Although Black Tiger and Eagle Claw Sun were deceived, they respected Duan Wu as a person. Otherwise, as bandits, they would have gone into trouble long ago.
But it is simply impossible to get them to join. They are bandits and are used to freedom. How can they go to the army and listen to other people's orders?
They all made up their minds, while Duanwu was analyzing the expressions and details of the two people.
He could guess that these two people had already made their decision in advance, and wanting to change them was not just a matter of words.
So at this time, he could only retreat and do the next best thing. At least these two people could help him escort the people out of the city during the retreat.
Sure enough, the two agreed easily.
Dragon Boat Festival smiled and toasted with Black Tiger and Eagle Claw Sun to celebrate their first happy cooperation.
Ma Zhenshan wanted to say something at this time but was given a wink by Duanwu, because the other party came prepared and it would be useless to say anything. It was better to pass tonight's test first.
After dinner, it was getting dark. At about six o'clock, the Dragon Boat Festival ordered everyone to pack their things.
Take away whatever you can, and hide whatever you can't, or blow it up. Anyway, they won't leave anything for the little devils.
He divided the people into three parts. The first part was Sun Erniang and others from Yunlai Inn. They would be the first to leave the city with the troops in front.
Because they have a certain degree of combat effectiveness, even if they are really attacked by the enemy, coupled with Ma Zhenshan's fourth battalion, they can still deal with it calmly.
The second part is the people who fled into the city.
The Dragon Boat Festival divides these people into two parts. One part is protected by the black tiger and walks in the middle, while the other part is protected by the eagle claw sun and walks at the end.
Of course, they are not the last troops yet. The last troops are another part of the Fourth Battalion, as well as part of Black Tiger and Eagle Claw Sun. They have to guard the city wall and beware of a sudden attack by the Japs.
Everyone agreed with Duanwu's plan and then went their separate ways. Although they still don't know how Duanwu will take them out of the city.
But people have already gathered on a street in the west of the city.
Dragon Boat Festival looked at the watch, it was now six-thirty, and since it was winter, it was completely dark.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Duanwu prepared to take action. But before taking action, he had to be the first to go out and kill the Japanese lookout post.
Otherwise, the Japanese might not be able to see him alone, there are so many people, unless the Japanese are blind.
What's more, there are so many people, it's difficult not to make a sound.
He told Lao Baanpan: "You must not go out without my order. The enemy has lookout posts outside the city, which may increase in number at night. I must clear all the lookout posts so that everyone can leave the city. Do you understand?"
"
"I understand, don't worry, Tuan, but how are we going to get out of the city? Open the west gate? If there is a Japs lookout post, I'm afraid the Japs will find out, right?"
Old Abacus looked at the city gate in the distance, thinking that the Dragon Boat Festival would go out through the west gate. But in this case, wouldn't it mean that the group had already been discovered by the Japanese lookout post as soon as they left the city gate, so how could they kill the Japanese lookout post?
"hehe!"
Duanwu laughed twice, pointed to the private house on the side, and walked directly through the yard and entered the house without saying anything.
Lao Abacus and others followed to take a look, and then they discovered that there was a secret passage in the house, and the group had already gone down.
Ma Zhenshan laughed loudly: "No wonder the group leader said they could take us out safely at night. It turns out there is such a secret passage?"
But Sun Erniang looked at the yard and said, "Isn't this the home of Madman Wang? Why is there a secret passage?"
Zhang Qing, Fatty Liu and others were also very surprised. There was a madman Wang in Shama Store who drank all day long and went crazy. Moreover, his house was always filled with an unpleasant smell of sweat, so few people were willing to approach him.
But unexpectedly, there is a secret passage in Crazy Wang's home that leads directly to the outside of the city.
Everyone found it incredible, but they recalled that among the people arrested when the Japanese entered the city, Madman Wang was not among them.
At that time, they thought that Madman Wang had been beaten to death by the Japanese, but now it seems that Madman Wang must not have died, otherwise how could Duanwu know this secret passage?
But these are not important anymore. What is important is that with this secret passage, everyone can escape from the city safely.
At the same time, Dragon Boat Festival had already exited the secret passage.
This secret passage is very secretive and is hidden among the perennial wormwood. If the Dragon Boat Festival had not come out from here, it would never have been imagined that there is such a cave in the grass that can lead directly to the cave.
I looked around and saw that although it was dark, there was moonlight.
However, the moon had just risen in the east, so the light was not very good, and the visibility was only about fifteen meters. But at this moment, Dragon Boat Festival saw the light of the fire.
I took out my binoculars and observed that the Japanese had indeed stepped up their vigilance at night.
There were about a dozen Japs in the woods outside the West Gate. They lit bonfires and built temporary fortifications with sacks and stones to monitor the West Gate. Once someone came out of the West Gate, they would be the first to do so.
Time to see.
And when that time comes, they only need to fire warning shots, and the Japanese on the left and right wings will quickly surround them.
According to visual inspection, there were thirteen people, but Duanwu didn't know if the lookout post from before was still there.
This is called a serial sentry, which is based on the fixed sentry and sends out hidden sentries for surveillance. Once the fixed sentry is attacked, the hidden sentry will respond quickly.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival must go and take a look before taking action on the fixed sentry.
Dragon Boat Festival quietly entered the woods and groped southward because when he came out during the day, he had already discovered the location of the Japanese lookout post.
Although the Japs' lookout posts are likely to change positions at night, this will not be a problem for Duanwu. First, he has already surveyed the terrain during the day. And second, it is sufficient to monitor the positions of the West Gate and the Japs' fixed posts at the same time.
There aren't many, so you just need to find them one by one during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Sure enough, Duanwu found the Japs' lookout post on a slope in the forest. However, he did not touch it because Duanwu was not sure that the Japs had only sent out one lookout post.
He continued to search the area, and after making sure there was no one else, he stabbed the Japanese lookout post in the back and gave him a box lunch.
Turn back, go around to the north and do the same, killing the lookout posts on the north side as well.
It was past seven o'clock at night, and only the fixed sentry in the forest on the west side was left. There were more of them, thirteen of them. If the Dragon Boat Festival could not kill the opponent silently, and the opponent fired a warning shot, then he
All previous efforts will be in vain.
Duanwu took a deep breath and was about to take action, but at this moment, bright lines on the mountain road five kilometers south of Shamadian City actually formed a dragon of light, speeding towards Shamadian!
