Fang Xiao looked at the person who came, and saw that he had a square face with a hooked nose, a solid medium body, and a blue cloth trouser gown. A greasy smiling face, a sour tone.

However, before Fang Xiao could answer anything, the other party laughed again and said, "Section Chief Fang, I know you don't know me well!" You, a person who travels from south to north, have seen a lot of the world and met many people. Nobles forget things, you can't remember me if I'm an old history. Think about it, last year you came to Rizhao, drank tea at the entrance of the street and asked for directions, asking which road led to the intelligence enemy station. ”

"Yes!"

"At that time, someone came out to tell you, and he also reported that he had bravely led you a section of the road. On the way, you also pulled a homely mile! Hey, hey, remember? Remember, right? My surname is Shi and my name is Shi Jin. This progress shows that I am self-motivated and want to help me with the work of the Eighth Route Army! ”

Fang Xiao flipped through his memory and remembered. A year ago, Shi Jin enthusiastically said that he would invite him to his home for a drink. He is a person who is good at observing the situation of social interaction, so he said: "Old history, it's you, you really have a good memory and good eyesight!" You must have brought some good news. You know I'm a scout, and I'm most interested in enemy activity! ”

"Oops! Section Chief Fang, you joke as soon as you meet, think about me as a rustic common man, a chicken, relying on the ground to eat, where to find the enemy's activities! But just now I picked up a rare thing to send to you to see, you are a person who has seen the world, you have a lot of knowledge, you may be able to see a seven or eight points, right? ”

"It's useless to talk about it, get down to business."

"Yes!" Grimace said solemnly, pulling out a fat, grey dead pigeon from under the basket, and introducing the situation, saying, "I snatched this thing from the mouth of a kitty hawk. I was walking in the woods on the other side of the hill when I saw a harrier chasing a pigeon. Good fellow, the harrier eagle is like an arrow, and with one wing crooked, the pigeon falls to the grass. ”

"What does it matter to you!" A comrade said.

"I want to open a big meat! So, I hurried up, and the harrier eagle saw someone coming and flew away. I picked it up and looked at it, oh my god, it was bloody, its head had been pecked through by the eagle's beak. I wanted to take it back and burn it to satisfy my cravings. But when you look at its legs, oh, my mother! Why is there a rubber tube on the pigeon's leg? ”

"What rubber tube?" The crowd was taken aback.

"I've heard it said early on that devils use pigeons to deliver messages to them. I wonder if this is a pigeon that delivers a message to the enemy? I'm looking for our Eighth Route Army to report, God, I've finally found you! But this little tiger brother forcibly stopped me from coming, and I still found it after a lot of effort. Now that a big stone in my heart has finally landed, look at the pigeon's legs, maybe he has some military secret in it! ”

At this time, Gu Mu heard the news and came over. A small rubber tube on the pigeon's leg was opened. In front of everyone was a soft and tough piece of paper with words and a topographical route map.

"This is the enemy's communication dove!" Fang Xiao lowered his voice and said with infinite joy, "I've seen this kind of thing, there are really enemy military secrets in it!" ”

Everyone looked at the piece of paper carefully, most of it was Japanese with Chinese characters, but Gu Mu immediately recognized its content from it. The handwriting was along the lines of:

Commander Noeiji II:

On 20 August, our troops quietly arrived at the designated place while the 2,000-strong army was carrying out a sweep of the whole Rizhao county. That is, at midnight, the last elite infantry squad was dispatched to attack the enemy station of the Eighth Route Army of Jufeng and Liujia Zhuangzi at dawn the next day, along the predetermined route (with photos). Please send a feint there before dawn tomorrow as originally planned, so as to divert the attention of the Eighth Route Army's intelligence enemy station and win the victory with a surprise attack. I would like to report this report and pray for the longevity of the armed forces. Toshiro Nakata.

In order to avoid the loss of the communication pigeon on the way, another communication pigeon was released, and the report was sent continuously, both of which were the same.

Judging by the time, the other communication pigeon released had probably arrived at Commander Noei's headquarters.

Judging from the current situation, the dead were only bloodstained, and the head was pecked with a deep hole. It is believed that he died under the sharp beak of the harrier eagle.

This pigeon was acquired by accident and everyone was very happy. Gu Mu said to the dung shell lang: "Old Shi, this pigeon you picked up is very good, it seems to be a treasure. There's so much more to it than just eating meat! ”

"Really? It has another use! Suddenly he became clumsy and said, "It's a little Japanese thing!" The enemy is not allowed to run rampant in our base area, and the sky of the base area is not allowed to fly through the enemy's communication pigeons! This is our Chinese harrier eagle that caught it. Merit is also Harrier's eagle's! I am a Chinese, and what I should have done has been done. This is not a place for me to stay long, I'm leaving, or the tiger will come out and scold me again when he sees me! ”.“ Old history, he's a child, don't take it to heart! Everyone unites to fight the Japs. ”

"Yes, we should unite against the Japanese. However, Huzi can't get along with me everywhere. No matter which time we met, he always instigated a litter of children to abuse me with a beat, and scolded me as a big lackey of the landlord. In fact, I also hate the landlord so much that the root of my tooth hurts. In order to oppose the collection of land rent, everyone has also criticized me for undermining the united front policy and the rent reduction policy in the Second Five-Year Plan! ”

"Yes!"

"I scolded the big landlords a long time ago, calling them vampires...... It's this Huzi brother who always suspects that I don't have the same heart as the Eighth Route Army. The last time I was in Taoluo, he falsely accused me of eavesdropping on the phone, which caused a big trouble. ”

"Good!"

"This time he tried his best to stop me from coming to deliver this pigeon, because I wanted to eavesdrop on military secrets. I swore a curse to him: 'Grind my bones to ashes, and I will have the same heart as the Eighth Route Army!' But he couldn't listen. He couldn't get along with me wholeheartedly. I tried to talk to him about unity and reconciliation, but he didn't listen to anything......"

Shell said with tears in his eyes.

All people in the world with ulterior motives know that tears cannot be watered in the garden, and clothes cannot be washed. But under certain conditions, it has a meaning and a value. The greatest value is that it can make people ignore the elements of good and evil.

Since the enemy's military secrets have been obtained, the enemy's military secrets that have been obtained should be sealed as secrets. Only in this way will it be convenient for our army to take the next step. Since the shell man knows this secret of the enemy, he must not let him go until this military secret is invalidated, and must supervise his actions.

Minister Gu negotiated with everyone to let Shihulang temporarily set up a lookout post on the hill with the militia, and he was not allowed to move alone. Even Huzi agreed with this approach.

Tomorrow at dawn, the enemy will come to attack Rokkokoso, so just move ahead of time according to the usual measures. Or plant mines in advance at the intersection of the village, so that the enemy can taste the taste of mines. But this time was unlike any other, and this time the enemy's details were clearly laid out in front of him.

Minister Gu, Fang Xiao, and Song Jiliu believed that although the intelligence enemy station was not a combat unit, the gifts sent by the enemy to the door must be accepted thoughtfully. So a small meeting was held in the enemy's station. Most of the militia squad leaders and militia guards at the station participated in Xu Yunduo's coordination. The transmission also explained the text letters and maps brought by the communication pigeon Qingyun. Gu Mu was the first to say:

"Let's have our opinions, tomorrow at dawn a small team of enemies will come to attack us, what should we do?"

At the meeting, everyone shared the following understanding: First, the pigeon brought a contact letter from the Japanese invading army, which was true and fake. Second, the letter states that there are two correspondents, and two of the same letters. This one was caught by the Harrier Eagle, and the other one will deliver the letter! Based on this, it is inferred that tomorrow dawn the enemy's sneak attack will definitely come. Because they want to create opportunities for one person, we have to fulfill them.

What should I do if the enemy comes to sneak attack? Some people say that the intelligence enemy station is well manned, especially Gu Mu seconded Jiliu and Yun Duo and other masters in advance, so he has a greater grasp, so there is no need to transfer it prematurely, the intelligence enemy station always works in the enemy's cracks, and it is only necessary to wait for the transfer after midnight.

It was also said that since the enemy knew that the enemy was standing here, there would inevitably be a spy to report it, and we should try to catch this spy and knock out the enemy's eyes and ears. The solution: leave a few people here to fight guerrillas. Even if you can't catch this traitor, you can see who this traitor is. Some people even said:

"The number of enemies who came to attack the intelligence station was small, and the letter stated that there was only one squad. We're in an ambush on the enemy's way. Give your enemies a taste of our homemade grenades and wipe them out cleanly! ”

This opinion aroused the eyes of the comrades, and most of them expressed their approval. However, some people estimate that their strength is not large, and they do not have such a great appetite to swallow the enemy, a small squad armed to the teeth, it is best to have the main force to participate.

Some people also say that the person who sends the pigeon is unreliable, and he should be vigilant and be careful of his tricks!

In response to the shell lang's flowery intestines, the militia squad leader said to everyone: "We are being careful with the shell lang. Two militiamen have been sent to monitor him. He also participated in ambushes. If this battle is won and the enemy is completely annihilated, we will also clear up the misunderstanding of him and change our opinion of him......"

Whether an ambush should be fought or not, everyone's opinion is gradually unified. Gu Mu said to Fang Xiao: "Old Fang, what about you? It's time for you to have your say. Hope you join this ambush battle too! ”

Fang Xiao stood up and said, "Comrades, everyone's opinions are very good. I agree. This ambush war is not a question of whether to fight or not, but of where and how to fight. Isn't there a giant peak drawn on the enemy's road map? ”

"Yes!"

"I'm familiar with this giant peak. There is a narrow valley more than 200 meters long, flanked by steep cliffs, and we have set up an ambush on both sides of this valley, blocking the road with mines on one end and sealing the road with grenades on the other. The enemy who got into the pocket can't escape, not a single one is left, and half of it can't escape! ”

People who have been to the Giant Peak suddenly remembered the terrain on the side of the Giant Peak, and everyone was excited and shouted in unison. The militia captain said with more confidence: "With such good terrain, our militia squad can also take care of it." Old Fang, you can be our commander. ”

Fang Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Comrades, Chief Gu often says that the actions of a scout are often the first to take the lead in the actions of a large number of comrades. I'm not here alone, most of our reconnaissance section has come. We have come to explore the way for the main force, and the main force will divide its troops back to fight the enemy's frenzied clearing and 'sweep'. Wouldn't it be good for our reconnaissance section to fight a beautiful ambush with our comrades first, and then have a military-civilian cooperation to open the market? ”

Everyone shouted in unison. It was almost a cheer. (..)
