Chapter 3: One Man One City (2)
"What do you say? All the dozens of devil soldiers in Zhangwu County are dead? Ma Kui stared, looking at the guy in front of him with a fierce face. The sixth who was stared at by Ma Kui didn't dare to hide anything, so he recounted what happened in the city to Ma Kui and the others, and then emphasized that he took the initiative to put down his weapons and leave at that time, and he just wanted to go back to the village to continue farming, and he didn't want to be an imperial army anymore.
The captives were quickly taken down, and Ma Kui, who had been full of fierce faces just now, immediately changed his face, and the anger on his face dissipated, replaced by a look of doubt and contemplation. "Lao Miao, what do you think of what the captive just explained?" Xu didn't come up with any clue, Ma Kui got up and went into the inner room, he just asked about the whole process of the captive, and the instructor Miao Handong, who was lying on the earthen kang in the inner room to recuperate, heard it clearly, so he knew what Ma Kui meant.
Like Ma Kui, Miao Handong also frowned and pondered for a while, and after a while, he slowly spoke, "One person takes a county seat, let's not talk about the authenticity of this matter first, let's just say those Japanese strongholds around Zhangwu County, can they sit back and watch the county seat being taken?" Miao Handong knew that Ma Kui was going to send someone to the county seat to find out, but as an instructor, he naturally had the responsibility to persuade him, after all, there was a trace of weirdness in this matter.
As the captain of the guerrillas, Ma Kui is definitely not an adventurous person, and he also knows the meaning of Miao Handong's words, but the matter in front of him is definitely an opportunity, and Ma Kui is a little hesitant in his heart. "Shall we not do anything?" After pondering for a moment, Ma Kui said angrily, Miao Handong paused for a moment, and then chuckled.
"Old Ma, let's lose the Zhangzhuang Turret, let's not talk about casualties, let's talk about the loss of ammunition, do you think the idea of hitting the county town now, can the ammunition keep up?" What the sixth said just now, Miao Handong heard it clearly in the back room, but he didn't believe the confession of the sixth man, because he didn't believe in the statement that one person went down to the city, you must know that there was not only a small team of Japanese soldiers in Zhangwu County, but also 200 imperial troops.
Seeing that Ma Kui's face still showed hesitation, Miao Handong had no choice but to say gently, "It's better to send the monkeys to the county seat first, there has been no news from our two contact points in the county seat, just let the monkeys go to see the situation." "Miao Handong and Ma Kui are discussing sending scouts to the county town to find out the news, but they don't want the guerrillas' contact point in the county town, so they have already sent someone to deliver the news, and they are on their way to the guerrilla station at the moment.
Half an hour later, the monkeys, who had not left the station not far away, met Lao Zhou, the liaison officer who had left the city, and learned that the liaison had come to the city to deliver the information, and Ma Kui, who had gone to visit the wounded, immediately returned to Miao Handong. "Could it be that what the deserter of the Imperial Association Army said is true?" After Miao Handong chatted with the liaison, doubts couldn't help but rise in his heart, and his self-talk happened to be heard by Ma Kui, who entered the house. Ma Kui came into the inner room, and the liaison from the city happened to talk about the Zhangzhuang stronghold, and learned that the Zhangzhuang Gun Tower had been knocked out, and Ma Kui's heart was full of doubts.
"What? You say the Zhangzhuang turret has been unplugged? Ma Kui looked at the liaison Lao Zhou, his eyes were full of disbelief, but seeing the indisputable expression of the liaison Lao Zhou, Ma Kui believed the other party's words a little. Lao Zhou, I am used to speaking straightforwardly, you are too careful, you first tell me about the Zhangzhuang Gun Tower. Under Miao Handong's hint, Ma Kui immediately softened his tone and tone, and sat down opposite the liaison Lao Zhou.
Lao Zhou is a liaison officer in Zhangwu County, but he usually does not have direct contact with the guerrillas, and all the news from the city will be sent to the guerrillas through another liaison, and this time the stakes are so important that Lao Zhou had to personally come out to deliver information. "Actually, it was the same person who knocked down the Xiaozhangzhuang Fort and took the county seat, and I went out of the city to find you this time, and I was actually entrusted by him."
As he spoke, Lao Zhou tore the corners of his clothes hard, took out a paper roll from it and handed it to Ma Kui, "Captain Ma, our guerrillas have a thin foundation, and the last time we failed to attack the Xiaozhangzhuang Fort, there were many casualties. This thing is very important to our guerrillas, and I can only rest assured if I personally deliver it. Lao Zhou's words sounded a little clueless, Ma Kui and Miao Handong glanced at each other, and then opened the paper scroll in their hands.
"Three miles out of the city, 100 steps east of the roadside black stone, digging 2 meters deep, there are surprises." Ma Kui didn't know much, but he was not an illiterate person who was called really blind, and after asking Miao Handong a few words, he stumbled out the contents of the paper scroll. "What does that mean? What is the surprise of digging 2 meters deep? Also 100 steps east of Blackstone? The thoughtful Miao Handong already roughly understood the meaning of the contents on the paper scroll, but Ma Kui was confused.
Liaison Lao Zhou only became small at this time, "When I got this thing, I couldn't figure out what was going on, and after the person explained it to me, I understood." The contents of this scroll should be an address, to be exact. After the man conquered the county seat, he asked the surrendered Imperial Allied Army to transport all the weapons and ammunition out of the city, and so many weapons and ammunition always had to find a place to store them, and this was the address. ”
"This is the address where those weapons and ammunition are buried?" Ma Kui, who originally threw the paper roll on the earthen kang and disdained it, immediately picked up the paper roll again as carefully as a baby, how many Japanese puppet troops there were in the county, he knew very well, if all these weapons and ammunition were transported back, it would be enough for him to expand the guerrilla force to 300 people. Ma Kui carefully put the paper roll into his underwear pocket like a baby, Miao Handong and the liaison officer Lao Zhou had already talked about the affairs in the county at this moment.
"Haha, it's not what you think at all, it's really just one person who laid down the county. Although the man had been wearing a mask, I could tell from his voice that the man should not be very young, and I felt that he was only twenty years old. However, that person's skills are really powerful, one person quietly killed all the Japanese soldiers in the barracks, and also blocked the gate of the barracks, forcing a platoon of imperial troops to surrender voluntarily, which is really not something ordinary people can do. Lao Zhou's words were full of admiration for Lu Yuan, but Miao Handong's mind was not focused on this.
"Lao Zhou, let's not be kidding, can you really guarantee that the county seat is just one person?" Miao Handong straightened his face and asked Lao Zhou for verification again, although he didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, but Miao Handong became interested in this mysterious person from Lao Zhou's narrative. Lao Zhou did not express impatience with Miao Handong's questioning, but carefully described the process of communicating with Lu Yuan to Miao Handong.
"You mean, the man came straight to the door? So how does he know you're ours? Miao Handong quickly found a question from Lao Zhou's account, you must know that the guerrillas never had direct contact with Lao Zhou, just to ensure that Lao Zhou's identity would not be recognized. According to Lao Zhou, that person came to Zhangwu County for the first time, how could a person who came to Zhangwu County for the first time know Lao Zhou's identity?
Miao Handong found out the suspicious point, so that the liaison officer Lao Zhou was suddenly stunned, after getting the paper roll, he was extremely excited and only cared about sending the information to the guerrillas, but he did not think of this crucial commission. "What can I do? Could that person be a Japanese spy? You say, will he secretly follow me, and this will be sending troops to this side? Lao Zhou, whose face changed greatly, suddenly got up and got up from the chair, and his words were already a little flustered.
Ma Kui's face also changed, and in order to prevent accidents, he immediately called a few team members and secretly ordered a few words. More than a dozen guerrillas who were accustomed to taking mountain roads immediately set off from the village and carried out a detailed search along the way Lao Zhou came, but it was a pity that their efforts were in vain, and they searched until Xiaozhangzhuang, and they did not find any trace of the Japanese puppet army. The three of Ma Kui, who were anxiously waiting, learned the news that came back, and while secretly relieved, new doubts rose in their hearts.
"Old horse, without further ado, in this case, you will immediately bring someone to take a look at the position on the paper roll." Miao Handong called Ma Kui to his side and whispered. "If you can really find those weapons and ammunition, you divide the people in two, one part takes care of and carries the weapons and ammunition, and you take the rest into the city yourself. Lao Zhou said that the shops in the city are open as usual, you bring all the money we captured from the last attack on the Japanese stronghold, and buy more oil and salt and other things that can be used. ”
When he said that he wanted Ma Kui to personally lead people into the city, Miao Handong quietly pinched Ma Kui's arm, and the latter immediately nodded in understanding. After a period of busyness, Ma Kui personally led the team, leaving the village with more than 40 guerrillas and six or seven mules and horses, and went straight down the mountain road to the county seat. The position on the paper scroll is actually very eye-catching, the black stone on the side of the road is not small, as long as you are not blind, and you are walking on the official road, it is impossible not to see this black stone.
Finding the black stone, Ma Kui himself went into battle, followed the black stone eastward, counted a hundred steps in the field, and then asked his guerrillas to dig a pit on the spot. Only the three of Ma Kui knew the contents of the paper scroll, and the guerrillas who were ordered to dig a pit on the spot did not know what was going on, and it was only because of the order that no one spoke out to refute it. "Captain, I'm digging something." Just digging down to a depth of 2 meters is not a difficult task for these village-born guerrillas. There is a lot of strength in numbers, and soon, someone exclaimed that something had been dug up.
