The Zhou family courtyard is already in chaos.

Zhou Feisai's concubines were busy packing up the gold, silver and fine materials in his house. The maids and servants in each room were also rummaging through boxes and cabinets. The grooms, buddies, and workers in the backyard also came to take advantage of the chaos. Zhou Feisai was so angry that his beard trembled and poked the ground with a stick, but no one paid attention to him.

Once this large family that is maintained by authority is smashed, its weak nature will be exposed immediately. The originally seemingly extremely powerful family will fall apart in an instant, so Xu Shijiu dared to boast that just one bullet and one shell are enough to defeat the Zhou family.

The only loyal Chang with Zhou Qi rushed out of the study with a small box. The box contained all the land deeds, land deeds, sales deeds of maids and servants in the mansion, and promissory notes that existed in various banks in Shanghai. Zhou Feixi's decades of plundering were basically kept in this small box.

Zhou Feixi asked Zhou Qi to hug the small box tightly, and turned around and walked towards the backyard. Under a rockery in the backyard, there was an authentic tunnel leading directly to the outside of the Zhou family courtyard. Zhou Feixi secretly dug it to escape at the critical moment. However, the master and servant just turned around and a groom rushed out of the side courtyard collided with Zhou Qi.

"Crash." The small box fell to the ground, the lid opened, and the land deeds, sales deeds, bank promissory notes, and some gold, silver and jewelry, and the ocean legal currency were scattered all over the ground. When the dozens of senior workers, boys and grooms saw it, their eyes lit up and rushed up like a swarm.

Zhou Qi rushed up to try to stop him, but was knocked to the ground.

Zhou Feipi was so angry that he stomped his feet. The old guy stomped his feet and even the entire Qiaotou Town had to shake, but now no one paid attention to him. Seeing that his lifelong plundering gains were divided by these poor people, Zhou Feipi was so angry that he vomited blood. He didn't care about his old age and weak body at the moment, and rushed up to fight against these people.

More than ten minutes later, Xu Shijiu, Gao Shenxing and He Keqi were already standing on the fort wall of the Zhou family compound.

At this time, more than 100 servants in the Zhou family compound were detained in a small courtyard. More than 100 guerrillas had taken over the entire courtyard. Standing on the fort wall and looking down, you could clearly see the heavy houses. The guerrillas wearing torches were running back and forth in the maze-like alleyway to clear away the remnants.

Soon the guerrillas came to report that they had caught Zhou and peeled it, and He Keqi went hurriedly.

There were only Xu Shijiu left on the wall of the fort, and Gao Shenxing and two others were Gao Shenxing. Gao Shenxing said to Xu Shijiu: "Captain, is the guerrilla warfare more bright than the national army? Let me tell you that the battle the day before yesterday was even brighter. I have not been involved in the 19th Brigade for a short time, but I have never fought such a bright battle."

"I admit, this battle is open and bright." Xu Shijiu nodded honestly, but immediately Yufeng continued to say, "However, have you ever thought about it? No matter how bright such a small fight is, it will not defeat the Japanese. If the Kuomintang army does not support it, the Communist guerrillas will find it difficult to have room for survival, and they will be struggling with difficulties.

"That's true." Gao Shenxing also admitted that Xu Shijiu's words made sense.

Xu Shijiu said again: "Sake yourselves, you are a student of Mr. Jiang Baili. You should have systematically learned his national defense theory, right?"

Gao Shenxing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have no interest in strategy, and the teacher has never taught me anything about strategy. He only teaches me specific tactics."

"Then you just entered Baoshan and returned empty-handed, a pity." Xu Shijiu said, "Mr. Jiang Baili's theory of national defense is actually two purposes. In the early stage of the Sino-Japanese War, space was exchanged for time and constantly consumed the Japanese army's vitality. After the Sino-Japanese War formed a stalemate, the two fronts behind enemy lines continued to weaken the Japanese army. When the Japanese army was weak to a certain extent, they gathered all their forces to launch a strategic counterattack."

Gao Shenxing said: "Now, there has been almost a stalemate?"

"No, it's too early." Xu Shijiu shook his head and sighed, "Due to Mr. Jiang's strategic mistake, the vast regional space of North China and East China was sacrificed, and it also won several months. However, the strategic goal of consuming the Japanese army's vitality was not achieved at all. Neither in North China nor in East China, the Japanese army suffered decisive losses."

Gao Shenxing said: "Captain, what do you mean is that the Japanese army will continue to launch an offensive next?"

"That is inevitable and there is no doubt." Xu Shijiu said, "Although little Japan is just an island country with poor resources, it is far from exhausted. Next, the Japanese army will not only continue to launch an offensive, but the offensive will also become more fierce, and the scale of the battle will be further expanded. I am really worried now, worried that the national army will not be able to withstand it."

Gao Shenxing was silent. Now he knew why Xu Shijiu insisted on going back.

Xu Shijiu sighed: "I have no good feelings for the Kuomintang and no bad feelings for the Communist Party. If the Sino-Japanese War had entered a stalemate at this time, I would not mind joining the Communist Army. As long as I fight the Japanese, where is the difference? I have never made any demands in politics, but the problem now is that the Sino-Japanese War is far from entering a stalemate."

Gao Shenxing felt relieved. He had a little resistant to the return army before, but now it has disappeared.

Xu Shijiu sighed: "A person's power is insignificant, but if thousands of broken-out veterans of the National Army like you and me can return to the team, then the National Army still has hope. Only when the National Army stifles the Japanese offensive and enters a strategic stalemate, will the Communist Army's resistance behind enemy lines be meaningful, right?"

"Captain, I understand." Gao Shenxing said solemnly, "I thought it simple before."

"Just understand." Xu Shijiu patted Gao Shenxing's shoulder and said, "Shenxing, let's say hello to Captain He now, and then we should leave."

Gao Shenxing agreed and left.

Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing found He Keqi, He Keqi was counting and seizing it.

He Keqi and Hu Zhijing decided to attack Qiaotou Town, to attack Zhou Family Courtyard, expand the influence of the Communist guerrillas, and open up the situation of the War of Resistance in southern Jiangsu. In addition, there is another reason, that the guerrillas can also obtain urgently needed supplies from the Zhou family, in addition to a large amount of food, there is also money.

In order to compete for the small box, more than a dozen long-time workers, boys and grooms in the Zhou family were all beaten to death. In the end, they were wrapped by the guerrillas who arrived quickly, and none of them ran away. The fields, land deeds, body deeds, gold, silver and jewelry, ocean legal currency, and bank promissory notes in the small box were all included in the guerrillas.

He Keqi counted, and the bank promissory notes alone had more than 500,000.

The guerrillas have really made a fortune this time, and there is no need for superiors to allocate funds this year for several years.

In addition, there are two grains full of grains. With this money, the grain, plus the influence of the guerrillas capturing Qiaotou Town and shooting Zhou Baipi, the expansion of the guerrillas is just around the corner. He Keqi must be looking forward to it. After a few days, he will take the team to southern Anhui for reorganization. Maybe he can get a captain.

However, Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing's arrival reduced He Keqi's excitement.

"Captain Xu, Platoon Commander Gao, are you really leaving?" He Keqi was really reluctant to let go. If possible, he really wanted to detain Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing. Originally, he just couldn't let Gao Shenxing go, but this battle tonight made He Keqi discover that Xu Shijiu is really powerful. His power lies in his superb tactical command ability.

The process of this battle tonight was very simple. The guerrillas took the Zhou family compound without bloodshed. On the surface, it seemed that they would just change to command, and the result would be roughly the same. But He Keqi knew that things were not that simple. Behind the seemingly simple appearance, Xu Shijiu's keen battlefield insight and fighter jet capture ability are actually hidden.

Whether it was to ask Gao Shenxing to shoot the captain of the Zhou family, or Xu Shijiu personally launched a bombardment to collapse the northeast corner building, and finally let Yin Shangwen come forward, the timing was just right.

First, use Gao Shenxing's accurate shooting technique to make the servants understand that there is only a dead end to stay on the fort wall.

Then, when the servants hid in the corner tower, when they needed the protection of the strong fortress the most, they found that the fortress they depended on was like paper under the guerrilla guns, and they could not shelter them at all.

Finally, when the servants were most panicked and desperate, Yin Shangwen appeared with the conditions of "subsiding the gun and not killing the past", and the will of these servants collapsed suddenly. After all, they were just servants of the Zhou family, not filial sons and grandsons of the Zhou family, so there was no need to be buried with the Zhou family.

So, this is like Shaolin long boxing, which is also a punch, which is just an ordinary punch in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of experts, it can be seen that Xu Shijiu is the Shaolin boxer who has decades of hard work. He Keqi, who joined the guerrillas at the age of sixteen, can be regarded as an expert.

He Keqi sincerely hopes that Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing can stay, even if he doesn't become the captain.

Xu Shijiu could feel He Keqi's regret, but as he said to Gao Shenxing just now, they need them even more on the front battlefield. He said to He Keqi: "Captain He, I'm really sorry, but I believe that you and I will definitely meet again. Then we will kill the Japanese side by side."

He Keqi wanted to keep him for a while and said, "Captain Xu, should we wait for our party representatives to come back before leaving?"

Xu Shijiu felt that he should say apart from Hu Zhijing, and asked immediately: "I wonder when Mr. Hu will come back?"

He Keqi said: "Our party representative went to the provincial capital for a meeting. It was as fast as three days, and it was as slow as five days, and it was time for him to come back."

Xu Shijiu frowned and said, "We may not be able to wait for that long. Since this is the case, it is only a matter of time for Captain He to say sorry to Mr. Hu for us. I will apologize to him in person if I have the chance in the future."

Gao Shenxing also specifically reminded: "Captain He, although Dr. Haneda is a Japanese, he is different from those Japanese soldiers who came to China to burn, kill and loot. He used to be a military doctor and was forced to retire because he opposed the war of aggression against China. I hope you don't hurt him, and it's best to let him go back."

"Okay." He Keqi nodded, "I'll let him go afterwards."

Xu Shijiu saluted He Keqi and said in a solemn manner: "Captain He, we will have a date later."
