Speaking of Yangshugou Village, Yang Yuanshan led a large force of the secret service battalion and waited in the village for several days. Finally, Zhou Xianpei arrived with a large number of militiamen and young men, driving mules and horses and carrying food.
Yang Yuanshan quickly brought people forward to greet him:
"Lao Zhou, thank you for your hard work. Is there anything unusual over there in Qixia Town?"
It took a long time to come out this time, and Yang Yuanshan was really worried.
Fortunately, his system didn't suddenly pop up a lot of reward prompts for killing the little devil, otherwise he would have been impatient.
Qixia Town is now his base camp. The collection and storage of supplies, the recruitment of soldiers, and the training of the wounded all require such a base, and they cannot be given up easily.
Even if the Japs were to conduct a large-scale raid in the future and the secret service camp was forced to move, he would have to evacuate the personnel and materials before leaving.
"Batalion Commander, everything is normal in Qixia Town.
However, as soon as your large army moved, some traitors came out to join forces and tried to deliver messages to the Japs in Qubei County. We caught them. After interrogation, Feng Shuanglin executed all these traitors. "
Zhou Xianpei was obviously a little disappointed with this outrageous thing.
It is simply unreasonable for these fellow countrymen to want to take the initiative to become dogs for the little devils and deal with their own compatriots.
"Good guy!
If you don't do good things, you have to be a dog?
If the execution is good, this kind of thieves should be killed one by one. "
Yang Yuanshan knew how despicable some people were.
After all, this is how he traveled through time. Now, of course, he will not sympathize with these bastards.
The two briefly communicated about the situation in Qixia Town, and Yang Yuanshan asked him to take people to transport equipment.
As for the food he brought, Yang Yuanshan gave it to Zhao Li and asked him to arrange for cooks to cook for the soldiers, and at the same time take part of it to return to the villagers who lent them life-saving food.
…
Soon, the smell of rice and steamed buns spread throughout Yangshugou Village.
After eating sweet potatoes and potatoes for a few days, the soldiers in the special agent camp who were suffering a lot suddenly felt that the happy days were back.
As for those new miners who joined the army, they were very happy after eating fried noodles for two days when they came back from the march. These days, they eat potatoes and sweet potatoes every day, so there is naturally a slight gap.
Although there are occasionally a few pheasants, a few hungry wolves stewed in it, and there is some oil star seeds and shredded pork, it is still a lot worse than the sweet fried noodles before.
Especially since Han Yang was taking them for training, which was very physically demanding, some people began to say strange things.
There are even those who want to leave the army and go home to farm.
But now, when they ate the fragrant white flour steamed buns, all these little thoughts were instantly dismissed.
Everyone thinks: The treatment in this spy camp is so good, only a fool would leave!
If you go home and farm, no matter how good your harvest is, you still won’t be able to eat this rice and white flour!
…
While the soldiers were eating, Zhao Li also assigned personnel to take the food and return it to the villagers door to door.
The villagers were all shocked when they saw that what they brought was actually fine grains such as millet, white flour, and rice.
What they lent to the spy camp before were some worthless potatoes, sweet potatoes, pickles, and corn noodles!
But now, the other party actually brought the food back to them. This is too embarrassing!
The prodigal son is not that corrupt, right?
The villagers quickly waved their hands and refused:
"Comrade, what we borrowed are just some worthless potatoes and sweet potatoes. We can't take your fine grains!"
“That’s right, that’s right!
This good stuff is not worthy of farmers like us!
Comrades, you should take it back and give it to the leaders.
They have to command you to fight the little devils, they are tired! "
The soldiers tried every possible means to persuade them to accept it, but they firmly refused.
In desperation, Zhao Li could only come to Yang Yuanshan.
When Yang Yuanshan heard that there was such a thing, he couldn't help but be moved.
Many of these simple folks have probably never had two meals of white flour or rice from birth to now.
But now, when faced with what is delivered to their door, they firmly refuse it.
Yang Yuanshan knew that the villagers were not unmoved, but just wanted to support our army in this way, hoping that our army could drive away the little devils as soon as possible and give them a peaceful and prosperous life!
However, it is not the style of our army to not repay borrowed things. In the past few days, their special agent camp has eaten up many villagers' food reserves for the winter. If they do not return them, many people will starve to death this winter.
So he had no choice but to go out on his own and went to the head of Yangshugou Village.
Before it became a base area for our army, Baochang was the one who called the shots in Yangshugou Village.
This security chief is usually a landowner or squire who spends money to bribe his superiors. They spend money to become this little leader, and of course they have to squeeze the people and get the money back.
When our army enters the village development base area, the first thing they do is to arrest these security guards and put them on public trial. If there are not many bad deeds, they will be punished and the position of security chief will be abolished.
As for those who prey on the common people, they will naturally be shot and executed.
But of course, this village cannot be without someone who calls the shots, so our army often holds village meetings to let the people in the village elect the village chief themselves.
The current village chief of Yangshugou, Yang Zhong, was elected in this way. He is about fifty years old, he is honest and kind to others, and he has quite a bit of prestige among the people in the village.
"Village Chief Yang, my soldiers say that the villagers don't want the food we return, this is not okay!
Our army has discipline and cannot take advantage of the masses. I have borrowed your food these past few days and must pay it back! "
Yang Zhong smiled bitterly:
"Captain Yang, it's not that we don't accept it, it's just that you gave it so well!
How can we farmers eat rice and white flour? Isn’t that a sin? "
"Village Chief Yang, we captured these from the kidnappers, you have to accept them.
We have troubled the folks these days, so this is an apology from us. "
Yang Yuanshan's attitude was very determined.
"Captain Yang, why don't you just give us some stick noodles?
We really can’t eat this rice and white noodles. "
Yang Zhong took a step back.
“Village Chief Yang, we only have millet, white flour and rice now, but no stick noodles!
I also ask you to accept it, otherwise I will be punished by my superiors. If I eat the food of the villagers and refuse to pay it back, then what is the difference between our special agent battalion and the Jinsui Army and the Central Army?
Can we still deserve the trust of our fellow villagers? "
Yang Yuanshan casually stepped on the Jinsui Army and the Central Army.
He did not blame the other party unjustly by saying this. As the saying goes, "The bandits are like a wash, and the soldiers are like a grate." For the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, if they eat the food of the villagers, it will be a shame to the villagers!
When the army crosses the border and breaks into the village, they often rummage through the boxes and cabinets, sweeping away all the chickens, ducks, cattle, dogs, soft property, grain, bacon, etc. from the villagers' homes.
It is common for an unhappy person to kill someone who has no eyesight.
Seeing what Yang Yuanshan said, Yang Zhong was immediately moved and said repeatedly:
"Captain Yang, your special agent battalion really has strict military discipline!
Then on behalf of the folks, I would like to thank you very much! "
"Village Chief Yang is so polite. It's me who wants to thank you, not you who borrowed food. We soldiers would all starve to death!"
Yang Yuanshan's words were not false. Although he had asked Wang Xikui and Wei Dayong to take people hunting in the nearby mountains in the past few days, and they had gained a lot, it was obviously impossible to feed the three thousand people he was leading.
Although the potatoes and sweet potatoes borrowed by the villagers didn't taste very good, when stewed together with the pheasants and hungry wolves that Wang Xikui and others caught, it was still a delicious and delicious food.
…
After talking to the village chief Yang Zhong, Zhao Li's work of returning food went smoothly.
Soon, he returned all the food to the villagers, which naturally moved the villagers to tears.
Smelling the aroma of rice and white flour, many young and strong men even clamored to join the spy camp to fight the Japanese.
However, this time the spy battalion recruited seven to eight hundred new soldiers from the miners, and there was no shortage of soldiers, so they still rejected them.
After all, this is the base of Zhang Dabiao's First Battalion. If Yang Yuanshan recruits troops here, it would be somewhat excessive.
However, although Yang Yuanshan did not accept them as soldiers, they did not give up contributing to the spy camp.
Seeing the soldiers carrying weapons and ammunition to the cart, they quickly called on their friends to come out to help with the work.
Seeing this, Yang Yuanshan did not stop him. Now, the entire Yangshugou Village was very busy.
It looks like a happy family scene of soldiers and civilians.
Soon, cartloads of equipment and supplies were loaded and began to be transported toward Qixia Town.
…
On the way back, Yang Yuanshan narrated the battle to Zhou Xianpei and asked him to write a battle report and report it back to the regiment headquarters.
Zhou Xianpei couldn't help but look solemn when he learned that the secret service camp had suffered three to four hundred casualties this time.
reminded him:
"Battal Commander, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for the superiors to deal with it this time. You have to be prepared."
Yang Yuanshan was of course mentally prepared and nodded without speaking.
…
It took five days to transport all the weapons, ammunition, and wounded people back to Qixia Town.
When Feng Shuanglin and others who stayed behind saw the large army returning, they quickly stepped forward to greet and help.
However, when he saw only a few wounded soldiers from his platoon of anti-aircraft gun battery returning, he couldn't help but look very ugly.
After some questioning, I found out that they were almost completely wiped out.
Feng Shuanglin quickly ran to find Yang Yuanshan:
"Battal Commander, why did my platoon suffer so many casualties?"
Yang Yuanshan smiled bitterly when he heard this and explained:
"I didn't expect the little devils to send 24 bombers!
Liu Changshou and the others shot down 8 bombers with 4 machine guns. They are the great contributors to our secret service camp! "
"It's a pity that those comrades were all taught by me step by step!"
Feng Shuanglin had tears in his eyes.
Originally, he thought this mission would be easy, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"Shuanglin, the Japs may have more planes to bomb us in the future. Your anti-aircraft gun company has a very important responsibility.
I want you to form a second anti-aircraft gun company, all equipped with Oerlikon 20mm machine guns. As for the personnel, you should draw them from the engineering company and logistics company as soon as possible. "
Yang Yuanshan arranged.
"Battal Commander, we only have 4 machine guns left. Isn't it necessary to form a company?"
Feng Shuanglin frowned.
"4 doors?
On the way back, we picked up 16 more doors!
You can’t even use it all! "
Yang Yuanshan chuckled.
"What? 16 doors? Picked up??"
Feng Shuanglin's eyes widened and he was very doubtful about life.
What the hell kind of luck?
too exaggerated!
But who knew that Yang Yuanshan would not let him go and continued to shock him:
“In addition to these 16, there are also 8 twin Oerlikon cannons.
At that time, your second anti-aircraft gun company will be equipped with 8 twin Oerlikon cannons and 4 single-barreled ones.
If the Japs' planes dare to come again, we will educate them with artillery shells and tell them not to mess with us! "
"What? Duplex?
Can this machine gun be mounted in dual units? "
Feng Shuanglin felt that his brain had lost the ability to think.
At this time, he happened to see a large vehicle pulling a twin-mounted machine gun over. When he saw the two gun barrels, he was shocked.
One cannon, two gun barrels, double the firepower. How does it feel to fly a Jaap plane?
I can’t even think about it!
Yang Yuanshan chuckled:
"You'll know later if you pull out a cannon and try it.
From now on, your anti-aircraft gun battery will be equipped with 12 Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns.
This time we also picked up 23 guns and tens of thousands of artillery shells. You can lead people to conduct live ammunition training. "
“Twenty-three 40mm anti-aircraft guns?
Tens of thousands of rounds of artillery shells?
Battalion Commander, isn't it true that you robbed the Japs arsenal?
Can you pick up so many good things? "
Feng Shuanglin felt like he couldn't close his mouth.
The surprises come one after another and I can’t stop!
"What kind of arsenal are you robbing!
If you go back and ask other people, you will know how we picked it up. "
Yang Yuanshan patted his shoulder and asked him to go down and get busy.
…
