Chapter 45: Return, Confession

With experience in Shanghai, if he practiced a little, Shen Chen felt that if he used a box gun within 100 meters and shot against his shoulder, he could also be eight or nine.

In fact, he was not the only one who thought like Shen Chen.

In the later stage of the Anti-Japanese War, many members of the armed arts carried two "box guns", one with a wooden holster for long-distance accurate shooting, and the other smoothed the crosshair and inserted it into the belt to facilitate rapid gun shooting.

The barge gun is not only transformed into a submachine gun when it is equipped with a holster or a folding stock, but also improves the accuracy of shooting, reducing the dispersion surface by at least half and increasing the firing range.

But for Shen Chen, the sharpest thing is rifle sniping; The pistol on the thigh is just for self-defense, and its small size does not affect the movement.

But if you have to carry a box cannon on your back, crawl and roll, and move quickly, it has become a luxury. Of course, Shen Chen can carry it on his back first, put it next to him when he fights, and use it when he needs it.

But this is enough tossing and troublesome enough.

Shen Chen thought about it, but decided not to take it with him for the time being.

He didn't want it, but Erhuzi and Yu Baogen were treated as treasures, you carried it for a while and fiddled with it a few times; I'll carry it for a while, and it's rare to play with it.

"Hey, hey!" Shen Chen held his pistol so that he could watch the prisoners, and rolled his eyes at the two of them for their unscrupulous work, "It's better to concentrate a little bit." The one who should lead the way, the one who should be detained, don't be negligent. ”

Yu Baogen and Erhuzi immediately got serious, shouting and beating the captives, how could they be pretending.

Shen Chen only reminded him that he would be fine if he took care of these captives alone.

If any of the captives bullied him for being a woman and tried to escape, he would be blind. He is more ruthless than Erhuzi and Yu Baogen, who look strong on the outside, and if he wants to run, he can only be knocked down by a shot.

Fortunately, the captives were honest, probably frightened, or there were few people, and they were safe and sound along the way anyway.

It wasn't until midnight that the group finally returned to Zhangzhuang.

Several captives were taken into the village and stopped in the courtyard of the ancestral hall. Immediately he fell to the ground as if he had fallen apart. I walked non-stop for hours, still carrying things on my back, but I didn't dare to cry out that I was tired.

Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou, as well as several team members who were woken up, all ran out to see the excitement.

Boy! More than a dozen guns, both long and short, as well as ammunition, cotton clothes, suede shoes...... Even caught three alive.

"Another victory!" Lao Zhou smiled heartily and said: "This movement must have caused a lot of trouble, I'm tired, hurry up and rest." Reconnaissance mission, I'll talk about it later. ”

Lao Zhou's judgment was quite correct, the reconnaissance turned into a battle, and he came back earlier than the scheduled time, probably because he did not complete the task.

It's nothing, though. Compared to the gains from the battle, it seems that Shen Chen's credit is greater.

Erhuzi was straightforward, and when Lao Zhou said this, he felt that he really didn't complete the task, and hurriedly promised: "Tomorrow, we will go again tomorrow, and we will definitely complete the reconnaissance mission." ”

Shen Chen took a look at this guy, his IQ is really not high!

Zhao Tie waved his hand and said with a smile: "No hurry." If you want to complete the task, you must first rest well and recuperate. Big, this Xiaochen, you go to Wei Chun'er's house to sleep. Tomorrow, you don't have to wake up early and don't have to go to the morning training. ”

Shen Chen pursed his lips and smiled, "Who said we didn't complete the reconnaissance mission?" ”

Erhuzi was stunned, glanced at Lin Baogen, who was also a little confused, and said hesitantly: "We met the enemy halfway, and we didn't even get close to Zuwang's side......"

Shen Chen stretched out his finger and pointed to the grass hut where the prisoners were held, and said, "What is the situation with Zu Wang, just ask them." ”

Lao Zhou blinked, suddenly realized, laughed, and said, "So that's the case." You girl, you have a lot of ghosts. Well, this way of scouting is really good. ”

What's new about scratching the "tongue"?

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders, covered his mouth and yawned, and said, "I'll go back to sleep, you will interrogate first." If they don't come out, I'll clean them up tomorrow. Tiger chair, chili water, leather whip, soldering iron, I think which bastard dares not to tell the truth? ”

Zhao Tie frowned when he heard this, this girl didn't learn anything from the beard master, this is what a girl should say? Like a bandit.

"Go, go, get some rest." Zhao Tie felt that now was not the time to talk about this, so he waved his hand and urged Shen Chen to leave quickly.

Shen Chen waved his hand, which was a response, and left on his own.

When he came to Wei Chun'er's house, Shen Chen hesitated in front of the courtyard gate. It's the middle of the night, isn't knocking on the door and calling someone a little bit to affect other people's rest?

Hesitating, hesitating, Shen Chen tried to push the door of the lower courtyard. Unexpectedly, the dilapidated courtyard door creaked open, and it was not latched from the inside.

Shen Chen entered the courtyard lightly, came to the door, stretched out his hand and tried to push again. This time it didn't push, the two girls slept in it, and they had to be precautionary.

After thinking for a while, Shen Chen turned to the window and tapped lightly.

Soon there was a sound in the room, and Chang Chunling's voice was not very loud and asked, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Xiaochen." Shen Chen replied in a low voice.

"Ah, wait a minute, I'll be right away." Chang Chunling said, hurriedly got off the kang in the dark, and opened the door.

Shen Chen entered the room with a cold air, closed the door with his backhand, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to disturb your sleep." Go back to the bed, don't get cold. ”

As soon as the fire flashed, Wei Chun'er actually got up and lit the oil lamp.

Chang Chunling wore a cotton jacket and did not retract the quilt, helping to take off the backpack and gun on Shen Chen's body, and pulling him to sit on the kang.

"Take off your coat quickly, this is the kang head, you go into the quilt to warm up." Wei Chun'er greeted with a smile: "But it's frozen, right?" ”

Shen Chen smiled, and was not polite, took off his clothes, pants, shoes and socks, got into the quilt, and shrunk into a ball.

"Look at this foot is frozen, cold." Chang Chunling touched Shen Chen's feet, rubbed them a few more times, and then covered the quilt well.

"It's okay, it's an old aisle, and your feet are fine." Shen Chen smiled: "It's all in the bed, and it's warm to sleep in a squeeze way!" ”

Chang Chunling and Wei Chun'er smiled one by one, lying down next to Shen Chen, and the two warm bodies were close together, allowing Shen Chen to stretch his body comfortably and let out a sigh of relief.

"Reconnaissance mission accomplished?" Chang Chunling asked casually.

Shen Chen snorted and said, "It's done!" On the way, they happened to encounter the enemy, killed a few, captured three prisoners, and from their mouths, they should be able to know the situation of the stronghold. ”

"Wow, that's amazing!" Chang Chunling perked up and asked, "If you surrender the gun again, you should be able to send me one, right?" ”

"I'll ask the captain for it tomorrow, I should have a gun for you, right?" Shen Chen was also unsure, and said, "Go to sleep, the gun can't fly." ”

Chang Chunling hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll get up early tomorrow and grab one first while the gun hasn't been allocated." ”

Shen Chen agreed and said, "Don't call me tomorrow morning, the captain is on vacation, I don't need to train in the morning, I want to sleep until noon." ”

Wei Chun'er got up and blew out the oil lamp, and said, "You can sleep well, make sure that the kang is hot, and no one will disturb you." ”

Shen Chen turned over, no matter who it was, he hugged one, and there was a light laugh in his ears, and he also laughed twice. The room was quiet, and fatigue and sleepiness hit him, and he fell asleep in a moment.

didn't sleep for long, and the window was knocked gently, and it turned out to be Zhao Tie.

Shen Chen didn't want to move when he woke up, and after listening to a few words, he actually came to ask Chang Chunling to bandage and treat the prisoner, so he didn't bother to care.

Chang Chunling got dressed and left. Wei Chun'er went down to the ground and bolted the door, and then slept lightly on the kang.

……………

A room in the ancestral hall was lit up, and after Chang Chunling arrived, she looked at the prisoner's injuries, brought hot water, and began to treat and bandage.

The wound was not serious, and the bullet from the 38 big cover passed through the shoulder, neither staying in the body nor damaging the internal organs. It's just that the captives are tired from bleeding and tired, and they look weak.

Lao Zhou pushed the record paper to Zhao Tie and motioned for him to read the confession and see if there was any other information that he needed to know.

Zhao Tie quickly finished reading it, nodded slightly, and said to the captive: "What you said is quite detailed, but it still needs to be screened and compared if it is true or false." If you dare to deceive us......"

"Don't dare, never dare." The captive grinned and assured with a bitter expression, "That woman, the female king is fierce. Along the way, he was beaten and scolded, and if he walked slowly, he would be kicked several times. If we don't tell the truth, she, she said she would stab us to death with a bayonet. ”

Zhao Tie's face became complicated, he stroked his forehead, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lao Zhou coughed dryly and said, "We are not bandits and bandits who occupy the mountains and rob houses, but guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army. We have a policy for captives, and if you truly repent, your life will not be in danger. If you don't want to stay, we'll send you home. However, you must no longer be a traitor and act as an accomplice to the devil. ”

"Yes, yes!" The captive nodded repeatedly.

After Chang Chunling finished bandaging, she asked, "Are you just a wounded?" ”

The captive snorted and said, "I was slightly injured, and I was able to carry and walk, so I was escorted back." Badly woundedβ€”"

Chang Chunling raised her eyebrows and blurted out, "What about the seriously injured?" All killed? ”

"No, no." The captive hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The seriously wounded ones are thrown there." They can't move around, and it's a burden to carry with them. ”

Chang Chunling blinked and set her eyes on Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou.

Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou sent Erhuzi and Yu Baogen to rest, and the specific battle process is not very clear.

The two looked at each other and felt that although there was something wrong, it was nothing to leave the wounded prisoners on the battlefield or dismiss the prisoners on the spot.

Not to mention the guerrillas, the regular troops often do this for the sake of easy transfer.

"You tell me more about today's battle and the capture of the city." Zhao Tie is no longer sleepy now, and he is ready to learn more about the situation, if there is any problem, he can also find Shen Chen and them tomorrow.

Lao Zhou looked very weak and tired when he saw the captive, so he asked a guerrilla to go to the stove room to bring a bowl of hot porridge, and let this guy drink it to replenish his strength.

Chang Chunling was also curious, and when she saw that no one drove her away, she sat on the bench in the corner and listened carefully.

"We followed the imperial army, no, it's devils, and went to the nearby villages to grab food." The captives did not dare to say anything about the arrest of women, only said that they were robbing food, "first arrived in Chen Village, and some ordinary people couldn't stand the cold and hunger in the wild, so they returned to the village to live ......"

"We snatched a cow, a donkey, and some mess, and we went back. When I came, it was fine, no one thought that someone would be ambushed, and it was so evil. A few devils walked ahead and got on the bridge......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The shot was so accurate that a few devils couldn't run away on the bridge, and they were all killed in a moment. We only know that people are in the graveyard, but sometimes we only see a small shadow, sometimes we can't see anything, let alone shoot them with guns......"

"We were even dead and wounded, and we didn't dare to come back again. When I heard the explosion, I realized that the bridge had been blown up, and the people on the other side seemed to have run away......"

The captives stopped and gulped the porridge into their stomachs.

Zhao Tie put on the cigarette pouch pot in his mouth, watched the captives finish eating, and asked: "So, it was our people who ambushed you, not the battle that broke out when you discovered them?" ”

The captive swallowed the food in his mouth hard, nodded and said, "Yes, we are walking well, and no one knows that someone is in ambush." Otherwise, how can you swagger on the bridge? ”

Zhao Tie slowly exhaled smoke and said in a deep voice: "Then you continue to talk about what will happen after the bridge is broken." ”

With hot porridge in the captive's stomach, he seemed to be in better spirits, and then said, "If we want to go back to the stronghold, we have to take a detour. Moreover, although there were many casualties, we found that there didn't seem to be many people on the other side, but they were very good at marksmanship......"

Chang Chunling listened to the battle as if it were a legend. One moment the eyes are wide, the other is a round mouth, and the expression is rich.

Just three people, outnumbered, actually beat this enemy to the ground, it is really a relief of hatred, it is really happy.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ As soon as the shot went off, we knew it was broken. One shot at a time, and you can't see where people are hiding? We just dodged around, and the fate behind us was good, but it was not interesting enough, so we turned around and ran away......"

"We took refuge in a depression beside the road, thinking that we should be okay for the time being. Unexpectedly, there was also an ambush in the woods behind, grenades flew over like rain, and the explosions were indistinguishable, and the ears were buzzing, and I couldn't hear anything......"

"We were beaten and scared to death, and when we heard 'surrender the gun and don't kill, surrender and avoid death', we didn't dare to fight anymore. So we surrendered with guns and became prisoners......"

The battle story is finished, and the rest is not important.

The captive licked his lips and looked at Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou with blank eyes.

Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou glanced at each other, and both bowed their heads slightly, letting the captive be escorted.

If according to what the captives said, Shen Chen could avoid the enemy, instead of having to risk the battle. Although the battle is won and the gains are great, the completion of the mission should be the main thing.

If it weren't for the capture of the captives and the questioning of confessions, the reconnaissance mission would have been abandoned halfway. If the reconnaissance is followed by a big operation, it will be a big mistake.
