Liu Junshan and the two returned to the cave with the black tiger, and they reported to Xiao Xiong what they heard the words of the two security team puppet soldiers. The black tiger circled around Minghua, humming in his mouth, and gently biting the corner of his clothes with his mouth from time to time, as if to pull him out. Minghua squatted down, gently hugged its neck, stroked it with his hand, and said like coaxing a child:

"Black Tiger is obedient, we know that you have seen the enemy who killed your father. Don't worry, you wait, I'll take you to kill them and avenge Daddy in a while. All right? ”

The black tiger looked at Minghua, wagged his tail, and walked to the side, then sat down quietly and looked at them.

After listening to Liu Junshan's report, Xiao Xiong quickly made an analysis and judgment of the current situation in his heart.

Now, there are only a maximum of 10 people in the mountains who can fight, and it is definitely not possible to fight the enemy hard. What's more, there are nearly 100 old and weak women and children waiting to be resettled, and their homes have all been burned down by murderous devils. There are also those who are wounded, who also need to be cared for. Now is not the time to really go to this group of enemies to take revenge, as the saying goes, "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years", so let them live a few more days.

Where are these fellows placed? This question stumped Xiao Xiong.

It's almost impossible to go to Jiangxinzhou for too far, not to mention that the enemy has set up checkpoints on the roads leading to Lushan, and it is very inconvenient to take so many people wherever they go.

The closest unit to this place may only be Hu Maosheng's Xingzi guerrillas. Right! I asked them to help settle these fellows.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiong asked everyone:

"Which one is more familiar with the stars?"

"I'm familiar." A middle-aged hunter stepped forward and said, "What? Are you going to Xingzi? He asked.

"I want to invite Captain Hu Maosheng of the Xingzi Guerrilla to come, I wonder if you can find him?"

"This is easy to do, I know that there may be someone in the shuttle gang not far in front of you who knows the whereabouts of Captain Hu."

"Will anyone know about Suozigang? What's going on here? Xiao Xiong couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"There is a young man named Zou Hexi in Suozigang, he was originally from Zoujia Village, Gaolong Township, and later he killed a devil, and Captain Hu sent him to Suozigang to hide."

It turned out that one day in March this year, the devils and puppet soldiers stationed in Gaolong Township came to Zoujia Village to collect grain.

A devil squad leader came to Zou Hexi's house. Zou Hexi's mother is only in her 30s and is drying clothes in the yard. When the devil saw that she had fine skin and white flesh, he was very silver-hearted, pulled the woman into the house, and forcibly forced Zou Hexi's father out of the house with a war knife. After closing the door, he frantically stripped off his mother's clothes, trying to force her. His mother swore to the death, fought with the captain of the devil squad, and shouted for help. His father kicked the door open and rushed into the house, about to fight the devil. The devil pulled out a pistol and shot his father to death, and then hacked his mother to death with a knife, which was biting him.

He was only fourteen years old, and when he saw this, blood poured out of his head. He picked up a hoe and rushed into the house, hitting the devil in the head with a hoe. The devil's head immediately cracked open, and blood and brains splattered all over him.

When he saw that he had killed the devil, he quickly fled into the mountains and hid.

The devils searched everywhere but couldn't find Zou Hexi, so in a fit of rage, they tied all the men in Zoujia Village in front of the ancestral hall of the village and wanted to execute them one by one. Some were stabbed to death with bayonets, others were hacked to death with war knives. Several of the village chiefs died the worst. The devils took the village chief to the bamboo forest in front of the ancestral hall, selected five thick mangosteens in different positions, and pulled them down with force. Then the village chief's head, hands, and feet were tied to a bamboo, and then the mangosteen was suddenly loosened at the same time, and the village chief was killed tragically by the "five horses". In this way, almost all the more than 100 men in Zoujia Village were killed.

However, the inhumane devils did not stop there, they imprisoned the remaining women, children, and children in the ancestral hall, and piled firewood and grass around the ancestral hall, and lit a fire. Hundreds of people were burned alive. Except for Zou Hexi and a few men who happened to be not at home when they went out, the rest of the village died at the hands of those devils who exterminated people's surnames.

After Hu Maosheng heard the news, he sent someone to find Zou Hexi in the mountains. The kid pestered Hu Maosheng to live and asked to join the team to kill the devil, and Hu Maosheng agreed to his request. But considering that he was still too young, let him hide in the shuttle post for a while, and help him take care of a few wounded by the way. In this way, Zou Hexi stayed in Suozigang.

The middle-aged hunter told Xiao Xiong that when he went to Wulao Peak to dig herbs a few days ago, he happened to pass by a relative's house in Suozigang, and Zou Hexi and several wounded members of the guerrillas were staying at his relative's house. The place in Suozigang was relatively remote, leaning against the tall and steep Wulao Peak, and Hu Maosheng should have used it as his secret base. If you find Zou Hexi there, you will definitely be able to find Hu Mao.

After Xiao Xiong listened to the middle-aged hunter's introduction, he sent him to Suozigang and immediately contacted Hu Maosheng.

Sure enough, before noon the next day, the hunter took Hu Maosheng and a few guerrillas to the cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, Xiao Xiong hurriedly greeted him, held Hu Maoxian's hand tightly and said:

"Captain Hu, I'm really sorry to call you from afar."

"General Xiao, Commissioner Xiao ordered, don't your subordinates have to come quickly?" Hu Maoxiang said jokingly.

"Don't say that, you are my eldest brother, you will just call me by my name in the future. Don't shout any more generals and commissioners. Xiao Xiong hurriedly waved his hand and said to Hu Maosheng.

"Commander Xiao, I've heard everything that happened here." Hu Mao said.

"At first, I only heard that there was a fierce shootout near Guling Street, and that there were many dead and wounded by the devils, and I also heard that the devils killed many of us. I was worried when this brother came. Hu Maosheng pointed to the hunter.

"This time the devil came purely for revenge. Some time ago, our Einsatzgruppen fought several battles in a row, causing a lot of damage to the devils. Especially before the Qingming Festival, we fought a beautiful ambush and killed Yoshino, the head of the Jiujiang Special High School, and more than 20 of his subordinates. The old devil Yamamoto was angry, and it was estimated that he had found Wu Yingqi and Peng Fugui, who might have found this place by following the clue of the hunting dogs of our hunter team. Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise this would have become the second Zoujia Village. Xiao Xiong sighed.

"Commander Xiao, don't worry, I'll leave the matter here to me, I'm familiar with this area, and it's easy to get things done. Tomorrow, let people transfer the villagers out first, the wounded are unable to move, stay for the time being, and wait for their injuries to heal before leaving. You can leave in peace. ”

"Okay." Xiao Xiong was very grateful, he, Minghua and Junshan almost kept all the money on their bodies, and said that they would let people send part of the settlement funds to Xingzi in a few days.

The next day is June 10, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival.

Early in the morning, Xiao Xiong and the others said goodbye to everyone and left the cave.

They came to the village in ruins. In front of me, this small mountain village with a beautiful scenery of "green tree village border, green mountains and Guo slanting", and "yellow hair hanging down, happy and happy" quiet mountain village, has now become a ruined wall. Everywhere there were blackened wood and stones.

Xiao Xiong followed Li Minghua and Liu Junshan to the small hillside behind the village, where there were only a few graves before, and they were all old people in the village who had died for a long time. However, dozens of new graves have now been added, giving people an extremely miserable feeling. Several people carried handfuls of earth on the graves of each grave.

Minghua and Junshan brothers and sisters knelt down in front of Li Zuquan's grave and kowtowed a few times. At the grave, Minghua swore that

"Daddy, I'll take revenge on you! You wait. ”

The black tiger and several hunting dogs behind him also whined softly and circled around the grave. Minghua hugged the black tiger, pointed in the direction of the mountain down, and said a few words to the black tiger gently. The black tiger led a few hunting dogs through the woods and ran outside.

Xiao Xiong and the others were going to go down the mountain from the direction of the Lotus Cave in the north this time to meet Gao Qixing, who had already arrived in Jiujiang. For the convenience of movement, they disguised themselves as sedan chair drivers and prepared a sedan chair, and Li Caizhen sat in the sedan chair. Liu Shuhui pretended to be a girl, Xiao Xiong pretended to be a housekeeper, and they followed behind the sedan chair. Their weapons were hidden on top of the palanquin.

In the morning, many people came and went on Guling Street. The cries of vegetable sellers, fritters and tofu brains, and the chirping of birds add to the popularity of the otherwise quiet mountain market.

Xiao Xiong and the others quickly passed the checkpoint set up by the devils of Xiaotianchi, and then walked a short distance to the intersection of the mountain. Further down is the steep and difficult Hahan Slope with more than 1,400 steps.

Xiao Xiong: They sat down to rest in the gazebo at the top of the slope. Minghua and Junshan stood aside, and when they saw that there was no one, they quickly took out the knife hidden in the sedan chair and quickly hid it in the leggings. Their pistols were hidden in the two girls' baggage.

A few people drank the mountain spring, rested for a while, and began to go down the mountain carrying the sedan chair.

The group only walked to the middle of Haohan Slope, when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Stop." ”

Immediately afterward, from an abandoned nunnery on the right-hand side, several devils and puppet soldiers of the security team came out, and they pointed their shining bayonets at them.

"Come here and put the sedan chair down. What do you do? A puppet soldier asked.

Minghua and Junshan hurriedly put down the sedan chair, walked to the side of the stone steps and sat down, arranging the leggings with their hands. Xiao Xiong stepped forward, handed each of them cigarettes, and then replied with a smile on his face:

"Brother, we are good people who live in the mountains. Those who have a residence permit. As he spoke, he handed over the residence permit, which contained a silver dollar.

"Where are you going?" The puppet army put the silver dollar into his jacket pocket, and without looking at the documents, he handed them back to Xiao Xiong and asked lazily.

"Today is not the Dragon Boat Festival, my wife wants to go back to her mother's house in the city for the festival, no, I have to go down the mountain early in the morning, for fear that I won't be able to catch up with lunch." Please make it convenient for Taijun and the bosses. Xiao Xiong hurriedly handed you cigarettes again.

Suddenly, a devil next to him walked to the side of the sedan chair, looked at Li Caizhen sitting in the sedan chair and kept saying:

"Flower Girl's, Flower Girl's, Missy's." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch her face.

Caizhen trembled all over, not because she was afraid, but because this scene was too similar to the scene when she was humiliated in Qixian Temple, her mind was blank, but she instinctively grasped the dagger in her baggage and turned her head to the side.

When the devil saw Li Caizhen's frightened appearance, he couldn't help but feel furious, put down the 38 big cover in his hand, and pounced on Caizhen. Xiao Xiong next to him couldn't help but get nervous.

Hearing only a "poof", the devil who rushed over suddenly covered his stomach with his hands, and fell backwards, a stream of blood spurting out of his wound. Chaejin jumped up from the sedan chair, held a dagger in her hand, and pounced on the devil and stabbed him in the chest again.

"Yaga!" Several devils, who were stunned by the scene in front of them, stabbed at Caizhen with guns, and several bayonets stabbed into her body almost at the same time, and she immediately fell in a pool of blood.

"Caizhen." "Sister."

Xiao Xiong, Minghua and Junshan took out their daggers and hunting knives almost at the same time, and they pounced on the devils and fought with them. The three of them plunged daggers and knives into the devil's body almost simultaneously. At the same time, a few devils and puppet soldiers standing a little farther away picked up their guns together, loaded their bullets, and were about to fire at Xiao Xiong and them.

Liu Shuhui next to her saw it and shouted anxiously:

"Brother, you run." As he spoke, he took out the pistol in his baggage and fired at the enemy first. One of the devils fell in response, and the rest of the enemy turned their guns and fired at Shuhui together. Shuhui fell.

"I'll your grandma." Liu Junshan rushed over like crazy, and Xiao Xiong and Minghua followed closely behind. Before the enemy's bullets could be loaded again, they saw three men rushing towards them with daggers and hunting knives that flashed with cold light, and they hurriedly responded to the battle.

Xiao Xiong and the enemy fought together, because the space was too small, the enemy's bayonets were not as good as Xiao Xiong with short blades. Xiao Xiong sideways flashed the bayonet stabbed by the puppet army in front of him, kicked the gun in his hand away, and the hunting knife in his right hand slashed his throat, and then kicked him over. Minghua attacked the enemy like crazy, he clung to the enemy, and the dagger in his hand was inserted into the enemy's body from time to time. I saw that several puppet soldiers around him saw blood on their bodies, all of them were colored, they had never seen such a fierce enemy, one of them threw down his rifle and ran down the slope, and the rest were all disemboweled.

Xiao Xiong hurriedly picked up the rifle thrown by the fleeing puppet soldier and shot him in the ass. I saw that the puppet army screamed miserably, and the bones rolled all the way down the Haohan slope, and I couldn't live anymore.

Liu Junshan was still fighting with the devil in front of him, and he had been stabbed in several places, and his whole body was covered in blood. The devil on the opposite side was also covered in blood, especially when his face was scratched a few times, the flesh on his face was turned up, and his face was hideous, like a demon. Xiao Xiong picked up a bullet, clicked it on, and shot at the devil who was about to pounce on him with a gun. The devil also rolled down the Haohan slope in response.

"Bang bang", gunshots were heard from the top of the slope and the half-mountain pavilion below the slope. The devils are shooting and rushing here, the bullets are shooting towards the sky, they are reinforcements. Xiao Xiong and the others took out their weapons from their baggage, turned around and ran towards the back of the nunnery.

Behind the nunnery is a cliff several feet high, and down is a bottomless stream.

Minghua pulled Xiao Xiong to the edge of the cliff, he first climbed the stone crack on the cliff wall and walked down slowly, and after his feet were solid, he asked Xiao Xiong to hold his hand, and also walked down the shallow stone crack step by step. In this way, the two of them slowly walked to the bottom of the cliff.

On the top of the cliff, the gunfire is getting more and more intense, and the devils have begun to rush here. Liu Junshan knew that the longer he blocked, the more safe the commander and Minghua would be. So, he kept shooting in two directions. Because of his accurate marksmanship, as long as the devil dares to show his head, he is guaranteed to let him bloom.

Suddenly, the devil from above threw a grenade here. Only to hear a "boom", the grenade exploded on the steps, and Liu Junshan hurriedly threw himself behind the stone. "Boom, boom", grenades kept exploding, and the enemy's gunfire was getting closer and closer. Liu Junshan was overwhelmed.

At this moment, suddenly there was a dog barking from the top of the slope, mixed with the screams of the enemy. Several hounds suddenly fell from the sky, and they went crazy and bit the devils on the slope. The devil quickly turned his gun and opened fire on the hounds, and one of them was hit, and he fell off the cliff with a scream. The rest of the hounds rushed down the slope together, and they did not stop in front of the nunnery, but kept rushing towards the devil in the half-mountain pavilion. Liu Junshan saw that it was the black tiger leading his companions, braving the rain of bullets and desperately rushing towards the enemy.

Taking advantage of this short time, Liu Junshan withdrew behind the nunnery.
