Fengcheng is eight miles away.
Lijiazhuang.
Commando Wei Chen came to the entrance of the village. He saw a middle-aged woman busy in the courtyard of a house, and said, "Can I give you a sip of hot water, fellow villager?"
The middle-aged woman raised her eyes and glanced at Wei Chen without saying anything. She turned around and entered the room. After a while, she brought out a bowl of hot water and handed it to Wei Chen.
"Young man, are you from another place? I think you are a bit unfamiliar and you are not from our local area."
"My fellow villager, you have such a good eye. I came here as a refugee from another county and am planning to cross the river to see if I can find a way to make a living."
"By the way, are there any landlords or wealthy people in our village who want to recruit tenant farmers?" Wei Chen asked tentatively after taking a sip of hot water.
When the middle-aged woman heard what Wei Chen said, a look of vigilance appeared on her face. He stopped talking to him. After Wei Chen finished drinking the water, he took the bowl and went back to the house, never to be seen again.
There is a gate. It seems that this village is already on the outskirts of the base area, otherwise it would not be so sensitive. Wei Chen thought to himself as he continued walking in and came to another house.
In the small courtyard, two children were playing. Wei Chen walked over to the older girl and said, "Child, are there anyone with guns in our village?"
After saying that, Wei Chen reached out and took out the cannon box from his waist and showed it in front of the two children.
"Pistol, uncle has a pistol." The younger boy looked at Wei Chen's pistol and said with some envy.
The little girl took a look but said nothing. She turned around and took her little brother back to the room.
After two tests, Wei Chen had already figured out that there must be guerrillas in this small village. Even if it's not a base area, it's still a peripheral fortress village.
There are either militiamen or guerrillas from the county brigade inside, which is why the children here see the gun like this.
Just because the little devils and Ergouzi have been here, they should be very afraid of things like pistols.
Looking at the scope of the village, it doesn't look like there are vicious landlords and old wealth causing trouble, otherwise the people here wouldn't be so peaceful.
So he has already arrived at the base here. Thinking of this, Wei Chen cheered up and walked all the way.
Not long after entering the village, several young men surrounded Wei Chen intentionally or unintentionally. Before Wei Chen could react, one of them suddenly took out a box pistol from his waist and pointed it at him.
"Don't move, raise your hands, or I'll beat you to death."
Wei Chen raised his hand honestly and said to them.
"Comrade, don't shoot, we are one of our own."
Those people ignored Wei Chen, and one person stepped forward and took out the cannon box from Wei Chen's waist.
"Tell me, who are you? Why did you come to Lijiazhuang?" One of them said harshly to Wei Chen.
"Comrade, I am really one of my own, from the 8th Route and 386th Brigade Independent Regiment. I have important information and need to find comrades from the county brigade. Please take me to the county brigade."
Those people were all stunned when they heard what Wei Chen said. They had obviously heard of the reputation of the Independent Group.
Several people looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then did not ask any more questions. Instead, they took Wei Chen to a house in the village and took him inside.
There were two big men sitting there with guns in the room. Seeing Wei Chen come in, one of them said.
"Tell me the truth, what are you doing here?"
"Comrade, we are from the Dagushan guerrillas of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment. We are ordered to go from Dagushan to the border area. Now I have important things that need to be found by the county brigade. Please ask this comrade to take me to the county brigade." Wei Chen repeated Read it again.
"Captain, that's what he said just now." said the young man who fired Wei Chen's pistol.
After hearing this, the two people were all a little stunned.
Although they had not heard much about the Dagushan guerrillas, the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade was well known to them.
It's just that Fengcheng is hundreds of miles away from the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment. How did they come here?
Could it be that what Wei Chen said was a lie.
But when they looked at Wei Chen's appearance, they really didn't look like a traitor or a douchebag. It's just that the county brigade is not something anyone can see if they want to.
The middle-aged man sitting on the left looked around and said to Wei Chen: "You said you are from the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment. How can you prove it?"
Wei Chen was stunned for a moment. This was really a difficult problem, because at this time, no one had a unified identification mark, let alone an ID card. There was a good citizen certificate, but that was done by the little devils.
What do I need to get to prove that I am an independent member? Wei Chen thought for a while, shook his head, and then said:
"Comrade, after you contact the county brigade, we will have a way to confirm our identities.
I will bring our captain here, and the comrades from the same county brigade will pick him up.
Our captain has a token that proves our identity. This matter is very important, related to whether our army can capture Fengcheng. Please be sure to report it to your superiors. I will bring the captain here to meet with you again tomorrow. "
When the two people heard that things developed like this, they couldn't help but feel a little upset in their hearts. Although what Wei Chen said sounded a bit like a fantasy story, but if this matter was true, if it delayed the opportunity to fight, then They really can't afford such consequences.
Everyone looked at Wei Chen carefully, making sure that this man really didn't have any guilty conscience. The two heads gathered together and talked for a while, and then the middle-aged man on the left said:
"Leave the pistol with us. You can only bring one person here tomorrow, and we will meet here."
Wei Chen nodded, indicating that he agreed with the other party's statement. "No problem. I will bring our captain over tomorrow. Please be sure to ask the comrades from the county brigade to come too. We really have very important things to discuss with the comrades from the county brigade."
When Wei Chen returned to the hiding place, he found that everyone was happily eating steamed buns.
"Captain, you are back. I have found the village where the guerrillas are connected. We will go there tomorrow to connect with people from the county brigade. But they only agreed to let me take you there alone."
Gao Jianwu didn't expect Wei Chen to find the guerrillas so quickly.
"It's not a hurry. Come on, let's eat some steamed buns first. These are hot steamed buns fresh out of the pan."
After saying that, he threw a steamed bun to Wei Chen. Wei Chen took it and it was indeed still hot.
After eating cold pancakes for a few days, Wei Chen couldn't wait to take a bite when he saw the steaming steamed buns.
"Yes, yes, captain, these steamed buns are so delicious and fragrant." Wei Chen said with a smile.
Gao Jianwu saw everyone eating steamed buns like this, shook his head and smiled again. The warriors of this era are so cute, and they feel very satisfied with just a little bit of stuff that can fill their stomachs.
But when I thought about it in the blink of an eye, I felt a little sad. For such a small request, robbers broke in and broke their peaceful life.
The little devil must be killed!
More to kill!
.......
On the second day, Wei Chen and Gao Jianwu came to Lijiazhuang again. Before entering the village, they saw several people standing at the entrance of the village.
Those people saw that Wei Chen was indeed coming with someone.
Yesterday, the middle-aged man in the room said to one of the unfamiliar faces: "Captain Zhong, he is the one who came yesterday."
After speaking, the middle-aged man pointed at Wei Chen.
With a quick glance, Gao Jianwu recognized who was in charge across the street. He couldn't even pretend to have the temperament of an old revolutionary.
He clapped his hands and stepped forward with a smile.
"This comrade, I am Gao Jianwu of the Dagushan guerrillas of the 8th Route 386 Brigade Independent Regiment. This is a proof of my identity."
Now that the identity of the other party was confirmed, Gao Jianwu neatly revealed his identity.
The man took the transfer order from Gao Jianwu No. 8 Headquarters to study at the Anti-Japanese University and looked at it carefully.
Make sure there is no problem.
"Comrade Gao Jianwu, I am Zhong Weiguo, the captain of the Fengcheng County Brigade. I welcome you on behalf of the Fengcheng County Brigade."
After saying that, Zhong Weiguo turned to the young man beside him and said: "Liu Sixi, give that comrade's gun back to others."
The young man next to him who confiscated Wei Chen's cannon box yesterday embarrassedly took out the pistol from his waist and handed it to Wei Chen reluctantly.
"Comrade, I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding yesterday."
"It's okay, it's all for the revolutionary work. I came unexpectedly yesterday, so you should be careful."
Wei Chen took the gun and said with a smile.
"That's right, it's all for revolutionary work. Come on, let's go into the village and chat." Zhong Weiguo said with a loud smile.
