Biaozi walked with the team for five or six hours, and finally reached the mountain that Yuesong was talking about. As he approached secretly on the mountain road, he encountered a dilapidated earthen house, and there seemed to be the cries of women and children in the house.
"Ren Xian, you and Feiteng Feiyue go into the house and take a look. We'll be guarding outside," Biaozi said.
"Yes." Ren waved first, and Feiteng Feiyue followed him over.
When they arrived at the door, Feiteng Feiyue hid on both sides of the door. Renxian slowly opened the door and looked inside. He saw a peasant woman sitting on a stool crying, a boy of seven or eight years old, and a girl of three or four years old sitting on the bed.
Cry, the cry is pitiful and makes people feel pity.
Seeing someone pushing the door open, the peasant woman got up in fear, ran to the bed and hugged her two children, who cried even louder.
"Fellow, don't be afraid, we are Chinese troops and we are here to help you." Renxian slowly approached the peasant woman and child.
The peasant woman didn't seem to quite understand what Renxian said. Renxian remembered that when he was studying at the Guilin Military Academy, there were many native farmers in the mountains who could not understand Mandarin and only knew their own dialect.
Renxian was anxious and couldn't even make gestures. The peasant women in military uniforms couldn't tell the difference, and they couldn't understand the armbands even more.
At this time, Feiyue walked in, took out a piece of cake from his backpack, tore it in half, and stuffed it into the hands of two children with frightened eyes but salivating for the cake. After the two children got the cake, they stopped crying and let go
He put it in his mouth and started chewing it.
The peasant woman looked at the friendly expressions of the two young soldiers, and was now a little less scared than before. However, since she did not understand Mandarin, it was still difficult for her to communicate.
After a while, Shaoqiu came in. As expected, Shaoqiu was able to communicate with the peasant woman.
It turns out that the Japanese have been arresting laborers everywhere recently. The peasant woman's husband was just arrested today. Under the guidance of the peasant woman, she said that there are several connected hills here.
They were tied up and taken to the mountains, and Japanese cars often drove in from the highway in the nearby valley. It was not clear what they were transporting, but they were all covered with green cloth.
Shaoqiu and Feiteng left some dry food for the peasant woman before leaving the peasant woman's house.
After hearing Renxian's report, Biaozi's heart immediately became heavy and he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, 'when prosperity occurs, the people suffer; when there is death, the people suffer'. As long as there is a war, the people will always suffer."
Looking at the lonely mother and children in the house through the sniper scope from a distance, I couldn't help but think of my wife and children. I couldn't bear to watch anymore, so I put away my rifle and kicked a stone away. Although I was wearing military boots, my toes still hurt.
.
"Captain Hu, what should we do next?" Ren asked first.
"First go to the road the peasant woman mentioned. If you follow the road, you will definitely find the place where the Japanese are building fortifications," Biaozi said.
"Okay, Shaoqiu, follow me." Renxian and Shaoqiu continued to be the vanguard.
Biaozi watched Shaoqiu and the others set off, and waved to Brother Chao to follow them, and he followed with Whooping Crane and Feiteng Feiyue.
After walking two or three miles, I suddenly heard the sound of a car engine in the valley.
Ren first raised his right hand, and the brothers immediately became alert.
Biaozi listened quietly for a while, waved gently forward, and the team continued to move forward to the highway.
When they arrived at a bush more than a hundred meters away from the road, Biaozi and his brothers hid in the bushes and observed the situation on the road.
There were two motorcycles, one in front and one in the back, with Japanese soldiers on them. In the middle was a truck. The truck compartment was covered with tarpaulin. It was unknown what was being transported inside.
Biaozi took a telescope and looked along the road. The road was temporarily built. It was originally a small road that could not pass trucks. It winds and leads deep into the mountain. After turning a corner, it is no longer visible.
