Heyuan County, the busiest street.

A dark-skinned, sturdy young man pushed a wheelbarrow containing more than a dozen bags of millet to the intersection.

Holding one in each hand, he easily unloaded the two sacks containing two hundred kilograms of millet from the wheelbarrow.

Then he patted himself on the shoulder and shouted loudly: "Xiaomierle, fresh Xiaomier."

Occasionally, passers-by would come up and ask about the price, then take out banknotes from their pockets and buy a few kilograms or a dozen kilograms of millet.

A group of puppet soldiers carrying Liao 13-type rifles were walking on the street with arrogant expressions. When they saw good things, they would grab them without saying a word.

As soon as the puppet soldier Youzi saw the women from good families, he pretended to pass by them, and then grabbed their buttocks violently.

Wherever he passed, there was chaos everywhere, and ordinary people couldn't afford to offend him, and they dared to get angry but dared not speak out.

All we could do was wait for the puppet troops to pass by and then spit a few mouthfuls of saliva in the back to vent our anger.

After walking down a street, the puppet soldiers were already covered with large and small bags they had stolen.

When the puppet soldiers walked to the intersection and saw a dozen bags of millet on the wheelbarrow beside Duan Peng, their eyes couldn't help but shine.

Four or five puppet soldiers rushed up with guns in hand. Without saying a word, they reached out to pick up the sacks.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Duan Peng quickly stepped forward to stop him, "This is the food I bought, don't steal my food, this is mine!"

The puppet soldiers didn't care. Two men carried a sack and started robbing.

Duan Peng held the sack tightly with both hands. No matter how hard the puppet soldiers tried, the sack would not move at all.

A puppet soldier picked up the butt of his gun and hit Duan Peng's head with all his strength. Duan Peng dodged and the puppet soldier instantly lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

"Yeah, you're looking for death!"

The puppet soldiers cursed and swung their guns at Duan Peng.

Duan Peng reached out and grabbed the gun and pulled it back. The puppet soldier suddenly fell to the ground like a vicious dog pouncing on his prey.

The expressions of the remaining two puppet soldiers changed, they took out bayonets from their waists and placed them on the muzzles of their guns, and then stabbed towards Duan Peng.

Duan Peng turned sideways to avoid the thrust, kicked the puppet soldier over, and then used his rifle to avoid the thrust of another puppet soldier.

A sharp look flashed in his eyes, he took a step forward with his rifle in hand, and thrust his bayonet into the neck of the puppet soldier lying on the ground.

"stop!"

There was a sudden shout, and the bayonet stopped less than one centimeter away from the puppet soldier's neck. The puppet soldier's face was full of fear.

Duan Peng turned around and saw that the onlookers took the initiative to make way for a passage, and a puppet soldier with a toothpick in his mouth who looked a little lazy walked over. Judging from his clothes, he looked like the head of these puppet soldiers.

Maizi looked at the puppet soldiers lying on the ground, then looked at Duan Peng, and took out a large amount of money from his pocket: "Brother, I'll cover all your millet."

Duan Peng threw the gun on the ground and snorted: "I won't sell it!"

Maizi put the money back into his trouser pocket and tilted his head towards the puppet soldiers, who quickly rolled and crawled away.

Maizi said: "Brother, you are pretty good at it. You must have practiced it before. Are you interested in following me?"

Duan Peng didn't even look at him and refused directly: "No."

"In this world, if you don't want to be bullied, you have to get ahead and ride on other people's heads."

"Brother, when you have figured it out, come to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment, 4th Brigade of the Imperial Association Army to find me. By the way, my name is Maizi."

After Maizi finished speaking, he walked towards the distance, leaving Duan Peng with his back.

Duan Peng curled his lips disdainfully.

Serving as a lackey and traitor for the Japanese is something only a beast can do.

It's best to stay away from me. If you dare to mess with me, even if you die, I will help you to support you!

After taking over Wei Dayong's mission that day, Maizi felt a little excited and rushed directly to Heyuan County.

Less than halfway through, I realized that I had forgotten to bring dry food when I left the independent group.

I was hungry for a long time on the road before reaching the enemy-occupied area, and then wandered for several days before arriving at Heyuan County.

After arriving here, Maizi sneaked into the Fourth Mixed Brigade and became a soldier.

By chance, Maizi helped his company commander win a sum of money at the casino by playing a trick, and he was attracted by the company commander.

Now Maizi is a guard beside the company commander, responsible for following the company commander into the casino and helping the company commander win money.

The casino knew that there was a scammer out there, but they didn't dare to say anything because of their status as the Imperial Alliance Army.

Maizi has never forgotten the mission assigned by Wei Dayong, and has been waiting for Wei Dayong to appear.

…

Lijia Village, Special Operations Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

The current special operations battalion has nearly 300 people.

As soon as the news came out a few days ago that the Independent Regiment was recruiting new soldiers, young men from ten villages and eight villages rushed to sign up for the Independent Regiment to join the army.

The Independent Group naturally accepts all comers, and as long as they meet the requirements, they will all be recruited.

The special operations battalion has also recruited more than 130 new recruits. Although the number is not enough for a battalion, the training of the new recruits has been arranged.

Some of these recruits were recruited from surrounding guerrilla groups and county brigades and had certain combat experience.

Some are ordinary people who have never touched a gun before.

In addition to recruiting new recruits for battalions and companies, the regiment headquarters will also recruit a large number of new recruits, form a company of new recruits for centralized training, and then add them to each battalion and company.

After the recruits arrived at the special operations camp, Wei Dayong did not form any recruit company or platoon.

Instead, it is a way of bringing in the old with the new. For example, a machine gun company does not mean that each person has a light machine gun. Instead, veterans with rich combat experience serve as the main shooters of the machine guns, and the recruits serve as the assistant shooters. Some recruits still use rifles and two submachine guns.

It also has the same configuration.

After the two battles at Huting Stronghold and Hutou Ridge, some of Wei Dayong's veterans also gained a lot of merit points.

He used these merit points to improve the corresponding skills of the veterans according to their different arms.

For example, if he is a veteran of a machine gun company, Wei Dayong will upgrade him from the original [light machine gun entry level] to [light machine gun proficiency], including submachine guns.

And Wang Chengzhu was appointed as the acting commander of the artillery company. Now the Langya Special Forces only has four people, Wei Dayong, Wang Xikui, Yang Dahe, and Wang Gensheng.

The Langya Special Forces were not idle either. They taught all the skills that Wei Dayong taught them to the veterans, who then taught them to the new recruits.

Everything in the special operations camp is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Wei Dayong was explaining the use of thunder cannons to the engineer company commander Nie Wei at the battalion headquarters.

At this time, Liuzi suddenly ran over and saluted: "Report to the battalion commander, someone is looking for you outside!"

Wei Dayong asked: "Who is looking for me?"

Liuzi replied: "He said his name is Xiaoqi, he knows you and Ge Erdan, and he has something urgent to do with you!"

Wei Dayong's expression changed and he said, "Call him in."

After a while, Xiao Qi, who was sweating profusely, was led by Liu Zi and walked in from the door while breathing heavily. It seemed that he had run all the way here.

As soon as Xiao Qi came in, he shouted to Chao Wei Dayong who looked a little anxious: "Brother Wei!"

Wei Dayong poured him a glass of water and said, "Xiao Qi, don't worry, tell me slowly what happened."

Xiao Qi did not drink water first, but took out a pack of oil paper from his chest: "Brother Wei, this is a letter from Captain Zhao of our guerrilla team to you."

Wei Dayong took it, and the oil paper was already wet with sweat.

Open the oil paper and there is a folded letter paper inside.

After reading the letter, Wei Dayong's eyes suddenly widened and he became furious: "Fuck, these damn beasts, send me an order and the whole battalion must assemble urgently!"
