Knowing that the devil had indeed arrived at Shuangfeng Ridge, Deng Guanglai couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and looked at Jiang Jiawu with a solemn face: "Head Jiang, the devil suddenly occupied Shuangfeng Ridge, it seems that the devil is menacing this time, I will go back and give orders to the townships and towns, so that the security brigades of the townships and towns should be on high alert and strictly prevent the devils from sneaking attacks." ”

After speaking, Deng Guanglai bowed his hand to Jiang Jiawu, and together with Director Zhao, who also got up to say goodbye, he left Jiang Jiawu's regiment headquarters in a hurry.

Out of the gate of the regiment headquarters, Deng Guanglai recruited a follower and asked him to immediately inform Dong Fang, stop recognizing people in the Jin Sui army, and return to the county government immediately.

Compared with the coming of the devil, Tong Xuecai and Jiang Xiaofeng were robbed, which is simply a trivial matter.

The Deng family has a big business in Wuyang County, listening to Jiang Jiawu's tone, the Jin Sui army may not be able to hold Wuyang County, if you don't plan early, I'm afraid that the Deng family's century-old family business will come to naught.

What he was most anxious about now was to rush back and gather the people of the family to discuss what to do next.

As for Director Zhao, he was also shocked by the news revealed by Jiang Jiawu, he, the director of the party department, is also the person in charge of the central unification of Wuyang County, if the devil really captures Wuyang County, where should he go, and he must contact the above as soon as possible to make plans.

The two walked a short distance on the street and broke up in a hurry.

All of a sudden, the news that the devil had arrived at Shuangfeng Ridge in the south spread in Wuyang County.

However, Jiang Jiawu didn't care about this, and after the first battalion, the third battalion and the machine gun battalion were assembled, he immediately led his troops and rushed to Shuangfeng Ridge.

At the same time, for the sake of insurance, he asked Zhou Yuantong to arrange someone to send his family back to Taiyuan, Shanxi overnight.

A year ago, he bought a house in Taiyuan City.

Liu Tianshu took the fourth team to follow Captain Du and after they returned to the team site, they rested in the original courtyard, and when it was not dark, he was called to the team site.

"Tianshu is here, you can sit down first." Tang Qing was writing something behind the table, and when he saw him come in, he pointed to the bench on the side.

Liu Tianshu didn't expect that he was the earliest, hearing Tang Qing's words, he nodded and sat down on the stool, and after a while, Tang Jiyuan also came in from outside, he saw Liu Tianshu, nodded slightly, and then began to be busy boiling water.

After Du Qingcai, Lei Ming, the leader of the first squad, Peng Senran, the captain of the second squad, and Zhang Gou, the captain of the third squad, came in, Tang Qingcai put down the pen in his hand, looked at Du Qingcai and said, "Captain, everyone is here, let's start the meeting." ”

Du Qingcai nodded, and then everyone sat down around a long table, while Tang Jiyuan put the water cups in front of each other.

"Comrades, the sudden occupation of the Twin Peaks Ridge at the crossroads by the devils has aroused great attention from the superiors. According to the information we have obtained, the Jin Sui Army in Huyangkou has sent a regiment of troops to prepare to work with the Jiang Jiawu Regiment in Wuyang County to recapture Shuangfengling in the north and south, and open up the connection between Huyangkou and Wuyang County. The higher authorities ordered our Shiquan guerrillas to do a good job in evacuating the masses and minimize the losses of the masses. For this reason, gather everyone together and discuss the next steps. Now I would like to ask the instructor to tell you about it. Du Qingcai said with a solemn expression.

A large group of Japanese troops suddenly occupied Shuangfeng Ridge, as if a fierce shark suddenly broke into a calm lake, and suddenly broke the confrontation between the enemy and us between Huyangkou and Wuyang County, and with a little caution, Huyangkou would fall into the hands of the enemy.

It's just that their small guerrilla force can't play any important role in it.

"Comrades, according to intelligence, the Japanese army has added the 20th Division in the direction of Niangzi Pass, and the ratio of forces between the enemy and us has changed greatly, and Niangzi Pass is very likely to be captured by the Japanese army. The higher authorities told us to make preparations with both hands, and once the Japanese army captured Niangziguan and Wuyang County, the Shiquan guerrillas immediately launched a guerrilla struggle behind enemy lines on the spot. The current situation is very grim, and I hope that comrades will be mentally prepared......" Tang Qing's speech was not long, but his tone revealed incomparable firmness.

Subsequently, everyone expressed their opinions on how to carry out the struggle behind enemy lines once Wuyang County fell. Liu Tianshu had no idea at all how to carry out guerrilla struggle behind enemy lines, so he humbly became a good listener and a good student.

After everyone discussed it, Liu Tianshu had a certain understanding of this form of struggle.

"Comrades, it is very good that everyone has just expressed their respective views, and here I will only mention two points, that is, in our future work, we must pay attention to uniting all forces that can be united to jointly strike at the enemy, and the other point is that we must maintain the independence and autonomy of our party politically." After Tang Qing emphasized two points, he asked Du Qingcai to arrange the tasks of each team.

Liu Tianshu's fourth squad is still mainly based on Qingyan Township, as well as the neighboring Yuling Township. After accepting the mission, Liu Tianshu returned to the station, and set off with the team to Qingyan Town overnight.

This time the devils occupied Shuangfeng Ridge, and they had to make a long detour, but fortunately, it was night at this time, and Geng Tianlong led the way, and at dawn, they finally rushed to Qingyan Town.

Qingyan Town is an ancient town in the Taihang Mountains, about ten kilometers away from the Shuangfeng Ridge, a small stream flows through the town, a road that can pass through the carriage, from the crossroads under the Shuangfeng Ridge, through the Qingyan Town to the depths of the Taihang Mountain.

The whole town is surrounded by undulating mountains, high mountains and deep ravines, and countless mountain villages are hidden in this big mountain.

Standing on the hill north of Qingyan Town, Liu Tianshu observed Qingyan Town under the mountain regardless of fatigue, and he found that the hill to the east of Qingyan Town seemed to be a barrier and a gate, blocking the outside world.

At the foot of the mountain was the small stream, and on one side of the stream was the avenue that ran through the town.

On the north side of the mountain, on the side of the stream, there is a 200-meter-high cliff that cannot be climbed at all.

And if you want to get around the mountains on the other side, you have to take a long detour from the north like your own group.

As for the south, north, and west sides of the town, although they are all mountains, the mountains are relatively gentle. However, there are thousands of ravines, but they cannot be prevented.

Fortunately, the location of the town is a large flat dam, the town is blue bricks and gray tiles, and the houses are lined up one after another, revealing a kind of heritage of time in the simplicity.

Seeing Liu Tianshu looking distracted, Liu Siyuan, who was resting, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Captain, what are you thinking?" ”

Liu Tianshu turned around when he heard the sound and glanced at Liu Siyuan, "Siyuan, the captain handed over Qingyan Town to our four squads, the burden on this shoulder is not light, I heard that the one called Shang Bao has pulled up a team of more than 100 people in Qingyan Town, you say, we are bold enough to insert it, what will he think?" ”

Shang Bao formed an anti-Japanese self-defense force in Qingyan Town, which Dongzi told Liu Tianshu about, and this was also confirmed by Instructor Tang.

Shang Bao is a local, and he seized the opportunity to pull up the team, and his four teams only have about a dozen people, and if they want to work in Qingyan Town, the difficulties can be imagined.

"Captain, didn't the instructor say that? We want to unite all the forces that can be united, since everyone's purpose is to fight devils, we can cooperate with Shangbao, and everyone will join forces to resist Japan. Liu Siyuan looked at him and thought for a while and replied.

"I'm afraid that people won't." Liu Tianshu smiled bitterly.

If you want to cooperate, you have to talk about strength, there are more than 100 people, which is ten times your own, why should people cooperate with you.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianshu took the dry food handed by Shi Qiang, ate a few bites, turned to Geng Tianlong and said, "Tianlong, come over for a while." ”

Geng Tianlong's mother was tragically killed when the devils attacked their village, and after burying his mother, he simply followed Liu Tianshu to join the Shiquan guerrillas.

"Captain, you call me?"

"Tianlong, I once heard you say that your second aunt's house is in the village north of Qingyan Town, how far is her home from here?" Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.

"Captain, my second aunt's home is in Huangshi Village over there, and it's still ten miles away from here." Following Geng Tianlong's fingers, Liu Tianshu saw some houses faintly visible in the mountains to the west. He made a visual inspection, Huangshi Village was at least ten miles away from Qingyan Town, and Huangshi Village was between the mountains, if the mountain they were standing on was not very high, they really couldn't see that village.

"Let's go, take us to Yellowstone Village." Liu Tianshu thought about it and ordered directly.

There are merchant treasure's self-defense forces in the town, even if they enter the town, I'm afraid it won't have much effect, besides, at present, I only know that Qingyan Town has its own people, but the specific situation is not clear, Liu Tianshu decided to find a place to rest first, and then think of a way.

So, under Liu Tianshu's order, the fourth team stood up from the top of the mountain again and began to walk in the direction of Huangshi Village.

Looking at Huangshi Village from the top of the hill, it was not far away, but it took them two hours to walk.

Seeing a group of people with guns walking into the village, the children playing at the entrance of the village immediately scattered and ran away.

Geng Tianlong didn't care, and took Liu Tianshu, and walked directly to a small courtyard in the west of the village under the curious and fearful eyes of many villagers.

This mountain village is almost no different from the mountain village of Geng Tianlong's family, many people's courtyard walls are made of stones, and the courtyard gate is a wooden door, but there are many people's wooden doors have broken out of big holes, as for the houses, except for a few families with obvious good family backgrounds are built with green tiles, and the yards are larger, most people's houses are built with thatch.

Walking to the door of Geng Tianlong's second aunt's house, Geng Tianlong pushed open the courtyard door, and before Liu Tianshu could follow in, he heard a voice asking, "Who?" ”

"Second aunt, it's me, Tianlong." Hearing the voice of the second aunt, Geng Tianlong suddenly choked and shouted in a trembling voice.

Then, he heard a rush of footsteps in the yard, Liu Tianshu walked into the courtyard gate, and saw a middle-aged woman running from the house, looking at Tianlong and shouting with a cry: "Tianlong, it's really you, the second aunt is not wrong, right?" ”
