Shortly after the sun rose, a figure dressed as an ordinary person ran quickly to the top of a hillside, lay down and looked to the north.
Under the misty morning sun, on the distant hillside are the ruins of a familiar village.
In the recently harvested crop fields outside the village, not even a single villager was seen.
Not long after, another figure came to the top of the slope, but it was a neatly dressed Eighth Route Army soldier.
"what's the situation?"
"There is a situation. There were people in this village when I came last time, but now I don't see anyone!"
"In this case, you go over and take a look first."
The people dressed up carefully retreated down the hillside and joined the leading team behind them at the bottom of the hillside.
"Report to the battalion commander, there may be a situation in the village ahead!" The team came from Wang Peng Camp. The supplementary team received a request for help from the security team. For some unknown reason, the team arrived too late.
Not long after, the two left the team, each carrying a basket of herbs, and hurried off the road toward the northeastern village.
The rear company's brigade was not hiding under the hillside. Time was tight and they had to march during the day!
The leading soldier walking in front looked at the village getting closer and closer. The two of them looked at each other and felt that something was wrong!
The village is too quiet.
Although they had known for a long time that the Ninth Company had penetrated into the supplementary regiment's defense area, the leading soldiers were only happy. Together with the battalion commander, they had been dealing with the Ninth Company for a long time, and they did not distinguish each other at all. What's more, they were still relatives.
"Squad leader, could it be that we arrived too late and the security group was wiped out by the security forces?" A top soldier couldn't help but ask.
The squad leader frowned slightly: "Don't say anything. Let's pretend we are just passing through and continue walking east after passing the village."
Being a leading soldier must be bold and careful. The two of them strode along the path more than a hundred meters south of the village, as if they didn't care about the situation in the village.
The squad leader's idea was very simple. The two of them came here blatantly. If there were security forces in the village, they would have discovered it long ago. They had to keep a distance from the village. Even if there were security forces in the village, they might not be able to hit him when they fired.
It was already bright, but the village was still silent.
"I'll go in first and take a look, you're responsible for covering!" After the squad leader said that, he threw the basket on his back on the ground, pulled away his legs and ran towards the village.
He felt that even if there were people in the village, the direction of defense should be towards the large group of troops behind them in the southwest. Even if there were people here, there would definitely not be many.
A hundred meters away, and more than ten seconds later, the squad leader rushed into the village.
Just as I climbed over a courtyard wall, a voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Stop, don't move, raise your hands immediately, or I will not recognize you with my gun!"
"Don't shoot, one of our own?" The voice startled the squad leader, but he remained calm and composed. He was wearing ordinary people's clothes and wanted to find out the other party's details first.
"One of our own? What the hell are you doing? Tell me the truth!" The people in the house had no intention of coming out, and the muzzles of two black guns were placed at the window.
"What do you do?" The squad leader raised his hand. He planned to admit that he was a security force first. The Eighth Route Army had a tradition of not killing people when they surrendered their guns. It would not be too late to reveal his identity when the time came.
"I'm asking you, how dare you ask me? You don't want to live anymore, do you?" A gun was put away in the room, and a figure appeared in the uniform of the security army.
"Well, I'm delivering a message to the security forces!" The squad leader immediately said the words he had thought of.
"Hey, it turns out to be a friendly army. Let's put the guy on your waist on the ground first. He's wearing civilian clothes..." The little soldier who came out of the room paused for a moment: "Hey, I think you look familiar..."
The person on the ground also looked familiar to the person in front of him who was wearing a security army uniform, but this person changed into a military uniform. However, there were only a few people in the Ninth Company who could get into armored vehicles. The memory was profound, and he suddenly thought: "Are you a monkey? "
"Damn it, which part are you from?"
"Hey, I'm from Wang Pengnian!" the squad leader on the ground quickly replied.
"Uh..." Monkey finally remembered that not long ago, we all fought against Japanese soldiers together, although we were not very familiar with this person.
Someone who has been a thief has a good memory. It seems that he has met this guy before: "Why did you sneak into the village?"
"Didn't your security team ask for help? We are just here for reinforcements!" The squad leader got up from the ground and patted the dust on his body: "Didn't your Ninth Company stay on the plain? Why are you back so soon?"
"We have been traveling for three days...Our Ninth Company now has bicycles. Can we march at a speed comparable to that of you bumpkins from the mountains?" Monkey replied proudly.
""
Half an hour later, Wang Penglian arrived at the village south of the security group's station.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, a young man in his mid-twenties who came over after getting the news stood at the entrance of the village and extended his hand to Wang Peng: "Let me introduce, my surname is Zhang and my name is Zhang Yi. I am temporarily in charge of the security team's security work!"
"Director Zhang?" Zhang Yi has never met Wang Peng, but he has heard of this director: "Why are you here?"
Everyone used to belong to the supplementary group, but this time, for some reason, they all joined the independent group.
"Hey, do you know me?" Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then approached Wang Peng and whispered: "Let's talk business first. You should explain it to your comrades immediately. You are not allowed to tell anyone that this is the headquarters of the Ninth Company. If anyone If you ask, just say it’s where the security team is stationed!”
"What do you mean?" Wang Peng suddenly became alert.
"It's not interesting. This is the security group's defense area under the security army. Do you understand?"
"Uh, okay!" Wang Peng casually put his hand on the holster of his gun. The newly acquired speed-slower machine hadn't been turned on yet.
Could it be that the security forces really captured the security regiment incorporated by the Ninth Company? Could this director... have also surrendered to the enemy?
"Hey, don't be nervous, and don't look at me with that look. I know your relationship with Jiulian Company very well. Company Commander Hu will be here in a moment. This time I have to tolerate you first!" Zhang Yi seemed to have seen through Wang Peng. The idea is explained immediately.
Wang Peng looked at Director Zhang with some confusion and asked in a low voice: "Isn't the security team absorbed by the Ninth Company? What's going on?"
On the road north of the village, a dozen bicycles were heading south on the bumpy road.
The sharp-eyed soldier next to him immediately looked at the braid behind a certain figure and shouted at the top of his voice: "Girl!"
"Shut up!" Wang Peng shouted.
After a while, the little girl jumped off the back seat of the bicycle behind Hu Yi.
Hu Yi put the bicycle into the hands of the soldiers next to him, took two steps forward, and suddenly smiled: "Your reinforcements are coming very slowly this time!"
Wang Peng reached out and shook Hu Yi's hand: "Haha, I thought you didn't come back from the plains. I didn't expect you to come back so quickly! You exchange a shotgun for a cannon..."
"Hey, Wang Peng, you are so close, how did you get here?"
Wang Peng knew Xiao Hongying's status in the Ninth Company and was a little frustrated: "Look what you said, if the advancing team hadn't been found in the mountains, we would have arrived long ago!"
When the little girl heard this, she immediately became furious: "What? Found the advance team again? Where are they? What's going on?"
"A group of spies disguised themselves as an eight-pronged team and went into the mountains. They were discovered by the militiamen and exchanged fire. After we got the news, the whole group dispatched, but these guys were really powerful in combat, so we still let them escape."
"Escaped? Where did he escape?" The little girl suddenly changed the topic: "No, how could the militiamen find out about the advance team?"
Since the headquarters was attacked, the division has strengthened its defense forces. The militiamen are all careful. During this time, our troops are responding to large-scale production. There are no troop movements. Those who are not working are all carrying guns. What else can they do? people?
"Ah? Anyone who dares to work without doing anything is suspected?" The little girl didn't know why she was talking so much that even Hu Yi didn't interrupt: "Captain Wang, you guys have been traveling all night and haven't eaten yet, right?"
He had been calling Wang Peng by his first name before, but this time for some reason he was given the title. However, he demoted Wang Peng by one level. Without waiting for Wang Peng to reply, he immediately turned around and gave instructions to Xu Xiao, the follower behind him. : "Go get them something to eat immediately!"
Hu Yi next to him had time to make eye contact with Wang Peng. The two men seemed to have nothing to say.
Hu Yi didn't talk much. He was a little embarrassed when he fainted yesterday.
While sleeping in bed pretending to have a headache, I finally figured out something. If I hadn't heard Wang Peng coming this time, I wouldn't have wanted to get up at all.
But Director Zhang came up with a trump card: the location of Jiulian Company must be kept secret. Wang Penglian knew too many people in Jiulian Company, so the news would inevitably leak out.
Therefore, I had to get up and rush to the station with Director Zhang who set off first to meet Wang Peng in the village to the south.
However, the sun in the sky is really beautiful today.
Feel the warmth on your body.
Although there is no one in the wilderness, it feels like the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
As for the advance team Wang Peng said he found, it was in the mountains. What did he care about?
End of this chapter.
I worked two days of overtime on the weekend...
Let’s talk about the recommended things. The military is the least popular. There are so few people watching it. I can’t really blame the brothers. Looking at the top rankings, most of them are about time travel and cultivating immortals. Of course, everyone seems to enjoy the refreshing article.
There is not a big market for our kind of writing. It’s not that no one writes it, but it’s difficult to pass the review.
Let’s talk about recommendations: for history, the highest recommendation per week is more than 200,000, and for military, the highest is more than 4,000, and we have one thousand and one.
So, all deserters, please read at the next starting point, sign in every day, and vote for recommendation (it doesn’t cost anything).
Of course, if you can subscribe, let’s rush together...
By the way, the overall military ranking has reached 89th.
I am confident that I can surpass those in the time travel category...
What about the deserters?
