At three o'clock in the afternoon, the old village chief Wang Shuyun appeared at the entrance of the Tudi Temple, followed by several fellow villagers, each carrying a grain bag.

Seeing Zhou Cheng coming, Wang Shuyun showed a guilty expression on his face, and then said with disgust: "Captain Zhou, those traitors who eat meat and don't spit bones are so hateful. I said it, and I just almost kneel down for them. As a result, I only bought back four o'clock food worth four o'clock, a total of five hundred kilograms, all of which are here."

"I'm sorry for you!"

"Enough!" Zhou Cheng comforted.

"Old village chief, you have helped us a lot. Although we don't buy much food, it's enough for us to support us for a month."

"As for those traitors who eat meat and don't spit bones, the evil ones will be beaten by the evil ones. Sooner or later, they will pay the price for their actions."

"Now that there is food, there is another thing that needs your help from the old village chief."

"Finish us a cook in the village. In order to develop combat effectiveness as soon as possible, every soldier in the village protection team must seize every time to train, and there is definitely no time to cook."

"The current conditions for the village protection team are limited, and the reward cannot be paid for the time being, but we can take care of three meals."

"No problem!" Wang Shuyun agreed without thinking.

In the Japanese and puppet army stronghold in Donghui Town, the puppet army company commander Zhang Fugui and several Japanese commanders Cao all surrounded the door of Okazaki's office with an anxious look on their faces.

When he returned to the stronghold yesterday afternoon, Lieutenant Okazaki was sent in for treatment.

Because the injury was too serious, the military doctor at the base could only temporarily control the wound and then invited a doctor from the county town for surgery overnight.

"Cruff..." The office door was finally pushed open and a Japanese doctor walked out of it.

"Kun Takato, how are our captain?" The only remaining lieutenant at the stronghold asked immediately.

"No problem!" The doctor replied calmly: "I am awake now. As long as the wound does not get inflamed, I will be able to recover completely in three months."

"Because the wound is on the shoulder, it has little impact on the body. You can walk in five days and work normally in one month. As long as the movement is not too big, there is no problem not pulling the wound."

Everyone was relieved to hear this result.

Everyone is very familiar with the commander Okazaki, and he agrees with it. If the injury is too serious, the commander will definitely be replaced. Everyone will have to adapt to the new commander again.

It’s okay if the other person has a good personality, but if the personality is not good, then the life will be difficult to bear in the future.

The lieutenant continued, "Can we go in now?"

"Yes!" the doctor nodded.

"Lt. Okazaki is awake, as long as he doesn't let him pull the wound."

The second lieutenant rushed into the room without waiting for the doctor to continue, more anxious than anyone else.

Next to the desk was the hospital bed, and Lieutenant Okazaki leaned against it, his face was very heavy.

Seeing that all the subordinates rushed in, Okazaki immediately asked: "Have we calculated all the losses yesterday?"

"Hi!" The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Okazaki would just work as soon as he spoke, so he quickly answered.

"Six were killed in battle and three were seriously injured!"

"15 were killed in battle, three were slightly injured!"

"Baga..." Okazaki cursed with gritted teeth, then frowned. It must be because his expression fluctuated too much and pulled the wound.

"Sir, please calm down!" The lieutenant quickly reminded.

Okazaki gasped and forced himself to calm down. After two minutes, "Did you know how many people and guns there are in Xiaoling Village? I must avenge this bloody hatred!"

The second lieutenant shook his head and replied with a look of embarrassment: "Not yet, but Bei Zhi has asked Company Commander Zhang to send someone to investigate, and the news should be coming back soon."

"But one thing you need to make a decision immediately, the commander: yesterday's attack plus the losses three days ago, the Imperial Army stationed at the stronghold had more than half of the casualties, and the Imperial Army also lost more than one row. Even if we understand the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Xiaoling Village, we cannot draw out the extra troops to attack them."

"Do you think you should report the losses of the stronghold immediately to the captain, and ask the captain to send troops to reinforce us."

Okazaki thought about the order: "The lost Imperial Army is counted as the battle between the Eighth Route Army and the East Return to Town three days ago. As for yesterday's battle, it's too embarrassing. Please ask the captain to make up for all the Imperial Army soldiers we lost. If possible, support us with a heavy machine gun and a mortar."

"As for the Imperial Army, Donghui Town is so big, there must be Chinese people willing to join the army and eat food and work hard for the Imperial Army."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Fugui's orders.

"Company Commander Zhang, the Imperial Army will recruit soldiers in Donghui Town tomorrow, recruiting 70 people at a time, forming two platoons. You can report to me how many weapons are missing, and I ask the captain for it."

"A large amount of Jinsui Army equipment was seized during the period of occupation and pacification of the Imperial Army, all piled up in the county arsenal, and the captain will definitely transfer it to us."

"After the troops are fully in power, hurry up and train and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

"I just asked the doctor and I will be able to work normally in one month, so I decided to lead my troops to attack Xiaoling Village again in one month to take revenge."

The Land Temple in Xiaoling Village, including Xiang Feng and Li Yifang, has a total of ten soldiers lined up in two rows, with the rifles flat in their hands and aimed at the front.

This is the most basic movement to practice shooting and aiming.

When Zhou Cheng was a border guard, he practiced this movement for half a month. At that time, it was much more ruthless than now. In addition to keeping the gun-holding movement unchanged for a long time, the barrel would also be hung with a brick. It only takes more than ten minutes for two arms to hurt and numb...

Today is the first day for everyone to conduct gun training, and Zhou Cheng does not plan to increase their bids.

But even so, many people started to tremble their hands after half an hour, and beads of sweat as big as beans flowed out of their foreheads like rain.

Seeing that someone seemed to want to move, Zhou Cheng immediately encouraged them: "Don't they all want to have a marksman like me? If you can't even practice guns, don't even think about marksmanship."

"Everyone insists on for another half an hour, and then performs other trainings. Complete the training task and eat pork stewed radish and white flour steamed buns tonight. It's enough. If you can't complete the training task, you can only eat white flour steamed buns and boiled cabbage."

Without the Japanese to mobilize, the recruits could only eat a meal of meat during the Chinese New Year.

After the Japanese army swept the country, everyone couldn't even eat enough, let alone eat meat.

When everyone heard that there was pork stewed with radish at night, they began to shine, gritted their teeth and continued to hold on. The trembling arms stopped shaking, and the sweat beads on their foreheads were not caring about, and they let them flow into their eyes.

The temptation of pork is far beyond Zhou Cheng's expectations. None of the ten soldiers quit midway and all completed the gun-taking training.

At the end of the moment, several soldiers collapsed on the ground so tired that they were sank on the spot, gasping for breath.

Xiang Feng recovered after a long time and looked over with a worried expression: "Captain, where can we go to find pork?"

"The livestock and poultry in the village were stolen by the Japanese. Is it too dangerous to go to other villages to sell meat?"

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Meat is a precious thing, even if I want to buy it, we don't have money."

"And other villages have traitors to control them, so if you can't get over it, you can't get over it."

"Don't worry, I'll solve the pork problem, and I will definitely let everyone eat meat today."

"Liang Hongjiang and Wang Tieshan went out for training with me. You will take the others to conduct regular training at the base. After rest, you will start."
