Although it was a pity that there were other weapons and things that could not be taken away, Shen Chen knew that these fifty or sixty catties were already the limit of his current load.

And to carry these things to the cave where he lived, he estimated that he would have to walk and rest until dawn.

The mountain breeze blows, and the hair on the forehead flies.

Shen Chen stood on the edge of the cliff and thought for a while, but he always felt unwilling, so he returned to the bunker, took off the kerosene lamp, added bedding and other things, made a slow-burning device, and piled up all the guns and ammunition that could not be taken away.

If you can't take it away, you can't leave it for the devil and the puppet army in vain, Shen Chen glanced around, stood up straight, and let out a sigh.

There was the sound of the watchtower on the hillside in his ears, and Shen Chen walked out of the bunker, picked up the bangzi on the ground and knocked it three times, buying himself an hour.

Slowly climbing down the cliff along the rope made of leggings, Shen Chen paused on the rope from time to time, and took off the kerosene pot on his waist to soak the rope.

When she got to the bottom of the cliff, she poured some kerosene on the rope, struck a match, and lit the rope.

Although this may not make the enemy unable to detect traces, but with this possibility, Shen Chen still strives for rigor and perfection.

With a big bag of fifty or sixty pounds on his back, Shen Chen began to feel that it was not too difficult, but the road was still very long, and he knew that the more he walked, the more tired he became, and he did not regret that he had thrown away a lot of things.

A crescent moon peeked out of the clouds with a pointed chin, casting a shy light on the mountains and forests of Missensonia.

There was the sound of the wind blowing trees and weeds in his ears, the sweat on his forehead, and the sand made his shoulders hurt, Shen Chen wiped it with his sleeve and continued to move forward with the eight sounds.

The bunker in the distance behind him suddenly brightened, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and the tongue of fire rushed out of the hole of the gun.

Boom, boom...... Smack, smack...... The grenades and bullets began to explode in the fire, and Shen Chen turned his head and looked at Qingshi Ridge.

Covered by trees and foliage, it is not very realistic, just a red cloud, with thick smoke, and occasionally bright and shining because of the explosion.

Hehe, it's more lively than the New Year! Shen Chen smiled happily, turned around and continued to hurry, as if there were lit fireworks behind him, with sound and light effects, as if he was cheering for her to see her off.

………………

Several peaks were shrouded in the morning mist, and at the base of the mountain was a village, and wisps of cooking smoke rose above the village.

Zhao Tie took a big stride and walked forward vigorously, although he walked fast, but his feet were silent.

Another young man led the way ahead of him, stout and fast-paced. Because he couldn't hear Zhao Tie's footsteps, he was afraid of pulling him down, so he looked back from time to time.

Approaching the village, the two slowed down, distanced themselves, and entered the village one after the other, seeing that no one was paying attention, the two of them got into the small courtyard with a few jujube trees at the door.

There was a middle-aged man sitting in the room, his face full of stubble and looking old, when he saw Zhao Tie and Zhuzi entering the house, he got up with a smile and shook hands with them.

The three of them sat down, and Uncle Cheng put on his cigarette pouch, smoked slowly, and said, "Last night, you took the bunker on the bluestone ridge?" ”

Zhao Tie was stunned for a moment, glanced at the pillar that was also stunned, frowned and said, "Old branch secretary, how many people and guns do we have in the guerrillas?" Besides, what actions can you not tell? What's wrong, something happened to the bunker on Bluestone Ridge? ”

Uncle Cheng was originally unhappy in his heart, but when he heard Zhao Tie's denial and explanation, although he was shocked and puzzled, he still secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Last night was more lively than the New Year, the bunker was on fire, and I saw red lights from afar, and there were guns and cannons. If it wasn't our guerrillas, who else could there be? ”

Zhao Tie pondered for a while, didn't know the essentials, and said: "It's definitely not our doing, Lao Zhou has not been able to establish a firm foothold in the mine for a long time, in order not to cause trouble to him, so as to carry out the work smoothly, haven't we all agreed, and we won't take big action for the time being!" ”

"yes!" Uncle Lao Cheng spewed out thick smoke and said in a low voice: "Now the devils and the puppet army have to toss again, step up the closure of the mountain and investigate, Lao Zhou's work will be greatly affected!" Originally—" He smiled wryly and waved his hand, stopping the conversation.

"It won't be Lao Zhou-" Zhao Tie wanted to speak and stopped, shaking his head again and again in denial, "Impossible, no one has no guns, how can you take the bunker." ”

"It's definitely not going to be Lao Zhou." Uncle Cheng said very firmly: "He is not the kind of person who is reckless and reckless, he also knows what his task is, and he will not mess around." ”

"Who did that?" Zhu Zi interjected curiously on the side: "You can't do this big thing without two brushes, and you can't do it with fewer people and fewer guns!" ”

"No matter who did it, the impact on our work should be considered first." Uncle Lao Cheng knocked the cigarette pouch pot and said solemnly: "Maybe the devil will sweep up and take revenge, and the sulfur accumulated on Lao Zhou's side must also be transported out." In short, let's discuss the future work. Of course, we must also inquire about who did this great thing. ”

"yes, it's messing up our work right now." Zhao Tie said with a wry smile: "I think I can bring the guerrillas over first, whether it is to deal with the devil sweep or to help Lao Zhou smuggle sulfur, you can use your strength." ”

"It's for the best." Uncle Cheng nodded in agreement, and added: "I also have to send someone to contact Lao Zhou immediately and ask him to suspend his actions." At the same time, I also helped to inquire about what is going on on the bluestone ridge? ”

………………

Bluestone Ridge, next to the bunker.

The gun holes of the bunker were scorched black, and the detonation of the internal ammunition did not destroy the bunker, but the iron door was burst open by the air wave and fell to the ground somewhat deformed.

An unpleasant scorching smell was disgusting, and the leader of the devil squad couldn't help but cover his nose.

The fire had already been extinguished, and the puppet soldiers were covering their mouths and noses with towels and were cleaning out the contents of the bunker. Blackened corpses, weapon parts, blackened debris...... It was placed in the open space outside the bunker.

The unlucky puppet soldiers in the three watchtowers stood tremblingly, being interrogated by a Japanese agent.

But the Japanese spy did not seem satisfied after questioning, and walked over to the corpses, parts, and sundries, and examined them carefully.

After a long time, the Japanese spy straightened up, looked around, and walked to the edge of the cliff to look for and observe.

Finally, he squatted down again, picked up the charred ash on the ground with his hand and sniffed it, nodded thoughtfully, got up and walked to the devil squad leader.

"Matsumoto-kun, what did you find?" The leader of the devil squad put down the hand covering his nose and asked.

"It wasn't an accidental fire, it was a fire that destroyed the traces after the attack." The Japanese spy confidently made his judgment, "The bullet hole in the skull speaks for itself." And the murderer should have climbed up from the cliff, and he didn't forget to burn the rope when he fled, which shows that he is a very thoughtful guy. ”

The leader of the devil squad nodded lightly and said appreciatively: "No matter how careful you are, you can't escape Matsumoto-kun's eyes." After speaking, he looked at the side of the cliff, the mountains and forests were dense, and there was a faint sound of pine waves, and his brows were also furrowed, "Matsumoto-kun, can you see how many murderers there are?" Where did you flee? ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, I will go down to look for traces." Matsumoto paused and said, "I'm just a little surprised that a weapon like a machine gun can be discarded by the murderer and only destroyed. This shows that the murderer or the number of people is very small, and it is difficult to move; Or a stupid person who doesn't understand and can't use it. ”

"Does this rule out the possibility of the guerrillas in China?" The leader of the devil squad touched his chin and guessed thoughtfully: "Or is it an internal vendetta?" ”

"There is still a great possibility of internal vendettas." The Japanese spy coldly glanced at the three puppet soldiers not far away, and said: "Suddenly carry out a sneak attack without defense, and then set up a suspicious formation, making a false appearance of climbing a cliff to escape." ”

The devil squad leader's gaze became fierce and cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Matsumoto-kun, the task of tracking down is entrusted to you, and you must get to the bottom of it." ”

"Hello!" Matsumoto stood upright and bowed his head in response.

……………………

Kiln House, a dilapidated small house.

"Don't transport the copper moraine for the time being, the devil will close the mountain more strictly, and the burning of sulfur will be temporarily stopped." A large miner spoke in a deep voice, surrounded by several miner-like people.

With a square face, a broad forehead, and two godly eyes under thick black eyebrows, the big miner was the same big man who helped the two charcoal buyers from the outer village to get rid of the fat head and hemp pole on T-shaped street, and it was also the guerrillas who were lurking in the mining area.

The copper moraine mentioned by Lao Zhou, the scientific name is iron sulfide, mixed in coal, after a rain and sun, the sulfur contained in it will cause spontaneous combustion of the coal pile, and the mine often finds child laborers to pick it out of the coal.

Because of the sulfur contained in the moraine, many people living in the mining area burn sulfur. That is, the earth stove is built on the ground, and the smoke produced by the burning copper moraine is smoked on the crooked chimney wall, and then the soot is scraped off and boiled into sulfur blocks in a pot.

Since the devils occupied the mining area, they were afraid that the burned sulfur would be made into gunpowder by the anti-Japanese forces, so they listed the copper moraine as a "forbidden object", and whoever took it would be killed.

"Are all the moraines that have been transported buried in the ground next to the ditch?" A miner asked, "It seems that the devil's patrol has not been stepped up, so it doesn't matter if you make a few more trips, right?" ”

"Don't take it lightly, devils are very cunning." Lao Zhou said solemnly: "Picking the copper moraine should have been done by the children, if the adults were found because of this, there would be no excuse, and they would definitely be suspected and arrested by the devils." ”

"Lao Zhou is right, you really can't be careless." An old man with a gray beard spoke in the corner, "As for burning brimstone, it's good to stop for a while." When it is winter, when the northwest wind blows, it should be safe to change to Shiwolfyu. The northwest of Shiwolf Valley is full of mountains, and there are no people for twenty or thirty miles, but it is not easy to be found. ”

The biggest problem with burning sulfur is the smoke, which is not only poisonous, but also choking, and the surrounding trees can be smoked to death, and you can smell it from a long distance.

What the old man said made a lot of sense, and he obviously had a lot of life experience.

"Then it's decided." Lao Zhou nodded in agreement, and pointed to a few miners to assign tasks, "You two bury the moraine and try to stay away from the mining area; Hide the boiled brimstone and destroy the stove, leaving no trace. Hurry up, don't let the devil catch the slightest problem. ”

……………

The pillboxes around Qingshiling were burned and the puppet army was killed, and the guerrillas, devils, and underground parties immediately became busy, each using their own strategies and making their own adjustments.

And the initiator, Shen Chen, carried his things back to his residence before dawn, ate in a hurry, and fell asleep. By the time she woke up and looked at the seized pocket watch, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Eating too much and sleeping enough, Shen Chen was used to this phenomenon. The speed of growth and recovery beyond that of an ordinary person was not unusual for him who had experience of rebirth.

His current residence is not a cave, to be exact, but a mine. This area has long been a coal-producing area, and there are many excavated and abandoned mines, some of which are even hundreds of years old.

Of course, the mine that Shen Chen found was abandoned before the Anti-Japanese War, and it was not long ago, and the shed supporting the mine was not completely decayed, relatively speaking, it was relatively safe.

Moreover, the place where she now lives is a rock cave dug out by exploration, although it is not very large, it is very deep, and there is no danger of landslides and water.

The deep and long stone cave became a shooting range for Shen Chen to practice marksmanship, with mountain dates inserted on several thin wooden sticks, a distance of dozens of meters, dim light, and dull gunshots, which became the only scene in the cave in a few hours.

This is thanks to the crooked machine gun in the bunker, which uses the same bullets as the 38 guns, with more than 300 grains, so that Shen Chen has enough ammunition.

Shoot, estimate, adjust, shoot again...... Feel the recoil of the gun with your new body, feel the strength of the hair trigger, once, twice, three times......

It was dark before the fire started in the cave, the crackling sound of pine needles and dead branches, and the rice tumbling in the soup, slowly stagnating with stickiness.

Only when the rice full of lunch boxes gave off the fragrance did Shen Chen open his half-closed eyes.

Although he was alone in the deep mountains and old forests, he didn't feel too much discomfort.

There is an old saying that "harsh government is fiercer than tigers", which means that people are more afraid of cruel rule than of tigers and wolves.

The same is true for Shen Chen, he can't bear to swallow his anger and worry under the rule of the devil.

Although he was sometimes forced to do so, he wanted to be in control of his own destiny and to explore the uncertain hope without fettering.

After eating, Shen Chen felt full of physical strength, and his confidence was gradually recovering, and the loss of changing his body was gradually left behind by him.

Killing devils and traitors, is it a task, an instinct, or a fate? Shen Chen didn't want to think about it anymore, and he couldn't figure it out anyway.

He only knew that he had to follow this path, fight and upgrade according to his purpose and creed, and then it would be possible to find a way to return home.

In the dark of night, Shen Chen came to the top of the mountain, sat on a big rock, let the mountain wind blow her hair, looked around, and thought about her next move.

Day and night, this is the law of action she has come up with. Confidence comes from the upgraded "night eye", from the upgraded "sniper".

Although according to her estimate, these skills have not reached the limit, and there is still a lot of room for upgrading, but for ordinary people, they are enough to be invincible.

A triangular gray cloth wrapped his hair, tied a knot at the back of his head, and picked up the rifle that was not too commensurate with his figure, Shen Chen finished his contemplation, took a step, and walked into the distance.
