Chapter 36: The bandits are coming
"Who are you?" Liu Ruhan did not answer the rhetorical question.
"We are the Dragon's Tooth Anti-Japanese Task Force!" One soldier said proudly.
Another soldier glared at him, how could he easily report to his family, pretending to be stern and shouting at Liu Ruhan: "I ask you, hurry up and answer honestly, otherwise you will be allowed to eat guns!" ”
"I'm also a devil fighter, take me to your chief." After confirming that they were the Dragon Tooth Anti-Japanese Task Force, Liu Ruhan was relieved.
The two soldiers looked at Liu Ruhan carefully, and then they saw that this beautiful woman was also wearing a military uniform, although it was a different color.
The two exchanged glances, leaving one to look at Liu Ruhan, while the other turned around and ran quickly towards the village.
It didn't take long for Wu Ming, who was tinkering with the radio station, to rush over with a few soldiers.
Wu Ming didn't participate in the last ambush, so he didn't recognize Liu Ruhan, but he was still slightly shocked by Liu Ruhan's beauty.
Seeing that she was also wearing a military uniform, Wu Ming quickly recovered to normal, smiled and asked with a salute, "I don't know which unit the female comrades belong to?" Why did the Dragon's Tooth Task Force come to me? ”
Liu Ruhan thought that Wu Ming was Qiao Youhua, the captain of the famous Dragon Tooth Task Force, and hurriedly stepped forward to return the standard salute and said: "Liu Ruhan, director of the Confidential Division of the 85th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, our team was broken up in a fierce battle with the devils, and I heard that there is an anti-Japanese friendly army here, so I came to take refuge and ask for help." ”
"Chief of Confidential Affairs?" Wu Ming looked at her secretly in surprise, can he be the director of the confidential department at such a young age? It can't be based on face, right?
Of course, Liu Ruhan didn't know what Wu Ming was thinking, and she was also surprised that the founder of the Dragon Tooth Task Force turned out to be a person who looked polite, which was beyond imagination.
"Excuse me, are you Captain Qiao Youhua Qiao?" Liu Ruhan asked.
Wu Ming laughed: "No, you are looking for our captain, he is not here." ”
"Where did you go?" Liu Ruhan felt speechless as soon as he spoke.
Wu Ming really smiled and declined: "Military secrets, you can't tell each other, but Director Liu has been tired for a long time, if you don't dislike it, let's go to the village to rest for a few days, our captain should come back soon, and then we will discuss." ”
Liu Ruhan had this intention and nodded in agreement. But I was thinking in my heart, who is this Qiao Youhua?
…………
On Feiyun Ridge, in a natural cave named Zhongyitang, hundreds of bandits of different sizes and sizes gathered.
"The big boss has arrived!" With a loud shout, a female bandit dressed in a white cloak and deerskin boots strode to the throne, which symbolized the first place, with a few henchmen.
Flicked his cloak and sat down generously.
"Big boss, you're back!" A bearded bandit below spoke up.
"What's wrong? Something is happening? The female bandit's beautiful eyes revealed a shocking chill at the moment.
"A few days ago, Ma Ermao in Yangliu Town was raided, Ma Ermao was also killed, and the grain property was confiscated, and what is even more odious is that the gang also distributed the land that originally belonged to the Ma family to the ordinary people of Yangliu Town, so that we have a stable income.
This is to cut off our financial route, we Feiyunling can't sit idly by, otherwise the other landlords who cooperate with us will be in danger. The bearded man said with a very indignant expression.
Sitting in the first place, her face was as usual, but she was surprised in her heart, she actually distributed the land to the ordinary people? It's kind of interesting.
So he asked, "Do you know who did it?" ”
The bearded man said: "According to the people who escaped under Ma Ermao, that group of people is entrenched in Zheng Village for a generation, what is the name of the Dragon Tooth Anti-Japanese Task Force, specializing in fighting devils and traitors!" The subordinates think that no matter what they do, if they break our rules and financial routes, we have to show something, otherwise the prestige that we Feiyunling has accumulated over the years will be gone. ”
"Oh!" The female bandit looked slightly startled, which surprised her even more, Zheng Village actually came out with an anti-Japanese army?
However, the bearded man is right, no matter what they do, as the owner of this cottage, he should show something, otherwise not only will it be difficult to convince the public, but also those landlords and old fortunes who are willing to pay their wages automatically every month every year will also be dissatisfied.
Although the female bandits obeyed the teachings of their fathers and were determined to lead their bandits to wait for an opportunity to attack the Japanese invaders, they also had to teach this dragon tooth task force a lesson and let them know whose territory this Zhengding County was.
"Big Tiger, gather the brothers, surround Zheng Village, we will meet these anti-Japanese forces!" The female bandit was awe-inspiring.
"Yes!" The bearded man immediately turned around and beckoned his subordinates, and the bandits, big and small, shouted excitedly and began to assemble.
…………
Qiyun Mountain, the team left behind in Cangyunling to escort food and property has already arrived to meet Qiao Youhua.
Qiao Youhua handed over the Qiyun Mountain Cottage to them and let them continue to transport grain, while he left here with most of the two main infantry platoons and the reconnaissance platoon and Liu Yidao's more than 30 people.
Kill and fly to the clouds.
Qiyun Mountain is in the southwest of Zheng Village, while Feiyun Mountain is in the southeast of Yangliu Town in the east of Zheng Village, and the actual distance is almost 100 miles.
Qiao Youhua led the team and started a quick march, but when he led the team to pass the direction of Yangliu Town.
The bandits of Feiyunling, who are very familiar with the area of Yangliu Town, have already come to Zheng Village with a familiar way.
In Zhengcun Village, Wu Ming was talking to Liu Ruhan, and he naturally wouldn't let Liu Ruhan see the radio station and other things, which could be regarded as the absolute secret of the task force, but casually took them to a people's house to spend the night.
Liu Ruhan was very surprised by the harmony between the military and the people and the atmosphere of the Dragon Tooth Task Force, and in her impression, even if the **** with good military discipline had never been so close to the people.
Not to mention some troops with poor military discipline, they are simply incompatible with the common people, and everywhere they pass, the people are all scolding.
While the two were talking, suddenly a soldier hurried in.
Ignoring Liu Ruhan's presence, he reported to Wu Ming: "Platoon commander, it's not good, there are a large group of bandits coming towards us!" In a hurry, I forgot to salute.
"What? How many people are there? Wu Ming stood up in surprise, why did the boss go to suppress the bandits, but he was hit by the bandits?
"According to the brothers on the reconnaissance mission, there were at least two hundred people, all with their fellows, and they seemed to be familiar with the terrain by their familiarity." The soldier said.
Wu Ming immediately decided: "Notify all the brothers immediately, gather immediately, and prepare for battle." ”
After giving orders to the soldiers, Wu Ming just wanted to leave, but turned around and said: "That Director Liu, you just stay here and don't walk around, I'm going to fight, don't worry, the bandits can't get in." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Wu Ming found a soldier and said: "Go to the captain immediately, tell him that his base area has been attacked by a large group of bandits, and ask him to come to reinforcements as much as possible, I will do my best to hold on!" ”
The whole village soon boiled, and at this moment, there were not only hundreds of people in the village, but also many strong laborers from the surrounding villages who came to help repair the tunnels.
The bandits came very quickly, and it was too late to let them go up the mountain, so Wu Ming had to inform them to hide in the well-cultivated tunnels.
He led the team to the ring trench fortification that had just been dug in the east of the village, and now the Zheng Village was surrounded by such trenches, with a total of three layers before and after.
It's just that now Wu Ming only has an infantry platoon and ten sharpshooters in his hands, but fortunately, Qiao Youhua left more than 30 people from the machine gun platoon before leaving, and there are still many remaining captured rifles in the village, and they are all equipped. Otherwise, one platoon really can't hold three sides of the village.
Wu Ming came to the outermost trench with a light machine gun, and two scouts had already greeted him and said, "Platoon commander, the bandits are coming!" ”
"Brethren, cheer up, we are well-armed and have plenty of ammunition, as long as they dare to attack, they are all open to me, I have sent someone to inform the captain, and the large army will soon be able to rush back for reinforcements!" Wu Ming pulled his throat and encouraged the more than 20 subordinates who came over.
