Since Zhao left, Lao Hu was like a silence, not saying a word.

In fact, since Zheng Yingqi robbed the conversation, Captain Hu realized that Zheng Yingqi seemed to be suspicious of Lao Yang. This attitude of doubting his comrades made Captain Hu very uncomfortable, but he was a wise man and knew that everything should be obeyed the overall situation. The Independent Regiment wanted to fish out the Japanese in the Baishui stronghold, which was related to the safety of thousands of comrades, and all caution was essential!

but……

Lao Hu doesn't like this kind of suspicion and this kind of distrust of the lurking comrades!

Looking at the silent Lao Hu, Zheng Yingqi guessed his dissatisfaction. He organized his words and whispered:

"If it's my fault, I will apologize like Lao Yang in the future. I also hope this is my sensitivity - but Lao Hu, Lao Yang is too suspicious!"

"suspicious?"

"He was too urgent to know if we were going to shoot the gun tower. I hope I was sensitive." Zheng Yingqi whispered.

Hearing Zheng Yingqi's explanation, Lao Hu wanted to curse himself. It was obviously Lao Yang who was eager to avenge his comrades. He held his anger and wanted to refute it. Finally, he decided to bear it and wait and see if Zheng Yingqi could prove his suspicion. He didn't think that Zheng Yingqi could ask Xiao Zhao to go back to find Xiao Zhao's cousin.

Lao Yang has been working diligently and cautiously for two years since he participated in the revolution. He must have escaped the search by the Japanese with his wit!

Zheng Yingqi is not sure whether Lao Yang has any problems, but for safety reasons, he temporarily changed the script - even if he gave up the ambush of Oda Squadron, he must not cause the team to fall due to uncontrollable factors!

More than twenty minutes later, Xiao Zhao came back and brought back a young man who was seventeen or eighteen years old and was a little immature.

Zheng Yingqi looked at Xiao Zhao in confusion, feeling dissatisfied with Xiao Zhao's actions of bringing people back.

After Xiao Zhao brought the people over, he whispered: "Comrade Zheng, this is my cousin Zhao Shuanzi, Shuanzi, this is Comrade Zheng of the Eighth Route Army. Comrade Zheng, that's it. My cousin said he had something important to tell you. If I asked him, he wouldn't tell me. If I had no choice, I would bring him here."

Xiao Zhao explained the reason for his abruptness. Zheng Yingqi looked at Zhao Shuanzi and whispered: "Little brother, do you have anything to risk coming here? There are ghosts in your village. If they find out that you are in contact with us, you will be in danger!"

Zhao Shuanzi said indifferently: "I am not afraid of the devils and traitors! Comrade, I will tell you something, but you have to agree to me join your team!"

Xiao Zhao didn't expect his cousin Shuanzi to say this suddenly. He poked his cousin and told his cousin not to talk nonsense, and whispered: "Shuanzi, how can you do this? Don't talk about conditions? Let's talk about things if you have something to do!"

"What I know must be very important. Comrade Zheng, as long as you agree to let me join your team, I will tell you immediately."

"You can join Captain Hu and his guerrillas, right? "Zheng Yingqi kicked the ball to Lao Hu. When Lao Hu was about to respond, Shuanzi rushed to say, "No, I don't want to join the guerrillas, I'm going to join the Eighth Route Army!"

"The Guerrillas are also combat units under the Eighth Route Army," Zheng Yingqi said with a giggle: "Why are you, a young comrade, so stubborn?"

"My brother and the others don't even have the Eighth Route Army uniforms. I won't go to the guerrillas. I'm going to the Eighth Route Army!" Shuanzi continued to be stubborn, and Zheng Yingqi was helpless and said, "Okay, as long as what you said is really important, I will ask our superiors to approve you to join us!"

"Okay!" Shuanzi was overjoyed, and then said something that made Lao Hu look disgusted: "Yang Dashou has surrendered to the Japanese!"

Yang Dashou is Lao Yang.

"Shuanzi, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Zhao was anxious, and Lao Hu said dissatisfied: "I said, you young man, can you stop talking nonsense in this shocking way? You slander people like this, but you have to be in charge!"

Zheng Yingqi thought in his mind whether Xiao Zhao's cousin had mastered something? Therefore, he deliberately said: "Brother, there are many people among us who are not enlightened, so it is normal to surrender to the Japanese. This is not a big deal."

"But Yang Dashou is ours!" Shuanzi directly identified Yang Dashou's identity in the face of doubts, which made Lao Hu and Xiao Zhao shudder - Lao Yang's identity is kept secret, how could Shuanzi know?

Seeing his cousin and Captain Hu shocked, Shuanzi seemed a little proud and explained: "Don't think I don't know that Yang Dashou is yours. When my brother came to the village before, I followed him quietly. He often went to Yang Dashou's place, and you would look for Yang Dashou at night, so I knew that he was yours. Don't worry, I haven't told anyone about this."

Lao Hu's expression was a little dissatisfied. The identity of the intelligence officer was discovered by an ordinary person. What made him even more angry was that his people had omitted things like a hidden connection, which made an ordinary person discover the secret!

Zheng Yingqi found that this kid was quite smart, but he cared more about Shuanzi's words, "Yang Dashou surrendered to the Japanese." He asked without hesitation: "Then why do you say he surrendered to the Japanese? It's because he often sends things to the Japanese artillery tower?"

"No," Shuanzi thought Zheng Yingqi didn't believe him, so he said his discovery like a bean poured in bamboo tube.

It turned out that after Xiao Liu and the others were ambushed that day, Shuanzi was very angry and thought of secretly smashing the Japanese with bricks to vent their anger at night. Unexpectedly, at night, several Japanese men quietly entered the village, headed straight to Yang Dashou's house, and arrested Yang Dashou.

Shuanzi thought of going to report to his cousin, but what he didn't expect was that the next day he actually saw Yang Dashou moving in the village as if nothing had happened. Shuanzi thought he had seen a ghost and decided to keep an eye on it. He quietly stared at Yang Dashou for a few days and found that Yang Dashou quietly went to the artillery building the night before yesterday.

Finally, Shuanzi said: "I'm sure now. Yang Dashou must have surrendered to the Japanese. Otherwise, how could he quietly go to the Japanese artillery tower at night? Before, he had always been to the Japanese artillery tower during the day!"

Zheng Yingqi said thoughtfully: "It seems that after Xiao Liu and the others were ambushed, the Japanese followed the clues and found Yang Dashou. After being captured, Yang Dashou rebelled and surrendered to the enemy."

Lao Hu gritted his teeth and said, "I'll arrest him for interrogation. If he really betrays me, I'll solve him with my own hands!"

"No," Zheng Yingqi stopped Lao Hu and said, "We can't alarm the snake, let's go back and discuss it."

Despite this, Zheng Yingqi still cannot be sure whether Lao Yang is betrayal - what if Zhao Shuanzi has a problem? This is equivalent to saying that he wronged his comrades! Although this may not be big in Zheng Yingqi's opinion, it is best to conduct a good investigation and make a judgment, so that he cannot wronged his own people!

He arranged for him: "Shuozi, I can't take you away for the time being. When we finish shooting this artillery tower, I will ask my superiors to approve you to join us. How about it?"

"Don't lie to me." Shuanzi said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you." Zheng Yingqi said with a smile, and said to Xiao Zhao again: "Xiao Zhao, you will go back to the village with Shuanzi. You will be hiding in Shuanzi's house for the past two days. Do you understand?"

"Comrade Zheng, you..." Xiao Zhao looked at Zheng Yingqi in surprise. No matter how stupid he was, he knew what Zheng Yingqi meant - obviously he was to stare at Shuanzi. He wanted to say that he could guarantee that his cousin had no problems, but after seeing Zheng Yingqi's stern eyes, he swallowed the words behind and promised:

"I see."

After Shuanzi and Xiao Zhao left, Lao Hu said: "I have seen you hit the artillery tower in Baizi Mountain. I feel that you are very brave, but how could you not expect that you are so cautious that even Xiao Zhao's cousin can't believe it?"

Zheng Yingqi shook his head and said, "It's not that he trusts me, but that he's afraid that young people don't know how to talk nonsense and influence our actions."

Lao Hu looked at Zheng Yingqi's tender face and thought to himself: You seem to be very big.

...

In the valley, when Li Yunlong saw Zheng Yingqi, he asked urgently:

"Why did you come back so long? Is there something wrong?"

Zheng Yingqi said: "Captain, I suspect that the intelligence officers in Laoyang Village surrendered to the enemy, so they delayed for a while..." He told Li Yunlong one by one about his experiences and judgments. After hearing this, Li Yunlong patted Zheng Yingqi on the shoulder and said:

"I did a good job and had no brains. If the intelligence officer really surrendered to the enemy, it would help us catch the Japanese. I will leave this matter to you. I will not ask about the process and will be the result. Just catch the Japanese Oda the day after tomorrow!"

Zheng Yingqi grinned bitterly. The leader of his own group really respects him!

Li Yunlong had already started to prepare - he asked someone to take the order back, and asked the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion to attack Laoyang Village after receiving the order, and must arrive before tomorrow evening. The 1st Company and the regiment headquarters directly under the company, led by Kong Jie, and wait for the Japanese at the Baishui stronghold to leave, sneak attack and seize the Baishui stronghold. The other companies and the 3rd Battalion were led by Zhao Gang, and must arrive near Longzhuang, twenty miles east of Laoyang Village the morning of the next day.

At that time, the battle will begin. As long as the Japanese in the Baishui stronghold dispatches to encircle the attacking second company, the remaining troops of the Independent Regiment will launch a counter-encirclement and ambush Oda Squadron.

"When the boy Ding Wei comes to his senses, he will find that my independent group has become neighbors with the new group. I wonder if this boy will die of euthanasia," Li Yunlong said proudly to Zheng Yingqi: "Haha, after this battle, I will have to change the cannons!"

...

During the day, Zheng Yingqi did not dare to relax and stare at the artillery tower in Laoyang Village, wanting to see if anyone would notify the Japanese in the artillery tower. However, unexpectedly, until dark, neither Yang Dashou nor Yang Sanzhuang, nor his son, contacted the Japanese in the artillery tower.

Lao Hu also felt confused. Although he was unwilling to accept the fact that Yang Dashou surrendered to the enemy emotionally, he rationally agreed with Zhao Shuanzi's words and regarded Yang Dashou as a traitor - but why did the traitor not report to the Japanese after learning about the information?

Faced with Lao Hu's confusion, Zheng Yingqi explained: "It is not ruled out that he will notify the Japanese after waiting for the exact news. Today we will go to the bottom of the tunnel and tell him that our troops will arrive tomorrow night and attack the Japanese artillery tower the day after tomorrow. Then we can see what he has to do. If there is no action, it means that this person is credible. We can continue to fool Yang Sanzhuang and his son and let the father and his son pass the information back!"

"I hope Lao Yang has no problem..." Lao Hu sighed. He really didn't want an old comrade who had participated in the guerrilla team for two years to have problems!

At night, three figures entered Laoyang Village in darkness again, namely Zheng Yingqi, Lao Hu and Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong plays Zhang Dabiao's identity. Whoever made Li Yunlong the official position here? Li Yunlong glared at him and wanted to kick him. Zheng Yingqi could only grit his teeth and let Li Yunlong participate.

Amid the owl's screams, Lao Yang opened the door and invited the three uninvited guests who came again into the house.

"Comrade Lao Yang, this is the company commander Zhang Dabiao, the company commander of the strengthening company of our independent regiment. Company commander, this is our intelligence officer Lao Yang," after Zheng Yingqi finished introducing, Li Yunlong said:

"Comrade Yang, I won't talk too much. Tell me about the situation of the artillery tower at the entrance of the village. I will avenge you for two hundred people the day after tomorrow and let the Japanese devils pay their blood debts!"

Zheng Yingqi could see clearly, and a trace of unnatural flashed across Lao Yang's face, and then he quickly said:

"Company Commander Zhang, there are two enemies in this artillery tower, a 12-man Japanese squad and a 9-man Japanese squad. There are two crooked handles and no grenade launchers, but their bullet reserves are sufficient. I went in a few times and saw three boxes of bullets. This is the picture of the artillery tower. I have prepared it for a long time. Company Commander Zhang, take a look."

As he said that, he took out a picture that had been drawn long ago. The picture was marked in detail, and even the layout of the Japanese machine gun was described. Of course, these things were of little use, after all, the crooked machine gun could move at any time.

While looking at the picture, Li Yunlong showed off his face: "Just two crooked guys? No big problem. A few days ago, our company took the artillery tower of the Baizishan Japanese and seized a 92-heavy machine gun from the Japanese. Our regiment commander was so generous that he left the heavy machine gun in our company. In addition, the two grenade launchers of our company, hehe, this artillery tower can be pulled down!"

Zheng Yingqi slandered in his heart: Team leader, you are really good at praising yourself!

"That's good!" Lao Yang said with relief. After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and quickly reminded him: "Company Commander Zhang, the Japanese in the Baishui stronghold have cars, and they can arrive for support in at most two hours. You have to be careful."

"Two hours?" Li Yunlong said proudly: "The company I brought is a reinforcement company, with 200 people, including heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. At most, I will chew this bone in one hour, and then let the Japanese in the Baishui stronghold eat dust behind me!"

Zheng Yingqi saw Li Yunlong playing freely and interrupted: "Comrade Lao Yang, the Japanese in Baishui stronghold are not a big problem. Before the sneak attack, we will cut off the Japanese telephone line first so that the Japanese in the artillery tower cannot convey the message. When they know the news, the daylily will be cold!"

"That's good, that's good," Lao Yang exhaled, as if he was relieved by his own people.

Li Yunlong said goodbye: "The day after tomorrow we will attack the artillery tower. Comrade Lao Yang, you have to cooperate with our guerrillas to prepare for evacuation of the villagers of our Lao Yang Village - I am worried that the Japanese in the Baishui stronghold will attack the people of our village!"

Lao Yang tried to stay: "I know this. Hey, Company Commander Zhang, it's so dark, why don't you leave and stay here tonight?"

"This is not OK. I came in advance, just to investigate the situation of the Japanese artillery tower. I will investigate outside tomorrow. This war is not enough to rush up. We have to understand the situation first and have a clear understanding of it!"

"Okay, then I won't try to keep you. By the way, Company Commander Zhang, I will send chickens and ducks to the Japanese artillery tower tomorrow. I will touch the situation at that time. Where will I find you tomorrow night?"

"I'll just let Xiao Zheng come over."

After the exchange was completed, the three of them left Lao Yang's house as if nothing had happened. After taking out the village, Li Yunlong looked around and said softly: "This kid is a little guilty, Lao Hu, what do you think?"

Lao Hu said in shame: "Captain Li, it was because our work was not done well, which almost caused our team to suffer a great loss!"

Obviously, Lao Hu has already determined that Lao Yang has been betrayed!

"It's not that perfect for the enemy. Lao Hu, don't blame yourself," Li Yunlong comforted and said to Zheng Yingqi: "I won't act this drama tomorrow night. You can just fool that kid. When attacking the artillery tower, catch that kid and don't let him walk. I, Li Yunlong, hate these cartilage without a spine!"

...

The next day, at noon, Yang Dashou calmly brought two chickens and a few ducks into the artillery tower. His swaggering look made Lao Hu in the secret grit his teeth. He specifically said to Zheng Yingqi: "Leave him to me, I want to solve him with my own hands!"

Of course, Zheng Yingqi had no objection - he only had one idea for the traitor:

Kill without mercy!

Some people choose to surrender to the Japanese because they have no choice but to make a living. As long as these people have not done any evil, they can indeed forgive them, but the traitor who is accomplice to the tiger and betrays themselves, and they will never forgive these two types of people!

Besides, after receiving the information sent by Li Yunlong to the extreme, Zhao Gang and Kong Jie immediately sent out the troops that had already assembled were Li Yunlong's orders. The second company commander was the most excited and led the troops to march overnight. He only sloppyly repaired for a few hours in the middle, and finally arrived outside Laoyang Village before the evening.

Zheng Yingqi, Lao Hu and the monk, quietly entered the village, secretly caught Yang Sanzhuang and his son, and locked them up to Yang Dashou's house. After a simple interrogation, Yang Sanzhuang and his son provided information to the Japanese, resulting in the sacrifice of three guerrillas and one seriously injured.

This move also expressed trust in Yang Dashou. After receiving Yang Dashou's intelligence, Zheng Yingqi asked Lao Yang to take care of the two men and asked Lao Yang to prepare for cooperation with the guerrillas to evacuate the villagers.

...

At the same time, in the Baishui stronghold.

After hearing the call from the artillery tower in Laoyang Village, Oda finally ordered: "Order the entire squadron to be prepared! At three o'clock in the morning, we set off and head to Baigouzi, 10 miles from Laoyang Village to hide. Once the Tu Eighth Route Army attacks the gun mouth of Laoyang Village tomorrow morning, we must surround them and wipe them out!"
Chapter completed!
