Yang Jiwei looked carefully and found that it was the Japanese who were running towards them. From the "plaster flag" hanging on the head of their gun, he knew that the Japanese were coming. Because it was still dark, they couldn't see the Japanese's appearance clearly, but they concluded that the Japanese would definitely be related to their escort mission this time.

Yang Jiwei and Wang Yanzhong crawled on the ground, hiding on the edge of the pit, closely watching the whereabouts of the Japanese. Yang Jiwei was a little puzzled. He thought carefully about the reason why the Japanese appeared at this time: Did the Japanese know that we were handing over here? He couldn't help but ask softly: "Hiss...how are there Japanese here?"

Wang Yanzhong shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems that the comrades from the mountain must have encountered trouble, so they delayed the handover time."

"Well, we must be prepared for emergency." Yang Jiwei instructed: "Try not to shoot whenever we are not allowed to do so, so as not to expose our target and whereabouts."

"yes."

The two were nervously staring at the Japanese's every move, but they found that only three Japanese were coming. Moreover, these three Japanese were not walking swaying, but looked around for a while. They seemed to be looking for something?

Yang Jiwei and Wang Yanzhong did not know that these three "aggressive men" were made of Qi Yongzhi and two Eighth Route Army soldiers. The three of them walked with their waists for a while, and then squatted down and looked around. When they walked to a place about twenty meters away from Yang Jiwei and Wang Yanzhong, they squatted on the ground and looked around. "Crochet, crochet." A few frog cries made Yang Jiwei and Wang Yanzhong excited. "It's a comrade in the mountains." Yang Jiwei asked Wang Yanzhong to give the secret code. Wang Yanzhong learned three more owl cries.

Qi Yongzhi looked in the voice and said to the two soldiers: "I finally found it." So the three of them ran over quickly.

When the two sides met, they looked like relatives who had been together for a long time. And when Yang Jiwei and Qi Yongzhi met in Yangji Town, the two were introduced to each other by the restaurant owner Ma Yiyun. The two sides shook hands and greeted each other. Qi Yongzhi knew that Yang Jiwei and the others were anxious, so he explained: "We were blocked by the enemy as soon as we arrived at the mountain pass. There were quite a lot of Japanese and puppet troops coming this time. Judging from the enemy's posture, I roughly calculated that there were at least one team of Japanese and puppet troops in a company, which had a total of more than 200 people, and the enemy had six or seven light and heavy machine guns. It seems that the enemy came from bad people."

Yang Jiwei looked at the sky and it was about to dawn; he looked at the watch again and said, it was already five o'clock. If the hardworking family had already gotten up at this time, he thought about it and said to everyone: "According to the current situation, the enemy may notice it, and it will be dawn soon. Let's go to Yulin Village first to meet the leader and comrades. Let's talk about what happened."

Yulin Village is located in a hilly area in the middle of the mountainous area. It is a continuous mountainous area to the northwest, and about eight or nine miles away from Yangji Town to the southeast. Going south, it is flat. Although the terrain here is good, due to its sparse population and barren land, the yellow wind blows and sandstorms are everywhere during the spring and autumn and winter festivals. People here have developed small and small desolate land in the weeds. Winter wheat is mainly planted in summer, and some crops such as corn, sorghum, edamame and sweet potatoes can be planted in autumn. However, the annual harvest is very small, pitiful.

Yulin Village, as the name suggests, is full of elm trees. Perhaps because elm trees are suitable for growing in this place, there are elm trees everywhere in and outside the village, especially the elm trees outside the village are growing very densely. People often say: One land raises the other people. From ancient times to the present, people here rely on these naturally growing elm trees to support their families. In fact, elm trees are treasures. In spring, fresh elm leaves and elm seeds can be eaten. Mix a little corn flour and bran noodles and steamed them in a pot to satisfy their hunger. Elm bark can also be eaten, and making "thick noodles" is an indispensable raw material. People peel the elm bark with a knife and take it to the market to sell. The elm bark can be crushed into noodles and can be made into incense pillars to sell to pilgrims in exchange for some money to support their families.

It is precisely because the natural environment here is very conducive to concealment, so during the escort and handover, Yang Jiwei and Qi Yongzhi, under the introduction of Ma Yiyun, decided to handover in Yulin Village as the second set of plans, and specially assigned the restaurant's worker Zhang Fushun to lead the way. They agreed: If an accident occurs during the handover in Xiaosha River, they will immediately transfer to Yulin Village.

Yang Jiwei and Qi Yongzhi and the other two had just arrived at Yulin Village, and it was already dawn. They did not enter Yulin Village, but walked around the road from the north of the village to the yushu forest in the west of the village. Because Yang Jiwei and Gu Xiaolong decided not to go to the village to disturb the people, more importantly, for the sake of confidentiality, so as not to expose their whereabouts.

However, things went against my wishes. Just when Yang Jiwei and his friends found Gu Xiaolong and the leaders, now, everyone has been struggling all night, and everyone has not slept all night. At this moment, it is a time when people are trapped. Except for a few warriors who are keeping watch, they are all lying on the ground and keeping their eyes closed.

When Qi Yongzhi saw the leader reporting on the enemy's operation, he heard several gunshots near Yulin Village. Suddenly, everyone was excited, and the soldiers held the guns tightly in their hands and carefully observed the movements around them.

The situation was urgent! Hearing the gunshots were very close, and Yang Jiwei and Qi Yongzhi both believed that the gunshots were coming from the village. So Yang Jiwei ordered Gu Xiaolong and all the soldiers to protect the leaders and students to retreat to the west of the yushu Forest, because the forest became denser and denser to the foot of the mountain, which was conducive to hiding in hiding. From there, you can also enter the mountain area, but you have to go around a lot of distance according to the designated route. According to the deployment of the enemy in front of you, you can only choose this way.

Yang Jiwei considered it and said to everyone: "Everyone must be careful to hide and not make any noise. Follow the team, and the enemy may search for us." Then he called Gu Xiaolong, Wang Yanzhong and several other team backbones, together with Qi Yongzhi, and said: "Old Qi, comrades, because the situation has changed, we must change the course of action. Remember, if we are dispersed by the enemy, we will gather in Xiemazhuang in the mountains. Do you remember?"

Everyone replied in unison: "Remember."

Yang Jiwei said to Gu Xiaolong and several backbones: "Your task is very heavy and difficult. If you encounter an enemy situation, you must be calm and calm. Under any circumstances, you must also ensure the safety of the leaders and classmates, and even sacrifice your own lives."

Several soldiers said firmly: "Please rest assured and complete the mission to the death."

"Okay, let's take action." As soon as Yang Jiwei and the soldiers left, he said to Qi Yongzhi: "Comrade Lao Qi, let's go to the village to have a look."

Qi Yongzhi and the other two soldiers were wearing Japanese devils' uniforms. Yang Jiwei knew that Qi Yongzhi could speak fluent Japanese, which was very beneficial to reconnaissance, especially against ordinary devils, subordinate officers and puppet army traitors. (In the future, when Fu Liguo was engaged in armed struggle behind enemy lines in his hometown, he also had some simple Japanese language when dealing with the devils and puppet army, which he learned from Qi Yongzhi).

Qi Yongzhi said to Yang Jiwei: "The three of us are in front, please pay attention to the situation on both sides."

When they first arrived near the village, they heard the sound of the Japanese talking, and they carefully touched the enemy's direction. They went to the entrance of the village through the woods and saw that it turned out that several Japanese were laughing and making fun of a girl. The girls were so scared that they hid and begged for mercy. But the Japanese might think it was fun. The more they were afraid the girl, the more they scared her, and even used bayonets to pick the girl's clothes.

Wang Yanzhong wanted to rush over as soon as he saw him lifting his gun, but Yang Jiwei grabbed him. Wang Yanzhong said, "Company Commander, let's kill these damn people."

Yang Jiwei said: "We don't know how many Japanese devils are yet to be clear. Besides, Xiaolong and the leader have not yet gone far. If you take action at this time, you may attract the enemy. At that time, not only will we be in danger, but also will attract a large number of enemies, and the leader and his classmates will be even more dangerous."

"Company Commander, look at this girl..."

"Let's do it." Qi Yongzhi said to Yang Jiwei and Wang Yanzhong: "You can observe the enemy situation here, and you can respond if necessary. Leave these Japanese to us."

Qi Yongzhi and the two soldiers stood up to tidy up their clothes. They walked out of the woods. After a while, they heard Qi Yongzhi saying something loudly in Japanese. The Japanese immediately stopped and stood at the same place and did not dare to move. Qi Yongzhi cursed in Japanese: "Ba Geyalu!" while raising his hand and slapped the faces of several Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers were still standing attentively, shouting: "Hi! Hi! Hi!"

Wang Yanzhong looked very relieved from a distance, and he muttered in a low voice: "Good fight, kill these beasts!"

They saw Qi Yongzhi muttering something to the Japanese soldiers, maybe they were asking questions, and then several Japanese soldiers lined up and ran outside the village to the east.

When Qi Yongzhi saw the devils leaving, he waved his hand to the Shulin. Yang Jiwei and Wang Yanzhong ran over. When the girl saw that the group of devils had just left, there were still these three devils left. Two more people dressed by farmers came. They were all holding guns in their hands, but they were still so scared that they dared not move.

Yang Jiwei was almost frightened when he saw the girl. He inserted the gun around his waist, then helped the girl up and said to her, "Girl, go home and hide. Don't tell anyone about what happened today." The girl wiped her tears, then she nodded and bowed to Yang Jiwei and the others, turned around and ran home.

Qi Yongzhi said to Yang Jiwei: "Based on what the Japanese learned just now, the enemy did know that we were going to carry out the handover mission in Xiaoshahe. The Japanese and the puppet army have surrounded this place. Fortunately, you moved to Yulin Village in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. What should we do next?"

"Why is the enemy's nose so sensation? There must be a problem here." Yang Jiwei suddenly seemed to remember something, and he took a breath and said, "Hiss, not good! Lao Qi, the situation here is basically clear. Let's hurry up and chase Gu Xiaolong and the others, otherwise they will encounter danger."
Chapter completed!
