Chapter 42 The Devils Retreat

At dawn, several motorcycles and cars drove out of the gate. The cars were loaded with food and various treasures stolen by the Japanese. Teams of Japanese soldiers ran behind the cars with guns on their backs. If you have a sharp eye, you can see that they all used

The hands were covering the trigger frame, but the eyes of these Japanese were full of horror. They could only lower their heads and walk away quickly. The wolf-like eyes before were no longer seen.

Zhao Hu and Lao Shao appeared at the alley. When they saw the Japanese team leaving, they immediately laughed: "Did you see that? I guess the Japanese will definitely run away."

Lao Shao's beard trembled: "You, what did you do at night? All by yourself, alone..."

"Don't worry, the Japs won't come. Go and call someone quickly. I've told you who to call, right? Tell them to go to the county office quickly. I'll wait there to prevent others from snatching things.

"

In fact, Zhao Hu was also very jealous of the wealth that the Japs had stolen, but there was really not enough time at night, and now he had to make room for the warehouse, so he had to take the overall situation into consideration and let the Japs go first, and wait until the arsenal was built and the bullets were produced to eliminate them.

There are far more than these hundred or ten Japs.

Lin Yating went to the village to have dinner last night and took a hot bath. The combination of wind and rain and sleeping in the open made her feel uncomfortable all the time.

Logically speaking, she should be able to fall asleep soon after eating and taking a bath, but she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about whether Xiao Zhao would be in danger, and she stayed in confusion until dawn.

, but scenes of Zhao Hu and the Japanese fighting for money still appeared from time to time in his sleep.

Suddenly, she found that when Zhao Hu was stabbing, a Japanese machine gunner next to him had quietly aimed his gun at him. She wanted to shout but couldn't. She was so anxious that she sat up suddenly. When she opened her eyes, she found that there was someone outside.

The sun was already high, but there was a lively noise outside the yard.

"Xiao Zhao, I really didn't expect to move so many arms and supplies to the basement. This time I have done a great job. I just don't know where the devils got these machines and supplies."

"I think maybe the Japanese found that the railway was blocked and temporarily put it in the county warehouse. Anyway, we are considered to be prosperous this time..."

When Lin Yating heard this, she wondered who it was if it wasn't Zhao Hu's voice. This guy was actually talking and laughing, which made her worry for nothing in the middle of the night. Thinking about it, she got up and hurriedly put on her cotton-padded clothes and went out. As soon as she arrived outside the hospital, she saw many people

The villagers were pushing a wheelbarrow, which contained boxes of ammunition, bundles of copper wires, and disassembled mechanical parts. Could this guy have gone to rob the Japanese again?

"Zhao Hu..." A clear female voice sounded, causing Zhao Hu to stop abruptly. Turning his head, he found Lin Yating standing in the door, her eyes red, and she hesitated to speak.

Seeing everyone looking at each other, Lin Yating's pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she turned around and ran towards the courtyard. Lao Shao was a man, so he turned around and said loudly: "Captain Zhao has something to discuss, so we guys must first transport the supplies to the village ancestral hall.

Go ahead and let me register..."

Lin Yating covered her face with her hands and felt her face getting hot: "What should I do? What should I do? I have made a fool of myself, but I am five years older than him, a full five years..."

"What exactly five years old?" A voice suddenly rang in her ears, causing Lin Yating to scream in surprise. When she turned around, she saw Zhao Hu looking at her with a smile.

Lin Yating couldn't bear it any longer, so she jumped on her and started beating her: "You little guy, you didn't even say a word when you came back, which made me worry all night. Do you know that I didn't dare to sleep all night? Ugh..." Beating and beating.

, she actually started crying in Zhao Hu’s arms. She had been on tenterhooks ever since she went to war. Later, she followed Zhao Hu, wandering on the line of life and death day and night. Today, she finally let go of all her thoughts, so her inner monologue couldn’t help but reveal itself.

come out.

Zhao Hu watched Lin Yating crying and actually fell asleep in his arms. Under her long eyelashes, there were still two crystal tears hanging. Yes, she was too tired. In the eyes of others, she was still a girl.

, you have already taken on the responsibility of a company, come and go, no one says anything, and you have to worry about the safety of your family all the time. It is really not easy!

Zhao Hu carried Lin Yating into the house and put her on the bed again. She was too light. She was nearly 1.7 meters tall and weighed less than 90 pounds. She did not scream during the whole journey, whether she was hungry, cold, rainy, or eating dry food.

I cried out bitterly and tiredly. Which young lady from a wealthy family can endure such hardship?

He helped her tuck the quilt, stood on the bedside and said softly: "Yating, from now on, I will be your patron saint!"

The door slowly closed, and Lin Yating's pretty eyes suddenly opened, with a smile on her lips: "I thought you were always an idiot?"

At night, a row of torches illuminated the simple road, and wheelbarrows lined up to drive south. Whether they were fellow villagers or soldiers, everyone had a warm smile on their face. The Japanese retreated without a fight, and no one was injured.

The county seat was retaken and a large number of weapons, including those of the puppet troops, were seized. This kind of victory was not obtained casually and was enough to be published in the newspapers.

Looking back, he saw Lin Yating walking with a female member of the Women's Rescue Society. The two were whispering, but their eyes were glanced at him from time to time. Zhao Hu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This eldest sister, look at

It has already sunk in.

I turned around and saw Lao Shao, with gray beard and hair, walking in front of the unicycle with his head held high and his chest high. His lean body seemed to be full of fighting spirit.

"Mr. Shao, where are you planning to stay next?"

Lao Shao didn't look back and said: "Now there is a panic everywhere, and my hometown has been occupied by the Japanese. Let's stay in the army for the time being. At least I know a few words and can use some energy, right?"

Zhao Hu smiled slightly. It seemed that Captain Gao's lesson was effective, so he shook his head: "How can it be so? The old man not only remembers good accounts, and all the materials are in good condition, but he is also good at leading infrastructure construction. This is very important in our Eighth Route Army."

But he is an incredible talent. How about I report this to my superiors and stay in our arsenal as a bookkeeper? Besides, we will still count on Mr. Shao to contribute to many construction projects in the future."

Lao Shao stroked his beard and said: "Since Captain Zhao thinks so highly of the old man, I won't be pretentious and just stay and make some contributions to the anti-Japanese cause!"

Zhao Hu was secretly happy. He knew that this old man was extraordinary just by looking at the picture yesterday. When he went to the scene, he found that every bunker and every building was extremely well designed, and the warehouse and basement were even more impregnable.

, if we attack forcefully from the outside, we really can’t take it down without sacrificing a lot of people.

With the convenience of the highway, it didn't take long to reach the 70-80 mile road. At the entrance of Shiguai Village, a large group of cadres and soldiers were waiting early. After listening to Captain Gao's report, Commander Ni, who was staying at the headquarters, came to the entrance of the village in person.

, shook hands with the people who came to deliver the supplies one by one. When they saw Zhao Hu and Lin Yating after delivering the team, they burst into laughter: "Haha, I just said that you two are lucky. No, as soon as I heard that you

Mr. Lin became anxious about the news and insisted that I return him. The mountains are high and the road is far away. Where can I go? Don’t worry, the eight roads in the world are one family. You can stay at our rear with peace of mind. Yan’an also allows us to each

The troops have set up an arsenal and asked the headquarters to produce 10,000 rifles in the near future. This is also an important task for our army. Xiao Zhao, you have to shoulder the burden first. We now have machines, raw materials, and so many more

Copper, it doesn’t take much effort to produce weapons, right?”

Commander Ni specially ordered the logistics staff to give the two of them a midnight snack, and said to several cadres: "Xiao Zhao is a treasure of our army and a master of military engineering. You must protect him. You must not

There is an error."

Zhao Hu's face turned red: "Chief, I also called here all the way. He is not so delicate, but Qiao Zhinan, who came with me, is really a treasure. He is a senior chemical expert who studied in Germany. Please invite

Chief, please take good care of me."

"It's not mentioned." Commander Ni waved his hand: "We can't even invite such high-level experts. It just so happens that our ordnance industry unit doesn't have a single chemist. From now on, Qiao Zhinan will not only be an expert, but also a teacher! We must take this opportunity to cultivate

There is a large number of talents. I will send a telegram to the headquarters and Yan'an to ask for people. Whether they are college students or high school students, the more the better. By the way, you guys have a rest first, and I will take you to select the location for the arsenal tomorrow."

Zhao Hu was a little confused. Didn't this arsenal have to wait for more than half a year to be completed? Did he advance the process?

In fact, what he didn't know was that after Commander Ni saw the large amount of supplies he brought, he had an idea. The repair shop of the 115th Division should not be too eye-catching. Although the equipment is simple, people can do it on their own.

As for reloading bullets, Commander Nie's area in the north is close to the railway and has many coal mines. A lot of machinery and equipment have been seized this time. There are only the 129th Division. There are no important personnel and no machinery. Xiao Zhao has arrived at the end of the field.

If you don't stay, the teacher will scold you.

At this time, the one who was most annoyed was Commander Lin. Since Zhao Hu and Lin Yating were lost, many people were sent to search but to no avail. However, later I heard that someone had sent a report in clear code, and I vaguely guessed that it might be Zhao Hu, but there was no one in the division.

People believed that this guy would still send the report, so he left it alone.

Today, he heard that the two men actually arrived at the 129th Division and brought a large number of confidential documents of the Japanese army. Only then did he connect it with the previous events. He also heard that the two men had also seized a large amount of equipment and weapons from a county town, which made him even more uneasy.

, fearing that this treasure would be snatched away by Lao Liu and not return it, he repeatedly urged Deputy Commander Luo to send a report asking for the person.
