march to victory

"Brother, what about those women?"

Hearing this, Mr. Wednesday kicked him aside angrily, pointed at his nose and roared, "If you want to die, just say it! Why, you forgot the rule that I set for not bullying the wives and daughters of ordinary people!" ...Second brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, you know what I hate the most, and you saw how I made the blood oath at the beginning. You want women, there are plenty of them in the brothel, but you have to dare to bully ordinary people Wife and daughter, hey! Hey! Even if I know you by then, my knife will not know you..."

Then he pointed to the direction he came from, and shouted: "Now, immediately! Go back to me immediately and give those women ten yuan each, no! 50 yuan each, and you take someone to send them home .If you dare to make the slightest mistake, you'd better ask God to bless me so that I don't run into you. Get out!"

The big bald head saw that Master Zhou was really angry, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to turn his head back and ran away.

No one can guarantee whether Lord Zhou has robbed ordinary people, but one thing is for sure: after he successfully escaped from prison, he really never bullied women again.Because after successfully escaping from prison, he hid in the house of a widow who was close to him. The widow was really kind and righteous to him, and she was abused and did not reveal his hiding place. In the end, she could not bear the humiliation and hanged herself.In front of several confidantes and the widow clansman, Lord Wednesday knelt down in front of her grave, bit his finger and made a bloody oath: He will never bully the wives and daughters of the common people in this life, otherwise he will have no children and grandchildren, and there will be no place for him to die .

"Company Commander Zhang, I am incapable of discipline, which makes you laugh."

To be honest, Zhang Qingshan, who is used to life in the Red Army, saw that although Master Zhou was trying his best to conceal his bandit side, he would still show a little inadvertently. At first, Zhang Qingshan felt a little uncomfortable, but thinking about it, the other party has always been This kind of life, he felt normal again.Being able to cover it up with his mind shows that he is still afraid of the Red Army, and that's enough.

"It's okay." Zhang Qingshan smiled lightly, and then said with a smile: "I heard that this battle was fought very hard. In the spirit of comrades, why don't you take us to have a look?"

"Ha! Ha! This way, please." God knows how much reluctance is hidden in his hearty laugh, but the situation is stronger than others. If he dares to object, Zhang Qingshan will have to doubt his identity, and the consequences will be absolutely serious—— Once it is confirmed that he is really a bandit, and that he is the largest bandit in this county, the Red Army will definitely do its best to encircle and suppress him.

When everyone came to the entrance of the cave, they could see some bandits carrying corpses out from a distance, and they placed them carefully on both sides. Interestingly, there were many more corpses on the left side of the cave entrance than those on the right, but some bandits Still put the body to the left. .

"So many casualties?" Standing by the entrance of the cave, Zhang Qingshan looked at it with some surprise. He guessed that the total number of corpses on both sides would not be less than sixty. He was a little shocked—it was just a cave, and he just died. many?

"This is Big Beard's most elite team. If we encircle and annihilate them, the casualties will inevitably be greater..." With so many casualties, he felt a little distressed.But when it came to this, he showed a bit of domineering: "But from now on, the bearded man will no longer be able to harm the common people. This is also a great relief. All sacrifices are meaningful and worthwhile."

Zhang Qingshan nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, but Hu Yingze asked puzzledly: "Why are there so many corpses here, why are they still placed here?"

"The people here are all bearded people." Master Zhou explained: "This is the rule on the Green Forest Road. It is also convenient for burial and future sacrifices."

Hu Yingze nodded, did not speak, but glanced at Zhang Qingshan.The two looked at each other, and they both saw another question from each other.

"Adhering to comrades, I didn't expect you to fight so well and let them die so much. You have to teach me." Whether it is attacking a city or seizing land, as long as the defending side has evidence to defend, then the attacking side Casualties on one side are often no less than those on the defensive side.But right now, the bearded man's casualty rate is definitely more than twice that of Lord Wednesday.

"Lieutenant Zhang, please don't praise me. This is also a long-term preparation, and I only saw the effect today."

It turned out that Lord Zhou really endured this week.When he was figuring out who put him in jail, Master Zhou was silent on the surface, but sent his henchmen to sneak into the bearded team.Over the past few years, Master Zhou did not contact him, in order to be able to act as a surprise soldier at the most critical moment and deal a fatal blow to the bearded man.Now it seems that the effect is really huge.He also heard Zhang Qingshan give a thumbs up to Master Zhou.

"Third brother, has the interrogation come out? Where is our county magistrate hiding?" At this moment, he saw a tall and thin man coming out of the cave while wiping his sweat with his sleeves. Master Zhou hurriedly asked.

Seeing that everyone looked over with concern, the tall and thin man froze, then smiled wryly and shook his head: "Brother, the trial has come out, but our county magistrate is suspicious by nature, so he followed the bearded man around here. Afterwards, he threw off the man sent by Big Beard to him, and with a few confidantes, he ran away without a trace."

Run away, run away, anyway, this is not the first time the county magistrate has run away.Zhang Qingshan and the others didn't care, they went into the cave accompanied by Master Zhou personally... If Zhang Qingshan knew that the county magistrate he asked casually was among the captives at this time, and was deliberately hidden by Master Zhou, I don't know what he will think: think about it, he is the county magistrate after all, and after the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps leave, he will come back and continue to be his county magistrate, that is to say, this county magistrate is a treasure, At this moment, controlling the county magistrate will allow him to be a puppet county magistrate in the future. In addition, his old opponent, Big Beard, is dead.With this thought in mind, who would easily hand over this treasure?

"Instructor Hu, Company Commander Zhang, no one knows my identity, so how about we get along as friends from the rivers and lakes later?"

They naturally agreed.

Passing along the way, there is a faint smell of gunpowder and blood everywhere, which shows how fierce the battle was at that time.

This hole is gourd-shaped, with a small opening, but the inside of the hole is very large.Everyone walked in for more than 100 meters, but they came to the fork.After walking another 50 meters to the small hole on the left, I saw two bandits standing guard.After going in for more than ten meters, I saw a guy who looked like a butler, holding a brush in one hand and a notebook in the other, and was constantly listening to the reports of the people below.

"This is my fourth sworn brother, and also the chief housekeeper of the cottage." He told Zhang Qingshan, but did not introduce the person's name.Zhang Qingshan didn't care, but Hu Yingze beside him was engaged in political work. Upon hearing this, he frowned slightly, but the current environment did not allow him to say more, so he took a deep look at the back of Master Zhou , glanced at Zhang Qingshan again, and remained silent.

"Fourth, how's the count?"

"Brother, it's almost there, and the only thing left is food." Respectfully handed the book to Lord Wednesday: "Brother, please check it out. With this big income, the brothers in the cottage will have a year or two The good times passed."

What the Red Army lacks most now is food. After hearing what he said, Zhang Qingshan turned around and looked around, but he couldn't see it. He couldn't help but ask him: "My friend, where is the food?"

The fourth child raised his eyes to look at Zhang Qingshan, and then at Master Zhou.

"Fourth, this is my benefactor, one of my own, you can answer truthfully whatever you ask."

"Yes!" Only then did the fourth child point to a place blocked by several door panels, and said, "All the food is placed there."

Zhang Qingshan immediately walked quickly, but after taking two steps, he thought of something, stopped, looked back at Hu Yingze who was about to follow, and then looked at the account book in Master Zhou's hand, winking .After all, there is an old partner who has a tacit understanding, Hu Yingze received the signal, and immediately smiled at Master Zhou Zhou: "Third Master, your harvest this time is really huge... Ha! Ha! Congratulations."

Master Zhou Zhou is definitely an old Jianghu, after hearing this, and seeing Hu Yingze saying so, but keeping his eyes on the account book in his hand, he still doesn't understand what it means.Although he was upset, he smiled on his face, handed the account book to Hu Yingze and said with a smile: "If Hu is in charge, don't be sarcastic about your brother. We have already agreed that we only need [-]% of the income here."

"Big brother~!"

The fourth child cried out in astonishment, but Master Zhou Zhou turned his head and stared at him fiercely. He is also an old Jianghu, so he immediately shut up, but his eyes looked at Hu Yingze. Obviously, he had a strong feeling for Hu Yingze's identity. curiosity.

Hu Yingze was not too polite, and actually read it carefully in front of the two of them.

Zhang Qingshan brought a few soldiers to the entrance of the cave where the food was stored. After the soldiers opened the door, Zhang Qingshan walked in and wandered around. There are tens of thousands of catties of grain, but from what we can see now, it is estimated that it is only eight thousand catties at most.

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan was not excited, Hu Yingze asked strangely: "How is it?"

"It's a bit small, I guess it's only eight thousand catties at most."

Hu Yingze also frowned: This little food is really a drop in the bucket for the current situation of the entire Red Second and Sixth Army.

"You two masters, brother, what should I ask? Guishanzhai is short of food now?"

The two of them almost swiped at the same time to look at Lord Wednesday, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Why, does the third master have food in his hand?"

"I don't have much food on hand, but I know where I can buy food." After answering a sentence, he made a gesture of invitation: "Please take a step to speak."

The three of them came to a corner, and seeing no one on either side, Master Zhou Zhou whispered, "Forgive me, you two, it's my fault that I suddenly saw my own team. In a moment of excitement, I forgot my duty: when the Central Red Army left At that time, I was given a lot of tasks, one of which was to provide food for the Red Army if it came again... It's just that the physical and chemical location is remote and the food is scarce, so I can't store a lot of this aspect. But I can get it from other sources To buy food, it is..."

The moods of the two of them have long been ups and downs following his words. Now when they heard his hesitation, it was obvious that there was something hard to say, and they immediately asked in unison: "What is it?"
