Yes, a person is hidden in a green gauze tent without a trace of wind under the scorching sun, lying on the hot dry earth, the moisture on his body is evaporated, the desire to replenish water urgently, who can feel it without experiencing it personally?

The warriors looked at the sun that was about to set, and silently thought in their hearts: "Sun, please, hurry down the mountain, if you continue to rub it like this, some of these warriors may not be able to survive the dark." ”

At this time, the sun in the west hangs on the horizon, as long as you shake it, you can go down, but this last shake, the sun prefers to follow its own trajectory, and complete the last step with the sunset.

When it finally got dark, the warriors hidden in the green gauze tent slowly sat up, and tried to lean on the crop pole weakly.

Wang Xiaoliang said weakly: "Everyone is still lying on the ground, the crops are also dry, and each soldier is weak and leans on a little, and the crop stalks are crushed, which is the blood and sweat of the villagers." ”

He looked at Song Chun, the commander of the first company, and said, "Consult everyone to see who can get out of the green gauze tent and follow me outside to find water." ”

As soon as the soldiers heard Wang Xiaoliang mention 'water', the soldiers who were in a coma suddenly asked with a shock: "Where is the water, water?" ”

Wang Xiaoliang took a few soldiers with slightly stiff physical strength, carried water bottles on their backs, rode hungry war horses, and searched for water sources along the country dirt road in the middle of the green gauze tent.

Walking a long way and finally seeing a river, Wang Xiaoliang happily urged the horse forward, when he walked into the river loop, it had not rained for a long time, and the bottom of the river was exposed.

When a long line looks at the bottom of the river facing the sky, how can there be a drop of water? He frowned and said anxiously: "Deputy Head Wang, it seems that this is a dry river, and it is difficult to find water from this river." ”

Wang Xiaoliang didn't dare to be discouraged, the soldiers hidden in the crop fields, what they needed most in front of them was to replenish water, even if they pulled out of the dragon king's mouth, they had to get water.

He ordered the soldiers around him: "Our soldiers divide into two routes, go upstream and downstream along the river loop to find water, whether it is upstream or downstream to find water, hurry up and whistle, so that we will know which team has found water." ”

Wang Xiaoliang took three warriors and rode a war horse down the Hetao downstream, walked out for more than a mile, but did not find a water source, and the three soldiers around him whispered and persuaded: "Deputy Commander Wang, the Hetao is like this, no matter how far we go, we will not find water, otherwise we will look upstream, maybe we will ......." ”

Without waiting for the warrior to finish speaking, suddenly a vague voice came from the downstream, Wang Xiaoliang didn't know whether the person talking downstream was friend or foe, he jumped off the war horse for the sake of prudence, leaving a soldier to take care of the war horse, and he took two soldiers to walk downstream.

The closer you get downstream, the clearer your voice becomes, and what comes into your ears is the little devil's bird language.

Wang Xiaoliang's heart thumped, and he immediately guessed that the little devil who appeared downstream was the 372nd Wing of the Japanese Army that crossed the Yellow River?

In order to find out the enemy's situation, he took two soldiers to hide in the thatch of the river loop, and continued to search downstream, and the sound in his ears became louder and louder, and sometimes he could hear the sound of water.

"Water, water, Deputy Head Wang, I heard the sound of water, there is water downstream." One of the fighters shouted in a low voice of excitement.

"Don't be silent, we are very close to the devils, once our location is revealed, the little devils will soon surround us." Wang Xiaoliang whispered to the two soldiers beside him.

The three of them approached again, and when they saw a pond the size of two houses in front of them under the light of the stars and moonlight, a soldier beside Wang Xiaoliang almost pounced in surprise and was dragged back by Wang Xiaoliang.

Wang Xiaoliang shouted in a low voice: "You don't want to die? Don't you see people around the pond? There are still people playing in the water, and I suspect that these figures must be little devils, so hide quickly. ”

At this time, on the east shore of the pond, there were thirty or forty devils shouting, and one of them shouted: "You should bring the captain of the wing immediately, it will be very comfortable to take a bath here." ”

"Hello." A devil turned around and ran out, and after a while, more than a dozen people came from the east, and the devils who were surrounding the pond immediately returned to the shore and shouted in a salute: "Report to the Captain, the water here is very good, please take a bath for Your Excellency." ”

"Hello, I like it very much." The captain of the devil wing laughed at a few people around him: "Don't stand on the shore, come down and wash together, it will be very comfortable." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Captain, for your concern."

More than a dozen Japanese officers, waiting for the captain of the devil wing to slowly walk into the water, then they were busy undressing, and one by one they put a strip of white cloth on their lower bodies and got into the water.

These dozen devil officers, who were splashing in the water and rubbing the oil mud all over their bodies, angrily hid in a green gauze tent on the side of the pond, scolded in a low voice: "Bastard, a good pool of water, has been spoiled by this group of beasts." ”

Another soldier leaned in front of Wang Xiaoliang and said through gritted teeth: "Deputy Commander Wang, what are we waiting for?" How happy is it to simply pull the troops up and clean up this group of mongrels? ”

"Do you think there are just a dozen devil officers around? If I guessed correctly, this Japanese army should be the commander of the 372nd Wing of the Japanese army who crossed the Yellow River to reinforce Dezhou, and there will be at least one brigade of devils around them. ”

"Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, the soldiers of the cavalry company hidden in the crop fields behind are thirsty and almost have their last breath left, if they don't send the water back in time, I'm afraid they will die." A soldier looked at the shrill sound of water playing in the pond and said anxiously.

Wang Xiaoliang was also unbearably thirsty at this time, he couldn't wait to rush out and kill the little devil in the water, fill the water bottle hanging on his body, and hurry back.

He looked at the little devils in the pond, and he didn't want to come out for a while when he was comfortable playing in the water, so he gritted his teeth and used his brains to figure out how to blast the devils out of the water.

Wang Xiaoliang wanted to break his head, but he didn't come up with a way to be safe and blast the devil out of the pond, his already dehydrated body was in a hurry, and he was sweating profusely, and he was helpless to make a 'hi' sound.

One of the soldiers scolded fiercely again: "Grandma, if a few water snakes get into this group of bastards' **, how good would it be to kill these dozen devil officers?" ”

When Wang Xiaoliang heard the word 'water snake', his brain immediately moved, and he whispered to the two soldiers beside him: "You two hide here, I'll come back in a while, don't make a sound to expose the target." ”

He cautiously retreated, and when he left the green gauze tent on the bank of the pond, the cat ran upstream along the river loop with his waist bent, and when he came to a tree, he grabbed the willow branch with his hand, broke a dozen of them and held them in his arms, and quickly got into the green gauze tent again.

After a short time, a black shadow approached the downstream edge of the west side of the pond, and slowly approached the pond with snake-like things in his hand, conveyed by the connected wicker.

This figure was none other than Wang Xiaoliang, he sent the willow branch made into a snake into the pond, and then pushed it forward violently, and the wicker water snake suddenly seemed to raise its head and quickly approached the dozen devil officers bathing in the water.

Wang Xiaoliang continuously sent five homemade 'water snakes' into the water, and these five water snakes were still together at first, slowly separating with the water waves, and leaning towards the naked devil who was taking a bath.

A devil near the middle of the water, plunged into the water, swam a few steps forward, and suddenly came out of the water, and when he shook his head and opened his eyes again, he suddenly found several water snakes very close to him in the night, staring at him motionlessly in the night.

Frightened, the devil officer howled and ran back, swimming quickly in the water, and screamed miserably: "Snake, there is a snake in the water." ”

A dozen or so devil officers who were taking a bath, when they heard someone howling that there were snakes in the water, they were so frightened that they looked around and quickly retreated to the pond, and when they saw five water snakes swimming not far away, they were so frightened that they fluttered and rushed ashore.

A dozen little devils climbed ashore, grabbed their clothes and ran away, no one cared where their wing captain was, the poor devil wing leader, roared angrily and scolded back two soldiers, two soldiers holding the wing leader's arm, desperately fleeing eastward.
