under fire

Chapter 948: Heaven and Earth Are Not Blowing
Moonlit night, dark, wilderness.

Sneaking across the blockade in the middle of the night, there were other people besides Balu, perhaps bandits, or smuggled opium dealers.

Tian Sanqi, who was hiding in the ditch, straightened his big-brimmed hat and put it on tightly.

There was a sudden gunshot in the direction of the train station in the south, which made him nervous.

He didn't know what the other guerrillas would do, but the Ninth Battalion were all daring masters, so he was very worried that the battalion commander would attack the train station.

Under the cover of armed work teams and underground comrades, I stayed in this area for a few days and learned a lot about the situation along the railway.

Devils along the railway line led puppet troops who were familiar with the local conditions to carry out night raids, and devils and traitors disguised as the Eighth Route Army ran around everywhere.

He had set up a guard post to the south, but he could not continue the guard if he wanted to send a message back.

So Tian Sanqi felt that it was necessary to find out the details, so he arranged for two soldiers with reconnaissance experience to go over to see the situation.

The two soldiers bent their backs and ran south along the ditch vigilantly.

The light in the ditch was not very good, and the soldiers walking in front didn't pay attention and stepped on a limp body.

"oops"

The scout scolded: "Let you be on the alert, kid, you're better off, come here to sleep, your mother, get up quickly"

"I can't even see a ghost around here." The sleepy-eyed man on the ground said.

"Didn't you hear the gunfire?"

Yawning and muttering: "I heard that."

"Then what did you find?"

Under the faint moonlight, seeing these two also wearing security uniforms, the one on the ground didn't take it seriously: "I found a fart, didn't I tell you... I didn't even see a ghost."

"It's so long-winded, the gun was fired over there, and the company commander asked us to investigate!"

"The company commander asked us to reconnaissance?" The man on the ground yawned dissatisfiedly: "Didn't it just be shot at the station? It's not surprising that a brother escaped at night, what's so interesting?"

The scout froze for a moment: "Brother? What brother?"

"Aren't those who stay in the town all our brothers?"

Immediately, the two scouts rushed directly to the two hundred and five on the ground.

I didn't expect to catch a tongue so easily.

Soon we met with the guard post, and after a discussion, the guard post escorted the panicked puppet army back.

Two fighters with "reconnaissance" experience decided to split up.One person went to find out the situation of the enemy in the southern village, and the other person went to find out what happened at the train station.
After dark, Tubalu, who was running away, swung his legs very fast.

The lieutenant who followed closely led the elites in hot pursuit.

Shigenobu's method of chasing people according to their footprints is really good. So far, the vanguard has been hanging behind the eight roads.

He just chased from the east yesterday, and now he is chasing the footsteps of the eighth road and returning the same way.

The lieutenant was a little dumbfounded.

If it wasn't for Shigenobu's request that these dirt roads can't be wiped out, the elites just need to speed up from the two wings, speed up a little and outflank them, and none of the dirt roads in front will be able to escape!

How embarrassing is it to let the elite accompany these cowards who only know how to escape and waste their energy on it by running around at night?
In order to avenge the dead elites, the lieutenant resisted the feeling of eating flies and planned to carry out this hunting operation to the end.

The vanguard in tattered guerrilla uniforms suddenly stopped.

The sergeant leading the team stood by the roadside, licking his chapped lips: "Report, something is not quite right"

After chasing for almost a whole day and night, the lieutenant also felt a little overwhelmed, so he stopped: "What's wrong?"

"The number of people running away seems to be decreasing."

Not surprisingly!The lieutenant guessed: "Could it be that the Tuba Road has divided its troops?"

"no!"

"There is no division of troops? What's going on?" The lieutenant was startled.

"That's the blame. The number of Tuba Road is decreasing, but we have carefully looked around the place where the footprints began to decrease, and we didn't find any footprints left by Balu!"

The lieutenant felt a little unbelievable: "How many are missing?"

Juncao was a little nervous: "It's not that there are a few fewer, but that there are fewer and fewer. Now there are only four people left."

The lieutenant was finally taken aback: "What did you say? There are more than a dozen dirt roads, but only four are left? What about the others?"

"In order not to reveal their whereabouts, the warriors did not light torches, and the flashlight ports were covered with cloth. They chased along the footprints left by the eighth road. At the beginning, they lost one person. We judged that some people might not be able to run on the eighth road. Being carried or put on a stretcher."

"Ba Ge, why did you report it now?" growled.

"Because, the little footprints that Shigenobu-kun mentioned that appeared at the scene have always been there."

The lieutenant really wanted to slap Sergeant Cao, so he held back his anger and didn't do it. After thinking for a while, he suddenly smiled: "It seems that Shigenobu's idiot missed it. We really caught the tail of the Eighth Route Secret Service."

"what?"

"Ordinary eight roads definitely don't have this ability"

"It is said that the eight roads can go to the sky and enter the earth." Juncao was cautious.

The lieutenant's face was grim: "Hehe, I really want to see the legendary Tubalu who can go to heaven and earth. If there is such a person, don't they know to kill them directly at our headquarters? There must be something we don't know about it. Looks like this is getting more and more interesting.”

"Yes, I also think that this gang is not simple."

"You immediately lead the warriors to speed up, go around in front of them, and surround them!"

Juncao was stunned for a moment: "The subordinates are dull, you mean to attack them now?"

The lieutenant nodded: "If you don't do anything again, these dirtbags will really go to heaven. Where can I find them?"

Not far ahead.

Four figures, three men and one woman, were panting by the side of the road.

From dark to now, I ran for nearly six hours in a row!
At this time, the distance from Baidaokou is estimated to be at least 60 miles!
In enemy-occupied areas, it is not easy to maintain such a marching speed.

Encountered a lot of ghosts and ghosts along the way, and those who don't have eyes are lying in the ditch beside the road, dying: They have clearly shown their identities, why does he want to use a knife on these people?
The most important thing is that all four of them put on black detective team shirts at this time, like ghosts in the dark night.

Li Xiaolian carefully looked at the wilderness under the moon in the distance behind, and asked casually: "I said. What kind of wicked thing did you do? This devil has been chasing him for most of the night without giving up?"

Shi Cheng listened to the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion bragging about the general situation, panting heavily, his throat was smoldering: "That. We wiped out their elite group some time ago."

"Let's run again and it will be dawn. This is almost to the place where the water is moored in Liangshan."

"You're really good at talking, we're probably one or two hundred miles away from Liangshan Mountain."

"I can't run anymore"

"Then change your shoes and leave!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolian was not polite, and immediately took out a pair of cloth shoes from her bag, and kept changing her mouth: "You think... Li Laosan can really catch up with girls?"

"He left first, he should have joined the girls long ago."

"Are you sure we can find them?"

"Of course!"

"That's a good idea! Leave no footprints for thousands of miles..."

"Hey, let's reduce people as we walk, I'll see how the little devil chases him."

A black figure next to him suddenly yelled strangely: "No, the devils are quickly outflanking the main road."

"Hey, they won't be chasing from behind anymore?" Shi Chengyi got up from the top: "Then run quickly. As long as you run faster than the devil, he will have nothing to do with us!"

"The devils have been chasing after us, which means that we have found that our number is decreasing, and they are in a hurry." Li Xiaolian changed her shoes: "I said, little stone, we can't waste with them anymore, we have to leave now."

"No, if we all 'disappear' suddenly, the devil will definitely find out how we left." Shi Cheng continued to shake his head after saying this: "Otherwise, I will continue to lure the devil away to the east. The three of you are very skilled. leave first"

"Let's go together, this dark place, the little devil wants to catch up with us, there is no door." Li Xiaolian did not agree with Shi Cheng's suggestion at all. In other words, her sister is still with Balu.
Shi Cheng shook his head and said, "No, in this way, we may all be targeted by devils."

With Li Xiaolian and another Daoist holding his arms, Shi Cheng felt as if his body was flying through the clouds.
This chapter is not finished, see the author's words for the content after the ellipsis.
　If it weren't for the two Taoists carrying it, Shi Cheng wouldn't have been able to walk so fast.

　　He thought of the way, of course he can walk on stilts, but walking under the moonlight, with the wind whistling in his ears, he thinks he has no such ability.

　　When going to the temple fair during the Spring Festival on the plain, there are more people walking on stilts, and many ordinary villagers will play this trick.

　　Li Xiaolian didn't care: "The little devil has been chasing our footprints, how did he know that we can do this, and we can cover such a distance with one step?"

　　"Hey, if we all leave like this, the little devil will find those stick holes on the ground sooner or later."

　　"If you find it, you will find it. What are you worried about? Even if the little devil calls the dog traitors nearby and finds us leaving on stilts, it will be after dawn."

　　This chapter is over.

　　Walking on stilts in Qinyang, Henan Province, one of the national intangible cultural heritage.

　　The best thing is to walk on stilts to carry the fire sedan chair, which has a long history and has been handed down since the Tang and Song Dynasties.

　　Chaoge, in the Qi River area!
　　Baliying, the capital of Weiguo.

　　"Simuwu" Dafang Ding was in the military officer village where Tian Sanqi stayed.

　　It was unearthed 39 years ago, and the news of the unearthed was learned by the Japanese army long ago. The villagers were worried that they would be discovered by the Japanese army and buried it underground again!
