Chapter 56 Clan Power
After coming out of the Yan family compound, Li Mu, who was with him, couldn't help but say angrily: "Captain, why don't I take a squad to catch that old guy?"
Xu Shijiu stayed in the Yan family for less than half a cup of tea, and Yan Zhong had no good face from beginning to end, so Xu Shijiu was only able to cultivate his skills. If it were him, Li Mu, he would have sent troops to surround the Yan family. What kind of thing, a broken clan leader, would he really consider himself a person? To be serious, the old guy is still a traitor grandfather, why are you so arrogant?
"Don't do anything wrong." Xu Shijiu stopped him quickly. Although the Yan family's trip was not smooth this time, it was not without gains. As for Mr. Yan, he did not refuse to meet him, this was a good start. Xu Shijiu believed that as long as he treated Yan's hometown with sincerity, he would eventually change his mind. After all, the national justice is there.
While speaking, he had already arrived outside the town. Gao Shenxing, who was staying outside the town, came forward and asked, "How is it? Have you hit a wall?"
Xu Shijiu said without saying a word, Gao Shenxing said, "If you want me to say that this trip is unnecessary. You don't think about what good things can a grandfather who can raise two traitor grandsons? What kind of respect is that if you stamp your feet, you will be earthquakes when you stamp your feet. I will bring a class here. He stamps one foot to show me. Can it shake me down?"
"Old Gao, things are not as simple as you think." Xu Shijiu frowned when he heard this.
Gao Shenxing is good at everything, and his military quality is particularly strong, but his political vision is lacking. In this world, if we can distinguish between absolute right and wrong, then things are simple. Many things cannot be measured by simple standards. For example, Mr. Yan, can you declare that the Yan brothers are traitors because they are traitors? It is obviously inappropriate.
In fact, Xu Shijiu is unwilling to deal with Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan may be different from their grandsons. He is not a traitor, but he is stubborn and xenophobic. But he is reluctant to do so. Xu Shijiu still has to fight this deal, because it is related to the people's support and whether the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui can grow and grow in Longkou County.
In this regard, Xu Shijiu has limitations after all. He always believed that a few gentry and clans represent the people's hearts. He also gained the support of a few gentry and clans, and also gained the support of the people. Xu Shijiu did not know that gentry and clans actually only represent the interests of a small number of people. To win the hearts of the people, the most important thing for the 19th Detachment is to mobilize the people and directly win the hearts of the lower-class farmers, rather than trying every means to win the support of these gentry and clans.
Xu Shijiu once again reminded Li Mu, Gao Shenxing: "I will deal with the problem of Yanjia Town, and you can't do anything randomly."
Gao Shenxing fiddled with the modified rifle in his hand and said, "Since you are not annoyed, what else can we say?"
"Go to Lijia Town again." Xu Shijiu said, and got on his side tricycle. After taking down the gendarmerie headquarters, the 19th Detachment seized several side tricycle and two trucks. Now the 19th Detachment has entered the "mechanization" of running. Unfortunately, the fuel stored is limited, so it won't take long to stay these vehicles will have to settle down.
However, Xu Shijiu would not hide these vehicles as treasures, so he took them out and used them directly.
Gao Shenxing and Li Mu also got on another side three-wheeler, Niu Sigen and one of the accompanying rows got on another truck, and then two side three-wheelers were in front and the truck was behind, rolling up dust and heading straight for Lijia Town. Xu Shijiu came out this time and planned to walk several townships in Longkou County one by one.
When Xu Shijiu and his party arrived at Lijia Town, Li Shuangqin, Leng Er and Chuang Er were already waiting there.
Li Shuangqin, Leng Er and Chuang Er had already known about the 19th Detachment's capture of Longkou County. Two elderly bandits immediately expressed their intention to bring their troops into the county town. Leng Er and Chuang Er have been bandits for half their lives. The biggest dream is to one day be able to conquer a county town and live the addiction of the county magistrate.
How could Xu Shijiu not know the thoughts of the two old bandits and immediately refuse?
Bandits are bandits. They have been used to robbing families for many years, so how can they be changed? If these bandits enter the county town, they will not be able to mess up the entire county town? Then mediate the conflict between the two groups of bandits and the puppet army, which will make Xu Shijiu frustrated, and Xu Shijiu will no longer use it for other things.
Xu Shijiu not only refused to allow the bandits from Qinglong Village, but also left Li Shuangqin's Sichuan army in Panshi Village. One was to continue to strengthen the fortifications of Panshi Village, and the other was to monitor the bandits from Qinglong Village and Heilong Village nearby, so as to prevent them from taking the opportunity to go down the mountain and go to Lijia Town to fight Qiufeng.
Seeing Leng Er and Chou Er follow him, Xu Shijiu frowned.
Li Shuangqian could only respond to Xu Shijiu with innocent eyes. Leng Er and Shuangqian insisted on following him to Lijia Town, and he had no choice. After all, everyone in his post was the captain, and Li Shuangqian could not suppress these two old bandits at all.
Leng Er came up and asked with a saliva face: "I said, Captain, Team L, when will the brothers of the team enter the city?"
"Going into the city? Brigade l, will the brigade Yu enter the city?" Xu Shijiu pretended to be confused with his understanding, "You are staying well in Qinglong Village and Heilong Village, do you want to enter the city?"
"Ah?" Leng Er and Scar Er looked at each other.
What does this mean? Who would like to stay on Erlong Mountain if you can’t live in the county town?
Xu Shijiu quickly poured cold water on the two old bandits and said, "Do you think the county town can be kept safe? I tell you that it is a dream. The little Japanese will soon mobilize troops to counterattack. In a few days, we will have to give up the county town. If you have the time to run back and forth, it is better to spend some time strengthening the defense of the mountain village.
Xu Shijiu has repeatedly deduced the question of how Japan will deal with the next question.
The conclusion is that before the Battle of Nanchang ends, it is unlikely that Japan will counterattack Longkou County, but once the Nanchang Battle is over, Japan will definitely take revenge after it is freed. After all, Japan also has to consider the impact of Longkou's loss. If they do not want to see the situation of the entire southern Anhui, they must regain Longkou.
As for the troops, Xu Shijiu is expected to send at least one infantry brigade.
Faced with the attack of the entire infantry brigade of Japan, the 19th Detachment had no chance to defend Longkou County. After all, the 19th Detachment was just an isolated army, not even a friendly army, and there was no military logistics support. The seizure of supplies could not last long, so giving up the county town was an inevitable result.
What Xu Shijiu is now counting on is to be able to form a team, a team that truly belongs to him before the Japanese counterattack. Therefore, Xu Shijiu will patiently visit the clan leaders and gentry in various townships one by one. What he wants is that these clan leaders and gentry can make words and mobilize children from the clan to sign up to participate in the 19 teams.
Leng Er and Scar Er exchanged their eyes, but they obviously didn't believe it.
Xu Shijiu was too lazy to explain more, so he turned his head and asked Li Shuangqiang: "Old Li, has the woman who claimed to be a liaison officer in the Li Yu's mouth last time verified his identity?"
"No, it's still closed." Li Shuangqian replied, shook his head and shook his head.
"It's been two days, and I haven't verified it yet? No one has come from the Military Control Commission?"
"Here you come." Li Shuangqian replied honestly, "There are dozens of them, the son of the turtle, and I want to steal people. In the end, I caught them all in anger."
"Old Li, you have caused a big disaster, and the Military Control Commission is not easy to mess with." Gao Shenxing shouted strangely.
"Hammer is afraid that their military command will be allowed to let them come over." Li Shuangqin sneered, "Besides, they say they are military commanders or military commanders? There is no evidence? I also say they are traitors."
"Okay, just catch it. It's no big deal." Xu Shijiu waved his hand and asked again, "But those drugs are of great importance. Have you sent someone to send them out?"
"No, it's still stored in the village."
"What are you saying? That batch of medicines has not been sent out?" Xu Shijiu couldn't help but slapped his forehead. He was also in a hurry to attack the county town at that time, so he forgot to explain it to Li Shuangqin. Later, after taking down the county town, he was even more eager to recruit soldiers, so he threw this matter behind his head. Now, it might have been a big mistake.
During the De'an Battle last year, Xue Yue's army suffered from malaria, and many veterans of the 19th Brigade also died of malaria, so they were very clear about the importance of this batch of drugs. If this batch of drugs arrives one day late in western Jiangxi, maybe thousands of veterans will die of malaria. He immediately ordered Li Shuanggu to say: "Old Li, you should go back to Panshizhai now and bring people to send this batch of drugs out."
