The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 293
The three of them found a dry well in the old village. After walking all the way, the water in the kettle was almost exhausted and needed to be replenished. By looking at the bottom of the well, one can basically tell whether the dry well still exists. water source.

The old village chief was well-informed. He saw that the ground at the bottom of the well was dry and hard, and the color was darker. He said, "The water has not dried up completely. Go down and dig it, and there is still some water that can come out."

Sanbao volunteered and said: "Village chief, Xia Yuan, I'll go down to get water, you stay here and watch."

"Hey, Sambo, be careful when you go down."

The old village chief handed the three people's water bottles to Sanbao. Sanbao nodded, and put the rope on the well mouth around himself. Part of the ground was dry and hard, and some of the ground was slightly wet. Sanbao dug the ground with his hands. There was a lot of sand on the ground at the bottom of the well. After the water disappeared, some of the sand turned into sand, and some of the water in the sand had not yet disappeared. , turned into wet mud.

Three Treasures dug down a large amount of soil, mixed with sediment, and very turbid water flowed out of the pit.

The well is very deep, and the location of the water outlet is also close to the groundwater. The old village chief did not come to the old village once or twice. Obviously he is very familiar with this place. It is estimated that when he went to the district before, he often went from here to the district. Like a transit station.

The two were holding on to the rope, and the old village head stepped on the edge of the well mouth with one foot, turned around and said, "This old village has been deserted for a long time, and the water in this well will dry up, but if you dig it, you can still get water." When it is dug out, this old village has become a transit location for many comrades going to the district. Even if you encounter devils, you can avoid the little devils' search in the old village."

Xia Yuan nodded and asked: "Village chief, the devil's gun tower is here, will the old village be dangerous?"

The place where the devil's gun tower is usually has a devil's stronghold. Even if it is not in the devil's stronghold, the distance will not be too far. Once the devil finds out, the devil can quickly pass through the stronghold to support the gun tower. This is why the guerrillas dare not take the devil's gun tower The second reason.

"It would be great if you took a new route," said the deputy district chief.

Difficult conditions belong to difficult conditions, and the district is currently doing its best to improve the lives of the soldiers, at least let the soldiers take a bath.

After hearing this, Company Commander Cui, the District Chief and Deputy District Chief became interested and asked, "What plan?"

The sky was getting dark, and the voice of the old village head came from the yard. Sanbao stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and shouted, "Here we come."

On the one hand, due to its own firepower, it is impossible to take down the devils' gun towers in a short time, and on the other hand, the devils' support in the stronghold is very fast, which poses a great threat to the guerrillas.

He turned his head and said, "Xia Yuan, stand up quickly, the village chief has called us."

The district chief pointed to the stool beside him and said, "Sit down and drink some tea to rest."

Company Commander Cui knew guns, picked up one to check the magazine, and checked the wear and tear of the gun, and said: "The wear of the gun is quite serious, and it should be eliminated from the Japanese devils."

"This is the weapon he seized from the devils, District Chief, Company Commander Cui, take a look."

After removing the straw from the car, more than a dozen guns were exposed. The old village head took out two guns that were not tied with straw and threw them to the two, and showed the remaining guns to the district chief and the others.

And this is also the experience learned from the lessons again and again, and all the experience in dealing with devils is obtained from the casualties again and again.

The water fetching efficiency of Sanbao is still very fast. Living in the middle of Jizhong area, accompanied by wind and sand all year round, the water is often turbid. In addition to sinking the sediment in the water, they also use clothes wrapped in soil to filter it, but they don’t A theoretical attempt at carbon adsorption, not known to use charcoal for filtration.

"Village Chief Gao, you are here. The District Chief and the others are waiting for you." A cadre saw the three people entering the village, and immediately led them into the village, and then came to a large yard with bright lights. Deng, there are two Eighth Route Army soldiers standing guard outside the door. They don't care about the arrival of a few people, standing at the door like a rock.

The district chief pondered, shook his head and said: "I don't think so. Lao Niu's militia and guerrillas are among the best in the combat effectiveness of the militia and guerrillas in the entire Jizhong Plain, not to mention our division. They will also send someone to send a letter over anything, and they will not remind you of everything."

Xia Yuan got up, patted his buttocks, and walked into the yard. The old village chief was unloading the straw from the car on the ground, and beside him stood three middle-aged men of different appearances and sizes, one of whom was wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform. A military uniform with pistol straps wrapped around his body, and a replica Mauser pinned to his waist.

The district chief looked at the deputy district chief and Cui Lianchang, and said, "This is also a way. Niujiazhuang can't be contacted now, so this is the only way to go, but you have to be careful."

The old village chief was a little anxious about the meeting, so he asked, "Old village chief, what about the meeting?"

"Safety is good. Devils have been raiding frequently during this time, and shadows of devils can be seen everywhere. The new route is always a bit unsafe." The district chief said.

The old village head said: "The devils are now conducting a large-scale mopping up. There are not many devils in the stronghold. Unless there are special circumstances, the devils in the blockhouse will not take the initiative to attack. They are in the blockhouse, and we have nothing to do with them." , but as long as they leave the blockhouse, then we have a way to deal with them!"

Cui Lianchang and the District Chief looked at each other, Cui Lianchang said with a smile: "Hey, I know this, and you did a good job. If you really stole the weapon of the little devil, the little devil will probably be in Heifeng Town the next day. Arrest people here, maybe a few ordinary people will pay the price for your independent actions, but those who stole the puppet army have ideas. You will only blame them for their dereliction of duty, and you will inevitably suffer a lot of flesh and blood, and even the skin of the puppet army commander will be skinned, brave and resourceful."

Company Commander Cui turned his head to look at the old village head, and said, "Old Gao, you little comrade is courageous and resourceful, not bad."

He raised his head and looked at Xia Yuan: "You captured it by yourself?"

Xia Yuan looked at it and said, "It's similar to Gaojiazhuang's situation."

"Yes, the previous route is a bit far, but it is safe." The old village head replied.

"Who says it's not? We were wondering just now, but it's good that you guys are here, now it's just Niujiazhuang."

Even his own ability was forged through countless times of fierce battles.

Along the way, they arrived at the sub-district without incident. The sub-district was set up in a relatively large village, where a company of the Eighth Route Army was stationed and a hospital was set up. After passing through two layers of interrogation, they arrived at dusk and the sky turned dark It was a little dim, and soldiers in Eighth Route Army uniforms were busy with their own affairs. In addition to the Eighth Route Army, there were also militiamen with red tasseled guns on their backs, and an anti-Japanese children's group composed of teenage children patrolling the village.

Sanbao grabbed Xia Yuan's arm excitedly, his face full of joy

"Two little brothers, you wait outside." When entering, the cadre stopped Xia Yuan and Sanbao, and the two waited in the yard. The old village chief entered the room, and a table was placed in the room. The chief, the deputy district chief, and company chief Cui were discussing matters. When they saw the old village chief coming, they all got up to greet him.

The clothes on their bodies are also dirty, there is no change of clothes, and there is no water source, and there is a smell. Even if they want to ensure their military appearance, the living conditions are too difficult, and there is no place to take a bath. , The current water source is also very tight, how can there be extra water for everyone to take a bath.

"No, it's just that the people from Niujiazhuang haven't come yet." The deputy district chief said.

At least at this stage, the devils will not come out, they can operate outside.

The equipment of the Eighth Route Army is still good. The [-] large caps seized from the little devils were made in the border area, and some were made in Hanyang. Most of them were made in Hanyang. The captured [-] big caps were very few. Handed over to the superiors, these surrendered weapons were given to the regular troops fighting on the front line, and the regular troops fighting on the front line faced several times the pressure.

But this is already very powerful.

In the yard, Xia Yuan folded his arms and looked at the Eighth Route Army. It was very different from the Eighth Route Army on TV. The clothes worn by the Eighth Route Army were quite worn out, many uniforms were in tatters, and the shoes on their feet were a piece of cloth and a piece of cloth. Board, and then connected to the whole leggings, to ensure that the shoes will not run away when running.

The three pots of water were quickly fetched. After Xia Yuan and the old village chief worked together to pull out the three treasures, they continued to set off. After passing through the old village, they walked for a few miles and saw a protruding plain in the distance. There is a blockhouse built of bricks by the devil. The blockhouse is not big, and there are vaguely shaking figures in front of the blockhouse.

Xia Yuan nodded and said: "This was seized from the puppet army. If you steal the weapon of the little devil, the little devil will vent to the common people. If you steal the puppet army, the little devil will not treat the puppet army as a human being. They will also lose their weapons." Only dumb people can eat Coptis chinensis."

Especially with so many people, just eating, drinking, and messing around is enough trouble. Thanks to the Eighth Route Army's good discipline and good style, if it were a national army team, it is estimated that facing such an environment, they would have run away long ago.

Sanbao and Xia Yuan waited in the yard for a while, then put the trolley under the shed in the yard, went outside and sat at the door, watching the life in the division with folded arms, Sanbao said: "The weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army are also No, a lot of people are still carrying the old fashioned old sleeves."

"Still going the previous route?" the deputy head asked again.

The old village chief said: "Comrade Xia Yuan's action alone at night really surprised us, but after we thought about the reason, we also admire him very much. The most important thing is that Comrade Xia Yuan thought of a plan suitable for our guerrilla warfare. "

"Xia Yuan, Three Treasures."

Some little soldiers still had grenades and bullet belts hanging on their bodies. Sanbao sat on the ground a little bored, holding a stick in his hand, and compared pictures. Xia Yuan found it very interesting, being able to truly see the Eighth Route Army in this era And the real life of ordinary people, this is no better than the ones in TV dramas.

The three of them didn't provoke this blockhouse, and going to the district for a meeting was the business.

The district chief poured him a glass of water and said, "The meeting will be held tomorrow morning. You should rest first and wait for Lao Niu and the others. Lao Niu and the others are also veteran cadres. It stands to reason that they would not make such a low-level mistake."

The old village chief asked again: "District chief, didn't you send a correspondent to check?"

Xia Yuan thinks very comprehensively. After all, he owns a system, but the old village chief and the others don't have a system. Once the devil finds out, he can escape easily by himself, but it is not easy for the old village chief and the others to escape. matter.

"Niujiazhuang?" The old village head asked: "Niujiazhuang is closer to the division than Gaojiazhuang, and they are on the new route. Basically, they can arrive in less than half a day. The previous routes we took It's already here, and they haven't arrived yet?"

Cui Lianchang said: "Could something really happen?"

So when they entered the village, Xia Yuan and the others also saw some soldiers digging wells. After all, water is the source of life.

Xia Yuan pursed his lips and thought about it seriously. What the old village chief said was also reasonable. The large army of devils was sweeping the Jizhong area. The devils in the strongholds and gun towers were limited. There is only one squadron left, and the devils in Heifeng Town are no more than a squadron of 200 people. With limited troops, devils generally will not leave the stronghold and gun tower easily, which also leads to those areas that have not been swept by the devils. A trace of security.

"It's about this time. It stands to reason that the people from Niujiazhuang have already arrived." Company Commander Cui was also a little puzzled.

This is an era when everyone participates in the resistance against Japan.

"Why are you here so late today?" the deputy district chief asked with some concern.

"Going around in a big circle, we avoided the devil's gun towers and strongholds," said the old village chief.

The old village head took a sip of tea and said: "If not, let's see tomorrow first, if the people from Niujiazhuang don't come tomorrow, we will take a new route when we go back, and take a look at what's going on in Niujiazhuang. "

"Deputy District Chief, did something happen?" The old village chief was keenly aware of the heavy tone in the Deputy District Chief's tone.

The district chief said with a wry smile: "The Japanese devils have launched a big raid recently, and all the correspondents have gone to be scouts. There is too little manpower."

The old village head said: "Tunnel warfare!"

The three of them were startled and looked at each other. The district chief said, "Tunnel warfare!"

The old village chief nodded, seeing that the expressions of several people were not right, he said, "Yes, district chief, is there any problem?"

District Chief Shen Sheng: "This sub-district meeting also discussed ways to deal with the Japanese devils. Let the anti-Japanese guerrillas in the entire Jizhong area watch and exhibit underground work. If you say it small, it means low work. If you say it big, it means to carry out Tunnel battle!"
