The sudden gunfire sound in the county town really scared many people in the city. Fortunately, the gunfire didn't last long. After the gunfire stopped, some brave people looked at the door and looked at the situation in the city. They found that there were more soldiers wearing ordinary people's clothes on each street. These soldiers knew at a glance that they were not regular troops, but could such a bandit-like militia be captured in such a large county town?

Because the siege troops could not be seen where the troops were from, the people mistakenly thought that these people might be bandits outside Xingtai City. After all, many ordinary people saw the movement of the entire army leaving the city yesterday. Now that they saw that the county town was captured by a group of people who were not wearing military uniforms, they naturally wondered if these people were bandits.

The bandits are still very deterrent to the people these days. After seeing the militia brigade's clothes, some timid people immediately retracted their house, inserted the door bolt and pushed them up with the bars at home. Although they knew that if these bandits were going to rob them, these wooden bars might not be used, at least they would ask for psychological comfort!

When the militia of the county brigade entered the city, Deng Chenggong specially selected a detachment of 100 militias and divided them into ten teams to enter various streets of the county town. When they were discovered, someone dared to take the opportunity to plunder and suppress them as soon as they were found. If the other party dared to resist, they would be shot.

Another team of 100 people was drawn to several city walls of Xingtai to defend. The other more than 300 people, led by the intelligence officers, searched the county police station and other armed departments. For some officials with great anger in the county, they were confiscated their property. The extremely bad situation naturally led to the shooting. For this reason, when these teams were carrying out these tasks, one or two gunshots were heard from time to time in the county.

Compared to the militia of the county brigade who was busy plundering Fucai, Deng Chenggong, who walked into the material warehouse of the National Military Administration, was almost blinded by the weapons and equipment in the warehouse. His first reaction to seeing these things was that he really made a fortune this time.

Deng Chenggong was so happy that he almost drooled when he set up a string of 6 105-caliber German howitzers in front of him. There were also 12 75-caliber insurgents arranged neatly next to him. It can be said that with these 18 cannons, Deng Chenggong was fully capable of forming an artillery regiment directly under the militia brigade. And with these big guys, he wanted to fight head-on with the Japanese in the future, and his grasp in his heart was undoubtedly a little bit higher.

No, he pulled them all away. After seeing these cannons, Deng Chenggong immediately arranged for the militia personnel from the county brigade to pull all the cannons away without leaving them. As for the mortars of various calibers collected next, Deng Chenggong was not as excited as the cannons.

Just when he thought that only those cannons in today's military warehouse could excite him, in another military warehouse opened by the special forces, several long spear barrels that were not much different from small-caliber cannons, which made Deng Chenggong excited again. Although this thing was not assembled, Deng Chenggong could tell at a glance that this thing should be a rare anti-aircraft machine gun this day. In terms of the number of these barrels, Deng Chenggong felt that his militia brigade's air defense battalion had a place. With this rare thing, the Japanese aircraft dared to attack the hinterland of the militia brigade in the future, and Deng Chenggong didn't mind letting them understand what it means to 'battle turkey'!

All of them were pulled away without leaving them. In order to move the materials in the warehouse as much as possible, Deng Chenggong regarded the important military supplies as the first batch of things to be transferred. Fortunately, when the county brigade came this time, he had already collected a lot of ox, carriages, otherwise these big guys would have to carry them alone, and they would probably not be able to move them for a few days.

Finally, seeing that the militia were transporting a little slow, Deng Chenggong took his idea to several cars placed in the division headquarters. Although his special forces had been trained, these special forces could not drive at all because of the lack of cars. Fortunately, when attacking the division headquarters, several car transport soldiers were resting in it. When Deng Chenggong and his friends attacked, they also surrendered happily. For this reason, Deng Chenggong pulled out a few nimble special forces soldiers and asked each of them to guard against a car soldier. While guarding against them, they also learned how to drive.

With the help of several cars, the material transfer work in the entire division headquarters warehouse was undoubtedly accelerated a lot. After Wu Zhongyuan and others reported some of the prisoners left behind in the division headquarters, Deng Chenggong immediately asked the militia brigade to escort the division headquarters' telecommunications department and the people and machines to the rear base. If the transmitters were too stubborn, they would be shot without a second thought.

Under such a domineering force, in order to save his life, the telegraphers cooperated very well and followed the first team to transfer materials to Xingtai.

Just when Deng Chenggong and his team were in full swing to transfer supplies, Ma Liancheng, who had already been raided from his nest, had no time to rest and summoned the troops overnight to prepare for the trip. But just as he summoned the troops, the troops holding torches were attacked by more than ten mortars. Even Ma Liancheng, if it weren't for the gathering soldiers, his life would have been reimbursed in the round of artillery shell attacks just now.

Although Hu Guangzong was not sure whether Xingtai had been captured by Deng Chenggong, the abnormal behavior of these people preparing to leave in the middle of the night made him realize that Deng Chenggong's plan might have succeeded. If they were asked to rush back like this, Deng Chenggong and others would inevitably encounter some dangers.

For this reason, when the National Army began to assemble at night, he concentrated the mortars in the militia brigade and bombed them in places with many torches. Anyway, there were people everywhere in this assembly place, and even shells could blow up and hurt many people.

Hearing the roar from time to time from the assembly ground, Ma Liancheng, the division commander, was naturally furious. The opponent's completely rogue fighting style is indeed a bit unkind and righteous. But in this day, only the victory in wars is concerned, who cares about whether you are righteous or not. When the soldiers at the assembly site saw the opponent's shells blowing into places with a lot of fire, they quickly threw away the torches in their hands without any command. The torches originally used for lighting have become death talismans that no one dared to approach.

In such a mountain, you can't rush without torches. In the end, Ma Liancheng could only arrange the division's mortar battalion to counterattack the direction of the militia battalion. Because fire will appear when the artillery shells are fired, the division's artillery battalion can quickly discover the militia's artillery positions.

When their shells were fired, the shells in the militia finally stopped falling into their camp. But next, when they organized people to fight the torches again, gunfire sounded from all directions in the secret. Seeing the soldiers wearing torches being shot dead, no one of the soldiers who survived the torches dared to fire the torches to light them.

Knowing that if this continues, he will only use his soldiers as targets to attack the other party. Ma Liancheng finally gave the order to defend on the spot. Since he can't leave, he can only defend temporarily and retreat after dawn. As for the so-called continued encirclement before dinner, it seems meaningless at this moment.

Seeing that the other party was honest and didn't want to leave, Hu Guangzong arranged some militias familiar with the terrain overnight to lay mines in the mountain roads where the national army might retreat. In short, without waiting for the news that Deng successfully escaped, the national army would hold them back for a while even if they tried hard.

When the next day it was dawn, the people of Xingtai who were frightened and scared all night could not help but open the door. The brave people finally couldn't help but step forward to ask who the soldiers who patrolled them all night were.

When a militia squad leader led the team told the people that they were militias of Jiulongshan Militia Brigade, the people were stunned for a moment and finally said: "Since you are militias, why should you attack the county town?"

Yes! Since it is not a bandit or a militia, why do you turn around and deal with the county towns defended by regular troops?

The militia captain explained with a smile: "It's not that we want to hit them, it's that they are preparing to encircle us. Since they can hit us, why can't we hit them? What's more, we are the team of ordinary people. They usually exploit our people a lot, so it's natural to hit them."

After hearing the militia captain's explanation, the people who were worried that these people were bandits finally breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing the other party saying that they were responsible for patrols to prevent some gangsters from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, the people did not pull the other party to continue asking. For them, as long as they knew that the other party was not a bandit and would not do anything to them, the people would be relieved.

As the dawn became more and more people knew that the troops that attacked the city last night were not bandits, but militias in Jiulong Mountain not far from Xingtai. They were just like usual, and they should do business. Anyway, they were scared all night and didn't see the other party dealing with them. In addition, they all said they were a team to protect the people, so they naturally would not do anything to them, such as ordinary people. Since this is the case, they were still scared and afraid to do what they did.

Considering that it is not appropriate to overstimulate the Kuomintang government, Deng Chenggong did not post anti-National Party communiqués everywhere after capturing the county town. For him, as long as these people know, Xingtai would have an additional army on their side from now on, and the rest would be less.

Just as Deng Chenggong was busy transferring supplies, Qin Ming, who had been following Xu Mingyuan, suddenly walked into the command center temporarily established by Deng Chenggong, the National Military Division, and said embarrassedly: "Captain, there is someone who wants to see you, but I don't know if you want to meet you."

Since entering Jiulong Mountain, considering that Qin Ming was not yet eighteen years old, Deng Chenggong did not agree to the other party's application to join the combat force. Instead, he arranged him to Xu Mingyuan to manage some documents and materials for Xu Mingyuan and act as the other party's secretary. This time, because he attacked Xingtai, he needed to contact the county intelligence personnel, so Xu Mingyuan specially sent Qin Ming out to act as a liaison officer for the intelligence department.

Although Qin Ming did not say who the other party was, Deng Chenggong could guess from the other party's tone and expression. Although he didn't want to contact the other party so early, he nodded and said, "Yes, I still have some time now."

Seeing that Deng Chenggong was willing to see the other party, Qin Ming felt a little relieved, although he knew that Deng Chenggong was not disgusted with the People's Party. On the contrary, many of the slogans and practices of the Militia Brigade were similar to the policies implemented by the People's Party. But after all, the current militia brigade is under the management of Deng Chenggong, and he is also a member of the Militia Brigade. Now he handles it for the People's Party, which makes people feel that he is a little bit of a two-faced attack.

When Qin Ming brought two middle-aged people to the temporary command center, the middle-aged man in charge said happily: "Presponsible to visit, please forgive me. I am Li Hao, secretary of the People's Party's branch in Xingtai, and this is Kong Liang, the captain of the detachment."

Deng Chenggong stood up and smiled and said, "Secretary Li, you are all comrades of Qin Ming's father, then we can call you half of your family. What are you forgiven or not! I just don't know if you are here this time, what advice do you have?"

Because time is urgent, Deng Chenggong doesn't like to go round and straightforward to the topic. Because he knows very well that if everyone fights haha, these people will definitely promote the People's Party's policies to him. Unfortunately, Deng Chenggong should not know less about these policies than them. After all, before traveling here, he was already a member of the People's Party in the army.

Deng’s success seemed to be somewhat beyond Li Hao’s expectations. Fortunately, Li Hao also smiled politely: “It seems that Captain Deng is also a generous person. That’s right. I only said that your militia brigade is a team of ordinary people, and you are also a unit formed to resist the landlord class and reactionary forces. This is very consistent with the policies implemented by our People’s Party. I am here today to ask what Brigade Deng’s views and attitudes towards our People’s Party? If possible, I hope Captain Deng can join the People’s Party and contribute to the liberation of the whole nation.”

This branch secretary is more direct than himself! Although Deng Chenggong had already expected the other party’s purpose, he still did not expect the other party to be so direct.

He smiled and said, "Secretary Li said it well. The political thoughts implemented by our militia brigade are the same as those in many parts of your People's Party. But if you say that you contribute to the liberation of the entire nation, I guess I can't do it based on my current ability alone. My ideological level is not that high. For me, the most important thing at the moment is to develop the strength of the militia brigade and strive to prepare for the comprehensive war of resistance in the future.

Captain Kong, don't stare at me. Although I have a good impression of the People's Party, it does not mean that I have the ability to control the entire militia brigade. I believe you should know that the components of my militia brigade are quite complicated. There are officers from the former Northeast Army and cadres from wealthy families. That is to say, the landlords and wealthy children, and even a large number of people have become bandits. Your People's Party must not be willing to accept these three types of people, right?

The most important point is that the most powerful country is not your People's Party, but the National Party. Although I don't like the National Party's behavior and attack Xingtai this time, this time, this does not mean that I am against their team. If it weren't for them to encircle us, I wouldn't have the intention to attack their nests. In short, I can tell you clearly that my attitude is very simple. Whoever treats the people will be good to him. Whoever treats the people will be good to him. To put it simply, if someone does not offend me, I will not offend others. If someone violates me, I will offend others."

After saying these words, before Secretary Li could speak, Kong Liang, who was standing beside him, stared at him and said, "Do you want to be a warlord too?"

This hat is really big!

Fortunately, Deng Chenggong knew that the other party had no malice and smiled and said, "It's not that easy to be a warlord? If those guys in the government were willing to treat me as a warlord, I would be willing. After all, the bald man has been appeased and supported him now? In my opinion, as long as the local people can live and work in peace and contentment, I think this kind of warlord is no big deal. Today I can meet you, which has already shown my attitude. If you don't have any other important things, I think I need to arrange a job.

The large army of the National Army will not give me enough time to transfer. I must transport the materials we need in the city before they return to the city. Another point is that if the two are sincere to the people, I hope that the news of our meeting today will not be publicized.

You know better than me that the government’s policies for you, I just want to accumulate strength in the War of Resistance Against Japan for the time being, and I don’t want to participate in other political matters. You don’t have to worry about me joining the National Party. For me, I will not pay attention to any party, because I and my troops only follow one sentence, that is, soldiers do not interfere in politics!”
