Just when the first company finished cleaning up the battlefield and started to march towards Ningcheng again, the battle between the special operations company and the third battalion of the puppet army had already begun.

After careful consideration, Liu Cheng finally decided to adopt conservative tactics and wait for the puppet army outside to attack.

He removed all defenses and let everyone disperse to all corners of the Cai Mansion to hide, and then attack when the enemy entered the Cai Mansion and began to disperse and search.

Attack in a casual manner, but try not to shoot, and try to kill these people silently.

The people who lived in those houses around Cai's mansion had a place to go long ago; Those who had nowhere to go also hid in corners that they thought were safe, for fear of being hit by stray bullets flying around.

An old man with gray hair hid behind his stove with his seven or eight-year-old grandson in his arms, blocking the lid of the pot in front of him, and trembling with fright.

The child didn't know what the gunshots outside meant, so he asked innocently:

"Grandpa, I want to go out and watch the firecrackers."

The old man hugged the child's arms tightly, and coaxed in a low voice:

"Dog leftovers, obedient, let's not go out to see, wait a few days Grandpa will buy you a few small whips, let you put them yourself, okay?"

In the darkness, the child's clean eyes shone with happiness, and he said in a milky voice:

"That'...... Grandpa is not allowed to deceive people! ”

The old man sighed softly:

"Grandpa won't lie to you, I'll buy it for you as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and the old man hurriedly covered the child's mouth with his hand, for fear that he would make a slight movement.

Three puppet soldiers walked around the house for a long time with their guns in hand, not knowing what they were looking for.

One of the puppet soldiers stood in the doorway and looked into the house, muttering in a low voice:

"Oh, he's really poor, there's nothing!"

After five or six minutes, the footsteps gradually faded away, and the old man dared to let go of the hand covering the child's mouth.

The child's face was flushed, gasping for breath, and a dirty little face was covered with snot and tears.

Although the old man was not completely unable to breathe when he held him, he choked enough, and the child almost fainted several times.

The child was frightened, looked at the old man with a frightened face, and did not even dare to cry.

The old man took the child into his arms, two lines of turbid tears overflowed from his sunken eye sockets, and his throat trembled a few times before he shuddered out a sentence:

"Iniquity......

In front of Cai's house, Deng Jiamin looked up at the sky, turned his head and said to Ding Fu:

"Almost, order the companies to prepare for the attack!"

Ding Fu nodded, and said with some hesitation:

"Battalion commander, the people who went to look for food have returned, but more than 40 people have gone, and they have only found less than a bag of miscellaneous grains...... Not enough! ”

Deng Jiamin nodded with a calm face:

"I have long guessed this, it is impossible for the Japanese to let the common people have surplus food in their hands, it would be good not to starve to death, and expect them to have left? It's okay, it is estimated that there must be a lot of food in this yard, which should be enough for us to eat on the road. ”

Ding Fu didn't speak again, shook his head helplessly, turned around and left.

The grain Zhang Haipeng gave every month was barely enough to eat until the end of the third camp, and he often had to drink gruel for a few days to deal with it.

In this case, they simply cannot save food in their hands.

Now it is almost the end of the month, but the soldiers cannot be left hungry during the war, and these few meals eat up the grain that could have been boiled for four or five days of gruel.

If they can't find food anymore, even if they can win this battle, there will be no food that will allow them to hold out to the pass.

Deng Jiamin was like a mirror in his heart, even if he got the gold, he had no place to buy grain, so he could only grab some from the mouths of the people.

He knew that he couldn't stay in Ningcheng for a long time, and after taking the Cai Mansion, he would have to leave with the gold immediately, so he took advantage of this time to ask people to find some food.

It doesn't matter if they don't find it now, they have guns in their hands, and they can look for them slowly on the way.

In Deng Jiamin's heart, as long as it gets dark, victory will belong to their third battalion.

The process of entering Cai's mansion was not met with any obstacles, not even a single gunshot.

Five minutes had passed since he gave the order to start the attack, but not a single shot was fired, which made Deng Jiamin muttered in his heart.

Without waiting for him to send someone in to check, Ding Fu came out of the courtyard of Cai's mansion at a trot and ran straight in front of him.

Deng Jiamin frowned and asked:

"What kind of calf is he talking about? Why don't you fight? ”

Ding Fu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his expression was very nervous:

"What the hell, I didn't see a shadow after I went in!"

Deng Jiamin was stunned:

"Hasn't the three companies been surrounding the back?"

Ding Fu nodded:

"We've been surrounding this yard, and no one has run out, unless there's a tunnel in the yard!"

Deng Jiamin gritted his teeth:

"Search! Find the gold first, and then talk about the rest! ”

In the backyard of Cai's mansion, two puppet soldiers carefully pushed open the door of a room with guns in their hands, and walked in one after the other.

The one who went in first looked around, and whispered to the other:

"What the hell is this? There's nothing in the house! ”

The other closed the door, grinned and walked to a chair in the corner and sat down, and crossed Erlang's legs:

"Nothing, isn't it? Let's just cat's here, it's definitely dangerous outside. ”

"What's dangerous? I've been in for so long, and I haven't even looked at a figure. ”

"You know the! Just didn't look at the talent he is dangerous! Maybe one will come out and stab you to death! ”

"! Why didn't he stab him to death...... Uh......"

Before he finished speaking, the puppet soldier's body suddenly rose, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.

The other heard what seemed to be a choke from his companion and quickly got up from his chair to check.

But the moment he stood up, something suddenly fell on his shoulder.

Before he could react, his neck was suddenly tightened, and his body involuntarily rose off the ground.

In the event of a sudden lack of oxygen to the brain, a person loses control of the body in a very short period of time.

Like hanging.

Death by suffocation is quite a painful process, so 99% of people who choose to hang themselves will regret it after hanging themselves.

But at this time, it is almost impossible to save yourself.

In this case, it is difficult to find one out of 10,000 people who can raise their hands and grab the rope around their necks to take off their heads.

What's more, these two puppet soldiers didn't take the initiative to hang themselves, the rope around their necks was a looper, and the tighter they became.

One of them, though pulling out the dagger he was carrying, was unable to lift his hand above his head to cut the rope anyway.

After a dozen seconds, the dagger slipped out of his hand and slammed straight into the ground......
