Su Zhen and Fang Ding'an led the soldiers from the county brigade back to their base carrying the trophies.
On the way, they passed Qiliyu. Qi Daqiang, the captain of the Qiliyu villagers' militia, was walking out of the village with several militiamen. When he saw their team, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Captain, political commissar Fang!"
"Old Qi, what are you doing?"
Su Zhen's county brigade was stationed in Xianling Village next to Qiliyu. Of course, he knew Qi Daqiang, the militia captain.
Moreover, Qi Daqiang, the captain of the village soldiers, was theoretically under the direct leadership of the county brigade.
So Su Zhen and Qi Daqiang are very familiar with each other.
"Hey, don't do anything, just go out and do reconnaissance training."
Qi Daqiang's face was a little unnatural and he said casually.
Then he saw the weapons and equipment carried by the members of the county brigade, and his eyes suddenly widened and he asked:
“Captain, are you coming back from a victorious battle?
So many seizures, making a fortune! "
"Hey, we were lucky. We met the main force and attacked the Japs' stronghold. They didn't clean the battlefield, so we went to make a little fortune."
Su Zhen explained.
"What? There is such a good thing?
Judging from what you have seized, there are at least dozens of guns, right?
This main force is too generous!
Didn't you pick up all these good things? "
Qi Daqiang couldn't believe it at all. What's the difference between this and pie in the sky?
He, Su Zhen, has such a big face?
“Hehe, not much.
That is, two crooked-handled light machine guns, seven 38-guns, 12 made in Hanyang, more than 20 box pistols, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. "
Su Zhen answered casually.
"What? That's not much?"
Qi Daqiang's face was full of questions, a little doubtful about life.
It felt like Su Zhen was in Versailles - of course, he didn't understand what Versailles was.
“Captain, your county team’s luck is too damn good!
Which main force is so generous?
Didn’t you say that all the main troops were withdrawn? "
Qi Daqiang's heart felt sour, as if he had received ten lemons.
But when he thought about that thing in his mind, his eyes suddenly lit up, maybe...
"Hey, lucky, lucky.
As for which main force it is, we don't know. We are going to the North Slope stronghold. "
Not only Su Zhen felt happy in his heart, but the soldiers from the county brigade who heard their conversation also raised their heads and held their chests high, feeling happy.
…
Seeing the people from the county brigade leaving in high spirits, Qi Daqiang quickly called to his subordinates:
"Come on, let's go to Heyuan County and have a look."
A militiaman asked curiously:
"Captain, Heyuan County is full of little devils. What are we doing there?"
"I heard from a distant relative of mine that our main force captured Heyuan County last night and mobilized them to carry the loot.
Let's go find the troops. Maybe we can ask them to give us some guns.
In this way, you no longer have to use swords and spears to fight against the Japanese devils. "
Qi Daqiang explained.
"But will the main force pay attention to us?
We are militiamen, and I heard that the main force does not have enough weapons and ammunition! "
The militiaman hesitated.
"Hey, the main force is so rich!
I tell you quietly, but please don’t spread the word.
My distant relative went to help carry the loot last night, and even got a piece of ocean afterwards! "
Qi Daqiang whispered.
"What? An ocean?
Is there such a good thing?
Why didn't anyone call us?
I have strength!
Captain, let's go quickly and find the main force as soon as possible. Maybe we can help them move things too! "
Several militiamen were all drooling with envy, wishing they could fly to the main force immediately.
Use your own practical actions to support them.
At this time, another militia member asked curiously:
"Captain, should we report the main force's attack on the county town to Captain Su?"
Qi Daqiang chuckled, showing a bit of cunning:
“Report, of course I have to report, but not now.
If we report it now, will it be our turn to do any good things?
Let's wait until we get in touch with the main force first, and then we'll report back. "
…
The sun is starting to set, and the short day will soon be over.
Looking at the time and the less bright sky outside, Yang Yuanshan knew that the Japs' reconnaissance plane was unlikely to come again.
Yang Yuanshan of Water God Mountain finally gave the order to allow the soldiers to move out of the cave.
The soldiers spent an afternoon sorting the loot in the cave, and they were all exhausted. When they heard Yang Yuanshan's order, they hurriedly ran outside the cave to have fun.
But despite the fun, no one dared to shout.
Although the company and platoon leaders did not explain, everyone knew that they had not returned to the base area.
Yang Yuanshan himself walked out of the cave, climbed to a hillside, raised his telescope and looked around to see if there was anything unusual.
Suddenly, a sentry came running from the direction of Heyuan County:
"Battal Commander, there is a militia team, claiming to be the Qiliyu Village Soldiers, coming from the direction of Heyuan County, saying they are here to find us."
"Qiliyu Militia? How many people are there?"
Yang Yuanshan was suspicious.
It had only been a few days since the special agent camp arrived in northwest Shanxi. How could a militia team come to visit us?
"There are eight people in total. The leader calls himself Qi Daqiang, the captain of the militia team."
replied the sentry.
"Bring me here to meet you!"
Although Yang Yuanshan didn't know the other party's intention, he still decided to meet him.
In the future, when the spy camp develops in northwest Shanxi, the militia teams in each village are the best reserve soldiers and cannot be neglected.
"yes!"
…
After a while, the sentry came over with eight peasant-looking people wearing civilian clothes and holding broadswords and spears.
But the man in the lead was carrying a Hanyang-made weapon that was smooth and smooth with care.
"This chief, I am Qi Daqiang, captain of the Qiliyu Village Soldiers."
When the visitor saw that although Yang Yuanshan was young, he had a telescope hanging around his neck and a shell gun stuck in his waist, he immediately knew that this was probably the leader of the main force and quickly saluted.
At this time, he glanced at Yang Yuanshan and saw seven or eight fully armed Eighth Route Army soldiers not far behind Yang Yuanshan, carrying a strange-looking machine gun, staring at him, as if if there was anything unusual about him, these soldiers would swarm him.
This scene made him feel a little frightened, and he thought to himself: It is indeed the main force. This heavily guarded look is so impressive!
"I am Yang Yuanshan, commander of the special agent battalion of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment. Captain Qi, why are you coming to see us?"
As soon as Yang Yuanshan saw the appearance of Qi Daqiang and the others, he knew that they must indeed be a militia team, and they couldn't be disguised as spies.
That's why he told it frankly.
When Qi Daqiang heard that Yang Yuanshan was really the battalion commander of the main force, his face suddenly smiled and he quickly explained:
"Battle Commander Yang, I heard from a relative that the main force attacked Heyuan County last night and needed help, so I came to see if you need help. These team members of mine are all good guys. They can carry artillery shells. Yes, a very good player!
If there is a combat mission, we can also contribute, but we don't even have guns and ammunition, so I'm afraid we can't help you much. "
As soon as he heard this, Yang Yuanshan understood their purpose.
I want to get some support.
This is also normal. The local troops are weak and it is difficult to fight the Japanese. Without the main force to support them with guns and ammunition, it will be difficult for them to develop.
Looking at the swords and spears in the hands of his team members, the tattered clothes on their bodies, and the straw sandals under their feet, Yang Yuanshan sighed in his heart, and then said:
"Captain Qi, we really need manpower to help carry the loot.
But there are too few of you. Can you find more people for me? "
"No problem, Commander Yang, how many people do you want? When do you want them?"
Qi Daqiang was very excited when he saw that the other party did not reject him.
"Three hundred and five hundred is never too little, and one thousand and two thousand is never too much, but I want a good guy, someone who can move cannons and carry cannonballs!
And soon, as soon as it gets dark, we will start working. "
"What? One thousand or two thousand?
Battalion Commander Yang, do you have so many cannons to move? "
Qi Daqiang was stunned.
He thought to himself: Aren’t you just a battalion commander? How could this tone of voice be louder than that of those regiment leaders and commanders!
"Hehe, just help me find someone.
As for whether there are so many cannons, you will know when you are working. "
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
Qi Daqiang nodded immediately, turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing that the other party agreed without asking about remuneration, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but feel a little more favorable to him, and quickly stopped him:
"Captain Qi, I won't let your help go in vain. Seeing that your militia is poorly equipped, I have some seized Hanyang-made weapons here, so I'll give you 20 guns and 1,000 rounds of ammunition."
"What? 20 guns? 1,000 rounds of ammunition?!!"
