Chapter Nine Leading the Snake out of the Cave 1-4
1
Shanzi led the little dragons and tigers out early in the morning and back late, walked for more than a hundred miles, and inspected three areas.
After on-the-spot deductions and demonstrations, Shanzi finally decided to set up ambush formations on both sides of the Jiacha River and implement the plan to lure the snake out of its cave.
In the blink of an eye, at night, Yumei, accompanied by Xiao Feng, secretly came to Wang Jiaotong's home to teach Jin Ye and Yanni face-to-face instructions, and at the same time made arrangements with Wang Jiaotong on related matters.
When leaving, Jinye asked Yumei when Guanyanzi would let her return to the team.
Yumei said that Zikai has already stated his position and will make a decision based on the situation only after the battle at Jiachahe is over.
In front of everyone, Jin Ye cursed angrily: "You are so evil that you have sores on your head and pus on the soles of your feet. You dare to treat people like monkeys."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the scolding ended, Yumei stood up angrily: "Wang Jinye, Zikai owes you all his life. Not only did he scold him, but he also used a bench to hurt his arm. What exactly do you want him to do?"
Jin Ye never expected that what she worried about would finally happen——
Jian Yanzi seriously told Yumei about the beating. In Jin Ye's view, this completely changed its nature. To put it bluntly, it was a betrayal of Jin Ye.
Thinking of this, Jin Ye became even more angry: "You are so stubborn, you can bring this trivial matter to the political commissar, and dare two people to join forces to run against me."
Yumei sternly retorted: "You don't want to slander others. Zikai is not like other people. He has chicken intestines and a mouse belly, and can't tolerate a drop of water. He has never told anyone about it. Xiao Liu told me."
As soon as he heard Yumei Bisang scolding Sophora japonica, Jinye was so angry that he said, "Jiang Yumei, Jinye will squint his eyes and make you feel distressed. You can cry until you die."
Yumei turned pale with anger: "Jinye, since we are talking about this, Yumei clearly told you that not only does she feel sorry for Zikai, but you also violated military discipline by beating him, do you know?"
Jin Ye's face flushed: "Then you put a wedge in your eyes and tell me slanderous words, and shoot Jin Ye to death. This will remove the thorn in your side and the thorn in your flesh."
Yumei couldn't fight against Jinye's sharp mouth, so she stood up and left angrily.
After returning home and lying on the bed, a mist lingered in Jin Ye's mind.
Jinye thought——
A bench was smashed down, Kuan Yanzi was holding his breath, Yumei felt distressed, and just in time, Kuan Yanzi sent her home. Maybe one day when she returned to the camp, Yumei and Kuan Yanzi had given birth to a child.
Tossing and turning, melancholy and unable to sleep, anxious and deep into the night, everything is still.
I don't know how long it took, but Shanzi appeared in front of Jinye like a ghost. Although the shadow was blurry, the voice was so clear.
Shanzi said: Jinye, let's break up. Yumei and I will get married tomorrow.
After saying this, Shanzi walked straight to Yumei.
In an instant, there was the sound of the suona, the blast of firecrackers, the jade plum blossoms covered in red and green, and Shanzi bowed to worship.
Jin Ye wanted to rush forward, but his legs were tied up and he couldn't move at all. He wanted to scream again, his throat seemed to be pinched by devil's claws, and he couldn't make a sound.
Watching the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber, Shanzi slowly lifted off the red hijab on Yumei's head. Jinye finally rushed over and tried to pull Shanzi, but was kicked hard by Shanzi and fell to the ground.
With a heart-rending scream, Jin Ye sat up in horror. Only the bright tears and sweat were shining and rolling in the darkness.

On the morning of the next day, ten male and female soldiers, carrying backpacks on their shoulders and fully armed, rushed to Heya Village. This was a temporarily established missionary team, with Xiaoru as the captain and Xiaoyan as the deputy captain.
After the missionary team entered the village, under the leadership of the village chief, they settled down in the Wang Ancestral Hall.
After lunch, the missionary team formed a team of two and separately informed the villagers that they would come to the ancestral hall to hold a meeting in the evening.
Xiaoru and Xiaoyan kept company and personally informed the two devils.
According to Yumei's arrangement, Jinye and Yanni were already waiting here.
When he saw the two young and beautiful female warriors, the Second Devil was really surprised. Why did two female eight-robbers suddenly appear for no reason?
"Excuse me, uncle, are you the owner of this place?"
Stepping into the hall, Xiaoru asked the two devils kindly.
The second devil gave up his seat and introduced himself: "My name is Wang Ergui, and I am the head of the household here."
After everyone took their seats, Xiaoru turned her eyes to Jin Ye and Yanni: "Two eldest sisters, where are you from, and who are you, Uncle Wang?"
Jin Ye said: "Uncle Wang is my second uncle."
Yanni said: "We are all good neighbors."
While talking, Cui Xiuxiu brought tea.
Xiaoru then asked: "Uncle Wang, this eldest sister should be your daughter, right?"
The second devil smiled awkwardly: "Don't laugh at me, girl, she is my wife."
Xiaoru and Xiaoyan were stunned and looked at Cui Xiuxiu with doubtful eyes.
Jin Ye continued: "Now she is a daughter-in-law, but she turned out to be a sister-in-law. You should understand this, right?"
Upon hearing Jin Ye's revelation, the two devils scolded: "Damn girl, you don't have much to say, so go ahead."
Unexpectedly, Jin Ye sneered: "Second uncle, since you still know how to be ashamed and ugly, why did you sneak around with my sister-in-law in the first place, which made my second aunt almost hanged."
"you……"
The second devil couldn't bear it anymore and stood up from the Grand Master's chair. Unexpectedly, Jin Ye glared and hit his thigh with a slap.
Everyone familiar with her knows that since the second devil forced his ex-wife away and married his sister-in-law as his second wife, Jin Ye hated his second uncle and often scolded him openly in front of his uncle and aunt.
But because of Jin Ye's strong character, the two devils could only swallow their anger, not to mention Cui Xiuxiu.
Sighing and sitting back on the chair, the second devil turned his gaze to Xiaoru: "May I ask your surnames, two girls, and which army they are from. Do you have anything to do at Uncle Wang's house?"
Xiaoru said: "We are an independent battalion missionary team. My surname is Ru and I am the captain of the missionary team."
Xiaoyan said: "My surname is Yan, and I serve as the deputy captain of the missionary team."
Xiaoru continued: "Starting today, the missionary team will be stationed in Heya Village for half a month. While conducting anti-Japanese propaganda and education to the villagers, it will also mobilize young people of appropriate age to actively join the Eighth Route Army."
After pondering for a long time, the second devil asked: "Captain Ru, I heard that many people in Heya Village have participated in the independent camp, such as Shanzi and Yumei. You should know them, right?"
Xiaoru smiled calmly: "Uncle Wang, you may have heard wrong. I am in charge of military personnel files in the army, and I have never found anyone from Heya Village, so I came to Heya Village for missionary work."
The second devil was dubious, and then asked: "Then where do you live in the independent camp?"
Xiaoyan said: "The location of the independent camp is a secret and cannot be told to anyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Ye suddenly became furious: "Comrade of the Eighth Route Army, can you please stop being so arrogant? You two are as skinny and tender as tofu. Not to mention fighting Japanese devils, toads will scare the living daylights out of you."
Xiaoru turned her eyes and looked at Jin Ye: "Ms. Wang, fighting the Japanese depends on spirit and will. Not long ago, Xiaoyan and I went to the county town and killed eight Japanese soldiers in one breath in a restaurant. If you don't believe me, ask for it yourself."
Having said this, Xiaoru stood up and said: "Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, the missionary team will officially hold a meeting at eight o'clock in the evening. Please be sure to attend. Xiaoyan and I are leaving."
Xiaoyan then stood up and walked out of the door quickly with Xiaoru.

As the sky began to turn pale, the two devils, holding their black mules in hand, quietly opened the courtyard door and entered the street. After a while, they were followed by security team members.
At nearly noon, the second devil rushed to the plainclothes team and appeared in Yan Gaoming's office at the same time as Huang San.
To Yan Gaoming's relief, the plainclothes team finally found out the culprit of the Meishizhai shooting case, which was also a great achievement for Yan Gaoming.
When the time was short, Yan Gaoming left Huang San and the Second Devil alone and walked toward Ando's office alone.
After reporting the enemy's situation, Yan Gaoming asked Ando to immediately send troops to kill the missionary team, but Ando asked Yan Gaoming to return to the team and wait for instructions.
One night later, the cries of sellers came from Heya Village again.
This time Huang San went to Heya Village again and mainly gave Wang Ergui three tasks -
First, verify the true motivation and purpose of the missionary team.
Second, find out whether there are any ambush around, and be careful not to fall into a trap when sending troops.
Third, killing the missionary team is not the ultimate goal. The focus should be to find out where the independent battalion is stationed. Only in this way can all the independent battalions be eliminated.
Huang San finally reminded the second devil——
Ando specifically stated that the location of the independent battalion must be investigated within ten days. If there is no result within ten days, the base camp will dispatch troops according to the first plan. If there are any abnormalities during this period, report to the base camp in time.
After staying one night at the home of the second devil, Huang San returned to the county town the next day.
After three days of open and covert investigations, the two devils came to the conclusion that the missionary team was just the missionary team, and its purpose was to incite the villagers to resist Japan, and there were no ambushes or traps.
As for the location where the Independent Battalion was stationed, the two devils went to the ancestral hall many times to inquire about it under the pretext of delivering food and vegetables. In the end, they failed to steal chickens and lost a handful of rice.
When the first plan failed, the two devils hatched another plan. They held two banquets at home to entertain Xiaoru Xiaoyan and the missionary team respectively. The result was still in vain.

After not seeing any movement from Ando for several days, Shanzi couldn't keep his temper and sent a scout to Heya Village at noon to deliver a message to Xiaoru.
In the afternoon of that day, Xiaoru took advantage of the notice and deliberately revealed to the second devil that she had received a notice from the battalion headquarters in the morning, requiring the missionary team to leave the day after tomorrow and return to the army to accept a new mission.
As soon as they heard that the missionary team had withdrawn from Heya Village, the two devils went to bed early and got up early, and rushed to the plainclothes team at midnight the next day.
After receiving the report that the missionary team had evacuated Heya Village, Ando carefully prepared for the war. At 6:30 in the evening, he called the security group and ordered the selection of two companies of troops to go out with the imperial army.
Half an hour later, Zhu Zihui led the first and second companies of the security regiment and rushed to the Japanese base camp.
According to the established troop dispatch plan, the Japanese army dispatched two squadrons.
Seeing that Ando had dispatched so many troops, Zhu Zihui couldn't help but secretly guess that this operation was not trivial, and it must be the independent group that was really right.
Sure enough, at the briefing before dispatching troops, Shiro Ishikawa announced the intentions and goals of dispatching troops.
At a quarter past seven, the troops set off on time.
Ordinarily, after Zhu Yuankui's death, Zhu Zihui, as the deputy head of the security group, should have been promoted to the top position. However, after Ando received two thousand yuan, he gave this black gauze hat to the brother-in-law of the puppet governor Chu.
But everyone who is familiar with him knows that Governor Chu's brother-in-law, Youtou Fennmian, is a young and tender boy. Not to mention leading troops to fight, even internal governance relies on Zhu Zihui for support.
As usual, every time there is a joint operation with the security regiment, the security regiment leads the way, and this time is no exception. The puppet troops are still in front, and the Japanese army presses behind. Shiro Ishikawa and Zhu Zihui are sandwiched between the two armies on horseback.
Forty kilometers south of the county seat, there is a village called Shawo Village next to the highway. There is a wheat threshing field on the west side of the village's north road, and there are piles of straw and wheat straw in the field.
As early as the first time the two devils entered the city, Shanzi had set up secret sentries in the wheat field to monitor Ando's troop dispatches around the clock. The sentries all came and went on horseback when taking turns.
When a long queue of people passed by, Zhuang Zhuang, who was hiding behind the haystacks, roughly estimated that the number was between five and six hundred people.
After running into the woods to the west of the village, Zhuangzhuang and Wangwang each mounted their saddles and mounted their horses. They detoured along the west of the village to the south of the village and quickly entered the Qiaoxin Highway.
In only an hour, the two horses quickly covered a distance of thirty miles.
Shanzi was shocked when he received the report of the enemy's situation——
It was originally thought that the Japanese would send out at most one squadron to capture the missionary team in Heya Village, but for a missionary team of only ten people, Ando did not hesitate to mobilize a large number of troops. There must be another conspiracy behind this.
Thinking of this, Shanzi urgently adjusted the troop dispatch plan. The number of participants in the battle was increased from the original one company to three companies. In addition, Shanzi also transferred a platoon from the machine gun company for coordinated operations.
Ten minutes later, all participating companies were quickly assembled, including logistics support and other units. Shanzi dispatched a total of more than 380 people. The front-line combatants were all veterans of the independent battalion.
