under fire

The Japanese dispatched troops and generals to reach a tacit agreement with Shancheng, who regarded the Eighth Route Army as a thorn in his side, and prepared to annihilate the northern Shaanxi base area.

At the same time, a frantic blockade of the Taihang Mountains was carried out, and the Eighth Route Army in the mountains faced a severe situation.

After the Japanese mobilized troops from the occupied areas in North China, the Eighth Route Army headquarters formulated a new combat plan based on the actual empty situation in the occupied areas: go behind enemy lines.

Well versed in the art of war, "encircle Wei and rescue Zhao"...

Since the Han Dynasty, the peninsula has been a vassal state of China for most of its time.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion, the intelligence agents from the peninsula were still Chinese, but they just couldn't understand what they said.

The evening sky turned fiery red due to the slanting sunlight.

Su Qing led the intelligence agents from the peninsula. They would not be able to find the ship for a while and were temporarily stranded west of the canal.

With the ability of the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion, it was not difficult to find a narrow place in the canal and swim through it. They had to give up because they were worried about the Tiger La bacteria in the canal.

The ruins and broken walls of the village.

Running in a hurry, wearing cloth shoes and gray leggings, wearing masks and carrying corpses to clean the coagulated blood.

One after another, the dark, sweaty and dirty faces of young people were dyed into a blurry golden color by the evening light. After seeing too many corpses, the hands that carried the corpses no longer trembled and their faces became expressionless.

The tiger virus is very scary. Jiuying took the lead in understanding the infection route of the virus. After taking protective measures, they raced against time to bury the dead villagers.

A large long pit was filled with firewood, and on top of the firewood were piled the bodies of the suffering villagers covered with patched sheets of various colors.

Most of the people who were carried out from which house were recorded: gender, approximate age, approximate portrait... where they were buried...

This will make it easier for possible relatives and friends to come and pay their respects in the future.

If nothing else, most of the people in the pit will never mention them again, let alone remember them.

Because the situation in the nearby villages is not much different... almost all the people are dead.

"Light the fire." Su Qing's eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

No one shed a tear.

Nothing can stop the sorrow except the blood of the enemy.

outside the village.

Monkey looked at the man in black with his hands and knees in front of him with an unkind look on his face: "Tell me, which road is it on?"

"Sir, please spare my life. We are good citizens passing by."

"Good citizen?" Monkey grinned and sneered, raised his leg and kicked the man in front of him to the ground: "Don't tell me? Then take him to the coffin."

"There are some villains who are old and young, please be kind to me." The man in black who fell on the ground struggled and begged desperately for mercy.

"You still have a tough mouth? I would like to see if the bayonet is tough." Monkey said with a sarcastic look on his face, and a bayonet that was completely black and almost non-reflective slipped from his sleeve.

Caught between life and death, the man in black's bones could not withstand the bayonet: "Japanese have been rampant recently, and we were ordered by Da Longtou to find out where the Japs are."

"Inquiring about the traces of the Japanese? Your mother is really smart. You can tell lies without blinking an eye..." The monkey curled his lips, squatted down and put the bayonet on the man's chest: "Big dragon head? Haha, Cangzhou Road, right? Then tell me, where is the ferry? What happened?"

"Ouch..." The man in black did not dare to lie this time: "Chen Baji, who was guarding the ferry, was in collusion with the Japanese. The leader ordered the security team to clean up the house."

Dukou Chen Baji has a very good relationship with the Eighth Route Army. This guy said that he colluded with the Japanese? It's a bit chaotic... Monkey was stunned for a moment: "What's going on with the Japanese by the canal?"

"Well, I really don't know."

"Then why are you here looking for traces of the Japanese?"

"I heard that there was a plague in many villages, so I stopped by to have a look." The man in black still felt lucky in his heart. If he found out that the Eighth Route Army was tipping off the Japanese, he would probably die immediately.

Monkey couldn't believe it at all.

However, this guy is relatively familiar with the general situation nearby.

These guys have been around the rivers and lakes and are very familiar with the intricate situation of various forces along the canal. They are even better than the traffic officers in gathering intelligence.

Keep it for the time being...    Guantao County Government.

After dusk, no light can come in, and the dark environment looks a bit eerie.

Lighted candles filled the entire lobby.

On the north side is a plaque with a mirror hanging high, and on the west side, the broken glass window is covered with paper.

Under the plaque, behind the desk in the lobby, sat a man in black clothes who was in his forties or fifties. Next to him, sitting in the master's seat, was a gentle and elegant man.

The two of them were whispering and discussing something.

The lobby table is also known as the public case table and the trial table.

As a symbol of the power and dignity of the government lord, it is nearly one meter higher than the stone-paved lobby.

Under normal circumstances, the lobby should be solemn and solemn.

Something was different at this time.

There is a large round table under the lobby table.

From time to time, someone would bring dishes from the kitchen behind and place them on the round table. It looked like they were preparing to hold a banquet.

Seeing that she was almost ready, the maid standing next to the round table shouted to the man in black behind the case in the lobby: "Dad, you're ready!"

The man in black turned his head and said, "Go and invite uncles!"

"it is good"

Soon, a group of people wearing different clothes poured into the lobby.

He walks smoothly and looks like he is a man of extraordinary skill.

Those who entered the lobby of the county government were obviously the big guys from Cangzhou Road. They did not need guidance and sat down in order.

Sitting in the lobby, his face was full of pimples. He pointed to a group of sworn brothers in the lobby: "As God testifies, my Lu family has been loyal to others for generations, and has never done any evil. On the day of national calamity, the Eighth Route Army actually did this to our brothers. This poisonous hand will be avenged!"

The lean old man in his fifties who was sitting at the round table under the table in the lobby shook his head: "In the current era of alien invasion, it is really not a good idea to make more enemies. If one of them fails, war will break out. Besides, this time it was our people who made the first move." hand"

"Haha!" The big dragon head shook his head: "The Eighth Route Resistance Against Japan is true, but this is our territory. When he comes to my territory, he must be coiled up by me even if he is a dragon, and he must be laid down by me even if he is a tiger!"

"Your territory?" The lean old man chuckled: "This is an occupied area. On the surface, the Japanese are on good terms with us, but in fact they are using us. There is no difference between us and those traitors."

"Now that the Japanese are powerful, do you have any other solution besides trying to compromise?"

"Isn't this just a weapon to kill rats? I don't believe that even if we raise the anti-Japanese banner, those little devils really dare to kill us all?"

"You!" Da Longtou couldn't do anything against this old man for a while, and couldn't help but feel furious in his heart: "A small impatience will ruin the big plan!"

"Every village is now plagued by a plague, and many people in the village have died. How are you going to endure it? Endure it until you become the bare commander?"

"Don't think I don't know. You, like Chen Baji, have colluded with the Eighth Route Army. You know very well what will happen to Chen Baji."

"In that case, let's just break up!" The lean old man was frustrated for a moment.

"Cheng, don't think that you have hundreds of men and guns, so you dare to yell at the big dragon! Believe it or not, I will make it impossible for you to leave the county office today!" The man in black next to Mr. Lu suddenly warned. .

The lean old man narrowed his eyes slightly: "Attacking me? Haha, do you really think that Master Cheng is a soft persimmon who can be manipulated at will?"

The big dragon head couldn't get off the tiger for a while, and shook his head and winked at the man in black next to him.

"Mr. Cheng, everyone is aware of the current situation. The Eighth Route Army is like a grasshopper after the autumn, and it will not last long." The man in black may also feel that he spoke too hastily, so he stood up to smooth things over: "Shangfeng instructs you to be patient for the time being. When the national army comes back, we can work together to regain our great land!"

"Tch, wait until you call back? Is it the Year of the Monkey or the Moon of the Horse?"

The man in black patiently said: "In the past, we traded space for time. Now that the little devil is showing signs of fatigue, now we trade time for space. This time... will definitely not be too long."

"You are flirting with the Japanese and trying to eliminate dissidents. Do you really think this old man is so easy to fool?"

The man in black finally became angry: "Don't rely on your old age to show off. If it weren't for our support, you would have been destroyed by the Japanese!"

"Bah, you have no eggs to fight the Japanese in the occupied areas. Now the people are dying for no reason. You don't send doctors to save the people from the fire and water, and you still want us to fight against the Eighth Route Army?" Old man Cheng sneered: "This cannon fodder...I am not doing it right! "
