The scale of the battle was very small, and Xiang Feng only took five minutes to count the results and ran to Zhou Cheng to report excitedly.

"Captain, we won."

"Zhou Xuhui was shot by you and could not die any more. Twenty thirteen died, and three were seriously injured. I guess he would not survive tonight. Five more people were captured, and they were not injured. Nine rifles, one box cannon, and three hundred and twenty-five bullets were seized, and the remaining five rifles were blown up by thunder."

"I looked at the nine good guns, all of which were made in Hanyang. Five guns are 60% new, two guns are 50% new, and the remaining two guns are almost invisible to rifle. I took them out as decorations, and there was not much use."

There were seven guns all at once, and a hint of heartache flashed on Xiangfeng's face.

Zhou Cheng showed a dissatisfied expression.

No matter how good these were seized, they were made in Hanyang, using 79-caliber bullets.

As the war grows bigger and bigger, the troops will definitely have fewer and fewer 79 caliber bullets.

Therefore, in Zhou Cheng's eyes, no matter how good these Hanyang construction is, they cannot become standard weapons for the village protection team.

Because I don’t have an arsenal and rely solely on seizing ammunition supplies to maintain the village team, these 79 rifles will sooner or later be eliminated due to insufficient ammunition, and will be replaced by the 38th cover that can continuously seize the supporting bullets from the Japanese.

So he was very satisfied with the result: "Enough!"

"I just checked it out. No one died in this battle, and only one hundred bullets and five grenades were used."

"These seizures not only compensated for all our losses, but also added seven rifles and more than two hundred bullets. I was already satisfied."

"Cleaning the battlefield immediately and burying the bodies. Remember to let the new recruits do it. It will definitely be beneficial for them to fight in the future."

"Take two more prisoners here, I have a few things to ask them."

"The box cannons and supporting bullets seized from Zhou Xuhui are also taken over, I'm useful!"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, on the road to Zhouzhuang in Xiaoling Village, more than a dozen people gathered around two large trucks. The cars were packed with packs of things, piled up like a hill, and looked very heavy.

Because there were no mules and horses, all the pull-up carts and push-up carts were replaced by manpower, and it was very difficult to move towards Zhouzhuang.

Zhou Cheng, the captain of the village protection team, hid in the middle of the convoy and pushed the cart forward like everyone else.

The five thugs carrying guns were all prisoners just captured by the village protection team. After hearing that there were only four people left in the Zhou family compound, they immediately decided to fight continuously and continue to eat the fat piece of meat that had already bitten into their mouths.

As for where the village protection team will go after occupying the Zhou family, will this military operation further anger the Japanese army and force them to attack Xiaoling Village in advance.

Zhou Cheng had already thought about it.

As long as the action goes smoothly, the village protection team quietly takes the Zhou family, Zhou Cheng has the confidence to hide the truth and delay the Japanese and puppet troops for another half a month.

If the operation is done properly, it will be fine if you delay for another month.

In order to achieve this goal, the village protection team was dispatched except for two members who protected the villagers back to the village.

The sacks on the cart seemed heavy, but they were actually fake. Except for the top bag containing broken soil, all the other wheat straws were filled with.

The rifles equipped by the team members were inserted in the middle of the wheatgrass and the buttstock was exposed outside. If there was an emergency, it was easy to pull out and participate in the battle.

Although the five prisoners were carrying rifles, their bolts were removed, and they could not resist.

"It's almost time to Zhouzhuang. Everyone is ready to fight and be more vigilant. No one can act rashly without my orders." Looking at the entrance of Zhouzhuang Village that had appeared at the end of the road, Zhou Cheng looked expectant of the order.

Just after walking forward less than two hundred meters, two figures quickly ran towards everyone from the entrance of the village, one of them was still holding a gun.

"Captain Zhou, they are two people who Zhou Xuhui stayed in the village to guard the house, and I know them." A prisoner mustered up the courage to report to Zhou Cheng, and then a look of eagerness appeared on his face.

Zhou Cheng knew about these prisoners, and they were recruited by Zhou Xuhui to the guards after the Japanese occupied them and pacified them.

Although they did a lot of bad things under the hat of a traitor, compared with those thugs who had followed Zhou Xuhui for several years, they obviously would not die.

In order to successfully capture the Zhou family compound and persuade several prisoners to cooperate with the village protection team, Li Hao gave them a special promise: as long as they make contributions in the operation, they will be punished with their merits and demerits, and the village protection team will no longer pursue all the crimes they committed before.

Judging from the captive's expression, he obviously wanted to make contributions.

Zhou Cheng asked directly: "Do you have any ideas to help us kill these two people!"

The captive nodded quickly, fearing that he would miss the credit: "They all joined the escort team with me, and they are very familiar with each other, and are not favored by the veterans of the escort team, otherwise they would not be arranged to be frozen at the entrance of the village. I can lead them to Captain Zhou so that you can capture them without a bullet."

The ultimate goal of winning the Zhou family compound is to not move the gun and not alarm anyone.

This man had a way to capture two guards quietly, and Zhou Cheng certainly would not refuse.

The prisoner ran towards the two of them with excitement. As soon as he left, Xiang Feng walked over and looked at the captain's back and reminded: "Captain, aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to slip away?"

"No!" Zhou Cheng was very confident.

"We don't even have a place to hide, where will he run?"

"And we have many people and many guns. They only have three people and one gun. If we really want to escape, we can kill them all with a burst of guns."

Xiang Feng nodded, but the worry on his face did not disappear.

His eyes were staring at the back of the prisoner and his right hand was holding the butt.

If the other party really moves, you can draw out your rifle and shoot at him as soon as possible.

Zhou Cheng smiled and said nothing.

After all, Xiang Feng is a new recruit and does not have as much experience as he has. Moreover, the first time he is performing a sneak attack mission under the enemy's nose, it is inevitable that he will be nervous.

"Captain, they are here!" Xiang Feng Changsun reminded.

His concern did not happen. After meeting, the three of them stayed in place for less than twenty seconds before running towards the convoy.

Zhou Cheng decisively ordered: "Xiang Feng, let your people take the gun, and immediately rush over and surround them after they get close."

"Don't move..." The two guards were still immersed in the reward they had just mentioned, but were suddenly pointed at by several rifles. They were stunned for a long time before they reacted, and then looked at the comrades who brought him over, with a confused look on their faces.

"I'm sorry for the two brothers. They are the Eighth Route Army. I was captured in the morning. The boss is dead. It's better for you to put down your gun and surrender." The captain replied with an embarrassed look and persuaded his two former comrades to surrender.

At the same time, he was pointed at by five rifles, and he had no chance to resist. After looking at each other, he chose to surrender without hesitation.

They are all from gangsters, very much. They know that resistance is to die, so they will definitely not go to such stupid things.

Besides, Zhou Xuhui, who hired him, was dead, and no matter how hard he worked, he would not get a dollar for him.

Hurry up and put down your weapons: "We surrender!"
