under fire

Chapter 240 About
A team was advancing rapidly in the hilly area. A young man was about a mile ahead, carrying a rifle and looking around nervously from time to time, walking in a hurry.

Every time he passed a hill, the young man would run to the top of the hill, look around, and find that the fields around him were empty and lifeless. He was shocked, but he waved back in confidence, and ran to the next hill in front of him.

On the main road behind, Ma Liang, the platoon leader of the Ninth Company, staggered along the road with more than [-] men and women. All of them were carrying heavy grain bags, and half of them put their [-] rifles on the grain bags. , but still heading east, talking and laughing all the way.

Under the sun, there was no wind, and it was still hot, because everyone was so hot that they were sweating, and beads of sweat flowed down their foreheads.

The team followed the path, crossed one hill after another, and crossed an unknown number of small rivers that had dried up.

"Platoon leader, why is there no one? How far is it?" A soldier wiped his sweat and asked.

"The devils have just finished their raids, and the common people are hiding. They should be there before dark." Ma Liang stretched out his hands and built a pergola, avoiding the sun and looking up at the sky.

"Why don't we go with Xiaodou?" the soldier asked again.

"Your feet, can you compare to him? If the head of the group finds out that we have obtained so much food, we still want to leave, and there is no door?"

"Then why don't you tell Xiaodou that we are going to find the company commander too?"

"Is your mouth tired? Can you stop for a while?"

The sun was in the west, and more than 20 people were still sweating and walking on the road. The front felt a lot flatter, and finally saw some fields. Although there was nothing planted in those fields, a village was needed if there were fields. Maybe the company commander and the others Not far ahead.

A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly noticed that the leading soldier in front had stopped at the top of a hill, and there seemed to be another figure beside him.

Quickly growled: "There is a situation!"

"Everyone hide!" After Ma Liang immediately gave the order, he came forward to a short rock and pulled out the binoculars to observe.

It was too far away to see clearly, but it seemed that the two of them were talking, with rifles on their backs, and they were looking in their direction.

Don't think about it, he must have met one of his own people, otherwise he should be holding a rifle. This piece of land is deserted, except for the company commander and the others, there should be no one else.

After a while, Ma Liang got up and waved to the crowd lying on the ground panting behind: "The company commander and the others are probably in front, work harder, we will be there in a while!"

Soon, the team merged with the vanguard in front.

Several soldiers stepped forward and asked the sentinel of Li Xiang's platoon.

"Is the company commander in front?"

"Why didn't Company Commander Hu go back to the wine stand, and ran directly to this place?"

"This place, I heard that there are enemies everywhere, why did you choose such a poor place?"

The sentinel smiled and answered the inquiries of Ma Liang and his party.

"Brother Ma Liang, these female soldiers? They don't seem to be the militiamen of our Jiuzhan Village? What's the matter?" The sentinel stared wide-eyed.

"How do you know it's not a militia?" Ma Liang asked seriously.

"Hey, the ones at the wine stand aren't that pretty! Besides, I know them all!" The sentinel replied with a babble.

"roll!"

When the sun was about to reach the top of the mountain in the west, the team arrived at the destination.

And the people scattered in the villages are all rushing to the south of the village to gather, and from time to time they greet people who have just come and sat on the ground for a long time, you punch me twice, I push you twice, bragging about each other after parting experience.

In the hut, Hu Yi was talking to Ma Liang alone, and briefly told Ma Liang about the situation of entering the mountain. Ma Liang was very annoyed that he missed such a big battle.

But without regret, he proudly told Hu Yi how he contacted the dog traitor, rescued a group of people from the devil's "execution ground", and how he passed through the gun tower set up by the devil's security forces at the mountain pass.

The soldiers of the Ninth Company finally got together again.

"Brother, that, the head of the regiment set up the regiment headquarters at the wine station!"

"Let's just get another one. How are the crops in Qingshan Village?"

"Don't tell me, the devil doesn't know why this time, he didn't sweep the wine shop, and he turned a blind eye to the crops in the mountain village!"

"It's not that the devils aren't destroying the crops, it's that they don't bother to do these things at all, because the devils' troops that went into the mountains this time basically didn't lead the security forces. The real bad things are these traitors who recognize the thieves as their fathers."

"I heard from the head of the group that we captured a radio station and made a great contribution?"

"Give it away, by the way, you have come all the way, have you encountered any enemies?"

"No, I was just about to tell you about this. I used to go out of the mountain, and there were always security forces and detective teams in the nearby villages. This is good. Some time ago, guerrillas from all over the country launched large-scale attacks on traitors and artillery towers. In addition, the devils raided, and the common people ran away, so when I came back this time, I didn’t even see the traitors, so I don’t know where these common people have gone!”

"Be calm, the situation is unclear now, after the devils retreat from the mountains, they may have to sweep them up!"

"The regiment has arranged a special person to watch the devil's movements, and three companies are guarding the mountain pass."

"I already know about this, how many people did you bring?"

"Not many, more than 20?"

"The wounded we left in the company don't add up to that many, do they?"

"Didn't you save a group of people from the devil's execution ground some time ago? After Officer Zheng came back, he went through the review and kept the suspicious people in the regiment. I brought all the people who passed the review!"

With a creaking sound, the door was pushed open, and a braid protruded from the edge of the door, and then half a head popped out, and a black face stuck out.

"Oh, where did this beggar come from?" Ma Liang looked at the dirty face, pretending to be surprised.

"Well, you are heartless, dare to laugh at my aunt, hehe, I will see you later."

"Oh, isn't this a girl? I haven't seen you for a long time. Why have you turned black? Hehe, I almost didn't recognize you."

"Smelly shameless, what are you doing with three female soldiers? Do you think our company is not lively enough?"

"Ah, what does the female soldier have to do with the excitement? I heard that you're killing all directions again this time?"

"Hey, I managed to set aside some belongings, and I was completely defeated by the surname Lu. We even became fat in the eyes of others. Everyone wants to bite. Hao Yun, who can drive an armored car, was taken away by the military division. Yes, hey."

"He really knows how to drive an armored vehicle? I didn't see it."

"But this time I picked up a treasure, Ma Liang, have you ever heard of someone who can dodge bullets in this world?"

"Ah, what is going on here, I'm telling you stuff, you keep talking stuff, is it interesting, dodge bullets, you can just talk, and you can still hide from grenades, it depends on your virtue!"

"Don't believe it? Forget it if you don't believe it. You will regret it later."

"Don't talk about those useless things, Ma Liang has come all the way, take him to dinner quickly, after a while, you take him out to familiarize yourself with the terrain."

"Well, Ma Liang, let me tell you, we are short of water here now, please tell me, we must pay attention to saving."

"Water shortage? What kind of broken place is this? The wine stand is better. So, how can we save?" Ma Liang was a little speechless, saving food, saving bullets, and playing with water in the wine stand, so saving water is really nonsense.

"Listen clearly, wash your face with a bowl of water, wash your feet after washing, and save the rest of the water to feed the animals!" the girl ordered sternly.

"Where's the shower?"

"I don't have anything to drink. What kind of bath is there? However, there is a reservoir more than 30 miles to the north. If you don't feel tired, you can try it!"
