The sun is shining through the shade between the leaves, like stars twinkling in the sky, a little dazzling, but very crystal clear and beautiful, revealing an elusive tranquility. The light and shadow shining down are faintly swaying left and right in the breeze, and the woods are

At the end, the endless green seems a bit empty.

Li Yuan led the people out of the reeds and into the woods. He was deeply moved. More than half a year had passed since the Songhu blockade, but not much had changed here.

I saw that I had been chased by the Japs and ran through this forest from Dutou Village. It was a familiar place. The Japs had previously ambushed and chased me. Traces of the battle could still be seen occasionally.

Li Yuan took Fang Cheng and Chen Yong in front and kept observing with telescopes.

Not surprisingly, there may be guerrilla sentries in these woods. It would be uneconomical if they were accidentally shot. The group was cautious, and Li Yuan did not explain why he personally served as the vanguard.

Yang Ping is a soldier brought out by Li Yuan himself. The training method is similar. There should be no big problem if you pass these peripheral posts. I have never heard that Yang Ping's armed forces have grown stronger. I heard from Lao Shen that there seems to be a fight.

After a few battles, the number of people became smaller.

Chen Yong made a gesture: "There is someone in the woods east of the road."

This place is not far from Dutou Village. There is a pair of cold eyes hidden deep in the woods, staring at the road in the distance to the north. There is a team marching on the road from north to south. There are almost a team of more than ten Japanese and a platoon of more than thirty.

A human security force.

"Are these devils taking medicine? There are so many people running back and forth every day. Our station is almost on the main road." A deep voice came from the bushes in the woods.

A response came from another tree nearby: "That's right, it seems that we have to find a new location for our station. I think the place in the city is good."

"Forget it, there are more Japs in the city, and many comrades have been lost. Let's see what happens. I don't know what these Japs are going to do. Looking at their hurry, they seem to be going for an encirclement and suppression. I don't know where.

A guerrilla group is in trouble again, we have to report the situation to Squad Leader Yang."

"Okay, I'll go back first and you keep an eye on it first. Oh, no, someone is coming from the west. Wait a minute. They seem to be traitors who maintain the association. They are all dressed in black." A figure slipped down from the tree.

"No, these traitors didn't take the main road, but came from the woods. It's a bit like a sweep. They came from the west, which is our direction. We need to retreat quickly."

Two young men dressed as ordinary people, holding rifles and hunched over, slowly began to retreat eastward through the bushes. As the agile sentry retreated, he climbed up the tree from time to time to look at the direction of the man in black, and then jumped down.

.

"It doesn't seem right. Those men in black didn't reach the intersection and have stopped now. Fortunately, they are observing the whereabouts of the Japanese. They may not be traitors."

"Not a traitor? They are probably members of the military commander. No one in our area dares to come except the military commander. Forget it, the squad leader said to try not to deal with them, those people will be in trouble and stabbing in the back at every turn, so we should retreat first.

.”

The two of them retreated deeper into the forest and waited there to see if the men in black were coming towards them. This forest was very empty. Once someone saw the truth, just the two of them could attack them at any time.

The Japanese and the security forces made dumplings.

The two of them were lying on a high ground again.

"We are in the woods. Just be careful of those black-clothed ghosts across the way. The Japanese security forces have no way of knowing we are here. No, those black-clothed guys have binoculars and may have spotted me. They were looking in our direction just now.

"

"No way? It's so far away. If they don't go out to greet the security forces, they must not be traitors. Maybe they have other purposes. The devils may be disguised. Didn't I hear about it some time ago? What did the devils do to the mainland?

Are you going to advance into the team? Better be careful and retreat first."

"I don't think it's a good idea to retreat like this. If those people chase us, wouldn't they chase us into our lair?"

"It's just the dozen or so of them. We can deal with it, okay? What are we afraid of? It's just that those Japs and the security forces are nearby, which is a bit of a problem. They will definitely come after the gunshots are fired."

"How about we wait until those security forces leave before we take action. After the battle, we run west. If the Japanese security forces notice the fighting here, it will be too late to come over for reinforcements. They will definitely pursue us westward."

"If it's a traitor, your idea is good, but what if it's a Japanese advance team? Do you think we have a chance of winning?"

"Isn't it right? Just give it a beating, right?"

"This is called caution. Do you understand? We are in enemy-occupied areas and we have to conserve our strength. Shanghai often asks us to carry out missions. If it weren't for Squad Leader Yang, we guerrillas might have been wiped out by the Japanese.

"

"Those Kuomintang defeated troops were too inhumane. Not only did they not help, they also always made trouble for us."

"Can you blame others for this? They occupied Dianshan Lake first, and they had money and guns. They suddenly transformed themselves into guerrillas of the national army. Let's go later and not compete with them for territory. We have fewer people."

If you have fewer guns, you can’t compare.”

"I still think we should go back and report the situation first and let the monitor make up his mind."

"Why are you so timid? I think it's better to beat this group first. If they are traitors, can't we hand over a few more guns and get more bullets?"

"Okay, then I'll listen to you and do it."

The two figures then retreated down the hill and began to find a place to prepare.

While the two were talking, two black figures were slowly approaching from behind them. The two sentries stepped back, just in time to keep approaching the black figures.

The two sentries were quite skillful in their movements. They found a small hole and one of them lay down in it. The other covered him with fallen leaves on the ground and waited for the group of men in black on the opposite side to come over.

They didn't even notice that three men in black had circled through the woods to the south and were already behind them.

This was entirely because the Japanese security forces passed by and attracted their attention. At the same time, a group of men in black appeared in the woods to the west, which gave Li Yuan and Chen Yong Fangcheng the opportunity to go around from the woods to the south.

The sentry on the ground was covered with leaves. Another sentry held a gun and began to retreat, preparing to move behind a tree.

Suddenly, a big hand stretched out from behind the tree and covered his mouth tightly. A bayonet was placed across his neck. The sentry stiffened and did not dare to struggle anymore. He was so worried that it was not good.

Maybe if you encounter a Japanese advance team, you have to notify the other sentry.

The rifle in my hand was not loaded with bullets. It would be too late to pull the bolt. I had an idea and immediately threw the gun to the ground, hoping to use the sound to alert my comrades in front.

To his surprise, the gun did not fall to the ground. Another hand grabbed the gun belt and lifted it up.

The black figure slowly moved towards the hidden comrade. He had no choice but to resist and struggled hard. He found that except for the knife on his neck, which seemed to be pressed tighter, his hands were also held by a pair of powerful hands. They were extremely powerful and could not move at all.

A master must be a master.

The person who captured him was Chen Yong. Chen Yong looked small and his strength was not much worse than that of Li Yuan. How could this sentry be his opponent?

Li Yuan gestured to the telescope in the distance, and then lay down next to the sentry.
