Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, Liu Heitan and a group of traitors disguised themselves as officers and soldiers of the guerrillas in northern Jiangsu, and killed everywhere in the name of dealing with traitors.

In order to arouse the hatred of the local people and the Northern Jiangsu Corps, Liu Heitan and his colleagues singled out those people who were highly respected in each village to kill, and many patriots who supported the Northern Jiangsu Corps were also slaughtered.

For a time, the people in this area were panicked and rumored, and all the people who had previously supported the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps turned their faces one after another and began to hate the Northern Jiangsu Corps.

Because they are all rural areas, the Northern Jiangsu General Corps did not send troops to station, but only led the establishment of the militia joint defense self-defense force.

Under the wanton slaughter of Liu Heitan, who disguised himself as a guerrilla, these militia joint defense and self-defense forces that originally supported the Northern Jiangsu Corps also turned back one after another, aiming their guns in the direction of the Northern Jiangsu Corps.

The local people and militiamen who were kept in the dark did not know that the so-called "guerrillas" who killed in the villages were fake, and that they were a group of traitors who specially provoked relations between the Northern Jiangsu General Brigade and the people.

In this era of backward means of communication, due to the sudden hostility of the people to the Northern Jiangsu Army, even Yang Ling's intelligence network established by relying on the locals was also paralyzed.

Because the relatives and neighbors of the intelligence officers composed of these local people were also killed, the hatred blinded people, and they did not think to report the situation to the Northern Soviet Corps and ask for an explanation.

Because of the presence of devils' infiltration troops in this area, combat companies drawn from various combat units of the Northern Jiangsu General Corps also entered this area to prepare to encircle and suppress devils, and by the way, they trained troops in actual combat.

However, when the combat companies entered the area, they realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"How do you feel lifeless, I haven't seen anyone along the way." Some of the brothers were puzzled.

The brothers entered the area in good military order, but the road was deserted, and not even one of the vendors was to be seen.

"It's such a cold weather, I guess it's all at home." Some of the brothers said disapprovingly.

Although it was already February, it was still bitterly cold, and many brothers were not surprised by this.

"No, no, haven't you noticed that there are many new graves on the way here?" Some brothers still felt that something was wrong.

One brother nodded reminiscingly: "It seems that there are more than ten of them we have seen."

"Could it be a plague here?"

One of the brothers suddenly thought of something, and his face turned a little pale, so frightened that the eyes of the brothers around him jumped wildly, and they thought that it was possible.

In this era of lack of medical treatment, plague is synonymous with death, and once it is contaminated, it is ten deaths.

Many times after a battle, because there are too many decomposing corpses, there is often a plague, so that the devils dare not easily enter the area where the plague occurred.

"What nonsense, where did the plague come from in the winter!"

Hearing the startled discussion of the brothers, Captain Company Commander Sun Liang was shocked by the head of the brother who brought up the topic.

When the brothers heard the words of the company commander Sun Liang, their faces softened, they had heard that the plague existed on a hot day, but they had never heard of a plague in the winter.

Although the captain and company commander Sun Liang felt that there should be no plague in the winter, he also felt that something was wrong with this area, and he couldn't say what was wrong.

"A long line!" Company commander Sun Liang shouted at the back.

"Yes!"

A square-faced second lieutenant platoon commander hurriedly trotted over from behind and stood upright in front of Sun Liang.

"Take some of the brothers to the front and see what is going on, and find a guide by the way." Sun Liang instructed the platoon leader.

"Yes!"

As he spoke, the platoon leader named a few brothers from the group, and then led them out of the group and went out to investigate.

And the company commander Sun Liang led the team to follow the rear slowly, they came to encircle and suppress the infiltration troops of the devils, so they have always maintained a battle formation.

Soon, the platoon commander who had gone out to reconnoiter came back from the front with a frustrated face.

"What's the situation?"

Looking at these dejected brothers, Sun Liang also felt that something was wrong, and stepped forward to ask.

"We have a village in front of us, and according to the map, it should be called Yangjiagou...... "The platoon leader reported.

"Let's go, lead the way, let's camp in Yangjiagou tonight." Hearing that there was a village in front of him, the company commander Sun Liang was very happy and was about to beckon.

But the platoon commander stood still and didn't move, "Company commander, let's camp in another place tonight." ”

"Why?" Company Commander Sun Liang's face was full of doubts.

"We wanted to go into the village, and the villagers stoned us and said we were not welcome." One of the brothers could not help but speak.

"Huh?" Company Commander Sun Liang frowned.

Their Northern Jiangsu Corps has always had a good relationship with the people in this area, so what about this situation now?

"Did you not tell us who we were?" Company commander Sun Liang quickly looked at these brothers and asked.

"We said it, we said they were more fierce, and some people rushed out with kitchen knives......" A row of grievances on their faces.

Sun Liang looked at the brothers who went to investigate: "That's strange, did you do something hurtful?"

"Company commander, wronged, we don't know what's going on, as soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, they rushed out to beat us and kill them, so we had to run back." A platoon leader explained.

Hearing the explanation of the platoon leader, the company commander Sun Liang also felt that the situation was a little unusual, too unusual.

"Let's go over and have a look, maybe it's a misunderstanding."

Now that he was on someone's land, the company commander Sun Liang finally decided to go over to see the situation.

Soon, the brothers of this company were walking towards the village in a mighty way, and before they could get closer, they heard the noise of gongs and drums in the village, and a large group of people rushed out with kitchen knives and hoes.

"Prepare for battle!"

Seeing so many villagers rushing out violently, the second platoon leader was also startled, and his hand was about to pull out the shell gun on his waist.

There was a loud bang and the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun, and the brothers were like great enemies.

"Fight a fart, put down the gun for Lao Tzu!"

Seeing that the brothers were all loaded with bullets, the company commander Sun Liang scolded: "Don't you see that they are all unarmed fathers and villagers, what do you want to do?"

"But they have weapons in their hands...... "The second platoon commander explained aggrievedly.

"It's all kitchen knives, what are you afraid of?" Company commander Sun Liang gave the second platoon commander a big roll of his eyes angrily.

"Stay here and don't move, I'll ask, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding."

After giving a word of advice to the brothers, the company commander Sun Liang tidied up his clothes and strode towards the entrance of the village.

"To protect the company commander—"

The platoon leader glanced at the two brothers behind him, and they hurriedly grabbed their guns and followed.

"Get out, we don't welcome you in Yangjiagou!"

Before the company commander Sun Liang approached, these villagers with kitchen knives and flat shoulders shouted angrily.
