The villagers of Hujiayu returned to the village one after another. The tragic situation in the village almost broke them.
"Mom! Heaven, please open your eyes and take a look!"
"Second treasure, second treasure! Open your eyes and look at grandma. How will grandma live if you leave!"
"Damn you little devil, she's only twelve years old!"
Sister-in-law Hu Qi held her daughter who died tragically, and her cries tore through the countryside that had survived the disaster.
In the Hujia Village, which has always kept aloof from the world, almost every family has a filial piety, every household has lost its virginity, and every home has been destroyed.
At this time, they finally understood that this was not a change of dynasty, but the annihilation of the race.
Either resist or die!
Hu Dashan is the largest landowner in Hujiayu. His family owns more than half of the land in Hujiayu. Because he occasionally donates porridge and grain in times of famine, he has earned the title of "Hu Dashan" .
For dozens of miles around, Hu Dashanren's name is still very appealing.
When Sanlian entered Hujiayu to establish a base, it was also resisted by Hu Dashan. Since he was quite prestigious in the area with a radius of dozens of miles, he had not done any serious evil, and he still had some good reputations, so Sanlian temporarily There is no good way to deal with him for a while.
Due to the resistance led by Hu Dashan, the various mass work of the Third Company in Hujiayu was not carried out smoothly. Few soldiers were recruited, and a militia company was not established. The mass work has always lagged behind other villages.
Hu Dashan's real name is Hu Ronghui. His family owns more than 3,000 acres of fertile land. His concubine has five wives and three sons and five daughters. It is a typical gentry family.
Hu Ronghui was very resistant to the establishment of the anti-Japanese base area in the Hu family by the Third Company. In his opinion, anyone in the world needed scholars and the support of the squires. The most important thing the Hu family lacked in cultivating and inheriting the family was scholars.
When the Japanese come here, they just want another person to pay taxes. The Hu family has a big business and can afford to pay taxes;
The Eighth Route Army established a base area to fight the Japanese, which would anger the Japanese and bring disaster to Hujiayu.
Due to the resistance and incitement of the Hu family, the people in Hujia Village did not cooperate with the mass work of Sanlian.
This time the Japanese came to raid, and the Third Company mainly resisted the Japanese and sent a platoon to evacuate the people. Hu Dashan's family did not want to abandon their home and business and leave. He felt that the Japanese came just for money, and they could not rob the entire Hu family. To win over a country gentleman like him.
Many ordinary people, the Hu family, who had a great family and a great business, did not follow the Eighth Route Army up the mountain. They also took a chance and did not want to go through the trouble. Some elderly people in particular were unwilling to leave no matter how much they were persuaded.
The third company and first platoon leader had no good idea, so they had to organize the fellow villagers who were willing to leave to go up the mountain first. Only the third daughter of Hu Ronghui's family followed her seventh sister up the mountain along the eighth road.
A small group of Japs came in from the alley, and they first rushed into Hu Ronghui's home. Because Hujiayu was just inside their high-rise compound, the Japs naturally knew whose house they could grab good things from.
Hu Ronghui originally wanted to pretend to be a country squire with the Japanese, but who knew that the Japanese leader was a miner's son from Kumamoto. He didn't know this, so with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen Japanese rushed into Hu's house.
Searching for valuables everywhere, Hu Ronghui hurriedly stopped him, but was smashed to the ground by a Japanese sergeant with the butt of his rifle.
The Hu family's five-bedroom, flower-like concubines completely aroused the Japanese's bestiality. One by one, the Japanese attacked Hu Ronghui's female family members, including his three daughters who did not escape, his five concubines, and even his 50-year-old wife. Didn't let it go.
Several of his sons were stabbed to death by the Japanese with bayonets when they tried to stop them, including his most beloved son, who was only 5 years old. It was only then that Hu Ronghui understood the bestiality of the Japanese. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the Hu family became a hell on earth...
Then the brutality of the Hu family spread to the entire Hujiayu. The red-eyed Japs killed everyone they saw, burned down their houses, and robbed everything they saw...
Hu Ronghui's centuries-old mansion was also burned down by the Japanese. They needed fire to cover up the heinous crimes they committed in the Hu family compound.
There were a total of 35 members of Hu Yaohui's family and their servants. Except for the third lady and the seventh lady, all of them were killed by the Japanese and then burned to ashes.
When the third daughter of the Hu family, Hu Jingwen, took her seventh sister back to her home in ruins, she almost fainted. The Hu family was gone...
"Comrade, Li let me in, I want to join the Eighth Route Army, I want to fight the Japanese! I want to avenge my brothers and sisters!"
After Hu Jingwen entrusted her young seventh sister to the eldest sister who was married to Zhaojiacun, she went to the Third Company and asked to join the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese.
But the Third Company does not accept female soldiers. They have just been rebuilt and do not have so many weapons yet. They only recruit some young students, and each of them is only issued a spear first.
Many girls were persuaded to go back, but Hu Jingwen refused to leave even if she was beaten to death. Either she would be treated as a traitor or she would die!
The third company commander really couldn't do anything with her, so he handed her over to Li Chenxi's second squad.
Li Chenxi also had a headache when he saw Hu Jingwen's pretty eldest lady. This was to fight against Japanese invaders, not to play house.
"Monitor Li, you look down on people!"
Hu Jingwen was unhappy when she saw Li Chenxi's disgusted eyes, and she immediately protested.
"Hu Jingwen, tell me why I look down on you?"
"Squad leader Li, don't you just think I'm a girl? Our Eighth Route Army has policies. Since the company commander assigned me to the second squad, I will be your soldier! You have to teach me to fight Japanese soldiers!"
"Fighting Japanese is our men's business. Why do you have to fight Japanese? It's so inconvenient."
Li Chenxi accidentally let it slip that it was really inconvenient for him to have a dozen men in a class and put a girl in.
"Captain Li, in ancient times Hua Mulan joined the army for her father. Isn't the Eighth Route Army inferior to the ancient emperor's army? All the thirty or so members of our family died tragically at the hands of the Japs. I want to avenge my family!"
Hu Jingwen's words made it impossible for Li Chenxi to shirk anymore. No one had the right to deprive Hu Jingwen of the right to fight the Japanese.
Li Chenxi took out a grenade and handed it to Hu Jingwen, and asked softly:
"Do grenades work?"
Hu Jingwen took the grenade and turned the safety cover on the wooden handle to prove that she knew how to use the grenade.
Li Chenxi quickly grabbed it and said nervously:
"My aunt, this can explode. It's just this grenade. I don't even want to use it myself!"
When Hu Jingwen heard this, she snatched it away, then stretched out her little hand and said to Li Chenxi:
"Monitor Li, where's my gun? I know how to shoot. I learned it when I was a boy scout in school!"
"No gun! I do have a red cherry gun. Do you want it? Can you dance with it?"
"If you want a gun, ask the Japanese to take it away!"
Li Chenxi's words made Hu Jingwen completely dumbfounded. She secretly thought that the Eighth Route Army was too poor.
"You think the Eighth Route Army is poor. It's too late for you to regret now. The grenade was just returned to me."
Upon hearing this, Hu Jingwen quickly hid the grenade back and forth, fearing that Li Chenxi would snatch it back again.
"Squad Leader Li, you have already given me this grenade. I will use it to seize a steel gun of my own from the Japanese!"
