Chapter 1565: Kameda Chuangzi!

"It's too blurry to see clearly..."

The two of them flashed by!

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, Hu Shaoguang mentioned the history of the anti-Japanese war on this land, and everyone was fascinated!

"I remember there was a Chiba Colonization Office to the north of you. There were many Japanese expatriates living there. Whenever the Japanese expeditionary force passed by, they would stop by to rest. So we found a few people who could speak Japanese, put on the Japanese uniforms we had seized, sneaked in, and destroyed several of their observation posts at night. We seized more than 30 rifles, more than 2,000 rounds of bullets, as well as food and cloth... We replenished a lot of supplies for the troops!"

"There is such a place, but now it's a labor camp!"

Sun Jianping didn't know whether what the old man said was true or not, but it sounded like he was very familiar with the Nahe area. So according to this reasoning, he couldn't be unaware of the name of Erhu Mountain!
As for what Mr. Chen said about joining the main force, that Staff Officer Hu made things difficult for them many times, and finally used someone else's hands to get rid of their gang. This shouldn't have happened!

Could it be that the real Staff Officer Hu is someone else?

The past is complicated and confusing, like a thin layer of mist, making it difficult to grasp the truth of the matter.

The meal lasted until after five in the afternoon. Finally, everyone was full and got up to say goodbye. Sun Jianping asked Yu Hongbin to put the bill on the entertainment expenses and pay in cash.

Mr. Hu was too old to stay up late, so he was sent to the guesthouse to rest. Sun Jianping had forgotten to ride his horse, and was just trying to find a way to go home when he saw Lao Cao and Mr. Chen Detai hurried over.

"Uncle, let's go into my office and talk!"

Sun Jianping waved at the two of them, and the three of them entered the office and closed the doors and windows. Lao Cao spoke first, "Why don't I feel like it?"

"What's the resemblance? You haven't seen him before!" Chen Detai frowned, and Lao Cao rolled his eyes. "That's true. I haven't seen him in person, but from what he said, it seems that he was in the team before... Hu Shaoguang, I don't remember this person."

"Who dared to use their real name in those days? If the Japanese found out, they would definitely execute his entire family!" Old Man Chen took the water cup handed to him by Sun Jianping, "Hu Shaoguang, I just don't know what name this person used before."

"Actually, this is easy to handle. Think about it. Since he can become a staff officer, he must have some education. There were very few people with education in that era. And from what I heard, he seemed to have always been by the leaders' side..."

"Well, Jianping's idea is correct. Let's use the process of elimination to eliminate some irrelevant people or information..."

The three of them sat in the room, unraveling the past and racking their brains to recall what had happened. Only then did Sun Jianping gain a deeper understanding of that period of history. The so-called Erhu Mountain was originally just a small gang of seven or eight people. After the Japanese slaughtered Mr. Li Dashan's family, his family's long-term workers, led by Lao Cao, entered Erhu Mountain and seized the position of village leader.

It happened that at this time Uncle Zhang committed a crime in Hecheng and killed the cook and several waiters of Juxianlou. He fled back home and wanted to seek refuge from Mr. Li, but he never expected that Mr. Li's house had been burned to the ground. He had no choice but to join Erhu Mountain and become a bandit.

As for the chief manager Chen Detai, he went up the mountain later, and his real identity was that he was sent by the organization to unite the mountain team to fight the Japanese!

Chen Detai was younger than Lao Zhang at the time, but he was well-educated, a top student who graduated from Northeastern University. He knew astronomy and geography, and was well-versed in military books. He had all kinds of clever strategies when fighting a war, and it didn't take long for his gang to become famous among the bandits. Whoever heard the name of Erhushan would give them a thumbs up and say it was decent!
Lao Cao was also generous. Seeing that Lao Cao was a man of both civil and military talents and much stronger than himself, he directly gave him the position of chief manager and handed over the team of three or four hundred people to him for full command, while he only assisted from the side.

Sun Jianping suddenly remembered that when he first met Aunt Cui, she called Uncle Cao "Da Hengba". He was very puzzled at the time. Da Hengba should be the one sitting in the top seat, so why did a big shopkeeper suddenly appear?

Now I finally understand!
After all the fuss, it was Uncle Cao who took the initiative to give up the throne. Friends in the underworld respected Uncle Cao for his magnanimity and the spirit of the ancient sages, and still called him "Da Hengba"!

"He also said that he attacked the Chiba Colonization Association in the north one year and seized a lot of guns and ammunition..."

After listening to what Sun Jianping said, the two old men frowned. Apart from us, no one else would flirt with the Chiba Reclamation Bureau?
"There are only two possibilities. First, he might be from our gang, or from Fengzhu's group, and later changed his name... Second, he heard these things from other people, and took them as his own achievements..."

"Is this possible?" "Why not? The old leaders in the original team were either dead or injured, and there are only a few left. He can make up stories and take all the credit for himself as a capital for promotion... Anyway, there is no way to verify it..."

Although Chen Detai is old, his thinking is still very clear and logical.

"Let's go home and ask Lao Zhang's wife. She was at the Qianye Reclamation Center at the time. She should be able to give us some clues!"

Lao Cao suddenly thought of someone, Zhang Qi!

"Well, I'll go back with you!"

"Then let's go quickly. Jianping, do you think there are any more cars?"

"The county jeep is taking County Magistrate Lai and his men to Hecheng Railway Station. Let's go to the roadside and flag down a car!"

It was past six in the afternoon and it was already dark. The regular buses at the bus station had stopped running long ago. Sun Jianping and two others waited on the roadside for a long time before they stopped a horse-drawn carriage heading north and headed home in the dark.

"It's really a lot of effort. Let's drive the three-wheeled motorcycle from the pig farm to the county town tomorrow so that it will be more convenient to go out!"

"If all else fails, bring the Azuki tanks over here. The six tanks have been sitting in the warehouse rusting!"

"Not so good. Since I formed a farming team, I have no use for that little thing. I thought about selling it to the forest farm to transport wood, but the forest farm is reluctant to pay for it..."

Lao Cao gets angry when this matter is mentioned!
Director Su's old man is also a guy who never gets enough of taking advantage of others!

The carriage dropped them off at Taipingshan Brigade, and the three had to walk home in the dark.

The moon climbed up the hillside. With the help of the soft moonlight, Lao Cao glanced at the two dark hilltops behind Ermajia and Yuweizi, which looked like two swords piercing the clouds, and sighed softly!
"Don't you remember Lao Chen? It was around this time that year. We went to smash the kiln at dusk..."

"Probably in 1938!"

Chen Detai's thoughts were also drawn back to more than fifty years ago, when they were both young and full of vigor and vitality!

"That old traitor leader is a real beast. He relied on his son being an official in Xinjing to bully men and women and run rampant in the countryside. He even found several women to give him milk every day. He said that Empress Dowager Cixi did this..."

"Yes, I remember that family's surname was Liu, and his son was called Liu Chuang. Later, he seemed to have given himself a Japanese name, something like Kameda Chuangzi..."

"Don't mention this, I almost died of laughter, there is no good person with this name..."

"correct!"

Lao Cao stamped his feet and said, "Jianping, do you remember those big bowls you bought from the black market in Hecheng that year?"

"Remember, uncle, what's wrong?"
