Hu Yi was lying on the roof counting the stars, and the girl was talking to Su Qing next to him.
Su Qing was doing most of the talking, telling the girl the story of the Long March.
The girl is the one who has truly gone through the Long March. Su Qing also knows that, but now she has gone the other way.
There was a circle of spectators surrounding the roof. Hu Yi listened with great interest. Su Qing's voice reached his ears like the sound of nature.
Su Qing was talking about crossing the Chishui River four times, and the girl beside him was proudly adding fuel to the fire and pretending to cooperate.
The audience's hearts were almost in their throats....
Bang, a gunshot suddenly came from the village far to the west.
Su Qing was stunned for a moment, stopped talking, and the roof immediately fell into silence.
They were all waiting for the second gunshot.
But after waiting for a long time, the gunfire did not sound again.
A rush of footsteps sounded from the village entrance to the village.
Hu Yi looked at the figure under the moonlight, immediately stood up, picked up the shell gun placed beside him, and slid down the ladder from the roof.
A soldier supported a man dressed as a commoner who was breathing heavily and holding on to the wall with one hand: "The chief is okay...no, Lao Zhou is...trapped...in that village...to the east. "
After the man finished speaking, he could no longer hold on and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
The person who came to report the news was the militiaman from the village to the east. He was responsible for perimeter security and knew that the Eighth Route Army had troops in the village to the east.
He was responsible for liaison and security in the east, but he didn't notice the gangsters from the Returning Corps who entered the village from the west while it was dark.
Su Qing came down from the roof.
After hearing what the militiamen said, they suddenly felt nervous: Lao Zhou was the leader of the anti-Japanese democratic government in this area. If something happened to him, the consequences would be disastrous.
First of all, most of the contacts are led by him personally. After he is arrested, if he uses the backup contact method, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources to reorganize this relationship network.
Secondly, no one can guarantee whether Lao Zhou will rebel. Even if Su Qing believes in Lao Zhou's party spirit, even if he is a staunch warrior, the organizational confidentiality principle must be activated immediately.
There is still a chance now. The village to the east of here is only four or five miles away, so a quick march only takes more than ten minutes.
"We must rescue Lao Zhou immediately!" Su Qing decisively suggested to Hu Yi that she was a political cadre and had no right to give orders to the troops.
"Wait a minute!" Hu Yi hesitated and was about to ask the militiaman about the enemy's arrival.
"I mean immediately! Don't you understand?"
Hu Yi said with a dark face: "Okay, Ma Liang, gather your troops immediately!"
The people around him immediately dispersed. Hu Yi pulled out the rifle that never left his side, removed the magazine, and stuffed it into the gun. He walked up to the militiaman and asked, "How many Japs are here?"
"Well, it seems there are no Japanese. They are all members of the Returning Regiment." The militiaman replied quickly.
Hu Yi had a dark streak. Of course he knew about the Homecoming Group, which was just a bunch of rabble.
When Su Qing heard that he was from the Returning Reunion Corps, although Su Qing beside him was anxious, he felt much more relaxed. He calmed down and asked the militiamen: "You just said that Lao Zhou was surrounded? Wasn't he arrested?"
"Lao Zhou said he was going to Uncle Sun's house to explain something. When I came over, the traitors were imitating the Japanese and driving people to the grain field. Uncle Sun's house has an emergency evacuation route. If we go quickly now, we might still be able to escape. There is a chance to rescue Lao Zhou." The militiamen were startled when they saw the dark mass of people pouring out of the village.
"Grandma, can't you finish your sentence at once?" Luo Fugui, who was standing behind Hu Yi with a machine gun, could not give him a slap in the face.
"How many are there?" Hu Yi asked, then turned to Luo Fugui and said, "Pick him up and talk as we walk!"
"Oh, I can walk on my own, but only about twenty people came. There were still a few guarding the intersection outside the village to prevent villagers from running out. Because I was standing guard outside, I found out early, so I hurried over to report the news." The militiamen made it very clear this time.
"Those in black clothes follow me, and the others follow behind! All change into short guns." Hu Yi slowed down his pace towards the west of the village and immediately gave the order.
Then more than thirty men in black ran as hard as they could toward the village of Pao in the west.
Su Qing and the girl hadn't run very far before they gasped for breath. They really couldn't keep up with the team and fell behind.
A squad of female soldiers followed the team behind. ,
Looking at the sneaky and bent team trotting westward under the moonlight, I had to give up.
Because the road ahead passes through the middle of the two blockhouses, there are too many people, and it is very likely that they will be discovered.
The female soldier squad also carried a stretcher.
The girl's eyes lit up and she climbed up out of habit. Su Qing next to her pulled her down: "You are not young anymore. You can't practice more. You can't rely on others all the time!"
The girl was furious: "I like it, what does it matter to you? You can do it, why don't you run away?"
"Do you still remember how the Red Army came through the Long March? Do you really think you are a rich lady?" Su Qing said angrily.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she jumped off the stretcher with a curse.
He leaned next to Su Qing and said sheepishly: "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to catch the fun!"
"This is a battle against the enemy, and you still want to watch the fun?"
"Aren't they just a few rabble? It's just me and...Fox, I'm sure to beat them to a pulp, do you believe it or not?" The girl puffed up her little chest and said proudly.
"I believe!"
"Hehe, okay then, Sister Su Qing, how about you stay here?" Looking at the team in front of them that had already run away, the girl gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go take a look."
Lao Zhou was lying on the roof, feeling even more anxious. He knew that there was a large group of Eighth Route Army work teams stationed four or five miles west of the village.
Because of this, he was even more anxious. He was worried that if the Eighth Route Army heard the gunfire and really moved, he would definitely be saved. Once the battle started, everything would be over.
The nearby Japanese and security groups will definitely swarm in, and what’s even more frightening is that because the villagers in these villages take in the Eighth Route Army, they will all suffer!
He felt very regretful. Why did he have to go to Lao Sun's house? It's all your own fault.
What should we do now?
Seeing that Erniu in the square had been tied up by the traitor, the traitor gathered them together again, and the two traitors were leading Lao Suntou towards him.
Fortunately, I moved to a different place, and the village was just that big. If I couldn't be found, these traitors who sold their ancestors for glory would definitely take Lao Sun's head to express their anger!
The shot just now was fired by the traitor Yang Lezi of the detective team. In fact, it was just to scare the villagers.
There are traitors guarding the intersection outside the village, and there is no news about Shuisheng, the militiaman who stayed outside the village. If nothing unexpected happens, he probably went to report the news.
Thinking of this, I felt a chill running down my spine and felt bitter in my heart. What should I do now?
Go out and shoot to lure the enemy away?
The most important thing now is that the Eighth Route Army cannot be allowed to come over. On the plain, with more than a hundred guns, they are no match for the Japanese!
There are artillery towers everywhere. As long as the security regiments are under the command of ghosts and arrange their superiors in the shallow ditches in the open space, the Eighth Route Army will not even have a place to run!
He was suddenly as anxious as an ant on a hot pot!
This is an enemy-occupied area, this is the enemy's home base, and the armed struggle has just begun, and we have encountered such a big setback!
It's all my fault for not being vigilant enough. It doesn't matter if I sacrifice myself, but it's definitely not the fault of implicating the armed task force.
Su Qing is a talent in this area. Without herself, I believe she will do well.
Therefore, Lao Zhou silently rehearsed the oath he had sworn in his heart. He made up his mind and immediately left the village and ran towards the Japanese gun tower!
In this way, all these traitors can be lured to the vicinity of the gun towers, and it will be absolutely impossible for the Eighth Route Army to attack the gun towers.
Only in this way can the Eighth Route Army's fighting strength on the plains be preserved.
This Yang Laizi was on the list of people to be eradicated. It was only his fault that he did not take action in advance.
But discipline is discipline, and as the person in charge of this land, I should take the lead in observing it.
Be alert, be alert again! A small thing may destroy the armed work force, and it will really cost us our lives. We are not afraid of sacrifice...
