The sun sets on the plains.
A team was marching slowly. A dozen men in black were riding bicycles, swinging in front, followed by a sparse team of more than a hundred people, following behind at a distance.
Most of them wore yellow big-brimmed hats and yellow military uniforms of different shades. Many of them had patches sewn on their knees, elbows and shoulders. They wore tattered leggings whose color could not be seen clearly. Their straw sandals were covered with mud. Sweat dripped from their foreheads. Sliding down, everyone's face looked tired, it was obvious that the journey had not been short.
Two of the team carried Czech light machine guns, and most carried Hanyang-made guns.
The leading soldier walking in front of the team was dressed in a militia outfit, with his hat tilted to one side and carrying a distinctive rifle. He wiped his unwashed black forehead with one hand. His hands were full of sweat and he flicked them back. , causing a burst of yelling and curses from behind.
The big dog stopped and looked forward, then turned to the people around him and asked: "You can reach the town before dark, but why can't you even see the town now?"
"It's not far. We can definitely get there before dark. That old Zhou told us to take this road. Hey, how about we take a break? I really can't walk." The military uniform behind him is still intact. The people stopped.
The big dog also stopped, looked around for a while, and then turned to look at the team behind: "If it hadn't been delayed for so long on the road, we should have arrived long ago."
"It's getting dark now, aren't we just on our way? Hey, if we go like this, if someone in the team leaks the news, wouldn't it be all over?"
"So you guys have to watch the team carefully. If one person is missing, don't worry about anything and everyone will run separately."
"Where to run?"
"As long as you go west and cross the blockade, you can go anywhere. Hehe, you can go to the wine station or go back to the village. Or you can go south to find the old army, if you are not afraid of being included in the death squad."
"Being a death squad? Do you think I'm that stupid?"
Lao Zhou stopped in front of him and ran to the front on his bicycle. He happened to hear the big dog's words. It was not surprising. These guys have such virtues.
He looked up at the sky, thought for a moment and said, "If you work harder, we can reach the town before dark."
"I don't have a problem with that. You have to see if those guys at the back can hold on. Where's the girl?"
"On the stretcher in the back."
"Then it's such a burden. It can't walk ten miles, and now it can't even sit on a bicycle..."
If you keep walking forward, you will reach Kunma Mountain, which is a little further away. If you go south from here, there is Xiaoli Village, not far away. "
It was already dark.
The town is small. There is a city wall around it, but it is just a broken brick wall. It is much different from the wall in the county town that can be used for horse racing. The traces of repairs in several places are obvious. It must have been experienced not long ago. War.
The city wall is not high, and it has not been dark for long. The city gate is still open, and a few men in black are guarding the door. They have already received news that a team will pass by from the north, and the maintenance president has already prepared a reception in the town. Prepare.
The team that finally arrived was no different from the security team we had seen before. A few men in black were walking in front pushing bicycles.
Don't think that riding a bicycle is comfortable. It would be strange for anyone to be able to walk slowly the next day after riding it leisurely for one day.
"Hey, brother, where did you come from? Why did you arrive so late?"
"What the hell, I'm the deputy commander of the County Wanjinqu People's Self-Defense Corps. What the hell are you calling a bird?" When dealing with these maintenance traitors, the harsher they speak, the less likely they are to be suspected. The big dog would have been with those security guards. The group members exchanged their experiences.
The traitor had no suspicion at all and just wanted to get closer. This scolding made him feel more at ease and comfortable.
A man in black hurriedly stepped forward to guide the way: "Brother, we are the detective team here. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Commander Wang asked our detective team to prepare food and drink for you. If you can find something useful, just give us your orders!"
The streets of the town were all paved with stone slabs, and finally no longer had to suffer from the dust when walking. People who entered the town began to slap the dust off their calves in unison, making the entire city gate a mess.
Many people even took off their wet cloth shoes and walked barefoot on the stone roads in the town that were still a bit hot.
"Hey, Big Dog, there is a kang seller over there!" One of Big Dog's soldiers' eyes lit up and he cooed at Tang Big Dog.
"Remember the place, we'll take the sentry job tonight." The big dog remained calm.
There were so many people coming that the traitors in the detective team looked confused. This security group should be called the self-defense group. When did the team move so neatly? Didn't they just have internal strife? The commander ascended to heaven and changed his surname to Sun, but I didn't see anyone who looked like the commander? Didn't Commander Sun come?
However, the commander has just rebelled, so it is normal not to come. It is not bad to send a deputy commander.
In the town hall, another team was eating, drinking, and punching fists. When they saw a new team coming in, it caused a commotion, and they were alert with guns and knives.
These things don't look good either. They are eating, drinking and having fun, and there is no one to put a guard at the door. Unlike Tian Sanqi, as soon as he entered the town, he arranged for someone to take over the job of standing guard in the north of the town.
As a result, the two security regiments met in the town hall compound.
The leader who arrived first had heard the day before yesterday that the county Wanjinqu Self-Defense Regiment's cottage had changed its helm. The leaders of each cottage were watching the excitement. Everything had to be settled before they could give a generous gift to the new leader.
The man surnamed Gou relied on the strength of his numbers and did not pay attention to the commanders around him. He also controlled a mountain goods passage and took the independent order. If he died, he would die. No one of the commanders who usually call him brothers would care about him. He took revenge.
You know, the Self-Defense Group is known as the Thousand-Man Gun to the outside world, and no one dares to get into trouble easily.
A strong man stood up from the dining table, holding a wine glass and walked straight to the front of the team that had just entered.
But I saw people pouring in from behind, and the vastness was a sight to behold. If I looked carefully, I saw that most of them were carrying large guns, two machine guns, and countless short guns, and several of them were equipped with both long and short guns.
The self-defense group is known as a thousand people, and the marching and standing formation is simply beyond what these ragtag groups can match.
The strong man who came in first immediately felt a sense of oppression. The opponent seemed to be about the same size as himself, but he actually felt as if the opponent was like a thousand troops!
I heard that the man surnamed Gou was from the military. How can I not be acquainted with the trained soldiers?
Looking at the people who came in, there was no familiar face, and the guy felt a little nervous. It was not until President Sui trotted out of the room that he was relieved of his embarrassing situation.
"Oh, you all have been traveling for a whole day. It's really hard work. I, Song Gongming, the maintenance president of this town, received news yesterday that your department is going to pass through the town. Please prepare some drinks to cleanse the heroes!"
"Song Gongming? Ah, are you the one on Liangshan Mountain in the east?" Everyone thought that Tang Dagou walking in front was the leader of the team, but unexpectedly a pigtail appeared behind the hero.
The relatively strong hero who arrived first and the president maintained their jaws immediately dropped to the ground.
By the way, if the head of the family doesn't speak, who will be the one to speak? Don’t you understand any rules?
With the help of the torch lit in the town hall courtyard, I looked carefully at the girl, and she looked very heroic.
It is not a strange thing for the heads of various cottages to let their children come out to see the world.
"What should we call these heroines?" Seeing that Tang Dagou was speechless, President Sui quickly picked up his chin and changed the target of his speech.
The girl's big black eyes rolled, and she immediately made a small fist: "I don't dare to be a hero. My aunt's last name is Hongying!"
I’ve watched this guy’s drama too much, and his answers are pretty good.
President Sui is still a little confused. Didn't he say that the new commander of the self-defense group is named Sun?
This guy named Chang appears, what is his origin?
No matter what his background is, he will serve them two meals tonight and two meals tomorrow morning, and then we can send these plague gods away.
He smiled and made an invitation gesture: "Haha, it turns out to be Chang Yingxiong. Hurry up and sit inside. The drinks are ready."
Another hero was simply ignored.
