Chapter 104 Did You Lead the Eighth Route Army Here?
Two days later, the Zhongyi Hall of Heiyun Village.
There are "all kinds" of little bosses gathered here, and Xie Baoqing is sitting in the middle of the hall with a golden sword, flanked by the unhappy Shanmaozi and the calm Gao Jianwu.
Originally, this hall where bandits held meetings, drinks and parties was called Juyi Hall.
According to the words of the master back then, Juyi Hall is based on righteousness, and gathering is just a verb. The name was given to declare that the essence of Heiyun Village is that everyone relies on loyalty to stay together.
But Zhongyi Hall's reputation suddenly rose, which told everyone present that their cottage was mainly loyal to the country's justice. And although the word "Ju" has been removed, it does not affect the expression.
Xie Baoqing held a banquet here today. In addition to helping his two brothers resolve conflicts, he also wanted to announce a major event to his minions.
That is, starting from today, the strategic direction of Heiyun Village will completely change, from the former bandit hilltop to an armed organization that is about to be ordered by the Eighth Route Army.
After everyone arrived, the leader stood up and looked at everyone with a smile on his face and said:
"Brothers of Heiyun Village! From today on, we are the Eighth Route Army! Some people may ask me why I have to wrong myself, but what I want to say is that you should have a longer-term perspective in life."
"Although we have to abide by the rules on the Eighth Route Army, we can still rob! But we are robbing Japanese people! We are doing things "under orders", and we can say goodbye to the days of fear!"
"If any brother is unwilling to come with me, I can pay you a resettlement fee. After all, even if I become the Eighth Route Army, I will still be your eldest brother!"
I have to say that Xie Baoqing's speaking skills are still quite good. Although he has never read a book, he is very good at winning people's hearts.
These bandits, whose hands were stained with the blood of the common people, heard that their eldest brother was going to take the village to join the Eighth Route Army, but only a few of them were ready to go down the mountain out of fear.
The bandits who had taken the settlement money and were about to leave ran away with their tails between their legs amid the cheers and boos of the rest of the group.
The current scene makes Xie Baoqing very satisfied. Only one in ten people is unwilling to follow him. This number is much better than expected.
The bandit leader waved, and a few cronies walked in carrying something that looked like a plaque.
Under the expectant eyes of the minions, Xie Baoqing lifted the red cloth on the plaque. The big characters above are the First Independent Brigade of the Independent Regiment.
"Have you seen this sign? I will ask the brothers to hang it on the mountain gate in a moment! Let Political Commissar Li see our sincerity."
"By the way, let me emphasize one more thing! From now on, the title of brothers must be changed to comrades!"
"If anyone lets me find him barking, I'll take him out and feed him to the dogs!"
Seeing Xie Baoqing scolding Fang Qiu, Gao Jianwu felt like he was about to have a split personality. If this was in a safe place, he would have laughed heartily.
But now that I am inside the enemy, I can only keep telling myself in my heart. People who have received professional training will not laugh out loud, and they must endure it even if they can't help it.
Feeling that the atmosphere was about the same now, Gao Jianwu stood up from his seat.
He pushed his arms forward so that they were parallel to the ground, spread the fingers of his hands and rotated 180 degrees using the force of his wrists, perfectly replicating Lao Xing's signature movement, signaling to the brothers to keep quiet.
When everyone's eyes were focused on Gao Jianwu, he picked up a bowl of wine and said to everyone:
"Comrades should know that there was some unpleasantness between me and my second brother a few days ago, which destroyed everyone's unity. I'm here to give you a bowl and make amends for everyone."
Then Gao Jianwu picked up another bowl of wine and looked at Shanmaozi. At Xie Baoqing's signal, the other party also picked up the bowl and stood up.
"Second brother! What happened that day was my fault. From now on, we will be the Eighth Route Army. We cannot let outsiders see our jokes after we join the new forces."
"I, my brother, will keep you company today, I, Gao Jianwu, swear! After today, if you have any conflicts with me, I will chop off two of my fingers to apologize to you."
Looking at the man in front of him who exuded the aura of a bastard, Shan Maozi, who had no education, intuitively felt that his whole body was ignited with passion. He even forgot that he should drink the bowl of wine first.
"My brother is out of touch when he says this. There is something wrong with me as a brother, so I will drink this bowl of wine first!"
Xie Baoqing looked at the two "brothers" who were brothers and sisters, and he also stood up with a drink in his hand. Today is a double happiness, which makes it almost impossible for the boss who used to have to take care of himself to maintain his personality.
The boss drank the wine in the glass in one breath and slammed the bowl to the ground.
"Comrades! I won't stop until I get drunk today! No one can go back standing!"
The atmosphere of the party reached a climax in an instant. Everyone present, regardless of seniority, was looking for someone to share a drink with. Gao Jianwu became the target of the fire, with people surrounding him three times inside and three times outside.
The third master, who had only joined for a few months, had gained the loyalty of all the minions from this moment on.
——————————————
At half past ten that night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
It seemed like there had just been a big battle near the Zhongyi Hall in Heiyun Village. "Bodies" can be seen everywhere here, and the whole place is filled with the fishy smell of vomit.
Gao Jianwu slowly got up from the ground. He looked at the drunken bandits around him and smiled with satisfaction. He took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and opened the pack without any mark.
Then he picked up some relatively clean food from the table and brought these things to the mountain gate of Heiyun Village. There were still a dozen guards there, the last guard here.
The bandits who were still on duty showed gratitude when they saw Gao Jianwu coming to visit with food. If they were NPCs in the game, their favorability would definitely be +1 like a screen-sweeping screen.
"Comrades, you have worked hard. I brought you some midnight snacks. Although you can't drink, eat something."
He distributed the food in his hand to the bandits present one by one, and gave a cigarette to each smoker. The Japanese's cigarettes were something that these dry-pipe smoking thugs might not even have during the Chinese New Year.
These days, there is not even a cigarette butt, and there is no chance to pick it up.
After only five minutes, all these minions fell to the ground. Especially those who smoked, they looked like dead pigs.
As we all know, nothing handed over by the agent chief can be trusted. In order to treat every "brother" well, there are knockout drugs in both cigarettes and food.
As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. These knockout drugs are privately kept by Shanmaozi, and only the victims know how effective they are.
Gao Jianwu, who was as steady as an old dog, pulled out the dagger from his waist, covered the mouths of the bandits and cut their throats one by one, and blood soon covered the ground.
After doing all this, the agent chief patted his hands, wiped his dagger with the clothes of the dead, and then came to the mountain gate of Heiyun Village.
Gao Jianwu, who had not encountered any problems since the first day of undercover, was a little bit upset at this time.
This gate has become extremely heavy after many reinforcements. Even if there is nothing behind the door, it usually takes three people to barely open it.
Even he has no way to do it. It's like a weasel biting a turtle. What's more, he drank a lot of wine today. In the end, Gao Jianwu used all his strength and only managed to open the door a little.
After doing all this, he collapsed behind the door. Just as he was about to rest, he suddenly heard a rustling sound.
The agent chief, who has been on the line of life and death for many years, knew at the first time that someone was coming, and there were quite a few.
For Lian Lishan, the captain of the independent regiment's commando team, today's operation went smoothly like a dream.
When the two hundred of them first arrived at Heiyun Village, they could still see a dozen patrolling bandits on the wall. But before they could discuss countermeasures, those people disappeared all of a sudden.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, no one showed up. Combined with what the regiment leader said, they guessed that it should be the insider who made a move.
Just as everyone was about to act according to the original plan, a soldier suddenly heard someone talking. Because the voice was a little low, he thought it was a comrade-in-arms.
But after looking around for a week, he still couldn't find the source of the sound, so he immediately reported the matter to Lian Lishan who was about to climb the wall.
Everyone followed the sound carefully and found a hand stretched out from the door of the mountain stronghold.
"Are you a comrade from the independent regiment? Give me a hand, I'm trapped!"
After the soldiers carefully pushed the door open, they saw a man who was a little sloppy and drunk. The other party reluctantly saluted and said:
"I am Gao Jianwu from the intelligence department of the 386th Brigade. Now all the bandits in the Black Cloud Village are drunk."
"But I suggest that you send a few people to guard the back mountain. Based on my understanding of Xie Baoqing, he may escape from the back mountain."
Lian Lishan returned a military salute and sent a squad of soldiers to the back mountain to intercept according to the other party's instructions.
The soldiers followed Gao Jianwu and moved quietly towards the Loyalty Hall, but at this time a minion woke up and was about to go to the toilet and ran into them head-on.
Seeing that the man was fully armed and wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, the bandit immediately shouted and issued a warning to the brothers who were like dead pigs.
Lian Lishan immediately ordered a strong attack upon seeing this. After killing the short-lived ghost with one shot, the soldiers collectively launched a charge. The distance of more than 200 meters passed in a flash, and even if the bandits found themselves being ambushed, they could not react.
And because they came to attend the banquet today, most of them did not carry weapons. The effect of this sporadic resistance was very limited, and only one soldier was hit in the thigh.
Soon all the bandits present were captured, and they squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands like frost-bitten eggplants. Until now, many people have not reacted to what happened and don’t understand why they were beaten by friendly forces.
Poor Xie Baoqing was still immersed in beautiful fantasies the previous second, and fell back to the tragic reality the next second.
Seeing the familiar faces in the Eighth Route Army, he rushed over like crazy, but was soon knocked to the ground by two soldiers.
"You traitor! How dare you betray me! Did you lead the Eighth Route Army here?"
Gao Jianwu was originally a little embarrassed because of his arm caught in the door.
But after hearing Xie Baoqing's voice, he straightened his silk shirt and adjusted his hat that he got from nowhere.
Then he walked out of the crowd with a cigarette in his mouth. He didn't look like a good guy at all.
"It's me!"
Captain, don't shoot!
