The emotions of the people of Baijia Village were appeased, but in fact, there was no need to be appeased, and when the kind people sent their sons, husbands, and fathers to the Independence Company, their hearts were already prepared for the worst.

In these years, there are wars everywhere, where can there be no death?

It's just that the relatives of the soldiers may be praying, and it is better not to sacrifice their own relatives.

In Independence Mountain, Da Niu successfully completed the task when he returned, and "invited" three doctors from the county town, one of whom was voluntary, and two of whom were threatened by Zhou Da Niu with a gun to his head, and the medicine he needed was also brought up the mountain.

Except for three of the twenty-seven seriously wounded who did not survive, the other twenty-four were out of danger and would recover as long as they recuperated for a period of time.

After dealing with these things, Han Feng took a few big cattle down the mountain and went to Baijia Village, he came to make amends, and the villagers handed over the child to him, which was the trust of the villagers in him Han Feng, but he betrayed the trust of the villagers and let more than 170 recruits die in this battle.

Han Feng was mentally prepared, he could be cruel to the enemy, he could act arrogantly, and he could even be arrogant, and he had no one in his eyes, but when facing his own soldiers, he regarded them as his brothers, not subordinates.

More than 100 people were sacrificed in this battle, but Han Feng could not guarantee whether more people would be sacrificed in the next battle.

Han Feng walked to the entrance of Baijia Village with a heavy heart, and the villagers were all familiar with this young independent company commander.

The anger and coldness that I thought did not appear, and the villagers greeted each other even more enthusiastically than before, "Company Commander Han! ”

"Company Commander Han, you're here!"

Zhou Daniu said in a low voice: "Third brother, the villagers don't seem to have any emotions, it seems that Deputy Company Commander Wu has done a good job in ideological work!" ”

Han Feng shook his head, he knew Lao Wu's character too well, there was no problem at all in obeying orders to fight, expecting him to do ideological work for the people? When recruiting soldiers, there were three sentences: "Our Eighth Route Army is a team that fights devils", "If you want to fight devils, you should join our Eighth Route Army", and "Everyone is willing to join the army or not...... It seems that the people are tolerant, understand the righteousness, and the people's hearts are so simple!

"Let's go, Da Niu, find Lao Wu and them, and then we'll go to see the village chief."

"Yes!"

…… The old village chief of Baijia Village is an elder with great wisdom, and he is wise and foolish, although he looks very simple and dull.

Han Feng and his entourage rushed to the old village chief's house, and specially bought some fabrics, which is a little heart, in addition to the fabrics, there is also a box of silver dollars stolen by the commandos from the rich and traitors in the county, the turmoil during the Anti-Japanese War, the national control area, the puppet Manchukuo, the puppet Republic of China, etc., each has its own currency in financial circulation, often you take the currency of one place to another place to consume, it is very likely that it will not be recognized, except for gold and silver, these hard goods, only the silver dollar is recognized by various forces.

"What are you doing here?" The old village chief righteously rejected Han Feng's gift.

Han Feng said: "Old village chief, don't shirk, this box of silver dollars is what we snatched from traitors and bad gentry and devils, in the battle of Independence Mountain, many soldiers who went out of Baijia Village died heroically, but the living people still have to continue to live, our Eighth Route Army has nothing, but what the villagers have is what our Eighth Route Army has, and we are the sons and daughters of the villagers...... The war is too cruel, and these powers should be some of the hearts of our independent company.

The village chief is a responsible cadre, you know the situation of every household in Baijia Village, you can distribute these silver dollars according to everyone's needs!

In this way, at least my heart can be comforted a little. ”

Alas-

The sighing old village chief nodded, the eyes of the young man in front of him were full of sincerity, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of experience and tempering could forge such an outstanding young man, "Okay! Company Commander Han, then I'll take this box of silver dollars! ”

"Thank you to the village chief for understanding the righteousness, I still have one more thing I want to trouble the village chief."

"If Company Commander Han has anything to say, just say it directly."

"Okay, old village chief, then I'll say it bluntly, the devil has planted two heels in a row in the hands of our independent company, according to my estimates, the Japanese army will definitely carry out a third encirclement and suppression against our independent company, and this time the encirclement and suppression, the Japanese army will definitely use a large number of troops, maybe a few hundred, or maybe a few thousand.

This is nothing, just a little, the independent mountain is not small, stretching for more than ten miles, and the mountain is complicated, and the Japanese army has suffered a lot of losses in this regard.

With the cunning and cruelty of the devils, this time they will encircle and suppress our independent company, and most of them will take the villagers of Baijia Village to force our independent company to fight a decisive battle, and they will even sweep the surrounding villages and slaughter the people.

Old village chief, you have to take precautions in advance! ”

The old village chief was shocked when he heard this, Baijia Village has been in the enemy-occupied area, and the unstable situation has lasted for several years, and the devils come from time to time to grab some things, levy some labor, and even kill a few people, which is a common thing, so although the people hate the devils, they are also talking about the tiger's color.

However, after the independent company came, a checkpoint was set up in the area of Baijia Village, and the area around Baijia Village was stabilized, and for several months, there was no Japanese puppet army to harass it, because the attention of the Japanese puppet army had long been attracted to the independent company.

This is also the reason why the people in the Baijia Village area support the Independence Company.

But Company Commander Han actually said now that the Japanese army would send a large army to sweep Baijia Village, and even slaughter the villagers, how could the old village chief not be afraid?

"Company Commander Han, what you said is true?"

"It's very likely, we can't help but prepare early."

"You say, Lian Commander Han, as long as you can save the people of my Baijia Village, I am willing to cooperate with you." It's just that the old village chief's expression is still worried.

Zhou Daniu said: "Village chief, don't be too afraid, our company commander has already thought of an idea about this matter, as long as the villagers cooperate to do a good job, everyone will not have an accident." ”

The old village chief hurriedly said, "Okay, Lian Commander Han, just tell me your idea!" ”

Han Feng said: "Old village chief, I have to trouble you to gather all the villagers in Baijia Village first, and I will explain it carefully to you." ”

"Good!"

The old village chief said that he would do it, and went out with a gong, knocking and shouting from house to house along the village path: "Everyone gather, let's have a meeting on the rice field, no one should delay the 100,000 urgent matters." ”

"Assemble and gather, Lao Li...... Lao Liu ......"

"What's going on? Meeting? ”

"It seems like it's important to listen to the village chief."

"Let's go, everyone, hurry up!"

The people of Baijia Village responded one after another, but the efficiency was still not high, the old village chief took the whole village away, and after nearly two hours, the people of Baijia Village rushed to the rice field in a swaying ......
