Jiang Hailong glared at him and said sternly: "The anti-Japanese soldiers shed no tears. You and your troops must turn grief into strength, and together with the Anti-Japanese Tigers, fight against the Japanese invaders for all the sacrificed comrades and for the 40 million compatriots in China."
Revenge!"
"Yes!" Li Hong stood at attention and answered with tears streaming down his face.
The sound of gunfire was earth-shattering, and the soldiers fired collectively to bid farewell to the martyrs. There were new graves as far as the eye could see.
After the funeral, the surviving soldiers of Li Hong's independent battalion became excited and shouted. They took up arms and clamored for Li Hong to lead a team to seek revenge against the Japanese. The newly appointed deputy battalion commander tried to dissuade him, but was knocked to the ground by several soldiers.
.The troops suffered heavy casualties, and Li Hong felt very guilty. He dared not let the soldiers die. While he tried his best to comfort him, he secretly sent someone to call the captain.
Jiang Hailong walked over with a straight face. There was still commotion in the crowd. He glanced majestically at the audience, and the noise suddenly stopped.
Jiang Hailong said: "Let me tell you how the Indians hunt bears. The Indians hang big rocks on trees, smear honey on the rocks, and then hide. Bears who love honey come here to find out
Tasty, stood on its hind legs and pushed the stone with its front paws, trying to get it to the ground. The stone bounced back to the bear in a pendulum motion. After being hit and hurt, the bear angrily hit the stone with its paw in revenge. The angrier it was, the harder it used.
, the stone hit it harder, and finally the bear was knocked to the ground and fainted. The hunter came out and killed it without any effort, skinned and eaten the meat. This story illustrates a problem, blind revenge can kill yourself. Look at you
They look like a group of stupid bears! With no battle plan and no idea of the enemy's movements, how can you seek revenge against the Japanese? The Japanese are just waiting for you to seek death. My army only needs shrewd hunters who can kill the Japanese, not stupid bears.
If you don't want to leave, just listen to my arrangements and find the right opportunity to take revenge on the Japanese. If you want to leave now, please do so, I won't leave anyone behind!" The soldiers all lowered their heads silently.
He moved Li Hong's team to the mountain to rest and recuperate, and sent Li Tiezhu's first battalion to the foot of the mountain to change defenses. He convened a meeting of cadres above the company level to report the situation of the Japanese task force and tell everyone what to pay attention to.
Several common people covered in blood were brought to the station by the sentry. They were told that a group of Japanese soldiers had entered the village pretending to be the New Fourth Army. The villagers, who were unaware of the soldiers, shot them with machine guns without hesitation. A few of them hid under the dead people and pretended to be dead before escaping.
All the other villagers, men, women, and children were killed by the Japanese. Not far after they escaped, they saw the village burned into a sea of flames.
The next day, more than 400 villagers came to the camp and cried out that they were from a village at the foot of the mountain. The Japanese had robbed their food and burned down their houses. A fat translator asked them to flee quickly, saying that the imperial army was going to search for the Anti-Japanese Tigers.
Clear the obstacles. If you stay here, they will kill them all. They have killed many people in other villages.
Jiang Hailong thought that the translator had not lost his conscience after all. It seemed that unless the task force was eliminated, the surrounding villagers and his own troops would not be able to live in peace. He asked his subordinates to properly arrange for women, old and young, and said to more than a hundred young and middle-aged men:
"The devils burned your home and you are homeless. Instead of letting the devils slaughter you at will, why not pick up a gun and fight them to the death. You are a man and you are not afraid of death. Welcome to join our team!"
The leader, a mature man, said: "Sir, you have arranged for your family. We have nothing to worry about. I didn't say anything. If men want to die, we have already discussed it. We will all join your team and fight against the Japanese."
Jiang Hailong organized them into a recruit company, selected a dozen veteran soldiers from Liu Heizi's regiment to serve as the backbone, and led the new soldiers to train quickly.
In his mind, he analyzed the possible locations where the Japanese task force could be stationed, and thought of ways to deal with this group of extremely vicious guys. It was as if the martyrs had appeared from somewhere, and the telegraph operator came to report: The military commander had called and discovered the whereabouts of the Japanese task force.
.
Jiang Hailong unfolded the message sent by Zhou Jun, which read: "The Japanese task force is stationed in Hushan Town, and there was an internal strife with the Japanese garrison in the military camp today." Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, and a bold and careful revenge plan gradually took shape.
He decided to recall Li Ming, take the special agent company with him, and break into Hushan Town again. Li Ming knew Japanese, was calm-minded, and had quick thinking. He was indispensable to complete this plan. Seeing Li Hong kneeling in front of the grave of the deputy battalion commander, crying, he also
Decided to bring him with him. Li Hong was the former commander of the Imperial Army of Hushan Town. He was familiar with the terrain of the town and his skills were good. He was no worse than the ordinary soldiers of the special agent company. After suffering setbacks, he was trained strictly and still became a tiger general.
