The gunshots were getting closer and closer, and bullets could even be heard whistling.
Sun Youshang stood at the entrance of the village and watched the villagers staggering all the way west until the last one turned around and disappeared.
Withdrawing his gaze, the village became extremely quiet as the villagers left.
There were no arrangements for the villagers to hide in the cottage in the back mountain. Due to the drought, the spring water in the cottage had long dried up and the water storage could not support so many people.
The soldiers of Chen Chong's platoon gasped for air, ran in embarrassment under the sun, and rushed into the quiet village.
Listening to the sound of gunshots getting closer and closer, Chen Chong's figure also appeared in the distance. Pu Buhuan next to Sun Youshang couldn't help but ask: "Do you think... we have to leave too?"
"However, I have not come back yet after I went out to inform the brothers in several nearby villages, so I have to wait!"
"Oh, you won't leave until they come back? Damn it, mother-in-law, please leave quickly!"
"Why do you kid talk like that?"
"Who do you call kid? How old are you?"
"You're a loser, get out of here!"
"Hehe, then... take care of yourself!" Pu Buhuan turned around and snarled at the two soldiers behind him.
The two soldiers immediately stepped forward, put Sun Youshang on their arms and left.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let go quickly. Hey, hey, can't I leave by myself?" Sun Youshang was helpless.
"There's so much nonsense. You should remember it clearly for me. You must be optimistic about Director Su, otherwise, hehe, when Company Commander Hu comes back... none of us will have a good life." Pu Buhuan suddenly became serious.
"As much as you talk a lot, you have to remember that there is no need to fight head-on with those bandit security forces. The people we sent to ask for help from the county government left on horseback an hour ago and should have arrived at the county government by now. If nothing else happens, , the reinforcement team will arrive nearby before dark!"
"You still count on those guerrillas?"
"Pay attention to your attitude! Also, people have been arranged to contact Company Commander Hu at the Nine Company Station. If nothing else happens, they will probably receive the news tonight. The fastest the team will arrive will be tomorrow evening. The supplementary group will also be sent If you go away, you should keep in touch with them!"
"Okay, you guys retreat quickly!"
"Hey, I haven't finished talking yet. These security forces were all bandits before. Most of them come here this time and have nothing to do with the Japanese. They are most likely coming to seize territory."
"That's fine, as long as they are not devils, hey, bandits? You think you can get an advantage by relying on the large number of people, so don't leave as soon as possible." After Pu Buhuan finished speaking, he told the soldiers next to him to protect him. Commander Sun Youshang's safety.
The organization of the security regiment is in chaos. Up to now, Commander Sun is the top leader on the surface. However, Commander Sun has a background in intelligence work and is very uncomfortable with military command. There is really nothing he can do about such a big scene. In fact, he looks like The camp's instructor also served as the local township chief, but this camp was not formal.
The five people left the village and headed west, their figures hurriedly disappearing into the bushes under the sun.
Pu Buhuan began to look excited, and with a greeting, more than twenty soldiers emerged from various parts of the village. Under the leadership of Xiang Buhuan, they rushed to the northeast of the village where there was intensive gunfire.
"Instructor Park, have Director Su and the others moved away with me?" Chen Chong fired a shot in the distance and asked Pu Buhuan who was running over.
"They're all gone, hehe, let's have a good fight this time!" Park Buhuan looked at the security forces more than 200 meters away and shook his head: "Shoot from such a distance, you loser!"
"Don't worry about it. If you can buy a little more time, don't you see that those security forces don't dare to push too hard?"
"Let's lure them to the mountain stronghold. I won't kill these bastards!"
"If those security forces don't find anyone at our station, they will probably harm the villagers in the nearby villages." Chen Chong was worried.
"If you have the ability, then why don't you go and evacuate all those people?"
"How many people do we have? But we can't protect the people with guns. I always feel uncomfortable!"
"Don't worry, Sun Youshang has sent people to notify the village team leaders. They are probably leading the villagers to find a place to hide."
"These bastards don't dare to fight the Japanese, but they came in a swarm of six or seven hundred to fight our own people. I must kill them all!" Chen Chong gritted his teeth. He hated the puppet soldiers who attacked the common people.
"You're so anxious. The correspondents have gone to the county, the supplementary regiment, and the ninth company. They will probably be back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow! Let these bastards be proud for two days!"
The sky was starting to get dark, and the security team retreated to the mountain village not far to the west of the village.
Hundreds of security troops carried dozens of stretchers and finally entered the village. They kicked down doors and entered houses to rummage through boxes and cabinets. Unfortunately, the legendary rich security team was no different from those poor villages!
For a moment, the village was filled with chaotic sounds.
Mr. Xu, who was urging the attack all the way, his voice was as hoarse as a duck's quacking: "Commander, I think they must have brought something to the mountain stronghold!"
Commander Guo stood on the side of the road, looking at the sunny cottage to the west without saying anything. He killed several security regiment soldiers in the pursuit, but suffered more than 20 casualties among his own men.
The long team of his men were still pouring into the village, exhausted.
Not knowing if there was an ambush in the village, he did not dare to enter the village rashly.
"Report to the commander, there is no one in the village!" A security guard with a crooked hat ran out of the village to report.
"Commander, I think most of them have gone to the mountain stronghold!" Mr. Xu added in a low voice.
"Even if they ran to the mountain stronghold, why are these villagers missing?"
"I didn't know that!"
"Where is that thief woman?" Commander Guo suddenly asked.
"She said she had finished her work. Before entering the village, she left the team and walked east." Mr. Xu tipped his hat with a shell gun.
After a while, Commander Guo suddenly spoke: "I always feel that this woman is not simple!"
"What's not simple? She's ugly. If I hadn't looked at Liu's face, I would have killed her long ago. I could have exchanged it with the imperial army for a few oceans." Mr. Xu didn't care. He felt hot and took off his big-brimmed hat. Fan.
"Don't you think...she deliberately wanted us to fight with the security team?"
"So what? We wanted this place anyway!"
"Have you arranged for someone to block it at the back of the cottage?" Commander Guo suddenly changed the subject.
"The third brother has sent people, and the brothers are chasing towards the stronghold. Do we want to go and have a look?"
"The third child is called Commander Ma. We are also a regular army now. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Traveler!"
"That shabby fortress has a lot to offer. You were there last time. It's easy to defend but hard to attack. Do you think we can take it down just by ourselves?"
"Then...what should we do now?"
"First, we surrounded the stronghold. I have been surrounding him for ten and a half days. I still don't believe that I can't trap him to death, surnamed Sun!"
"Then should we take over the nearby villages first?" Mr. Xu is good at this.
"In such a short time, I don't believe they can get rid of all the people in such a large area. You and your brothers immediately go to summon the villagers to lecture you, saying that this is our brigade's defense area now, and you will all pay me food and taxes from now on! "
"Do you want to ventilate Captain Xu and the others?"
"No, your distant brother occupies the area near the county seat. Our territory is now connected from the railway to here. From now on, when doing business with those bumpkin in the mountains, you don't have to look at that guy's eyes anymore."
"Then...should we send someone to contact the Eighth Route Army in the mountains?"
"We have taken over this place, and we are still afraid that they won't come to beg us? I heard... that Jiu Jiu has something to do with the Eighth Route Army!"
"Hey, he is just a small character. He would never have imagined that he got a batch of grain from my distant brother, and in the end he had to borrow it from us!" Mr. Xu winked and smiled evilly.
"Those people in the mountains have to get most of their supplies into the mountains from here. But in the future, we will send the goods directly here. Hehe, it shouldn't be too much to increase the price by another 20%. He's going to be a little bastard like Jiujiu in the future. Damn business." Commander Guo narrowed his eyes.
"It's a pity that there is not much money in this poor and remote place. Otherwise, for such a large place, I don't know how much the security fee will be charged!" Mr. Xu said with regret on his face.
"After taking down the stronghold, except for that woman, I will kill everyone else! Leave no one alive, and from now on... I will let Captain Ma guard this place!" Commander Guo suddenly felt very interested.
The villagers in these places are all poor, and even if they kidnap someone, they won't be able to find a target! He doesn't even care about thirty or fifty oceans now.
