Chapter 2067 Torch in the Dark

"Hey, bosses, why are you here again?" In the small shabby house near the city gate tower, it was not the old woman who was crying this time, but the stubborn old man who was almost crying!

He himself could not figure out how many times the Japanese and puppet troops had come to his house to search.

The puppet troops had stomped on the ground, climbed on the roof, and even the tiles on top were crushed by the puppet troops.

"Don't think about stopping until the Eighth Route Army catches you." A puppet soldier snorted.

What could the old man say? He leaned his body against the board wall tightly inside and acted helpless.

But this time the old man did not notice that it was only the puppet troops who came this time, but no Japanese troops followed, and there were puppet soldiers vigilantly scanning the outside at the door of his house.

"Okay, stop pretending here." At this time, the puppet soldier who spoke earlier suddenly walked to the old man's side.

But his next move made the old man's heart drop to his throat all of a sudden.

Because the puppet soldier suddenly reached out and knocked on the wall he was leaning against: "Brother inside, come out, we are Uncle Liu's men, we knew you were in there a long time ago."

When he said this, the stubborn old man was already confused.

It turned out that the anti-Japanese Eighth Route Army was hiding here, and people already knew it!

But the puppet soldier's words had not finished yet, and he continued to speak, and his words were like chatting with friends: "We are in the same group with you, don't shoot, of course, if you have other guns besides the lost 20-shot gun.

We brought you a set of our clothes, and we will leave the city tonight."

It is true that "there is no wall that is impenetrable in the world", not to mention that the old man's house is just a wall, and the only support of this wall is the wall next to another family.

But the searcher didn't know it once, didn't know it twice, and finally found something.

At this time, in an unknown darkness in the county town, someone was also talking.

"No, hiding like this is not a solution. I'd better look for Ma Er and the others." That was Lao Liu's voice.

"Can we get out of the city by looking for them?" That was Qian Chuan'er's voice.

"We have to find a way. If the Japanese devils search like this, they will find us sooner or later." Lao Liu said.

"Wait a little longer. I think it's quite safe here. If your brothers move, their families will be in trouble." This was Chen Hanwen's voice.

After Chen Hanwen said this, the three of them were silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Lao Liu spoke again: "This is the third day, I have never suffered this since I was a child!"

"It's the same. I have been a soldier for more than ten years and have never stood so straight." Qian Chuan'er continued.

"Very good." Chen Hanwen suddenly laughed.

"Why is it still very good?" The two people asked in confusion.

"It's not very good if you can't even pile it up." Sun Hanwen said it was very good, but the voice was full of fatigue that could not be concealed.

"This joke is not funny at all, alas." Qian Chuan sighed.

The reason why they did this was that, like Qin Chuan before, in order to avoid the search of the Japanese puppet army, the three of them also hid in the board wall.

It's just that the family they hid in was a big family, and the board wall was built with bricks, so they could not be discovered by the searching enemy.

They had nowhere to hide.

When Da Biaozi started to search the first cellar, the puppet army secretly passed the message to their people.

Of course, the puppet soldiers couldn't find them, but they would pass the message to the people they knew Lao Liu knew, and the news naturally reached Lao Liu and his ears.

So the three of them could only hide in the mechanism of the board wall, otherwise, they might really be blocked in the cellar by Da Biaozi.

A noisy, chaotic and even bloody day passed again, and as the night fell again, the county town tonight was both similar and different from the previous two nights.

Similarly, fires were lit at the city gates and streets.

There were more sentries at the city gates, including both Japanese and puppet troops, and the streets were constantly patrolled by Japanese and puppet troops with guns.

The difference was that the Japanese and puppet troops were tired and did not enter the house to search again, but it was inevitable that they would do so tomorrow.

"Everyone, be alert. I will lead you to patrol tonight, and you can have a good sleep tomorrow.

When this storm is over, I will take you to visit the brothel, and I will pay for it!" Da Biaozi, who had already changed into an officer's uniform, said loudly to his men who had been following him.

With Da Biaozi's promise, the dozen or so puppet soldiers who followed him became excited.

Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. At least in Da Biaozi's opinion, the men who can follow him now are all loyal.

Then he had to expand the puppet army team, and he had to find ways to send those guys who followed Lao Liu to the front as cannon fodder.

Of course, this is all later.

Da Biaozi was so active that he led the patrol team to patrol the streets and alleys of the county town, and when he was tired, he would find a place to rest for a while before continuing to patrol!

It was already midnight.

"Everyone, be alert. If anything happens, it will happen in the second half of the night!" Da Biaozi reminded his men again.

He was really not stupid. He was just blinded by greed. He didn't know that with the arrival of midnight, his death was also approaching.

On the west wall of the county town, there was also a pile of fire burning. Under the firelight were several Japanese and puppet soldiers holding rifles.

Although they were called Japanese and puppet troops together, the Japanese and Chinese would certainly not stand together.

At this time, Ma Er, one of the puppet soldiers, glanced at the Japanese soldiers. He saw that the Japanese soldiers were smoking together, so he took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gestured. Several puppet soldiers then moved to the back of a battlement in a tacit understanding.

However, the battlements on the city wall had two sides, but they walked to the battlement on the side close to the county town.

While smoking and lighting a cigarette, Ma Er whispered, "Da Biaozi is coming."

Following Ma Er's gaze, they saw a group of puppet soldiers holding guns and coming to the west gate under the light of a torch.

That was Da Biaozi coming to patrol the post. He came at this time every day these days.

"It's our turn, let's move!" Ma Er said, holding the cigarette diagonally.

So, he moved first, turned around and walked straight to the fire burning on the city wall. He pretended to look at the fire, and reached out to pick up a burning wood and did it in one go.

As he moved, the other puppet soldiers also moved. Of course, the puppet soldiers with him turned around and used their bodies to cover their bodies to push the bolts or pull out the box guns on their bodies.

Just next to a house below the ramp on the city wall, a puppet soldier suddenly flashed out from the darkness, holding two grenades tied together in his hands.

Of course, the Japanese army was not just on the top of the city gate tower. More than 20 Japanese soldiers were resting in this house.

At the same time, on the top of the city gate tower, a man holding a box gun climbed up the ladder carefully to the city gate tower.

After Qian Chuan'er and his men attacked the city, in order to prevent another attack, the Japanese army placed another sentry on the city gate tower. There is no doubt that this sentry must be the best shooter among the Japanese army.

Because the city gate tower is the highest point in the entire county, higher than the city wall.

If a battle breaks out again this time, the Japanese soldier on the city gate tower can use the advantage of the commanding heights to fire at the anti-Japanese fighters who appear.

It's just a pity that the Japanese army knew about the sentry Ma Er.

Ma Er led the puppet soldiers to walk up the slope, but at this moment, Ma Er, who came to see the movement first and walked back to the fire, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed a burning wood again and shook it in the air.

He grabbed it very hard, and when he raised the wood above his head, sparks fell and splashed on his hands.

But he didn't seem to notice it at all, and shook the wood violently.

It happened that the wind blew, so the flame of the burning wood was blown away, and it was like a torch in the dark, a torch of the Chinese people's unyielding anti-Japanese war!

And at the moment when the torch was shaking, gunshots suddenly rang out, and then there was a loud explosion!
