"I emphasize again that no household is allowed to go up the mountain to collect firewood. If anyone violates the orders of the imperial army, they will be treated as anti-Japanese elements. This is your example. Come on, pull them up!"

The traitors began to harm the people again.

"I emphasize again that no household is allowed to go up the mountain to collect firewood. Anyone who violates the orders of the imperial army will be treated as an anti-Japanese element. This is your example. Come on, pull them up!" A puppet army officer shouted.

Standing with this puppet army officer were hundreds of Japanese and puppet soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition. The bayonets of the rifles in their hands shone coldly in the winter sun.

Standing opposite the Japanese and puppet troops were four to five hundred ordinary people in ragged clothes who were shivering in the cold winter.

On that day, the puppet troops dispersed to both sides. A middle-aged man who had been beaten to pieces was picked up by two puppet soldiers and pushed forward.

Then the man groaned and fell down on the cold snow.

He struggled to get up, but how could he? His legs were dragged on the ground and he could no longer exert any strength because they had been interrupted.

"Isn't this Liu Chuntian?"

"Why was he beaten like this?"

"I know, he went up the mountain to collect firewood and screamed - he was caught!"

The crowd became commotion, this person was How could they not recognize him in their town.

At this moment, with a cry of "Dad", a boy of eleven or twelve years old jumped out from the crowd.

His shouting has undoubtedly proved his relationship with this man.

Only this boy rushed out, but an older man from the same village behind him stretched out his hand and grabbed him.

The older man also said: "Child, if you want your father to live, don't go there!"

"According to the regulations of the imperial army, if anyone who dares to go up the mountain to collect firewood this winter is captured, the whole family will sit back and watch as the anti-Japanese elements are dealt with!"

Fortunately, I met me this time. I begged the imperial army to prevent him from killing him, nor did he kill his whole family.

I grew up in our town, and it is true that I am a little old with you.

But, you remember. , next time whoever dares to go up the mountain to collect firewood will not be as simple as breaking two legs!

If you don’t want to die, just stay at home. The broken house will not freeze you to death. If you dare to go up the mountain again, I guarantee that you will freeze. Die on the tree."

The puppet army officer shouted again, and then looked at the Japanese sergeant beside him.

The Japanese sergeant waved his hand expressionlessly, and the Japanese and puppet troops withdrew in a carriage.

The man had been picked up by people from the same village and headed home, followed by the boy whose eyes were red from crying.

The people in the town dispersed with lamentations and sighs.

"Who is thinking that if we are not allowed to go up the mountain to cut firewood this winter, we will freeze to death?" Someone sighed

"Why didn't Liu Chuntian's wife come out, so why did the eldest son of his family come out?" Someone else asked.

"Hey, you don't know this? His family is so poor that they only have two sets of clothes! What about the four boys in the family!" Someone else answered.

"Then it should be the girls who come out, the gentlemen have been beaten like this." said the person from before.

"Pull it down quickly. I'll come out and help you inside. It's the right thing for the child to come out." A word came out of the side.

This sentence makes so much sense.

Then, no one said anything anymore, and everyone went back to their homes and shrank back on the kang.

The kangtou is now the only place where most people have heat in their homes. This time, they are not allowed to go up the mountain to collect firewood, but they don't even dare to light the earthen stove.

The Japanese army was bullied by the anti-Japanese guerrillas and felt really shameful when they arrived at their doorstep.

not only implemented the mountain closure order thoroughly, but also transferred a brigade of Japanese troops and a regiment of puppet troops from elsewhere to start searching the mountains.

But so what?

Many of the mountain forests in Heilongjiang are virgin forests.

Although the forest is not as dense and airtight as the tropical rainforest, many places are places that humans have never reached.

Think about it, there are groups of bears squatting in warehouses like Kongyangshutun, there are wolves, and there are even Siberian tigers and Siberian leopards .

Even if there is a guide from the puppet army to lead the way, he must know the general location where the anti-Japanese guerrillas are hiding.

Otherwise, if they want to search the mountains to "suppress bandits", are the Japanese and puppet soldiers trying to compare the number of their heads with the number of trees in nature?

The large-scale search of the mountains by Japanese puppet troops only lasted for more than a week before stopping because some Japanese troops got lost in the mountains and forests.

Finally, the Japanese troops on the periphery allowed the puppet troops who were familiar with the terrain to find the lost Japanese troops. Because those Japanese troops brought too little food, more than ten of them had already starved to death.

Facts have proved that not everyone can be a hunter in the mountains and forests of Northeast China.

The puppet troops were also tortured by the Japanese army and suffered terribly, so some puppet troops came forward and said, "Imperial Army, stop searching. We haven't caught up with the big smoke bubbles yet. If we catch up with the big smoke bubbles, the losses will be much greater than this." Got it!

The Japanese army had no choice but to use the donkeys under the slope to stop the search and suppression, but the mountain closure order was resolutely carried out.

html On the 0th, the puppet troops withdrew, and it snowed again in the mountains and forests.

So the footprints left by the puppet troops searching the mountains that day were all wiped away, and it was as if nothing had happened in the mountains and forests.

Finally one day, a team appeared in the unknown mountain forest.

There were only a dozen or so people there, all holding ski blades in their hands and on skis at their feet, walking through the snowy wilderness at lightning speed.

They are Lei Kairan's team.

The person leading the group was Qiu Ying, who led Lei Kairan's team back to their original secret camp.

This time Lei Kairan and the others came out to grab food and were chased for more than 200 miles by the Japanese army. Then they cooperated with the Sanjiang guerrillas to attack the Japanese mining area, but they ran away for more than 100 miles.

Lei Kairan and the others can no longer find their way "home", and Qiu Ying is here to guide them.

When the Japanese army was searching for Lei Kairan's team in the mountains and forests, Lei Kairan's team was naturally resting.

reappeared this time with a different look.

Not only did they use skis skillfully, they even changed their outer clothes to white cloth.

This is naturally the protective color they adopt uniformly.

Lei Kairan's team skied on the snow towards "home", resting when they were tired. When it got dark, they found the secret camp where their guerrillas used to rest under the guidance of Qiu Ying.

And naturally they will not just bring the traces of their progress to the secret camp.

Whenever they were still a mile or two away from the resting place, Lei Kairan's team put away their skis and immediately changed to another tool for advancement.

And this tool turns out to be stilts!

Stilts are very common in all parts of China, and in the three northeastern provinces of there are people who walk on stilts.

The so-called stilts are just two long wooden sticks that can be tied to the feet.

However, the reason why Lei Kairan's team disappeared into the mountains and forests last time and could not be found by the Japanese army was precisely because they used stilts.

They slid their skis to the bushes where the Japanese army could not easily find traces, and everyone put on the stilts they had prepared to hide there.

Then they walked away calmly in the bushes on stilts just like those dancing yangko people.

The stilts were just two wooden sticks, and all they left on the snow were some small holes.

With the bushes as cover, the Japanese army was confused by the imprints of the skis. They never imagined that Lei Kairan's team would leave like this.

Lei Kairan and the others learned this trick from the Sanjiang guerrillas, and the Sanjiang guerrillas learned it from the Shanlin Brigade.

Lei Kairan's team just walked and stopped in the mountains and fields. On the third day, they finally appeared behind a hill.

"There are no secret camps nearby. Tonight I will take you to live in a fortress home in a town.

It looks like the weather is going to be smoky, so everyone must be careful. "Qiu Ying said to the people in Lei Kairan's team.

It was almost evening, and the sky was hazy with snowflakes, but there was a northwest wind blowing from a distance. This was the precursor of another big smoke bubble.

(Note: Big smoke bubble: blizzard)

When the wind blew the snowflakes so hard that people couldn't open their eyes, it was already dark, and Lei Kairan's team entered the town under the guidance of Qiu Ying.

At this time, they no longer used skis. , they are not afraid of leaving footprints.

Because the big smoke bubble that will stop at some time will cover up all their tracks.

But it is also because of this big smoke bubble that they will be stranded in this town.

They couldn't move in such a raging smoke.

A few minutes later, a dim kerosene lamp was lit in the room. Under the kerosene lamp, Lei Kairan's team looked in shock.

Just because. Only now did they realize that they had been to this town before.

Not only had they been there before, but this town was also the town where they came out to grab food. It was called Baoli Town!

Lei Kairan and the others were not locals. They came here every time. Someone was acting as a guide.

Last time they evacuated the town in the dark, but this time they were brought in by Qiu Ying from a very remote entrance of the town. It was so windy and snowy and it was so dark that they didn't even recognize that they were here

! The reason why they recognized this place was that they actually knew the security guard who received them!

Because this security guard turned out to be the old man who had reported the news to them!

In other words, this time they were staying. The owner of this house is that Lao Jutou!

It is undoubtedly a coincidence for Lei Kairan and the others to return to Baoli Town, but it is no coincidence that they need to live in Lao Jutou's house.

Because Lao Jutou's family is a wealthy landowner, only a wealthy family can provide food and accommodation for Lei Kairan's team at once.

And Lao Jutou was also shocked when he looked at Lei Kairan's team. He knew that his rival in the town, the old Hu family, had their food robbed. He also knew that even the four big fat pigs from that family were taken away by the anti-Japanese guerrillas.

For this reason, in Laoju! After getting the news about the loss of the old Hu family, he kept himself at home and didn't leave the house for three days.

He turned the rabbit he had brought back into a smoked rabbit.

Yes, it is smoked rabbit rather than stewed rabbit.

Why is it made into smoked rabbit instead of stewed rabbit? Because smoked rabbit is a cooked food.

This can be used to enjoy food and drinks for a longer period of time.

He drank wine at home with this smoked rabbit and pickles for three days. When he finished eating the rabbit, his old lady Ju was waiting on the Kang with her legs crossed and was responsible for pouring wine for him.

Then Lao Ju was yelling "hahaha" and "hahaha" there, cursing the Japanese devils and the old Hu family who deserved it. What the hell am I calling you a traitor? !

Can he go out in this state? No way!

When Old Hu’s family lost food and pigs, the whole family felt like his father was dead, but he was smiling happily, so wasn’t he looking for trouble?

I’m not stupid, I can get cheap but I can’t be good!

At this time, when Lao Jutou saw Lei Kairan's team dressed in white, how could he not associate it with it.

He remembered that when he was booing at that hillock, the people lying there were all wearing white clothes and white hats.

Lao Jutou looked at this anti-Japanese guerrilla team under the light of his house and was silent for a cup of tea before making a move.

Then he raised his thumb to the people of Lei Kairan's team and said sincerely: "Boys, you are amazing!"

Lao Ju's admiration was not without reason.

Of course he knew that this anti-Japanese team robbed Old Hu's family of food, killed the puppet soldiers, and extorted a batch of guns and ammunition from the puppet soldiers, and then was chased by the Japanese.

For this reason, Laojiutou is very worried about this anti-Japanese team. Anyone can see that Little Japan is powerful.

After some time, the Japanese let out the news and said that Lei Kairan's team had been completely wiped out by the Imperial Japanese Army.

The Japanese even went so far as to hang up several heads at the door of Lao Hu's compound, saying that this was the result of going against the Imperial Japanese Army.

Lao Ju was very sad about this.

How come these days, good people don’t live long and bad people live for thousands of years? !

Good people, such as the anti-Japanese guerrillas.

Bad people, like his own bastard nephew.

Lao Jutou knew that his bastard nephew did not come to his house to eat rabbit meat that night, but he actually survived that night!

That puppet army was beaten to death dozens of times, but that little beast of his own survived!

When he knew that his little beast was not dead, Lao Ju didn't even know how he felt.

Why didn't he accept the Prince of Hell when he was scolding you for being a little bastard?

But there was a kind of happiness in his heart. Could it be that his old Ju family had virtuous ancestors, so he shouldn't cut off this incense? !

But just after this incident, his nephew came to visit his house again.

Laojiu scolded him and told him to leave, but his nephew refused to leave no matter what. In the end, he knelt down in front of him in the house.

Only then did Lao Jutou feel that there was something going on, so he finally left the boy for a meal.

Lao Jutou is also a person who has seen great storms. How can he not see that his nephew has something on his mind?

So, he offered the little wine to his nephew and when he had almost finished it, the boy finally told the reason.

"Uncle! How could that Lei Kairan team be wiped out by the Japanese?!

I followed him, he was so alive and kicking!

But the Japanese was killed by the anti-Japanese guerrillas! Hundreds!

I didn't expect the anti-Japanese guerrillas to be so powerful! I heard that Lei Kairan's team led the Japanese directly to the blind bear's den in the old forest.

The Japanese died. What a tragedy!

Uncle, I know you are connected with the anti-Japanese guerrillas!

It turns out that I blindly followed the Japanese. You have to help me think of something!

Don’t say you don’t know what to do!

I just want to understand why you came home to eat rabbits that night!"

Lao Jutou then figured out that this little bastard was not stupid, after all, he dragged him home to eat rabbits. That night, the puppet troops noticed something unusual about the attack.

Old Jutou naturally denied what his nephew said.

What's more, he just knew that Lei Kairan's team was doing something in the town that night, so he just happened to encounter it.

However, he advised his nephew to stop doing evil. Doing evil is the way to death. Who do you think God will spare?

For a moment, Lao Ju was in a trance, while Lei Kairan and the others were looking at him under the kerosene lamp.

Lei Kairan and the others couldn't understand the expression on this weird old man's face after he gave a thumbs up to people like them. It was so uncertain. They didn't know what was going on in this old man's mind.

In the end Lei Kairan asked: "Uncle, please introduce to us the current situation in the town."

In Lei Kairan's view, who can guarantee that there are no puppet troops in the town now.

Not to mention the big smoke bubbles blowing outside, even if there were knives outside, it would be unreasonable for people like me to be in the same town with the Japanese and puppet troops.

Just when he asked, he saw that the old man's head was not in a daze.

The old man suddenly said: "You guys haven't been here for a few days, and you don't know what's going on in the town, so you dare to touch them. There are still Japanese in the town, why don't you kill them?!"

His words were surprising. It immediately lit up the eyes of everyone in Lei Kairan's team!

The door was opened from the outside, and the wind blew snowflakes into the house.

And there was one more person in the room.

And this person is none other than Lao Jutou’s nephew Ju Jingtang.

At this time, Ju Jingtang was stunned and speechless.

What can he say?

Just after dinner, his second aunt, Lao Ju's wife, ran to the puppet army's station.

His second aunt entered his house and sat on the floor with the door open and cried: "Jingtang, go and see your second uncle. He is lying motionless on the floor at home after drinking too much. Go and have a look." Let’s go!”

What can Ju Jingtang doubt?

He can doubt his second uncle who is as stubborn as a donkey, but he can't doubt his second aunt who has always been honest and honest!

But as soon as he entered the house, his gun was handed over, but his second uncle was sitting cross-legged on the kang and looking at him coldly!

"Second uncle, are you gaha?" Ju Jingtang knew something was wrong and asked Lao Ju with his eyes flashing.

"Didn't you say that you want to leave a way out for yourself? Now the anti-Japanese guerrillas are coming to your door.

They just want to see you. You can talk about the rest among yourself and it has nothing to do with me." Lao Ju said coldly. After

finished speaking, he moved his butt into the kang again, as if it was nothing to do with him.

Anti-Japanese guerrillas?

Ju Jingtang began to look at the people surrounding him in shock.

They were all young and younger than him, but looking at the imposing manner of holding two guns, he thought to himself that these anti-Japanese guerrillas were so young.

Moreover, there is a girl in the middle.

"Ju Jingtang, tell me which houses in your yard the Japanese and your puppet soldiers live in, and how many people live in each house.

Then it will be none of your business."

Someone After speaking, the one who spoke was naturally Lei Kairan.

Ju Jingtang looked at Lei Kairan's particularly young face, thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Excuse me, who are you -"

"There is no need to tell you who I am.

I am telling you now, you put The Japanese and puppet troops' residential defense situation has been explained clearly.

It turns out that your debt to our anti-Japanese guerrillas is settled.

I don't have time to argue with you, and I don't intend to let you betray me.

After those Japanese and puppet troops are over, you will have nothing to worry about," Lei Kairan then said slowly to Ju Jingtang.

Not to mention Lei Kairan, even Qiu Ying didn't know that there were still Japanese and puppet troops in Baoli Town at this time.

The puppet troops arrived today when the smoke bubbles were blowing.

However, due to the big smoke bubbles, neither the anti-Japanese guerrillas nor the Japanese puppets sent anyone to wander around the town.

However, this matter could not be hidden from Laojiu.

It's winter, and no one will give him a hard time because of his nephew Ju Jingtang, and he does one thing every day, wandering around town.

"Then if I tell you these things, I am betraying the truth.

How can you say that I have nothing to do with you? Are you going to tear down the bridge and kill me after crossing the river, or are you going to let me join your gang? Then you have to give us a That’s what you said.” Ju Jingtang’s eyes were sly and plausible.

Lei Kairan smiled.

Since Lao Jutou is willing to tell everything about his nephew, how could Lei Kairan not understand Ju Jingtang?

So he still smiled and said to Ju Jingtang: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you.

I just want to ask you, can you tell me now which houses the Japanese and your people live in, and who lives in each house? how many people.

You don’t have to tell me, but I want to tell you that our people are not purely anti-Japanese. We are all from the Mountain Forest Team.

Those are all people who have eaten the meat slice soup made by the people. "

When Ju Jingtang heard what Lei Kairan said, he looked at everyone in Lei Kairan's team again. He still didn't quite believe what Lei Kairan said.

In his opinion, Lei Kairan and the others are too young. As of now, he He didn't think that there were only ten people in Lei Kairan's team.

He remembered that night when Lei Kairan's team extorted the guns and ammunition of their puppet army. That Lei Kairan had a Shandong accent.

So, he did. Decided to test it out again.

Ju Jingtang did not want to fight against Japan, and he also owed the blood debt to the anti-Japanese guerrillas.

In order to survive, he was most afraid of being a loser. Besides, he had finally managed to get into the platoon leader position, and he had not yet. It's such a blessing.

What's the point of following the anti-Japanese guerrillas?

Just like the puppet army, they're doing the same job of licking blood on their swords, and they don't have enough food and drink to be chased around like rabbits. Run.

"I'm going to lose my head, right? Hehe. "Ju Jingtang said with a smile.

"If you still refuse to talk, then there is nothing to say.

Tie him up! "Lei Kairan changed his face.

Ju Jingtang knew that he couldn't resist, so let him be tied up.

He was frightened when the people behind him started to tie him up with his hands tied behind his back.

Because of this group of anti-Japanese guerrillas What they used on him was the "five-flowered tie".

The so-called five-flowered tie means that a rope buckle is wrapped around the neck.

The rope is wrapped around the arms, and then there are two rope buckles around the wrists. This is the fourth buckle.

Finally, the rope head and the rope at the neck are connected together. This is the fifth buckle, which is the "five-flower" binding method. The most domineering person is not afraid of the person being tied up escaping, and as soon as he tightens the last rope buckle, he can't move his whole body except his legs!

Ju Jingtang understands that this is when Shanlibeard kidnaps people. Commonly used techniques.

If this method is used to tie someone up, then the heart in that person’s chest is basically not far away!

“To say it or not to say it? Lei Kairan asked, "You don't have to talk nonsense, you just need to say it or not." "

"Second uncle, you can't ignore me, I'm your nephew! "Ju Jingtang was really a little panicked this time.

In his eyes, these anti-Japanese guerrillas, how come they feel the same as the bearded kidnappers in the mountains?

Lao Ju didn't even look at him, but this time He moved his butt and got off the bed.

He put on his shoes and went out.

His attitude was clear, he couldn't control it!

No one said a word to Ju Jingtang this time. The tip was directly pressed against Ju Jingtang's throat.

But the one holding the knife was a girl who looked so well-behaved. That was Zhou Rang.

"You have thought about it. In fact, you won't say anything today. It has to be said. "Zhou Rang took the tip of the knife and pushed it against Ju Jingtang's throat and said.

"If you die, the big Japanese and the Japanese will not miss you."

You are not dead, but we have crippled you. The big Japanese and the second Japanese will say that you cannot endure the punishment and tell them about their situation. You are also dead. "

Zhou Rang said slowly, and the knife in her hand was slowly thrust forward.

At this time, under the threat of death, Ju Jingtang had already ignored Zhou Rang's beauty and pleasant voice.

He suddenly He found that Zhou Rang's hand was very steady and he had no psychological burden about killing him.

The sharp tip of the knife in the hand of the evil goddess had already penetrated the skin of his throat.

But it stabbed him very hard. Proportionate.

Under the dim light, that little hand was very steady. His pain was increasing little by little, but his hand didn't even tremble at all!

"Here, how many people have these hands killed?" Ju Jingtang thought in his heart and said this involuntarily under the threat of death.

"There must be hundreds of little devils. I have never counted the second devils like you." The girl in front of him said leisurely.

Her voice is so nice, but her hands are not relaxed at all.

Blood began to trickle down, and Ju Jingtang couldn't hide even if he wanted to, because the big hands tying the rope behind him had already grabbed his hair, preventing him from moving at all.

The tip of the knife was right at Ju Jingtang's throat, pushing forward bit by bit slowly but never stopping, so much so that Ju Jingtang was afraid that the person holding his head would push his head forward again.

In that case, he could imagine the sound like a flat tire when his throat was pierced the next moment.

"I said." Ju Jingtang finally said these two words when his throat was about to be pierced by the sharp blade.

"What a damn you don't want to drink as a penalty for toasting , get some firewood ash to stop his bleeding, you lazy idiot!" The good-looking girl said a curse word in a nice voice.
