The three of them stood in front of them in a daze.
Five months, raising an army of 100,000, and still have to attack Shanhaiguan?
"Commander, did we hear it correctly? We have less than 30,000 soldiers in Heiyun Village. Where can we go with a 70,000-strong army in five months?" Cheng Xiazi said excitedly.
Isn’t this embarrassing?
Cheng Xiazi and Zhao Gang both opposed it unanimously, but Zhang Dabiao stood aside silently.
Lin Zhong had known for a long time that this would be the scene. It would naturally be difficult to raise so many people within a few months.
"Everyone, during this period, I will mobilize all available resources, including guns and food, from various ministries to the ocean."
"The current situation no longer allows us to discuss it."
Reluctantly, the three of them took on the task.
It is naturally impossible to raise so many soldiers and horses in Heiyun Village in a short period of time. Almost all the young and middle-aged people in the surrounding nine villages and eighteen villages have been wiped out.
Thousands of households in the dark clouds have no son, but their loyal bones are as strong as the mountains and rivers.
Lin Zhong roughly planned the development areas for the three armies.
The New First Brigade is temporarily operating in the Heiyun Mountain area and is responsible for protecting the headquarters of Heiyun Village. Li Yunlong's independent brigade develops northward in the Datong Suzhou area, and Cheng Xiazi develops southward in the Taiyuan City area.
One day later, the three armies prepared to separate at the foot of Heiyun Mountain.
Many soldiers were in a state of confusion after hearing about it. Are they leaving now?
Some soldiers almost burst into tears thinking they were about to leave Heiyun Village.
The food, training, and various conditions in Heiyun Village are no different from those of gods to them.
What's more important is that Heiyun Village treats them as human beings and will arrange people to take care of their various demands and solve various difficulties for them on a regular basis.
The soldiers looked at the Black Cloud Mountain with reluctance at the foot of the mountain...
Lin Zhong stood in front of the three armies and saluted them upright, picked up a black bowl and filled it with wine, raising his hands slightly.
"Everyone!"
"This is a difficult time, so I, Lin Zhong, would like to express my respect to everyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhong was done with it.
Zhao Gang, Cheng Xiazi, and Zhang Dabiao immediately poured a bowl of wine and drank it all, then saluted in unison.
"Don't worry, Commander, I promise to complete the mission!"
Lin Zhong nodded, "We will replenish supplies regularly every month. Within a few months, we will completely eliminate all Japanese in the northwest of Shanxi!"
The three armies saluted with overwhelming momentum, turned around, and walked away.
Lin Zhong stood halfway up the mountain and watched the three armies leave with mixed feelings in his heart. When the three armies returned one day, the whole of Shanxi was bound to completely change the situation, and Lin Zhong's name was no longer limited to northwest Shanxi.
As soon as I returned to the lobby of Heiyun Village, I saw the monk running over panting before I even took a few breaths.
"Master!"
"Something happened, Commander!"
Lin Zhong had a dark look on his face. After all, he was also a group leader, so he couldn't keep his focus?
"put."
"Commander, the Organization Department of Leijia Town sent us a letter, saying that the children of the families of those killed in the first battle of our New First Division were kidnapped, and now their families are clamoring to hang themselves." The monk said in a hurried tone.
After hearing this, Lin Zhong slammed the teacup on the table.
boom!
"asshole!"
"The children of the families of those killed in battle have been robbed. Are they still human? Do they still have humanity?"
"Go, take people to investigate immediately, and be sure to give an explanation and find the child."
"The troops who followed my new first division died on the battlefield, and their children were kidnapped. If we didn't even let go of them, it would chill the hearts of many soldiers."
"Who dares to join our army in Heiyun Village in the future!"
The monk nodded after hearing this, "It's the teacher, I'll go investigate right away."
Lin Zhong sat back on the chair. Before the monk could walk out, he was suddenly startled as if he thought of something.
"Wait a minute, what's this family's last name?"
The monk stopped and replied: "Come back to the division commander, I heard from the person who organized the troops that his surname seems to be Xiahou."
boom!
It was like a bomb exploding in Lin Zhong's mind.
When Lao Li gave the note, he took a look at it and clearly remembered that the address on it was Leijia Town!
"Xiahou..." Lin Zhong stood up and clenched his fists.
I remember that Lao Li said that Xiahou Quan left a child at his sister's house, and that child was most likely a descendant of Xiahou Quan.
"As the leader of my new division, Lao Xia will never rest in peace even in heaven if his children are kidnapped after his death."
"Monk, let's go, take me to that house."
"quick!"
"It's the teacher!"
...
Five minutes later, monk Lin Zhong rode a military truck and drove straight to Leijia Town.
Two hours later.
Leijia Town, Meihua Village.
It is still more than ten miles away from the granary of Leijia Town where Lin Zhong originally attacked. It is a small village with only a few hundred households.
A family on the edge of the village.
In a few thatched houses, a middle-aged woman wearing red coarse cloth shouted that she wanted to hang herself.
Pull off three feet of white silk and hang it on the beam, and move a wooden bench to hang it up.
Fortunately, his man found her in time and hugged her down.
"enough!"
"Xiao Nan, it's not your fault that the child is lost. We can still find it if we look hard."
"You can't do it, can you?"
The middle-aged man hugged Xiaonan tightly, fearing that she would commit suicide again.
Xiao Nan collapsed on the ground and kept crying.
"You'd better find another one, I can't live anymore."
at this time.
Crunch...
The door of the thatched house was pushed open, and it was Monk Lin Zhong.
The two people in the house were a little surprised when they saw Monk Lin Zhong.
The man stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
Then Monk Lin Zhong and the two men explained their intention. The man was a little surprised.
Xiao Nan entered the inner room and cried with tears in her eyes. She didn't believe the two people who came in at all.
Eighth Route? Bullshit!
"Lao Xia, tell them to get lost!"
"It was them. If it weren't for them, my brother wouldn't have died at all!"
"Little Ling won't lose it at all!"
Xiao Nan had two younger brothers, Xia Houquan and Xia Houqing. One joined the Eighth Route Army and the other joined the Shanxi-Sui Army.
As early as a year ago, Xia Houqing died in battle, but the Jinsui Army didn't even give a shit. They even said they had pensions, but they were exploited at all levels. When they got it, they gave them half a pound of white flour.
Xiaonan's husband, Lu Ping, greeted the two of them in the outer room and talked about the cause and effect.
"Both leaders, Xiaonan is not in a stable mood, please forgive me."
Lin Zhong waved his hand, "It's okay, brother, please tell me specifically what happened at that time."
Lu Changping sighed and said: "Xiao Nan and I go to the fields every day to look at the crops, and then we leave Xiao Ling at home alone. Who would have thought that there would be no one around after we come back."
"At first we thought Xiao Ling ran away for fun, but we searched the whole village and even mobilized many villagers to follow him."
"I searched all day and all night but couldn't find it."
"Xiao Nan...she can't have children. We have always raised Xiao Ling as our biological son. Now Xiao Nan can't accept it."
"I have always felt guilty about me, but now...hey, two leaders, please help us."
"Xiao Ling's father went to join the army. It seems that he killed many Japanese as a small official. Such a hero should at least leave a legacy!"
As he spoke, the corners of Lu Changping's eyes became moist.
Lin Zhong clenched his fist tightly.
"Brother Lu Ping, Sister Xiao Nan, don't worry, I will help you find Xiao Ling within one day!"
"If you can't find it in one day, I, Lin Zhong, am ashamed of the heroic spirit!"
