The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 327 The Real Career

The 17 villages around Taohuashan do not obey the king’s law and only recognize Taohuashan. They do not need to pay a penny of tax to the government, nor do they need to pay a penny of protection fees to Taohuashan. They are only responsible for providing supplies to Taohuashan. Obtain corresponding profits, provide paid labor, and now live a well-off life relying on Taohuashan.

Any government organization, even a group of bandits, they provide protection for the people within a certain range, they want to obtain manpower or material resources from them, only Taohuashan is an exception, never take advantage of the villagers, the villagers of 17 villages We, our ancestors have never heard of such a thing for generations, let alone thought that such a good thing will be their turn.

In order to protect their vested interests, the hearts of the villagers turned to Taohuashan. They not only consciously took on the task of reporting to Taohuashan, but also spontaneously organized and established a village army team, which in fact formed the surrounding Taohuashan. The military organization added another barrier to the safety of Taohuashan.

Two days ago, they received a notice that Gao Jiuye, the head of Taohuashan, was going to meet them and tell them about cooperating with Taohuashan to carry out joint defense and joint protection.

Before the meeting started, Zhang Quan first provided Gao Jiu with a roster.

The 17 villages vary in size and population.The largest village has 2120 people, and the smallest village has only a dozen households, with a total population of 72.The number of corresponding militia organizations also varies greatly, with as many as 112 members and the smallest as only 8 members.But the total number adds up to a lot, reaching 577 people.

Zhang Quan has made an agreement with them that Taohuashan will provide all the weapons and equipment of the militia, and Taohuashan will also be responsible for the military training. They are usually responsible for the security of their village, and they will strictly check strangers to prevent enemy agents. Enter Taohuashan Mountain.When encountering a large number of enemy invasions, report to Taohuashan in time, and the Taohuashan guerrillas will be responsible for repelling the enemies.

Usually each village fights on its own, and accepts the unified command of Taohuashan when necessary.Don't underestimate these militia teams. They are familiar with the local people's terrain and can effectively prevent enemy agents from entering the Taohua Mountains in normal times. They are also a very impressive armed force when they are unified and organized at critical moments.

Gao Jiu introduced the relevant situation to Xiao Yatong, and Xiao Yatong said: "Ah Jiu, I didn't expect that you have such a good relationship with the people around you, just like the heroes who robbed the rich and helped the poor on the Liangshan River in the water, but did better than them. it is good."

Zhang Quan liked the stories in the Water Margin since he was a child, and worshiped the heroes in it. He was very happy to hear Xiao Yatong's comparison. It is more than ten times stronger than the five tiger generals with the highest martial arts in there, and our special forces are also much stronger than Liangshan Army."

Feng Xiucai thought that Zhang Quan had missed the point. He said: "The most important thing is that what Shuibo Liangshan does is to fight against corrupt officials. What we do is to expel the Japanese invaders and protect the family. The realm of Liangshan is much higher."

At this time, the guard captain Geng Hua came in and said, "Master Jiu, the village chiefs and militia captains are all here."

Gao Jiu said: "Miss, your identity must be kept secret. If you are willing to go, please wear a veil."

Xiao Yatong pondered for a moment, then she said: "Ah Jiu, I don't know much about your affairs, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Gao Jiu said: "There is no secret to you here, just tell me."

Xiao Yatong said: "Ah Jiu, your reputation is too great, the Japanese hate you deeply, and you often go to and from the Japanese war zone, the less people who see your face, the better.

Now that there are so many people here, although you have put on makeup, your height, face shape, and body shape have not changed. If you meet someone with painting experience, they will probably draw your original appearance. Can this matter be arranged? What about others? "

Feng Xiucai also said worriedly: "The head of the family, what the eldest lady said is reasonable, you should not go to this matter, and I will go with the second head of the family."

Zhang Quan said: "Yes, Master Jiu, Missy is really considerate, you should not go in person. There is an old saying, by the way, it is called Shenlong who sees the head but does not see the end, the less you show up, the villagers The more I am in awe of you, the more effective your words will be."

Actually, Gao Jiu didn't need to meet these villagers directly, he just wanted Xiao Yatong to know more about Peach Blossom Mountain.Hearing that everyone made sense, he decided to accept everyone's opinions.He said: "You are right, I will not go to this matter."

Speaking of this, Gao Jiu gave Xiao Yatong a thumbs up.

Xiao Yatong smiled sweetly at Gao Jiu. They are connected with each other, and they have a tacit understanding with each other. Many things don't need to be expressed in words.

Gao Jiu accompanied Xiao Yatong back to the guest room. Zhang Quan and Feng Xiucai went to meet the village chiefs and militia captains. Some villages had already issued weapons. bullet.

In order to encourage the enthusiasm of the militiamen for training, it is stipulated that the militiamen should spend as much spare time as possible in the training of the militiamen. They will conduct off-the-job training for two months every year, and each person will be subsidized a piece of ocean every month.The village head and militia captains were very happy to see that the Taohuashan guerrillas had thought of them so well.

Zhang Quan arranged for them to visit the training of the Taohuashan special forces, which was an eye-opener for them.Then they were invited to a banquet, and each of them gave them a pair of suede shoes before leaving.The village head and militia captains left Peach Blossom Mountain contentedly with the weapons and gifts they had received.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the second day, all the staff of Taohuashanzhai came to the newly built martyrs cemetery on the top of the mountain except for the team members who were on duty.Xiao Yatong specially changed into a dark dress, and followed Gao Jiu to the Martyrs Cemetery.

The martyrs' cemetery is solemn and solemn, with pines and cypresses all over the place, and small flowers dotted on the well-manicured lawn like stars.Although materials such as marble and white marble cannot be brought in due to limited conditions, the monument to the martyrs in the middle of the cemetery is still built tall and solemn.In the center of the monument is engraved with "Anti-Japanese Heroes Are Immortal". The inscription is from Gao Jiu's hand. The handwriting is correct and powerful, adding to the solemnity of the monument.

At 25:[-], in front of the monument, the special forces, guards, and logistics teams lined up in three squares facing the monument.

At [-]:[-], the inauguration ceremony of the Taohuashan Martyrs Cemetery officially began.

Feng Xiucai, as the host, announced loudly: "The inauguration ceremony of the Taohuashan Martyrs Cemetery and the Memorial Service for the Anti-Japanese Martyrs begin now."

Following his shout, eight special forces members with rifles walked towards the monument in neat steps.When they reached the front of the monument, one of the soldiers gave the command: "Stand still, turn left, turn right."

Eight soldiers walked to both sides of the monument and stood at attention.

Feng Xiucai announced: "Next, I invite Gao Jiu, who is the leader of Taohuashan, to give an opening speech." Gao Jiujiu was wearing a black special forces uniform and walked to the front of the three square teams.He said: "Wars are everywhere, mountains and rivers are broken, and the great rivers and mountains of the motherland are being trampled by the Japanese invaders. The guerrillas in Taohua Mountain fought against the Japanese invaders with their flesh and blood in order to expel the Japanese invaders and return our lands and mountains. wrestling.

During this period, 14 special forces members have sacrificed their precious lives.They are so young, they left us forever before they tasted the taste of love.

Their names are Guo Xiaofen, Zhang Laixi, Feng Dashan....

Gao Jiu read the names of each martyr and briefly introduced their life stories.

After reading the list of personnel, Gao Jiu said: "Now, let us pay a silent tribute to the martyrs." After speaking, he turned around and faced the monument.

Feng Xiucai shouted, "Take off your hat."

Gao Jiu took the lead in taking off his hat, and everyone followed suit.

Feng Xiucai shouted: "One bow, two bows, three bows. The ceremony is complete."

Then, Feng Xiucai shouted: "Salute to the martyrs."

"Papa, papa." The eight soldiers standing on both sides of the monument each fired nine times into the sky.

Next, Feng Xiucai shouted: "Now, I invite Chen Xiuju, the representative of the martyrs' families, to speak."

Chen Xiuju is Grandma Chen who adopted Guo Xiaofen. With the support of Zhang Quan and Wang Sanniang, she tremblingly walked to the front of the monument.

Grandma Chen lost her husband when she was in her 30s, lost her son later, and adopted Guo Xiaofen when she was in her 50s.She had a lot of fate and was lonely for half her life, so she was counting on Guo Xiaofen to take care of her until the end of her life.When she heard the news of Guo Xiaofen's sacrifice, she shed tears all day long, and her eyes, which were already suffering from serious eye diseases, became more serious.

With the support of the two, Grandma Chen walked to the front of the queue and turned around tremblingly.She didn't know what to say, so she yelled "Second Baby" and broke down in tears.

She originally had a son, but after his death, she adopted Guo Xiaofen.Although there is a huge age gap between the two, she treats Guo Xiaofen as her son, so she calls him "Second Baby".

Gao Jiu stepped forward and comforted her kindly: "Grandma Chen, you have raised a good child. Guo Xiaofen is gone. We in Taohuashan are all your children, and we will take care of you until the end of your life. Tell everyone Have something."

Chen Xiuju wiped away her tears and said: "The head of the family, I was a widow when I was young, and later my son died. When I got old, I adopted my second child. He was very sensible and obedient since he was a child. We depended on each other for life. Finally, we have something to look forward to.

Who would have thought that I would still be a white-haired man giving a black-haired man after all.He hasn't married yet, so he just left me, I..."

Having said that, she couldn't help crying again.

After a while, she wiped away her tears again, and said, "Master, the second baby followed you to beat devils, I don't regret it, I am proud of him. If I still have the third baby, I will let him follow you, Continue to fight devils."

Grandma Chen is not educated, so it is not easy to say so much.Her words are simple and plain, but they have great shocking power.

Gao Jiu's eyes were moist, and the team members were also very moved, and the women were even more emotional, and many of them began to sob.

Seeing the touching scene in front of her, Xiao Yatong couldn't help shedding tears.

Gao Jiu said loudly: "The team members of Peach Blossom Mountain, don't look at the devils who are now rampant and seem to be invincible. However, we have brave and fearless fighters like Guo Xiaofen, and a broad masses of people who support us like Grandma Chen, we will definitely be able to defeat Difficulties, and finally drive the devils out of China!"

Having said that, he raised his right hand and shouted the slogan: "Expel the Japanese invaders, and return my country."

The team members were very emotional, and shouted loudly along with Gao Jiu.

"Expel the Japanese aggressors, and return my rivers and mountains."

The resonant voices of hundreds of people gathered into a huge sound wave, roaring straight into the sky.

Xiao Yatong originally thought that she had accomplished something in business and was proud of her career.Only at this time did she realize that in the magnificent era of the Anti-Japanese War, her own career was so insignificant compared with the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War that the anti-Japanese fighters in Taohuashan were engaged in.At this moment, she felt that her thoughts began to sublimate, and she felt even more admiration for Gao Jiu and his guerrillas in Peach Blossom Mountain.

After the morning meeting, Feng Xiucai announced that all guerrillas in Taohuashan, regardless of men, women, or children, would be responsible for supporting their immediate family members as long as they sacrificed their lives for the country in the future.From now on, all the guerrillas on Taohua Mountain will not have any worries.

The memorial service is over, and Gao Jiu and everyone in charge returned to the Juyi Hall.Gao Jiu said: "The sad moment is over, and life must go on. In order for everyone to recover as soon as possible, while I am still in Taohua Mountain, let's hold a wedding for Huang Banxian and Sun Widow."

Everyone in charge expressed their approval, Gao Jiu said: "Miss! Why don't you help prepare for the wedding."

Gao Jiu was worried that Xiao Yatong would feel lonely in the cottage, and through this matter, let her get in touch with everyone more.

Xiao Yatong was not familiar with everyone, and was alone in the guest room.If Gao Jiu was busy, she would feel a little lonely.Seeing Gao Jiu's arrangement, she said happily, "Okay, I'm willing to help."

Gao Jiu immediately sent someone to call Wang Sanniang, told her about Shanzhai's decision to hold a wedding for Huang Banxian'er, and asked her to accompany Xiao Yatong to meet Huang Banxian'er and Widow Sun.

Wang Sanniang was very happy, and she said to Gao Jiu: "The head of the family, it's good to have happy events, and we should do more things like this in the future." Then, she looked at Feng Xiucai.

Gao Jiu noticed Wang Sanniang's subconscious action, and said with a smile, "Wang Sanniang, when will we hold your wedding?"

Wang Sanniang said with a smile: "Master, don't joke with me, I just want to get married, but no one wants me."

Zhang Quan said with a smile: "I said Feng Xiucai, but you are talking. Wang Sanniang has made everything clear. Don't you hurry up and express your opinion?"
