The snow was falling, and it was another night. When the sky gradually brightened, the position outside the He family's large gathering was already completely covered with heavy snow. Even if you look closely with a telescope, you can only see some rough outlines of the ravines. Even the low bunkers made of coarse benzene furniture and earth and stone looked like mounds covered with heavy snow, and there was no way to see that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were hiding in the bunkers.

Wearing a white silk cloth cloak, the group of chestnuts lying in the trench at the forefront of the position held a telescope, looked at the fleeing villagers who were gradually thinning out on the road, and whispered to Li Jiashun who was lying beside him in a trembling voice: "Commander Li, look at this posture, I'm afraid that in a few hours, I will be able to see the Gongnan County Martial Arts Team behind His Palace, right?" Are there enough people to answer the call? Or....... Shall I bring someone up? Anyway, the men and horses who supported Yan Dahe were originally comrades of my Qingle County Martial Arts Team. I'm going to answer it, and I should be divided! ”

Also grabbing a binoculars and looking at the fleeing villagers on the road who were gradually sparse, Li Jiashun, whose face was blue from the cold, also responded with a trembling voice: "Without you old chestnut, Lao Tzu, the independent regiment of the Southern Hebei Military Division, will not be able to fight and open up?" The men and horses who responded were sent out in the middle of the night last night, and the leader of the team was also the number one in the old army! ”

"The number one in the old army? Those old oilers from the enemy engineering department? Or those downhill tigers in your guard platoon? ”

"Neither! I haven't had time to tell you yet - the superiors have sent a group of political cadres to all the units fighting behind enemy lines, and all of them are good hands! ”

"Political cadres? Isn't that ideological propaganda work? Can a war be made? ”

"You're really talking! The political work cadres sent down by the higher authorities are almost all trained by students who have gone to Yan'an on their own accord from all over the country, and they not only have knowledge and knowledge, but also have carefully tempered their ability to fight wars! I haven't seen it, not to mention, just these few sent by our Southern Hebei Military Division, the stabbing can fight on par with the good hands in my guard platoon, and the marksmanship is no worse than those old oilmen in the enemy's engineering department! ”

"There are such precious characters? Then you are willing to send out to lead the team to pick up? There is no shortage of people in our old army who can fight, but there are really few who are literate and knowledgeable! Such a baby....... I said Commander Li, when this battle is over, will you send a few to my Qingle County Martial Arts Team? Help me train those leather monkeys under my hands? ”

"Dream of marrying a daughter-in-law - you think of good things! The superiors have sent a total of five political work cadres to our Southern Hebei Military Division, you are good, how many do you want when you open your mouth? He also said that he wanted to train the leather monkeys under your hands...... As for Mo Tianliu, who tosses the most tricks under your hands, isn't that what you are used to? Poke a hole in the sky, and you will take clay to help cover it. What's wrong? At this time, I think about it? Why did you go earlier? ”

"Can't you keep the sky to your temperament? Now he is a person, at most leading a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west. But in the future, if it's time for him to take the lead, he won't be able to do it again! Commander Li, no matter what you say, this battle is over, you have to send a political cadre to my Qingle County Martial Arts Team! Mo Tianliu is a good horse, and his wildness and fighting nature have also been called out, and it is time to give this good horse a halt......"

Halfway through the words, from the direction of the main road in the distance, there was already a faint sound of messy gunshots. Seeing the villagers fleeing on the road stumbling and speeding up the pace of running, Li Jiashun suddenly turned his hand and pulled out the 20 pistols of Dezao on his waist, forcefully broke the hammer that was frozen and a little sluggish, and shouted loudly: "The devil is here, ready to fight!" The response group hurried up and helped the villagers on the road to withdraw into the He family as soon as possible! ”

With Li Jiashun's order, two or three hundred strong men wearing cotton robes of various colors, but all with a red cloth strip tied to their heads, jumped out of the snow-covered trench, rushed to the road like arrows from the string, and almost carried their backs to help those exhausted fleeing villagers, running in the direction of the He family's big set, shouting indiscriminately: "You are afraid!" We are from Niujiao Village, helping the Eight Roads to fight devils! ”

"When you enter the He family's big set, look for the noble uncle who is in charge of Xiaodouling, he will lead you to get food, clothes, and covers!"

"When we enter the He family's big set, we will be sure, and there is the Eighth Route Army in front of us to help us block the devils! There are thousands of Eighth Route Army, and the little devils have brought our fellow villagers here, even if it is the end......"

Seeing that the villagers who fled on the road were supported and sent to the He family's big gathering almost in the blink of an eye, Li Jiashun shouted again: "Cover the group, go on!" ”

Still accompanied by Li Jiashun's order, one hundred and ten strong men with red cloth tied to their heads jumped up from the snow-covered trench, either holding a large dustpan filled with loose snow in their hands, or dancing branches of trees, and retreated to cover the footprints left by the strong stick men of the receiving group near the position, and then retreated along the road to retreat to cover up the footprints left by the strong stick men of the receiving group near the position, and then retreated along the road to the He family's big set.

Looking at the snow with satisfaction, where no footprints could be seen, Li Jiashun nodded at the chestnut group with a low smile: "You old chestnut still has a way!" Yesterday, thousands of strong men were not happy to leave, so they had to stay and fight devils with us. If it weren't for the number of ways you came up with this group selection, each performing its own duties, and each taking its own responsibility, I'm afraid that these thousands of folks would be able to expose our position! ”

also pulled out the 20 pistols of Dezao that had been covering his clothes from his waist, and the chestnut group broke the hammer while vigorously breaking it, and whispered to the Li family: "The villagers are calling the devil to suffer from the scourge, and I really can't swallow this evil breath, so I want to fight the devil with us!" We can't let the villagers vent this spirit, but we can't let these villagers who have never fought a war fight with the devil as soon as they get started! This method can be used to allow the villagers to participate in the battle, and it can also ensure the safety of the villagers as much as possible....... I learned this way in the training class in the old base area, didn't you also learn it back then? What, forgot? ”

Looking at the group of chestnuts with some playfulness, Li Jiashun laughed in a low voice: "What are you forgetting?" This is not that your old chestnut has a great reputation and prestige on the ground in Qingle County, even the villagers in Gongnan and Suiping counties know that there is a captain in Qingle County who burned the devil's grain depot and the mouth of the ditch in the big war...... At that time, you shouted, it worked better than me! ”

Before the chestnuts could speak again, the sound of gunfire in the distance suddenly intensified, interspersed with the sound of machine gun fire that could barely be heard between pauses. Listening to the gunfire that suddenly became dense, especially after a few grenade explosions, Li Jiashun's face suddenly changed: "I'm afraid that Yan Dahe called the devil's pursuers to stick to it?" The three-plate axe during this retreat was so fierce, I'm afraid it was ......."

Before he finished speaking, the gunshots that had just rang out suddenly became sparse. If you listen closely, almost all of them are shooting unhurriedly, and occasionally mixed with the explosion of grenades fired from Japanese-style grenadiers, like a timpani hammer.

Suddenly slapped the frozen snow shell in front of him, and the chestnut group screamed urgently: "Ruined!" I'm afraid that Yan Dahe has no bullets at all, and even the machine guns that go off are empty! If Yan Dahe's three-plate axe before retreating failed to buy Wei Zhengguang time to plant mines and explosives, I am afraid that even if they can withdraw, they will have to break their bones! Commander Li, I'll take a few people to pick up ......"

Grabbing the group of chestnuts who wanted to jump out of the trench, Li Jiashun reached out and pointed at the end of the road with the barrel of the gun: "No need!" Yan Dahe, they took it down......"

Hurriedly raising the telescope in front of him, the chestnut group looked at the dozen or so martial arts team members who were running desperately along the road, and exclaimed in disbelief: "There are only a dozen people left?" I saw Yan Dahe...... I'm afraid it's a lottery, but Gou Da is running away with him! What if the ring is still ringing....... Damn, Gongnan County Martial Arts Team...... I saw three comrades from the Gongnan County Martial Arts Team! Gongnan County Martial Arts Team, this one is a spell out! Even half of the men I sent out to pick up the horses are left......"

Almost following the martial arts team members who were running for their lives along the road, Wei Zhengguang, who was carrying a bamboo basket on his back, was very leisurely, unhurried and calm. A short-handled shovel held in his left hand dug a few times on the road from time to time, and then filled in the freshly dug snow pit with his feet, so that people could see at a glance the excavation marks left on the snow, which was obviously a trick used by the suspicious soldiers.

In some places where the footprints of the martial arts team members who were rushing forward heavily, Wei Zhengguang cautiously squatted down, used the short-handled shovel in his hand to dig out a small hole next to the footprints, and then took out a mine from the bamboo basket and carefully stuffed it into the freshly dug hole.

Although Wei Zhengguang's skill in burying mines is skillful and his movements are fast, after all, it has delayed some time. Almost immediately after Wei Zhengguang planted three mines on the main road, at the end of the main road, several Japanese soldiers who had formed an inverted triangle formation had already appeared, and they were shooting directly at Wei Zhengguang with their guns.

Without looking at the ice and snow debris around him that was splashed everywhere by bullets, Wei Zhengguang took a big step forward with his waist bent, and he could let go of a mine he had just planted, and then continued to trot along the road. And on the road in front of Wei Zhengguang, the man with two machine guns on his shoulders slammed into the back of a boulder on the side of the road, and the splitter snatched a 38 cover from the hands of a martial arts engineer who was exhausted from running with a rifle, and shot at the gun and the Japanese soldiers who were almost catching up with Wei Zhengguang!

In the midst of the sharp gunfire, one of the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the sky, while the other two Japanese soldiers hurriedly flashed towards the side of the road, relying on the cover that could cover their bodies on the side of the road, and pulled the trigger on the gun on their knees.

Perhaps knowing that it would be difficult to be hit in case of a sound hidden behind the rocks on the side of the road, the two Japanese soldiers who were squatting behind the hidden objects on the side of the road almost all aimed their guns at Wei Zhengguang, who was trotting with his waist on the main road.......
