Lying in the deserted ditch outside another city gate, Mo Tianliu and the chestnut group listened attentively to the explosion in the distance, and the two of them shouted excitedly almost at the same time: "It's done!" Now the devil doesn't dare to open the city gate easily......"

Glancing at each other, Mo Tianliu was the first to laugh: "Big boss, Brother Zhengguang's bomb is really authentic, listening to the movement of the explosion just now, I'm afraid that if the bomb is twenty or thirty steps away, there will be no living mouth, right?" ”

Smiling and nodding, Li Ziqun replied: "Wei Zhengguang's skills in making bombs and mines can be regarded as a must in the Southern Hebei Military Division!" It's a pity that we don't have many explosives in our hands, and the power of the earth explosives we use is not too great. Otherwise...... As long as the bomb he made is placed in the right place, the city wall of Qingle County will not be able to withstand the power of the bomb! ”

Turning his head to look at the closed city gate not far away, and then listening to the loud shouting of the Japanese soldiers from the city gate building, Mo Tianliu lay on his back in the ditch, and let out a long sigh: "This time it's done!" As long as the devils don't dare to go out of the city and toss, with the help of the villagers in Tujia Village, plus the strong men called from the villages near the left, the small 100,000 catties of grain can be transported away before dawn! When the time comes, the idea will be changed to coarse grains, and then mixed with some edible wild vegetables, which will always make the villagers make do with it until next year......"

After a few words of advice to several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were on guard duty, the chestnut group took advantage of the situation and pulled Mo Tianliu, who was lying on his back in the ditch: "Tianliu, let's hurry up to the back." In addition to the villagers from Tujia Village tonight, the villagers from several other villages are not familiar with our martial arts team, and you lead the new comrades who joined the martial arts team from Dawu Village to take care of them, and you must tell the villagers to put their hearts in their stomachs and take back the food that should have belonged to them in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Pouted disapprerovingly, although Mo Tianliu stood up obediently, he muttered in a low voice: "It's such a good thing as white grain, who knows that you can't rush to come?" What's not to worry about, and ask someone to take care of it......"

While leading Mo Tianliu towards the place where the grain was buried, the chestnut group shook his head slightly: "You can't say that. When I first joined the revolution, the big guys beat up local tyrants and bullies, and distributed floating wealth and food, and many villagers were afraid of being retaliated against by local tyrants and bullies in the future, even if we were repeatedly mobilized, they did not dare to receive floating wealth and food. Some villagers received floating wealth and food in front of us, but they quietly sent them back to those bullies behind our backs......"

"But our current situation is different...... If you want to say that you beat the rich people and bullies in your hometown and divide their family food, the big guys all know the roots, so they are naturally afraid that those rich people and bullies will come to the door to find the back account after they have eased up. But we snatched back the food for them from the devils, and the devils can't know which village the villagers got the food back......

In the whispering conversation, Mo Tianliu and Chestnut Qun walked fast under their feet, and after a while, they rushed to the woods where the grain was hidden. waved to Meng Mancang, who was squatting outside the woods, and the chestnut group shouted to Meng Mancang in a low voice: "Mancang, the heat is almost there!" Let's start transporting food! ”

Grabbing a small stone from the ground, Meng Mancang turned over and hit the stone three times on a big tree behind him, and then whispered to the group of chestnuts: "Captain, I'm afraid there is a leak....... The villagers in Tujia Village didn't say anything, all the strong men arrived, and even the half-grown children came to help. But a few other villages ......."

Listening to Meng Mancang's somewhat hesitant words, Li Ziqun suddenly frowned: "How many people have come from other villages?" ”

Drawing a slap towards the group of chestnuts, Meng Mancang replied in a low voice: "There are six villages around Qingle County, and there are fifty people in the city, and most of them are old men and old ladies, and even half-grown children are rare!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the sweaty Tu Yam had already strode from the forest to the chestnut group, panting heavily and shouting, "Captain Li, this is the ...... It's all my fault! I didn't even think ........"

Reaching out and gently patting Tu Yam's shoulder, the chestnut group said in a harmonious voice: "Brother Yam, don't worry, what is the situation, you say slowly?" ”

Wiping the sweat from his face, Tu Yam said in an anxious whisper: "When I sent grain to those villages a few days ago, the villagers in several villages next to Qingle County actually accepted the grain we sent. But I don't know where it came from, some people said that our food is not for free, but if you take the food we sent, then every family has to draw strong men and carry guns to eat food. In the past, the treasure bottle meeting on the ground in southern Hebei did not know where it came from, and the whole world drew talismans on the doors of the villagers who got the food, and they also said that it was the people of their treasure bottle who sent the food. If you eat the food of the Aquarius Society, you have to believe in the Aquarius Lady......"

Looking at Tu Yam's anxious appearance in surprise, the chestnut group exclaimed in surprise: "How is this...... Inexplicably, another treasure bottle will come out? ”

Without waiting for Tu Yam to answer, Mo Tianliu, who was standing beside the chestnut group, quickly answered the conversation: "Didn't the Aquarius Society call the official family to exterminate it a long time ago?" How many years have it been, why is there someone holding a treasure bottle at this time? Brother Yam, you're not mistaken, are you? ”

Shaking his head vigorously, Tu Yam exclaimed urgently: "How can this be mistaken? In the early years, when the vase would be the most violent, some people went to Tujia Village to draw the talisman of the vase meeting, and dragged the villagers in the village to join the meeting and worship the vase mother. Seeing that no one in our Tujia Village believed that, the head of the Aquarius Club also sent a message, saying that our Tujia Village had offended the Aquarius Niangniang and wanted to bring someone to beat our Tujia Village! If it weren't for the fact that the leader of the Aquarius Society went crazy and went to Baoding Mansion to blackmail the relatives of the official family and was arrested, I am afraid that those people who have lost their minds and called the Aquarius Society in our Tujia Village would have caused the disaster......"

Raising his hand to stop Tu Yam and Mo Tianliu's words, the chestnut group shouted in a deep voice: "The matter of this treasure bottle will be put aside for now!" Brother Yam, between now and tomorrow dawn, there will be about three or four hours, and the original plan we made to transport grain to several villages can only be changed—let's send grain to the nearest village here! According to the manpower and carts we can have at the moment, can we catch up? ”

After a little hesitation, Tu Yam nodded fiercely: "The car is full of people, and I will work hard all night, and I will almost be able to transfer all this grain before dawn tomorrow." ”

"The nearest village to here....... It's Wangjiagou, right? Is there a place where you can hide food? ”

Without applying yams to speak, Mo Tianliu had already quickly agreed: "There is no one in the village, but after passing through the village, there is a deserted Wutong Temple in the ravine, but it can barely put down these grains!" No one goes to that place on weekdays, as long as the opening to the Wutong Temple is blocked, and the grain is hidden there for three or five days, it should not be in the way! ”

After thinking for a while, the chestnut group waved his hand suddenly: "Then do it, transfer the grain to the Wutong Temple behind Wangjiagou first!" Brother Yam, you ask those old people from other villages to take some food back first, and they can take as much as they can. Tell them clearly - this food was snatched back from the devils by the Qingle County Martial Arts Team of the Eighth Route Army for the villagers, and it was originally the villagers' own things. The villagers who have taken the grain will never draw Ding and send them to work, so that they can rest their hearts in their stomachs! Let the villagers from Tujia Village work hard, and cooperate with our comrades of the Eighth Route Army to load the grain and transport it away! The work of leading the way along the way is all up to the folks of Tujia Village! ”

Seeing Tu Yam take the order and leave, the chestnut group dragged Mo Tianliu, who was standing beside him: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and help transport the grain!" ”

He promised the order of the chestnut group in his mouth, but Mo Tianliu didn't walk very fast. Especially after walking into the black-lit woods, Mo Tianliu vaguely looked at the carts and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were crowded into a pile in the woods and carrying food, and suddenly shouted to the group of chestnuts: "Big boss, you can't do this, nest worker!" ”

Nodding approvingly, the chestnut group smacked his lips and said, "The road can't be seen clearly by the black light, and the place in the forest is narrow, and the cart can't drive into the forest...... If we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to get any food by dawn......"

Looking back at the outline of the dark city wall of Qingle County in the distance, Mo Tianliu pondered for a moment with his eyes rolled, bent down and picked up a few dead branches from the ground, and tied them into a torch in three or two clicks: "Big boss, anyway, the devil doesn't dare to open the city gate easily, let's cover it up and delay the work, so we simply light a torch to do it!" ”

also looked back at the direction of the city wall of Qingle County, and the chestnut group nodded slowly: "This is also a method...... Da Dan, you take a few comrades with good marksmanship and go to the city gate to reinforce the comrades who are on guard duty. As soon as you find that the devils are showing signs of opening the city gates, you will take the initiative to shoot! Wei Zhengguang, how much explosives do you still have in your hand? ”

With the low cheers of the chestnut group, Wei Zhengguang, who was sweating profusely, came out of the crowd huddled together, and shouted at the chestnut group with his face up: "There are almost five catties of explosives, and the bottom of the box is just this bit of inventory, all of which are good goods pulled out of the stink bomb!" ”

"Make a few mines, if the devil really opens the city gate and rushes out......"

Nodding heavily towards the chestnut group, Wei Zhengguang, who was leaning over, quickly answered the chestnut group's words: "Captain, don't worry!" There is a big but cover, plus the mines I made...... I promise the devils won't get out of the city gates! ”

Grabbing the torch that Mo Tianliu had just tied, the chestnut group raised his voice and shouted to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were huddled in the dark: "Everyone stop the work in your hands first, immediately collect the dry wood in the forest and light a few fires to illuminate it, and then tie some more torches, all of which are inserted into the devil's granary that we burned a few days ago, and make the scene as big as possible!" Go to a few more who are quick on their legs and feet, and notify the comrades who are in charge of the task of raiding and harassing outside the other city gates, and make a noise! ”

Just a little hesitation, Mo Tianliu suddenly pondered and understood the thoughts of the chestnut group. Sticking his teeth at the group of chestnuts standing beside him, Mo Tianliu smiled and shouted at the group of chestnuts: "Big boss, do you really want to toss out a posture to attack the county seat?" If that's the case...... Shall I give another trick? ”

"Tianliu, what do you have in mind?"

"I'm afraid that fire alone is not majestic enough, let's add some more smoke? There are a lot of dogwoods in this forest, and the wind direction tonight is also blowing in the direction of the county, let's put some dogwoods on the fire, and then sprinkle some wet soil to simmer smoke, one can block the eyes of the little devil, and the other is ....... Smoke to death his shitty little devil! ”

"That's it!"
