background of the Lushan detachment in detail.
Borshu frowned after hearing this. It was a hundred times worse than he imagined. It seemed that their vitality had been greatly damaged in the past six months. The previous continuation was almost exhausted, and they were unwilling to harm the common people. The Japanese were famous for their cruelty.
Especially those traitors, they are even more vicious to their compatriots in order to please their Japanese masters. It's even more merciless to attack your own compatriots!
Therefore, their hands and feet were tied, coupled with continuous battle failures, and the seizures could not keep up with consumption, so they took the initiative to send people to contact the headquarters, which was actually a last resort.
The only ones who can help them at this time are their superiors.
Originally, I was counting on the Lushan detachment to help me. At the very least, he could provide some support. Although he brought two squadrons with him, both of whom were elites from the special operations brigade, this was in a place heavily guarded by the enemy, and there was a risk of the ship capsizing in the ditch. This is not impossible!
You must know that not everything in this world is foolproof.
The worst thing is that I only have two days. It is quite a challenge to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Lushan detachment in such a short period of time.
¡°Also, you can¡¯t spend these two days on the Lushan detachment. They have more important tasks to do.
"Old Taoist. Are there any bullies or evil gentry around here?"
"Brother Old Wolf, why do you ask about this?"
"You guys can't do this. Can I get you some supplies, whether it's food or weapons and ammunition?" Borshu said, "I still need your help next. I can't do it without eating and without strength!"
"this¡¡"
"In this way, if you choose a target, it doesn't matter if it's too far away. The closest one is stained with bad things. It's best if it's stained with the blood of the anti-Japanese team."
"Brother Old Wolf, there is one nearby. The three Majia brothers from Majiazhai are engaged in mining. They have unusual relations with the Japanese. They punch and kick the workers in the mine at every turn. Many of them had their legs broken, so they just drove them away. Come out and don't even pay for medical expenses!" Tian Xinliang said, "Before this, we were not afraid of them, but now we really can't afford to offend them!"
"How many men and guns does this Ma family brother have?"
"There are about two to three hundred people with guns, and a heavy machine gun!" Tian Xinliang said.
"How far is it from us now?"
"It's about forty miles away!"
"Forty miles, a round trip only takes two hours. It's raining outside now, which is a good opportunity for a sneak attack!" Borshu muttered to himself.
"Sneak attack?"
"By the way, are any of you familiar with the defense of Majiazhai?" Borshu asked.
"Of course we are familiar with this. We sent people to sneak in and worked as miners. The situation inside is very familiar, but we are not strong enough and dare not act rashly!" Tian Xinliang said.
"Okay, since we are familiar with the situation in Majiazhai, we will capture Majiazhai tonight!" Borshu said.
"Brother Old Wolf,""Yes" Tian Xinliang was dumbfounded.
"I won't say any more nonsense. Choose brothers who can still fight. Bring the guns and ammunition you can carry and follow me!" Borshu ordered.
"Brother Old Wolf, do you really want to attack Majiazhai?"
"Yes, Majiazhai has the food, weapons and ammunition you need. However, we cannot be exposed, so that you will not be suspected by others!" Borshu said, "However, in order to ensure that the news is not leaked, you give the following order It can¡¯t be said that we are attacking Majiazhai!¡±
"Then what did I say?"
¡°The headquarters has provided assistance with a batch of food, weapons and ammunition, and I want you to send people down the mountain to get them back!¡± Borshu said.
"Understood!" Tian Xin's conscience trembled. This was because he didn't trust his people, but this was understandable. He didn't know whether the "traitor" existed, so it was appropriate to keep secrets such as this under wraps. .
"I'll give you twenty minutes, and we'll set off in twenty minutes!" Borshu said, "Also, find me a guide who is familiar with Majia Village. I want to learn some information from him first."
"Okay, right away!"
In the main hall.
"What, the headquarters has provided a batch of food, weapons and ammunition, and you want us to send people down the mountain to get it now?"
"Yes, that's what the special envoy said. It's dark now, and there will be trouble when it gets light!" Tian Xinliang said.
"Old Taoist, is it still raining outside?" Su Rongshan frowned.
"I know, but we need this batch of grain now. The earlier it is transported up the mountain, the earlier we can have enough to eat, right?" Tian Xinliang said, "They said we should wait until tomorrow to get better before going up. I said There is almost no food left on the mountain, so we can¡¯t waste a moment.¡±
"It's strange, how did the headquarters transport food and weapons to the foot of the mountain?" Zhang Haitao asked.
"I don't know about that. The heads of the headquarters are all people with great powers, but they are not comparable to us frogs in the well!" Tian Xinliang said.
"Old Taoist, do you really believe that person is a special envoy sent by the headquarters?" Du Chengdong asked.
"Why don't you believe it?" Tian Xinliang said, "We are all in the hands of others now, and we can do whatever we want. What else can we do?"
"Old Du, you are too worried. We are all like this now. If they are enemies, do we need to bother so much?" Yu Huichuan said.
"This time I am going to get something from the foot of the mountain. Rongshan and Chengdong are coming with me. Each of them will bring fifty capable brothers to share the remaining dry food we have. We will eat before we set off!" Tian Xinliang ordered, " The rest of the people stay on the mountain and are ready to take us up the mountain at any time. When I am here, Huichuan will take charge of the affairs of the family!"
"yes!"
"Everyone, prepare to go. We will set off in twenty minutes. Those who stay on the mountain are not allowed to leave without orders. Violators will be subject to military law!" Tian Xinliang solemnly ordered!
Twenty minutes later, a team of about 150 people set off from Shengqing Palace, except for the 100 people from the Lushan detachment. The remaining two squadrons led by Borshu are short of one squad, with a total of forty-eight people.
A combat team was left on the mountain just in case.
"Old Taoist, where are we going to get food, weapons and ammunition?" After walking a third of the way down the mountain, Du Chengdong became more and more murmuring in his heart and couldn't help but ask.
"Majiazhai!"
"Majiazhai, isn't that the territory of the Majia brothers?" Du Chengdong and Su Rongshan, the other leader, were shocked.
"Yes!" Tian Xinliang nodded.
"Old Taoist, we only have a few people. If we go like this, isn't it like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?" Du Chengdong was anxious.
This is not to get something, but to die. The Ma brothers have nearly 300 people under their command. The Lushan detachment in its heyday is certainly not afraid. But the current Lushan detachment is not its opponent at all.
"The special envoy said that the war is not our responsibility, we only move things!" Tian Xinliang said.
"Old Taoist, why did you agree to this matter of dying?"
"The special envoy said that we only need to be responsible for the outer perimeter, not to let any fish slip through the net, and then wait to move things. Don't worry about the rest. How can I refuse?" Tian Xinliang actually didn't know what he was doing, but the current Lushan detachment was too Food, weapons and ammunition are needed. If it can really succeed, the morale and the hearts of the Lushan detachment will be reunited. This is what he hopes in his heart. If he doesn't even have the courage to take risks, then there is no point in fighting against Japan or serving the country. ?
The Ma brothers have been enjoying a good life recently, especially after they got together with the Japanese, started a mine together, and then sold the mined ore to the Japanese. Their pockets naturally bulged up and they organized a mine protection team.??Sold obsolete guns and ammunition from the Japanese, and their power surged!
The Ma brothers who became rampant forgot who their ancestors were. While working for the Japanese, they oppressed the people. If anyone didn't like it, they would catch him for absenteeism in the mine. Many innocent lives were lost at the hands of these brothers. !
The cruelty of the Ma brothers can be said to be outrageous, but with a gun in his hand and a Japanese backer, no one dared to offend him. Over time, he became a powerful traitor force near Lushan.
The Ma brothers were once hunted down by the Lushan detachment and almost lost their lives, so the hatred between the Ma brothers and the Lushan anti-Japanese detachment was insoluble.
"Old Taoist, since we want to beat the Ma family brothers, let's just call all the brothers down the mountain. We just don't have enough people to fill their teeth!" Du Chengdong suggested anxiously.
"The brothers on the mountain don't even have guns. If we fight, we will really die. Instead of doing this, we might as well fight!"
"The old man is right. I think the people brought by the special envoy are very extraordinary. Just a few dozen people easily captured the Holy Qing Palace and wiped out all of us without harming anyone. How many people can do this?" Su Rongshan Road.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of this!"
"Look, they are all dressed up like ghosts. When I first saw them, I was so scared that I broke out in cold sweat. Fortunately, I knew they were human beings, otherwise I would have thought I was seeing ghosts!" Du Chengdong said with lingering fear.
"Old Taoist, do you think they are" Su Rongshan was shocked and suddenly thought of something.
Tian Xinliang was also slightly surprised. It seemed that he was not the only one to notice it.
"It's hard to say, don't even guess, you will know what you need to know when the time comes!" Tian Xinliang stopped, "Follow me and speed up!"
