Chapter 277: Transporting Grain Back to the Village

Ma Zhankui looked at the two huge warehouses filled with food and guns. He swallowed and spoke with difficulty.

"General Gu, with so much food and guns, are we going to get rich?"

Gu Wenxuan smiled and said, "I don't know whether you will get rich or not, but at least there are more than 2000 tons of food here, which is enough for your village to eat for a year or two! As for these guns, I think they can arm a team of more than 5000 people."

But soon Ma Zhankui's new anxiety came up again:

"But General Gu has so much food, how can we transport it back with so few people?

The key is that there is not even a road near our village, and we have to carry everything back on our shoulders. How long will it take to transport it back? I am afraid that the Japanese rescue team will arrive before we finish transporting it."

Gu Wenxuan had not thought of this. Of course, if he wanted to transport it back with him, it would be a piece of cake, but he would not be able to use his spatial power in front of so many ordinary people!

“The only way is to requisition all the horses from the nearby villagers to transport the food.

I also saw several large trucks at the train station that can transport the food to a place closer to you for unloading."

Ma Zhankui had no choice but to use this method. He ordered his soldiers to go out and collect all the horses and mules from the nearby villagers to transport food for him.

The citizens of the nearby town had been awakened by the gunfire in the middle of the night, and then Ma Zhankui's bandits came from house to house to requisition horses and mules.

These people did not dare to refuse, after all, Ma Zhankui's bandits were well-known in the vicinity.

Besides, this time, Ma Zhankui's bandit soldiers were paid for requisitioning their horses, which had never happened before.

Therefore, although the villagers whose horses were requisitioned were not very satisfied, they did not feel much aversion. After all, they got money, so a little loss was not a big deal.

Ma Zhankui even recruited many strong villagers to help them carry food.

Gu Wenxuan even left about 400 to 500 tons of food and distributed it to the poorer villagers. The villagers were so happy that they came out to transport food with them.

Because at this time of year there is a shortage of food and the new wheat has not yet come out.

Everyone had almost eaten up last year's food. Now suddenly these bandits were giving them so much food for free, how could they not be happy? How could they not help them?

Although they knew that the Japanese army might take back the food they were given after their return, they also had an idea. They first placed the food in different places so that the Japanese army would not be able to find it all after their return.

Gu Wenxuan even ordered the bandits to destroy the railway that was the only way for the Japanese army to arrive, so that their reinforcements could not reach the train station for a while.

In this way, Ma Zhankui and the villagers took two full days to transport the grain to Ma Zhankui's stronghold.

Ma Zhankui even recruited an additional 500 soldiers from the villagers who helped him transport food. These villagers came from relatively poor families.

Now there is so much food in Ma Zhankui's stronghold, at least eating is not a problem. Hearing that there is a big salary of two yuan per month, they are tempted and join his bandit group one after another.

Oh, yes, now they are no longer a bandit group, but a real anti-Japanese coalition force!

Now that Ma Zhankui had food, guns, and some money, he immediately called upon the people from the nearby villages to help him build the stronghold and reinforce its fortifications.

He knew that if they robbed the Japanese railway station, they would definitely face revenge from the Japanese.

He had to prepare to build better fortifications for their stronghold.

The location occupied by Ma Zhankui was also a good terrain. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and there was a river flowing in front. It was a place that military strategists must fight for.

This mountain range is called Longpan Mountain. There is a valley in front of the mountain, which is perfect for them to live, and behind it is a primeval forest.

In the past, when Ma Zhankui was defeated by the government troops and had no way out, they withdrew their troops and fought guerrilla warfare in the primeval forest.

The officers and soldiers were helpless against them, so even though Ma Zhankui's stronghold was broken into many times by the officers and soldiers, they were not completely wiped out, all thanks to the primeval forest in the mountains behind them.

In the primeval forest, there are at least some wild fruits and grasses that can sustain them for several months without any problems.

Of course, if it is winter, they will have no choice.

Ma Zhankui warmly invited Gu Wenxuan to stay and the two of them stayed in the mountain village for three days.

During these three days, Ma Zhankui even sent his men to the nearby large county town to exchange those dollar notes.

Now knowing that these banknotes were completely authentic and valid, Ma Zhankui finally felt relieved. Of course, with these 50 oceans, he had the courage to do things, and he officially raised the banner of recruiting soldiers.

In fact, it is very simple to recruit soldiers in the Northeast. As long as you have guns, money and food, everything will be easy. After all, in the Northeast, many places have the habit of being bandits.

As long as you are extremely poor, just go up the mountain and recruit people to be your beard. No one will laugh at you, and many people will even admire you.

After these three days, Gu Wenxuan was going to leave here. He had his own things to do and couldn't stay here for too long.

With his strong support, Ma Zhankui should be able to solve the problem in the short term.

But just as he was about to leave that morning, their spies came back to report to Ma Zhankui.

The spy reported: "Commander Ma, this time there are about 1 Japanese and Manchurian National Defense Forces coming towards us, so we must be completely wiped out in this mountain valley!"

Ma Zhankui became a little anxious after hearing this. Although he now had an army of nearly 3000 people, most of them were newly recruited, and only about 1000 of them had real combat capabilities. If an enemy army of came, how could he resist?

Gu Wenxuan sighed. It seemed that he had to help Ma Zhankui gain his footing.

So he stood up and said to Ma Zhankui:

“Don’t be afraid, Ma Siwen, I’m not leaving for now, I’ll help you!

Let's see whether these Japanese have supernatural powers or not. If you want to establish a reputation in this place, it depends on how you fight this battle.

If we defeat these 10,000 Japanese soldiers in this battle, then no one in your place will dare to underestimate you!

Maybe other small military forces will join you, and then you might become the boss of this place!"

Ma Zhankui thought about it and agreed, but using 1000 people to resist 1 people is really not as easy as it is said on the stage!

Besides, Gangtian Kodera fled back to Pingzhou, the largest city nearby, with more than 10 soldiers.

A battalion of Japanese troops, about 1000 people, was stationed in Pingzhou City.

In addition, there are about eight or nine thousand national defense forces.

The captain of the Japanese army was called Matsushita Gen.

At this time, Matsushita Gen heard the report from team leader Okada Kodera.

Matsushita Gen frowned: "You have about 300 people, how could a group of ragtag bandits capture the train station? You are so useless!"

Okada Kodera really had no way to defend himself. Their train station was attacked by bandits? It was really too cowardly. Usually these bandits would rob the local gentry and local gentry, and at most they would attack the lone national defense army of ten or eight people.

There was basically no time when they actually fought face to face with large Japanese forces.

The bandits who had a head-on confrontation with them at the train station tonight were like completely different people, extremely brave and fierce.
