Crescent moon, gentle breeze.
The train has long gone, and the bright lights from the front are still swaying in the eyeballs.
Since the Eighth Route Army bombed the railway, the Japanese have set up gun towers on both sides of the railway.
The railway was just ahead, and all ministries had made it clear before departure. To be cautious, we still adopted the silent march method.
Soldiers who have never seen a train are still immersed in the fantasy of the steel behemoth.
The squad platoon leader continued to encourage the teams next to him and carefully checked the guns, grenades and equipment.
To prevent accidents, all kettles were filled with water.
Even if there is an insider, one cannot be careless.
I have practiced the method of crossing the blockade countless times, but I was still nervous when I actually arrived at the railway line.
After the armored patrol on the railway passed, he gave the order.
One log after another was put into the blockade trench.
One shadow after another slipped into the blockade trench, and the soldiers on guard looked at the Japanese and puppet patrols with torches in the distance.
"Captain Su, Director Xu, please go back."
"Take care of yourself!"
"Monkey, protect Sister Su Qing."
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this place now. I can walk there with my eyes closed."
"Don't be careless."
"Ma Liang, why do I think you look like a girl?" Liu Wenxia muttered.
"be careful."
Time seemed to pass very slowly. After a while, Ma Liang slid along the wooden pole to the bottom of the blockade ditch.
Under the wooden mark to the east of the blockade ditch, the soldiers began to lie up along the wooden pole.
The one who went up first dropped the rope, and the skilled man pulled the rope and climbed up in twos and twos.
Very agile in movement.
There were so many people, but the sound of crickets still sounded far away in the dark shadows.
The searchlights on the turret not far away occasionally swayed over, and the figures on the ground immediately lay down on the ground and stopped moving.
The responding divisional team members also looked at the railway line nervously. The dark figures on the ground were crawling forward, no different from the surrounding land.
Crossed the railway line.
The team continued to flow eastward silently in the moonlight.
Half an hour later, the team disappeared into the darkness east of the railway line.
Not long after, another team arrived...
The gray land, one depressed village after another.
It's hard to say that there is any scenery, and the eyes are full of hazy gray.
The plain is not all flat land as far as the eye can see, but flat but undulating terrain. Most of the villages are located on the south side of the slope.
The team divided into several groups, and the cold wind continued to take away the heat from their faces, leaving only a cold patch.
The chaotic footsteps mixed with the sound of breathing spread far in the darkness.
"The Japanese and the puppet troops are constantly raiding the villages near the railway. People dare not stay in the villages near the railway. The village in front is a fortress village for our development. We should go there to rest first..." the team member explained to Ma Liang next to him.
"The plan needs to change." Under the moonlight, Ma Liang slowed down.
"This is not part of my job. I just received an order to take you to the designated place to meet up tonight."
"Whose order?"
"Superior?"
"Who is your superior?"
"No comment."
"If I remember correctly, the village to the south is where Wu Dakui of the White Spear Club is stationed. He only has about twenty people under his command. I plan to kill them first before leaving."
"I'm sorry, you have no right to do this!"
"Why?"
"The Baisha Society has decided to move closer to us."
"That's not what the intelligence says."
"Because...Wu Dakui died last night."
"Okay then, the Tiandao Society in Xiaosong Village to the east didn't vote for you, right?"
"It's not on our marching route. There are Japanese artillery towers over there. If we go there, we'll probably be exposed."
"You mean I can only follow the route you specified?"
"That's right."
"Let's discuss it. Do you think there is anything along the way that we can see first?"
"No, the superior's plan must be implemented."
Ma Liang was stunned. He originally wanted to get off to a good start by himself, but he didn't expect that this young man wouldn't come in.
Not on your own territory, the situation unknown, almost blind...
This feeling...is uncomfortable.
Ahead is another blockade ditch, with a series of gun towers next to it.
"How about we take down that turret...?"
"Not so good. What's wrong with you? Do you know what it means to obey the orders of your superiors?"
"Hey, you don't seem to be my superior...right?"
"You have to understand that the plains are not as good as the mountains. If the situation is unclear, it is easy for the enemy to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress..."
"Most of the Japanese have gone south, and most of them are puppet soldiers. What are you afraid of?"
"Even if it's a small group of Japs, if they are targeted, the Japs have motorcycles and cars. How can we compare with them on both legs?"
"I mean, let's quietly take down the enemy's turrets..."
"It's not cost-effective. Now the Japanese have learned to be smart. There is usually only three to five days' worth of food in the gun towers. The rest is supplied by the court on time. There is not much ammunition. Sometimes the bullets captured are not enough to hit them."
"I see that you are talking about difficulties all the time, can't you say something nice?"
"Yes, I have?"
"What?"
"Fight the bandits and join the Taoist armed forces. Firstly, they have food. Secondly, their combat effectiveness is not strong. Moreover, they may have more bullets than the enemies in the gun tower, but the models are a bit mixed."
While the two were talking, the team entered the village.
Village entrance.
An old man with his head wrapped in cloth said with joy, "Erdan, has our team brought you back?"
The armed staff members quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Uncle Zhao, come on, the big troops are coming. Is the village ready?"
The uncle immediately shouted to the back: "My dear, hurry up and get everyone ready..."
In the darkness, an aunt's voice spread directly through the village.
The team arrived at the grain drying ground in the south of the village. After walking for nearly twenty miles, the load was heavy. After the team stopped, a small jingling sound was heard.
Gasps and curses came and went.
Not long after.
A figure emerged from the darkness, carrying a basket.
Then another... and then a swarm.
The shadow went directly to the team.
The soldiers on the ground quickly stood up, pulled their guns, and were in a panic. They only waited for the orders from the squad and platoon leaders to load the bullets.
Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, and the armed staff member next to him quickly stopped him: "Don't worry, we are one of our own."
"Baby, these are the shoes that his aunt delivered three days ago. Hurry up and try them on to see if they fit... oh... they really stink..."
"This is the food provided by the work team. I spread the bread and it's still hot..."
"Hurry up and take it... I only have one hen at home, and it's really good at laying two eggs in three days..."
The eldest lady directly took Ma Liang's hand: "My dear, why do you have such a big scar on your face? I really don't know how you survived..."
After saying that, a handful of jujubes were stuffed into Ma Liang's hand, and the aunt went directly to the next person...
"Hurry up and take it. Madam Zao has been here for two months. She has been waiting for you from the New Year to the New Year. The first month is almost over. You are finally back..."
"Baby, you guys won't leave now that you're back? Oh, why are you so thin..."
The team immediately became very excited, and the soldiers were a little overwhelmed.
Suddenly a figure emerged from the darkness and grabbed the shell gun of Ma Liang who was standing aside: "Sir, have you seen my dog?"
Ma Liang was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Who is Gouwa?"
"Oh, you are a murderer of a thousand swords, you give me back my dog, give me back my dog."
The aunties nearby were stunned for a moment, then quickly came up and slowly carried the aunt away.
Ma Liang was still in a daze, and Uncle Zhao quickly stepped forward to explain: "Sir Ma, don't be angry. Second Aunt Pei's eldest son joined our guerrillas and died in the anti-mopping up battle the year before last. Her second son died fighting against the puppet troops just last year." Her youngest son was only fourteen years old. He was captured by the Japanese in the artillery tower when he went out to deliver the goods to the troops. He has not been heard from since. His second aunt has gone crazy. She waits at the entrance of the village every day. Man, his front teeth were knocked out by a detective team member years ago..."
Ma Liang was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Zhao, they gave us all the food... we..."
"What are you talking about? If Captain Yang and the others hadn't sent food, the whole village might have starved to death... I don't know when this day will end. As long as you are here, this hard life should be over." It's over!" Uncle Zhao said and wiped away his tears.
Thanks: Dreams follow my heart, the first snow on the cold river, running with a smile, Dou Jianfeng, Lao Ni’s reward, canned fish, Wu Yijun, uncle 7775, 13600817...
