Soldiers do not like rain because they are difficult to march.

The plains without rain for half a year, when the sun was exposed, the earth cracked, the trees died, the ponds dried up, the rivers broke down, and it was difficult for people and animals to drink water.

What’s more serious is that locust plagues occurred in the plains, and low-lying river valleys only have grain production areas, and large-scale production reductions!

The people are afraid of natural disasters, and even more afraid of man-made disasters!

The Japanese swept the raids from the beginning of the year until summer, and implemented a solid wall and cleared the fields at the foot of the Thousand Mile Mountains, forcing people to repair artillery towers and dig blockade trenches everywhere, so that there were many artillery towers in the plains, and the blockade trenches were high and deep.

Everything is to prevent the development of the Eighth Route Army, prevent materials outside the mountain from entering the mountainous areas, implement the three-light policy, and make the foot of the mountain almost uninhabited.

Through various methods, the Eighth Route Army Command in Shanli was infiltrated and then carried out a key rush. On the surface, the Taihang Mountains were almost successfully separated into an isolated land, and the Eighth Route Army ushered in the most difficult years.

A small village is quietly located under the stars before dawn. There is no sound in the village, and it is faintly dark.

Two vigilant figures, one in front and one behind, gradually penetrated out of the darkness in the south, and walked steadily on the hillside. Not far ahead, the path turned to the two bushes.

The black shadow continued to move forward, the muzzle of the rifle pointed to the ground, and the pace was clattering in a hurry and rhythmic manner.

Suddenly, a low shout came from the bushes: "Stop, raise your hand!"

The night walker was shocked, stopped his pace, and stiffened his body in place!

After a while, two figures oozed out from the darkness of the edge of the bush forest, one carrying a mullet and the other holding a rifle, slowly approaching the dark shadow.

"Stand and don't move, grandpa's bullet doesn't recognize anyone!" The voice of a middle-aged man was obviously.

After saying that, holding a short gun, he stood five or six meters away to guard the figure holding a long gun, and stopped by the night walker. With the faint starlight, he pulled off the rifles on the two of them and the cross-body mullet gun.

After being shot, Ma Liang frowned and didn't say anything: According to Chen Chong's return, the other party should be his own. It is not worthwhile to be shot in black under the darkness and did not resist.

The current location is the periphery of their defense zone, and there should be more than one post. It is not wrong for them to stay vigilant.

Ma Liang quickly rushed to the black shadow to indicate his identity and explained the situation: "We are here to find Chen Chong!"

"Chen Chong? Are you from the Independent Group?" The middle-aged man's voice sounded. After a while, he turned to the person next to him and said, "You go to the command center to report! Ask that Chen Chong to come over and confirm!"

When the man holding the spear heard this, he put the confiscated bundle of guns in front of the middle-aged man, ran towards the village, preparing to report the situation.

After a short while, another team of black shadows followed behind Ma Liang, and Captain Liu from the district team led people to follow him!

Although there were many people, they were still confiscated by middle-aged people.

However, after Ma Liang persuaded them, they temporarily put down their weapons. Otherwise, the middle-aged man, a sentry, would not be the opponent of more than a dozen people! One person drowned him even if he spits!

At this time, the sentry rushed back from the village, looking at a large group of prisoners in confusion, admiring the middle-aged man who was standing guard: "That... Chen Chong is on the north and wants to come again after dawn!"

"No hurry, it won't take long before dawn. Isn't the sky white?" said the middle-aged man proudly.

"That, we are from the district team. My surname is Liu. Can you say a few words?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Captain Liu hurried forward, not knowing what he said to the middle-aged man, but was immediately led by the sentry who had just returned and headed to the village again!

"You guy is good! But it's not a good habit to put down your guns at any time!" After Captain Liu and the sentry left, the middle-aged man educated Ma Liang who was squatting.

Ma Liang was squatting on the ground, his feet were a little numb, and in the dark, he was carrying a middle-aged man on his back, stretched out his hand to take out the oar on his calves and inserted it into his lower back, without answering, thinking to himself, even though he knew you were your own person, could I still do it?

When the sky was getting whiter in the east, Hu Yi and his men walked to the woods again. While walking, they were also talking about the situation of the battle on the plains with a young man in the district team. Behind him, the little girl was sleeping soundly on the stretcher.

"After passing this bush forest, not far ahead is the village Captain Liu mentioned. Why don't we take a break?" The young man was excited and Hu Yi replenished them with bullets, thanking him from the bottom of his heart.

"No, try to avoid marching in unfamiliar places during the day! You must enter the village before dawn!" Hu Yi flatly refused.

Because of the district team familiar with the terrain, the escort mission of the Ninth Company has been completed ahead of schedule.

Because the district team knew the nearby terrain well, Hu Yi got more information.

Most of the Japanese guarding the roads at the mountain pass have been evacuated, leaving only the artillery towers entering the road and the security forces guarding them, but they cannot stop the district teams familiar with the terrain.

The only uncertain thing is the time when the Japanese evacuated in the mountains. However, the brigade of Japanese gangs entering the mountains cannot take a small path, and the possibility of encounter is not high. Therefore, in the early morning, the district team arranged some people to replace the Ninth Company, escort the team into the mountain, and took a small path.

The district team has other tasks to go out, and Captain Liu did not lead the team to escort him personally.

A warrior who was familiar with the plains was also arranged to tell Hu Yi about the situation on the plains.

Before Hu Yi went to the battlefield in Songhu, he had fought with the Japanese many times, but he didn't expect that after walking around, he returned to this place!

I have been retreating before, but now I have become a guerrilla!

Outside the bushes, the team once again came into contact with the periphery of the rotation team!

The middle-aged sentry was not simple. He asked the district team very well, but he didn't get anything to Ma Liang who was squatting on the side! Except for knowing that the two were independent groups.

Captain Liu's group of soldiers were sleeping in the woods, snoring sounds shook the sky.

The east began to turn red, and a line of sun emerged.

Looking at the dark team led by Hu Yi, the middle-aged sentry was not nervous. Instead, he led the two Eighth Route Army sentry who had just been recruited and blocked Hu Yi in the bushes covered with the morning glow.

Seeing Ma Liang empty-handed, he became the opponent's sentinel, Hu Yi was in a black line.

"Brother, are you here too?" Ma Liang asked with a sad face.

"Where is Captain Liu?" Hu Yi asked Ma Liang with a dark face.

"I've entered the village with them!" Ma Liang quickly answered.

"Have you found Chen Chong?"

"He was on the north side and said he would not come after dawn?"

"Hey hey hey, do you two think I don't exist? Don't say you are also a district team, right?" The middle-aged man saw that Ma Liang and Hu Yi knew each other, but the title was not a position, which meant that he didn't look like a regular army. However, the captain of the district team said a few things about the rotation training team, which showed that the people sent from the division to convey the orders, and they were all together, so of course he was relieved, so he stared at Hu Yi without caring about it.

My eyes lit up. What a good guy, this soldier looks good, but he even brought three guns! Such soldiers are rare in the Eighth Route Army.

"Hey, boy, you have three people installed on your own. What do you mean?"

"It's boring!" Hu Yi's face was calm. Unexpectedly, this escort mission actually collided with the training team.
Chapter completed!
