Liu Guodong said "get ready to fight" and ran towards the entrance of the village with some people. As he ran, he asked Mr. Wang: "We didn't have anyone watching us when we came back, right?"
As a platoon leader who was not yet a platoon leader of their company, what could Mr. Wang say? He could only reply: "It's hard to say."
This time they went to Jinzhou City to assassinate the Japanese army, but they all had insiders.
After all, this was originally the territory of the Northeast Army.
The so-called "strong dragon cannot suppress local snakes" means that no matter how powerful the Japanese army is, it is unfamiliar with the local situation but has no time to deal with it. That is, among the puppet troops who surrendered to the Japanese army, there are insiders of the Northeast Army.
Therefore, Liu Guodong and the others entered Jinzhou City in disguise. It looked like they were in danger, but in fact, they were not in danger. After attacking the Japanese army, they escaped directly with the help of insiders.
However, it is also conceivable that if the Japanese army pursues this matter, in the current situation where the enemy and ourselves are mixed together, it is not impossible for the Japanese army to find them and even hide in Hejiatun.
Wang Laomao has a very good brain, and he is very famous in their second company.
It is said that when the commander of the second company was first proposed, it was Mr. Wang who was chosen by the superiors.
But the battalion commander Zhang Mingjie didn't like Wang Lao Mao because he thought Wang Lao Mao was too slippery. Any official commander in a war wouldn't want his subordinates to be obedient. If he said, "You charge up," then the subordinates would go up. rush.
But Mao Wang is not like this.
A person may appear rough on the surface and use profanity when speaking, but this does not necessarily mean that the person is incapable of calculation.
When Mr. Wang fights, he always leaves himself some way out whenever possible.
Because of this, battalion commander Zhang Lianjie proposed Hu Biao as company commander.
The final result was that both battalion commander Zhang Lianjie and second company commander Hu Biao were killed in that battle, but Mr. Wang survived.
As for how Mr. Wang survived at that time, no one knows. Even Hou Kanshan, who has always been relatively proud, can only guess, yes, it is a guess. He guesses that Mr. Wang must have escaped by dressing up as a dead body.
But who can ask such a thing?
I heard that a stranger came to the village. Liu Guodong was originally running at the front, but Liu Guodong's men rushed to the front. They couldn't let the company commander run to the front.
Wang Lao Mao was originally following Liu Guodong, but when he was approaching the entrance of the village, Wang Lao Mao had already retracted into the middle of the team.
When they were about to arrive at the entrance of the village, Mr. Wang glanced at the soldiers following Liu Guodong and finally said in a consultative tone: "It's better for those in military uniforms not to show their faces first."
This time his voice was relatively soft, Liu Guodong didn't notice, and their soldiers glanced at Mr. Wang and ignored him.
Thinking about it, Mr. Wang and the others are just like being dependent on someone else. Company Commander Liu Guodong is a very loyal person who will never let Mr. Wang and the others become cannon fodder. Therefore, who among Liu Guodong’s men will take Mr. Wang? The platoon leader of this other company took it seriously.
Mr. Wang also consciously knew that he was a man of few words, so he spoke in a low voice. At this time, the people in front had already seen that there were really two people behind the big elm tree at the entrance of the village, and they were wearing Northeastern Army uniforms. .
"Is it possible that some of our people came back?" Liu Guodong turned to ask Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang stretched his neck to identify him carefully, and finally shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly. He doesn't look like someone from our company."
"Is it possible that they are from other companies?" Liu Guodong asked again.
Mr. Wang could only shake his head.
Although the Japanese army has occupied many places in the three eastern provinces, the resistance has not stopped. Many places have been disrupted. It is entirely possible that people who were separated from the large troops on the battlefield walked along the Liaoxi Corridor to outside the customs.
"Could he be a Japanese spy?" Mr. Wang finally whispered.
This kind of analysis by Mr. Wang is not impossible, but Liu Guodong thought for a while and finally shook his head and said: "If it is a spy, there is no need for them to take this risk. Isn't there just an old elm tree there?"
Liu Guodong's implication is that if they are enemy spies, there is no need for them to take risks.
There was an old elm tree at the entrance of the village, but the old elm tree was not big enough to block the two men.
"Yao Yuan, take your class to have a look and bring those two people back to me!" Liu Guodong ordered.
"Yes!" A soldier responded and waved his hand, and several soldiers behind him followed him out with guns in hand.
Wang Laomao frowned and looked at the terrain on the opposite side without saying anything.
The mountains in the west of the entire Western Liaoning Corridor are similar in shape.
That is, the mountainous area stretches across it, and at regular intervals there is a valley like a trunk, and there are different small valleys on both sides of the valley. Hejiatun is located in a small valley.
To use a vivid metaphor, the valley system is like a tree, and Hejiatun is located on the branches branching from the main trunk.
Wang Laomao and the others have been staying in Hejiatun for over a month, and all the leaves have fallen. Of course, he is familiar with the terrain at the entrance of the village.
Seventy or eighty meters away is the big elm tree. There is an abandoned well near the elm tree, and there are some small mounds two to three hundred meters away.
There is nothing suspicious so far, but Mr. Wang still feels uneasy.
The squad leader named Yao Yuan led the soldiers out. At this time, the two men wearing gray military uniforms like the Northeast Army were still looking at them next to the big elm tree. It was obvious that they had seen someone coming from this side.
There was a shout from the other end: "Brothers, I finally found you!"
"Something seems wrong. Why don't they come over?" This was what a platoon leader under Liu Guodong said.
And in his words, Liu Guodong gave the order to prepare for battle.
Yao Yuan and the few soldiers in front were still moving forward, but the speed had slowed down.
Those who can become squad leaders are all veterans. Obviously, Yao Yuan also feels that something is not right.
"Which company are you from?" Yao Yuan's shout also came back, and at the same time, Liu Guodong, Wang Laomao and the others who were hiding behind saw that Yao Yuan's men were already pulling the bolts of their guns.
"Come back quickly! I've been fooled!" Suddenly Mr. Wang shouted.
But when a battle breaks out, shouts can never be faster than bullets. Before Wang Lao Mao finished speaking, "pop", "pop" and "pop" gunshots rang out. A total of seven people from Yao Yuan and the others went out. But just in the firing of this volley of guns, five of them fell down directly!
The enemy really appears! Behind those dirtbags in the distance, many heads suddenly popped up, and this was what Mr. Wang discovered just now, but it was useless no matter how fast he shouted.
Calculating in your mind but not intentionally, "strike first to gain advantage and then strike to suffer disaster" is an eternal and everlasting truth.
And now look at the two people hiding behind the big elm tree. One hid directly under the big elm tree, while the other ran to the side and suddenly disappeared!
By this time, Liu Guodong and the others had of course fired, but naturally they couldn't hit the person hiding behind the big elm tree, and it was even more impossible to hit the person who suddenly disappeared, because that person jumped directly to the abandoned mouth. In the well!
"Fire cover! Get us back quickly!" Liu Guodong shouted, because he saw that only Yao Yuan and another soldier were left running back.
It's just that since the other party is calculated mentally and unintentionally, how can they be given a chance to react.
At this time, all of them heard the sound of "hiss" and "hiss", and then a mortar shell hit the house where they were hiding. In the loud explosion, the grass and trees were splashed, but Liu Guodong and the others were in a row. You can't even protect yourself!
