Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

Shadan's heart warmed up, and he said with emotion: "Thanks to you kind-hearted people, our war of resistance will surely win, and the people will live a good life!"

Auntie Fat smiled and said, "That's great! I believe that when the army and the people are united, their strength will be invincible!"

Shadan nodded, chatted with Aunt Fat for a few more words, and then continued his patrol.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he must fight this battle well and live up to the people's expectations.

At the same time, looking back at the fat aunt who was walking away, it was with the help of these most simple and enthusiastic people that we could defeat Japanese imperialism and restore peace and prosperity to China.

"Aren't you going to give the other person a hand?"

I just heard that their family came here to escape famine. At this time, there were people fleeing famine everywhere in China.

If we want to fundamentally solve this problem, we have to establish a new China. After all, individual influence is very small, and it has to be left to the state to manage.

"Forget it. Everyone has their own blessings. What if it changes Aunt Fatty's fate?"

By the early morning, most of Datong's supplies had been delivered. Some of them, such as sleepers, were too heavy to be transported.

As for the 115rd and th Regiments that were sent to attack the reinforcements, they also came to report that they had wiped out the enemy, and the other five regiments of the th Division also repelled the enemy.

"What? The 42nd Division was defeated by the enemy?"

Upon hearing the news, not only Shadan was surprised, but even Lin Yu of the Kuomintang was extremely surprised.

"That's a division, and it was Lao Xi's own army. They were defeated by a regiment of the devils. This is the most ridiculous thing I heard today."

It was not a good thing. We were originally fighting against the Japanese together with the 42nd Division of the Kuomintang, but the 42nd Division was defeated by the Japanese reinforcements.

The 42nd Division must be very bad.

Now, not only Shadan was speechless, even Lin Yu was speechless.

Shadan took the report and looked at it carefully. Not only was the 42nd Division defeated, but even its artillery was seized by the enemy, which meant that the artillery was provided to the Japanese.

I was so angry that I wanted to curse.

"This 42nd Division is so cowardly!" Shadan said indignantly.

Lin Yu sneered, "It seems we can't count on them."

"So what should we do next?" asked Shadan.

"We can only rely on ourselves." Lin Yu's eyes were firm, "We must make good use of the existing troops and weapons and try to cause greater losses to the enemy."

Shadan nodded, "I understand. Not only will I inflict severe damage on the enemy, I will also annihilate them completely!" He secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

The two discussed the battle plan and decided to launch an attack on the Japanese army after dawn.

The Third, Fourth and Fifth Regiments were dispatched to attack the Japanese simultaneously, mainly to seize back the cannons they had captured.

The First and Second Regiments led the masses to evacuate Datong City and disappeared in the vast sea of ​​people.

This battle was completely easy for the three regiments.

It was equivalent to picking up the equipment left by the Kuomintang again. The battle of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was completely anticlimactic.

The independent brigade and the other five regiments of the 115th Division waved goodbye. As for the nd Division, who would take care of them?

It is true that they are now rushing to go home.

A total of five regiments of the independent brigade returned to Hebei Province with a large amount of supplies.

The personnel losses of these five regiments are almost negligible. All the hard work is done by the Heroic Spirits, and the remaining five regiments just need to pick up the slack at the back.

So after the battle, the commanders of the five regiments came over to inquire about the origins and destinations of these troops.

The main reason is that these heroic troops are too powerful.

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed." He answered the others with just one sentence. However, Mingyue, who was left, pestered him shamelessly and insisted on knowing the answer.

The Heroic Spirit Army can only exist for twenty-four hours, so how could Shadan explain this to her? He might as well just ignore her.

Although the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was not satisfactory this time, the independent brigade itself gained a lot.

In terms of weapons, they directly obtained the equipment of three Japanese regiments, including one million rounds of bullets and 10,000 artillery shells, but most of them were small-caliber artillery shells left over by the Kuomintang.

As for other supplies, they have whatever Datong City has.

Datong was basically emptied out. What do you think the independent brigade has?

When we returned to the Hebei base, we began to recruit more personnel.

But unexpectedly, someone actually reported it, and the 42nd Division wanted to get back the artillery equipment they had seized, which had passed through who knows how many hands.

Upon hearing the news, Shadan was very angry and the consequences were serious.

A telegram was sent to the superiors, highlighting the situation of this batch of equipment.

"We took it from the Japanese. The 42nd Division lost its equipment. Why should they ask us for it? If you have the guts, ask the Japanese for it!"

The superiors didn't know what to say after receiving Shadan's telegram. It was true that the Kuomintang had done a huge loss, but in the end the 42nd Division insisted on the KMT-CPC cooperation and insisted that they transport the artillery back.

There was no other way, so the superiors sent another telegram to the independent brigade, trying to reason with them earnestly and asking them to return the equipment.

Unfortunately, I met a fool who was acting childishly, and now the situation is at a standstill.

Shadan was recruiting soldiers at ease in the Hebei base, and even specially formed two reinforced artillery regiments. In fact, he wanted to form a reinforced artillery brigade. Unfortunately, their unit was not qualified, so they had to give up.

Military academies have reopened, this time adhering to the policy of rapid graduation within one year and entering the military for practical training.

Because of the supplies shipped from Datong, Shadan arranged more manpower and set up a small arsenal.

The production is shockingly low.

Only a thousand bullets can be reloaded every day, and the number of independently developed bullets is even pitiful, with only ten bullets passing the test every day.

According to the previous training methods, it is impossible to conduct live-fire training.

The most difficult part of producing bullets independently is the pass rate, mainly because they do not have qualified steel.

Although the steel from the rails can be used, it is still a bit like robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Not advisable in the long run.

You can only make your own steel and bullets.

The slogan of "do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing" sounds loud, but the actual situation is a mess.

The people who had helped them transport supplies stayed behind under Mingyue's loud slogans, and some of them joined the Eighth Route Army.

This group of people have become an indispensable brick, tile, or even stone for the country's infrastructure.

The fat girl also stayed.

There are seven sisters in their family. No wonder they had to flee the famine. People were really fertile at that time.

If I get pregnant, I'll give birth to the baby. I've never thought of aborting the baby, and I don't have the technology to do it anyway.

As long as there is food, feed the child; without food, the child will die.

During the years when the Japanese invaded China, they caused the country so much direct and indirect suffering. Many people starved to death due to the lack of food.

So the Japanese were so hateful, they killed so many people directly and indirectly.

That is not a cold number in a book, that is a living person.

That day, Shadan was worrying about the arsenal, and Mingyue came running to him in a hurry.

"Oh no, idiot, the people from the 42nd Division are here!" Mingyue said, panting.

"What are they here for?" Shadan was shocked.

"What else can we do? They must be here to get equipment." Mingyue said anxiously, "I think they have bad intentions!"

Shadan frowned and thought, "This group of people is really endless!"

He immediately rushed to the east end of the village. He could find the traitor in such a remote alley. It seemed that there was a traitor on his side.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Lin Yu next to him.

When we arrived at the scene, we saw a group of people from the 42nd Division confronting the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

"What do you mean?" Shadan asked loudly.

"We are here on the orders of the division commander to retrieve our equipment," said one of the officers.

"What do you mean your equipment? This is what we took from the Japanese!" Shadan showed no sign of weakness.

"Stop talking nonsense! These are our 42nd Division's things, you have no right to seize them!" The officer said in a tough tone.

The two sides were deadlocked and the atmosphere was extremely tense. At this moment, a crisp gunshot broke the deadlock...

The gunshot came from the 42nd Division, and a soldier fell to the ground.

It turned out that it was Mingyue who fired a warning shot. She stood next to Shadan, with the black muzzle of the gun pointed at the people of the 42nd Division.

"Whoever dares to move, just try!" Mingyue shouted, "We worked hard to get this batch of equipment from the devils, we will never hand it over!"

Seeing this, the people of the 42nd Division raised their guns, but they did not dare to shoot easily, after all, this was the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

Shadan sighed in his heart, Mingyue is such a reckless girl.

He quickly stepped forward to dissuade them, "Everyone, don't get excited. Let's talk it over nicely."

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd. He was the deputy commander of the 42nd Division. "My dear brother, we don't want to embarrass you. But this batch of equipment is very important to us. I hope you can understand." The deputy commander said sincerely.

Shadan thought about it and was about to say something when Mingyue quietly came to his side and said to him: "You can't hand it over. The man I just killed was obviously trying to shoot from behind. If you don't believe me, just look..."

Following the direction Mingyue pointed, the man who fell to the ground had his gun dropped out, and it was loaded.

"What does this mean? You want to shoot me in the back?"

Shadan's eyes turned cold, and he looked at the people of the 42nd Division. "Humph, I, He Yuquan! Since the Anti-Japanese War, I have killed at least 50,000 Japanese devils, if not 70,000 or 80,000. Some people actually want to shoot me in the back. Do I suspect that these people are traitors? If so, don't blame us for being rude!"

He turned and ordered the Eighth Route Army soldiers behind him: "Prepare for battle!"

The soldiers quickly picked up their weapons and pointed them at the men of the 42nd Division.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the people of the 42nd Division quickly prepared for battle.

The situation was tense and a conflict seemed inevitable.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from far away.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a soldier on horseback galloping towards them.

The man who came was the commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
