Chapter IX, Section 2
"! One day this poisonous snake falls into the hands of Lao Tzu, I must have peeled his skin with my own hands! Li Fengjiang, the leader of the fourth squadron, slapped his palm on the table and stood up angrily.
At this time, a person dressed as a common man hurriedly ran into the venue, went straight to Hou Liang, and whispered in his ear. Hou Liang waved his hand, and the man retreated.
"Comrades! Our meeting will not be able to continue, and the enemy will not let us open it! Chen Bing and his Self-Defense Corps have already been killed, and they are not far from us. Hou Liang said with a serious face.
"Before we could get a foothold on our heels, the enemy arrived. It seems that our foothold is leaking. The enemy obtains this information in two ways: one is to obtain the approximate location from the captured personnel; The other is the 'cancer' hidden within us that the comrades just analyzed, and it was he who revealed our specific location. I think that's the most likely. Qin Gang said.
"Alright, that's it for the meeting. All the troops immediately made preparations for the battle, and the location was chosen in the area of the small river in front of the village, and the time was seized to build fortifications. The leaders of each team hurry up and get ready to go, and the meeting is dismissed! ”
When Hou Liang waited for the other comrades to finish and only the political commissar was left in the conference room, he pulled a stool and sat next to the political commissar, and said in a low voice: "Old Qin, it seems that you have to think of a way to deal with this thief." Qin Gang said with deep sympathy: "Yes! In terms of scope, anyone, including you and me, is suspicious. In the current situation of the great enemy, it is not appropriate to shake the morale of the army and throw itself into chaos, which is exactly what the enemy wants to see. Hou Liang stood up and paced around the room.
"Looking back on the whole process since the anti-encirclement and suppression, I vaguely feel that this person should be in our brigade headquarters." Hou Liang seemed to be pointing.
"I feel the same way. The last time I passed through the three-way intersection in Jieyang Mountain, I found that someone had left a road sign, and I thought at the time, whether someone placed it casually or deliberately left it, anyway, we can't expose the marching route of our troops. So, I moved the sign to another way. Now that I think about it, it's very likely that the enemy's inner line was left behind. Speaking of this, Qin Gang couldn't help but gasp. If this is the case, if this person is not eliminated for a day, he will eventually be a great scourge to my guerrillas, like a fish thorn stuck in the throat of my guerrillas, unable to swallow, unable to spit out, and extremely uncomfortable. How can we pull out this hateful fish bone? Qin Gang pondered hard.
"Old Hou, there is!" Qin Gang slapped his thigh and screamed excitedly.
"What's the matter, Lao Qin, say it quickly!" Hou Liang rushed to Qin Gang's side.
Qin Gang was startled by his own cry just now, subconsciously looked around, and then leaned close to Hou Liang's ear and said in detail.
"Okay, you are a great literati, there are really a lot of flowers and intestines in your stomach, this trick is accurate!" Hou Liang excitedly punched Qin Gang's chest, Qin Gang said "ouch", touched his chest with both hands, and coughed a few times. Hou Liang panicked, hurriedly went to help Qin Gang, and asked with concern: "My political commissar, you have nothing to do, right?" Blame me for my heavy hands. ”
"Do you look like I'm in trouble?" Qin Gang put his hand down, straightened his chest, and then patted his chest with his hand and said. This pat on the chest was not tight, but he felt a little pain, his chest was closed, and he said, "However, you are really ruthless." ”
"Ha, ha, ha, this is called 'seven inches to fight a snake', am I right?"
"You're beating me like a snake! This is not called 'hitting a snake to hit seven inches', this is called 'leading the snake out of the hole', or saying: there is no cat in the world that does not smell fish and does not eat fish. You tell me? ”
"That's right! That's the reason. Hou Liang grabbed Qin Gang's shoulder, the two looked at each other, and smiled knowingly, "Let's go, let's go to the position and have a look." The two talked and laughed all the way and walked towards the small river in front of the village.
Yuan Longbiao followed Guo Lian in the Dadeng area to search for the remnants of the guerrillas. The two were struggling to find the main force of the guerrillas.
"Report!"
"Come in!" Yuan Longbiao saw that the person who came was an agent of his own secret bureau, so he hurriedly beckoned the person in, "What's the matter?" Yuan Longbiao asked. The visitor looked at Guo Lian and stopped talking. Yuan Longbiao understood, looked at Guo Lian, and saw that Guo Lian took a sip of the teacup, and did not look like he was evading, and hurriedly pointed at the man and said, "Say it quickly!" Say it! Head Guo is an elite of the party-state, and he is not an outsider, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Guo Lian smiled with satisfaction on the side.
"Yes! Captain. A secret message came from the Einsatzgruppen team. The man said, handing a bamboo knuckle about the thickness of his little finger, and withdrew.
Yuan Longbiao took it with his left hand, used the tip of the nail of his little thumb and the tip of the nail of his thumb with his right hand, clamped the note in the bamboo joint, gently pulled it out, slowly unfolded it to take a look, his face showed joy, and after reading it, he handed the note to Guo Lian. Guo Lian slowly put the teacup on the table, rolled up his sleeves with both hands, took the note, leaned back on the chair, raised it in front of his eyes, and slowly unfolded the note. A few words were written on the note: The main force of the guerrillas is in Beipo Village, Tanliang Township. The small icon that looks like an eagle but not a bird is drawn in one stroke, and the word "nightingale" is written on the side. Seeing this, Guo Lian immediately sat up straight, then stood up, carefully read the note again, his face was solemn, he withdrew his sleeves with both hands, buttoned his discipline buttons, and straightened his chest.
"Someone!" Guo Lian shouted.
"Here!" The adjutant entered the room with the folder in his left hand.
"Pass on my order, and the troops will immediately set off and go to Beipo Village, Tanliang Township."
"Yes!"
In addition, he sent a telegram to Captain Chen of the Self-Defense Corps in the Tanliang area, ordering him to rush to Beipo Village to encircle and suppress the main force of the guerrillas without delaying the fighters. Our department will arrive later. Signed: Guo Lian, the commander-in-chief of the bandits. ”
"Yes!" After the adjutant quickly finished recording on the folder, he repeated it aloud, and when he saw that Guo Lian had no objection, he stood on his feet and turned to leave.
Chen Bing received Guo Lian's telegram, and after reading it, he secretly scolded in his heart: Damn! The guerrillas, a rabble, actually gathered under Lao Tzu's nose, and Lao Tzu didn't know what to do, and he clearly didn't take Lao Tzu in his eyes, okay! You are good-looking, Lao Tzu doesn't make you clear, Lao Tzu's mother's "Chen" character and your "Hou" surname. This is called: there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to come from. Then don't blame me for being ruthless and killing them all. He called the two captains, Fan and Yu, and said angrily: "Immediately gather the team and level Beipo Village for me." ”
Su Cheng and Lin Yi inquired about the guerrillas all the way and came to a small forest near Beipo Village. The two walked out of the woods one after the other, and Lin Yi was about to walk to Beipo Village, when he was pulled into the bushes by Su Cheng. "Shhhh Lin Yi took a closer look and smacked his tongue, it's so dangerous! Not far in front of them, a group of Kuomintang soldiers, armed with guns and cats, touched towards Beipo Village. Look at the person dressed as a member of the Self-Defense Forces. The two quickly drew their guns and observed the enemy's movements.
"Fight?" Lin Yi's hands were a little itchy.
"What to fight, there are so many enemies, the two of us can't afford to give people food and drinks. Looking for death that? ”
"What then? It's impossible to watch the enemy hit us. ”
"Don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first, don't worry about this time, you will fight." Su Cheng comforted.
The two retreated into the woods, ready to discuss what to do next. Suddenly, sensing movement in the grass behind them, the two made eye contact with each other, one rolled on its side, and the two rolled out a few steps to the left and right respectively, using the trunk as cover, kneeling and raising their guns to aim at the grass, ready to shoot.
"Don't shoot! It's us, squad leader! Before he could finish speaking, three men emerged from the grass. Su Cheng fixed his eyes and saw that the three of them were the soldiers of this class, He Li, Deng Degui, and Hua Hai.
"How are you?" Su Cheng and Lin Yi put away their guns and greeted them.
"Squad leader, you're not dead, are you? Impossible! I obviously saw you blown up to the sky, and then fell into a deep ditch, so you don't die, it's too mysterious. He Li happily grabbed Su Cheng's hand.
"Do you wish I was dead, so that no one cares about you." Su Cheng pretended to be angry.
"Squad leader, after you died, someone would have cried for a few days." Ho Li said.
"What is after death, curse me, isn't it? Lao Tzu will kill you. Su Cheng pretended to raise his hand to hit someone.
"You were indeed dead at the time, I don't believe you ask them." He Li said seriously, and pointed to Lin Yi, Deng Degui, and Hua Hai.
"Hmmm! That's right! It's dead. The three of them nodded solemnly.
"I ......" Su Cheng couldn't get out of the way, he looked left and right, and he didn't know who he was hitting with his raised hand.
"However, this class is still sad about your death, especially this little one...... Crying for days. He Li pointed at Hua Hai and said. This Hua Hai is only sixteen years old this year, and he is the youngest in their class.
"Say I'm good, don't you too." Hua Hai said unconvinced.
"Actually, it's okay if your squad leader dies, you don't have a squad leader, you all come to our second class, wouldn't it be better for me to take care of you?" Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Alright, stop! It's endless. Tell me how you got here. Su Cheng changed the subject.
"After we were scattered by the enemy, we remembered that the leader had told us that no matter what the situation was, it was right to go northeast. So, we inquired all the way to get here, and we were coming here when we encountered the Kuomintang soldiers coming here, and we hid in the woods and didn't dare to come out. He Li said.
As he was talking, in the direction of Beipo Village, gunshots suddenly erupted, shouting for killing, and explosions came and went. Several people quickly rushed to the front edge of the woods and looked out.
"Look! The bitch got into a fight with our guys. Squad leader, let's go. "He Li is impatient.
"No, with our guns, going up like this won't help much."
"So what should we do, we can't just sit idly by here, can we?"
"It's going to be beaten, but beating these little minions won't do anything." Su Cheng's eyes kept searching for something.
"What do you mean......" Lin Yi thought thoughtfully.
"That's right! What I mean is 'seven inches to fight a snake, and a thief to capture the king first'. Su Cheng grabbed Lin Yi, pointed to a small mountain bag on the left side of the front, and said to Lin Yi: "What do you think is the problem next to that mountain bag?" Lin Yi looked at the mountain bag and vaguely saw a bunch of people busy, and from time to time someone ran in and out.
"It's too far away, it would be nice to have a telescope, and you can see those people's butts clearly." Lin Yi rubbed his eyes and said regretfully.
"Squad Leader Lin, you think beautifully, the entire brigade, I think only the captain and the political commissar have it, right? If you want to have it, why don't you roll it with both hands. As he spoke, he curled his hands into a telescope and looked over the hillside, "Hey! It's really good, and it is much clearer than not using your hands. When everyone heard this, they followed suit, and sure enough, they saw it much more clearly.
"Hey, hey, hey, look! It really seems that there are officials in it. ”
"It's a wave! You see the costume is different, I'm sure there are officials. ”
"Let's go! We'll hit that place. Su Cheng and Lin Yi nodded to each other, and were about to jump out of the woods, Hua Hai pulled the corners of Su Cheng's clothes behind him, and whispered timidly: "Squad leader, it seems that there is a wave behind you!" Leng Buding said this, although the voice was small, it was like thunder. Because of the attention of the others just now, they were too focused on everything in front of them, and they thought that someone would sneak attack behind, so they rolled to the ground in shock, and the muzzle of the gun turned to the rear, looking nervous.
"Who? Come out! Or beat you into a hornet's nest. ”
"Don't ...... Don't ......" The man hiding behind a big tree, holding Hanyangzao in one hand and leaving the other empty, turned out.
Lin Yi saw that the person who came was Liu Yaomei, a soldier in this class. Lin Yi wiped the cold sweat on his head and scolded: "Damn! Is that you, boy? It almost scared us to death! You must know that people are scared to death. Why are you here? ”
"If it weren't for me, if it were the enemy, you would all have to die, and you would be embarrassed to scold me? Thank you that it's too late yet. Liu Yaomei pretended to be aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, okay, thank you, thank you, it's okay, it's scared?" Lin Yi was helpless.
This Liu Yaomei can be regarded as a difficult character to mess with in Lin Yi's class. This starts with his name, at home, he is the fifth, the first few are all men, when his mother gave birth to him, he felt that a litter of boys was too noisy, and he wanted a girl very much, and decided to have another one. In order to entrust her wishes, and in order to summon and reward a girl to the heavens, she decided to name him Liu Yaomei first. As a result, his aunt was greatly disappointed, and the sixth was born, still a boy. Since then, as long as these brothers have something to eat, they can do whatever they like, and their parents are too lazy to worry about this, in fact, there are many babies, and they can't it. That day, Liu Yaomei went to join the guerrillas, and in the village, someone didn't understand and asked his aunt: "How can you let your son become a bandit and not be afraid of being killed by the national army?" Do you know how Grandma Lu Dao replied to others: "It doesn't matter what 'soil' he is, as long as the baby has something to eat." In this way, Liu Yaomei became a guerrilla and was assigned to Lin Yi's class. Because no one has been in charge since he was a child, he has developed a bold and uninhibited character, often violates some small disciplines, makes some small problems, and is not less criticized by the leaders, but Lin Yi is blamed for his lax discipline and carries a lot of "black pots" for him.
"Squad leader, on the way here, I met people from the security team rushing here. It stands to reason that you should follow the same road as me, and this road is the closest to Beipo Village. Oddly enough, they went the other way. Liu Yaomei said.
"The other way? How can it be? Aren't they here to encircle us? Su Cheng wondered.
"Liu Yaomei, isn't your family from this area? That way, you should know how to go there, right? Lin Yi asked.
"I used to walk through it, and it seemed to lead to the village behind Beipo Village."
"Are you sure?" When Su Cheng heard him say this, his heart "chuckled", and an ominous premonition came up.
"Yes, I'm sure." Liu Yaomei recalled again and nodded affirmatively.
"Not good!" Su Cheng and Lin Yi looked at the enemy in front of them, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help but cry out in unison. He both understood that this was a big problem, and that the guerrillas would be caught in a dangerous situation in which the enemy would be flanked in front and rear, and the consequences would be unimaginable. What to do? If you rush over, these people, even if some people don't die, notify the captain of the team, what can they do? still can't escape the fate of being surrounded.
"Lin Yi, I think, we only have one way to go." Su Cheng said.
"What way? Say it! At this time, there will be no gate to hell and a mountain of swords, and we will also break through. Lin Yi said anxiously.
"Look at the hill bag in front, yes! It's the one we just saw. It must have been an enemy command post, I reckon. What if we took it out? ”
"The enemy there must be chaos." Lin Yi clenched his fists and smashed it hard.
"That's right! As long as it is a command post, the enemy there will be chaos. Su Cheng said with certainty.
"Good! We just did it! Lin Yi said categorically.
"it!" The other fighters spoke in unison.
"Let's go! Stealth forward! Su Cheng waved his hand, and everyone quietly walked out of the woods and touched the small hillside.
Approaching the hillside, Su Cheng made a gesture to disperse, and everyone quickly dispersed, concealed their bodies, set up their guns, aimed, and prepared to shoot. Su Cheng saw that an officer was facing away from them, holding a telescope and looking ahead, protected by guards behind him, on the left and right. Whatever! Let's get rid of this official first. Because Su Cheng was in a low position, Su Cheng was lying on his stomach, aiming left and right with his gun, but he couldn't reach the officer. The officer's body was blocked by the guards, sometimes half exposed, sometimes all at all. Can't delay any longer, Su Cheng simply jumped up from the ground and shouted: "Fight!" The bullet spun at high speed, as if it had an eye, and pierced the gap between the shoulders of the two guards, and struck directly at the officer's arm. The officer fell to the ground with his right hand in his hands. The other guards, some of them were knocked down on the grass by Lin Yi and them before they could turn around, and those who were not dead were carrying the officer to the side while fighting.
The officer was none other than Chen Bing, the chief of the Self-Defense Corps. Chen Bing confidently commanded his troops to fight a decisive battle with the guerrillas in Beipo Village, and when the security regiment arrived, they were annihilated in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, "halfway out of the way to bite the gold", and almost killed him, this front and back attack, he had to run, or his life would be gone. Chen Bing didn't stop running, Fan and Yu saw the gunfire at the headquarters, and hurriedly sent people to check, and the soldiers came back to report that Captain Chen was injured by the Communist Party and had now run in the direction of Tanliang. Without a coach, how can this battle be fought?
