The southern front operation in Lane 48 has entered the final stage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Wang Shusheng and Bai Jiansheng's next work is, of course, to completely eliminate the remnants of the bandits in the villages in the area under their control, and thoroughly investigate the reasons and whereabouts of the big bandit Guo Lian's escape.

The head of the regiment, Wang Shusheng, immediately dispatched small teams to the villages under his jurisdiction to launch a carpet search and arrest operation. The bandits who were left behind in the villages and sneaked back to their homes either surrendered and were caught, or they were shot dead on the spot.

In the village, announcements of the execution of recalcitrant bandits and the good news of meritorious service to the enemy were posted everywhere.

The villagers' enthusiasm for suppressing bandits is unprecedentedly high. Villagers' committees, village women's federations, militias, villagers' cooperatives, children's groups...... They all took action to assist the People's Liberation Army in searching mountains, caves, and all possible hiding places for bandits. When encountering bandits hiding in tunnels and caves, they used smoke or threw grenades to uproot the last enemies one by one, and soon, the bandits left in the villages and mountains and forests were basically cleared out.

As for the search for Guo Lian's whereabouts, the troops also quickly had results. Bai Jiansheng organized personnel to conduct a comprehensive and meticulous investigation of the second detachment of the Flying Tigers and the troops responsible for patrolling, setting up points, and guarding cards in the vicinity of Nongyuan Village, and finally found clues of Guo Lian's escape.

Not long after the troops went deep into the Yama Valley to suppress the bandits, two abnormal situations occurred around the village: one was that several bandits in the area of the Yama Valley Pass tried to break through the encirclement of our bandit suppression troops and were killed by our troops on the spot; The second is that there is a local woman who went up the mountain to collect firewood. Other than these two incidents, nothing else suspicious was found.

In the room, Bai Jiansheng stood in front of a table with a military cup containing boiling water. Bai Jiansheng picked up the steaming cup, blew it, drank two sips, and then held the cup, letting the temperature warm the palm of his hand, he held the cup and paced in the room and thought for a while, walked quickly to the table, in different positions on the table, used his fingers to mark the water in the cup, wrote the words "breakthrough" and "mother-in-law", and circled them, connected them with a horizontal line in the middle, and then put the cup next to the word "breakthrough".

Bai Jiansheng crossed his waist, staring at the words on the table, thinking. At this time, he had to think about these two events that happened in different locations together, and a scene quickly came to his mind: the pass, which is the location of the cup, several bandits desperately broke through and were killed, did they just break through? On the other side, an "old woman" "broke through" the encirclement. Is there any necessary connection between them?

We can analyze it like this: If Guo Lian is not in the Yama Valley, then he must be on it. Since it was above, there was no Guo Lian among the few bandits who were killed, and the only person who could get out of Langyuan Village was this "old woman". In other words, if Guo Lian really ran out, then the only thing that can be equated is Guo Lian and the "old woman", and there is no other option. Now, what we have to figure out is, how did Guo Lian become an "old woman"? And what is the relationship between the "old woman" and those bandits who broke through? In this way, the problem is completely clear.

Want to prove that the "old woman" is not Guo Lian? Wouldn't it be clear to ask the warriors who had seen the "old woman", one might say? Not really! Because in the eyes of these warriors, the "old woman" has always been the "old woman", and it has not changed from beginning to end. Otherwise, will the "old woman" be allowed to go all the way from the heavily guarded checkpoints? Asking is also asking in vain. The only thing to do now is to immediately send someone to a nearby village to find out if there is such an "old woman"? That's it.

As for what is the relationship between them, it's simple, as long as you figure out the time and process that happened between them, everything can be understood.

That's the problem. First of all, send someone, go to a nearby village, find out the situation, and it is better to find the "old woman"; Then, go to the relevant people to understand the situation and determine the relationship between the two.

Bai Jiansheng first found Chen Lanwei, the deputy captain of the Flying Tigers, who led the team to set up a card near the pass and prevent blockage, and the commander of the third company of the Tiger Regiment. It was learned from them that five or six bandits tried to storm the card at that time, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, and all five bandits were killed.

As for the question of why these bandits didn't retreat to Yama Valley with the large army, Chen Lanwei and the third company commander couldn't figure it out, probably to attack the east and cover the retreat of the enemy in Yama Valley, right?

Then, Bai Jiansheng called Li Ling, the leader of the second detachment of the Flying Tigers, and Yang Platoon, the platoon commander of the third company, who were in charge of the patrol task, to learn about the patrol situation at that time. According to Li Ling, at that time, she led a patrol group and happened to meet the "old woman" who was picking up firewood, and felt that at this time, an old woman appeared, a little suspicious, so she stepped forward to ask, but she didn't expect this "old woman" to be deaf and dumb, and she couldn't ask why, so she planned to send someone to escort her back to the village and confirm her identity, but at this time, fierce gunfire came from the direction of Yan Luo Valley, and after a while, the comrades of the third company ran to report that there was an enemy trying to break through, and they had already fought with Deputy Captain Chen. Request reinforcements from here.

Li Ling was worried that the bandits would run away, so she didn't think about it, and asked a soldier to escort the "old woman" home, and she brought people to reinforce herself. As for whether the "old woman" is pretending to be or not, from the outside, you can't tell it at all.

Of course, Bai Jiansheng focused on questioning the soldier who escorted the "old woman". Bai Jiansheng only asked him two questions: one was whether he found anything suspicious about the "old woman"? The warrior replied, "It's normal, just a deaf and dumb old woman; The second question is, why not send the "old woman" home? The soldier said that after walking a long distance, the old woman said that it was okay, she could go back, and she would not let her go, and considering that the war there needed manpower, the soldier returned to the army.

Bai Jiansheng thought that if the "old woman" was indeed from a nearby village, then Guo Lian could only stay in the Yama Valley, and those bandits who broke through were just accidents, or tentative actions made for Guo Lian to escape. It seems that the results of the investigation can only be determined when the personnel sent to the village to investigate return.

It didn't take long for the officers sent out to return with shocking news. The astonishing news is that there is only one village near Lang Dang Mountain, and according to the people in the village, there is no deaf and dumb "old woman" in this village. Because of the fear of the thousand-year-old "notoriety" of the Yama Valley, not to mention the old woman, even the young and strong villagers dare not "take a step beyond the thunder pool", and of course they can't go there to cut firewood and hunt. Since it's not from this village, could it be from another village? The answer given by the villagers is also yes: no way! An old lady, deaf and dumb, with limited mobility, gave up the nearby mountains and forests, gave up the near and far, and ran more than ten miles of mountain roads to come here, just to pick up so little firewood, who would believe it?
