march to victory

Compared with Zhang Qingshan, Qi Zixuan's level of education is just as bad... Zhang Qingshan used to be a carpenter, so he still knows some professional knowledge, but Qi Zixuan used to be a coachman, so he has even less chance of being able to read.

Along the way, Qi Zixuan was full of energy, especially when he thought that he had won this great opportunity for all the commanders and fighters of the third battalion, and made the other battalions drool with envy. Lightly.

Thinking about what he said when the team set off to boost morale, Qi Zixuan always felt that his cultural level was definitely higher than Zhang Qingshan's, and it was much higher.

"Make great contributions, kill devils!" These six words are Qi Zixuan's summary when he boosted morale.

Because of the need for secrecy, Qi Zixuan's later words were more reserved, and he just assured the officers and soldiers of the battalion that this task was snatched from the hands of the other battalion commanders because he put down his old face and fought his way out of the encirclement.As long as everyone completes this task, it is guaranteed that everyone wants to leave a name in history.

"Report, catch two men with guns, they claim to be hunters in this area."

The more I walked, the more excited I was, and the more I thought about it, the happier I was, when I suddenly saw the pioneer who had opened the way in front of me come back to report this, Qi Zixuan frowned involuntarily, and said in a deep voice, "How did you talk? Do you have any level of speaking?" What is seized? Before the real identity of the other party is confirmed, it is too much to use the word seized. If it is really a fellow, do you still say to seize two fellows? Isn’t that playing the piano randomly? We are the Eighth Route Army, not the Second Devil..."

During the education at the speaking level, the two hunters were also brought in front of Qi Zixuan... But the people around Qi Zixuan looked at Qi Zixuan with eyes like they saw ghosts: What's wrong with the battalion commander?The battalion commander, who usually speaks frankly, didn't talk too much today, and even talked about his speaking skills with others. Was he frightened by wild ghosts?

The two people who came were wearing patched clothes, a middle-aged uncle and a young man of seventeen or eighteen.

"Fellow, don't be afraid, we are..."

Before Qi Zixuan could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the young man: "I know you are members of the assault group, so I am not afraid."

"How did I teach you?" But the middle-aged man slapped the young man on the back, pretending to be angry and said: "Speak politely, and wait for someone to finish speaking..."

Then Qi Zixuan cupped his fists and said: "Sir, my son has never seen the world, please don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Naturally, he was unhappy to be interrupted, but after hearing what this young man said, Qi Zixuan became even happier.

"The little fellow speaks very pleasantly, so why would I care?" Qi Zixuan said something to the middle-aged man with a smile, and then said to the young man with a smile: "Little fellow, since you know our assault regiment is good, why don't you come and join our assault team?" group?"

The young man glanced at his father, curled his lips, and replied weakly: "My father won't allow it!"

"Excuse me, sir." These days, it is very common to catch strong men. The old man was afraid that Qi Zixuan would catch his son's strong men, so he quickly cupped his fists and bowed to Qi Zixuan, and said: "When the little devil comes, the eldest son of the family will fight the little devil with his life. It's gone. Now there is only this single seedling left in the family, I beg the commander to show his kindness and let the family leave someone to pass on the incense."

Hearing this, Qi Zixuan felt a little respect for the father and son: These days, those who dare to kill devils are all heroes, who dares to disrespect?

It was only later that Qi Zixuan found out that this big boy was a small bandit leader, and he had done many things that hurt nature and reason in the past, especially for big households... I don't know how the big boy figured it out. He fought with the devil and died.After Qi Zixuan was stunned for a long time, he sighed: "No matter what he was in the past, just because he died for killing devils is enough to make up for his past mistakes. You know, many people are not as good as him."

They were standing on the side of the road talking, but the team was still moving forward. When a soldier passed by, he suddenly stood up and reported: "Report to the battalion commander. I know these two fellow villagers. They are indeed fellow villagers in this area."

Qi Zixuan turned to look at him, then at the father and son, and asked, "Do you know each other?"

The father and son approached, looked at the soldier, shook their heads and said, "I don't know him."

"Reporting to the battalion commander, the year before last, when I was selling salt, I walked this mountain road and accidentally fell into a ravine and was injured. Later, I was rescued by these two fellow neighbors..." Then he smiled at the father and son: "Uncle Qin, You forgot that when I was injured, you collected a lot of yams for me... Erwa also brought me a lot of wild fruits from the mountains."

"Ah! I remembered, I remembered, you are that little monkey..." As soon as he subconsciously called this, the young man came back to his senses, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and laughed awkwardly: "Heh! Heh ! You are already a soldier... Heh! Heh!"

Since he is really a fellow from this area, it will be easy to handle.

Afterwards, Qi Zixuan chatted with the father and son for a while, and when he saw that the fire was almost ready, he asked them which village they were from, and whether the village had been harmed by little devils.

"We are from a small mountain village four or five miles ahead. The village is not big, with only about [-] households, and there are many people on one side. We usually work, and when we have free time, we go to the mountains to hunt and pick wild vegetables..."

As the old man spoke, Qi Zixuan listened with a smile.But I was thinking in my heart: Xiaoshan Village, isn't that a small village at the junction of Baoyuan County and Sanqiao County? So, we have come to the junction of the two counties.

Suddenly, the young man interjected: "Sir, did you come to our village to help us eliminate harm?"

Qi Zixuan was taken aback by these words, and immediately asked: "Is there a bully in your village?"

"Is there a bully, but at the end of the year, a group of second devils came to our village, and they stayed in the village directly. On weekdays, they do some sneaky things to harm the village..." The young man pondered for a while. , added: "I and I went out to hunt in the middle of the night, saying that we came to check whether there was any game in the traps we set up in the past. In fact, it was not the group of second devils who forced us to come..."

While talking, the young man suddenly raised his head, looked at Qi Zixuan with shining eyes, and said firmly: "If the commander can help our village get rid of this group of evils, I will go with the commander... I will do whatever the commander tells me to do. Nothing else."

The old man on the side wanted to interrupt, but he opened his mouth twice, but he didn't say a word. In the end, he could only sigh softly.

"How many are they?"

"When there are many, there are a dozen or so, and when there are few, there are four or five. These days, there are six."

The old man on the side probably saw that he couldn't stop his son's ambition, and thought that since he couldn't stop him, he might as well give him a ride, which would be good for his son's future.So, he quickly added: "Sir, this group of people is very smart. No matter how many people they usually keep in the village, no matter it is day or night, they will definitely send two people to hide outside... At first I thought I thought they were afraid that people in our village would harm them, but later, I overheard them saying that they did this as a warning... this barren mountain and wilderness is sneaky, and I don’t know what they are warning about?"

The two of them didn't know, but Qi Zixuan knew in his heart: These two devils are the spy sent here by the little devil to monitor this mountain road.

In fact, to put it bluntly, these two devils are really nothing to the extent of harm to this village. At least, in the eyes of these two devils, this is not a disaster-their combat effectiveness is better than that of the assault group. It's very different, but when dealing with ordinary people, their force value is still quite high. If they really want to cause harm, it is not uncommon to directly arrest women and rape rice on the spot.Of course, this is not to say that these two devils have found out their conscience, but because their chief strictly ordered them not to harm the people in the village, and they must have a good relationship with the people in the village, so that they can hide for a long time and monitor this mountain road.

But now, Qi Zixuan was a little embarrassed, especially when he heard what his father said.

The responsibility of this mission is extremely heavy, and the degree of secrecy is quite high. Once it is exposed or once a little bit of wind is leaked, if the little devil finds out, it is very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted, which will lead to the failure of the entire battle situation.

However, in the face of fellow villagers' requests, everyone can't just sit idly by.

But now, the most important thing is that this group of second devils are very smart: if this group of second devils acted on their own merits, and only knew to gather together in the village for the sake of others, and did not send out secret sentries, then Qi Zixuan would send people to directly surround the village, and then quietly He captured the gang of two devils without a sound.However, the opponent has a secret whistle, and even Orion doesn't know where the secret whistle is. That is to say, even if the second devil in the village is captured, it is very likely to escape the secret whistle.

Qi Zixuan was very embarrassed by the requests from fellow villagers on the one hand and the urgent and important tasks on the other.However, Qi Zixuan is really a decisive person, and he quickly made a decision: Since those two devils only went to the village to eat, drink and get something, they haven't done anything that angers others, that is to say, they can let it go until the task is completed. Just go back and clean it up.On the contrary, the task is so important that it cannot be delayed at all, otherwise, it would be embarrassing to kill oneself.

After all, middle-aged people are more mature. Seeing that Qi Zixuan was silent, he understood.

"Sir, you're on your way in the middle of the night without even lighting a torch. You must have a big mission. In fact, what Erwa said is a bit too much. Those Erbai just went home to get some food and drink, and didn't do anything." If something out of the ordinary happened, everyone endured it and passed it. On the contrary, if it delays the chief's important event because of this, then we will die without atonement... Sir, don't worry about us, you can just do your own thing .”

After finishing speaking, he added a special sentence: "Sir, don't worry, our father and son will never tell what happened tonight."

At this time, Erwa also came to her senses, and said as if to make amends: "Sir, you better not go through the village... I will take you to take another path, not only can bypass the village, but also much faster, but the road is a bit difficult to walk .”

So best.

Qi Zixuan asked with a smile: "You don't even know where we are going, how did you know to lead us?"

"This small road leads directly to the big town in the southwest of the county seat. If you take this road, you must be going there."

In the end, the father and son were really active. They stopped hunting and competed to lead the way, which moved Qi Zixuan and the others: With the support of fellow villagers, why not drive away the little devil?

On the other side, Zhang Qingshan received an important telegram, or in other words, the purpose of the little devil was revealed—the appetite was so great that he actually wanted to eat the territory of five counties and Zhang Qingshan and his four regiments in one go!
