blood feud

In order to solve the problem of supplies, Bai Shujie was forced to draw out the original backbone, and hand over all the training of recruits to his eldest brother Zhang Xiang.Zhang Xiang's characteristics are not outstanding, and he usually doesn't talk much.But he has the best patience, and can be "wishful" to anyone.

Of course, he also gets angry sometimes, for example, if you can't complete the training task, Zhao Xiang's old face is broken, and it's enough for you to drink a pot.He doesn't scold you, let alone beat you, he just tries to reason with you.Once he shows up like a big brother, he can start talking from "I think back then, I was back then", and he can talk from morning to night, so that you will automatically surrender.

Bai Shujie often said to his brothers: "The biggest treasure in our team is Big Brother Zhang Xiang. Without his support, we would not be able to get to where we are today. You are as human as devils, and Big Brother's efforts are all in It's inside. You can scold me, but whoever dares to disrespect Big Brother Zhang Xiang, be careful not to recognize anyone!"

Because of Zhang Xiang's comprehensive arrangement, in peaceful days, Bai Shujie gradually became a hands-off shopkeeper, staring at the map hanging on the stone wall in a daze all day long.

The time has entered the beginning of September, and it is the busy season of farming in Nanman.After more than two months of continuous running, the six groups purchasing supplies finally raised hundreds of people to deal with food and salt for two years.

Zhang Xiang has not been idle for the past two months. Apart from regular military training, he is leading recruits to expand the secret camp.Because the original cave is halfway up the mountain, it is often inconvenient, so after research, Zhang Xiang led the new soldiers to dig a new cave at the foot of the mountain.

Bai Shujie personally drew a sketch of the excavation plan, requesting that it be conducive to defense and retreat.As a result, this underground labyrinth became four holes with one entry and three exits.One of the cave entrances is hidden in the middle of a cliff, and six ropes are usually prepared for backup.In the event of an emergency, these ropes can be used to escape.

Coal miners are very familiar with digging caves, and they have completed the task in three months.Everyone usually moves on the mountainside, so that the outside world can't see it.But the supplies in reserve are all in the cave at the foot of the mountain.The bullets and grenades with wooden handles that were originally stored in the Baiyunding cave have all been brought over, and half of the sixty boxes of cans have been brought over.Baiyunding only left [-] boxes of canned food for emergencies.

The three-dimensional defense plan conceived by Bai Shujie has basically taken shape, and the core position is the crooked machine gun originally equipped for the cooking team.Now it has become a machine gun on duty in the secret camp, in a bunker in the middle of the only passage into the cave.This dark fort was not built, but dug out, and there are two people on duty 24 hours a day.

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

Bai Shujie finally felt better when he saw the grain in storage.It's a pity that the sky didn't do what people wanted, and he was happy for only three days, when a piece of news that made him furious suddenly came!

That night, Liu Zhiliang came back from outside to investigate, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was livid.Bringing Bai Shujie a message that almost made him faint!

It turned out that Liu Zhiliang had always had a special liking for Pianling Town.On the one hand, Bai Shujie let the eight brothers stay in the inn for half a month, not only to maintain their health, but also to fight together, which led to today's situation.On the other hand, when he was in the first temporary station, all his things were brought back from Pianling Town.

Because of this, Liu Zhiliang would go to Pianling Town to see the owner of the inn and tailor shop whenever he had the opportunity.It has never stopped for more than a year, and the fellow villagers in Pianling Town also like this young man very much.Although I don't know what Liu Zhiliang does, everyone is willing to get close to him and tell him any news.

Last night, when Liu Zhiliang returned from Xintun, he made a detour to Pianling Town again, only to find that more than 20 families in the town were mourning in front of their doors!When he asked the innkeeper, Liu Zhiliang almost exploded his lungs!

It turned out that the owner of the tailor shop had a son and a daughter. The 15-year-old son is studying in Fengtian City, and the 13-year-old daughter usually helps at home.All in all, the tailor's family of four is still at the middle and upper reaches of Pianling Town, and they can live a decent life.

What's worse, the eldest son was arrested as a laborer on his way home from summer vacation today!However, after all, he has studied for many years and has many eyes.Six days ago, he escaped in the middle of the night and returned home.When the old couple heard that the captured laborers had sneaked out again, they knew that something was wrong, so they quickly hid their son in a small cave in the back mountain.

Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday afternoon, fifteen men in black suddenly came to Pianling Town, and directly broke into the tailor shop to arrest them.Because the shopkeeper's son was not found, those bastards wanted to capture the old tailor to make up for it.During the tussle between the two sides, the 13-year-old daughter rushed out to reason with the men in black.

This time not only did not help, but caused a catastrophe!

Fifteen bastards tied the old couple to the gate, then dragged the little girl to the street, stripped her naked, and raped her to death in public!

The middle-aged man hiding in the back mountain heard his sister's tearing cries, couldn't bear it anymore, ran home from the cave, took a hoe and fought with fifteen beasts desperately, but was shot to death indiscriminately!The old tailor and his wife bit their tongues and killed themselves when their daughter was murdered.

Just like that, a loyal family of four was wiped out!

Clap!

Bai Shujie was so angry that he smashed a big hole in the long table with one palm.Then he roared: "Who are those bastards? Where did they come from?"

"Brother, don't worry, the origins of those beasts have been found out!" Liu Zhiliang took a deep breath, and then said: "They are all under the leadership of Cui Futing, and they are currently repairing the railway line at Niuxintai. Speaking of this Cui Futing, it was not made by man!"

It turned out that Cui Futing, the big boss, made his fortune by exploiting the labor contract.He used to be just a labor and account manager of a contracting team, and later relied on the Japanese Kamiya Senjiro to set up the Yihexiang cabinet. By means of bribery, he undertook the mining of the Fushun and Anshan mining areas along the South Manchuria from the Japanese emperor. , Construction of railways, bridges, roads and other civil engineering.

There were more than 0 workers in Yihexiang's big cabinet at most. Cui Futing subcontracted the project layer by layer to medium and small leaders, and each small leader generally had a worker.When the little guy goes to Yihexiang's big cabinet for settlement, one layer of the total wages must be given to Cui Futing.In less than three years, Cui Futing was never penniless, and his assets reached [-] silver at that time.

Cui Futing himself cannibalizes people without spitting out his bones, and the little leaders under him at all levels are even more imitative, they are all inhuman bastards!He obtained a coal mining right from the Japanese, and then subcontracted it to a small leader named Lu Qixiang.

The work Lu Qixiang contracted was a wage of [-] cents for every cubic meter of coal that was dug, while the money he paid the miners was nine cents for every cart of coal dug.Not to mention, Lu Qixiang always held various celebrations every month, and the workers had to follow suit.It's useless if you don't follow the gang, he has already deducted it from your salary!

A strong laborer can earn one yuan and fifty cents a day, and about 45 yuan a month, but in reality it is far from the case!Less than one-tenth of one or twenty yuan a year can be received, and they are still in arrears.More than half of the workers can only keep on eating, and the rest of the workers have worked hard for a year, but the result is not enough to cover the food expenses and owes Lu Qixiang the meal money!

Therefore, people who find themselves being deceived or captured by force will try their best to escape.For this reason, Lu Qixiang raised fifty or sixty thugs to deal with escaped laborers.According to villagers who are familiar with the situation, Lu Qixiang once executed 97 laborers by the Taizi River in public for the crime of mobilizing a crowd to cause trouble!

The fifteen miscellaneous things that appeared this time were Lu Qixiang's subordinates, who specialized in railway construction and maintenance, and another small leader named Qiu Wancai!

According to Liu Zhiliang's reconnaissance across the river, Lu Qixiang and Qiu Wancai are currently in charge of repairing the railway in Niuxintai area, with more than 130 workers under their command.But Qiu Wancai has more than 50 thugs!

"Okay, okay!" Bai Shujie laughed angrily, "These bastards are so impatient, they dare to act mischievously around me! Shi Liancheng, notify the brothers above the deputy squad leader, and immediately get me to a meeting! "

There were only two things in the meeting. The first was to listen to Liu Zhiliang's briefing. Before Liu Zhiliang could finish speaking, the whole cave had turned upside down!

It was Zhao Jinxi's first time to participate in a formal combat meeting, and it was also the first time he heard of such an ancient tragedy!For a moment, the female power was full of power, and she immediately drew out her two guns and slapped it on the conference table: "You old men are still messing around here, why don't you hurry up and kill them!"

"Big sister, sit down!" Although Zhang Xiang was so angry that his head was throbbing with blue veins, he was still able to hold his nerves: "Since the captain called a meeting, there will naturally be rules. Cui Futing aside, that Qiu Wancai has 50 people under his command. There are many people. It needs to be summed up carefully, and you can't act hastily."

"Brothers, be quiet!" Bai Shujie pointed to the map and said, "If we want to get to Niuxintai on time, the biggest problem we face is the Taizi River! The retreat route is also very difficult, because this time we must get the culprit The culprit is captured alive!"

"So I ordered: Zhang Xiang led the first team and the communication team, and rushed to the Sanjiatai line in the southeast of Pianling Town within three days. Your main task is to cross the river when we retreat. This is the top priority , there must be no mistake!"

"The third squad of Duan Zhixian and Liu Zhiliang set off immediately after the meeting with all the equipment. The goal is Zhengjiaji. On the one hand, they will go to the front station. The machine gun squad will follow me. The cooking squad is responsible for the defense of the secret camp, but now we have to rush to make dry food for three days! Dismiss the meeting and prepare separately!"

Bai Shujie knew that this time was different from the past. The previous few times were ambushes, and this was the first frontal attack by the small army.In addition, several new fighters have been added, and the coordination of the battle is not yet known.Angry is angry, angry is angry.Once in combat, commanders at all levels must be calm-headed.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
