Chen Changhai led his team out of the stronghold in a mighty manner.

Although there were only five people, they ran with great momentum, well, at least Sun Changhai thought so.

The puppet army is relatively lazy, and training is rare. If it is done, it usually has a purpose.

For example, yesterday he and Xu San went out to play Qiufeng in the name of training, but today Chen Changhai's purpose of bringing people out was still to go to Yangcun.

Yesterday at the entrance of the village, I met the little man (played by Lian Wushang) whose daughter-in-law (played by Female Guerrillas) is pretty. He wanted to take advantage of the absence of his family men so that he could win over her and threaten her.

He did this kind of thing often.

I licked my lips with my tongue out of habit, and found that one of my front teeth was missing.

It was awkward, this feeling was very uncomfortable, and it suddenly made him feel like I was a cripple.

I hit my mouth, it still hurts.

Suck~~~

A gust of cold wind flowed in through the gap between his teeth, and the chill rushed straight into his heart, and pain like a knife came from his ribs.

MD, I'm confused.

It hurts so much!

The heartbreaking pain made Chen Changhai squat on the ground, and large beads of sweat fell down his forehead.

He didn't dare to take a deep breath, because if he breathed even slightly wider, his lungs would be cut like a knife.

As time passed, the pain did not lessen, but intensified. His vision began to blur, and finally darkness came, and Chen Changhai fell headfirst into the snow.

In Jibutugou, Li Si lay on the only small window, carefully observing the Japanese who were also training outside the window.

Seeing the uniform movements of the Japanese, he couldn't help but frown.

The individual soldier quality of the Japanese is indeed very high, and their obedience is extremely strong. This can be seen from simple drills, and the regular sound of gunfire coming from a distance shows that the Japanese have sufficient ammunition.

"Let me take a look." Lian Wushang's voice came from the side.

Li Si looked down at him and said, "Save some energy, we don't know how many days we have to stay here?"

Upon hearing this, Lian Wushang immediately became unhappy, "Are you saying I'm short?"

Lian Wushang was only a little over 1.5 meters tall, but the window of the cell was 1.7 meters tall. This meant that he had to put his hands on the edge of the window to pull himself up if he wanted to see what was going on outside. (commonly known as pull-ups)

He said that this physical exertion was nothing to a martial arts practitioner, but Li Si tried to be on the safe side and advised him. Unexpectedly, his words hit his G-spot.

Li Si didn't answer. He knew that no matter how he answered, there would probably be a quarrel.

Now there are not only people from the county brigade in the cell, but also a few ordinary villagers.

In order to avoid people talking too much, he silently moved away from the window and signaled to Lian Wushang, come here.

Lian Wushang was not polite and directly reached out to grab the edge of the window and pulled his body up.

When I first came in yesterday, perhaps out of caution, none of the fellow inmates came over to talk.

After one night, the same fellow villager came over to greet Li Si: "fellow fellow, which village are you from?"

"I'm from Yangcun." Li Si replied.

"Yangcun, I know that the wife of the Tiezhu family in our village is from Yangcun."

"Fellow, do you know why the Japanese came to arrest us?" Li Si asked.

"It's probably hard work like building roads and gun towers. I was arrested and worked there for a month in the fall."

Li Si didn't say that arresting you this time was not about building roads or building gun towers. If it was just about building roads and building gun towers, then so many people wouldn't be gathered together.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a bit tiring work. Just don't be lazy and grit your teeth and get over it. If you're lucky, the Japanese will meet the deadline and you can still have two meals a day."

The fellow patted Li Si and comforted him. In his opinion, this was the first time Li Si was caught and he was a little nervous.

Li Si pointed in the direction of the cell door: "By the way, fellow, do you know how many people are in the cell opposite us?"

"I don't know about that. It should be similar to ours. I was arrested late, and some of the people who were arrested with me are indeed being held there."

"Then what day were you arrested, fellow?"

"The day before yesterday!"

Li Si nodded and chatted with two other fellow villagers for a while. Like the one just now, they were also arrested the day before yesterday.

When he walked to the cell door and looked across through the bars, he saw that three cells were already occupied, but he still didn't know how many were locked inside.

Then he walked up to Lian Wushang and stabbed him.

Lian Wushang let go of his hands and followed Li Si to the corner. Then another person walked to the window as if nothing had happened and took over Lian Wushang's role of continuing to monitor the Japanese outside.

"What did you find?"

"Another car came just now, loaded with wire sacks. It seems that the Japanese want to strengthen the fortifications. However, what is a little strange is that after the car unloaded its things, it had to park and park five times."

"Five times, can you see why?"

Lian Wushang touched his nose, thought for a while, and then answered: "Maybe to look to the right."

"Look to the right?"

"Well, that's how it feels to me. It's like standing in a military posture when we are training. Yes, that's it!"

Li Si nodded, not paying too much attention to this matter, because the Japanese soldiers had always maintained strict military discipline, and it was a matter of course that they should be arranged neatly.

There are two simple rooms used to hold the cells. They are square and neatly built. Although there is no stove, it is not a problem to keep out the wind and rain.

The inside of the cell is also very regular and symmetrical. There are ten small cells neatly arranged on both sides. Each small cell holds twenty people.

The room where the County Brigade is being held is currently not full, with only thirteen people.

The above is the information compiled by Li Si and several soldiers from the county brigade.

In other words, there should be 200+120+13=333 people in the Jibutigou stronghold now.

This is an estimate.

Not long after, the soldier watching from the window walked up to Li Si and whispered: "There are cars coming again, this time there are blue bricks, there are quite a lot of them."

The green bricks are good. The Japanese will definitely not do such a large amount of unloading by themselves.

So if we can go out this time, it will be a good opportunity to inquire about outside intelligence.

Hopefully, Li Si prayed in her heart, the job of unloading the truck could be arranged for herself this time.

Maybe God heard Li Si's prayer. Not long after, a Japanese prisoner opened the cell door with a key, took a look, and counted the number of people.

"You, you... come out!" The Japs pointed at six people with their hands.

The person targeted was Li Si, but Lian Wushang was not there. However, Lian Wushang still followed him, but was stopped at the door by the Japanese.

He looked at the Japanese in confusion.

The Japanese shook his head and measured his size with his hands, a look of disdain on his face.
