After everyone left, Yang Chenghu looked at Jiang Hongfei, who was standing in the courtyard without saying a word, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

"What, political commissar, you're still not at ease?"

As an old man beside Jiang Hongfei, Yang Chenghu didn't need to ask to know what it meant for the political commissar to stay with him.

Hearing that he didn't speak, Jiang Hongfei silently took the cigarette, and then took out a match from his pocket with a gloomy face.

After paddling lightly and lighting Yang Chenghu and himself respectively, Jiang Hongfei took a deep breath and spit out a thick white smoke.

"These people brought back by Xu Guofeng, you go down and send people to screen them, especially those he brought back along the way, you have to screen them one by one!"

"What if there are people from the division?"

"If the other party says that it is from the division headquarters, then let Director Liu send someone to come and screen it in person.

Also, don't let those people leave the village before and after the screening is done, not a single one. ”

……

"Hmm...... I understand. ”

Hearing this, Yang Chenghu nodded silently, then snuffed out the cigarette and walked out of the yard.

Back at the station of the special agent battalion, Yang Chenghu asked people to find his battalion deputy Xie Gouzi.

"Battalion commander, you're looking for me."

As soon as he hurriedly entered the house, Xie Gouzi immediately picked up the cigarette case on the table and unceremoniously took out one and lit it.

Not caring that the other party took advantage of him, Yang Chenghu continued to look at the map on the table and asked.

"I heard that the water in Xixiao River rose again last night, what is happening now?"

"It's the same as last year, the river is several meters wider, and it's enough to wade through the water. As you instructed, I set up the pontoon bridge in the morning.

However, I was afraid that the telephone line would be broken by the river, so I moved the telephone connected to Dushikou to the other side of the river. ”

"Well, that's right."

Hearing this, Yang Chenghu nodded with satisfaction.

The Xixiao River, which flows through this generation, is a seasonal river located to the east of Nanyang Village.

It is a branch of the Ze River, originating from Baihualing in Tuwo Township, Qinxian County, from northwest to southeast, along the valley winding and finally flowing into Qinshui.

For most of the year, the Xixiao River is nothing more than a stream that comes and goes, and the river is usually no more than a few meters wide, and it can touch a person's knee even if it is held to death. However, in the summer of each year, the water level of the Xixiao River will start to rise sharply due to the frequent rains in southern Jinnan.

Around the summer solstice, the river has swelled to a width of more than 20 meters, and a small stream has become a natural barrier.

"By the way, how are the mines in the monolithic mouth planted?"

After learning that the pontoon bridge was built, Yang Chenghu's eyes fell on the monolith mouth of the main road leading to Yangcheng and Qinshui.

"You can rest assured of this, except for some of the more than 20 spare, our inventory is basically buried there. I guess that if the devil really wants to come from the mouth of the monolith, it is impossible not to peel off the skin.

There are also surrounding villages, I also asked Hu Tianquan to send someone to inform them, and no one can go through without roads. ”

Hearing this, Yang Chenghu nodded and paced back and forth in the room with his head down. After repeatedly analyzing his defensive arrangement in his mind, he looked at Xie Gouzi and said seriously.

"The political commissar has assigned me a task, and I probably won't be able to leave the village for the next few days.

For the sake of safety, you should now at once personally take a company to the pontoon bridge and repair the fortifications first. ”

"Uh......, battalion commander, are you too worried, we have put a company in Dushikou, so there is no need to send people to watch the pontoon bridge, right?"

Hearing that Yang Chenghu wanted him to lead someone to guard the pontoon bridge, Xie Gouzi didn't quite understand what the other party meant.

"If you want to go, where is so much nonsense."

“……”

Seeing that Yang Chenghu seemed to be in a bad mood, Xie Gouzi didn't say much, and then grabbed the gun and walked out of the house.

After Xie Gouzi left, Yang Chenghu always felt that his eyelids were jumping badly. After much thought, he called the communications platoon and asked them to take a few people to set up telephones ten miles along the upper and lower reaches of the Xixiao River, and to send people to set up a guard post.

……

And just when Yang Chenghu was busy arranging the vigilance force, the two Japanese army teams also completed the convergence at the new stronghold of the Japanese army in Tuwo Township, which was dozens of miles away.

Holding the command knife tightly, looking at Kuramoto, who was dressed as the Eighth Route Army, and more than a hundred members of his team, Okazaki Shaozo couldn't believe his eyes.

Not long ago, after learning that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had been discovered in Tuwo Township, he immediately personally led two infantry squads and an ammunition detachment and rushed to Misawa where the Eighth Route Army troops had been discovered.

Like other Japanese officers, Okazaki knew very little about this mysterious advance team, only that they were the troops that the division commander relied on very much.

"Huh...... Dissatisfied with Okazaki Shaosa, when I saw Kuramoto-kun for the first time, I also thought I was wrong. They are really imitating too much like the dirt eight roads. ”

Misawa saw Okazaki's shocked look from beginning to end, and immediately showed a secretly snickering expression.

And after hearing Misawa's words, Okazaki also nodded thoughtfully.

"No wonder you've been able to track down the main force of the Dirt Eight Road...... It seems that the co-captain is really not bragging.

Alas...... If only the staff could see how you fight. They seem to be more willing to trust the Air Force's reconnaissance than your intelligence. ”

Looking at Kuramoto and his teammates, Okazaki sighed helplessly.

"Originally, the division commander planned to send a wing to cooperate with your actions. However, since the General Staff judged that most of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were going north, the division commander could only shoot me here to help you. ”

Hearing the helplessness in Okazaki's words, Kuramoto did not show the slightest discouragement.

"Huh...... Please rest assured, Okazaki Shaosa, we can then slap those nerds in the face with practical actions. ”

……

After getting the ammunition supply, Kuramoto immediately led the troops to follow the code left by Xu Guofeng, all the way to the direction of Nanyang Village.

Soon, when approaching the monolith, Misawa, who had suffered a loss here, also informed Okazaki Shaosa of the situation here.

Knowing that the terrain ahead was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and that it was likely to encounter eight roads, Okazaki immediately stopped the team, and at the same time sent someone to inform the Koizumi advance team that was parallel in the distance.

After receiving the news, Kuramoto also attached great importance to it, and after letting Okazaki and them hide on the spot, he himself led the team into a small nearby village to prepare to learn about the situation in Dushikou on the spot.

……

In the afternoon, when they saw dozens of Eighth Route Army troops entering the village, the people at the entrance of the village were surprised and immediately greeted each other enthusiastically.

"Comrade Eighth Road, why are you free to come to us today?"

Hearing this, he glanced at Kuramoto beside him, and after Nie Yunshan got permission, he stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Huh...... I'm afraid that there will be devils and traitors mixed in, so let's go around in this generation. ”

Hearing Nie Yunshan say this, a middle-aged man immediately waved his hand.

"Don't worry, comrade, in this generation, they are all small villages, and even the second dog usually does not hesitate to come. Besides, last time you scared all the devils in Tuwo Township, and they even withdrew their strongholds to the west for several miles. ”

Hearing this, he smiled awkwardly, Nie Yunshan's eyes flashed, and he changed the topic and continued to ask:

"This old man, have you seen any strangers going to Dushikou these days?"

"Monolithus?"

"Hmm."

"Hi...... Not many people walked that road before, and now that you have buried mines, no one dares to walk it. ”

"Bury ...... Ahem...... Ahem, ahem. ”

Hearing the last few words, Nie Yunshan didn't catch his breath in shock, and immediately coughed heavily.

And just as Nie Yunshan ended the conversation, Kuramoto behind him suddenly walked over.

Looking at the few villagers in front of him, Kuramoto asked with a straight face and slowed down his speech as much as possible:

"Fellow, do you know of any other way around the monolith?"

When Kuramoto suddenly asked this, several villagers immediately showed puzzled expressions.

"Other ways, it depends on where you're going?"

"To the west, go to Nanyang Village for a generation."

Hearing this, several villagers shook their heads one after another.

"If you go to Nanyang Village, you must pass through Dushikou, how can there be any other way. Unless you're not afraid of far, you may be able to go around seventy or eighty miles, but that's not enough to eat. ”

Hearing this, Kuramoto's face sank, and Kuramoto opened his mouth, as if he wanted to continue to explain something. However, because he was afraid of saying the wrong thing because of his unfamiliarity with Chinese, he was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say.

……

After more than ten seconds passed, he saw that Kuramoto beside him was blushing and his neck was thick. Nie Yunshan, who understood the excess, hurriedly interjected and said:

"Fellow, we mean that there is no kind of path around here that can sneak over the mountains, that is, the kind of mountain path that can be used by devils, understand?"

Hearing Nie Yunshan say this, a villager suddenly realized.

"Hey...... You said earlier, I thought you were looking for other roads.

I'm telling you, it's the right time for you to come to our village today. This is the sheep intestine path that crosses the monolith, and I really know one. ”

"Lao Feng, don't talk nonsense in front of Comrade Balu. Within a radius of dozens of miles, how can there be a second way to the west? ”

When the villagers next to him heard this, they immediately ridiculed the middle-aged man with a look of disbelief, thinking that the other party was talking nonsense.

However, in the face of the doubts of his fellow villagers, the middle-aged man surnamed Feng did not flinch in the slightest.

"Cut...... You guys know a fart, I don't know what I'm doing when I'm hunting in the mountains. ”

After a few words of encouragement, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Nie Yunshan excitedly, and then slapped his chest with a shocking sound.

"Comrade Balu, as long as you are willing to believe me, I promise to take you over this mountain within three hours and see the Xixiao River!"
