The large army passed the customs smoothly, and Dong Wenbin, who remained in the county seat, did not arouse suspicion.

Wang Youcai and Dong Wenbin waited at the city gate, greeting the troops of the 58th Wing of the Devils who came to spend the night.

The captain of the devil Dazuo didn't look at it at all, Dong Wenbin, who was wearing a lieutenant's uniform, and Wang Youcai, who was dressed as a military cao, just asked, which unit passed by them before? What are you going to do?

Dong Wenbin, according to the previously discussed statement, told the devil Dazuo that it was the garrison of Yingshan County that had gone out of the city before, and went to the countryside to sweep and clear the communist guerrillas.

His words did not arouse the slightest suspicion, except for asking this question, the devil Dazuo ignored Dong Wenbin anymore, and went straight to the place they had arranged to rest.

But Wang Youcai, when he saw the devil official, almost his eyes were going to burst into flames, if he was worried that there were still a company of brothers, he would definitely assassinate the devil Dazuo on the spot. As a partner, Wu Linsheng knew his thoughts and thoughts, worried that he would do stupid things, kept an eye on him, saw that he endured the torment in his heart, and was not impulsive, and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Nearly 100 ordinary people were organized to prepare a sumptuous dinner for the entire 58th Wing that had entered the city.

This is Dong Wenbin's meaning, and there are two purposes for doing this: first, to block the devil's mouth with good food, even if it is a little exposed, the devil will not immediately think about them as fake; Also, if the devil comes back to his senses later, the devil may remember the meal and will not be angry and slaughter the city.

I was worried all night, but fortunately nothing unexpected happened.

After the devils finished eating the breakfast prepared by Dong Wenbin and drove towards Huoshan under the order of the devil Dazuo, Dong Wenbin, Wu Linsheng, and Wang Youcai breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Wenbin, we have finally passed the test, and we have finally lived up to our expectations." Wu Linsheng sighed.

"yes, it's not easy. I didn't dare to sleep all night last night, and my clothes were wet from morning to now. Dong Wenbin obviously agrees.

"If we poison the devil's food, then the devils of this entire wing are corpses in the same place today, and we still need to be afraid of them?" Wang Youcai also said something, but his words shocked Dong Wenbin and Wu Linsheng to look at each other, and it was like a key, opening the other side of the matter, and the two of them were thinking at the same time: Yes, if these foods were poisoned last night, then what would happen to the devils of this unit, I can think of it.

All of them thought about things too simply, although the devils ate these foods, but before they started the meal, they had been sent to monitor them, and they also let the nearly 100 ordinary people help them try it first, they were "acting" in front of the devil Dazuo at that time, I don't know what this is all about, if there is any attempt yesterday, they will die not to mention, and it will also affect the people of Yingshan in a city.

"What did the devil say before? I muttered to you for a long time. Wu Linsheng suddenly asked.

"He said that in two days, the rest of General Tanaka's 13th Division will also pass through Yingshan, so that we can prepare for reception." Wang Youcai replied angrily.

"Bah, Lao Tzu fed a dog, and I want Lao Tzu to feed another group of pigs, but there is no door." Wu Linsheng scolded hatefully.

"Maybe we're comfortable waiting for them." Dong Wenbin replied self-deprecatingly, and when he said this, he shook his head, obviously feeling incredible that he would go to serve the devil.

"This time is enough, I don't want to do it a second time, whoever wants to come in the future, don't pull me." Wu Linsheng's feeling was obviously not too good, he said: "The devil has left, we should also set off to chase Cunxiang and them." ”

"Actually, everyone is almost ready, and they can go at any time." Wang Youcai replied, after he finished saying this, he looked at Wu Linsheng and Dong Wenbin's eyes a little fluttering, as if something was difficult to say.

"You're rich, do you have something?" Wu Linsheng noticed that something was wrong with his partner and asked.

"It's something." Wang Youcai's words were still a little slurred, and when he saw Dong Wenbin's brows frowning slightly, he knew that he was thinking that he didn't treat his brothers as his own, so in a hurry, he blurted out the words in his heart: "What about the more than 1,000 puppet soldiers who were locked up by us?" Can you ......?"

"Can't!" Dong Wenbin didn't wait for Wang Youcai to finish speaking, and directly interrupted him.

Dong Wenbin is considered to be the descendant of Sun Yumin's lineage, it can be said that in addition to Liu Wenzhi and Silly Xiong, even if it is him, even Deng Dongping and Dai Cunxiang have to go to the back row. In the past two years with Sun Yumin, he has learned a lot, including the word decision.

Although Wang Youcai's words were not finished, Dong Wenbin knew very well what he wanted to say and what he wanted to do.

Wang Youcai himself came from the puppet army, and many of the first and second regiments of Yangshupu also threw themselves from the puppet army, so he had the idea of taking away the more than 1,000 puppet troops. In his psychology, as Chinese, these puppet soldiers must be the same as himself and the puppet army brothers in Huoshan County, they are forced to make a living to wear this dog skin. As long as they know how to reason and move with emotion, they will also be like themselves, and they will drop their guns to fight devils, in this way, the second regiment, which has suffered heavy casualties and has tended to fall apart, can not be rebuilt!

"Why?" Wang Youcai felt incomprehensible, he was worried that Dong Wenbin and Wu Linsheng would deny his opinion at first, so he hesitated, but when he was rejected before he finished speaking, this made him very uncomfortable.

"The reason is simple, we don't have the manpower and energy to operate with this 'big explosive bag'." Dong Wenbin didn't want to explain, but when he saw a rare anger in Wang Youcai's eyes, he chose to answer. "Youcai, I don't deny that many of them are suitable to join us, but have you ever thought about it, we have always had to operate in enemy-occupied areas, if there are a few ill-intentioned people in the team, how much damage will it cause to us, and if we don't get it right, we will be wiped out, do you want to see such a situation?"

Dong Wenbin's words immediately extinguished Wang Youcai's anger, he is a smart person, how could he not understand that these words are correct.

"Let's go, let these guys who work for the tiger be locked up for two more days, and they will be hungry for two days, and they will naturally not be so majestic in the future." Wu Linsheng followed out to convince him, and he said: "You have money, after we meet with the boss and get out of the enemy-occupied area, let's explain to you why we can't bring them with us, okay?" ”

…………

Chen Lai dressed up as a small soldier and always followed Dai Cunxiang's side. She was very well-behaved, and she was completely not domineering when she was in the poplar shop, and she almost didn't say a word, not a word.

As the only woman among so many people, there are indeed a lot of inconveniences, but fortunately, Dai Cunxiang is very careful and thoughtful, so she is not embarrassed.

After rubbing shoulders with the main force of the devils, the tension of the entire army was finally relieved, and Dai Cunxiang finally had time to care about her.

When the march was resting, Dai Cunxiang finally asked the doubts in his heart: "Miss Chen, you are a girl, why do you follow us all the way to find the commander?" ”

"I don't know." Chen Lai's answer was very unexpected by Dai Cunxiang, her eyes were very misty, as if what she said was what she thought in her heart.

"Then why don't you stay in the flat stone to take care of Xiao Chujiu like the girl? There are Sister Gu, Girl and Miss Yanru on the mountain, and you will not be as alone as you are now. ”

Dai Cunxiang thought that there was a problem with the way he asked questions, and he shouldn't ask from the boss, so he continued to ask in a different way.

"I also want to take care of Chu Jiu." It seemed that Dai Cunxiang's words touched her mind, and tears began to appear in Chen Lai's eyes when she said this, and she said: "Brother Dai, I don't want to leave Chu Jiu, but she has a lot of people to take care of now, and he has no one to take care of, I ...... I...... I miss the ninth day now, I miss her so much! ”

Chen Yun's words made Dai Cunxiang speechless, of course he knew who the "person who didn't have anyone to take care of" in this woman's mouth, but he didn't know that she in her last sentence "I miss Chu Jiu now, I miss her so much", she was talking about Chu Jiu or Sun Yumin.

Dai Cunxiang didn't dare to ask her again, looking at Chen Lai, who was sitting on the ground with his knees crossed, looking into the distance, he just sighed with pity.

During the afternoon march, Dai Cunxiang arranged for Chen Lai to sit in the truck, although he couldn't see her, but this woman's resentful look, stubborn temperament, and pitiful eyes always haunted his heart.

Dai Cunxiang could see that in this girl's heart, the boss had already occupied everything. He had an impulse several times to tell her the story of Chen Yun and Lu Man, and he wanted to tell her that the boss was a hero, but he was by no means a man worthy of her love.

Dai Cunxiang can be sure that he didn't get involved with Chen Lai's thoughts, but he didn't know why, he couldn't help but have a desire to protect her, maybe because she was the boss's sister-in-law, or because she was a relative of Chu Jiu, in fact, he knew that it was more because this woman was too beautiful, and it would inexplicably make people have the urge to protect the flowers.

That night, Dong Wenbin and the others caught up, and there were not many people left in Yingshan City, and the truck played its role, so even though the large army had set off all night early, it was quickly overtaken.

After Dong Wenbin caught up with Dai Cunxiang and them, he brought a news that everyone didn't want to hear, and there was the main force of the Devil's Thirteenth Division in front of him.

Although everyone was dressed as a Japanese puppet army, and the fall of Yingshan was not revealed, Dai Cunxiang and they decided to adjust the route and turn in the direction of Huangmei, and their original destination was Xishui and Huangshi.

In order to stagger Tanaka Shizunichi's 13th Division, Dai Cunxiang and the others chose the route to Jiangxi was exactly the route that Sun Yumin and the others planned to return to Anhui, and the only difference between the two was that Dai Cunxiang took a team of nearly 2,000 people to turn around and march towards Huangmei, while Sun Yumin and they went straight to Huangmei.

After two days of marching, the troops were a little tired, Dai Cunxiang discussed with the fool and Dong Wenbin, and then let the troops rest in an unknown village, and at the same time, according to the usual means, scattered scouts and secret sentinels.

The village is not big, I saw the devil with the plaster flag coming from afar, and the people in the village all ran clean, even if Dai Cunxiang wanted to explain, they had no chance, except for finding a house for Chen Lai to rest, the rest of the soldiers, including the officers, were sleeping outside, which was Sun Yumin's requirement to govern the army, and could not disturb the people. According to the requirements, Chen Lai actually can't go to the people's homes, not to mention that there is no one at home, but Dai Cunxiang found an "excuse" for herself, she was not a person in the army, she found a room for her, and sent two soldiers to guard the door, no one was allowed to disturb her, and finally gave Chen Lai a chance to relax himself, and even extravagantly boiled water to take a bath, for a beauty like her, not taking a bath for a few days is simply killing her, for Dai Cunxiang's careful care, she is naturally grateful.

Dai Cunxiang slept soundly on the thigh of the silly bear with his head, and he had been staying with the silly bear for a long time, and he was already immune to the "unique smell of men" on the silly bear.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps woke him up, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and found that Dong Wenbin was also awakened, but the stupid bear didn't react at all, and he was still snoring rhythmically in his mouth and nose.

It was Wu Linsheng who came in a hurry, he ran over anxiously with two soldiers, and saw that Dai Cunxiang and Dong Wenbin had already gotten up, and hurriedly said, "Regiment commander, emergency." ”

"What emergency? Say it. Dai Cunxiang sensed the anxiety of Wu Linsheng and the two soldiers he brought, and hurriedly asked.

"Regiment commander, we are surrounded by the national army, and now they are compressing the encirclement, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will attack."

It was a soldier brought by Wu Linsheng who spoke, and although Dai Cunxiang didn't know him, he also knew that this was a reconnaissance sent by Wu Linsheng.

"Surround us?" It may have just woken up, Dai Cunxiang didn't react for a while, but when he saw Wu Linsheng pointing to the dog skin on his body, he suddenly realized that the national army troops surrounding them must have regarded their own troops as devils and puppet soldiers.

"This is not far from Huangmei County, it should still be in the enemy-occupied area, how can there be such a large national army?" Dai Cunxiang muttered to himself, he couldn't figure out what the situation was.

"Now is not the time to think about this, let's think of a way." Dong Wenbin urged. He didn't want to kill each other with the national army, the brothers didn't fall on the battlefield fighting with the devils, but died under the guns of their own people, which was too worthless.

"You don't have to be so nervous, just send someone to contact and you'll be fine." Dai Cunxiang said: "Wen Bin, maybe I have to run in person, you hurry up and let the brothers change into the clothes of the national army, the sooner the better." ”

"Then you must be careful." Dong Wenbin didn't stop it, he knew that someone needed to stand up at this time, otherwise there would really be a misunderstanding, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Dai Cunxiang quickly changed his clothes, and the rank of lieutenant colonel on the collar badge shone in the light of the fire, he had not worn a military rank for a long time, and since the 20th Division, he had almost forgotten that he was still a lieutenant colonel.

Led Wu Linsheng and Wang Youcai, as well as five or six soldiers, waving a white flag and carrying no weapons, groped their way to the outside of the village.

It was pitch black and silent, if it weren't for Dai Cunxiang and them with two torches, the white flag would have been swallowed up by the darkness, and they wouldn't be able to see it at all.

On such a night, if it were not for a professional soldier, who would have thought that the village had been surrounded, and in this seemingly dark and silent night, there were infinite killing intentions hidden.

"Don't shoot, brothers of the national army outside, we are friendly troops! Don't shoot, brothers in the national army outside, we are friendly troops! Wu Linsheng shouted around with a few soldiers.

shouted several words in a row, but still did not get a response, until Dai Cunxiang personally called out the number of the troops: "Listen to the brothers of the national army outside, we are the Huoshan Independent Detachment of the 21st Group Army, and the commander is Sun Yumin." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, there was no movement outside the village, and suddenly a fire lit up somewhere, and then soon there were fires all around.

The place where the fire was lit first came out of a group of people.

Dai Cunxiang knew that this was the national army that surrounded them and confirmed the identity of his troops, so he put down the stone hanging in his heart and took Wu Linsheng and them to meet them.

The two sides got closer and closer, and Dai Cunxiang suddenly found that the figure surrounded by the group of people on the opposite side was very familiar, Wu Linsheng's eyes were firm, and he suddenly shouted: "Brigade Commander Zhang!" ”

With this exclamation, Dai Cunxiang also saw clearly who the person who came, he was not the brigade commander, but the dignified commander of the 20th Division: Zhang Xiaohu!
