Chapter 16: Unexpectedly Obtained Intelligence

  "How dare you, are you tired of living? You actually speak to our commander like that!" Zhao Changyou saw that this woman spoke so recklessly, as if she didn't put Mu Rongwu and the entire Yunyang Mountain Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Troop in her eyes. He stepped forward and shouted at her.

  "What's wrong with the commander? Doesn't he allow people to scold him? He led so many troops to camp on the streets, seriously affecting our lives. Can he bear it if people scold him? I think this commander is guilty of his position." The woman saw Zhao Changyou wanting to stop her, and she had a posture of meeting an enemy with extra anger in her eyes. After all, the gun in her hand and the people around her were all taken away by the unidentified troops in front of her. She must fight for justice for herself and the people around her.

  "What are you talking nonsense about? Our Commander Murong had already set strict military rules before entering the town, not allowing the troops to disturb the lives of the civilians, not taking a single needle or thread from the masses. If anyone disobeys, they will be shot immediately. Even when we asked the abbot of the temple for permission to station our troops in the back mountain to rest, and he refused, we didn't say another word and retreated. What do you know? You're just spouting nonsense here!" Wild Orchid couldn't listen anymore at this time, and had to help Commander Murong explain things clearly to this woman who didn't know her place, to let her understand what kind of troops the Yunyang Mountain Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force was.

  "Doesn't he take credit for every stitch and thread from the masses?" The woman seemed to have heard this phrase before, slightly stunned, then continued to put on a pretentious air, "Even so, it's what he should do. He did such a small thing and is boasting about his achievements here, what does he want? Does he want all the common people in the city to worship him? Forget it, at most this can be considered as doing something an official should do!"

  "You..." Ye Shanhu couldn't believe that this woman was so ignorant, no matter how she explained it, in the other person's eyes, the Yunyang Mountain Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force just wasn't a big deal.

  "If I'm not mistaken, you're the leader of the Cui family!" Mu Rong Wudei seemed to have caught on to something at this time, so he got up from his chair, walked around his opponent, and gave him a good once-over before making a bold guess.

  In this society, someone who can always put the welfare and interests of ordinary people on their lips, and is not afraid to die, he thinks that apart from **people, the rest are just his Yunyang Mountain Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Team, so he is very sure that the woman in front of him must be the leader of the Communist Party in Cuizhuang Village.

  "That's right, I am Wei Jiaji's guerrilla team instructor Shang Guan Ruyun. What? Do you want to hand me over to the Nationalist Party reactionaries or the Japanese devils?" The other side saw that Murong Wude had already guessed a few points and did not hide it anymore, so he actively acknowledged his identity in front of Murong Wude.

  "Is this really true?" Wild coral never thought that what he had been searching for would appear in front of him in such a form, it was simply too dramatic, and he almost didn't dare to believe that all of this was real.

  "Shangguan sister, I don't care what faction you belong to or which unit you're from. I have no ill intentions towards you. I just want to persist in resisting the Japanese in my own way in this Yunyang Mountain area and not let the devils take one step further in front of our Yunyang Mountain Anti-Japanese Vanguard!" Murong Wude's response to Shangguan Ruyun was completely unsurprising, but now that the enemy is rampant, he didn't want to get entangled in those party struggles. He just wanted to simply lead his brothers to fight against the devils.

  "Fight the devils? You think you can? Let me tell you, without the leadership of the party and the support of the people, it's impossible to drive out the Japanese devils!" Officer Ruyun understood what Muyong Wudi meant, so she said, although she knew that her words might not be understood by Muyong Wudi, but she had to say them in front of him. She couldn't bear to see so many anti-Japanese warriors being eliminated by the devils due to lack of support under Muyong Wudi's leadership.

  Before she came here, she heard that the common people said that a mysterious army had arrived in the town, with some military uniforms and civilian clothes, and the weapons in their hands were also varied. What was most curious was that this team did not commit any crimes against the civilians after entering Cuijia Village, strictly following discipline, which made her feel that this team was like a well-led team. She took the risk of bringing several guerrilla members to visit at midnight, but she didn't expect that the sentinel soldier was not simple, and they were immediately discovered as soon as they entered the town, and their arms were quickly seized, and they were brought before Mu Rong Wude.

  Although it is still unknown what this team is all about, one thing is certain: it has nothing to do with the team led by **. Otherwise, they wouldn't have treated her like this now. So far, she has only figured out that this team is a highly disciplined team and a resolute anti-Japanese army.

  "What? Look down on people? Little girl, do you know what it means to fight a war? When we were fighting the devils between Shimenxia and Shiyingkou, you were probably still drinking milk!" Meng Xiangfei couldn't bear such disregard for them, so he mentioned the battle at Shimenxia. It's worth noting that this was the only battle he had participated in, and it could be said that it was his most brilliant fight, which had to be attributed to Murong Wuyi's excellent command.

  "What? The annihilation battle at Shigmen Gorge was fought by you?" Upper Official Like Cloud stared with wide eyes, not daring to believe it. She couldn't imagine that the annihilation battle of a well-equipped division would be fought by this army in front of her, which had few guns and relied on clubs, knives, and spears. This was too unexpected.

  "Don't believe it? Hmph!" Meng Xiangfei was indignant at her expression, as if this was a disrespect to the brothers who had sacrificed on the battlefield.

  "Alright, no more talk. I don't plan to make things difficult for you, Hu Pai. Return their guns to them!" Murong Wuyi didn't want to flaunt his heroic image or explain anything, he just decided to let them go first and avoid any potential conflicts with the ** here.

  "Hu Pai's deputy immediately returned all the surrendered guns to Shangguan Ruyun and others after hearing the order."

  "Was the battle at Shimenxia really fought by you?" However, Shangguan Ruyun didn't seem to have any intention of leaving immediately. She stared blankly at Murong Wudi and asked him, as if she wanted to say something but needed to clarify the truth first.

  "What's the difference? What's not?" Murong Wuji found it strange that she had to figure out the real reason, knowing that these reasons had nothing to do with her, and even if she knew, it wouldn't make much sense.

  "If that's the case, please transfer as soon as possible. The devils have assembled two brigades and a deputy imperial army mixed brigade to attack Chuijiazhuang at dawn tomorrow!" Shangguan Ruyun seemed to have already gotten an answer from Murong Wudi's words, so she took the initiative to tell him the intelligence she knew, hoping that her message could bring less loss to Murong Wudi's troops.
