Chapter 339 How to Retreat
In the evening, the afterglow of the sun made a few squeaking figures grow.
Twelve people on six bicycles were running around on the bumpy road.
After dealing with three traitors at noon, Park Buhuan came up with an idea. Since the traitors can ambush us, can't we beg the traitors?
So eight fake traitors stayed in the village and had the idea of being a traitor on the road, because there were quite a few traitors who took this road to the Xu family.
There are not many traitors passing by, and there are too many people who have drawn up traitors, and there are ordinary people passing by nearby, so it is difficult to start.
After waiting for more than an hour, I finally waited for three traitors riding bicycles, borrowed the traitors by simply and roughly, and finally got together six bicycles.
So, on a hot afternoon, three more traitors were buried in the pit dug out of the village.
In the eyes of passers-by, it was like three traitors entering the village to find people. After more than ten minutes, three more people got on the bicycle and left the village and set off on the road again.
Not long after, another group of people emerged in the village, but unfortunately no one saw it.
Hu Yi brought a girl behind the car, Park Buhuan was sitting in the back seat, and Lao Zhou brought Erniu behind the car.
Tang Dagou was sitting behind Xu Xiao, Li Xiang took Wu Nansheng, and Ma Liang's carriage that he had joined, and he brought his soldier.
Until the sun sets, the group finally circles around Xujiazhuang for half a circle.
The team of traitors, who were all like tuberculosis, was wilted by the scorching sun in the afternoon. After almost one afternoon riding, there was one on the back seat of each bicycle. Hu Yi was a little overwhelmed.
Several generals from the Ninth Company can ride bicycles. Such high-speed maneuverability makes a group of local buns full of confidence. When they first rode, they even had the confidence to hit the county town.
Unexpectedly, after only one afternoon, after riding in rotation for dozens of miles, my confidence was gone. Hu Yi's group was even more so, and the girl could ride it. She tried it alone and almost fell into a ditch, not to mention that she had someone behind the car.
The most shocking thing was Lao Zhou. He had seen many troops in the mountains. Most of the troops who came out before had never seen any world except for poor equipment.
I never thought that the legendary poor Ding Dangxiang's independent group sent out this time was so powerful. Not only did everyone know how to ride bicycles, but I also heard that they could swim. It is said that the murderer in front was not blinking, and the one named Pu could drive a car!
On the road, I met several reconnaissance teams who were riding faster than they went, security teams walking under the scorching sun, and puppet troops. The former despises them and the latter envies them.
Except for being a little curious about the girl sitting behind one of the traitors, no one felt any doubt.
No one believes that the Eighth Route Army, whose old nest was brought to the house, dares to come out to move in broad daylight! Unless the sun comes out from the west.
"We have to find a place to rest first." Lao Zhou looked at the two or three miles away and went to the south gate of Xujiazhuang again. After kicking for a few times, he rushed to Hu Yi in front of the team, and whispered in a low voice.
"Go to the village in the south to rest." Hu Yi decided after looking around.
Along the way, the team would occasionally stop, no one passed by nearby, so they took out the map to mark it.
A team of black dogs entered the village, and the people quickly closed the door quickly, causing chaos.
This group of traitors may have just been tired and took a rest, so the people were relieved.
Those traitors riding bicycles were all as tired as dogs. They seemed to have rushed to the Xu family to celebrate their birthdays a long way, but why did you go to Xujiazhuang, which is so close to you, but you ran to our village for what?
The people looked through the cracks in the door.
Seven or eight traitors sat down by the grain farm outside the village, and a few ran to the corner of nearby houses to release water.
Lao Zhou felt that the slab under his butt was too hot, so he quickly pulled some wheat straw mats from the side and stuffed a few around him.
People who took the bus were not much better, they were equally tired, and their bones were almost shaking loose.
Lao Zhou endured his fatigue and pulled open the black traitor bag, and asked Erniu to throw a cake to each of the people who were pulling the kettle to drink water.
"Damn it, we'll eat it now, it's too wasteful? We should keep our stomachs and go to the Xu family..." Tang Dagou rolled the cake into a tube shape and bit off half of it in one bite.
"You have to pad first and restore some strength, otherwise you will have the strength to ride to Xujiazhuang later?" Old Zhou bit the cake in small mouth, ate it very carefully, and picked up all the residue that fell on his clothes and threw it into his mouth.
Park Buhuan next to him smiled: "The more you say this, why do I feel the hunger I feel?"
Old Zhou glared at him fiercely: This guy is a murderous demon without blinking, and all the six traitors were his own move.
Hu Yi finished marking the map, stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth, pulled the kettle handed over by the girl and drank it all in one gulp, and handed the kettle to Erniu: "Let's talk about the situation first."
Erniu and Monkey carried a kettle and walked towards the village, preparing to find a decent commoner's home to get boiled water. Su Qing asked Jiulian to develop the habit of not drinking raw water.
Lao Zhou pinched the traitor's hat in his hand and slapped the hot air, frowned, and looked serious: "There are six villages around Xujiazhuang, which are about the same distance, all three miles away. In the afternoon, we circled around for most of the afternoon, and everyone saw it... The influence of the Xu family in this place is deeply rooted, so we can basically not do our work."
"It's basically impossible? There's still a meaning, right?" Park Buhuan keenly grabbed the details of Lao Zhou's speech.
Lao Zhou ignored him: "We have an insider inside Xujiazhuang, but he is just a long-term worker. He can only convey some unimportant news to us. It's not possible during the day, so he can only wait after dark."
Hu Yi thought for a moment: "We are going to Xujiazhuang, which is indeed a bit of a risk. In fact, the best time should be to go tomorrow!"
"Didn't it mean that his family has opened a mat? We have to give this old traitor a face, right?" The girl was displeased.
"We have too many people, too conspicuous. If we don't know a single person as soon as we enter the village, we will easily be suspected."
"That's not simple. We just divide it into several pieces and pretend that we don't know each other and go to the farm one after another." The girl was naturally very concerned about the food, although she was not as good as Luo Fugui.
"This method is OK. To get rid of the traitor Xu Jinsen, you can only enter the village. If he is in the plains, even if he comes out in broad daylight, there will be no fewer people. We cannot ambush like this afternoon." Lao Zhou felt that it would be difficult to complete the task of eliminating the traitor.
"We will get familiar with the terrain in the first village, so we won't have this opportunity in the future. We will sneak in tonight to find out the news, wait for dawn, and find a place to wait until it gets dark and creates chaos and takes action." Hu Yi decided decisively.
"Xujiazhuang is different from ordinary villages. The entire village has been built into a high-walled courtyard. A trench was dug outside the courtyard wall and became a small stronghold independently. There is a telephone in the village. If you attack for a strong force, there is basically no chance, and it is very difficult to fight." Old Zhou thought for a while.
"Telephone? Isn't it just like cutting the phone cable?" Park Buhuan felt that this was not a problem.
"It's not that simple. There is a gun tower more than a mile east of the village. There are a squad of Japanese soldiers and dozens of security regiments. This is the military deployment I found in the past. Once the gun is fired, you will definitely hear it in the gun tower, let alone there are too many traitors in the village." Old Zhou felt unconfident.
"With such a big battle in the Xu family, people outside will definitely come back to celebrate their birthdays. I think it's no harm to have too many traitors." Ma Liang said for the first time and thought for a while: "It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the troubled waters. Anyway, there are only a few torches to light up the lights. So many traitors will definitely not know each other."
Hu Yi thought for a while and the situation was indeed a bit tricky. When he used to kill the Zhao family alone, there were not many people in the Zhao family, and there were similarities. Now there are thousands of traitors in the Xu family's garrison, which is not the same thing at all.
Park Buhuan frowned: "We are all thinking that there are many traitors, but I have an idea. This action is best to wait until the Xu family's birthday before taking action. Think about it, those traitors may have stayed in the Xu family all the time, right? As soon as they leave, wouldn't it save much trouble? Our goal is Xu Jinsen. According to common sense, he should drink on his father's birthday, so he will definitely not leave that night. We just need to wait until dawn after tomorrow."
"The idea is good. The fucking question is that we are all strangers, so how can we find an excuse to stay in the Xu family and not leave?" Tang Dagou was not optimistic about Park Buhuan's suggestions.
"That's right, this is impossible. We are not familiar with the Xu family at all. We can still get along with the crowd. If most of the traitors leave, we are all unfamiliar faces, which are too conspicuous and can be recognized." Lao Zhou thought about it and felt that the risk was too great.
Hu Yi thought for a while and said, "In this situation, Lao Zhou, you can't enter the village. There is a portrait of you on the Investigation Team, and it is possible that someone will be recognized."
Hu Yi finished speaking, and the scene around him became quiet and no one said anything.
Hu Yi turned to look at Ma Liang: "When do you think Gao Yidao will arrive?"
"I arranged someone to inform you yesterday. They couldn't act during the day, and I guess they would have to be the morning after tomorrow."
"Where are Platoon Commander Wang and others?"
"He took a class and took the opportunity to deliver food to the county town. He probably would come back tomorrow during the day. If they come here, they can arrive at our base tomorrow morning."
"That's fine if Gao Yidao comes, Platoon Commander Wang and his team can almost catch up with it."
Hu Yi looked at the map again, and after a while, he looked up suddenly: "Lao Zhou, see when will the inside line come out?"
"At least, wait until dark." Old Zhou said immediately.
Hu Yi lifted his pen again and drew a picture of the village alone on a piece of paper. The surrounding villages were marked very clearly, but there was a large blank space in the middle.
Lao Zhou looked at the map a little embarrassed: "We really can't get the map inside the village. The main reason is that our insider is illiterate and we have not prepared in the early stage."
"It doesn't matter. We will go in tonight and find a way to stay in the house for one night. In fact, it is not difficult to fight this farm. The difficult thing is the problem of retreating after fighting." Hu Yi had the final say in the military, and he did not want to do something he was not sure about.
"According to the information you provided by Lao Zhou, there are usually more than 100 people in Xujiazhuang. So let's assume that there should be the most traitors on the birthday party, and some of them will leave tomorrow night, so it is relatively easier to fight at night."
"But even so, some of them will be left behind, plus the people in the Japanese artillery tower, at least two companies." Ma Liang analyzed.
"Well, I'm really not an expert in fighting. I'll arrange for someone to do the destruction of the phone line yesterday." Lao Zhou said embarrassedly.
"Forget it, the people you are talking about are not reliable. We can just do the matter of cutting a few wires." Hu Yi rejected Lao Zhou's proposal.
Lao Zhou thought about it, pinched his rough chin with his hands, and said to Hu Yi: "In fact, our goal is mainly Xu Jinsen. Whether we can even kill him is not the most important thing. Our real purpose is to let the traitors know that our Eighth Route Army is still on this land, so that they can think about the consequences when they act. The Japanese have no such minions as traitors, and on this vast land, we have the final say in the countryside."
"Then, there is only one problem now. After the battle begins, the nearby Japanese and traitors will reinforce. There is not much time. Now we need to consider how to retreat."
