Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Village Under the Tree
"The devil is coming?" Hao Ping looked at the militia who came to report in surprise, unable to believe that this was true: "How many?
"I don't know. It was the people of your independent regiment who said that his name was Hu Yi, and he was behind. ”
The matter of the ninth class coming to Xinghua Village to build a house was known only to the head of the regiment and the political commissar who approved it, and Hao Ping did not understand it, and he heard the militia say that this person was Hu Yi of the independent regiment, which made Hao Ping confused, and there was only one person called Hu Yi, the leader of the ninth class, he should be in Dabeizhuang, why did he come here? Just when Hao Ping was at a loss, another militiaman ran in front of him.
"Company Commander Hao, devil, devil is here!"
"Where is Hu Yi?" asked Hao Ping directly.
"He, he's gone to Shuxia Village. He asked me to tell you, a brigade of devils, nearly a thousand people, and a battalion of puppet troops with several hundred, coming from the valley in the south to Xinghua Village, thirty miles away two hours ago. You, you can get an idea!"
The later militiaman was the one who spoke to Hu Yi outside the village. When Hu Yi heard him say that Su Qing went to Shuxia Village in the southwest, he was directly frightened, and quickly told the militia about the situation, asked him to come back and tell Hao Ping, and then asked him about the distance and direction of Shuxia Village, turned around and ran directly to Shuxia Village.
This news made Hao Ping's hair stand on end, and he couldn't care why Hu Yi fell from the sky out of thin air, and began to think quickly about the current situation.
There are too many enemies, it's nonsense to want to block them, two hours ago thirty miles away, it is estimated that there is still an hour or so of reaction time. The people must be transferred, and this battle must be fought if it is not fought, because Xinghua Village is too close to Dabeizhuang, even if the enemy does not know that the independent regiment is in Dabeizhuang, but when they go to the village after the people of Xinghua Village go to the empty village, it is very likely that they will go to Dabeizhuang again, and if they want to avoid this situation, they have to fight, in order to lead the enemy away.
Hao Ping raised his head again and began to issue orders: "Communicator, you immediately return to the regimental headquarters to report the situation, the third company must make contact with the enemy, and then lead them away to the west." To add to its appeal, the militia is now under the command of three companies and participates in combat. The people of the whole village now hurriedly brought food and moved to Dabeizhuang. Time is running out, be quick!"
The communicators of the Third Company spread their legs and went straight out and rushed to Dabeizhuang; more than a dozen members of the militia team urgently assembled, and then merged into the Third Company, which numbered more than 100 people, and followed Hao Ping out of the village and headed south to look for devils; the people hurriedly packed up, brought food, and then helped the old and the young to run along the way to Dabeizhuang in the east. Xinghua Village, empty.
The last bit of afterglow on the horizon finally dissipated, and the light in the valley dimmed completely. The team was still advancing, Shao Zuo stopped at a fork in the valley, took out the map and unfolded it, and the guards around him immediately turned on the flashlight to illuminate the map.
I have been in the mountains for more than a month, and the results are very unsatisfactory. But I can't come out in vain and can't find the Eighth Route Army, so I'll scrape the grain, scrape all over this mountain, so that you can't show it in this place anymore, this is what Shao Zuo thinks now.
After carefully observing the map for a while, there is now a Shuxia village not far from the west of this valley, and the mark is very small, indicating that this small village is not big, and since it has passed by, there is no reason to let it go. Shao Zuo commanded left and right, and a moment later a search party left the marching team and entered the fork in the valley.
Shuxia Village is very small, with dozens of dilapidated low houses clustered together and compactly located on the hillside. Su Qing and the guards behind him stopped at a dilapidated gate, wiped the fine sweat on their foreheads, gathered their heads, and knocked on the door.
A woman poked her head out in the dark, made a careful identification, and then opened the door: "Officer Su, why are you here so late? Come in, come in." ”
Su Qing stepped into the door and replied as he walked: "I will have a meeting in Xinghua Village in the afternoon, and I will come by the way to see if you have any difficulties." ”
In fact, Su Qing's words are half true and half false, and the mass work in Dabeizhuang and Xinghua Village has been completed, so the confidentiality is guaranteed. The mass work in Shuxia Village has just begun, and for the sake of the safety of the independent regiment, it is better to keep a low profile, so Su Qing chose to come after dark.
The rammed courtyard wall is one person high, the courtyard is not large, the low adobe house is divided into two rooms, and the entrance is a dark and broken kitchen, and the inner room has only a south-facing window.
The woman let Su Qing and the guards into the inner room, went to the kitchen and found two bowls and put them on the table, while pouring boiling water into the bowls, she said to Su Qing: "We are a small village and few people, we are all honest people who have been honest for several lifetimes, it is not complicated, it is not difficult. If there is only one difficulty, it is that my ability is limited, and I really don't know how to start this. ”
Su Qing carefully took the water bowl, put it on the table in front of him, and began to guide the woman in work experience, but before he could say anything, he heard a noise outside, which made the three people in the room immediately alert.
The woman quickly got up and went out of the house, came to the courtyard and listened carefully to the noise around her, then hurried back to the house, blew out the oil lamp, and said in a trembling voice: "The devil is coming!"
The guard directly pulled out his gun and beckoned to Su Qing: "Hurry up!"
Su Qing was puzzled, followed by the guards and the woman and rushed to the courtyard in a panic, and heard the gate being smashed by the butt of the gun, and it shook tremblingly.
"Bang - the people in the house hurry out and gather in the middle of the village for me! If you don't come out again, Lao Tzu will shoot!" The shouts of the puppet army howled outside the gate. Footsteps and shouts rang chaotically around, torches were also lit, and the irregular swaying of the dim light and shadow made the outline of the originally dark courtyard wall appear on the top, gradually becoming clear.
There was no time to run out, and the woman in the panic saw the pile of firewood and grass under the wall at a glance, and quickly pushed the guard next to her, and then raised her hand to point.
Su Qing and the guards woke up from their panic and immediately ran over and drilled in. The woman re-covered the firewood and grass in the back a few times, then covered her chest to calm her breathing, and deliberately said while moving slowly towards the gate: "Coming, coming." Boss, we countrymen have never seen the world, what are you doing here?"
"Less nonsense, don't open the door again, Lao Tzu will tear it down!"
As soon as the bolt of the door was torn open, the door was slammed open, the woman was knocked abruptly, and two puppet soldiers rushed in directly outside the door: "Is there anyone else in the house?"
"No, no. ”
Hearing the answer, a puppet soldier pushed the woman outside the gate: "Hurry up and go out and follow the people outside to gather." Another puppet soldier glanced around the dimly lit courtyard, picked up his gun, and walked to the door......
