After Liu Wumei's personal friend Ding Xiaosi found the cottage master, the latter quickly selected more than a dozen people, and took advantage of the dead of night and the Jin soldiers neglected to check, and quietly touched the courtyard where the big boss and the head of the 570 regiment stayed.

At that time, the four soldiers of the guard platoon who were on duty outside the courtyard, and the two soldiers in the front yard were bored and whispered homely; One of the two in the backyard deserted to find some food and drink, while the other took advantage of the absence of anyone to sneak into the courtyard and squatted under the window of the inner room, trying to further eavesdrop on the "sexual affairs" between the group seat and the female bandit leader.

When the master of the Black Rock Cliff Cottage brought people to touch it, he only found the two soldiers in the front yard, and mistakenly thought that the sentry posts in the backyard had been removed, so he ordered to do it - sneaking into sneak attacks, which was originally the bandits' forte, and the two unsuspecting guard platoon soldiers were subdued and disarmed at the gate of the courtyard in an instant.

As soon as the bandits dragged the captives into the small courtyard, the door creaked open, and the female bandit leader Liu Wumei "opened the door to the thieves", nervously and excitedly welcoming the arrival of the brothers.

At this moment, none of them noticed that under the window of the house in the backyard, there was still a guard of the 570th Regiment squatting with a budding heart - although this guy was listening to the room, the sudden chaotic footsteps in the front yard, the sound of the door opening, and the voices of many men and women who lowered their voices immediately alerted him. He had the courage to sneak along the wall to a position close to the front yard, and when he looked closely, the lantern at the gate of the courtyard was still hanging, but the brothers of his own guard platoon were no longer visible under the lantern, and they were replaced by several strong men dressed in people's clothes, but they all carried spears in their hands.

Something happened!

The soldiers of the regimental guard platoon, who finally had some courage, immediately crept back to the backyard, climbed over the fence that was only half a man high, and ran in the direction of the regimental headquarters. After running more than ten meters away, he pulled the bolt of the official rifle in his hand, fired a shot into the sky, and began to shout at the same time.

The moment this shot was fired, the chief of staff of the 570th Regiment, who was rushing on, was almost frightened to the ground. The chief of staff's mind was originally focused on the exchange of fire in the direction of Ewhapo reported by the outpost, but unexpectedly, gunshots suddenly rang out close at hand, and for a while he thought that an enemy army had entered the village. It wasn't until he learned from the mouth of the soldier of the guard platoon who fired warning shots that something had happened to the place where the regiment commander was sleeping, and the chief of staff suddenly realized.

"! It must be the bandits in Guanmen Mountain who should cooperate with the outside and calculate the group! ”

The chief of staff of the 570th Regiment stomped his feet and cursed, and at the same time ordered a company to be urgently transferred over to surround the house where the regiment was sleeping tonight; At the same time, the remnants of the bandits were immediately searched for throughout the village.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, Liu Wumei and the master suddenly realized that something was wrong. Although they were anxious to find out where the news had leaked, the original plan to hijack the commander of the 570th Regiment and sneak away undoubtedly came to naught.

Without doing anything, they put on Tian Mingda's clothes, still tied their hands with backcuts, and no longer stuffed sackcloth in their mouths.

"Tian Tuanza, offended, you old man Haihan! As long as Lord Tuanza orders your subordinates not to stop us, let us return to Kanmen Mountain, and we guarantee that your body is safe and sound. Of course, it was Liu Wumei who said this.

Under the wind lamp in the inner room, Tian Mingda glanced at this group of daring bandits, his heart was full of panic and anger, and he was anxious to think about how to get out safely and capture the other party again.

The treacherous and cunning master seemed to have insight into the mind of the Jin army commander, and the * in his hand unceremoniously hit Tian Mingda's jaw, and warned in a gloomy tone: "Please be sure to obey the words of the big boss, if your subordinates dare to disobey the order, the little old man will have to shoot your old man's life first!" ”

The situation has developed to this point, Liu Wumei simply ordered to light a few torches, and prepared to escort the Jin regiment commander to travel in a bright way - so that the officers and soldiers of the 570 regiment can clearly see that their regiment commander is in their hands, so as not to let people indiscriminately attack and disturb them in the dark night.

"Please, Danza-sama, let's go together!" The female bandit leader smiled at Tian Mingda again, and at the same time reached in between the other party's arms and grabbed him.

The poor Jin army commander was both angry and still coveted the posture of Liu Wumei, who was close at hand, and fantasized that if he could turn defeat into victory tonight, he would definitely strip this stunner that he hated and loved and threw it on the kang and it hard all night.

Tian Mingda pinned his hopes on the gunshot just now: there was no doubt that it was his subordinates who were firing warning shots after they had escaped. If you react quickly, at least half of the four companies of the 1st Battalion near Longwan Village will surround you - as for how you will respond at that time, it depends on the improvisation!

The situation was as estimated by the commander of the Jin Corps, and their group came out of the courtyard, and they walked dozens of feet away, and the officers and soldiers of the 570 Regiment came one after another from several directions, more or less, but the total number was almost a hundred. They shouted and cursed, and gradually surrounded Liu Wumei and Tian Mingda, who were carrying torches, and the two sides formed a confrontation with a distance of about ten meters.

The master, who was also holding the commander of the Jin army from the other side, secretly felt frightened, he didn't expect the other party's response speed to be so fast - they all said that the Jin army could not fight, and the 570 regiment and the 12th Brigade were particularly famous for escaping from the battle, but tonight, they obviously performed well.

The chief of staff of the 570th regiment came to the front line of the confrontation, he saw clearly the regimental seat tied up under the torch, and shouted on the spot, ordering the bandits to lay down their weapons and release the regimental commander Tian.

Of course, the female bandit leader refused to eat his set, she held Tian Mingda tightly with her left hand, and the barrel of the Mauser* gun held in her right hand, unscrupulously pressed against the other party's temple, and shouted:

"Commanders and military masters, please don't panic, we in the Black Stone Cliff Cottage never have the courage to murder the official army's Tuanzuo Lord, we just want to ask him to accompany us into Guanmen Mountain, and we will send the Tuanzuo Lord back safely as soon as we enter the mountain!"

As soon as Liu Wumei's voice fell, the master also stabbed Tian Mingda's ribs with the * in his hand, and motioned for the group seat to speak.

Singles don't suffer immediate losses. Rao is Tian Mingda wants to maintain his image and dignity in front of his subordinates, but after all, the short guns of the two bandit leaders, a man and a woman, are aimed at their own vital points, and there is no good fruit to eat if they fight hard:

"Chief of Staff, tell the brethren not to hinder us, but let us go; This account, after I return to the army, I will settle it with the bandits! ”

The Jin army commander's remarks can be regarded as neither humble nor arrogant, and he has somewhat saved some of the face he caught by mistake.

Unexpectedly, the chief of staff of the 570th Regiment did not immediately obey and execute, and his face showed embarrassment, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "Tuanza, I'm afraid you can't leave, the forward post in the north has just reported, and there is a fierce exchange of fire in the area of Ewhapo, and the battle is spreading towards our defense area." ”

Tian Mingda was shocked when he heard this: Lihuapu area! Then it is only twenty or thirty miles away from his regimental headquarters! Who is the firefight? If the war really develops in this direction, it should undoubtedly be reported to the brigade headquarters in Pingquan County immediately - however, he is in this embarrassing situation, if he knows to the brigade commander that he secretly had a good time with the female bandits in the defense area, and because of this, he was coerced as a hostage after being captured, I am afraid that Brigade Commander Zheng will be angry and a guy will remove him.

At the time of the dilemma, it was the chief of staff of the 570 regiment who took the lead in proposing a solution, and he shouted loudly to Liu Wumei and his master: The military situation is urgent, the war is about to break out in the defense area of the 12th Brigade, and the 570 regiment bears the brunt, and Tian Tuanzuo must stay in the regiment headquarters to command the overall situation. If you let the regiment commander go, the officers and men of the 570th regiment will also let you live. You go back to your Guanmen Mountain, we guard our Qinglong River - half of the road to the sky, and the well water and river water do not violate each other!

Where is the master willing to believe the other party's words, without waiting for Liu Wumei to answer, he began to stab the Jin army commander in the ribs with the * in his hand again, forcing the other party to continue to give the order.

But at this moment, the female bandit leader suddenly recalled one thing in her mind: a few days ago, in the handwritten letter written to her by Wei Xin, the eldest brother of the Xu Brigade Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, in addition to rejecting the mediation request of the Black Stone Cliff Cottage, it was also specifically mentioned that the Japanese puppet army was very likely to launch a retaliatory sweep against the national army's recent attack along the Tongpu Railway and the area of Guanmen Mountain. If the situation is true, then it is obviously immoral for his group of people to kidnap and kidnap a regimental commander of the 12th Brigade at this juncture and affect his operation.

At this very moment, another signal corpsman from the regimental headquarters hurriedly came to report to the chief of staff of the 570 Regiment: A telephone call was made from the forward outpost, saying that they had just received two cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army, who were members of the cavalry company of the Guanmenshan Detachment of the Xu Brigade, and had come to inform the friendly troops of the enemy situation on the order of his company commander Xia Lianshan -- the Japanese troops in the direction of Wencheng had launched an attack on the base area of the Eighth Route Army in Xiping Village, Guanmen Mountain, this afternoon, with a strength of more than 1,000 troops, armed with artillery, automobile troops, and other special forces. When it was dark, a part of the Japanese army turned to sweep south along the banks of the Qinglong River, and the first battalion and cavalry company of the Guanmenshan detachment of the Xu Brigade of the Eighth Route Army were resisting one by one, and the two sides were currently engaged in fierce fighting in Lihuapu Village. The Eighth Route Army asked the 12th Brigade of the Jin Army to lend a helping hand and send a powerful force to the direction of Lihuapu to help in the battle.

The chief of staff of the 570 regiment, with the help of the light of a flashlight, read aloud the contents of the telephone call recorded by the signal corps. This time, not only Liu Wumei became more and more convinced, but even the master was half-suspicious and half-convinced-when it was so hasty, it seemed impossible for the other party to make up such a detailed and complete lie.

Tian Mingda made up his mind at this moment, turned his face towards Liu Wumei, and swore solemnly: "The big boss, the big enemy is now, you can rest assured to loosen my ties, and let me return to the regiment headquarters to command the operation." Even if you and your brothers retreat, I guarantee with my own head that all the officers and men of the 570th Regiment will never hinder you! ”

Hearing that the commander of the Jin Army really wanted to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in Lihuapu, Liu Wumei's heart was hot, and she immediately opened her mouth to agree. But the scheming master still grabbed the head and said:

"We don't dare to delay the overall anti-Japanese situation of Lord Tuanza, but we still have the courage to ask Tian Tuanzuo to send us out of the village, out of this Longwan Village, you will be free!"
