Chapter 234 This is called a full harvest
After marching all night, Gu Changfeng finally returned to Xiaowang Village at around 6 o'clock in the morning.
Since they were all country roads, the soldiers drove very carefully, and Gu Changfeng also tried to take larger roads, otherwise it would not have taken so long.
As for Mayor Huang and his subordinates, they were released by Gu Changfeng halfway.
Seeing his mortal enemy being shot first, Mayor Huang gave up the idea of having someone follow him and returned to Huanglong Town dejectedly.
The Japanese soldiers who left the city from Laiyuan were even more so. After they found a pile of corpses, they immediately contacted the regiment commander Wu Xinchun.
Wu Xinchun was angry at first, but then he calmed down and withdrew his troops from the city.
He knew very well that he had to be extremely careful when facing unknown forces.
Since this unknown force was able to wipe out his four squadrons without making any noise, the two battalions leaving the city must also be unsafe.
Being cautious, he chose to retreat temporarily and wait until the matter was investigated thoroughly.
As his order was issued, the Japanese intelligence personnel around Laiyuan immediately took action and began to investigate the truth behind the destruction of the four squadrons.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Gu Changfeng. Xiaowang Village is some distance away from Laiyuan. As long as he doesn't reveal any flaws, there is no need to panic.
.........
Xiaowang Village is very lively today. When the people heard the noise, they walked out of their homes and came to the back of the village.
Looking at the mountains of food on the open space, the people widened their eyes.
Village Chief Wang was stunned for a moment, stroking his goatee and muttering, "My God, these people are probably bandits."
In his opinion, if they could bring back so much food in just one trip, what else could they do but rob?
His voice was very low, but Tiedan next to him heard it.
Tiedan is an orphan who has been raised by many people and is quite courageous.
After eating a large meal of white rice and pork prepared by Gu Changfeng, he ran to the camp behind the village to help and get a free meal.
Seeing this, Zhou Qianli didn't say anything. He arranged a miscellaneous job for him and asked him to help out.
Tiedan, who was familiar with the soldiers under Gu Changfeng, naturally knew more than the village chief. When he heard the village chief say that his brothers were bandits, he immediately became unhappy and retorted.
"Uncle Wang, that's not the case. I heard from those brothers that they went out to kill the devils."
"Didn't we bring back a lot of stuff yesterday? There were also a lot of Japanese canned meat."
Tiedan said this with a bit of arrogance. He leaned in front of Village Chief Wang and whispered, "Uncle Wang, have you ever tried canned beef? It tastes so good just thinking about it."
In fact, he had never eaten it. It had just been brought back and had not been opened yet. He was just bragging in front of Village Chief Wang.
When Village Chief Wang heard Tiedan say this, he immediately felt relieved.
He knew that Tiedan was a cunning guy and that ordinary people could not deceive him. Since Tiedan said so, it must be true.
In fact, Zhou Qianli did not hide anything, otherwise he would have been able to cheat a lot of people from this little kid.
"Tiedan, you said they went to fight the Japanese, but why do I hear people outside say that the Japanese are very cruel? Why are these people so powerful?"
People nearby started asking questions, and they were genuinely curious.
When Tiedan heard someone asking him, he looked even more proud and said with a grin:
"Aunt Wang, your question is out of character. My brothers have all fought in the Battle of Nanjing."
"These little devils in Laiyuan are not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."
Tiedan said, then looked at the other villagers and said, "You know Jinling City, that's our country of China."
When the villagers heard what Tiedan said, they were skeptical, but seeing so much food and what happened last night, some villagers gradually began to believe it.
Tiedan ignored them, showed off a little and went to help.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, Wan Chenghai calculated the number.
The first is food, a total of more than 2, the main source of which is the wealthy Huang Zhenzhang.
Originally, Gu Changfeng wanted to ask for more, but he couldn't fit it in and couldn't carry so much, so 1 kilograms was just enough.
The second is canned food, various canned meats seized from the Japanese, totaling about 1000, which is quite good.
The third harvest of firearms and ammunition included more than 600 long and short guns, 33 Type 38 light rifles, 92 grenade launchers, and 7 Type heavy machine guns of the Japanese.
The total number of bullets of various types was more than 1. This harvest greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient ammunition under Gu Changfeng's command.
The fourth point is the gains of the security team.
They are really poor when they say they are poor. They have only six or seven hundred guns and more than 2000 bullets, all of which are Hanyang and Zhongzheng types. Some of them even have old chambers. They are so shabby.
However, although Gu Changfeng looked down on them, he thought these guns were good for training new recruits, so he kept them.
Fifth, the silver dollar harvest. More than 11 silver dollars and more than 800 taels of gold were seized from Liu Taibao's house. Together with the 20 from Mayor Huang, he now has enough money to buy a lot of food.
The prices of various antique calligraphy and paintings cannot be estimated for the time being, so we can only wait and see.
After calculating the total, Zhou Qianli was delighted and said happily, "Changfeng, no wonder they say being a bandit has a future. These days, you still have to rely on robbing to make a living!"
He now had to admit Gu Changfeng's decision to come to Jin. In just a few days, he had brought back a lot of people, more than 2 kilograms of food and a large amount of money.
"If we weren't so few in number, I would have emptied out those two houses."
"These two surrendered to the devils, neither of them is a good person. When I have the chance in the future, I will go to Huanglong Town and capture them."
After careful consideration, Gu Changfeng decided to kill people like Mayor Huang later. Maybe he could get some benefits from him.
Zhou Qianli was very interested in this topic. He secretly conspired with Gu Changfeng for a while before asking about the next arrangements.
Now that we have supplies and soldiers, the next step must be to reform the prisoners, Zhou Qianli thought to himself.
Sure enough, Gu Changfeng said: "Next, send the Security Corps and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to build Xianyaling and its surrounding areas."
"There's also the transformation of these two groups of people. If we want to develop, we must go through this process."
Zhou Qianli thought for a moment and said, "It will take some time to reform them. We definitely won't have enough food. Should we buy some more?"
Gu Changfeng didn't need to think about this question at all, and said directly: "Buy it, spend the money slowly. Food is our foundation. Silver dollars left unused are just garbage."
He is not planning to buy weapons, so wouldn't it be better to just buy food and store it?
He still remembered that in the 40 years, the situation in Shanxi became increasingly serious. The various blockades by the Japanese devils not only made life difficult for the Eighth Route Army, but also for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
He had to take advantage of this time to store up his food and build his nest.
"Okay, I'll arrange for Lao Wan to go out." Zhou Qianli agreed.
After the two of them finished their conversation, Gu Changfeng pondered for a while, then found Yang Zhenhua and asked, "Old Yang, have you cleaned up all the traces of our return?"
Yang Zhenhua glanced outside the village and said with a smile, "I sent the brothers out early in the morning. They should still be outside now."
Gu Changfeng nodded and said, "Remember to hide the vehicles outside the mountain. We are not suitable to be too conspicuous for the time being. Be careful of the Japanese following us."
Since there was only a small road leading to Xiaowang Village, he could only hide the ten captured Japanese military vehicles in the dense forest more than ten miles away.
In fact, arriving at Xiaowang Village a few days ago was an accident. It was discovered by the soldiers conducting reconnaissance in the front.
Gu Changfeng thought that since they had already arrived in Jin and were close to Taihang Mountains, he might as well take his team and set up camp to rest.
After arranging everything, he had nothing else to do, so he led a group of people to Xianyaling.
At this time, some soldiers were already tidying up and building houses in Xianyaling.
The construction of the camp is urgent. Gu Changfeng is anxious to convert the captives into his own people, so naturally he has to build the camp first.
