Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 102 Chapter 101, Aunt Xu

The people of Xiahe Village were quickly pacified, and Xu Da-Nao who had been hung up and beaten was rescued. Miss Xu also walked out of the ancestral hall with a wronged look on her face, covering her torn clothes.

"Fellow villagers, our guerrillas are back. You can speak out any grievances you have! Also, are there any puppet troops left out in our village? Who informed this Kong Laosan? I hope everyone can point it out so we can deal with it! Fellow villagers, don't be afraid, we will always stand on the side of the people..." After Zhao Danian finished speaking, he looked at the people.

"Captain Zhao, don't ask anymore. You know all the villagers present here. None of them is a bad guy. Only the Kong family is bad!" said an old man.

"Yes, Captain Zhao, this Kong Laosan arrived a little earlier than you. He brought people with him and forced us to return our things at the ancestral hall with guns. Then, you came!"

"Captain Zhao, luckily you guys came quickly. Judging from the situation today, this Kong guy wants to kill people to establish his authority!"

Zhao Danian was relieved to hear the people's words that they had survived a disaster. Fortunately, he arrived in time, and the people in this village did not suffer too much disaster.

"Since everyone is fine, let's go home! Don't worry, our Eighth Route Army will not ignore you!" When Zhao Danian saw that nothing was wrong, he asked everyone to go home and the rest of the matter could be discussed later.

At this time, outside the village, Xing Weiguo had already led his men to set up a cordon and set up sentries at the location where the devils came back. No one could tell whether this was a small force sent by the devils to harass or a simple bully returning to oppress the people.

The common people left the ancestral hall one after another and went home. Only Xu Da Nao's family stayed behind. It seemed that they had something to say.

Seeing that there was no threat anymore, Li Yuexuan directed everyone to first search the weapons and ammunition on the killed puppet soldiers and then search their bodies.

There were 35 puppet soldiers in total, and with Kong Laosan, there were 36. Among these people, Li Yuexuan killed 14 of them, including Kong Laosan. It stands to reason that no matter how poor the puppet soldiers' combat effectiveness was, they would not last more than 10 seconds, right? After all, there were only 30 puppet soldiers, and the guerrillas who rushed into the yard only had 9 people. Their combat effectiveness should not be so different, right?
But when the weapons were collected, Li Yuexuan understood! There were only 36 rifles of various types, 15 red tassel guns, 15 Czech machine guns, and the speed machine gun used by Kong Laosan for 2 puppet soldiers. Well, okay, Li Yuexuan admitted that when he attacked the puppet soldiers, he judged them by their uniforms. He really didn't care whether they were holding rifles, red tassel guns, or wooden sticks, and he just attacked them.

"Damn, these puppet soldiers are so poor! These guns are broken, they can only scare people!" Huyan Long was holding a Hanyang-made long rifle in his hand, his face full of helplessness.

"These two Czech-style guns are still okay, in good condition, about 100% new! But there are not many bullets, only 1 rounds in total. Also, I saw that the safety of these two bolts are not on, and there are no bullets in the magazines. I feel that these two machine gunners probably don't know how to use machine guns, they are just here to scare people!" Lai Fu, a machine gunner in the st squad, made his own judgment.

"It's not that scary. Look at the quality of the guns these puppet soldiers are using... Wow? There's even a Ma Sihuan rifle! The quality, workmanship, and bullets are really good!" Hu Lanzhou held a Ma Sihuan rifle in his hand, but pointed at the puppet soldiers lying at the door of the ancestral hall and said, "In my opinion, these are the trusted men of Kong Laosan. The rest were just temporary recruits!"

"Old Hu is very experienced, right? Tell me, how did you make that judgment?" Li Yuexuan was looting things from Kong Lao San at this time, and looked up and asked. "It is obvious that these people are horsemen, who are closest to Kong Lao San and have the best weapons. This is the treatment that Kong Lao San's trusted subordinates have. For example, during the Ming Dynasty, the officers of the border army who were best equipped and paid the most were their own private soldiers, who were paid by themselves to protect themselves."

"And those bandits who led the gangs, who didn't have a few sworn brothers at the beginning? In a gang, the ones who eat the best food and drink the best drinks and have the best weapons are those sworn brothers, the ones who will really fight at the critical moment! And in our Northeast Army it's the same, those with the best equipment are the confidants of the superiors!" Hu Lanzhou was born in the Northeast Army and has a lot of life experience.

"Well, I understand this! In the Tang Dynasty, this was called buqu! Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and others led troops to fight, and they all brought their buqu with them. When the war broke out, the buqu surrounded the commander and protected him! When they returned home, the buqu lived with their master. If the master rebelled, the buqu followed, and if the whole family was executed, the buqu had to follow..." Lai Fu said.

"All of you shut up!" Zhao Danian shouted, "We, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, don't talk about these things! We always follow the principle of whoever has the ability will do it! To use the words of Captain Li: Those who have the ability drink and eat, while those who don't have the ability just watch! If you don't have any ability, you can't blame others!"

"Yes...Captain!" Everyone answered in unison, and then you looked at me and I looked at you, with a smile on our faces.

"Captain, what should we do with these seized weapons? Should we take them away or something?" Li Yuexuan asked a practical question.

"Well... our weapons are enough for now... let's take them all away. We can use the new ones and give the poor ones to the militiamen! Xiao Li, what do you think of that box gun?" Zhao Danian asked, pointing at the box gun in Li Yuexuan's hand.

"It's in very good condition, even newer than mine, and it seems like it hasn't been fired with many bullets! And there are quite a few bullets, this bag is full of bullets! I think this guy probably bought it newly! He bought it directly according to the standard of one gun carrying 500 rounds of bullets, I just don't know how much money he spent on it?" Li Yuexuan said.

"Wow! What a great gun!" Zhao Danian was surprised, and then said, "Keep this for me. I just replaced my old gun with Comrade Wang Zixian. He lost half of his arm, so a box gun would be the best! To be honest, that damn box gun is not suitable for him at all, a box gun is the best!"

"Comrades, send the seized guns to the transport squad first, and then come back to strip these puppet soldiers of their clothes! The material of these clothes is good, but they look ugly on them! By the way, Xiao Li, come here when you are done!" Zhao Danian said.

"Okay, I've finished searching here. Here are the things I found. I'll put them separately later!" Li Yuexuan put the things he found from Kong Laosan on the ground, then walked out of the ancestral hall.

"Aunt Xu, the third son of the Li family whom you are looking for has come out. Just ask whatever you want to ask." Seeing Li Yuexuan coming out, Zhao Danian said to Xu Danao's mother.
