Hearing Li He's somewhat embarrassed words, he looked at his face a little red because he couldn't get the remuneration he promised under the flashlight. On the other side, a chuckling voice suddenly came from the family that had recovered from their previous horror. Although he didn't get the expected reply, it somewhat alleviated Li He's embarrassment.

Although Li He offered a high price, the two men did not come forward. With this chuckle, a girl stood up and said, "I can show you the way, and as for the payment, you don't have to." You, sir, seem poorer than us ordinary people. I'll lead the way, but when you're done fighting, you'll have to fix the gate of our house. You smashed it, you come to fix it, it's not a requirement, right? ”

Seeing that someone finally agreed, Li He, who was in a hurry at this time, didn't care whether this person was a man or a woman, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed. He also promised that if they needed, after the battle was over, his troops would come and help repair their house by the way. Even if he sacrificed, but only one of his subordinates would fulfill his promise, the girl smiled and did not answer when she heard Li He's assurance. And among her family, although no one dared to speak under the gun, they grabbed her hand with a dead hold to show that they didn't want her to go. It's just that the two young and middle-aged men, looking at the loaded guns and live ammunition on the opposite side, and the anti-United Nations fighters who are ready to fight at any time swallowed their saliva. That is, he did not stand up to replace the girl, and he didn't even dare to move his daughter or sister.

Looking at the frightened faces of these two men, although Li He only repeatedly assured her family that she would definitely let this girl come back safely, even if they were all sacrificed, her safety would be guaranteed. But in my heart, I look down on these two men in this family.

At this time, I'd rather let a girl's family come out, and I don't even dare to persuade some, are you still fucking old men? Li He looked down on the two in front of him very much in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly. It's hard to find someone who is willing to lead the way, in case he is angry and runs away again, won't it be worth the loss?

Compared with the two old men in her family, this girl is very determined. After breaking free of the tightly clenched hands of the family members who were obviously desperately tugging at her, trying not to let her go. After comforting them a few words, he led Li He and his troops through the hutong area in front of them that they had spent too long.

Under the guidance of this girl, Li He at least figured out where the troops around him were, and he could get closer to him by taking that road, and quickly gathered some of his troops. After his efforts, he had not yet joined the instructor, but the number of troops around him had increased to two platoons, and he learned the approximate location of the other units.

Through guò walkie-talkie communication and communication, the instructors also found a way to communicate with each other and gathered the troops together. Although there were still a few squads that could not be found, the main forces of the two companies finally got closer, and two 57 recoilless guns and a 12-mm machine gun brought into the city were also found.

finally got through the contact with his troops, and before Li He could breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Feng's phone directly chased after him. After listening to the latest order from his superiors, Li He put down the walkie-talkie in his hand and looked at the other side of the street directly opposite the entrance of the alley where he was. Flares that were raised from time to time, and searchlights that were set up on the roof of a building opposite, illuminated the entire street with an unobstructed view of the Japanese positions.

In fact, as an important town in West Manchuria, as a small county seat, Tongliao's municipal construction cannot be compared even in most of the most developed counties in South Manchuria. It has its own thermal power plant and street lights on the main street. It's just that the Japanese army was afraid that these street lights would point out the direction of attack for the Anti-Japanese Union, so they didn't turn it on at all tonight. Only some of the searchlights on the main positions remained, and more often flares were used.

Although this would cause some inconvenience to the Japanese defense, the Japanese army's main core fortifications distributed in various urban areas could control most of the surrounding areas, and they would shoot without any taboo whenever there was a disturbance. Therefore, compared to the inconvenience caused by the indication without lights, the Japanese army did not care. Anyway, they had searchlights on their main positions, and they also stockpiled a lot of flares.

After hesitating for a moment, Li He turned his head and said to the girl: "Girl, the front is the position of the Japanese army, we are about to enter the battle, the bullets on this battlefield do not have long eyes, it is too dangerous for you to continue to follow us forward." In this way, you can help us draw a map of the structure of the city and show us how to get to North Street from here. ”

Hearing Li He's words to let him go back, the girl shook her head stubbornly and said, "Sir, I know that you are a member of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. From the first gunshot outside the city, I knew you were coming. Although the Japanese say in the newspapers that you are all specialized communist wives raised by Soviet Russia, red-bearded people who kill people and set fires. ”

"But all our classmates in Tongliao Normal School know that the more fierce the people scolded by the Japanese, the more they are the real anti-Japanese team, and the more they beat them. Everyone doesn't dare to say it on the surface, but in private, they tell you all about it. Many of our classmates want to go to the north to find you and join your troops, but the Japanese blockade is too strict. ”

"A few of our classmates tried to sneak north to find you, but they were all caught and beheaded, and hung up on several major streets. Not to mention that the corpses are not allowed to be collected, even the family members have been arrested in the name of ** and bandits, and the gendarmerie is still unknown to this day. ”

"The reason why the common people dare not show you the way is that a small number of people believe the Japanese propaganda. The most fundamental thing is that when you were still on the other side of the Xiliao River, the Japanese hyped that even if you conquered Tongliao, they would not stand still. With the support of the great military power of the Japanese Empire, this Tongliao city is still Manchukuo. ”

"When they come back, if they find out that anyone is colluding with the Anti-Alliance, the whole family will be beheaded. Most of the people in the city don't believe that you are really what the Japanese newspapers say. But everyone is afraid that you will not stay long, and that the Japanese will retaliate after you leave. ”

"But the common people are not blind, these days the Japanese have brought in so many wounded people from the north of the West Liao River. With such a dense artillery sound outside the city, even their expatriates were armed and pulled into the battlefield, it showed that the Japanese were a little unable to hold on, and everyone was watching them. ”

"I believe that if you can fight from Beiman to Tongliao this time, you will definitely be able to stand your ground. So this time I came out with you, I didn't plan to go home, I want to follow you to participate in the Anti-Japanese Federation. I was born and raised in Tongliao, and I am much more familiar with this place than those who moved later. ”

"The map is dead in detail, I grew up here, and I am quite familiar with every alley and street here. I'll show you the way, and I promise to take you wherever you want to go without detours, which will save you a lot of time. ”

"And if I draw you a map, I will only solve your own problems. Don't you have other troops who need guides too? I know very well the homes of most of my classmates, and I can mobilize some of my classmates to assist your troops along the way. Isn't it better to have a living map of mine here than to just draw a map for you? ”

"We are only past the small street base where we are now, and the street in front of us was rebuilt after the old east city wall was removed, and it is far from the center of the county. I know the location of the puppet Manchurian county government and the police station, and I can take you through the middle of the alley to avoid the place where the Japanese army is heavily assembled. ”

This girl's last sentence made Li He hesitate a little. Especially the last sentence, it was very tempting for him. It's much better to bring such a living map than a normal map. Along the way, he can also mobilize her classmates to lead the way for the troops, so that even if his troops run out of touch again, they can find a place to reunite.

Although this Tongliao City is not big, it is much smaller than Harbin, but it is not the same thing to rush around. In this kind of town, where small streets and alleys are everywhere, and Hu's houses occupy most of the town's operations, a guide who is familiar with the situation in the city is even more useful than a map.

Looking at the position of the Japanese army on the other side of the street, as well as the dark houses and alleys that could not be seen and the large and small, one by one, Li He finally nodded. But he turned to the girl and said, "You come with me, but don't be left behind." ”

"As for the matter of your joining the army, the recruitment of soldiers, especially female soldiers, must be approved by the political department at the division level, and I have no right to be the master. But don't worry, what kind of student are you in the Shidao School, and you are an intellectual who is urgently needed in the army, and the division will definitely approve it. ”

"You show us the way first, and when the battle is over, I'll take you to our commissar. As long as he agrees, there should be no problem. Li Hesheng was afraid that this girl's request to join the army would not be met, so he reversed himself and explained the conscription regulations of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

After explaining, he pulled out a Southern Type 14 pistol as a trophy, handed it to the girl, and briefly taught her how to use it. He took out two wooden-handled grenades made by the Anti-Japanese Federation, and after teaching the girl how to use them by hand, she told her that if she fell behind or was scattered and encountered the Japanese army, she would unscrew the safety cover as quickly as possible, pull out the fire rope, and throw the grenade as far as she could. And find the nearest house nearby, quickly hide and don't show up.

The Anti-Union has already entered the city, and the little devil is busy fighting, so he won't have much time to hunt her down. Even if she is scattered, she will be safe as long as she hides first. Of course, there must be limited means of self-defense, and it is not a good thing for a girl to be caught by a devil if she is so beautiful.

In fact, Li He's last sentence hesitated for a while and finally didn't say it. Two grenades, a pistol, and one of the grenades were given to her in self-defense. The other grenade left was for her when she really couldn't get out.

Although I don't think there is much danger, who knows what will happen on the battlefield, and some things are better to prepare in advance. It's just that Li He hesitated for a moment, for fear of scaring people, but he didn't say it in the end.

For Li He, the unspoken reason is not only that people took such a big risk to come out to lead the way for him, but also that he wanted to protect her safety even if he tried his best. It's more that he thinks that as a man and a soldier, he must protect the safety of women and ordinary people at all times. If they are up to them for everything, then what do they need men and soldiers to do? There are some things that must be confessed, but there are many more things that you must do as a man and a soldier.
