Zhao Jie felt strange after hearing the propaganda soldier's words.
The people of Yang Village had close ties with Tiger Head Mountain, so why would they follow the bandits?
A soldier who was not properly organized chose to become a bandit. This was not something a normal person could do.
It was really strange.
But no matter what, he had no way to explain to his leader after returning to Tiger Head Mountain.
At the very least, he had to investigate the situation.
"Comrades, give chase!" Zhao Jie ordered.”
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, the ruffian-faced man at the back of the team received a report from his subordinate.
"Big brother, big brother, not good!"
"Call me Battalion Commander!"
After the ruffian-faced man corrected his subordinate, he asked in a deep voice,
"What's wrong?"
"Eight Paths is chasing us."
The ruffian-faced man frowned."
"Eight Paths is chasing us?"
"We don't mind our own business.”
"Brothers, grab your weapons!"
"Yes, sir!"
The ruffian-faced man remembered Xu Hu's warning and said to his men,
"We've been training with Chief for so long, we can't let others look down on us.”
"All of you, focus!"
"Dealing with the Eighth Route is different from dealing with the Japanese.”
"No one is allowed to shoot without my order!”
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jie's voice came from behind.
"Wait!"
"Are you all the heroes of Clear Wind Camp?”
The ruffian turned around and said seriously,"
"That's right, that's right!"
With a wave of his hand, the men behind him all put away their guns.
Seeing this, Zhao Jie quickly took a glance and put away his gun, indicating for his platoon members to put away their guns.
Then, he cupped his fists and saluted.
"Brothers, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Clear Wind Camp and our 8th Route Army have never interfered with each other.”
"The people you took away were all villagers of Yang Village.”
"These comrades are considered our logistics personnel and are under the protection of our Tiger Head Mountain Eighth Route Army.”
"Did you guys rob the wrong person?”
The ruffian frowned when he heard this.
"Aiya, little comrade, that's not right.”
"These people are also brothers who share the same sentiments as our Clear Wind Camp and are working together to resist the Japanese pirates.”
"We didn't kidnap anyone. We're recruiting people openly.”
"The people of Yang Village are under the protection of the Eighth Route Army, and they are also under the protection of our Clear Wind Camp.”
"Ever since our Clear Wind Camp fought the devils with Leader Ye, we have only robbed devils and never villagers. When we encountered difficulties, we even sent food.”
"Now that our Clear Wind Camp is developing, it's not too much to recruit people from Yang Village, right?”
"Our Clear Wind Camp and your Eighth Route Army are both fighting against the Japanese pirates.”
"How did the people we painstakingly recruited become the logistics personnel of your Eighth Route Army? Is there a system?"
"Brothers, retreat."
"Wait!"
Zhao Jie's face darkened as he said,"
"Brother, Commander Qiu ordered us to recruit soldiers in Yang Village. Now that you've taken them away, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to explain yourself when you go back.”
"So I'm afraid you'll have to leave these people behind.”
"At least let us communicate with the villagers before letting them decide for themselves.”
"What? Leave everything behind?"
The ruffian-faced man's expression turned ugly, but he did not flare up.
At this moment, a hot-tempered soldier in his camp raised his gun and scolded,
"F * ck him, are you being unreasonable? You dare to snatch someone from Clear Wind Camp? I'm already giving you face by not beating you up.”
"I think your skin is itching today!”
"Your Commander Qiu has an order, so does our Leader Ye!”
These words caused the atmosphere to become tense.
Zhao Jie's subordinates were not short of people with strong personalities. They retorted on the spot,
"What are you talking about? How dare you talk to our platoon leader like this? Do you want to die?”
They were all old men who resisted the Japanese, and the atmosphere exploded.
"Damn it, you're courting death!"
A hero raised his gun on the spot.
The Eighth Route Army reacted quickly and raised their guns.
However, Zhao Jie realized something was wrong.
Although they were all using rifles made in Hanyang, the quality of the guns used by the bandits in Clear Wind Camp was obviously better.
Moreover, they were very particular about the way they held their spears.
In a few seconds, they were divided into two rows.
A row of shoulder shots and a row of squatting shots.
Moreover, the people automatically separated and stood according to a certain pattern.
This way, he could balance the needs of accuracy and quick response, and he could also avoid casualties.
Everyone was aiming at a soldier of the Eighth Route Army.
Then, a group of people rushed out from behind the haystack in the distance and protected the villagers of Yang Village.
Everything was very natural, flowing like water.
This military quality was not simple.
Even when they encountered the elite troops of the Japanese, they did not feel this kind of oppression.
On the other hand, his side was a little chaotic.
Everyone shot from their shoulders and squeezed into a ball, exposing all their vital points.
Most of the guns were pointed at the ruffian's face, not caring about the bandits with guns.
If they really fought, they might not be able to defeat these bandits. Even the entire platoon of soldiers might lose their lives.
Zhao Jie was shocked, and his back was sweating profusely.
His subordinates were all new recruits, and they were all young. This was the future of the Tiger Head Mountain base.
If he died in the hands of the bandits, he would be a sinner of the Independent Regiment as a newly promoted platoon leader.
Just as Zhao Jie was thinking of a countermeasure, the ruffian-faced man laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha!"
He was very careful and gave Zhao Jie a way out.
"Forget it, forget it. Seeing that you are all anti-Japanese troops…"
"Brothers, put down your guns and talk properly. Don't use knives and spears.”
"Eighth Route Army comrades, we don't need to wait for you to return. We can let the villagers make the decision now.”
"Listen up, our Clear Wind Stronghold has its own way of robbing. We only rob the devils, and the number of devils we kill is no less than that of the regular army.”
"Besides, we don't have that many rules. It mainly depends on our ability to fight the Japanese.”
"We won't force you. Resisting the Japanese is resisting the Japanese no matter where you go.”
"Brothers who are willing to follow the 8th Route Army, step forward!”
Zhao Jie cupped his fists in gratitude.
"Thanks."
However, after the ruffian-faced man finished speaking, no one stood up.
Zhao Jie and the soldiers in his platoon were all stunned.
"Comrades, do you want to become bandits?”
At this moment, a villager from Yang Village said,
"We're heroes! Not bandits!"
"Yes, a hero of the forest!"
"Eighth Route Army comrades, I can't stand the hardships you're going through. The treatment in Clear Wind Camp is better, so don't make things difficult for us.”
“……”
When the ruffian-faced man saw that no one was leaving with the Eighth Route Army, he admired Ye Chen even more.
The boss's route was indeed not wrong. Before recruiting people, they had to do publicity first. Otherwise, the people they had painstakingly recruited would all have to run away with No. 8.
"Comrade, did you see that? This was the villagers 'own choice.”
"For the sake of your Commander Qiu, I'll give you a favor as a brother.”
"Brothers, retreat!"
The people of Clear Wind Camp left in an orderly manner.
Zhao Jie stood rooted to the ground, doubting his life.
Since when were bandits so popular?
"Platoon leader, platoon leader!"
A soldier shook Zhao Jie awake.
"Are we just going to let them go? How are we going to explain this to the Guild Leader?"
"Tell me the truth!"
Zhao Jie was also angry. He asked,
"Are we going to fight with these bandits? Who's responsible for hurting the villagers?"
"Retreat!"
“……”
