under fire

Chapter 830 Mission
The wicked girl was not bragging, she pretended to be tender and stupid, and directly made the old bandit faint.

Luo Fugui saw it in his eyes and heard it in his ears, laughing until his stomach ached.

I couldn't help being curious about what she was planning, so I walked slowly behind the girl, swinging my legs, poking my head out to watch the girl pinch the old bandit's upper lip under his nose.
Xiao Zhui'er sat next to the old bandit head at the front of the carriage, and worked for a long time. Seeing the bandit's movement, he immediately jumped out of the carriage as if he had changed into a different person.

Luo Fugui quickly helped him up: "Be careful not to break your leg under the wheel."

Under the light of the torch tied to the front of the carriage, those two big eyes shone brightly, as beautiful as bright stars in the sky.

The team did not return the same way, but went directly to the west, preparing to detour westward from the north of Hua County.

At dawn, the team arrived at Jiujianfang Village, about five miles south of Beidaokou Town Chief on the Jindi River, and more than 20 miles southwest of Huaxian County.

The sun began to rise, the sky was high and cloudy.

The land is vast, desolate and desolate, and there are no people.

In the north of Hua County, Shigu Village by the Jindi River.

A team of motley clothing sneaked into the village along the irrigation canal in the morning light.

The leader, Captain Yang, had black circles around his eyes. It was obvious that he hadn't slept the night before. The team flowed directly into a broken courtyard at the entrance of the village.

Captain Yang took the two soldiers and continued to trot towards the village until they reached a broken courtyard with door gods posted on half of the gate.

Leaving the two soldiers separately guarding outside the gate of the courtyard, Captain Yang did not enter through the gate, but went around half a circle skillfully from a gap in the side courtyard wall, approached the wing cautiously, and whispered in a joyful tone: " Old Li, Old Li?"

He yelled for a long time, but no one responded in the room. He suddenly had a bad feeling. He drew out his pistol and walked slowly to the main entrance. He leaned against the wall and carefully opened the gray rag curtain tied with a rope. The wooden door is ajar.

Without hesitation, he quickly dodged into the main room with his gun against the wall.

He raised his gun and looked around, but found nothing.

His eyes slowly adapted to the darkness in the room, and he quickly walked into the side room without a curtain, only to see that the room was in a mess. It should be that someone had rummaged through the cabinets and searched, and even the ground had traces of being poked with bayonets.

Putting the barge gun into the dirty cloth belt, took out a match and struck a light, and began to carefully inspect the room for a while, but found nothing.

Turn around and go back to the main room, open the curtain and walk out of the main room door, and finally find a mark on the side of the door covered by the dangling curtain: a shallow oblique fork that looks like a fingernail digging on the hard earth wall.

Captain Yang was thinking nervously, his head was a little dizzy, and he supported the wall for a while to understand: something must have happened to Lao Li!
Entering the house again, lit a match, and found clues in a crack in the earth wall that was not easy to find, directly found a thin wooden stick in the house, carefully poked it into the crack of the wall, and slowly took out a piece of paper .

Going out with the note in hand, seeing the list above clearly in the sun, I finally let out a long sigh.

Without further hesitation, he climbed over the wall and exited the broken courtyard, called the two soldiers on guard, and quickly left the small courtyard of Lao Li's house.

After turning a corner, the two security guards turned into a small courtyard next to them.

Captain Yang returned to the small courtyard at the entrance of the village alone.

More than a dozen staff members who had been vigilant in the yard immediately surrounded them: "Captain, why are you back so soon?"

Captain Yang's face was gloomy and he said slowly: "Old Li has had an accident!"

He was in a very bad mood, and the more than ten members of the work team around him didn't ask any more questions, and waited for the captain to speak with wide eyes.

The courtyard immediately fell silent.

After a long while, Captain Yang said again: "Old Li should have been captured by the enemy."

A young team member was startled, and said anxiously: "Then we are in trouble this time, and we can't find a contact person. How will this task be completed?"

Captain Yang ignored the team members' questions: "This matter is very strange. Secretary Li's identity is very secretive. Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for the traitor to know his identity!"

"Captain, it's useless to say anything now, the most urgent thing is to find out the whereabouts of Secretary Li first."

A person at the gate of the courtyard immediately said: "I heard a piece of news last night, maybe it has something to do with Secretary Li."

Captain Yang turned his head: "Tell me quickly."

"This news is related to the spy team of the traitor Wu Hexiu. It is said that those traitors are going to hold a shooting meeting in Baliying today!"

"Bali Camp?" Captain Yang pondered for a while: "Map!"

A team member next to him immediately pulled out the map and spread it on the ground.

Captain Yang pointed to the map: "Bali Battalion is more than [-] miles east of Huaxian County. The traitors shot and killed the assembly? How did they go so far?"

Members of the armed task force behind enemy lines are not easy!Everyone participating in the work team must be a platoon-level cadre with rich combat experience, and must be able to understand maps!
The map is very simple, with clear markings. A person looking at the map next to him said casually: "We are just between Baliying and the county seat, and the distance is not too far!"

Captain Yang didn't spend too much time on the map: "Let's talk about the situation of the traitors in Hua County first."

One team member spoke first: "I just came back from investigating the situation in the city, and according to the people in the city, last year the sub-district defeated Xia County, but it withdrew after a while.

The dog traitor Wu Hexiu led people to occupy the county again, and publicly hung a sign of "Secret Service Team" in front of the gate of Wu's old house on Guanxi Street.

Wu Hexiu's team is mainly based on some relatives and friends of his family. In the past few years, relying on the devils to support money and food, taking advantage of the severe drought last year, he recruited a lot of troops in this area. people! "

A middle-aged man next to him immediately added: "The superior gave Wu Hexiu the information of this dog traitor. This guy was originally a staff member in our Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area, but later he surrendered to the enemy for unknown reasons and caused a lot of damage to the division. This dog who surrendered to the enemy The traitor has been fighting against the Japanese elements, and there are at least six or seven hundred underground intelligence personnel, plus the fortress households and our development activists who died in his hands.
The superiors asked us to eradicate this traitor at all costs.

There is a strange situation in the middle, Wu Hexiu once again occupied Hua County, but declared to the outside world that he is the deputy head of the secret service team, and logically there should be a regular head! "

Captain Yang was a little puzzled: "Why didn't you catch this traitor last year when the division took over Xia County?"

"At that time, he led people to raid outside, and he happened not to be in the city!" The person who came back from the city paused, and then continued: "This area was originally in charge of Captain Yu and the others, but this time the puppet army raided their team and suffered heavy losses. , the superior arranged for us to take over, and without finding Lao Li, we have no way of knowing the details!"

Captain Yang pondered for a while: "It caused such a big loss, this time we must find out the details of this guy, even if we sacrifice our entire work team! We must get rid of this traitor."

The man who came back from the city smiled wryly: "The traitor Wu Hexiu has always lived in seclusion, and his whereabouts are secretive. In addition, his spies are all related to his relatives. Can't get in."

The middle-aged man next to him thought for a while: "Now that Lao Li has been arrested, this line is also broken, and there is no way to start work in a short time. Now we should contact Captain Yu and the others to find out the situation here before we start work." Intend!"

Captain Yang shook his head: "Go back to the district hospital to find Captain Yu and the wounded to understand the situation. It will take at least a day to go back and forth! The top priority is to study how to rescue Secretary Li!"

The middle-aged man immediately understood what Team Yang meant: "But what if the shooting meeting held by the traitor wasn't to shoot Secretary Li?"

Captain Yang immediately decided: "Take two paths at the same time!"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "There is no need to rush this matter! The situation is unknown now, and it is impossible for us to save people from traitors with our little manpower!"

Captain Yang looked unhappy: "What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man is not afraid: "I suggest that we should lurk first and contact intelligence personnel through other channels before making plans."

Captain Yang was angry: "Our comrade was shot by the enemy, so we have the obligation to rescue him!"

The middle-aged man confronted each other: "But don't forget, we have a more important task. We must kill that traitor named Wu first!"

The person next to him hurriedly persuaded: "Hey, let me tell you two, put the fire out first, everyone is for work"

There was a sudden shouting sound outside the small courtyard.

Two staff members escorted a sly-eyed guy into the yard.

Captain Yang put away the map subconsciously, stood up and turned to look at the gate of the courtyard: "What's going on?"

A team member pushed the thing he was holding in his hand: "This kid is probably a spy arranged by the traitor in the village!"

The young man staggered a few steps, his face turned pale, and he defended tremblingly: "My lords hold your hands high, I'm really not a spy, I'm a good citizen, I'm just afraid."

The team member at the back proudly reported to Captain Yang: "This guy is hiding in the courtyard diagonally opposite to the old Li's yard. He saw us entering the old Li's yard and wanted to report it! Hehe, how did he know that we would kill someone?" Return the carbine!"

Captain Yang was overjoyed, at first he thought there was no one in the village, and he arranged for someone to go back to check it out just as a precaution, but unexpectedly he caught a tongue!
"Are you a good citizen? Then tell me, what's your name?"
