Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Report to the chief, there's a call from Division 1!" At this time, a staff officer reported.

"Let me see it!" The chief of staff hurriedly stood up, took the telegram and started reading it. The more he read, the more excited he became, and finally he burst into laughter.

"What did Lin Tian say? Does it make you so happy? Bring it here so I can see!" General Lao looked at the chief of staff in such a state, and asked curiously. He walked over quickly and looked down.

"Good boy! You have a strategic vision!" General Lao's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Call back! Comrade Lin Tian will be fully responsible for the liberation of Shanxi Province. The headquarters will send troops to assist. Comrade Lin Tian has the right to command all the nearby armed forces of the Eighth Route Army. All actions do not require instructions!"

"See which troops are closest to Taiyuan and have them move quickly to Division 1!" the chief of staff added.

"Oh my goodness, liberate Shanxi Province! It really gives our Eighth Route Army a boost!" General Lao was not satisfied after saying this, and slammed his hand on the table.

……

After General Lin Tian gave clear instructions, he took the monks, the guard company, and a battalion of soldiers, and drove to Laowang Mountain, escorting a large number of Japanese prisoners of war.

More than 30,000 Japanese prisoners of war walked dejectedly and naked in the middle of the road, while the soldiers of the First Division walked on both sides with rifles in their hands.

The team stretched for dozens of miles and was huge in scale.

"Hey, Commander, there is another village ahead. Let's go through the village." The monk was driving in the first one and saw smoke rising ahead and said with a smile.

"No problem." Lin Tian said, leaning back in his chair and squinting his eyes.

"rumble……"

The sound of the truck reached the village, causing a commotion.

"Oh my, are the Japanese coming? I heard there's a war going on ahead..." An old lady ran out of the house in panic and met an old man who also went out to check what was going on. She said in horror.

"Hurry! Go and call the villagers, run quickly!" the old man said hurriedly.

"Gousheng! Gousheng! You run fast, go and tell everyone to run, the Japanese must be coming!" The old lady hurriedly called to her little grandson and said anxiously.

In a short while, the villagers ran towards the back mountain with their families.

But there were a few brave and disobedient children who sneaked out from the crowd when no one was paying attention.

"Hehe, Brother Big Dog, let's go find the Eighth Route Army and let them kill these devils." said a little girl with braids.

"Yes, Brother Big Dog, I heard from my mom that my father was killed by the Japanese during the war. I hate them so much. Let's go find the Eighth Route Army..." A shirtless little boy wiped his nose and said firmly.

"Okay, I know where the Eighth Route Army is. I saw them when I went to the back mountain to herd sheep before. An uncle even gave me half a sesame cake. I'll take you to find them!" The big dog stood up and said.

His father was conscripted by the Japanese to build fortifications and eventually died at their hands. Not only Da Gou, but many young and middle-aged men in the village were conscripted by the Japanese and eventually never returned. Everyone in the village had a huge hatred for the Japanese.

Moreover, the Japanese came to demand food every once in a while, so everyone had nothing to eat and was forced to hand over the good things in their homes to the Japanese.

If there weren't only elderly people and children in the village who were unable to move, they would have run away long ago...

"Let's go to our good place and take a look. The Japs must have passed through there. I want to see what they look like. I want to remember what the murderers who killed our relatives look like!" The big dog pulled the two children towards their secret base.

It is said to be a secret base, but in fact it is just an abandoned tunnel that leads to a hill, from which one can observe the movements around the village.

……

"Hehe, Commander, if the villagers can't help but want to beat the Japanese later, can you let me have a go too..." the monk said with a silly smile.

He became itchy when he saw the Japanese and felt uncomfortable if he didn't beat them up.

“Be gentle, kid. Don’t beat them to death. These are excellent laborers. If you kill them, no one will dig our mine.” Lin Tian opened his eyes and said jokingly.

The reason why he took the Japanese prisoners through densely populated areas was to let the villagers vent their anger.

Especially in the areas that have just been recovered from the Japanese, the folks there have suffered untold hardships and oppression. It is time to let them vent their anger.

……

"Ghosts... These are the Japanese... There are so many of them..." The little boy said in a trembling voice as he looked at the Japanese soldiers marching in densely packed rows below.

"No, why don't the Japs have guns? I heard from the old people that the Japs carry big guns, which is very scary..." The big dog is older and observes more carefully.

"Hey? Isn't that... isn't that the Eighth Route Army? Their clothes are exactly the same as the Eighth Route Army I saw in the back mountain!" After observing for a while, Da Gou was surprised to find that there were Eighth Route Army soldiers on both sides, and that they were actually holding guns in their hands. He couldn't help but exclaimed.

How is this going?

Why did the Eighth Route Army walk together with the Japanese?

The three children couldn't help but feel strange...

"I...I want to go down and take a look. I'll go ask the Eighth Route Army!" Big Dog hesitated for a while, then made up his mind.

In his heart, the Eighth Route Army was a hero, although he couldn't understand why the Eighth Route Army would walk together with the Japanese devils.

But when he looked at the formation below, he felt that it was very similar to the formation the Japanese used when they came to the village to capture people and then escorted them.

Da Gou couldn't help wondering if it was the Eighth Route Army escorting the devils...

"Brother Big Dog, you...you don't go, I'm scared...woooo..." When the little girl heard that Big Dog was going down, she sat down on the ground and started crying.

If Big Dog was killed by the Japanese, there would be no older kids to play with her.

"Xiaohua, don't cry. I don't think there will be any danger. You wait here for me!" The big dog touched Xiaohua's head and said.

"Danniu, you stay here and look after Xiaohua. If I can't come back, you should wait until the Japanese leave and then take Xiaohua back." The big dog whispered in Daniu's ear.

After saying that, the big dog went out of the cave without looking back and ran downwards.

……

At the same time, the back mountain.

Several women suddenly discovered that their children were missing and began to look for them in panic.

"Big Dog..."

"Have you seen my little flower?"

"My big bull is missing too..."

"What should I do? Where did this naughty kid run off to? Oh, I hope he doesn't run into the Japanese..."

"Big Dog, without you, how can I live..."

After searching for a while, the women found nothing. They were terrified and sat on the ground, sobbing softly...

"Don't worry, these three kids are very smart. Don't worry, once the Japanese leave, we will help you find them..." The village chief sighed and comforted them.
