"Sister Tang Qing is polite, if you say this again, we don't have the face to stay here." Liu Tianshu smiled, and as soon as he said this, the whole room suddenly burst into laughter.

Next, naturally, everyone gathered around and talked lively.

Tang Qing is a native of Shiquan Town, and she is very familiar with the grass, trees, mountains and rivers here, she was in the reed forest, and found that Liu Tianshu and the four were not from Shiquan Town, so when she was waiting for Zhou Jiangong and Liu Tianshu to come back, she skillfully took out a lot of information about the two brothers of the Hao family.

Listening to the two brothers of the Hao family, this Liu Tianshu was originally a student of Yenching University in Beiping, when the Japanese devils attacked Beiping, he withdrew from Beiping with his classmates, and was separated from his classmates on the way, and later promised people to send a few people to Wuyang County.

And the two brothers of the Hao family were released from the prison in Liugu County by Liu Tianshu. If Liu Tianshu hadn't rushed into the prison of the Liugu County Police Station that day and released the two brothers and other prisoners, maybe they would have all fallen into the hands of the Japanese devils.

If it really falls into the hands of the Japanese devils, no one can predict what the next outcome will be.

After the two brothers of the Hao family walked out of prison, they had nowhere to go, and secondly, they felt Liu Tianshu's life-saving grace, so they decided to follow Liu Tianshu to Wuyang County, and now they are preparing to return to Liu Tianshu's hometown in Shandong.

When Tang Qing heard that the two brothers of the Hao family said that Liu Tianshu fought fiercely with devils in Liugu County, and also killed and injured many devils, captured the north gate of Liugu County, so that a large group of people could escape from the north gate smoothly, he began to think about how to leave Liu Tianshu in his heart.

You must know that her main task in returning to Shiquan Town this time is to work with Zhou Jiangong to mobilize the masses to establish anti-Japanese armed forces in Wuyang County.

Now the strength in their hands is only a platoon of the Eighth Route Army brought by Zhou Jiangong, plus more than a dozen people from her guerrillas.

There are still forty or fifty people, but it is difficult to open up the situation in Wuyang County.

After all, this is still the territory of the Nationalist Government, and the Jin Slow Army also has a regiment stationed in Wuyang County. The Huyangkou in the south also stationed the two main regiments of the Jin Sui Army, and as for the Niangzi Pass line, it was the heavy army of the Jin Sui Army.

Although it was now the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, when the power of the Nationalist Government in Wuyang County was very strong, it was not easy for the Communist Party to quickly open up the situation, which was also the main reason why Tang Qing and Zhou Jiangong decided to abandon the county seat and turn to the countryside.

Tang Qing's guerrillas had a lot of influence in Shiquan Town, and this time they naturally took this place as the first stop for their work.

"Brother Liu, I heard from the two brothers of the Hao family that you fought with the little devil in Liugu County, can you tell us about the situation." Tang Qing looked at Liu Tianshu and said with a smile.

"Brother Liu has fought with little devils? Brother Liu, tell me quickly, what does this little devil look like? How is the combat effectiveness? Tell your comrades, you also know that our Eighth Route Army has only come from Shanxi, and we haven't met the little devils yet. Zhou Jiangong heard that Liu Tianshu had beaten the devil, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said eagerly.

Although the platoon he brought over was an old Red Army, after all, it used to be a firefight with Lao Chiang's troops, but now it is fighting Japanese devils. He had heard that these Japanese devils were all fierce and vicious, and that the troops of the Nationalist Government were often defeated as soon as they came into contact.

In front of Liu Tianshu, a person who has competed head-on with devils, he naturally wants to ask for advice.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Liu Tianshu thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, since everyone wants to understand, I'll talk about it." ”

Hearing his promise, the people in the house immediately turned their eyes to him, and at the same time, an Eighth Route Army quietly went out, and then saw several Eighth Route Army soldiers walking in.

"Speaking of the first firefight between me and the devil, it wasn't Liugu County. It was two months ago, when I was still in Beiping, and after the Lugou Bridge was opened, I and a few classmates did not go home during the holidays, and stayed to participate in the anti-Japanese condolence group of Peking college students. Once, I and several classmates escorted condolence materials to the front line in Nanyuan. Because several of us had agreed in advance to send condolences and the hearts of the people of Beiping to the front line, we ran to the forefront of the battle between battles. Who knows, as soon as we handed over the items to the defenders, the devils launched a new round of attack, and the devils' shells rained down, not the commander of the 29th Army, Jing Company, reacted quickly, and my classmates were blown up by the shells. At that time, I was lying on the ground, only to feel that the ground under me was shaking, and after ten minutes or so, the devil's artillery fire gradually stopped, and then I heard the commander of Jing Lian shouting to order the soldiers to prepare for battle. After a while, I only heard the sound of gunfire on the entire position, bullets flying everywhere on the position, and from time to time soldiers were hit by bullets from devils and fell in pools of blood. One of the soldiers, after being hit by a bullet, fell not far from me, his eyes were still wide open, and I didn't know where I got the courage at that time, I picked up the soldier's rifle, and as soon as I got to the edge of the trench, I saw the devil shooting and rushing towards the defenders' position......"

Seeing that everyone was very interested in fighting devils, Liu Tianshu briefly introduced the first time he went to the battlefield in Nanyuan and met the devils in Liugu County, and finally said: "Platoon Commander Zhou, Sister Tang Qing, if you want to talk about fighting, Platoon Commander Zhou is an expert, and he has more combat experience than me. To be honest, this time I was able to take everyone to leave Liugu County safely, and it was also a blind cat that met a dead mouse. ”

Hearing Liu Tianshu say this, Zhou Jiangong, who had been listening attentively, raised his head, looked at Liu Tianshu and said: "Brother Tianshu is too modest, to be honest, listening to what you just said about the exchange of fire with the devils, you can take everyone straight to the north gate at the last moment, and with only a few people, you can capture the city wall defended by more than ten devils. ”

According to Liu Tianshu's introduction, the devil's marksmanship is surprisingly accurate, and the devil's combat effectiveness is also very strong, although he is also a veteran soldier who has been tested by war for a long time, but he really has no bottom on whether he can brave the devil's powerful firepower to capture the city wall.

However, he has never really fought with the devil, and he has not really experienced the real combat power of the devil.

Liu Tianshu's introduction can be regarded as allowing these Eighth Route Army, who came to Shiquan Town for the first time, to have a preliminary understanding of devils.

After the meal, at the suggestion of Zhou Jiangong, the two walked to the hill behind the village.

"Brother Tianshu, I heard that you are preparing to return to your hometown Shandong, is this true?" Zhou Jiangong looked at the mountains in the distance and suddenly spoke.

"Platoon Commander Zhou, you may already know that I haven't been back to my hometown for a year, besides, now that the little devil is concentrating his forces south, you say, how can I rest assured?" Liu Tianshu looked in the direction of his hometown, his face full of worry.

"Who says it's not, since the little devil occupied Beiping, he began to attack Shanxi and go south along the Jinpu Road, I heard that now there are nearly one million troops on both sides of China and Japan, and there is still a fierce battle in Shanghai. Look at this situation, the devil wants to kill my China this time. Pity my poor China, who was bullied like this by a small country of projectiles. I can understand that you want to go home, but as far as I know, the devil has gathered heavy troops along Zhengtai Road, and is currently launching a fierce attack on Niangzi Pass. Zhou Jiangong said with emotion.

"I know this, Platoon Commander Zhou, don't worry, I'm not a reckless person, if the devil is tightly blocked, I won't break in." Liu Tianshu nodded and said.

In fact, he knew that although the devil was advancing along Zhengtai Road to Shanxi, he could not block the road to the south, as long as he had the heart, he should be able to cross the Yellow River.

Zhou Jiangong heard that Liu Tianshu had made up his mind, so he dismissed his plan to persuade Liu Tianshu to stay and participate in the Eighth Road, but after a few words, the two talked about other things.

Early the next morning, Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang waved goodbye to Tang Qing and Zhou Jiangong and embarked on the road south.

Tang Qing saw Liu Tianshu's distant back, and his heart was lost. You must know that after she heard the Hao brothers talk about Liu Tianshu's battle in Liugu County, she moved the idea of leaving Liu Tianshu behind.

Although her guerrillas have been active in the Shiquan County area for several years and have a great influence in the local area, she is not confident in her real combat effectiveness.

Besides, from the fact that Liu Tianshu rescued Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su, she saw that Liu Tianshu was chivalrous and courageous, and he was a person to rely on, and if he could recruit into his team, he would definitely be a tiger general.

It's just that Liu Tianshu is bent on going back to her hometown to see, so she is naturally not easy to persuade.

Liu Tianshu and his entourage left Shiquan Town, and when it was dark, they had arrived at a village not far from Huyangkou.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Tianshu and the four of them walked to a small farm yard at the edge of the village, Shi Qiang went up and knocked on the door of the void a few times, and a crop man opened the courtyard door vigilantly.

Seeing several strange men standing in front of his house, the man asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

"This uncle, we are passing by, but I didn't expect it to be dark when we walked here, can you let us borrow a night at your house? We don't have any other requirements, as long as a room that can shelter from the wind and rain, otherwise your firewood room can also do. Shi Qiang saw that the man was very vigilant, and hurriedly said with a smile.

"Passing? Where are you from? The man didn't let his guard down.

"This uncle, we are not bad people, we are from Shiquan Town, and we want to go south to our hometown to see, do you see if it is convenient?" Liu Tianshu stepped forward and said softly with a smile.
