The east has slowly turned white, and the clouds in the sky have not dispersed. There is a feeling called loneliness in the cloudy days. In the loneliness of the cloudy days, there will always be people looking up at the sky infatuatedly, the leaden sky full of lonely clouds.

.

Drowsily, in a daze, I struggled like this for two hours until dawn, and slept like this all morning. I blinked my eyes, opened them, and looked at the gray and gloomy village through my narrow eyes.

He shook his head and waved his hands.

At about four o'clock in the morning, the frustrated Lao Qin led Chen Chong's platoon and the puppet troops. The soldiers of the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade held the horses, and a platoon of soldiers from the second company carried the wounded soldiers. They headed north into the bushes and turned to the direction of West Lushuipu.

.

Ma Liang led a platoon of the Ninth Company to the north. He still remembered that he met the smoke instructor of the Third Company for the first time and picked up Dr. Zhou. This was not an intersection. More than 20 people were heading west into the bushes.

After processing the footprints, Lao Qin and his party slowly followed the panicked people and headed north.

Behind Ma Liang there was another platoon from the second company.

Hu Yi squatted in a bomb-proof hole dug in the ground beside a low wall. A lot of firewood was stuffed into the hole. He leaned on the firewood in the pit, his face still as dull as ever.

Awakening from the dream, a gust of cold wind blew by. The body movements before dawn finally brought some consciousness to his head, and a thought came to his mind: he was the one who harmed Su Qing.

But if he is not alive, even the last glimmer of hope will disappear. Perhaps, only he can clear Su Qing's injustice.

The lingering security forces, these dog-like guys are all cowards, have surrounded the village and fired sporadically, obviously to prevent the people in the village from sleeping.

Hu Yi suddenly thought of Li Youcai, a traitor who could be bullied by anyone, but he lived well. Maybe his life was not good.

In the low-walled house behind Hu Yi, a bear covered in mud was snoring, wrapped in a marching blanket.

The bear originally wanted to follow Lao Qin, but Xiao Hongying stopped him with one sentence: Follow Lao Qin, do you think he is reliable?

Xiao Hongying, who had already left, sneaked back halfway, using the excuse that without her, the Ninth Company was in disarray, without even a decent machine gunner, except of course Hu Yi.

In the corner next to him, Tang Dagou, who also heard Xiao Hongying's words, insisted on staying to block the attack. In order to win, Dagou must cover his comrades and leave first. At this time, he was tired in the corner, holding hands tightly.

The four rings of his horse shone with metallic blue light in his arms.

Xu Xiao and Wu Shitou were on the other side, sleeping soundly.

The petite girl with great influence was arranging the ponytail on her head. She was sitting in the side room a few meters away, squinting her big eyes and looking at the pale and dark sky through the window.

There were still gunshots outside the village, and the ponytail finally tilted up to the sky. On the dirty clothes, the mud had hardened. The petite hands unconsciously rubbed them one by one, turning into powder, one after another.

.

There was another gunshot, and the bear suddenly opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes, smacked his lips, looked around, and kicked the big dog sleeping at the foot of the wall: "What do you smell?"

Tang Dagou suddenly woke up, sat up, suddenly pulled the bolt of the rifle in his arms, and pointed the muzzle at the door. When he realized that nothing happened, he yawned and then softened again: "I didn't smell it... it has nothing to do with me.

."

"I just want to leave. That wicked and smoky guy deceived me. Grandma, I fell into the trap! Do you understand? You crazy person... you mixed it up and acted like a grandma, so I was fooled!"

"Damn it - are you done yet? You fell into a stupid trick and went with Lao Qin? Aren't you trembling? You still have time to run away now, get out."

"Don't you smell the roasted chicken?"

Tang Dagou turned over, sniffed, and turned its head around: "Really?"

Xiao Hongying was in the back room. When she heard the noise outside, she didn't look at it. She just pulled a piece of soil from the wall and threw it out through the open doorway, hitting the bear's head.

The two figures quickly stood up, rushed out, and quickly disappeared into the darkness before dawn.

In another room next to it, more than 20 people were crowded together, and their feet smelled bad. No wonder Kaba Xiong would rather stay outside than go in.

Xiao Hongying clapped her mouth, slowly walked to the entrance of the cave, squatted down, and looked at the sleep in the cave: "Fox, are you really sleeping in the cave? Haha, how is the situation? I heard some movement from the security forces."

"Why do you want to come back?" He closed his eyes.

"Old Qin said I was in the way..."

"You shouldn't have come back..."

"Vixen should be fine." Xiao Hongying felt a little lonely.

"What?"

"I know that when organizing a review, there must be evidence. If there is no physical evidence, there must be witnesses. Someone must be causing trouble in this matter!"

Hu Yi did not go around the corner: "You are saying that someone reported it, but that is not right. There is no evidence, and the report is a false accusation!"

"Look, haha, you and Vixen also captured Japanese prisoners and made meritorious service, right? You have no experience of being captured by the enemy. There is no evidence, and it is impossible to review it for such a long time."

"Caught?"

Hu Yi's heart skipped a beat, the hoeing team!

His mind suddenly became clear. The only time Su Qing was arrested was in Meixian County, but does that count? Does it matter? Does it matter?

One large and one small, it seemed as if they could not hear the sporadic gunshots around the village at all. There was a huge contrast with the soldiers of the Second Company who were still busy in the temporarily dug trenches nearby. The same piece of land seemed to have become two worlds.

.

In the eyes of the Second Company soldiers, the Ninth Company soldiers will always be like mud, unable to hold up the wall. This time, they even entered the houses of ordinary people.

…

The village in front is not big, called Dongxiaocun. The main road passes through the north of the village, and there is a small road to the north. After the Eighth Route Army passed through the road from Meixian County to Xinglong Town, they continued to walk through the wasteland, and the security forces kept biting their tail.

Later, he went on the highway again and blocked the attack.

Like all villages, the terrain where the village is located is slightly higher than the surrounding areas. Otherwise, if it rains heavily, the whole village will be flooded.

The height difference in the village is not big, it is only a little higher than the surrounding land by one or two people, so the terrain advantage is almost unlimited.

It has been determined that the Eighth Route Army has entered the village. There are trees and bushes around the village. The Eighth Route Army has an advantage in the terrain and is now building a position.

Captain Maeda was very satisfied. Analysis of the news from the security forces and Meixian County showed that the opponent might only have about 200 people. They had been chased for most of the night, so they should be very tired.

This group of eight soldiers were chased by cavalry a few days ago and were frightened. There were also wounded among them.

Maeda did a good job in intelligence work and knew the Eighth Route Army very well. Naturally, he dismissed those who said that the Eighth Route Army could go to heaven and earth. The Eighth Route Army was also a human being and was not made of iron.

On the Li Youde defense line in the west, no news was reported that the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army had been found. An hour ago, the Eighth Route Army had entered the westward highway and began to block the attack. This only proved that they could not run anymore and had to huddle in the village ahead.

After chasing them all night, the Xinglong Town security army and the Meixian security army had successfully surrounded the Eighth Route Army in the village. They were equally exhausted, but a platoon ran northward, and a company of security troops was pursuing them.

Everything looks perfect.
