Chapter 2 Slaying Evil and Eliminating Hegemony 1-3
1
For half a month, Shanzi has been going back and forth to each recruit training ground.
This morning, Xiao Liu followed Shanzi into a spacious valley.
At this time, in Jiagu, Xiaolong was giving an assassination demonstration to the New Sixth Company, which Jin Ye was in charge of.
It was almost noon when a female soldier ran into Jiagu out of breath. This female soldier's surname was Feng. She was now over 18 years old. After the independent regiment was established, she was assigned to Yumei as a correspondent.
Walking up to Shanzi, Xiao Feng first gave a military salute: "Report to the regiment leader, Political Commissar Jiang asked you to return to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible."
Shanzi asked: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Feng replied: "We have guests."
Shanzi asked again: "Who?"
Xiao Feng said: "A man."
Shanzi said: "I asked who the guest was."
Xiao Feng then said: "I don't know him."
Shan Zi was too lazy to say hello to Xiao Liu and left.
After a while, Shan Zi walked into the regiment headquarters and was shocked. The guest turned out to be Zhu Zihui.
Shanzi knew that since Zhu Zihui came to Quanquanling in person, there must be something important, so after some pleasantries, he motioned for Xiao Liu and Xiao Feng to leave the scene.
Sure enough, Zhu Zihui brought a lot of information——
Due to the endless emergence of anti-Japanese organizations in villages and towns, the Japanese and puppet troops who went to perform tasks in the countryside were often attacked. Anto was furious and established a plainclothes team to deal with these underground armed forces.
Zhu Zihui went on to say that there were fifty-two people in the plainclothes team, all composed of puppet troops. Since the establishment of the plainclothes team, there have been plainclothes dogs at all times, both in urban and rural areas, day and night.
The second piece of information Zhu Zihui brought was that Ando had once again recruited more than 300 people for the security group. So far, recruitment is still continuing.
In view of the fact that the Ando Brigade was repeatedly hit hard by the independent battalion after entering Qiaonan and suffered heavy losses, it attracted great attention from the top brass of the Japanese army and listed Qiaonan as a key occupied area.
The 109th Division stationed in Zhouzhuang has decided to use a regiment of troops, with the division's chief of staff, Major General Ishii, as the overall commander, to launch a serious winter sweep of the independent battalion.
Zhu Zihui said that the reason why the Japanese army set the raid time in winter was because at that time there were no vegetation in the fields and wilderness, making it easier to search and observe.
To ensure the reliability of this information, Shanzi asked Zhu Zihui about the source and channels of the information.
Zhu Zihui told Shanzi that because the deputy head of the security team was transferred to the plainclothes team as captain, Zhu Yuankui promoted him to deputy head. He attended the security meeting held by Ando the day before yesterday and learned this information.
But for some reason, Zhu Zihui's eyes suddenly became wet as soon as he finished speaking, and he asked Shan Zi to kill Zhu Yuankui no matter what and avenge her daughter.

It turns out that Zhu Zihui has a daughter named Miao Miao, who happens to be eighteen years old this year.
Upon hearing the name Miao Miao, Shanzi and Yumei were both stunned.
Yumei was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shanzi: "Uncle Zhu, please continue."
Zhu Zihui went on to say——
More than a month ago, Zhu Yuankui returned to Zhujiazhuang to celebrate the birthday of the old man Zhu Batian. When he walked into the village entrance, he happened to meet Miaomiao on the street.
When Zhu Yuankui saw Miao Miao's charming appearance, he suddenly became evil-minded and coaxed Miao Miao to come to his house as a helper.
Miao Miao knew that Zhu Yuankui had no good intentions and insisted on refusing on the pretext that something was wrong. Zhu Yuankui refused to give up and pestered Miao Miao.
In desperation, Miao Miao ran away.
Worried that Zhu Yuankui would come to her door, Miao Miao listened to her mother's words and went to hide in her second aunt's house.
Sure enough, at night, Zhu Yuankui brought four bags of snacks and two orderlies to the house to look for Miao Miao.
When he learned that Miao Miao was not there, Zhu Yuankui said fiercely that if he could escape the first day of the new year, he would not be able to escape the fifteenth day. If he didn't get Miao Miao, he would change his name.
In this way, Miao Miao was unable to return home, so she had to stay with her second aunt. During this period, Zhu Yuankui often returned to the village to look for Miao Miao.
Although he escaped Zhu Yuankui's clutches, because his father was working as a security guard, many people met Miao Miao. Some of them looked down upon her with cold eyes, and some even scolded her with some unpleasant and obscene words in front of her face.
The morning before yesterday, my brother gave autumn clothes to his sister.
I heard from the second aunt that one time Miao Miao was humiliated by a group of brats and asked the second aunt to go home. The second aunt tried to persuade her to stay, but Miao Miao refused.
Early the next morning, the second aunt personally sent Miao Miao out of the village. From then on, Miao Miao was nowhere to be seen alive or dead, and her whereabouts were unknown.
Speaking of this, two lines of tears could not help but fill Zhu Zihui's eyes.
Wiping away his tears, Zhu Zihui continued -
Cao Fulai's daughter-in-law is his cousin, she is beautiful and virtuous. Ever since Fulai joined the security team, Zhu Yuankui has been eyeing her.
On the day of Zhu Batian's birthday, Zhu Yuankui broke into his cousin's house in the afternoon.
Because his cousin resisted desperately, Zhu Yuankui was so angry that he ordered two orderlies to drag his cousin to the bed and forcibly strip her naked.
What's even more disgusting is that Zhu Yuankui also ordered the orderlies to take his cousin away and give it to Zhu Batian as a gift, forcing her to spend the night with Zhu Batian.
The cousin would rather die than obey, so Zhu Batian sent two concubines as accomplices to rape the cousin in front of her.
The locals all know that in the ten-mile-eight villages adjacent to Zhujiazhuang, a total of seven people died tragically at the hands of the Zhu family and his sons, and nine daughters-in-law and thirteen girls were raped.
After listening to Zhu Zihui's story, Shan Zi angrily decided to get rid of the Zhu family dog and his son within three days.
When Yumei finished talking about Miaomiao's whereabouts and journey, Zhu Zihui felt a mixture of sadness and joy, and couldn't help but cry.

Zhujiazhuang is located in the southeast of the county, about fifty miles away.
At one o'clock in the morning, two carriages stopped at the end of Zhujiazhuang Village, with a total of sixteen people on board.
Shanzi and Xiao Liu jumped off the carriage and walked straight to the village, where the carriage was waiting.
The walls of the Zhu family compound are high and thick, and the heavy gates are tightly closed. From the appearance, the entire compound looks like an indestructible castle.
According to Zhu Zihui, Zhu Batian had twenty servants, all of whom were equipped with long and short guns.
After a while, he sneaked into the front of the Zhu family compound. Shanzi was on guard with a gun. Xiao Liu, without knowing it, took a stack of folded papers and inserted a dagger nail into the vermilion wooden door.
Returning from the village, the carriage drove northwest for about ten kilometers and hid in a cemetery covered with pine trees to the east of the road.
In order to prevent Zhu Yuankui from returning to the village during the day, Shanzi deliberately acted in advance and waited at the first stop to eliminate evil and hegemony.
Not long after entering the cemetery, Xiao Liu received instructions from Shan Zi and began to change into the uniform of the Eighth Route Army. Xiao Zhang also changed into the uniform of the Japanese army with other soldiers.
As mentioned before, Xiao Zhang has become the platoon leader from the guard platoon, and in this operation, he plays the role of a Japanese second lieutenant officer.
When it was almost noon, Zhu Yuankui received the dagger and letter from the head of the servant——
At midnight today, please send 50,000 yuan to the gate of the temple in the south of the village. If you are late, you will not wait. If you dare to resist, you will be executed within three days.
After reading the content of the threat, Zhu Yuankui sneered: "Damn it, you dare to snatch meat from the tiger's mouth and eat it. It seems that you don't care about it. I don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuankui discussed the countermeasures with his servants in detail——
In the evening, he led a platoon to Zhujiazhuang and set up an ambush around the family temple in the south of the village. Then he returned home with the orderly soldiers and personally escorted Dayang.
After listening to Zhu Yuankui's explanation, the servant left in a hurry.
