To the south of the green water, near the river bank, is a small dry plateau.

A soldier stood quietly in the darkness with a rifle on his back, as if his hand had been raised.

Clicking—a crisp, faint metallic sound, the case of the pocket watch jumped briskly, but nothing could be seen, for there was no light, and he still habitually looked at it, and then put it back away. Maybe it's a little now, or maybe it's half a year, he thought to himself.

There was the sound of shovels and pickaxes not far away, listening to the sound of both digging and landfilling, it was the soldiers of the ninth platoon burying those boxes, and it was a burden to continue to carry them, and they didn't know what to do next, so they had to bury them nearby.

There was the sound of running footsteps, "Who?" it was the sentry who asked, "Eye." "He was arranged at the secret post at the entrance of Lushuipu Village, and he ran back, and he came back to explain that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Hu Yi hadn't seen the figure clearly, and had already begun to ask.

"A group of puppet troops came from the green water shop and went to the mountain pass. ”

No need to guess, it's reinforcements arriving: "From which direction?

"To the southeast, there are more than enough shadows...... It is estimated that there are more than a hundred. ”

"The box is almost buried, you don't have to go back, the rest will be ready to go. ”

"Yes. ”

Soon after, the sound of shovels and pickaxes disappeared, and Ma Liang's voice came: "Brother, it's over." ”

"Pack up and go. Hu Yi ordered towards Ma Liang.

Luo Fugui in the dark asked: "Boss Hu, can you take a break, my back is sore." ”

"No, you can't. ”

"Where are we going now?" asked Maleonn again.

"Estuary camp. ”

"Huh?"

"Hurry up, let's go now! before the third shift, after the second shift. ”

The soldiers of the ninth platoon, who had unloaded their burdens, began to trot up, and gradually lined up in a slip, running straight to the southeast and running into the darkness. One of the people in the team muttered, "Don't bring this! Lao Tzu just took a breath and you came again?"

Then Xiao Hongying replied: "The fox asked me to find you, what nonsense! You squat down, or how can I climb up?"

"Grandma's ......"

Hu Yi finally looked in the direction of the mountain pass, then tugged at the rifle strap on his shoulder, and turned to blend in with the team in the dark.

There are three companies of the puppet army in the Hekou battalion, fighting the fallen leaf village, and one company is reinforced, and now there is another company in Lushuipu, and theoretically there is another company in the Hekou battalion, but Hu Yi doesn't think so. It has not been long since the battle in Yantou Village, and the puppet army suffered a lot of losses at that time, could it have replenished so quickly? Even if it did, would it have had time to train? Since the ninth platoon can't go back now, it's idle and idle, no matter what, just go and see.

......

Although the puppet army is the devil's minions, but the puppet army's military expenditure and all kinds of supplies devils don't care, don't think that they are raised by devils, devils are desperately searching for their country, how can they be so noble and kind, every qiē of the puppet army is from the support of the puppet government. To put it bluntly, they are still supported by the Chinese themselves, eating the grain paid by the people, spending the wages collected by the people, slaughtering the countrymen who are fighting, but currying favor with the devils. This logic is ironic, it seems untenable, but that's it. What's even more incredible is that some people still say for its good name: curve to save the country, endure humiliation and wait.

The estuary camp is not a village, but a puppet military station. There is a playground, there are several rows of bungalows, barbed wire is reluctant to use, so the surrounding with sharp wooden stakes erected into a wooden wall, four simple wooden platforms are erected at the four corners to look, one side is facing the river, the other side is the gate, it is said to be the gate, in fact, it is just a wide gap that the wooden wall is disconnected, and the horses are placed horizontally, and the two guards are for the door, so simple. After all, the surrounding area is the home of the imperial army, who dares to come?

A torch was lit at the gate, burning loudly, and after rejecting the horse, two puppet soldiers swayed back and forth idly with guns on their backs. By the extended light of the torch, Hu Yi behind the bush finally barely saw the time on the dial, and at half past two in the morning, judging that the puppet army that had been reinforced should return in an hour, so he quietly shrank back into the darkness.

Ma Liang, who had been reconnoitring around the perimeter of the camp in the dark, quietly came behind Hu Yi and reported in a low voice: "There are four lookout posts at the four corners, plus the two at the gate, there are six. During this time, I heard that there seemed to be two teams of people patrolling around the wooden wall, and it was estimated that there were two waves in one squad, and the total number was about ten. There's only so much you can learn from the outside. ”

Liu Jianqiang, who was next to him, listened to what Ma Liang said, and interjected: "The wooden wall is not high, you can climb it, the lookout post is fixed, it is such a dark day, the gap between the two posts is big enough, and it will be fine if there is no big movement." Speaking of this, he suddenly asked Ma Liang: "Is the patrol inside the wall always turning?"

Without waiting for Ma Liang to answer, Hu Yi said for him first: "It's been turning, during the time Ma Liang went out, I have been staring at the gate, and I saw them pass by the gate several times and light torches." The wall is not low, there are spikes on it, the movement is even lighter, and the gap between the two patrols is a little short. ”

"Platoon commander, there are only a dozen of them already known, and they are not devils, or we will come to Ming, and go directly through the gate. "This time it was Shi Cheng who spoke.

Hu Yi didn't speak, although Shi Cheng's words were not technical, but they were simple and direct, the only problem was that he didn't know how many enemies there were in the camp, which might lead to accidental casualties. Although he had the confidence to advance, Hu Yi still wanted to avoid casualties among his subordinates, and it would be safest if he could sneak a touch from the inside first.

Seeing that Hu Yi was silent, Ma Liang, Liu Jianqiang, and Shi Cheng knew that the platoon commander was about to give a deployment, and he was about to make a decision.

At this time, Luo Fugui, who had never been interested in participating in these things, suddenly spoke: "Isn't it just those patrols inside, I have a way to make them not patrol, and when the time comes, maybe how many people inside will have to come out and show their faces together!"

The eyes of several people on the spot all turned to the bear with no skin and no face, and Ma Liang blurted out: "If you don't blow it, you can die!

Hu Yi said lightly: "Say." "The tone has already told Luo Fugui, if you are, I will kick you to death now!

......

Quietly, it was dark, and the night outside the gate of the estuary camp suddenly sounded a crisp and immature girl's voice.

"The hard-working little girl has no home at the age of three. Cry until the leaves are yellow in autumn, cry until the red flowers bloom in spring, snow in winter to fill flower shoes, and braids in the wind in summer. From white to black, from south to north, step by step, year by year, to grow up ......"

A puppet soldier at the gate was suddenly stunned, pricked up his ears and listened carefully into the distance, and suddenly asked another: "Did you hear that?"

The other probably didn't have very bright ears, so he was stunned and asked, "What did you hear?"

"There's a kid singing nursery rhymes, listen! Listen closely, it's right ahead!"

The other puppet army tried to prick up his ears, and sure enough, faintly, melodiously, as if it was a little girl complaining. I couldn't help but say, "Oh, it's true." Who's this bear child?"

The puppet army on the opposite side was full of black lines on the spot: "I said you...... You really don't get it, do you?"

"What do you understand?" the one really didn't understand, so he replied, and then shouted into the darkness in front of the gate, "Hey, bear child, what are you babbling about in the middle of the night?

The puppet army on the opposite side almost fainted, and said in a panic: "You, you, are you going to die?"

At this time, a girl's voice suddenly came from the dark night and replied: "Good man, I am lost." After a while, he began to repeat the nursery rhyme: "The hard-working little girl, who has no home at the age of three......"

"Oh my mother!" almost fainted, and the puppet army began to run towards the camp.

Another puppet soldier stood in place and pondered for a while, his face suddenly turned white, he couldn't get up from the ground with a buttocks, he trembled and wanted to take off the gun behind his shoulder, and finally took off the strap after pulling the belt, and suddenly felt that the gun was wrong, and looked down, there was a kettle in his hand, and his eyes were all the while, and he felt that his scalp was numb, and he fainted on the spot after rejecting the horse, and he didn't know that the gun had fallen behind him when he fell.

"Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts outside the gate!" the pseudo-wolf who ran into the camp beckoned.

Two five-person patrols all ran to the gate to see the situation, and after a while, a few puppet soldiers appeared by the gate in a daze while wearing belts, and several of them were cooks and orderlies, etc., and they were also woken up, there were ghosts?

The last officer also arrived, his buttons were not fastened, his face was unhappy with a yawn, and he could not tell that it was the company commander and platoon commander, and shouted as he walked towards the gate: "What the hell are you yelling at!Ah, what are you doing? Hey, aren't you guys looking out? Why don't you go back to the sentry post!"

Not to mention the two patrols, even the sentries on the four corner towers ran down, and one of them even broke his leg, because he also heard it from the sentry post, and fell off the wooden platform in panic.

"I'm not going! Whoever I love to stand tonight, I'm not standing, I'm so fucking panicked, I heard that voice on the whistle really ......"

"Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense, believe it or not, Lao Tzu ......"

"Platoon commander, if you don't believe it, go listen to it, should you be fake?"

More than twenty puppet soldiers crowded on both sides of the gate in a disorderly manner, the torch light shining on those frightened faces, one by one staring at the ears of the darkness, the one who fainted behind the horse was still fainting, and everyone listened in a panic, and there was no time to wake him up.

After a while, a group of puppet soldiers by the gate took a breath at the same time, and sure enough, it was true! Hearing is believing! In the middle of the night in the wilderness, a little girl sang a nursery rhyme, what is this? Who can explain what it is?

"That...... What, you guys, show me over there. The puppet platoon commander's face also turned white, leaning on the side of the gate, and couldn't help but take a step back, trying to let the puppet army around him understand the situation in the dark.

It's a pity that no one speaks, no one moves. This is definitely a ghost, it's useless to have a gun, whoever goes is a fool!

......

The last figure also climbed into the wooden wall, and three groups of figures appeared in the camp, divided into three paths, and the cat bent down and quietly pounced on the bungalows, the first group in the center and through the playground, the second group slipped through the left wall, and the third group was on the right. One by one, the windows were pasted, but they were all empty, and it didn't take long for the three classes to meet.

This time, the team leader Hu Yi appointed Ma Liang, because internal flowering requires more ingenuity than clumsiness.

"I don't see anyone here. Shi Cheng whispered to Sù Ma Liang.

"There was a room where there was snoring, probably one or two, and I left two people to block the door, and I didn't do what you said. Liu Jianqiang continued to speak, but his tone was very unhappy.

Ma Liang's eyebrows jumped in the dark, and he was really expected by the squad leader, empty camp! This nursery rhyme is sung enough to ecstasy, a total of 20 or so puppet soldiers are all sung together, it seems that what Su said is right, sometimes it is necessary to break superstition, but not including the enemy.

Raising his hand to the gate, Ma Liang proudly ordered: "The left, center, and right positions remain unchanged, and the fan is approaching, and you are not allowed to fire without my order." ”

Hu Yi, who was lying in the dark with a rifle, looked at the gate of the camp quietly, and finally put the gun down, and more than 20 puppet soldiers all got together, not to mention, and they didn't even have the courage to come out. After making such a big commotion, only these people appeared, and it seems that there are only these people left in this estuary camp. With the puppet army's own torches shining, if you let Luo Fugui next to him come to a shuttle now, he can directly knock down half of it, but considering that Ma Hao is not easy to be a commander, the ninth class is still cooperating.

Ma Liang's shout suddenly sounded in the darkness of the gate: "You are surrounded!

"Hey, hey......" Luo Fugui smiled: "Boss Hu, how is it?"

Hu Yi looked at the stunned puppet army, and stood up from the darkness with a rifle: "Yes, the girl sings well!"

"What?" the bear rolled his eyes, "You also put credit on her? I ...... the idea."

The little girl cleared her throat and walked out of the back of the tree: "Ahem, is this a sticker? It's obviously me singing well!"

"Grandma, don't take you two like this!" Luo Fugui reluctantly lifted the machine gun and got up, and Li Xiang, Wu Shishi, and Xu Xiao also walked out of the bushes.

......

In any case, it is impossible to imagine that the Eighth Route could come to the estuary camp, and besides, the blockade line has almost been completed, and besides, this is an occupied area. Not a single shot was fired, and the estuary battalion was occupied by nine platoons.

Hu Yi came to a room, looked at the two second-class soldiers who were watching by the door and behind the window, and turned back to ask the puppet platoon commander behind him: "Who is inside?"

"It's the instructor, ah, it's not that, it's a devil, it's a devil. ”

The snoring in the house was still ringing, completely unaffected by the sounds outside. The door opened, the platoon commander of the puppet army went in first, lit the lamp, and Hu Yi appeared at the door.

On the wall hung a conspicuous martial arts long-term, the cups and plates on the desk were messy, the room was full of alcohol, and a devil was disheveled and fell on the bed, snoring like thunder.

"Runny nose. ”

"Yes. ”

"Get him out. ”

Liu Jianqiang took the two soldiers into the house, dragged the devil's two legs and walked out, there was a bang, the devil's head slid off the bed and fell to the ground, and finally he was a little conscious, and he wowed a few times indistinctly, and was dragged out of the door.

The platoon commander of the puppet army stood against the wall on one side, secretly glanced at the face of the Eighth Route Commander, and found that he did not pay attention to himself, so he quickly raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his head, not daring to breathe.

In the light, the wide eyebrows and fine eyes were calm and indifferent, he took a few steps to the window, pushed it open, and then slowly paced and turned around and walked behind the desk, Dama Jindao sat down and took out his pocket watch.

Click—it's past three in the morning.
