The ghost who chased him, when the smoke cleared, found that the damned Chinese had run forward twenty meters, and what was even more infuriating was that this damn Chinese, whose running was irregular, sometimes obviously moving forward, but suddenly to the left, and when he thought that his figure suddenly stopped and should turn to the right, who knew that he continued to the left, his figure was always erratic, and the ghost soldiers who chased him and shot couldn't help but go crazy in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Tianshu had run to the edge of the forest, and Hao Mengcheng saw Liu Tianshu rushing over, and he was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately greeted him.

Look at the meeting with Liu Tianshu, suddenly his body stagnated, two blood flowers exploded on his chest, and his body slowly fell.

"No!" When Liu Tianshu saw Hao Mengcheng falling, he suddenly burst his liver and gall, pounced on him, hugged Hao Mengcheng and rolled forward, and went directly behind the tree.

"Brother Hao." Liu Tianshu grabbed Hao Mengcheng's shoulder and shouted angrily.

Hao Mengcheng looked at Liu Tianshu, with a smile of relief in his eyes, the corners of his mouth moved twice, but he didn't say anything, and then his head tilted, and he didn't move again.

"No, Brother Hao. No, you can't die. Liu Tianshu looked at Hao Mengcheng and shouted indignantly.

At this time, Hao Mengxuan, Shi Qiang and others also ran over, and when they saw Hao Mengcheng lying in Liu Tianshu's arms, Hao Mengxuan's eyes were red, he shouted big brother, knelt on the ground with his legs, and cried angrily.

At this moment, Tang Qing ran over from the side with a gun, and when she saw this scene, her eyes were full of tears, she wiped it and said, "Brother Tianshu, everyone retreat, the devil is catching up." ”

When Liu Tianshu heard her words, he immediately came to his senses, his cold eyes glanced at the chasing devil, and said ruthlessly: "Let's go." ”

After speaking, he picked up Hao Mengcheng and took the lead in walking forward.

After seeing Liu Tianshu and their safe retreat, the Eighth Route Army, which was fighting fiercely with the devils on the other side, also immediately retreated.

Knowing that the Chinese had retreated into the mountains and forests, Yokoki Kazuo stopped his subordinates' request for pursuit, ordered the troops to be gathered, and the battle losses were counted.

Just when the devil collected his troops, Liu Tianshu hugged Hao Mengcheng and joined the withdrawn Eighth Route Army, and as soon as his eyes swept over the dozen or so Eighth Route Army, he heard a voice shouting anxiously: "Captain, wake up, Captain, wake up." ”

Hearing this, his body stiffened, handed over Hao Mengcheng's body to Hao Mengxuan, who was wiping his tears, and ran towards the crowd of the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army, who was wiping away tears, saw Liu Tianshu coming over and silently got out of the way, and when Liu Tianshu rushed over, he saw Zhou Jiangong lying on the ground covered in blood, his chest was constantly bleeding out, and a hygienist was desperately holding down the wound.

"Platoon Leader Zhou, Platoon Leader Zhou." Liu Tianshu suddenly knelt in front of Zhou Jiangong, held his shoulder, and shouted anxiously.

Or hearing Liu Tianshu's voice, Zhou Jiangong's eyes slowly opened, and when he saw Liu Tianshu, he actually showed a smile: "Brother Liu, Brother Liu." ”

"Platoon Commander Zhou, it's all my fault, it's me who hurt you." Liu Tianshu's heart was full of infinite remorse, and he looked at Zhou Jiangong and shouted.

"Brother Liu, don't ...... Difficult...... Over the ......, hit the ...... Beat...... Ghost...... Ghost...... Child...... Zi ......" After Zhou Jiangong laboriously spit out a few words, the divine light in his eyes slowly dimmed.

"Platoon Leader Zhou, Platoon Leader Zhou." The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were surrounding cried.

"Platoon Commander Zhou!" Liu Tianshu shouted angrily, and then fainted.

Tang Qing had already come over at this time, and when he saw everyone in grief, he held back the grief in his heart and said: "Comrades, we will definitely avenge Platoon Commander Zhou's revenge, please believe that we will definitely avenge it." ”

After saying these two words, she wiped away her tears and ordered the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas, as well as Shi Qiang, to carry her wounded brother and quickly withdraw to the mountain.

As for Liu Tianshu, who had fainted, he was naturally carried by Shi Qiang, during which several guerrillas proposed to replace him, but he refused with red eyes.

Hao Mengxuan carried his sacrificial eldest brother on his back and walked in the team with a silent face.

When Liu Tianshu woke up, it was already dark, and at that time, Tang Qing had withdrawn to a mountain village ten miles away from that village with the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas.

After hearing that the Japanese troops had withdrawn from the village in the afternoon, Tang Qing arranged for a squad of the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas to return to the village and help the villagers there bury their relatives. He took the remaining soldiers and guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army to help treat the wounded.

As for the twelve soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who died in this battle, except for the body of Zhou Jiangong who was brought back to the mountain village, the remains of the rest of the soldiers were still left in the village where the devils were plagued.

All this aftermath has made Tang Qing, who has always been strong, tired.

However, when she learned that Liu Tianshu had woken up, she still left everything in her hand and rushed over.

Liu Tianshu looked at the roof with blank eyes, no matter how Shi Qiang persuaded him, he still didn't say a word, even if Tang Qing walked in, he didn't turn his head.

"Brother Liu, I heard that you woke up, how do you feel?" Tang Qing asked softly.

Hearing her words, two tears slipped from the corners of Liu Tianshu's eyes, still looking at the roof, and a deep voice sounded: "Sister Tang Qing, is Brother Zhou buried?" ”

"Platoon Commander Zhou and Brother Hao are going to be buried tomorrow." Hearing Liu Tianshu speak, Tang Qing breathed a sigh of relief. However, thinking that the first battle with the little devil had greatly damaged their vitality, Tang Qing felt quite sad in his heart.

In particular, the sacrifice of platoon commander Zhou Jiangong was a great loss to the anti-Japanese forces in the entire Wuyang County.

"It's all my fault, if it weren't for my recklessness, Brother Zhou and Brother Hao wouldn't have died, they were all killed by me." As he spoke, Liu Tianshu's tears kept pouring out, and his whole face was wet.

Hearing this, Tang Qing knew that Liu Tianshu had fallen into deep self-blame, if he didn't say anything serious, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sober up, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "It's good that you know, if you don't want to show personal heroism, you won't fall into the encirclement of devils." Do you know how anxious Platoon Commander Zhou was when he knew that you were trapped in the village by the devils, and in order to save you, he did not hesitate to order the Eighth Route Army to attack the devils. Liu Tianshu, let me tell you, if you are a man, don't just cry like a girl here, if you are really like this, not only will I look down on you, but those soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who died because of saving you will look down on you, even Platoon Commander Zhou and Brother Hao, who died to save you, will also look down on you. If you are a man, you should cheer up, continue Platoon Commander Zhou's legacy, take up arms and fight the devil to the end, and use the head of the little devil to commemorate Platoon Commander Zhou and Brother Hao. ”

Tang Qing's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Liu Tianshu's heart, his eyes gradually brightened, and then he revealed incomparable firmness.

The Eighth Route Army and Platoon Commander Zhou sacrificed in order to save him, and he had to repay this love no matter what, as well as Brother Hao, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who died today!

"Sister Tang Qing, you're right, I have to ask the devil for this account. If I don't destroy the little devils, I swear not to be a man. In the end, Liu Tianshu gritted his teeth and showed a fierce light.

After Liu Tianshu got up and eaten, in Shi Qiang's narration, he still understood why Platoon Leader Zhou and the others came to save him.

It turned out that after Shi Qiang escorted the villagers into the mountain forest, countless villagers escaped from the village, and then the two brothers of the Hao family also ran up the mountain.

Shi Qiang and the Hao brothers stood on the mountain, heard the constant gunshots in the village, and were anxious for Liu Tianshu, just when the three of them were about to go out from the forest to meet Liu Tianshu, the man who attacked Liu Tianshu escaped from the village and met them, telling them about Liu Tianshu's situation in the village.

Just as the three of them listened to the man's narration and drew their pistols to descend the mountain, footsteps sounded in the woods on the side.

When Shi Qiang and the three of them looked back, they saw dozens of people from the Eighth Route Army and more than a dozen people dressed as ordinary people appearing in the forest, and when these people got closer, Shi Qiang found that it was Zhou Jiangong and Tang Qingjie who came.

Seeing Sister Tang Qing and Zhou Jiangong, Shi Qiang shouted Platoon Leader Zhou and Sister Tang Qing as if he saw his relatives, and he couldn't speak anymore.

Tang Qing's eyes swept towards everyone, but he didn't see Liu Tianshu, and immediately asked anxiously: "Qiangzi, where is your big brother Liu?" ”

"Sister Tang Qing, my eldest brother is trapped in the village by devils."

"What? Brother Liu trapped in the village? Tell me, what's going on? When Zhou Jiangong heard this, he immediately frowned and asked anxiously.

So Shi Qiang briefly explained the situation, and Zhou Jiangong's brows immediately frowned, although Tang Qing had participated in the revolution for many years, it was the first time to face a vicious devil.

Besides, she didn't know how many devils there were in the village.

"Platoon Commander Zhou, what do you say we should do?" Tang Qing asked anxiously.

"Don't panic, let me think." Zhou Jiangong thought nervously.

Although the mountain village is not big, it is not small, Liu Tianshu is trapped in the village, not knowing where he is, and he does not know which direction he will break through. Even if you have to answer, you can't get in touch.

After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that only after clarifying Liu Tianshu's location could they launch an attack to take him out of the village.

So, Zhou Jiangong sneaked to the edge of the village with the Eighth Route Army to wait quietly, and Tang Qing's guerrillas were responsible for picking up the escaped villagers. When he heard the gunshots and explosions of the devils moving towards the west of the village, Zhou Jiangong judged that Liu Tianshu was preparing to break through from the west of the village, and immediately took the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas of that platoon to move to the west of the village.

When the devils in the village gathered to the west of the village and the gunfire concentrated in the west of the village, Zhou Jiangong ordered the troops to fire at the devils in the village, and told Liu Tianshu with the sound of gunfire that someone outside the village was answering.

The battle behind was as expected, but Zhou Jiangong and Tang Qing didn't expect the devil's combat power to be so strong, and what Zhou Jiangong brought over were all old Red Army soldiers who had been tested by the fire of war, and they had very rich combat experience, but that's it, as soon as they started fighting with the little devil, they were suppressed by the little devil's firepower, and the two soldiers died immediately.
