Three twenty in the morning.

Looking up at the fading darkness in the east, Hu Tian held the kettle high until the last drop of water fell into his mouth.

Putting down the empty kettle and raising his almost numb arm, he once again pulled a basket of dirt out of the cellar and tossed it aside. And right next to him, a basket of excavated dirt had filled the ground near the mouth of the cellar.

At this moment, two figures deftly climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and then the cat trotted all the way over.

Before he got closer, Zhao Shixun's voice reached Hu Tian's ears.

"How's it going, have you dug it through?"

Hearing this, he shook his head awkwardly, and Hu Tian's face turned red and he picked up a basket of dirt again, and pulled it up with difficulty.

In the next second, Hu Tian only felt that his hand was loose, and the heavy bamboo basket was finally carried up.

"Old ghost, you pull Hu Tian for a while, and I'll go down to see the progress."

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun went straight down to the cellar along the ladder that stretched out of the cellar.

As soon as he entered the cellar, a mixture of earthy smell and sweat smell came to his nose, which made Zhao Shixun's brows tighten. When the two soldiers below saw Zhao Shixun coming down, they immediately put down the tools in their hands and held on to the shaking ladder.

"Detachment leader, this is uneven, you must step on it steadily."

After Wen Yan waved his hand to signal that he was fine, Zhao Shixun went down to the ground steadily, and then handed the kettle on his body to the two.

"Drink some water, I'll take a look inside."

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun walked around a mound of earth with his hands and feet, and walked along the narrow gap towards the west side of the cellar.

A few seconds later, under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, a hole that could only accommodate one person appeared on the wall in front of Zhao Shixun. At the same time, he also saw a warrior covered in mud pushing a bamboo basket and struggling to get out of the hole.

Without speaking, Zhao Shixun leaned into the cave and pulled out the bamboo basket full of dirt.

Throwing the contents into the mound of dirt beside him, Zhao Shixun hurriedly pulled out the tired and almost collapsed warrior.

"Haven't dug the cellar in the yard next door?"

"Huhu...... Not...... It should be about the same, but it still can't be dug up. ”

With a heavy gasp, the tired and almost prostrated warrior sat down on the mound of dirt beside him and said with a tired face.

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun patted the other party's shoulder with a frown, and then picked up the bamboo basket and planned to go into the hole.

"Detachment Leader...... We are actually not tired, but we are too suffocated here, and after working for a while, people will have no strength....... ”

Hearing this, his body stiffened, and Zhao Shixun immediately realized that the problem was grandma's, there was not enough air inside!

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun took off his coat and threw it to the soldiers beside him.

"You don't have to come in, just go find a stick to prop up your clothes and fan me into the hole. There is also to ask Hu Tian and the old ghost to make the cellar mouth bigger and let the air circulate. ”

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun pushed the empty bamboo basket and climbed into the dug hole.

More than two hours ago, after Zhao Shixun refused the suggestion of the old ghost to lead people to attack, he agreed to Hu Tian's ghost idea for the first time to dig through the cellar between the two courtyards, and then give the Japanese puppet army a hard time from the courtyard.

It turned out that the courtyard where the puppet army was located and the yard where the devils were once stationed had a cellar, and the location was located under the east wall and the west wall of the two courtyards respectively, and there was a ** meter wide alley in the middle.

According to Hu Tian's idea, as long as everyone could dig the cellar in the opposite courtyard before dawn, then everyone would be able to shorten the distance of the attack to the point of almost touching their faces!

If the sneak attack is done properly, it can definitely have an unexpected effect.

However, this is not without drawbacks, that is, time is not on Zhao Shixun's side. That is to say, if they can't dig to the opposite side and launch an attack within three and a half hours, then it will be Zhao Shixun and them who will run away by dawn.

Therefore, after adopting Hu Tian's suggestion, Zhao Shixun immediately divided the team into two.

In the team of thirteen people, except for the old ghost Zhao Shixun and a soldier who were responsible for constantly making movements on the outside line and attracting the attention of the Japanese puppet army, the rest of the people went down to the cellar and kept digging towards the courtyard next door in batches.

……

After climbing forward for nearly ten meters with a half-squatting body, Zhao Shixun finally saw three fighters digging in different directions.

"How's it going, haven't dug the cellar on the other side yet?"

Hearing this, he put down the tools in his hands tiredly, and the three almost shirtless warriors shook their heads helplessly.

"It's really weird, we keep digging again, but we can't dig through!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun leaned over to look at the three dirt walls, and after pondering for a while, he directly pressed his face against the wall.

In the next second, his right hand clenched into a fist, constantly tapping on the dirt next to his ear. In this way, after knocking along the three dirt walls all the time, Zhao Shixun suddenly raised his head, took a shovel and said:

"That's it, dig it for me!"

……

Ten minutes later, with a muffled pop, the shovel in Zhao Shixun's hand suddenly sank into the dirt.

"It's here! Got it! ”

Seeing this, a soldier couldn't help but almost cry with joy, nearly three hours of non-stop digging in such a small and stuffy space, so that several people were already exhausted, and they didn't give up by relying on a perseverance to hold on.

After Zhao Shixun expanded the entrance of the cave to the size of one person, he was the first to lean out and drill through.

Puff ...... Struggling from the hole and falling into the unfamiliar cellar, Zhao Shixun Gu's eyes suddenly fell into darkness.

"Detachment leader, give you the devil's flashlight......."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dim kerosene lamp was thrown into the cellar, and the golden light instantly filled the darkness.

Carefully picking up the kerosene lamp on the ground and holding it above his head, Zhao Shixun looked around, and finally found the exit of the cellar.

Walking a few meters up the wooden ladder, Zhao Shixun pushed open a gap with one hand the wooden plank covering the exit.

In an instant, as a stream of cool air poured into the ground, Zhao Shixun hurriedly opened his mouth desperately and breathed greedily.

"Huhu...... Suffocate me....... ”

……

A few minutes later.

In the cellar filled with kerosene lights, Zhao Shixun finally checked the box cannon in his hand, and then looked at Hu Tian and the five people beside him and said:

"I'll go up in a moment, and you'll come out when you hear my signal. Remember, come up one by one! ”

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun gently pushed open the wooden plank on the exit of the cellar and carefully stepped on the ladder to climb up.

Half of his body was exposed, and he squinted to adjust to the darkness around him, while raising his gun to observe the surroundings.

At this moment, perhaps tired of being tossed by Zhao Shixun and them, the Japanese puppet army in the house seemed to have evaporated from the world, and it was surprisingly quiet for the first time.

After a while, after confirming his safety, Zhao Shixun used his hands to prop himself up and drill out of the hole, and then began to climb through the house where the Japanese puppet army was hiding.

At this moment, gunshots suddenly rang out outside the north gate of the courtyard, and several bullets passed through the open gate and hit the walls of the house.

In an instant, the frightened Japanese puppet army in the house immediately began to return fire.

Da Da Da ...... Bang bang

Dense bullets shot out of windows and even doors, smashing the walls of the black courtyard with a loud bang.

Regarding the harassment of the Eighth Route Army outside the hospital, although the devils and the puppet army gritted their teeth with hatred, they did not dare to ignore it in the slightest.

And just when the Japanese puppet army was fighting, Zhao Shixun took advantage of the fact that the attention of the people in the house was at the gate, and accelerated to climb across the yard and came to the house.

Standing up with his back against the wall, Cho looked at the flame-spewing window a few steps away, and pulled out a captured wooden-handled grenade from his waist.

Unscrewing the lid, he leaned against the wall, slowly moving his body forward.

Not long after, Zhao Shixun stopped by a window.

Bang......

A three-eight covered barrel poked out of the window, and after shooting, it shrank back in front of Zhao Shixun's eyes.

The next moment, several Japanese voices came into Zhao Shixun's ears, as if he was saying that it was almost dawn or something.

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun's face sank, and he raised the grenade with a cruel smile.

After biting off the lead and silently counting the three numbers, Zhao Shixun shook his hand and threw it along the window.

"Yaga...... Something flew in! ”

Rumble......!

In the Japanese exclamation, accompanied by a slight tremor of the whole house, a thick smoke rolled up the two devils and flew out of the window and landed beside Zhao Shixun.

However, the next moment, Zhao Shixun's originally relaxed face suddenly turned sideways, and he almost scolded on the spot. It turned out that this Republic-made grenade seized from the puppet army was actually a shoddy rag.

Under such a close explosion, this grenade was stunned and failed to kill the two devils on the spot, but only blew them out of the window!

Seeing that the two wounded Japanese soldiers were struggling to stand up, Zhao Shixun could only secretly scold your grandmother, and then decisively pulled out the bayonet on his waist and gritted his teeth and rushed forward. There is no way, if he shoots and alarms the Japanese puppet army in the house, the meaning of this sneak attack will be gone.

Poof......

While stabbing a knife into the neck of a ghost soldier who had just gotten up, Zhao Shixun raised his foot and kicked another injured devil to the ground.

However, just as Zhao Shixun suddenly pulled out his bayonet and was about to kill another devil, the Japanese soldier who was fatally wounded and fell to the ground suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged Zhao Shixun's legs.

At this moment, Zhao Shixun, who was caught off guard, immediately lost his center of gravity, and immediately fell straight down.

And the devil who was kicked over by Zhao Shixun before immediately howled and pounced after discovering that the attacker had fallen.

For a while, Zhao Shixun's legs were held by a devil and couldn't move, while his hands were desperately pulling with another devil.

During the struggle, the wounded soldiers who hugged Zhao Shixun's legs gradually lost their physical strength. Inevitably, he was broken free by the enemy, so he simply opened his mouth and bit Zhao Shixun's thigh fiercely!

"What the ......"

Under the severe pain, Zhao Shixun's face suddenly turned purple.

And as the fight between the three became more and more intense, the Japanese puppet army in the house was finally alarmed. As he spoke, the two puppet soldiers walked out of the room with their guns in hand.

To be continued, thanks to the support of book friends, Hanhai will try to persevere!!
