Speaking of the phone, Liu Tianshu remembered one thing.

After he led the main force of the independent battalion back to the base area, he immediately asked the communications squad to set up a telephone between the battalion headquarters and the district committee of Secretary Xiang.

After all, there are troops on one side and local party organizations on the other, and there is no office on either side, and there is an indispensable connection between the two. After the county party committee entered the base area, Liu Tianshu took into account the fact that the county party committee had many affairs and installed another telephone.

But after Secretary Wang arrived at the base area, he rarely conveyed instructions to Liu Tianshu by phone. Every time something happens, he asks the correspondent to come and notify him by letter, and he also asks Liu Tianshu to sign on the receipt after receiving the letter.

Although he didn't understand Secretary Wang's approach, Secretary Wang was a leader after all, and he was not easy to evaluate.

After making the reconnaissance platoon ready for action, Liu Tianshu personally went to Secretary Wang and reported to him in detail his response plan and some arrangements for the independent battalion during his departure from the base area.

After listening to Liu Tianshu's report, Wang Shuihe nodded and said: "Comrade Tianshu, this escort task is very important, you must be careful, think about everything possible, and ensure the safety of these patriotic students." ”

"Okay, Secretary Wang, don't worry, I promise to complete the task." Liu Tianshu said with confidence.

Leaving Secretary Wang's place, Xiang Shuyu saw him, walked over and said with concern: "Battalion Commander Liu, this time you go deep into the enemy-occupied area, you must be careful. ”

"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Liu Tianshu smiled.

It's just that he didn't know that the day before yesterday, the members of the devil's plainclothes team who were handed over to the custody of the county party committee, after undergoing a righteous and strict ideological education by the enemy engineering department of the county party committee, in accordance with Secretary Wang's instructions, all those who did not want to stay in the base area were given travel expenses and released home, and the three plainclothes who wept bitterly and expressed their repentance and rehabilitation were left by Secretary Wang in the logistics department of the county party committee.

Because the work of reforming the prisoners was in charge of Tang Shui's enemy engineering department, and these devils in plainclothes knew Liu Tianshu's toughness, and they were already afraid of him. Secretary Wang Shuihe considered that Liu Tianshu had made the mistake of shooting prisoners in public, and did not report this matter to the independent battalion.

Liu Tianshu shook hands with Zhu Aiguo and Zeng Wei, and then shouted to set off, and then left Yaping Village with the reconnaissance platoon, passing through Xiaotangba Village and Shigou Village, and quietly left the base area.

Out of Shigou Village, Liu Tianshu did not take the reconnaissance platoon to Pingyuan Town, but quietly passed through the mountains and forests on the side of the town, and when it was dark, the troops entered a small village less than five miles away from the town.

During this time, the Fuyashan Independent Battalion won several battles, and it has long been famous among the people of Fuchang County. What followed was the rapid development of party organizations in various localities, and there were underground party members in this village, and after the reconnaissance platoon entered the village, under the leadership of the traffic officer, it joined the underground party members waiting in the woods on the edge of the village.

When Lao Xu, an underground party member, heard the introduction of the traffic officer, the young man with a beautiful face in front of him was the independent battalion commander Liu Tianshu, and immediately stepped forward excitedly to shake hands, and said: "Battalion Commander Liu, we have finally looked forward to you." ”

"Comrade Xu, thank you for your hard work. This time we went out on a mission in the mountains, so we have to rest here with you. Liu Tianshu said with a smile. When Lao Xu heard this, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to follow him to a courtyard at the edge of the village.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he excitedly shouted inside: "the kid, look, who's coming?" ”

A middle-aged woman, dressed plainly dressed but neatly groomed, heard the sound and saw a group of strangers following her husband in, and her face was suspicious.

"the kid, this is Camp Commander Liu, Camp Commander Liu, this is the one in my family." Lao Xu excitedly introduced.

Liu Tianshu hurriedly said politely: "Hello sister-in-law, we have caused you trouble." ”

"Camp Commander Liu, you are a distinguished guest. Father, let the comrades into the house. When the middle-aged woman heard that the person in front of her was the famous battalion commander Liu Tianshu, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she beckoned everyone into the house.

As the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon, Shi Qiang immediately set up a guard post as soon as he entered the village. Of course, all he set up were covert guard posts.

In almost a year, Shi Qiang has become his right-hand man and brother under the cultivation of Liu Tianshu, although Shi Qiang is not good at positional warfare and blocking warfare, but he is the most outstanding in tasks such as squad raids and reconnaissance and alert.

Stayed at Lao Xu's house for one night, and the next day, considering that there were heavy troops stationed in Pingyuan Town, for the sake of prudence, the reconnaissance platoon remained at Lao Xu's house until the next day, when night came, and then quietly left the small village.

The team had just bypassed a mountain forest in the west of Pingyuan Town, and walked in front of Hao Meng to announce a signal, and there was a situation in front.

Shi Qiang immediately ordered the squad to stop in place, and after a while, Hao Mengxuan ran back with a gun, "Battalion commander, I found a group of enemies in front, it seems that they have come back from a nearby village, and they have also captured a lot of villagers. ”

"Let's go, let's take a look." When Liu Tianshu heard that some villagers were arrested, he immediately pulled out the twenty rings on his waist, and said to Shi Qiang and Chen Jian in his hands.

This is twenty miles away from the devil's stronghold in Pingyuan Town, at this time the enemy has captured the villagers, since he has been touched, what to do to find out.

The three of them hurried forward, walked to the edge of the forest, and saw a dozen puppet soldiers in the distance, as well as five or six devils, escorting seven or eight young women towards this side.

The young women were fiercely forced forward by the puppet army, and they cried and cried in fear.

Seeing that the devils and those damn Imperial Cooperative Army had captured so many sisters, Shi Qiang and Chen Jian's eyes suddenly burst into flames. Liu Tianshu calmly looked at the group of enemies, and after confirming that there were no other enemies behind, he observed the terrain again, and said to Shi Qiang and Chen Jian: "Shi Qiang, Chen Jian, we must not let these sisters be sent to the devil's stronghold, in this way, Hao Mengxuan took the first squad to go around to the position in front to prepare, Sun Bao took the second squad to be responsible for guarding in that position, and Shi Qiang and the third squad were responsible for rescuing people, remember, wait for the action to be fast, don't hurt the villagers." ”

Nearly twenty enemies want to be killed without knowing it, and this possibility is very small. Anyway, it's dark now, as long as you fight quickly and leave before the devil's reinforcements arrive, even if the devil chases, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Battalion commander, don't worry, we promise to complete the mission." Shi Qiang waved his hand and signaled Chen Hao Mengxuan to quickly go around to the front with the first squad, the second squad to go around behind the devils, and the third squad to quickly hide on the side of the road, just waiting for the enemy to come and start immediately.

According to Shi Qiang's plan, the third squad will kill the six devils in the shortest time, as for those puppet troops, as long as they kill the devils, they will not have to worry, besides, the squad has nearly forty people, and it is a piece of cake to deal with this enemy.

Liu Tianshu saw that Shi Qiang's arrangement was clear-sighted, so he didn't interfere, but took out a pistol and prepared to respond on the side.

Six ghosts walked in front with a smile, and behind them, there were eight captured women, who were tied together by the devils with long ropes, and slowly walked towards this side under the push of the puppet army.

Look at the six devils walking in front of the three class soldiers, with Shi Qiang's order, the twelve soldiers quickly jumped out of the darkness and pounced directly on the six devils walking in front, and the rest rushed towards the puppet army who was walking on the women's side and was responsible for escorting.

The devil walking in front was talking about today's harvest, and suddenly a figure flew in the dark night, and the devil who hit the head was suddenly thrown to the ground, and before he could say an exclamation, he felt a **** pain, and then his strength disappeared.

The ten fighters pounced on their respective targets, and the other two, led by Shi Qiang, together with Sun Bao's second squad, rushed to the side of the devil who was walking behind, and a cold low cry sounded in the night.

"Don't move, don't shoot." More than a dozen puppet soldiers walking behind found that countless figures suddenly appeared around, and at the same time, the screams of the devil before death sounded in their ears, and they turned their guns in a panic, and one of the puppet soldiers found that they were surrounded by ordinary people, and they actually raised their guns.

It's a pity that Shi Qiang's sharp eyes have long noticed him, and when he saw the puppet army turn the muzzle, he immediately raised his pistol and slammed it into a shot, which hit the **** of the puppet army, and the puppet army's body stiffened, and then fell.

He shot this time, and the soldiers surrounding the puppet army saw that the puppet army was delusional and stubborn, and they also shot, and in the blink of an eye, the guns rang out on the path in the mountains and forests, and the six puppet soldiers were directly knocked over to the ground, and the remaining four puppet soldiers no longer dared to resist, and as soon as their feet were weak, they knelt on the ground.

At this time, the six devils and the four puppet soldiers escorted had been killed by the rest of the soldiers.

Liu Tianshu saw that the third squad had controlled the situation in a very short period of time and ended the battle, and nodded with satisfaction.

The women, who had thought that they would never be spared this time, wept with joy when they saw that a group of people suddenly appeared and destroyed all these enemies in the blink of an eye, and that they were actually rescued. Under the leadership of a woman, eight women knelt down and kowtowed, Liu Tianshu saw this, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said in his mouth: "Sisters, get up quickly, we are the Eighth Route Army, we are the people's own team, we failed to protect you, we are sorry for you." Hurry up, you can't stay here for long, and the devils will chase you later. ”

When the eight women heard that the person in front of them was actually the Eighth Route Army, the woman at the head couldn't help but shout angrily: "Comrade of the Eighth Route Army, you have to avenge the villagers." The villagers died so miserably. ”

When Liu Tianshu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, grabbed the woman, and asked anxiously: "This eldest sister, what happened?" Let's go, let's talk as we go. ”

As soon as he helped the eldest sister up, he heard a voice behind him, and a woman's voice came clearly, "Don't stop me, I'm going to kill him, I'm going to avenge my father." (To be continued.) )
