The dishes on the table are three vegetarian and one meat-sized. The most attractive thing is four of the steaming pots of pork stewed vermicelli. The bandits who have not eaten meat for a long time are all staring at the fragrant stewed pork, sucking their noses and enjoying the seductive aroma greedily.

Seeing the bandits reincarnated one by one, Gao Han wanted to make an opening remark, but after thinking about it, he would just forget it. No one listened to it after knowing that he would say it. He simply took the lead in picking up a piece of fat meat, blowing the heat on it, and putting it into his mouth.

Everyone looked at him with a gaze. Jiu Ye's actions were a signal. Everyone immediately stretched their chopsticks to the pieces of meat that had already been seen, and couldn't wait to put them in their mouths. A chewing sound suddenly sounded in the Juyi Hall.

A bandit was burned by a piece of meat. He just took a breath and continued to chew heavily while enduring the pain. The other bandits looked similar, chewing in their mouths while staring at the next target.

No one talked and didn't care about talking. It was not until the four pots of meat saw the bottom that someone said satisfied: "It smells fragrant, it is so fragrant."

"Yes, I haven't eaten meat for nine years before going to Taohua Mountain. It was the first time I ate so happily after going up the mountain. I am content, and it's worth it even if I die now." Someone said.

There was a burst of praise and burping sound in the Juyi Hall.

"It's a pity that Master Jiu doesn't allow him to drink. If he could drink a pot of Lanling wine, he wouldn't change it if he asked me to be a god." Someone said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Juyi Hall suddenly became solemn. Everyone turned their eyes to a man wearing a black police uniform on the upper body and a pair of white linen pants under him. He was twenty-five or six years old, medium-sized, strong, with a scar on his forehead, worried that he would get angry.

This man is named Zhang Quan. He has practiced Xingyiquan since he was a child. He is very skilled in Kung Fu and is the second in command of Taohua Mountain.

Lanling wine in Shandong has a history of thousands of years. The poet Li Bai once wrote the poem "Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls hold amber light." It is loved by Shandong people. Zhang Quan's home is the one who brews Lanling wine. Last year, he was blown up by a Japanese plane, and only one of the six of him survived.

Sure enough, Zhang Quan slapped his hand on the table heavily, and the table was shaken violently, and the cups and plates on it sounded "bang" and "hello Japanese devils, I'm irreconcilable with them."

Basically, people in the bandits' homes died at the hands of the Japanese. Zhang Quan's words immediately resonated with everyone, and everyone scolded the Japanese Japanese.

Nowadays, when it comes to fighting the Japanese, there is no need to mobilize them.

Gao Han wanted this kind of atmosphere. He said: "Everyone went to Taohua Mountain to fight the Japanese devils. I decided from today on, we will target the Japanese devils and traitors and fight them to the end."

Although everyone hated the Japanese devils, they really heard that they were going to fight with the devils. They all showed fear and the scene fell silent again.

The Japanese devils were too powerful. They were not only armed to the teeth, but also had a high military literacy and a strong fighting will. Neither the Northeast Army, the troops of other local warlords, nor the Central Army, were the opponents of the Japanese army. Since the war started, the battlefield situation has collapsed thousands of miles.

Seeing everyone's fear, Zhang Quan was furious and shouted: "A group of cowards, if you are afraid of death, I will follow Master Jiu alone."

"The second leader, we are not afraid of death. The Japanese have machine guns and cannons, and we have no trouble with them. Wouldn't we go up and die?" a bandit said in a low voice.

"Yes, I can't beat it." Everyone echoed.

Feng Xiucai looked at Zhang Quan and said to Gao Han carefully: "The boss, you have to make a long-term plan to fight the Japanese. The most urgent task is to raise some money and food as soon as possible, as life is about to be unable to survive.

I suggest that we can find some traitors, landlords and wealthy people, and recruit soldiers and horses when they have money and food, and then work with the Japanese after they have trained their troops."

"Yes, Master Jiu, I'd better tie some meat tickets and exchange them for some money and food." Someone said.

The bandits on Taohua Mountain all became monks halfway, and they knew very little about the bandits' slander, so they said it directly.

Gao Han knew that these guys were all untrained mobs, so it was useless to let them go up. He said, "Okay, don't make a fuss, fight the Japanese, we still have to go together. But don't worry, I won't let you go up and die in vain.

Tomorrow morning, Zhang Quan and Jia Liu went down the mountain with me, and the others followed Uncle Feng to stay at home."

The next morning, just dawn, Gao Han and others were about to set off. At the gate of the village, everyone came to see him off, with a look of worry on their faces.

Gao Han is the backbone of everyone. If something happens to him, the village will be dispersed, everyone will be homeless and in chaos, and they don’t know how to survive.

Wang Sanniang was 35 or 36 years old and was a cook in the village. She handed it to Jia Liu with two bags and reminded him: "There are some dry food and wax meat, which are enough to eat. You must take good care of the boss."

Gao Han clasped his fists at everyone, said with a relaxed smile: "Okay, go back, don't worry, wait for our good news."

Gao Han and others went down the mountain this time and brought the most expensive things in the village: three Hanyang made, forty bullets, an old horse with a somewhat lame leg, and a donkey with half of his ears knocked out. The group walked towards the west.

The Taohua Mountain area is surrounded by mountains and its geographical location is very important. 70 miles east is the Jinan-Tai'an section of the Jinpu Railway of the Great Artery, and 40 miles west is the national-level highway from Jinan to Zhengzhou. The road transportation is very busy, and the Japanese army has heavy troops to guard it. With the strength of Taohua Mountain, they dare not go here to provoke the Japanese for the time being.

Gao Han and others' goal is a county-level highway connecting Pingyue County, Shoucheng County and Tai'an, 60 miles southwest of Taohua Mountain.

The mountain road was rugged, and Gao Han and others rushed to Mashan in Shoucheng County until noon.

Mashan is a hill, and the Pingtai Highway passes by the foot of the mountain. The vegetation is dense and the terrain is complex, making it a good place to ambush.

Gao Han took Zhang Quan and Jia Liu from the top of the mountain to approach the highway, and arrived at a small cliff 120 meters away from the highway. After carefully observing the terrain, he said: "You two are here. The terrain here is very good, and the enemy can't get up easily. The terrain behind is complicated, which is convenient for evacuation."

Zhang Quan looked at the highway and said, "It's true that this place is relatively safe, but the old sleeves in my hands and Jia Liu don't even have rifles. It's hard to hit the Japanese at such a long distance."

Gao Han said, "It doesn't matter, you will play a restraining role. As long as the Japanese attack, you two will evacuate immediately. So, each of them will give you three bullets."

Jia Liu asked, "Master Jiu, we are here, where are you?"

Gao Han pointed to a small mound opposite the road and said, "I'll go there, let's attack on both sides."

Zhang Quan said worriedly: "That little hill is too short. When the Japanese find you, they will be able to rush up soon. No, this is too dangerous."

Gao Han smiled and said, "Don't worry. You wait for my signal. If I don't shoot, don't do it first."

Gao Han came to the hills, looked at the terrain, and weaved a straw hat with branches and thatch, lay on the grass with its back, covering the straw hat on its face, enjoying the warm care of the spring sunshine.

"It feels so comfortable!" Gao Han muttered comfortably and fell asleep deeply.
