readx;
After the meeting, Secretary Chen Gang and Niu Jiaying had a one-on-one conversation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ During the info conversation, Secretary Chen Gang mentioned more than once that the head of the military region had said that he would put a burden on capable people. He also said that he did not do a good job in this area.
Niu Jiaying understood, and he comforted Secretary Chen and said, "Secretary, you have done a good job, and I and our militia have been trained by you." Our achievements are yours, and we have half the credit for yours, aren't we?"
"Don't interrupt me, don't you really hear me? You're going to be transferred to the district. β
"Secretary, can you take a break? I think the Maverick is going to be in even greater danger. I can't just leave them behind. Niu Jiaying hurriedly said his thoughts.
Chen Gang thought for a while: "I'm just saying hello in advance, so that you don't feel sudden when you transfer you in the future, but you can let me think about it in advance." β
After the failure of the enemy's sweep, all the troops began to retreat one after another. Commander Isayama also personally led his troops to participate in this sweep. Now that his troops were also retreating, Kawama made a suggestion to Isayama as the team was about to pass through the small cow village.
"General, there's a calf farm not far ahead. Our Huangqiao was bombed several times, all of which were blown up by the people of this small cow village. Kawama said as he pointed to the village in front of him.
Qian Hui took it and said, "General, that village is quite small but the disaster is great. β
"General, by the way, let's destroy it, so as to prevent future troubles. Kawama spoke his mind.
"Okay, order the artillery to fire at the calf!" Isayama agreed, and gave the order to shell the calf.
Boom, boom, boom! Boom! Boom
The calf farm was blown up by a cannonball, and then a ferocious flame ignited. Isayama took a telescope and watched the small cow farm, where all the houses had collapsed. So, he ordered the firing to stop.
"Do the rest!" Isayama said to Kawama.
A sudden disaster befell the little cow village, which no one expected. There must have been heavy casualties in the shelling.
Niu Jiaying's family hid in the tunnels and escaped the bombing. As soon as the shelling was over, they climbed out of the hole and saw that the whole village had been almost flattened.
Fortunately, every family has an authentic and it is possible for some people to survive. Indeed, when the shelling was over, someone crawled out of the tunnel. And then people came out one after another.
Niu Jiaying was so happy when she saw it, it was the authentic that saved everyone's lives. However, there are also some people who have not had time to hide, and their chances of survival are almost unlikely.
Despite this, Niu Jiaying and the whole family went out to help find someone. Driven by them, the whole village is helping to find people in the ruins!
All but four of the village militia were safe. They all came to Niu Jiaying and waited for his orders.
"This is a large army of the enemy, and as soon as the artillery stops, they will definitely enter the village and search the village. The female militia went with four wounded comrades to organize the villagers to go down the tunnel. Time is running out, be fast!"
As soon as Niu Jiaying gave the order here, someone interjected, "Captain, what should I do if the tunnels of each family are almost unable to hide people?"
"I know, Comrade Shi Pinglan will take everyone to a safe place. The rest of the comrades were divided into two groups, and I took one group to continue looking for people. Another group of stones is usually in charge of vigilance, let's act!
Shi Pinglan led everyone to the ancestral hall of the Niu family, and there was a secret door under the altar. Open the secret door and there is a hole that leads to the Silver Serpent Cave. The existence of this cave is known only to Niu Jiaying and Shi Pinglan. It was a surprise to everyone else.
One by one, the vigilant militia returned. They reported to Niu Jiaying that the enemy was about to enter the village. Niu Jiaying thought: So far, it is estimated that ninety and a half of the people have been found, including many injured and more than a dozen corpses.
It is not known whether the remaining half-adults are dead or alive, and now that the enemy is coming in and there is no time to look for them, it seems that whether they can survive can only be determined by fate.
"Hurry up and withdraw to the ancestral hall, Pinglan is waiting for you there!" Niu Jiaying told them. But he insisted on finding it for a while before evacuating.
When Niu Jiaying was about to leave, he inadvertently picked up the grass on a ruin and accidentally found a hand.
The surprised Niu Jiaying hurriedly moved the wood, picked up the soil, and dug out a person. Take a closer look, isn't this Hao Yunyun? Niu Jiaying hurriedly tried to see if she had any breath.
"It's angry, it's still alive!Hao Yunyun!" he just shouted when he realized that he had to evacuate quickly.
Niu Jiaying picked up Hao Yunyun and came to the ancestral hall to get into the tunnel.
General Isayama led a large army to pass through the village non-stop, and only a small part of Hejian Qian Hui's team stayed behind to search the village.
Qian Hui held a schematic diagram of the tunnels and dark fortifications of Xiaoniuzhuang in his hand, and he was very embarrassed when he faced the village that was just a ruin in front of him.
The drawings that I had worked so hard to get became a piece of waste paper in the blink of an eye, and the opportunity to make meritorious contributions was gone. Qian Hui spread his hand and let the useless drawings drift away with the wind, and ran behind the river to the village in front of him.
The village was so empty that there was not even a single figure to be seen, let alone alive or even dead. Kawama was puzzled and ordered the soldiers to rummage through it.
Scarred Eyes is urging the puppet soldiers to search the tunnels. They found a lot of tunnels and dug them up, and they finally found many corpses.
But they didn't see even a shadow of a living man. No one could be found, which made Inoue Ichiro angry, and he ordered his men to pour water into the dug tunnel, throw grenades, and throw torches but still did not find a living person.
Hao Yunyun was hugged into the tunnel by Niu Jiaying, and gradually people woke up. She slowly opened her eyes to see the dim light in front of her, and vaguely saw a few people surrounding her.
She recognized them, they were Niu Jiaying, Shi Pinglan, and Niu Jiafeng. She knew, it was in the tunnels, it was the place she had always wanted to find. Now, the tunnel has been found, but he doesn't want to tell Qian Hui about them anymore.
When he thought of this, Hao Yunyun's mind appeared that he was bombarded by the devil's cannon. The cannon rumbled like thunder, and the ears were deaf. It felt like the sky was falling apart like an abyss, and he was buried in an instant, and he soon lost consciousness.
Hao Yunyun knew that she couldn't survive, she didn't want to hide it anymore, and she wanted to tell Niu Jiaying what was in her heart.
Hao Yunyun slowly pushed Niu Jiaying away and said, "I can't live with you and everyone, I don't deserve your help." I'm a bad woman. β
She fainted again.
"It can't be that she did all the things that happened in the district, right?" Shi Pinglan said suspiciously.
Niu Jiafeng took it and said, "It's so dangerous! If it weren't for Brother Jiaying asking us to watch out for her, the secrets of our village would have been leaked long ago." Now that she's dead, let's be dead, so we don't have to do it. β
"Don't talk nonsense, there is a policy for dealing with captives of our party. Niu Jiaying said that when she said this, she found that Hao Yunyun had woken up.
"I was forced by them. If I don't do things for them, my parents, siblings, and fiancΓ© will die. It's okay if I'm dead, but I can't ignore their lives or deaths!" Hao Yunyun wanted to use the last time to explain to herself.
Niu Jiaying saw Hao Yunyun close his eyes again, so he bent down and asked, "Is your real name Xing Yin?"
Hao Yunyun's mouth moved. Niu Jiaying got closer again, and at this moment, he felt bad, and his gun was pulled out. Everyone was stunned by Hao Yunyun's move. She pointed her gun not at others, but at herself.
Niu Jiafeng waved his hand and said, "Don't be like this, we have no intention of harming you." β
Niu Jiaying was afraid of her carelessness, and she was also surprised by Hao Yunyun's actions. He comforted Hao Yunyun to calm down.
"It's not too late for you to understand now, the people will forgive you. You can bring the guilt to make meritorious contributions, as well as your family, and our organization will find a way to transfer them out. Calm down, don't do stupid things, can you give me back the gun?" Niu Jiaying patiently persuaded.
"Thank you Niu Jiaying, my name is Xing Yin, I fell in love with you at first sight, otherwise I would have committed a greater sin. Hao Yunyun said with a smile. As soon as the words fell, the gun that had been pointing at him rang out. Hao Yunyun ended his life in this way.
"Report to the commander, the separate regiment called. The operator said and handed the message to the commander and walked away.
The commander looked at the telegram and handed it to the political commissar beside him, walked to the map himself, and traced it with his hand in the direction of Isayama's retreat.
"Are you worried about the safety of the little cow?" the commissar guessed the commander's concerns.
"Yes! A large force can't be pursued, and sending a small force to harass them might be useful. β
The commander suddenly turned to the staff officer beside him and said, "Tell the Independent Regiment to send the troops closest to the enemy to attack and protect the small cow village." Be quick!"
Having received an order from headquarters, the Separate Regiment ordered the battalion closest to the enemy to complete the task. The 1st Battalion and the 2nd Company were closer to the enemy, and the 2nd Company immediately went after the order to pursue the enemy.
After chasing them, they heard the sound of fierce artillery, and when they rushed over, the enemy's large force was gone, and it seemed that a small number of Japanese puppet troops were still left tossing in the smoke-filled village!
"It's late, it's late! Now the Little Cow Village is completely finished!" the company commander patted his head and said before running to a high place and shouting loudly: "Comrades, the people of Little Cow Village are in danger, let's run to save people!"
Niu Jiaying said to Shi Pinglan: "You lead the female team members to appease everyone in the tunnel, don't mess up." Especially if there is a death or no whereabouts in the family, their mood must be very bad, and it is necessary to comfort them. I'm going to take the male militia out to have a look, and by the way, eliminate a few devils. β
Niu Jiaying climbed out of the grave with the uninjured male militiamen, and they carefully observed the village, heard the sudden gunfire in the village, and found the enemy running out of the village in a hurry. If you look closely, there is a force in the south of the village that is killing the village.
"Look, there's also a team from the southwest heading towards the village. Niu Youshui shouted.
"Comrades, here comes our ranks. It seems that the enemy is going to flee from this side, so don't move around, hide and don't shoot indiscriminately. Let's kill the official and beat him without a leader. Disperse!" Niu Jiaying waved his hand after speaking.
Let's go, just wait for the enemy to come to the door!
Kawama led his troops into the village and put out the fire, looking and searching, digging and digging and digging only to dig out many corpses and a little bit of food.
This really made him angry, and Tu Bucheng used the burning house to vent the anger in his heart, and his head seemed to explode, making him uncomfortable.
Suddenly, he heard gunshots in the south of the village and knew that it was Balu chasing after him. Kawama did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered the team to evacuate.
The trumpet of the Eighth Route Army sounded. A team of more than 100 people chased a team of more than 300 people and collapsed. Hejian, Qian Hui and other officials took the lead in escaping the village and came to Niubeipo.
Hejian saw that there were also eight roads in the southwest.
"Zhongzuo, you see that there are also eight roads here!" Qian Hui pointed to the east and said to the river.
No sooner had Kawama turned east than he could see when he heard a gunshot, and he fell from his horse unconscious. Immediately after that, another shot rang out, and the bullet hit Qian Hui's arm, and he didn't dare to ride on the horse anymore, so he immediately dismounted.
