Chapter 41: Bursts of Cannonballs

readx;? The devil was found on the normal evacuation route, and the team reluctantly went around a mountain, to be exact, it should be a mountain full of trees, but the tail of this cold winter was a little too long, and all the trees were still bare. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The snow was like a huge quilt, firmly covering the ground, and only a few places were trampled by birds and animals, revealing psoriasis-like ground, making this quilt look full of mutilated beauty.

The guerrillas stepped on the snow and made a "squeak" sound, breaking the silence of the forest.

Everyone walked on the snow with difficulty, everyone's mouth was bubbling with white gas, and some team members were so tired that they couldn't walk, so they just lay down on the snow.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were also tired enough, and when they saw someone lying on the ground, they put down the stretcher for the time being and stretched on the ground, but at this moment, Captain Wang said:

"Everyone must insist, you must not stop, you can't walk when you stop, you can't lie down, you can't get up when you lie down. This is a matter of experience, and everyone who has followed Chairman Mao through the 25,000-mile Long March knows this, and many of our commanders and fighters have not been killed by artillery, but have forever stayed on the road of the Long March. ”

"In this case, it is difficult for us to evacuate successfully, even if we are not killed by the devil, we have to die of exhaustion, why don't we tie a log under the stretcher, put it on the snow and pull it away, let's take turns to pull forward, wouldn't it save effort?" Obviously, Qiao Xiaojing's idea is very brilliant and practical.

Half an hour ago, the comrades-in-arms were worried that the team leader Guan would be cold, so they specially sent two coats, one spread under the team leader, and the other was draped on the team leader, which could ensure that the team leader would not get frostbite when moving on the snow; the bottom of the stretcher was made of tarpaulin, and the friction on the snow would not cause much damage, and if the front and back of the stretcher were tied with logs, it would be even more unhindered.

When Qiao Xiaojing told Cuiyu about this idea, Cuiyu lamented vigorously that she was "ashamed of herself".

No matter how brilliant an idea is, it must be approved by Captain Wang, which is the rule during the war. When Captain Wang heard Cuiyu's thoughts, he hurriedly called two gay men and ordered them to find two bowl-sized logs as quickly as possible. Don't forget, this is a forest, and finding a bowl of wood is not a problem for the partisans.

Sure enough, between the words they spoke, they brought the log that Qiao Xiaojing wanted.

According to Qiao Xiaojing's idea, the log was fixed under the stretcher.

When Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu pulled the stretcher and walked forward on the snow, the guerrillas all clapped their hands and applauded, except for Team Leader Guan, who was lying on the deputy stretcher. At this moment, it seems that everyone has forgotten their resentment towards Qiao Xiaojing and the others, and it seems that they have also forgotten the scene when Team Leader Guan escaped from menopause and suffered a brain injury two hours ago.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were a little flattered, and smiled shyly, blushing like Guan Gong's face.

"Comrades, we must learn from Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu, learn from their style of not flinching in the face of difficulties, using their brains to move forward, and taking the initiative to solve problems. Captain Wang stood on a stalk and cheered up the tired guerrillas.

There was a round of applause in the forest, and everyone cast admiring glances at Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu felt even more embarrassed, and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

After about half an hour, the curtain of the dark sky was completely torn apart, and the clear sky was exposed in front of people's eyes, everything became clearly visible, and everyone's mood became much more refreshing, and even the birds came to join in the fun, and from time to time flew out of the woods, flapping their wings, and happily hovering overhead.

The team marched to the col between the two mountains, and there was a scout in front of him who gestured to the team, everyone looked at each other and didn't know what he meant, and when he arrived in front of Captain Wang, he was already out of breath, and the soldiers next to him hurriedly poured him a few mouthfuls of water, and then he said intermittently: "There is a devil squad in front, which is walking in our direction." ”

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were not a few steps away from Captain Wang, so they naturally listened to their conversation very well.

"Let's let the fellows go on the spot, so we might be able to deal with it better. One of the team leaders saw Captain Wang pondering helplessly and put forward his own ideas.

"That's right!" another team leader also put forward almost the same idea, "With the fellows, we can't let go of our hands and feet, and we have to find a way to take care of the defenseless fellows when dealing with the devils." ”

"It should be ......" everyone whispered and whispered......

"Damn," Captain Wang became a little manic, glaring at the two team leaders and accusing, "shut your stinky mouths for me." What do you mean, now the fellows have become a burden and a burden to us, are they?

Captain Wang took a deep breath, shook his head and lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, turned to everyone, and asked with a glaring eye: "Why do we want to be soldiers, why do we want to fight, and what is supporting us in fighting, damn it, who can tell me, who, can tell me these questions?"

Suddenly, all the guerrillas lowered their heads, and the whole forest became silent in an instant, so quiet that they could hear their own breathing, and no one dared to make any movement, let alone make a sound at this moment.

"Damn, why is no one talking now, you don't have a lot of ideas, why are you silent now, ah? Why don't you make a noise anymore?" Captain Wang threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped on it a few more times.

Captain Wang put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, took a few deep breaths, and then said: "We say all day long that we are the people's team, everything is for the people, but when things change, can we only shout empty slogans and not actually take action? No. When we were soldiers, we were bullied to the fullest, the landlords and the old fortunes, the Japanese devils, most of our relatives died at the hands of the devils, and in order to avenge them, in order to prevent our compatriots from being bullied in this way again, and now our compatriots are by our side, but we want to abandon them; when the common people see us guerrillas, it is like seeing their own relatives, we have no food, they would rather be hungry and give us food, but we have nothing to wear, they would rather dress themselves thinly, and they will also make us a piece of clothing, not to mention food, single clothes, I think many of our comrades are wearing them now may be sewn by our fellow countrymen。 Fellow can give everything for us, can't we really do something for fellow countryman?"

"Protect the fellows and kill the devils. ”

"Protect the fellows and kill the devils. ”

"Protect the fellow and kill the devil ......"

The guerrillas kept shouting, and this deafening sound filled the entire mountain stream.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu also shouted excitedly, they felt full of invincible strength.

"Okay, each team leader counts the number of people. "Captain Wang ordered.

After a while, the leaders of each group reported the situation in their groups to the captains, and on the whole, the combat attrition was not large.

Captain Wang said, "No, there are two people missing. ”

The team leaders were very puzzled, and they didn't know what Captain Wang meant: "Missing?"

Captain Wang asked, "Have any of you seen Xiaobin, the son of Da Niang?"

One of the team leaders whispered: "Maybe Xiaobin wasn't caught by the devil at all." ”

Captain Wang asked again: "What about the monkeys? Didn't the monkeys deliberately let the devils catch them in order to find Xiaobin's whereabouts? Now that all the villagers who built the fortifications have been rescued, where are the others?"

The team leaders lowered their heads, and everyone's expressions became much colder.

"We have to save him, we must save him. "There was a little brother who shouted out everyone's heart.

"You must save him, you must save him......" the same voice sounded again all over the mountains.

Captain Wang said sincerely: "Comrades, we will definitely save the monkeys, this is the rule of our guerrillas, we will never leave a brother, but not now, the core task now is to bring these fellow villagers out safely, safely through the blockade of the devils, so that they can safely reunite with their families." ”

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu nodded their heads when they heard Captain Wang's words.

The guerrillas were very excited, and most of them begged to fight with the devils, as the commander, Captain Wang was naturally happy to see his soldiers have such high morale, but he knew very well that with so many fellow villagers, how could he exchange fire with the devils regardless of their comfort?

He then ordered all the men to take advantage of the terrain as a cover, and to move forward silently, and right under the nose of the devil, they passed quickly and unconsciously, and it happened to be parallel to the path of the devil, and there must be no crossing.

The guerrillas understood and walked forward hunched over.

Soon, the voice of the devil was heard above their heads, and they seemed to be just doing routine inspections, so they were not careful, as if they were trying to show others, and sometimes they would shoot aimlessly downward, but they were all empty guns, maybe they thought that in the snow-covered forest, there would be no such team as the guerrillas!

But after all, bullets don't have long eyes, and there have been several times when the bullets of the devils have flown past the scalp of the comrades in front of them, and occasionally the guerrillas have suffered skin wounds, so everyone is extremely nervous about every shot.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were no exception, but it was not themselves who were nervous, but the Guan team leader who almost lost his life for their lives, and was still unconscious, lying on a stretcher.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu heard it clearly, and the voice of the Japanese devil was above them, less than five meters away from them, and the difference in height was only three meters.

Suddenly, the devil began to strafe again, and everyone walked cautiously, to everyone's surprise, this time, the devil not only fired a shot, but also used a small cannon.

The first small cannon sounded not far from them, and the second small cannon almost fell on Team Leader Guan's stretcher, and before the third small cannon was fired, Qiao Xiaojing lay on Team Leader Guan's body, and as she expected, the devil's small cannon fell less than a meter in front of the stretcher.

Blood and clods of soil splattered in all directions, Qiao Xiaojing was almost buried by clods, and no one knew whether Qiao Xiaojing was dead or alive.

At this moment, it seemed that everything froze.
