After Xiao Zhao left, Lao Hu was like a stuffy gourd, not saying a word.

In fact, from the moment Zheng Yingqi grabbed the words, Captain Hu realized that Zheng Yingqi seemed to be suspicious of Lao Yang, and this attitude of doubting his comrades made Captain Hu very uncomfortable, but he was a person who understood and knew that everything should be subordinated to the overall situation - if the independent regiment wants to fish for the devils in the whitewater stronghold, it is a matter of the safety of thousands of comrades, and all caution is essential!

But......

This kind of suspicion, this kind of distrust of the latent comrades, Lao Hu doesn't like it very much!

Looking at the silent old Hu, Zheng Yingqi guessed his dissatisfaction, he organized the wording, and whispered:

"If it's my fault, I'll apologize like Lao Yang in the future. I also hope it's my sensitivity - but Lao Hu, Lao Yang is too suspicious! ”

"Suspicious?"

"He's too eager to know if we're going to hit the turret, I hope I'm sensitive." Zheng Yingqi whispered.

Hearing Zheng Yingqi's explanation, Lao Hu wanted to scold his mother, this was obviously Lao Yang eager to avenge his comrades-in-arms, he held his breath in his heart and wanted to refute, and finally decided to endure it, and wait to see what Zheng Yingqi had to prove his suspicions - he didn't think Zheng Yingqi could ask Xiao Zhao to go back to Xiao Zhao's cousin.

Lao Yang, in the two years since he participated in the revolution, has been conscientious and cautious, and he must have escaped the search of the devil with his wit!

Zheng Yingqi is not too sure whether Lao Yang has a problem, but for the sake of safety, he still temporarily changed the script - even if he gave up ambushing the Oda squadron, he must not cause the team to be ambushed because of uncontrollable factors!

More than twenty minutes later, Xiao Zhao came back, and brought back a young man who was seventeen or eighteen years old and still a little immature.

Zheng Yingqi looked at Xiao Zhao suspiciously, dissatisfied with Xiao Zhao's move to bring people back.

After Xiao Zhao came over with someone, he whispered: "Comrade Zheng, this is my cousin Zhao Shuzi, Shuzi, this is Comrade Zheng of the Eighth Route Army." Comrade Zheng, that's the case, my cousin said that he had something important to tell you, but when I asked him, he wouldn't tell me, so I brought him over if I had no choice. ”

Xiao Zhao explained the reason for his abruptness, Zheng Yingqi looked at Zhao Shuzi and whispered, "Little brother, do you have anything to risk coming over?" Your village has the eyes and ears of devils, and if they find out that you are in contact with us, you will be in danger! ”

Zhao Shuzi said nonchalantly: "I'm not afraid of that devil and traitor!" Hey, comrade, I'll tell you something, but you have to agree to let me join your team! ”

Xiao Zhao didn't expect his cousin bolt to say so suddenly, stabbed his cousin and signaled his cousin not to talk nonsense, and blamed him in a low voice: "Bolt, how can you do this?" Don't talk about conditions, okay? Something to say! ”

"This matter I know must be very important, Comrade Zheng, as long as you agree to let me join your team, I will tell you immediately."

"You can join Captain Hu and their guerrillas, right, Old Hu?" Zheng Yingqi kicked the ball to Lao Hu, and as soon as Lao Hu wanted to respond, the bolt rushed to say: "No, I don't want to join the guerrillas, I want to join the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"The guerrillas are also combat units of the Eighth Route Army," Zheng Yingqi said with a smile and a smile: "Why are you so fierce as a little comrade?" ”

"My brother doesn't even have a military uniform for the Eighth Route Army, so I won't go to the guerrillas, I'm going to the Eighth Route Army!" The bolt continued to be stubborn, Zheng Yingqi was helpless, and said: "Okay, as long as what you say is really important, I will find our superiors and approve you to join us!" ”

"Good!" The bolt was overjoyed, and then said something that made Lao Hu change his color: "Yang Dashou has taken refuge in the devil!" ”

Yang Dashou is Lao Yang.

"Bolt, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Zhao was anxious, and Lao Hu also said dissatisfiedly: "I said you, a young man, can you not talk nonsense in this shock?" You slander people like this, but you have to be responsible! ”

Zheng Yingqi wondered in his heart, did Xiao Zhao's cousin master something? Therefore, he deliberately said: "Little brother, there are many people among us who are not conscious, and it is normal for them to take refuge in devils, and this is not a big deal." ”

"But Yang Dashou is our man!" In the face of doubts, the bolt directly clarified Yang Dashou's identity, and let Lao Hu and Xiao Zhao be excited-Lao Yang's identity is confidential, how could the bolt know?

Seeing that his cousin and Captain Hu were shocked, the bolt looked a little proud, and explained: "Don't think that I don't know that Yang Dashou is your person, when my brother came to the village before, I quietly followed him, he often goes to Yang Dashou, and you will look for Yang Dashou at night, so I know that he is your person, don't worry, I haven't told anyone about this." ”

Lao Hu's face was a little unoptimistic, the identity of the intelligence officer was actually discovered by a common person, and what made him even more angry was that such a hidden thing as a joint, his people were full of omissions, so that a common person discovered the secret!

Zheng Yingqi found that this kid was very smart, but he was more concerned about the sentence "Yang Dashou took refuge in the devil" in the plug's mouth, and he asked without moving: "Then how do you say that he took refuge in the devil?" Just because he often delivers things to the devil's turret? ”

"No," the bolt thought that Zheng Yingqi didn't believe his words, and said what he had found like a bean.

It turned out that after Xiao Liu and them were ambushed that day, the bolt was very angry, so he thought about secretly smashing the devils with bricks at night to get angry, but he didn't expect that at night, several devils quietly entered the village, went straight to Yang Dashou's house, and arrested Yang Dashou.

As soon as the bolt saw it, he thought about going to his cousin to report the news, but what he didn't expect was that the next day he actually saw Yang Dashou moving around the village casually, and the bolt thought he had seen a ghost and decided to keep an eye on it - he quietly stared at Yang Dashou for a few days, and found that Yang Dashou had quietly gone to the turret the night before.

In the end, the bolt said: "Now I am sure, he Yang Dashou must have taken refuge in the devil, otherwise how could he go to the devil's turret quietly at night?" Before, he went to the devil's turret during the day! ”

Zheng Yingqi said thoughtfully: "It seems that after Xiao Liu and they were ambushed, the devil found Yang Dashou along the vine, and after being arrested, Yang Dashou defected to the enemy. ”

Lao Hu gritted his teeth and said, "I'll arrest him and interrogate him, if he really betrays, I'll deal with him with my own hands!" ”

"No," Zheng Yingqi stopped Lao Hu and said, "You can't startle the snake, let's go back and discuss it." ”

Despite saying this, Zheng Yingqi still can't be sure whether Lao Yang has defected - what if Zhao Zhuozi has a problem? This is tantamount to saying that he has wronged his comrades-in-arms! Although this may not be big in Zheng Yingqi's opinion, it is best to do a good job of investigation and then make a judgment, and you can't wronged your own people!

He arranged: "Bolt, I can't take you away for the time being, and when we finish fighting this turret, I will ask my superiors to approve you to join us, how about it?" ”

"Don't lie to me." The plug said uneasily.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you." Zheng Yingqi finished speaking with a smile, and said to Xiao Zhao again: "Xiao Zhao, you go back to the village with the bolt, and you will temporarily hide in the bolt's house for the past two days, understand?" ”

"Comrade Zheng, ...... you" Xiao Zhao looked at Zheng Yingqi suspiciously, no matter how stupid he was, he knew what Zheng Yingqi meant - obviously letting himself stare at the bolt, he wanted to say that he dared to guarantee that his cousin had no problems, but after seeing Zheng Yingqi's stern eyes, he swallowed the latter words and promised:

"I understand."

After Bolt and Xiao Zhao left, Lao Hu said: "I have seen you fight the turret of Baizi Mountain, I feel that you are quite bold, but how can I not imagine that you are so cautious, even Xiao Zhao's cousin can't believe it?" ”

Zheng Yingqi shook his head and said: "It's not that I can't believe it, but I'm afraid that young people won't know how to talk nonsense and affect our actions." ”

Lao Hu looked at Zheng Yingqi's immature face, and said in his heart: You seem to be very big.

……

In the valley, after Li Yunlong saw Zheng Yingqi, he asked urgently:

"Why did it take so long to come back? Is there a change? ”

Zheng Yingqi said: "Regiment Commander, I suspect that the intelligence officers of Lao Yang Village have defected to the enemy, and they have been delayed for a while......" He told Li Yunlong what he had seen and judged one by one, and Li Yunlong patted Zheng Yingqi on the shoulder and said:

"It's a good job, no hot-headedness, if the intelligence officer really surrenders to the enemy, it will help our fishing devils, I'll leave this matter to you, I don't ask about the process to get the result, just fish out the little devil in Oda the day after tomorrow!"

Zheng Yingqi grinned bitterly, his own head really looked up to himself!

Li Yunlong has already begun to prepare - he asked people to bring the order back, requiring the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company to rush directly to Laoyang Village after receiving the order, and be sure to arrive before tomorrow evening, the 1st Company and the company directly under the regimental headquarters, led by Kong Jie, after the devils of the Baishui stronghold leave the day after tomorrow, they will sneak attack and seize the Baishui stronghold, and the other companies of the 1st Battalion and the 3rd Battalion will be led by Zhao Gang, and they must arrive near Longzhuang, 20 miles east of Laoyang Village, in the morning after tomorrow.

At that time, the battle will begin, and as long as the devils in the Baishui stronghold are dispatched to surround the attacking 2 companies, the rest of the independent regiment will launch a counter-encirclement and ambush the Oda squadron.

"When Ding Wei comes back to his senses, he will find that Lao Tzu's independent regiment has become neighbors with the new regiment again, I don't know if this kid will be happy to die," Li Yunlong said to Zheng Yingqi proudly: "Haha, after Lao Tzu's battle, he will have to change his shotgun!" ”

……

During the day, Zheng Yingqi didn't dare to relax and stared at the old Yang Village Turret, wanting to see if someone would notify the devils in the turret, but unexpectedly, until dark, neither Yang Dashou nor Yang Sanzhuang's father and son contacted the devils in the turret.

Lao Hu also felt confused, although emotionally he was unwilling to accept the fact that Yang Dashou had defected to the enemy, but intellectually he agreed with Zhao Shuzi's words, and had already regarded Yang Dashou as a traitor - but why didn't the traitor report to the devil after learning the information?

In the face of Lao Hu's puzzlement, Zheng Yingqi explained: "It is not ruled out that he will notify the devil after waiting for the exact news, and today we will go to the bottom and tell him that our troops will arrive tomorrow night, and attack the devil's turret the day after tomorrow, when the time comes, let's see what he does, if there is no action, it means that this person is credible, we can continue to fool Yang Sanzhuang and his son, and let the father and son pass the information back!" ”

"I hope Lao Yang has no problem...... Lao Hu sighed, he really doesn't want an old comrade who has been in the guerrilla army for two years to have a problem!

At night, three figures entered Lao Yang Village in the dark, they were Zheng Yingqi, Lao Hu and Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong plays the identity of Zhang Dabiao, who made Li Yunlong official here-Li Yunlong glared and wanted to kick, Zheng Yingqi could only grit his teeth and let Li Yunlong participate.

At the sound of the owl, Lao Yang opened the door and invited the three uninvited guests who came again into the house.

"Comrade Lao Yang, this is the commander of the reinforced company of my independent regiment, Zhang Dabiao, company commander, this is our intelligence officer Lao Yang," after Zheng Yingqi finished his introduction, Li Yunlong said:

"Comrade Lao Yang, I won't be verbose, you tell me about the situation of the turret at the entrance of the village, Lao Tzu has a reinforced company of 200 people, and the day after tomorrow will avenge you and let the little devil of the dog day pay for the blood debt!"

Zheng Yingqi saw it clearly, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on Lao Yang's face, and then he hurriedly said:

"Company Commander Zhang, there are two squads of enemies in this turret, a 12-person devil squad and a 9-person second devil squad, there are two crooked handles, there are no grenadiers, but their bullet reserves are sufficient, I went in several times and saw three large boxes of bullets, this is the map of the turret, I have already prepared it, Company Commander Zhang, you take a look."

As he spoke, he took out a drawing that had been drawn a long time ago, and the map was marked in great detail, and even the devil's machine gun was described in which firing hole it was arranged - of course, these things were not too useful, after all, the crooked sub-machine gun could move at any time.

Li Yunlong looked at the picture and said ostentatiously: "Just two crooked handles? It's not a big problem, a few days ago, our company took the artillery tower of the devil in Baizi Mountain, and captured a 92 heavy machine gun of the devil, our regiment commander was atmospheric, and left the heavy machine gun in our company, plus the two grenadiers of our company, hehe, this turret can be reached! ”

Zheng Yingqi slandered in his heart: Leader, you can really praise yourself!

"That's good!" Lao Yang said reassuringly, and after speaking, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly reminded: "Company Commander Zhang, the devils in the Baishui stronghold have cars, and they can arrive for support in two hours at most, so you have to be careful." ”

"Two hours?" Li Yunlong said proudly: "The company I brought is a reinforced company, there are two hundred people, heavy machine guns and grenadiers, at most an hour, Lao Tzu will gnaw this bone, and then let the devils in the Baishui stronghold eat ashes behind Lao Tzu!" ”

Zheng Yingqi watched Li Yunlong's free performance, and interjected: "Comrade Lao Yang, the devils in the Baishui stronghold are not a big problem, we will cut the devils' phone lines before the sneak attack, so that the devils in the turret can't pass on the news, and when they know the news, the daylilies will be cold!" ”

"That's good, that's good," Lao Yang exhaled, as if relieved of his own people.

Li Yunlong said goodbye and said: "The day after tomorrow, we will attack the artillery tower, and when the time comes, Comrade Lao Yang, you will have to cooperate with our guerrilla comrades and prepare to evacuate the villagers of our Lao Yang Village—I am worried that the devils in the Baishui stronghold will attack the people of our village!"

Lao Yang retained: "I know this, hey Company Commander Zhang, it's so dark, why don't you leave and stay here tonight?" ”

"This doesn't work, I came in advance, just to investigate the situation of the devil's turret, tomorrow I will investigate outside, this war, it's not just a rush up, we have to find out the situation first, we have to know the bottom of our hearts!"

"Okay, then I won't keep it, by the way, Company Commander Zhang, I'm going to send chickens and ducks to the devil's turret tomorrow, and I'll find out the situation when the time comes, where will I find you tomorrow night?"

"I'll just let Xiao Zheng come over."

After the exchange, the three of them left Lao Yang's house as if nothing happened, and after finding out of the village, Li Yunlong looked around and said softly: "This kid is a little weak-hearted, Lao Hu, what do you think?" ”

Lao Hu said ashamedly: "Captain Li, it was our work that didn't do a good job, and we almost made our team suffer a big loss!" ”

Obviously, Lao Hu has already decided that Lao Yang has betrayed!

"Work behind enemy lines, it's not so perfect, Lao Hu, don't blame yourself," Li Yunlong comforted and said to Zheng Yingqi: "I won't act in this scene tomorrow night, you can just fool that kid when the time comes, and when you attack the turret, catch that kid and don't let him go, I, Li Yunlong, hate these soft bones that don't have a backbone!" ”

……

The next day, Yang Dashou at noon, he took two chickens and a few ducks into the turret in a hurry, and the swaggering and unashamed appearance made the secret old Hu grit his teeth, and he specifically said to Zheng Yingqi: "Leave him to me, I will solve him with my own hands!" ”

Zheng Yingqi, of course, has no opinion - he has only one thought about traitors:

No mercy!

Some people choose to take refuge in devils because they are forced to do so or for their livelihood, as long as these people have not done evil, they can indeed be forgiven, but traitors who act for the tiger and traitors who betray themselves must not be forgiven for these two kinds of people!

Besides, on the side of the independent regiment, after receiving the information sent by Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Kong Jie immediately sent out the troops that had already been assembled according to Li Yunlong's order, and the commander of the 2nd company was the most excited, and led the troops to march in a hurry overnight, only sloppy trimming for a few hours, and finally arrived outside Laoyang Village before evening.

And Zheng Yingqi took Lao Hu and the monk and a few of them, quietly entered the village, secretly arrested Yang Sanzhuang and his son, and locked them up at Yang Dashou's house - after a simple interrogation, Yang Sanzhuang's father and son provided information for the devil, resulting in the death of three guerrillas and one serious injury.

This move also expressed trust in Yang Dashou, and after receiving information from Yang Dashou, Zheng Yingqi asked Lao Yang to take good care of the two people, and asked Lao Yang to be ready to cooperate with the guerrillas to evacuate the villagers.

……

At the same time, in the whitewater stronghold.

After listening to the call from the old Yang Village Fort, Oda finally gave the order: "Order the whole squadron to get ready!" At three o'clock in the morning, we set off and went to Baigouzi, which is 10 miles away from Lao Yang Village, to hide, once the Tu Balu attacks the cannon port of Lao Yang Village tomorrow morning, we must surround them and annihilate them all! ”
