Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 831

"Okay." Seeing this, the arsenal director had no choice but to give up the idea.

Afterwards, the brigade commander and his men left the arsenal. On the way back, Tian Xiaoqi told the brigade commander about what had happened in the special operations battalion recently.

After learning that Li Jin had come up with a new way to do ideological work, the brigade commander gave his approval and felt that this method of recalling the bitter past and thinking of the sweet past could be promoted and would have a very good effect.

"Brigade Commander, since everything has been delivered, I will go back first." Tian Xiaoqi did not dare to stay any longer.

"Yes." The brigade commander nodded.

.........

More than half a month later, Li Jin rushed from Shanxi to the vicinity of Zhengzhou, Henan.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, Li Jin and his team took a short rest in a dense forest.

"We have had a relatively safe journey and nothing has gone wrong." Liu Changshun said with emotion. There are currently no Japanese invaders in Henan, so their march has not been hindered.

"Well, it's okay." Li Jin nodded.

"Speaking of which, Battalion Commander, why didn't the Japanese come to occupy this place?!" Liu Changshun was puzzled. In fact, he wanted to ask this question before, but because he had to hurry on his way, he didn't ask.

In ancient times, this place was a battleground for military strategists. Why didn't the Japanese come here?

"Because Huayuankou had been bombed before, the National Army used water instead of soldiers, so the Japanese turned around and attacked Wuhan," Li Jin explained.

"So that's how it is." Liu Changshun finally understood.

Li Jin also thought of some bad things. It seemed that after returning from Changsha, he had to try to see if he could solve some of the problems.

To be honest, he can't save many people, he just hopes to do his best.

Too many people died from natural disasters and man-made calamities, and the ground was full of starving people. People exchanged their own children for food. These were scenes that only appeared in books.

The next morning, Li Jin and his team continued their journey. Around four or five in the afternoon, when they were approaching a village, Li Jin discovered that thick black smoke was rising from the village. This was obviously not the smoke from the villagers' cooking.

"Battalion Commander, something seems to be wrong." Liu Changshun spoke up. He also felt that there was a problem and that something might have happened in the village.

At this time, gunshots were heard.

"Liu Changshun, Zhao Ming, take your men to surround them from both wings. Everyone else, follow me into the village. We will not spare any of those who harm the villagers!" Li Jin gave the order immediately. The situation was urgent and they had to go over to rescue immediately.

After hearing the order, everyone immediately started to act.

They hurried towards the village.

At this time, hundreds of bandits in the village were burning, killing and looting.

Gunshots and screams were heard in the village.

"Uncle, please be kind. These are grain seeds. You can't take them. If you take them, we will have no way to survive next year!" A 70-year-old man tightly grasped a bag of grain in his hand. Those were the seeds they were going to sow next year. If they were snatched away, they would have no way to survive.

"Damn it, stop talking nonsense and let me go, or I won't be polite." The bandit cursed and tried to snatch the bag of grain, but the old man held on to it tightly.

"Uncle, you really can't take it. You can rob other food but you can't take these grain seeds." The old man held the grain tightly, still begging.

"Fuck you, are you looking for death?" At this time, a bandit nearby saw this, cursed loudly, and kicked the old man to the ground. His forehead hit the threshold and bleeding.

"Grandpa!" A young girl hiding in the closet in the inner room saw this scene and ran out of the closet without caring about the danger and helped the old man up.

"Nizi, why did you come out?" The old man was startled and hurried to look in front of the girl.

"Take this food away quickly. I won't keep you any longer." The old man said quickly to the two bandits.

However, the two bandits at this time were staring at the girl with ill intentions.

"Old man, I didn't expect that you have such a pretty granddaughter." One of the bandits smiled.

The other bandit couldn't wait any longer and grabbed the girl's arm.

"You bastards, I'm going to fight you!" Upon seeing this, the old man suddenly exploded, strength surging from his body, and he knocked the bandit in front of him to the ground.

"Go! Don't worry about grandpa!" The old man held the two bandits down tightly, but his strength was obviously not as great as that of the two young and strong bandits.

The girl was so scared that tears came to her eyes. Just as she was about to leave, the bandit on the ground grabbed her ankle. The girl fell to the ground and let out a scream.

Another bandit also broke free from the old man, picked up the knife on the ground, and planned to attack the old man.

"Grandpa!" the girl exclaimed.

Just then, a gunshot was heard.

The bandit holding a knife was shot through the chest. He looked at his chest in shock and fell straight down without realizing what was happening.

This scene stunned the three people, and they were unable to move for a while.

A young man quickly rushed in from the doorway, drew the bayonet from his waist, and stabbed the still-living bandit on the ground through the heart, killing him.

"Old man, are you okay? Don't be afraid, I'm from the Eighth Route Army!" The soldier helped the old man up and comforted the two of them.

"Thank you, sir." The old man hurriedly thanked him.

"Grandpa, are you okay?" The girl also got up and came to the old man.

"Old man, I am from the Eighth Route Army, not some military lord. You are injured. Here is some hemostatic medicine. Please apply it on your grandfather. I still have other bandits to deal with." After handing the medicine to the girl, the soldier turned around and left.

At this time, gunshots were heard from the village from time to time. The soldiers of the special operations battalion opened fire in order to save people who were about to be killed by the bandits.

At this time, in the center of the village, a one-eyed man wearing an eye patch was about to break into a nearby house to rob, but he felt something was wrong.

"Damn it, what are these little bastards doing? How can they just shoot at will? Don't they know that bullets are more valuable than their lives?" The one-eyed man cursed.

Bullets are very expensive. They usually use guns to scare people, and only occasionally shoot people to death.

"Third boss, why do I feel something is not right? There seems to be a lot of gunshots. Do we have so many guns?!" The subordinates at the side asked in confusion. They came with more than a dozen guns.

"Damn it, is there any army coming? Hurry, notify them to hurry up!" The third in command's face changed and he gave orders quickly. There must be any army coming.

"Yes!" The subordinates quickly ran to inform others, however, the other bandits were all dealt with by the soldiers of the special operations battalion.

As soon as the man ran away, he was shot dead by a soldier from the special operations battalion.

When the one-eyed man saw what was happening, he quickly pulled out the pistol from his waist and prepared to resist.

boom!
The next second, a gunshot was heard and the one-eyed man's hand holding the gun was shot through.

The one-eyed man's arm went numb and the gun in his hand fell to the ground. Just as he was about to pick it up with his left hand, another gunshot pierced his left hand.

"Ah..." The one-eyed dragon screamed, both of his hands were broken. Li Jin also brought people over to surround him.

"Brother, which gang are you from? We don't interfere with each other, so please let me go." The one-eyed dragon saw that the newcomers were not wearing military uniforms and thought that Li Jin and his men were also bandits.

"I am from the Eighth Route Army!" Li Jin said.

"Eighth Route Army?" The one-eyed man was stunned. These people without uniforms, are they the Eighth Route Army?! Thinking of this, he turned around and wanted to run, but was kicked over by a nearby soldier.

"Catch him, bring him to the village entrance, and invite the villagers to come and watch." Li Jin gave the order. The reason why he did not kill the bandit was that he wanted to beat him to death in front of the villagers.

On the way out of the village, the one-eyed man kept begging for mercy, but no one paid any attention to him.

Many villagers also rushed to the village entrance.

When Li Jin saw that most people had arrived, he began to judge the one-eyed dragon, read out his crimes, and then shot him to death with a single shot.

"Good! Good kill!"

"This bastard should be shot."

"But there are still bandits around here. If we don't get rid of them, we will still be in trouble. General, can you get rid of those bandits as well?!"

Everyone cheered. At this time, an old man came out and made a request to Li Jin.

"Yes, can you also get rid of those bandits? We are willing to provide food and money, just ask you to eradicate them!" Other villagers also shouted.

"Don't worry, everyone. We are the Eighth Route Army and we are here to help you. We will not take your food and money. I will not let those bandits go." Li Jin said quickly while looking at everyone.

All the villagers were stunned when they heard this.

"Also, please don't call us 'Soldiers' in the future. If you want to call us 'comrades', please call us 'comrades'." Li Jin reminded the villagers not to call them 'Soldiers' anymore, because he felt uncomfortable when he heard this title.

"Comrade?!" The old village chief looked at Li Jin.

"Yes, the Eighth Route Army is an army of the people. We will not take a single needle or thread from the people. Helping you kill bandits is what we should do!" Li Jin began to improve his reputation so that more people would know about them.

"Battalion commander, I caught him alive." At this time, Liu Changshun came over, holding a bandit who had peed his pants with fear.

There were originally more than one bandit, there were more than a dozen, but they were killed until only one was left.

"Where is your village?!" Li Jin asked.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll tell you what I'm saying." The bandit turned pale with fright when he saw the corpse of the one-eyed man lying on the ground. If he hadn't already peed himself once, he would have probably peed himself again.

"Fulian Mountain, it's right at Fulian Mountain. I can lead you to the way, but please spare my life." The bandit spoke quickly. He just wanted to survive now. Didn't he see that the third in command had been killed?

"Okay, you lead the way and I'll let you go." Li Jin smiled amiably.

"Okay, okay." After hearing this, the bandit was overjoyed. His legs were not so weak anymore and he led the way for Li Jin and the others.

"Fellow villagers, I'll be back soon." Li Jin did not forget to say this to the villagers before leaving.

"Be careful." The old village chief reminded.

"Don't worry, those chickens and dogs are no match for us." Li Jin told the old village chief and others not to worry.

Soon, Li Jin and his group left the village.

"It's the Eighth Route Army. If it weren't for them, our village would be in great trouble this time."

"Yes, it seems that the rumors are true. The Eighth Route Army is really our people's team, specially sent to help us."

"Yes, yes, the Eighth Route Army is much better than those people in the National Army."

Many people said that they felt it was a great fortune to meet the Eighth Route Army.

"I think, why don't we take this opportunity to let the young people in the village join the Eighth Route Army." The old village chief spoke at this time.

"I, I want to join the Eighth Route Army! To rid the people of harm."

"I want to participate too."

"I also want."

All of a sudden, young people in the village raised their hands and expressed their desire to join the Eighth Route Army.

"Then come and sign up with me. When they come back, I will give them the list. Then it will depend on whether they will accept you or not." said the old village chief.

Many young people came to the old village chief and asked him to write their names first, for fear that they would not be able to participate if they were late.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, come one by one." The old village chief also spoke.

.........

On the other side, Li Jin also led people to Fulian Mountain.

"General, Fulian Mountain is ahead. Let me tell you, none of the bandits in Fulian Mountain are good people. They are all bullies. This time, the third leader led the way in robbing the villagers.
The big boss and the second in command above are even more cruel and merciless, and they would burn people to death at any time. "As the bandits walked, they talked about how cruel the bandits in Fulian Mountain were.

"Aren't you a bandit from the mountains?" Liu Changshun said unhappily.

"Sir, I'm different from them. I was forced to do it. If I didn't do it, I would be burned to death! Everything I did was forced." The bandit quickly pushed all the things onto others, saying that he was also forced to do it.

"Bullshit, they may have been forced in the beginning, but after they tasted the sweetness, they did it voluntarily." Liu Changshun didn't believe the words of this fatal bandit at all.

Perhaps these bandits did want to maintain their bottom line before going up the mountain, but after doing so many bad things, that bottom line kept dropping, and finally, the bottom line disappeared.

The bandit was humiliated and confused. How did this guy know? !
"The general is almost at Fulian Mountain. Can I leave?!" The bandit looked at Li Jin. He knew that this was the real boss.

"Well, let's go." Li Jin nodded.

“No, Battalion Commander, why are you…” Liu Changshun was about to say something when he was glared at by Li Jin.

"Thank you, General. Thank you, General." After hearing this, the bandit was very happy and quickly bowed to Li Jin.

At this time, Lu Changgong stood up and walked towards the bandits with a smile on his face.

“Sir, Sir, what are you doing…” The bandit saw Lu Changgong’s burly figure walking towards him, and felt so oppressed that he could not speak clearly and retreated repeatedly.

"Do you think you can get away?!" Lu Changgong rubbed his hands and sneered.

"General, you said you would let me go. You can't go back on your word, right?!" The bandit looked at Li Jin and shouted with a pale face in fear.

"I did say I would let you go, but the others didn't say anything. They want to kill you, so what does it have to do with me?!" Li Jin spread his hands.

"What?!" The bandit realized at this moment that he had been tricked, but it was too late. Lu Changgong had broken the bandit's neck with one hand.
