The moonlit night was heavy, and the mountains stretched into the distant sky like ink.
The mountain wind whistled low, and the late spring night was bitingly cold.
The sky is full of stars embedded in the pure black sky. After looking at it for a long time, an endless deep blue seems to be reflected in the pure black.
A marching tent was pitched in a dark corner of the mountain wall.
In order to prevent the light from being exposed, the tent was also wrapped with a thick layer of marching blanket.
The palm-sized tent was packed with people.
Luo Fu is holding a flashlight.
Hu Yi is looking at the map.
"By region, we are now in the Changzhi Friendly Defense Zone, Shanxi..."
Big Dog put his hands in his sleeves: "It's really strange. There are only two families in the village, but they are all dead..."
Hu Yi frowned: "The Japs in the south launched a massive attack on the friendly forces. It was probably the brother troops who moved the people away. The two households you mentioned were probably not moved for some reason."
Tian Sanqi answered: "Then...are they the fellow villagers who stayed to inquire about the news?"
The little girl sat cross-legged in the corner of the tent next to her, with her pigtails tilted, holding a piece of semi-dried horse meat in her hand, with some meat residue on the corner of her mouth, and frowning: "Yes, that should be the case. Every time there is a Japanese raid, We are the same, except for leaving a few people in the village, we have moved most of the villagers away, turning the mountains into a no-man’s land.”
Luo Fugui shook his head: "How about... let's split up and go our separate ways?"
Tian Sanqi rolled his eyes at Luo Fugui: "As long as you leave the team, your fate will definitely be similar to that of those villagers..."
"I don't believe it anymore. The mountains are so big. I can just find a hole and squat for a few days. The little devil can only see a ghost if he can find me!"
"How long can you hide? Ten days or half a month?"
"Three to five days is absolutely no problem."
Tian Sanqi sarcastically said: "What about your soldiers? What about the wounded? Leave them alone?"
"That's all I said..."
Seeing this two-legged soldier, the big dog turned to look at Xiao Hongying, sighed deeply and muttered: "Hey, that guy named Yang should be from a certain unit of the Central Army. He does have old grudges with the Eighth Route Army. I think...he is definitely not a spy."
"Why do you say that?"
The big dog shook his head: "He's so powerful, it's a complete waste to use him as a spy to deal with the small arms and legs of the Jiuying..."
...
Halfway up the mountain.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, more than a dozen figures climbed over the ridge and descended into the village where Big Dog left before dark.
Immediately they dispersed in pairs.
Two young women, one tall and one short, pushed open the door of a small courtyard and rushed straight into the courtyard without any hesitation.
The short and stocky woman walking behind held a big knife in her hand and whispered to the person in front: "The smell of blood is so strong, it must be the damn little devil who has done something evil again..."
The tall woman with short hair and ears walking in front did not answer. She quickly walked to the door of the house and directly lit a match.
A pile of corpses came into view, but she did not scream.
He was just stunned for a moment, but he didn't seem surprised at all.
There was no ordinary girl's panic after seeing a corpse. She squatted on the ground and began to observe the wounds on the corpse.
He didn't drop the match until it was almost burnt, and the room fell into darkness.
He lit the match again and checked the four corpses in the room one by one. Then he clapped his hands and stood up. He said to the short and stocky woman who had been standing at the door: "Judging from the wounds, they should all have died from the National Army's 30 bayonets." under!"
The stocky girl pondered for a while: "Yinzhi, do you mean that the national army did this?"
The girl named Yin Zhi shook her head: "I think it is unlikely that the national army was defeated..."
At this point, he paused: "If the national army is really defeated, they must know that this is the Eighth Route Army's defense zone. He kills people here to completely cut off his own retreat!"
"But now the facts are before our eyes."
"The facts are not necessarily the truth!"
"Wang Yinzhi, I'm warning you, if you continue to speak out for the reactionaries, I can shoot you right now!"
Yin Zhi's tone became cold: "Xu Xiaomei, it's just you? I suggest you be more polite."
Xu Xiaomei lowered her voice and muttered: "I really don't know why the captain asked a reactionary family member like you to join the guerrillas."
Yinzhi was angry: "What are you talking about...my brother joined the national army and also fought against the Japanese. Why do you say he is a reactionary?"
"It was their team that caused friction the year before last. Are you still making excuses?"
"Then let me ask you, the commander-in-chief was also a general of the national army before the uprising. Why didn't you say that he was also a spy who broke into the Eighth Route Army?"
Xu Xiaomei said contemptuously: "You...can you compare with the Commander-in-Chief? Who knows if you are a spy who broke into the Eighth Route Army..."
Wang Yinzhi was so angry that he turned around and left without saying anything more.
The conversation between the two ended here.
It seems that the conflict between the two people should not last for a day or two.
Not long after, Yin Zhi walked into the hospital with a middle-aged man in tattered clothes that wasn't even patched, and three young men in the same clothes and carrying rifles.
Arriving at the door of the house, the silver branch struck a match again.
The middle-aged man stood at the door and watched for a while, then turned to the three young people behind him and ordered: "Hurry up and carry the body to the south of the village and bury it together!"
Yin Zhi stood next to the middle-aged man, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Captain, I think... I want to change a group..."
The middle-aged man looked at Wang Yinzhi's beautiful face under the moonlight with confusion.
Then he turned to look at Xu Xiaomei, who was guarding the courtyard gate not far away: "Why?"
"She's deliberately looking for trouble again."
The middle-aged man turned his attention to Wang Yinzhi again, his eyes became cold, and he warned: "Comrades must be united. If you continue to be picky, you can choose to leave the guerrillas."
Yin Zhi was a little confused, and her voice became much louder: "You didn't say that when you recruited people. I asked to join the combat unit to fight the Japanese and be a guerrilla. I didn't say anything. I just thought that with her... .She Xu Xiaomei is always deliberately looking for trouble..."
Xu Xiaomei, who was at the door, pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two, and saw that she was mentioned.
Immediately, he deliberately showed a condescending expression: "Oh, I really didn't realize it. We are doing revolutionary work. It's not up to you to choose a partner!"
Yin Zhi met the captain's eyes under the moonlight and said expressionlessly: "I apply... one person for a group!"
Xu Xiaomei sarcastically said: "Haha, alone? No one is watching, so you can deliver news to your reactionaries?"
"Fuck you, the superior arranged for two people to work in pairs. That's to help the underachievers learn!"
Seeing the eldest girl using foul language, the middle-aged man's eyebrows knitted together, feeling helpless: "Yin Zhi, from now on you and the two idiots will be the only ones..."
Yin Zhi tried hard to suppress his anger: "Okay, from today on, I will be paired with the two idiots..."
The second fool was moving the corpse. When he saw someone calling his name, he immediately grinned: "Captain?"
The captain said pleasantly: "It's okay, you can continue working."
The second fool immediately ignored the conversation between the three.
After a while, the three of them followed to the south of the village.
There was not much land in the mountains, and in a shallow pit among the rocks, the bodies of more than ten men, women, and children were laid out in a row.
Xu Xiaomei looked up at the sky, not daring to look at the scene of burying the villagers.
Yin Zhi picked up a shovel and covered the corpse with soil filled with rocks.
Not long after, the middle-aged man who was squatting on the roadside at the entrance of the village, striking a match and looking at the footprints, stood up.
He looked down at the path that continued down to the mountain stream.
Suddenly, a guerrilla next to him pointed to the distant mountain opposite: "Captain, look, there seems to be fire over there..."
