Chapter Twenty-Four: A Reluctant Request

Sitting under a big tree at the top of Niuwei Peak, Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang drank cold water from a military kettle while drinking the wowotou that had already become cold.

This military kettle was accidentally picked up in the forest last night.

When the little devil carried away the Japanese soldiers who were killed, there were still some scattered little things that he did not pick up, and this kettle was one of them.

"Brother Tianshu, do you think the little devil will catch up?" Shi Qiang took a sip of water, looked at the misty mountains and forests in the distance, and asked a little nervously.

Last night was the first time Shi Qiang fought with the little devil, and it was also the first time he saw someone who talked and laughed with him, and he fell in front of him in a blink of an eye.

You must know that last night he and Liu Tianshu were fighting with the enemy in the dense forest, and the little devil's 38 big cover did not play its best performance in the dense forest, and the little devil was not good at night battles in the jungle, so he suffered a big loss. I grew up in the mountains and forests since I was a child, and I fought with the little devils in the woods, which was like a fish in water.

It is Brother Tianshu, during this time, he and his father hunted in the mountains, and the skills of moving in the forest were also mastered.

And Liu Blacksmith and Zhao Dahai, because they were face-to-face with the little devils, naturally the casualties were amazing.

If he confronts the little devil during the day, Shi Qiang still has some drums in his heart.

After all, the marksmanship and military literacy of the little devils are not comparable to those of them who have not undergone formal training.

"It's hard to say, but, according to normal reasoning, the little devils probably wouldn't have thought that we had crossed that avenue, and if they thought we were still in the mountains and forests over there, if they wanted to catch us, they would block the mountain pass below." Liu Tianshu pointed to the small mountain pass at the foot of the opposite mountain and said.

They came out of that little pass last night.

While the two were talking and eating, they saw a team suddenly running on the road down the mountain, and when the team reached the mountain pass, some of them immediately stopped where they were, and then quickly repaired the fortifications, while the rest of the people ran along the road to the other end.

"Devil, Brother Tianshu." The sharp-eyed Shi Qiang had already seen that the person at the foot of the mountain in the distance was a little devil wearing a yellow military uniform.

Liu Tianshu also saw the situation on the other side clearly, and after finding that the little devil was blocking the mountains and forests around Tuanshigou, he couldn't help but secretly scream a fluke.

If you don't come out of that mountain pass last night, I'm afraid that these people will be blocked in the mountain.

It's just that he was a little surprised, the little devil in Songyang Town was a squadron at best, how could there be so many troops to block the mountains and forests opposite.

At this time, Liu Blacksmith and the others also saw the devils under the mountain, and after a few people looked solemn, they walked aside and discussed in a low voice.

After a while, Zhao Dahai and Blacksmith Liu walked over.

"Tianshu, fortunately I listened to your words last night, otherwise, we would all be blocked in the opposite mountain." Blacksmith Liu looked at Liu Tianshu with some emotion and said.

"Uncle Liu, don't say that, but, Uncle Liu, although we jumped out of the encirclement of devils, our losses are not small. If the little devil finds out our whereabouts, we won't be able to stop it if we catch up with us. I don't think it's a good place to stay for long. Liu Tianshu said with some concern.

Blacksmith Liu listened to Liu Tianshu's words, but he and Zhao Dahai looked at each other, and it seemed that Zhao Dahai had something to say.

Zhao Dahai glanced at Liu Tianshu with a complicated expression, and said in a slow tone: "Tianshu, you are right, you can't stay here for a long time, Captain Wu has decided to evacuate immediately." Tianshu, I have a reluctant request with your Uncle Liu, I don't know if you can agree? ”

Hearing his words, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but be stunned, and then replied: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Liu, you still don't know about me?" Tell me what you want. ”

"Tianshu, you also know that the task given to us by the superiors is to safely escort Captain Wu and his party to Shanxi, last night we exchanged fire with the little devils, sacrificed a lot of comrades, we can no longer divide the manpower to pick up Xiaomei and them, I want to ask you and Qiangzi to run a trip, and strive to pick up Xiaomei and them safely. Especially Liu Hai and Liu Juan, I'm worried that the little devil will poison them after he knows your Uncle Liu's identity. Zhao Dahai said with some embarrassment.

He and Liu Blacksmith are both underground parties, since the superiors have given an order, even if they lose their lives, they must do their best to complete it, but now this team can't leave them, and they can only entrust Liu Tianshu to take over the affairs of Zhao Xiaomei and Liu Juan.

Last night, the little devil brought the bodies of those sacrificed comrades-in-arms back to Songyang, and it is difficult to guarantee that the little devil will not find out the identity of Liu Blacksmith, and there is also Fu Dazhuang's son Fu Jinyang, who is only fourteen years old this year, and after Fu Dazhuang died last night, he became an orphan.

If Fu Jinyang can't be rescued, Blacksmith Liu feels ashamed of his comrades.

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Liu, leave this matter to me and Qiangzi, we will definitely take them out." Liu Tianshu's eyes were firm, and he nodded and said.

"Okay, after you take them out, go directly to Qingfeng Temple in Wuyang County to find us." When Blacksmith Liu heard that Liu Tianshu agreed, he immediately showed gratitude on his face and said to Liu Tianshu in a low voice.

From here to Wuyang County, it is at least 400 kilometers, and Blacksmith Liu can't tell Liu Tianshu the contact points along the way.

It's just that in this way, Liu Tianshu's pressure can be imagined.

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, Liu Tie, we'll see you in Wuyang." Liu Tianshu swallowed the nest head in his hand, glanced at the teachers and students who were packing their luggage, and quickly got into the mountains and forests with Shi Qiang.

Jiang Jiawan's two sons and his sister Jiang Meijuan were still staying in the mountains to the west with Zhao Xiaomei, waiting for him to pick them up, and he had to rush there in front of the little devils.

After Zhao Dahai and Blacksmith Liu saw the two disappear, after a while, they turned around and joined Wu Jianfei.

Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang walked northwest from the forest, and suddenly, Liu Tianshu's afterglow glanced at the mountain pass below and found that the little devils seemed to be gathering troops, and many devils turned their eyes to this side.

Suddenly, a sense of foreboding came over me.

"Hadron go, let's go over there and have a look."

The little devil set up an ambush in Tuanshigou like an unpredictable prophet, which made Liu Tianshu have doubts in his heart, and at this time, the abnormal behavior of the little devil increased the suspicion in his heart even more.

After Shi Qiang followed Liu Tianshu back to the road in the mountain last night, he immediately walked slowly down the mountain along the trail.

At this time, more than 20 devils who had completed the assembly at the foot of the mountain had begun to walk towards this side of the mountain forest, and on the avenues on the other two sides, there were constantly devils gathering towards this side.

It seems that the little devil seems to have known that Wu Jianfei and they fled to this side of the mountain.

After walking in the forest for a while, Shi Qiang suddenly pointed to a broken branch and said to Liu Tianshu: "Brother Tianshu, look here." ”

Liu Tianshu took a closer look, it was a branch that looked like it had been broken by someone accidentally, but when he looked closely, he found that there were two leaves in it, but they were torn in half.

If you don't look closely, you will definitely think that it was inadvertently broken by a person walking by.

The two walked down the trail for about ten meters and found another broken branch.

After walking down a hundred meters, five branches with this kind of broken branches were found, and although the branches were of different types, there were traces of the leaves being torn off.

Liu Tianshu's face became more and more ugly, and he saw that the devil at the foot of the mountain had begun to enter the woods, he grabbed Shi Qiang, and said Let's go, the two walked up along the road, and when they reached a fork in the road, Liu Tianshu quickly called Shi Qiang and whispered a few words to him, and he walked up along the road of the mountain last night, while Shi Qiang walked diagonally to the upper right from another path.

Just after walking for a while, Shi Qiang broke off the branch and began to make marks as such.

Liu Tianshu eliminated those marks along the trail, walked all the way up, until he broke up with Zhao Dahai and them, and then followed the direction they walked, erased the marks on the side of the road about five hundred meters, and immediately turned to the right, passing through the woods to meet Shi Qiang.

Although it has been determined that there are spies in Wu Jianfei's team, it is impossible for him to catch up and warn, what he can do now is to erase the marks as much as possible, and at the same time make false marks to mislead the devils.

As long as the little devil is dragged for a while, Wu Jianfei and they will be able to get rid of the pursuit of the little devil.

After all, if you walk fifty miles further southwest, you will get out of the occupied area of the little devils, and it will be very difficult for the little devils to catch up with them at that time.

As for the spies hidden in the team, there will be an opportunity to investigate them in the future.

At present, the most important thing is to get ahead of the devil and pick up Zhao Xiaomei, Liu Juan and Fu Jinyang.

Three hours later, Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang met, and the two no longer made marks, but sped up and ran towards the place where Zhao Xiaomei was hiding.

Zhao Xiaomei and Jiang Meijuan, as well as Jiang Jiawan's sons Jiang Jinlong and Jiang Jinhu, are hiding in a place called Zhaojiashan in the southwest of Songyang Town, this Zhaojiashan is located in the dense mountain forest, but there are only four or five households, but it is not even a village.

When Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang arrived, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and when they saw Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang, Zhao Xiaomei's eyes showed surprise.

"Brother Tianshu, where are my fathers?" According to the original arrangement, after Blacksmith Liu picked up Wu Jianfei and them, he had to pass not far from Zhaojiashan, but the scheduled time was to arrive in the morning.

"Xiaomei, you guys quickly clean up, let's leave here immediately, we met the devil last night, your father and Uncle Liu have already left in advance." Liu Tianshu saw Zhao Xiaomei's worried expression, and he didn't care about explaining, but said directly.

"Encounter a devil? Is my dad okay? Hearing that she had encountered the little devil, Zhao Xiaomei's face suddenly changed.

"Your father and Uncle Liu are fine, but we sacrificed thirteen people. I'll tell you about the details on the road. We can't stay here for long, and we have to rush to Shiqiao Village to pick up Liu Hai and Liu Juan. Liu Tianshu said a little tiredly.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaomei didn't say much, but quickly left Zhaojiashan with Jiang Meijuan and a few others.
