"Instructor, we gave up Shiquan Town, so weren't we and Captain Du separated by devils?" Originally, there were not many people in the Shiquan anti-Japanese guerrillas, but now they are divided into two, how can they fight against the devils with only about 20 people?

"Well, this is also something that can't be helped, Tianshu, you don't know, after the devil occupied Shuangfeng Ridge, he immediately built a fortification base in Shuangfeng Ridge, and at the same time, along the avenue east of Shuangfeng Ridge, he captured Shiquan Town all the way, and opened up the connection with the devils who attacked Wuyang County, and now Wuyang County has fallen into the hands of devils. The next step of the devil will definitely strengthen the control of the surrounding areas and traffic arteries of Wuyang County. Captain Du's area of activity is in the area of Longtian Town, and we are in the area of Qingyan Town, as long as we control these two directions, we can threaten the communication line from Huyangkou to Wuyang County at the same time. It's a pity that our strength is too small, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army is currently operating in the north, so we can only rely on ourselves here. Tang Jiyuan explained on the side.

Shiquan Town can be said to be the gateway to the south of Wuyang County, and it is just on the traffic artery from Huyangkou to Wuyang County through Shuangfeng Ridge. After Du Qingcai and Tang Qing asked their superiors for instructions, they had to temporarily give up their public activities around Shiquan Town.

"You know the situation, tell me about your situation here." Tang Qing looked at Liu Tianshu a little tiredly.

After Liu Tianshu finished talking about the situation, Tang Qing nodded and said, "Tianshu, it is really not easy for you to not only strike at the enemy but also strengthen yourself in such a short period of time. The devil has suffered such a big loss in Qingyan Town, I don't think he will give up. In this way, I am more familiar with the situation here, and I personally went to the merchant fort. Tianjiacun and Zhujiazhuang went on a trip to try to persuade them to join forces with us to fight the enemy. As for the task of saving people, I will leave it to you and Comrade Ji Yuan, and I will leave the third squad to you. ”

Tang Qing heard Liu Tianshu say that Liu Siyuan had taken people to the merchant fort, and he was a little worried, afraid that Liu Siyuan and the people in the merchant fort would have a conflict, so after quickly making a decision. So he took four people and hurried to the merchant fort.

After Liu Tianshu saw Tang Qing and the others leave Huangshi Village, he looked at Tang Jiyuan: "Deputy Captain Tang." The instructor has given us the task of saving people, you are the vice captain, what do you say next? ”

When Zhang Gouyu heard this, his eyes also looked at Tang Jiyuan.

Tang Jiyuan had a good understanding of Liu Tianshu's ability to command wars. Knowing to talk about war. The two Tang Jiyuan combined are not as good as him. Hearing Liu Tianshu's words, he immediately raised his hand and patted Liu Tianshu's shoulder.

"Tianshu, look at what you said, who is with you and me, when it comes to fighting, you are better than me, I think this time to save people is still based on you, and Captain Zhang and I will fully cooperate. What do you think? ”

When Liu Tianshu reported on his work just now, Zhang Gou learned that Liu Tianshu and the others had eliminated at least twenty devils in Qingyan Town. was already so shocked that his eyes almost rolled out. Now the instructor has given them the task of saving people, and when he hears the deputy captain say this, he has no way of disagreeing.

"Yes, Captain Tianshu, Captain Tang has spoken, you can't be modest, I promise you, our third squad will obey the order."

Seeing that both of them expressed their attitudes like this, Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said, "Since the two of you said so, then let's all do it together." ”

Since he decided to save people, Liu Tianshu immediately asked Shi Qiang to inform the soldiers of the second squad except for returning to Shangbao to return to the team.

When it was dark, Liu Tianshu, Tang Jiyuan, and Zhang Gouyu took the third and fourth teams, a total of twenty-four people, to the outside of Qingyan Town.

Because the last time Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang attacked the devil's outpost fortifications outside the north gate, thinking that the devil would definitely strengthen the strength here, after discussing it, the three of them decided to let Zhang Gouyu's third squad feint to attack the south gate and attract the devil's troops.

The south side of the town faces mountains and forests, and the terrain is complicated, judging from the reconnaissance during the day, there are only twelve devils guarding the gate of the town in the south, and it is far away from the mobile troops of the devils.

Outside the south gate, Zhang Gouyu took his three squads and ambushed them outside the south gate to prepare for a feint, while Liu Tianshu and Tang Jiyuan led the fourth squad of thirteen people, under the leadership of Lin Hua and Xie Fei, along the stream, and quietly touched the west corner of the town.

Lin Hua and Xie Fei are both locals and are very familiar with the terrain of Qingyan Town, especially Xie Fei, who once followed his father to the town office to build a warehouse.

When they arrived at the stone wall of the town, seeing that there was nothing unusual around, Lin Hua and Xie Fei immediately squatted, Shi Qiang and Hao Mengxuan stepped on the shoulders of the two, and their bodies slowly rose, and when Lin Hua and Xie Fei stood up straight, Shi Qiang and Hao Mengxuan's raised hands were worthy of climbing the wall.

Then Shi Qiang and Hao Mengxuan grabbed the wall with both hands, slowly moved up, and then climbed up, and after a while, two ropes fell from the wall, Liu Tianshu and others grabbed the ropes, and in a blink of an eye, they climbed onto the stone wall and entered the town.

Because Lin Hua and Xie Fei led the way, the group took advantage of the night to quickly arrive on the roof of a house behind the town office.

As for the people of this family, they had already been tied up and gagged by Liu Tianshu and tied to a wooden pillar.

Xie Fei pointed to a corner and said, "Captain, that's the grain warehouse of the town office, and those two are the vents of the warehouse." ”

Liu Tianshu could only see the approximate location of the vents in the dark night, and he estimated that the two vents were at least three zhang high from the ground, but the location of these two vents was very secret, if it wasn't for Xie Fei's guidance, ordinary people wouldn't have noticed it at all.

This warehouse was built at the back of the town office, and there was a high roof on it, just blocking the view of the devil's machine-gun fire from the heights.

However, according to Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang's reconnaissance, the devil's patrol team would walk along an alley every ten minutes.

"Hadron can you climb up?" Liu Tianshu pointed to the vent opposite.

"No problem, Brother Tianshu, look at me." Shi Qiang glanced at the location of the vent, turned his head and whispered to Liu Tianshu.

"Okay, but, Hadron, you only have five minutes." Liu Tianshu said in a low voice.

Although the devil's patrol passes by here every ten minutes, this alley is nearly fifty meters long, and the real safe time is only seven or eight minutes.

After the devil's patrol left the alley, Liu Tianshu turned his head and whispered to Shi Qiang, who was ready, "Action." ”

Hao Mengxuan and Lin Hua immediately stretched out a thin wooden stick from the roof, and put it diagonally under the vent from the top of the alley, and at the same time the two of them held it hard, Shi Qiang wrapped a rope around his waist, hugged the wooden stick and quickly climbed to the opposite side, and after a while, he arrived under the vent, Shi Qiang grabbed the gap in the outer wall of the warehouse with one hand, supported the top of the wooden stick with the other, and slowly stood up straight, and then the hand above slowly moved up to the vent, and immediately grabbed the force, and his body rose quickly, and he climbed to the vent in a blink of an eye.

The vents in the warehouse are ninety centimeters square, just enough for one person to pass through.

After receiving the signal from Shi Qiang, Lin Hua and Hao Mengxuan immediately took back the thin wooden stick, and as soon as they put the wooden stick and squatted down, the footsteps of the devil patrol team sounded in the alley.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, the devil's patrol finally disappeared at the end of the alley, and then Shi Qiang sent a signal that he could pass. Liu Tianshu, Lin Hua, Xie Fei and Hao Mengxuan immediately grabbed the suspended rope and quickly climbed up towards the vent.

As soon as the four of them climbed into the vent, the devil's patrol came.

Tang Jiyuan's heart was lowered when he saw the last figure disappear into the vent.

After Liu Tianshu and the others entered the warehouse through the vent, Lin Hua carefully took out the tools on his body and began to disassemble the bricks around the vent.

This vent can only allow one person to drill through, and when the rescue is successful, these people will have to get out of here, if the hole is not made bigger, once the devil finds out, everyone is blocked inside, it will be very bad.

After leaving Lin Hua behind, Liu Tianshu, Shi Qiang and Hao Mengxuan, under the leadership of Xie Fei, carefully descended from the beam of the warehouse to the ground, and walked to the door to the right side against the corner of the wall, and heard a groan in the room next to them.

"Captain, they're really locked up here." Xie Fei listened carefully and heard the voice in the room next to him was the voice of his former comrade-in-arms, a member of the Self-Defense Force.

Seeing that Xie Fei was a little excited, Liu Tianshu hurriedly pulled it and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, calm down." ”

When Xie Fei heard Liu Tianshu's words, he couldn't help but blush, fortunately it was night, and others didn't find out.

Liu Tianshu cautiously approached the door, took a look through the gap, and found that there were two devil soldiers standing outside the door, and at this time, the 38 big cover with bayonets was walking around from time to time, and not far away, there were still a few devils walking around in the courtyard from time to time.

It seems that this Yoshino's vigilance is quite high, and the yard has also strengthened its vigilance.

Finding that the devil only paid attention to the outside, Liu Tianshu said in a low voice: "I'll keep an eye on it, you guys do it." ”

After speaking, he pointed his gun at the door, his eyes fixed on the devil's movements.

Xie Fei and Hao Mengxuan immediately took out the tools on their backs at this time and began to dig holes in the wall on the right side.

Of course, in order not to alarm the devil with the noise, they chose a very far back position, and also took out two water bags from their bodies, and poured water on the wall from time to time.

The walls in the middle of the warehouse were made of green bricks and lime, and with the help of Shi Qiang, the two quickly peeled off the smear layer on the wall, and then used a knife to remove the lime between the brick joints, and after about ten minutes, the first brick was carefully removed.

As the first brick is removed, the speed of the back immediately increases.

Just as the walls were about to be pierced, heavy gunfire rang out from the south side of the town. Liu Tianshu looked through the crack in the door and found that the devils outside suddenly became in a hurry, that is, the two devils guarding the door, and they also paid attention to the outside at this time.

The team members over there seemed to be awakened by the strange noise coming from the wall, Xie Fei heard some commotion next door, immediately took down a brick, and whispered over there: "Brother Wang, don't be afraid, it's me, Xie Fei, we saved you, you quickly let everyone keep quiet, don't let the devil find out."
