The sky had just seen the light up, and in a village closest to Qingle County, there was already a series of gongs that could not be heard at all. Accompanied by the sound of the dejected gong, a hoarse voice also sounded in the village that was disturbed by the sound of the gong: "Old and young masters, villagers and neighbors, listen to it....... The barnyard kiln Fang Lao's family fornicated eight roads, and was taken by the imperial army! The barnyard kiln does not leave a single one in the village....... Hung in Qingle County for seven days...... The old and young masters in the village have to go to Qingle County to see it once...... Whoever dares not to go will be regarded as fornicating with the Eight Roads......"

The same gongs and shouts gradually sounded in the other villages near the main road as the sky gradually brightened. It's just after noon, and almost all the large and small villages near the main road in Qingle County have received such news. From the villages near the main road, the villagers who were driven to Qingle County by the Imperial Association Army or Japanese soldiers also saw a long series of wooden shelves erected at the gate of Qingle County, as well as those barnyard kiln villagers who were hung upside down with their hands tied upside down on wooden shelves and had long since lost their breath......

The whispering voice sounded among the frightened villagers: "What the hell is going on? ”

"I also heard about it, saying that Fang Laoqi's family entertained a few Eighth Route Army who went to the barnyard kiln to rest their feet. As soon as the front foot of the Eighth Route Army left, the back foot of the barnyard kiln was surrounded by the Japanese. The houses were burned, the caves were blown up with grenades, and the twenty or thirty people in the barnyard kiln didn't run away, and they all ......."

"The barnyard kiln went to the Eighth Route Army, how did the Japanese know?"

"I don't know? But...... I'm also wondering, could it be that there are Japanese eyeliner hidden outside the village? ”

"I'm afraid I can't do it, right? There are only seven or eight households in the barnyard kiln, twenty or thirty people, and there are few villagers who can go to the barnyard kiln on weekdays, how can the Japanese keep an eye on this inconspicuous barnyard kiln? ”

"But if you don't call the Japanese to target it, where can you ask the Japanese to slaughter this barnyard kiln?! Even such a small village can be stared at by the Japanese, so the other villages ......."

"Could it be that our village really has to be like the Japanese shouting, when we see the eight roads, we will beat the gong, and then send someone to the Japanese gun tower to report the news?"

"This is a matter of great virtue, we can't say anything!"

"But if you don't report it...... The Japanese can slaughter the barnyard kiln, but they can also slaughter our village......."

In the whispering sound like the wind blowing through the leaves, Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangqu, who were dressed as villagers, stared at the villagers in the barnyard kiln who were hanging high on the wooden shelves with gloomy faces, and turned around in unison and slowly squeezed out of the crowd......

From the moment they got the news that the barnyard kiln had been slaughtered by the Japanese army, Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangqu rushed over in the direction of Qingle County as soon as possible. Behind Mo Tianliu, Sha Bangqu and others, the chestnut group leading more than a dozen elite martial arts team members also moved to the vicinity of Qingle County, hiding in a mountain forest where they could see Qingle County from a distance, waiting for Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangqu to bring back the news after investigation, so as to decide the next move.

Walking along the main road almost without a pot of tea, Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangqu, who were walking on the road one after the other, turned into a small road and walked quickly in the direction of the mountain forest hidden by the chestnut group and others after making sure that no one was watching behind them.

Stepping up his pace, Sha Bangqu and Mo Tianliu walked side by side, and then shouted to Mo Tianliu in a muffled voice: "Tianliu, what's going on?" When did we send someone to the barnyard kiln? Could it be ...... Is it someone from Commander Lee's side? ”

Shaking his head vigorously, Mo Tianliu said in a deep voice: "Definitely not!" There are not many people going to the barnyard kiln on weekdays, and there are vendors who collect wild medicine to go two or three times a year. There are not many locals in Qingle County on Commander Li's side, and the barnyard kiln is not on the main road, even if Commander Li sends someone to carry out the task, then he will not be able to go to the barnyard kiln! This is the ...... Something is wrong! ”

"But the devil didn't mean ......"

"Do you believe the devil's words?! According to me, this is the trick of the devil to kill the chicken and show the monkey, using the twenty or thirty lives of the barnyard kiln to scare the villagers in Qingle County, so that the villagers can't figure out the bottom in their hearts, and they don't dare to face our Eighth Route Army in the future! ”

"The devil's trick is really poisonous....... So what do we do? Our martial arts team can't leave the villagers, if we don't meet the villagers in the future, don't talk about the side, the food will not be able to help first, and we will starve to death if we are hungry! But if I go to various villages to meet with the villagers, I am afraid of ......"

"Let's go back and see the big boss! The devils in Qingle County are really different from the devils in the past......."

Footsteps quickly drilled into the mountain forest where the chestnut group led the people to hide, Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangqu didn't bother to say hello to the sentry lurking at the edge of the woods, and went straight to the chestnut group hidden in the woods, and reported the detected situation to the chestnut group in a few words.

Listening to the situation reported by Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangqu, the chestnut group with a solemn face muttered for a moment, and then grabbed a water hyacinth and handed it to Mo Tianliu, who had already walked dry: "You don't have to think about it, it must be a ghost trick tossed by the devil!" But this ghost trick ...... Our Eighth Route Army Martial Arts Team really has no way to deal with it for a while-we can't ask the villagers to take risks! ”

After drinking most of the gourd water in one go, Mo Tianliu handed the water hyacinth to Sha Bangqu, who was standing with his divine whip: "Big boss, I think this devil is coming back...... Especially the devil leader who came back this time, it's really different from the devils in the past! This devil seems to know the number of ways our Eighth Route Army Martial Arts Team fights, so he didn't meet us first, but first thought of separating our Eighth Route Army Martial Arts Team from the villagers. Without the villagers to send us food and send letters, and then we don't dare to enter the villages at all, there will be fewer and fewer places where our Eighth Route Army military engineering team can operate, and then the devils will only need to press us to a palm-sized territory, even if they don't beat us, we will starve to death! ”

Nodding slightly, the chestnut group said in a deep voice: "I have also pondered this matter, and I also understand the devil's combat intentions, but for a while, I ...... We really can't come up with a suitable way to deal with it? ”

Frowning, Mo Tianliu pondered for a moment before he hesitated and said: "The devil has tossed out a way to maintain the meeting in various villages, singing against our hundred village joint defense, and forcing the villagers to sound the gong to warn when they see our Eighth Route Army Martial Arts Team, and go to the turret near the village to report the news....... Big boss, I think we can let the folks try it first? ”

"Try? What to try? ”

"Tell the villagers to really bang the gong when they see us entering the village, and send someone to the devil's turret to report the news, and try if the devil can really come out of the turret to fight with us?"

"Oh? Tianliu, can you tell me what you think? ”

"If you want me to tell me...... I can't tell you why! Big boss, why don't we leave now and go to the nearest ploughshare village to the Devil's Sanchawan Turret! The person in charge of Litou Village is Wan Erye, and he is still a little related to our martial arts team in case of a ring. Wan Erye was also born as a hunter back then, relying on an old musket in his hand, he also fought with bandits a few times, he was bold and could carry things, and he would definitely be able to help us find out the way for the devil to fight! ”

"Tianliu, what are you trying to do? Steady or unstable? But you can't tell the villagers of Ploughshare Village to have another accident! ”

"There are dates or no dates, let's talk about three poles! The big boss, we living people can't suffocate urine! Besides, even if we really stop meeting with the villagers in each village, in the end, the villagers in each village will still not be able to escape the scourge of devils! If you don't die on the first day of junior high and die on fifteen, it's better to go out and fight! It's not too early now, big boss, let's go? ”

Seeing the resolute look on Mo Tianliu's face, the chestnut group hesitated for a moment, but shook his head slightly: "You can't be reckless in this matter!" Say a thousand things and ten thousand, the safety of the villagers is a big deal! Let's go back to Chawanzhai now, and then send someone to Tujia Village to get in touch with Commander Li, and discuss a perfect way! ”

Stamping his feet in a hurry, Mo Tianliu shouted at the chestnut group in a loud voice: "Fighting a war is originally a job of playing with your head, where can there be no risk?" ”

"We can take risks, but we must not take risks with the villagers! God, it's a good thing to be brave, but to be reckless is to miss a big thing! Execute the order! ”

Quite unconvinced, he opened his mouth towards the group of chestnuts, but Mo Tianliu didn't say a word, just stomped his feet again, and silently helped the other martial arts team members who were hiding in the woods to pack up their weapons and equipment, and walked along the forest path towards Chawanzhai.

I don't know if it's because of the bad mood, Mo Tianliu, who has always been at the front of the line on weekdays, always fell at the back of the queue on the way back to Chawanzhai. And Sha Bangqu, who has always followed Mo Tianliu indefinitely, naturally fell behind at the end of the team. After a short rest halfway, Mo Tian, who set foot on the way home again, left no more than a pot of cigarettes, so he shouted that his stomach hurt, and dragged Sha Bangqu into the woods by the side of the path.

Through the dense branches in the woods, Mo Tianliu watched the team disappear from a distance, and then pulled Sha Bangqu, who was squatting beside him: "Hurry up, Ben Litou Village!" ”

Staring at Mo Tianliu dumbfounded, Sha Bangqu suddenly shouted in a muffled voice: "Ben Litou Village? Tianliu, what are you doing here? The captain made it clear that you are not allowed to ......."

slapped Sha Bangqu on the back of the head, and Mo Tianliu shouted in a low voice: "What are you yelling about?" Let's follow the big boss back to Chawanzhai, in the end, don't we still have to come out to deal with the tricks tossed by the devil? Walking back and forth so many wrongful roads, we might as well go straight to Litou Village to do serious things! As long as I try to find out the number of ways to fight that the devil has figured out in private, I will definitely be able to make the devil dumb and eat Coptis chinensis - I can't tell if there is suffering! ”

"But if it's ......"

"Where are so many whatevers? Come with me, yes! ”
