The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2052 Rushing
It was another morning. After breakfast, Xu Lang, who was rushing to Shang Zhen’s camp, said to Li Shan: “They are really dawdling. In this weather, the people on the tower—”

Xu Lang didn't finish what he said, but everyone who should understand understood.

On that day, although it was early autumn, the temperature was not much lower. The person on the city wall hanging by a rope must have stink a long time ago!
Li Shanyi remained silent, what else could he say?

The Eighth Route Army provided support along the way and even the means to enter the county town, and Shang Zhenying was responsible for bringing back the bodies. This was originally his proposal.

Originally, after they received the intelligence, those people had already been killed in the battle for some time. Now they were delayed for another two days. It would be strange if the bodies didn't stink!

But isn’t it the same for everyone who dies? Whether you are an anti-Japanese hero or a traitor, your body will rot and deteriorate after you die. This is the natural law of heaven and earth. No one can escape this, from emperors and generals to peddlers and hawkers!
Li Shan certainly understood that the bodies of the two female comrades of the Eighth Route Army were still hanging there, but then again, since the bodies of the ten soldiers of the Northeast Army were also there, if the Northeast Army did not take any action, they could only wait.

"Xiao Axe, when you dealt with these people before, were they also so slow?" Seeing that Li Shan didn't say anything, Xu Lang turned around and asked Xiao Axe.

"It's okay. It's never been so slow. Haven't you dealt with their people before?" Little Axe kicked the "ball" back to him.

So Xu Lang had nothing to say.

In silence, the three men rushed to the battalion headquarters, and at this time, Wang Laomao was already waiting there.

Behind Wang Laomao stood a row of soldiers disguised as city dwellers. There were some taller, some shorter, some fatter, and some thinner. There were about thirty of them, and there were four horse-drawn carriages parked next to them.

This was agreed upon by both parties yesterday, and the action team sent by Shang Zhenying to seize the remains of the martyrs.

Compared with the silence of Li Shan and the other three, Wang Laomao seemed more enthusiastic today than yesterday.

"Look, these are the members of the action team we are looking for. They are all good players selected from our camp!" Wang Laomao introduced.

While Li Shan and his team were examining these team members, Wang Laomao pointed at one of the tall and mighty soldiers and said, "Look, this is our big stupid one. Not only in our battalion, but also in our division, he is the best!"

Xu Lang looked at Da Laoben without saying a word. He had an impression of Da Laoben because he had fought with him before.

But just when Li Shan was measuring Da Lao Ben, Wang Laomao said, "I'm old, and my legs and feet are not very agile. I won't go on this operation. Qian Chuan'er will be in charge!"

Li Shan responded "OK" and nodded to Qian Chuan'er. They had already met yesterday.

"Let's go, everyone get in the carriage!" Qian Chuan waved his hand, and everyone got in the carriage. The carriage started running as the soldier driving the carriage waved his whip.

Things were different after all with that carriage. A few hours later, their convoy of four carriages reached the edge of the Northeast Army's sphere of influence.

At this time, everyone got off the carriage, and the soldier in charge of driving the carriage shouted and drove the carriage back.

As for why they did this, it was all discussed by Li Shan and Wang Laomao, in order to keep their whereabouts secret.

After all, this time they were going to the county town to retrieve the bodies. If they were discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops, it was hard to imagine what these 30-plus people would face.

However, when they arrived here, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas who had been waiting here for a long time came to meet them. The horse-drawn carriages were gone, so they changed to walking. Although everyone still marched in a line, this time they walked on remote paths.

Taking a small road is definitely not as fast as taking a main road, so the marching speed was increased. Both the liaison officers of the Eighth Route Army and the soldiers of Shang Zhen's camp trotted on the small road in a forced march posture.

But jogging is still running, and it definitely tests a person's physical strength.

In the end, when they ran to the next resting point, the Eighth Route Army's liaison officer, Li Shan Xiao Axe, and Shang Zhenying's special operations team were running at the same pace. Not surprisingly, Xu Lang was left at the back.

Only at this point did Li Shan realize the capabilities of the legendary Shang Zhenying soldiers. Judging from the intensity of their march, the Eighth Route Army was no better.

It seems that Shang Zhenying's ability to defeat the Japanese army is not just a legend, but it is indeed possible, as can be seen from its marching ability. Finally, when it was dark, the courier took them to the edge of a village that Qianchuaner and the others did not know about, and asked everyone to wait there, while he went into the village alone.

The Eighth Route Army’s intelligence and transportation network was indeed well-established. After a short while, the courier came back and led them to the village.

At this point, everyone naturally became extremely careful.

At this time, Qian Chuan and his friends discovered one thing, that is, the village was very quiet. The people were poor and even had to save kerosene and turn off the lights early. This was normal, but he didn't even hear a dog barking or a goose barking!
The courier led them to a house where someone was already waiting at the door. Everyone went in one after another and finally rested in a room of the house.

The room was quite large, and the floor was covered with hay.

Everyone went to bed, drank water and ate in the dark, and the traffic officer also specifically told everyone where they could relieve themselves in the yard.

Everything was so silent and orderly.

At this time, Qian Chuan'er had the opportunity to whisper a few words to the traffic officer. After asking, he finally understood why the village was so quiet.

That doesn't mean that all the people in this village were killed by the Japanese devils, but in order to facilitate the operations of the Eighth Route Army, the local people had already disposed of their own dogs, geese and other poultry and livestock that could give warnings!

Anyone who has lived in the countryside knows that if there is any noise in the village, no matter whether it is day or night, the dogs will bark, but if someone enters your house, the geese in your house will also cack.

Please note that here each family disposed of its own geese and dogs, rather than disposing of each other's geese and dogs.

What does this show? It shows that this treatment was a conscious act of the people, and that the people of the entire village supported the Eighth Route Army. They protected the safety of the Eighth Route Army as if they were protecting their own children. After all, the people's soldiers were not born in vain!

Nothing happened that night, and they started marching again the next day.

When it was noon and they saw villages and towns in the distance ahead, the Eighth Route Army liaison officer stopped the team.

"The town ahead is called Fulai Town, and there is a Japanese puppet army artillery tower inside." The traffic officer introduced, "But this is the only way to go, so we can only go there at night."

Of course Li Shan didn't say anything, so he looked at Qian Chuaner, the captain of the special operations team.

"Everything will be arranged by the Eighth Route Army comrades." Qian Chuan'er answered straightforwardly.

So the courier led everyone into a forest.

When you get here, no matter whether you run fast or slow, you will naturally feel thirsty, hungry, and tired.

So, those who needed water did so, and those who needed to eat ate. It was impossible to make a fire, so they just ate the sweet potato noodles, cakes and other things they carried with them.

"After passing Fulai Town, how far is it to the county town?" Qian Chuaner asked while eating.

"It's still six miles." The courier replied.

"How many Japanese devils are there in the town? Who is the highest-ranking official? You should know this, right?" Qian Chuaner asked casually.

"The highest-ranking officer among the Japanese devils is a small team leader, but he only brought more than 20 Japanese devils and more than 20 puppet soldiers." The courier replied.

"Is this the only way to the county town? If so, we must pass by here when we come back, right? Are your carriages ready? In this weather, people are dying. You understand without me saying it." Qian Chuaner said.

"The carriage carrying the body is ready, but you have to be careful when passing through the town." The courier replied.

Qian Chuan'er didn't say anything else, but seemed to be thinking about something. But just when the traffic officer was about to leave, Qian Chuan'er suddenly said, "How about I go with you to investigate in the town?"
