Hearing the sound of motorcycles, the security forces guarding the backwater bend immediately relaxed their vigilance.

Since the imperial army arrived, it was normal to shoot twice in the village to the south...

If we don't shoot randomly...how can we still call it the Imperial Army?

Nearly thirty people who were having dinner formed a group of security forces. They all surrendered and became prisoners before they had time to resist!

Hao Yun held the 38-inch bayonet in his hand against the chest of the platoon leader: "...Is there anyone else outside?"

The platoon leader who was kneeling on the ground turned pale, trembled all over, and said with a mournful face: "Sir, please forgive me, sir, please tell me... I swear to God... I definitely did not participate in the last encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Shao Luosuo, I'm asking if anyone under your command is out there. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll stab you now!"

The platoon leader finally came to his senses and quickly confessed like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube: "There are two more brothers patrolling around the bend of the river..."

The four soldiers waiting nearby immediately got out of the temporary shack set up by the security forces to guard the reservoir, and divided into two groups to search along the shore of the reservoir.

They didn't run far at all, and the two men, who were in a hurry to come back for dinner, were disarmed by the black muzzle of a gun pressed against their chests.

At this time, Li Huanzhang arrived slowly with his talents. Without taking any rest, he immediately rushed towards the steamed rice porridge that the security forces had not finished eating.

Smoke soon rose again from the shack.

Leaving all the people he brought with him to Li Huanzhang, Hao Yun immediately got on his motorcycle and planned to bypass Bali Camp and go to Jiujianfang to contact Jiuying.

...

Jiujianfang Village.

The sentry from the south came to report that the battalion commander and Ma Liang were on their way back, but a large number of security troops were about to arrive at the nine rooms first.

After receiving the news, Li Xiang was a little nervous because there were so many enemies coming!

He hesitated whether to fight or not to fight.

Because until now, he had no idea whether the security forces going south were passing by or had received news that the Eighth Route Army was in Jiujianfang Village.

Besides, the division needs to rescue people, and taking action now may affect tomorrow's rescue operations.

Therefore, he decided to send people to the south to report to the battalion commander first. The people in the village immediately moved all the people and went directly down to the south river embankment to hide!

Soon, the brigade of security forces stopped heading south and turned onto the branch road that leads directly to Jiujianfang Village on the east side of the highway.

The outer posts continued to shrink, and the security forces were getting closer and closer. The leading team was already less than a mile away from the village.

The Ninth Battalion originally did not carry much, so they carried the wounded and drove mule carts to the south river embankment in a hurry.

In less than ten minutes, the village quickly became deserted.

...

When it was dark, not far to the south of An County, a southbound train suddenly stopped.

There was a large pile of floating soil on the railway track. Fortunately, the driver braked in time to avoid hitting it.

The escorting squad of Japanese soldiers immediately became nervous and quickly called for warning. For a long time, they did not hear the sound of gunshots attacking the train.

The train just stopped under the moonlight.

It didn't take long, and the Japanese and puppet patrol team patrolling along the railway quickly ran in front of the train.

The Japanese engineers who accompanied the car jumped down from the carriage and carefully tossed in the pile of soil for a long time. There were no mines in the pile of dirt... and no explosives!

In the end, it was discovered that it was just a false alarm!

The train driver stood at the door of the locomotive and watched several dark figures climb onto the train. Then he turned back to look at the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were busy in front of the car lights.

After being confused for a long time, the Japanese escort team and the patrol team analyzed the cause for a long time and finally got on the bus.

throat...

After the train discharged a large cloud of steam, it slowly started again.

...

The security forces took advantage of the darkness and quickly surrounded Jiujianfang Village.

The security forces did not set fire to the house, but used torches to rummage around the village.

Wu Laosi was in a bad mood. He had known for a long time that the old guy named Geng was connected with the guerrillas. He originally stayed here to be used as a bait, but unexpectedly he actually lured the guerrillas here, thinking he was setting up a fake

I can't do anything about the detective team's evidence?

A security guard excitedly ran to Wu Laosi: "Report to fourth brother...report to the company commander, the stoves in several courtyards in the village are very hot! Those guerrillas must have left not long ago!"

Wu Laosi didn't take it seriously: "Do you know where they ran to?"

"I heard from our brothers... those guys all went east at first, and then some continued east, most of them went south and crossed the river, and some ran north. Do we want to chase them?"

Wu Laosi muttered: "Crossing the river? There's no water in the river! How many people are there?"

The puppet soldiers raised their fingers: "I estimate there are two, three, forty, fifty..."

Wu Laosi had a black line on his head: "Damn it...I asked you how many people there are? Are you here counting two, four, six, seven eight for me...counting ducks for fun?"

"Hehe... they left the village to the east and ran away directly. Anyway... there are quite a few people on each side. The one on the south side is estimated to be fifty!"

Wu Laosi kicked him over: "Then why are you still standing there? Immediately send an order to pursue! There must be ordinary people among those guerrillas, they will definitely not be able to run fast!"

"Then...where should we chase?"

Wu Laosi judged that those guerrillas would run away as soon as they saw him, so there must be not many of them! Since all his men were armed with guns, there would be no problem at all in chasing those guerrillas armed with swords and spears: "I will marry you.

..Let’s chase them wherever there are more people!”

"My mother is your aunt. From what you said..."

"Get out of here, aunt!"

The security soldier who should be Wu Lao's fourth cousin immediately turned around and yelled with a broken gong: "The company commander has given an order, everyone must gather, and everyone should leave the village eastward and pursue southward!"

In his opinion, there is still a problem. Those guerrillas are very good at escaping. The only worry is whether they can catch up!

Since they have ordinary people, I guess they can catch ten or eight this time!

He had no intention of placing any hope on those poor bastards.

After all, if you catch one, you'll get a reward of five yuan!

Although it's not much, if a brother is given five cents, he will definitely be able to get a big share. After becoming the mayor and company commander of the security army, tens of dollars is no longer a big deal to him, but he can get it tomorrow.

It would also be nice to add a few characters to join in the fun at the boss's public shooting meeting.

"Hurry! Chase south!" The security forces who had grabbed everything in the village immediately bit the tail of the "escaping" guerrillas after leaving the village!...

The other side of the dry river.

Hu Yi was half-kneeling by the raised river embankment, as usual, standing firmly in the moonlight in the background.

On the way back, the person Ma Liang captured gave a clear account of the situation of the security forces in Baidaokou Village. In addition, Lao Geng occasionally went to the town to buy and sell things, and also inquired about the mayor and the enemy's news.

There is indeed only one company of security troops on the opposite side!

Sentinels from all directions kept coming back to report the situation, but no trace of enemy activities was found elsewhere. It was obvious that this group of security forces must have got the news that the Nine Battalions were temporarily stationed in Jiujianfang from somewhere and were preparing to carry out a night attack.

Get a bargain!

He didn't have much worry about a company of security troops. It was just a delivery of bullets. He had fought several battles with Japanese bandits earlier. The Ninth Battalion's ammunition was originally insufficient, but this time the security troops came to replenish it...

Next to Hu Yi, Lao Geng lay on the ground and looked across the dry river at the village where he had lived for decades. He said in a serious tone: "...Wu Jinshan, the traitor who was cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, not only killed dozens of people with his own hands.

His former comrades-in-arms, especially our party members, cadres, militiamen, farmers' associations, and backbones of the Women's Rescue Association, used all possible means to harm them!

He was beaten by hanging, poured with cold water, tattooed, picked on hamstrings, driven into nails, and bitten by dogs. Later, he also imitated the little Japs to shoot with machine guns, beheaded, buried alive, planted bombs, and lit sky lanterns..."

Hu Yi frowned and turned his head: "Hua County is such a big place, how come the subdivision can't even find the whereabouts of the traitors?"

Old Geng shook his head: "The people used by the dog traitor are almost all his relatives and friends, most of them are hard-core traitors. The dog traitor is very familiar with the intelligence operations of my underground organization. It is difficult for our people to break in, and they are also beaten by

He fought several ambushes and suffered heavy losses.

There used to be National Army guerrillas in this area, but that dog traitor had a different attitude toward the National Army guerrillas, mainly chasing them away..."

The stretcher carrying the wounded soldiers had already moved towards the south under the moonlight and disappeared into the darkness.

Ma Liang led Li Xiang along the river embankment to Hu Yi. Ma Liang said excitedly: "Brother, we have lured those security troops here!"
