under fire

Chapter 257

Soldiers do not like rain because it is difficult to march.

The plains, where there has been no rain for half a year, are exposed to the sun, cracking the ground, dying trees, drying up ponds, cutting off small rivers, and making drinking water difficult for humans and animals.

What's more serious is that locust plagues have appeared in the plains, and in the low-lying valleys, there are only areas that can produce grain, and large-scale production has been reduced!

People are afraid of natural disasters, and even more afraid of man-made disasters!

The devils raided from the beginning of the year and continued into the summer. They fortified the walls and cleared the fields at the foot of the Qianli Daxing Mountain.

Everything is to prevent the development of the Eighth Route Army, so that materials from outside the mountain cannot enter the mountainous area, and implement the Sanguang policy, so that the grassland near the foot of the mountain is almost uninhabited.

Through various methods to infiltrate the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the mountains, and then carry out key raids. On the surface, it seems that the Taihang Mountain has almost been separated into an isolated place, and the Eighth Route Army has ushered in the most difficult years.

A small village sits quietly under the starlight before dawn. There is no sound in the village, and it is vaguely in the darkness.

Two vigilant figures, one in front and one in the back, gradually seeped out from the darkness in the south, walking steadily and quietly on the hillside. Not far ahead, the path turned into two bushes.

The black shadow continued to move forward, with the muzzle of the rifle pointing obliquely at the ground, and its steps hurriedly and rhythmically sounded.

Suddenly, a deep voice came from the side of the bush: "Stop, raise your hands!"

Nightcrawler was stunned, stopped walking, and froze on the spot!
After a while, two figures ooze out of the darkness at the edge of the bush, one with a pistol and the other with a rifle, slowly approaching the shadow.

"Stand still, grandpa's bullets don't recognize people!" A clearly middle-aged voice said.

After the man with the short gun finished speaking, he stood guard five or six meters away, and let the figure with the long gun vigilantly walk up to the night walker and stop. With the help of the faint starlight, he tore off the rifles on the two of them, as well as the slung sling. Mauser.

After being shot, Ma Liang frowned and said nothing: According to the situation reported by Chen Chong, the other party should be one of his own, and it is not worthwhile to be shot under the black light, and he did not resist.

The current position is the periphery of their defense zone, and there should be more than one sentry post. There is nothing wrong with them staying vigilant.

Ma Liang hurriedly showed his identity to Hei Ying and explained the situation: "We are here to find Chen Chong!"

"Chen Chong? Are you from the independent regiment?" The middle-aged man's voice sounded, and after a while, he turned his head and said to the person next to him: "You report to the headquarters! Ask that Chen Chong to come over and confirm!"

Hearing this, the man with the long gun put the bundle of guns he had confiscated in front of the middle-aged man, and ran towards the village, ready to report the situation.

After a short time, another group of black shadows followed behind Ma Liang, and Captain Liu of the district team followed up!

Although there were many people, they were still disarmed by the middle-aged people.

However, after being persuaded by Ma Liang, they temporarily put down their weapons. Otherwise, just a middle-aged sentry, it is impossible to be an opponent of more than a dozen people!Anyone who spits on him drowns him!
At this time, the sentinel just came back from the village. He looked at the large group of captives suspiciously, and admired the middle-aged man who was watching the sentry: "That. Chen Chong is on guard in the north, and he will come back after dawn!"

"Don't worry, it won't be long until dawn, isn't the sky all white?" the middle-aged man said proudly.

"Well, we are from the district team. My surname is Liu. Can you say a few words?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Captain Liu hurried forward, said something to the middle-aged man, and was immediately led by the sentinel who had just returned, and went to the village again!

"You're not bad, boy! But it's not a good habit to put down your gun every now and then!" After Captain Liu and the sentinel left, the middle-aged man educated the squatting Ma Liang.

Ma Liang, with black hair, was squatting on the ground, his feet were a little numb. In the dark, with the middle-aged man on his back, he reached out to take out the oar on his calf and inserted it into his back waist. He didn't answer, thinking to himself, knowing that you were me Man, can I still do it?
When the sky in the east was getting whiter, Hu Yi led the people closer to the woods. While walking, he exchanged information about the battle on the plain with a young man from the district team. Behind him, the little girl was sleeping soundly on a stretcher.

"Passing through this bush, not far ahead is the village Captain Liu mentioned. Shall we rest for a while?" The young man was excited, and Hu Yi added bullets to them, grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"No, try to avoid marching in unfamiliar places during the day! You must advance to the village at dawn!" Hu Yi flatly refused.

Because of the district team that is familiar with the terrain, the escort mission of Ninth Company has been completed ahead of schedule.

Because the district team knew the surrounding terrain well, Hu Yi got more information.

Most of the devils guarding the small roads of the mountain pass have already evacuated, leaving only the gun towers on the Jinshan Road still guarded by the security forces, but they can't stop the district team who are familiar with the terrain.

The only thing that is uncertain is the time when the devils will withdraw from the mountain. However, it is impossible for the devils in the brigade to enter the mountain to take a small path, and the possibility of encountering them is unlikely. Therefore, in the early morning, the district team arranged some people to replace Jiulian and escort the team into the mountain. Mountain, take the path and go.

The district team had other tasks to go out of the mountain, and Captain Liu did not personally lead the team to escort them.

A warrior who was familiar with the plain was also arranged to tell Hu Yi about the situation on the plain.

Before Hu Yi went to the Songhu battlefield, he had fought against the devil many times, but he didn't expect to turn around and return to this place again!

It has been retreating before, but now it has become a guerrilla!

Outside the bushes, the team once again made contact with the rotation team's perimeter whistle!
The middle-aged sentinel was not simple. He asked the district team all about him, but he didn't get anything out of Ma Liang and the two who were squatting aside!In addition to knowing that the numbers of the two are independent groups.

A group of soldiers under Captain Liu fell asleep in the woods, snoring loudly.

The east began to turn red, and a ray of the sun appeared.

Looking at the densely packed team led by Hu Yi, the middle-aged sentinel was not nervous. Instead, he led two sentinels from the Eighth Route Army who had just been recruited, and stopped Hu Yi in the shrubbery under the morning glow.

Seeing Ma Liang empty-handed and turned into a sentinel for the opponent, Hu Yi had black lines all over his head.

"Brother, are you here too?" Ma Liang asked with a sad face.

"Where's Captain Liu?" Hu Yi asked Ma Liang with a dark face.

"Follow them into the village!" Ma Liang quickly replied.

"Have you found Chen Chong?"

"He was guarding in the north, saying that he would come after dawn"

"Hey, hey, do you two think I don't exist? Don't say that you are also a district team, huh?" The middle-aged man saw that Ma Liang and Hu Yi knew each other, but the title was not a job title, which meant that he was not like a regular army. However, The captain of the district team said a few words about the rotation training team, explaining that they were sent by the division to deliver orders, and they were all together, so of course don't worry, so he stared at Hu Yi indifferently.

My eyes lit up, good guy, this soldier looks good, and he even brought three guns!Such fighters are rare in the Eighth Route Army.

"Hey, boy, you hung up the equipment of three people by yourself, what do you mean?"

"It's boring!" Hu Yi's face was calm. He didn't expect that he would collide with the rotation training team in this escort mission.

"Hey, what did you say, kid? Are you soldiers under Lao Lu?" The middle-aged man was not angry.
