Chapter 215: The Real Man

The moment the old tailor's head was chopped off by the Japanese, the people around him closed their eyes.

Faced with the brutality of the Japanese, no common people said a word! Even if they were angry, they had to endure it, otherwise they would end up like the old tailor. The angry Japanese might even be so cruel as to massacre the entire market street.

Tian Chun was extremely angry for the second time. This cunning old tailor had no intention of making clothes for Kameda and even defrauded him of four gold bars.

This is simply a shame, and his chop was clean and neat.

Tian Chun looked at the timid Chinese people around him with cold eyes for the second time, and laughed with satisfaction. At this moment, he showed great contempt for these people who did not dare to resist.

However, Tian Chun did not know it for the second time. This is not enough to make the Chinese people cowardly! Instead, they assess the situation and dare not say anything.

Eggs cannot be banged against stones. If you want eggs to be stronger than stones, turn fragile eggs into iron eggs. If you hit the stone, it will create a pit.

Tian Chun laughed and left for the second time without taking the old tailor's body away! Until night, a few strong men secretly transported the old tailor's body out of the city and buried it.

The intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army in the county town spread the news about the murder of the old tailor.

The common people present also spread word of mouth about the old tailor's heroic sacrifice for the country, and soon the whole Anding County knew about the old tailor's death.

At the same time, amidst the anger of the people, what they admired even more was the integrity of the old tailor! Hatred for the Japanese was also brewing in the hearts of the people.

The old tailor was a eunuch who came from the palace. This identity was also spread and inspired the enthusiasm of the young and middle-aged people.

An eunuch with a broken body, working as a prostitute! But with such integrity, he is a real man.

"People hold orchids in their fingers and hold needles and threads, but they dare to tell the Japanese that they only make Chinese clothes.

We are all healthy men, how can we lose our integrity as Chinese people!?

The Japanese are burning, killing, looting and destroying the country and the species. What are we waiting for!?

Suck it and swallow it, I'm going to join the army.

Who among the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in Hukou Mountain is willing to go with me?"

In a village, the village chief gathered together because of the death of an old tailor! A man shouted loudly.

Originally, after they came out of Dongshan, they wanted to join the Eighth Route Army! Now that the old tailor's incident has come out, the young men in the villages no longer want to hesitate.

Are they not as good as a tailor and a man!?

"I'm going!"

"I'll go too!"

"The devils are coming to raid. If you wait, you will die! In this world, if you don't have a gun, you will be like a chicken. If you catch it, you will kill it."

Anyway, if you can't survive, you might as well fight with the Japanese.

Killing one Japanese is enough to earn money, killing two is enough to earn a life." A young man shouted.

At this time, every county and village in Anding County was in a panic. At the request of the young and strong men in each village, the elder village chiefs decided on the number of people to join the army.

The village cannot be without labor force, and those who go to fight must have many brothers! Those who are married cannot go.

It is said that good iron cannot be nailed, and good men should not be soldiers! This saying does not mean that being a soldier is not good, it is because being a soldier means going to the battlefield.

When you go to the battlefield, you have to be wrapped in horse leather. After you go out, few can come back.

As the saying goes, the wind is rustling and the water is cold, and a strong man will never return once he is gone.

This is a true portrayal of soldiers in troubled times.

Those who go to serve as soldiers carry guns and fight, and those who are married die on the battlefield and their wives become widows.

Brothers go one by one, and if they die on the battlefield, the whole family will be wiped out.

You can only choose the one with more brothers, and you can still leave a bloodline for your family! You won't die on the battlefield and lose your future.

Here, groups of young men from each village began to join the army on Hukou Mountain early the next morning.

Because of the sacrifice of the old tailor, the enthusiasm of young men to join the army was beyond Ma Xiaojun's imagination.

This time it was not only young men but also women who came to join the army.

In the past, there was an Eighth Route Army County Brigade in Anding County, and the common people knew it! Among the county brigade militia there was a women's federation guerrilla group, led by a women director.

The revolution was about equality between men and women, because even though all the family members were killed by the Japs, even if there was only one daughter left, there were many.

These women all have hatred for the Japanese, so they choose to serve as soldiers and carry guns to avenge their families.

The original director of the Women's Federation died, and the lesbians who fought with guns also died in the battle.

Therefore, the revolutionary ranks of the Women's Federation, these women with hatred for their families and the country, must be re-established.

Even if they don't have the power to tie a chicken now, they still have to learn how to fight the Japanese.

It would be extremely terrible for a woman to die.

Tian San and Gou Er heard early in the morning that the old tailor was beheaded by the Japanese and told Ma Xiaojun.

Ma Xiaojun seemed extremely calm despite his anger. He fell silent and smoked a cigarette with a cold face.

Only Tian San and Lao Hu, who knew Ma Xiaojun well, knew that the calmer Ma Xiaojun was, the stronger his inner anger was.

He, Ma Xiaojun, wanted to kill people, and the old tailor had an extraordinary relationship with him, Ma Xiaojun.

"Captain, political commissar. There is another news. When we came back, we found out that young men from all the villages and towns in the county had come to join the army.

There were only three or five small ones, and more than ten people from larger villages came.

If we count, I am afraid that more than a thousand people came to join the army, and these were young and strong men.

There is also a group of women gathered in Mujiacun, and they are also coming to join the army! These women all survived after their families were killed by the Japanese." Tian Sanhui reported.

"Why are women joining in the fun!? I'm not against women joining the army. Aren't our men still dead on the battlefield?" Ma Xiaojun said.

"The Women's Union has always existed. Our Eighth Route Army has always emphasized equality between men and women. Besides, when it comes to establishing base areas, we need to be self-sufficient.

Naturally, the female comrades are indispensable to do some sewing and repairing and treating the wounded." Political Commissar Ma persuaded.

"It's okay to be a logistician! Since women have to be recruited as soldiers, don't be afraid of hardship. They also need to receive training and learn how to fight.

Now that there are so many people who have joined the army, training becomes difficult.

We still need to contact our superiors as soon as possible." Ma Xiaojun said.

"We can't contact you at the moment. I'm afraid we won't come back until the Japanese raids have passed.

This is not something that happens in a day or two." Political Commissar Ma responded.

"More than a thousand strong men came to join the army, but it's a whole regiment! Are you sure you can bring out the scholars!" Lao Hu asked worriedly.

"If you can't bring them out, you have to bring them out. The political commissar will select some old comrades who have fought in several battles as the backbone and train them in separate teams.

What we can do now is to catch the ducks and put the team on the line." Ma Xiaojun gritted his teeth.

When things got to this point, Ma Xiaojun had no choice but to lead a group if he was asked to do so.

And he knew very well that with his understanding of himself, Ma Xiaojun was still good at leading elite troops.

Isn't his Tiger Battalion under the banner of the Independent Regiment!? When the Independent Regiment comes back, the rest of the elite he left behind will be given to Li Yunlong.
