Seeing Blacksmith Liu's grief-stricken appearance, Liu Tianshu's heart sank.

Just a short fight with the little devil, seven men fell by Zhao Dahai's side, and eight men also fell beside Liu Blacksmith and He Laolian.

In other words, the fifteen lives that were still alive just now turned into cold corpses in the blink of an eye, and this corpse was taken away by the cruel little devils.

When Zhao Dahai was in Xiaodang Mountain, he watched his brother fall under the gun of the little devil, and it was he himself, who was also injured in that encounter, and at this time, he saw his comrades around him fall one by one, and in addition to grief, his heart was full of anger, but he was able to bear it.

He patted Blacksmith Liu on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Blacksmith, don't be sad, their blood will not be shed in vain, their revenge, we will definitely avenge them, now it is important to find those teachers and students and complete the task as soon as possible." ”

In the fierce battle just now, Zhao Dahai sacrificed seven people on the side, but only brought three casualties to the little devil, thinking of this, he was a little discouraged, but the people from Beiping were saved, and this task was not a failure.

It's just that he didn't know that although Blacksmith Liu's side dragged the devil, he sacrificed eight people, and paying such a price only brought five casualties to the little devil.

"Yes, it's important to find Wu Jianfei." He Lao wiped his tears and said with blazing eyes.

Since he had chosen to participate in the revolution, he was ready to sacrifice for the cause of the party. The task assigned to him by his superiors is to safely escort these patriotic teachers and students to Shanxi, and the most important thing at the moment is to complete the task.

After the six of them whispered a few words on the side of the road, they immediately followed the route of Wu Jianfei's retreat.

Wu Jianfei was surrounded by people who were tied to him, these people were very familiar with this area, and in less than an hour, several people found Wu Jianfei and others in a mountain temple deep in the woods.

Seeing He Lao Lian and a few people coming in, Wu Jianfei's eyes swept over them one by one, until he confirmed that there were only six people in front of him, he asked unwillingly: "Lao Lian, what about the other comrades?" ”

"Jianfei, they all sacrificed, and even the bodies were taken away by the little devils." Speaking of this, He Laolian only felt two strings of hot tears flowing down his cheeks.

"All sacrificed?" Wu Jianfei couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes were suddenly full of grief.

The crowd of people who were resting in the open space of the mountain temple heard their conversation, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and many of them were college students who involuntarily covered their mouths.

Professor Guo and Professor Song looked at a few people, and learned that the comrades who escorted them had fifteen people killed in the encounter just now, so they couldn't help but take off their glasses and wipe them silently.

Liu Tianshu stood aside, quietly looking at the college students sitting on the ground, as well as seven or eight middle-aged people, and his heart was also full of sadness.

You know, just more than 30 days ago, I was like these people, wearing student clothes and following the escort team to the west, but now I have become the person who protects them.

Wu Jianfei had recovered from his grief at this time, he turned his head, looked at the students and teachers, and said loudly: "Teachers, students, the little devils will not die in my heart, and they want to make us succumb through bloody slaughter, we must strengthen our beliefs, unite to smash the enemy's conspiracy, we firmly believe that the blood of the martyrs will not be shed in vain, and we will definitely be able to drive the little devils out of China......

"Yes, we must not give in, give me a gun, I will fight."

"I'm going to fight."

Several young students suddenly stood up from the ground, waved their fists, and shouted that they wanted to pick up weapons and find the devil desperately.

Seeing everyone's spirits perked up, Wu Jianfei raised his hand and said: "Students, we will definitely avenge this revenge, but there are more important things waiting for us to do in front of us, everyone must obey orders and listen to commands......"

After calming the emotions of these enthusiastic students a little, Wu Jianfei, He Laolian, and Liu Blacksmith stepped aside to discuss their next actions.

After all, Liu Tianshu had not joined the organization, so he naturally would not be called over to discuss at this time. He walked to the gate of the temple, looking at the faint mountains and forests in the moonlight, but he was thinking about his next action.

The unexpected battle of Tuanshigou not only caused the loss of Liu Blacksmith's people, but also half of He Lao's people, so that the manpower to escort these patriotic students was somewhat stretched.

Judging from tonight's situation, the little devil should have known that this group of patriotic teachers and students were going to Shanxi, and they might block all the roads tomorrow.

Most of these patriotic teachers and students are scholars who have no power to fight, and if they encounter a devil again, Liu Tianshu really can't guarantee that they can get out of danger smoothly.

Thinking of this, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in Liu Tianshu's mind: Judging from what happened tonight, the little devil should have done an ambush in Tuanshigou in advance, how did the little devil know that there were patriotic teachers and students who were going to pass through Tuanshigou tonight?

Did someone leak the news? The little devil got the information beforehand?

Just as he was thinking wildly, Zhao Dahai walked over, looked at him and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?" ”

Liu Tianshu came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "Didn't think about anything?" Uncle Zhao, what should I do next? ”

"These students are exhausted after running around in the middle of the night. Besides, it was night, and the situation outside was unclear, so everyone decided to take a break and wait until dawn to figure out the situation. Zhao Dahai said a little tiredly.

"What? Stay here and rest until dawn? Liu Tianshu couldn't help but be surprised.

"yes, you don't approve?" Zhao Dahai said with some surprise.

"Uncle Zhao, how can you stay here, do you think, the devil appeared in Tuanshigou tonight, obviously prepared, although we got rid of the devil for the time being, but they will definitely not give up, wait until tomorrow at dawn, maybe the little devil will block all the roads around here, and then there will be a big trouble." Liu Tianshu said with a frown.

Although he was not familiar with the formation of troops, he still knew a lot of military common sense with Sengoff.

The target of the devil tonight is obviously the group of patriotic teachers and students escorted by Wu Jianfei, since he knows that they are hiding in the mountains and forests, the little devil will definitely plan to encircle them, and now they are still stopping here to rest, isn't it in the hands of the devil.

"You said that the target of the devil tonight is this group of patriotic teachers and students?" Zhao Dahai's heart moved.

"Of course, otherwise, how could there be little devils ambushed in Tuanshigou?" Liu Tianshu said anxiously.

"Go, I'll take you there, and talk to the blacksmith." Zhao Dahai trusted Liu Tianshu's ability very much, and when he heard him say so sure, he immediately realized that the problem was serious, and pulled Liu Tianshu and walked towards Liu Blacksmith and the others.

"Who are you? How can you be sure that the target of the little devil's ambush tonight is us? Wu Jianfei listened to Zhao Dahai's words, stared at Liu Tianshu with his eyes tightly and asked in a low voice.

"Comrade Wu, I forgot to introduce, Liu Tianshu was originally a student of Yenching University, and last time he followed Mr. Jiang and them from Beiping to prepare for Shanxi, but he didn't expect to meet devils on the way. Fortunately, Tianshu came to help, Mr. Jiang and they were not caught up by the little devils, I was injured in the battle to stop the devils, if it wasn't for Tianshu who saved me, my old life would have been gone. Zhao Dahai hurriedly introduced.

"You're a student at Yenching University? Wasn't it you who fired at the little devil just now? Wu Jianfei remembered that when they were about to reach the bottom of the ditch, there was a sudden gunfire in front of them.

Fortunately, the gunfire made them stop advancing in time and retreat quickly, otherwise they would all have fallen into the encirclement of devils.

"It's us, but it's Hadron who first realizes that something is wrong." Liu Tianshu nodded, and pointed to Shi Qiang in the distance and whispered.

Confirming this, Wu Jianfei's expression was a little calm.

"Tell me why you can't stop here?" Wu Jianfei stared at Liu Tianshu and asked in a deep voice.

"Comrade Wu, judging from what happened tonight, the little devil knows very well about the situation that you are going to go west through Tuanshigou tonight, although I don't know what went wrong at present, but judging from the strength of the little devil actually dispatched a team, the little devil is determined to win. It's just that I didn't expect you to retreat in advance, and after the attack of Uncle Zhao, me and Qiangzi, the little devil didn't know how many of us came? In addition, the little devil didn't dare to go into the woods to pursue, so after seeing that you were evacuated and couldn't pursue, the little devil vented his anger on Uncle Zhao and them who attacked from behind. After defeating Uncle Zhao and the others, the devil commander immediately withdrew from Tuanshigou with his troops. At the same time, the remains of the sacrificed comrades were taken away. So, I think the little devil definitely has a back hand, if we stay here any longer, when the little devil blocks all the roads around us tomorrow morning, we will be trapped in this mountain forest. Liu Tianshu analyzed carefully.

The little devil took away the remains of his fallen comrades, and it is not ruled out that he will try to find out the identities of these people, but Liu Tianshu did not mention this to Liu Blacksmith and Wu Jianfei.

Wu Jianfei listened to Liu Tianshu's words, pondered for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Blacksmith Liu and He Laolian.

"Lao He, Lao Liu, what are your opinions?"

"I think Tianshu has a point, we can't stay here anymore." Blacksmith Liu thought for a while and said.

He Laolian also nodded, and then the three of them gathered around to discuss the next course of action.

Blacksmith Liu is a local and is very familiar with the mountains and rivers here, and it is of course up to him to find a safe and secure route.

Half an hour later, the teachers and students resting in the mountain temple packed their luggage, and under the guidance of Blacksmith Liu, they followed a forest path, crossed the mountain range south of Tuanshigou, crossed an avenue, and followed a small stream to the Niuwei Peak in the south of Shiqiao Village.

When everyone arrived at Mt. Ushimi, the sky began to shine. Seeing that these patriotic teachers and students were so tired that they couldn't walk anymore, Wu Jianfei had to order to rest in place.
