The Taoist chief said, "I don't know where the head of the cave begins, but the end extends five or six miles to the northeast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut the hole is getting thinner and thinner, and the thinnest part is too thin to drill into. Niu Jiaying then asked: "If it is feasible to extend the cave in the direction of the Yellow Bridge?"

The Taoist chief immediately understood what Niu Jiaying meant, and then said, "It's feasible, just make some bold and make some adjustments in the direction." ”

"Thank you for your help, you will inevitably be troubled in the future. Niu Jiaying got up after speaking.

The Taoist chief also got up and said, "You're welcome, just bring it up if you have something." Niu Jiaying saluted the Taoist chief and went down the mountain.

In the evening of the next day, Niu Jiaying and Shi Pinglan brought the tools used to dig the tunnel and entered the Silver Snake Cave from the Lotus View. They carried the lanterns and walked inward, and after walking more than three miles, they could no longer go forward.

They had to squat down and shovel with a shovel, the wall of the cave was harder, and it was more laborious to shovel, so they had to use a pickaxe to plan, and the place was too small to plan.

Use a basket of earth to carry the soil, and you can't carry the basket but drag it out, and you have to drag the soil to a farther and spacious place. When they are tired, they switch hands with each other. When resting, Niu Jiaying took out a compass to measure the direction, or measured the distance with a long rope.

After digging hard for a day and two nights, the speed of hole expansion is still relatively fast. After passing through their ropes, they had dug forward nearly two miles away.

Further on, the hole is even thinner, so thin that it can only accommodate people lying inside. There's more and more earth to dig up. More and more soil has to be transported, and it is getting farther and farther. The cave had to be dug and the village work had to be done, so they had to dig it at night.

In the early morning of that day, Shi Pinglan dragged her tired and sleepy body back home.

Pinglan's mother saw that her daughter was back, and she was tired and distressed, but she didn't say anything. She hurriedly brought her daughter face washing water, and took out a steaming sweet potato bun from the pot and put it in front of her daughter.

Shi Pinglan washed her face a few times, grabbed the bun and ate it in a big gulp, and after eating several in a row, she lay on the kang and fell asleep. She only slept for a short time before getting up, and she didn't get dressed properly to start the day's work.

After dinner, Pinglan's mother knew that her daughter was going out, so she prepared large cakes, green onions, radish pickles, and wrapped them in a headscarf. After eating, Shi Pinglan picked up the package that her mother had already prepared, and left the house in a hurry.

When she came to the excavation of the Silver Snake Cave, she saw that Niu Jiaying had already started digging. "It's still behind you, I'm really convinced of you!" Shi Pinglan said convincingly.

"Just arrived, just arrived!" Niu Jiaying responded while working.

"Fool who! This pile of dirt can expose your nonsense. Shi Pinglan kicked the soil in front of him and retorted.

"Ghost elves, you have to go around people and people! Forget that I said the wrong thing!"

"That's pretty much it. ”

Shi Pinglan is eighteen years old this year, and she has been good with Niu Jiaying since she was fourteen. She is not tall or strong, but she is very capable, and her appearance is simple but handsome and generous. Especially her big black eyes are full of intelligence and kindness.

She and Niu Jiaying are a natural pair of childhood sweethearts, and the two sides have affection and I have intentions, but the parents of both sides have objected to their relationship because of the old grudges between the Niu Shi family. Later, it was only because of the relationship of unity and resistance against Japan that they acquiesced to their interactions.

After three days and four nights of hard work, the progress was not half of the progress of the previous period, but it was not far from the Huangqiao stronghold. Even if you dig the problem, it will be too difficult to dig the tunnel under the enemy's turret.

Niu Jiaying thought: Anyway, sooner or later, I have to report to Secretary Chen, and besides, the explosives still need to be solved in the district, so it is better to ask the secretary to help solve the problem of the location of the turret.

Niu Jiaying told Secretary Chen about digging tunnels to blow up the cannon building. Comrade Chen Gang attached great importance to this matter, and personally went to the scene to check the cave, and the results of the check were basically correct.

According to Comrade Chen Gang's suggestion, it is still necessary to deviate a little further to the east. Since then, he has also been involved in digging tunnels.

One day, in the middle of the night, they dug up a rock. After digging out the stone with great difficulty, I found a large hole, and after careful observation, I realized that I had encountered a well.

Niu Jiaying climbed to the ground through the well and saw that the well was next to the Huangqiao Turret. At this time, they realized that the hole they had dug had deviated from the turret about two meters away, and had crossed the turret and crashed into the well.

They were so excited, what if the well didn't know where to dig?

In order to reduce the deviation, Chen Gang had to go up and measure it on the spot in person.

Niu Jiaying grabbed him and said, "I'll go!"

Comrade Chen Gang said: "It is inconvenient for one person to go up, there must be someone to help hold the rope!"

In the end, it was decided that Niu Jiaying and Comrade Chen Gang would both go up.

In the middle of the night, only the searchlight pillars on the turret flickered in the night sky from time to time. Niu Jiaying poked his head out to observe for a while, and he found that the enemy didn't seem to pay much attention to this place either.

Niu Jiaying and Chen Gang wanted to measure the distance between the well and the turret, Chen Gang stood at the wellhead and held the rope, Niu Jiaying put the line and tied a knot. Another statistic they had to measure was the distance between the turret and the deviating tunnel.

Niu Jiaying inserted a stick in front of the turret to hang the rope, pulled it to the tunnel and measured it, and then tied a knot. The operation is still going well. In the meantime, the searchlight shone twice but did not find him.

Once they had the data, they looked backwards from the well in the hole to find a parallel point to the turret and then dug a hole in the direction of the turret. In order for the explosives to be more effective, they decided to raise the hole upwards.

"It's the middle of the night, forget it today, we should go back!" Niu Jiaying said.

"For the sake of safety, let's plug the hole in the well before leaving!" Secretary Chen Gang thought about it and said.

They began to plug the hole, and soon the hole in the well was closed. By the time they got home, it was almost dawn.

The next night, they dug the tunnel under the turret and were almost loaded with explosives.

Comrade Chen Gang said: "At present, it is not the best time to bomb the artillery tower. Now that the turret has been blown up, the enemy can still repair it, which has little impact on the enemy. We're going to wait until the most critical moment to blow it up, so we don't need to rush. I'll let you know when the explosives are available. If you have explosives, you can put them on first, and when you want to blow them up, you have to wait for my notice. ”

Niu Jiaying and Shi Pinglan both nodded when they heard this, because they knew the truth in this.

A few days later, the explosives were transported into the cave, Niu Jiaying and Shi Pinglan loaded the explosives, and just waited for Secretary Chen's notice to start the explosion.

In the past few days, Shi Pinglan has been busy organizing women to make military shoes, and she hasn't seen Jiaying for two days. She wanted to go to Jiaying's house to see him, and by the way, she asked him for instructions on sending military shoes.

Shi Pinglan pushed open the courtyard door and shouted: "Brother Jiaying, Brother Jiaying." ”

No one responded, she continued to walk inside, and looked around, it turned out that the eldest lady was feeding the pigs and didn't hear anyone coming.

"Auntie is feeding the pigs! Is Brother Jiaying at home? I have something to do with him. Shi Pinglan said and was about to go inside.

"Lan'er, you're late. He had just been called away by someone from the district. Aunt Niu told Shi Pinglan.

As soon as Shi Pinglan heard that the captain had gone to the district, she couldn't help but think of Hao Yunyun. She said to the eldest mother, and after I left, I turned around and left.

"Kid, stop chasing. He went far away, and he couldn't catch up. After the eldest lady finished shouting, she also said: "It's really a natural pair." ”

I'm going to catch up and ask him if he wants to go on a date with Hao Yunyun. No, people are obviously going to the district for a meeting, why do you want to ask people like this?

There is nothing wrong with others, what is wrong is that they are suspicious of others. Shi Pinglan thought of this, so she stopped. She asked herself whether to chase or not. She hesitated for a moment but decided to chase, just in case.

In order to catch up, I chased after him. The trail is difficult to walk on the back of the mountain, but you can avoid a lot of detours.

It is estimated that when he was halfway there, Shi Pinglan caught up and had already seen Niu Jiaying walking down the mountain. Shi Pinglan was tired, and she wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

People say that standing high and looking far away is really a high place with a high landscape. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come here to see the scenery.

Suddenly, she noticed that there were people on the mountain in front of her, and she fixed her eyes to see that there were many devils and puppet soldiers there. Shi Pinglan didn't think much about it, and immediately rushed down the mountain to tell Brother Jia Ying.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to get down. If you fall fast, you love to slip under your feet, and you always have to fall. His hands and face were cut by the branches, and both legs were injured. Shi Pinglan, who had descended the mountain, shouted loudly and chased after Niu Jiaying in front.

"Brother Jiaying, Brother Jiaying, stop. Shi Pinglan shouted several words one after another.

Niu Jiaying finally heard it, he stopped and turned to look back, and when he saw that it was Shi Pinglan, he thought: Crazy, really crazy, what are you doing here?

Shi Pinglan shouted from afar: "Brother Jiaying is not good, there are many enemies in front of him." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, you have to follow along, you can't make up any nonsense, you have to make it up. Niu Jiaying said angrily.

"It's all at this time, how can I have the leisure to make up nonsense for you. Think about it!

Niu Jiaying heard this and felt that Pinglan was not lying.

"How many people are there?" Niu Jiaying hurriedly asked.

Shi Pinglan pointed to the other side of the mountain and said, "On the other side of the mountain, there are many people. They didn't notice that I was still walking that way. ”

"It's not good, the enemy is going to sneak up on the location of the district committee. We're going to inform them. Niu Jiaying sensed the enemy's intentions.

Correspondent Xiao Huang hurriedly said, "Captain Niu, I'm going back to the notification area." ”

"I'm afraid it's too late. Niu Jiaying said worriedly.

"I'm going back too late. Xiao Huang said and ran away.

"I didn't bring a robbery, what can I do?" Shi Pinglan asked anxiously.

"You find a way to send signals. I chased after them, hit them, and forced them to shoot. As soon as the enemy fires the gun, it can be heard on the area. In this way, the district will be prepared. ”

"Tell me, how do you send a signal?" Shi Pinglan asked again.

"Light a fire, a few more fires. The district will be alerted when you see the smoke here. Niu Jiaying was about to leave after speaking.

Shi Pinglan was anxious and said, "Why don't you light it if you don't have a fire!"

Niu Jiaying didn't look back and shouted while running: "Hit the stone to make the fire." ”

Shi Pinglan had heard of striking stones to make fire, but had never done it. Now she has no other choice but to do so. She went to find a stone that would strike a spark, and then she looked for something flammable.

There are about 150 or 60 devils and puppet soldiers hidden in the mountains and forests. They are quietly moving forward at a rapid pace. Standing on the high slope, the devil Nakasa Hema and the head of the security regiment, Qian Hui, were holding binoculars to observe their target, Muqizhai, the seat of the Communist Party district committee.

Suddenly, Qian Hui said to Kawama, "Nakasa, look there!" and he pointed to the road down the mountain.

Hejian looked at the position pointed by Qian Hui, and he saw it. There was a man on the path running towards Muqizhai.
