Xiao Xiong and his brothers returned safely to Miaozhipu, and he and Deputy Commander Gao Qixing immediately dispersed the personnel to each house according to the predetermined plan, and it didn't take long for a tiger and wolf army to quietly disappear into the sea of ordinary people.

Xiao Xiong, Gao Qixing, and the captains and captains of each team, as well as Minghua and Liu Junshan, lived in the Baiyu family compound near the side of the mountain. Because Bai Yu's family is the richest man in Miaozhipu, the compound where they live is very spacious, and their own tenant farmers and clansmen also live together. Therefore, even if something unexpected happens, it is easy to deal with it. Another very important reason is that there is a very hidden cave in the mountain behind her house, which can lead to the other side of the mountain, and the cave is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. Usually only a few people know about it, and you can only get there by passing through Bai Yu's father's room. Grain, torches, etc., are stored in it all year round, and there is a clear mountain spring flowing out of the cave. Originally, this place was used to prevent bandits, and after the devil came, it became an excellent place for the Baiyu family to avoid the war.

Since Xiao Xiong and his brothers came, the enlightened Master Bai has gone all out to support Xiao Xiong and Bai Yu in their anti-Japanese actions. He took care of the brothers' expenses and shelters. What is especially valuable is that after the establishment of the Einsatzgruppen, he was going to marry his daughter to Xiao Xiong, and the cave house was set up in the small courtyard where he lived, so he simply moved to the courtyard next to it. As soon as Xiao Xiong came back, Master Bai began to talk about the wedding of Xiao Xiong and Bai Yu.

Because Xiao Bai's two families are world friends, and the two families are each a big family of Shilipu and Miaozhipu, the children of both sides are in free love, and they are both graduates of Wuhan University. It's really a good match, a talented woman, a natural pair. Because it was during the war, the two adults were worried that if the wedding scene was too publicized, they might provoke devils. Therefore, Xiao Xiong's family did not use eight sedan chairs to marry, but only invited the relatives and patriarchs of both sides to the house of Miaozhipu Baiyu, and the wedding was held simply and grandly.

To put it simply, there was no lively ceremony to be held, and solemnity meant that all the brothers attended their wedding, which was still very lively, and in the end, everyone did not make any more trouble in the new house, but blessed the couple with the military salute, which is unique to soldiers.

After the wedding was held, everyone was drunk and full, and the couple walked into the cave room. And Deputy Commander Gao and Chief of Staff Xiong Qiang immediately called a meeting of his subordinates and announced the commander's order:

"The telegram from the headquarters made it clear that in view of the imminent start of the counterattack in Nanchang, we were ordered to carry out sabotage operations on the devils' transport vehicles, ships, railways, highways, warehouses, docks, etc., at an appropriate time, and to carry out sniper operations against important people.

Now, on behalf of the commander, I would like to announce: First, immediately set up a hunter sniper team, with brothers Li Minghua and Li Yaohua as the chief and deputy captains, and now immediately transfer all the hunters and sharpshooters of each team to form a team immediately. The specific tasks will be assigned by me on behalf of the commander later. The Hunters are under the direct command of the command. Second, a special water operation team was formed, with Wang Yantai as the team leader, and the personnel were mainly composed of dock workers, boat people, and brothers with good surnames. The mission is to monitor the actions of the devils on the water, find fighters, and carry out operations. Third, it is necessary to immediately form a Jiangxin guerrilla force, set up liaison points on various sandbanks along the Yangtze River section of the Jiujiang River, and establish a hidden base area, so that it can become a "springboard in the center of the river" for attacking the enemy and a reliable base for us. Its task is to be responsible for escorting our personnel between the two sides of the strait, reconnoitring the enemy's situation, and waiting for an opportunity to act. The guerrillas consisted mainly of brothers who were born as fishermen, and Jiang Yongming was the leader.

The rest of the teams adjusted and supplemented according to the specific situation, quickly arrived in place, and were ready for battle at any time. The Water Einsatzgruppen and the Jiangxin guerrillas immediately split up and came back three days later to report. Got it? ”

"Understood!" Wang Yantai and Jiang Yongming replied.

"Act now. You will go to Master Bai to collect the funds for your activities. ”

Everyone split up and started to act.

Xiao Xiong and Bai Yu, the newlyweds, although they have not been separated for too long, have been tested by life and death several times. As soon as the two entered the cave room, they hugged each other tightly, unwilling to part for a long time. In fact, Bai Yu already has the crystallization of their love. Xiao Xiong knew this great news, and he was even more reluctant to let go of his lover, he kissed Bai Yu's bright lips, and they looked at each other silently......

Later, Bai Yu told him about the activities of the remaining team members after Xiao Xiong and them left.

It turned out that after Xiao Xiong and the others left, the Second Brigade, under the leadership of Xiong Qiang, deputy commander and chief of staff, and Jiang Feng, the chief of the team, carried out their work in an orderly manner in accordance with the spirit of that meeting. Through the influence and connections of the Bai and Xiao families in the local area, they developed many hunters, dock workers, palanquin drivers, and farmers to participate. They also had the heart to find the scattered and hidden [***] soldiers and wounded, and to gather them back to their ranks. So, in a very short time. The team soon grew. They recruit and train at the same time. Like those hunters, [***] soldiers are already skilled in marksmanship, so let them be instructors to train other new team members. As a result, workers and palanquin bearers who had no experience in fighting wars quickly became familiar with basic military knowledge. By the time Xiao Xiong and his team defeated Qixian Temple and carried out operations in Lushan, the team left behind had grown to nearly 200 people. Li Ran and Bai Yu's intelligence group also expanded, and they set up several intelligence points in the city's three wharves, Niutou Mountain, and other places. Three more radios were obtained from their superiors, and thus an intelligence network was established throughout Jiujiang.

After listening to Bai Yu's detailed introduction, Xiao Xiong kept kissing his beloved woman, he kissed from his lover's forehead, kissed her eyes, and kissed her chest. He stroked Bai Yu's snow-white and delicate body, buried his head deep in her chest, and greedily inhaled the fragrance on her body. Indulge in bliss and sweetness.

He was proud of his brothers and the woman he loved. With such a group of brothers who share life and death together, and such a virtuous and righteous woman as his wife, what more could a husband ask for! I really have no regrets in this life.

The sky gradually darkened, and Bai Yu was already sleeping sweetly in his arms.

He quietly got up, got dressed, and crept out the door. He gently closed the door, and then walked quickly to the courtyard where the senior deputy commander and they lived.

As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he saw Gao Qixing, Xiong Qiang, Jiang Feng, and the brothers Minghua and Yaohua still waiting for him.

"Cheer up, are you all starting to act?" Xiao Xiong asked bluntly.

"Yes, it's just that you let the Minghua brothers stay, and they are waiting for you to arrange it."

"Okay. The headquarters ordered us that the Nanchang counterattack was about to start, and demanded that we must take action as soon as possible to cooperate with this major battle. Therefore, I plan to go to the city tomorrow with Bai Yu, Minghua, and Yaohua, and in addition to reconnoitring the enemy's situation, I am also preparing to knock and knock the enemy and make a good start. How many people are there in the Hunters now? ”

"Including the two of us, thirty-six in all." Minghua replied.

"So coincidentally, as much as when we came back from Peach Blossom Point." As soon as Xiao Xiong said the tip of the peach blossom, his heart ached, and he couldn't help but think of those dead brothers. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "The little devil of the dog, wait and see!" Lao Tzu wants you to repay this blood debt twice! ”

Since the last battle of Qixian Temple, Xiao Xiong has become very careful now. In order to ensure the success of this operation, he deliberately arranged all the members of the Hunter Sniper Team along the line from the city to Miao Zhipu, responsible for picking up the brothers who were operating in the city, just in case. In this operation, except for the hunter sniper team, the rest of the team members continued to train at home and wait for orders.

The next day was April 20. Xiao Xiong and Bai Yu respectively took two rickshaws pulled by two hunter team members to the bustling Yanshui Pavilion in the city. And before they came, Liming and Minghua were already waiting here in the form of a sedan chair man carrying two sedan chairs.

Yanshui Pavilion is located on the Immersion Moon Island of Gantang Lake on the south bank of the Changjiang River in Jiujiang. In ancient times, Gantang Lake was connected with the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, and the water area was wide, which was a water fortress in Dongwu. In that year, the warships on the lake were gathered, and the heroes lined up. The eloquent Zhou Yu waved his generals here, united with Liu Bei, and defeated Cao's soldiers in Chibi. The Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi and the Song Dynasty scholar Zhou Dunyi both built pavilions in the lake.

Looking south from the Yanshui Pavilion, in the extreme distance where the lake surface is sparkling and the waterfront is connected, the green and daisy mountains are undulating, which is the famous Lushan Mountain at home and abroad.

Xiao Xiong and Bai Yu came to the Moon Island in a small boat. I saw that the smoke and water pavilion was surrounded by pink walls, towering buildings, rich green trees, and the lake was as flat as a mirror. Arriving here is like arriving in a paradise. The pavilion is full of cigarette smoke, and the bell chime is melodious. Xiao Xiong came to the Five Sages Pavilion. This is the place where the citizens of Jiujiang commemorate the idyllic poet Tao Yuanming, the Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Li Bo, the Jiangzhou Sima Bai Juyi, the Song and Ming Dynasty masters Zhou Dunyi, and Wang Yangming. Bai Yu came to the inner hall and took a note from the steward's hand. She glanced at it quickly, and then handed it to Xiao Xiong. I saw that it read: "The military police headquarters has strengthened its vigilance in the area of Xunyang Tower today. ”

"Xunyang Tower? Heightened vigilance? There must be something big there. Xiao Xiong pondered. Walk! Go to Xunyang Tower. The show should be there! ”

He and Bai Yu immediately went ashore, got on the sedan chair, and the group ran quickly in the direction of Xunyang Tower.

Xunyang Building is one of the four famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. It was named after Xunyang in ancient times because of Jiujiang, which was a folk restaurant at the beginning, and has a history of 1,200 years. Since Jiujiang has been a traffic artery and an economically developed city on the south bank of the Yangtze River since ancient times, Xunyang Tower, which is located on the bank of the Xiongli River, has always been a place where celebrities gather. For example, Bai Juyi, Wei Yingwu, Su Dongpo, etc., have all climbed the building to inscribe songs, leaving many popular stories. Moreover, because Shi Nai'an wrote a "Water Margin", in which Song Jiang was once imprisoned here, he once drank alone in this building, drunk and crazy, wrote depressed, and drunkenly wrote the anti-poem "He said that if he is Lingyunzhi, dare to laugh at Huangchao is not a husband", so it led to that legend through the ages. With the famous works of celebrities, Xunyang Tower is also famous at home and abroad, attracting people from all walks of life to visit here and linger.

Not long after, Xiao Xiong and the others came not far from Xunyang Tower, only to see that there were already many devils on the riverside, and they were heavily guarded, set up a cordon, closely checked passers-by, and did not allow Chinese to enter the building.

What the hell is going on? The devils exercised brutal rule in Jiujiang, and if they did not have the "security certificate" or relevant passes issued by the devils, they would be arrested and imprisoned as soon as they were discovered. At the worst, he will be fined, and at worst, he will be beheaded on the charge of "gangsters." On the wharf by the river, you can often see the heads of the so-called "anti-bandits" hanging on the pillars.

Xiao Xiongrang parked the sedan chair by the Pipa Pavilion. During the Xianfeng period, this pavilion was destroyed in the war, and later I don't know who rebuilt a simple pavilion on the original ruins, and also re-hung the gold-lettered plaque of the preserved "Pipa Pavilion", only to see that the two sides are the couplets of Dong Yunyan of the Qing Dynasty to collect the poems of the Tang Dynasty:

"A bullet of flowing water, a bullet of the moon;

Half into the river and half into the clouds. ”

Seeing this thousand-year-old Pipa Pavilion, Xiao Xiong couldn't help but softly recite Bai Juyi's eternal poem "Pipa Pavilion":

"Xunyang Jiangtou night send-off, maple leaves and flowers in autumn.

The master dismounts the guest in the boat, and raises the wine to drink without orchestra.

If you are drunk, you will say goodbye, and you will be immersed in the moon in the vast river when you are drunk. ”

Bai Yu slowly leaned against Xiao Xiong's side, took his arm, and then chanted with him:

"Suddenly I heard the sound of the pipa on the water, and the host forgot to return to the guest.

Who is the bomber? The sound of the pipa stopped and he was late.

Move the boat to close to each other, invite each other, add wine and return to the lamp to reopen the feast.

After a long time, he came out, still holding the pipa and half covering his face.

……

Who cries the most in the seat? Jiangzhou Sima Qing shirt wet. ”

After chanting, the two looked at each other and smiled. I don't know how long it has been since they recited poetry so happily, and they felt like they had returned to their school days, so romantic, so poetic.

Minghua and the others looked at the commander and his wife, and couldn't help but praise: "It's so good." In a word, Xiao Xiong pulled back to reality.

"Minghua, hurry up and send someone to reconnoiter and see what the hell is going on."

After a while, the brother sent to inquire came back to report that maybe some big official from the devil was coming to Xunyang Tower.

"No matter who comes, today we will sacrifice his head to the flag of our hunters." He turned to Brother Minghua who was standing beside him and said firmly: "The prey is about to appear, ready to hunt!" The task is completed by the two of you, and I will wait for the two of you at the intersection of Huangpu Road. After speaking, he and Bai Yu got on the sedan chair and left immediately.

The river breeze in April blew cool and refreshing on people's faces, and at about ten o'clock in the morning, several cars came to Xunyang Tower surrounded by a large number of devils. These devils who came are from the Devil's Field Supervision Group. It turned out that the old devil Okamura Ningji heard that his subordinates had suffered a big loss in Lushan and had lost many field officers, and he was very worried about the negative impact of this attack on the Nanchang operation. So, he sent a supervision team led by his right-hand man Kameda Daisa to Jiujiang to supervise.

Kameda was a professor of Chinese at Kyushu University before coming to China, and he was very fond of Chinese culture, especially the four great classics of ancient China. But this old devil was disdainful of today's China, so he asked to come to China to participate in the war, and was entrusted by Okamura Ninji to Gao Shen, who specially explained Chinese history and culture to him. After coming to China, he frantically plundered many ancient calligraphy, paintings and thread-bound ancient books from China, and transported them to the Chinese books. It is said that among them, there is the only Song Yin "Quantang Poems", as well as the only few sets of "Siku Quanshu" in the world. He was like a greedy hungry wolf, desperately grabbing these things that he had never dared to think of before. No, when he heard that he was going to send personnel to Jiujiang to supervise the battle, Kameda hurriedly asked Okamura Ninji to go in person. Because Jiujiang and Lushan have too many things that fascinate him, they are places he dreams of coming to. He knew that there were wild and uninhibited waterfalls written by Li Bai, the mysterious clouds and mist of Lushan Mountain in Dongpo's poems, the pipa girl who "still hugged the pipa and half covered her face" by Bai Juyi, and the Xunyang Building where Song Jiang said wildly that "I dare to laugh at Huangchao and not my husband......

All this made Kameda ecstatic, and his heart was already itching, and he thought that it must be worth the trip. He came from Nanjing only last night, and after listening to the report early this morning, he immediately drove to the Xunyang Tower, where he had been thinking about it all night.

Kameda came to the top floor of the building, only to see the Yangtze River flowing eastward for thousands of miles outside the building, although there was no bustle on the river, but it can still be seen that the sails and fishing boats coming and going are walking on the Bali River (Jiujiang people call the Yangtze River that flows through Jiujiang the Bali River), and groups of silver-white fish gulls fly on the river.

It's a beautiful view.

Kameda came to the vivid murals in the pavilion and those celebrity inscriptions, carefully admired, fascinated by them, especially in front of Song Jiang's anti-poem for a long time, full of praise, this painting vividly depicts Song Jiang's drunkenness and madness, which makes people think about it. He watched and stroked, and couldn't put it down.

When his subordinates saw this, they asked:

"Dazuo, do you want to take it away?"

"No, I just want the plaque on the door, don't touch anything else. Let the murals and inscriptions leave it here, and there is no point in taking it away. ”

"Yes. Osa, it's time for dinner, isn't it time for you to eat? ”

"Okay, just eat on the top floor."

"Yes!"

After a while, the table was filled with wine and food, which was specially ordered by the Jiujiang City Defense Command. Among them, there are braised salmon, Wucheng whitebait, Lushan stone chicken, bacon fried Artemisia, bacon spring bamboo shoots and other specialties. These were all things that Kameda had never enjoyed, and he was very happy, and took a glass of Jiujiang osmanthus wine and toasted it to the fullest.

Then explain that they found an abandoned house in the dwelling not far from the opposite side of Xunyang Tower, in the ruined wall, it is the best position to snipe the enemy, and the window frame in the remaining half of the broken wall is condescending to the gate of Xunyang Tower. Everyone waited patiently, and although they didn't know who the target was, as soon as he came out of the door, the two of them were sure to blow the enemy's head.

Kameda didn't know that this was his last meal, and after he was drunk and full, he brought Jiujiang specialties, including Jiujiang halva and osmanthus tea cakes. Kameda was eating and reciting "The Story of Xijiang Moon and Xunyang Tower" in "Water Margin"

"Since childhood, I have studied history, and I have the power to plan when I grow up. Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill, lurking minions to endure.

Unfortunately, the cheeks are tattooed, which is worthy of being in Jiangzhou. If he has revenge, blood stains the mouth of the Xunyang River. ”

He shook his head and walked downstairs happily while chanting, and the other devils hurriedly followed him downstairs. Kameda walked out of the gate and was chanting: "If he has to take revenge, blood stains the Xunyang River Estuary, and blood stains the Xunyang River Estuary." Only a few gunshots were heard, and before Kameda could finish speaking, he fell to the ground on his back, blood and his brains splashed all over his face, and at the same time there were several other devil officers who fell to the ground.

The sudden gunfire stunned the devil all of a sudden, and after the gunfire rang out several times, the devils who were on guard outside discovered Minghua's hiding place, and the dense gunfire shot at them, and at the same time, dozens of devils rushed here.

"Yaohua, withdraw!" Minghua said, "snapped" and knocked down another devil, and the two brothers leaned down and quietly withdrew amid the sound of gunfire like popping beans.

By the Longkai River, at the intersection of Huangpu Road, they boarded a car prepared by Xiao Xiong to transport supplies for devils, and the front of this car was planted with a devil's plaster flag, and they quickly spread it out for ten miles.
