Although there was almost no light, Liujin could still clearly see the man and the dog under the tree.
"Stop, what are you doing!" The man under the tree knelt down and stood up. The hand holding half of the gong tightened the leash around the dog's neck, and a wooden stick in his right hand struck the gong.
The sound of the broken gong awakened the sleeping darkness. What was worse was that the gong rang in the dog's ears. The frightened black dog suddenly broke away, kicked a few steps, and rushed forward!
Liujin was lying at the foot of the hill. He was overjoyed when he heard the question. He was about to reply when he suddenly saw a group of black shadows flying towards him. Such speed, even in the dark night, was startling. I swallowed most of the words I was about to reply and spat out the word "grass..."
Of course, the secret service team is not a boast, they are not afraid of danger! Putting your hands on the ground, push your left foot hard, your body rises into the air, your right leg sweeps across, your toes are drawn in, and the soles of your feet are facing the black shadow. You have already discovered that the person rushing towards you is a dog, so of course you have to greet the dog's head.
One kick hit the head of the aggressive dog, and the powerful and heavy kick kicked the arrogant dog directly off the hill, and rolled down the hill.
Dealing with such a dog, the six-pound squad leader didn't pay attention at all. After his body landed, he felt a pain in the soles of his feet. He really moved around and felt a little painful. He felt that he should be fine, but he didn't dare to get up. Although the other person said something It should be one of our own, but it's not economical to get hit with a gun like this. If the person under the tree opposite has a gun, this matter will be a big deal.
He quickly shouted: "One of our own!"
Hearing the reply, the people under the big tree stopped hiding behind the big tree, and carefully took the broken gong that was taken away by the dog from the ground into their hands.
"Who are you?" The voice was childish and vibrating.
"*** Division... Special... I am from the Ninth Company of the Independent Regiment." He made a fool of himself, saying that he was a special agent company and could easily be misunderstood.
The young man clenched the shuttlecock in his hand and tried to keep a calm tone, but when he heard the familiar voice from the other side's words of "one of our own", he lost his vigilance and took a breath: "You come out first!"
At this time, behind Liujin, a group of soldiers followed him indistinctly. Liujin felt that there was no danger. If the enemy was really a Japanese soldier, he would have opened fire long ago.
He stood up slowly and walked quickly towards the big tree. However, without warning, the dog that was kicked down the hill followed him silently again. As the distance got closer and closer, the people under the tree also followed him. Finally seeing it clearly, he immediately shouted: "Wangcai, stop!"
Only then did Liu Jin realize that the dog's mouth was almost close to his calf, and he was startled again. However, the soldier following behind him had the bayonet of his rifle almost close to the dog.
Everyone stopped on the spot.
"Why are you still here during the Japanese raids?" Liu Jin turned around and asked quickly, no longer caring about the dog that had stopped and ran under the tree after hearing the order from the people under the tree.
"We hid in the ravine for a few days. The work team brought some ordinary people over. No Japanese were found in the south, but sentries were posted in the north, so we returned to the village." The young people did not hide it. In fact, they did not think about it at all. If you conceal it too much, you will lose your vigilance long ago.
""
While they were talking, a group of people appeared in the village and were rushing towards the hill with torches. When they heard the sound of a broken gong, those with rifles at both ends were in front, and a few people with shuttlecocks were behind. They trotted all the way, and when they reached the hill, they saw Watch the team on the mountain, and then stay there in silence.
A soldier from the special agent company turned around and left in a hurry.
Half an hour later.
Hu Yi stood, under the curved brim of his hat, looking around with narrow eyes and holding his hands on the edge of the table: "...You said that the Japanese are in Nan Aipu and the people from the headquarters have retreated to the east?"
A young girl glanced at the young man in gray and black patched clothes next to her. Seeing that he didn't speak, she turned back and said, "This happened a few days ago. We were originally in the village south of the headquarters. We were notified when the Japanese raided. They moved the people with them in advance. After arriving in the ravine here, they happened to meet Captain Liu and others who were also leading the people in the ditch. According to the information they got, no Japanese were found in the south, and it was not a problem for a large number of people to stay in the ravine. So, I will return to this village this afternoon.”
The mountain wind came out of the broken wall, and the pine torches on the wall swayed.
Hu Yi raised his face, relaxed his mood, and then looked at the young girl: "How far is it from Nan Aipu?"
"Go directly...it's less than twenty miles away, but there's a cliff over there and people can't get up there. To get there, you have to go around to the headquarters."
The girl's voice was very nice, and Hu Yi had some misconceptions. They were all short and neck-length. He couldn't help but think of Su Qing, but not as cold.
Seeing Hu Yi in a daze, a group of people followed suit.
A long while.
"How many of you can fight?"
"We have a team, and Captain Liu and the others also have a team."
Hu Yi knew that a guerrilla team only had ten people, which was different from the Japanese army.
The girl's eyes began to turn red and she continued to speak: "The troops fought hard and were surrounded and pushed to the cliff. None of the unarmed comrades surrendered. Later... they jumped off the cliff..."
"What did you see? How many people jumped off the cliff?"
"We were at the foot of the mountain, and how many people jumped off the cliff. I don't know. When we left, there were Japs on the mountain at the edge of the cliff. We... want to protect the people... there is no... there is no past... so... "The young man next to him should be Captain Liu. He finally spoke, his features gathered together and tears flowed from his eyes.
"Where is it? Didn't you send someone to conduct reconnaissance?" Hu Yi's voice became louder and higher pitched, appearing hoarse and revealing his coldness.
In the past, he didn't care about the life and death of ordinary people. He was a soldier, and fighting Japanese was what he was good at. This time, he wanted to find out the news.
Captain Liu pouted, but did not reply. He turned his eyes to the girl.
"I didn't send anyone, for fear of being discovered by the Japanese..."
The dim torches emitted light, and the figures on the wall were shaking, which made the people sitting there begin to have illusions.
Some people couldn't see him clearly, and the few people not far away looked vague in the dim light.
After a long silence, Hu Yi turned his head, walked to the door, stopped, and ignored the people behind him: "Find a few people who are familiar with the mountain road here. Now, take us over and have a look... Order! "
There was a snap, which was the impact of the six-pound squad leader's cloth shoes coming together instantly. He instinctively puffed up his chest and stood upright, waiting for Hu Yi to speak!
"Captain Liu, take the people out of here immediately, send people to the south for a reconnaissance distance of not less than five miles, and go south into the ravine. If you find enemies coming from the south, lead the people to the east, and send people to report immediately; secondly, you must not After contacting the enemy, all personnel will try to erase the traces on the road; the Ninth Company will rest now and set off north overnight in two hours."
Everyone here understands it. The order does not sound complicated. There are two main points. One is that the people cannot stay here, and the other is that the Ninth Company is going north to the battlefield!
Hu Yi saluted Captain Liu. This was the most solemn military salute he had ever paid to Captain Liu. It was not only because of the order he accepted, but also meant a commitment, because those heroic souls who were surrounded by the Japanese and would rather die than surrender were respectable. .
"Let's go." Hu Yi said, and walked out of the door. His voice was not loud, but it was heavy.
After going out, Hu Yi stood upright in the mountain wind, motionless. He felt that those who jumped off the cliff and refused to surrender were worthy of respect and should go and take a look no matter what.
He didn't move because everyone in the Ninth Company was surrounding the broken house, sitting or standing, and the people under the broken doors and broken windows looked at him silently.
