The eldest lady hummed tiredly. Sister-in-law Zhongkou sat up and listened quietly, thinking to herself: I wonder if the team is still in Xiaozhengyuan Village? Whether the opinions of Captain Song and the instructor who just arrived are unanimous is really worrying. Unconsciously worried, he said: "It's really strange, why did the rooster crow so early!" ”

"Hey......" Aunt Qi also sighed and said, "In this chaotic year, even the rooster is not allowed to crow." ”

Zheng Xiaomei also sat up, put her arm around the shoulders of her sister-in-law, smiled softly and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhongkou looked at Zheng Xiaomei and whispered, "I didn't think about anything. ”

Zheng Xiaomei's eyes turned red, and she leaned into the ear of her sister-in-law and said, "Come on, my sister, I know, you are thinking about your husband Comrade Zhongguchi, who was heroically wounded in heaven, right?" ”

"Don't ......," said Nakaguchi's sister-in-law with red eyes, "don't talk nonsense, there's no shadow!" I'm thinking about the problem with the squad.

Xiao Xiaoqin squeezed her head over to listen, and hurriedly interjected at Zheng Xiaomei next to her: "Sister-in-law is not like you, she thinks about protecting each other and protecting the qin all day long, and she hides the letter like a baby, I can't wait to ask him to marry you tomorrow!" After saying that, he laughed indifferently.

Zheng Xiaomei pressed Xiao Xiaoqin's head all of a sudden, and Xiao Xiaoqin remembered to say it, and suddenly shrank into the arms of her sister-in-law, and whispered with tears in her two-year-old eyes: "Good sister, don't be sad, I didn't mean to......"

Aunt Qi belched softly and said: "Mr. Zhongguchi's injury is almost healed, and an underground comrade was also driven out of Qingdao by the big spy Fangzi, I don't know where to go, now I can only keep it firmly in mind, we may give them a chance to vent!" ”

A whirring wind blew through the air. Zheng Xiaomei calmed down and listened for a while, pointed to Xiao Xiaoqin's head, turned around and gently hugged Sister-in-law Zhongkou's shoulders and said, "Have you heard, the three of us are so good, and some people are red-eyed, what nonsense are we godsisters, small group." I really want to find these rumor-mongers and tear his dog's mouth apart. ”

Xiao Xiaoqin snorted angrily when she heard this: "The person who said this is full of food, and he has nothing to do to let out spicy farts." People want to be good, no one cares, they want to be good! One life and one death, not for a lifetime!

"Don't ......," said the sister-in-law, "don't be angry at these gossip, isn't it good that we are not bad in fighting the enemy?" No matter what it does, it won't learn to learn if it's angry! ”

As he was talking, he saw a crowd running from the east on the road, and his sister-in-law wanted to inquire about the situation in the northeast, so she got up to meet her. Zheng Xiaomei and Xiao Xiaoqin hurriedly jumped up and followed. The eldest lady moved slowly, and when she arrived, the sister-in-law had already inquired about the enemy. I saw her turn around and say to the little sister: "You and Xueqin follow the eldest mother, and I will go to Sangou Village for a while." ”

The sister-in-law said that the little sister should not interject, and the contact location was stipulated, so she picked up a pistol and walked towards the northeast in a hurry.

Sister-in-law Nakaguchi panted into Sangou Village with a pistol, jumped into the temporary headquarters of the martial arts team, her red face was dripping with sweat, her big eyes were shining, and when she saw that Song Jiliu and the instructor had not left, she shouted loudly: "What are you doing here?" I'm afraid you won't go, but you won't go! If you don't listen to Captain Song, the enemy will come up, and it will be too late to leave. ”

The new instructor and his men were stunned. At this time, Peng Dacun also ran in and reported: "The enemy has been found on all sides!" ”

Song Jiliu roared angrily: "Prepare to fight!" Then he glanced at the instructor and others, pulled out the shell gun with a flick of his hand, put on the bullet with a bang, and strode out with high spirits.

The instructor and others ran out after Captain Song, only to see that the team members were running out with guns in the gray night. Listening to a few crisp gunshots in the northeast, and then the gunfire and artillery became more and more intense, on the west bank of the Yellow Sea, both sides of the old Zhu Ji River roared together, and the earthquake trembled.

Captain Song ran to the gate to see that the fleeing crowd was helping the old and the young, and was hurrying to the outside of the village, spreading out to the southwest, and countless people from the northeast were running here, and men, women, and children were successively shaded into the undulating depressions of Mailang and the woods without long leaves.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the sound of the enemy's tank cars came from the embankment of the old Zhu Zhu Ji River. In the northeast, several villages rose into the air with pillars of green smoke.

Suddenly, a big storm in the northeast of the village rolled up the dust, and a cavalry rushed from the south to the east of the village, and gradually saw that it was the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army. The soldiers, dressed in khaki military uniforms, crouched on horseback, galloping north in the billowing dust and mist, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded like a torrent that drowned everything, and they rushed straight to the old Zhu Ji's bath.

The stray bullets that followed squeaked over people's heads. Armed workers, guerrillas, and militiamen all took gunpoints behind the low walls around the village, nervously preparing for battle.

Sister-in-law Nakaguchi and Captain Song and the instructor ran up the ladder like the wind and looked around. Nakaguchi's sister-in-law had long since learned through the fleeing masses where the enemy was ambushing his troops.

When Captain Song saw that the cavalry regiment was rushing towards the silent area, which was actually the area where the enemy was concentrated, he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted to Captain Song: "They should be inserted along the Huailin River beach to the southwest of a ditch, which is the weak point of the enemy's encirclement." ”

The instructor and others also slapped their thighs. Seeing that the cavalry was blocked by strong fire, the cavalry, which was covering in the rear, fell from their horses more than a dozen soldiers. A few horses were left uncontrolled, so they ran wildly. Sister-in-law shouted to Song Jiliu: "I'll lead the way!" Without waiting for Song Jiliu to answer, he had already gotten out of the house and ran outside the village.

Nakaguchi's sister-in-law intercepted a big red horse at the entrance of the village, grabbed the reins, flew on the horse, and chased the cavalry battalion against the flow of bullets, regardless of the strafing of the planes, the roar of the tanks, and the roar of the enemy soldiers. The big red horse seemed to understand the will of the people, and galloped forward obediently like an arrow. Nakaguchi was lying in the saddle, her hair blown by the wind and fluttering behind her head.

Bullets whistled around Nakaguchi's sister-in-law, and the shells kept exploding in front of her, and she didn't seem to feel it at all, just rushed forward. She rushed through the layers of smoke and dust, and caught up with the dusty, billowing cavalry. ……

When the instructor saw Nakaguchi's sister-in-law running outside the village, he shouted behind him and chased after him. I don't know how many shells squeaked and fell, and he quickly fell to his stomach, and a series of explosions shook the earth, and shrapnel, clods of earth, and branches fell from the air.

The instructor stood up, turned around, saw Song Jiliu standing majestically at the corner of the street, hurried over, and heard Peng Dacun reporting to him: "The organs of the Binhai Naval District, the old Sixth Regiment, and the county brigade are crossing the river, and the enemy is surrounding, and there are many casualties. Now our troops have rushed through Yigou Village and are retreating here. ”

"This ......"

"But on the other side, a large number of enemies were also found rushing in this direction, and they were still seven or eight miles away, and the enemy's car convoy had already appeared. It seems that a group of enemies from the east are heading for Wang Village. Take advantage of this opportunity to run and rush east, and you can also break out of the encirclement. Peng Dacun finished speaking in one breath, and gasped for breath.

"......No," the instructor hurriedly said, "No, the enemy is coming from the northeast, and there must be a sweeping team to intercept it." ”

"Comrade instructor!" Peng Dacun said anxiously, "Otherwise, hurry up and build fortifications in Sangou Village and persist in the village war."

"This ......," said the instructor again, "then what can I do, this village will be targeted in a moment!" ”

"Comrade Omura!" Song Jiliu asked Peng Dacun, "Do you think the enemy in the north is coming to seize the old Zhuji River embankment?" ”

"yes, I think it must be!"

"Yes!" The instructor hurriedly interjected and said, "Then just to flash us behind, the enemy will be immediately attracted by the troops of the old sixth regiment, and we can break through." ”

"Please stop!" Song Jiliu stretched out his big hand to stop the instructor, and said to Peng Dacun in a thunderous voice, "Wait a minute, if the enemy occupies the river embankment and just blocks the retreat of the old Sixth Regiment, then the organs and troops of our Binhai Naval District will be completely exposed to the open ground and surrounded by the enemy on all sides, then there is a danger of being wiped out, isn't it?" ”

"Yes!" Peng Dacun wiped a handful of sweat and replied urgently, "Yes, that's the case!" ”

"Assemble now!" Song Jiliu waved his hand to the soldiers, turned back to the instructor and said, "Our first team of martial artists must run to seize the river embankment and cover the breakthrough of the military region organs and the old sixth regiment!"

The instructor didn't say anything.

"Comrade instructor!" Captain Song stared at the instructor and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The instructor coughed dryly and hesitated.

As soon as Captain Song turned around, he hurriedly ran up the ladder and stood on the roof of the house to look in the northeast direction, the enemy's car team had already galloped towards him, and the infantry was rushing southward, and it would be bad if he hesitated any longer.

Captain Song hurriedly ran down from the room, raised two shell guns and shouted: "Comrades, we must seize the river embankment and cover the breakthrough of the troops of the military region!" ”

The team members ran over with a bang.

"No!" The instructor shouted, "No! Our armed engineering team is not a direct combat unit, and can only go behind enemy lines to fight the enemy! ”

Song Jiliu ignored him, waved his thick arm, and shouted: "Comrades, rush" and then jumped out of the street, a small group of martial arts team members followed him closely, rushing forward like a fierce tiger, and the instructor rubbed his hands in anger. Seeing that his own signal soldier also rushed forward.

Only sparse machine guns were heard in the direction of Yigou Village, and our troops were withdrawing from the battle, and the enemy was also moving forces to pursue them.

At this time, the stragglers who could already see the enemy in the north were screaming and rushing towards the embankment of the old Zhu Ji River, and their troops were hundreds of times more than the squad. Captain Song gritted his teeth and rushed forward with his team. Enemy bullets came at the ground, and several bullets landed in the middle of the squad formation. A puff of dust from the shell swept through, and the instructor suddenly fell.

But Captain Song didn't see the instructor being shot, so he only took advantage of the embankment to bend down and run vigorously, regardless of the enemy's bullets. Look at the more than a hundred meters away, the enemy's outpost is about to rush to the river embankment. Captain Song ran hard for a while to seize the favorable terrain first, and with his right hand he picked up the shell gun and shot at the enemy who rushed up, and the enemy fell down.
