march to victory

"Old man Li Yinghua, on behalf of all the villagers in Lijia Village, thank you heroes for your help!"

After the pursuit was over, as soon as he returned to Lijia Village, he saw Li Yinghua leading a large number of villagers to Li Feng.

Seeing that the old man was about to kneel while talking, while the other villagers had already kneeled, how could Li Feng really accept their kneeling thanks.

"Don't dare to be so, please get up...everyone, get up quickly." He quickly stepped forward and supported Li Yinghua who was about to kneel down.After helping Li Yinghua, and waiting for the villagers to stand up one after another, Li Feng said to Xiang Tao and the second platoon leader: "Send people to guard, lest the bandits go and return... The rest of the people immediately rescue the wounded, bury the dead, and help the people rebuild their lives." home."

"Yes!"

After Xiang Tao explained to the first squad leader, he took two soldiers to protect Li Feng at every step.

But Li Feng held Li Yinghua's hand and said with a smile: "Old man, we are the Eighth Route Army and the people's own team. It is right to help the people, and there is no need to thank them."

"This saved the lives of all the people in our Lijia Village, so what if we don't repay them well?" As he spoke, Li Yinghua turned around and said to the people behind him, "Hurry up and tidy up your things, and then take the best things at home. Bring out all the wine, butcher pigs and sheep, and welcome the heroes of the Eighth Route Army."

It really is clan supremacy!

Li Yinghua didn't speak, and the villagers could only follow patiently even if they were worried about the things at home.Now, after receiving the words of the patriarch, they immediately took action... This is the result of the rule of the clan concept, and even some extremely majestic patriarchs have great power, and a word can determine life and death.

"The old man's house is in the back of the mountain, and there are no details of the bandits... I also invite the officer to have a cup of tea at home and rest."

"Then disturb the old man."

Everyone talked as they walked.

"Sir, I take the liberty of asking you, where is your Eighth Route Army stationed?"

"The headquarters of our Eighth Route Army is in Yan'an. Now, the countermeasures are coming here to establish a united front and work together with devils big and small."

Li Yinghua nodded slightly, thought for a while, and asked again: "Then how many people do you have?"

"Tens of thousands of people."

Li Yinghua nodded again... In fact, Li Yinghua is smart, and there is a purpose in asking: Find out about your troops and where they are stationed. I want to sue you - Li Yinghua only saw Xiang Tao and the others before, but now with the second platoon, there are 60 to [-] people, and they are equipped with excellent weapons.Of course, Li Yinghua was also prepared in his heart to be blackmailed. He even planned in his heart that if Xiang Tao and the others didn't ask for much, he planned to give some. After all, it was a life-saving grace!

And he inquired so in detail, there is another purpose: today he has formed a death feud with the bandits of Jigong Mountain, and he has to find a way to deal with the bandits of Jigong Mountain. The best helpers are naturally these people in front of him. Give them some money and encourage them to wipe out the bandits in Jigong Mountain, that's how you put your heart into it.Otherwise, after these people leave, the bandits from Jigong Mountain will definitely come to retaliate, and at that time, they will really kill people... Today, the bandits from Jigong Mountain suffered a big loss in Lijia Village, and so many people died The bandits don't care whether these people who helped Li's Village were just a coincidence or specially invited helpers, let alone listen to the explanations of the people in Li's Village. If you come to loot, you will definitely come to revenge.He even invited other bandits to bloodbath the Li family village.

Therefore, Li Yinghua paid more attention to how to understand this matter.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been by Li Yinghua's side and helped him walk suddenly said, "Father, I really want to hear about the Eighth Route Army somewhere."

Xiang Tao took it with a smile: "Have you heard of the assault group?"

"Of course I've heard of it." The middle-aged man immediately said, "I've not only heard of it, but I've also seen it with my own eyes. After the assault group came here, they fought against the little devils and the second devils in this area, and the little devils who fought ran away. , and killed a lot of second devils, it's really relieved... No, when the assault regiment attacked the county, I happened to be doing business in the city, but I saw with my own eyes that the assault regiment's people were desperate to fight, it was very powerful , beat the little devil and the second devil to the ground in a few strokes..."

After bragging about the assault regiment, he suddenly came to his senses and asked Xiang Tao suspiciously, "Is this assault regiment related to the Eighth Route Army?"

Xiang Tao enjoyed this flattery very much, even though he was filming the entire assault group, he still enjoyed it.

Hearing this, he smiled and nodded, and said: "Our assault regiment is a regiment under the Eighth Route Army..." Afraid that they might not understand, Xiang Tao explained specifically: "Our Eighth Route Army is very large and has many soldiers and horses. Our assault regiment is One of the soldiers."

"It's really great." The middle-aged man exclaimed in great surprise. He looked a little lively compared to his age, but it fully reflected the joy in his heart.I still didn't forget to say to my father: "Father, do you still remember the Anmin notice posted by the commando group that I told you when I went to the county town with Sangouzi to do some errands more than ten days ago?"

"I'm not old enough, of course I remember." Li Yinghua glared at his son angrily, and then said with a smile: "It said a lot, what are the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, what are the protection of the environment and the people, I can't remember so much. I firmly remembered the last two items in the notice: Those who oppress the common people - kill! Those who defect to the enemy and traitor - kill!"

Li Feng listened with interest. Although he had never seen the Anmin Notice, he knew it in his heart. Basically, the three major disciplines and the eight precautions were the main content.However, when he heard the last two consecutive words of 'kill', he was still a little surprised and worried about Zhang Qingshan's murderous intent.It’s just that it’s hard to tell others now, after all, he hasn’t seen that notice yet, plus, he believes that there will be no major problems with this Ann Min notice, otherwise, there will be a problem with the leadership of the entire commando group... In fact, the notice was not posted by Zhang Qingshan, but was discussed by First Battalion Commander Liu Bing, Third Battalion Commander Qi Zixuan, and Propaganda Team Sister Chen, in order to correct some unhealthy trends that had developed to the extreme. For example, some people think that being a second devil can eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and make money, but they don't want to betray their own compatriots and become dogs for little devils, etc., so they deliberately write it down.To put it bluntly, it is a heavy code in troubled times.

While talking, everyone came to Li Yinghua's house.

Sure enough, it was the residence of the patriarch, which was obviously much taller and grander than other ordinary people's houses.

Entering the hall, everyone sat down and served tea.

After chatting for a while, seeing Li Feng, Xiang Tao, his son, and him in the hall, there were four people in total. Li Yinghua suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Feng.

Before Li Feng could react, he heard Li Yinghua pleading: "Mr. Li, everyone said that the Eighth Route Army is a good team that considers the people. I have an unfeeling request. Although I offended Mr. Li and Hu Wei, why not What I said, I am afraid that there are hundreds of people in my Li family village, and the disaster is just around the corner... I hope Chief Li has mercy."

"Patriarch Li doesn't have to be so polite, just say what you have to say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."

"Thank you, Chief Li."

Li Yinghua straightened up, looked at Li Feng with a sad face, and said: "We fought such a battle with the bandits in Jigong Mountain today. We killed and wounded so many of them, and we have forged a death feud. Chief Li and Everyone here, the bandits of Jigong Mountain will not dare to offend, but once Chief Li and the heroes leave, I am afraid that the bandits of Jigong Mountain will take revenge with hatred. At that time, hundreds of people in my Li family village will... will..."

While talking, Li Yinghua actually shed tears, her voice was choked up, and she couldn't continue.

But Li Feng understood everything in an instant, and he admired Li Yinghua's performance very much. In other words, he really had to admire the wisdom and sophistication of this 70-year-old old man.

Li Yinghua must have made up his mind from the very beginning: ask the assault group to help wipe out the bandits in Jigong Mountain.Therefore, he first asked where the Eighth Route Army was stationed and how many people had guns.Knowing that they were members of the Assault Group, they immediately praised the Assault Group with their son, and when they saw that the fire was almost ready, they began to cry, in order to make the Assault Group not agree...not to mention, from him In the beginning, I didn't even hear the name of the Eighth Route Army, but in a blink of an eye, I insisted that the Eighth Route Army is a good team for the common people.From these words alone, one can hear the true meaning of his words.

It's really hard for this old man, for the sake of the survival of the whole village, it can be said that he has worked so hard, and he has to add some acting.

Although it was a bit like being fooled and set on fire, the Eighth Route Army was naturally obliged to do things for the people, and personal preferences were nothing.

"Patriarch Li, the bandits in Jigong Mountain were killed by our assault regiment. If you keep silent, we are also obliged to take care of this matter for you."

"Thank you! Thank you so much. There are hundreds of people in Lijia Village, but we all depend on you."

After Li Feng comforted him a few more words, he turned to Xiang Tao and said, "Send people to the regiment headquarters immediately, and ask them to send troops over immediately to wipe out the bandits in Jigong Mountain and restore peace to Lijia Village."

"Director, it will take a day or two to transfer troops from the regiment headquarters, and I'm afraid there will be too little time... If the bandits on Jigong Mountain get wind of it and move away, it will be difficult for us to find them again. "

"What are you going to do?"

"This is already within the territory of Longfeng County. The first and third battalions of our assault regiment happen to be stationed in the county seat. I think it's better to go to the county seat of Longfeng County and ask the first or third battalion to send troops to wipe out the bandits in Jigong Mountain. That's it. , not only fast, but also not easy to leak the wind."

"En! Send someone to do it right away." After finishing speaking, he thought for a while, and smiled at Li Yinghua: "Patriarch Li, we are not familiar with the terrain in this area, and I hope you can assign some trustworthy people to be guides for a while." .”

Li Yinghua's son immediately stood up and said, "Don't bother, I'll take a few people to serve as guides for the officers."

"That's really a big thank you."
