During dinner, Gao Han, Zhang Quan, Guo Hengming and other officers sat at a table. Zhang Quan opened a bottle of sake, poured it for everyone and said with a smile: "Since the establishment of Taohua Mountain, this is the first time that

Drinking for the first time. Master Jiu said that drinking would cause trouble, and no one in the village was ever allowed to drink.

My family owns a winery, and I used to drink openly, but in the past six months, I have been suffocating. Today, I am also taking advantage of you. Although the wine of the little devil is not good, it can at least satisfy my craving.

"

The officers saw that no one in the village had any wine on the table, and they all looked at it eagerly. Knowing that what Zhang Quan said was true, they felt a little moved in their hearts.

At the dinner table, Gao Han did not talk about the arrangements for the new arrivals. He only said that they should take good care of themselves and wait until their bodies recover. If there are combat tasks, they will be borne by the original people in the village first. This point

The officers and soldiers were even more moved.

In the next few days, Gao Han talked with people from the Sichuan Army and Jinsui Army every day, and soon became familiar with them.

The enthusiasm of Gao Han and others temporarily stabilized the mood of the officers and soldiers. However, he knew in his heart that to truly win the recognition of these national army brothers, it would not be enough to do just this. The army is a world of the strong, and only the super strong

Only by having combat power and being able to win the battle can everyone feel a sense of security and truly generate trust.

It’s a good thing that there are more people on the mountain, but the logistical pressure is also great.

There are now 52 people on the mountain. Based on the calculation of one kilogram of grain per man per day and eight taels of grain per woman per day, the entire village consumes 1,500 kilograms of grain per month. Currently, there are only 2,800 kilograms of grain stored on the mountain, which can last for up to two months.

Lack of food and instability is also a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

The top priority is to go out and fight a war to obtain urgently needed food and other supplies. As long as the battle can be won, all problems will be solved.

That afternoon, Gao Han was chatting with Guo Hengming. Jia Liu came over and said, "Master Jiu, the monkey is back."

The monkey's name is Sun Yong'an, a 22-year-old local. Because he is thin and very clever, he is nicknamed the monkey. A few days ago he was responsible for going out for reconnaissance, and today he brought back news from outside the mountain.

Taoyuan Town.

The mayor of Taoyuan Town, Liu Defu, is 61 years old. He has a fat head and big ears. He has a black mole next to his nose. It looks like a fly has landed on him. On his well-maintained white skin, he looks very...

nausea.

Although he looks like this, he is actually a wealthy man. His family owns hundreds of hectares of fertile land, runs a cotton mill in Jinan City, and also runs a medicine business. His third son turned out to be the head of the security team in Shoucheng County.

After the Japanese came, he changed his identity and became the captain of the pseudo-security army.

Liu Defu was rich and unkind, and ran rampant in the countryside. He used to have a five-bedroom concubine, but now he wants to marry a sixth concubine.

Zhao Xuemei is the daughter of a tenant of Liu Defu's family. Her mother died young and the father and daughter depended on each other. By chance, 17-year-old Zhao Xuemei was seen by Liu Defu on the street. He coveted Zhao Xuemei's beauty and wanted to marry her as his wife.

The concubine of the sixth room.

Last autumn, the harvest in Zhao Xuemei's field was good, and it was not a problem to pay the rent for that year. However, Liu Defu sent people to burn the wheat in the field, and then forced the family to pay the rent.

Zhao Xuemei's father was anxious and angry, and fell seriously ill. Liu Defu sent someone to trick her family into owing loan sharks. Liu Defu sent someone to force Zhao Xuemei's family to pay back the money, and took her father to the county jail, forcing him to

Use Zhao Xuemei to pay off the debt, otherwise let him die in prison.

In order to save her father, Zhao Xuemei reluctantly agreed to become Liu Defu's sixth concubine.

Liu Defu's wedding date has been set, it will be on the third day after Qingming Festival, that is, five days later.

After listening to Sun Yongan's report, Guo Hengming slammed the table angrily and cursed: "I'm sorry, you bully is going too far!"

Gao Han asked Jia Liu to call Zhang Quan and the main officers over.

Du Shengxi is from Shaanxi. He is 28 years old. He is tall and thin, with a sallow complexion and very bright eyes. He used to be the artillery company deputy of the Shanxi-Sui Army. His sister once had the same experience as Zhao Xuemei. At that time, he was killed

He killed the bully, fled to Shanxi, and became a member of the Shanxi-Sui Army.

After hearing the briefing, he opened his eyes angrily and said through gritted teeth: "I must kill this old dog."

Zhang Quan and the platoon leaders and platoon deputies were also very angry and said they wanted to get rid of Liu Defu, the bully landlord.

Sun Yong'an also introduced a situation: there was a notice posted in Taoyuan Town to capture escaped prisoners of war. He also brought back a notice posted by the Japanese, with the names of Guo Jing Hengming, Du Shengxi and others written on it.

The officers were secretly glad that they had chosen to stay in Taohuashan, and expressed their gratitude to Gao Han and Zhang Quan one after another.

Seeing that the morale and morale of the army were strong, Gao Han made up his mind to fight this battle.

Since arriving at Taohua Mountain, Gao Han has gone out many times and gained a basic understanding of the terrain and enemy situation in this area.

He drew a simple map in accordance with the requirements of military topography. Even these officers felt inferior to this military quality and couldn't help but take another high look at this bandit leader.

Gao Han pointed to a fork in the road between Taohuashan and Taoyuan Town and said: "There is a checkpoint of the security army here, and there is a squad of puppet troops."

Then, he pointed at Taoyuan Town and said: "Taoyuan Town Town Hall has a security team of 25 people, and everyone has a gun. Liu Defu and more than 20 servants also have guns, and there is also a Czech-style light machine gun.

Liu Defu is going to marry his sixth concubine, and his son, the captain of the Shoucheng County Security Army, should come to attend the wedding. The strength of the troops is calculated as 30 people per platoon."

"So many?" Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard that there were so many enemies and the situation was so complicated, and the atmosphere was a bit cold.

Zhang Quan scratched his head, frowned and said, "Jiu Ye, there are so many traitors and puppet soldiers. We only have these people. I'm afraid we won't be able to shoot them down with these few guns."

Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi and others also looked embarrassed.

Gao Han said: "Liu Defu's family is very prosperous. If this battle is won, our village will make a fortune. However, the walls of his house are very high and there are gun towers on the four corners. If we attack by force, there is no chance of winning.

Only by taking advantage of this opportunity can we win it."

Guo Hengming asked: "Master, do you already have a plan?"

The officers all looked at Gao Han, wanting to see if he had any military commanding talents.

Gao Han smiled and said: "I do have a plan, let's do this..."

After Gao Han finished talking about his plan, everyone felt that it was feasible to a certain extent, but the risk was still high. After all, the gap in military strength between the two sides was still relatively large.

Everyone was silent for a while. Du Shengxi, who had the same experience and felt the same, spoke first. He said: "The boss, we can't let that girl be ruined by this old bastard. I'll go with you."

Zhang Quan naturally supported Gao Han, and he also said: "I will follow Master Jiu."

Guo Hengming was heartbroken and said: "Anyway, this life is saved. I'm sorry, let's do it!"

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, several platoon leaders and platoon officers also expressed their agreement.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Gao Han said happily: "We must seize the time to train in the past few days and be prepared to deal with various unexpected situations."

April 8, Taoyuan Town.

Today is a good day. The Liu family courtyard is decorated with red and green lights and is full of festive atmosphere.
