"Meng Youtian, Xiao Meng, Brother Meng." Several people rushed to the low mountain, with men and women, and their names were different, but they could still vaguely identify the voices of acquaintances.

"I'm here." Meng Youtian suddenly became timid at this moment. The battle continued and the bullets were still roaring in the air. He didn't want to die at this moment of victory, so he hugged and came to a big rock and responded.

"Xiao Meng, you're doing a good job!" Gu Qingshan strode over and grabbed Meng Youtian's hand, making him feel painful.

"Brother Gu!" Meng Youtian recognized the person and said hurriedly: "Secretary Gu, now is not a polite time. You have to hurry up and transfer the time and organize troops to block the enemy here."

"Don't worry, I have asked the cadres to work separately. None of the things you said have fallen." Gu Qingshan looked at Meng Youtian carefully. He was wearing the clothes of the puppet army. He was either "aggressives" or "puppet army" around him, which was very strange.

"What are you doing standing stupidly? Squat down quickly and be careful of bullets." Meng Youtian glared at Qin Lianfang and pointed at Xiao Tao again, "And you."

"You're so timid now?" Qin Lianfang was not angry, and obediently pulled Xiaotao and squatted down, saying, "Let's talk, where should we move to? Is it Yingchoujian or Shipangu?"

"Go to Qingtuo Mountain first." Meng Youtian gave a puzzling answer, and then explained solemnly: "It's almost dark and it's snowing again. The enemy won't pursue it too much. We need to rectify it before we can go to the real destination. Because you have spies here, I saw someone sending signal flares to the Japanese."

Gu Qingshan pondered for a moment and told the cadres next to him to go down the mountain to make arrangements. It seemed that he was also suspicious. It was just that the situation was so tense that he didn't have time to deal with it and had no time to deal with it.

"The army has been organized at the foot of the mountain. Xiao Meng, you should take your troops to transfer first!" Gu Qingshan looked around again and said, "It is easy for you to cause misunderstandings when wearing this outfit."

Meng Youtian nodded and explained a few words to Guo Longhai. He took the lead in taking off his puppet military uniform and said, "Wait a minute, and wait until the troops blocking the enemy at Dongshankou retreat to retreat!"

"Okay, then I will order the troops at the foot of the mountain to come up. Xiao Qin, you can organize some more people to help them get things and carry the wounded." Gu Qingshan became weaker as he heard the gunshots on the opposite side. Knowing that the battle was about to end, he looked at the soldiers who were changing clothes while stripping off the Japanese clothes. His eyes lit up and turned around and walked down.

"Brother Meng, you--" Qin Lianfang looked at Meng Youtian deeply. He nodded and turned around and left.

"How about the casualties?" Meng Youtian watched Gu Qingshan and others walk away, turned to ask Guo Longhai.

"It must be more than half!" Guo Longhai sighed and said in a low voice: "But it is worth it. Isn't it?"

Meng Youtian lowered his eyelids and said nothing. After a while, he slowly stood up. He stared at the valley where many corpses were stained with blood. A fire lit up in Dongshankou. Seeing that the people in the valley had been evacuated, the blocking troops with heavy casualties lit the dead trees and grass blocking the mountain pass, blocking the enemy's footsteps with flames, and they began to retreat.

The sky was even more gloomy, and the wind was sweeping with snowflakes, as if it was to bury this tragic battlefield. One by one, fell on the corpses of the martyrs and innocent people. The flames at the pass seemed to reflect the wet blood on the ground even more red.

……………………

The snowflakes floated over the sky, the mountains and fields were all white, and the peaks in the distance turned gray in the smoke of snow. No matter how far they were, they dissolved into the hazy space.

At the darkest hour after midnight, the people who escaped from the sky stopped their tired and heavy feet and temporarily rested at the foot of Qingtuo Mountain.

The losses were heavy, and most of the casualties were soldiers and cadres in the organs; the transfer was very frightened, and there was no time to clean up the bodies of the victims. Being able to escape from the dead is undoubtedly a victory. Although this victory cannot be celebrated, greater difficulties followed one after another, weighing heavily on people's hearts.

"You two, have something to eat!" Meng Youtian handed the lunch box to Zhao Zhenhua and Li Tie, and said with a wry smile: "I secretly kept the canned Japanese food."

"It's not good, the crowd--" Zhao Zhenhua was wrapped in bandages on his head and arms, and patches of blood were seeping out of the bandage.

"Eat!" Li Tie moved his body in difficulty, grinned in pain, and said, "You don't understand Xiao Meng's temper. If you don't eat, he will call you hypocritical and artificial. Do you still want to be friends with him? If you want to do it, just listen to him. This guy is playing tricks and won't even meet you in the future."

"Hehe." Zhao Zhenhua laughed dryly and said, "This is true. I heard that the district wants to criticize and educate him, so he lost all his shadow. The cat doesn't come out of the village and doesn't care about anything. He hides in his spare time."

"I'm saying that I'm thinking about my mistakes behind closed doors." Meng Youtian rolled his eyes and said, "Eat quickly, so that he can occupy your mouth. I haven't seen you for so long, and I'll tease me if I see you, and I won't answer you in the future."

Li Tie and Zhao Zhenhua looked at each other, smiled helplessly, picked up the spoon, and started eating one bite by one.

"After this--" Zhao Zhenhua suddenly put down his spoon, looked at the snowflakes in a little sadly, and said, "I don't think the Japanese will fight. I'm cold and hungry, and I'll torture us all to death."

"It is because of the food that someone opposes the transfer and is surrounded by the Japanese." Li Tie sighed and said, "I am still careless. I guess the severity of the enemy's major sweep is insufficient!"

"Some people are responsible for this loss." Zhao Zhenhua said with some resentment: "The long-term argument is reasonable and well-founded, but it is bullshit. Judging from his appearance, ordinary people are five or six, but in the end, he buried his gun secretly, a coward."

Li Tie lowered his eyelids and said in a low voice: "The fire is quenching true gold, this is true! And we failed to find that the spy that was infiltrated was the biggest mistake. If Xishankou was not attacked and occupied by the enemy, the enemy's siege would fail."

"We can only act with confidence and boldness after finding the spies first." Meng Youtian said in agreement: "There are difficulties, but they are not insurmountable. Just talk about this snow. I think there are good and bad, but there are more good aspects than bad aspects. In this way, it prevents the enemy from continuing to go deeper, and also encounters difficulties. I estimate that the restrictions on transportation supplies will cause the enemy to retreat soon. Of course, we are also facing difficulties in survival, but this is not impossible to solve."

"I know you always have an idea." Zhao Zhenhua rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "But why don't you go to the meeting?"

…………………

"They are all party members and all big cadres. Why should I join in the fun?" Meng Youtian took out his small pipe, smoked slowly, and said lightly in the smoke: "I went there happily, and some people would say that I was proud of myself. If I happened to save everyone, I didn't know who I was."

"Don't always have such thoughts." Li Tie knew Meng Youtian's personality and didn't want to say anything more, so he changed the subject, "By the way, you and Xiaoquan muttered, and he sent some people away. What did he do?"

"Oh!" Meng Youtian nodded and said, "I asked him to send a few people to send a signal to the Japanese. It's dark and the snow is thick. Don't let the Japanese mess around."

Li Tie blinked his eyes, then smiled, and said, "You guy is bad. Where are you going to play with the Japanese again?"

"Over there." Meng Youtian pointed his finger and said, "Let the Japanese move, and this move will not be cold. Well, when I talk about this, it's time for me to get up and move."

"Don't move anymore." Zhao Zhenhua raised his eyebrows. Meng Youtian turned around and saw a few figures strode not far away.

There were several people next to the fire, basically all of whom were known to Meng Youtian, except for an army cadre. After introduction, Meng Youtian learned that the surname Zhang, like Guo Longhai, was also separated during the sweeping raid. He was also a deputy battalion-level cadre, and served as the commander of the temporary troops with Xiao Quan.

"The work of identifying personnel has begun. Whether the spy is still here or not, we must carefully review it. Our work is too negligent and the lesson is too profound." Gu Qingshan first made self-criticism in pain, and then explained the general content of the meeting before talking about the main problem. "It is estimated that this heavy snow will cause the enemy to retreat soon, but we are still facing huge difficulties - food and accommodation issues. There are so many people and so many wounded and sick, it is not easy to place it!"

Of course it was not easy. Meng Youtian didn't say anything, pretending to be listening and thinking very seriously.

"I heard from Comrade Guo Longhai that there are hundreds of cadres and masses who have also hid in the mountains. What about their food and accommodation?" Gu Qingshan looked at Meng Youtian and asked, "Xiao Meng, how did you resettle them?"

Meng Youtian scratched his head and said, "Our village has hidden some food and supplies in the deep mountains. Everyone saves a little, and then get some wild animals. It will take ten and a half months to get together!"

More than 500 people have been added, and it can last ten or a half months. This is not a little hidden! Gu Qingshan and Qin Lianfang exchanged gazes, and Qin Lianfang pursed his lips helplessly and said, "Brother Meng, can you support some food from your village? There is really no way for more than 1,000 people. When the enemy retreats, I will return it to you, okay?"
