Chapter 12: The Thorny Path

The devil's barracks suddenly became busy, and there were more and more large trucks, each of which was loaded with sacks.

Qiao Xiaojing immediately made the judgment of "devils grabbing grain" and decided to implement the "autumn grain protection" plan.

The training of the recruits has been completed, and they have fully reached the ability to fight alone, which is the combat force outside of Qiao Xiaojing's five-person team, this force is not mastered by the devils, and it is a force whose combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

Since this is the case, we have to act immediately, seize the time to plan, and implement the "Autumn Grain Protection" plan in front of the devils, Qiao Xiaojing looked at the new team members with excellent skills, and looked like they were all in the chest.

In the middle of the night, Qiao Xiaojing went down the mountain with her team of nineteen people.

As usual, they entered the city and chose to enter the county seat after dawn, and entered the county seat smoothly.

"Sai Xi Shi Tofu Workshop" is the same as before, or the old woman runs the tofu workshop alone, opening the door at sunrise and closing at sunset, everything is the same as when Qiao Xiaojing and they left, there has not been a single abnormal incident.

As soon as Qiao Xiaojing and the others returned to the base, they began to get together for a meeting to discuss the implementation plan of the "Autumn Grain Protection" plan, and after nearly three hours of heated discussions, the implementation plan finally had a preliminary feasible framework.

The general outline has been out, and the detailed work must be determined according to the actual situation in the local area, which is bound to be a huge project, but fortunately, the old woman who sells tofu has done research before.

This "Sai Xi Shi" is not just a tofu seller, she also has a very special identity, that is, a secret liaison officer of the Communist Party, an old party member, otherwise how could Qiao Xiaojing and them gather in her backyard?

Selling tofu is to provide Qiao Xiaojing with an economic source for them, and secondly, they can hide their eyes and ears and contact the people at the bottom of society, especially through their neighbors to learn about the world's news.

The suffering people are the most aware of the world, especially the people who go to the city from the countryside, the big and small events that happen in their villages will enter the ears of the old woman, the old woman according to her rich experience and work experience, remove the false and keep the true, after screening and processing, the valuable information will be handed over to Qiao Xiaojing and them as a reference for action.

Of course, this time the "Autumn Grain Protection" action plan is also inseparable from the information provided by the old woman. After three days and two nights of revision, the framework plan can finally be used as the implementation plan of the "Autumn Grain Protection" campaign, which is a good start.

"According to our understanding, the devils will not cover the full coverage of this operation, and they will concentrate their main forces in the villages near the county seat and some villages with good food growth, which points out the direction of our operation. Qiao Xiaojing said at the deployment meeting.

"In other words, remote villages and villages with poor grain harvests will not be robbed of grain by devils, so should we not care about such villages?"

"Priorities still have to be clear, only in this way will there be no such thing as picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. Qiao Xiaojing said, "Our job is to protect grain, the purpose is to make the devil's food grabbing fail, so the focus of the work should be around the county and the villages with high yields." ”

"If you want to roll it out in a comprehensive way, the manpower is also limited. Cuiyu took advantage of Qiao Xiaojing's drinking water to add.

Ah Zi, Da Zhi, and the rest of the team members all nodded frequently, agreeing with Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu's statement.

In order to make the work of food protection more targeted and adhere to the principle of flexibility and mobility in the work, Qiao Xiaojing brainstormed and fully tapped his own wisdom, and divided the existing personnel into seven working groups based on the region:

The first group: Qiao Xiaojing is the team leader, with two team members, responsible for the grain protection work of three villages in the northern suburbs;

The second group: Cuiyu is the team leader, with two team members, responsible for the grain protection work of the three villages on the soil plain of Dongshan;

The third group: A Zi is the team leader, with two team members, responsible for the grain protection work of the three villages in the Dongshan depression;

The fourth group: Dazhi is the team leader, with two team members, responsible for the grain protection work in the three villages south of Xigou;

The fifth group: the eldest is the team leader, with two team members, responsible for the grain protection work in the three villages north of Xigou;

Group 6: Lao Zhang, the oldest recruit, is the team leader, with one team member, cooperating with the work of the first, second and third groups, which group needs assistance to which group, transmitting the information of each group, and allowing other groups to share the information obtained;

Group 7: The middle-aged patriarch of the recruits, Lao Wang, is the team leader, and there is one team member, who cooperates with the work of the fourth and fifth groups, and the work tasks are the same as those of the sixth group, as a reserve group, providing support forces, liaising with each group, and transmitting information.

Each group is an independent work unit, which understands the autumn grain production and the enemy situation in the area it is responsible for, conducts on-the-spot investigations, and formulates practical activity plans according to local conditions to ensure the successful completion of the "Autumn Grain Conservation" campaign.

Before the operation, according to the information provided by the "Sai Xi Shih", the leaders of each group have contacted the activists and party members representatives in the villages they are responsible for, and the self-protection forces of each village will join the "food protection" movement when necessary.

The autumn harvest was running out, and the large-scale autumn harvest was just a week away, and the working groups began to conduct practical inspections in their areas of responsibility.

Qiao Xiaojing is responsible for a wide range of areas, although it is said that it is three villages in the northern suburbs, but from the topography, it is not difficult to see that these three villages occupy a large amount of land, and they actually occupy half of the area on the outskirts of the city, and at the same time, these three villages are close to the city, the devils harass from time to time, there are many traitors and diehards, and the difficulty of the work can be imagined.

Knowing that it was difficult, Qiao Xiaojing and they couldn't back down, so they could only work hard, because this was their mission.

Qiao Xiaojing and the three of them pretended to be guests visiting relatives, and came to three villages in the northern suburbs, and went to the village under the leadership of the party members of the village, and they talked with the activists and party members in the village one by one to get a real understanding of the situation in the village.

Everything is going well, the investigation and research in the three villages is coming to an end, but trouble is quietly coming. The big nose who was in charge of letting off the wind ran to Uncle Wu's house where Qiao Xiaojing was in a panic, and said with a panicked expression: "Oh no, Wu Er is stunned and has two dogs coming over here, menacing, and the person who comes is not good." ”

"Who is Wu Erzi stunned?" Qiao Xiaojing looked at Big Nose and Uncle Wu in confusion.

"Traitors, bullies. As soon as Uncle Wu said this, Wu Er's expression changed greatly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Relying on his brother to be a translator for the devil, doing evil all day long, rampant in the township, it's not a good thing, taking a few scoundrels to steal all day long, if it weren't for the fact that I and his father are the same brothers, I don't know how to harm me!"

"Hurry up and think of a way, Wu Er will be stunned and will arrive soon. "Big Nose is anxious and worried.

"Yes, yes, I was so confused that I forgot to get down to business. Uncle Wu stood up, hurried to the yard, looked around, wanted to find a safe and secret place to hide, but always shook his head, and finally fell on the chicken coop on the ground, he said helplessly, "Those two stunned people are too familiar with our family, and it is not safe to hide anywhere, so I can only wronged you." ”

The chicken cage is quite large, and it is feasible to curl up three people. Some are dilapidated, but the Tibetans are more likely to receive unexpected results, after all, who would have thought of hiding people in chicken coops, and they are still a little tattered and thrown on the mounds of chicken coops.

"Hurry up, that traitor will be there when he says so. The big nose opened the chicken coop, and the little ones couldn't bear it and made a big plan, Qiao Xiaojing and they curled up in, and the big nose continued, "It's a little stinky, but it can save your life." ”

As soon as the big nose left the chicken coop, Wu Er was stunned and walked to Uncle Wu's house with his legs.

"Uncle, you're so comfortable!" Wu Er stood at the bottom of the steps of the main house, yin and yang weird, thief eyebrows.

"It's a dumbfounder, how can you be so busy that you have time to come to me?" Uncle Wu picked up a stick used to top the door as a crutch from behind the door and walked out of the main door.

"I heard that there are three strangers in your house, I came to take a look, don't be a liar and let your old man suffer. Wu Er was stunned and walked around the courtyard, constantly looking around.

"It's three outsiders who have come here, and they heard that their family has suffered a disaster, so they came to us to find a way to live. Uncle Wu stood on the platform of the main house, smoking a dry tobacco pot casually, and streams of green smoke rose above his head.

"What about them?" Wu Er was stunned when he heard that someone was indeed coming, and stood still.

"I just left, and it sounds like I'm going to the county seat, maybe just out of the village. Uncle Wu pointed out of the village as he spoke.

"Gone?" Wu Er was a little stunned, glanced at Uncle Wu, and gave the two lackeys beside him a look. The two lackeys understood and rushed into the various houses of Uncle Wu's family, including the utility room and the thatched house, of course, and began to search the whereabouts of the three outsiders. This is their usual style, and they will not easily believe the words of simple people.

"I said that you are stunned, you are arrogant on weekdays, but now you are taking someone to search my house, you are too much, don't you even believe my words?" Uncle Wu was very angry, lifted his cane and poked the stage a few times.

"I said, uncle, do you need to be so angry? I'm also for your own good, my brother said, the city has not been peaceful recently, and there are a lot of mud-legged troubles, I'm afraid that you will look away and cause trouble for yourself. Wu Er didn't want to tear his face, at least until he saw the evidence. He kept kicking the lumps of dirt in the yard with his feet, and he had a hippie smile.

"Second master, there is no ......" The two dog-legged men ran to Wu Erzi one after another, muttering in their mouths.

"Erzhuzi, what are you looking for? I'll find it for you, how do they know where to put our family's things?" Uncle Wu glared at Ertuan.

"Uncle, look at you, don't you have a lot of heart, we are also idle, just take a walk, just take a look. Wu Er was stunned and didn't find anything suspicious, so he was naturally embarrassed to play prestige in front of his own parents.

"Then you can do whatever you want!" Uncle Wu picked up his crutches and poked the steps again, turned around and went towards the house.

At this moment, another lackey ran in from outside, panting and said: "Second master, second master, the latest news, according to the report from two neighboring villages, their village has also been to three strangers today, and the same as what we saw in our village, they are also a woman and two men, but I don't know what they do, and then I don't know where to go." ”

"Let's go!" Wu Er's face changed drastically, his eyes looked straight at him, and he had a furious expression after being teased.

Before leaving, Wu Er was stunned and kicked the small clod of soil on the ground, which smashed on the chicken coop impartially, Qiao Xiaojing, who was not mentally prepared, was frightened by this sudden weapon, and one of the team members let out an "ah".

Wu Er was stunned and they were about to run out of the yard, when they suddenly heard a sound at the chicken coop, and took out their guns......
