Chapter II, Section 3
"You guy! Almost caught your way. Xiao Yazhi hugged him and returned to his seat. After a while, Bai Yesheng said to Xiao Yazhi that he wanted to go to the toilet, took some straw paper prepared in the conference room, and walked towards the toilet accompanied by the officer at the door. The officer in charge of surveillance glanced into the toilet and, seeing that there was no one, retreated outside the door and waited. Bai Yesheng entered the toilet and walked straight to the innermost, and saw that the person squatting in the first room was Staff Officer Ding, so he squatted down in the second room. Bai Yesheng closed the door, quickly took out a pen and wrote on the straw paper.
Xiao Yazhi still has doubts. She called another surveillance officer, whispered in his ear, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Go!" When the officer came to the door of the toilet, he saw that the officer guarding the door was about to greet him, so he hurriedly put his finger to his mouth and signaled to be silent. The officer who was ordered to come to check walked in lightly, suddenly pushed open the second door, and saw Bai Yesheng holding a paper in his left hand and his knee in his right hand, his face was flushed, and he hurriedly said: "Excuse me, I thought there was no one." Close the door and walk back, get out of the toilet, and go back to the conference room to report to Xiao Yazhi. Staff Officer Ding took the paper handed over by Bai Yesheng from the gap below, and saw that it read: The enemy's Nanliang Self-Defense Force will surround the meeting place in Longzhai Village, Leyuan Township, in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and take measures to reduce losses quickly. After that, put the straw paper in his mouth, chew it and spit it into the pit. Bai Yesheng walked out of the toilet door and returned to the conference room accompanied by the surveillance officer. Staff Officer Ding continued to stay for a while, and when he saw that there was no one around, he also left the toilet. Xiao Yazhi was not very willing to ask the two surveillance officers whether Bai Yesheng had contact with people and whether there was anything abnormal, and the answer was no. Although Bai Yesheng had already passed on the information out of the city, due to the long distance, he was not sure whether the information could reach Longzhai Village before the enemy arrived. The only thing that can be done now is to silently pray for the safety of the party organization. Time passes slowly in torment, waiting for the unknown outcome.
To the north of Longzhai Village is the large stone mountain that stretches endlessly. The mountain is high and steep, and the strange rocks are dense. The northwest direction of the mountain is Xicheng County, and most of the inhabitants are the Molao people. It is a hilly landscape with soil and rocks in the southeast, east and west, and dense pine forests grow naturally on the mountains. The rice fields in the mountains and forests are vertical and horizontal, the ditches flow, and there are many neighboring villages, namely Dong, Han (Hakka), Zhuang and other ethnic groups. A village road leads from south to north to the head of the village, and there is an ancient banyan tree that is hundreds of years old on the left and right sides of the village. Its four or five people can't get together, and its roots are intricate and deep-rooted. The thick branches on the trunk of the tree stretched to the ground, some like the long braids of a village woman, and some like flowing hairsprings. The tall part of the tree resembles a giant umbrella that spreads out vigorously, with lush foliage. There is a happy event in the village today, a lot of red cloth strips are hung on the branches of the banyan tree, from time to time someone enters the village, a string of firecrackers is hung on the branches and lit, the "crackling" sound is non-stop, a group of children around the firecrackers cover their ears with both hands, leaning over, their small eyes are aimed at the firecrackers that explode, the face is both frightened and excited, when the firecrackers stop, they will rush the firecrackers on the ground that have not been lit, and then quickly disperse, and they have to play.
The first family at the entrance of the village was the home of Mo Lin, the president of the peasant association. There are more than 100 households in Longzhai Village, and there are four brothers in the village, the eldest Mo Hai, the second Mo Yun, the third Mo Lin, and the fourth Mo Tian. Today is the day when Mo Hai's son marries his daughter-in-law, and there are many relatives and friends who come to congratulate him, including many people who are born in person. Mo Yun, secretary of the Nanliang County Working Committee, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wide mouth and a thick nose, a not very thick beard on his face, a medium build, a strong body, and full of strength. He is amiable, but he also exudes a kind of majesty, and with him, you will feel that he is the backbone, giving people a special sense of steadfastness in their hearts. Mo Yun wanted to take this opportunity as a cover to convene a meeting of the leaders of the guerrilla areas. This will avoid the enemy's eyes and not alarm the people in the village. In order to facilitate the reception of the people who came to congratulate and the leaders of the guerrilla zone who participated in the meeting, a table was specially placed in front of Mo Lin's house, and a red paper was spread on the table, Mo Hai stood in front to greet the guests, Mo Yun took a brush to write the names and gifts of the people who came, Mo Lin used a notebook to record the names and gifts of the people who came, and Lin Yifan, a member of the working committee, and Qin Juhua, Mo Yun's wife, received the guests. One is to bring the guests of Hexi to the courtyard of Mo Hai's house; The second is to bring the leaders of the guerrilla zone to Mo Yun's house and settle down. Mo Tian is responsible for making tea and delivering water to greet the congratulatory guests. Some of the guests have already arrived, and some are rushing here in twos and threes. At this time, firecrackers rang out at the head of the village, and two people walked into the village, one of whom shouted when he saw Mo Yun from afar: "Big brother, congratulations!" Congratulations! When Mo Yun saw it, he greeted him and said, "Ah! It's you, Brother Hou, welcome! Their hands clasped together. The people who came were Hou Liang, the captain of the Tanliang Guerrilla Zone Martial Arts Team, and the correspondent, and Qin Juhua took the two to her home. In addition to a few tables at the wedding banquet, other wine tables were scattered to the homes of nearby neighbors, among which a table was also set up in Mo Yun's house to entertain the delegates attending the meeting. In the evening, firecrackers go off and the wedding feast begins. Suddenly, the village was very lively. Talking about the sky, talking about the earth, guessing the horse, drinking wine, the sound is in the ears; Eating eating, picking vegetables, drinking, visiting doors, all happy. The wedding banquet is over, and after cleaning up, it's time to make a hole again. Laughter, laughter, voices, and shouts all rolled together, and the night of revelry continued......
Mo Yun's home is surrounded by a two-meter-high wall made of adobe bricks. Entering the courtyard gate, in the middle is a vacant land paved with large stones, which can be used to do some chores at ordinary times, and there is a lot of time, which is convenient for the village or your own family to hold various activities and set the table for dinner. On the left is the farm tool house and mill, and on the right is the kitchen and toilets. Across the middle of the flat is a traditional house made of earth and stone. A six-step stone staircase made of large bluestone leads to the door. To the left of the stone staircase is a pig house that extends to the ground, and to the right is a cow house that extends to the ground. Entering the house is the hall, there is a bedroom on the left and right, on both sides of the Qing Dynasty wooden carved dark red benches, in the center is placed a table of eight immortals, there is a copper incense burner on the table, the wall above the incense burner is the ancestral throne, and there is a door in the lower right corner that leads directly to the inner room. Entering the inner room, there is a bedroom on the left and right, and a wooden staircase leads up to the second floor on the left side of the door, a larger room on the left is a warehouse for storing crops, and a bedroom on the right.
Outside the courtyard was the hustle and bustle of happy events, and several correspondents and militiamen from the guerrilla zone were on guard around the courtyard, but inside the courtyard was a different scene. After eating the wedding banquet in a hurry, after Qin Juhua and everyone cleaned up the dining table, they removed the table and placed a pot of charcoal fire in the middle of the hall. The charcoal fire burned very vigorously, and from time to time "crackling" sparks splashed around, and the blazing charcoal fire reflected the faces of everyone present, and the body was warm and coaxing, and the heart was even warmer. Comrades sitting around the fire included Mo Yun, secretary of the Working Committee, Lin Yifan, member of the committee, Qin Zugen of Leyuan, Hou Liang of Tanliang, Jiang Jie of Xiangmiao, and Lu Junliang of Longbei, leaders of the guerrilla zone. Mo Yun sat in the middle of the door, he looked at the comrades sitting around on the left and right, and said affectionately: "Comrades! It's been hard all the way, it's not easy to come here, and on behalf of the Working Committee, I would like to welcome your arrival. There are two contents of our meeting today, one is to summarize the work, and the other is to deploy tasks. Now, first of all, the guerrilla zones will analyze and sum up the work against the enemy in the early stage. Hou Liang spoke first, and then the leaders of the other guerrilla areas also made speeches one by one, and after the last, Mo Yun made a summary and assigned the tasks for the next stage: "Our next step is to do a good job in the self-construction of the armed engineering team. Strengthen the study of political ideology and enable comrades to change from small peasant consciousness to revolutionaries. Second, it is necessary to intensify training and improve military quality and skills in fighting guerrillas. Third, it is necessary to give play to the role of the underground party, peasant associations, militia, women's workers' corps, and literary and artistic corps, vigorously propagate and carry forward revolutionary ideas, mobilize more masses to join revolutionary organizations, and strengthen the revolutionary ranks, so that the revolutionary cause can be continuously developed and the guerrilla areas can be continuously expanded. After the meeting, Mo Yun arranged for them to stay and asked them to return to their respective guerrilla zones tomorrow morning.
Because Nanliang County is a large county, the Kuomintang specially set up a self-defense corps here. It is a local security force subordinate to the General Headquarters of the Suppression Command, and its subordinate units have a county self-defense unit, a special service squadron, and a self-defense unit in each township. Since it is nominally a corps establishment, the number of personnel is far less than the corps establishment requirements. Chen Bing was appointed as the commander-in-chief, but he still relied on the help of his uncle Chen Tianlei, the commander-in-chief. Therefore, this guy has a backstage, usually very high-flying, unstoppable, only his uncle's words can still be listened to, in the local is both a bully and a pervert, many people suffer in his hands, the masses hate it. On the same day, he received a call from Chen Tianlei, the commander-in-chief of the suppression, thinking that the opportunity to show his face in front of his uncle and show his ability had come, so in addition to the people left behind, he personally led more than 100 people from the county self-defense force and the special service squadron to Longzhai Village, Leyuan Township.
Chen Bing led his men and horses, according to the general plan, and arrived at Longzhai Village at four o'clock in the morning. Stopped at a pine forest not far from the village. He called Captain Fan from the Guards and Captain Yu of the Special Service Squadron, pointed at Longzhai Village with a horsewhip and said, "See, this is a bandit's den." Then, pointing at the captain with his horsewhip, he said, "You, take your Self-Defense Force and take it from the left bread of the village." Then he pointed to Captain Yu and said, "You, take your special service squadron and go to the right side of the village to surround it." With his left hand, he patted his chest and pointed at the entrance of the village with his horsewhip and said, "I, take a platoon from the middle and plunge it straight in." When you hear the gunshots, you gather around. After speaking, he glared at the two of them and asked, "Do you understand?" The two quickly replied, "Understood!" Got it! Captain Fan patted his ass and said: "The captain is really clever in using soldiers!" Pincer offensive, plus a single knife straight in, straight to the Yellow Dragon, small admiration and admiration! Captain Yu also nodded frequently on the side. Chen Bing lightly slapped the two of them with a horsewhip and said, "Fuck you, don't wear a high hat for Lao Tzu." Tell the brothers, catch the bandit leader Mo Yun and reward ten pieces of ocean, and the other bandit leaders five yuan, and find a few beautiful village girls after the battle and play with them. Listen, and start moving on time at half past five. ”
"Yes!" The two of them suddenly became energetic, and each of them was eager to try.
The big yellow dog of the Morin family began to feel uneasy. The ears were erected and lowered, and then erected again, and the nose was "sneering" and snorting, and he kept walking up and down the wall, stopping from time to time, raising his head, and roaring a few times in the direction of the woods at the head of the village, as if to tell his master that there was a living person over there. Morin was woken up by his own dog, he knew that his family lived in the village, and the dog was very alert to the movement outside, so he quickly got up and put on his clothes, went out to the yard to check, and saw Rhubarb turn his head to look at him, and then turned back and continued to bark outside. Maureen walked over and touched its head, meaning to tell it to understand, don't bark, Rhubarb wagged his tail, lowered his head, and went back to the nest. Merlin decided to go out and have a look, he came outside the house, looked up at the woods in the distance, oh my God! I shuddered and quickly retracted my head. He saw that in the woods opposite, all the crows were full of people. I thought to myself, it's broken! It must be the enemy, coming towards Mo Yun and them, he hurriedly and quietly ran to Mo Yun's house. knocked on the door, and the messenger on duty in the door asked who it was, and opened the door after knowing that it was Morin. Morin said to the correspondent: "The enemy is coming, hurry up and get up comrades." After speaking, he went straight to Mo Yun's bedroom, woke him up, and told him about the situation. Mo Yun hurriedly gathered all the people together to study countermeasures. Lin Yifan said: "Now that we have been surrounded by the enemy, it is almost impossible to break through with a few of us, my opinion is that while the enemy thinks that we are still sleeping, send a person out of Lu to move the rescue troops, maybe we can still be saved, at least not the whole army will be wiped out." However, even one person may not be able to get out! Hou Liang said angrily: "Damn, it's a big deal to fight with the enemy to the death." Mo Yun said: "It is easy to work hard, but the revolutionary cause is about to suffer heavy losses, and I agree with Comrade Lin Yifan's opinion." You have to think of a way that works. When everyone was in a hurry to think of a way, Morin said, "There is a way, I don't know if it will work?" ”
"Say it! What method? Qin Zugen asked anxiously. "Because there are a lot of insects and frogs in the morning, and there is a habit in the village of driving ducks to the fields early to eat insects and frogs," Morin continued: "Because there are many insects and frogs in the morning, and we know this as well as the enemy. Mo Yun said: "I think, this method is feasible, so it's decided, Lin Yifan, you go." Lin Yifan said: "I'm not suitable, I have to move rescue soldiers when I go out, and I am not familiar with the martial arts team, peasant association, and militia organization in the surrounding villages, so I will delay time." We don't want to fight anymore, no one can go any longer, and we will bring losses to the revolutionary cause, who can bear this responsibility? I propose that the party members vote, and if you agree with Lin Yifan, please raise your hand. Everyone understood, and no one raised their hand. Lin Yifan said again: "If you agree with Mo Yun, please raise your hand." Not only party members, but also other comrades raised their hands. Mo Yun had no choice but to agree. Before leaving, he said to his comrades with tears in his eyes: "You must hold on, and you must wait for me to come back." After that, he handed over his Bai Langning pistol to Lin Yifan, changed into an old cotton jacket, put on a hat, took a bamboo pole, drove the ducks, and went out of the village in the southeast direction.
The sky is already dark. The hills and trees in the distance appear and disappear in the morning mist, and the green grass on the ridges, clothed in white frost, extends into the distance, like criss-crossing jade belts, dressing the earth in checkered clothes. The morning breeze carries the smell of the fields, which is fresh and penetrates the lungs, making people linger. The ducks that Mo Yun drove out were running and happy to their heart's content, constantly spreading their wings, fluttering, fanning, jumping, playing with each other, enjoying the gifts that the earth had given them. At this moment, Mo Yun has no intention of watching and enjoying all this. All he could think about was the safety of his comrades and comrades, and he had to hurry up and call for help. As he walked, Mo Yun was blocked by a team of people, led by Captain Yu of the special service squadron. He shouted, "Stop! What for? Mo Yun pretended to be very scared and said, "Boss, I didn't do anything bad!" Just drive the ducks to the fields to eat as soon as possible. Captain Yu said, "Search him!" The soldier searched Mo Yun's body and said, "Report to the captain, there is nothing on him." "The Communist Party has not woken up from a dream, if it is really the leader of the Communist Party, how can he have guns, gold bars, money or something, how can there be nothing? Not to mention fishing for oil and water. As he was thinking, he suddenly heard several gunshots from the village, and thought of the captain's explanation.
"Brothers, quick! Fast forward to the village. Leaving Mo Yun behind, he hurriedly rushed to the village with people. Mo Yun knew in his heart that this was the guns fired by his comrades to cover him and lead the enemy towards him. He dropped his bamboo pole and duck and ran briskly towards the nearest Yunling Village.
Chen Bing was guarding the entrance of the village with a platoon. When he heard the sound of gunshots in the village, he cursed: "Mother, bastard! Whoever the fuck shoots, doesn't listen to Lao Tzu's command, Lao Tzu has to unscrew his head. After scolding, he took out his pistol and shouted: "Brothers, charge me, capture Mo Yun alive, reward the ocean, reward the woman!" "They stormed the village and surrounded Mo Yun's house. Chen Bing took a microphone made of paper and shouted: "Listen to the people inside, you have been surrounded, it is futile to resist, surrender quickly!" "Inside the house, Lin Yifan told everyone to save bullets, to delay time, if the enemy does not attack, we will ignore it, if the enemy attacks, wait for the enemy to approach and then fight. Seeing that there was no movement, Chen Bing waved his hand, and seven or eight soldiers held their guns and touched their waists. The door of the courtyard was open, the door of the house was closed, and the house was eerily quiet. Two soldiers entered through the gate, and the other three climbed over the wall into the courtyard, and two responded outside the courtyard. When the two soldiers walked up the stone steps, the door of the house suddenly opened wide, and bullets were fired from inside, and the two soldiers immediately rolled down the stone stairs to the courtyard gate and died. At the same time as the gunshots rang out, the windows of the upper floors opened, and the muzzles of the black holes stretched out, and the bullets fired outwards killed several soldiers who entered the courtyard. The two soldiers who were responsible for the response hurriedly fled the courtyard and stammered to report to Chen Bing: "Report, report, report!" '**'The firepower is too ...... Too...... It was so fierce that all our brothers who went in died...... Die...... He's dead. Chen Bing said angrily: "Mom, these communists are quite tough, give me a machine gun sweep and a grenade to blow up, I don't believe they can be punished." Suddenly, there was a loud burst of gunfire and explosions, and I saw that the courtyard walls collapsed, the eaves and trees flew sideways, the rubble splashed everywhere, the walls of the houses cracked, the windows were smashed to pieces, and the doors of the houses were blown apart. Chen Bing organized three attacks in a row, but as a result, five or six more corpses were left behind, and there was still no progress.
