Wang Yuanhe was the original village chief of Dawangzhuang, and his second son joined the garrison regiment and is now the squad leader.

Because he has read books and has prestige, he was the first person Chen Dasheng to complete after taking office.

In Chen Dasheng's own words, only by bringing him down can his prestige in Dawangzhuang be established.

In the end, the Wang family sent all the family's savings and most of the rations to the maintenance association to let Wang Yuanhe pick up a life, but he also walked into the maintenance association, came out lying down, and raised it at home for nearly half a month before he could go to the ground.

"Bang ......"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded at the door, startling the Wang family.

As soon as the door was opened, a figure flashed in: "Don't be afraid, fellow countryman, we are the Eighth Route Army, and we are looking for Village Chief Wang if we have something!" ”

"You're the Eighth Route Army?" Wang Yuanhe asked vigilantly.

The maintenance club and those spies are too rampant, trying every means to frame everyone, pretending to be the Eighth Route Army is their usual method, Wang Yuanhe himself has suffered losses, and he will definitely not be fooled a second time.

The person who entered the house was the leader of the action team that assassinated Chen Dasheng a few days ago, and he was well aware of Village Chief Wang's concerns, so he quickly answered.

"Village Chief Wang, rest assured, I am indeed the Eighth Route Army. I know that your son is a squad leader in the third company of the second battalion of the garrison regiment, and now you should believe me! ”

"In addition, Chen Dasheng, a dog traitor, has been executed by us."

"A few days ago, the maintenance council returned the food to you, which is what we forced them to do."

Wang Yuanhe was excited, and immediately replied: "You are the Eighth Route Army, and I have never said anything about the second child being the squad leader of the garrison regiment, only the Eighth Route Army itself knows." ”

"Comrade, is it that the main force is going to fight back."

"Those spies and the second dog are too bastards, they don't treat the villagers as people, if you don't come back, the villagers won't be able to hold on."

The team leader immediately replied: "Village Chief Wang, rest assured, the troops will definitely come back." ”

"But it will take some time, and now the power of the Japanese puppet army in the base area is too great, and the strongholds are being repaired everywhere, and blockade ditches and blockade walls are built, and the main force is not an opponent yet."

"We are waiting for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese puppet army at a critical moment, turn defeat into victory, and then fight back."

Seeing the disappointed expression on Wang Yuanhe's face, the team leader continued.

"Village Chief Wang rest assured, although the main force can't be killed back now, we won't leave when we come, and we will always lurk around you to protect everyone's safety."

"And more and more troops will come back in batches to protect everyone's safety and prepare for the counteroffensive of the main force."

"I'm here today because I need Village Chief Wang's help."

As long as the Eighth Route Army does not forget everyone, there is still hope for the future.

Wang Yuanhe's face looked a lot better, and he immediately asked, "What's the matter?" If I can do it, I'll do it. ”

"We, the Eighth Route Army, want you to serve as the president of the Dawangzhuang Maintenance Association!" The team leader looked at Wang Yuanhe and said sincerely.

"No way!"

Wang Yuanhe's eyes immediately widened, and he vetoed without hesitation, and he also had renewed doubts about the identity of the team leader's Eighth Route Army.

"I am Chinese, at least I know that I am polite and honest, and I will never betray my ancestors and give my life to the Japanese!"

The team leader immediately explained: "Village Chief Wang, don't be angry, listen to what I have to say." ”

"After coming here, we were fully capable of completely destroying the Dawangzhuang Maintenance Society, but we didn't do so."

"Because the Japanese will come here to form a new maintenance association, and the villagers will suffer again."

"In the end, we decided to punish only the evildoers and kill the president of the maintenance association."

"Kill to stop killing, so that the president of the maintenance association sent by the little devil does not dare to take office, and force the little devil to elect the president of the maintenance association from among the villagers, ostensibly to sell his life to the Japanese, but in fact, to protect the villagers, at least it can make the villagers suffer less crimes."

"Tomorrow, the vice president of the maintenance association will convene a meeting of the villagers and let everyone elect the president of the maintenance association."

"As long as Village Chief Wang takes the initiative to stand up, you will definitely be the president of the maintenance association."

"In addition, Village Chief Wang, you are not alone, after becoming the president of the maintenance association, we will cooperate with you to kill the hardcore traitors in the maintenance association, and then replace them with our own people."

"There are several members of the guerrillas in Dawangzhuang lurking in the nearby mountains, and as long as the opportunity is right, they can go out of the mountains and act openly under the hat of maintaining the escort of the society to protect the safety of the villagers."

Wang Yuanhe wrinkled his brows and fell into deep thought, and suddenly asked a minute later: "What if the Japanese let me requisition grain?" ”

"The little food in the hands of the villagers is used to save lives in the future, if I listen to the orders of the Japanese, I will definitely be poked in the backbone by the villagers and cause everyone to starve to death."

"If you don't do anything for the Japanese, they will definitely send troops to the countryside to grab food, and the villagers will suffer."

The team leader thought for a moment and replied very resolutely: "If you can delay it, you can delay it, and if you can't delay it, give them the food." ”

"Tell the villagers that this grain is temporarily borrowed by our Eighth Route Army, and we will definitely grab it back for everyone. In case of any accident and we can't get it back, our garrison regiment will also get food from other channels to compensate everyone. ”

"In addition, after you become the president of the maintenance association, Village Chief Wang, you can continue to organize the villagers to dig deep wells in the field, so that more fields can be planted with food after spring ploughing."

"If you are not right, these lands will definitely be robbed by the Japanese and traitors, and then the villagers' life-saving food will be gone."

"I deserve!" Wang Yuanhe was moved by the words and made a decision very firmly.

In the stronghold of Guanshan Town, Captain Yoshida's brows, which had been twisted for several days, finally relaxed.

After more than 10 days, the problem of no president of the village maintenance association was finally solved.

The list in hand is the candidate for the president of each village maintenance association.

Battalion Commander Zhang stood in front of him and explained with a compliment.

"Sir, let's count it: twenty-seven of these presidents are the original village heads, and there must be many people with a background in the Eighth Route Army."

"But after analyzing it, we don't have to worry about this problem at all?"

"There is no longer the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the blockade area, and those stragglers can't become a climate, even if they are oriented to the Eighth Route Army in their hearts, it won't affect the imperial army to build this place into an occupation area."

"In addition, these presidents have a lot of prestige in each village, and with them, even if there is a severe drought in North China, each village can cultivate a lot of fields."

"After the autumn harvest, whether they want to or not, these grains will be from the imperial army."

Captain Yoshida believed in force the most, stared at Battalion Commander Zhang and asked, "The vice president of the maintenance committee and the chief and deputy captains of the escort team are all our people!" ”

Battalion Commander Zhang hurriedly replied: "It's all our people." ”

"That's good!" Captain Yoshida said with satisfaction.

"The president of the maintenance association is just a name, and it still depends on the army to really control those ordinary people."

"As long as the troops are in our hands, those maintenance guild presidents can't make any big waves."

"Tell all the vice presidents of the maintenance association that once it is discovered that the president of the maintenance association has two hearts, secretly connected with the Eighth Route Army, and betrayed the imperial army, I will allow them to be executed on the spot, and I will be the president of the maintenance association."

"If it is found that someone in the village is fornicating with the Eighth Route Army to fight against the Imperial Army, they can directly arrest people without the consent of the chairman of the maintenance association."
