Chapter 249: The ghost actually appeared

Songjiaji is located more than ten miles southwest of Xinyang City. After exiting Xinyang City, an official road leads directly to Songjiaji and passes by the town. Therefore, once a war breaks out in the remittance warehouse of the Japanese supplies in Songjiaji, the Japanese in Xinyang City can be reinforced within half an hour.

Zhao Xiaoshuan used to be a hunter in the Tianlong Village area. Since Cao Manhe's blacksmith raised a big banner on Tianlong Mountain, Zhao Xiaoshuan's hunting on the mountain has not been very smooth. Although Cao's blacksmith from Tianlong Village did not deliberately make things difficult for them, other small bandits are not easy to deal with.

A few months ago, Zhao Xiaoshuan suddenly heard that Tianlong Village is not a bandit nest, but a regiment of national troops stationed. Originally, Zhao Xiaoshuan didn't care about who was in Tianlong Mountain, but when the Japanese encircled Tianlong Mountain, he witnessed the Japanese's poisoning of the people in the village at the foot of the mountain. Zhao Xiaoshuan, who had a blood surged into his heart, used his own hunting rifle to hunt two Japanese. When he was discovered and chased by the Japanese, he was rescued by the soldiers of the secret service regiment. Since then, Zhao Xiaoshuan gave up his hunting life and started his military life.

Adapted by the Pioneer Brigade, Zhao Xiaoshuan was incorporated into Xu Hu's reconnaissance battalion due to his good marksmanship and became a squad leader in the reconnaissance company and rows.

There are only nine soldiers in Zhao Xiaoshuan's class, including himself. However, all of these nine soldiers were born in hunters. Needless to mention the shooting skills, everyone is also very vigilant and observes the terrain and situation very carefully.

This time, Zhao Xiaoshuan's hunter squad was appointed by Xu Hu as the Sharp Knife Squad, responsible for the exploration and reconnaissance of the situation. Therefore, Zhao Xiaoshuan divided the nine people in their squad into three groups, and there were no three people in a group to search and advance about a thousand meters apart.

Zhao Xiaoshuan brought two soldiers Rongda and Qianmao as a group. They walked at the forefront of the reconnaissance team and were the real tip of the entire raid team.

After leaving the control area of ​​Motianzhai, Zhao Xiaoshuan felt aroused. Although they all avoided the Japanese stationed, they were now in the Japanese defense zone and were likely to bump into the Japanese patrol team. Behind Zhao Xiaoshuan's squad, most of Xu Hu's reconnaissance battalion was about five miles away, followed closely behind.

When they walked out of a mountain, a small village appeared in front of Zhao Xiaoshuan. If they passed through the middle of the village, they would inevitably be discovered by the people in the village. In this case, the order for a hidden march issued by Peng Dezhu could not be realized. However, if they wanted to get out of this mountain, they would return from the other side of the mountain, so that they would go around dozens of miles. Zhao Xiaoshuan was a little embarrassed, so he asked Rongda to return and report the situation to Xu Hu.

Xu Hu was also unsure of what to do, and it was worth sending scouts to ask Peng Dezhu for instructions. Soon, Peng Dezhu's order arrived, ordering Xu Hu and the others to stand by, wait for darkness, and quietly go around the village.

After Xu Hu received the order, in order to avoid the team being exposed, he ordered the team led by Zhao Xiaoshuan to stay at the foot of the mountain next to the village to observe the situation. The remaining six soldiers all retreated to the mountain to hide.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting darker, the smoke from the cooking stove in the village had risen, and the people in the village were returning to the village from different directions. Zhao Xiaoshuan, Rongda, Qian Mao and three others were lying in a bush, looking at the situation in the village.

The sky gradually became dimming, and there were no villagers walking around in the village. Zhao Xiaoshuan signaled Rongda and Qian Mao, and then the three of them quietly touched the village.

When Zhao Xiaoshuan and the others were about to approach the village, a team suddenly came from the road north of the village. The sky was very dim, and Zhao Xiaoshuan could not see clearly what the team was outfit, so he immediately signaled Rongda and Qianmao to hide.

Zhao Xiaoshuan and the other two had just rushed into the grass on the roadside when the team approached. Zhao Xiaoshuan looked at it and it was actually a small team of Japanese soldiers, which scared him and sweated coldly.

If the three of them walked into the village just now, they would definitely be blocked by the Japanese. All three of them were sacrificed for a small matter. However, their raid team was completely exposed to the Japanese.

The Japanese did not notice Zhao Xiaoshuan and the others. They did not stop and drove directly into the village. Not long after the Japanese entered the village, they immediately made this originally quiet small mountain village a mess.

"Bang!Bang!Bang!"

The sound of gongs ringing in the village, and a Chinese shout came out. Zhao Xiaoshuan understood that this should be the maintenance president of the village, and was summoning the villagers in the village under the order of the Japanese.

"Rongda!" Zhao Xiaoshuan turned his head and shouted in a low voice.

"Squad Leader!" Rongda moved his body and brought himself closer to Zhao Xiaoshuan.

"You touch it back from behind and report the situation here to the battalion commander. Remember, tell the battalion commander that the Japanese should have a small team of about thirty or forty people." Zhao Xiaoshuan whispered to Rongda.

"Yes!" After Rongda answered, he quietly moved his body backwards.

The small mountain village in front of Zhao Xiaoshuan is called Tugaotun, with a total of about four or five hundred people. The villagers in the village live by farming and hunting. Since this place is on the edge of the mountain, everyone who enters the mountain has to pass by. Although the village is small, there are many people passing by. Therefore, after the Japanese came, they first placed a maintenance president in this village.

The maintenance president of Tugaotun is called Gao Bencai, who was the former custodian in this village. After the Japanese came, he changed from the position of the maintenance president to the maintenance president.

The Japanese often come here, but they are all the Japanese passing by on patrols and never stop in the village. Moreover, the Japanese usually come during the day. However, for some reason, the Japanese actually came when it was dark, and after they arrived, they immediately knocked on the door and broke through doors.

Gao Bencai was having dinner at home. When he heard the sound from the village, he hurriedly threw down half of his bowl of porridge in his hand and rushed to the street. As soon as Gao Bencai rushed out of the yard, a Japanese lieutenant and a few Japanese soldiers came over. Gao Bencai hurriedly bowed his waist and stepped forward to explain his identity to the Japanese.

A traitor translator who was following the Japanese lieutenant told the Japanese lieutenant that Gao Bencai was the maintenance president of Tugaotun. The Japanese lieutenant immediately ordered Gao Bencai to prepare food for the people in the village. Gao Bencai's family was not spared, so he had to beat the gong and summon the villagers to prepare things for the Japanese.

A small team of Japanese soldiers was found in a small village at the foot of the mountain. This situation was soon reported to Peng Dezhu through Xu Hu. Peng Dezhu immediately determined that this was just a Japanese patrol team. However, the Japanese patrol team actually appeared here, which he did not expect.

The nearest Japanese devils here are only the Japanese garrisons in Xinyang. However, in places like this, Peng Dezhu has sent people to reconnaissance for a long time. Generally, there will be only a Japanese patrol team during the day. Therefore, when Zhao Xiaoshuan discovered that there was a village, he would order the team to wait until it passed after dark.

However, as soon as it got dark, a Japanese patrol team appeared in the village ahead, which was very unconventional. Peng Dezhu smoked his pipe and frowned and pondered.

Since he is an abnormality, Peng Dezhu may have said this sentence when he was in a private school, but now he absolutely cannot remember it. However, he still instinctively believed that this pair of Japanese soldiers who appeared in the village must not be the Japanese troops in Xinyang.

After Chai Yunci ordered the scouts sent by Xu Hu to go back, he walked over to Peng Dezhu and said to him: "Company Commander, if it really doesn't work, we'll take a detour. Although it's delayed a little time, it won't be discovered!" Liu Wenxue, Li Tieshu and Chai Yunci, the old men of the independent company, still habitually called Peng Dezhu Company Commander, which seemed to mark their special treatment.

Peng Dezhu turned around when he heard the sound, saw Chai Yunci, and knocked his bag on his feet and said, "No! If you take a detour, you will have to walk at least one more day. Don't talk about Dr. Liu and Deputy Brigade Commander Li Xiao and others worried that even if it detours, there will be no problems and no Japanese will be encountered?"

"Then destroy them! It's just a small team of Japanese soldiers, and it's very far from the Japanese station."

Peng Dezhu was about to walk back, but when he heard this, he turned around and was stunned for a glance at Chai Yunci, saying, "Why don't you think about it? The Japanese usually act during the day and suddenly appear tonight. Can you say, do you dare to guarantee that there will be no Japanese behind this small team of Japanese soldiers or not far away?"

Chai Yunci scratched his head and said in disappointment: "What should we do? Should we continue to wait until the Japanese leave?"

Peng Dezhu did not respond to Chai Yunci because he had no better way in his mind. He had considered the suggestion that Chai Yunci just made. However, detours are absolutely not feasible, and this can only increase greater risks. Eliminating this few Japanese soldiers should be the most reliable way. However, Peng Dezhu thought that even if they wiped out all the Japanese soldiers, their whereabouts would be completely exposed, and it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no traitors in the village.

As time passed by bit by bit, the sky became darker and darker. Peng Dezhu finally chose, believing in the people of the village. The reason for this is that he was betting that the villagers in the village had one and never forget the hearts of his ancestors.

Peng Dezhu made this decision a little late, which would have become something he would regret for the rest of his life. If he had made up such a decision earlier, the people of Tugaotun would not have been so much harmed.
