Chapter 21: Escape
Qiu Hengshui scattered the rest of the people, retreated step by step, and used the terrain to annihilate the enemy.
But the enemy has already invaded Xiyu Village, Qiu Hengshui also knows that the general trend has gone, but he also knows that at the cost of the death of all the guerrillas, a total of nearly 1,000 troops of the devil and the puppet army have been consumed, to be honest, even if Suzuki wins, he will not be able to escape the blame, and if he can't get the JN Command, he will let him disembowelment to thank the emperor.
At this time, the deputy captain said to Qiu Hengshui: "Captain, we have run out, but captain, you have to escape quickly!" ”
Qiu Hengshui said angrily: "Why? My comrades have all sacrificed, how can I survive alone? ”
The deputy captain hurriedly interrupted Qiu Hengshui's words and said: "Captain, you have to listen to me this time, and I won't tell you any big reason, I'll just say three things: first, you are the captain, you know the names and specific circumstances of all our comrades, only you can get in touch with the organization, if you escape, their fame can be passed on for centuries, and their families can be compensated, so that they will not fight in vain to the ......end."
When Qiu Hengshui heard this, the anger that was about to be made immediately disappeared, and the deputy captain saw that Qiu Hengshui listened to it, so he continued:
"Second, it is Comrade Qin Ruiming from Hedong Village, it is estimated that he has been arrested now, but if you don't escape to save him, no one will be able to save him!"
This point is also Qiu Hengshui's enthusiasm at this time, he didn't expect it for a while, in addition, Qiu Hengshui also thought that he had promised Qin Ruiming to keep the Seven Spirit Flowers Scattered, what was the matter if he died? Thinking of this, I only heard the vice captain continue:
"This last point is that you are here, and the devils have always been afraid of this place, so they must maintain a garrison in this area, even if you disappear from now on, as long as the devils are not sure that you are dead, they will never withdraw their troops; On the other hand, you are also the seed that can reorganize our Eighth Route Army ZP Army Divisional Squad! ”
Qiu Hengshui didn't take any of these three points into account. But he couldn't refute any of them, and at this time he felt a little calmer in his heart, and carefully considered the stakes and cons, and felt that what the deputy captain said was still reasonable. Then I heard him say:
"So, Lao Qiu, you quickly retreat, I'll cover up, whoever dies, you will give me a life out!"
Qiu Hengshui felt that his burden was extremely heavy at this time, and he couldn't die. He wants to get out alive, but now that he has been surrounded by this uninhabited mountain village, how easy is it to get out?
But as he was fleeing in a hurry, he suddenly remembered a plan, so he ran to the top of the mountain, and facing the cliff, he picked up a large rock and smashed it hatefully at a small tree growing on the edge of the cliff, and then the boulder bounced down. Just listen to the sound of stones hitting the rock wall echoing through the valley......
At this time, Qiu Hengshui smashed the gun that had run out of bullets, and did not let the enemy get half of the benefit. Seeing that the scene had been disguised, Qiu Hengshui returned the same way.
At this time, the village was already full of devils searching, but now there were only a few hundred devils, and they didn't dare to act alone, so Qiu Hengshui relied on hiding in the east of the village, and finally came to the mouth of the cave on the south slope unconsciously.
This was the place where the wounded were secretly recuperating earlier, so he walked into the cave he was most familiar with, opened a stone slab in the innermost part of the cave, and jumped in.
Because the slate is in the earth. So after covering it back again, there was no trace, Qiu Hengshui decided to avoid the devil's patrol here.
It was also fate. There were originally a lot of caves for the wounded, so in normal times, Qiu Hengshui ordered the personnel to store the food and drinking water inside. And this chain of secret holes of his own, except for Qin Ruiming who came to let him see it last time, no one else knew anything, and the food and drinking water in it were enough for half a month.
Qiu Hengshui was also often frightened inside. He didn't know how long Suzuki was going to search this time.
In fact, Suzuki saw the scene of Qiu Hengshui's deliberate escape, his heart was already half cold, he saw the traces of the branches under the cliff being hung up, and the place where he jumped off the cliff, there was a broken Qiu Hengshui's gun, and called the wounded of the guerrillas to ask, and said that it was the captain Qiu Hengshui's gun.
Suzuki was really annoyed when he saw that he had wasted all his strength and failed to kill or capture Qiu Hengshui alive, but he was still unwilling, so he sent a small team of men and horses to search for it under the cliff of the back mountain. Suzuki wanted to see people alive and corpses when he died, but the result was very depressed, and he didn't see the living or the dead. Suzuki also began to wonder, could it be that Qiu Hengshui really had three heads and six arms, such a high cliff, even if he was hung by a branch, it was absolutely impossible for him to be injured at all, could it be that he climbed down the cliff? !
But Suzuki knew that if Qiu Hengshui was reported missing, then he would be finished, so in order to have a chance to get it back, he changed the battle damage report to annihilate 300 guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and the captain Qiu Hengshui was killed by a shell. Anyway, with the villagers in Xiyu Village who participated in the support battle, the number of 300 guerrillas is absolutely the same, and the guerrillas have no military uniforms, so it is difficult to distinguish them; And Qiu Hengshui was killed by the explosion and could not find the body, the inspectors above came to the scene to count, and absolutely believed that as long as the village was breached, it would be absolutely a dead end, and it was completely excusable that he had lost thousands of people.
The cleaning of the battlefield and the post-war statistics lasted for about a week before it was completed, and every day Qiu Hengshui took advantage of the silence at the entrance of the cave to carefully climb up and check the situation, and sure enough, the devil did not find out where he was hiding, so he put his mind at ease. So every night, Qiu Hengshui lifted the stone slab of the cave inside to ventilate the inside and outside, and Qiu Hengshui also had to solve personal problems, so he needed to take advantage of the night. And the Japanese troops stationed in the past few days are also everywhere, and when they see these during the day, they will not think that Qiu Hengshui did it.
On the tenth day, Qiu Hengshui saw that there was really no one in the village, so he slowly came out of the cave, went alone, bypassed Xiyu Village, and went to the deep mountains in the south to find an organization.
When Qiu Hengshui saw the leaders of the county branch, they were also taken aback, their scouts went around to find information, and they already knew a lot about the war, and they all knew that Qiu Hengshui led the local guerrillas to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Xiyu Village, and at the cost of all the deaths, thousands of enemies were annihilated, and this matter is now a household name. But when Qiu Hengshui appeared in front of them again, this qiē changed again, and the leader of the county branch immediately asked about the details, and Qiu Hengshui truthfully told why and how he had escaped from the battle.
In the end, the higher-level leaders decided that Qiu Hengshui would continue to serve as the captain of the local military sub-division, and do his best to rebuild the guerrillas, give the Japanese army enough containment, and disperse the devil's forces for the entire Ludong base area. And Qiu Hengshui also reported to his superiors how Qin Ruiming helped the guerrillas and was finally arrested, but he didn't say anything about Qin Ruiming's entrustment to him to keep the recipe, because Qiu Hengshui felt that this was a private matter between the Qiu family and the Qin family after all, and there was no need to confess to the organization, once the news leaked, it would be a big trouble. The organization attached great importance to this matter and decided to go on a long-distance attack to rescue Qin Ruiming.
After Qin Ruiming was arrested, he has been locked up with Zhang Baoshan, because Suzuki has no time to interrogate, and Zhang Baoshan also attacked Xiyu Village with the Japanese, so he didn't have time to interrogate Qin Ruiming, and these days are peaceful.
But after the Japanese army captured Xiyu Village, Zhang Baoshan came to the prison and said proudly to Qin Ruiming: "I said Brother Ruiming, I didn't expect you to secretly collude with the Eighth Road, and my life was almost confessed by you, but God still likes me more, and didn't let me be killed by you that night, nor did I fall to my death under the cliff, so I came back to find out your handle and invited you here, what else do you have to say?" ”
At this moment, Qin Ruiming already knew the news that Qiu Hengshui was killed and the entire army of Xiyu Village was wiped out, after all, in the enemy-occupied area, the devil's propaganda must be something like "Xiyu Great Victory", "From now on, the Luzhong region has become a stable rear of the imperial army" and the like, so Qin Ruiming also knows that every Qiē has fallen short, so he will no longer beat around the bush.
But Qin Ruiming didn't want to say anything to Zhang Baoshan, so he asked this dog traitor to ask for credit, so he said: "You bring Inoue here, and I will tell him the truth." ”
Zhang Baoshan said with a smile: "Qin Ruiming, do you still think that it is the time when you are loved by the Japanese?" Now your only way out is to hand over the Seven Spirit Flowers and serve the Imperial Army wholeheartedly, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried! ”
Qin Ruiming laughed and said to Zhang Baoshan: "Yes, but don't forget, if you think you can do these things yourself, then you are wrong." I have something to tell you, but will I tell you? Can I be so stupid as to give you the benefit of an invitation to merit when I am dying? ”
Zhang Baoshan immediately said angrily: "Then I'll kill you!" ”
Qin Ruiming also immediately retorted: "Then the Japanese will kill you!" ”
Zhang Baoshan was speechless for a moment, Qin Ruiming laughed again, and said: "Don't think I don't know, do you think the Japanese really believe you?" At the beginning, I deliberately scribbled on the recipe to make the Japanese suspect that you had a motive for stealing the recipe, and besides, your ancestors did not do anything less to steal our Qin family's secret recipe. If you kill me, the Japanese will immediately understand that your Zhang family used torture for themselves, forced me to hand over the prescription, and then killed me. Brigade Commander Zhang, you said that at that time, do you still have the life to talk to me here? ”
Zhang Baoshan heard Qin Ruiming's analysis, couldn't help laughing dryly, and said to Qin Ruiming: "Qin Ruiming, you kid is really yin, I said that you are a langzhong, if you don't think about curing well, how can you think of some tricks of yin people!" ”
Qin Ruiming was very proud when he saw that he had bluffed Zhang Baoshan, so he said: "This person, when I usually treat people, the doctors were benevolent, but when I met a traitor who was not as good as pigs and dogs, what happened to me?" What can you do with me? If you have the ability to kill me, someone will kill you for me! (To be continued.) )
