After breakfast, Qiao Youhua gathered all the Dragon Tooth officers and soldiers, and arranged for someone to move the hundreds of small columbarium altars they had brought all the way back from the truck.

Some are even just wrapped in cloth bags.

Xu You knew what Qiao Youhua was going to do, so he led the people in the village to start digging on a mountain forest wasteland about two kilometers away from their stationing place according to Qiao Youhua's instructions.

Half an hour later, Qiao Youhua took the officers and soldiers to the wasteland with the ashes of the fallen soldiers, and Xu Youcai had already dug hundreds of soil pits of similar size here.

At this moment, Hu Ling'er, Wan Ying'er and hundreds of old and weak women and children from Zheng Village followed.

Everyone had solemn expressions, Qiao Youhua stood at the front of the team, suddenly turned around, and glanced around at the dragon tooth soldiers standing in front of him with a solemn face.

"A few months ago, I said that I would bring you back!" Life or death! Luckily, we're all back! Although some soldiers unfortunately sacrificed their lives for the country, their heroic souls should be with us! ”

After speaking, after a pause, Qiao Youhua looked up at the blue sky, and said in a loud voice: "Heroic souls who sacrificed their lives for the country, Yan Zhao Jian'er, my brothers, you can rest in peace!" Soldiers martyred! The soul returns to its homeland!! ”

Qiao Youhua's voice echoed in the air for a long time, and under his leadership, all the officers and soldiers puffed up their chests and solemnly raised their hands in salute!

I couldn't help but recall the pictures of blood and fire when they swore south and fought thousands of miles to the battlefields of Nanjing and Xuzhou under the joy of the people of Zhengcun.

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times!

Recalling the hideous years when brothers and sisters fought side by side, crossed the line of fire, advanced and retreated together, and lived and died together, many dragon tooth soldiers couldn't help but shed tears.

Qiao Youhua put down his right hand and waved his hand: "Send the brothers who died in battle, and go to the ground for peace!" ”

The officers and soldiers of the dragon's tooth stepped forward one after another, and put the ashes into the pit dug in advance.

Then they returned to the cemetery and lined up in a neat line!

Qiao Youhua held a Mauser rifle in his hand and raised it in vain, and all the officers and soldiers followed suit, and suddenly raised the steel gun in his hand.

Qiao Youhua pulled the bolt of the gun and said, "Fire the gun, see off the martyred brothers!" ”

"Bang bang bang ......" With the gun in Qiao Youhua's hand, a neat and dense gunfire resounded through the mountains and forests, echoing for a long time.

"If the motherland suffers an invasion, hot-blooded men should be self-reliant, drink this bowl of hometown wine, and the strong man will never return!" Putting down the gun, Qiao Youhua suddenly sang the theme song of a famous military TV series in later generations, and the bleak and tragic singing voice made people's blood boil and their emotions were stirring.

Jiang Haidong's hearts moved, and they sang along, and when the four of them finished singing, the dragon tooth officers and soldiers present, Hu Ling'er, Wan Ying'er, and Liu Ruhan all shed tears and sang in unison.

"If the motherland suffers an invasion, the hot-blooded man should be self-reliant, drink this bowl of hometown wine, and the strong man will never return......" The impassioned song resounded through the resting place of the fallen soldiers' souls, and reverberated for a long time.

At the end of this simple burial and send-off ceremony, Qiao Youhua convened, Jiang Haidong, Ma Biao, Wu Ming, Liu Jianhua, Ma Yunlong, Zheng Yunshan and others in the original Juyi Hall of the cottage to discuss the next development goals.

Qiao Youhua sat in the first place, lit a cigarette and took two puffs and said: "In the future, we will use Feiyunling as a base to develop anti-Japanese armed forces!" Let's all share your opinions. ”

Liu Jianhua was the first to speak: "Tuanzao, the decision to use Feiyunling as a base is very good, but at the moment we have many problems that need to be solved urgently, such as the people's housing, clothing, food and even medicine are in short supply, and now the weather is not cold, our soldiers can sleep on the grass and the woods."

However, there is a lot of rain in summer, and it will definitely not work for a long time, after all, the soldiers are also flesh and blood, not iron!

All in all, what we lack most now is not soldiers, but materials, money, and things that can solve the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the people, and we all need them urgently. ”

"Jianhua is right, the top priority is to solve the shortage of food, oil, salt, clothing and other materials, these things want to obtain, there are no more than two ways, one is to rob, but to buy with money!" Wu Ming nodded.

"Four eyes, we are behind enemy lines, in the Japanese war zone, not to mention that we don't have much money, even if we have money, no one dares to trade with us, do you expect the Japanese to trade with us? Of course, it's the little devil and the second devil who robbed his son of a bitch. Ma Biao said.

Jiang Haidong said: "It's not so easy to rob, we just attacked Yangliu Town, and the Japanese strongholds in Zhengding County and even around must have heard the wind and raised their vigilance."

Even if we succeed in attacking that place, it will be troublesome to collect these materials and transport them, so robbing is not the best way, it can only solve the urgent need, not a long-term solution. ”

"Why don't you rob us of supplies?" Ma Biao said puzzled.

"After listening to me, we don't have to rob the supplies, we can rob the gold and silver in the hands of the devils, puppet army, traitors and bullies, and then use the money to buy the materials we need.

After all, gold and silver treasures, these hard currencies are better than grain to take away. Jiang Haidong said and looked at Qiao Youhua, who was smoking.

"That's a good idea, but who are we going to buy it from once we've robbed it?" Ma Biao said.

Qiao Youhua suddenly stood up: "I'll go and see if I can get the way of black market trading, let's stop here today, Yunshan, you go and take over the knife, patrol, let the knife they withdraw to rest, put a night of sentry." ”

After speaking, Qiao Youhua walked straight away.

"Haidong, the head said that he can get a way, where can he get it?" After Qiao Youhua left, Ma Biao touched Jiang Haidong with his elbow and asked.

"Have you all forgotten whose territory this Feiyun Ridge used to be?" Jiang Haidong said.

Ma Biao and the others were stunned at first, and then their faces were suddenly colored, and Ma Biao even showed a sly smile: "The Dragon King is going to make a move, and even people will lead the way under his command!" Ha ha! ”

"Okay, let's all disperse, if you are idle, you can take the brothers to hunt in the back mountains, which can also solve the urgent need of food shortage." Jiang Haidong waved his hand.

…………

Qiao Youhua walked out of the justice hall and found that Hu Ling'er was sitting in a daze with her legs on a big stone not far away, and after looking around, she took two puffs of the cigarette in her mouth and walked towards her.

Sensing the sound of footsteps, Hu Linger suddenly turned her head, looked back and saw Qiao Youhua walking towards her, her fair face turned red for no reason, and her heart began to flutter and beat.

Qiao Youhua approached and unintentionally found that Hu Linger's strength had also reached the peak of the day after tomorrow, one level higher than Jiang Haidong and them, and it seemed that she was still very talented.

"Miss Ling'er, where's Ying'er?" Qiao Youhua was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and asked.

Hu Ling'er showed a touch of disappointment in her eyes, and said softly: "She went to take the women in the village into the mountains to pick wild vegetables with Yu'er, what's the matter, you have something to do with her?" ”

Qiao Youhua saw that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not looking for her, I'm looking for you." ”
