Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 374 Chapter 373, People can't stand firm without being ruthless
"If you kill one of my civilians, I will chop off two of your heads. This is the proof!" Li Yuexuan said fiercely.

"Will this be too irritating to the Japanese? After all, we can't protect the people all the time." Zheng Changfeng was a little worried.

"If we don't provoke the Japanese, will they not massacre the civilians? How did the civilians hanging on the tree over there come from? Weakness cannot bring peace. Only the use of force can intimidate the Japanese and make them dare not to act ruthlessly! It's a pity that we don't have a chance to capture some of the Japanese expatriates. If we catch them, we must repay them with blood!" Li Yuexuan said fiercely.

"Ahem, there are some things we can do, but don't say it out loud..." Zheng Changfeng nodded at Li Yuexuan and changed the subject: "Should we return as a group, or leave some people here?"

"You guys stay here and help the comrades in the single company. Don't let the Japanese rush out of the city and suffer! Tianchuan, take the rest of the special forces and follow me. The special service team will follow!" Li Yuexuan left without hesitation. At his side, Tianchuan led the special forces team's first and second squads and the special service team to form a triangular assault formation, tightly guarding Li Yuexuan in the middle.

The distance from Xiyang County back to the ambush site is about 5 kilometers, just the distance of an ordinary armed cross-country race. Although the special forces soldiers have run too much today, they still maintain good physical fitness and ran back to the ambush point in the Songxi River Valley in just 25 minutes.

However, from a distance, hundreds of civilians were seen, surrounded by the buzzing of flies, gathering around the corpses of the Japanese soldiers placed by the river and near the trucks, seemingly busy with something.

"Okay, let's stop and eat some combat rations to restore our strength! Tianchuan, send a group over to ask, what are the people doing surrounding those devils?" Li Yuexuan stopped the team from a distance.

"Yes, Captain!" Tianchuan answered naturally, and then asked a three-person team to go up to the people and inquire about the situation.

Well, actually, the matter is not complicated, the people are just here to take advantage. Didn't some young and strong people from nearby villages help transport the spoils this morning? The people knew that a group of devils were defeated here. And because of the needs of the battle, these devils were only hastily looted of some floating property and guns and ammunition, and the supplies on the truck were sent away.

Naturally, there were some things left behind that the Eighth Route Army disliked or were inconvenient to take away, but the people were very interested in. Apart from other things, the people liked the uniforms worn by the Japanese soldiers. Such thick fabrics could be washed and dyed in other colors, and they would become new clothes.

There was also the Japanese loincloth, a long piece of white cloth. As long as the Japanese were not incontinent when they died, they could be stripped off and washed to make things. Then there were the Japanese helmets, military boots, gloves, and white towels wrapped around their bodies. These things were so expensive that they could not be taken away, so the people could naturally take them for their own use.

In addition, there were trucks parked on the road. Because they did not want to attract the attention of the Japanese in the city, they were not burned and were left on the road. These trucks also became a good place for the people to plunder supplies. Trucks are so big, if you remove some iron plates and modify them, maybe you can make a hoe? And tires, can the outer tires be used as soles and the inner tires be used as slingshots?
Don't doubt the people's vision, and don't doubt the people's desire for these items. People in the 80s may not have much impression, but people before that will understand what extreme scarcity of materials means! The era when urea pants could be called cadre pants would not happen until more than 30 years later.

So, when Li Yuexuan and his team threw it back from a distance, what they saw was the scene of the people looting supplies here. Well, there is a name called "picking up foreign goods", which is probably what it means. The people seemed to be organized. After the special forces soldiers asked about the situation, they naturally stopped the work at hand, but refused to give up the things in their hands. When they looked at Li Yuexuan and his team, their eyes showed awe, closeness, reluctance, heartache, and some small thoughts of not wanting to give up the supplies in their hands.

"Hey, fellow villagers, don't be afraid. Take these things away if you want them. The Eighth Route Army doesn't need them!" Li Yuexuan first reassured everyone, and then said: "However, everyone still needs to do us a favor. That is, we will chop off the heads of these devils and take them away. As for the rest, you can just find a random place to bury them!"

"These are all genuine Japanese soldiers, pure-blooded Japanese devils. If anyone's family has been harmed by the devils and wants to pay tribute to their ancestors, then you can take them back and place them on the graves of your ancestors as offerings! All right, comrades, come and chop off their heads. I'm going to go see what's happened to the car!"

Soon, special forces came to the people with machetes, and chopped 263 Japanese heads in front of the people. Not long after, Li Yuexuan and his men put together three drivable trucks, loaded the special forces and the trucks full of Japanese heads, and left the valley with a rumble.

After Li Yuexuan and the others completely disappeared from everyone's sight, some of the people who were standing there in surprise finally reacted.

"My ancestors! The Eighth Route Army looked friendly and spoke kindly, but they were really cruel! I saw it with my own eyes, those comrades didn't even blink when they attacked!"

"Be a little more ruthless, be a little more ruthless! If you're not ruthless, how can you fight to the death with the damn Japs? You didn't notice that each of them is filled with murderous intent. That's what they learned from killing the Japs!"

"Yes, we have to be more ruthless! Look, these 200+ Japanese devils were wiped out by them, right? Hehe, I just don't know which group of Eighth Route Army they are, and whether they still need people? I see that their guns are different, they are definitely very powerful!"

The people continued to discuss what they were doing. Since the Eighth Route Army comrades said they don't want these anymore, then we can just take them all away... Well, including the bodies of the devils, we can take them all back as sacrifices for our ancestors! Although we'll lose a head, our ancestors shouldn't mind.

Rumble... Three trucks stopped far away on the east side of the hill where the only company was located. Then they handed over to each other, and then one truck turned around on the spot.
