Lin Junxiong originally planned to let the Fifth Column return to the Lianhuashan base area for training, but Diao Yongyun knew that Lin Junxiong would lead the troops to conduct field training in this act, and implored Lin Junxiong to let the new Fifth Column follow for some time, so that the soldiers could open their eyes again and add some motivation to the arduous training in the future.

Lin Junxiong also wanted to see how tenacious the Fifth Column was, so the troops dispersed again and marched at night, planning to gather at Pine Mountain in Jiguan Mountain in Hailong County three days later.

Diao Yongyun asked the Hu brothers to lead the team forward, and he himself acted as a guide for Lin Junxiong. After getting along with Lin Junxiong along the way, I was deeply impressed by his extensive knowledge and some advanced plans.

The group came to Chaoyang Town, Hailong County in the afternoon of the next day, and inadvertently said that the Japanese army and the puppet army had arrested a group of anti-Japanese righteous soldiers under the guidance of Wang Defa and Wang Degui, two bandits in Hailong County, and were escorting them to Hailong County, and it was estimated that they would arrive in Chaoyang Town in the evening.

The people said conclusively, and some people said that at noon, they saw a large number of dozens of righteous soldiers escorted by Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers thirty miles outside Chaoyang Town. Lin Junxiong turned his head to look at Diao Yongyun and asked about Wang Defa and Wang Degui.

"We met Wang Defa and Wang Degui two years ago, and at that time we didn't feel that they had any special pro-Japanese behavior, they can be regarded as people with temperament, I don't know what benefits the Japanese have given, and they will work hard for the Japanese." Diao Yongyun said with some indignation.

"But this Wang Defa is a little greedy for money and lustful, but this Wang Degui acts calmly and has the style of a general, but since he dares to take refuge in the Japanese, he must not let them go." Hu Xiansheng added.

Lin Junxiong and his group were only five people, but they did not think that they could rescue these dozens of righteous soldiers from the Japanese, and when they walked outside the town and were about to rush to Jiguan Mountain, they saw a Japanese army squad and more than 100 puppet soldiers escorting about 40 people towards Chaoyang Town on the road outside the town.

When the two sides passed by, Diao Yongyun suddenly stopped and whispered excitedly: "Little Lizi? ”

Lin Junxiong and Du Sheng also stopped, only to see Diao Yongyun follow the crowd for dozens of meters with some uncontrollable emotions, but his eyes never left a young man of about thirty years old in the crowd.

"Brother Diao, what's wrong, is that person your brother of the Wild Wolf Group?"

Diao Yongyun came back to his senses and sighed: "No, I just took a closer look and was sure that it was Xiao Lizi." When I used to take the Hu family brothers to activities in the hills of Liaodong, we also had a sworn brother named Yundong. It's just that the troops were dispersed later, and in order to let us escape, he took some people to attract the attention of the Japanese, but then I heard that they were all sacrificed, but I didn't expect this little plum to be alive, he was the personal guard of the fourth Yundong. ”

"So, it's very likely that your fourth brother is not dead? Was there your fourth brother Yundong in that group of people just now? ”

Diao Yongyun shook his head and said a little sadly: "No, the fourth child is a tall and thin man, and half of his left ear is missing when he fights, which is easy to identify, maybe he is no longer there." ”

Now that there are clues, Lin Junxiong knows that Diao Yongyun still wants to find out, but he is worried that he will be outnumbered and in danger, he said with a smile: "Since we have met the old people, it seems that we have to stay in Chaoyang Town for one night to see if there is a chance to rescue them, and Brother Diao can also ask about the life and death of your fourth brother Xiao Lizi." ”

Diao Yongyun's eyes lit up, and then he gloomy, shook his head and said: "Junxiong, I think it's better to forget it, there are only five of us, and there are more than 200 people in the Japanese army and the puppet army, don't put you in a desperate situation in order to find out the truth for me, it's still a big deal." ”

Lin Junxiong said firmly: "Don't worry, I won't act recklessly, let's go up and see, if you can save it, you can save it, if you can't save it, give up, for the sake of Brother Diao's heart knot, it's worth taking a risk." ”

The Japanese army and the puppet army took nearly 40 anti-Japanese volunteers to an independent large courtyard in the south of the town, although the courtyard was large, it could only accommodate 100 people, and the rest were arranged to several other places in the town. Lin Junxiong carefully observed the courtyard, and then smiled mysteriously at a few people: "The opportunity has come." ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Junxiong asked Diao Yongyun, Wang Biao, and Zhao Xing to find some gasoline, while he and Dusheng approached the courtyard to observe, the back wall of the courtyard was still nearly two kilometers away from the town, and it would take at least ten minutes to successfully rescue and escape from the town. Lin Junxiong quietly climbed the courtyard wall and found that the anti-Japanese righteous soldiers were all detained in the courtyard, guarded by nearly 50 puppet soldiers.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Lin Junxiong began to arrange the next rescue plan.

"Wang Biao and Zhao Xing, the two of you are responsible for pushing a cart of lit firewood through the front and rear doors, blocking the door, and then quickly rushing to the back wall to respond; Brother Diao, when a fire breaks out in the yard and the Japanese army and the puppet army fall into chaos, you immediately smash a hole in the back wall, and Du Sheng and I will go to the yard and set fire everywhere to attract their attention, and attract most of the Japanese army and the puppet army to the past, Wang Biao and Zhao Xing will rush over and evacuate the captured anti-Japanese righteous soldiers with you after setting the fire, and let them run out of the town after they go out. ”

"Remember, this operation must be done quickly, and if you can't get it out within fifteen minutes, give up, and we'll join up in town."

Lin Junxiong and Du Sheng each pushed two truckloads of gasoline-laden firewood around the corner, and they each carried a small bucket of gasoline and quietly slipped into the courtyard from the courtyard wall.

With the two of them setting fire at the junction of internal and external aid, Wang Biao and Zhao Xing pushed the lit firewood cart almost at the same time to solve the four guards at the front and rear doors, blocked the door with the burning firewood cart, and then pushed up two firewood trucks poured with gasoline over, watching the fire raging before quickly going to the back wall to join Diao Yongyun.

Fires broke out everywhere in the courtyard, the front and rear doors were blocked, more than 100 Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers in the courtyard panicked everywhere to extinguish the fire, and the soldiers who guarded the anti-Japanese righteous soldiers also joined in extinguishing the fire, and the courtyard suddenly became a mess. Lin Junxiong and Dusheng kept moving this position to shoot the Japanese army and the puppet army, under the threat of fire and death, the Japanese army and the puppet army began to gather together under the organization of the officers, and the soldiers were constantly forced to rush out for help, but the fire at the front and back doors was too fierce to rush out, and they wanted to climb out of the courtyard wall, but before they could go up, they were shot by gunshots from unknown places. When the Japanese army and the puppet army were in a panic, the captured anti-Japanese volunteers were also forced by the fire to gather close to the courtyard wall in the backyard.

Lin Junxiong and Dusheng both saw that the time had come, so they dodged to attract the Japanese army and the puppet army to gather in the front yard to pursue. Diao Yongyun, Wang Biao, and Zhao Xing spent a lot of effort to smash a big hole in the backyard wall, and the noisy Japanese army and puppet army in the courtyard did not find it, and the three immediately organized the evacuation of the captured anti-Japanese volunteers, and when more than 20 people were withdrawn, finally the Japanese army and the puppet army discovered the situation here and began to rush over.

Diao Yongyun and the three of them fought back while letting those who had not had time to withdraw lower their bodies and retreat quickly, and the Japanese army and the puppet army pursued them, and five or six anti-Japanese righteous soldiers were shot and fell to the ground during the retreat.

Seeing that the anti-Japanese righteous soldiers were about to be exhausted, Lin Junxiong and Du Sheng quickly went up to the courtyard wall to evacuate in a dark place prepared in advance.

After Lin Junxiong and Du Sheng joined Diao Yongyun and the others at the backyard wall, they lit a firewood cart prepared in advance to block the entrance to the backyard hole, and then galloped away from the town.

The courtyard of the anti-Japanese righteous soldiers was on fire, and the people around were awakened, and the people of the puppet government immediately went to report, and when the Japanese army and the puppet army rushed over to reinforce it, it had been nearly twenty minutes since Lin Junxiong and them left, and the Japanese army and the puppet army in the courtyard were still panicking to extinguish the fire or trying their best to rush out, but the person who rescued the anti-Japanese righteous soldiers had long since disappeared, and the leading Japanese squad leader scolded his subordinates and the puppet army, and led the team to pursue nearly ten miles. Faced with the darkness of the night, he did not know what kind of conspiracy and fear were hidden ahead, and had to order the troops to stop the pursuit and return to the town to wait for dawn.

Lin Junxiong and more than 30 rescued anti-Japanese volunteers, led by people familiar with the terrain, finally arrived in the area of Jiguan Mountain when the sky was slightly bright.

More than 30 anti-Japanese volunteers who escaped death were grateful to Lin Junxiong and a few people, and only five of them turned the Japanese army and the puppet army upside down, and successfully rescued most of them.

Diao Yongyun was so excited that he pulled Xiao Lizi and said, "Xiao Lizi, is it you?" ”

"Are you the boss?"

"It's me, it's really you, Xiao Lizi, at that time we all thought that the dozen or so people brought out by the fourth child were all sacrificed, but we didn't expect you to be alive." Thinking of the situation back then, Diao Yongyun couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xiao Lizi took Diao Yongyun's hand and said excitedly: "Big boss, not only am I alive, but the fourth boss is also alive, we were chased into the mountains and forests at that time, and hid in the snow for three days before escaping the search of the Japanese army and the puppet army." ”

"The fourth is still alive? Great, why haven't you contacted us for so many years? Diao Yongyun couldn't believe that everything was true, and said with some trembling.

"Big boss, after you left, the four masters said that they wanted to guard the root base, so they continued to operate in the hilly areas of eastern Liaodong, while developing and expanding the team, while inquiring about your news, until two months ago, I heard from a fur merchant about your news in Dongfeng County. He asked me to take two people to Dongfeng County to connect with you and ask the big boss for the next step. ”

Diao Yongyun wiped a handful of tears and said: "It's been three years, and the fourth brother has not forgotten the original agreement of our four brothers: to fight with the little devil to the last person in the hills of Liaodong. But as the eldest brother, I am in a safe corner, I forgot the original oath, I am sorry for him and the dead brother. ”

Lin Junxiong could feel Diao Yongyun's inner turmoil, thought about it and said: "Brother Diao, after the completion of the Fifth Vertical training, let's go to the Liaodong hills, where there is your foundation, and there are also the heroic souls of your dead brothers and righteous soldiers, everything will definitely be fine." ”

Diao Yongyun was stunned, seeing that Lin Junxiong understood his feelings so well, he stepped forward gratefully and held Lin Junxiong's hand and said: "Commander, don't worry, although I, Diao Yongyun, am not a hero of the world, but I am a person of the revolutionary army in this life, and I am a ghost of the revolutionary army in death. ”

Lin Junxiong said with a smile: "Brother Diao's words are serious, we are heart-to-heart, and we don't need any oaths." ”

"Don't worry, Commander, it's up to us to persuade my fourth brother, and I will give you 100% assurance that there is no problem."

"I believe that Brother Diao's brother will be our like-minded person, by the way, Brother Xiao Li, how did you get arrested?"

Xiao Lizi sighed, and said with some sadness and indignation: "Hey, the year before last, the four masters led the troops to avoid the crusade of the Japanese army and the puppet army, and had received the favor of the two brothers Wang Defa and Wang Degui, this time I asked me to bring some gifts to thank you, who knew that after they accepted the gifts, they arrested us and handed them over to the Japanese, and the other two brothers wanted to rush out to report to the four masters, and they were killed." ”

Diao Yongyun clenched his fists, and said with hatred in his eyes: "These two brutes, one day I will settle accounts with them." ”

Xiao Lizi shook his head and said: "Big boss, I'm afraid it won't work, they have already followed the Japanese to Tonghua." Big boss, you all joined the revolutionary army, are you the anti-Japanese coalition led by the Communist Party? ”

Diao Yongyun looked at Lin Junxiong and said: "Almost, we are now the fifth column of the revolutionary army, and when the time comes, we will see the fourth child and talk to the brothers in detail." By the way, how is the fourth child over there now? ”

Xiao Lizi said with some pride: "The four masters have gathered more than 200 people now, and we rely on our familiarity with the terrain to deal with the Japanese army and the puppet army, and they have nothing to do with us." ”

When Lin Junxiong heard that this Yun Dong seemed to be quite capable, he smiled and said: "Brother Diao, it seems that the Five Columns are going to become the strongest team in the revolutionary army, haha"
