"Su Cheng!" Seeing this, Qin Gang straightened up, stretched out his hand, and shouted bitterly to the bottom of the cliff, and a cannonball mercilessly smashed down on the place where he was. At this critical moment, the big machine gunner on the side pounced without hesitation, and pressed Qin Gang under him, "boom", and after the gunsmoke, both of them were silent. Lin Yi hurriedly ran over, picked up the mud and stones that were pressing on the big machine gunner, hugged him away, and shouted: "Big man! Wake up! Holding the left palm of the head, I felt that there was a stream of heat coming out of the big man's head, and when I looked at it, the blood was gushing out, and the back of the big man's head was blown open with a big hole, alas! The person had been sacrificed, Lin Yi couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and closed his eyes. At this time, Qin Gang woke up from a coma, he only remembered being overwhelmed by something, and then he heard a loud noise, he didn't understand anything, he heard someone calling in a daze, opened his eyes, sat up, and saw Lin Yi holding the big man crying, and immediately understood what was going on, so he pounced, shook the big man, and cried: "Big man!" You wake up, you wake up......" Lin Yi said to Qin Gang: "Political commissar, it can't go on like this, we will all be blown up here, let's withdraw?" Qin Gang had no choice but to nod and help the big man close his eyes with his hands in tears.

"Comrades, retreat!" Lin Yi waved his hand to a guerrilla, and the two worked together to help Qin Gang and retreat in the direction of Mawei Village, Qin Gang struggled to turn around, looked at the bottom of the cliff, looked at the big man, and shouted to the sky: "Big man, Su Cheng!" I'm sorry for you! Lin Yi and the team dragged Qin Gang out of the mountain.

Guo Lian put down the binoculars and said excitedly: "Damn! Well played! Well played! He called the commander of the artillery company and praised: "You kid, you are really good! I will now immediately appoint you the deputy commander of the 1st Battalion. The commander of the artillery company stood up and replied: "Thank you for the cultivation of the regiment and swear allegiance to the party and the state!" Guo Lian proudly said to the officers present: "Look at it! This is a well-trained unit of the national army, and you have to learn a little. Pass my orders! Immediately launch an attack on the guerrillas, fight the brave, Lao Tzu will give him a promotion! "The soldiers of the security regiment scrambled to pursue the guerrillas.

Qin Gang took the remaining personnel and retreated to the path at the foot of the mountain, counted the number of people, and there were only thirteen people left, and the enemy in the distance was still desperately chasing. He confessed to Lin Yi and said: "Squad Leader Lin, after you take two people to break off, wait for the enemy to enter the range where the explosives are planted, and immediately detonate the explosives to kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent." Then, go to the Jieyang Pass southwest of Mawei Village, where we will wait for you, understand? ”

"Understood!" Lin Yi called the two of them to run towards the place where the explosives were planted. Qin Gang and a group of people left the Laojun Ao, after a period of time, there were two muffled noises in the Laojun Ao, and the ground under his feet also trembled a few times, looking from a distance, two streams of dust and smoke rose in the Laojun Col, straight to the top of the Col, and slowly dispersed, everyone stopped and took a look, reluctant, sentimental and sad, Lao Jun Ao! Lao Jun's Ao! There are more than a dozen of our fallen comrades there, rest in peace! Qin Gang waved his hand and said; "Comrades, let's go! I believe that one day, we will come back here to visit them. ”

The guerrillas wiped away their tears, put away their sorrows, and marched towards the Jieyang Pass in great strides.

Most of the villagers in Mawei Village have been evacuated to the mountains for shelter, but some villagers still have no time to evacuate to the mountains. Uncle Zhang, the chairman of the peasant association, couldn't let go of his heart, and after settling down the villagers in the mountains, he hurriedly returned to the village, intending to take the remaining villagers out of the village as soon as possible, but when he returned to the entrance of the village, it was too late. Guo Lian and the security team had surrounded the village, and Guo Lian shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers! Listen to me, this village, all of them are bandits, and they don't leave any of them, all of them will be caught in the ancestral hall, and Lao Tzu will give a lecture. "The soldiers of the security regiment searched from house to house, arrested anyone they saw, and after a while, they remained in the village, mostly the elderly, women and children, and were taken to the ancestral hall. Guo Lian hung binoculars on his chest, wore white gloves on both hands, and held his hands behind his back, standing on the altar of the ancestral hall, and behind him stood five or six guards with carbines. The deathly silence in the ancestral hall, and the terrifying atmosphere permeated the surroundings. Granny Wang hugged her grandson's puppy brother with one hand, leaned into her arms, and covered the puppy's mouth with the other hand, preventing him from making a sound and causing death. The villagers lowered their heads, not daring to look at Guo Lian, who was high up, vicious, and gloomy, and the people next to them unconsciously leaned towards the place with many people in the middle, and under the obscenity and gunpoint, they realized that bad luck would come at any time, and fear was devouring the fragile hearts of the elderly, women, and children present minute by minute. Guo Lian brought his hands from behind to his chest, rubbed his palms back and forth, and forced some smiles on his face.

"Fathers, fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, don't be afraid, we are not Japanese soldiers entering the village, let alone bandits, what are we?" Guo Lian walked down the altar, pretending to be kind, and pulled the little dog brother, who was so afraid that he hid on the other side of his mother-in-law, "Little brother, don't be afraid!" Tell me, who are we? Guo Lian saw that the little dog was avoiding him and didn't answer, so he had to walk back to the altar by himself, ask and answer himself, and said, "Yes! We are the national army, we are your team, what is our security regiment for? Isn't that just to keep you safe? Otherwise, what's the use of our security corps? Do you think that's the case? **The guerrillas have oppressed you for so long, and the contemptible people are deeply sympathetic, according to the most fashionable words nowadays, ...... What the...... What a 'liberation', right! It is 'liberation', and today, the brothers of Lao Tzu and the security regiment are here to 'liberate' you. Guo Lian thought that he had said it well, and took the lead in applauding, and his subordinates also applauded. Guo Lian raised his hands and saluted: "Xie Lu, thank you!" Thank you! He cleared his throat and continued: "For this, you have to tell me, where did the ** guerrillas go, who among you is the Communist Party, and where are the other villagers hiding?" Guo Lian looked at the crowd, saw that no one was silent, and added: "Who said, Lao Tzu rewarded him with the ocean!" Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, his face began to be gloomy, and he pointed to the old man Yang Guizi who was standing in front of the crowd and said, "You come here." With a wave of his hand, two soldiers stepped forward, carried the old man to the altar, and left. The old man snorted on the ground, spitting, and turned his head silently. Guo Lian tore off all his face this time, and shouted: "You poor ghosts, you are really shameless." He took out a pistol, pointed at the old man Yang and said, "Don't say anything more, Lao Tzu will kill you!" Seeing that the old man was still silent, he shook his hand and shot him, and the old man fell in a pool of blood. Suddenly, the women and children in the crowd were frightened by the gunfire and the bloody scene in front of them. Guo Lian pointed to Granny Wang again and said, "Old woman, you come and say." ”

"What do you say, I'm an old woman, what do you know? The guerrillas are gone, don't you know how to look for them yourself? The people here are all old people and children, and there is no Communist Party. ”

"Don't say yes, do you? Come! Bring me the child. The two soldiers forcibly picked up the little dog brother from Granny Wang's arms and dragged him to the altar.

"Grandma! Grandma ......" The little dog brother struggled desperately while crying to Granny Wang for help.

"Kill a thousand knives, what are you angry with our people!" Granny Wang rushed up like crazy to snatch the puppy brother. When Guo Lian saw this, he was annoyed and angry, and raised his gun to fight.

"Stop!" An angry shout came from the door of the ancestral hall, and a man rushed in, and the soldiers around him rushed up and pointed their guns at him. The person who came was Uncle Zhang, the chairman of the peasant association. The villagers dodged a way through the middle, and several soldiers escorted Zhang Bo to Guo Lian, and the soldiers searched Zhang Bo's body, put away his guns and retreated.

"Yo! You are not afraid to come and die, what are you doing? ”

"Uncle Zhang, chairman of the Mawei Village Peasant Association."

"Oh, nice! In the Communist Party in the village, the chairman of the peasant association is a big official, and you must know the whereabouts of the guerrillas and the situation of the Communist Party. Guo Lian circled around Uncle Zhang, staring at Uncle Zhang's face.

"Of course, I know it." Zhang Bo replied in the affirmative.

"Then tell me, I promise not to kill you, and there is a heavy reward."

"Yes, but I have one condition."

"! Dare to put forward conditions to Lao Tzu," Guo Lianzheng wanted to get angry, and after thinking about it, forget it, it's a big deal, "Say, what conditions?" ”

"I want you to release the villagers. They are all ordinary people and don't understand anything, and with me, the chairman of the peasant association, here, there is no need to embarrass them. ”

"Alright! Put them away. Guo Lian hesitated, but still agreed to Uncle Zhang's request, and whispered a few words to the first battalion commander, who led a team of people and horses to escort the villagers out of the ancestral hall and walked outside.

"I've already let people go, you should say it."

Uncle Zhang estimated that the villagers had gone away, so he beckoned to Guo Lian, Guo Lian hurriedly leaned over and put his ear close to Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang looked very mysterious, and whispered to Guo Lian: "Think about it, where are the guerrillas going, will they tell me, the old man?" Sir, when you go to the latrine, will you tell me, an old man? With a smile, he used his hand and pointed at Guo Lian. Guo Lian was teased, his face turned green with anger, he grabbed Uncle Zhang, pushed him to the ground, and said angrily: "Okay, you dead old man, since you don't want to live, Lao Tzu will fulfill you." "Ordered his subordinates to hang Uncle Zhang on the gate of the ancestral hall.

The commander of the first battalion of the security regiment and a group of his subordinates escorted the villagers to an open space outside the entrance of the ancestral hall and said to the commander of the second company: "Kill them all." The commander of the second company was a little unbearable, and begged the battalion commander: "Battalion commander, they are all villagers in the township, don't do things too much." "Some of the soldiers stepped back with their guns, reluctant to come forward and shoot. The commander of the first battalion was anxious and said: "This is Tuanzuo's order, Tuanzuo said, there is no good thing in this village, all of them are bandits, and they should be killed." One of the soldiers said: "Are old men, women, and children also to be killed?" ”

"! If you shake the army's heart again, Lao Tzu will kill you soon. "The battalion commander took a machine gun from the soldier next to him and aimed it at the villagers to pull the trigger." Bang! "A gunshot rang out, and the soldiers stared at the villagers, strange! The villagers who thought they would not escape their doom did not fall, and while they were puzzled, someone shouted: "Look! The battalion commander ...... him, "Everyone turn their heads and look, oh my God! The battalion commander was holding the muzzle of the machine gun in his hand against the ground, the butt of the gun was on his chest, dragging his head, his arms were hanging, and the blood was flowing down his chest along the butt of the gun. The soldiers panicked, guns raised and aimed around.

Seeing that the enemy had entered the explosion range, Lin Yi and his two guerrillas ignited the pre-planted explosives, and with a muffled "boom", the rocks in the protruding part of the roadside cracked and rolled down, smashing on the enemy, hindering the enemy's advance. They then retreated to the next blasting point, fired another shot, and after killing and wounding a large number of enemies, they safely evacuated Laojun Pass. When they retreated to the mountains near Mawei Village, they were encountering a few villagers who were hiding on the mountain, Lin Yi stepped forward and asked, "Fellow villagers, have all the people in the village withdrawn?" The villagers told them: "There are still many old people, women and children in the village, and Zhang Bo, the chairman of the peasant association, has returned to the village." "This can't be done, the enemy is coming soon, the villagers will definitely suffer, we have to help them, Lin Yi and the others decided to return to the village to find out the situation, so as to evacuate the masses. When they arrived at the village, the enemy had already entered the village, so they had to approach slowly, looking for an opportunity to rescue the villagers.

At the moment when the commander of the enemy's first battalion pulled the motor gun, Lin Yi decisively pulled the trigger. Lin Yi's marksmanship has nothing to say, in addition to good kung fu, this marksmanship is also very accurate, plus Lao Jun'ao battled, lost Su Cheng's good brother, so he held back the fire, bent on revenge, and now it can be described as "the enemy meets, and the eyes are red", if you don't kill this person, it is difficult to solve the hatred in your heart. This shot directly hit the chest of the commander of the enemy's 1st battalion, and the commander of the enemy's 1st battalion died without even making a "hum". While the enemy hesitated, Lin Yi and two members of the team threw out several grenades, and the "boom, boom, boom" grenades exploded in the enemy group. The soldiers of the security regiment were dizzy by the bombing, and they didn't know how many guerrillas came, so they were so panicked that they fled in all directions, holding their heads and running around, and they didn't care about the common people. Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Yi and the others left the village with their fellow villagers and retreated to the mountains.

Guo Lian heard the sound of gunshots and explosions outside the ancestral hall, and rushed out with people. Mo Tong, deputy commander of the first battalion, ran over and reported: "Tuanzao, it's not good, the communist guerrillas have fought back, and the commander of the first battalion has been killed." ”

"What? The commander of a battalion was killed? Guo Lian glared and was taken aback, how could a battalion fight without a commander? He gritted his teeth and said to the deputy battalion commander Mo Tong: "Damn, how lucky is your kid, how long has it been, and he has been fucking promoted again, okay!" Lao Tzu will appoint you as the commander of a battalion now, and immediately take your battalion to pursue the guerrillas. ”

"Yes!" Mo Tong, the deputy battalion commander, answered with his chest straight, turned around and took out a pistol and waved it, shouting to the brothers in the first battalion: "The first battalion will rush with me!" "Take the lead and rush in the direction of Lin Yi's evacuation.

"Wait!" With a loud shout, the commander of the first battalion was forced to stop, and it was Yuan Longbiao, the captain of the special service team of the Longcheng Station of the Secret Bureau, who stopped. Guo Lian asked puzzledly: "Brother Yuan, why did you stop?" Yuan Longbiao smiled slyly and said, "Commander Guo, do you think most of the Communist guerrillas are still here?" We have run away a long time ago, and now we are just a few guerrillas who have not had time to evacuate, harassing us and delaying time. ”

"Brother, the sound of guns is so lively, why are there only a few people?" Yuan Longbiao said confidently: "Brother, I am 100% sure that it is a few people." What do you think, the Communist Party has spent so much effort, so many people have died, and they are carrying it to death in Laojun's Ao, what is it for? Isn't it just to cover the evacuation of most of the guerrillas and the people in the village and save time? After Guo Lian heard this, he nodded yes again and again, and asked Yuan Longbiao: "Since the communist guerrillas are doing everything possible to escape from our encirclement and suppression, we can't miss the opportunity!" But don't know where to catch up? Brother Yuan, what is your best plan? Yuan Longbiao smiled, approached Guo Lian, and was about to whisper, Guo Lian instinctively dodged to the side and scolded: "Damn! I was scared by the old man of the Communist Party just now, okay...... Alright, you just need to come closer. Yuan Longbiao whispered: "Good strategy, I don't have it." But you forget, there is one person who is bound to have it! Guo Lian looked around, there were some wine bags and rice bags, and asked suspiciously, "Who?" Yuan Longbiao said: "'Nightingale'! Guo Lianyi slapped his head and came to his senses: "That's right! How have I forgotten this man, where is he? Yuan Longbiao said mysteriously: "He is always by our side. "Take Guo Lian to the door of the ancestral hall, next to a very conspicuous boulder. This big stone lying on the ground does not look special, but there is no such obvious big stone within twenty or thirty meters around it. Yuan Longbiao pointed to a location to show Guo Lian, there was a feather stuck in the grass, a small piece of black cloth was wrapped around the root of the feather, the feather was back against the big stone, and in front of the feather was a long pointed stone. Guo Lian said incomprehensibly: "Isn't it just an ordinary feather, nothing special, maybe it's a child playing with it." Yuan Longbiao did not pluck the feather, but picked up a small branch, pointed and explained: "Commander Guo, look at that, this feather represents a bird, the black cloth wrapped around it means that the bird flies at night, this is the 'nightingale', in front of it this long head slightly pointed stone, and the feather and the big stone behind, just form a straight line, pointing straight ahead, this direction is the escape route of the communist guerrillas." Guo Lian praised again and again: "Miao Miao, it is really Miao, it is worthy of being the spy elite of the party-state!" After saying and thinking about it, it is wonderful, and I feel that there is a loophole of "a hundred dense and one sparse".

"What if a child or someone else steps on it or pulls it out? Won't all your work be wasted? ”

"Don't worry, the Nightingale is notoriously cunning and calculating. First, when the enemy is retreating and chaotic, leaving these behind, no one will know and destroy them; The second is that he won't leave only this mark. In the ancestral hall, in the room where the bandit leader works, I also found the mark left by the 'nightingale'. Guo Lian was completely convinced: "The party has this elite, why worry about the Communist Party!" ”

Guo Lian found a soldier who was familiar with the local situation, pointed to the direction indicated by the "Nightingale" and asked, "What is this direction?" The soldier replied: "This is the southwest direction, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, there is only one called 'Jieyang' mountain pass, you can pass people, there are several paths in the mountains leading to the outside, as for the one to take, I don't know the road." Guo Lian waved his hand, and the soldier retreated.

"Elder brother, do you see?" Guo Lian said to Yuan Longbiao very politely.

"Head Guo, hurry up and chase it."

"Yes, yes! Chase it immediately, and never let the "**" run. However, this clue is still bothered by Brother Lao Yuan. ”

"Don't worry, with 'Nightingale' and my group of brothers here, '**' can't run." Yuan Longbiao pointed to several people in civilian clothes behind him.

"Brother, this time the bandit was successful, you are a great achievement." Guo Lian said pretending that he was worried that the Secret Bureau would take credit from him afterwards.

"Wherever and where, Commander Guo is the indispensable attacker. Along the way, Regiment Commander Guo commanded well, fought bravely, was invincible, and destroyed countless enemies, worthy of being the pillar of the party and the state. ”

The two of them understood and tacitly laughed "Ha Lu Ha". After laughing, he led the people and horses to the "Jieyang" mountain pass.

The enemy is gone, and the villagers of Mawei Village are returning to the village one after another. With tears in their eyes, they lowered the body of Zhang Bo, the chairman of the peasant association, from the gate of the ancestral hall, and found two shutter panels, and placed Zhang Bo and Yang on the sacrificial platform, and the villagers held a memorial ceremony for the two old men. After the ceremony, the villagers carried the bodies, wore linen and filial piety, threw money paper, cried and shouted, and saw them off. After the burial, in front of the graves of the two old men, the members of the peasant association stood in the first row, and the villagers were behind them, saying goodbye to the two old men: farewell, Uncle Zhang, Yang Guizi, go all the way. You died for Mawei Village, and we will never forget you. The green mountains bury the bones of loyalty, and the name of the heroes is passed down from generation to generation. Rest in peace! Uncle Zhang, Yang kidnappers.

After a day of majesty, a day of heat, a day of gunfire, a day of overlooking the blood and fire, the sun was tired, sleepy, tired, and weakly sank from the west, and the sky gradually darkened. Lin Yi and the other three came to the "Jieyang" mountain pass, and when they climbed to a boulder and looked around looking for something, they heard a shout "Don't move!" Who? The three of them stood still, "Turn around!" Lin Yi turned around first, and five or six people flashed out from behind the boulder.

"Commissar, it's you!"

"Lin Yi, you're back!" Qin Gang rushed forward, grabbed Lin Yi's shoulder, shook it vigorously, pushed it away, took two steps back, and looked at the three of them from beginning to end. Lin Yi reported the situation in Mawei Village to Qin Gang one by one. Qin Gang burst into tears when he heard this, and said sadly: "The villagers have suffered. Lin Yi blamed himself and said: "We didn't arrive at the rendezvous site on time and delayed the retreat, please punish us with the political commissar." Qin Gang said, "Who said that he would punish you?" You are doing the right thing, the villagers are our relatives, without them, where would we be? How can we see death and not save them when they are in danger? Even if we sacrifice ourselves, we must also protect the common people, which is the foundation of our guerrillas' life. As he was talking, the guerrillas in charge of the lookout came running and reported: "Commissar, the enemy has caught up." Qin Gang said to everyone: "Comrades! We went up the mountain. The guerrillas gradually disappeared into the black foothills......
