"No! You are the commander of a team, and the command of the entire unit cannot do without you, you can't go, or I'll go, originally my task was to block and cover, so it was decided. Qin Gang said, shook hands with several people one by one and said goodbye, he knew in his heart that in front of a powerful enemy, he would either die when attacking the pass, or die when blocking the enemy on the pass. However, as a staunch Marxist and a Communist Party member who has been trained by the Party for many years, he has put his personal life and death aside for the cause of the people's liberation.

Give up the hope of life to your comrades without hesitation, and leave the results of death to yourself mercilessly. What kind of love is this? It is a kind of revolutionary feeling that is not afraid of sacrifice for the sake of the revolutionary cause; It is a kind of comrade-in-arms who lives and dies together in the war. No matter how big or small, how deep or thick this sentiment is, it embodies the spirit and soul of our revolutionary contingent. As long as this spirit and soul are there, our team will never be wiped out. Hou Liang looked at the figure of Qin Gang leading the team away, turned his mind from his thoughts, and said decisively to Yang Ruping and Zhao Qi: "The two of you take two squads, responsible for covering, and blocking the pursuit of Guo Lian and Chen Bing. The rest of the staff rushed out of the pass with me. ”

Guo Lian and Chen Bing stood on a hillside not far from the guerrillas, both of them observing the situation of the guerrillas with binoculars. Guo Lian smiled and said, "Captain Chen, your people are really good!" Plug all the '**' under this small pass. Chen Bing thought to himself, Mom's! Lao Tzu has worked hard for so long, and he has lost so many people, am I easy, my security team is good, and you are here. Although he was not convinced, to be honest, the Self-Defense Corps alone could not fight the guerrillas, and he also understood this in his heart, so he still said: "There, there, or where your regiment commander Guo can fight well and point the sword, '**' all flee in despair of the wind, and the army cannot be defeated, and the credit is not small!" He gave a thumbs up.

"Captain Chen, you are really good! When I speak, it's like tickling people, and it's so comfortable that I like to hear it. Guo Lian cast an approving look. Chen Bing laughed a few times and said, "Leave the good words for later, commander-in-chief, give the order to attack, otherwise, my brothers in the pass will probably not be able to withstand it." Guo Lian put away his smile and raised his throat and said, "First battalion commander!" Order your artillery battery to give me a fuck. ”

"Yes!" Mo Tong, the commander of the first battalion, ordered the soldiers to quickly set up the mortar, aim, position, "Put!" ......Mortar shells screamed and flew towards the guerrilla positions, explosions continued one after another, and black smoke rose from the positions. As soon as the artillery fire stopped, Guo Lian pulled out his pistol and shouted, "Brothers, charge me!" ”

"Rush!" The soldiers swarmed up and killed the guerrilla positions.

Deputy Brigade Leader Yang Ruping, Deputy Political Commissar Zhao Qi, and guerrilla fighters resisted desperately......

Political Commissar Qin Gang led the team, braving the enemy's bullets and bullets, and approached the enemy's position at the pass step by step. On the pass position, Yu Ning, the leader of the special service squadron, put a hat on his shell gun and shouted hoarsely: "Brothers! Did you hear the sound of cannons? This is Captain Chen and the brothers of the security regiment attacking, "**" is almost over, hold, hold, keep me! ”

Hou Liang tried to rush through the pass. Due to the narrow terrain at the pass and the condescending position of the enemy, Hou Liang's forces could not be unleashed, so he could only pass by a few people, and as a result, he became a live target of the enemy and sacrificed many comrades. Hou Liang saw that if he continued like this, he could only send him to death and suspend his efforts to pass through the pass. The shells of the security regiment continued to explode behind him, and the gunfire on Yang Ruping and Zhao Qi's side gradually thinned, it seemed that there were a lot of casualties, and it wouldn't last long, which made Hou Liang so anxious that he couldn't do anything. After a while, the gunfire approached, and Yang Ruping and Zhao Qi came back with a few people.

"Captain, can't you get over it?" Yang Ruping asked.

"The terrain is narrow, and no one who goes can come back. It seems that we can only be saved by waiting for Political Commissar Qin and them to take the pass. Time is pressing, and we cannot afford to think too much, so tell our comrades that the time has come to test us, and we will resist desperately and never surrender. Hou Liang knew that the critical moment had come, and as a Communist Party member, it was his highest honor to be able to sacrifice his life for the cause of the party and the people's liberation struggle.

"Desperately resist, never surrender." The roars of the comrades echoed in the valley, and the enemy shuddered when they heard it.

Qin Gang saw that the soldiers of the Yamashita Security Regiment and the Self-Defense Corps had gradually compressed the guerrillas to the pass, and the situation had reached the point of life and death. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and shouted, "Comrades! Follow me. "He took the lead and rushed forward to the enemy's formation." Boom", a grenade exploded not far away, shrapnel splashed everywhere, Qin Gang suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground, and his body rolled down the mountain. Seeing this, Lin Yi, the second squad leader who was attacking on the left side of Qin Gang, hurriedly jumped and hugged Qin Gang who rolled down. This hug, in fact, does not have much meaning, but will take the life of one more person, and the two people who hold it will roll down the mountain at a faster speed, so that when they roll under the cliff, the two of them will definitely die. Just doing this, on the one hand, out of the instinctive reaction to save his comrades-in-arms, and on the other hand, because Lin Yi caught a glimpse of a bunch of trees not far from the front and below, if the political commissar was pushed over, there might be a possibility of survival.

"Commissar!" "Commissar!" …… The guerrillas around him exclaimed, watching their commissar tumble down the cliff, but there was no time to help. Qin Gang and Lin Yi rolled a few meters, Qin Gang was magically stuck by a tree with a thick bowl mouth, but Lin Yi was thrown out by inertia, in a hurry, he hooked the trunk with his backhand, his body hung in the air, and there was a steep cliff under him. He slowly tightened his arms, tucked his abdomen towards the shang, hooked the trunk of the tree with his feet, and at the same time exerted his arms, body and feet at the same time, spun towards the shang, got up the tree, hurriedly picked up Qin Gang, kicked his feet, and threw himself into a depression. At the moment when they arrived at the hollow, the small tree that saved their lives could not bear the weight of the two of them, and Lin Yi kicked hard, along with the dirt and stones, and fell into the cliff with a "bang". Just after the crisis, the bullets arrived. Lin Yi and his comrades-in-arms who came to help quickly lifted Qin Gang to the bottom of a slope where bullets could not hit.

"Commissar! Commissar! …… Wake up! ”

Qin Gang woke up slowly, opened his eyes and said, "Leave me alone, hurry!" Hurry up. After speaking, he wanted to struggle to get up, but his eyes were dark and he fainted, Lin Yi instructed his comrades to bandage the wound on the head of the political commissar, and he and others touched the enemy position again.

On the position, the enemy was still firing frantically, and the minutes were passing by the minute. For the guerrillas, this is the shedding of blood, this is the loss of life, this is the contest of wills, this is the baptism of the battlefield, this is eternal life in the flames......

Gunshots and grenade explosions suddenly rang out on the south side of the pass, and the firepower of the special service team suddenly weakened. Hou Liang carefully identified the gunshots and said to Yang Ruping, "Do you hear that?" There are three or eight big covers, seven or nine, made in Hanyang, and shotguns, all of which are miscellaneous goods. Yang Ruping said excitedly: "That's right! It's our people, and in that direction it's definitely the people of the fifth squadron. "There is no time to lose. To seize this opportunity is to win. Hou Liang decisively gave an order: "Lao Yang, after you take someone to break off, other comrades will rush with me!" "Take the lead and go straight to the pass.

Lin Yi and the others saw that the enemy was in a big position and the enemy army was in chaos, and they knew that reinforcements had arrived, so they rushed up to the enemy formation with a shout. The two detachment leaders of the special service team ran to Yu Ning out of breath, and one of the detachment leaders with a bandage on his head reported: "Team...... Team...... Captain, no! From the south, guerrillas attacked, and the brethren resisted...... Top...... If we can't stand it, let's withdraw. ”

"! If you lose your position, Lao Tzu will kill you! Yu Ning picked up the pistol in a hurry and was about to shoot, but another team leader hurriedly rushed up, lifted the captain's gun, and shot it into the sky. The detachment leader glanced at several other people, and everyone rushed up, snatched Yu Ning's gun, and ran away with him. Yu Ning pretended to shout desperately: "You crazy boys, hurry up and put me down, I want to live and die with the position!" Be loyal to the party-state! Loyal to the party and the state......" was carried by everyone, dancing hands and feet, and shouting incessantly. In fact, Yu Ning had already wanted to withdraw in his heart, so he waited for his subordinates to step down the steps for him, and saw Chen Bing prevaricate and pass the test. "Withdraw!" With a wave of his hand, the few remaining soldiers threw down the corpses on the battlefield and fled in panic.

At this time, Qin Gang had already woken up, and the guerrillas helped him to the position. "Commissar! The fifth squadron reports to you. Qin Gang saw that the person who came was Deng Ande, the instructor of the Fifth Squadron.

"Instructor Deng, it's you! Thanks to your timely arrival, the siege of the brigade was relieved, and you have done a great job. Deng Ande said modestly: "Where, where, we are still late, let the political commissar suffer you." What is the extent of your injuries? ”

"It's not tight, it's just a little bit of skin grazed by shrapnel." Qin Gang touched his bandaged head, smiled, and said, "If Lin Yi didn't save me, I'm afraid I would have been reimbursed." By the way, why don't you see your captain? ”

"The captain is going to pick them up."

"Oh, that's it. Let's hurry up and retreat, you take your men to stay, stop the enemy, and then, also hurry away. ”

"Yes!"

Hou Liang and the guerrillas rushed out of the pass and ran into Gong Jinchu, the leader of the 5th Squadron. Hou Liang asked, "How do you know that we are besieged by the enemy?" Gong Jinchu replied: "We were tracking the whereabouts of the enemy's self-defense corps before we discovered the enemy's intentions. ”

It turned out that when the fifth squadron withdrew from the battle, seeing that the enemy did not chase after them, Gong Jinchu and Deng Ande were very puzzled and felt incredible, the enemy obviously came to encircle and suppress us, why didn't they fight? There must be a major conspiracy in this. The two discussed and decided to send a small group of men and horses as the vanguard to quietly follow behind the enemy, with most of the squadron following closely behind. If there is a situation ahead, reinforcements can be provided; If the enemy suddenly kills the rifle, you can quickly evacuate, and the enemy will not take advantage of anything. In this way, the Fifth Squadron tracked all the way to the Jieyang Mountains, only to discover the enemy's major conspiracy to encircle and annihilate our guerrilla brigade. The instructor led a group of men and horses to attack the enemy's position on the pass, and the captain led a team of men and horses to go straight into the pass to meet the protruding troops. Gong Jinchu reported the situation like this, Hou Liang understood the reason, and said with emotion: "Thanks to you for arriving in time, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Guo Lian and Chen Bing saw that the pass was captured, and the pass suddenly opened, like water that opened the floodgates, and suddenly poured out. The two were shocked, "The boiled duck is about to fly", this is worth it, Guo Lian angrily pointed at his subordinates and shouted: "Chase me!" Let go of the '**', Lao Tzu will ask you. The troops chased not far away, and met with Yu Ning and his men who had retreated. Yu Ning was held by everyone, and when he saw Chen Bing from a distance, he pretended to shout: "Let me down!" Let me down, and I will die on the battlefield. Chen Bing went up and pushed everyone away, grabbed Yu Ning, and scolded: "Mom's! lost your position, you still have the face to come back to see me, ran away '**', Lao Tzu killed you. As he spoke, he raised his pistol and was about to shoot. Yu Ning hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Captain, you spare me this time, I don't want to, they forced me down." ”

"Good! Then I will fulfill you. Chen Bing snatched a machine gun from the soldiers next to him and wanted to strafe the few people who carried Yu Ning. Seeing this, Yu Ning knelt down and crawled in front of Chen Bing, hugged the machine gun and cried: "If you want to kill, kill me, captain, they are innocent." As he spoke, he glanced at Fanli beside him. Fanli hurriedly stepped forward to help Yu Ning and said good words: "Captain, it's not too late to ask about the situation and then kill." "Fanli wants to use a delaying tactic to see if it is in the process, or it can help. Fanli is not exactly to help Yu Ning, but also to help himself, who knows that such an unlucky thing as Lu Dao will not be his turn that day? Selling personal favors, Yu Ning will be grateful, and he will help himself next time, which is called mutual use. Chen Bing ordered Yu Ning to explain the situation of the lost position.

"Where did this **guerrilla force come from?"

"Could it be the fifth squadron we cleared? If it is the "**" fifth squadron, with the few remaining people of the captain, it will not be able to resist at all. "Fan Li borrowed the topic to play.

"Aren't they beaten away? How can we know so quickly that we are coming here to set up an ambush? ”

"Alas! This is the magic of the Communist Party! ”

"Mommy! These Communists have really ruined my good deeds. Chen Bing's anger disappeared a little, and the machine gun in his hand hung down. Seeing this, Fanli took the machine gun and returned it to the soldiers.

"Captain Chen, now is the time to employ people, I think forget it, as for how to punish, leave it for later, the most important thing now, hurry up and pursue, don't let the enemy escape." Guo Lian, who originally wanted to see the excitement, opened his mouth at this moment. It's okay, if you don't deal with it now, when the bandit suppression is over, forget if the bandit succeeds, if the bandit fails, then put the responsibility for the failure of the bandit to Chen Bing, who is not strict in governing the army, and conniving at his subordinates to let them go.

"Okay, for the sake of Captain Guo speaking for you, I will spare you from dying today, but you can't escape the crime. I command you to take your men with you, and to take back the pass for me quickly. ”

"Yes!" After Yu Ning saluted, he took people and went to seize the position.

"Artillery company! Towards the pass position, give me a boom! For the rest, with me and Captain Chen, we will quickly pursue the guerrillas. ”

It was getting dark, and the jungle on the surrounding hills was gray. After Hou Liang and Qin Gang met, the team moved in the direction of Liangyou. After traveling a certain distance, I encountered the 6th Squadron that had retreated from the Great Earthquake. Qin Gang looked at the exhausted team and asked instructor Geng Yan: "Is there only so many people in the sixth squadron?" ”

"Yes! That's all. The sacrifices sacrificed along the way, the scattered scattered, and there were only thirty or so people left in one squadron. Geng Yan briefly reported the anti-encirclement and suppression situation of the Sixth Squadron to the captain and political commissar, and said that when the captain Wei Wenshou personally led the team to attack the enemy's ammunition depot and rescue the trapped villagers on the way back, he was even more tearful and couldn't cry. Everyone was very sad to hear this, the Tanliang guerrilla brigade lost a capable officer, and our revolutionary contingent lost another good comrade. Hou Liang led his comrades in the direction of the earthquake, silently mourned for a while, and then said: "Let's always remember him, his name is Wei Wenshou." He died heroically for the cause of the people's liberation. He was a true warrior. ”

The guerrillas continued on their way, but only a roadblock awaited them. The sound of gunfire ...... "da, da" pierced the silence of dusk, and in the distance, the halo gradually faded, leaving a blue sky, and the gray-black canopy here was once again stained with blood and fire, and a cruel battle was staged again. The 3rd Battalion of the Security Regiment and the Tanliang Self-Defense Force, which were responsible for encircling and suppressing the 6th Squadron of the Great Earthquake Guerrilla Squadron, went all the way to the village to search for the remnants of the bandits, while the 3rd Battalion of the Security Regiment pursued the 6th Squadron to this point. Hou Liang saw that the road ahead was blocked by enemy troops, and asked Gong Jinchu, the captain of the fifth squadron: "This enemy army, which unit is it?" ”

"It's not like the Self-Defense Corps that is encircling and suppressing us, their firepower is not so fierce."

Geng Yan, the instructor of the Sixth Squadron, said: "Well, listening to this firepower, I am sure that this is the third battalion of the security regiment. Hou Liang said: "These rabbit cubs, they came so fast! He looked at the sky, and it was already dark, and by this time, the enemy's pursuers had already been killed. Hou Liang hurriedly called Yang Ruping and ordered: "We are already surrounded by the enemy, better than the enemy in front of us does not know the situation of us and their own allies, and thinks that on the opposite side is the target of the sixth squadron being pursued. We can take advantage of this and break out of the city at night and meet at the designated place. In this way, I will take the 5th Squadron and the 6th Squadron to kill from the front to attract the enemy's attention, and you will take the 4th Squadron and other personnel of the brigade headquarters to kill from the right side. The commissar will be handed over to you, he has injuries on his body, you must protect him, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Good! Time is pressing, hurry up. Taking advantage of the night, the two teams launched an attack on the third battalion of the security regiment.

Guo Lian and Chen Bing chased all the way over, and heard the sound of gunshots, somehow, but one thing is certain, they have caught up with "**". This opportunity could not be lost again, and the two discussed.

"Captain Chen, I think we should outflank each other separately, so as not to escape again."

"Okay! Your security regiment will kill from the left, and we will kill from the right. Chen Bing made a gesture of encirclement.

"It's called catching a turtle in an urn."

"I hope this time it will be successful, God bless us!" Chen Bingzuo turned to the sky.

Guo Lian and Chen Bing each waved their hands to their own team and began to act separately.

A scuffle began. The 3rd Battalion of the Security Regiment did not understand the situation on the other side, and would fight anyone who came from the opposite side, and would shoot there wherever the fire was fierce; The guerrillas act separately, and there will be no personnel crossing, as long as they encounter the enemy, one word, it is "fighting"; Guo Lian and Chen Bing were on the left and on the right, and they even shot when they saw someone. This killing, when it came to the back, it had become a pot of porridge, you have me, I have you, people from all walks of life in the vast night, in the dense jungle, can no longer distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, like a headless fly, rushing from east to west. Shouts of killing, wailing, scolding, shouting, gunshots...... Fierce mountain wilderness. Some soldiers lit fires, some lit torches to illuminate them, and the little fires that flickered left and right, back and forth, were like ghosts floating in the night. This night is destined to be a night of murder, a night of slaughter, a night of the devil, a night of hell......

Guo Lian and his men and horses happened to collide with Hou Liang's team, and the two armies exchanged fire. Hou Liang saw that the opponent's firepower was fierce, and he expected that it was either Guo Lian or Chen Bing. "Withdraw!" Liang Jin and the others quietly withdrew after firing a shot at each other. The third battalion of the security regiment was originally fighting with Hou Liang and them, but suddenly there was no movement, and after a while, they heard the gunfire in front of them, and they were wondering, a team had rushed to the front, and before they had time to react, they were shooting frantically in this direction, seeing that their own people were like cutting leeks, and a large area was swept down in unison.

"Lie down! Lie down! Call me. "The three battalions fought back desperately. Guo Lian saw that the enemy's firepower was very fierce, and he immediately became angry, "Fuck! The soil buns are quite hard, adjust the cannon and blast me. "The shell blew up so that the head of the three battalion commanders couldn't lift up, and he thought about it, something is wrong!" "Where did the mortars come from?" He hurriedly shouted backwards, "Stop! Stop! Stop! Give me a ceasefire! Listen, we are the third battalion of the security regiment, you ...... You...... Who are you? When Guo Lian heard this, he urgently ordered a ceasefire, that's right! It was the voice of the commander of the third battalion. Fuck, I hit it for most of the night, and I didn't hit it, but I hit my own family. "Chase! Keep chasing! Guo Lian is like a deflated ball.

As soon as Yang Ruping and the others rushed out of the left side, they were scattered by Chen Bing's self-defense corps. Chen Guihua and He Zhifang of the women's labor team, Qin Xiangmei and Shan Huimin of the art team, and two guerrillas together. They tried to break out of the jungle and escape, but they were confronted by soldiers of the Self-Defense Force.

"Stop! Who? The sharp-eyed soldier saw a woman in the opposite team, "They are guerrillas, chase after them!" The soldiers shouted and pursued as they fired.

"You guys go quickly, we'll cover." The two guerrillas fought and retreated. The enemy pursued them relentlessly, and two guerrillas were shot and killed one after another. The four of them climbed up the hill as the pursuing enemy drew closer. "Ouch!" A bullet was shot into the right calf of the women's workers, He Zhifang.

"Xiaohe, what's wrong?" Osmanthus asked with concern.

"Sister Osmanthus, my calf was hit by a bullet."

"Does it matter?"

"I don't think I can walk, leave me alone, you can go first."

"How? There's no way we're going to leave you alone. Xiangmei said, and left with Osmanthus on the rack of He Zhifang.

"You guys go quickly, I'll break off," the artefact member Shanhui Min followed behind as he shot at the enemy.

The four of them crawled on the hillside for a while, and Seon Hye-min was also hit by a bullet and fell to the ground.

"Hui Min! What's wrong? Seeing that there was no response, Osmanthus and Xiangmei put down He Zhifang and crawled to Shan Huimin's side, "Huimin, wake up, don't scare your sister!" Osmanthus hugged Huimin's neck with her left hand, stroked Huimin's head and face with her right hand, and stopped moving along her chest, a big hole in her chest, and the bullet entered from behind, breaking out a big hole in her chest, and the blood "gurgling" outward, Osmanthus's hand desperately held down the wound, for fear that the blood would run out. With tears in their eyes, the two shouted, "Hui Min! Hui Min ...... "Looking at the approaching enemy, Osmanthus and Xiangmei had no choice but to put down Shan Huimin's body and walk towards He Zhifang. When the two were about to help her, "Don't come here!" A black hole pointed its gun at them.

"Xiaohe, what's wrong with you?" The two glared at He Zhifang in surprise.

"Don't come near me, hurry up!" He Zhifang stared at her, seeing that Osmanthus and Xiangmei ignored her and were still approaching her, she simply turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at her temple, shouting, "Come over again, I'll shoot." ”

"Little ...... Don't ...... Xiaohe. Don't ......," Osmanthus gestured with her palm, "Okay, let's go." With tears in their eyes, the two walked past He Zhifang, Xiao He turned his upper body, always facing them, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed against his head, as if he was afraid that the gun would be taken away. Osmanthus and fragrant plum turned back step by step, reluctantly. Xiao He always maintained his posture, until Osmanthus and Xiangmei disappeared into the night, then he put down his hand, and immediately burst into tears, farewell comrades, my brothers and sisters, we will meet again in the next life, and I will fight with you. Even if I die, I will be with my sisters, with my comrades. She crawled to Shan Huimin's side, held Shan Huimin in her arms with her left arm, picked up the gun in her right hand and kept pulling the trigger at the enemy who rushed to her: "Huimin! Let's kill! "The muzzle of the gun spewed with rage, and the bullet pierced the enemy's chest. Yes, at this time, she is not fighting alone, she is also belligerent and friendly Huimin! She has no fear, no fear, and no cowardice that women are born with, but in her there is strength, some are fearless revolutionary spirit, some are love for comrades and sisters, and some are hatred and anger for enemies.

"Communist stinky woman! Lao Tzu picked you! "The enemy went crazy, howling, invective, and fiercely stabbed both of her with bayonets, stabbing them dozens of times. Then, he went to hunt down Osmanthus and Xiangmei.

The heroic spirit is gone, the long night is sad, the mountain wind is angry, and the earth should cry. The guerrillas, who were only seventeen years old, He Zhifang and nineteen-year-old Shan Huimin, were gone, and they walked so openly and heroically. Their youth, like flowers, and the picture of seeing death as home, will forever exist in the history of the heroes and martyrs of Dragon City.

The enemy is still in hot pursuit, and Osmanthus and Xiangmei have nowhere to go.

"Communist Party girl! You can't run, surrender quickly, we absolutely guarantee the safety of your lives, surrender! "The shouts of the enemy are getting closer. The two looked at the approaching enemy and looked down at the dark hillside.

"We will never fall into the hands of the enemy, come and ......" The two men held hands and looked at each other firmly, "Long live the Communist Party!" Resolutely jumped to the bottom of the swarthy mountain.

The enemy rushed up, fired a shot at the bottom of the hill indiscriminately, and after a cursing circle, went down the hill in a daze.

After a night of fierce fighting, it was a little brighter. Vaguely, the guide identified the direction, and Hou Liang led the guerrillas who had not been scattered, and hurried towards the predetermined location in the northeast. Yang Ruping protected the political commissar, took the few remaining personnel, and rushed out of the encirclement while it was dark and advanced to the northeast. Some of the scattered guerrillas escaped the encirclement in the dark of night and went into hiding; The guerrilla fighters who did not have time to escape were either captured or killed by the enemy when they were found, and those who were not found did not dare to come out for the time being. At dawn, sporadic gunfire was still heard from time to time in the forest, and it was not until soon after the rallying cry sounded that the enemy had withdrawn and the land returned to its former calm. Only the bits of black smoke and the scattered corpses, as well as the blood splattered on the ground, tell people what happened here last night.

When the sun rises in mid-air, the osmanthus and fragrant plums that have rolled down the mountain have woken up. The two got up, patted the dust off their bodies, and found that they were not injured. "It's strange, not only are we not dead, but there is nothing wrong with us." The two of them looked at Lu Shang, looked around again, and finally understood. It turned out that they were not far from the top of the slope, the hillside was full of artemisia grass, but here was a platform, standing on the edge of the platform, looking down, there was a steeper slope below. In the darkness of the night, looking down from the top of the slope, the swarthy place was this platform, and thanks to this platform and the artemisia grass on the hillside, they were lucky to escape this fate. Perhaps, it was He Zhifang and Shan Huimin who blessed us in the spirit of heaven. Thinking of He Zhifang and Shan Huimin, Osmanthus and Xiangmei hurriedly went down the mountain, found the bodies of the two, cried and found two discarded bayonets, dug a pit, and buried her both. After saying goodbye to the grave for a short time, Osmanthus and Xiangmei were afraid to stay for a long time for fear of encountering enemies, so they supported each other and went in the direction of Dadeng. They planned to go back to Osmanthus in the town of Dadeng to hide for a while, and then try to get in touch with the guerrillas.
