under fire

Chapter 869 Infinite scenery
East of Baliying.

The moon sets, and the night before dawn is even darker. The plains are still extremely depressed, except for the calm wind, there is no human activity at all.

A man in black appeared and hurried along the road to the village in the shadows ahead.

After confirming the password with the guard post at the entrance of the village, he ran straight into the village.

The correspondent ran into a courtyard, into a room with lights on, and saluted Hu Yi, who was lying on the table: "Hello, Battalion Commander!"

Hu Yi, who was talking to a middle-aged man across the table, turned his head: "What's the matter?"

"The team of people moving things in Baidaokou Town has left smoothly. Company Commander Ma and Company Commander Luo plan to evacuate later."

"Understood, pay attention to vigilance!"

"Yes!" The correspondent replied, saluted and turned to leave.

The middle-aged man with patches on his arms and shoulders on the opposite side suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect you to play this trick!"

Hu Yi's face was calm: "I'm a little surprised. There are not many enemy troops in that town. Why haven't you attacked them? With the power of the division, it shouldn't be so?"

The middle-aged man suddenly asked: "Do you know where their salt is sold?"

Hu Yi was stunned for a moment, feeling that his words had the right meaning, and vaguely guessed something: "What do you mean? Could it be."

The middle-aged man nodded: "You guessed right. A small half of their salt went into the mountains, and most of it was sold to the common people. Our Eighth Route Army is a team of common people. In enemy-occupied areas, we still have to guarantee the basic daily necessities of the common people!"

Hu Yi frowned: "Then why can't the food supply be guaranteed?"

"You come out of the mountains, you should know that our agencies and teams in the mountains barely survive by digging wild vegetables and eating two meals a day, and there is even a shortage of food on the plains. Besides, we have to deal with the enemy's mopping up, and food must be given priority Protect the combat troops!"

Hu Yi didn't say any more: "I'll sleep for a while first."

"Okay, I've been driving for a day, and I'm sleepy too"

……

It was past four in the morning.

The east gate of the county seat.

A roar of engines sounded in the dark night, and the city gate suddenly opened in the dark night.

A three-wheeled motorcycle came out of the city gate with the lights shaking, and followed closely behind. In the cab of the car, the second lieutenant tightened his coat, looked at the desolate land under the dark night, raised his hand out the window, and borrowed the light of the rear car. , Looked at the gift that Mrs. Wu gave him: a round watch with a foreign gold case that was obviously not brand new.

I don't know that this thing has changed hands many times, but its value is not cheap, at least it is worth [-] military tickets.

The second lieutenant was in a trance, his eyes were not limited to this watch, although this watch was at least equivalent to half a year's salary!

He wasn't very interested in Captain Wu's plan. The Imperial Association Army had just swept through the model county for law and order, and only killed a few Eighth Route Army. For such a big scene, he really looked too highly at those guerrillas.

Not to mention that Tubalu is going to be killed this time, maybe they dare not show up at all.

Forget it, what's the point of thinking about these useless things, he is interested in those things left in the ancient capital, thinking of this, he just closed his eyes and meditated.

The translator, who was leaning against the door of the car, was blown by the cold wind to mess up his sweaty head, and looked at the second lieutenant sitting in the cab with envy.

But this guy was thinking in his heart, it would be great if there was a guerrilla attack this time!

If the second lieutenant in the car is killed, then we must find a way to get that watch!
That's how I got a gold ring last time!

The cold wind brought by the driving of the car seems to be no longer cold.

The ghosts in the rear compartment did not stand neatly like they did during the day, but were staggering and sleeping in a pile of people snoring amidst the jolts.

The speed of the convoy was not fast, because at the back, there was a group of traitors from the secret service team riding bicycles, and more than 100 security forces ran forward, closely following the convoy.

The team is advancing at a tortoise's pace.

Passing through some villages by the road, the sentries placed in the village by the road, after the convoy passed by, jumped out to greet and exchange information with the traitors on bicycles behind.

No one on the plain is willing to be a sentry, because everyone knows that if you work as an eyeliner in these villages, you may be killed by guerrillas at any time.

Therefore, many scouts maintain inexplicable contacts with the guerrillas at the same time. Most of the scouts adopt an attitude of turning a blind eye to the guerrillas who are active.
Often after the guerrilla activities, the special agents in the county will receive the news.

This situation has almost become an open secret, so that even between the two opposing parties, a delicate balance is maintained.

Looking at the convoy and the traitor team going to the east, he looked at the person next to him: "Hey, these guys are running out of the city in the middle of the night, what's going on?"

"Shouldn't ask." Soi Ying suddenly remembered that this was not his comrade, and immediately changed his words: "Uh... we came together, you don't even know, how do I know?"

"Didn't you wretches arrange someone to inquire about the news in advance?"

Being scolded as a coward, Captain Yang was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "You know what, even if we arrange people to be in the city, the news won't get out of the city at this time!"

"Oh? That's it! You two continue to watch the fun here, I'll go to sleep in the shed for a while"

After Chuan Jiu finished speaking, he picked up the suitcase beside him, got up and left.

"Hey... Let's go back and rest for a while!" Captain Yang was a little discouraged by this old man who was always picking up picks.

If he really ran away, this matter would be in big trouble.

in the dark.

Choi Jiu held two Pai Gows in one hand, and the Pai Gow made of cow bones flipped back and forth at his fingertips.

The subordinate next to him lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, what are we going to do when we come back this time?"

Hajiu stopped what he was doing: "Spend money!"

"Spending money? How did you get involved with these Eight Routes again?"

Choi Jiu stuffed the Pai Gow into his pocket casually: "They want to borrow the money from the box and spend it here in Wang Jingchang's name! I'm afraid we will take the money and run away"

There was a black line under his hand: "Are you saying that these eight roads are blind? If we two want to run, how many of them can stop us?"

Chan Jiu shook his head: "I don't think the captain surnamed Yang is a good idiot, you pig-headed be careful, don't conflict with them!"

"These guys are really shameless. We are doing things for them, but we are still guarding against our brother!"

Choi Jiu frowned and thought about something: "Be careful this time, go to the city after dawn, don't be tricked by that surnamed Wu!"

The subordinate didn't take it seriously: "If he dares to play tricks, hehe, I will kill his whole family, young and old!"

Chojiu rested his head on the cash box, closed his eyes, and always felt that the current life was not as comfortable as before.

After Boss Hu saved his life, he directly drove the gambling house into the provincial capital!

Even the big traitor Xu Jinsen in the north has to sell face now.

This time, they used the name of Wang Jingchang to get online with Captain Wu. Those who took the helm in the so-called occupied areas seemed to be acquaintances.

It looks so beautiful!
There is a whole box of money under his head, but it is a pity that he still has to live a miserable life in this dilapidated place where there is not even a quilt to cover it.

Think carefully about tomorrow's itinerary.

Go to the city after dawn, borrow the name of Wang Jingchang, the head of the An County Security Regiment, to buy opium from the head of the surname Wu.
The person surnamed Wu shouldn't be making trouble, right?
As for cheating and cheating, there is no need to think about it at all. This time, both parties in the business are overlords!
The head of the group surnamed Wu would not pay attention to a business worth 2 to [-] yuan!
After all, both sides have armies, and they can extort tens of thousands of oceans at any time by simply collecting some taxes or "raising" the two big households!

So even though there were only two of them, he wasn't afraid.

And before she left, Sister Su had confessed that if the other party really had other thoughts, saving her life would be the most important thing!

At least they can be sure that they didn't intend to kill that Wu, the reason is very simple, if they really want to kill that traitor, it would be better to assassinate him!Spending so much money to do business with traitors is not in line with Balu's habits at all!
As for the eight roads that followed, whether they have other goals or not, then what does it matter to me?
Thinking about it, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

If he knew that the box of money under his head was all given by Li Youcai, who often owed him gambling debts, he would definitely drop his jaw on the ground in shock!
And he would stretch out his thumb to praise Li Youcai: "You are so fucking awesome!"
