What Chen Li encountered was not the enemy, but a group of refugees who were even worse than them. Everyone was unkempt and many people lost their parcels and had nowhere to go.

It seems to be robbed?

The situation was transmitted to the back, and the rushing team stopped. Xu Xiaoyong and Li Ping'an both rushed to inquire about the situation.

After telling the story of several older people among the refugees, they figured out the whole story.

The terrain of this area is dangerous and there are bandits entrenched. Like them, these refugees were also moved into the mountains because of the Japanese.

Unfortunately, they were stopped by bandits. Several militiamen in the village were beaten to death for resistance, and the rest were robbed like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

If they don't go back to the village to find food, they will starve to death here.

After hearing this, everyone was angry. Chen Li held the gun tightly and said, "The evil bandits are in power. You must use the gun to teach them how to behave. Captain Xu, give an order!"

"No hurry, this matter needs to be discussed."

A group of bandits Xu Xiaoyong didn't take it seriously. Although he had been following the civilian cadre route, he had never eaten pork and hadn't seen pigs running.

I have been following the large army to fight, and I have learned a lot by the leaders.

You should not be impatient when doing things, especially their strength is very scarce now. The situation of bandits is unclear and the consequences of making decisions are unimaginable.

"Does anyone know what the bandit leader is called, how many people have guns?" he asked the refugees and everyone around him.

"I know."

An old man among the refugees pointed to the mountain not far away and said, "The mountain is called Xiaoyin Mountain. The bandits entrenched on it are called one eye. It is said that because of fighting, one eye is blinded."

"Oh, one eye?"

"Yes, this bandit is extremely vicious, kidnap and kill people, and is a bandit in the evil village. As for how many of them are, I don't know. It's just that when they came, there were twenty or thirty people."

After the old man finished speaking, he sighed angrily, and the food and other items carried by more than a hundred people in their village were robbed.

Continue to go into the mountains to hide, and have no food to starve to death. But if you return to the village and the Japanese come, you will probably have to peel off even if you don’t die.

It would be great if the Eighth Route Army was there. We would definitely help them eliminate evil bandits and make them fair.

When Li Ping'an saw the old man and the others in such a miserable situation, he couldn't help but feel sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox.

"Emen Village is not much stronger than them. More than a dozen militiamen may not be able to stop the vicious bandits.

Of course, I will take the team members to resist to the death and cover the villagers' retreat. Even if they are all sacrificed, there will be no regrets."

After a tragic imagination, Li Ping'an stepped forward to comfort the old man and said to the villagers behind the old man:

"Well, this person next to you is Captain Xu of the Eighth Route Army. When you meet you, you will be saved. The Eighth Route Army will definitely make the decision for you."

As a member of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, Chen Li couldn't help but agree: "Yes, the Eighth Route Army will definitely help you deal with these evil bandits."

I heard that the Eighth Route Army was in front of me. The old man grabbed Chen Li's hand, trembling, and his excitement was beyond expression. He already believed that the Eighth Route Army would seek justice for them.

In the base area, the weight of the three words Eighth Route Army can be seen from this.

The two of you said the big talk, but Xu Xiaoyong didn't dare to accept it.

It is the responsibility of the Eighth Route Army to protect the people and make decisions for them, but what methods and how to succeed is a science.

He led people to comfort the villagers first, and Xu Xiaoyong looked at the mountain in the distance, frowning.

Obviously, there were only a dozen militia teams that were pieced together by old and weak, and it was difficult to attack head-on, and it was difficult to beat the evil bandits entrenched in the mountains.

What's more, the number of evil bandits is at least twice theirs. If the situation gets worse, maybe twice as much!

It is considered a great luck to protect the villagers by the militia and pass through this place safely. It is difficult to even fight against evil bandits.

Li Ping'an chose two clever soldiers to investigate and sent people to guard the road.

When he came back and found that Xu Xiaoyong was frowning, he muttered a little in his heart.

"Will anyone who engages in publicity fight if they don't fight?"

The more he thought about it, the less he was, as if he saw them being defeated by bandits, and the villagers were chased by bandits and had no way out.

Thinking of this, he actually broke out in a cold sweat, wiped it off with his sleeve, and went forward and said, "Captain Xu, one person has a short plan and two have a short plan. If you have any difficulties, tell me what you are doing, let's think about it together.

Otherwise, call the scholar over here, and look at him as a capable man, who can make grenades, and he will definitely not be vague in wars. Maybe there will be a way."

This awakened Xu Xiaoyong. He decided to hold a small meeting and discuss what to do.

Participants in the meeting include Zhao Jiazhuang's village chief Zhao Jisheng, a middle-aged man in his forties. Zhao Jingfang, the president of the Zhao Jiazhuang Women's Rescue Association, and a progressive woman who has become a woman. Militia captain Li Ping'an, initiator Xu Xiaoyong, and great scholar Yuan Chenming.

Yuan Chenming, who had stopped the team and thought he could take a good rest, was confused when he was suddenly found. He heard that there were bandits in front of him, and his face turned pale even more.

Only then did he realize that the most precious thing in the new ball is safety.

With Li Yunlong and Xinyi regiment here, who can threaten his life and safety? I'm afraid there are only Japanese devils who launched a large-scale attack.

But if you leave the new group, there are not too many people. Two bandits who have robbed the Tao may not be protected.

After all, bandits are extremely vicious and unreasonable. Leaving a life for those who are robbed is considered to be kind-hearted.

"Hey, are you listening?"

Xu Xiaoyong reached out and shook his hand in front of him, asking a little unhappy.

Everyone stood against a stone or sat on the ground, listening carefully to Li Ping'an's story. This one was pale and his soul wandered outside the sky.

It's a fatal situation now!

"Listen! You guys continue." Yuan Chenming rubbed his face hard to cheer himself up.

He didn't think that the few people in front of him were good military commanders, and perhaps they were not as good as him who was talking about it on paper.

Now everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. If the decision-making level makes mistakes, no one will be able to live a good life.

Under Xu Xiaoyong's instructions, Li Ping'an continued to say something just now: "Now it seems that the bandits should be between thirty and forty people, which are extremely vicious."

"Wait, why have you become thirty or forty again? Didn't you just say that there were only more than twenty people?" Zhao Jingfang, the president of the woman rescue, stared at the same time, and asked blankly.

"Twenty or thirty people were the number of people the villagers saw when they went down the mountain to rob. There should be some in the old nest, so it is estimated that they will be more than we see."

After explaining her questions, Li Ping'an continued, "I've asked someone just now. Although this place is not a necessary way to get into the mountain, it may take a hundred miles to get a detour, and it will take another two or three days to go."

"I'm not afraid of detours, but I'm afraid of being unsafe." Village chief Zhao Jisheng thought that detours were feasible for safe reasons. As long as you don't have conflicts with bandits and walk a long distance more, it's acceptable.

However, no one agreed with him.

When Yuan Chenming heard that he wanted to walk a hundred miles more, he squeezed his teeth and his legs became three points weak. If he could choose, he would never want to leave.

But you still have to listen to other people's opinions.

Li Ping'an said: "I think we can fight the bandits, it's better to hurt them and avenge their Huaijia Village, so that we can avoid detours."

Those who were robbed came from Huaijia Village, a small village with only dozens of households.

Zhao Jisheng shook his head very hard and did not agree with Li Ping'an's statement at all. Why should he sacrifice the safety of their village and help avenge a strange village?

To crack down on bandits and make decisions for the people is the Eighth Route Army's business, not theirs.

Of course, you can't watch those people starve to death, borrow some food and spend some days, Zhao Jisheng can still make the decision.

The two had a big disagreement. The lesbians from the Women's Rescue Association could not interfere and did not know who to help. Li Ping'an was not surnamed Zhao, but was an outsider. Moreover, the villagers would protect their own interests, and they probably would have to focus on Zhao Jisheng.

At this time, Yuan Chenming asked: "Our group has such a big goal. Will the bandits have already set their sights on it, and they are even rushing here now?"
