Chapter 2052: Heading

It was another morning. After breakfast, Xu Lang, who was rushing to Shang Zhenying, said to Li Shan: "They are really slow. In this weather, the people on the tower——"

Xu Lang did not finish his words, but he understood what he should understand.

On this day, although it was early autumn, the temperature was not much lower. The people on the tower were hung by ropes like that. They must have stank a long time ago!

Li Shanyi remained silent. What else could he say?

The Eighth Route Army provided support along the way and even a way to enter the county town. Shang Zhenying was responsible for getting those corpses back. This was his proposal.

Originally, after they got the intelligence, those people had died for some time. This was delayed for another two days. It would be strange if the corpses didn't stink!

But isn't it like this when people die? Whether you are an anti-Japanese hero or a traitor, your body will rot and deteriorate after death. This is the natural law between heaven and earth. From emperors and generals to peddlers and porters, no one can avoid it!

Li Shan certainly understood that the bodies of the two female comrades of the Eighth Route Army were still hanging there, but then again, since the bodies of the ten soldiers of the Northeast Army were also there, if the Northeast Army did not take action, they could only wait.

"Xiao Fuzi, when you dealt with these people before, were they also so slow?" Seeing that Li Shan did not say anything, Xu Lang turned around and asked Xiao Fuzi.

"It's okay, I haven't been so slow before. Haven't you dealt with their people before?" Xiao Fuzi kicked the "ball" back to him.

So Xu Lang had nothing to say.

In silence, the three people rushed to the battalion headquarters of the direct battalion, and at this time, Wang Laomao was already waiting there.

Behind Wang Laomao stood a row of soldiers disguised as city civilians, tall, short, fat and thin, about 30 people, and four carriages were parked next to them.

This was the action team sent by Shang Zhenying to grab the remains of the martyrs, which was agreed upon by both parties yesterday.

Compared with the silence of Li Shan and the other three, Wang Laomao seemed more enthusiastic today than yesterday.

"Look, these are the members of the action team we are looking for, all of them are good players selected from our battalion!" Wang Laomao introduced.

Just as Li Shan and the others were examining these members, Wang Laomao pointed to one of the tall and mighty soldiers and said, "Look, this is our Da Laoben, not only in our battalion, but also in our division, he is the best!"

Xu Lang looked at Da Laoben without saying a word, because he had fought with Da Laoben, he had an impression of Da Laoben.

But just as Li Shan was measuring Da Laoben, Wang Laomao said, "I am old and my legs are not very agile. I will not go to this action, Qian Chuan'er will be in charge!"

Li Shan responded with "OK", and nodded to Qian Chuan'er. They had already met yesterday.

"Let's go, everyone get on the carriage!" Qian Chuan waved his hand, and everyone got on the carriage. Under the whip of the driver, the carriage started running.

Having the carriage was different after all. A few hours later, their convoy of four carriages ran to the edge of the Northeast Army's sphere of influence.

At this time, everyone got off the carriage, and the soldier in charge of the carriage shouted and drove the carriage back.

As for why they did this, it was all agreed by Li Shan and Wang Laomao to keep their whereabouts secret.

After all, this time they were going to the county town to retrieve the body. If they were discovered by the Japanese puppets, it was needless to say what the more than 30 people would face.

However, when they arrived here, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas who had been waiting here for a long time came to meet them. Without the carriage, they changed to walking again. Although everyone still marched in a line, this time they walked on remote paths.

Walking on a small road is definitely not as fast as walking on a big road, so the marching speed was raised. Both the liaison officer of the Eighth Route Army and the soldiers of Shang Zhenying trotted on the small road in a forced marching posture.

But jogging is still running, and it is definitely a test of a person's physical strength.

And in the end, when they ran to the next rest point, the liaison officer of the Eighth Route Army, Li Shan Xiaofuzi and the special operations team of Shang Zhenying were running at the same pace. Not surprisingly, Xu Lang was left at the back.

At this time, Li Shan saw the legendary ability of the soldiers of Shang Zhenying. With this marching intensity, the Eighth Route Army was no more than that.

It seems that Shang Zhenying turned the Japanese army upside down. This is by no means a legend. It really has this ability, which can be seen from the marching ability.

Finally, it was dark, and the liaison officer took them to the edge of a village that Qianchuaner and the others didn't know, and asked everyone to wait here, while he went into the village alone.

The Eighth Route Army's intelligence network and traffic network were indeed well-organized. After a while, the traffic officer returned and led them to the village.

At this point, everyone was naturally very careful.

At this time, Qian Chuan and his men discovered one thing, that is, the village was very quiet. The people were poor, and even kerosene had to be used sparingly and the lights were turned off early, which was normal, but he didn't hear a dog or goose barking!

The traffic officer led them to a house, where someone was waiting at the door. Everyone entered in a line and finally rested in a wing room of the house.

The wing room was not small, and hay had been laid on the ground.

Everyone went to bed, drank water and ate in the dark, and the traffic officer also specifically explained where they could relieve themselves in the yard.

Everything was so silent and well-organized.

At this time, Qian Chuaner had the opportunity to whisper a few words to the traffic officer. After asking, he knew why the village was so quiet.

That didn't mean that all the people in the village were killed by the Japanese devils, but that in order to facilitate the operation of the Eighth Route Army, the people here had already disposed of their own dogs and geese and other poultry and livestock that could give warnings!

Anyone who has lived in the countryside knows that if there is a movement in the village, regardless of day or night, the dog will bark, but if someone enters their home, the big goose in the house will also quack.

Note that here each family disposed of their own geese and dogs, not the geese and dogs of each family.

What does this show? It shows that this kind of treatment is the conscious behavior of the people, and it shows that the people of the whole village support the Eighth Route Army. They protect the safety of the Eighth Route Army, just like protecting their own children. After all, the people's soldiers are not in vain!

There was no talk overnight, and they started marching again the next day.

When they saw a village in the distance at noon, the Eighth Route Army liaison officer stopped the team.

"The town ahead is called Fulai Town, and there is a Japanese puppet army artillery tower in it." The liaison officer introduced, "But this is the only way to go, and we can only go there at night."

Li Shan certainly didn't say anything, so he looked at Qian Chuan'er, the captain of the special operations team.

"Everything is arranged by the Eighth Route Army comrades." Qian Chuan'er answered straightforwardly.

So the liaison officer led everyone into a forest.

When they got here, no matter whether they ran fast or slow, they were naturally thirsty, hungry, and tired.

So, those who needed to find water found water, and those who needed to eat ate. It was impossible to light a fire, so they ate the sweet potato noodles, cakes, and other things they carried with them.

"After Fulai Town, how far is it from the county town?" Qian Chuan'er asked while eating.

"It's still six miles." The liaison officer answered.

"How many Japanese devils are there in the town? Who is the highest official? You should know this, right?" Qian Chuan'er asked casually.

"The highest official of the Japanese devils is a small captain, but he only brought more than 20 Japanese devils and more than 20 puppet soldiers." The traffic officer replied.

"Is this the only way to the county? If so, we must pass by here when we come back, right? Are your carriages ready? In this weather, people will die, you know it without saying." Qian Chuan'er said.

"The carriages for pulling corpses are ready, but you have to be careful when passing through the town." The traffic officer replied.

Qian Chuan'er didn't say anything else, but thought about it, but just when the traffic officer was about to leave, Qian Chuan'er suddenly said: "How about I go to the town with you to investigate?"
