Ten minutes later, Zhao Shixun and the others were taken back to the courtyard, and then they were pushed and shoved by several puppet soldiers and locked up in a firewood room of a landlord's house.

Boom......

The dilapidated wooden door was slammed shut, and then chained from the outside.

Looking around, there were seven or eight ragged men in this room, except for the newcomer Zhao Shixun and the others.

The few men didn't show any unwanted interest when they saw two more newcomers being pushed in, they just glanced up and then fell back in their respective places and snored again.

Silenced from the initial tension, Zhao Shixun and Zhang Dapeng looked at me, I looked at you, staring at each other with big eyes.

"What are you laughing at with the surname Zhao? At this time, do you still have kung fu to laugh? ”

Choked by Zhang Dapeng, Zhao Shixun sighed with a little doubt.

"yes, am I smiling? Besides, you can see me laughing in this pitch black? ”

", you laughed out loud and I couldn't hear it. Lao Tzu has followed you for eight lifetimes, and he has let an opium ghost kick him, and the calf is ....... ”

Hearing this, he shook his head helplessly, and Zhao Shixun lightly kicked the other party and said lightly:

"Alright, don't be a of ink. Lao Tzu is tired, I want to rest for a while, and I have to go to repair the turret tomorrow. ”

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun casually pulled a broken basket as a pillow, took a trip on the firewood and grass, and closed his eyes.

"You ......, sleep and sleep, sleep to death you conscienceless calf ......."

sighed, rubbed his face helplessly, Zhang Dapeng could only lie down and look at the black rumbling roof, and slowly fell asleep.

……

Just when Zhao Shixun and the others were asleep, on a hill a few miles away from Pingdao Village, the old immortal was bandaging Heiwa's wounds, while the instructor Zhou Yu kept walking around, thinking hard about what to do.

The company commander's accidental arrest made the entire Seventh Company instantly blinded, like a child who had lost his parents.

Zhou Dahu and Xizi asked for battle one after another, and insisted on a night attack on Pingdao Village to rescue their company commander.

However, the situation in front of the Seventh Company is that the devil has been alarmed and must be prepared. Coupled with the geographical location of Pingdao Village, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is attacked at night, the Seventh Company is likely to suffer serious casualties.

The most important thing is that even if the Seventh Company suffers heavy casualties, it may not be able to attack it, let alone rescue Zhao Shixun and Zhang Dapeng.

"Instructor, you should give me a word, our company commander has fallen into the hands of devils!"

"Turtle son, big tiger Xizi, what are you choking? Can you save people by getting on fire in a hurry? Didn't you see the instructor trying to figure it out? ”

bandaged the wound of the black baby, took a few puffs of cigarette and reprimanded Xizi Dahu.

"Instructor, you can quickly think of a way, or I will go into the village to see the situation first."

Shao Fei, as Zhao Shixun's herald and guard, was the most anxious. Zhao Shixun had a life-saving grace for him, which made this kid cry in a hurry.

"I said hurry up, don't make a mess here, it's going to be bright this day, you still touch the village, do you want to eat guns?"

The old immortal stepped forward with a pipe in his mouth and pulled back Shao Fei, who was pestering Zhou Yu.

After pacing back and forth for a while, Zhou Yu frowned and suddenly walked in front of Heiwa, staring at the other party with blood-red eyes and asking directly:

"Are you sure you didn't hear the gunshots, not a single one?"

Looking at the instructor's scary appearance, Heiwa swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely.

"It's ......, I didn't hear it. When I left, I saw that the company commander and Zhang Dapeng had taken out their short guns, but I don't know why, I didn't hear a single gunshot behind me. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu stared at the other party, and Zhao Shixun's last few words echoed in his mind.

Call......

With a long sigh of relief, Zhou Yu turned to look at the soldiers in front of him, and said in a firm tone:

"Don't panic, everyone! The company commander and they successfully blended into the village, and everyone followed the previous arrangement, seized the time to rest, and everything was discussed at dawn. ”

Looking at the puzzled people in front of him, Zhou Yu suddenly raised his voice.

"Look at what you see, carry out the order!"

Although Xizi and Dahu still wanted to fight, they were pushed back by the old immortal.

After a while, the old immortal found Zhou Yu, who was resting against a tree, with a pipe in his mouth.

Bending down and sitting down laboriously, the old immortal knocked the ash in the pipe, and while slowly filling the pipe with tobacco, he whispered:

"Your baby did the right thing today, no matter whether the company commander is dead or alive, the team must be stabilized first."

Hearing this, he sat up straight and looked at the old immortal, Zhou Yu said a little worriedly;

"I think so too, Heiwa didn't hear the gunshots, which means that Lao Zhao and they should at least be alive.

That being the case, we can't just go out blindly.

Alas, ......, I don't know what happened to Lao Zhao and them. ”

Looking at Zhou Yu, who was slightly lost, with a slight smile, the old immortal gently paddled a foreign fire and put it on the pipe and took a few puffs.

"You put your heart in your stomach, the company commander is a brilliant person. Being surrounded and not firing a gun means that they already have a way to ....... ”

……

The rooster cries at dawn, and the sun rises on the mountain.

One mile south of Pingdao Village.

Lying in the grass on the hillside, Zhou Yu raised his binoculars and quietly observed the entrance of Pingdao Village.

Not long after, several puppet soldiers laboriously opened the gate of the village, and the three devil soldiers were the first to walk out of the village, followed by columns of villagers tied together.

Soon, a team of more than 200 people left the village in a mighty way, walked down the soil plain of Pingdao Village, turned a corner, and headed south along the road.

As soon as the captured strong laborers left the village, several puppet soldiers closed the village gates. It can be seen that this village was a temporary garrison of the Japanese puppet army here, and there were people stationed even during the day.

The moment they came out of the villagers, all the soldiers of the Seventh Company held their breath and looked at the team below the mountain with wide eyes, for fear of missing something.

Soon, two sturdy and familiar figures came into everyone's sight.

"It's Brother Dapeng, that's our company commander! They're really alive! ”

After a while, Zhou Yu handed his glasses to the anxious Xizi beside him and exhaled a long breath.

"I'll just say, Chief Zhao didn't die so easily, isn't that good?"

Qi Baoshan was happy and ordered the soldiers around him to put down the grenadiers.

Not long ago, Zhou Yu also found Qi Baoshan and asked him to set up all the grenadiers in the second platoon, once it was confirmed that the company commander was not in the team, Zhou Yu was ready to shell Pingdao Village, and then rushed in to rob people.

Regardless of whether Zhao Shixun is dead or alive, Zhou Yu must give an explanation to the soldiers of the Seventh Company.

After confirming that Zhao Shixun is still alive, the next step is very clear, that is, how to rescue him and rescue the villagers who were taken captive.

Looking at the excited warriors around him, Zhou Yu ordered a few people.

"Kiko, you take your people with me and follow the team for a while, and see where the little devil will take them."

"Yes! Instructor"

"Big Tiger, Old Wu."

"Here."

"Da Hu takes your four platoons, Lao Wu takes five platoons, and you two scout the terrain along the route of the villagers to see if there is anything conducive to an ambush."

"Yes!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu looked at Heiwa and Qi Baoshan.

"Heiwa, if you are injured, stay here and continue to monitor the devils in Pingdao Village, and Qi Baoshan will also stay with you with the second platoon."

"Hmm."

After assigning the task, everyone did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly dispersed.

……

After walking along the winding sandy road for half an hour, Zhao Shixun and his team were finally escorted to their destination, a rather high soil plain located three miles south of Pingdao Village.

Although this stronghold is called the Pingdao Village Base, it is a mountain road more than three miles away from Pingdao Village.

However, this is not because the name of the stronghold is wrong, but because this is indeed the location of Koheidō Village.

The terrain is a relatively flat valley of river impacts, with long and narrow fields of cultivated land, surrounded by rolling hills. In times of peace, there were also villages here. It's just that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and bandits were rampant, so that the villagers here could not bear the robbery of the bandits, and had to move to a dirt plain a few miles away.

The Japanese chose to build a base here because it overlooked the road down the mountain, and because it was adjacent to a large area of farmland, so they were not afraid of not being able to harvest food, and they could control the surrounding villages by controlling the land.

On a narrow ridge of raised earth on the west side of the road, the foundation of a turret is almost complete, and the surrounding land has been bulldozed to appear to be building barracks and warehouses for the garrison.

At the foot of the mountain, dozens of thick tree trunks have been simply processed into piles of wood, waiting to be carried to the earth.

Next to the wood, a large pile of stones is piled up like a hill, which is the main material for the devils to build a stronghold. Due to the lack of green bricks in the mountains, stone became the main material for construction.

After arriving at the location, the villagers were divided into several teams by the puppet army. Except for a dozen carpenters who worked as carpenters below, most of them became porters and began to carry stones and wood from the earth.

Zhao Shixun and Zhang Dapeng were newcomers, so they were naturally assigned to carry wood up the mountain.

In the sun, the two of them came to the timber pile, picked up a thigh-thick piece of timber and walked up the mountain.

Whew, while carrying the wood slowly towards the mountain, Zhao Shixun carefully observed the stronghold under construction.

As you go up the hill along the zigzag road, you will see a machine gun bunker composed of two sandbags, one on the left and one on the right, blocking the entrance to the top of the mountain.

The bunker on the left is garrisoned by two puppet soldiers, and on the right are two devil soldiers.

Not far from the bunker, there were several tents and a simple gazebo, and there was a simple kitchen next to it, and some food and vegetables were piled up nearby.

Where the smoke was rising, five or six old men in aprons were chopping something on the board, and a smell came from afar, as if they were cooking.

"What are you doing here, I smell that I'm hungry."

Zhang Dapeng turned his head slightly sideways and looked into the distance, and his saliva almost fell to the ground.
