Chapter 72 Temporary Calm(2/2)

"Don't worry, go ahead. I'm here!" Old Man He said.

Wang Zhong found the little bookworm again and told him his decision to leave the camp tomorrow and go out to recruit troops.

"What do you think, should you come with us or wait for us to come back here at the camp?"

Although the little bookworm is keen on fighting, he is really a novice when it comes to war and firearms. Even with Wang Zhong's step-by-step instruction, he can't practice quickly.

For example, in this raid, Wang Zhong did not take him with him, but asked him to stay in the camp and be responsible for appeasing the emotions of Old Man He and this group of old, weak women and children.

That Old Man He and the others had a very good psychological quality. Although they knew that they were likely to die, they had already made sufficient preparations and were not worried at all.

Because when they were savages in the woods, their unlucky companions would be killed by bullets fired from unknown places by the Japanese every now and then.

Now being able to follow Wang Zhong and the others to fight the Japanese means that they really died on the battlefield. Even though the old men are heartbroken, they will never regret it.

The little bookworm actually really wanted to go, but remembering what Wang Zhong said before leaving last time, the smile on his lips went back. After thinking for a while, he said: "I'll go with you!"

"You're right, everyone has something they are good at. I'm not as good at fighting as you are, and I'm not as good at shooting guns as you are, but I have faith, I can say it, and I can spread my faith to others."

Looking at the little bookworm whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, Wang Zhong nodded with satisfaction.

"In this case, then you pack your things tonight, and we will set off at dawn tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, Wang Zhong took Li Hu, Yao Ma, Mi Long, Dou Bing and Little Bookworm, a total of six people, and left the camp in disguise and went straight to the nearest Heshun.

Now that the east coast is occupied by the Japs, Wang Zhong and others, including Li Hu, are all strangers, so they have to be extremely cautious in their actions.

Checkpoints have even been set up outside Heshun, which shows how important the Japanese are to this mission.

Wang Zhong and others did not choose to enter Heshun, but wandered among the surrounding wilderness mountain villages, deceiving the villagers, telling them that they were too careless, analyzing the pros and cons for them, and finally came up with a few quite

Satisfactory results.

One after another, some people began to choose to join the guerrillas, and most of them were young men in their teens or 20s. Although there were only a few, it was a good start.

Wang Zhong led the four of them around for seven days. Under the careful words of Wang Zhong and the little bookworm, they finally recruited more than fifty young men.

Nowadays, the news of the Battle of Gudaokou has been completely hidden by the top brass of the Japanese army, and ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with it.

Of course I didn't know that the guerrillas had won a great victory.

All they knew was that the Japanese suddenly captured them and made them do hard work, digging soil and drilling holes. They worked hard for a long time, but after a short time, the Japanese released them.

But there are still many people who have concerns. After all, they have parents, wives, children, and families. They are not alone and can be ignored.

There is also a little bookworm who doesn’t even know what stage fright is, so he talks freely in front of others. Most of the more than fifty people got there because of the little bookworm’s sharp mouth.

Wang Zhong knew that these fifty people were just the beginning, and among these fifty people, it was very likely that there would be Japanese spies among them. After all, they had just come down from Nantianmen, so anything was possible.
