Li Qinghe took out the keys and unlocked all the door locks of the two warehouses. He stood at the door and still deliberately insisted on saying to Xiao Yonggui: "I still said the same thing. Although the Japanese insist on checking this warehouse now, I think it is still too little.

It's better for others to go in, or you can go in alone and take a look. It's up to you to do whatever you want.

Xiao Yonggui said: "I can't take care of that much anymore. Let's open the door."

Li Qinghe pushed open the door and first put the lantern in to shine a light on the room. He had already checked it and was sure that there would be no trace of his comrades staying here in the warehouse.

As soon as you enter the door and look to the right, you will see a gloomy red coffin placed horizontally in the main room. It will make people feel very uncomfortable at first sight.

He waved to Xiao Yonggui and Itadaichi and said, "Please come in."

Xiao Yonggui went in first and took a look. Sure enough, there was no source for what Li Qinghe told Li Qinghe in the warehouse. He said to Bantian: "Captain Bantian, it seems that the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army have not been here."

Bantian frowned and stared with small eyes. He seemed to be asking other people, but also seemed to be asking himself. He grinned: "Where did the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army go?!"

Li Qinghe blessed from the bottom of his heart with joy: May the comrades reach their destination safely.

While Li Qinghe was dealing with the enemy, Yang Jiwei and others jumped out of the blockade in the Shifo area. With the help of guides and local comrades, and with the continuous green gauze tents as cover along the way, they marched overnight and jumped over the railway.

(Beijing-Hankou Line), and arrived safely near Wangcheng at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain before dawn, but,

It will still take some time before entering the Taihang Mountains. As long as you successfully pass the lookout city and go a short distance forward, you will enter the handover point in the Taihang Mountains. Leave the leaders and three students to the next section of the journey and come to accept the escort mission.

As a brother force, Yang Jiwei and others have completed this mission of escorting the leaders.

Taking into account the physical strength of the leader and the students, the continuous night march might be too much for them, so after careful consideration, they temporarily settled down in a small village called "Nanzhuang" south of Wangcheng. There are a total of twenty or thirty households living here.

The family is number one hundred and ten. Judging from the layout of the village, the north and south are long, and the east is long.

In the west short distance, the distance between each household is very long. From the ruins in the middle and around it, you can clearly see that this is not the small village it is today. Although there are only a few people in the village, there are about ten people who sneaked out to join the Eighth Route Army.

.According to the arrangements of the local party organization and traffic officers, the comrades were placed in the southernmost area of ​​Xiaonanzhuang

There is a house named Mu nearby. This house is close to the outside of the village and is very convenient to enter and exit. There is an old couple who are nearly fifty years old. The man is Mu Hongzhou. They have a son in his twenties. I later found out that

The old couple also has an eldest son, who is twenty-two years old this year. According to the couple, the eldest son is

The son’s name is Mu Yuancheng. He left his hometown for Shaanxi two years ago. He heard that he joined the Eighth Route Army last year. According to local comrades, his second son Mu Yuandao also wanted to join the army last year. At that time, his family considered that

The actual situation was not approved. Yang Jiwei and the leaders felt that it was safe to settle in this village.

However, in order to be sure and to make the operation safer, Yang Jiwei asked the chief and comrades to change into casual clothes and farmers' clothes for better concealment. Yang Jiwei decided to investigate the terrain and environment here to make a good preparation.

Prepare for advance and retreat to prevent unexpected events and emergencies.

According to the arrangement, Yang Jiwei had to go to Yangji Town to contact the comrades who came to meet him. Yang Jiwei first became familiar with the terrain of this place. There are mountains to the northwest and plains to the southeast. It is exactly at the intersection of the mountains and the plains.

It can also be regarded as a hilly area in the semi-mountainous area, with crisscrossed ravines and crisscrossing streams; the soil structure is a mixture of loess, sand, gravel, and clay. The surface of the land is very soft and soft, with a thin layer of clay underneath, and below that are unevenly sized stones just like river pebbles.

.

It seems that the land here is not fertile. So why did they settle here? Mu Hongzhou said: "I heard from the elders that in ancient times, due to years of war, this place was originally desolate, overgrown with weeds, and uninhabited. Our place

Most of the people living nearby moved here from other places. Our Xiaonanzhuang village originally had one or two hundred households, but because it was a remote and remote place, people later moved to other places one after another."

There is a small river to the north of Nanzhuang, with not much water and not too wide. During the rainy season, the width of the water surface is determined or changed depending on whether it rains or not; during the dry season, the pebbles under the river are exposed in patches, and the river water is almost

The water dries up but does not dry up. Even in the winter, there is still very clear and green water in every pothole. In winter, it freezes into small ice rinks. Children often play on it, play spinning tops, make slips, etc.

After crossing this small river, about three and a half miles away, there is a small town called Yangji Town. There are hundreds of families living in the town, with about 5,000 people. Entering the Taihang Mountains from Nanzhuang Village, Yangji Town is

The only way to go.

Yang Jiwei selected two scouts, Wang Yanzhong and Gu Xiaolong. Due to the local accent and dialect, he was afraid that people would know they were from other places. This is because Yang Jiwei's ancestral home is Shandong, and he later fled to the Northeast and came to Shanxi from the Northeast. Now

Entered the river again

North, his accent can be said to be from the south to the north. Wang Yanzhong is from Zuoyun in Shanxi's northern Shanxi area, which is close to Inner Mongolia, and this Gu Xiaolong is from Lingqiu. As soon as he hears these two people speak, he knows that they are both authentic Shanxi people.

,So, if you go to Yangji Town

For reconnaissance work, it was necessary to find someone with an accent similar to the local one. Therefore, Yang Jiwei chose Fu Liguo. The young man was smart, had a good mind, was bold and careful, and the key was that he had strong adaptability. That night he met the enemy on the embankment.

when, it is sufficient to prove that payment

Li Guo could complete the task. Yang Jiwei looked at Fu Liguo and felt that his accent was basically the same as that of the local people. A slight correction would be enough to make it look real. He sought Wang Yanzhong's opinion, and Wang Yanzhong also thought that he could take Fu Liguo out to have a try.

Get some exercise.

This Wang Yanzhong was Wang Zhonghe's brother. Wang Zhonghe later joined the army and worked as a member of the armed workers' team behind enemy lines with Fu Liguo and others in Liyang County.

Yang Jiwei called Fu Liguo to him and asked, "Do you dare to go to town with us?"

Fu Liguo puffed up his chest and said, "I dare you. Don't worry, company commander, I've never been a fool in anything I do!"

When everyone heard what he said, they burst into laughter. Yang Jiwei touched Fu Liguo's head and smiled and said: "Good job." Then he seemed to be telling all the soldiers present: "No matter what situation you encounter,

You must not panic, you must be calm, and you must not act rashly when you are forced to do so." "Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.

Yang Jiwei took these three soldiers out to explore the local terrain. This place was very different from the Jizhong Plain. The uneven terrain was very conducive to concealment and hiding. The leader and comrades were not easily discovered by the enemy here.

Mu Hongzhou volunteered to lead the way for Yang Jiwei and others, which made everyone extremely happy. It would be much easier to have a local like him as cover.

According to Mu Hongzhou, a lot of Japs and puppet soldiers came to the town some time ago, but there seem to be fewer these days. There are only about ten Japs and thirty puppet soldiers, and the rest are some without military uniforms and waistbands.

But there are plainclothes traitors in the bastard box. In fact, during the entire Anti-Japanese War, it was this kind of plainclothes traitors who were difficult to deal with. They were familiar with the local area.

Geography, transportation, dialects and accents, etc. For people coming from other places, they don’t need to check specifically. They can tell whether you are a local or an outsider just by hearing the accent. If you are targeted by such a person, it will be difficult to escape.

, because they know the local streets, alleys, corners and twists and turns very well, so the most hateful ones are these traitors.

According to the superior organization, not long ago, the party organization and contact point in Yangji Town were reported to the Japanese by local traitors and gangsters. They suffered heavy damage and losses, and more than a dozen party members in the town were arrested. Regarding this,

, the higher-level party organizations have long hated these traitors and gangsters. It is said that after the escort mission is completed, an anti-traitor team may be sent to completely liquidate the traitors, gangsters and the heinous puppet soldiers here.

.

The meeting in the town this time was scheduled in advance. Of course, after a period of adjustments and arrangements by the local party organization, it has basically recovered, and careful arrangements and arrangements have been made for this escort mission. That is the case

, and we should not take it lightly, this is enemy-occupied territory after all.

Yang Jiwei and the others also had to dress up. Yang Jiwei and Mu Hongzhou each carried a sash on their shoulders, pretending to be farmers going to town for shopping. Wang Yanzhong had a shoulder pole with a large roll of rope hanging on it.

It was just a porter. Fu Liguo and Gu Xiaolong took turns pushing a wooden wheelbarrow. This kind of wheelbarrow is most suitable for the local geographical environment, because it is surrounded by hills and rocks.

The road is rugged and narrow, and sometimes you will flexibly avoid potholes. However, this kind of unicycle is difficult to master. If you have never learned or pushed this kind of car, you will definitely not be able to do it. In addition to overturning, I am afraid it will turn over.

It was difficult to move even an inch. This kind of cart was not only very practical in mountainous areas, but also very common in the plains of central Hebei, so Fu Liguo and Gu Xiaolong pushed it easily and naturally.

Yang Jiwei and his party put on makeup and went on the road. There were not many pedestrians on the road. They did not carry any weapons to prevent their identities from being revealed when the enemy searched. On the surface, a few people were joking and walking, but in fact they were always alert to the surrounding situation or changes. They had just

After crossing the small bridge from Xiaonanzhuang to Yangji Town, you can see the village entrance of the town.

There is a watchtower about ten meters high beside the road, with a plaster flag on it and a machine gun next to it. A Japanese soldier and two puppet soldiers stand guard on it. In the middle of the road, there are two roadblocks crisscrossing each other.

, two Japanese soldiers with live ammunition stood on both sides, and five puppet soldiers were checking the passers-by in front of the roadblock.

Yang Jiwei winked at everyone and told them to stay vigilant. Yang Jiwei whispered to Mu Hongzhou: "Uncle, my accent is wrong. If they interrogate you, just say what we agreed in advance and say that I am your eldest son."

Mu Yuancheng, who studied carpentry in Miyun, must be firm when speaking to them, and don't let the enemy see any flaws."

Mu Hongzhou nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

"Stop, what are you doing?" A puppet soldier carrying a box gun shouted to Mu Hongzhou and Yang Jiwei who were walking in front.

Mu Hongzhou himself was a pure farmer. He had never seen or experienced such a formation, and he still felt a little guilty. Therefore, when the puppet soldiers asked him, he trembled with fright, his face turned blue and white, and he refused to listen.

He replied in a commanding manner: "Old, old... boss, we are... Xiaonannannan... that... village, go to... town..."

When a puppet soldier next to him saw Mu Hongzhou being frightened, he felt very happy. He pointed at Mu Hongzhou and said, "Hahaha... Look at how scared he is. He looks like an old farmer at first glance."

The puppet soldier carrying a box gun said impatiently to Mu Hongzhou: "Let's go, let's go!"

When he saw Yang Jiwei, he immediately opened his eyes and shouted, "What are you doing here?"
Chapter completed!
