On the way to the Black Rock Cliff, Wu Zijian's heart was actually hanging, he had learned the methods of the three leaders of the gang, and his second battalion commander Wei Xin belonged to the needle-tip character in terms of temperament and temperament. Therefore, along the way, he kept urging the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion to march quickly, and always let the deputy company commander, two light machine guns, and a few flower machine guns line up at the front of the team, so that once it is necessary to save people, he can instantly use the strongest assault fire to smash open the gate of the Black Rock Cliff Cottage.

was struggling along the rugged mountain road, and ran into the three soldiers sent by Wei Xin head-on, reporting that their battalion was safe and sound, and Liu Wumei, who was the big boss, had entered the cottage to preside over the situation. The commander of the Eighth Route Army, who received the report, couldn't help but blurt out: Amitabha, God bless!

The rest of the story became calm.

Wu Zijian first ordered the team to stop advancing, and after personally inquiring about the details of the soldiers sent by Wei Xin, he immediately decided that he would lead a squad of soldiers to continue to the Black Stone Cliff, while the main force of the entire 5th Company rested in place and waited for the next order.

Several commanders of the 5th Company expressed concern about this, but Wu Zijian insisted on doing so. In his opinion, since Wei Xin has not encountered hostility since he went up the mountain, and Liu Wumei has returned to the cottage at this moment, the whole situation is no longer in trouble, and he will take more than 100 people to "worship the mountain" again, which is too much, and it will also have an adverse impact on the future plan of absorbing bandits.

In fact, according to his previous style, since he knew that Wei Xin was safe and sound, it was okay to simply not go to the Black Stone Cliff Cottage, after all, he and the female bandit leader had almost nothing to say. But now, after working hard for dozens of miles of mountain roads, I have arrived at a place very close to the Black Rock Cliff, and if I go home, it is equivalent to tossing a round trip in vain, and I am really unwilling; In addition, the detachment leader himself also had an important mystery to inquire about the female bandit leader, so in the end he chose to go to the Black Rock Cliff Cottage.

Wu Zijian gave an order to the commander of the 5th Company, and if there was no gunfire in the direction of Heishi Cliff an hour after he set off, the whole company of the 5th Company would immediately turn around and return. At the same time, if you meet the master of the Black Stone Cliff Bandit Gang on the way back, you will be released immediately, and you must not embarrass the other party.

The commander of the 5th company reluctantly agreed, and at the same time strongly asked Wu Zijian to take a squad to the Black Rock Cliff and add a few additional soldiers armed with flower machine guns. The commander of the Eighth Route Army smiled and nodded in acquiescence.

Accompanied by the three soldiers sent by Wei Xin, there were also a few minions of the cottage, and when they heard that the commander of the Eighth Route Army was about to visit the cottage in person, they hurriedly chose one person to take the lead in returning the letter. So, when Wu Zijian and his entourage arrived at the gate of the Black Stone Cliff Village, Liu Wumei, the female bandit leader, was already standing side by side with the second battalion commander of the Xu Brigade Detachment, her eldest brother.

Don't tell lies in front of real people, Wu Zijian and Liu Wumei frankly told each other as soon as they met that they had originally brought a company, and they hoped that the big boss would understand Haihan.

"Chief Wu, don't say that, it's me who has no way to govern my subordinates, which makes Chief Wu laugh," Liu Wumei saw that the other party treated each other with sincerity, and her previous concerns were all relieved: "Where are the brothers of that company now?" Do you invite you to the cottage together, or do I send someone to bring wine and food to treat you to hospitality? ”

The captain of the Xu Brigade laughed, and gave a thumbs up to the female bandit leader while laughing: "The big boss is a refreshing person, Wu admires!" However, I have already sent them back to the pass, and the big boss doesn't need to bother. ”

Soon, both the guest and the host entered the highest state of the cottage together: Juyi Hall. The back kitchen was already drinking and eating, and Liu Wumei accompanied the captain of the Eighth Route Army and the eldest brother of Jieyi, and sat at the table to drink tea and talk.

In front of the two of them, Wei Xin recounted the situation of the black donkey's subordinates who went out to the mountains to rob without authorization, and were captured by the local garrison of the 12th Brigade of the Jin Army. Liu Wumei felt embarrassed and indignant while listening, she herself had already promised the eldest brother and the Eighth Route Army that the cottagers would no longer attack the people, and what the three masters did was undoubtedly to detain the basin on her head.

Wu Zijian originally went up the mountain with a mystery in his heart: Xia Lianshan, the commander of the cavalry company, reported to him that a squire Guo in Lihuapu Village, who was determined to resist the war, his relatives and his whole family in a small village next to Lingshi County, and the entire small village were all bloodbathed by unknown armed forces a few days ago, and all the old and young people were killed, and many young women were missing. This headless case has already caused a sensation along Tongpu Road, and the local Japanese puppet regime has released rumors, saying that the perpetrator is a rout of the national army that has failed to attack and harass Lingshi County.

At this moment, sitting on the so-called Juyi Hall of the Black Stone Cliff Gang, the leader of the Xu Brigade of the Eighth Route Army had just learned that some of the bandits had gone out of the southern foot of Guanmen Mountain to rob the people, and his anger suddenly rose, his eyes glared at the female bandit leader, and said coldly:

"Big boss, it seems that the self-proclaimed governance you just now has no way to govern, but it's not a kind word! The three masters sent people out of the mountains to rob the house, do you really can't control it, or do you turn a blind eye and let it acquiesce? Our Xu Brigade detachment has sealed all the mountain passes you have taken out of the western foothills, and you will find another exit from the south, this bend is not small! ”

Liu Wumei, who was already ashamed, heard Wu Zijian say this, so she had to smile hard: "Chief Wu, the conscience of heaven and earth, I, Liu Wumei, am a person who roams the rivers and lakes, and the word Xinyi is the most important!" In front of my family's righteous brother, I once promised your army that I would never rob the house again, and I myself said that I could do it. But now that this is embarrassing, I can only say that there is no way to discipline his subordinates, and if Chief Wu really doesn't believe it, the little girl has no other way. ”

Seeing this, Wei Xin hurriedly played a round for his sister-in-law, saying that when the black donkey of the three masters begged him to stand up for him, he once revealed that he was going down the mountain to hide the move of being a big boss.

"That's good," Wu Zijian looked at his second battalion commander, and then continued to ask Liu Wumei: "Since you three leaders can send people out of the mountains from Nankou, how many villages has it robbed, do you know it now?" Gaomiao Village, next to Lingshi County, Pulu, Nantong, has just been bloodbathed, is it also a big deal of Guishanzhai? ”

The female bandit leader was asked with a blank face: Nantongpu Road? Gaomiao Village?

Wei Xin, the commander of the second battalion, didn't know about this public case, so he asked his detachment commander what was going on. When Wu Zijian recounted the incident, the female bandit leader who understood the reason immediately stood up impulsively, saying that it was absolutely impossible for her subordinates to do it. The reason is very simple, the Black Rock Cliff Cottage has always been carried out by relying on the foothills of Guanmen Mountain, in order to get out and move forward quickly, so as to prevent the local officials and soldiers from chasing and getting out after hearing the news.

"Nantong Pu Road, Lingshi County, I am afraid that it will not be twenty or thirty miles away from the foot of our Guanmen Mountain? No matter how bold the people in the cottage are, they definitely don't dare to run so far to do it. This is a rule that the old master (author's note: this refers to the leader of the Black Stone Cliff bandit gang before Liu Wumei) was still there, and it has never been violated for so many years. Please also ask Chief Wu and Brother Wei to Mingjian! ”

was so impassionedly defended by the female bandit leader, Wu Zijian and Wei Xin looked at each other for a while, and they both felt that the other party was reasonable. But for the sake of safety, the commander of the Eighth Route Army still asked to bring the black donkey of the three masters who had been imprisoned in the back hall, and the three of them interrogated on the spot, and the reply was the same, and the black donkey also swore to the sky that his men had never been to Gaomiao Village on Nantongpu Road.

"This can almost be regarded as a tragedy," after bringing the black donkey back to the house, the female bandit leader also helped to analyze the case: "The general green forest robbers the house, mainly robbing money and color, as long as the bitter master does not resist, it rarely kills or injures people; Like what Chief Wu said in Gaomiao Village, almost the entire village was wiped out, which is usually counted as a means of revenge by the enemy, could it be that the small village provoked some big enemy? ”

The leader of the Eighth Route Army listened attentively, nodded slowly, and felt that Liu Wumei was a green forest figure after all, and analyzed it in an orderly manner: "How can you say that you have robbed so many young women?" You copycats have done this kind of thing, right? ”

Liu Wumei's face was slightly red-she herself was favored by the old boss back then, and she was robbed up the mountain to be the lady of the village - since she sat in the position of the big boss, as a female streamer, she couldn't stop her subordinates from doing this embarrassing thing after all.

Wu Zijian observed his words and looks, and realized that he might be a little open-mouthed when he spoke, and just wanted to cover it up, but Liu Wumei said amazingly, she said that the green forest robbed the color, in order to prevent the family from tracing the victim, usually the woman was ruined on the spot and then abandoned, and it was rare to rob back to the cottage; And in Gaomiao Village, next to Nantongpu Road, several young women disappeared at once, and it didn't look like a green forest.

This time, he really threw the commander of the Eighth Route Army into the clouds and fog, and after thinking about it for a while, Wu Zijian still didn't come up with a clue.

Wei Xin, who was on the side, slapped the table angrily, pointing out that the Japanese puppet traitor regime framed and slandered the anti-Japanese army and poured dirty water on the national army among the local people. At this time, Liu Wumei confirmed her guess from Wei Xin's mouth: the battle in Lingshi County, Pulu in Nantong a few days ago was indeed done by the Xu Brigade Detachment of the Eighth Route Army where Brother Yiyi belonged, and of course, there was also the shadow of the 391st Regiment of the Central Army of the National Army.

"Sister, I'm sorry, last time you took your cousin to Wencheng and passed through my defense area, at that time we and the Central Army had already decided to fight a battle on Tongpu Road, but the military situation was important, I couldn't leak it to you, so you hid in Wencheng for so many days." The commander of the second battalion of the Eighth Route Army explained to his righteous sister rather crampedly.

The interest of the female bandit leader completely fell on the process of this battle, urging Wei Xin to review the entire operation, and when she heard it with relish, she was amazed at the courage of the Xu Brigade Detachment and the 391st Regiment of the Central Army - they dared to go to the railway line dominated by the Japanese to brush the tiger's whiskers, and they were all heroes.

While the two brothers and sisters were enthusiastically exchanging about the battle, the detachment commander of the Eighth Route Army was still pondering the tragedy in Gaomiao Village: before setting off from Xiping Village this time, Xia Lianshan, the commander of the cavalry company, had just sent several of his subordinates to report that he was on the way to send Squire Guo from Lihuapu Village to Xiping, and asked Squire Guo to explain in detail the scene of the tragedy he had witnessed.

Since the Black Rock Cliff Cottage is safe and sound, Wu Zijian is ready to return as soon as possible to see if he can find clues about the tragedy from witnesses. The Japanese puppet forces have ill intentions and wantonly smear the Anti-Japanese Nationalist Army, and once this statement spreads along the well-informed Tongpu Road, it will obviously be harmful and unhelpful.

It must be found out as soon as possible! Wu Zijian secretly made up his mind.
