After listening to Ding Xiaosan's confession, Yang Zhen didn't speak, just stared at his eyes with murderous eyes. Seeing Yang Zhen's fierce gaze, Ding Xiaosan didn't dare to say anything, let alone bow his head when he looked at him.

After looking at Ding Xiaosan's expression after saying this, Yang Zhen slightly judged the authenticity of his words before saying, "It's up to you whether to tell the truth or not." But if you deceive us, you know the result. I can tell you unequivocally that if there is even the slightest falsehood in your words, you will know what it means to be worse than dead. ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Ding Xiaosan was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed vigorously and said: "Don't dare, the little one doesn't dare to hide anything, everything he says is the truth." ”

Looking at the police chief's bear-like appearance, Yang Zhen shook his head, pointed to Zhang Ting, who was still standing outside the door, and said, "Say, what's going on with this girl?" Did you steal it? ”

Ding Xiaosan turned his head and glanced at Zhang Ting when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "That woman is a young childhood sweetheart, a wife who has been engaged since childhood. I was going to get married today, but I didn't want to be met by my grandfather. Although the small ones had to work under the Japanese for their livelihood, they never harmed the people. Robbery is never done. ”

For Ding Xiaosan's obviously not true answer, Yang Zhen didn't speak, Zhang Ting, who was standing outside the door, stopped first, jumped in, and punched and kicked Ding Xiaosan who was piled on the ground, even scratching and scratching. The momentum was so great that Li Mingrui, who was standing beside Ding Xiaosan, couldn't pull it away.

It wasn't until she was tired that she pointed to the nose of Ding Xiaosan, who was like a blood gourd scratched by her, and said, "You bastard, who is your childhood sweetheart with you?" If you hadn't colluded with your shrewd aunt, my stepmother, I don't know what ecstasy soup I poured into my foolish dad and tied my aunt to a sedan chair. Just because you, a traitor who is willing to work for the devil, your aunt and grandmother will not follow you. ”

"And you have never violated the people? Do you deserve to say that? How many bad things have you done over the years with the power of the devil and your cousin who was the police commissioner in Acheng? Not to mention anything else, how many big girls and little daughters-in-law around here have been harmed by you? How many were ruined by the three devils you gave them. ”

Looking at Zhang Ting in a fit of rage, Yang Zhen waved his hand and motioned for Li Mingrui to take away Ding Xiaosan, who had been scratched by her, before frowning, "Who allowed you to come in?" Don't you see that I'm the interrogator? I am not blind to the truth of what he said, I can see it. Also, do you know what military secrets are? I'm arraigning prisoners, should you leave a little? ”

Yang Zhen, who was already a little dissatisfied with her standing at the door and eavesdropping on her own affairs openly, was really a little angry with this woman at the moment.

Although he didn't think that Ding Xiaosan was telling the truth at all. If a woman is willing to marry him, why should she be tied up in the cave room? There's clearly something else going on here. But Zhang Ting did this in front of herself, a little bit of this, this is too much to take herself.

Besides, Zhang Ting put on this shrewd appearance, looked at Ding Xiaosan's tragic situation, and remembered Ding Xiaosan's screams just now, no matter how calm Yang Zhen was, he couldn't help but have a little scalp explosion. This woman is too spicy, who will dare to marry in the future?

It's just that Yang Zhen's words were interrupted by Guo Bingxun, who was summoned by Yang Zhen: "Okay, old Yang, what are you angry with her little girl?" Dali, take this girl to dinner first. As for how to place her, I'll talk about it after eating. ”

Looking at Zhang Ting, who was unwilling and reluctant to be dragged away by Huang Dali, after placing the food in his hand on a table, Guo Bingxun smiled: "This woman is quite interesting. I didn't expect to find such a living treasure here, and it is also a good object to relieve fatigue. ”

Regarding Guo Bingxun's ridicule, Yang Zhen shook his head: "Old Guo, you, you've done this kung fu, you still have the leisure to watch jokes." ”

"Okay, let's get down to business. You just interrogated the police chief in there, how is it, do you have any useful information? Guo Bingxun finished joking, and the expression on his face changed to Yan Sù. He made such a joke, just hoping that Yang Zhen could relax and not think about things like hostility in his head.

Yang Zhen opened the map and pointed to the map and said, "I don't know much detailed information from this kid's mouth. He only knew that tomorrow morning, there would be two squadrons of devils, and one battalion of the puppet Manchu army infantry cavalry would arrive here. ”

"Obviously, their goal this time in the mountains is to go straight to us. Because according to his confession, the Japanese puppet army entered the mountains to clear and suppress it, and the devils were all in charge, and the puppet Manchu army was only responsible for the vigilance and blockade of the periphery. Once our people are captured, they are not allowed to be interrogated, and they must be handed over to the devils quickly. And the bounty for killing is higher than for capture. This is clearly directed at us. ”

"What he provided was only the situation of the Japanese puppet army from Harbin, and he did not know about other directions. However, I thought that if the devil wanted to completely destroy us, he would never transfer troops from Harbin alone. The Pearl River in the west, Wuchang and Shulan in the south, and even the Japanese puppet army in the Mudanjiang area will move here. ”

"Judging from this Ding Xiaosan's few confessions, the devil wants to destroy us and hurry up. Although the depth here is not as large as that of the road, the area is not small. They wouldn't have used just two squadrons to clear us in such a large mountain forest. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's finger drew along the Binsui line on the map: "For us, the most important thing in his confession is that the devil has carried out a strict blockade along the Binsui Railway at this time, that is, ordinary people who want to cross the north of the road are not allowed." ”

"This is only more than ten kilometers away from the Binsui Railway, and the Japanese puppet army can reach it as soon as they speak, so we must not stay here for too long. After a while, the brothers finished eating and immediately evacuated. Continue to retreat eastward. We must try to evacuate this place before the devils gather heavy troops. Brothers, don't be afraid to march and walk. The more we walk, the safer we become. ”

After listening to Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun nodded, and then said with some hesitation; "We evacuated to the point where we were able to say that just now when we were searching the iron mine, we rescued more than 400 laborers. Most of these laborers are frail and few can afford to travel long distances. How do we take them away? But stay, if the devils think that they have been in contact with us and are suspected of leaking secrets, will they be poisoned? ”

Guo Bingxun said that Yang Zhen didn't know how to deal with it for a while. It is impossible and unsafe to take away so many laborers. But Guo Bingxun is not wrong, if they are left behind, I am afraid that the fate that awaits them will not be too good.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen said: "Lao Guo, have you checked if these laborers are from?" What is their physical condition? What is the age status? ”

"Most of them are from Hebei, and a few are from Shandong. In addition to some of these people, many of them were caught. Lao Yang, you said that these people can be arrested to work as laborers, what will happen at this age? They are all young adults. ”

"These laborers work up to 12 to 14 hours a day, giving only one potato and a small bowl of sorghum rice per meal. If the quota is not met, the devils will not be fed, and they will be hungry. Hunger and cold, coupled with long hours of superphysical labor, most of these people were already extremely weak. ”

According to the workers, there were nearly 1,000 workers who were arrested at the end of last year, and it has only been half a year, and now only about 400 people remain. When these people mention the Japanese puppet army, they hate it to death. ”

Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, and then had an idea in his heart: "Lao Guo, what do you say we are most lacking now besides weapons, ammunition, and some materials?" ”

In response to Yang Zhen's question, Guo Bingxun replied without thinking: "Do you need to talk about this?" Qualified soldiers. We have to hold on to the Northeast for a long time, and the number of these remaining brothers is far from enough. If we want to expand our troops, we must have a large number of additional troops. ”

Guo Bingxun's voice fell, and Yang Zhen nodded and said, "That's right." These people are all young and middle-aged, and they hate the Japanese puppet army to death, do you think they will become our best supplementary source of soldiers? ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun already knew that he had made up his mind. He agreed with Yang Zhen's statement, but he was still a little worried: "You mean to take all these people away?" With their current physical condition, will they be able to hold on? Lao Yang, you should know that we don't know how many more we have to walk to get to the next place where we can rest. ”

"I don't think it's too much of a problem. The fact that these people can survive in such a harsh environment shows that their physical foundation is still good. The present weakness is nothing more than a result of chronic malnutrition, lack of food, and overwork. I think that as long as they have enough to eat for a while, they should be able to keep up with the pace of our march. ”

"Lao Guo, we only have two small bowls of sorghum rice a day in the devil's base, and the ration is not as much as theirs. Although they don't need to do a lot of labor, they are all men in the prime of life, how can this little thing fill their stomachs? But we have been marching and fighting since the middle of the night last year, and have not all these brothers persevered? I don't think these laborers, I don't have to work with them, they just march, and they should still be able to hold on. ”

"Besides, what if you don't take it away? Are we just watching them being killed by devils? Judging from the current form, the devil is a quick death for us. You're right, in order to keep their secret secrets, the devils will never care about the lives of these hundreds of laborers who are just talking tools in their eyes. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked at Guo Bingxun, who was still a little hesitant on his face, and waved his hand downward: "These laborers, as long as they are willing to go with us, they will all be taken away." However, don't be reluctant if you don't want to fight with us. We don't know what kind of difficulties we will encounter in the future, and those who are not determined do not. ”

"Okay, I'll let someone arrange it. However, Lao Yang still has a few things I have to tell you. We seized more than 1,000 catties of sorghum rice, more than 500 catties of rice, and five carts here. There was also a shipment of salt and other supplies. There are dozens of barrels of gasoline and kerosene alone. ”

"Oh, yes. There are also about 3,000 catties of explosives used by devils to open mines. I looked at it, and all of them were high-quality explosives made in Japan. In addition to these, we also seized a batch of batteries. With the battery, we will be able to use the radio captured from the devils to contact the big rear. But we don't have the ability to take all these materials away, so what do you think of the remaining materials? ”

"Tell the brothers to take as much as they can, but there is one thing, which must not affect the march and battle. Those that cannot be taken away are destroyed on the spot. Isn't there a mine in this mountain, throw it all into it, pour gasoline on it and burn it? We can't use it, and we can't leave it for the devils. By the way, take all the explosives with you. That's a good thing. ”

"By the way, Lao Guo, how much weapons and ammunition do we have now?" After making a decision, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered that he should count the weapons and ammunition. This has been fought two times in a row since last night, and how much ammunition is left on hand is a key question.

Guo Bingxun is a staff officer in the end, and he is very attentive, and Yang Zhen did not worry much about these things. Hearing Yang Zhen ask about the number of weapons and ammunition, he opened his mouth without thinking and said, "Now our weapons are enough." There were 320 rifles in total, including more than 80 pistols of the southern style, two fast and slow pistols, and 12 shell guns made in Fengtian. Eleven crooked machine guns. ”

"But after the battle between last night and today's day, although the weapons are still sufficient, there is not much ammunition left. Even with the 6,000 rounds of ammunition captured in the Battle of the Ash River, the rifle averaged less than 60 rounds each. The average machine gun was less than 200 rounds. As for the pistols, on average, there were less than 10 rounds each. ”

"However, Lao Yang, it was here that we seized seventeen Fengtian Liao 13 rifles, six shell guns, one light machine gun, and 1,000 rounds of ammunition from the puppet Manchurian police. In addition, we also seized 30 rifles, 1 machine gun and 10 shell guns, which were originally intended to be used by the devils to form the mine police team, with 30,000 rounds of ammunition. ”

"Originally, I wanted to ask what to do with this batch of weapons and ammunition that we can't take away, but since you decided to take all the laborers away, then you don't need to ask. If even half of these laborers decide to go with us, we won't have enough weapons at hand. ”

Hearing Guo Bingxun mention the laborers again, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Try to persuade these laborers to come with us." In any case, one more person will give us more strength, and one more seed that will allow the army to develop and grow in the future. As for the lack of weapons, we can take them from the devils and puppet armies. Talent is the most important thing. With people, one qiē is possible. ”

After talking about what should be discussed, Yang Zhen put down the bowl in his hand, stood up, walked to the window and looked at the mountains that were already dark outside, and was silent for a while before turning his head and saying: "Lao Guo, you sue Li Mingrui, and ask him to separate those pseudo-policemen and re-interrogate them separately to determine the authenticity of Ding Xiaosan's confession." After the decision is made, all these pseudo-police. Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's hand gestured around his neck.

"These pseudo-policemen are familiar with the terrain, and they collude with the devils to do evil, and they are determined to serve the devils. Once we let them go, let them lead the way for the devils, it will cause us a lot of trouble. Here, too, we can only rely on maps to march and fight. Compared to them who have been the head of the land for many years, we are too new to this place. ”

"One more point, I want to determine a yardstick for dealing with traitors in the future. From the First Sino-Japanese War to the present, you should know how much we have suffered from traitors. After the September 18 Incident that year, if there were not so many traitors who acted for the tiger and recognized the thief as their father, it would be impossible for the devil to occupy the entire northeast so quickly with the strength of a mere division. And in the future, we will have to face not only the extremely vicious devils, but also these traitors. ”

"We not only want to eliminate the devils, but also let those traitors who forget their ancestors and sell themselves for glory know what happened to them who betrayed their ancestors and their compatriots. Don't think that if they have the protection of devils, they can do evil. ”

"It's not that I don't report it, it's just that the time has not yet come. Sooner or later, someone will clean them up. Their fate will not be any better than that of their master, and it will even be worse. What we should do to traitors is not to kill one to make an example, but to make an example of a hundred. ”

Yang Zhen didn't expect that in terms of dealing with traitors, Guo Bingxun was no different from his thoughts. As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, Guo Bingxun nodded and said, "That's what I mean." To deal with these traitors who sell themselves for glory, the means are to be ruthless. I'll arrange it. ”

Just when Guo Bingxun stood up and was about to go out, Yang Zhen, who suddenly remembered something, called him again: "Tell the brothers to take off the emblems on the devil's military uniform, but don't lose it." We're about to enter the mountains, so don't have any misunderstandings with the Anti-Japanese Federation operating in this area. ”
