"Big brother, you wait here, I'll go up there and see what's going on with the master." The female bandit leader, who finally couldn't hold her breath, said a word to the company commander of the Eighth Route Army who was standing beside her, and left in a hurry.

Wei Xin looked at Liu Wumei's back and thought: It's not to see what's going on with the master, but to see what's going on with the black donkey! He looked around, there were still about forty or fifty people guarding the area of the walled gate called the South Heavenly Gate, the barricades had re-blocked the gate, and the Lewis light machine gun was not put up again, but was held by a minion with his hand, * facing down on the ground. The company commander of the Eighth Route Army especially noticed that the two ancient guns were pushed to the left and right of the Nantianmen by the frame cart, and the people who seemed to be gunners were still filling the barrels*.

- This thing is like scrap metal on the real battlefield, but in the face of the narrow and empty path outside the walled gate, the power of the two cannons condescendingly opened fire together and bombarded it should not be underestimated.

I hope Liu Wumei can bring the wounded over steadily! Wei Xin prayed silently in his heart, and at this time, he had a vague premonition that something might go wrong.

As soon as Liu Wumei arrived at the wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the center of the cottage, she immediately understood the situation, and a large number of minions loaded their guns and pressed the Eighth Route Army in the house and did not allow them to come out; Dozens of other long and short guns, including Czech machine guns, were all pointed in the direction of Nantianmen, as if facing a great enemy.

"Black donkey, you bastard, get out of here!" Liu Wumei couldn't help but tremble with anger: "Master, master!" ”

In the angry screams of the big boss, the master appeared first, and Liu Wumei rushed up with a brisk step, grabbed his collar, and whispered close to his face: "What are you doing slowly?" You want to destroy the cottage completely, don't you?! ”

Unexpectedly, before the frightened and helpless master opened his mouth to answer, the voice of the black donkey shouted from a height not far away: "Big boss, I'm here!" The brothers didn't want to be eaten by the Eighth Route Army, so they surrounded their wounded soldiers as meat tickets! Please leave us a way out! ”

"Fart!" Liu Wumei let go and threw away her master, she followed the voice and saw the shadow of a black donkey squatting on the roof of a house: "Three masters, do you want to rebel?" When will it be your turn to call the shots? Get the hell out of here! ”

The black donkey didn't move, but continued to shout on the roof: "Big boss, I don't dare to rebel!" You want to recognize the commander of the Eighth Route Army as the eldest brother, and none of us can stop it, but tonight they came to the door, and the brothers had to make this decision in order to save their lives! ”

Liu Wumei was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, turned around and asked the master beside her viciously: "Did you give them the idea?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, big boss, how dare I have so much courage!" Master stretched out his hands and shook them wildly: "At first, the wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army refused to come out, they heard the gunshots of Nantianmen, and they were afraid that we would deceive them; Later, the third master ran over and ordered to surround the house of the Eighth Road, saying that once these wounded soldiers were released, the Eighth Road outside the village would have no fear, and would let go of their hands and feet to attack the cottage. ”

After hearing this, Liu Wumei made up her mind, jumped on a huge flat stone, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Brothers, I have heard it clearly, I have already negotiated with the commander of the Eighth Route Army, and I will immediately send their wounded soldiers out of the cottage!" Those eight roads outside the stockade are here to pick up people, not to beat us! The shooting just now was a complete misunderstanding! Now, the people surrounding the house of the Eighth Route Army immediately withdrew for me! ”

As soon as the big boss spoke, there were naturally many followers, and the minions who originally surrounded the houses of the wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were withdrawn from Hulala. Seeing this, the black donkey on the roof was so anxious that he slapped his thigh:

"Big boss, don't be deceived by the Eight Roads! There were several machine guns that they had just set up outside to strafe, and they almost missed the Nantianmen! Pick up people? Will you bring so many machine guns with you when you pick up someone?! ”

One sentence alerted the master again, he hurriedly walked under the boulder where Liu Wumei was standing, and begged on his back: "Big boss, the third brother is right, I have always seen that Chief Wei is not embarrassed or embarrassed to come tonight, let's pay attention to it!" ”

Liu Wumei saw that her master was also in chaos, and she shouted angrily: "Master, didn't you already hear it in Juyi Hall just now!" My eldest brother was shot and turned off by his commander, and now his commander wants him to take the blame and bring back all the wounded soldiers here! What we have to do is to release the people as soon as possible - send away the wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and everyone will be quiet! ”

While shouting, Liu Wumei jumped off the boulder. She saw that the minions obeyed her orders and withdrew from the siege, and she was already relieved: these subordinates still listened to her after all. As for the bastard of the black donkey, it's not too late to clean him up after he gets through tonight.

However, something unexpected happened to Liu Wumei.

The black donkey on the roof saw that the general trend was gone, and decided to break the net, and he secretly ordered a few dead friends around him to slip off the ground while it was dark, turn to the back of a house where the wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were wounded, and shoehorned a stringed * into the lattice of the back window.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and there was a burst of exclamations and curses from the smoke-filled room, and then several guns were fired through the windows and doors, knocking down several of the unsuspecting bandits.

Seeing this, the black donkey immediately shouted: "The Eighth Route Army should be joined by the outside, brothers do it!" ”

Some gangsters who didn't know the truth really thought for a while that the Eighth Route Army in the house was taking the initiative, and hurriedly dispersed to find cover, and opened fire on the room. At this moment, Liu Wumei, the female bandit leader, couldn't control the situation even if she jumped to her feet and shouted.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, the most shocking person was Wei Xin, who stayed in the Nantian Gate: The more you are afraid of something, the more you come, why did you actually fight later! Wei Xin ran in the direction of the gun, but he was not allowed to run away two steps, but several bandit minions behind him suddenly rushed up and threw him to the ground, and the cold muzzle of the gun was firmly against his temple - that was the few men arranged by the master just now, specially to secretly watch the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, once he made a move, he would take it immediately.

"You fucking bastards!" Wei Xin, whose arms had been tied with a hemp rope in a blink of an eye, couldn't help but scold: "Don't you bandits want to die?" Didn't see how many regular troops there were outside! If you hold on to my wounded again, the Eighth Route Army will raze this place to the ground! ”

A bandit suspected that Wei Xin was talking too much, so he took out a rag from the pocket of his cotton coat and plugged the mouth of the company commander of the Eighth Route Army. In his whimpering, muffled voice, he stumbled towards the back of the cottage.

Liu Shu initially learned the news that Wei Xin had verbally transmitted back to the squad leader of the 8th Company, and although he was skeptical, he still agreed to his plan, and he asked the deputy company commander of the 8th Company, Sun, to be fully alerted and prepare to welcome the wounded comrades out of the bandits' lair:

"Don't let your guard down, especially when our wounded come out, we must strictly prevent bandits from pretending to be taking the opportunity to raid us."

Deputy Company Commander Sun couldn't help but admire the instructor's scheming: he didn't expect this step at all. Immediately afterwards, his thinking was also opened, so he suggested to Liu Shu that he immediately transfer a few commanders and fighters from the 7th Company to help identify people. Liu Shu immediately agreed.

This time, Liu Shu put a lot of thought into the sorting of the team. It is said that the officers and men of Wei Xin's 7th Company had just been to the Black Stone Cliff, and the terrain was relatively familiar, so they should take the lead. However, after all, Wei Xin had just been locked up by himself, the acting battalion commander, and the 7th company commander also openly violated organizational discipline and recognized brother and sister with the female bandit leader, which made Liu Shu worried. Therefore, in the end, when arranging the order of troops, he placed the three platoons of the 8th Company in the front and center, and the two platoons of the 7th Company in the last. Only Wei Xin, the commander of the 7th Company, was responsible for leading the way at the front.

Soon, Liu Shu sent someone to find a deputy platoon commander and two soldiers of the 7th Company from the rear team, and he asked these three people and the deputy company commander of the 8th Company Sun to lie in ambush at the front, and identify at any time whether the people who came out of the bandits' nest were their comrades-in-arms of the company.

The long wait began.

And as time went on, the instructor's suspicions began to gradually increase: he had doubts about the loyalty of Wei Xin, the commander of the 7th Company, for fear that this big man who practiced martial arts would turn against the water and attack the Eighth Route Army. Now, he must be prepared with both hands!

Liu Shu regained his grip on the forefront, dragging Deputy Company Commander Sun of the 8th Company to the side and avoiding the three people of the 7th Company.

"Deputy Company Commander Sun, I want your people to be ready, I have a very bad premonition, and the battle may break out again next."

The deputy company commander of the 8th Company asked nervously: "Instructor, are you worried that the bandits will not believe their word and not let our people out?" ”

"I'm worried that it's not just the bandits who don't keep their word, but also our 7th company commander." Liu Shu replied in a low voice, but gritted his teeth.

The deputy company commander of the 8th company finally couldn't hold back any longer, he looked at the acting battalion commander earnestly, and said urgently: "Instructor, to tell you the truth, I definitely don't believe that Lao Wei will betray our team, I have known him since he arrived in northern Shaanxi, after so many years, what kind of person is the commander of the 7th company, we should all know." ”

Liu Shu shook his head slowly and heavily: "People are subject to change, out of responsibility for the revolutionary cause, we can't guarantee anyone!" Prepare immediately, I want you to remember that once Wei Xin rebels, all the commanders and fighters of the second battalion must kill him! ”

The deputy commander of the 8th Company was so shocked by Liu Shu's last words that he couldn't help but clench the barrel of the pony pistol in his hand: he never imagined that one day he would kill his comrades-in-arms who had been fighting side by side for many years!

Suddenly, an explosion was heard in the direction of the bandits' lair, and immediately after, the gunfire began to rage. Listen to the sound, not around the gate, but in the depths of the bandit's lair!

"Our wounded!" Liu Shu fell to his feet and blurted out.

The most worrying thing still happened, although Liu Shu had considered the possibility of the defection of the 7th company commander before, but also considered that the dozens of wounded and escorted soldiers who were left in the bandits' lair could not all fight back with their company commanders, and once that happened, the commanders and fighters who opposed the mutiny would undoubtedly face a brutal massacre! Now, it seems, my judgment will be fulfilled.

Without further ado, the instructor only thought for a few seconds, and then decisively gave an order to the deputy commander of the 8th company: while the bandits at the gate had not yet reacted, the two assault squads immediately touched it!
