Chapter 8: Digging Tunnels

Losing a gun is not a trivial matter, the puppet army commander searched around the room, and sure enough, he found that they had lost nearly a platoon of guns and ammunition.

The puppet army commander took off his hat and asked, "What about people, has anything happened to people?" ”

The puppet army who was attacked hurriedly said: "Captain, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and was knocked unconscious. ”

The puppet army commander looked at him and saw that he was fine except for the clothes on his body being stripped off and some bruises on his body, he seemed to understand something, and scolded and said, "Damn, people are here to steal weapons!" ”

The nose of the puppet army is crooked, it's okay to kill people, at least they are dead, and they can have an explanation with the devil, but the special mother only lost the weapon, the person is good, more than 20 people in a room, and they didn't take care of the weapon, the devil looked down on them, if he poked it out, he didn't know how the devil was going to deal with him.

A puppet soldier asked, "Captain, do you want to tell Taijun about this matter?" ”

The puppet army commander turned his head, slapped his hat off, and scolded: "Sue, sue, sue you, don't you want to eat guns?" It's okay if the person is dead, how can you tell if the person is not dead, more than a hundred people can't stand dozens of guns, and if the gun is lost, they know that they will go to Taijun, what will they think? ”

The puppet army commander lowered his voice: "I suspect that there is someone in us who is collaborating with the enemy!" I gave the gun to the eight roads, you must know that the devil is now sweeping, and you know what you are doing. ”

He raised his body with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "First control all the people in this barracks, since you are telling Taijun, then you have to find out the guy who collaborated with the enemy in the Eighth Road, otherwise, you can't deal with it if you lose more than 20 guns, don't you say?" ”

He looked at the puppet army who went to the toilet in the middle of the night, and the latter couldn't help but shiver and didn't dare to say more.

can be the commander of the puppet army, he has some means, some brains, he is not smart, he can't socialize, the puppet army commander is not good, and he will eat devils and guns at any time.

And the culprit of all this has bypassed the black wind outlet, carrying more than 20 guns, stopping all the way, stopping in the ditch half a mile away from Gaojiazhuang, wiping the sweat on his forehead, exhaling slightly, putting more than 20 guns on the ground, taking off the bullet bag on his body, and taking advantage of the rest to check the ammunition in the bullet bag.

Twenty-three bullet bags, each bullet bag has almost six or seven bullets, the number is not very many, on weekdays, the devils will not let the puppet army carry too many weapons and ammunition, they do not believe in the puppet army, therefore, the number of bullets in these more than 20 bullet bags is not the same, there are always one hundred and three bullets, the number can be described as extremely rare.

In his previous battles, which time did he not carry 300 rounds of ammunition on his body, and this 100 rounds of ammunition was not enough to stuff his teeth.

However, for Gaojiazhuang, more than 100 rounds of ammunition are already a batch of rich ammunition, not to mention that he also brought more than 20 guns, these guns are eliminated from the Japanese devils, and they are not needed weapons, but for the militia in Gaojiazhuang, these weapons are much more advanced than the red tassel guns and old sleeves in their hands, even if they are eliminated.

The wool of the puppet army is the safest, and the puppet army does not dare to bite. Devils are different, they are beasts that can bite and eat people. But there is no doubt that the wool of the devil is as good as the wool of the puppet army dozens of times, and it is even more abundant if a truck can be driven out of the devil's camp.

At this time in Gaojiazhuang, Niu Wa rang the bell, and the villagers gathered in a hurry, Niu Wa held a gun and said anxiously: "Xia Yuan is missing, Xia Yuan is missing." ”

Gao Chuanbao, Uncle Lao Zhong, Lin Xia's sister-in-law, and the old village chief ran over quickly, and immediately asked about the situation, Niu Wa said anxiously: "It's almost dawn, Xia Yuan should have gotten up early at this time, but he didn't get up today, I went into his room to look, there was no one on the bed, I thought he got up early, so I went to the village to look for it, and I didn't find anyone after looking for two laps." ”

Several people glanced at each other, and Uncle Lao Zhong asked, "Do you still have something missing?" ”

With a hint of anxiety, Niu Wa said: "No, the village is so big, I have looked for it twice inside and out, he is not in the village, and there is no one in the nearby wilderness, so where did he go?" ”

The old village An stroking said: "Niu Wa, don't worry, Xia Yuan won't lose it." Niu Wa, Lao Zhong, you take people, go to the east and west to look for it again, Chuanbao, let's go to Heifengkou to have a look, Xia Yuan's home was destroyed by devils, he is full of hatred for devils, his body is well, maybe he will go to the devils in Heifengkou to take revenge. ”

Gao Chuanbao said: "How can he do it alone, the devil will never let him go when he sees him!" ”

The old village chief said: "So, without further ado, hurry up!" ”

At this time, a militiaman hurriedly ran over and said, "Village chief, Chuanbao, Xia Yuan is back, and he still has a bundle of guns!" It's right under the big tree at the entrance of the village. ”

A few people were stunned, and the old village chief said, "Let's go, let's go and see!" ”

A group of people hurriedly came to the entrance of the village, and saw several militiamen each holding a gun, wiping back and forth with their cuffs, with joy on their dark cheeks, Xia Yuan was standing under the big banyan tree, with a string of bullet bags hanging on his body, and saw a group of people hurrying out of the village, Xia Yuan hurried to greet him.

"Uncle Lao Zhong, Brother Chuanbao, Brother Niu Wa, Sister-in-law Lin Xia, the old village chief, why are you still ringing the bell."

The old village chief said: "It's not you yet, I heard Niu Wa shouting at your throat early in the morning that you are gone, let's quickly gather the big guys to see what happened to you." ”

Xia Yuan smiled: "Village chief, what can I do." ”

Gao Chuanbao and Niu Wa saw the gun under the tree, stepped forward in three or two steps, reached out and pulled out a gun, wiped off the dusty position on the gun with the cuffs, and looked at the spear in their hands with surprise on their faces.

Gao Chuanbao said: "Good gun, good gun, this is the gun of the little Japanese devil, there are so many, it's amazing, it's amazing." ”

Niu Wa couldn't put it down and wiped the gun in his hand, this gun was several times better than his gun, he said curiously: "Where did Xia Yuan get the gun, he got so many at once." ”

Uncle Zhong's eyes fell on the guns and asked, "Where did you get these guns?" ”

Gao Chuanbao and Niu Wa listened attentively with their guns, they were very curious about where Xia Yuan got these guns and ammunition, more than 20 guns, this is a platoon of equipment, Gaojiazhuang only has four guns, Xia Yuan actually got more than 20 rifles.

The old village chief said: "You shouldn't be ...... from the black wind outlet?"

Several people were taken aback.

Xia Yuan said: "Old village chief, I stole it from the puppet army, the puppet army put the gun together when he slept at night, and no one looked at it, and when I passed by, I took it away by the way." ”

Niu Wa held the gun, her face was full of disbelief, and said, "You said, you stole these guns from the puppet army?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, the puppet army is not as cautious as devils, they are relatively loose, and they are easy to steal, if they steal devils, it is not easy to steal." ”

He patted the bullet bag on his body again and said, "This is also stolen from the puppet army, they put all their clothes and bullet bags together, took the gun, and took all their bullet bags away." ”

Xia Yuan unloaded the bullet bags on his body, there were bullets in each bullet bag, Gao Chuanbao and Niu Wa listened to it, but they were very surprised, Xia Yuan was relaxed when he said it, and he didn't feel the danger at all, but they knew that if they wanted to steal such weapons and equipment from the puppet army, they would take a lot of risk, and they might die if they weren't careful.

When they listened, they really sweated for Xia Yuan in their hearts.

Xia Yuan said: "I was caught by the devil to repair the turret before, and I observed the terrain, just thinking about how to escape, so I am also very familiar with it, thinking that if I can steal some guns, I can shoot the devil." ”

The old village chief said happily: "It is best to come back safely." And with this batch of guns, our Gaojiazhuang's combat effectiveness will rise a lot, and we will no longer be afraid of devils coming to sweep up! ”

Sister-in-law Lin Xia beckoned the members of the Young Women's Anti-Japanese Vanguard to take away the gun captured by Xia Yuan, and then she said: "Xia Yuan, although you did a good job, but there can't be a next time, you suddenly disappeared, the big guy is worried about you, and if this is discovered by the devil, you can't run away if you want to." ”

Gao Chuanbao said: "She is also worried about you, and finally escaped from the devil's hands, if she is caught by the devil again, it will be difficult to run out again." ”

Facing Lin Xia's persuasion, Xia Yuan accepted it humbly and said, "Sister-in-law Lin Xia, Brother Chuanbao, don't worry." ”

There are more than 40 militia members in Gaojiazhuang, only four guns, which are given priority to members of the guerrillas, and the militia mostly use red tassel guns, and the guns and ammunition are very expensive, and they can only retreat in the face of the sweep of the Japanese devils.

More than 100 rounds of ammunition, more than 20 guns, this batch of weapons and equipment came in a very timely manner, the old village chief called a meeting, and said: "We can't keep all these weapons, leave a few guns, and give the rest to the division, in addition to Gaojiazhuang, there are several villages The situation is the same as that of Gaojiazhuang, and half of the ammunition is left." ”

The seized weapons were handed over to the public, whether it was the Eighth Route Army or the guerrillas, and this was an iron-clad discipline.

Of course, special cases, special handling.

Everyone had no objections, Xia Yuan also nodded silently, and the old village chief said again: "The weapon was captured by Xia Yuan, and it will be given to him first, there is no doubt." ”

Everyone shook their heads, if it weren't for Xia Yuan, they wouldn't even have these twenty guns, and it was natural to give Xia Yuan a gun.

"Eight members of the guerrillas, then leave five rifles, and hand over the remaining rifles to the public, and I will write a letter to the division." The old village chief got up, found a crumpled piece of paper, solemnly wrote down the weapons they had seized and the distribution of guns, and handed it to the militia who delivered the letter, so that he could send it to the sub-district as soon as possible.

Subsequently, the old village chief left Xia Yuan a Type 38 rifle, plus three bullets.

Gao Chuanbao advised: "On weekdays, don't leave bullets in the magazine, when you're fine, wipe the gun well, the gun is life, life is the gun, and you must do not leave the gun." ”

Xia Yuan put the gun behind his back and nodded heavily: "Brother Chuanbao, don't worry, the gun is there, and the gun is still there!" ”

Gao Chuanbao patted Xia Yuan's shoulder and said in a low voice: "I acted last night, but did I find anything?" ”

Xia Yuan said: "The devil's strength in the Black Wind Mouth Turret is much less, almost more than 20 people, one squad of the puppet army, one squad of devils, there are more than 200 devils in Heifeng Town, they are heavily guarded, and the puppet army has a company, stationed on the west side of Heifeng Town. ”

Gao Chuanbao's eyes condensed slightly, and asked, "You infiltrated Black Wind Town last night?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded and admitted cleanly: "It was the devils in Black Wind Town who arrested me, I will not forget the captain of the Japanese devil's team, he killed my relatives, I will not let him go in my life." ”

After that, there was a lingering hatred in his eyes, and this hatred was hatred for the brutal Japanese devils. It was brought about by the memory of his identity given by the system, in which he witnessed the brutal images of the village being burned down and the villagers being slaughtered, and he felt extremely angry at the brutality of the Japanese army.

Gao Chuanbao said: "We will not let them go, the people will not let them go, and sooner or later we will make them pay!" ”

"I'll kill him myself."

Xia Yuan nodded heavily, and asked again: "Brother Chuanbao, I also found that the food that the devil stole was put in Black Wind Town!" ”

"The devil is trying to transport all the food he has robbed!" Gao Chuanbao's eyes sank slightly, and he said: "This information is very important, I'll go to the village chief first." Niu Wa, you teach Xia Yuan how to shoot and how to aim. ”

Niu Wa sighed and said, "Xia Yuan, tell the village chief about this matter, the village chief will report the situation to the sub-district, and the grain that the devil grabbed will definitely attract the attention of the sub-district." ”

Xia Yuan nodded, his personal strength is very limited in the general environment, even if he is the village chief of Gaojia Village, it is impossible to take more than forty militiamen, and his combat effectiveness is not even enough for the Japanese devils in Heifeng Town to attack the Japanese devils in Heifeng Town at night, not to mention that his rash actions will be related to the anti-Japanese situation in the entire concentrated plain area.

Although the Japanese devils are now struggling with logistics and the war ahead is tight, the combat effectiveness of the devils is still not to be underestimated, and they are anxious about whether they will commit another Jinling massacre.

At present, the war situation in the central Hebei region is a situation of mutual restraint, only the people in the enemy-occupied areas are living a relatively difficult life and are in dire straits, and there are also some people in the enemy-occupied areas whose lives are quite okay and are less exploited by the devils, and some of the devils are also afraid that they will encounter the guerrillas' retaliation, but they are really provoked, and the frenzied devils are still capable of doing things that hurt the heavens and reason.

Therefore, any action against the Japanese army must be reported to the superiors, and some of the Eighth Route Army, guerrillas, militia and even military engineering teams in the village will protect the safety of the people.

Xia Yuan considered that if the Japanese army wanted to transport away the grain obtained through the sweep, the process would not be too easy, especially after the Eighth Route Army got the information in this regard, it would not let the devils easily transport the grain away, but all of them, the actions against the Japanese army may be advanced.

In the morning, Niu Wa taught Xia Yuan to shoot, and in the afternoon, the plan to dig a tunnel had already begun.

A vigorous tunnel battle will also begin.
