The general strategic policy of the little devils is still to capture Chongqing and force the Nationalist Government to surrender, so the forces of the little devils are still concentrated on the war in the south, and for what is happening in the north, they still have to focus on pacification, supplemented by extermination.

The commander-in-chief of the little devils in Shanxi received the news that they were going to attack Changsha, so a large amount of resources had to be raised in the northern occupation areas to be transported to the front line, and Shanxi's coal resources had become an important link.

But the commander of the little devil in Shanxi was worried, the east was the new 33rd Army of Taihang Mountain, occupying Heshun County, and the west was the main force of the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army, in the battle some time ago, they lost a few county towns to maintain the stability of the western front, and the strength of Zhongtiao Mountain in the south of Jin should not be underestimated, and recently the Suiyuan area in the northwest direction has become more and more unstable, and Fu Yisheng's Seventh Army seems to have a tendency to fight back.

All these changes made the little devil commander feel like he was on pins and needles, so he kept writing letters to Liao Fan, hoping to paralyze Liao Fan and not use troops against him, and mobilized the troops to the area of Jindong to deploy defenses in case of sudden changes in the war in Jindong.

Although Fu Yisheng's Seventh Group was subordinate to the Jingsui Army, since the Jingsui Army lost Taiyuan, the control area of the Seventh Group Army was the Suiyuan region, and Fu Yisheng's group army headquarters and Yan Laoxi's headquarters were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

The living space of the seventh group was constantly suppressed by the little devils, and the war horses that Fu Yisheng promised Liao Fan were not delivered, Fu Yisheng felt that this matter was very faceless, this was a breach of trust in front of his subordinates, this was not his Fu Yisheng's style, so Fu Yisheng blamed it all on the little devils.

Fu Yisheng finally saw the opportunity, the Kwantung Army was defeated in Nomenkan, and the little devil was pinned down in Shanxi, Fu Yisheng began an active battle against the little devil with the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army, and even led the troops all the way to Baotou, just when Liao Fan was busy developing, Baotou was recovered almost overnight, and the Seventh Army came back.

After Liao Fan received the information, he looked at what his top boss did, and felt sincerely admired, but Liao Fan was worried, because he wanted to go north to Taihang Mountain, and there was a plan for Baotou, but now that his old boss occupied Baotou, he really couldn't do it.

Baotou was recovered by the Seventh Army, and Changsha was about to start a big war again, but the little devils in Shanxi couldn't sit still, they were really in an embattled situation.

According to the analysis of the commander of the little devil, if these surrounding troops belong to the deployment of a commander, then the Japanese army in Shanxi will be beaten to the slag, fortunately the troops around Shanxi belong to several families, otherwise it is not certain who Shanxi belongs to now.

Although Shanxi is still quite quiet on the surface, the surrounding situation seems that the road out of Shanxi is only in the southeast of Jin and the northeast of Jin, but these two directions are related to Liao Fan's new 33rd Army, which cannot help but make the commander of the little devil start to be afraid of Liao Fan.

In order to break the current predicament, the commander of the little devils in Shanxi decided to take a risky and bold move.

At this time, Chu Pengtian took his own platoon of soldiers into six groups and arrived in the northwest of Jin, which is the area where the Eighth Route Army and the little devils are fighting, and most of the people have been ruined and relieved of their lives in the perennial war, but not all the people.

This is a very poor village, but no matter how poor the village is, there are rich people, there is a big family in this village, doing local business, the land around the village is owned by this family, it is said that their family was a big family in this village in the early Qing Dynasty.

After several generations of operation, they are very prestigious here, whether Yan Laoxi comes, or the Eighth Route Army comes, and finally the little devil comes, this family actually eats black and white, and lives a stable life in the village.

Since it is a large family, of course, the people who take care of the home are indispensable, and the people who take care of the home must of course have the ability, otherwise they will not be able to enter the big family.

"Master, I will definitely take Xiaoyingzi with me this time!"

Opposite Chu Pengtian sat an old man over half a hundred years old, and behind the old man stood a young girl who was less than twenty years old.

The girl named Yingzi kept standing behind the old man with her head bowed and did not dare to say a word, because she knew that it was useless for him to say anything.

This old man is Chu Pengtian's master, Chu Pengtian was adopted by him since he was a child, and until now he only knows that everyone is called an old knife and gun, he once participated in the Boxer Rebellion, and he has fought foreign devils, but he doesn't know why he fell here.

was adopted with Chu Pengtian and the girl behind the old man, from childhood to adulthood, the old man was not good or bad to the two of them, anyway, he was not hungry for the two people, but he was indispensable for beating and scolding the two people.

Later, Chu Pengtian couldn't stand the abuse of the old man, and after learning a lot of skills from the old man, he left the old man, but in the end Chu Pengtian found that he could never forget this girl named Yingzi, the two of them have been together day and night for many years, and the relationship has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Although Chu Pengtian has rarely come back in the past few years since he left, once he arrives in Shanxi, he will inevitably come to see Yingzi, and he will also bring back a lot of things to Yingzi from other places, as for where the things have gone now, Yingzi doesn't know.

"You, an unfilial son, have already run away, if you pick up Yingzi again, who will provide for me?" The old man smoked a dry cigarette, his eyes were cloudy, and he occasionally let out a few coughs that were not human.

But Chu Pengtian knew very well that he couldn't underestimate the old man in front of him, and the old man was also his master after all, Chu Pengtian didn't want to be a favor, even if the old man didn't have the grace of adoption for Chu Pengtian, but Chu Pengtian's ability was also inherited from the old man.

"Old man, I have already said it, if you are willing to go with us, I promise to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and old man, don't let me know anything, the gold and silver jewelry I gave to Yingzi in the past few years have been taken away by you, and the money is enough for you to spend several lifetimes!" Chu Pengtian said.

The old man looked at Chu Pengtian with his head down and smoking dryly, Chu Pengtian looked at the cigarette stick in his hand and became angry, when he loaded the cigarette pouch for the old man, he was beaten by the old man's cigarette stick, and now that several years have passed, he is still stunned when he sees the cigarette stick.

"The owner treats me well, and now the owner has few people, I can't leave!" The old man seemed to remember some old things.

Since Chu Pengtian came here last night, Chu Pengtian didn't know how much saliva he had wasted, and the old man had never let go until now, although he didn't know what kind of favor the owner had for the old man, but this kindness must not be small, otherwise the old man would not have to take a lifetime to pay it back.

"Master, don't force me!"

Chu Pengtian is really helpless, it has been out for four days now, Li Lingfei must have known about him leaving the army without authorization, if Liao Fan knows that he left the army without authorization, he may not know how to punish him after he goes back.

Now Chu Pengtian must settle the matter and return to the troops.

"Chu boy, although I don't know what you have made a name for yourself outside, but in this realm, the little devils, the Eighth Route Army and the bandits don't dare to make a move against the owner easily, if you use force, you have to imagine the consequences between this!"

The old man was not moved by Chu Pengtian's threat at all, he had experienced too many things, and he had already stopped this life.

Chu Pengtian looked at his master at a loss, his teeth hated his master, but there was nothing he could do.

"Company commander, someone is coming outside!" A soldier of the special service company said to Chu Pengtian.

"Let the brethren hide first!" Chu Pengtian glanced at Yingzi affectionately, and then hid in the back room with his own people.

The door opened, and a man of about thirty years old walked in, although this person was dignified, but his eyes were full of thief eyebrows, which made people look very uncomfortable.

"Old knives and guns, what are you doing in the house?"

"Yo! It's the young owner who is here! The old knife and gun welcomed the young owner into the house.

The young owner sat on the chair without saying a word, and then glanced at Yingzi who was following the old knife and gun intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ahem, the young owner doesn't know what happened to the old man who came to me?"

"My dad said, let you take someone on another trip tonight!"

"East or West?" The old knife gun seems to do such things a lot, and he doesn't even ask anything.

"East, go at night, remember that we must not let those hungry peasants and bandits get their hands on it, otherwise we will not be able to eat and walk around!" The young proprietor reverted to a serious appearance, showing the demeanor of the young proprietor, rather than the prostitutes who came to visit the kiln.

"Is it still the same old place?" The old knife asked.

"This time the distance is a bit far, otherwise I don't have to come to you in person, continue to walk east after the old place, to the next county seat, naturally someone will follow you, this time just deliver the goods, don't ask anything!" Shao Dong said.

"How many?" The old knife gun felt that this time the matter was unusual, and he had never asked how much the goods were before.

"Go directly to the warehouse to pick up the goods at night, the sixth will be waiting for you there, and the sixth will help you count the goods!" The young owner said, "Okay, pay attention to safety at night, don't lose your errand if you lose your head this year!" ”

After saying that, the young owner got up and walked outside the house, but he leaned closer to Yingzi intentionally or unintentionally, and the moment he walked out of the room, he pinched Yingzi's big ass with one hand.

"Ahh Yingzi screamed in fright at the sudden hand.

"Yingzi is getting more and more smart, why don't you hurry up and find someone to marry?" The young owner looked at Yingzi with a smile.

The old knife and gun accompanied the smiling face and said: "Thank you Shaodong for your concern, there is no suitable person, I would rather raise Yingzi for the rest of my life!" ”

Chu Pengtian, who was hiding in the house, saw this scene and was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, but his sanity was not lost, especially what the young owner said to his master just now, which made Chu Pengtian curious.

"Alright, I'm leaving, don't forget about the night!" The young owner left the yard of the old knife and gun with a smile of *.

Chu Pengtian reappeared in the room and looked at his master: "Master, what's going on at night?" ”

"I don't know! You better go back early, I can't let Yingzi go with you, I'm a lonely old man when Yingzi leaves, and I'm not even a home here! The old man began to push Chu Pengtian away.

Chu Pengtian shook his head: "This time, either Yingzi will go with me, or you two will go with me." ”

"You don't have to play your little calculations, it may take three days to deliver the goods this time, I will take Yingzi with me!" The old man was afraid that after he left, Chu Pengtian would leave with Yingzi, so this time he asked to take Yingzi with him.

Chu Pengtian thought about it, it takes three days to go back and forth, which is enough to delay things, when to deliver the goods is not good, but at this time, he came out this time to hide from everyone, and when he goes back, Liao Fan may not know how to punish him, and the most important thing is whether there will be a chance to see Yingzi after going back this time.
