A few days later, the Devils' winter sweep began.

Due to the lack of mobile troops, the devil's sweep is usually to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

That is to say, we should leave the most basic defensive forces in the occupied areas, relatively concentrate our forces as if cutting the flesh and mending the sores, and carry out some local offensive operations, so as to strive for a quick victory in a short period of time, and it is not possible to drag out the operation for a long time without the ability and impossibility.

Shen Chen didn't know how to counter-sweep the base area, or even the news of the sweep, and he couldn't take care of it if he knew.

However, the weakness of the enemy's defensive forces and the sparse allocation of troops still made him aware of it.

Of course, he received the money for the puppet army's life, and just in case, he didn't eat the salt and food for the time being, and was trying to find a living creature to test the poison. It's not difficult to say, as long as you catch a pheasant or hare, it's solved.

Although he spared the puppet army at the sentry post for the time being, Shen Chen also got a benefit, not only money and materials, but also the convenience of sneaking by the sentry post.

And the puppet army who paid for his life and was afraid of being killed again really went through the motions for the sentry patrol, and turned a blind eye to the wind and grass.

Therefore, although Shen Chen still tried to sneak in and out covertly, after two successful times, he was more courageous and sneaked faster.

With such convenience and speed, Shen Chen set his sights on the devil, to be precise, the devil's communication soldier.

As soon as nightfall, Shen Chen sneaked past this furnishing-like sentry post and followed the explored road to the side of the avenue.

Seeing that there was no one around, he climbed onto the telephone pole, clicked twice, cut the telephone line, and then slipped out and hid in ambush.

As the night deepened, the cold air seemed to become something palpable, frozen, motionless, biting and penetrating. There are a few stars in the sky, and it seems that they are also frozen so that they can't blink.

Shen Chen wrapped his clothes tightly, rubbing, kneading, and moving his hands in the sleeve cage made of fur, keeping his fingers flexible. The eyes are half-open and half-closed, as if they are recuperating and listening.

Quiet but ominous, this is the night in the enemy-occupied area, and even in the middle of nowhere, it seems that it can feel the oppression and dreinfulness.

As minutes and seconds passed, Shen Chen let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

The sound of motorcycles, at first inaudible, then clearer and closer.

Taking a deep breath, the cold air made Shen Chen feel uplifted. Slowly pushing out the gun, he gently pulled the bolt to make sure that the gun was not affected by the cold, and then lowered his head and aimed at the avenue where the enemy was about to appear.

The sound of the motor went from far to near, from small to large, and a three-wheeled sidecar motorcycle appeared in Shen Chen's field of vision.

A small plaster flag was attached to the sidecar motorcycle, a driver with goggles, and a communications soldier with a phone box were huddled in the sidecar.

The car was not driving very fast, and the devil was carefully observing the telephone pole on the side of the road, searching for the place where it was malfunctioning.

The devil noticed the severed telephone line, the speed of the motorcycle slowed down, and the devil in the car began to look around vigilantly.

"Smack!" The gunshots rang out suddenly, and at the moment when the devil's motorcycle stopped, bullets shot out and drilled into the sidecar and the devil who had just half-straightened up in the sidecar.

The devil's body shook as if he had been punched, and he rolled off the motorcycle.

Shen Chen quickly pulled the bolt, pushed the bullet, and calmly aimed again.

"Smack!" The bullet came out of the chamber again.

The devil driver on the motorcycle was obviously not as convenient as getting out of the sidecar, and he landed on one foot, and the other leg had just been pumped off the saddle, and the bullet had already hit him in the chest. He fell to the ground diagonally in a strange position, one leg still resting on the motorcycle.

Shen Chen lifted his camouflage and ran diagonally through the trees and dead grass, running briskly and freely, heading straight for the devil's motorcycle.

……………

The oil lamp emitted a faint light that shone on the three people in the hut, and the room was filled with smoke and a choking smell of smoke.

"If you want to transfer back the enemy who swept along the way, I'm afraid it won't work if the noise is small." Lao Zhou was smoking a cigarette and frowning, "But if you want to take down a turret or something, we don't have that power." ”

"Yes! With only the two guns that I and the pillar smuggled in, it was impossible to take down the turret. Zhao Tie was also very depressed, "But it's cold, and the soldiers and civilians in the base area can't hold out long in the field, so we must find a way to transfer the enemy back." ”

No one spoke in the room for a long time, Lao Zhou thought about it for a long time, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "The ash bridge outside the mine was blown up, and the coal can't be transported, see if the devil is in a hurry?" ”

Zhao Tie raised his head suddenly, looked at Lao Zhou, blinked slowly, and asked, "Want to blow up the ash bridge?" You have to have explosives, I'm afraid you can't do earth gunpowder, right? ”

"There is explosives in the mine, and it is used to hit stone gates." Lao Zhou paused and said, "Although the supervision is very strict, it is not impossible. I'll try to find a few people, and if I can steal it, then blow up the bridge; If we can't get the explosives, let's think of another trick. ”

"But be safe, don't let the enemy find out." Zhao Tie advised: "You have no one to replace in the mine, and you will play a greater role in the future." ”

"Don't worry, I've got it." Lao Zhou smiled gratefully, reached out and patted Zhao Tie's shoulder to show comfort.

"On my way here today, the enemy's investigation is tight again." Zhao Tie shook his head lightly and said, "I heard that the gunman in the mountain forest ran out again, cut the telephone line, and killed two devils who went to answer the phone line. ”

"It's good to kill devils, but this brainless mess has caused trouble for our actions." Lao Zhou thought for a while and said, "It would be nice if I could pull the line, maybe I can get it!" ”

"I thought so too, but I couldn't find a way!" Zhao Tie smiled bitterly, "No one knows his details, not even anyone who has seen him." It's just that I know from the inside line in the puppet army that he has good marksmanship, one shot at a time, and never shoots empty guns. ”

"If you have good marksmanship, then you may be from Orion, or maybe you used to be a beard?" Lao Zhou guessed, but he had no clue, so he had to shake his head again and again, "This matter can only be put aside for a while, let's finish the work in front of us first." ”

"That's all there is to it." Zhao Tie spread his hands helplessly, "The guard of the ash bridge is very strict, I'll go to reconnoiter at night, and as soon as the explosives are in hand, we'll do a guy." ”

…………………

It's stopped, it's really going to stop.

Shen Chen is not lying down, lying is not lying down, to be precise, curled up.

To be honest, it turned out to be sick, which made Shen Chen a little frightened. It's not that I'm sick to death, but I haven't experienced it since I was reborn, and I feel very uncomfortable, unhappy, and irritable.

Fortunately, it has not reached the point of being bedridden, but fortunately, I have saved firewood in normal times, and fortunately, I can still take care of myself.

It took three days in a row for the uncomfortable energy to pass; On the fourth day he was much more energetic; On the fifth and sixth days, Shen Chen felt that he had returned to normal.

The body's self-healing ability is really strong! Shen Chen exhaled softly, picked up the iron lunch box, and drank the broth.

Although he eats much better than the kiln house, and although he is free, after experiencing this, he is a little homesick.

I miss Xiaohua's crisp laughter, my uncle's care, Erdan's eyes, and Erniu's dusty maltose...... I even miss the hot kang in the humble house.

When people are lonely, they are always nostalgic and taste all kinds of things, and at this time, they will always think of the stories of the past, and the mood will drop to the freezing point.

And sad, lingering memories will fill the whole heart. So, sad for his sorrow and sad for his feelings!

If loneliness is a rare state of mind, only when you have a lonely person can you have your true self, and you can generate inspiration and creativity, as well as shining thoughts.

That Shen Chen obviously can't reach that realm, he is not a thinker, an inventor, and the pleasure of solitude is not something he can enjoy for a long time.

In the noisy and depressing world, it may take a period of loneliness, but after a long period of loneliness, it will need a kind of liveliness and care from relatives and friends in the vulgar world.

It's time to go back and check it out! Shen Chen suddenly felt that the broth was also light and tasteless, he slowly put down the lunch box and got up to clean it up.

……………

In the winter sky, the sun seems to have lost its temperature and brightness, and has become gray.

The earth was covered with ice and snow, dry and hard, creaking under Shen Chen's feet.

After discovering the path where Lao Zhou and others smuggled the copper moraine, it became very convenient to return to the kiln house, except for the trek in the mountains and forests and the long distance, but it avoided a lot of checks and sentry posts.

Walking through the outer village, Shen Chen looked at it seemingly casually, it was already past the time to go to work, and the outer village seemed deserted, and there were almost no people in sight.

Walking through the small dirt mountain in the north of the village, seeing that there was no one around, Shen Chen got into the woods and hid the pistol.

Although it is not carried with you, it is always a means of prevention, and it also gives you a little confidence in your heart.

After entering the village and walking through the T-shaped street, Shen Chen did not deliberately look for the second girl who sold sugar, nor did he go to buy anything, but walked directly to his home.

The winter was cold, and none of those who repaired shoes, repaired lamps, and sold rags came out to do business, and there were few people on the streets, and no one even paid attention to Shen Chen, who was wearing a three-piece tile hat, with a face painted with charcoal black, and deliberately walked with his head down.

The house is broken, it is still the same as before, but the roof is covered with snow and has not been cleaned up, it is estimated that it is not too thick, so you don't have to worry about the roof being crushed.

Skillfully, he put his hand through the hole in the door, opened the latch, and Shen Chen pushed the door into the courtyard.

"Who?" There was a crisp child's voice in the house, and as soon as the door opened, Xiaohua walked out, and was stunned when she looked at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen smiled, showed his white teeth, and said, "Don't you recognize it?" I'm your sister. As he spoke, he reached out and took off his hat, and his ponytail hair fell.

"Sister, Sister Da Mei." Xiaohua jumped up happily, stepped forward and took Shen Chen's hand and dragged it into the house.

After entering the house, Shen Chen put down the basket he was carrying, took a look, and asked very strangely: "What about people, why are you and the stinky man at home?" ”

"Daddy is thinking about you, my mother and Brother Erdan went to Liucun early in the morning with the charcoal they picked up, see if I can inquire about you." Xiaohua pushed Da Mei to sit down on the hot kang, and the stinky man screamed and crawled over this way.

Shen Chen's heart was filled with a warm warmth, he reached out and touched the stinky man's head, and asked casually, "What about Uncle I?" Sick and able to walk around? ”

"Dad's illness is almost better, I want to make tofu to sell, and go out to buy beans." Xiaohua poured a bowl of hot water for Shen Chen, and asked with some expectation, "Sister, can you stay a little longer when you come back this time?" ”

Shen Chen didn't make up his mind, but seeing that Xiaohua's face was missing a lot of vegetables, he was happy in his heart, nodded lightly, and said, "Maybe you will stay for a few days, you can burn the kang in that house, I will definitely not leave tonight." ”

"Wow, wow!" Xiaohua smiled happily, ran to the stove, opened a plug board, and added two more shovels of coal.

One stove burns two kangs, and if you want to burn whichever one is hot, you can open the plug board that runs away from the smoke, which is very convenient. There are also people who put plug boards on the openings of the fire wall and the fire kang, and let it heat wherever they want.

Shen Chen took off his old clothes outside, washed his face, and felt very comfortable sitting on the hot kang, so he couldn't help but lie down on his back, branded his whole body, and hummed twice comfortably.

"Sister, you have a good rest, I don't let the stinky person make trouble." Xiaohua sensibly took away the stinky man who was about to crawl on Shen Chen.

Uh-huh! Shen Chen agreed, stretched out his hand and pulled a quilt over his body, and closed his eyes.

Rest assured and relaxed, as soon as the strength on the body is relaxed, sleepiness will involuntarily attack.

……………

Unknowingly, Da Mei has been out for almost two months, and looking like this, it doesn't look like she has been wronged.

Sun Hongshan, who came back from buying beans, sat on the edge of the kang and looked at his sleeping niece from time to time. When it grows up, it looks good, or rather, it grows and looks better.

It's just that Sun Hongshan has some other worries, but he doesn't know how to speak. After all, that kind of worry about going the wrong way is a very humiliating thing for a big girl.

Alas, thinking about it, Sun Hongshan sighed silently, took out the cigarette bag and shook his head, and put it back.

He got up slowly, slowed his steps, went to the next room and touched the kang, looked around again, picked up the broom and cleaned it.

This big sleep is really home, without the precautions and vigilance of sleeping in the cave, when Shen Chen opened his eyes, the sun was already setting in the west.

The aunt and Erdan are back, of course, there is nothing to gain.

A large family, along with the stinky son, were in the room next to them, for fear of waking up Shen Chen, who was sleeping sweetly. Just creep over from time to time to take a look and add some coal to the stove.

As soon as Shen Chen woke up, the family gathered together again, and the silence in the room was broken, talking and chatting, and they were alive again.

"Let's eat dumplings at night!" After talking for a while, Shen Chen walked to the door and took away the burden on the back basket, and under it were a few catties of white flour and two pieces of venison that had been somewhat thawed in the house.

Shen Chen didn't bring many things, one was for the convenience of traveling, and the other was because he had money on him, so he could naturally buy them nearby.
