Japanese planes appeared again over Zhanqizhai. Both planes flew low, almost grazing the treetops. The shrill howl was deafening, and the cottage seemed to tremble. Hovering for a while, it swept south.

The planes flew away, and the brothers emerged from the bomb shelters, scolding incessantly.

Zong Tao's face was pale, staring at the deep sky, and his brows were twisted.

In the past two days, there have been planes coming from time to time in Zhanqizhai. Zong Tao couldn't figure out the movements of the devil. It seems that Zhanqizhai has been targeted by devils. Could it be that the devil is brewing a big move? Zong Tao understands that the reversal of the situation may exceed expectations!

For a few days, Zong Tao received bad news.

The day before yesterday, several baggage trucks drove into Meihe!

Yesterday the sentry reported that several large trucks full of devil soldiers entered the country!

There are so many devils stationed in Meihe City at once? Zong Tao was in a very heavy mood.

Gao Jicheng took a few brothers and did not return to the cottage for several days.

"Ninth brother, the devil is moving too much, do you want to destroy the cottage in one fell swoop?"

Liu Song and Wanli and the other brothers surrounded him and looked at Zong Tao anxiously.

Zong Tao smiled faintly: "Zhanqizhai has long been a thorn in the side of Kazuo Yamaguchi, and they don't want to exterminate the cottage all the time. ”

Li Erhu stomped his feet violently: "Come on, come on, I'm still afraid that they won't make it!" ”

He Dashan also snorted: "The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, as long as the mountain pass and the husband dare to set foot on the banner village, even if they can't be destroyed, they will be put on the back!" ”

Zong Tao glanced at the angry brothers, and waved his hand: "It's all right!" This is our homeland, and we will not tolerate devils running rampant! ”

Yu Wanli groaned: "Ninth brother, how to deal with the pressure of devil soldiers now. ”

Zong Tao smiled slightly: "You can only watch its movements and respond to the situation." Big brother, I suggest reconfiguring the forces. ”

Liu Song nodded, his eyes fixed on Zhang Daniu.

It turned out that Zhang Daniu's squad had not been able to replenish the supply of troops, and Liu Song also proposed that Feng Hanmin's brothers be transferred to Zhang Daniu in two classes, but Zhang Daniu refused to ask for it. He thinks he should make up for his losses.

But now the situation is urgent, and it is obviously too late to wait for recruitment. There were only about fifty brothers in the three teams.

Feng Hanmin said: "Seventh brother, my brother is up to you. ”

Zhang Daniu glanced at the brothers, knowing that if he didn't agree, he would be worried about himself.

"Okay, third brother, give me Class 6."

Chen Ziqing hurriedly said: "Each team is composed of four classes, so let's bring five classes over." ”

Zhang Daniu was about to say something, but Zong Tao looked at him with concern: "Seventh brother, I think this will work." ”

The overall situation is important, and Zhang Daniu is no longer brave for a while. There are too few people, and the battle is a bit difficult.

"Okay, thank you, third brother and fourth brother."

Feng Hanmin smiled: "What do you say, seventh brother!" Your brothers are gnawing bones, but we are light. A lot of brothers are yelling to follow me, but now it's okay, there are dozens of brothers who are noisy in their ears. ”

The brothers laughed.

At this time, a brother who had come down from the mountain ran up to the top of the village in sweat and shouted a report.

A crowd greeted them.

Zong Tao took a step forward, helped the brother, and said softly: "Brother is not in a hurry, take a breath first." ”

The brother wiped a handful of sweat, but he still couldn't hold it back, and reported it urgently.

"Our captain found out the news that yesterday a brigade of devils drove into Songping."

"Songping?" Zong Tao's body was shocked.

Songping is a county in the west of the Meihe River, closer to Wuhan, an important town in the Central Plains, and also belongs to the eastern Hubei region.

The devil's heavy troops were stationed in Songping, and Zong Tao realized that his direction was obvious and he would take an offensive against Wuhan.

Wuhan was the pivotal city of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and if the devils captured it, the Nationalist Government could only be in a corner of peace.

Zong Tao had green tendons on his head, gritted his teeth and said, "The little devil has such a big appetite!" ”

Liu Song asked urgently: "Ninth brother, what do you think of?" ”

Zong Tao judged: "The devils have increased a large number of troops to eastern Hubei, and the target is not us. ”

Yu Wanli sighed: "Ninth brother, does the devil have other plans?" ”

Zong Tao nodded slowly: "I estimate that the devil's base camp will continue to increase troops to eastern Hubei in the near future, occupying all the transportation hubs, and there is only one goal, they want to attack Wuhan!" ”

Liu Song's eyes widened: "Is the devil's appetite really that big?" ”

The cottagers don't know much about strategic planning. Yu Wanli humbly asked for advice: "How can the ninth brother say this? ”

Zong Tao said: "The ultimate goal of the devil is to encroach on China. Attacking the important towns of the Central Plains can connect the battle lines, and China's War of Resistance will face a huge crisis! ”

Zhang Daniu sighed: "The national strength is not strong, and being bullied by the little devils is really a nest!" The devil is really too fierce, the July Seven Incident has only been more than half a year ago, and it has invaded most of our land! ”

From time to time, there were reports from the palace in the war zone, and the cottage brothers knew a little about the general situation.

Li Erhu was a little disappointed: "So, Kazuo Yamaguchi will not attack Zhanqi Village again?" ”

Zhang Daniu glanced at Li Erhu: "Eighth brother, you think beautifully, the devils are going to invade Wuhan, can they turn a blind eye to the riots in the rear?" ”

Zong Tao glanced at Zhang Daniu and nodded.

Songping County and Meihe County are adjacent to each other, but only a few dozen kilometers. There is a devil garrison in Songping, so Meihe is no longer an isolated city. Kazuo Yamaguchi can let go of such a good opportunity!

Zong Tao expected that Kazuo Yamaguchi was now a wintering snake, and when he came to his senses, he would bite hard.

"Brother Qi is right, Kazuo Yamaguchi will take the opportunity to fight back, and he won't give us time to catch his breath!"

Li Erhu smiled: "Who is afraid of whom!" ”

Zong Tao said loudly: "Brother Starling is right, we are not afraid, we are not afraid, we do not hide, and we respond calmly." Kazuo Yamaguchi dares to commit a copycat, and we will give him a head-on blow! ”

Liu Song stared at Zong Tao: "Ninth brother, what should I do now?" ”

Zong Tao said categorically: "Shrink your forces and stand by!" ”

Li Erhu shouted again: "Captain, then we all stay in the mountains?" ”

Zong Tao didn't look at Li Erhu, and said to Wan Li: "Second brother, the checkpoint in the village must be rearranged to deal with the sneak attack of the devil at any time." The cottage defense returned to its previous form. The fifth brother is still in front of the village, the three teams are in the east and the west, and the first team is in reserve. ”

"Yes!" The brothers answered in unison.

Zong Tao looked at Shi Guoquan and Sanxi: "Now, you are ready to carry out the mission. Hurry up and brush up on your homework. ”

Shi Guoquan nodded again and again, and asked carefully: "Captain, the ninth sister-in-law wants to go down the mountain with the team, is it okay?" ”

Zong Tao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but try not to reveal your identity." ”

Not to mention that Bai Ruxin is his daughter-in-law, even her appearance is too attention-grabbing. Since Bai Ruxin has joined the propaganda team, Zong Tao can't be too selfish.

Sanxi smiled: "Captain, please rest assured, the ninth sister-in-law will go down the mountain, I will protect her as an ugly monster!" ”

The brothers laughed. Zong Tao was embarrassed by Sanxi's heartbreak.

"However, we can't sit still, and if necessary, we will strike too!"

The brothers shouted, "But by the captain's orders!" ”

Zong Tao waved his hand, and everyone was about to retreat, when suddenly another brother went up the mountain. is still Gao Jicheng's brother.

"Report to the captain, there is important information!"

Zong Tao asked urgently: "What information?" ”

"The devil has a truckload of ammunition transported into Meihe City!"

"What time?"

"Probably this afternoon."

Zong Tao raised his eyebrows, and his fist smashed down in the void: "Okay, take it all!" ”

Liu Songhu said suspiciously: "Ninth brother, the devil is in the limelight, is it too risky to intercept now?" ”

Zong Tao shook his head slowly: "I expect that Yamaguchi will not be vigilant, we have let go of a lot of devils' vehicles in the past few days, and Yamaguchi Kazuo will think that we are cowardly." Don't take it now, wait for when! ”

Feng Hanmin said excitedly: "I hope it's all explosives." The devil controls the nitrate very tightly, it is not easy to procure, if it is gunpowder, it is great. ”

Li Erhu said with a smile: "The third brother's abacus is very good." ”

Zong Tao stopped the two from being funny and began to send troops to transfer generals.

"Seventh brother and eight brothers!"

"Here!"

"Ambush the python pass, block the reinforcements of the turret!" "Yes!" "Third brother and fourth brother!" "Here!"

"You each divide half of the troops, one group of mines, and one group of east road guards!"

"Yes!"

"Fifth brother!"

"Here!"

"Your team is responsible for dealing with the devils in the ambulance. Don't blow up the car until you have to! ”

"Yes!"

Feng Hanmin remembered something and interjected: "Captain, then we can't blow up the car this time?" ”

Zong Tao nodded: "I suspect that this time the devil's baggage will not be a gun, it is likely to be gunpowder for blasting." ”

Feng Hanmin was overjoyed: "Captain, I know, block the devil's car, you can't move forward!" ”

"Not bad." Zong Tao turned to Wan Li and said, "The second brother guards the cottage, and the eldest brother organizes the carrying team." ”

Liu Song was stunned: "Handling? ”

"Yes, porter. If the interception is successful, everything must be transported by manpower. Wangzhai can't go. ”

Liu Song smiled: "I know, don't worry, ninth brother." ”

The assignment has been decided, Zong Tao ignored Sanxi's gaze, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go now!" ”

More than 200 brothers descended from the eastern slope of the village, burrowed into the forest, and inserted themselves into the python mountain.

It was nearly noon. When Feng Hanmin entered Python Mountain, he immediately sent Chen Ziqing to lead three classes and four classes to Dongpo to watch out, and he took his brothers to bury mines.

Zhang Daniu and Li Erhu took their brothers and rushed straight to the mouth of the python.

Zong Tao and He Dashan lay down on the mountainside, staring at Feng Hanmin and burying mines.

Feng Hanmin dug a few big pits, and suddenly the east mountain came from far and near, and the relay came from a rapid cuckoo call.

Zong Tao's face tightened, and he hurriedly shouted: "Third brother, quickly withdraw to the mountain!" ”

Feng Hanmin and his brothers returned to the forest with a giant mine.

Feng Hanmin said regretfully: "Captain, one was not buried. ”

"It's too late. The devil came too fast! ”

At this time, the sound of cars was faintly heard. He Dashan rubbed his hands: "Okay, let's fight hard today!" ”

Zong Tao poked his head out and stared at the mountain road that meandered from the east.

Soon a motorcycle opened the road, and there were three devils in the car; A large grass-green truck followed heavily, seemingly not lightly, with a dozen devils on board; The back of the truck is also a motorcycle, three devils.

Zong Tao was overjoyed. I didn't expect the devil to be so light on the enemy, but it was just a squad of troops to escort it.

He Dashan lowered his voice and let out a long laugh.

"Brother Jiu, use a knife to kill chickens! These devils, it's too easy to clean up! ”

Zong Tao also breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best, no need to shoot, just capture alive!" ”

Feng Hanmin protested: There is a living father raised on the mountain, capture them alive, and don't raise a group? Zong Tao smiled slightly and said no more.

As he spoke, the car drove up. Several large potholes lay across the road, making it impossible to drive. The devil of the motorcycle jumped down, circled around the big pit for half a circle, and looked up at the mountain suspiciously.

The big truck also stopped suddenly, and a few devils jumped out of the car, and four of them each stood in a corner, and they didn't get out of the car, but they were short.

Zong Tao originally wanted to wait for all the devils to get out of the car before launching a charge, looking at this formation, the devils in the car would not come down.

The devil who jumped out of the car probably also predicted the crisis, and used his hands and feet to fill the pit with all his might.

You can't let the devil fill the hole, you can only go on like this!

Zong Tao got up, fired a shot into the sky, and shouted: "Brothers, rush! "Rush!" There was a shout in the forest, and more than a hundred people came out of the forest and threw themselves down the mountain.

The devil squad leader grabbed the gun in a hurry, and the gun was started, Zong Tao pulled the trigger early, and the devil squad leader lost the gun and fell to the ground.

The devils on the ground didn't have time to react, but the devils in the car shot hard.

Thankfully, it's all rifles. But it also hurt several brothers.

Before the devil could continue to go wild, more than 100 brothers had already run onto the road, and Zong Tao urgently ordered He Dashan to surround the truck. Feng Hanmin's brothers were several against one earlier, and they tore into a mess with the devils.

He Dashan's brothers surrounded the car, and a few brothers led the sheep and killed a few devils, and the rest had no goal.

Several of He Dashan's apprentices climbed into the car. The four corners of the black pressed people, the devil in the car raised his bayonet and stabbed. He Dashan's three apprentices were stabbed in the shoulder blades by a shot and fell in mid-air. Fortunately, there were many people under the car, so I caught it and helped it to the side.

The big apprentice roared, jumped into the car, kicked the next devil, and the brother under the car beat him violently, and the devil immediately died. The big apprentice turned around and threw himself at the devil in the left corner, and the devil in the right corner stabbed a shot.

At this time, the second apprentice also climbed into the car, and when he saw this, he quickly flew out of his hand with a short knife and stabbed the devil on the shoulder. The devil stumbled. At this time, a few apprentices climbed up and restrained a few devils.

One of the devils struggled to pull out a grenade. It turned out that these devils were ordered to escort the car, and if they couldn't resist, they would destroy the car and destroy people. But He Dashan's apprentice moved too fast, and the devil didn't have time to implement it.

The grenade did not pull the fuse. He Dashan's apprentice grinned, picked up the grenade, and kicked the devil. The other apprentices were unrelenting, and stabbed the knife into the devil's body.

There are more than a dozen devils left.

Zong Tao climbed into the car and saw a cart full of packaging bags, one of which was cut by a knife, and yellow crystals were emitted from the hole. Zong Tao was overjoyed and shouted to Feng Hanmin: "Third brother, congratulations, all of them are the best TNT explosives!" "TNT explosives are only seen by Zong Tao. Although Feng Hanmin didn't know it, he was overjoyed when he heard about its power.

"Okay, so many explosives, enough for devils!" Zong Tao immediately ordered the explosives to be unloaded and moved to the mountains. Zong Taowei ordered the team to close, Li Erhu was still unsatisfied, and shouted that he was wronged.

It turned out that the sound of the python was not in a hurry, the devils in the turret ignored it, and Zhang Daniu's team did not encounter the devils.

More than a dozen tons of explosives, and the cottage brothers each carried a few bags, and they moved about the same. Liu Song brought the teacher to the township and finished it.

The explosives were moved into the big cave of the cottage, and Zong Tao strictly ordered them to guard it.

With this batch of explosives, Zong Tao was also very happy. Zhanqi Village uses it, it is really like a tiger with wings!
