Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao would never have imagined that the weapon issue had already been resolved in Dragon Boat Festival.
The weapons of the Kong family are very advanced. Although the more than twenty rifles are really not that good, the shell guns are good things.
All made from German goods, plus more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition, it is enough to form a rapid-fire team during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Of course, these weapons cannot be given to recruits who have never been on the battlefield. Otherwise, these good guns will become fire sticks.
Therefore, Duanwu found a group of people in Cheng Wanli's independent camp. These people had good marksmanship and fast shooting speed, and formed a fast rifle team.
This rapid-fire team is specially used to deal with the Japanese's group charges and hand-to-hand combat.
The rifles they replaced, plus the Kong family's original rifles, plus some old barrels eliminated from the county government, totaled about a hundred guns.
These one hundred guns are enough to support an escort team.
The county government transferred another thirty police officers, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, another squad of soldiers were selected from Cheng Wanli's independent battalion to serve as captains of each squad of the new recruits.
These people and the police will be responsible for the daily training of the new recruits, maintaining order, etc.
Therefore, this escort can ensure nothing goes wrong.
However, why is Duanwu so concerned about the safety of refugees?
Because at that time, there were simply too many bandits in the mountains. And in many places, they were more or less colluded with bandits.
Because you can imagine that bandits are bandits. Although they live in the mountains, if the local government really wants to eradicate them, it can still be done.
Therefore, as long as there are bandits, bullies, etc. causing trouble in the local area, they must collude with government officials, or the chief of the police station, etc. Otherwise, these local evil forces cannot survive.
So at that time, bandits were rampant and looting everywhere.
Although there are many righteous bandits among them, villains still make up the majority.
Those villains don't care who the people they pass through are, or how pitiful their identities are.
It is a kind act to steal something and then release it. There are many bandits who steal something and then kill.
There is no time during the Dragon Boat Festival, otherwise, just like these bandits in the city who are struggling to make money for the country, the Dragon Boat Festival will not let any of them go.
Therefore, for this transfer of refugees, Duanwu was considered to be the most benevolent and righteous, and personally saw Kong Hua off at the city gate.
Kong Hua is a miser. He doesn't want to leave Changshu because his roots are here.
Why does the Kong family have so much money to spend? It’s because of the more than 2,000 hectares of land in Changshu.
The Kong family does not need to do anything else, just the rent from these lands is enough for the Kong family to have food and clothing for generations to come.
Therefore, Kong Hua was unwilling to leave, let alone leaving this time. Dragon Boat Festival divided all the food stored by the Kong family. Kong Hua's weapons warehouse was also confiscated, which was like gouging out Kong Hua's heart.
Kong Yang naturally shared his anger with his father and questioned Dragon Boat Festival at the city gate.
But at this moment, Kong Xiang took out the note issued by Dragon Boat Festival and handed it to his father, hoping to calm her father's anger.
But he didn't want Kong Hua to take a look at the note, throw it on the ground and curse: "You stupid girl, what's the use of this thing? The note written by a small group leader is nothing when it arrives in Nanjing.
If I want my things back, do I still need him? If I say a word, his head will move."
With that said, Kong Hua pointed at Duanwu's nose and said: "Boy, if you took the things from my Kong family, you must come out with money now, and move these things back from my house. There will be transportation fees, damage fees, and missed work."
You will pay me not a penny of the fee, as well as the mental damages for wrongly accusing me of being a spy, and send them to my home. Otherwise, let alone a small regiment commander like you, Chen Yong of the 44th Division, too.
Heads fell to the ground."
"What's going on? The Kong family doesn't want to leave?"
"Yeah, don't tell me, the Kong family distributed food to everyone, so did they go to Nanjing just for safety?"
"Don't you know? The Kong family is a very wealthy family in Changshu. His family's land is all here. Where can he go?"
"So since the Kong family doesn't want to leave, does that mean Changshu is safe?"
"We have been fooled. Changshu is not that dangerous. It is these soldiers who are doing the trick?"
················
When the people around him heard Kong Hua's question, they began to murmur in their hearts. After all, Changshu was claimed to be guarded by a division. Can the Japanese really break in? Many people didn't believe it.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, when they saw Kong Hua acting recklessly and the people becoming restless again, they directly ordered: "Send Mr. Kong into the car and escort the Kong family out of the city."
The Dragon Boat Festival order was given to the policemen who were involved in escorting the Kong family and others. Four policemen grabbed Kong Hua and tried to push him into the car.
But Kong Hua accidentally threw away four policemen and rushed out of the crowd.
boom!
As soon as Kong Hua rushed out of the crowd, he was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground vomiting blood.
"Ah? Killed someone?"
But seeing that Kong Hua was dead, the people were extremely panicked and fled in all directions.
When Duanwu pushed aside the crowd and prepared to find the murderer, the man who fired the gun had already escaped without a trace.
"Dad, dad!"
"Master!"
At this moment, Kong Yang and Kong Xiang were crying for their fathers. The two ladies of the Kong family also gathered around and called their masters.
Kong Hua opened his eyes slightly and said without forgetting: "Take, take, take our money, remember to get it back... Uh!..."
After Kong Hua finished speaking, he stared dead in his eyes.
"father!"
"Master!..."
Kong Xiang and the two ladies cried loudly. But Kong Yang stood up like crazy, grabbed Duanwu's collar, and roared: "Why? Why did you kill my father? What did the Kong family do to offend you?"
?Why do you want to frame us like this?"
Duan Wu forcefully pulled away Kong Yang's hand and said: "I have been protecting your Kong family. Japanese spies have sneaked into the city. In order to create chaos, they will definitely attack the big family in Changshu, the Kong family.
I arrested you and your father in order to use the power of the army to protect you. In order to escort the Kong family out of the city, I did not hesitate to form an army.
But you have already reached the city gate, but you still refused to leave. And you rushed out of the crowd, exposing yourself to the guns of the Japanese spies.
Now tell me, are you, the Kong family, responsible for all of this?"
Duanwu asked loudly, leaving Kong Yang speechless.
He slowly knelt on the ground and said in a pleading tone: "Avenge my father! I beg you!"
Duanwu said resolutely: "Please rest assured, the blood debt will be repaid with blood. I will definitely find the spy who assassinated your father. But before that, all of you in the Kong family must leave as soon as possible. Because the spy
They will also launch an assassination operation against your Kong family, do you understand?..."
