Chapter 35: Section 2 (2nd Watch)
Section 2 leads the snake out of the hole
Back at the brigade headquarters, the comrades of the town office were anxiously waiting for Hong Mei.
They didn't come from Weishenme secretly, as soon as they saw Hong Mei, several cadres surrounded them in a hurry, and Hong Mei, who was talking and arguing, was going to be deaf!
Need! Ask for food! Ask for money!
Since yesterday, more than 1,000 villagers who have been transferred from the north have settled down, and hundreds of villagers have come one after another this morning! The most troublesome thing is that we have just received a notice from the county party committees of Yi County and Mancheng County, and a large number of villagers and troops will be transferred over in the next few days.
Hong Mei heard that Zhang Er's King Kong couldn't figure out his head! Isn't the first stage of the sweep over? The devil is currently cowering in the city and stronghold, isn't there no action? How did you start to transfer the countrymen and troops?
After reading the documents sent by the traffic officer, Hong Mei probably understood what was going on!
It turned out that after the first stage of the sweep was forced to stop, the devils began to carry out a campaign to strengthen law and order, and they used some villages and towns in the eight-way base area occupied during the sweep to forcibly merge and relocate the surrounding villages, and drove the young and middle-aged people to the areas where they were concentrated and encircled for use as labor, while the old, weak, women and children were exterminated on the spot.
This campaign to strengthen law and order first began in the two counties of Yi County and Mancheng, and almost all the villages and towns from the county seat to the mountainous areas were designated as fortified areas by the devils. A large number of Chinese people have been killed in the land where their ancestors have lived for generations, and countless young and middle-aged people have been captured and put into "human circles" like locked animals, where they work as cattle and horses as laborers.
The document is to ask the Lingman Special District to temporarily accept the villagers who escaped, and the special area led by Hong Mei and them is next to the fortified area circled by these devils in the northeast and due east, so the villagers who receive the transfer are the first to bear the brunt.
The special area has only been established for a long time, and various tasks have begun to be carried out one after another, and now there is a shortage of people! No money if you want money! When you want food and little food! I haven't eaten enough yet, and this is going to come to tens of thousands of fellows! What a whole thing this is!
This year's summer grain harvest is not good, and many places have suffered disasters, floods, hailstorms, and insect plagues, and they are all counting on the autumn grain to be able to get more and survive the famine in winter and spring.
Originally, Hong Mei still had a little bottom in her heart, Yang Bangzi and the grain they snatched back from Yinfang Town, the special area still kept some storage, and there were thousands of catties in Chuankou Town, but the result was a fire of fine light, Hong Mei was still thinking about where to transfer some food from her small book yesterday.
There is still more than a month to go before the autumn grain is harvested, and the military region also attaches special importance to the autumn grain, and holds a special meeting to convey the instructions on ensuring the harvest of the autumn grain; Hong Mei has also assigned the task of rushing to harvest the autumn grain to all the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of the special region.
Why hasn't the damn Yang stick come back yet! Hong Mei scolded in her heart! He needs to be around and be able to discuss some serious things.
People can't help but chatter, Hong Mei scolded like this, and Yang Stick on the mountain road of Downhorse Guan sneezed five or six times in a row! The shovel monkey and Xiao Liangzi next to him both asked if they had a cold? The dew was heavy at night, and I was napping in a car in a hurry, and it was blown by the mountain wind.
Yang Bangzi shook his head and said that it was okay, there was no cold, who must be talking about Lao Tzu!
On the mountain road, dozens of carts pulled by livestock, and 100 wheelbarrows pushed by people, like a long dragon marching forward, Yang Bangzi sat on the side of the road, and shovel monkeys, Xiao Liangzi on the fire, smoking cigarette bags and pots.
After meeting Hong Mei that day, the special commissioners of several of their special districts secretly held a meeting together, and agreed that the burning of the warehouse must have been done by the spies, and there were traitors in our team, and it was difficult to check the number of people, so Yang Bangzi came up with a trick, pretending to decorate the warehouse, and noisily going to transport materials, to see if he could lure the snake out of the hole and let the spies jump out by themselves!
This trick Ah Hongmei said, call a Ming Xiu plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang, obviously it is to transfer materials, true and false to confuse the spies, use fake warehouses to lure the enemy into being fooled, and secretly transfer the materials to the rear safely.
Yang stick is in accordance with the jihua set at the meeting, and leads the team to go to the horse post to pull the materials with great fanfare, if the spy is a traitor or something, Captain Yang personally leads the team to escort the troops, it is definitely an important material, this wind is released with strength!
Seeing that the crossing was about to be crossed, the mountain road winded through the valley, the road was too narrow, and the carts and wheelbarrows moved slowly one after the other.
Suddenly, Xiao Liangzi pointed to the cliff and whispered to Yang Bangzi to take a look! Following the direction of his finger, Yang Bangzi raised his eyes to look, and on the cliff at the pass not far away, several figures could be seen shaking.
The shovel monkey, whose legs were not very sharp, jumped from the car to the side of the road behind the boulder with a "whoosh", and the box gun in his hand rubbed the trigger.
Yang stick did not move, squinted and beckoned the shovel monkey to get into the car, no need to be nervous, a few soldiers who also pulled the bolt of the gun looked at the mountain with a puzzled expression, looked at Yang stick, put the gun on his back, and pushed the cart away.
Helping the shovel monkey into the cart, Yang Stick rushed to the front of the convoy at a trot. As soon as the first car of the convoy had passed the pass, the fighters who were opening the road stopped, nervously holding their guns and looking ahead.
A group of people blocked on both sides of the avenue, dozens of meters away, loaded with guns and ammunition, and did not talk, and everyone covered their faces with towels.
Yang Bangzi came over and greeted him twice with a smile, then turned around and told the handlebar and the soldiers who escorted the car, unload the car!
The soldiers didn't understand what was going on, this is, Yang Stick has already gone to untie the rope of the sack! The sacks and straw bags on the carriage were thrown to the ground one by one, and the people with their faces covered on the opposite side came over and carried the sacks over with their shoulders and hands, put them on their backs, and turned down the mountain beam along the slope.
The empty carriage arrived dozens of meters, and the people on the side of the road carried out a dozen or so of the same sacks from the ditch on the side of the road, threw them onto the cart, tied them up, and waved their hands, and the cart creaked and walked again.
So a cart came, unloaded one, and then filled another, and in half an hour, dozens of carts and a hundred and ten carts loaded with sacks were all replaced with new ones.
After Zuihou finished changing a car, Yang Bangzi and the masked man shook hands and patted each other on the shoulder, which was regarded as a farewell, and after they broke up, they each chased their own teams.
The convoy was soon descending the winding mountain road to the town of Kawaguchi, and the masked men carrying sacks disappeared into the mountains without a trace.
When there were still a few miles to go from Kawaguchi, Yang Bangzi asked the convoy to stop, he stood on a carriage, raised his voice and told the soldiers to sing loudly together!
Because the soldiers are about to arrive at the station, they can have a good rest tonight, and they are all very happy, and when they hear Captain Yang rap, they are all in good spirits! What are you singing?
Yang Bangzi thought for a while and got up: "Big knife!" Slash down on the devils' heads! Preparation! Sing! ”
Hundreds of mouths! Hundreds of broken gong throats! Hundreds of seriously out-of-tune voices! Coupled with dozens of mouths of animals that are also excitedly screaming, this chorus is really earth-shattering!
The people of Kawaguchi Town are busy and wondering, why is it rolling up on this sunny day! Listen to it, it's not right, why are there donkeys and mules barking in the thunder?
After a while, I understood that this was singing! The children and the girls were running around with the adults, but now they found fun, ran out of the town like a swarm of hornets, and ran out of the town for miles to see the excitement!
Yang Bangzi asked the convoy to pull out and told the soldiers not to stop singing, and to sing whatever they wanted! There's a fucking veteran oilboy who asks if the little widow is in the grave? Yang Bangzi said don't talk about the little widow, the old widow goes to the grave!
He also took out handfuls of sour dates and shelled peanuts from his satchel and distributed them to the children, who went back to town and shouted, "The convoy pulling supplies is back!" The grain is pulled back! ”
The children shouted from the north end of the town to the south end, and then shouted to the west side of the avenue, so noisy that Hong Mei's skull, who was already upset, was about to explode! The heart said that you are a dead Yang stick, come back when you come back, the ghost cries and the wolf howls such an ugly movement, and you also help the children to scream!
However, Officer Jin saw some clues, poured a glass of water for Hong Mei, and whispered: "Captain Yang is not simple, and he knows how to lure snakes out of the hole!" ”
