"Why did you bring another woman back? Didn't you make another mistake? Liu Ying saw Shao Fei bring Deng Nan back, and teased him in a weird way.

Shao Fei introduced: "Her name is Deng Nan, and it depends on her whether this mission can be successfully completed."

"Hello." Liu Ying stretched out her hand generously, but Deng Nan saw so many strangers for the first time, and they were all holding guns, so he was a little afraid.

Shao Fei pointed to the troops behind him and said, "This is the team that kills devils, and they are all good people according to your words."

Deng Nan looked at the female soldiers and asked Shao Fei: "I believe in you, but why do you take women to fight devils?" My mother said that women should stay at home, get married and have children. ”

Shao Fei said with a smile: "The times are different, men and women are the same."

Deng Nan said: "I'll take you into the village."

Subsequently, under the leadership of Deng Nan, the troops gathered and marched towards Zhongyi Village. Along the way, Shao Fei constantly emphasized military appearance and military discipline.

Chunggui Village is located at the foot of the mountain between the two mountains, surrounded by trees that are so dense that they are also hidden. Because the area is not very large, there are also many houses built in the middle of the mountain. Only the large house in the middle of the village is particularly eye-catching, like an ancestral hall.

The arrival of the troops caused quite a stir in the village. The village head, Deng Zhong, led the villagers out of the village and blocked Shao Fei and them at the head of the village.

Deng Zhong, a middle-aged man in his early forties, is burly and strong, powerful and powerful, and has a standard image of a Shandong man. He pointed to Shao Fei and asked Deng Nan, "Girl, why did you bring so many people over?" Who are they? ”

Deng Nan replied: "Dad, they are all good people, you said it, those who kill devils are good people and are loyal."

Before Shao Fei left, he first saluted, and then said, "Hello fellow." We are a team composed of the Eighth Route Army and the Sichuan Army, and we were ordered to come to carry out the mission. If we want to borrow your village to settle down, if it is not convenient, we can leave and go to another village. ”

Deng Zhong first took a lot of time at Shao Fei, and saw that his eyes were sharp; Observing the soldiers behind him, the queue was neat, like a well-trained unit.

Deng Zhong said: "If you really kill the Japanese, we villagers can offer you, but there are no Japanese here."

Shao Fei replied: "Of course there is no here, but there will be one under the mountain soon, and there are tens of thousands of people." I'll stay for half a month, and we'll leave when we get rid of the devils. ”

"I've heard that those pirates will be coming soon. Yi County has been occupied by them, and many people have died. Well, wait outside the village for now, and I'll arrange for you to vacate thirty houses. ”

"Thank you."

Shao Fei saluted again to show his gratitude. Deng Zhong took the villagers back to the village and arranged for Shao Fei and them to stay.

An hour later, Deng Zhong arranged for the two companies to stay in the northeast corner of the village. Shao Fei arranged two large houses with courtyards for the health team to treat the wounded. At the same time, Shao Fei repeatedly stressed that mass discipline should not bring unnecessary burdens to Zhongyi Village.

The arrival of the troops also made this small village boil. They learned that these people were a team of devil-fighting people, and they came over one after another, after all, most of the people in the village were descendants of the Beiyang Naval Division.

"Can you let me touch and rob?"

"What is this cylinder, cannon?"

"How is this gun different from anything else?"

"Let me shoot, I'll give you a mountain hare."

“……”

Inquisitive and enthusiastic, the villagers quickly became acquainted with the soldiers.

Shao Fei ordered the Sixth Company to send a squad to reconnoiter the mountainous terrain in this area. A special combat team was dispatched down the mountain to reconnoiter the main highways, landforms, and movements of the Japanese army near Yixian.

After the incident, Shao Fei and Yang Hongtao went to each platoon of the unit to check the resettlement situation.

They came to a compound surrounded by a fence with three wooden houses. The courtyard was crowded with people, most of whom were villagers who came to see the excitement. They were most interested in the snatching in the hands of the soldiers, and some of them were so bold that they were extremely excited when the soldiers stepped forward to touch the mold without paying attention.

Yang Hongtao said: "Big brother, you see, they are all strong, and they are different from people in other places, if they are soldiers, they are good seedlings."

"Heh" Shao Fei laughed, stepped forward and said loudly, "Do you want to shoot!?"

Shao Fei's words stimulated everyone present, and those villagers rushed up and surrounded Shao Fei.

"Yes, of course!"

"Just let me shoot and I'll give you a pheasant."

"Two of me!"

“……”

The villagers were hustle and bustle, and they were very excited.

"Quiet!" Shao Fei stretched out his hand to signal, and then said to everyone: "Before I came, there was a flat land not far from the head of the village. There are people who want to go where to gather, but each person can only shoot three shots. There is another thing I would like you to tell you that if someone in the village is sick, or the elderly are not feeling well, you can ask our doctors and nurses to see, it is those female soldiers. ”

A villager stepped forward and asked excitedly, "You mean what you say."

Shao Fei smiled: "Forget it."

"Let's go, shoot and go!"

The villagers in the courtyard quickly left and ran to tell each other.

Yang Hongtao immediately understood Shao Fei's intentions, and praised: "Big brother has a good idea."

Shao Fei instructed Yang Hongtao: "You take six companies to hand them over to shoot, remember not to waste every bullet."

This news quickly spread in Zhongyi Village, and Wu Jiang, the commander of the Sichuan Army's spy company, learned the news and came to Shao Fei.

Wu Jiang asked, "Chief Shao, is this something wrong?"

Shao Fei replied: "There's nothing wrong with it, they like it so much, it's fun for them." In the future, this is an enemy-occupied area, and I hope they can protect themselves. ”

"But why are you only asked to teach? Isn't it a bit intimate and different? ”

"After the First World War in Teng County, I didn't treat the Sichuan army as an outsider. The main six companies are three or eight big covers, and most of you are made by Zhongzheng and Hanyang. You know. ”

At this time, the village chief Deng Zhong came with his daughter Deng Nan angrily, wanting to have the potential to ask the teacher for guilt.

"I said, sir, how can you teach the men in the village to shoot! We have ancestral teachings, and men can't be soldiers. ”

"I didn't ask them to be soldiers, I just wanted them to learn how to shoot. If the devil comes, at least he can protect the village. ”

Shao Fei's explanation Deng Zhong still couldn't accept it, and said: "We came here to escape the war. Robbing can only bring right and wrong. ”

Shao Fei asked rhetorically: "Then what if the devil comes?" They will not reason with you, they will only kill people, set fires, and plunder. You are the descendants of the Beiyang Naval Division, and the Beiyang Naval Division's fight against the Japanese is so singable and crying. Your surname is Deng, you should know Deng Shichang. The cannonballs were gone, and they drove the Zhiyuan and Yoshino to the end! ”

Deng Zhong was powerless to refute Shao Fei's words, and said, "You come with me."

Deng Zhong took Shao Fei to the ancestral hall of Zhongyi Village, where more than 100 tablets were offered. Shao Fei accidentally discovered that there was a tablet of Deng Shichang.

Shao Fei asked curiously: "It's rare that you are Deng Shichang's descendants?"

Deng Zhong looked at the tablets and said, "No. The first village of Zhongyi Village was surnamed Li, a native of Fujian, and was actually a gangster. He and Deng Shichang are very good. After the fall of the Beiyang Naval Division, he felt that the imperial court was corrupt, so he led his subordinates and their families to escape here. He didn't want future generations to work hard for such a court, so he set up an ancestral precept that men were not allowed to be soldiers. In order to show respect for Deng Guandai, if anyone in the village gives birth to two boys, one of them can be surnamed Deng. ”

Only then did Shao Fei understand everything, and explained again: "I didn't plan to let them become soldiers, I just hope that you have the ability to protect your homeland." There are many mountains and dense forests here, and when the devil comes, he can take the old and weak women and children up the mountain to avoid trouble. Also, there will not be many people when the devil enters the mountain, you are all masters of hunting, and they will all become your prey. If you fight against the Japanese again, I think your ancestors will laugh at Jiuquan as well. ”

Deng Zhong turned around and smiled at Shao Fei: "I misunderstood." I want to ask, can you tell me to shoot a few shots? ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. In this way, the troops established their feet in Zhongyi Village. What Shao Fei could do was to prepare before the war and wait for the Battle of Taierzhuang to start.
