Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

"Fellow villagers, thank you for your trust in our Eighth Route Army. Please leave your children and husbands to us without any worries. I will make sure they practice hard and one day avenge the dead villagers!"

"Old village chief, thank you for your understanding. I will definitely not let you down if I leave these young people in the village to me!"

Lin Zhenhua shook the hand of Village Chief Duan and thanked him excitedly. He did not expect that the old village chief would bring 24 young men from the village to join the Eighth Route Army early in the morning. He originally thought that they needed to be mobilized, but he did not expect that the old village chief would send people directly over. This really solved the urgent problem.

The old village chief laughed and said, "Captain Lin, your Eighth Route Army is a team that fights the Japanese. The Japanese killed dozens of our fellow villagers. We must avenge them. Helping you is also helping ourselves!"

Then, the old village chief turned around and said to the 24 young men in the village: "Boys, don't blame us old guys for being cruel. We really can't survive. If there is a chance of survival, I will not be so cruel as to send you to the team. After you join the Eighth Route Army, you must fight well and drive the Japanese out as soon as possible. Only then can you live a life with a wife and children and a warm bed!"

"Old village chief, you can leave the people to me without worry. Tell the villagers to hurry up and eat. We will set out in half an hour. Don't take anything you don't need. Let's hurry to Lijiazhuang first. We have a lot of food stored in Lijiazhuang, enough for everyone to eat for half a year!"

"Captain Lin, I have just told everyone to bring spare clothes and quilts, as well as some valuables. Leave the rest in the manor for now and come back to get them when you have time!"

Lin Zhenhua and everyone else had breakfast first. He directly organized the 24 new members into four rows, specifically responsible for helping the villagers of Duanjiazhuang to evacuate.

"Second Platoon Leader, you lead two squads to explore the road five miles ahead. If you encounter the Japs and puppet troops, you must give the warning immediately. As the old saying goes, don't be stingy with your bullets, and beat those bastards up!"

"Third Platoon Leader, I will also give you two squads. Your mission is to cover the rear and stop the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops. No matter how many Japanese and puppet troops come, you must stop them for three hours to buy time for the team to evacuate."

"It's already seven in the morning. Everyone, get ready and set off immediately. We must reach Lijiazhuang in three days!"

At Lin Zhenhua's order, a large army of 300 people began to embark on the migration journey in a mighty manner. The squad that Li Sanwa belonged to was responsible for guarding the puppet army. He glanced at Li Gou'er and Li Shitou in the team, his eyes widened in disbelief, and when he saw the leather clothes they were wearing, his eyes turned red and bloodshot. He kicked Li Gou'er, causing him to stagger.

When Shitou saw his second brother being kicked down, he wanted to push forward and hit Li Sanwa with his body. However, as he was tied with ropes and carrying things on his back, Li Sanwa kicked him to the ground again, and he let out a painful wail.

"Oh, I can't live! The Eighth Route Army grandfather beat people. Didn't you say you wouldn't mistreat prisoners? Why did you beat my brother and me? It turns out that what you say is bullshit. I want to see your superiors!"

Seeing Li Shitou was acting like a scoundrel, Li Sanwa kicked him again. Li Gou'er beside him hugged his foot tightly and asked angrily, "Damn Sanwa, you are so capable, but you dare to bully my brother. Do you really think that you can bully us brothers at will just because you have been an Eighth Route Army soldier for a few days? If I tell your superiors, you will definitely be in trouble!"

Lin Zhenhua, who was walking in front, heard the noise behind him. He looked back and found that Li Sanwa had a conflict with two puppet soldiers. He ran over and asked, "Li Sanwa, what are you doing? Don't you know that we have a policy for treating prisoners? We can't beat or scold prisoners at will. You are making a mistake. I will put you in solitary confinement for three days after I go back. I will let you reflect on yourself!"

Li Sanwa cried out, "Captain Lin, I didn't expect to see these two ruthless people here. Among so many people in Lijia Village, only one child survived, and these two bastards actually served as dogs for the devils. Are they worthy of Aunt Li? Are they worthy of the folks in Lijia Village? Even if I made a mistake today, I will beat these two guys up. These two conscienceless bastards, my mother was killed by the devils, and I still served as a dog for them!"

As soon as Li Gou'er saw Lin Zhenhua coming, he loosened his grip on Li Sanwa's legs. After hearing Li Sanwa's explanation, he ignored the pain in his body, tightly grasped Li Sanwa's shoulders, and asked, "Li Sanwa, you son of a bitch, you lied to me, didn't you? My eldest brother and my mother are fine in the village, tell me if you were lying to me just now!"

Li Sanwa pushed Li Gou'er away with all his strength and threw him to the ground, cursing angrily, "You have already become our prisoner, do you think I need to lie to you? Your parents, your elder brother and your sister-in-law were all killed by the devils and Er Gou'er, and only your little niece survived. God is really blind, why doesn't he let all of you, a family of troublemakers, go to hell?"

Lin Zhenhua stepped forward to stop Li Sanwa from continuing. He saw that Li Gou'er and Shitou looked dazed, as if they were idiots, and they had no reaction to the things around them. This was a sign of extreme sadness.

"Come here, take off their things and put them on the horses, and loosen the ropes on their hands!"

"Captain Li Gou'er, Deputy Captain Li Shitou, the place we are going to is Lijiazhuang. I know you two don't believe what Sanwazi said, but I have to tell you a cruel truth. Lijiazhuang was really massacred. No matter what wrong you did, I believe you still have a little conscience, unless you are really worse than animals!"

"You must remember that being a dog for the devils will not end well. I hope you can take care of yourselves!"

Lin Zhenhua did not continue speaking. Looking at the two crying bitterly, he felt a little bit reluctant. He sighed, and the team, which had been a little chaotic just now, became orderly again and continued to move forward in silence.

"Li Sanwa, go find the second platoon leader and see what happened up ahead. We haven't had any contact for an hour. Is there any unexpected situation?"

"Captain Lin, I'll go right away! After I get back, I'll accept the punishment and put myself in solitary confinement for five days, but I don't regret beating up those two lackeys. I have to avenge the villagers of Lijiazhuang!"

Lin Zhenhua kicked Li Sanwa in the air and told him to get out. He had a vague sense of crisis in his heart, which came out of nowhere. This made him more and more uneasy, and he always felt that something big was going to happen.
