32 Hostage threats

We are not afraid of the night, and the enemy is most afraid of the night.

Elder Wei kept a suitable distance from the pursuing enemy, and Adjutant Zhan saw through the binoculars that there were only four of them, but one of them was the murderer of Commander Meng, and the other were all members of the guerrillas, so he naturally refused to let go.

Lu Er also said: "There is only one way up and down the mountain in this Mao'er Mountain, and if we force it to the top of the mountain, they will be cornered!" ”

Adjutant Zhan said viciously: "Let me catch this gang of thieves, I must have skinned them to avenge Commander Meng!" Lu Er echoed: "Avenge our hosts too!" ”

They continued to pursue up the mountain, and Sun Deqiang said to the elder Wei: "Why don't I shoot the enemy's commander with one shot, and they will be leaderless and become a plate of scattered sand!" ”

Elder Wei hurriedly stopped: "No, now that the enemy knows that we are on the mountain, even if we kill the enemy's commander, these enemies will not retreat, but will attract more enemies to come." ”

These enemies pursued for a while and then stopped, and Adjutant Zhan immediately asked why they stopped?

The chubby battalion commander Fan hurriedly explained: "Adjutant Zhan, the brothers have been chasing all night, and their stomachs are already hungry like playing drums, should we stop first to eat some dry food and replenish our physical strength, anyway, the enemy is blocked in the mountains, and there is no way to escape!" ”

Adjutant Zhan looked at Lu Er and the soldiers, and when he saw that they were all tired, he nodded in agreement.

Lu Er hurriedly took out a string of sausages from his pocket and presented it to Adjutant Zhan.

Elder Wei closed his right eye and saw that the enemy was resting, so he said to his companion: "Since the enemy is resting, then we will also take the opportunity to rest, hurry up and eat something to replenish our strength." He took out pancakes and bacon from his pocket and gave them to his companions.

After lunch between the two sides, the enemy continued to pursue the mountain, and the elder Wei and his comrades retreated to the top of the mountain while resisting.

Great Elder Wei easily did not shoot, but once he fired, the bullet fired would surely take the life of an enemy.

Pang Hutou exclaimed: "Comrade Elder Wei, your marksmanship is so powerful, it is more accurate than mine!" ”

The elder Wei did not reply, and Sun Deqiang said: "Comrades, we have to save bullets, because we are running out of ammunition!" ”

The further you go up the mountain, the steeper the mountain road becomes, and the mountain is like a cat's ear, with a top and a round mountainside.

The enemy found that his opponent's marksmanship was exceptionally accurate, so he didn't dare to get too close, and as soon as he saw the opponent's figure, he fired indiscriminately, and of course these bullets failed to hit the elder Wei and them.

Adjutant Zhan once again took the binoculars and looked up the mountain, and the elder Wei also closed his right eye and looked at him.

They all saw each other very clearly, and the elder Wei even saw the beads of sweat and hair on Adjutant Zhan's face, and Adjutant Zhan said to Battalion Commander Fan: "Quickly bring me a rifle!" ”

Adjutant Zhan took the formal rifle, pulled the bolt, loaded a bullet, and then aimed it at Da Lao Wei, ready to shoot, but he saw through the binoculars that the other party was also holding a Mauser rifle and aimed the muzzle at himself.

"Are you a sharpshooter and you can hit me from such a distance?" Adjutant Zhan had already taken the lead in pulling the trigger.

However, the bullet he fired stuck to the cloak of the elder Wei and missed.

Elder Wei also pulled the trigger, and the bullet went directly through the telescope in Adjutant Zhan's hand, shattering it. Adjutant Zhan was taken aback, if this bullet was one inch lower, it would directly kill him.

He immediately urged Battalion Commander Fan to lead his troops to continue the pursuit up the mountain.

Elder Wei put away his rifle and said, "Let's continue to retreat to the top of the mountain, and strive to find a hidden hiding place before it gets dark!" ”

Pang Hutou said: "I have been to the top of Mao'er Mountain many times, and there is no hidden hiding place at all!" ”

When it was dark, they stood on the top of the hill and looked down, and saw only the enemy who had stopped their pursuit, gathered the weeds, lit the bonfires and torches to light the warmth, and began to have dinner.

The eldest elder Wei took out the last food from his pocket, distributed it to his companions, and said, "We must break through at night, otherwise if it is dawn tomorrow, we will inevitably be surrounded and suppressed by the enemy!" ”

The enemy could make a fire to keep warm, but they didn't dare.

Pang Hutou said: "If I can have a pot of wine now, I will have no regrets even if I die!" ”

The four of them huddled under a large rock, sheltered from the wind, but it was still very cold overnight.

Xiao An asked: "I don't know if Captain Cui has already shaken off the enemy's pursuit?" ”

Elder Wei closed his right eye and looked at the enemy on the hillside, and saw Adjutant Zhan, Lu Er, and Battalion Commander Fan eating barbecue around the bonfire, drinking and chatting.

At this time, a group of soldiers of the security regiment dressed in black uniforms and wearing white leggings rushed from the bottom of the mountain, and they also held a group of people tied up with flowers.

The leader of the security team led by him wore a military hat crookedly, came to Adjutant Zhan, raised his hand to salute, and reported: "Report to Adjutant Zhan, the little one has arrested the family members of the red bandits, please deal with it!" ”

Lu Er saw these bound people, so he said to Adjutant Zhan: "That's them, these are the father and mother and two brothers of **An Xiaosan!" ”

Adjutant Zhan said to him: "Lu Er, this adjutant will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, if you do it, I will keep you by my side for reuse!" ”

Lu Er hurriedly responded and asked, "Sir, what important things do you want to do in a small way?" ”

"Go and shout to these ** on the top of the mountain, let them lay down their arms and surrender, or they will kill his father and brother!" Adjutant Zhan leisurely took a sip of rice wine.

The security guard in black uniform escorted Xiao An's parents and brother, followed Lu Er to the top of the mountain, found a flat place, and stopped.

The soldiers of these security regiments carried lanterns and torches.

Lu Er opened his throat and shouted at the top of the mountain.

"An Xiaosan, look at who these are, if you don't surrender again, I will shoot them!"

Lu Er's shouting immediately attracted the attention of the elder Wei, and An Xiaosan hurriedly followed the prestige, and when he saw his father and brother who were tied up by five flowers, he couldn't help crying. Sun Deqiang blamed him: "What are you crying about, the enemy is so despicable, he actually tied up your father and brother as a hostage!" ”

Elder Wei Xian also closed his right eye and looked at Lu Er, these hostages were all tied up with five flowers, and there were rags stuffed in their mouths.

Lu Er pulled out a machete from his belt, rested it on Xiao An's mother's neck, and shouted: "An Xiaosan, you can see clearly, if you don't surrender again, I will kill her first!" ”

Xiao An immediately stood up and was about to rush down the hill, but Sun Deqiang hurriedly grabbed him.

Da Lao Wei picked up his Mauser rifle, pulled down the bolt, aimed it at the machete in the second-hand road, and pulled the trigger.

A bullet was fired, and the machete blade in the middle of the road was second-hand, and as soon as his hand shook, the machete in his hand fell to the ground, and Lu Er and the soldiers of the security regiment were also startled.

"Yo, you still dare to shoot, and we are ready to shoot!" The soldiers of these security regiments immediately picked up their spears, pulled down the bolt, and pointed their guns at An Xiaosan's relatives.
