"Battalion commander, regiment commander, they won't have a problem!" Also worried is a long company of bears.

"It's going to be fine! The regiment commander has been the captain of the special operations brigade of the headquarters, and he has been the regiment commander for a long time, so there must be no problem! Zhong Chenggong comforted himself.

Having said that, Zhong Chenggong's worry in his heart did not decrease much, and he still glanced back from time to time in the direction where the gunshots came from.

Soon, the gunfire ended.

When he was hesitating whether to send someone to inquire about the news, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

The war horse that had just been captured from the devil's possession was directly used by Wang Ping, and was given to the commander of the second company and a platoon of the new regiment, the only one who had served as a cavalryman, and asked him to temporarily serve as a temporary cavalry communicator.

Seeing the familiar figure of the other party, Zhong Chenggong's nervous heart suddenly rose to his throat, both nervous and looking forward to the other party's next report.

"Good news, battalion commander, regiment commander asked me to report: The devil's reinforcements were captured by us, and 18 puppet army prisoners were captured, and the capture was rich, and he is chasing him with his troops. The regimental commander asked you to lead the team to the nearest fortress village as soon as possible and lurk. As soon as the cavalry rushed over, he reported excitedly

"Win!" Zhong Chenggong and Xiong Changhe breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and after glancing at each other, they both saw a heartfelt smile on each other's faces.

Then Zhong Chenggong ordered the cavalry platoon commander in front of him.

"Go back and tell the regiment commander to catch up as soon as possible and pay attention to safety. In two hours, one of our fortress villages will be there! ”

Unbeknownst to Zhong, as they got closer to the village, a bigger crisis was getting closer to them.

After Wang Ping led the team to follow Zhong Chenggong into the village, more than 100 people, including the seriously wounded, were blocked at the entrance of the village.

Although the coldest time had passed, it was still night, and Wang Ping could still see many soldiers shivering in the cold wind.

"What's going on? Why don't you go into the village, it's so cold outside, ordinary fighters can't hold out, let alone those wounded! As soon as Wang Ping saw Zhong Chenggong, he asked with a slap on his face, very dissatisfied with the picture he saw in front of him.

Zhong Chenggong also looked aggrieved: "Leader, it's not that we don't go in, it's that the people don't let us in!" ”

"As soon as we came, a dozen traitors ran away with guns. I thought that the people here would welcome us back, but I didn't expect them to shut up, not only did they not talk to us, but also told us to leave the village quickly, so as not to hurt them! ”

"What the hell is going on, didn't you say that this village is our fortress village?" Wang Ping asked with a frown.

"It is indeed a fortress village, three or four months ago, more than a dozen young men in the village joined our new regiment, but all of them died in the next anti-encirclement and suppression operation. But we gave us a pension, and when we left the village, many people came out to see us off, and gave us eggs and steamed buns. Unexpectedly, it was less than a month after we left the village to become like this! Zhong Chenggong immediately explained.

And then something suddenly came to mind? With a frown, he shouted: "It must be the devil's sit-down system, they must be afraid of the devil's revenge, and then they don't dare to approach us!" ”

"So what's the point? Find someone to ask right away! Remember to hide from others and make trouble for the folks! Wang Ping immediately ordered.

Ten minutes later, an underground party member hidden in the village was brought to Wang Ping.

Zhong Chenggong obviously knew the other party, and when he saw him, he frowned and asked, "Lao Zhang, what happened in the village, why don't the people treat us!" ”

"Hello Chief!" Lao Zhang hurriedly received a salute from Wang Ping and Zhong Chenggong.

Then he replied helplessly: "I don't blame everyone for this situation." The troops walked over, and the devils set up a maintenance committee in the village, and also set up an escort team to report each other to the people of the Eighth Route Army, and if the report was right, they would give two oceans on the spot. ”

"You don't know, on that day, six people in the village were killed by these traitors."

"And then what kind of joint sitting system does the devil do, if you find that there are people in the village who have access to the Eighth Route Army, and if you can't find anyone, the whole village will be punished, and the family will be fined fifty catties of food, and if there are no traitors, you will rob them, unless you find out the people who pass you!"

Now the whole village is being watched by those traitors, and people are terrified, and they are afraid that they will be reported, how can anyone dare to come out and contact you! ”

"Didn't we drive out all the traitors who maintained the association?" Zhong Chenggong asked with a frown, a dissatisfied expression.

Lao Zhang was not polite because Zhong Chenggong was the battalion commander, and directly retorted: "They are leaving now, but they will come back." ”

"When they return, they will come and settle accounts of the people who have contacted you. When the time comes, what awaits them will definitely be the destruction of their families. ”

"Unless Battalion Commander Zhong assures everyone that the troops will not leave in the future, everyone will believe it!"

"That's not right!" Speaking of this, Lao Zhang suddenly thought of something and continued: "Even if Camp Commander Zhong assures everyone, everyone won't believe it!" ”

"The traitors told everyone every day during this period of time that the new regiment had been defeated, the regiment commander and political commissar were all dead, and the remaining two or three hundred remnants had been driven to the mountains, and there was no climate. Many people believe it, thinking that it is impossible for you to grow again under the nose of the devil. ”

"If I come into contact with you at this time, when you leave, you will definitely be liquidated by the devil and kill yourself!"

Seeing that the brows on Zhong Chenggong's face were frowning deeper and deeper, he was about to scold subconsciously. Wang Ping said decisively.

I understood: "Now that the devil is powerful, we may be eliminated at any time, and the common people are not optimistic about us, so they will not offend the devil for us and lose their own and their families' lives!" ”

Seeing Lao Zhang lowering his head and not speaking, Wang Ping knew that Lao Zhang was also very painful in his heart.

As a secret party member, it is impossible to be happy to see his troops being squeezed out by the people.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping directly comforted: "Comrade Zhang, this is not to blame everyone, if you want to blame, blame us for not winning the battle and failing to give the people confidence!" ”

"Although the people's will is temporarily gone, I believe that as long as we win more battles, re-develop and strengthen the troops, and let the devils in the county feel scruples about us, the people will definitely stand up and support us again!"

"After all, this situation of the common people is forced by devils, and no one will not support their own soldiers!"

"Camp Chief Zhong, send Lao Zhang back, remember to keep it secret and not let others in the village find out. We also need Comrade Lao Zhang to continue to lurk and provide us with information! ”

Sending Lao Zhang away, Wang Ping sat directly on the ground.

The brows that were still stretched just now wrinkled into a big Sichuan character.

Several battalion and company commanders, including Zhong Chenggong, also frowned, either sitting on the ground or leaning against the earthen wall at the entrance of the village, thinking about solutions.

"Commander, do you want us to go to another fortress village to have a look!" Zhong Chenggong, who hadn't thought of a way, suggested helplessly.

"No need!" Wang Ping refused.

"I've heard about the establishment and maintenance of the devil and the ongoing joint sitting system, and it just happened that our new group lost the battle again, and it is normal for the people to be scared, and we have nothing to blame everyone!"
