Chapter 728 Bandits With Backers
The aunt was stunned for a moment: "These grains are your rations, so hurry up and take them away, we can't take them!"

Aunt Ganqing originally thought that the food Captain Yang brought was for them to help cook.

Captain Yang smiled: "Aunt Wang, don't worry. This time, we have prepared a large amount of food, and we are trying to transport it to the enemy-occupied area. I need to ask you to ask those young girls who have not bound their feet to help."

"There! Don't look at me as old, I can move." The aunt's face quickly unfolded: "The girls are all hidden in the tunnel, I'll go and call them out!"

After the aunt finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the village, bouncing her little feet.

Captain Yang was stunned: "Hey, don't worry, the food hasn't been delivered yet, hurry up and move these two bags of food away first."

The aunt turned to look at Captain Yang: "I'll ask my daughters to come out and meet the comrades of the work team, or one day I'll leave this old bone, and no one in the village will know you!"

Looking at the hunched back in the distance, Captain Yang was silent for a while, then lowered his voice and asked: "Counselor Hu, when will the batch of rations you mentioned arrive?"

"It should be just this period of time!" Hu Yi was a little surprised: "Didn't you send a batch over a while ago?"

"If it weren't for the batch of food you sent, I guess you will come here this time, and there probably won't be any people in these villages!" Captain Yang was lonely. There were not many people in the village, about twenty people.

Gao Yidao frowned and asked: "She said just now that there is still food in hiding?"

"Some time ago, we sent some food to Baobai Village, but there are too many people in the base area with just such a small amount of food, and they can't last for a few days at all!"

"Aren't there any landlords around here?"

Captain Yang smiled wryly with resentment: "When the devils raided, they directly robbed them. The puppet army arrested people if they didn't pay allotments. The sects were even more ruthless. If they knew which houses had food, they would directly kidnap tickets and blackmail them. Landlords with a little wealth either joined the council, or early I just ran away, how can the common people survive? The superiors also asked us not to hunt down local tyrants, so we borrowed money from those big families, you all know that. In these days, how can people be willing?"

Gao Yidao suddenly thought of something: "Hey, Captain Yang, let me tell you something."

"Uh, what's the matter?"

Gao Yidao glared at Hu Yi next to him with a dark face, and then lowered his voice: "Are there any bandits nearby?"

Captain Yang shook his head: "You mean to suppress the bandits? I advise you not to think about them. They also ate their last meal and didn't stop their meal."

Gao Yidao smiled mysteriously: "How about we attack the grain train on the Devil's Railway?"

"I have thought of all the ways I can think of. The devils are heavily guarded against the railways. After the guerrillas did two votes, the devils stepped up patrols on the railway transportation and increased the escort force on the trains. There is no way to do this."

"There is a place, but Captain Yang looked to the south.

Hu Yi who was next to him suddenly said, "You mean our friendly army? If it doesn't work, you can discuss it with the national army in the south."

"Negotiations will definitely fail. Our sub-district commanders are personally involved. They don't accept this at all. The reason for the refusal is very simple. The national army has issued a strict order that no grain of grain should enter the enemy-occupied area. Otherwise, it will be punished as collaborating with the enemy. Even if you have money, you can't buy it!"

Gao Yidao glanced at Hu Yi: "If there is a group of bandits nearby, and that bandit just robs the national army of food."

Captain Yang immediately came to his senses: "Snatching food? Deliberately creating friction, this is a serious violation of discipline and can't be done."

Gao Yidao curled his lips: "Have you forgotten? Two years ago, the Kuomintang and devils attacked my base area?"

"Both of you, I'll pretend I didn't hear about it. You can't say anything more." After Captain Yang finished speaking, he picked up a bag of food on the ground, turned around and left.

When Captain Yang walked away, Hu Yi looked at Gao Yidao: "I heard that the bandits in Heihuzhai who are active in the west have entered the enemy's battle zone. What do you think of this?"

Gao Yidao clenched his fists with a dark face: "Those bandits in Heihuzhai should consider the idea of ​​the national army."

Hu Yi was a little speechless. This was the same as looking for Li Youde before. However, the division commander surnamed Li was far away in the mountainous area in the west, so he couldn't do this. Their idea is a good choice.

. . .

More than ten miles to the north, Wang Sanzhu, the bandit leader who took refuge in the devils, led a team of more than 100 people all the way south from Neihuang County.

Seeing that it was getting dark, one of the subordinates was a little worried: "Commander, there are eight-way activities here, should we be more careful?"

"The more you follow Lao Ziguan, the more you get involved, but the burden is getting smaller and smaller? The Imperial Association Army just pulled a net to sweep it, and the eight roads ran away long ago. What are you afraid of?"

"We are fine porcelain, and if we collide with the broken bricks and tiles of Balu, isn't it a big loss?"

"Are you afraid of Tubalu with two or three bullets in the gun?"

"I just think that if we accept the appointment of the National Army and the adaptation of the Imperial Army, if they find out, won't it be a mouse drilling the bellows and getting angry at both ends?"

"You idiot, haven't you heard of the word "both sides are right?"

"Hey, brother, you are educated and went to a military academy. How can you compare with you brother?"

"Don't flatter me, we are the Royal Association Army in the city, and we are the guerrillas of the National Army when we go out of the city. If we really meet the Eight Route Army, we will highlight the identity of the Ming National Army. He dares to touch me with a long hair , I can make him walk around without food!"

"What if the eighth way is playing tricks? His martial arts teams are all-pervasive. I heard that the second lieutenant of the imperial army who hacked the artillery building yesterday."

"Don't be disheartened. In the area, he has fewer people with guns than I do. How dare he challenge me with his unrefined martial arts team who only know how to shoot black guns?"

"Commander, you know that's not what I meant. It's just that Brigadier Tang, a general under Commander Li of the First Route Army, died in the hands of the Eighth Route Army last year. We have to guard against it."

"I said that it's only been two days since you entered the city, and after you married a daughter-in-law, you became so fearful?"

"We're going to your old man's house now, do you dare to say it wasn't the idea of ​​that bitch from the Zhou family?"

"Hey, when will it be your turn to talk about my family affairs?"

The team continued to advance, and Commander Wang felt that this area was not that scary. He had more than 100 people, and now the national army guerrillas with strong roots, who would dare to say no to him in this area?
dark.

Swaggering into a village.

The villagers also gathered directly at the entrance of the village as usual.

The village head of the villagers recognized Commander Wang, and trotted forward to cup his hands: "Oh, it's Commander Wang. Now that you're back in our village, are you looking for the Eighth Route?"

"What the hell, I just said hello, did the Imperial Association Army come to trouble you two days ago?"

"Fortunately, before the Imperial Association Army came here, every household in our village hid all their food, and nothing happened!"

"This time the Imperial Association Army is here to catch the Eighth Route Army." Commander Wang scolded the fawning village chief, "What are you doing standing still, you old boy? Hurry up and bring someone to cook for the team. We brought the food ourselves. Hurry up and find the third master, and bake the steamed buns for tomorrow noon."

The village chief immediately gave a thumbs up: "The righteousness of the master."

Commander Wang shook his head: "Don't talk to me, I still don't like your precious sorghum rice, even if you feed it to my dog, the dog won't eat it!"
