The witch carried the gun heroically, and the men in the stockade had different eyes than the old and the young, some were amazed, some were envious, and more afraid, all looking at this beautiful woman in military uniform.

She didn't care about everyone's gaze, tore off a tattered garment from the clothesline, and tore it in half with a "bang", blocking the mouths of both the white man and the Miao guy. The three of them escorted the captives to the big grass hut, and Lin Tao smoked a cigarette, still controlling the entrance to the cave.

Yu Songyuan summoned Liu Guodong through the headset.

Sixty or seventy people in the whole village, men, women and children, all gathered in the small square in front of the big bamboo building in the center of the village. The brothers only fought the bandits, but they cared for their people, and the Miao people knew that these five people were not Lancang government troops, not Miao special forces, not Siamese, not Annan, so they all looked at them with blank eyes.

Yu Songyuan didn't want to be entangled, so he said, "Old Hu, there will be a battle, let everyone disperse!" Go back to your home to prevent accidental injury ......"

Hu Shixiong bowed and said loudly, "You haven't seen anyone from your hometown for decades, I'm afraid you won't care about us...... Ask the chief for a few words! ”

It's on the line!

Yu Songyuan and the witch glanced at each other, and both of them understood, they had become five straws.

Hu Shixiong is worthy of being the leader, how many years have he been living in the mountains, and he can't go back to his homeland, so they have become wanderers. Now that someone has suddenly rescued them from the sea of suffering, they think that these people can help them, so they naturally want to hold on to the five straws.

But in the cave below, the situation is unknown, there must be a fierce battle, and this is not the time to think about these things at all. In his heart, he couldn't help but feel a trace of disgust for Hu Shixiong. But to seize the underground base, you must need the help of these Miao people, at least this Miao village is a way out, and there can be no mistakes, which makes Yu Songyuan very difficult.

In the primeval jungle of Shangliao, there are countless Miao tribes from China's jungle, how can they help?

Yu Songyuan hesitated for a while, Hu Shixiong's wife ran over out of breath and handed Hu Shixiong a small blue baggage. Hu Shixiong hurriedly uncovered it layer by layer, and it turned out that there were several yellowed ancient books inside.

He respectfully handed a few ancient books to Yu Songyuan, "Sir, look, this is the textbook I read when I was a child." We really didn't lie to you, we are indeed ripe seedlings in China! ”

Yu Songyuan and the witch glanced at each other, and had no choice but to take the book and flip through it. This is a few thread-bound primary school textbooks printed in the eleventh year of the Republic of China (that is, 1922).

In the first lesson, there are illustrations, a courtyard, a dog guarding the door in the courtyard, and a cat catching mice indoors. The content of the text is "Cats catch mice, dogs guard the door, people have no occupation, they are not as good as cats and dogs." ”

It is only 18 words, but the connotation is richer. Thou shalt not be without a profession, nor shall he be a wanderer. Dogs catch rats and meddle in their own affairs. The cat guards the door, and it is nothing. There are thousands of people in the world, and if there is a need, there is a career. But there is only one good profession in the world, and you can make a living if you like it. Each of them will be able to do what he can. Distribution according to work, or can move towards distribution according to demand.

Cats and dogs don't understand these grand truths and doctrines, but they can practice them.

The witch also took it and looked at it, and smiled silently. Yu Songyuan felt that he could no longer be indifferent, so he said loudly in Lancang:

"Dear Miao brothers and sisters, please go back to your respective homes with peace of mind and obey the command of Brother Lao Hu. We still have a mission, and after we've eliminated the bandits in the cave, we'll discuss other things! ”

An elderly woman, covered in tatters, suddenly fell to her knees and cried, "My granddaughter, along with the other children, is locked in a cave, so please behave well with the Bodhisattvas and save them from the sea of suffering." ”

Several other women also knelt down, and the whole village knelt down, crying and wailing to the ground. Yu Songyuan and the others were at a loss for a while, and the witch had no choice but to help the old grandmother up, "Grandma, don't worry, we will definitely rescue everyone." ”

Yu Songyuan returned the textbook to Hu Shixiong, "Old Hu, you and everyone get up." The situation under the cave is unknown, and now is not the time to talk about these things. You organize a few young hunters with weapons and watch the hole. As soon as a bandit rushes out, shoot him immediately! ”

Hu Shixiong said, "Don't worry, I will personally take the hunters to watch and live here, waiting for your return!" ”

The Miao people stopped crying, and the team got out, escorted the white people and the Miao guys, and entered the inner room of the big grass house.

"Ghost, look at this big grass hut. From the outside, it was just a big dilapidated grass hut, but from the inside, it was a very well-designed bunker that could resist the bombardment of ordinary mortar shells and field infantry shells. Lin Tao sighed.

This large thatched hut was specially used to cover the entrance to the cave, and the walls were all made of stone, covered with thick stone slabs, and thatched grass on top, which was very hidden. On the ground in the middle room, there are two large stone slabs ten centimeters thick. The design is exquisite, usually tight, and you can't see the clues from the outside. When it was time to turn it on, it turned on as soon as it was pushed.

Under the stone slab, there is a large hole like a well, black and swarthy, and bottomless. Warm wind whistled up from below the cave.

Yu Songyuan made a gesture to enter, and Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin first followed the iron escalator on the cave wall and slowly went down to the cave to reconnoitre. About forty minutes later, Lin Tao came up by himself.

"Ghost, there are two guards sleeping in the entrance bunker, it has been cleared and you can enter."

Everyone went down to the ground together, and the two captives were also hoisted underneath. The deep well is about twenty or thirty meters deep, and there is a horizontal cave underneath. The dark cave is three or four meters high and two or three meters wide. After walking along the cave for about fifty or sixty meters, there was a light in front of me, and there was a huge stone gate. The space outside the door suddenly opens up, and inside is the entrance to a large karst cave.

There is indeed electric lighting in the cave, and the two tall and heavy stone doors, wrapped in thick iron sheets, once closed, there is no sufficient amount of explosives, and it is difficult to blow them up.

The entrance was built into a fortress with heavy machine guns and an infantry gun aimed at the cave and passage. There are two electric lights on at the gate, but they are unmanned. Yu Songyuan inspected for a while, and there were several stone houses next to them, which were soldiers' dormitories. The two soldiers who were playing checkers had already wiped their necks by Lin Zhumin.

"It's lit up here, why don't you arrange a duty?" Lin Tao was a little inexplicable.

"The four of us are on duty here for the past few days, two of them are in Miao Village, and two of them are staying ......here," said the captive Miao Lao.

"Is there still a lot of oil stored in the cave? You even generate your own electricity? ”

"In the early days, the French used coal to generate electricity. When the people of country M came, they switched to oil. A special oil warehouse was built for the processing plant. Every year during the rainy season, the people of country M will quietly drop a large number of oil drums at night, which are full of gasoline, and the light and lighting do not need much. When they run out, they will airdrop ......"

After listening to the captive's explanation, Lin Tao sighed, "Dog's day, the real capital." Airdrop of oil, the technical requirements should be very high! ”

"Technically, it's not difficult at all."

Liu Guodong explained, "Airdrop oil containers are generally composed of inner, middle and outer rubber layers and skeleton bases, which are made by processing technologies such as segmented molding and two vulcanization. The inner rubber layer is based on nitrile rubber, which can meet the oil resistance of the container and the diffusion of oil. The middle layer is the calendered adhesive of the cord, and the auxiliary raw materials with strong adhesion performance, good oil resistance and excellent fatigue resistance are preferred. The outer layer of glue is made of neoprene, which has good aging resistance and abrasion resistance. ”

After entering the cave and walking for about 100 meters, I suddenly heard the roar of the water. It turned out that it had reached the edge of an underground river, which ran through the interior of the mountain and was about ten meters wide. There are several wooden boats tethered to the river, and the water in the river is turbulent, and thousands of horses are galloping, which is unbelievable.

On the opposite side of the creek, a street lamp, next to a row of steps, is full of shadows.

"Where do the stairs lead?"

"The first observation post!"

"Is there anyone in there now?"

"There shouldn't be...... No...... I don't know ......" Miao Lao's eyes flickered and he said tremblingly.

Yu Songyuan still grasped these slight changes. He made a gesture, and Lin Tao, Liu Guodong, and Lin Zhumin took a boat into the other side of the river and climbed up the steps. After walking a short distance, I passed through a stone gate, and two thick stone door openings were open.

"It's so subtle, if the stone gate is closed, won't the observation post become an impregnable wall?!" Lin Tao sighed.

It is a completely artificially hewn cave that extends upwards at a forty-five degree angle. One hundred and ten meters away, there is a dim street lamp, like a ghostly fire. After walking for nearly a kilometer, the lights in front of me suddenly became much brighter. The voices of people were also heard, and judging by the sounds, there were at least three people.

All three of them took out their whispering pistols and slowly approached the bright light. Lin Zhumin walked in the front, he was anxious, if he was discovered by the other party, the person above only needed an assault rifle, and the three of them would be unable to escape.

Climb to the top of the stairs, which turns out to be a large cave. Lin Zhumin quietly showed his head, it turned out that the cave was one hundred and ten square meters large, with a stone table and a stone bench in the center, and three men were wearing only pants, holding cigarettes, drinking and chatting. One of them was sweating and rubbing the oil sludge on his body.

The assaulter Lin Zhumin did not hesitate, the situation forced him to attack!

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party did not notice and was completely unguarded, he quietly raised his whispering pistol and shot two "poofs", killing two people. The other screamed at the same time as his companion was hit, jumped up from the stool, and threw himself headlong at the stone wall.

Lin Tao also followed up with a shot, and with a "poof", he was killed.

The man's cry alarmed his companions in the cave, and a man rubbed his eyes and peeked out of a stone house. Liu Guodong shook his hand and shot, "poof", directly hit the center of the eyebrows, and the corpse "pounced" and fell on the stone threshold.

The three of them examined several caves on both sides of the stone hall according to their guns, and in each of the two bedrooms, there was a woman wrapped tightly around her head in a military blanket, her bare belly and shivering. Lin Zhumin tore off the quilt and checked it, they were all seventeen or eighteen-year-old Miao girls, looking at them numbly with frightened eyes.

Lin Tao told them not to be afraid in Miao language and to put on their clothes first.
