After returning home and finishing night school, a team meeting was held. First, rewards for this action were distributed. All members of Team One and Team Two plus Liu Hewen and Zhang Gou Wa each received one dollar, which was a recognition of their performance in the past two months.

Second, we held a swearing-in ceremony and all the newly recruited team members this year became regular members and began to increase the intensity of training.

Third, Hu Laosi gave a summary of the operation, which made the new team members Huang Kunyang, Wu Huacheng and others tremble with fear.

Fourth, we plan to recruit another 5 people to form a reserve team.

Fifth, launch a grain storage plan.

After the meeting, the team members who participated in the previous operation took three days to relax and adjust their bodies and minds. They were still somewhat touched when they killed someone for the first time.

Du Chenyu has been physically and mentally exhausted these days. He has been carrying the baby on his back every day and is nervous all the time. He eats one meal and goes hungry the next, and then goes to bed to sleep as soon as he comes back.

"It's so comfortable. It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a moment." He said to himself. People who have a comfortable life but still risk their lives to join the revolution are indeed worthy of respect.

In about 10 days, the cornfield was almost cleared of weeds, and 5 new members were recruited and all began newcomer training. One of them had been a green camp soldier and knew a little boxing. No one could beat him in a one-on-one fight. He was fired for talking back to his superiors. When he saw that they were recruiting farmers, he reported in.

During this period, my father went to Wuying Street to buy bullets and bear meat from Wu Han. Wu Han now had more than 10 people and 9 guns, doubling his strength, led by his son. He also squeezed out 20 bullets for them, and then asked my father to go to Baizhangguan to find their teacher Yang Chaoyi, who was the logistics manager of the militia and had some connections.

My grandfather dug a cellar at home, and after salting the meat he brought back from hunting, he placed it in clay jars in the cellar to prevent it from spoiling.

After his father came back, he discussed it with him and he agreed to do it immediately. Now the relationships above need to be communicated in advance, and Tang Zhihao will temporarily teach the school courses for a few days.

The journey to Baizhang Pass was more than 70 kilometers, and it would take 4-5 days to go there and back. My father set out early in the morning with He Cunyi, Wu Huacheng, Hu Laowu, a rifle, 30 dollars, two bear paws, two deer legs, and a dried pheasant.

It was already June when my father came back. The rice seedlings had been planted and the first weeds had been cleared in the fields. It was the off-season. My father brought back 6 rounds of bullets made in Hanyang, two grenades, and saltpeter. Overall, the visit went well. I could tell from my father that Teacher Yang Chaoyi still loved him as much as he did back then.

With the bullets, each of the old team members trained with 3 bullets. When they shot bears, they missed. Rifles have rifling, so the shooting method depends on trial and error. Three days later, a new team was formed, and the armor was changed to the "civilian protection team", and a new organization was established.

Captain Hu Haisheng, deputy captain He Cunyi who is also a sniper, instructor Tang Zhihao who is also a clerk, logistics and Du Chenyu, a group of 10 people, set out with two muskets and two rifles. Hu Laowu and Liu's wife will live in Wuying store in the future, and Huang Kunyang will train new team members to guard the house.

When they arrived at Luonanya, they announced that the target of this operation was the rich man Li's house. They named it "Fat Pig Operation" to avenge their grandfathers and to vent their anger. They almost capsized at the beginning of the year. Of course, the most important thing was to kill the pigs and make money.

They chose a valley and built a thatched hut to live in. The next day they sent Tang Zhihao and Wu Quan to disguise themselves as businessmen collecting mountain products and inquire about the situation. However, neither of them was from the local area and no one knew them.

In the afternoon, the two came back, and Tang Zhihao even drew a simple picture. The situation is as follows:

The Li family is by the river, surrounded by many families, only the riverside has fewer people, close to the woods, and they came back from the other side; the Li family is only half an hour away from the home of the Tan family guard on the dam. It is said that the Tan family guard has more than 10 strong men, 7 or 8 guns, and several horses. After the Li family was injured by them at the beginning of the year, both the father and son were injured in the calf. The son was slightly injured and fully recovered. His son has joined the guard team and is said to be not at home today. The Li family has two dogs. When I left in the afternoon, I threw poisonous meat nearby. I don’t know if they ate it. They also have two cows, a donkey, 4 pigs of different sizes, and several farmhands. Other details are unknown.

After dark, they all smeared their faces with charcoal, made up as bandits, and slowly approached the river along the woods by moonlight. They came to the riverside woods, which was only about 1 km away from Li's house. They saw that their house was no longer bright, so they left two people to guard, and the others began to close their eyes and rest. In order to keep track of time, three incense sticks had been dyed, and the guards Cun Yihe and Wang Quan reminded everyone to eat dry food again and prepare for action. They did not make any sound along the way, and tried to communicate with gestures as much as possible, and moved forward.

The Li family's house faces the river, with two main approaches: from the back and from the left. He Cunyi guards the left road with a rifle and also serves as a sniper. The second uncle guards the back road with a flintlock rifle. As the group just reached the edge of the yard, one of the dogs was startled.

"Woof... Woof..." It kept barking, barking twice and then stopped. Hu Laosi saw that he couldn't escape, so he had to face the dog head-on. He stood up and saw the dog rushing towards him. "Bang..." The dog was finally shot in the head, and a group of people with knives jumped into the yard.

"Everyone, don't move. We are the king of Chenjiashan. We only want money, not lives. Anyone who dares to move will be beaten to death immediately and the house will be burned down," Hu Laosi shouted.

The people behind lit tung oil torches and a pigsty at the same time. Li Long smashed the door with a hammer, and a hole was instantly made in the wooden door panel. After three hammer strikes, it was passable. A torch was thrown in first. At this time, a farmhand who was sleeping upstairs in the pigsty was about to slip away. He was discovered and immediately trapped and thrown into the courtyard. Li Long was the first to enter the house and opened the door. Hu Laosi came in and rushed straight to Li Laotou's main bedroom, but it turned out that the main room on the left was occupied by his eldest son and his wife, so he tied them up with a rope.

Old man Li lived in the room on the stilt house. After he was captured, they began to interrogate him about where his money was hidden. When they were about to break his legs with a few sticks, he even handed over a 10-liang silver ingot hidden in the mezzanine behind the shrine. All the jewelry, land, deeds, and bacon were looted within half an hour. The people outside also led out the cows and donkeys, and several piglets were taken away in one go. All the valuables, such as iron and copper utensils, were taken away.

Each person was carrying 50 kilograms of food, and seeing that half of the food in the house could not be moved, they had to retreat. Since they were leading the cows and carrying things on their backs, they could only retreat on the main road with torches, leaving behind the sound of groaning and crying in the house. It was very slow to walk with so many things and animals. After an hour, they had not returned to the camp at Luonanya.

"There are people chasing us from behind, three torches, at least five or six people," reported He Cunyi, who was left behind.

Zhao Zhengming and Zhao Rui carried the three piglets back overnight, while his uncle and Wang Quan controlled the three animals and went to the Luonanya camp to guard them. They took two torches with them, extinguished the torches, put aside all their desires, and prepared to fight the pursuers.

Ten minutes later, the pursuers came up and ran into their ambush. There were about ten people in a vague way, and it seemed that everyone had a gun.

"Stop, there are many rocks and trees ahead, we may be ambushed," someone shouted. It was a bit unexpected that their leader had some military knowledge. Now the team in front was about 50 meters away from them, and the one behind was more than 80 meters away. At this distance, shooting at night could only rely on luck, and people could not see clearly.

"Move forward 10 steps and throw the grenade towards the torch. Remember to pull the fuse," Du Chenyu whispered.

"There's movement ahead, put out the torches quickly," the enemy shouted.

“5、4、3、2、1.嘘……”,他使劲吹哨子,发出战斗信号。

"Boom, boom," the sound of a grenade exploding.
