There were more than 10 villages of various sizes around the entire Lotus Mountain, with a total population of about 5000 people.
The village closest to Lotus Mountain was called Li Family Village. It was located at the foot of Lotus Mountain and had a population of less than 500.
Wang Xiaoshi went there to take a look and found that the lives of the common people were very poor. The area of cultivated land was relatively small to begin with. In addition to all kinds of exorbitant taxes, in the end, they could not even fill their stomachs.
Ever since the Japanese invaded, they had been collecting food everywhere. The lives of the common people had become even worse.
Wang Xiaoshi planned to turn Lotus Mountain into a paradise so that the surrounding villages could live a life of ample food and clothing. He really wanted to take back the land and distribute it uniformly.
However, this would deepen the conflict with the landlord class, so he postponed this plan. After the troops were trained next spring, the Japanese would not dare to come and rob the grain.
In order to solve the people's current food shortage, he could only take out all his money to buy food, and then use the food to pay for their wages, so that the people could repair the roads on Lotus Mountain.
He also wanted to open up an empty space in the back mountain to build an arsenal.
As for the small road to the county, he did not plan to build it yet.
After the rest, the brothers deeply understood what it meant to be unable to live or die.
Wang Xiaoshi had used the methods he had used to train the special forces in his previous life on them.
Not only did they need to be trained in individual combat, but they also needed to be trained in teamwork.
Every day, she had to use up a large amount of ammunition, which made Bai He Hua's heart ache so much that she sucked in a cold breath.
At night, other than cultural classes, they also had to learn various tactics. The teacher was naturally Wang Xiaoshi.
In the blink of an eye, it was December 27th.
The weather was getting colder and colder.
The snow continued to fall.
The entire Lotus Mountain was covered in white. The people who were repairing the road could only rest, but the construction of the village did not stop.
On a small road leading to the village, the five of them walked forward step by step, their feet creaking on the snow.
"Political commissar, how much longer do we have to walk? Why don't we find a place to rest for a while?”
"Soon, we'll be there after crossing another mountain. Everyone, work harder.”
Zhao Li said while panting heavily.
When the five of them climbed over the mountain, they were already too tired to get up. When they saw the Lotus Mountain in the distance, Zhao Li smiled.
At the same time.
On the right side of Lotus Mountain, there was a newly built sentry tower. The sentry soldiers saw five people carrying guns walking towards them, so they immediately sounded the gong.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang clang clang…"
"There's a situation."
" Everyone, enter level one combat readiness."
It was time for dinner. The people who had finished eating were taking a walk on the field. When the people who were carrying bowls heard the gong, they did not care about eating and immediately returned to the house to get their guns.
"Calm down, the gong sounds are three long and two short. There are no more than 10 people on the other side.”
Wang Xiaoshi placed the bowl on the ground and said to the people unhurriedly. Then, he walked out leisurely.
Bai He Hua also followed them. When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the village, they found five people walking over the vast snow.
Wang Xiaoshi immediately raised his vigilance. The stronghold was currently building a fortress. The original gate had long been demolished. If the Japanese attacked now, they might not be able to stop them.
"Wang Xiaoshi seems to be in front of Political Commissar Zhao.”
Bai He Hua said as she looked through the binoculars.
"What is she doing here at this time?”
Wang Xiaoshi frowned. He could now see clearly that the person who came was Zhao Li.
About 30 minutes later, Zhao Li and the others arrived at the entrance of the village.
She glanced at the fortress that was being built. He was very surprised. It seemed that this Wang Xiaoshi really had some skills.
"Sister Zhao, what brings you here?”
"Sister He Hua, your Lotus Mountain has changed.”
The two girls exchanged greetings enthusiastically.
"Brother, I heard that you guys won a beautiful victory some time ago and killed more than 200 Japanese. It's really not simple!”
"Sister Zhao, you can't call Wang Xiaoshi like that anymore. He's now the commander of the Anti-Japanese Army.”
Before Wang Xiaoshi could say anything, Bai He Hua answered first with a teasing smile on her face.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days.”
Zhao Li stared at Wang Xiaoshi in surprise. When she saw the military uniforms on the two of them, Zhao Li thought,"I didn't hear that they were recruited. What's going on?”
"Haha…"
Bai He Hua smiled and told Zhao Li everything.
"I say, Deputy Commander, you're also a member of the army now. Why didn't you salute him just now? I'm going to deduct your points."
Wang Xiaoshi was afraid that Bai He Hua would reveal all her secrets, so he quickly changed the topic and gave Zhao Li a standard military salute.
"I say, Political Commissar Zhao, I don't know how many of you have come to my Lotus Mountain in the heavy snow.”
"Commander Wang, this time we came here to discuss something important with you. Don't you welcome us?”
Zhao Li wanted to hold her belly and laugh. The question that had been troubling her had finally been answered. It turned out that this kid wanted to do it alone.
"You're welcome."
Wang Xiaoshi smiled awkwardly and made a welcoming gesture.
Soon after, the group arrived at the training ground. Zhao Li's mouth was wide open again."Brother, you really surprised me this time. Building so many houses must require a lot of cement. Where did you get these things?”
Wang Xiaoshi knew that he would definitely ask this question. The county did not sell cement at all.
He could only smile and say,"Political Commissar Zhao, you must be hungry after walking so far. Let's eat first. We'll talk about anything after eating."”
"Then let the guest follow the host."
Zhao Li also turned around. She knew that Wang Xiaoshi did not want to say it.
After arriving at the kitchen, Zhao Li was shocked to see that the kitchen was brightly lit.
"Brother, you have to tell me properly this time. When did you use electricity?”
Wang Xiaoshi wanted to beat the person who turned on the lights to death. The sky wasn't too dark yet. Why did he turn on the lights so early?
Seeing Zhao Li's eager expression, Wang Xiaoshi knew that he could not avoid it this time.
He could only explain," I ambushed them last time and found a generator and lighting equipment among the seized supplies, so I took them back. I don't know where the Japanese brought these things from.”
"Maybe the heavens pity our village!”
Zhao Li nodded, looking as if she had suddenly realized something. However, Bai He Hua asked in confusion,""Last time, you said the exact opposite. Didn't you say that these things were pulled back from the county?”
"I was joking with you."
Wang Xiaoshi was so angry that his teeth itched. He really wanted to press her to the ground and beat her up.
"Even if you're joking with me, when did you go out? Why didn't I know?"
"I went out alone at night and didn't have time to tell you.”
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
She knew that Wang Xiaoshi had never told the truth.
"Alright, He Hua, don't get to the bottom of it. I'm starving. Let's eat first!”Zhao Li said. (Flower evaluation)
