Chapter 2054 A New Plan to Exchange Life for Death

"Mom, go watch the door." The sixth uncle said to his mother.

The old lady agreed, and sat at the gate of the courtyard with her bound feet and crutches. There was her thread basket, which was just right for sewing shoes at the door.

"Do you really want to knock down this artillery tower?" Li Shan asked Qian Chuan'er in a low voice in the room.

Qian Chuan'er nodded and asked back: "Do you think my plan will work?"

Li Shan pondered: "According to your plan, the difficulty is indeed much smaller and safer.

But you suddenly changed the action plan, don't you need to give me an explanation?" At this point, Li Shan's eyes lit up and stared at Qian Chuan'er's eyes!

Qian Chuan'er did not avoid Li Shan's gaze, but he was sure now that he really would not go to the county to rob the remains of the martyrs!

He had a new battle plan, that is, to outsmart the Japanese artillery tower in Fulai Town and capture the Japanese squad leader alive, but to use the Japanese squad leader to exchange for the remains of the martyrs! That is to exchange the living for the dead!

Why is this happening? In fact, there is only one reason, that is, not only Qian Chuan'er, but also Wang Laomao and all the others, are conflicted when they learn that the Eighth Route Army is going to cooperate with them to recover the remains.

On the one hand, they no longer trust the Eighth Route Army.

Or to be precise, they do not distrust the Eighth Route Army, but they are worried that the traitor in the Eighth Route Army who has not revealed his identity will send their actions to the Japanese army.

The reason why they think there are traitors in the Eighth Route Army is just because of a sentence that Lu Guo asked unintentionally from a puppet soldier who was never killed by him. The puppet soldier said that they were here to catch a woman!

This sentence alone is enough to alert all of Wang Laomao and others.

The Japanese puppet army came to Wujiapo to catch a woman, and the woman who went to Wujiapo can only refer to Leng Xiaozhi, and Sun Baoer was just a helper found by Leng Xiaozhi.

How did the Japanese puppet army know that Leng Xiaozhi would come to Wujiapo to find Shang Zhen?

That can only mean that someone in the Eighth Route Army passed the news back to the Japanese Army, and that person's rank must not be low, because with Leng Xiaozhi's cadre level in the Eighth Route Army, it is difficult for people below her to know her whereabouts.

Shang Zhenying still relies on Leng Xiaozhi for contact with the Eighth Route Army, and now that Leng Xiaozhi has disappeared, they suspect that there is a traitor in the Eighth Route Army. How can Wang Laomao dare to put his mind at ease and cooperate closely with the Eighth Route Army as before?

It is for this reason that when Li Shan mentioned to Wang Laomao that the Eighth Route Army provided intelligence and their battalion was responsible for taking back the remains of the martyrs, Wang Laomao only hummed and hawed on the surface.

What is the most feared thing in war? The most feared thing is to be stabbed from behind by the enemy, and the traitor is the one who stabs the knife!

On the other hand, since the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to provide them with intelligence and support them in action, they are also tempted.

Of course, they want to take back the remains of Shen Mugen and Leng Xiaozhi, the martyrs.

The Japanese devils hung the remains of the martyrs on the city gate tower. On the one hand, it was a public display to slap their battalion in the face, and on the other hand, it might be a bait to lure them into a trap.

But can they not go there just because the Japanese army has set up a trap?

No! That is the Japanese devils slapping their Shang Zhen battalion in the face!

Because they are conflicted, Wang Laomao and four company commanders including Qiu Bo have been in Shang Zhen for a day. In the end, although Qian Chuan'er was asked to lead the people out, he was also told to act according to circumstances.

War has always been so cruel. Whether it is Shen Mugen or Leng Xiaozhi, people are gone, and they always have to think about the living.

The fact is just as a certain Chinese general said, there is no war without death, it is just a matter of how many people die.

Even if it is the winning side, it is very common to sacrifice a small part of the troops to contain the majority of the enemy in order to achieve the final victory.

Because they were worried about traitors in the Eighth Route Army, Qian Chuan'er and his men were extremely careful during the march, fearing that the news of their actions would be leaked.

When Qian Chuan'er arrived at Fulai Town and heard that there was a Japanese squad leader guarding the Japanese artillery tower here, he first thought that if there were really traitors in the Eighth Route Army, even if they succeeded in robbing the remains, this was the only way for them to go back. If the Japanese army blocked them here, they would not be able to go back, so he asked the courier to take him around the town.

Li Shan was worried that he just followed the courier to the town, so he took the initiative to follow him.

And the sixth uncle was the Eighth Route Army's bastion household in the town.

When the puppet soldiers came to the sixth uncle's house to discuss with the old lady about catching the pig, they happened to be outside the yard.

Because the old lady had a loud voice, they heard most of what happened outside the yard.

Originally, after seeing the terrain, Qian Chuan'er had the idea of ​​capturing the Japanese squad leader alive to exchange for the remains of the martyrs.

However, he was worried that the Japanese squad leader was too low-ranking and the Japanese army would not exchange with them.

But when he heard that the Japanese squad leader was actually the nephew of the Japanese battalion commander in the county, he dared to confirm that as long as the Japanese squad leader was captured, even if he was dead! The Japanese army would exchange for the remains of the martyrs!

Qian Chuan'er did not understand philosophy.

If it was just a coincidence that the Japanese squad leader was the nephew of the Japanese battalion commander, it was inevitable that the various anti-Japanese forces cooperated to find such a combat opportunity.

And he suddenly changed the action of snatching the remains of the martyrs into an action of snatching living people, which not only achieved their goal of getting the remains back but also minimized the risk of traitors!

How could the traitors in the Eighth Route Army think that their actions would suddenly change? He didn't even have the chance to pass on information.

Everyone was worried about the traitor. Although Qian Chuan'er didn't dare to guarantee that Li Shan was not a traitor, he could let Li Shan know about this new plan.

At the same time, he strictly controlled Li Shan's actions. He didn't believe it. If Li Shan was really a traitor, what kind of monster could he play under his nose with such a tight time!

Everything was calculated. They calculated the battle of Shang Zhenying, but now it involves traitors, so they have to calculate even more!

And now Li Shan also clearly felt that Qian Chuan'er suddenly changed the battle plan, which must be another idea. Since people have asked, Qian Chuan'er doesn't want to hide it anymore.

After his eyes met with Li Shan's for a while, Qian Chuan'er did not directly answer Li Shan's question but asked: "There must be an explanation. Tell me first whether my new combat plan is feasible or not?"

"Yes, take that Japanese squad leader back and let the Japanese devils take the initiative to exchange, which is both material and face!" Li Shan answered affirmatively.

"If you say it's okay, then I will tell you frankly why I suddenly changed the plan." Qian Chuan'er stared at Li Shan and answered.

Then he moved closer to Li Shan and said in an almost silent voice in Li Shan's ear: "There is a traitor in your Eighth Route Army!"
