Hu Yi confidently said to Sun Cui that there was food in stock at the wine station, but Sun Cui had been cooking for Jiupai in the past, and how much food was still in the wine station, this shrewd woman could probably guess. Although there are fewer people in the Ninth Company than in the past, there are more people in the village of Jiuzhan Village, and the current foundation is enough for both sides to last together for a month at most, and there will never be more.

Now that the Ninth Company has returned, several militiamen stationed on the north bank have been withdrawn, and Sun Cui has asked these seven or eight militiamen to be responsible for monitoring the upstream river and carrying out the tasks assigned by the Su officer. The women weaved a rope net that floated on the surface of the river overnight, and it was already connected between the two banks, and some people paddled the raft to check the floating objects that were blocked.

The area around Qingshan Village is known as a no-man's land, and among the three guerrilla autonomous regions set up by the Independent Regiment, it seems to be the most difficult place. But desolation has the advantage of desolation, because there are few people here, wild vegetables grow all over the mountains, and hares, birds, rats, and snakes are full of life. Even though it was autumn, the children could always dig up a full basket, the old people could even bring back a lot of medicinal herbs, and a few mountain people who were in charge of hunting also harvested, and small meats such as snakes, birds, rabbits and rats were also fishy. Responsible for monitoring the river's side fishing, and the mission life is not delayed.

After a few days, everyone's eating life has improved unprecedentedly, with complete meat and vegetarian foods, of course, this is the case of staple food, it feels very good, and all the old and young are eating energetically. However, if you really run out of food, you will still go hungry, but you will not starve to death so easily.

Luo Fugui led Wu Shishi and Li Xiang to dig up the camouflage tomb of the wine station, but only dug the entrance and exit and observation and shooting holes, removed the wooden planks in the blockhouse, and modified it appropriately, the covering soil buried in the shape of a large tomb was basically not moved, and it still looked like a big tomb, so this blockhouse became thicker than in the past, and if the bear hibernated in it, it would feel safer and more comfortable. Xiong consulted Li Xiang for his opinion, and the answer was: A mortar with a caliber of 90 mm can't be smashed, so rest assured that you can sleep in your grave.

Xiong was very satisfied, if Xiong knew who Darwin was, he would definitely give Darwin this thing to burn paper, the theory of evolution is indeed true!

Chen Chong was ordered by Hu Yi to take a few soldiers and a dozen villagers of the wine station to the north to retrieve the items and equipment buried in the two places during the escape. Now they are back and have brought back the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army for everyone except Xiao Hongying, because the little girl's military uniform has been carried by her own bag at that time. But now, many of these military uniforms have no owners, and the two cleanest and decent ones, one is Hu Yi's and the other is Ma Liang's.

Therefore, at present, the Ninth Company, which has only 19 people, has put on the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and it is still a few sets of wealthy. Ma Liang's body, Hu Yi handed it over to Qin You, but it's a pity that the bearded cropper doesn't look much better than Liu Jianqiang when he wears it, which proves that the phrase 'people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles' is nonsense at all!

There were forty-two rifles in the seventy-nine rifles, seventeen in Hanyang, eight in the three-eight large cap with bayonets, and three southern pistols, except for these three southern pistols, the rifles were completely devoid of bullets. Two medical kits, a little simple instruments inside, bandages. Twenty-six steel helmets, dozens of sets of various equipment and clothes and shoes in Japan.

Qin You smacked his tongue when he saw it, there was nothing but no one in the Ninth Company, was this considered poor or rich? He picked up a southern pistol, unloaded the magazine and looked at the bullets, ready to leave it for himself who had never had a gun.

"That thing doesn't work, it's not powerful enough, you better don't use it, these three chicken legs are for the militia. Hu Yi nearby inspected the rifles one by one and dissuaded them.

Qin You was a pure layman when it came to weapons and combat, he knew that Hu Yi was an expert, so he didn't hesitate to put down the southern pistol in his hand: "I thought, isn't this a way to save some bullets." ”

Hu Yi raised his head and looked at the smiling instructor, turned his head and shouted, "Shi Cheng." ”

Shi Cheng, who was not far away, trotted over.

Hu Yi reached out and took off Shi Cheng's shell gun holster, pulled out the gun to confirm that the magazine was full, then reloaded the holster, and handed it to Qin You: "Use this." ”

"This ......" Qin You hesitated to look at Hu Yi, but Hu Yi directly stuffed the gun into his arms, and then looked at Shi Cheng behind Hu Yi, Shi Cheng grinned silently.

"If I don't have a spear on my back, we have few people now, and the spear can still help. ”

Hu Yi noticed that Qin You's expression was from the bottom of his heart, and muttered, "Have you ever used a spear?"

"I haven't used it, but I've learned it, no problem. ”

"Then you can keep this short gun. Hu Yi bent down and picked out a 38 big cover from the ground, threw it into Qin You's arms, and said to Shi Cheng: "In the afternoon, you take the instructor out to shoot fifty rounds." ”

"Okay. Shi Cheng turned around and ran.

Qin You was a little stunned when he heard this, firing fifty rounds? Isn't this a waste of time?

"Qijiu and Hanyang are out of bullets, but the 65 bullets used by the 38 big cover are enough, and if you don't use the gun, how can you help? You are an instructor, so you won't go back to the regiment to participate in recruit training, right?"

In a corner not far away, Shi Cheng, who went to get bullets, stopped a soldier passing by: "Little Wu, wait." ”

The warrior stopped and turned around, and Shi Cheng took off the shell gun from his body.

"Hey, Brother Shi Cheng, you ......?"

Shi Cheng, who didn't raise his head, took out the shell gun and checked it to confirm that the bullet was full, and then loaded it on his body: "Don't you have two, this one is mine." ”

"But I don't have a bullet!"

"Then you can get it with a bayonet. ”

......

Su Qing believed that Li Zhen was an undercover agent of the sheep's head plan, and with many years of intelligence experience, the most anxious thing for the enemy and Li Zhen should be the establishment of contact methods, Dabeizhuang is located in a remote area, how can they be contacted? It is unrealistic to rely on a second person to transmit information, and goodness is like water, these four words reminded Su Qing of the Muddy River.

Dabeizhuang is adjacent to the Muddy River in the south, flows through the liquor station to the east, and then turns southeast to flow into the enemy-occupied area, and the downstream flows not far from the east gate of Meixian County. This is a natural one-way communication channel, bamboo tubes, wooden blocks, empty bottles, anything that can float down can become an intelligence carrier, the enemy only needs to block the river surface where the river section in the enemy-occupied area flows, and send people to monitor and salvage it, it must be the case.

So Su Qing came to the wine station to leave room for Li Zhen to act, as long as he caught the contact floating, and then went back to arrest Li Zhen immediately.

It's been a few days, and there are a lot of things caught in the net, and all the sundries that have been picked up have been carefully examined, and nothing has been found, which makes Su Qing more and more anxious, and she begins to wonder if her judgment is completely wrong.

She sat on the beach by the river and looked at the water in a daze.

"What the hell are you fishing?"

Hearing someone talking beside her, she came back to her senses, and turned her face to see a tall soldier a few meters away, he changed into the Eighth Route Army uniform, the tall gray, the chic leggings, the brown belt, the curly brim, and the bronze face facing the river, she couldn't help but hold the hair around her ears, pretending to be indifferent: "The truth." ”

He seemed to understand, and nodded in the face of the river: "Will the truth you are waiting for ...... Stuck halfway through, didn't you drift down, do you need me to send someone upstream to find it?"

"You can think of it, she can't think of it, she can put two, three, four, and...... It's not that easy to get stuck. ”

"So you're on fire here?"

She gave him a blank look: "Aren't you also on fire?"

He smiled slightly: "I can go to Li Youde, so I don't get angry." ”

"Before telling a lie, look in the mirror to see if you are a liar!"

"Thanks for the compliment. ”

“......”

"Am I wrong again?"

"Shameless!" she deliberately grimaced to look at the river again.

Hearing her disrespectful words, he felt much better, and took a deep breath in the face of flowing water: "Are you sure you have checked everything you have caught?"

"You think I'm blind?" The restlessness of the past few days was finally turned into anger by this bastard, she raised her eyebrows, and her face was cold: "You're just here to see the joke, aren't you? What's in it for you? Are you trying to get revenge on me? Okay, I'm on fire! Okay, I'm wrong! I'm incompetent! I'm the stupidest person in the world! Are you satisfied this time?"

The tone is getting higher and higher, the voice is getting louder and louder, the anger is getting heavier and heavier, and the white face has begun to turn red with anger after speaking.

He was dumbfounded in an instant, and his mouth was slightly open with black lines on his head, isn't this enough? Haven't you already taken the initiative to promote me to comradeship? Why am I still treated like this? Looking left and right, the soldiers in the distance were so frightened that they disappeared in a panic.

She finally realized her gaffe, and straightened her face with hatred, and her anger did not subside, and she looked at the water without looking at him. Why is it so easy to get angry at him? Is it used to it? Or is it because he is a nasty person? I don't want to do it so much, at least I feel good when I scold this bastard!

After making sure her breath had even again, he spoke again: "There are some things that you shouldn't have checked, such as ...... Corpse. ”

She forgot the anger just now, and suddenly turned her head to look at him: "Corpse?"

After the sweep, there were still occasional corpses floating down from the upstream, and several of them were caught in the past few days, all of which were buried by the militia.

He smiled faintly: "I didn't say you were blind. ”

The anger that had finally faded immediately rekindled, she grabbed the sand beside her and threw it at him, and the tall and high-spirited Eighth Route Army smiled and hugged his head and ran away.

......

Several militiamen were digging, and Su Qing asked Sun Cui beside him, "How many?"

"Five, I thought the corpses didn't count, so I let them be buried. ”

"You've done a great job, and it's my own negligence. ”

The militia put down their shovels and pickaxes: "Officer Su, it's all dug up, come and take a look." ”

Three corpses of civilians, two corpses of warriors, four of them were almost blistered, and only one looked better.

Before he could start the examination, Su Qing's gaze froze, staring directly at the relatively intact corpse. Female, Eighth Route Military Uniform, Li Zhen!

How is this possible? Su Qing forgot his sense of rejection and fear of the corpse, reached out on the spot, personally confirmed the mole behind the corpse's ear, and then searched the corpse's entire body. A sealed bamboo tube was taken out of the corpse's pocket, and after it was opened, the folded paper was unfolded by Su Qing.

The basic situation of the independent regiment, the staffing level, the situation of the imminent establishment of a field hospital, and the approximate speculation of the location of the division headquarters, the inscription was not signed, but only a sheep's head was drawn. The handwriting is Li Zhen, Su Qing has seen her handwriting, since this is written by Li Zhen himself, why did she die? It is absolutely impossible to use her own corpse as a communication carrier, the gain outweighs the loss, otherwise what would you do with a bamboo tube? Could it be that you have lost your footing and fallen into the water? Everything is over like this?

Su Qing was dumbfounded.

A militiaman came running from the village: "Officer Su, the communicator in the regiment has arrived at the wine station and said that he wants you to go back quickly, as if it is ...... Someone is missing. ”

Su Qing didn't speak, of course someone was missing, and the body of the missing person was at her feet.

The militiaman then said to Sun Cui: "Sister Sun, just now before I crossed the river, I happened to see two people from the Ninth Company, it should be Ma Liang and Xu Xiao. ”

"......" Sun Cui was stunned.

The militiaman was also stunned, completely unable to understand the situation, and the two leaders had fallen into evil spirits.

......
