Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

After the two sides said goodbye to each other, Kong Hao led the special forces team on a new journey. There were more important things waiting for them in Tianjin.

Li Xiangyang just waved his hand and watched his comrades leave, then returned to Lijia Village and started a new round of recruiting soldiers. With so many supplies, everyone was ready to go.

Captain Ma has now become a glorious Eighth Route Army guerrilla. At this point he is completely convinced, especially since he also participated in the operation the night before, but was only responsible for guarding the perimeter.

When he saw two squadrons of Japanese soldiers being killed like chickens, and heard that they were the field troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army, his three views were overturned in an instant.

In his mind, the Japanese, especially the veterans, were very powerful. One of them could beat five or six ordinary Chinese soldiers. But now even the enemy's elite troops were no match for our guerrillas. This made his sense of belonging reach the maximum level in an instant.

However, today he specifically asked for leave from Captain Li and prepared to go home, at least to tell his mother that his son was not a traitor, but a hero who fought against the Japanese.

Considering that he used to be a company commander in the puppet army, some things were really hard to explain all at once, so Instructor Xu decided to accompany him there in person. It wasn't far anyway, and it would only take a day or two to go back and forth.

The main reason is that a sharpshooter is too rare, and if you are not careful, he will be poached by other guerrillas.

Their Lijiacun guerrillas, no, now they have been upgraded to a guerrilla squadron. Li Xiangyang is the squadron leader, instructor Xu becomes instructor Xu, and company commander Ma becomes the squadron leader of the second squad.

Captain Ma's original name was Ma Mingde. When he was born, his father asked a teacher in the town to give him two liters of rice.

It's a pity that he only likes to wield swords and guns, and chose to join the army when he just became an adult. He originally wanted to serve the motherland, but unexpectedly he became a puppet soldier by mistake. In order not to disturb his family, he has not been home for almost a year.

The closer he got to home, the more his heart trembled. Even when he met people from the next village, he didn't dare to say hello easily. After all, he couldn't tell everyone that he was a guerrilla and no longer a puppet soldier.

This man is a gossipy person. If the Japanese get the news, they will probably attack his family, so he can only find a piece of coarse cloth to cover his face and try not to attract attention.

Instructor Xu, on the other hand, was wearing a tattered military uniform, but it was washed very clean. He brought it from the army and was reluctant to wear it on weekdays. He only took it out of the box and put it on today because he was going to accompany Ma Mingde home.

The neat uniform of the Eighth Route Army was already very eye-catching, and with the brand new Mauser pistol slung across his shoulder, he looked like a high-ranking leader of the army, and all the villagers turned their eyes to him.

Even though he still had a bandage on his arm, it became a medal of honor. This was definitely an injury he suffered fighting the Japanese.

The current Fourth Squadron of the County Brigade has performed outstandingly in previous battles, and all the soldiers have been awarded. In addition, the superiors have also distributed two Mauser pistols, one Turtle Box, sixteen Hanyang rifles, eight Type 36 rifles made by the Japanese, and a Type light machine gun. There are also about a thousand rounds of bullets and melon grenades. This is already a very powerful force.

Instructor Xu naturally received a Mauser pistol, which was his most precious possession.

However, Ma Mingde still said worriedly: "Instructor, I don't know what's going on. The closer I get to my home, the more nervous I get. I'm afraid my mother will be so angry if she sees me that she'll do something bad."

Instructor Xu said solemnly, "Comrade Ma Mingde, you are now a glorious guerrilla squad leader, specializing in fighting the Japanese. If your mother knew about this, she would probably be proud of you. Don't worry too much."

At this time in Majia Village, in Ma Mingde's home, a bad thing was happening.

Aunt Ma was hiding in the house alone, feeling sad. Her youngest son had become a puppet soldier, which meant he had become a traitor and a traitor to her country. How could she, who had always been so righteous, accept this?

She used to like going out to chat, but she hasn't left the yard for more than half a year, mainly because she felt embarrassed.

Raising a son who was a traitor was the worst thing Aunt Ma had ever done in her life. People in the village often pointed fingers at her, and even her relatives felt ashamed and stopped having any contact with her.

Her parents simply refused to acknowledge her as their daughter, which made Aunt Ma feel extremely depressed.

Suddenly, there was a burst of scolding outside the courtyard gate, as well as screams from people being whipped by branches.

Aunt Ma hurried out to check and found out that it was her second son who was beating her eldest grandson. He was beaten so badly that the little boy, about ten years old, was touching his buttocks and jumping on the spot, and there were many scratches on his face.

Ma, who was eager to protect her grandson, quickly spoke out to stop him, "Tie Niu, what are you doing? What did my grandson do wrong that you have to be so cruel?"

"Mom, ask him yourself, why does the child have to learn to fight with others when there are so many other things to learn."

Ma Xiaobao, the eldest grandson of Ma Da Niang, was in his rebellious period at this time. He had just been beaten and was not convinced. When he saw his grandmother come out to support him, he burst into tears:

"It's all Tiedan's fault. He refused to play with me and brought many people to scold me as the child of a traitor. He also called my third uncle a big bad guy and told all the other kids not to play with me."

"I remember you told me that Uncle San was a great hero. How come he suddenly became a villain?"

"I was not convinced, so I started a fight with Tiedan. Even though he was one year older than me, he was very weak and I easily got on top of him. I wonder if he will dare to talk nonsense again in the future."

The child's innocent words immediately made the two adults present feel ashamed, but they didn't know how to explain to him that this was a shame for their family.

After a long while, Aunt Ma finally spoke: "Tie Niu, take two kilograms of flour from home and go over to apologize. We were wrong in this matter, so you have to be nice and polite."

After hearing this, Ma Erge said hesitantly, "Mom, this is what we have been saving for a long time. We were going to save it for making dumplings for the New Year. Now it's been taken away. What are we going to eat for the New Year? We haven't had dumplings for the New Year for three consecutive years."

After he finished speaking, he looked around again, came close to Madam Ma, and whispered:

"Mom, didn't my third brother ask someone to send some money to me? It's in cash. Should we use some of it to improve our lives?"

After hearing this, Ma became furious and slapped Ma Erge hard on the face, shouting at the top of her lungs:

"Tie Niu, you want to piss me off to death? Mom has told you so many times that you can't touch that money. That money is dirty. We in the Ma family would rather starve to death than use that dirty money."

"Once you have saved a certain amount, you must hand it over to the army without missing a cent. Only then can it be used to redeem Gousheng's sins."
