Hearing this, Zhao Shixun's heart chuckled, and he didn't know what words to use to describe the pain.

In the darkness, he opened his mouth with a deep frown, but he didn't know what to say or what to order.

Looking at the courtyard where the villagers were being held not far away, Zhao Shixun's clenched fists clenched and gurgling.

He knew that in the face of the failure of the roundabout operation, the balance of victory tonight had tilted to the side of the Japanese puppet army, and irreversibly tilted to the other side. At this moment, there are only two options for his side, either to abandon the villagers immediately, or to die in 20 minutes due to the exhaustion of ammunition.

……

In a trance, Zhao Shixun's hand unconsciously touched the bag of dry food on his waist.

Maybe it was because he was in too chaotic mood, he subconsciously reached in, grabbed a handful of raw millet, and looked at the food that these fellow villagers had brought for him with their lives.

After a while, Zhao Shixun suddenly stuffed the raw millet into his mouth and chewed it like crazy.

The next moment, he swallowed the raw rice in his mouth hard, and turned his head to look at a villager beside him who had just participated in the Eighth Road:

"Brother, you go around the ruins on the north side of the alley, and inform the folks in the courtyard in front of you on the right, so that everyone can flee quickly.

Remember, be sure to crawl out of the house one by one, and then go around the house and climb over the wall behind the yard to go out into the mountain, so as not to alarm the devils. ”

Hearing this, the only man who survived the battle just now was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly got up and looked at everyone deeply, and silently turned around and ran into the darkness.

Hearing the decisiveness of Zhao Shixun's order, the remaining soldiers looked at the herald who was gradually running away, and they all fell silent.

It is clear to everyone what awaits them next.

A few minutes later, seeing a gray figure finally climb over the wall and enter the courtyard, Zhao Shixun's eyes flickered.

He knew that the final moment was coming. Calmly lit a cigarette, Zhao Shixun took out two box cannons in his hands, looked at several soldiers around him and said calmly:

"Brethren, the situation must be clear to everyone. Remember, the more minute we hold out, the more hope the villagers have of escaping.

Now I order, don't save ammo for a while, and give me a firm draw on the devil's attention. If the bullets run out and the villagers haven't finished withdrawing, follow me up and fight the devil puppet army with bayonets, do you understand?! ”

"Understood......!"

"Ready...... Beat! ”

……

……

In the compound where the villagers were hiding, listening to the breathless narration of the villagers who ran back, the lame old man and Hu Tian glanced at each other, their faces full of gloomy expressions.

Listening to the sound of gunfire like popping beans again, the lame old man turned his head unbearably.

"These eight roads really didn't say anything, all of them are men."

“…… Second master, then let's just leave? ”

Leaning against the wall, Hu Tian listened to the gunshots from across the alley, looking at the villagers who ran out one after another, his young face was full of unwillingness and loneliness.

Seeing that this kid actually sighed, the lame old man picked up his pipe and knocked it on the sole of his shoe, glancing at the other party.

"Boy, if you want to live long in this world, you have to hang up without caring about yourself. Listen to the sound of guns outside, we can't control it, and we can't control it. ”

Hearing this, he glanced at the old man, Hu Tian clenched the rifle in his hand, twisted his eyebrows and fell silent.

At this moment, a woman with a child on her back didn't know if she was sick, and suddenly fell while going out.

At this moment, the child on the woman's back, who was only more than a year old, immediately began to cry.

Wow wow cries came, and although they were covered by gunshots, the child's crying still caught the attention of the devil.

I found that some villagers ran into the yard, and a crooked handle and a few 38 big covers immediately called.

"Get down, get down!"

The man who was in charge of guiding the villagers to evacuate in an orderly manner in the courtyard saw this, shouted and hurriedly stepped forward to pounce on the woman holding the child.

Puff puff......

In the sound of the gunshot, as a rain of blood erupted, the man and the woman with the gun almost fell down together with a muffled grunt.

Seeing that both of them were shot and fell to the ground, a villager who had just crawled out was frightened, and subconsciously stood up and wanted to run back. However, it was good that he didn't stand up, and he immediately became the most obvious target under the reflection of the campfire.

……

In an instant, the lame old man who was sitting on the courtyard wall stared blankly at the three corpses in the courtyard, and the muscles on the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Little devil, I'll be your grandma!"

Seeing this, Hu Tian on the side roared and picked up his rifle and shot towards the opposite yard.

……

Under the firelight, listening to the heart-rending cries of the child on the back of the woman not far away, and then looking at the villagers who were shivering in the house, the lame old man's eyes suddenly opened, and then he broke the pipe that had been with him for more than ten years.

With a moment's rubbing, the figure of the lame old man rushed out like a ghost, and after a few rolls, it flashed directly to the dead woman's side.

Untying the crying child from the other's body, the old man stroked the child's cheek, then turned over and placed it at the door of the house.

Looking at the figure in the room, the old man shouted:

"Take the child into the house and hide, and no one will come out!"

The words were closed, and the lame old man glanced around, his gaze fixed on a large car located in the corner of the courtyard.

As soon as his hands were forced, the old man got up and ran towards the cart. In the darkness, the old man's figure was indescribably strange in the firelight, as if it was a jumping ghost.

Running to the cart in one breath, the lame old man untied the rope on his trouser leg, and the two big-eyed masturbators immediately fell out. Putting away the gun and sticking it in his waist, he lowered his head and grabbed the straw piled up in the corner, and kept loading it into the cart.

Bundle after bundle, and it didn't take long for the cart to be full.

……

"Little cub, hurry up and help the second master push the cart ......!"

Hearing the shout, Hu Tian fired a shot at the front yard again, and then picked up his rifle and ran all the way over.

Circling around the cart full of straw, Hu Tian grabbed the straw in his hand and looked at the old man with a puzzled face.

"Second master, this is all burning your butt, what are you doing with a car of straw?"

However, for Hu Tian's doubts, the lame old man didn't seem to want to explain more.

"Bunny, you'll find out in a moment. Hurry up and help the handle, and push this big car out of the yard for the second master! ”

"Huh? Launching a yard? …… Second master, don't be confused at this time, I haven't lived enough! ”

As soon as he heard that the cart was going to push out of the yard, Hu Tian immediately fell in place.

After a few steps forward, he touched the old man's forehead and muttered in his heart:

"I don't have a fever either, why did I start to be a demon......

was touched by Hu Tianyi's forehead, the old man suddenly became anxious, raised his hand and pulled the other party to his side.

"Bunny, help me push it! In the ink, believe it or not, the second master, I kicked you out of the yard. ”

“……”

Although it was still unclear why the lame old man did this, Hu Tian also knew that this was not the time to talk nonsense. Thinking of this, he didn't ask much, and then rolled up his sleeves and pushed the cart to the gate of the courtyard with the old man.

Squeak squeak......

The cart full of straw is gradually getting faster under the desperate impetus of the old and the young.

When he was about to reach the gate, Hu Tian ran over in advance, carefully opened the two gates inward, and then ran behind the cart again.

"Second Master...... Push harder and you're out! ”

……

With a grunt, the heavy cart was pushed onto the threshold, and then drove out of the yard with a grunt.

At this time, the battle between the Eighth Route Army in the alley and the Japanese puppet army in the courtyard was also at the last moment. As the ammunition on the Eighth Route side gradually ran out, many soldiers had begun to draw their bayonets, ready to start a white-knuckle battle at any time.

As for the Japanese puppet army, they gradually felt that they had the advantage, and there were already more than a dozen people in front of the gate on the north side of the courtyard, ready to rush out for a while to outflank the eight roads in the alley, and then completely annihilate the opponent to end this encounter.

However, just as the two sides were preparing for the final decisive battle, a cart full of straw suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the cart slowly moving out of the courtyard where the fellow was hiding, Zhao Shixun's eyes widened, and his face was full of incomprehension.

As for the Japanese puppet army, after seeing the cart being withdrawn, they immediately began to turn their guns and shoot at the cart.

Puff puff ......!

Feeling the devil shooting in this direction, the lame old man quickly stopped.

"Bunny, it's none of your business, go back to the yard!"

"Huh? What about you, Second Master? ”

"Huh...... I'm not in a hurry, I have to give the little devil some ....... ”

Hearing this, Hu Tian looked at the old man with a strange smile on his face, and suddenly faintly felt that something was wrong.

"No...... I'm not going back! ”

"It's for goods! Lao Tzu tells you to get out, you will get out, don't get in the way here! ”

"No...... I. ”

As soon as he was halfway through the words, Hu Tian found that he had two more big-eyed masturbation ...... on his head.

"Let's ......."

Looking at each other coldly, the lame old man changed his previous gentle attitude, and there was an irreversible momentum in his words.

Feeling that the old man was not joking with himself, Hu Tian stared at the other party's eyes that were impenetrable because of the cloudiness, and his dry throat shook violently a few times. After a few breaths, he slowly turned around and ran towards the courtyard without saying a word.

……

In the night breeze, watching the half-grown figure disappear from front of him, the lame old man's face twitched, and a trace of love flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, the old man with a straight face again picked up a kerosene lamp hanging under the cart, smashed it on the frame of the cart, and then sprinkled the little kerosene in it on the straw.

The next second, a lit fire was thrown into the kerosene-stained straw.

Whew.......

Almost in a moment's effort, the flying tongue of fire swallowed up a large amount of straw, and it didn't take long for the straw on the entire cart to start burning.
