Several soldiers looked at the eastern sky and pointed.
The sky far to the north is really weird.
The sky seemed to be suddenly divided into two layers: upper and lower.
The upper layer is gray and the lower layer is black.
A soldier pointed at the sky and asked "Instructor" Zhang: "Hey, look at how the sky in the north has turned dark. Is it going to rain?"
After hearing this, Instructor Zhang raised his hand and put up a shade to look at it carefully for a long time, but to no avail.
Next to him, Li Huanzhang quickly spoke: "That should be the thick smoke produced by burning firewood on the plain!"
Another soldier was overjoyed: "It doesn't look like burning firewood! It looks like it's going to rain..."
Li Huanzhang said unceremoniously: "Look, if it is cloudy, then the entire sky should be black. Now the upper half is bright but the lower half of the sky is black. The black is smoke. Do you understand?"
"Oh..." There were nods from all around.
Minister Zhang asked Li Huanzhang next to him in a deep voice: "What do you mean when you say smoke?"
Li Huanzhang unceremoniously grabbed Ma Liang's telescope next to him and looked at it directly for a while. After a while, he stopped and said, "Oh, no, it's probably the Japanese who are burning down the village!"
"How do you know?" Ma Liang was stunned. Even with a telescope, he couldn't be clairvoyant!
"Hehe, you see, first someone was setting a fire, and the smoke was blowing everywhere with the wind. Then when the fire became bigger, the smoke started to float high in the sky. As for why the village was burned, you think about it, besides burning The fire in the house cannot be that big. Pay attention to the lower half of the smoke. It is now black with red light because the firelight has turned the sky red. Do you understand now?
"Oh, that's what happened!"
"Could it be that the devils are doing evil again..."
Some soldiers subconsciously asked: "Hey, how do you know so much?"
"I stay on the plains every day, of course I know."
"I thought it was going to rain?"
...
On a moonlit night, on hills, on a winding path down a gentle slope.
With a hundred miles of defense line, it is impossible for the Japanese to establish a watertight defense line in the area where the two sides are fighting and confronting each other.
Just occupying a strategic location, the Japanese did not believe that the Chinese army would dare to attack their offensive line.
With the help of friendly forces, the student team passed through the fighting area between the two sides again without any danger.
The traffic officer who came to respond was already waiting on the hillside.
Separation is imminent.
Li Huanzhang looked at Ma Liang: "Brother Ma, if you have the opportunity to come to the fifth district, remember to notify me!"
Ma Liang smiled: "Okay, don't worry about mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Wait for two or three months and we will meet again after school starts."
Li Huanzhang was poor and had nothing good on him, so he had to take out his treasured things: "Hey, girl, we are poor and have nothing good to give you. This is a medal I won last time. I give it to you as a souvenir."
"Can I give this as a gift?" The girl looked at the medal with stars in her eyes under the moonlight.
The girl immediately pulled out a holstered rifle from Luo Fugui's bag next to her and handed it to Li Huanzhang: "I know you like to use rifles. If you encounter an enemy in the future, shoot as Hu Yi said at close range. This gun Although it has no accuracy, it has a fast rate of fire and is more powerful than ordinary small pistols. If used properly, it can be equivalent to a light machine gun."
Hu Yi gave his telescope to Minister Zhang.
Minister Zhang declined but accepted: "Where did you get so many things?"
The pigtail shook his head and said, "Hey, if you fight this guy too many times, you can always get something good."
After the girl finished speaking, she handed a pile of banknotes she found from Luo Fugui's big bag to Minister Zhang.
Minister Zhang was stunned and immediately said seriously: "Did you seize it or hand it over?"
The girl didn't care: "You are overthinking this. This is the fund approved by the political commissar when we left... This is the Japanese military ticket. It is of no use in the mountains. It is only useful in enemy-occupied areas. This is what we borrowed... You have to pay it back!”
Minister Zhang looked doubtful. He didn't believe it at all. He had no time to pursue it at this time: "Hey, your Ninth Company promised to get Captain Liang a command knife. If you have a chance, don't forget to get one for me too."
Minister Zhang took the banknotes unceremoniously and immediately shook hands with everyone present from the Nine Company and said goodbye.
He took the students brought directly from the division and disappeared into the darkness to the east together with Li Huanzhang.
Crossing the blockade and operating in enemy-occupied areas would be absolutely impossible without the guidance of a traffic officer who is very familiar with the local terrain.
The detective team organized by the Japanese Special High School and the traitors who maintained the association set up checkpoints under the stimulation of high rewards. The night team was working day and night to spy on and arrest the rebels. The possibility of being discovered by the enemy's informants everywhere was very high. high.
Hu Yi took several commanders from the Ninth Company and joined the two traffic officers who came to respond: Zhao Tie from the First Company and Kuaiji from the Second Company.
Ma Liang and Kuaishan walked cautiously at the front of the team.
Hu Yi, Xiao Hongying, Tang Dagou, Luo Fugui, and Li Xiang followed closely behind.
Xiao Hongying looked at Zhao Tie who came to meet him and said in a very happy mood: "Zhao Tie, when did your company leave the plain?"
Tiedan saw that this person suddenly changed his name, and he was not used to it: "The wine station received a call from the foot of the mountain the night before yesterday, saying that the puppet army was conducting a large-scale sweep. The regiment leader ordered our first company and the second company to go out of the mountain that night. We arrived here last night and temporarily joined the Second Company."
"Japanese raids? Then if you don't arrange to relocate the villagers in the mountains, why are you still running out of the mountains?"
"The situation is different this time. It is said that only the puppet troops are acting. Gao Yidao plans to take the opportunity to recruit the puppet troops of the Xinglong Town Battalion Commander. By the way, you don't know yet...all the half-immortals in your company have been invited by him. Come here..."
The girl was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about? That bastard Gao Yidao actually transferred the soldiers of our Ninth Company?"
Tiedan thought of the 2nd and 9th company, and quickly added: "Hey, this time the leader personally came out to arrange it!"
"Uncle the regimental commander is also out? Where is your company commander Wu Yan?"
"I don't know. I left earlier. When I came, the company commander took people to Xinglong Town. He said that he wanted to support the second company in reorganizing the security army. If nothing happens, the regiment commander should be near Xinglong Town with the first and second companies. "
"Aren't the enemies conducting a raid? How can they negotiate with the security forces to recruit them?"
"How do I know? After I send you back, I have other tasks. I asked you...can you walk faster?"
"Didn't you see that I was running away?" The girl gasped and rolled her eyes under the moonlight.
"Are you planning to return to the ninth company station in the north? Lao Qin and Lao Meng have already moved there with their people."
The village ahead radiates light.
Ma Liang squatted on the hillside on the west side of the village.
Hu Yi asked Ma Liang: "What's going on?"
"There are enemies raiding the village ahead." Ma Liang replied quietly.
Quick Legs scouted around the perimeter of the village where the enemy had a bonfire in the dark. After lighting a fire in the east, he quickly returned to Ma Liang's position in the west.
Report in a low voice: "We have a hidden line in the village. When I came here, no enemies were found in this village. It is estimated that the puppet troops who were conducting sweeps and sweeps came here."
"How many enemies are there?" Ma Liang asked.
Quick Legs looked in the direction of the village and quickly replied: "I don't know yet. Wait a moment. I have sent a signal. The hidden line will find a way to slip out and contact us."
Luo Fugui, who was next to him, after hearing what Kuaishan said about the situation, interjected: "Can't we just go around your grandma's house?"
Kuaishan looked at Luo Fugui in the dark and said, "The puppet army is dispatching in a large scale. We must first understand the enemy's movements before diving into the enemy's encirclement."
