"Now is not the time for you to really raise your eyebrows!" Saying that, Hong Yu looked at the soldiers who were resting on the side, and then said: "Only when you repel this devil's sweep can you be regarded as truly raising your eyebrows." ”

Gui Erzhi said: "The little devil has just finished a military meeting, and plans to go to the countryside to sweep in seven days. But if we make such a fuss today, the devil is likely to advance. ”

Tang Xingshang sighed and said, "The little devil's revenge is extremely strong. Ma Rulong was invited to the gendarmerie by the devil, and it is very likely that he will tell the truth about the last ambush. At that time, the first target of the little devil is Xingjiazhuang. If I hadn't poured cold water, the village guards in Xingjiazhuang wouldn't have been able to stop the devils at all. ”

Hong Yu said: "Yes! I'm also having a headache about this. I thought about it for a day, but I didn't have a good plan. Unless the people in Xingjiazhuang agree to give up Xingjiazhuang for the time being. ”

"Give up Xingjiazhuang for the time being?!" Tang Xingshang and Gui Erzhi glanced at each other. Tang Xingshang said: "Brother Yu, you don't plan to turn Xingjiazhuang into a battlefield and fight with devils here, right?!" ”

Hong Yu asked, "What?!" Can't you?! ”

"No, no!" Tang Xingshang said with a bitter face: "I don't think the people of Xingjiazhuang will necessarily give up the village. I don't know that old man Xing Daotian will beg you to pull us all over and protect their village. ”

Hong Yu said with a smile: "When life and death are related, in order to survive, people will become selfish. It is reasonable for Xing Daotian to have this idea. ”

As soon as Hong Yu's words fell, Tang Xingshang saw Xing Daotian walking slowly on crutches, and reminded with a smile: "Brother Yu, say Cao Cao Cao will arrive!" People really can't help but recite the Tao. The old man is here! ”

Hong Yu heard Tang Xingshang's words and turned to look behind him. At this time, Xing Daotian had already walked up to Hong Yu. Hong Yu asked with a smile: "Mr. Xing, it's so late, why did you come out?!" ”

Xing Daotian said with a smile: "I heard that the troops are coming, so I came over to take a look." Is there anything you can help me with?! ”

Hong Yu replied, "No need! They rest here for the night, and tomorrow morning they will drive somewhere else. ”

"This and that?!" Xing Daotian said: "If you come, you will stay for a period of time before leaving." ”

Hong Yu didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "The devil is about to sweep the villages around Wuning County. They have other tasks. ”

"What?!" Xing Daotian was taken aback, coughed twice, and said, "Since the devils are coming to sweep, then they can't go!" What will they do with our village when they leave?! No, no, they can't go! I'm going to arrange a place for them to stay! With that, Xing Daotian was about to turn around and arrange a place to stay.

Hong Yu grabbed Xing Daotian and said, "Old man, listen to me!" I know your feelings, but you can't just think about your Zhuangzi. Even if I pull all the troops over and guard your Zhuangzi. We can't stop the devil's attack. In this sweep, the regular army of the devils alone will be several thousand, and the puppet army will be even more. ”

Xing Daotian sighed and said, "Are we just sitting still?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "Old man, it's not impossible. Listen to my advice, before the devil has started to sweep, you can evacuate all the people in the Zhuangzi! You have you evacuated, so we dare to give it a go here to fight the little devils. ”

"You made me think about it!" Saying that, Xing Daotian hung his head and walked away slowly with his cane down. Seeing Xing Daotian's figure gradually disappearing, Tang Xingshang said: "Brother Yu, he is so old, is it too cruel for him to let him leave his homeland?!" ”

Hong Yu muttered to himself: "People who save and lose land and people and land are saved, and everyone who is saved and lost is lost." ”

Tang Xingshang was stunned and asked, "Brother Yu, what are you talking about?!" ”

"Huh?!" Hong Yu came back to his senses and said, "Nothing! Let them hurry up and rest, and early tomorrow morning, you and Gui Erzhi will take them to Gaomiao Village. ”

"Yes!" Tang Xingshang answered, pulled Gui Erzhi and left.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, it was just dawn. Tang Xingshang and Gui Erzhi left the village with their troops. Soon after Tang Xingshang and the others left, Xing Daotian came to Hong Yu. Seeing Xing Daotian's pale face, Hong Yu couldn't help but ask, "Old Xing, what's wrong with you?!" Are you not feeling well?! ”

Xing Daotian shook his hand and said, "I'm in good health!" It's tough! Unless I die at the hands of the devils, I will watch the devils be driven out of China. ”

"Good!" Hong Yu said: "Old Xing, when that day comes, I will invite you to drink!" ”

Xing Daotian nodded and said, "Boy Hong, I thought about it all night last night. Since the little devil is coming to plague us. We can't sit still! If the home is gone, it can be rebuilt, and if the people are gone, it is useless to leave more things! Today, let the villagers in Zhuangzi pack up their things, let them leave Zhuangzi to avoid trouble, and wait for the devil sweep to end. ”

Hong Yu said: "Xing Lao, on behalf of the first detachment of the New Fourth Army, thank you!" ”

Xing Daotian smiled and said, "Boy! Thank you no need! If you really want to thank me, kill a few more devils. I'll go first! With that, Xing Daotian leaned on crutches and turned around and walked towards his home.

"I will!" Hong Yu watched Xing Daotian's departing back and solemnly saluted Xing Daotian.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Wuning County, the headquarters of the Japanese army, conference room.

Major General Inoue Sadawei sat on the central throne, looked at the officers sitting on the left and right, and said with a cold face: "Gentlemen, the defection of a company of the Imperial Cooperative Army that happened last night must have been known to you. I won't talk about the superfluous. This incident made the military headquarters and division commanders very annoyed. Saying that, Inoue Sadae glanced at Takeo Saito.

Takeo Saito stood up in understanding, opened the folder, and said, "In order to wash away this shame, the military headquarters ordered us to carry out a security strengthening operation in the surrounding villages three days in advance. The focus of this operation was on Xingjiazhuang and Gaomiao villages. In order to maintain confidentiality, the routes of movement and operational objectives of all units will be delivered to the squadron leaders one hour before departure. ”…… After about half an hour, the meeting ended, and when Takeo Saito was about to leave with the other officers, he was stopped by Inoue Sadawei: "Saito-kun, you wait a minute!" ”

"Hey!" Takeo Saito answered, walked over to Inoue's side and sat down.

When everyone was gone, Inoue Sadawei gestured to the attendant, and the attendant walked out of the conference room with a comprehension and closed the door with his hand. Inoue Sadae asked, "Saito-kun, when the meeting just started, I saw that you were absent-minded. What are you thinking?! ”

Takeo Saito said, "Your Excellency, our opponent this time is the wolf. This man is very cunning. Although we did everything in every detail, I was still worried that there would be surprises in the action. ”

Inoue said, "According to the character of the wolf, we have readjusted this operation. Now I'm not worried about the wolf appearing, but I'm worried that he won't come out. ”

Takeo Saito said, "Your Excellency, since last night, I have had a sense of foreboding. This premonition appeared during the Battle of Songhu. Later, one of the squadrons I commanded found a stubborn resistance from the man, and the entire squadron was almost completely wiped out. ”

Inoue Sadae laughed and said, "Saito-kun, your worries are unnecessary. I believe that with the great combat power of our Imperial Japanese Army, it will not be a problem to destroy these people. ”

While Inoue Sadae and Takeo Saito were chatting in the conference room, a young man in a long robe hurriedly walked into a grocery store. After some coded conversation, the young man was taken to the back.

"Lao Xue, this is the information I just received, the sweep of the devils may be advanced."

"What?!" Lao Xue took the note in the young man's hand, opened it and quickly read the contents inside, Lao Xue's brows immediately furrowed, and muttered: "How could the little devil suddenly advance it?!" ”

The young man said: "Last night, there was a company of Imperial Allies who defected en masse, so it stimulated the little devils. ”

"Oh?!" Lao Xue's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you know where the Imperial Association Army of that company went?!" ”

The young man replied, "I haven't figured it out yet. I've already checked it out, though. Saying that, the young man suddenly remembered Hong Yu and the others, and asked, "Will they go to the independent group?!" ”

"Independence, Independence, Regiment?!" Lao Xue muttered twice and said, "It's very possible!" I will get in touch with the independence group as soon as possible and ask them about this. Saying that, Lao Xue reminded: "You have to be careful, the devil has been investigated more strictly during this time, you must not be exposed!" ”

The young man smiled and said, "Old Xue, just put your heart in your stomach!" I'll be careful! Saying that, the young man looked at his watch and said, "I can't come out for too long, I'll go first!" If anything, contact me the old way! After that, the young man followed Lao Xue back to the front, and the two pretended to say a few words of greeting, and Lao Xue personally sent the young man out of the grocery store.

Near noon, Gaomiao Village, the temporary headquarters of the independent regiment.

"Political commissar, Tang Xingshang is back with a troop!" Takayama rushed into the headquarters and reported.

"Where have they been?!" Gu Zhenghai heard Gao Shan's words and asked happily.

Takayama replied, "They're almost at the entrance of the village!" ”

"So fast?! Walk! Let's meet them! With that, Gu Zhenghai picked up the belt on the side and ran out in a hurry.

When Gu Zhenghai ran to the entrance of the village, Tang Xingye and the others were already waiting there. After Gu Zhenghai greeted them, he had just stood firm, and Tang Xingshang had already walked in front of him with his troops. Tang Xingshang smiled and said to Gui Erzhi: "Lao Gui, this is our Gu Zhenghai Gu Political Commissar!" ”

Gui Erzhi hurriedly saluted: "Good political commissar Gu!" ”

Gu Zhenghai asked with a smile: "You must be Comrade Gui Erzhi, right?!" ”
