The noisy day was over, and Ren Laifeng took Feng Wenying to live in the house of the village chief Shi Shouren. Chief Shicun was afraid that he would not be able to serve the commander of the national army, so he moved to the backyard with his wife and children, and gave the master bedroom he lived in to Ren Laifeng.

Dinner was also eaten at Shi Shouren's house, and this time all the senior officers of the guerrillas who went north with Ren Laifeng participated. The food was not bad, and the commanders of the guerrillas were quite satisfied. Since they had to travel the next day, after a brief discussion of tomorrow's itinerary after eating, the generals dispersed early and went to the homes of the villagers they had contacted to rest.

Ren Laifeng and Feng Wenying also washed up briefly, and went back to the room to prepare for sleep. When the two of them were about to lie down and not lie down, they heard the guard at the door shouting: "Who? Then a man replied, "It's me, it's me." "I heard the voice like the owner of the main house, Ishimorito.

"What do you want to do?" Ren Laifeng's guards don't care what the village chief or landlord is, and anyone who approaches the commander-in-chief's residence without permission is a suspicious element! Not only did the guard's questioning voice be stern, but Ren Laifeng also heard the sound of pulling the bolt.

Of course, at this time, the meaning of pulling the bolt warning is more than that. However, if the other party really wants to act excesses, the guards will not hesitate in the slightest when they shoot. But Shi Shouren didn't know. Seeing the guard pull the bolt, he was so frightened that his voice changed, "Don't, don't shoot!" I have something important to report to the commander-in-chief! ”

"If there is anything to talk about tomorrow, the commander-in-chief has already rested and will not meet outsiders!" What important information can you have as an old man? The guards didn't leave him room for accommodation at all.

The two of them worked these few words, and Ren Laifeng had already put on a cotton jacket and went to the ground. "Tartar, let's come in."

Let the air duct guard call the Tartar? That's right, the unsympathetic guard outside is none other than Arislan. Ah Rislan is not Ren Laifeng's guard, he is Feng Wenying's house slave, bodyguard, and thug. Originally, it was none of his business to stand guard on the night shift, but he took the initiative to protect the safety of his master at night. So, this is the one tonight.

Ren Laifeng spoke, and of course Arislan did not dare to disobey. I didn't hear the two of them talk again, and the sound of the door opening sounded outside, followed by Shi Shouren's voice: "Is the commander-in-chief resting?" Shouren is disturbed, please don't be surprised by the commander-in-chief. ”

Ren Laifeng whispered to Feng Wenying: "You go elsewhere, I'll take a look." Then he amplified his voice: "Is it Chief Ishimura?" Visited overnight, I don't know what is important? As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the inner room, and Shi Shiran walked into the living room.

"Commander-in-chief, Shouren has disturbed me, please forgive me." As soon as Shi Shouren saw Ren Laifeng, he hurriedly clenched his fists, and his attitude was very humble.

The two of them politely said a few words and sat down, and Shi Shouren said the reason why he came to meet him overnight. According to Shi Shouren, Shimen Village is not a big village and there are not many people, but it is a very famous village within a radius of 100 miles. It's not that there have been any celebrities in the village, nor because there are any specialties in the village, Shimen Village is famous because of the villagers.

The villagers of Shimen Village are divided into three factions, one is pro-Soviet, the other is pro-Japanese, and the third is not pro-anything. The village head, Shi Shouren, belongs to the third faction, and he is more inclined to his own country. Like Shi Shouren, those who belong to the third faction account for almost half of all the villagers, and belong to the majority faction.

Although this majority is the largest, it is not the only one. At the east end of the village there is a Tanaka faction who is pro-Japanese, and at the west end of the village there is a Vasily who is a representative of the pro-Soviet faction. The pro-Japanese and pro-Soviet factions have been fighting for a long time. The centrists, represented by Shi Shouren, were caught in the middle.

No way, both of them have strong backs. Only he, the centrist, seems to have the largest number of people, but because he does not have the support of a strong backstage, he has to suffer a little from time to time in front of the other two factions. Shi Shouren, the village head, did not go well.

Today, when he heard that the guerrillas of the national army were coming, Shi Shouren originally wanted to bring the centrist faction to greet him, but he didn't expect that the other two factions would join in the fun after they got the news. This is the scene of the villagers who Ren Laifeng saw during the day. In fact, people are not welcome, but come to see the excitement.

Ren Laifeng led his troops to live in Shimen Village, and although the number of centrists in the village was large, they could not accommodate the hundreds of guerrillas. Then the pro-Japanese and pro-Soviet villagers also lived in the homes of the guerrilla fighters.

The villagers of the two factions did not dare to say anything on the surface, and no one knew what they were thinking behind the scenes. Shi Shouren was afraid that something would happen, so he sent someone to find out quietly. They are all neighbors of the same village, and many of them are related to each other, and they have met each other, no matter what the factional relationship is, it is common for the villagers to get together and chat.

As a result, as soon as this chat was inquired, Shi Shouren really heard an amazing rumor. It is said that someone from the pro-Japanese faction has already gone to report to the Japanese army! There is even news leaking that the Japanese Kwantung Army will kill Shimen Village before dawn tomorrow and eliminate the guerrillas!

Knowing this news, where can Shi Shouren still sit still? He had long wanted to report to Ren Laifeng. However, tonight, Ren Laifeng first drank and ate with the guerrilla generals, and after eating, they talked about military affairs, and Shi Shouren never found the opportunity to talk to Ren Laifeng alone.

Now that it was getting late, Ren Laifeng had already gone into the room to sleep. Shi Shouren felt that if he didn't report it again, if the Japanese army really came over before dawn, and the guerrillas suffered a loss, how could he be worthy of his conscience? In the end, he gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and Shi Shouren risked his life to come to Ren Laifeng to report the situation.

Ren Laifeng listened to Shi Shouren's introduction of the situation in Shimen Village, and he was stupid. He really didn't expect that the situation in this small village of about 200 people would be so complicated. Kill traitors? It doesn't seem necessary. They are poor villagers, and it is estimated that there are not many who can read and write, whether they are pro-Japanese or pro-Soviet, it sounds more like a joke.

Let's put it this way, Ren Laifeng didn't care about the rumors that some villagers might bring the Kwantung Army over. Do the villagers really have to have such great power? At the very least, Shi Shouren, the village head, is afraid that he would have let the Kwantung Army arrest and feed the wolf dogs!

"Well, the news you said is important, and I will make arrangements. It's getting late, go back to sleep. ”

Ren Laifeng sent Shi Shouren away, and after thinking about it, he was a little uneasy after all. He simply called the guard platoon commander over and told him to inform all troops to strengthen their vigilance tonight, especially before and after dawn, and there must be no negligence!
