Moonlit night, darkness, wilderness.
In the middle of the night, there were other people sneaking across the blockade besides the Eighth Route Army. They might be bandits or smuggled cigarette dealers.
Tian Sanqi, who was hiding in the ditch, straightened his big-brimmed hat and wore it tightly.
Gunshots suddenly appeared in the direction of the south train station, making him nervous.
He didn't know what the other guerrillas would do, but the Nine Battalions were all bold leaders, so he was worried about the battalion commander attacking the train station.
Under the cover of the armed work team and underground comrades, I stayed in this area for a few days and learned a lot about the situation along the railway.
Along the railway line, the Japs led puppet troops who were familiar with the local conditions to carry out night attacks. Japs and traitors disguised as the Eighth Route Army were everywhere.
He arranged a guard post in the south, but the guard could not continue until the news could be sent back.
Therefore, Tian Sanqi felt that it was necessary to clarify the details, so he arranged for two soldiers with reconnaissance experience to go over and take a look at the situation.
The two soldiers crouched and ran southward along the ditch with vigilance.
The light in the ditch was not very good, so the soldier walking in front did not pay attention and stepped on a limp body.
"oops..."
The scout cursed: "I told you kid to be on guard, it would be better for you to go here and sleep... Damn it, get up quickly..."
"You can't even see a ghost around here..." The man on the ground had sleepy eyes.
"Didn't you hear the gunfire?"
Yawning and muttering: "I heard it..."
"Then what did you find?"
Under the weak moonlight, I saw that these two people were also wearing uniforms of the security forces. The man on the ground didn't take it seriously: "I found this shit, didn't I tell you... I didn't even see a ghost..."
"That's so long-winded. There was a gunshot over there. The company commander asked us to go and do some reconnaissance!"
"The company commander asked us to go reconnaissance?" The man on the ground yawned and said dissatisfiedly: "Wasn't there a shot fired at the station? It wouldn't be surprising if a brother accidentally fired at this late at night. What's there to see?"
The scout was stunned for a moment: "Brother? What brother?"
"Aren't the ones who stay in the town all our brothers?"
Immediately, the two scouts pounced directly on the two hundred and fifty on the ground.
I never expected to catch a tongue so easily.
Soon they met with the guard post. After some discussion, the guard post escorted the panicked puppet troops back.
Two soldiers with "reconnaissance" experience decided to split up. One person went to find out the enemy situation in the southern village, and the other person went to find out what happened at the train station...
...
After dark, the fleeing Tubalu flailed his legs very fast.
The lieutenant followed closely and led the elites in hot pursuit.
Shigenobu's method of chasing people according to their footprints is really good. So far, the leading team has been hanging behind the eight-legged group.
I just chased them from the east yesterday, and now I'm chasing the Eighth Route Army's footprints back the same way.
The lieutenant was dumbfounded.
If it weren't for Shigenobu's request not to destroy these Tuballu, the elites would only have to speed up from both wings and outflank them at a slightly faster speed. None of the Tuballu in front would be able to escape!
How could the elites be so embarrassed to waste their energy on running around at night with these cowards who only know how to escape?
In order to avenge the dead elites, the lieutenant endured the feeling of eating flies and planned to carry out this hunting operation to the end.
The leading team wearing tattered guerrilla uniforms suddenly stopped.
The sergeant leading the team stood on the roadside licking his chapped lips: "Report, something is not quite right..."
After chasing for almost a day and night, the lieutenant felt a little overwhelmed and stopped: "What's wrong?"
"The number of people escaping in the front...seems to be decreasing..."
No surprise! The lieutenant guessed: "Did Tubal Road divide its forces?"
"No!"
"There is no division of troops? What's going on?" The lieutenant was shocked.
"That's the strange thing. The number of people on Tuba Road is decreasing, but we have all carefully looked around the place where the footprints started to decrease, and we didn't find any leaving footprints at all!"
The lieutenant felt a little weird: "How many are missing?"
The sergeant felt a little nervous: "It's not that there are a few missing, but there are fewer and fewer... Now there are only four people left..."
The lieutenant was finally shocked: "What did you say? There are only four of the dozen Tubalu left? Where are the others?"
"In order not to expose their whereabouts,...the warriors did not use torches, and the flashlight mouths were covered with cloth. They followed the footprints left by the Eighth Route. At the beginning, they lost one person. We judged that there might be someone on the Tubal Road who could not escape. Move, be carried on someone's back or put on a stretcher..."
"Ba Ge, why are you reporting now?" roared.
"Because, the little footprints that Shigenobu-kun mentioned that appeared at the scene have always been there..."
The lieutenant wanted to slap the sergeant in the face, but he held back his anger and did not do it. After thinking for a while, he suddenly laughed: "It seems that idiot Shigenobu misjudged his sight. We have really caught the tail of the Eighth Route Special Agent Group..."
"ah?"
"Ordinary eight-year-olds definitely don't have this ability..."
"Legend? The Eighth Route Army can go up to the sky and into the earth..." Sergeant Cao was careful.
The lieutenant's face was ferocious: "Haha, I really want to see the legendary Tubal Road that can go to heaven and earth. If there really is such a person...don't they know to go directly to our headquarters? There must be something we don't know among them. Things, it seems, are getting more and more interesting..."
"Yes, I also think that this group of eight-robbers is not simple..."
"You immediately lead the warriors to speed up, go around in front of them, and surround them!"
The sergeant was stunned for a moment: "My subordinates are stupid, do you mean... to attack them now?"
The lieutenant nodded: "If we don't take action, these Tuballu will really go to heaven. Where can we find them?"
...
Not far ahead.
Four figures, three men and one woman, were panting on the roadside.
From dusk to dawn, I ran for nearly six hours!
At this time, it is estimated that it is at least more than sixty miles away from Baidaokou!
It is not easy to maintain such a marching speed in enemy-occupied areas.
There were quite a few monsters and monsters that he encountered along the way. Some of them were lying in the ditch on the side of the road with their eyes open. They had clearly shown their identity, so why did he use the knife on these people who were his own people?
The key thing is that all four of them were now wearing black detective captain's shirts, looking like ghosts in the dark night.
Li Xiaolian looked carefully at the moonlit wilderness in the distance behind, and asked casually: "I said... what on earth did you do that was so immoral... that the devil chased you for most of the night and didn't give up?"
Shi Cheng heard the soldiers bragging about the general situation, breathing heavily and smoke coming from his throat: "Well... we killed a group of their elites some time ago."
"It will be dawn if we keep running... We are almost reaching Shuibo Liangshan..."
"You are really good at talking about it. Our place is probably a hundred or two hundred miles away from Liangshan Mountain."
"I can't run anymore..."
"Then change your shoes and leave quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolian was not polite and immediately took out a pair of cloth shoes from her bag, exchanging words at the same time: "You think... Li Laosan can really seduce girls and the others?"
"He was the first to leave. He should have joined the girl and the others long ago..."
"Are you sure this method will work?"
"Hey, let's reduce the number of people as we walk. I'll see how the little devil chases him..."
A dark figure next to him suddenly shouted: "No, the Japanese are quickly outflanking me from the road..."
"Hey, aren't they chasing us from behind?" Shi Cheng climbed up from the ground and said, "Then run quickly... As long as you run faster than the devil, he won't be able to do anything to us!"
"The Japanese have been chasing us, which means they have discovered that our numbers are getting smaller. They are anxious..." Li Xiaolian changed her shoes: "I said, Xiao Shitou, we can't waste time with them, we have to leave now..."
"No, if we all 'disappear' suddenly, the Japs will definitely find out how we left." Shi Cheng said this and continued to shake his head: "Otherwise, I will continue to lure the Japs away to the east. The three of you are good at it. Leave first..."
"Let's go together. In this dark place, the little devil wants to catch up with us, and there is no way..." Li Xiaolian did not agree with Shi Cheng's suggestion at all. By the way, her sister was still with the Eighth Route Army...
Shi Cheng shook his head: "No, if this happens, we will all be targeted by the Japanese..."
Being held up by Li Xiaolian and another member of the Taoist sect, Shi Cheng felt as if his body was soaring in the clouds...
This chapter is not finished. For the content after the ellipsis, see the author's words...
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
If it weren't for the two people from the Taoist sect, Shi Cheng wouldn't be able to walk steadily.
It's not that he has never walked on stilts before, it's just that he walked under the moonlight with the wind whistling in his ears. He thought he didn't have that ability.
During the New Year festival on the plains, there are many people walking on stilts, and many ordinary villagers will do this.
Li Xiaolian didn't care: "The little devil has been chasing our footsteps. How did he know that we know this skill and can cover such a distance in one step?"
"Hey, if we all leave like this, the little devil will sooner or later discover those wooden stick pits on the ground..."
"If you find it, you will find it. What are you worried about? Even if the little devil calls the traitors nearby and finds us leaving on stilts, it will only be after dawn."
End of this chapter.
Walking on stilts in Qinyang, Henan Province is one of the national intangible cultural heritages.
The most awesome thing is to walk on stilts and carry a fire sedan chair. It has a long history and has been handed down since the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Chaoge is located in the Qihe area!
Baliying, the capital of Weiguo.
"Si Mu Wu" Dafang Ding is at the location where Tian Sanqi stayed... Military Attaché Village.
It was unearthed 39 years ago, and the news of the excavation had already been known to the Japanese army. The villagers were worried about being discovered by the Japanese army and buried it underground again!
