In order to solve the problem of supply, Bai Shujie was forced to pull out the original backbone, and all the recruit training was handed over to the big brother Zhang Xiang. Zhang Xiang's characteristics are not outstanding, and he usually doesn't have much to say. But he has the best patience and is able to be "bitter" with anyone.

Of course, he also has times when he is angry, for example, if you can't complete the training task, Zhao Xiang's old face will collapse, and it will be enough for you to drink a pot. He doesn't scold you, let alone beat you, he just reasoned with you. Once he takes out the big brother style, starting from "I think about the beginning, I was back then", you can talk from morning to night, so that you will automatically surrender.

Bai Shujie often talked to his brothers: "The biggest baby in our team is Zhang Xiang's big brother." Without him supporting us in the back, we wouldn't be where we are today. You can be like a demon dog, Big Brother's hard work is in it. You can scold me, but who dares to be disrespectful to Big Brother Zhang Xiang, be careful that Lao Tzu turns his face and doesn't recognize people! ”

Because of Zhang Xiang's comprehensive Zhang Luo, on any peaceful day, Bai Shujie slowly became a shopkeeper, staring at the map hanging on the stone wall in a daze all day long.

The time entered the beginning of September, and it was the busy season for agriculture in the land of South Manchuria. After more than two months of continuous travel, the six teams that procured supplies finally raised hundreds of people to deal with two years of grain and salt.

Zhang Xiang has not been idle in the past two months, in addition to formal military training, that is, to expand the secret camp with new recruits. Because the original cave was halfway up the mountain, it was inconvenient many times, so after research, Zhang Xiang led the new soldiers to dig a new cave at the foot of the mountain.

Bai Shujie personally drew a sketch of the excavation plan, requiring that it be conducive to defense and retreat. As a result, this underground labyrinth has become one in, three out, and four holes. One of the holes is hidden in the middle of a cliff, and six ropes are usually prepared for backup. In the event of an emergency, these ropes can be used to escape.

Coal miners dig caves, and they are all proficient, and the task has been completed in three months. Everyone usually moves halfway up the mountain, so the outside world can't see it. But the reserves are all in the cave at the foot of the mountain. The bullets and wooden-handled grenades that were originally stored in the Baiyunding Cave have all been moved, and half of the sixty boxes of canned food have been transferred. Baiyunding only left thirty boxes of canned food in case of emergency.

The three-dimensional defense jihua conceived by Bai Shujie has also basically taken shape, and the core position is the crooked machine gun originally equipped for the cooking class. It had now become a machine gun on duty in the secret camp, in a bunker in the middle of the only way into the cave. This bunker was not built out, but dug out, and two people were on duty 24 hours a day.

There is food in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart.

Bai Shujie saw the grain in storage, and his mood finally improved. It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and it's only been three days since he was happy, and a piece of news that made him thunderous suddenly came!

That night, Liu Zhiliang came back from outside reconnaissance, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was pale. brought Bai Shujie a piece of news, which almost made him faint!

It turned out that Liu Zhiliang had always had a soft spot for Biling Town. On the one hand, Bai Shujie let the original eight brothers eat and live in the inn for half a month, not only to take care of their bodies, but also to get into trouble together, so that today's situation is today. On the other hand, at the time of the first temporary station, all his things were brought back from the town of Ridge.

Because of this, whenever there is a chance, Liu Zhiliang will go to Biaoling Town to see the owner of the inn and tailor shop. It has never been interrupted for more than a year, and the villagers in Biling Town also like this young man very much. Although I don't know what Liu Zhiliang does, everyone is willing to get close to him and tell him any news.

Last night, when Liu Zhiliang returned from the direction of Xintun, he made a detour to Biling Town again, and found that more than 20 households in the town were hanging filial piety in front of their doors, and there was a lot of mourning! When he found the innkeeper and inquired, Liu Zhiliang almost blew up his lungs!

It turned out that the owner of the tailor shop had a son and a daughter. The fifteen-year-old son studied in Mukden, and the thirteen-year-old daughter usually worked at home. Counting up, the tailor shop family of four is still at the middle and upper reaches of the level in Bianling Town, and the small life is still passable.

What's bad is that the eldest son was arrested as a laborer on his way home from summer vacation today! However, after all, he has been studying for many years and has a lot of eyes. Six days ago, he escaped in the middle of the night and returned home. When the old couple heard that the arrested laborers had sneaked out again, they knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly hid their son in a small cave in the back mountain.

Unexpectedly, the afternoon before yesterday, fifteen black-clothed people suddenly came to Bianling Town, and directly broke into the tailor shop to arrest people. Since the shopkeeper's son was not found, the bastards had to take the old tailor away to make up the number. While the two sides were tugging, the thirteen-year-old daughter rushed out to reason with these men in black.

This time not only did not help, but caused a catastrophe!

Fifteen mongrels tied the old couple at the gate, and then dragged the little girl to the street and stripped them naked, and they actually died in public!

The half-grown boy who was hiding in the back mountain heard his sister's cry tearing his liver and lungs, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran home from the cave, and fought hard with a hoe and fifteen brutes, but was shot to death! The old tailor and his wife had already committed suicide by biting their tongues when their daughter was murdered.

In this way, a family of four who are loyal and generous was wiped out!

Smack!

Bai Shujie was so angry that he smashed a big hole in the long table with one palm. Then he roared, "Who are those bastards?" Where did they come from? ”

"Big brother, don't worry, the origin of those beasts has been investigated!" Liu Zhiliang gasped fiercely, and then said: "They are all the subordinates of the big boss Cui Futing, and they are currently repairing the railway on the front line of Niuxintai. Speaking of this Cui Futing, it was not man-made! ”

It turned out that Cui Futing, the big boss, made his fortune by exploiting the contractor. He turned out to be just a contractor team to keep work and manage the accounts, and then relied on the Japanese Kamiya Senjiro to set up the Yihexiang cabinet, and through bribery, he contracted from the Japanese emperor the mining areas of Fushun and Anshan along the South Manchurian line, and built railways, bridges, highways and other civil engineering projects.

There are more than 10,000 workers at the most in the large cabinet of Yihexiang, and Cui Futing subcontracts the project layer by layer to medium and small leaders, and each small leader generally has 20 workers. When the small head goes to the Yihexiang cabinet to settle, one layer of the total salary must be taken out to Cui Futing. In less than three years, Cui Futing never became a penny, and his assets suddenly reached 2 million silver oceans at that time.

Cui Futing eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and the little bosses at all levels under him are even more like each other, all of them are inhumane miscellaneous pieces! He got the right to mine a coal mine from the Japanese, and then subcontracted it to a small boss named Lu Qixiang.

Lu Qixiang's contracted work was to pay the four corners for every cubic meter of coal planed, and the money he paid to the miners was nine cents for every carload of coal planed. Not to mention, Lu Qixiang always has a variety of celebrations every month, and the workers must follow them. It's useless if you don't follow it, he has already deducted it from your salary!

A strong laborer is said to earn a piece of five dimes a day, and about forty-five yuan a month, but in fact it is far from the case! I can get less than one-tenth of one or twenty yuan a year, and I still owe it. More than half of the laborers could only make ends meet, and the rest of the laborers worked hard for a year, but the result was not enough to offset the food expenses and owed Lu Qixiang the food money!

Therefore, if you find that you have been deceived, or that you have been forcibly arrested, you will find out how to escape. To this end, Lu Qixiang raised fifty or sixty thugs to deal with the fleeing laborers. According to villagers familiar with the situation, Lu Qixiang once executed 97 laborers in public on the banks of the Taizi River on the charge of gathering a crowd to make trouble!

The fifteen miscellaneous pieces that appeared this time were Lu Qixiang's subordinates, who specialized in railway construction and maintenance, and another small leader, called Qiu Wancai!

According to Liu Zhiliang's reconnaissance of crossing the river, Lu Qixiang and Qiu Wancai are now in charge of repairing the railway in the Niuxintai area, and there are more than 130 laborers under their command. But there are more than 50 thugs raised by Qiu Wancai!

"Alright, alright!" Bai Shujie laughed angrily: "These damn mongrels are really impatient, they dare to do anything wrong around Lao Tzu!" Shi Liancheng, inform the brothers above the deputy squad leader, and immediately give Lao Tzu a meeting! ”

There are only two contents of the meeting, the first is to listen to Liu Zhiliang's briefing, and before Liu Zhiliang can finish speaking, the whole cave has turned upside down!

It was the first time Zhao Jinxi had participated in a formal combat meeting, and it was also the first time he had heard of such an ancient tragedy! For a while, she was furious, and immediately pulled out her two guns and slapped them on the conference table: "What are you old men still grinding here, why don't you kill them quickly!" ”

"Big girl, sit down!" Although Zhang Xiang was so angry, he was still able to hold his head: "Since the captain convened a meeting, there is naturally a charter." Cui Futing didn't say it for the time being, there were more than fifty people under that Qiu Wancai. You need to sum it up well, and you can't act hastily. ”

"Brothers, be quiet!" Bai Shujie pointed to the map and said: "If we want to get to Niuxintai on time, the biggest problem we face is a Taizi River!" The retreat route is also very difficult, because we must capture the culprit alive this time! ”

"So I ordered: Zhang Xiang led a squad and a communications squad to rush to the front line of Sanjiatai in the southeast of Biling Town within three days. Your main task is to cross the river in anticipation of our retreat. This is the most important thing, and there must be no mistakes! ”

Duan Zhixian and Liu Zhiliang's third class, after the meeting, took all the equipment and set off immediately, and the goal was Zheng Jiaji. On the one hand, he made a forward stop, and on the other hand, he looked for a place to cross the river, and raised two boats for backup. Cheng Shijie and Zhou Dayong's second squad and machine gun squad followed me. The cooking squad is in charge of the defense of the secret camp, but now it is necessary to immediately prepare three days' worth of dry food! Break up and prepare separately! ”

Bai Shujie knew that this time was different from the past, the previous times were ambushes, and this was the first frontal attack of a small army. In addition, a few new fighters have been added, and I don't know how well the coordination of the battle will be. Anger is anger, anger is anger. Once they are engaged in combat, commanders at all levels must be cool-headed.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
