Qu Jiaming heard such presumptuous nonsense from the puppet army, and he scolded angrily in a low voice: "Bastard, what kind of team do you think the Eighth Route Army is?" Let me tell you, every soldier of the Eighth Route Army, spit is a nail, and you are full of nonsense, be careful that you really take your life. ”

"Okay, okay, count me nonsense, since the Eighth Route Commander said so, I just risked my life and wanted to send you out, if you didn't think I had been a puppet army, I really wanted to join your team, to say a word of conscience, I was really fed up with the bullying of the little devils, and I wanted to escape a long time ago."

Qu Jiaming said with satisfaction: "Since you have the determination to change your evil and return to the right, then I will help you and ask you to be a soldier of the Eighth Route Army who can really stand up and be a man, okay, don't talk nonsense, let's go quickly." ”

Under the leadership of the three puppet troops, Qu Jiaming and the four of them dodged the patrolling enemy puppet army and the secret outposts laid by the enemy, quickly walked out of the Shangjiao Horse Post, passed through the open space of more than 50 meters with barbed wire on both sides, and finally walked into the Xiajiao Horse Post where the enemy puppet army was relatively loosely guarded.

As soon as he walked into the entrance of the village, the puppet army who talked a lot said: "Eighth Road Chief, not far ahead, there are two hidden forts laid by little devils, it is not easy to pass." ”

"Where is the Bunker located, and how many devils are in each Bunker?" Qu Jiaming asked as he lay on the ground and looked ahead.

"More than 20 steps ahead, the dilapidated half yards of the houses on both sides, it looks like a house that no one lives in and is about to collapse on the outside, in fact, there are hidden bunkers inside, each bunker has three to five little devils, there are usually patrolling devils nearby, no one is allowed to approach, now it is not dawn, there must be a devil's secret post nearby, once the dark whistle is alarmed, the devil of the dark fort will soon come out, and then it will be troublesome." The puppet soldier whispered in a trembling voice.

Qu Jiaming frowned, and asked in a low voice in a hurry, "You mean that you can't pass, right?" ”

"I can't think of a way, to take a risk is to die."

Qu Jiaming lay on the ground, carefully observing the tattered yards on both sides of the dozen steps ahead, and then looked around the two dilapidated houses, intending to find the hidden place of the secret sentinel.

Time flies quickly, it should be half past two in the morning, Qu Jiaming said to the soldiers and puppet soldiers around him: "I'll go to the front to reconnoiter first, don't move in the back, wait for me to find out a name." ”

Qu Jiaming crawled forward, six or seven steps away from the dilapidated houses on both sides, and stopped to listen to any movement around him.

Another five minutes passed, Qu Jiaming lay on the ground motionless, he groped for a stone beside him, and threw it at the broken outer wall of the courtyard to the west, and the stone fell to the ground and made a rolling sound, which sounded particularly harsh in the dead of night.

Just before the stone landed on the ground, suddenly from near the broken yard on both sides, more than a dozen black shadows with guns burst out, and asked loudly: "Bastard, what is the sound?" A quick search. ”

More than a dozen black shadows quickly searched the periphery of the broken courtyard on both sides, and after searching for a while, they found no suspicion, among them should be the devil Cao Chang or Wu Chang, and shouted in a low voice: "I didn't find anything, quickly hide." ”

Qu Jiaming detected the reality and found the secret sentry near the devil's dark fort, he was very vigilant, it was really not easy to touch it from under the devil's nose.

At this time, the puppet army who talked a lot touched up, approached Qu Jiaming and said, "Eighth Road Chief, it's really not easy for us to get mixed up, but it's ......." ”

"But what? Say it. Qu Jiaming shouted in an irritable low voice.

"Commander of the Eighth Road, if we go back, in the open space of more than 50 meters in the middle of the upper and lower walking horse post villages, as long as we can destroy a barbed wire fence and drill out, we can return to the lower walking horse post, otherwise there is no way at all."

The puppet army said that there is a barbed wire fence more than one meter high on both sides of the 50-meter open space, as long as you drill out, you can blend into the lower horse post, this idea is also very risky, the upper and lower horse post passages enclosed by barbed wire on both sides are the open space passages formed by the little devils to establish a stronghold and forcibly knock down several houses scattered in the middle.

However, outside the barbed wire fence on both sides of the passage, about 10 meters and more than 20 meters, that is, up and down, the houses of the horse post are cut barbed wire, no matter how east or west they touch, they dare not guarantee that they will not be discovered by the Japanese troops hidden in the village, or the patrol posts, which is also a risky temptation.

Qu Jiaming found out the situation, and in order to go out to meet with Regiment Commander Lei as soon as possible, he reported in a timely manner the troops, firepower, light and dark forts, as well as the rules of the Japanese army's secret posts and patrol posts, in the Japanese strongholds above and below.

There are seven layers of barbed wire, interwoven into a variety of patterns, if you want to break one or two, you can find a way to succeed, if you break a person to get out, but it is really difficult.

Time waits for no one, and once dawn comes and they have nowhere to hide, it is even more dangerous. Qu Jiaming ordered the soldiers around him: "Work in groups of two, get close to break the barbed wire, but don't make any noise to alarm the enemy." ”

Several people worked together for more than ten minutes, and finally made a gap that could only drill one person.

Qu Jiaming was the first to get out, and quickly said to the people behind: "Hurry up and get out and approach the village to the east on your stomach." ”

At this time, seven or eight figures finally came out of the gap in the barbed wire, Qu Jiaming was afraid of being discovered by the enemy, so he hid the gap again, so he took the people around him and crawled to the edge of the nearest Xiagomayi Village more than ten meters away.

Finally approaching the edge of the village, Qu Jiaming climbed under a wall, slowly stood up, and moved towards the village against the wall.

A fright, a heartbeat intensified, and they finally stealthily touched the village, and one by one they really wanted to shout with joy in their hearts.

Just as they moved forward excitedly, suddenly more than two dozen figures sprang out from the houses in front of them, surrounded them, and shouted in a low voice: "What people? Kneel on the ground and do not move, whoever dares to resist will kill you. ”

Qu Jiaming saw that he was surrounded by more than 20 black shadows, he stood up with a big head, suddenly pounced on a few figures leaning over, and shouted to the people around him: "Anyway, it's a death, killing one is enough, killing one more will earn one, Lao Tzu Qu Jiaming is dead today, and he can't just not resist and die in the hands of the enemy puppet army." ”

"Stop, my own people." One of the dozen or so black shadows that pounced on him commanded in a low voice.

Qu Jiaming heard it, it was no one else who shouted, it was their regiment leader Lei Jian, he excitedly pounced on the person who shouted in the dark shadow, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he cried with tears: "Captain Lei, I, Qu Jiaming, can see you alive." ”

Lei Jian grabbed Qu Jiaming who pounced on him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, as long as you are still alive, I will rest assured, go quickly, this is not the place to talk, let's talk about it in another place." ”

More than 30 black shadows, under the guidance of the Minister of Enemy Industry of the Underground Anti-Japanese Government of the Walking Horse Station, they returned to Zou Tiesuo's house again, and when everyone walked into the courtyard, they immediately closed the door, and everyone hugged each other.

Lei Jian pulled Qu Jiaming aside, the two talked for a while, Lei Jian walked back and ordered: "Feng Guang, the commander of the guard platoon, under the guidance of the Tiezhu brothers of this family, is hidden close to the wall at the edge of the village, and sends a signal to the guard platoon and reconnaissance company that are ambushed outside, quickly climb over the wall to come in, enter the village to hide, and wait for the main force of the only regiment to launch an attack on the Japanese stronghold up and down, and then carry out the operation." ”

Lei Jian looked at his watch, and less than twenty minutes before he launched an attack at 4:17, he called three puppet army prisoners to him, and once again confirmed the information obtained from the Japanese stronghold of the Walking Horse Post.

Ten minutes later, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company and guard platoon of the only regiment who came in over the wall, saw their regimental commander Lei, and Qu Jiaming, who had been missing for more than ten hours, and shouted in their hearts: "Let's meet again." ”

A very simple sentence, but it contains the deep feelings between the warriors.

At 4:17, Wang Xiaoliang, who was responsible for leading the main force to raid the Japanese stronghold, received information from Lei Jian in the village, adjusted the offensive deployment slightly, and immediately launched a strong attack on the Zoumayi stronghold.

Under the cover of the artillery fire of the artillery company directly under the regiment, he led the assault team of the first company, braving the enemy's bullets and bullets, to break through the devil's position at the entrance of the village east of the horse post and advance in depth.

The second and third companies in the back, as well as the second battalion responsible for the two flank assists, rushed into the village and immediately divided the troops, forming a zigzag attack on several bunkers of the Japanese army.

As the two main battalions attacking the stronghold of the Zoumayi, with the cooperation of the reconnaissance company and the guard platoon led by Lei Jian, as well as the underground anti-Japanese organization in the village, the enemy and puppet army guarding the east village entrance of the Zoumayi were attacked.
