Before dawn, a few people entered the village, causing a burst of dog barking. After a few scoldings from the owner at night, the dogs whined low, and the village slowly returned to peace.
Under the eaves of a broken house, two figures, a small one and a small one, leaned on the wheat straw with admiration.
Xu Xiao watched the monitor gnaw out all the cock he had passed over, his eyes full of satisfaction.
"Little one, how much have you done?" Luo Fugui's eyes sparkled.
"Five." Xu Xiao smiled and replied honestly: "I handed over three."
"did you eat?"
"Eat it, but not the chicken."
"You idiot..." Luo Fugui pulled another one out of the bag next to Xu Xiao, still dripping with soup.
He pulled off a chicken leg and handed it to Xu Xiao.
"Hey, this traitor is so useless that he doesn't need to be roasted..." Xiong felt a little regretful.
Most of the team did not come over and hid in a fortress house in another village five miles west of Hu Yi's current village.
The Japanese patrols in designated security areas are not very strict, and they mainly rely on traitors to roam around.
To the west of this blockade ditch, there is a large area of the national army guerrilla defense zone. The Japanese surprisingly did not conduct a large-scale sweep.
And the security is better!
The reason is very simple. There are eight roads in the mountains, but they cannot pass through the guerrilla defense zone of the national army. The Japanese discovered this very keenly.
And few people who can survive in troubled times are fools.
For a time, the bandits in the national army guerrilla zone to the west of the blockade ditch, local anti-Japanese armed forces, security groups, guerrillas, traitors, and puppet troops each occupied territory. Most of them had registered with the Japanese and were known to the outside world as the security team.
In the troubled times, the Japanese did not come to sweep up, and the people did not live better because there was a big river winding through this land.
Most of the land is owned by armed wealthy people, and most of the people are tenant farmers. Various armed forces set up roadblocks to collect taxes on the roads, making the people miserable.
Without their fields, they left their homes and became refugees. Some people joined various forces and even became bandits. Some people begged, and those with connections went to work in the city. Of course, there was no shortage of people who sold their ancestors for glory.
Such a chaotic situation gave the Eighth Route Army, which was thinking about the common people, an opportunity to grow rapidly!
inside the house.
"Why are you here too?" Hu Yi, who was woken up by Tang Dagou, opened his eyes and looked at the familiar figure squatting next to him, feeling a little at a loss in the hazy state.
Su Qing had a cold face and raised her beautiful eyebrows: "The situation has changed, your mission is cancelled!"
Knowing that Su Qing would have such an attitude, Hu Yi enjoyed it very much. Was he caring about me? "What do you mean?"
A somewhat urgent voice said: "There is news from the inside. It is extremely urgent. Your whereabouts in Xujiazhuang have been exposed."
"What? How is it possible?" Hu Yi was shocked.
"You don't need to know, the information is absolutely accurate."
"Then, what are you going to do?" Hu Yi asked subconsciously before he could recover.
"The mission continues, let's change a group of people to take action." In the darkness, Su Qing's tone was unquestionable, as if she was the troop commander.
"I don't quite understand." Hu Yi was still a little confused.
"Last time when Li Yong ambushed a prisoner, he let go. This man happened to have gone to Xujiazhuang. He was from the Rangers. This prisoner recognized one or more of you."
"People from the Rangers? Logically speaking, they are also incompatible with the Japanese. Does this have anything to do with it?" Hu Yi slowly regained his composure and frowned.
Su Qing thought for a while and said with some hatred: "You used to be in the 67th Army. You should know what our relationship was like with the National Army before the Japanese invasion. Don't forget, just the year before last, the reactionaries also created friction incident."
"Then, why didn't the members of the Rangers report to the Japanese traitors? In that situation where the courtyard was full of Japanese traitors, we had no chance of escaping." Although Hu Yi felt lucky, cold sweat broke out on his head.
"unknown reason."
"Want to have a meeting?"
"No need, didn't we decide to take action tomorrow night? There is enough time tomorrow." Su Qing yawned unconsciously.
"Girl, we're in the back room, why don't you take a rest first?" Hu Yi suggested cautiously.
no respond.
Su Qing stood up and groped into the back room silently.
Hu Yi was no longer sleepy, so he lay down reluctantly: Has anyone seen him?
I began to recall the faces of the security forces under Li Yong who were let go that night.
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have any clue.
"Squad leader, why don't you go sleep on the floor, and I'll stand guard..." Xu Xiaojiang chewed up all the chicken bones in his hand and swallowed them. He was still excited after seeing the big world in Xujiazhuang yesterday.
"You didn't get anything else?"
"No, it's all up to the girl."
"What did you have for dinner?"
"Nothing, stewed chicken, tofu, chicken, roasted hooves...I heard the main dinner is tomorrow."
"Damn it, why did I register with the police force? I'm so unlucky." Luo Fugui swallowed back the saliva that flowed out.
I feel regretful in my intestines. If it hadn't been for Lao Zhou's mention, there was actually a portrait of myself posted at the gate of the city. If I go to the city in the future, I will be arrested as soon as I show up. If I go to Xujiazhuang tomorrow, there seems to be no chance. In the city There are dozens of traitors here, but tomorrow there won’t be hundreds?
Luo Fugui, who was full of interest, leaned against the wall and fell asleep, and Xu Xiao stopped talking.
He understood that the platoon leader had just traveled in the middle of the night and was very tired. He pulled a marching blanket and put it on Luo Fugui, turned around and walked out of the village.
...
The sun is rising high.
A pigtail swayed for a moment, then he opened his eyes and blinked twice. He was about to stretch out and get up in front of the morning sun coming through the broken window. Just as he relaxed his posture, he suddenly kicked someone with his foot and froze suddenly. .
Suddenly he jumped up and saw Su Qing, who was still asleep, and said, "Hey, Sister Su Qing, when did you come?"
Su Qing was kicked by the girl, changed her posture, and didn't respond.
The girl waved her hand in front of Su Qing's fair face, but there was still no response.
With a smile, he covered Su Qing with his thin quilt, put on a coat by himself, stuffed his little feet into his cloth shoes, picked up a big baggage on the table, opened the door and walked out.
Ignoring the people sleeping all over the floor, he ignored the snoring Luo Fugui when he went to the door, and went straight to the kitchen next to him.
"Wang Xiaosan, what do you want to eat in the morning?" As expected, Wang Xiaosan was busy while Manager Liu next to him was lighting the fire.
"Sister Liu, you're here too." He also said hello to her.
"I came here when it was almost dawn." Officer Liu stuffed the wheat straw into the stove and answered with a smile while raising his head.
"Make some of this and mix it into the porridge." The girl handed the baggage to Wang Xiaosan.
Wang Xiaosan saw the oil-soaked baggage in her little hand as soon as she entered the door.
His eyes lit up and he opened the bag: "My dear, are you celebrating the New Year?"
"Hey, stay up longer, don't let it get sour at noon."
"Okay, I'll cook a few more pots."
"How many people are here?" Xiao Hongying continued to ask.
"Our Ninth Company, plus Platoon Leader Wang and others, are all here."
"Oh. Are they in that village to the west?" The girl knew about this arrangement before the meeting last night, so she casually confirmed it.
"According to the company commander's arrangement, they are all staying there." Wang Xiaosan turned around and smiled: "Would you like to send some to him?"
"It's up to you."
At this moment, Ma Liang, Pu Buhuan and Tang Dagou, who got up early, changed into common people's clothes and were on guard duty at the entrance of the village, holding a small meeting by the way.
"You said we can really dodge bullets?" Ma Liang looked unbelieving.
"Believe it or not!" Pu Buhuan has already explained the principle of dodging bullets again.
"There seems to be some truth in what he said. It should be true." Dagou, who was born in the secret service company, is a staunch supporter of Park Buhuan.
"I have to go back and take a nap, you two can take your time." Pu Buhuan stood up, turned around and walked towards the village.
Ma Liang smiled at the big dog: "I never asked you, where does this person named Pu come from?"
The big dog finally realized that Ma Liang's purpose was to learn how to use two skills, so he quickly raised his head and pretended to look at the sky without speaking.
Ma Liang and Sun Cui have an unusual relationship. If they want to get information without giving any benefits, there is no way.
Ma Liang saw that the big dog was silent: "Why, you don't want to tell me, I'll ask someone else."
"Hey, don't worry, what the hell, I'm just thinking about what to say to you." The big dog quickly pulled Ma Liang to stand up: "This guy named Pu..."
