In addition to two crooked machine guns and shell guns, the more than 50 people led by Captain Yang were lightly armed, so they were particularly convenient and agile in their movements. Under the guidance of Fu Yonggen, in order not to be captured by the Japanese

I discovered that they were all traversing crop paths. Although it was a bit bumpy, under the cover of the green gauze tent, it was time-saving and safe. In this way, I could reach the Zhulong River quickly without being noticed.

There is always a cool feeling in the plains on autumn nights, with a thin layer of blue mist floating on the crop tips; the "chacha" produced by the friction between the tall corn and sorghum leaves on both sides of the trail.

The sound of joints, the "squeaking" sounds of crickets, and the "squeaking" sounds of grasshoppers after being frightened made Company Commander Yang and his team constantly prick up their ears and be wary of their surroundings.

The stars in the night sky are like fruits washed by the rain, filling the soft blue sky. The moon is shining with its brilliance, illuminating the quiet sea-like plain. The Zhulong River flows quietly, and the water waves slant and shine with the blurred moonlight.

.

They squatted by the water and observed carefully. The water here was very wide, but the water flow was very slow. The river was covered with waist-high weeds. Seeing that there was no abnormal movement, Captain Yang came to the water and squatted down to touch a handful of river water.

, dealing with Yong Gen: "Dad, this water is so cold."

Fu Yonggen said: "People often say that the autumn water is freezing. What's more, it's already late at night, and the water on the surface is also bitingly cold. Are you all okay?"

"No problem." He greeted everyone softly: "roll up your trouser legs and get ready to cross the river."

Then Captain Yang asked Fu Liguo: "Have you found it? Where is the shallow water?"

Fu Liguo came to the front. He looked upstream and downstream, as if he was looking for something. He said to Company Commander Yang: "Company Commander, we can just walk up there. It's too wide and deep here. Let's go fish."

Wherever you want to go, follow me."

Fu Liguo crouched and trotted quickly upstream of the river. Captain Yang called to everyone: "Hurry up and follow."

Not long after, Fu Liguo stopped at a high ridge built with soil. He pointed at the ridge and said, "We're here, company commander, look, we can just cross the river from here. I'll go down first."

"Slow down." Captain Yang turned around and said to a soldier beside him: "Xiao Zhang, go and help Uncle Fu."

Fu Yonggen hurriedly said: "No, no, what's the point of crossing a river? I'm fine, let's go quickly."

Under the moonlight, the river surface looked particularly clear. Fu Liguo's legs and feet were nimble. At the stall where everyone took off their shoes, he had already waded into the stall more than ten meters away. The water here was indeed very shallow. Suddenly, Captain Yang and everyone faintly heard each other talking to each other.

From far to near, the sound of motors could be heard from far and near on the embankment. Fu Yonggen was heard saying to Captain Yang: "Oh no, it must be the patrolling Japanese patrolling the embankment. They don't often patrol the embankment."

Come out, how come we bump into each other?"

Unable to think too much, Captain Yang hurriedly ordered everyone to take cover. He shouted softly to Fu Liguo, who was already standing in the river: "Liguo, come back quickly, there's something going on."

Fu Liguo heard the company commander's call and quickly returned. But at this moment, a strong electric light swept across the river, shining brightly in the river.

"Lie down and take cover." Everyone hurriedly hid in the grass of the river. However, Fu Liguo had no time to return to the shore and saw the beam of light sweeping towards him. If he didn't hide, he would definitely be killed in the water.

The enemy found out.

Hidden in the grass on the shore, Captain Yang, Fu Yonggen and all the soldiers broke out in a cold sweat. If the enemy discovered Fu Liguo, no one could imagine what actions the enemy would take. Once a firefight broke out, the consequences would be even more unpredictable.

, when that situation does arise, not only will the execution of the tasks assigned by the superior be delayed, but it may also disrupt the overall plan of the superior.

Just when everyone was worried and anxious about this sudden situation, they saw Fu Liguo squatting on the spot, then gently diving into the water, and lying under the water, and his whole set

The movements were really fast and steady. When the whole body floated down, there were no waves on the water surface, only slight ripples were left, but they were quickly smoothed by the flowing water.

When the enemy's electric light swept over and then back, it took about ten minutes for the stall to pass. After a while, a faint sound of a motor was heard, and the enemy was seen driving forward in a car, with a cloud of dust rising behind him.

.

While everyone was secretly marveling at Fu Liguo's wit and skill in the water, Captain Yang became worried about him, because the river was really too cold at this time. Can he survive being soaked in the water for a long time? The enemy had just walked not far,

Captain Yang was the first to stand up and rush to the water. He didn't bother to take off his shoes and waded into the river. He called Fu Liguo's name in a deep voice: "Li Guo, Li Guo, come out quickly. Where are you?"

As if he heard the noise, Fu Liguo quietly raised his head out of the water. When he saw Company Commander Yang walking towards him, he said in a trembling voice: "Long, long, long, slow down, the water is deep here, be careful of falling in."

"

"Come up quickly and take off your wet clothes, be careful of the cold." Captain Yang quickly took off his military uniform and put it on Fu Liguo. He put his arm around his shoulders and asked, "How are you doing? Can you hold on?"

Fu Liguo shook his body, and his lower teeth rattled against his upper teeth, but he still said: "It's okay... it's okay, hey, what's this?"

"Let's cross the river quickly." Captain Yang said to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone, follow us."

Under the guidance of Fu Liguo, everyone quickly reached the other side. Captain Yang counted the number of people with his shirt off, and then ordered everyone to quickly get on the embankment and continue moving forward.

As he was walking, he suddenly felt someone put a piece of clothing on him. After a closer look, it turned out to be old man Fu Yonggen. He hurriedly said: "Dad, I'm not cold. You can't catch cold because you are old, so you should wear

Bar."

Fu Yonggen walked with his head and said: "I wore two clothes when I went out. I will wear one for you and I have another one. You gave the clothes to Liguo. How can you go shirtless? Put it on quickly.

Okay. Do you want to meet me again?"

Captain Yang nodded, put on his clothes, and suddenly felt much warmer. He looked at his father who was running quickly beside him, and a warm current of warmth rose in his heart. He couldn't help but secretly sigh: This is really a deep love between the military and the people.

ah!

Everyone walked quickly on the embankment for a while. Everyone's body was slightly soaked with hot sweat. After walking about ten miles, Captain Yang looked ahead and then looked at the sky. The moon was almost reaching the treetops. He

He asked Fu Yonggen: "Dad, when will we get off the embankment?"

When he asked, Fu Yonggen explained: "Probably... Well, there are only two or three miles left. There is a saying here: "Walk along the embankment for fifteen years to see Cheng Town, and Cheng Town will be ten miles away."

Arrive in Anxiang on the fifth day. When Anxiang arrives, it will be Anping."

Captain Yang was a little excited when he heard "Anxiang". He subconsciously looked around and said softly to Yonggen: "Dad, I might as well tell you that the place where we are going to perform our mission this time is Anxiang."

"Well, it's much closer. We should go down the embankment ahead, and then take the path around Chengzhen, and take a shortcut all the way to Anxiang. Although it's not easy to walk this way, it's at least seven or eight miles closer.

"

"Really? Fortunately, Big Daddy is there to lead the way, otherwise we would have to travel a lot of unnecessary distances."

Fu Liguo ran at the front. For the first time, he performed a mission with everyone like a real Eighth Route Army soldier. He had the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. His clothes were almost dry after being warmed by the wind. Although he had been running for ten

Come

Although he had neither a gun nor ammunition on him, he was relaxed, so he was still as light as a swallow and full of energy. Company Commander Yang asked him: "Are you tired?" He replied readily: "No, I'm at home.

I often run barefoot."

After all, Fu Yonggen was getting older. He gasped and said, "This kid is really naughty. From now on when we join the team, Captain Yang, you have to take good care of this little brat for me. I'm angry at home."

"Hey... Dad, I'm a soldier of the Eighth Route Army." Fu Liguo turned around and walked backwards. He faced his father, Captain Yang and all the soldiers behind him, and said in a rude tone: "From now on, I will

If dad scolds me again, it will be equivalent to scolding an Eighth Route Army soldier, right, company commander?"

This sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter. Company Commander Yang quickly stopped him and said: "Everyone, please be gentle."

Before Captain Yang could speak again, Fu Yonggen cursed again: "You little bastard, you've got a tough back, haven't you? I will be your father when the time comes."

This time, Captain Yang couldn't help laughing, and everyone didn't dare to laugh anymore.

At this time, Fu Liguo suddenly stopped and said, "Company commander, listen, there seems to be movement ahead."

Everyone suddenly became alert. Captain Yang waved for everyone to squat down. He listened carefully and found that there were voices in front of him, and they were getting closer and closer. He waved back, and everyone quickly hid in the grass on both sides of the embankment.

, he and the soldier beside him, Xiao Wang, muttered something, and then pulled out the shell guns from their waists. Everyone also held the guns in their hands and stared ahead warily.

After a while, I saw a bunch of dark things walking slowly and leisurely on the embankment, and vaguely heard footsteps and breathing. When the thing walked ten meters away from their hiding place, it suddenly stopped.

.

Captain Yang took a closer look through the moon's peripheral light. It turned out to be a motorcycle with a bucket. It might have broken down halfway. He saw two people pushing from behind and one person riding in front to control the direction.

I only heard one person say: "Squad leader, I'm exhausted. Let's talk to Taijun again. Let's rest here for a while. Can we have a cigarette before leaving?"

"Damn it, I'm too busy, just take a break." The person who answered muttered a few words to the person riding the motorcycle, and they stopped.

I thought they would leave after a while, but instead they started chatting while smoking. The man called the "squad leader" continued to translate to the man riding on the car, causing the man to talk from time to time.

He laughed like a wolf.

Captain Yang concluded that there were three people pushing the cart, one Japanese and two puppet soldiers. He anxiously took out his pocket watch from his coat pocket and looked at it. He whispered a few words into Xiao Wang's ear, and then whispered to Li Guo: "Li Guo

, put on your clothes, go around to the embankment, and lead them over, and pay attention to safety."

Fu Liguo understood what the company commander meant. His accent would allow the enemy to recognize that he was a local, that he was still a child, and that he was wearing ordinary people's clothes, which would make the enemy relax their vigilance. So he agreed, and as soon as he withdrew, he headed towards

After slipping away, he was probably almost there, and he rolled onto the embankment.
