The girl was stunned, but she didn't expect that the other party would take action without saying a word: "Hey, hey, wait a minute, my aunt is from the independent regiment, haven't you heard of it? We have a company of your five or six broken guns, hehe, the machine gun is right Aiming at your head, are you still ready to fight? Try firing a gun! It will make you cry in a while..."
Under the moonlight, you can see clearly that there are only five people on the other side. Why are you bragging about having a class? Those who run away do not count.
Hu Yi was lying not far from the girl, with a focused look on his face, staring forward without blinking. The barrel of the rifle was wide open. It was obvious that the other party hesitated.
"You are also fighting against the Japanese. You are all our own people. What do you want to do? There is no Ninth Battalion in the Independent Regiment. You are impostors. You must have no good intentions!" After saying this, he secretly complained in his heart that he and his group took a detour. The reason for the large circle is that the enemy encountered the Japs in the north. This area was originally the activity area of the Qiufeng guerrillas, but the guerrillas were wiped out by the Japs two months ago! Missing.
The Japanese security forces had no opponents for a while. He guessed that the blockade might not be strictly guarded, so in a hurry, he went around and prepared to cross the blockade from this side.
Unexpectedly, something happened.
What was somewhat reassuring was that judging from the exchange of fire between the other party and the security forces, at least they were not with the Japs.
I was leading a large group of people on the move. I was already leaving in a hurry, but when I heard the faint sound of footsteps running away, I immediately felt relieved.
The order to fight was actually a bluff!
Since Lao Meng disappeared in this area, it is impossible for there to be so many guerrillas, but there is a young female voice opposite. The only possibility is that they have encountered bandits!
Xia Yong, who was on an escort mission, had countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
There are many people on the other side and I want to leave now! We definitely can't leave. We can only hope that the other party doesn't know our situation clearly. The other party is a bandit and is now in enemy-occupied territory. We're not afraid of what they might do!
Xia Yong confirmed the situation and nervously thought about countermeasures. He couldn't believe that the opposite party was the Eighth Route Army, because the situation of the Independent Regiment she reported was completely wrong. He often carried out missions to the military subdivisions. He had heard of the Independent Regiment, which only had four companies. !
"Act according to the opportunity. If the opponent takes action, you run first. You must fight and retreat at the same time to ensure the safety of the team!" He patted the soldier next to him and whispered.
"No, you go first and I will cover you!" the soldier said resolutely.
"Don't talk nonsense. There are too many of them. If you stay, none of us can escape! The most important thing is time!" After saying that, he took off his backpack and handed it to the soldier beside him.
The warrior took it and slowly crawled back.
"Why don't you speak anymore?" came the immature voice from the opposite side: "Didn't you say that you are not from the fourth detachment? That number has been revoked a long time ago. Do you think my aunt can't read?"
"You also said that the independent regiment has nine battalions, and you can boast even more!" Xia Yong just wanted to delay a little longer.
"It was just established, you know nothing!" The crisp voice from the other side sounded again: "Tell me the truth! What do you do!"
"Ahem, are you really from the independent group? Then name two people!"
"Wu Yan!" The girl thought for a while: The leader of the group probably knows a lot of people, so he just said it in vain.
"Tell me one more!" Xia Yong didn't know if there was one, and just wanted to delay time.
"Chang Hongying!" The girl had a dark look on her face. She had never even heard of Wu Yan. She was a fake, right?
"I've never heard of it, tell me another one!" Xia Yong was a little surprised. He seemed to have heard of this name before. He racked his brains and shook his head, but he couldn't remember it!
The two sides stopped communicating, and the girl cursed the person opposite her in her heart for being blind.
after a little while.
"Two swords high!" The girl spoke again, without any hope.
"Uh...is there anyone with that name?" He made up his mind and delayed for time.
"I'm just teasing you! Hahaha..." a popping sound sounded, and I wasn't afraid that there was a Japanese artillery tower not far away.
"Welcome to the independent regiment's defense area!" The girl suddenly remembered the ninth battalion she reported to, and it seemed normal that the other party didn't know.
The two sides have been arguing for a long time, one is stalling for time, the other is trying hard to prove himself, and the other is defensive. The girl can't mess up the independent group, telling half truths and half lies.
I don't know how much time passed, but there was a sound of footsteps behind Jiulian. Lao Meng followed Yan up panting, lying down next to Hu Yi, and asked: "It's so urgent, what happened in front?"
"We may have encountered friendly forces! We are verifying our identity!" Hu Yi was not very clear about the situation in the plains, so he let the girl do what he wanted.
"Hey, I'm Lao Meng of the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade, which part are you in?" The voice came from afar.
Damn, there was someone pretending to be an independent group just now. After checking it, I feel that the problem is not big. Now another Qiufeng guerrilla appears!
Xia Yong was excited, something bad happened, he must have met an enemy! The headquarters was disguised as the Eighth Route Army by the Japanese, and they secretly spied on the headquarters! I didn’t expect that I would encounter it too!
The Qiufeng guerrilla brigade must have surrendered and become traitors after being surrounded by the Japanese! This happens a lot.
Involuntarily, I became nervous and even panicked. There were at least two platoons on the other side, and I had only a few guns, so I was definitely no match for them.
After making a gesture, the gun bolt clicked again.
Fighting the enemy head-on is impossible!
You can only fight and retreat at the same time, even if you sacrifice yourself, you can still complete the mission! Based on experience, the team to be escorted should have already entered the hilly area, so you can rest assured.
At this moment, there is no need to take the initiative to shoot. If you can delay it for a while, take the soldiers around you and slowly retreat, trying to stay as far away from the enemy's fire net as possible.
⋯
The nervously advancing team stopped, and everyone lay down behind a slope to catch their breath. A middle-aged man looked at the fires burning outside several gun towers in the distance, and half of the escorts did not follow.
"What should I do?" he asked the soldiers beside him.
"I'm waiting for Instructor Xia here, you go to the assembly point first!" The soldier's voice was anxious.
"Here, have Instructor Xia and the others encountered an enemy?" The middle-aged man was unsure of the situation.
"After crossing the ditch, I found two people, whose identities were unknown. I never heard any gunshots. Logically speaking, they should be fine."
"I clearly heard Instructor Xia telling us to run quickly, and I heard him yelling to prepare for battle!" the middle-aged man asked worriedly.
"I was walking in front and didn't hear clearly!" The soldier scratched his head.
"The headquarters has suffered so much damage, we have to ensure that the cadres from Jizhong can enter the mountains first! Have the liaison personnel been arranged?" The middle-aged man felt that he could not wait any longer, but it was hard to say clearly.
"Well... you have to ask the instructor. The current situation is special. All the Japanese who have been raiding the mountains have not yet withdrawn. If you rush into the mountains without being able to contact the corresponding comrades, and you encounter Japanese traitors, the consequences will be unimaginable!" The strategist was helpless! .
Even if there is no loss, how can he complete the escort mission with six people left?
Where is the contact point and is the contact person fat or thin? Whether he was a boy or a girl... only the instructor knew. Japs troops appeared on the road to the north, so the route into the mountain had to be changed. After going around here and making a big circle, it was impossible to reach the agreed place on time...
A long list of questions rushed into his mind.
Before crossing the blockade ditch, I heard loud gunshots from the south, but now it became silent. The instructor has not followed up yet. The matter is serious!
The middle-aged man looked at the moon that had moved to the southeast. It was already past midnight, and there was no movement from the east.
"The others are hiding. You take two people and follow me back to find Instructor Xia." The middle-aged man made up his mind.
"No, it is our task to escort you into the mountain. We must first ensure your safety. I will take one person back, and you... hide here for the time being... If we don't come back after an hour, the four of them will escort you to the west. , Find a way to enter the mountain!" The soldier gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Anyway, we are not far from the blockade. Half an hour is enough for us to go back and forth. I pulled off half of the strap of the backpack, held the rifle belt with one hand, clamped the butt of the gun under my arm, took off the backpack, and handed it to the man on the left side. Soldier: "This is a medicine that is urgently needed in the mountains! Send it to the mountains at all costs!"
Then he patted the soldier on the right and gently loaded the rifle. Under the faint moonlight, the two of them crouched and walked quietly towards the way they came.
