    "Aren't these the brothers from Erlong Mountain? Just right, just right. I didn't catch a few fish. But I kept some cans in the tent. Those who had big fish and meat in Erlong Mountain also ate yours, so I returned them here.  Right." Jin Batian saw an earthworm showing its head on the ground this morning when he was watching the scenery by the river.  Seeing earthworms, Jin Batian thought of fishing. He folded a small branch, used a pin to complete the fishhook, found a small dry wooden stick to make a fish float, and took out a transparent fishing line from his bag - originally  It is used to lay booby traps.

    With these simple equipment, Jin Batian launched a fully ecological fishing here, and he didn¡¯t make any nests. Naturally, his results were not very good.  But it doesn't matter if the fish is not caught, as this will catch a bunch of people from Erlong Mountain.

    ??The people in Erlong Mountain started running in the middle of the night, and after running for several hours with such belongings, they were already hungry and tired.  I heard that there were canned food, so I was greedy. When Jin Batian was a coach at Erlong Mountain, he naturally ate and drank when there was wine and food. When the food was not good, he opened canned food - officers and soldiers are equal, but there is no such thing in the Central Army.  This principle naturally means that officers should have better food than soldiers and receive more military rank subsidies. Otherwise, who would bother to become an officer?

    Being an officer in the Central Army is not that easy. You must graduate from Army University.  In addition to the wartime meritorious personnel recommended by each army, those who do not have a college degree must at least have a high school diploma. This diploma is only a stepping stone for the entrance exam.

    You can only enroll after passing the cultural test and physical fitness test, but enrolling is only the first step.  What awaits every new student in Mainland China is a half-year-long military training for new recruits, because these people will later be transferred to the army to serve as platoon leaders - those with excellent grades can only become company commanders. To be a platoon leader, you must at least have the ability to train troops.  Bar.  This ability to train soldiers is what they learned during the days of being trained.  The living standard in Mainland China is average. Since the first phase of Huangpu, everyone has lived by counting the grains of rice in their rice porridge. What¡¯s more, according to Zhang Zhizhong, the director of education at Mainland University, one-third of the new students in Mainland China¡¯s military training are not eliminated every year.  Cadets' military training is not considered qualified.

    Jin Batian personally dismantled the tent, and sure enough, there were piles of various kinds of canned meat inside like a hill. There was no market for can openers in the army, so Jin Batian was naturally unprepared. Everyone took the cans and opened them with bayonets.  eat.

    The boss also took the can and opened it, but it was obvious that his mind was not on the can.  He found Jin Batian with the can and asked, "Now Erlong Mountain can't go back. Where should these dozens of brothers go? Please ask Coach Jin to teach me."

    Jin Batian didn¡¯t do much research on this matter. His purpose was to use the road to go north. On the way, he could just kill a few Japanese.  Facing the boss's inquiry, Jin Batian said: "If you want to be safer, it's better to go to Liaoning and join General Ma Zhanshan. If you want to stay nearby to fight the Japanese, the boss has guns and cannons at this time, so are you afraid that there will be no one?"  "

    The head of the family thought the same thing. His Erlong Mountain grew from a small one to a big one. When he started, there were only about thirty people and a dozen quick guns.  Although there are fewer people in Erlong Mountain now, with only about 80 people, there are more than 100 fast guns, 18 crooked light machine guns, and 15 grenade launchers.

    There are also fifteen flower machines imitated by the Japanese and twenty-three tortoise boxes.  For the time being, there is no shortage of ammunition. These equipment can at least arm a team of two to three hundred people. With these teams, Jilin will not be able to go anywhere.  Those cottages with two to three hundred people probably don't have as much firepower as the current leader.

    As for going to Liaoning to join Mazhan Mountain, the boss has never thought about it. Maybe he will think about it after the Central Army has regained all the three northeastern provinces - but by then, it is estimated that the boss will also take off his armor and return to the fields, and go back to cultivate a few acres of land to make a living.  He had already surrendered to the Northeastern Volunteer Army, so why wait until today.

    He had this idea because Yun Zhonglong, who was born in the Northeast Army like Ma Zhanshan, knew all the bad rules in the Northeast Army. He knew that he might be able to become a company commander or something like that, but in the future in the Northeast Army  No one is talking about supplies, and even military pay is difficult to pay on time.  If you are a company commander and battalion commander, you must first get through the door of the quartermaster at the regiment headquarters. If you are a regiment commander and brigade commander, you must first get through the door of the quartermaster at the division headquarters.

    "I understand, I'm going to take the brothers to another place to continue fighting the Japanese. Will Coach Jin go with us?" the leader asked.  As for Coach Jin, although the boss was on guard against Coach Jin seizing power in Erlong Mountain, he had to admit that this leader still had two skills in fighting a war. At least he could seize the gun tower with his bare hands and go to the Anzhuang stronghold with ten people, which most people would not even dare to think about.  This man not only dares to think but also dares to do it.  What is amazing, this is amazing.

    "You can go together, you don't have to go together." Jin Batian doesn't mind helping everyone in Erlong Mountain before they can regain their footing. Speaking of which, it took a lot of effort for this team to have the current combat effectiveness.  of.

    At this time, the boss will naturally not be dissatisfied with the crowd.: "Then after dinner, Coach Jin will leave with us."

    Jin Batian said: "There are two more people to wait for. Didn't you see that my guards are not here?"

    The boss asked: "Them?"

    Jin Batian said: "I went to take a bath somewhere further away. I had a knife last night and the smell of blood was too strong."

    The boss immediately thought of the Japanese who had their throats cut in the three camps last night: "Last night, could it be that Coach Jin came to the rescue?"

    "It's not me, it's the two of them. Speaking of which, I'm a civilian, and I really haven't killed as many Japanese as they did."

    The leader clasped his fist and said, "I won't say much more about my life-saving grace. From now on, if the coach has something to do, he only needs to say one word, and no one in Erlong Mountain will not follow him."

    The two chatted for a while, but there seemed to be a tacit understanding. Neither of them talked about what would happen if the boss made up his mind to take everyone away with Jin Batian that day. Anyway, it was already in the past tense, and there was no point in discussing it.  What does that sentence say? There is no regret medicine in this world.  For the big boss, Erlongshan has lost more than fifty brothers in the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, which is a big lesson.  Jin Batian wouldn't be so blind as to expose people's scars.

    After the beauty came out of the bath, Shi Shiran came back in a complete set of new clothes, and the Erlongshan team was almost rested.  A group of people gathered again and set out on the road.

    On the way, the boss told his destination: go east, cross the Jaap Railway and walk a little further to the junction of Liuhe, Baishan and Tonghua counties.  It is true that there are Japanese troops stationed in these three counties, but the Japanese in the towns and villages at the junction of the three counties only rely on the local maintenance committees to maintain their existence. The Japanese have a total amount of food distributed to each place every year, and then they are gone.  The local area is still controlled by various forces, such as bandits, clan forces, landlords and Tuweizi. Of course, there are also some hardcore traitors in these days.

    Generally speaking, as long as one or two die-hard traitors or bandits with relatively serious crimes are eliminated in the local area and the people's support is gained, Erlongshan's forces will soon gain a foothold in the local area.  At that time, all it took was a note from the head of the family, Yun Zhonglong, and the nearby villages and towns had to hand over the so-called 'reasonable burden' honestly - yes, although Erlongshan was a bandit, there was no need to go door to door.  Robbed.  All you need to do is show off your muscles and send notes to major local businesses.

    As for where these "reasonable burdens" come from, they naturally take over from the force that was defeated when they showed off their muscles.  If the local big family refuses to come out, don't be afraid. Just bring your brothers and mount crooked machine guns and grenades to scare them. Generally speaking, few people regard money and food as more important than their lives.

    However, in this plan, crossing the railway is still a bit troublesome.  This railway was the lifeline of the Puppet Manchukuo from Busan to Changchun. The defense along the way consisted of trenches, barbed wire and densely packed bunkers, gun towers and strongholds. For the safety of transportation on this railway, the Japanese deployed a full armor along the railway.  Waiting for the division to come to guard the railway safety.

    "It's a pity that this first-class division is the Osaka Fourth Division. It didn't take long for everyone to know what this division was like after arriving locally.  If you meet a Japs who spend money generously in the towns near the Puppet-Manchukuo railway line, they must be from the Osaka Division. If you meet a Japs who are willing to sell out the interests of the empire for money and even give up their military dignity without hesitation.  It must be from the Osaka Division. If you encounter a devil who resells in-demand military supplies, it must be from the Osaka Division.  In the later stage, even if you saw a Japanese with a fat belly and a shiny face, he must be from the Osaka Division.

    The boss also has some contact with the merchant soldiers of the Osaka Division, and has successively bought more than a dozen fast guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition from them to arm the army.  This time, in order to cross the railway, the boss gave some ocean and mountain goods to the coordinator of the Osaka division. Soon, two Japanese soldiers respectfully sent the Erlongshan team across the Puppet-Manchukuo railway in batches that night.

    The two second lieutenants of the Osaka Division finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing off the group of guerrillas.  They knew about this Erlongshan guerrilla group, which had just killed most of the Imperial Army's regiment in the encirclement and suppression campaign in Liuhe County.  Although I don't know what the combat effectiveness of that regiment is, it is definitely much stronger than the Osaka Division that does business every day.

    With such fighting power, let alone giving money to cross the road, the Osaka division would not dare to provoke them even if they did not pay to cross the road. If a fight broke out, there would definitely be casualties. We are all from Osaka. It is not easy for us to go out and do some business.  Who would be better off dying?

    Jin Batian finally understood why his men, who had entered Jilin earlier, were still running on trains, the lifeline of the Puppet Manchukuo. Having troops like the Osaka Division sucking blood on the railway was much more cost-effective than simply blowing it up and destroying it.  Destroying this railway may mean that many volunteers and guerrillas will be without food.

    After passing the railway, it will be easier to talk about.  The team walked overnight at Xiaoxing for two and a half days since the breakout, and finally arrived at the junction of Liuhe, Baishan and Tonghua counties.?.

    There is a reason why the big boss likes this place. Although it is not a case of ignoring it, it is not much better. Everyone wants to take care of it, but for the time being, there is no power that can completely rule this area.  The armed forces here can be divided into three parts, ranging from strong to weak. The first part is the forces of the Japanese, puppet troops and traitors, the second part is the forces of bandits and volunteers, and the third part is the forces of the landlords and clans.

    After arriving at the local area, the boss found a small village to live in first, and distributed some foreign money to his eloquent and clever men to go to various places to find out the information here - bank notes, those things have always been used by the devils as military bills.  of.

    Although the rule of the market is that bad money drives out good money, what can the Japanese do? The Manchukuo Bank Notes of the Japanese are so inferior that they cannot drive out the good money from the market. Except for the cities where the Japanese garrison, silver coins and copper coins of various denominations are still in the market.  They are circulated in the markets in rural areas, especially when buying supplies that are in short supply, silver dollars are needed.

    At this time, Jin Batian mostly walked around to take a look.  The family that the big boss lived in was just an ordinary local wealthy family. The big boss came with guns and cannons. The rich family quickly moved to live with relatives, leaving the house and yard for these people. The nearby  The villagers also minimized their outing activities.  So Jin Batian didn't see any girls or wives that he wanted to see, but he did see a lot of local young men who admired Erlongshan guerrilla Yunzhonglong and came to join Erlongshan's team.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out the banner of Erlongshan Yunzhonglong, it was quite attractive at the junction of the three counties, and upon coming to take a look, in this large yard there were numerous machine guns and grenade launchers, and it was indeed a formidable force.  Many young men who did not like to spend their lives tending crops in the fields came to join the Erlongshan guerrillas. Through these locals, Yun Zhonglong also learned more about the local situation.

    Yun Zhonglong analyzed the three local forces in this way. The die-hard traitors who made their fortune here by relying on the Japanese and puppet troops must be eliminated. The bandits and volunteers who are similar in nature to his own team are mixed, and those with serious evil intentions must be eliminated.  The evil locks are also within the scope of attack.  As for the teams that sincerely resist Japan or defend their homeland, they are potential allies that can be won over or financial resources that can pay reasonable burdens.

    After three days of rest in the small village, Yun Zhonglong finally decided who to fight first.  That is Chengjiazhai, which is not far from here. Before September 18th, the Cheng family was just a local rich man who worked as a gunner for dozens of people. After the Japanese came, the eldest son of the Cheng family, Cheng Shuo, was the first to respond to the Japanese call.  The Japanese school received imperial education. After completing this course, Cheng Shuo worked as a translator for the Japanese army. Later, the translator's job was taken over by others, so Cheng Shuo began to use the banner of the imperial army to organize local maintenance committees and be responsible for  The Japanese collected grain and paid taxes. Seeing that Cheng Shuo was very loyal, the Japanese gave Cheng Shuo a batch of equipment to help the imperial army control the place.

    Through Cheng Shuo's fortune, the dozens of gunners in the family turned into hundreds and dozens, and the Cheng family also grew stronger. They bullied men and women, bullied the market, set up cards to collect taxes, loan sharks, opened opium dens, pawnshops and casinos, and betrayed the guerrillas.  I've done all the bad things.

    Yun Zhonglong, the leader of the family, came to the conclusion that the crime was so heinous that the people would not be outraged if he did not kill him.

    The most important thing is that the Cheng family has become a strong contender for the richest man in the neighborhood through its prosperity in the past few years. The elimination of Chengjiazhai will also be a great supplement to Erlong Mountain's supplies, money and food.

    So early on the fourth day, more than a hundred people from Erlong Mountain, including three women (Mrs. Yazhai, the head of the family), all set out and headed straight for the Cheng family village.

    The Cheng family has been a local snake who has been operating here for many years. Two days ago, they knew that a team was coming nearby. However, they also knew that the opponent's troops were strong and that each person was armed with two guns. In line with the principle of keeping water in a well and not in the river, Cheng  Although the family secretly increased their vigilance, they did not go to say hello to the people in Erlong Mountain.

    What the Cheng family originally thought was that since the other party settled in that village, the worst possible outcome would be to give that village to this team. There was no need to fight to the death - mainly because they felt that the other party was not a soft persimmon and could not be pinched.  The Cheng family has been able to gain a foothold in the neighborhood for so many years because of its three principles to survive and grow. These three principles are: to fawn over those who are stronger than themselves, and to bully those who are weaker than themselves.  , those who are similar in strength to their own will never interfere with the river.

    On this day, the Cheng family village was cautious enough and set up sentries in the distance. Only then did they know they were coming.  What the head of Erlongshan encountered was the tight defense of the Cheng family village.

    Before starting the fight, the leader asked Coach Jin for advice: "Coach Jin, do you think this village is suitable for fighting?"

    Jin Batian said: "You can attack such a small fence as you want. I heard that there are only two or three light machine guns with crooked handles inside. It can still block so many machine gun grenade launchers from the boss. I guess the grenade launchers are one  Just let the sheep go after the explosion, but we have to prevent important people from the Cheng family from jumping over the wall and running away."

      The boss nodded: "Then let's attack from all sides."

    While they were planning how to fight, someone in the village shouted: "I don't know which heroes are passing by outside. Our Master Cheng is willing to pay 500 yuan and 5000 kilograms of grain to buy peace."

    The first boss said: "Second boss, I don't have a good voice today and I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with them. You can do this."

    "Okay." After the second leader finished speaking, he stood up from the team and shouted loudly: "Let me tell you, we are from the Erlongshan guerrillas. If you have the sense, open the gate of the village early and surrender, giving you a way to survive. Otherwise, wait for our machine guns.  The artillery has flattened the stockade, and if it is not protected, there will be casualties."

    After the second master¡¯s voice was heard far away in the wilderness, the shouting in the village became quiet.  The boss took this opportunity to allocate teams. Each side should have several grenades and light machine guns to prevent people in the village from escaping.

    The second master finished shouting for a while and was wondering how to start another section. The figure on the wall opposite was shaking and a sound of "eight hooks" was heard. The second master saw a line of dust and smoke being blown out on the ground not far in front of him.

    The second master knew that even rifles such as the 38-gauge were not accurate at this distance. Besides, the second master was much shorter than the average person, and the bullet-receiving area was much smaller.  Seeing that the other party fired, he did not dodge or dodge and continued to shout at the top of his voice: "This is why you are toasting and not eating, but you have to drink fine wine. You must know that we are here because your Cheng family village has done too much evil. We will fight in a while  Get up, don¡¯t blame us Erlongshan for being cruel.¡±

    After saying the harsh words, the second boss quickly ran to the back.  Even if the bullet-receiving area is small, it doesn't mean that you can never hit it. After the official business is done, it is better to stay away from the danger.

    After the boss laid out the attack plan, he said: "Whether we can raise the banner of Erlong Mountain and whether we can stand in this area depends on this first battle. Today, we have to use the Cheng family stockade to carve out a future for Erlong Mountain."  ." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
