During dinner, Gao Han, Zhang Quan, Guo Hengming and other officers sat on a table. Zhang Quan opened a bottle of sake, poured it on everyone and smiled and said, "This is the first time since the establishment of Taohua Mountain. Jiu Ye said that drinking is a mistake and he never allowed anyone in the village to drink.

My family runs a winery. I used to drink openly, but I have been so tired of it in the past six months. Today, I also benefit from your own money. Although the Japanese wine is not very good, it can at least satisfy my cravings."

The officers saw that there was no wine on the table in the village, and they all looked here eagerly. They knew that what Zhang Quan said was true, and they were a little moved.

At the dinner table, Gao Han did not talk about the arrangements for the newcomers, but just asked them to take good care of themselves and wait until their bodies recovered. If there were combat tasks, the original people in the village would be borne by the original people. This even more touched the officers and soldiers.

In the next few days, Gao Han talked to the people from the Sichuan Army and the Jinsui Army every day, and soon became familiar with them.

Gao Han and others' enthusiasm temporarily stabilized the emotions of the officers and soldiers. However, he knew in his heart that it would not be possible to truly be recognized by these brothers in the national army. The army is a world of strong people. Only with super combat power and able to win battles can everyone feel safe and truly develop trust.

It is a good thing to have too many people on the mountain, but the logistics pressure is also high.

There are 52 people in the mountain now. According to the calculation of 1 kilogram of grain per person per day and 8 taels of grain per person per day, the entire village consumes 1,500 kilograms of grain per month. Currently, there are only 2,800 kilograms of grain stored in the mountain, which can last for up to two months. Unstable food without food is also an urgent problem.

The most urgent task is to go out to fight a war and get the urgently needed food and other materials. As long as you can win the battle, all problems will be solved.

That afternoon, Gao Han was chatting with Guo Hengming, and Jia Liu came over and said, "Master Jiu, the monkey is back."

The monkey is named Sun Yongan, 22 years old, a local. Because he is thin and very clever, he has a nickname called Monkey. A few days ago, he was responsible for going out for investigation and brought back news from the mountain today.

Taoyuan Town.

Liu Defu, the mayor of Taoyuan Town, is 61 years old, with a fat head and big ears. He has a black fur next to his nose. It looks like a fly has fallen. On his well-maintained white skin, he looks very disgusting.

Although he looked like this, he was a wealthy local tyrant. His family had hundreds of hectares of fertile land, he opened a yarn mill in Jinan City, and also operated a medicinal material business. His third son was originally the head of the security team of Shoucheng County. After the Japanese arrived, he transformed into the captain of the puppet security army.

Liu Defu was unkind and was rampant in the countryside. He used to have a concubine in the fifth house, but now he is going to marry the sixth house again.

Zhao Xuemei is the daughter of a tenant from Liu Defu's family. Her mother died early and the father and daughter depended on each other. By chance, Zhao Xuemei, who was only 17 years old, was seen by Liu Defu on the street. He coveted Zhao Xuemei's beauty and wanted to marry her as the wife of the sixth room.

Last fall, the harvest in Zhao Xuemei's family's fields was good, and it was not a problem to pay the rent from that year. However, Liu Defu sent someone to burn the wheat in the fields and then forced their family to pay the rent.

Zhao Xuemei's father was anxious and angry, and fell seriously ill. Liu Defu sent someone to lure her family to owe usury. Liu Defu sent someone to force Zhao Xuemei's family to pay back the money, arrested her father in the county prison, and forced him to pay Zhao Xuemei's debt, otherwise he would die in prison.

In order to rescue his father, Zhao Xuemei had no choice but to agree to be Liu Defu's sixth concubine.

The date for Liu Defu to get married has been decided, on the third day after Qingming Festival, that is, five days later.

After listening to Sun Yongan's report, Guo Hengming slapped the table angrily and cursed: "I'm a turtle son bullies people too much!"

Gao Han asked Jia Liu to call Zhang Quan and the main officers over.

Du Shengxi is from Shaanxi. He is 28 years old this year. He is tall and thin, with a sallow complexion, but his eyes are very vivid. He was originally the deputy of the artillery company of the Jinsui Army. His sister once had the same experience as Zhao Xuemei. At that time, he killed the bully, fled to Shanxi, and became the Jinsui Army.

After listening to the situation, he glared and gritted his teeth, saying, "Russia must kill this old dog."

Zhang Quan and the platoon leaders and deputy platoons were also very angry and said that they would remove the bully landlord Liu Defu.

Sun Yongan also introduced a situation: Taoyuan Town posted a notice to capture the escaped prisoners of war. He also brought back a notice posted by the Japanese, which read the names of Guo Jinghengming, Du Shengxi and others.

The officers secretly thanked Gao Han and Zhang Quan for their choice to stay in Taohua Mountain.

Seeing that the morale of the army was available, Gao Han decided to fight this battle.

Since I went to Taohua Mountain, Gao Han has gone out many times and has a basic understanding of the terrain and enemy situation in this area.

According to the requirements of military topography, he drew a simple picture. Even these officers sighed that this military literacy was inferior to that of the bandit master. He couldn't help but look up at the bandit leader again.

Gao Han pointed to a fork between Taohua Mountain and Taoyuan Town and said, "There is a checkpoint for the Public Security Army here, and there is a squad of puppet troops."

Then, he pointed to Taoyuan Town and said, "There are all security teams in Taoyuan Town, with 25 people, and everyone has guns. Liu Defu and more than 20 servants, and they also have guns, as well as a Czech light machine gun.

Liu Defu wants to marry the sixth concubine, and his son, the captain of the Shoucheng County Public Security Army, should come to attend the wedding. The troops are calculated based on a platoon of 30 people."

"So many?" Everyone was stunned when they heard so many enemies and the situation was so complicated. The atmosphere was a little cold.

Zhang Quan scratched his head, frowned and said, "Master Jiu, there are so many traitors and puppet soldiers, we are only these people. I'm afraid we can't kill these few guns."

Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi and others also showed a look of embarrassment.

Gao Han said: "Liu Defu's family is very wealthy. If this battle is fought, our copycat will make a fortune. However, his house has a high courtyard wall and a gun tower in all corners. If he attacks for a strong attack, he has no chance of winning at all. Only by taking advantage of this opportunity can we take it down."

Guo Hengming asked: "Boss, do you already have plans?"

The officers all looked at Gao Han, wanting to see if he has military command ability.

Gao Han smiled and said, "I have a plan, we are like this..."

After Gao Han finished talking about his plan, everyone felt that it was feasible, but the risk was still not small. After all, the gap between the two sides in terms of military strength was still quite large.

Everyone didn't speak for a while, and had the same experience. Du Shengxi, who empathized with it, spoke first, and said, "One of the boss, don't let that girl be ruined by this old bastard. I'll go with you."

Zhang Quan naturally supported Gao Han, and he also said, "I'll go with Master Jiu."

Guo Hengming made up his mind and said, "Anyway, this life has been recovered. I'm so bad, let's do it!"

Seeing that everyone had made their statements, several platoon leaders and platoon deputy also expressed their agreement.

When Gao Han saw that everyone agreed, he said happily: "We should hurry up and train in the next few days and be prepared to deal with various unexpected situations."

On April 8, Taoyuan Town.

Today is a good day. The Liu family courtyard is covered with red and green, and the lights are decorated with colorful colors, full of festive atmosphere.
Chapter completed!
