After listening to Ding Xiaosan's confession, Yang Zhen did not say anything, but stared at his eyes with murderous eyes. Seeing the sharp gaze that Yang Zhen cast, Ding Xiaosan did not dare to say anything else, and even lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

After examining Ding Xiaosan's expression after saying this, Yang Zhen said after a little judgment on the authenticity of his words: "It is up to you to tell the truth whether you tell the truth or not. However, if you deceive us, you will know the result. I can tell you clearly that if there is a little lies in your words, you will know what it means to feel worse than death."

Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Ding Xiaosan was so scared that he knelt down on the ground and kept kowtowing: "I dare not, the little one dare not hide it at all, and every word he said is the truth."

Looking at the police chief's appearance as if he was bear-like, Yang Zhen shook his head and pointed to Zhang Ting who was still standing outside the door and said, "Tell me, what's going on with this girl? Did you snatch it?"

After hearing this, Ding Xiaosan turned his head and looked at Zhang Ting, and hurriedly said, "That woman is a young childhood sweetheart, a wife who has been engaged since childhood. She originally planned to get married today, but she didn't want to be met by her grandfather. Although the young man had to work under the Japanese for his livelihood, he had never infringed on the people. He never did the robbery."

Regarding Ding Xiaosan's answer that was obviously not the truth, Yang Zhen had not spoken yet. Zhang Ting, who was standing outside the door, quit first, jumped in, and punched Ding Xiaosan piled on the ground, and scratched and scratched her. The momentum was so great that Li Mingruila, who was standing next to Ding Xiaosan, could not even pull it away.

It was not until he was tired of fighting that he pointed to the nose of Ding Xiaosan who was like a blood gourd that was scratched by her and said, "You bastard, who is your childhood sweetheart with you? If you hadn't colluded with your shrew aunt, my stepmother, I wouldn't know what kind of ecstasy soup I gave my confused father and tied my aunt to a sedan chair. With you, a traitor who is willing to work hard for the Japanese, my aunt wouldn't have followed you."

"Also, you have never infringed on the people? You deserve to say this? How many bad things have you done over the years, relying on the power of the Japanese and the cousin who was the police chief in Acheng? Not to mention anything else, how many of the big girls and young wives in this neighborhood have you harmed? How many of them have you given to the three Japanese to ruin."

Looking at Zhang Ting who was furious, Yang Zhen waved his hand and signaled Li Mingrui to take Ding Xiaosan away who had been scratched by her, then frowned and said, "Who allowed you to come in? Didn't you see what he said? Are the words he said true or false? I'm not blind yet, I can see it. Also, do you know what military secrets are? I'm interrogating the prisoner. Should you leave a little?"

Yang Zhen, who was already a little dissatisfied with her standing at the door and was a little dissatisfied with eavesdropping on his own affairs openly, was really angry at this moment by this woman.

Although he didn't think Ding Xiaosan was telling the truth at all. If a woman was willing to marry him, why should she tie her into the bridal chamber? There was obviously something else in this. But Zhang Ting did this in front of him, and she didn't take herself seriously.

Besides, Zhang Ting looked like a shrew, and looked at Ding Xiaosan's miserable situation. Thinking of Ding Xiaosan's scream just now, even though Yang Zhen was calm, he couldn't help but feel a little furious. This woman is too fierce. Who dares to marry her in the future?

However, Yang Zhen's words were interrupted by Guo Bingxun, who was summoned by Yang Zhen: "Okay, Lao Yang, why are you angry with a little girl? Dali, take this girl to have dinner first. As for how to arrange her, I will talk about it after the meal."

Seeing Zhang Ting, who was reluctant to let go by Huang Dali, put the food in her hand on a table, Guo Bingxun smiled and said, "This woman is quite interesting. I didn't expect that she would find such a living treasure here, which is also a good candidate to solve the problem."

Regarding Guo Bingxun's joke, Yang Zhen shook his head: "Old Guo, you have this skill, and you still have the time to watch jokes."

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's talk about the serious matter. You interrogated the police chief in the middle just now. How about it? Is there any useful information?" Guo Bingxun finished joking, and the expression on his face turned serious. He made such a joke, just hoped that Yang Zhen could relax and not think about things like enemy situations in his mind.

Yang Zhen opened the map and pointed to the map and said, "There are not much detailed information from this boy's mouth. He only knows that tomorrow morning, there will be two squadrons of Japanese devils, one battalion of the puppet Manchukuo Army infantry and cavalry each arrive here."

"It is obvious that their goal of entering the mountain this time is to point directly to us. Because according to his instructions, the Japanese and puppet troops will be responsible for the Japanese and puppet troops entering the mountain to clear the mountain, and the puppet Manchukuo Army is only responsible for the vigilance and blockade of the periphery. Once the people who arrest us are not allowed to interrogate, they must be handed over to the Japanese quickly. Moreover, the reward for shooting and killing is higher than that of the captured. This is obviously directed at us."

"What he provided was only the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops starting from Harbin, and he was not aware of the other directions. However, I thought that if the Japanese wanted to completely eliminate us, they would never just dispatch troops from Harbin. The Japanese and puppet troops in the Zhuhe River to the west, Wuchang, Shulan, and even Mudanjiang to move towards this place."

"From the confession of Ding Xiaosan, the Japanese wanted to destroy us and then go faster. Although there is no road to Beida in the depth, the area is not small. If they clear us in such a large mountain forest, they would not just use two squadrons."

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's fingers drew along the Binsui Line on the map: "For us, the most important thing in his confession is that the Japanese had already strictly blocked the Binsui Railway at this time, and even ordinary people would not allow it if they wanted to be in the north of the corridor."

"It is only more than ten kilometers away from the Binsui Railway, and the Japanese and puppet troops arrived when they speak, so we must not stay here for a long time. After a while, the brothers will evacuate immediately and continue to retreat eastward. We must strive to evacuate here before the heavy Japanese troops gather. Tell your brothers not to be afraid of marching and walking. The more we walk, the safer it will be."

After hearing Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun nodded and said hesitantly, "We are evacuating to the point where we just evacuated the iron ore, but when we searched the iron ore, we rescued more than 400 workers. Most of these workers are weak and not many of them can withstand long journeys. How can we take them away? But stay. If the Japanese think they have contacted us and are suspected of leaking the secret, will they take the attack?"

The matter that Guo Bingxun said made Yang Zhen not know what to do for a moment. It is impossible and not safe to take so many workers away. But Guo Bingxun was not wrong. If they were kept, it would probably not be too good to wait for them.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen said: "Old Guo, have you checked where are these workers? What are their physical conditions? What are their age conditions?"

"Most of them are from Hebei, and a few are from Shandong. Except for some of the people who were arrested by them, many of them were deceived. Lao Yang, what would happen to these people when they were arrested for labor? They are all young and middle-aged people."

"These workers work for twelve to fourteen hours a day, and only add a small bowl of sorghum rice to each meal. If the amount is not completed, the Japanese will not give them food, and they will still go hungry. With hunger and cold, and long periods of super-physical labor, most of these people's physical condition is already extremely weak."

"According to the laborers, there were nearly a thousand workers who were arrested at the end of last year. In just half a year, there are only more than four hundred people left. When these people mention the Japanese and puppet troops, they are so angry that they are dying."

Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, had an idea in his mind and said, "Old Guo, what do you think we are most short of except weapons and ammunition, as well as some supplies?"

Regarding Yang Zhen's question, Guo Bingxun replied without thinking: "Is there any need to say? A qualified source of troops. If we want to persist in the Northeast for a long time, the number of these brothers remaining is far from enough. If we want to expand our troops, we must have a large amount of replenishment forces."

After Guo Bingxun finished speaking, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "That's right. These people are all young and middle-aged people, and they hate the Japanese and puppet troops to death. Do you think they will become our best supplementary source?"

Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Guo Bingxun already knew that he had made up his mind. He agreed with Yang Zhen’s statement, but he was still worried: “Are you saying that you will take all these people away? With their current physical condition, can they persevere? Old Yang, you should know that we don’t know how many more roads we have to walk to reach the next place where we can rest.”

"I think there should be no big problem. The fact that these people can survive in such a harsh environment means that their physical foundation is still good. The current weakness is just a long-term malnutrition, not enough to eat, and overloaded labor. I think that as long as they can eat for a while, they should be able to keep up with the speed of our march."

"Old Guo, we only have two small bowls of sorghum rice every day in the base of the Japanese, and the quantity is not as large as them. Although we don't need to do a lot of physical labor, we are all men in our prime. How can this little thing fill our stomachs? But we started marching and fighting since the middle of the night yesterday. Didn't the brothers insist on it? I think these workers should be able to persevere without them working and just marching."

"Besides, what should we do if we don't take it away? Are we just watching them being killed by the Japanese? Judging from the current situation, the Japanese are putting us to death and then quickly. You are right. In order to keep their ulterior motives, the Japanese will never care about the lives of these hundreds of workers who are just talking tools in their eyes."

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked at Guo Bingxun, who was still hesitant on his face, waved his hand down and said, "If these workers are willing to follow us, they will be taken away. However, don't force those who are unwilling to fight the Japanese with us. We don't know what kind of difficulties we will encounter in the future, and don't want those who are not strong-willed."

"Okay, I'll have someone to arrange it. However, Lao Yang has a few more things I have to tell you. We seized more than 1,000 kilograms of sorghum rice, more than 500 kilograms of rice, and a big truck of five bins. There are also a batch of salt and other materials. Gasoline and kerosene alone have dozens of barrels."

"Oh, by the way. There are about 3,000 kilograms of explosives used by the Japanese to mine. I saw that all of them were high-quality explosives produced by Japan. In addition to these, we also seized a batch of batteries. With the batteries, we can use the radio station seized from the Japanese to contact the rear. However, we do not have the ability to take all of these materials. How do you deal with the remaining materials?"

"Tell your brothers to take away whatever they can, but there is one thing that will never affect the marching and combat. Those that cannot be taken away will be destroyed on the spot. Isn't there any mine caves on this mountain? All of them are thrown into it and poured with gasoline. We can't use it, and we can't leave it for the Japanese. By the way, take all the explosives away. This is a good thing."

"By the way, Lao Guo, how much ammunition we have now?" After the decision was made, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered that he should count the weapons and ammunition. He fought two consecutive battles from last night to now, and how much ammunition is still on hand now is a key question.

Guo Bingxun was a staff officer and was very meticulous. These things did not make Yang Zhen worry too much about them. Hearing Yang Zhen ask about the number of weapons and ammunition, he opened his mouth without thinking and said: "Now our weapons are enough. There are 320 rifles, and there are more than 80 southern pistols, two fast and slow machines seized in the Ash River. Twelve crooked shell guns were built in Fengtian. Eleven crooked machine guns were used."

"But after fighting last night and today's daytime, although the weapons are enough, there are not many ammunition left. Even if the six thousand bullets seized in the Battle of Ash River, the average rifle has less than 60 rounds per rifle. The average machine gun is less than 200 rounds. As for pistols, there are less than 10 rounds per pistol."

"However, Lao Yang, here we seized seventeen Fengtian Liao thirteen rifles, six barge shell guns, one light machine gun, and one thousand bullets from the puppet Manchukuo police. In addition, we seized thirty rifles that were originally planned to be used by the Japanese to form a mine police force, one machine gun and ten barge shell guns, and three thousand bullets."

"I originally wanted to ask how to deal with this batch of weapons and ammunition that we cannot carry, but since you have decided to take all the workers away, there is no need to ask. If half of these workers decide to leave with us, we will not have enough weapons."

Hearing Guo Bingxun mentioning labor again, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Try to persuade these laborers to follow us. No matter what, one more person will have more strength, and there will be a seed that will allow the troops to grow and grow in the future. As for the lack of weapons, we can seize them from the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops. Talent is the most important thing. With people, everything is possible."

After talking about what to discuss, Yang Zhen put down the bowl in his hand, stood up, walked to the window and looked at the dark mountains outside. After a moment of silence, he turned around and said, "Old Guo, tell Li Mingrui, let him separate the pseudo police and re-interrogate them separately to determine the authenticity of Ding Xiaosan's confession. After confirming, all of these pseudo police officers were taken." At this point, Yang Zhen gestured with his hand on his neck.

"These pseudo-police police are familiar with the terrain, colluded with the Japanese to commit crimes, and devoted themselves to serving the Japanese. Once they are released and they are allowed to lead the way, it will cause us great trouble. Here, we can only rely on maps to march and fight. Compared with them who have been local snakes for many years, we are too unfamiliar with this place."

"There is another point. I want to determine the standard of treating traitors in the future. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, you should know how much of the traitors we have suffered. After the September 18th Incident, if there were not so many traitors who accomplice the tiger and recognize thieves as their fathers, the Japanese would not have occupied the entire Northeast so quickly with the strength of a mere division. What we have to face in the future is not only the vicious Japanese, but also these traitors."

"We not only want to destroy the Japanese, but also let those traitors who forget their ancestors and sell themselves for glory know the consequences of their ancestors and betrayal of their compatriots. Don't think that they can do evil with the protection of the Japanese."

"It's not that we don't repay you, but that the time has not come. No matter how sooner or later, someone will deal with them. Their fate will not be better than their master, or even worse. What we need to do to traitors is not to kill one and warn a hundred, but to kill one and warn a hundred."

Yang Zhen did not expect that Guo Bingxun was not at all different from his ideas when dealing with traitors. As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, Guo Bingxun nodded and said, "That's what I mean. The method of treating these traitors who sell themselves and seek honor is to be ruthless. I will make arrangements now."

Just when Guo Bingxun stood up and was about to go out, Yang Zhen, who suddenly remembered something, called him again and said, "Tell brothers, take off all the signs on the Japanese military uniforms, but don't throw them away. We will go into the mountain soon, so don't have any misunderstandings with the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces that are operating in this area."
