Xue Yue had just been transferred from the Battle of Lanfeng. His troops were responsible for the lake defense from Shengjiazui to Xingzi, preventing the Japanese army from invading south of Jiujiang in an attempt to occupy Nanchang, and then occupy Changsha, Hunan and the Guangdong-Han Railway, and surround Wuhan from the south.
He had a very pleasant meal in Xiajia Village, Longhu Mountain, and left amidst the laughter of everyone.
The old patriarch put away his smile and said to Meng Da: "Our Xia family is very satisfied with your boy's determination to fight against Japan, but you don't know that your parents and family have already started to save money and reduce food in order to raise funds. It's not easy.
, with more than 60,000 troops, plus so many refugees, you have squandered all the Xia family’s lifetime accumulation!"
How could Meng Da not know that the civilian army needs two million silver dollars for a year's consumption, and the little devils will not finish it for ten or eight years. I am afraid that they will not be able to support themselves without food, drink, and clothing. He said sadly: "The Xia family is completely bankrupt.
No matter what, as long as I can protect the people of the two counties from the war, it is worth it. But, I am tired of the old man who has been wronged."
"I don't have as much wealth as your parents, but I still have three to five hundred thousand taels of silver. Boy, kill the Japanese ruthlessly. This is my dowry for my daughter!"
"No!" Meng Da stood up in a hurry and said with shame: "I have already destroyed a family, and I can't let you suffer anymore."
"Nonsense!" The old patriarch raised his beard angrily and said angrily: "I heard that Hans gave you a division's weapons and equipment for his daughter. Now I am giving you six girls. Do you think you have too little money?
Can’t make it?”
"If I accept this child, how will your old man live?" Meng Da was embarrassed. If he persisted, he might be angry.
"Hey, I only have this daughter. If she marries you, of course I need you to support me. Don't worry, it's a burden to keep all this money. Sooner or later, it won't all be yours?" The old patriarch smiled with satisfaction.
Mengda must be made to admit this marriage as soon as possible. He is satisfied to entrust his daughter to a good man.
Zhu Jiahua fell into deep thought. The Xia family could have lived a well-fed and well-fed life alone, but they sacrificed their life's accumulation in order to resist Japan and satisfy their son's wish to lead troops to fight the Japanese. Now the old patriarch is like this again, and he is excited in his heart.
Touched and admired. Meng Da is also very difficult, but he has no financial strength, so it has become a dream to help his disciples.
Mengda thought secretly: "The treasure in the crypt cannot be retrieved in a short time, so we must find a comprehensive solution as soon as possible. If this continues, he will become the sinner of the family of the benefactor who raised him for the ages. But what can be done to ensure that nothing goes wrong?
What? What if you enter the crypt and can’t come out?”
Luo Zhuoying was so moved that he couldn't say a word. This family paid a heavy price for the resistance against Japan, but was mistrusted by Chiang Kai-shek. He secretly thought: "I can't help him with anything else, but I can still find a way to get him some ammunition."
of."
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!" Meng Da raised his head firmly and smiled happily: "I have to say goodbye too. The defense pressure in Panyang County is not small. We can't let Commander Xue be blamed for delaying the defense of the defense zone here.
Cut off the head."
"Take all your wives away," the old patriarch said while holding back his laughter.
"Ah, I am going to fight! Besides, they are a group of children!" Meng Da was taken aback, sat down and thought for a while and said: "The quintuplet girls were sent to school with the elder sisters in Hong Kong. The war will not last forever.
They must not delay their future lives because of the war."
"Just in time, I'm going to Hong Kong." Zhu Jiahua hurriedly interjected. He agreed with Meng Da's analysis and his arrangement for the future of these children.
When everyone walked out of Xiajia Village to see Meng Da off, they found a martial arts confrontation taking place at the entrance of the village. They couldn't help but stood down and watched. Xia Ying, who was wearing a tight-fitting white satin dress, was fighting inextricably with Xiao Hou from the shotgun brigade.
Meng Da shouted in surprise: "Hey, Xia Ying practices horizontal kung fu. I have never heard of girls practicing this kind of martial arts."
The old patriarch smiled cheerfully and said: "Longhu Mountain is the birthplace of Master Zhang, and his descendants have been practicing on the mountain. This is a set of thunder palm techniques. Ying'er and Xiaolian have practiced it with the old Taoist nun for more than ten years.
Year."
"Grandpa, are you willing to take Xia Ying away now?" Meng Da looked at the powerful boxing skills, and his heart was already filled with joy. These girls are not simple, and everyone who joins the shotgun brigade is a good player.
"I don't want to let go of my children, but I can't trap the wolf." The old patriarch laughed strangely.
"Hahahaha." Luo Zhuoying sneezed and laughed, and whispered in Meng Da's ear: "You wolf, be careful, don't get eaten by them!"
"I'm really scared!" Meng Da stuck out his tongue playfully and shouted to Wang Yong: "The target is Panyang County, let's go!"
"yes!"
Poyang County is surrounded by mountains in the northeast and lakes in the southwest. It slopes from northeast to southwest, forming low mountains, hills, lake areas, and plains in sequence. Panyang County is rich in cotton, aquatic products, oil, rice, and fruits. No wonder it is called the land of plenty. The troops arrived
Here, Meng Da quickly hid the independent division and all the troops. After setting up the artillery positions, he took Zhang Shun and Wang Yun'er and walked towards the county seat.
"Half of the ten-mile long street is filled with merchants, and thousands of houses are lit up all day long." Walking on Zhongzheng Street, Mengda was shocked by this five-mile-long commercial street. One street and two rows are full of carpentry, carving, engraving, and blacksmithing.
There are hundreds of traditional handicraft industries including bambooware, musical instruments, painting, paper binding, tailoring, embroidery, winemaking, butchering, catering, hairdressing, etc., including many century-old shops.
Walking into a teahouse, I saw an old man who was telling stories and was reciting the story of the sneak attack on Anqing. The old man had a loud voice and clear articulation: "Everyone, it is really embarrassing to say that the crazy commander is the commander. The Japanese army has just occupied Anqing.
Soon, large quantities of supplies were being transported here from Shanghai and Nanjing, and when they were preparing to launch an attack on the Wuhan government, the lunatic commander entered the city on a night of heavy rain."
Wang Yun'er chuckled and whispered to Meng Da: "How did you become a madman?"
"Hush!" Mengda was never merciless in killing Japanese, but he didn't expect that the people would give him the nickname Crazy Commander. He smiled and thought: "I would like to hear how crazy the Crazy Commander is."
"The madman commander secretly entered the city with his mysterious troops. Like tigers and wolves, this group of people used knives to cut the throats of all the Japanese troops at the south city gate. After the city gate was opened, the civilian army troops and tens of thousands of transport civilians entered the city.
"
"Quack, quack, quack!" Wang Yun'er couldn't help but laugh, jumped up on the podium, and pushed the old gentleman away rudely. She slapped the gavel with a snap, and her clear voice was like a bird singing: "Anqing
In the battle, the people's army invested in the independent division, the 10th Preliminary Division, the 11th Preliminary Division and the Artillery Division. The most dangerous thing was not to capture Anqing, but to ensure a certain transportation time for the teams transporting supplies.
The artillery division set up dozens of positions on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The Japanese warships were quite powerful, but they were defeated and fled under the artillery fire of the civilian army. Outside Anqing City, the independent division held on to its position, trying to give the reinforcing Japanese troops a blow.
A head-on blow..."
Wang Yun'er was articulate and emotional, and the people in the teahouse were mesmerized. She told the complete story of the Battle of Anqing, and used exaggerated language to describe the battle of the crazy commander. Meng Da laughed while listening.
My whole body is shaking, this girl is so capable of doing anything!
The commentary said that at the critical moment, Wang Yun'er found Meng Da and Zhang Shun walking out of the teahouse. She jumped up from the podium with a sudden rush in her heart, and her body swayed like a bolt of lightning and flew out. The people in the teahouse grew up in shock.
With her mouth closed, could this girl be the incarnation of a fairy?
"Hahahaha!" Seeing Wang Yun'er chasing after him, Meng Da couldn't help but laugh wildly: "Okay, you have this unique skill, do it for me every day."
Seeing the commander with a smirk on his face teasing her, Wang Yun'er said regretfully: "It's a pity that you left without collecting the money after I said it for a long time. I'm hungry, let's go to a restaurant to have a meal."
Meng Da was about to go to the restaurant, but his face suddenly changed slightly, and he looked at the passers-by on the street in surprise. He observed for a moment and said to Zhang Shun: "Quickly, notify the shotgun brigade to enter the city, and let the independent division ambush outside the city, little devil
Prepare for a sneak attack!"
"Ah!" Wang Yun'er was so surprised that she almost shouted loudly. She glanced at the street and quickly confirmed that there were some suspicious people.
"Yes!" Zhang Shun glanced at Wang Yun'er with dissatisfaction, agreed in a low voice and ran away.
Things were so sudden that Xue Yue did not expect that the Japs would first choose Panyang County to attack. Meng Da thought the same. The target of the Japanese attack was Wuhan, and Panyang County is located in the northeast of Nanchang. Meng Da, who walked into the restaurant, was beside the table
Thinking urgently: "What is the purpose of the Japanese? Are they going to attack Nanchang from Panyang County via Leping? Impossible!"
Meng Da believes that the Japs’ target is Wuhan. The Japanese army wants to destroy the main force of the Japanese army in one fell swoop, so that the entire land of China can be conquered. But the Japs will not send troops blindly. Is it to collect food and grass? It’s possible! Figure it out.
Meng Da couldn't help but smile after understanding the Japanese's motives.
Wang Yun'er was cunning and weird, but she didn't dare to disturb Meng Da when she was thinking. Seeing the young commander smile, she exhaled and asked in a low voice: "Are we going to fight again?"
"Yes." Meng Da responded softly and glanced around the hotel: "Go and tell Lu Shijie and ask him to quickly find out how many people the Japs have landed."
"yes!"
When Meng Da led the two clever ghosts into the city, Wang Yong had already entered the city with the hunting rifle team in disguise. As soon as Wang Yuner walked out, Xiao Houhou and the team leader flashed in. The three of them had already finished the battle while they were eating.
Deployment. The hot-tempered girl ran in, lay on Meng Da's back and blew gently: "The Japanese army only has one brigade!"
"Oh?" Meng Da looked at Wang Yun'er in surprise: "Are the Japanese soldiers too arrogant? Do you dare to attack even a large group?"
"It's not that the Japanese army is arrogant, it's that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is so disappointing! I heard that in the Battle of Lanfeng, a small group of Japanese troops dared to fight a Japanese division, and even defeated the Eighty-Eighth Division."
"There are many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Meng Da listened to Wang Yong's lament and angrily hummed: "The Japanese may sneak attack at night, let them in, and annihilate them on the spot at the west gate!"
