"Master Jiu."

"The big boss."

The people in the village warmly welcomed their loved ones back.

People in the village rely on each other, hug each other for warmth, and have established a deep friendship. The entire village is like a big family, and the people in the village are like one family.

Gao Han and others go out, just like the strong men in the family go out hunting, and the old, young, women and children at home hope that they will come back safely.

Looking at the friendly smiling faces, Gao Han felt very warm in his heart.

He is far away from his relatives and friends in the original world, and travels to this strange world alone. His inner loneliness and loneliness are difficult for others to understand. In the dead of night, Gao Han often feels inexplicable sadness.

Now, he not only has a big family, but has also become the head of this big family. So many men, women, and children trust and rely on him. This strong sense of responsibility dilutes his inner loneliness.

"Master, the harvest this time is not small." Feng Xiucai saw the horses and team members carrying loads of supplies, and his eyes shone with excitement.

Now that he has seen the world, he is not as excited as before when he saw Gao Han and others bringing back so many supplies. This time he did not shed tears, but the greed in his eyes did not change at all.

He said with emotion: "Masters, if you ask me, don't be idle. Rest at home for two days, and then go out to grab it. There are not too many things in the village."

Feng Xiucai was now full of confidence in Gao Han. He did not think about how difficult it would be for Gao Han and others to go out to fight and how much danger they would face. He just believed that as long as they went out, they would be able to bring food to their families.

The people in the village had basically the same idea as Feng Xiucai. Everyone liked this feeling - looking forward to them going out as soon as possible, and then looking forward to their triumphant return and bringing back all kinds of good things.

Zhang Quan smiled and said: "Feng Xiucai, you are really a money-grubbing landlord. You treat all of us as long-term workers."

Feng Xiucai shook his head and said: "No, no. The sage said: Those who are capable work hard. If I were ten years younger, I would not stay at home and go out to rob every day. Anyway, it is the enemy's thing. If I don't rob, it will be in vain."

Wang Sanniang said dissatisfiedly: "Feng Xiucai, you are really a person. You, the head of the family, are working so hard and you don't feel sorry for them. Let them rest first."

Everyone was very happy and expressed their excitement in many tongues. The special forces team members who returned in triumph were even more elated and no one was idle.

The front door of the cottage was bustling with activity and became a sea of ​​joy.

The night was deep, but the lights in the Juyi Hall were still bright. Feng Xiucai and others counted the seized materials all night long, and they did not feel tired at all until the daylight came.

After breakfast, people in the village gathered in the Juyi Hall to share their happiest moments.

Feng Xiucai, who had not slept all night, took the list of seized materials and read with great energy: "One Type 97 90mm mortar, 36 rounds of shells, two 50mm grenade tubes, 48 ​​rounds of grenades, and six bastard boxes.

, 412 rounds of bullets, two crooked machine guns with 2,200 rounds of bullets, 44 Type 38 rifles with 8,488 rounds of bullets.

Various medical equipment and medicines worth NT$170,000, 24 boxes of canned and other various foods, 79 pairs of leather boots and shoes, and other supplies..."

After reading the list of seized materials, Feng Xiucai couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hahaha, I'm rich!"

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa."

"OK!"

Warm applause rang out in the hall, and the bandits, oh, they were all called team members now, cheered happily one by one.

Next, Zhang Quan announced the rewards for the team members who had made meritorious service in the battle. Zhang Quan was awarded 20 oceans, Guo Hengming was 20 oceans, and Tagawa was 30 oceans. The rest of the team members basically received rewards, except for the one who quit due to fever.

The team members who participated in the battle did not receive rewards. He was very ashamed and did not attend the commendation meeting because he was ill.

The other team members were very envious of the rewards the special forces team members received. Many of them secretly vowed to train hard and strive to join the special forces team so that they could have such a glorious day in the future.

Today's Taohua Village has high morale and is full of vibrant scenes.

Early the next morning, Feng Xiucai brought Zhao Xuemei over. After seeing Gao Han, he said: "As the boss, you can't do it without a woman by your side. I think Xuemei is a clean and diligent child, so I will let her take care of her from now on."

Just go about your daily life."

Feng Xiucai regarded Gao Han as his own son. Zhao Xuemei was smart, diligent, and good-looking, so he wanted to place her next to Gao Han. If the two fell in love, he would match them up and get married.

At this time, Jia Liu came in with a basin of wash water. Zhao Xuemei took two steps forward and reached out to take the basin in his hand.

Jia Liu subconsciously dodged to the side and all the water in the basin splashed out. He asked dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?"

Feng Xiucai said: "Jia Liu, you are clumsy. From now on, let Xuemei do the work of serving the boss."

Jia Liu liked to be by Gao Han's side. Hearing this, he felt unwilling. He said, "Why am I so clumsy? In the past six months, haven't I been the one taking care of the boss?"

Gao Han said: "Uncle Feng, Jia Liu is very diligent. He is used to taking care of me. It's better for him to take care of me."

Feng Xiucai said: "How can that be done? Women are responsible for serving people. Xuemei is definitely better than Jia Liu."

Gao Han said: "Uncle Feng, forget it, let Jia Liu take care of me. I feel comfortable."

Since Zhao Xuemei came to the village, she has integrated into this big family and respects Gao Han from the bottom of her heart. She was very happy when she heard that she was asked to take care of the boss. Seeing that Gao Han disagreed, she felt aggrieved.

Seeing Zhao Xuemei's face, Gao Han knew what she was thinking. He said: "Xuemei, I don't let you take care of me. It's not that you can't do it well, but that I have a more important thing to leave to you.

.”

Zhao Xuemei felt much better when she heard what Gao Han said. She asked, "Master, what do you want me to do?"

Gao Han said: "I am going to send you back to Taoyuan Town."

As soon as she heard that she was being asked to return to Taoyuan Town, Zhao Xuemei's face turned pale and her eye circles turned red instantly. She asked excitedly: "Master, what did I do wrong? Do you want to drive me away?"

Feng Xiucai also felt that Gao Han had gone too far. He said: "Master, this child Xuemei has never done anything wrong since she came to the mountain, so just leave her in the mountain."

Gao Han smiled and said: "You have all misunderstood what I meant. You all sit down and let me tell you slowly.

Taoyuan Town is the town closest to Taohua Mountain Village. It can be said to be an important window for Taohua Fan Mountain to contact the outside world and an important channel for material supply. I plan to establish a contact point there. Xuemei is a smart person and is the best person in this town.

People are the most suitable candidates."

Zhao Xuemei had just arrived in the mountains not long ago and had lived a carefree and happy life. She was very reluctant to return to Taoyuan Town. Moreover, she was a woman after all. She followed the bandits to Taohua Mountain. It was inevitable that people would gossip after she returned.

, easy to say but not nice to hear.

She said in a pleading tone: "Master, you can do anything to mess with me, I just don't want to go back." Gao Han said patiently: "Xuemei, Taoyuan Town is very important to our Taohua Village, and it will even affect the entire Taohua Village.

The survival of the cottage depends on it. The people in the cottage are your brothers and sisters. I hope you can agree to this for everyone's sake.

Don't worry, I have already considered everything and won't make it too difficult for you. As long as you handle this matter well, I will compensate you well in the future."

Next, Gao Han told Zhao Xuemei his entire plan in detail.

Seeing how thoughtful Gao Han was, Zhao Xuemei finally agreed.

Shoucheng County.

As soon as Liu Shengyu got up, he was called to the Japanese Military Police in Shoucheng County.

As soon as he entered the gendarmerie, he saw several foreign military vehicles parked in the yard and many unfamiliar Japanese soldiers. He didn't understand what was going on, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

When he arrived at the door of the gendarmerie captain's office, he adjusted his military uniform and shouted a report at the door. After hearing the reply inside, Liu Shengyu opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lieutenant Hirata, captain of the military police, talking with two Japanese majors. The captain and translator of the county police brigade were also inside.

Seeing Liu Shengyu come in, the military police captain Lieutenant Hirata said to him: "Captain Liu, these two officers have something to ask you."

After listening to the translator's translation, Liu Shengyu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, I would like to ask you something. In this humble position, I will answer all your questions."

The major officer sitting in the main seat is Ayumi Hamasaki. His Chinese proficiency is quite high, which is one of the important reasons for sending him to investigate this matter.

He just asked some information from the gendarmerie captain Hirata and the police captain. He said: "Liu Sang, I heard that your home was robbed not long ago. You led the troops to chase down a group of bandits. Please introduce the situation of those bandits.

one time."

Liu Shengyu had already heard a little bit about the attack on the Japanese army. He was a smart man. Before entering the door, he had guessed the purpose of these foreign Japanese troops. When he heard Hamasaki Ayumi's question, he knew clearly in his heart that these

People must have come because of the attack on the Japanese troops on the Pingtai Highway.

Hearing Ayumi Hamasaki ask about the situation of the Taohuashan bandits, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a premonition that this matter was related to Gao Han and others.

In this area, it has been a long time since I heard of the emergence of powerful anti-Japanese armed forces. Although Liu Shengyu did not know how many people the Japanese army lost, he heard that four cars were burned, and he estimated that the number of Japanese soldiers was at least dozens. It can be said that

The anti-Japanese armed forces that annihilated so many Japanese troops in one battle were either large in number or extremely powerful.

He analyzed that this matter should not be done by a large group of troops. If so, their whereabouts would not be concealed, and Hamasaki Ayumi and others would not be confused. Then there is only one possibility, this matter

It was the work of a small and powerful force.

Liu Shengyu once fought against Gao Han and others. He had more than 100 people, but he was no match for two of them. So it was Gao Han and others who could annihilate these Japanese troops.

Almost in an instant, Liu Shengyu made a decision. He must not let the attack on the Japanese army be linked to Gao Han and others. If Gao Han and others were traced, he himself would not be able to escape the involvement.

He pretended not to know why Hamasaki Ayumi and others came, and said with a relaxed expression: "They are some bandits from Taohuashan District, specializing in extortion and kidnapping. They have no fighting power and their number is not large. I chased them last time.

As soon as we fought with them, the bandits were defeated. However, the terrain in the mountains was complicated, the bandits were familiar with the conditions in the mountains, and it was getting dark that day, so they escaped."

Hamasaki was a little disappointed, feeling that these bandits should not be the targets he was looking for. However, he was a careful person and asked carefully about some details, such as whether those people were wearing national army uniforms, what weapons they were using, etc.

Liu Shengyu described the situation of some of the bandits. He said: "The bandits were dressed in all kinds of clothes, ordinary people's clothes, and the weapons they used were all messy, including broadswords and spears. They robbed them from my father.

I bought some made in Hanyang, but many people still don’t know how to use them, they are just a bunch of rabble.”

He said nothing about his father and the fact that he had lost two machine guns.

Liu Shengyu was not worried that his lies would be exposed by these Japanese, because Hamasaki Ayumi and others belonged to the field army, and their troops would be mobilized and left here before long.

When Ayumi Hamasaki searched the scene, he found a large number of machine gun bullet casings. Judging from the position of the machine gun position, the opponent had at least two light machine guns and a small number of Japanese weapons with fierce firepower. If not, the battle would have been fierce.

The powerful field troops of the Imperial Japanese Army cannot be annihilated.

According to the situation described by Liu Shengyu, the bandits on Taohua Mountain were completely incapable of annihilating a small group of Japanese troops. It seemed that the attack on the highway was the work of another hidden anti-Japanese force.

Ayumi Hamasaki didn't find any valuable clues, so they quickly left Shoucheng County and went to Pingyue County to investigate.

Monkey Sun Yong'an has been sent to Shoucheng County and opened a "Sun Ji" grocery store not far from the security army headquarters.

That morning, there were not many customers in the grocery store. Sun Yongan was bored and wiped the counter with a rag. At this time, Li San, the adjutant of the security army brigade, walked in.

Li San asked: "Shopkeeper, do you have any shoe polish?"

Sun Yongan looked outside and said: "Yes, there are two different brands. They are both foreign products and very useful. Sir, why don't you come in and try them out first."

Li San nodded and followed Sun Yongan into the room inside.

Li San said: "Shopkeeper Sun, Imperial Army, ah! They have sent people here to investigate the Japs attack on the highway. The leaders are two Japs majors and a squadron of Japs. This case
Chapter completed!
