Chapter IX, Section 3
Besides, the captain Hou Liang and the political commissar Qin Gang are commanding the troops to fight the enemy hotly. You come and go, you attack and defend, and the battle is very tight and cruel. The small river in front of the village is no longer as calm as it used to be, the river and both banks are full of dead bodies, the clear water is completely stained red with blood, and the fish that have been blown up by grenades or cannonballs float on the red water, and the red ripples are waving with white fish splashes......
Hou Liang suddenly saw the gunfire behind the enemy, as if reinforcements were coming. Unlikely! Where are the reinforcements? While thinking about it, the enemy formation was in chaos. No matter how much he has, a God-given opportunity, he can't use it, and he will talk about it again. Hou Liang waved his gun and shouted, "Comrades! Come on! "Be the first to jump out of position and pounce on the enemy.
The two captains saw that the guerrillas were flanked before and after, the captain was injured and fled, and he had no intention of fighting, and the opposite "**" had begun to charge, so he hurriedly led the team to retreat in the direction where the captain fled. Fan and Yu chased after them for a long time, and finally caught up with Chen Bing.
"Captain! It's us. Other...... Other...... Don't run! Self...... Self...... My own people! Captain Fan shouted breathlessly.
With such a shout, Chen Bing finally stopped his steps, turned around, and saw clearly that the person who came was Fan and Yu, and then put his mind at ease. When the two approached, he scolded: "Mom's! What do you run? Lao Tzu thought that "**" was chasing after him. What are you doing when you don't hold your ground? Captain Fan said with a hippie smile: "Captain! You didn't give the order to hold on, the brothers saw that the captain was injured, how dare they still lie there, no, hurry up and bring someone back to protect you, isn't it dangerous if you are chasing behind you? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's dangerous!" Captain Yu echoed.
"That's right! Lao Tzu doesn't run, waiting to be beaten to death by "**"? Chen Bing said, feeling a pain in the wound, grinning his teeth and no longer speaking.
"Captain, your injuries are okay, are you?" Captain Fan said with concern. Captain Yu stepped forward and stroked it gently, expressing his distress.
"Don't touch! The military doctor has seen it just now, scratching a little skin, it's no big deal, mother's, it's just hurting Lao Tzu to death. Chen Bing wrapped his hand around the gauze and avoided the captain's touch. Then, he stopped, turned and looked back, and said: "Why don't you see the guerrillas chasing after you, and there is not even the sound of gunfire?" ”
"That's right! Why didn't this guerrilla chase it? Fan, Yu and the two looked at each other.
"Don't you dare to chase us? If you're afraid of us, why don't we run a bird? "Chen Bing didn't have time to think about it in order to escape for his life before, but now he looks back and thinks about it, it's not right! The guerrillas who attacked Lao Tzu did not have very strong firepower, and eighty percent of them were small units. Mommy's! As soon as this small force is stirred, Lao Tzu's major matter of suppressing bandits has been stirred up, how can I explain to the 15th Commissioner's Office when I go back, how can my uncle let me go? Chen Bing didn't dare to continue to think, and hurriedly ordered Fan and Yu: "Quick! Fast! Hurry back and run! ”
Hou Liang led the team to rush to the vicinity of the small hill and collided with Su Cheng and them.
"Captain! I've found you. Su Cheng, Lin Yi and other six people report to you! Su Cheng put away the gun, wore a big cap on his head, and stood up and saluted.
"Huh! You kid came out of the ground, why didn't you die? Hou Liang said in surprise. Political Commissar Qin Gang hugged Su Cheng, looked left and right, looked up and down, and said seriously: "Hmm! It's Su Cheng. Not dead indeed! ”
"Do you all want me dead?" Su Cheng pretended to feel aggrieved.
"That's right!" Qin Gang jokingly replied, "However, there is a person in this world who doesn't want you to die." ”
"Who?"
"Let's defeat the enemy in front of us first, and then let's talk." Hou Liang stopped everyone's words.
"Captain, there's an important situation to report to you." Su Cheng hurriedly said.
"What's the situation? Don't delay the pursuit of the enemy. ”
"According to Liu Yaomei, a soldier in our squad, the enemy security regiment has outflanked our rear road." Lin Yi took a step forward and said.
"What? You repeat! Hou Liang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. If the troops do not withdraw from the city quickly, they will again be surrounded by heavy enemy forces, and perhaps, there will not be so much good luck for us. "Order the troops to immediately stop the pursuit and inform the rest of the village to evacuate quickly." Hou Liang didn't wait for Su Cheng and them to answer again, and gave an order. In fact, there is no need to answer anything, he and Qin Gang had long expected that the enemy would come like this, and the enemy security group would definitely come, but they didn't expect the security group to come so quickly.
"Yes!" The staff officer conveyed the order and went.
After a while, a long and loud trumpet sounded in the distance to stop the pursuit and gather the troops......
"Let's go!" Hou Liang waved his hand, and the team circled around the back of the security regiment from the side, and strode towards the Damiao Mountain area.
Guo Lian and the security regiment copied the back road of the ** guerrillas and set up a decisive battle with them. However, waiting left and right, I didn't see "**" fleeing to this side, and I didn't hear the slightest gunshot. Puzzled, I saw a team in the distance killing this way. I thought, I finally waited for "**", see where you are running this time? I have to cripple you. Guo Lian shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers! This time, I will give Lao Tzu a good beating, and we must not let go of a communist member. Mo Tong, the commander of the first battalion, boasted with confidence: "Tuanzao! Rest assured! Our artillery company has six small steel cannons, and we are waiting for your order to immediately send the guerrillas to the western sky. Guo Lianyi has a dashing appearance, his left foot is on a big rock, his upper body is straight, his left hand is holding a telescope, his right palm is open, and he is raised high. Behind him stood Yuan Longbiao of the Secret Bureau, deliberately keeping a distance from Guo Lian to highlight the leadership of the commander-in-chief.
"Slow down! Slow down! Head Guo, look at that! Yuan Longbiao raised his binoculars and wanted to enjoy this rare scene of victory, and witness with his own eyes how "**" was blown up to the flesh and blood, and the corpses were all over the field. It's a pity! What appeared in his telescope was a man dressed in Self-Defense Force clothing.
Guo Lian was shouted by Yuan Longbiao, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, put down his raised right hand, and hurriedly grabbed the telescope with both hands and looked into the distance. This hope made Guo Lian, who was originally alive, completely deflated. Because he happened to see Chen Bing's depressed face in his lens, it means that Chen Bing also saw him through the binoculars.
"! Chen Bing of the dog day, what the hell? Guo Lian scolded fiercely. Shouldn't you scold? ruined Lao Tzu's good deeds, a great achievement just ran away, he was unwilling to do that!
After a while, Chen Bing had already arrived, and Guo Lian greeted him.
"Ouch! My Captain Chen! Aren't you entangled with '**'? Why don't you see a '**'? Guo Lian asked pretendedly.
"Don't mention it, Lao Tzu almost died." Chen Bing is in decline.
"What's wrong? The self-defense captain of hundreds of people, the real head snake of Nanliang County, who else dares to take your life? I'm really impatient, tell my brother that I'll unscrew his head for you. Guo Lian said sarcastically.
"Let the brother laugh. Originally, our Self-Defense Corps had already suppressed the enemy so that he could not move, and in a few moments, he would be able to completely annihilate Beipo Village. I didn't expect it! Dozens of enemy reinforcements arrived and attacked my command from behind. If I hadn't been quick, Lao Tzu had sacrificed his life for the country, and I wouldn't have seen you, brother. Chen Bing's words were conclusive. He deliberately raised his injured right hand again and said, "No, it can be regarded as donating an arm to the party-state." ”
"Brother, how are you hurting?" Guo Lian asked fakely.
"Alas! It's scrapped, it's scrapped, it's scrapped this time. Chen Bing pretended to be in pain. Fan and Yu, who were following behind, couldn't help laughing, turned around and covered their mouths and snickered. "Hmmm! Hmm......" Chen Bing coughed dryly, suggesting that the two of them converged. "It doesn't matter if I live or die personally, it's a pity! Let '**' Hou Liang take the opportunity to slip away. No, we chased it all the way. Brother, didn't you see the "**" running this way? ”
This slippery guy! What dozens of reinforcements? A few people made you look like this, right? Are you an idiot to me? The hand is wasted, you still have so much spirit standing here talking to Lao Tzu? ** of premature paralysis on the stretcher moaning. You kid let go of the "**", which is good, but in turn he asked Lao Tzu for someone, shirked responsibility, thought of you beautifully, and saw how Lao Tzu joined you. Guo Lian wanted to think about it, but there was a wicked smile on his face, and said: "Since the Communist Party is gone, why don't we dig the ground and look for it?" As he was talking, the investigators of the security regiment ran to report: "Report to the sir! The communist guerrillas have fled in the direction of Damiao Mountain. ”
Guo Lian and Chen Bing understood that if the guerrillas were allowed to flee into Damiao Mountain, it would be difficult to find them again. There can be no delay, there is no choice but to pursue quickly.
"Chase! Chase ......"
In order to get rid of the enemy's pursuit, the Tanliang guerrilla brigade marched day and night, and advanced to the Damiao Mountain area without stopping. Along the way, I drank some spring water on the side of the road when I was thirsty, nibbled on some corn, sweet potatoes, taro when I was hungry, and chewed some wild vegetables. The fighters are so tired! It's time to find a place to rest. Hou Liang and Qin Gang looked at each other, and the two understood.
"Stop moving! Troops rest in place! As soon as the order was given, everyone sat down on the spot, and many people fell asleep unconsciously. Some fell asleep with guns in their hands; Some fell asleep back to back; Some fell asleep with their faces against their faces. After a few days of non-stop, the soldiers are tired, so let them rest!
"Paperwork!" Hou Liang shouted.
"Here!" Clerk Wei Degui ran over.
"Give me the map!"
"Yes!" Wei Degui skillfully removed the bamboo tube from his body, took out the map, and spread it out on a large bluestone.
Hou Liang and Qin Gang each took a few small stones and gently pressed them on the four corners of the map to lay out the map. Then, Hou Liang waved his hand to Wei Degui, signaled to leave, and when there were only two people left, he pointed to a place called "Pubu Village" on the map, and said to Qin Gang: "Let's go to Pubu Village and station." As he spoke, he quietly used his finger at the intersection of the road leading to Pubuzhai and paddled towards another road. It seemed to be an unintentional slide, but Qin Gang could see it, understood it, and said, "Okay! Just go to Pubu Village. ”
In the tired, tired crowd around them, no one wanted to make a slight noise that disturbed this rare rest. The conversation between the captain and the political commissar seemed so clear in the silent mountains and forests that there was nowhere to hide. This word was squinted, and the person who pretended to be resting heard it clearly and clearly, he showed no signs of reacting, his body was motionless, but his heart was like a surge, thinking about how to deal with it. After a while, a subtle sneer appeared on his face.
"Comrades! Keep moving! At the sound of the order, the guerrillas woke up as if they had heard the horn of the charge in their sleep, and quickly helped each other to their feet, packed their bags, and began to move forward. Although the rest time was not long, the comrades' physical strength and energy recovered a lot, and they were able to walk with much more energy.
After a period of marching, the troops came to a fork in the road. A road on the right leads to Pubu Village, and a road on the left leads to Miaoling Village. The troops did not stop, and walked straight in the direction of Pubu Village on the right.
"Commissar! The topography here is very peculiar, why don't I go to the front with you and see how the terrain is? Hou Liang said.
"Alright! Understand and understand, and it will be convenient to fight guerrilla here. ”
"Let's go." Hou Liang turned his head and shouted to the comrades behind: "The comrades in the back hurry up, don't fall behind." The commissar and I went to the front to check the terrain. After Hou Liang finished speaking, he and Qin Gang rushed to the front one after the other.
After a while, several people fell behind the group. Zhao Qi walked in front, logistics assistant Wei Shichang followed, logistics detachment leader Ye Qin followed, and the most rearly was clerk Wei Degui.
"What kind of road is this! It's much more difficult to walk than the road in Jieyang Mountain, it's not called a road, Assistant Wei, you say yes? Zhao Qi said with emotion.
"Yes, yes, this is a road, it is clearly a ditch, there are stones everywhere, and it is extremely difficult to walk." Wei Shichang felt the same way.
"Ouch!"
"What's wrong? Captain Ye. Zhao Qi asked with concern.
"Deputy political commissar, it's okay, it's just that my foot was turned by a stone." Ye Qin said.
"I said this stone, it's really annoying!" Wei Shichang complained.
"That's it, clerk, you accompany Captain Ye for a while. The road was too small, and there were too many people to help, so Assistant Wei and I took the first step. When the road is better, you can catch up. Zhao Qi said goodbye and walked to the front with Wei Shichang.
Only Wei Degui and Ye Qin were left behind. When I came to a relatively flat road, I suddenly saw that the road ahead suddenly disappeared and was blocked by a boulder. It turned out that after the road reached the boulder, it went around from the back, and it seemed that there was no road. Surrounded by rocks and trees, it looks a little eerie and creepy.
"Xiao Wei! You go first. I'll wrap the sprained part around it, fix it, and I'll catch up with you in no time. ”
"Are you okay?" Wei Degui was a little worried.
"Go ahead! It's fine. Ye Qin waved his hand to him and motioned for him to leave.
"Oh well! I'm waiting for you in front, you hurry up. With that, Wei Degui turned the big stone and left.
It's surprisingly quiet. Ye Qin sat alone on a stone, tore the strap into two, and tied his injured foot with a strap, but his eyes looked around carefully, and then, his gaze stayed on the boulder. Once again, he made sure that there was no one around, and got up and walked towards the boulder. When he came to the boulder, he quickly crumpled one end of the other strap into a ball and stuffed it into a crack in the stone, and fastened the other end to a small branch with grass vines, the larger end pointing in the direction of the guerrilla march, and the other slender end pointing in the direction from which it came, which was clearly the arrow pointing the way. Everything was arranged, Ye Qin patted the dust on his hands with great satisfaction, turned the boulder, and prepared to leave. However, he slowly retreated, a black hole muzzle aimed at his chest, and a man came out from behind the boulder, holding a gun at him, this person was Hou Liang, followed by two guerrillas with guns.
"Captain, what are you doing here?" Ye Qin pretended to be calm and said.
"What? Do you still need me to say it? Hou Liang stared at him with forced eyes and said coldly. Ye Qin slowly retreated to the strap embedded in the crack in the stone, and the two guerrillas quickly stepped forward to block his way. Hou Liang pointed to the strap and said, "Is this what you are looking for?" Ye Qin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, it's not mine!" Ye Qin thought to himself, they didn't see it with their own eyes, and they couldn't show evidence, as long as I didn't admit it, they couldn't do anything about me. Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared on his face.
"Captain, this is indeed not mine, maybe some comrade doesn't want it, just make fun of it, put it on the stone, is there anything wrong with this? I can't figure this out of making you so nervous, as if you're on the verge of a great enemy? Ye Qin touched the back of his head with his hand, pretending to be confused.
"Really? Doesn't it have anything to do with you? Like a thunderclap exploding in Ye Qin's ears, three people jumped out of the chaos next to the boulder, and the one headed by it was Qin Gang. Ye Qin was dumbfounded when he saw that it was Qin Gang, knowing that everything he had done was all seen by Qin Gang. In this case, it is useless to deny, Ye Qin turned his heart and said, "What if it is me?" What does this mean? I just threw the extra cloth I used to wrap my injured foot on the boulder. ”
"Nightingale!" Qin Gang suddenly shouted.
"Who is the 'Nightingale'?" Who is Nightingale? Ye Qin was shocked, and immediately panicked, in order to hide his gaffe, he turned around in a circle, pretending to ask inexplicably.
"Hah...... Ha ......" Qin Gang laughed, this is what he wants.
"'The Nightingale' has nothing to do with them, so when they suddenly hear the name, there is no reaction. You're different, the Nightingale is all too familiar to you, that's why you react like that. Hou Liang pointed to several guerrillas and said.
"Look at the road sign made of this strip of cloth, the arrow is very standardized and skillful, the body of the arrow is straight, the tail part of the arrow is tied neatly and meticulously, the arrow points in the direction of the enemy, and the tail of the arrow points in the direction of the pursuer, all of this is purely the work of a well-trained and sophisticated agent after many years of training. I saw a lot of you when I was working in the underground party. Moreover, when I was passing through the three-way intersection of Jieyang Mountain District, I saw you make a road sign with my own eyes, and I moved the road sign to another road at that time. This time you're doing it again, do you think you'll be able to run away this time? Qin Gang's words were conclusive.
