Chapter Fifteen: The First Drop of Blood

  The mountain people also kept a respectful distance from Zhang Yun Tian and his martial arts team, after all, they almost got implicated by them. If it wasn't for Hui Fan's quick thinking and Yan Xi Wu insisting that everyone relocate, who knows how many people would have been harmed by the devils?

  Although this situation was not intentional, Yan Xi Wu did not stop it either. After all, from his own perspective, having a party armed force constantly mobilizing the masses around him would make him very uneasy. It is said that in many places in the south, local forces were uprooted by them. Many famous local figures and landlords disappeared in the masses they mobilized. Although many of their actions were indeed deserving of death, there were also many innocent people. He had to consider this issue, and from his contact with the Wu Gong team and the mountain people, they also wanted to do so here. As a mountain goods merchant, he naturally had a different perspective from others, and he understood that the struggle between parties could be fierce at times. Although he had never had any bad reputation, it was hard to guarantee that they would not use him as an example to kill one and warn a hundred. He had seen many people since he started doing business as a young man. In fact, Yan Xi Wu did think about joining them, but after considering for half a day, he still couldn't make up his mind. From their current situation, although he was the village head elected by the villagers, he was likely to be classified as another type; compared to the old-timers who had joined the People's Party long ago, he would naturally be much worse off. If he joined now, he might be transferred away from this home, just to facilitate their actions, which was something he did not want to do at all.

  Yan Xiawu's feelings for Qin Wanjun, apart from love, also have a flavor of uniting to protect themselves out of consideration for the village's interests. Now that the Qin family has joined forces, he's probably considered a great villain, even though he hasn't done anything; in their eyes, being wealthy is the greatest crime.

  Yan Xi Wu also read a lot of history books, he found that many regimes in history rose like this. The famous Zha Huang dynasty in history, its founding heroes were all from poor backgrounds, but they became corrupt and disreputable within ten years after establishing the country, and were overthrown by the people who were enraged by their tyranny; we must be cautious to learn from history. For these few days, it's still better to ask them to camp elsewhere, after all, the village's self-defense team already has enough strength to defend itself now; besides, can't the Wugong team always be repairing?

  Yan Jufan's days are now very fulfilling, although that Qin Xiaojie always finds excuses to mess around him. He is training these village children, and he has recalled some classic scenes from his previous life on TV, sorted out a set of methods to train his mouse team. Seeing his little friends being trained by his own methods until they were covered in dust, the determined young boy who refused to leave the crowd also gritted his teeth and trained with them. However, this made Qin Sijiao suffer, she didn't want to lose to these village children. As Qin Xiaojie hated losing the most, she also gritted her teeth and learned from Yan Jufan's methods, which made Qin Xiaojie suffer a lot. But what Qin Sijiao was most proud of was that she absolutely refused to admit defeat.

  On the flat ground at the bottom of the valley, except for those who were on sentry duty, all members of the mouse team had been mobilized. Except for a few small ones watching from the side, all those over 10 years old were practicing back and forth on the site designed by Yan Jufan. Considering that the children were still young, apart from the use of weapons, the most trained was how to cover themselves in exercise, how to avoid the enemy's line of sight, crawl forward, how to dodge the enemy's artillery fire, and how to dig scattered soldier pits.

  These children grew up in the mountains since they were young, so their physical strength is not a problem, and training is not too hard for them. But Qin Xiao, who was spoiled since childhood, had never suffered such hardship before. Her beautiful clothes got dirty, her face got dusty, and her legs got bruised. She cried while insisting on continuing the training, refusing to lose to that despicable little boy, even though he was also struggling on the ground. As a result, Qin Xiao earned the respect of the children by crying and training with them together. This little girl is not simple, and she immediately won their admiration. The mountain people are straightforward; if you want to win them over, it's best to show them your sincerity. Qin Xiao unintentionally did just that.

  Yan Jufan stared at the little girl training beside him in surprise, was this still that spoiled Miss Qin Xiaojie? With tears in her eyes, Qin Xijiao saw the boy's gaze and immediately kicked him. Then she continued to train, leaving behind a snarling, shouting bad boy chasing after her.

  A loud singing voice came: "We are pests,

  We are pests

  We make the devils restless and uneasy.

  We are pests of justice

  Wipe out the devils completely.

  Eliminate thoroughly!

  Kill! Kill! Kill!

  This is the team song of the Mouse Team. Of course, it's a remake of the bad boy who stole memories from his previous life. As soon as this song came out, the morale of the Mouse Team was greatly boosted. Soon even the villagers learned this song under their children's coaching, and it's said that it even topped the music chart in Pingshi Village that month.

  Yamamoto Kamejiro excitedly watched the assembled security team, their training over the past few days had taken shape. However, whether they could pass the test of the enemy would depend on today's actual combat drill.

  "Target, Li Jia Village, advance!" With a string of orders, a company of devils and half a battalion of security troops marched towards Li Jia Village.

  Yamamoto Kitaro rode on horseback with a sly smile, looking at the advancing security troops in front of him. In a little while, it will be clear which ones are the unstable elements, and dealing with this kind is to kill them cleanly. The Great Japanese Empire only needs obedient citizens, everything else is trash!

  Of course, for safety reasons, the soldiers of the security squad did not have bullets in their hands, but killing a few unarmed villagers with bayonets was enough.

  Mei Huan-yu was leading the team in front, and as soon as he got up today, he felt something was wrong. The devils had actually sent someone to collect the bullets from the security battalion. If you say it's disarmament, the guns were left behind, but when he heard that today's target was Li Jia Village, everything became clear. This Japanese dog is really ruthless, and they've played another trick again. No need to ask, they must be killing a few villagers to intimidate them. Later, if the security battalion has any dissatisfaction, it will probably be troublesome. However, he couldn't help but admire the Japanese tactics. This is what's called vicious - with this move, from now on, the security battalion can only be tied to the devil's war chariot.

  Mei Huan-yu had arranged his trusted men early on, instructing them to deal with the villagers ruthlessly later, or else the devils might not let them off.

  One of them asked: "We are fellow villagers and have no grudges against each other, how can you do this?"

  "Yes, we are all fellow villagers. If it were just killing a few rebels, that would be nothing, but how can we bring ourselves to harm our own fellow villagers?" The others also echoed in agreement, although they sometimes bullied the villagers for their own gain, who would casually kill people without reason? After all, even if someone is bad, they still have some conscience.
