Chapter 34 The Storm is Coming
Compared with half a month ago, the county town of Shigu, which was reoccupied by the Japanese, was much more heavily guarded, and the muzzles of the two Type 92 heavy machine guns at the head of the city were facing the people entering the city, and there was still a row of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition standing at the gate of the city, and the Type 38 rifles with bayonets flashed with a terrifying cold light in the sun, and the two soldiers in charge of the inspection looked at the people who came in and out with fierce eyes.
Huang Weiguo, who was wearing a patched suit and a wide straw hat, was waiting to enter the city behind an old man with cabbage, when it was the old man's turn to enter the city, the soldiers in charge of the search turned the old man's load of cabbage everywhere, and many of the cabbages that had been placed were still on the ground by two Japanese soldiers, all covered with dust, although the old man who sold vegetables begged bitterly, but the two soldiers ignored it at all, and still turned the basket upside down. It wasn't until he couldn't find anything that he waved his hand to let him in, but almost all the cabbage that the old man had brought was ruined, and there was no way to enter the city.
Looking at the old man sitting on the ground with tears in his eyes, Huang Weiguo's brows in the back furrowed into a Sichuan character. He came to Shigu County this time to investigate the current situation in Shigu County, but he never thought that he would encounter such a bad thing as soon as he arrived at the city gate, although he knew that it would be too abnormal for the Japanese soldiers to bully the common people of China in these years, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"You drip...... What kind of people are going into the city or what? Just when Huang Weiguo was stunned, the Japanese soldiers who carried vegetables into the city turned their attention to him.
Huang Weiguo came back to his senses and smiled innocently at the two Japanese soldiers: "Uh...... Hello two gentlemen, I am from Xiaowangzhuang outside the city, and I want to go into the city to buy medicine. ”
"Buying medicine?"
The two soldiers looked at each other, and one immediately went up and searched him all over his body until he was sure that nothing had been missed, and then waved him into the city.
Huang Weiguo entered the city and went straight to the city, he found that there were patrolling Japanese soldiers everywhere along the way, the people on the street were in a hurry, and few of them were wandering on the street, especially young adults like Huang Weiguo were even rarer, Huang Weiguo walked for a while and found that people like himself who were wandering around empty-handed were too rare, and he immediately realized that it was easy to be noticed if he went on like this, so he withdrew into a teahouse.
There weren't many people in the teahouse, and there were more than a dozen people sitting in the hall of hundreds of people whispering.
Throwing a pot of flower tea to the three eldest sons of the tea doctor who came to greet him, Huang Weiguo walked to the side of a table of people and said with a smile: "A few old brothers, don't mind if the younger brother comes to share a table." ”
People who come to drink tea like to chat, two pots of tea and a plate of peanuts and melon seeds can chat for a day, even if people who don't know each other in the teahouse come to a table to chat or something, it is really normal, it is not surprising that a few middle-aged people who are chatting are not surprised to see Huang Weiguo coming, a middle-aged man in a black robe smiled: "Of course I don't mind, there are more people." ”
Huang Weiguo chatted with a few people and slowly began to get acquainted, and after taking a sip of tea, Huang Guowei pretended to ask casually: "A few elder brothers, the younger brother's surname is Huang, and he is doing medicinal materials business in Peixian County, which is more than 100 miles away from here, and he hasn't been to the city for several months. ”
Several middle-aged people glanced at each other, and the middle-aged man in a black robe looked around, lowered his head and whispered: "Brother Huang, you may not know when you first came, this place was just captured by a group of bandits a few days ago, and that group not only killed all the Japanese, but also emptied the Japanese granaries and barracks. It's not ...... Two days ago, the Japanese sent thousands of troops, and these days they have been very strict, whether they enter or leave the city, they have to search their bodies, and we ordinary people will not be able to live anymore. ”
"No, even the Japanese dare to kill, these people are not easy to mess with, I heard that even the Central Army was defeated by them, where did the bandits have so much courage?" Huang Weiguo's face deliberately showed a look of shock.
"Who's to say it isn't." The middle-aged man in black pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and then said: "But this should also be true, I secretly looked down from the roof that night, and saw that many people were moving things out of the city, and those people were all our locals in terms of accent and behavior, and they should be bearded nearby, and ......" said The middle-aged man's voice here was lowered a few degrees: "I heard that these people are from Erlong Mountain, it must be true." ”
"That's ...... I have a relative who recognizes a few people, and I can't be wrong. Someone next to him chimed in.
"I heard that the Japanese are preparing, and they will attack Erlong Mountain in a few days!"
After chatting with everyone for a while, Huang Weiguo left under the pretext of leaving and walked out of the teahouse slowly......
In the evening, in Su Jin's small courtyard, Huang Weiguo, who was sweating profusely, was already sitting in front of Su Jin and reporting to him what he had seen and heard today.
"You said that now everyone in Shigu County knows that we did it?"
"Yes!"
"So the Japanese must know about it?"
"Yes!"
"There is another brigade of devils in Shigu County, and they are planning to attack our Erlong Mountain?"
"This ...... I guess so! ”
replied three times in a row, and the sweat on Huang Weiguo's face began to increase again.
Su Jin closed his eyes and muttered for a long time, then said slowly: "A big group of devils, after almost ten days, can still bear not to attack us immediately, why is this?" ”
Huang Weiguo couldn't help but said: "Brother Su, this matter is obvious, the Japanese must have some conspiracy waiting for us, the question now is what should we do, this is more than a thousand devils!" ”
"What are you yelling at, I know this!" Su Jin took a deep breath and said: "You immediately order to go down, stop shooting training from today, and save all the ammunition, I estimate that it will not take a few days for the Japanese to attack, let the brothers strengthen their vigilance." Alright, you go out first! ”
"Yes!" Huang Weiguo straightened his chest and answered loudly.
After sending Huang Weiguo out, Su Jin sat quietly on the stone bench in the middle of the courtyard thinking about his thoughts. Due to the high-intensity shooting training a few days ago, the ammunition consumption was amazing, and the ammunition that was originally one base per person was almost exhausted, and Su Jin used the remaining thirty energy points even if they were all exchanged for bullets, it was estimated that it would be difficult to support such a high-definition battle, if there was no ammunition, Erlongshan would be completely helpless.
Su Jin on the stone bench was motionless, and the slanting sunset reflected his figure for a long time......
