"It's fine, Sixth Brother. Take the soldiers of the guard company to the village entrance immediately. Let's take care of the things here. Make sure to arrange for the rest of the comrades. Huzi, you and Captain Hao hurry back to the regiment and transfer the comrades from the county brigade over to help distribute the food tomorrow. Today, we will distribute all the food in Li Mantun's house to the villagers and transport the rest back to the regiment.”He then turned around and said to the 30 odd servants,""You guys should go back too. Remember to come back with your family tomorrow morning to collect the food.”
Bai Yihua looked at Li Mantun on the brick bed and said to the soldier beside him,""Drag him away. Keep an eye on this woman."
Early the next morning, Hao Yan brought her comrades from the county brigade to the Li family's courtyard. They saw that all the villagers of the Li family village had gathered in front of the Li family's courtyard. They were holding bags and waiting to distribute food.
Bai Yihua also woke up very early. He went to Li Mantun's wife and explained the current situation and the necessity of the grain collection to her. Then he came to the gate and said loudly to the people waiting at the gate,"My fellow villagers, I am Bai Yihua from the Pingxi Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment. Today, we asked for food from Li Mantun in your village. Not only did he not obey us, but he also sent people to attack us. This was the consequence of being a traitor. Now, the comrades of the county brigade were distributing food to everyone. Fellow villagers, this is just emergency food. If we want to ensure that we have food to eat, we have to plant the land well and protect the food in our land. We can't let the devils snatch it away again. Alright, I won't say anymore. Let's start distributing the food.”
At this moment, there was an old man in his seventies in the crowd. He listened to Bai Yihua's speech and carefully observed the three red whiskers on Bai Yihua's face. He muttered,"The heavens sent the little white dragon to the lower realm to save us commoners.”
A young man beside him asked in confusion,"Grandpa, how did you know?"
The old man said," Look at the three red whiskers on the red mole on Captain Bai's upper lip. Those are dragon whiskers. My grandfather told me that most dragons have these three red whiskers when they take human form. Our people are saved."
Hence, Bai Yihua had another name for himself, Little White Dragon, in Pingxi. This was the second time he had been called the Little White Dragon. The food was quickly distributed to the people. After Bai Yihua and the others finished their work, they gathered their troops. Just as they were about to set off, the 30 or so servants of the Li family ran over. They requested to fight the Japanese with Commander Bai. Bai Yihua looked at the 38 large covers in their hands and happily accepted them. Just like that, they quickly returned to the regiment headquarters.
In the regiment headquarters, Bai Yihua looked at Hao Yan and laughed. Hao Yan made Bai Yihua laugh embarrassedly. She rebuked Bai Yihua and said,"What are you laughing at?" Bai Yihua smiled and said," I really couldn't tell. Captain Hao, you're really decisive. I didn't even think of killing Li Mantun."”Hao Yan said," This Li Mantun is too arrogant. According to our county brigade's opinion, we have long wanted to get rid of him. He dares to openly challenge us just because he has a few guns in his hand. This is something I can't tolerate."”
Bai Yihua thought for a moment and said,"It's fine to get rid of such a hardcore traitor. It won't be of much use."”
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. After dealing with Li Mantun, the local rich men in Pingxi base readily agreed to Bai Yihua's request because they knew that losing their lives meant losing everything. Although they had also met a certain person who wanted money more than their lives, when that cold gun was pointed at their heads, they gave up money and chose their lives. In this way, Bai Yihua and the others solved the problem of food in Pingxi base in less than half a month. Because the autumn harvest would be in two months, the people in the base would not have to worry about food.
Once the problem was solved, the cooperation between Bai Yihua and Hao Yan would end. It was time to break up. To be honest, Bai Yihua was still a little reluctant to break up. In fact, Hao Yan was the same. Bai Yihua seemed to have seen Juan Zi again during his time with Hao Yan. Bai Yihua felt that he was with Juan Zi during this period of time. Through this half a month of contact, Hao Yan also discovered that there were many things she needed to learn from Bai Yihua. She also thought of her brother.
However, breaking up was necessary. This morning, Hao Yan gathered the members of the county brigade and came to Bai Yihua."Captain Bai, we'll be leaving now. Ten of us will share our gratitude to your independent regiment for helping us. You have to take care of yourself."
"We're family, so don't talk nonsense. Without the support of the county brigade and the people, it would be difficult for us to survive. Although we are fighting in the same area, it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future. I don't have any valuable gifts for you. This is what I seized from the Japanese in the last battle at Yanhe City. I'm giving it to you. I just don't know if you like it. Please accept it." As he spoke, he took a telescope from the guard Xiaowang and handed it to Hao Yan.
When Hao Yan saw that it was a telescope, she immediately cried out,"A pair of binoculars. That's great. I've always wanted a pair of binoculars, but I never had the chance to get one. Thank you so much, Captain Bai. But Captain Bai, I don't have any gifts for you.”
Bai Yihua waved his hand and said,"I don't want you to give me any gifts. As long as you live well and fight more devils, it's the best gift for me." In the future, he had to pay attention to his safety in the war. Bullets don't have eyes."
The two of them broke up just like that. What Hao Yan didn't expect was that not long after they broke up, they got back together.
Bai Yihua's series of battles in Pingxi not only crushed the Japanese's sweep of Pingxi Anti-Japanese Base, but also dealt a blow to the power of the traitors and landlords in the base. This gave the Japanese army in Beiping a headache. In order to disrupt the normal working order and regional peace in the base area, they had another plan, which was to send a large number of traitors to the base area to carry out sabotage activities. They killed and set fire to the base area, caused explosions, and harmed the anti-Japanese cadres in our area. He was extremely arrogant.
The Wanping County government informed the Independent Regiment of several incidents in which the spies had engaged in sabotage: One was that Jiang Shan, the chief of the reconnaissance department of the county government, went to Beiping to pick up a batch of military supplies obtained by the Beiping underground party. No one expected that he would be kidnapped by a group of spies on the way back, and Jiang Shan also sacrificed himself. A few days ago, the county government had sent people to the second district office to pick up a batch of food, but they were attacked by spies. Three people were killed and the food was burned. There was also an explosion in the district office of the fourth district, causing the death of two officers. This was also done by the spies lurking in the base.
After Bai Yihua received these reports, he did not sleep for two days. He was thinking about how to eliminate this group of spies lurking in the base area and eliminate this great disaster for the base area. The outline of the Chute Plan formed in Bai Yihua's mind.
Therefore, Bai Yihua asked the security officer, Xiao Wang, to find Wang Zhenjun and prepare to let him go to Wanping County Government with him.
Walking on the road to Wanping County Government, Bai Yihua told Wang Zhenjun his thoughts. He said to Wang Zhenjun,"Whether you agree or not, I have decided. This is an order, and you must carry it out. If you have any ideas, wait until you come back.”
Wang Zhenjun promised Bai Yihua,"I will resolutely obey the order." Moreover, he would definitely complete this mission well.”Wang Daijun was now completely in awe of Bai Yihua, so as long as it was Bai Yihua, he would firmly obey.
Bai Yihua patted Wang Zhenjun's shoulder and said,""That's right. A soldier's duty is to obey orders.”
As they spoke, the few of them arrived at the gate of Wanping County Government. It just so happened that Jiao Ruoyu was about to leave. When he saw Bai Yihua, he stretched out his hand from afar and strode over to welcome him."I was wondering why the magpies outside my house were chirping non-stop this early in the morning. So it turns out that your distinguished guest, Little White Dragon, has arrived. Little White Dragon, your reputation is much greater than mine.”
Bai Yihua laughed out loud." Then I stole the limelight from County Head Jiao. You really can't blame me." There's no other way."
"That's a good steal," said County Head Jiao with a smile. Now that you're here, my heart will be at ease.”
