Seeing the bandits in the post suddenly becoming nervous, Peng Dezhu hurriedly said to them: "Brothers, don't get me wrong, I have no malice! I hope my brothers can go and report it, just say that I am a brother under Duan Houzhong and come to visit brother Duan Houcai."

"Duan Houzhong!" The bandit leader repeated again. When they heard this name, they relaxed their vigilance. The bandit leader hesitated for a moment and said to a bandit behind him: "Go back and inform the head of the army and explain the situation here clearly. Go quickly!"

"Okay!" After responding, the little bandit turned around and ran quickly towards the mountain.

After the bandit leader ordered the little bandit, he turned his head to Peng Dezhu and said, "You wait first! Wait for our boss' reply!"

"Thank you brother!" Peng Dezhu once again clasped his fists to the bandit leader to express his gratitude.

Peng Dezhu looked around and found that the terrain of Qililing was not a very steep place. No wonder Huo Fenghuang and Duan Houcai had set up the post at the foot of the mountain. It seems that this is to make the post at the foot of the mountain give a warning immediately when an emergency occurs. However, thinking of the endless mountains of Qili, Peng Dezhu found that this is a good place to fight guerrillas. If the enemy goes up here, the people of Qili Village will have a lot of time to transfer. Then rely on the Qili Mountains and take the enemy around the mountain, so as to rely on the familiar mountains to give the enemy the greatest damage.

Nearly half an hour after the little bandit went up the mountain, when Peng Dezhu was still judging Qililing in his heart, suddenly, the sound of running rapidly came from the mountain. Peng Dezhu looked up and saw that there were more than a dozen people on the mountain, running quickly towards them at the foot of the mountain.

Peng Dezhu looked carefully and saw a man in his twenties running at the front. A woman was following him. Because the distance was still far, Peng Dezhu couldn't see what they looked like. However, based on his own judgment, he felt that the man and woman running at the front should be Duan Houcai and the leader of Qilizhai, Huo Fenghuang Yunhongpan.

As the group got closer, Peng Dezhu could already see clearly the faces of the people running in the front. When Duan Houcai's face appeared clearly in front of him, Peng Dezhu looked at the face and couldn't help feeling sad. He seemed to be blocked by something in his throat. Tears burst out from his eyes unconsciously.

"It's so similar!" Peng Dezhu couldn't help but say with emotion. Now, he was able to be very sure that Duan Houcai in front of him must be the younger brother of his team leader Duan Houzhong.

At this moment, Duan Houcai and Yun Hongpan had already run to the post, and they all saw Peng Dezhu's excited look. However, Duan Houcai was even more excited than Peng Dezhu. Looking at Peng Dezhu's eyes, his eyes were also red, and he stared at Peng Dezhu blankly.

Peng Dezhu looked at Duan Houcai's face and was a little stunned. However, Duan Houcai was waiting for him to speak, waiting for him to tell him the news about his elder brother Duan Houzhong.

He was just now with Yun Hongpan when he suddenly received a report from the Shanxiazhai Post, saying that a person from Motianzhai came to visit him. Duan Houcai was puzzled and asked why he was visiting him, not Yun Hongpan, the boss. The bandits who reported told him that this person claimed to be a brother of Duan Houzhong.

Duan Houcai heard the bandits reported and mentioned the name Duan Houzhong, and stood up. Before the bandits could finish their words, they quickly rushed out of the door and ran down the mountain. Yun Hongpan, who didn't understand what was going on, hurriedly rushed to the bottom of the mountain after Duan Houcai.

"You... are you my elder brother's person?" Duan Houcai found that Peng Dezhu was still staring at him blankly, so he asked first.

Peng Dezhu then recovered and nodded to Duan Hou with great force, saying, "Yes, I am the brother of your elder brother Duan Houzhong group."

After receiving Peng Dezhu's affirmative answer, Duan Houcai became even more excited. He strode towards Peng Dezhu. The bandits around him hurriedly helped him open the roadblock so that he and Peng Dezhu could get together smoothly. When Peng Dezhu saw Duan Houcai walking towards him, he hurriedly met him.

Duan Houcai was already in tears at this moment, and excitedly stepped forward to hold Peng Dezhu's hand and asked, "Where is my elder brother? Where is my elder brother now?"

Seeing Duan Houcai's excited look, Peng Dezhu really couldn't bear it and told him the news that Duan Houzhong had already sacrificed. However, how could he bear to deceive Duan Houzhong's brother?

Peng Dezhu took a few deep breaths, and after Duan Houcai kept asking questions, he said to him in pain: "Your brother, Captain Duan, he has already sacrificed! He died in the battle with the Japanese in northern Henan!"

"What? My elder brother is dead!" Duan Houcai let go of Peng Dezhu in disbelief, took two steps back, and glared in shock and asked repeatedly with his eyes.

Peng Dezhu couldn't help but shed tears, and nodded to Duan Houcai in great pain, and said choked: "When I was in Pengjia Village, after the group was injured, I was afraid of implicating my brothers, so I stayed in the village when I broke through."

"Brother! My brother!" Duan Houcai finally couldn't help it. With a thud, he pushed his legs to the ground and cried to the sky, causing Yun Hongpan, who was behind the post to shock the people in Qili Village, who were all shocked and shocked.

Yun Hongpan was the first to see Duan Houcai so sad. Seeing him crying so sadly, Yun Hongpan couldn't help but shed tears. She walked out of the guard post and comforted Duan Houcai and wanted to pull him up. However, no matter how she comforted her, Duan Houcai still couldn't stop crying.

Peng Dezhu endured the pain, stepped forward and pulled Duan Houcai up hard, and said to him: "Brother, stop crying. We have to think about avenging the regiment. At that time, the Japanese attackers who attacked us had already found out that it was!"

Duan Houcai stood up suddenly when he heard this, his eyes were filled with anger and asked vengeance: "It's that! I've peeled him alive!"

"I found out that the Japanese was named Xiao Hei Chunliu. Although I found out what his name was, I don't know where he is now!" Peng Dezhu replied.

"Little Hei Chunliu!" Duan Houcai gritted his teeth and continued, "Soon, one day, I will peel you alive!"

It took a long time for Duan Hou to finally calm down. Under Yun Hongpan's reminder, he hurriedly asked Peng Dezhu to go up the mountain. On the way up the mountain, he asked Peng Dezhu about Duan Houzhu. Peng Dezhu simply said that after he met Duan Houzhu, he joined the Fourth Regiment of the 33rd Division Independent Brigade, and repeated it from beginning to end.

When Duan Houcai heard that Peng Dezhu was appointed by his elder brother and the last company commander, he had already determined in his heart that he would regard Peng Dezhu as his elder brother Duan Houzhong in the future.

After arriving at the village, Duan Houcai's attitude towards Peng Dezhu made Yun Hongpan feel the same enthusiasm for Peng Dezhu. He ordered the people in the village to prepare a banquet to entertain Peng Dezhu well.

That night, Peng Dezhu and the leaders of Qilizhai gathered in the Yi Hall. During this period, Duan Houcai heard Peng Dezhu say that he had seen Xiao Hei Chunliu, a devil here on the battlefield on the banks of the Huai River. Duan Houcai immediately wanted to go to the Zushi Temple area on the banks of the Huai River to find Xiao Hei Chunliu to take revenge.

However, Peng Dezhu dissuaded him. It was several months after that, and Xiao Hei Chunliu must have been ordered to be transferred to other places. Besides, they were advancing towards Wuhan at that time, so they must have been nowhere at this time. Duan Houcai dismissed and went to find Xiao Hei Chunliu's plan to take revenge.

After Duan Houcai toasted Peng Dezhu with a glass of wine again, Yun Hongpan also picked up the glass and said to Peng Dezhu: "Sir Peng, I will also toast you. Brother Duan and you are brothers, and that is also brothers from our Qili Village! Please!"

"I dare not be a good person! Please, the boss!" Peng Dezhu said, holding up the wine glass and drinking it all.

After drinking this glass of wine, Yun Hongpan continued to say to Peng Dezhu: "Sir Peng, some time ago, Brother Ge and Xu Hu from Motianzhai, came to our Qilizhai. I wonder if you know this matter!"

In fact, after entering Qilizhai, Peng Dezhu always wanted to find opportunities to re-propose the incorporation. However, because he just met Duan Houcai, he was sad about Duan Hou's sacrifice, so he did not find a suitable opportunity.

Now, the fire phoenix Yunhongpan himself brought this topic out, which made Peng Dezhu feel that the opportunity came. He nodded to Yunhongpan and said, "I know that they came to our Qili Village by the orders of me and the captain of the detachment Xiao Houhai! However, it was because they mentioned Brother Houcai after they returned that I came over immediately to verify whether Brother Houcai is my brother."

After Peng Dezhu finished speaking, Yun Hongpan clasped his fists to him and said, "Sir Peng, I appreciate the kindness of the army. However, our Qili Village is just a few miserable people who have no choice but to become bandits. We don't want to be rich, nor do we want to be promoted or made a fortune. Therefore, for the matter that the army wants to recruit, please forgive Qili Village for not being able to obey the order!"

Peng Dezhu didn't expect that Huo Fenghuang would reject him so directly, and he was a little disappointed. Originally, he thought that Duan Houcai had a relationship, and no matter what, Huo Fenghuang Yun Hongpan would reconsider it. However, he didn't expect that he would be rejected directly.

In fact, what Peng Dezhu didn't know was that Yun Hongpan just rejected him directly. It was because after Ge Dahai and Xu Hu left, she and Duan Houcai discussed and decided for a long time. Of course, at that time, Duan Houcai had no idea about Peng Dezhu's Motianzhai Independent Detachment. It was even less clear that Peng Dezhu would be the brother of his elder brother Duan Houzhong.

Since I had thought in advance that the people from Motianzhai would come to persuade me. Therefore, Duan Houcai and Yun Hongpan agreed to reply. That's why Yun Hongpan just now directly rejected Peng Dezhu's incident.
