Chapter 1763 Approaching the Battlefield

Just before the village protection team took action, Wang Xiaodan and Guo Tianyou and the other four hid at the edge of a pile of firewood. There was a pigsty more than 20 meters in front of them, and more than 10 meters on the other side of the pigsty was the east gable of a long house.

To the north of that house was Chen Laocai's village, so the house in front of Wang Xiaodan corresponded to Chen Laocai's village, which was where the Japanese army's advance team and the village protection team had a gunfight.

On Wang Xiaodan's side, which was the east side, there were vegetable gardens on the north and south of the house. The vegetable gardens were separated by sparse wooden boards, and the vegetables in the fields had not grown tall yet.

To the west of this house, that is, to the north, there were some slightly shorter houses. In Wang Xiaodan's understanding, they were similar to the warehouses in the northeast.

Wang Xiaodan could now see that there were people dressed as civilians lying on the ridge of the warehouse.

There was no doubt that it was the Japanese army's advance team, and it was here that the Japanese army exchanged fire with the village protection team in the north.

There were four Japanese soldiers on the roof on the west side of this house, but that was what Wang Xiaodan and his men saw when they didn't come over. When they arrived at the east, the Japanese soldiers were already blocked by the gable of the house.

But to Wang Xiaodan's surprise, there were two people squatting with box guns on the gable of the house.

As for whether the two people were Japanese or puppet soldiers, they couldn't tell their height because they were squatting.

Wang Xiaodan was really annoyed about this. He felt that he didn't come here to investigate in person, and it really didn't work. He didn't expect that the Japanese army had put sentries on the gable of the landlord.

Do I need to touch the sentry myself? Wang Xiaodan really thought so at the time.

It's just that people are self-aware, and Wang Xiaodan also knows how much he weighs.

He is now a veteran and a courageous man, but if you ask him to kill two Japanese sentries directly, he feels that his ability is still a little worse.

Then, he can only wait.

Fortunately, they only waited for a while before the village guard team opened fire on the Japanese soldiers on the roof.

The sudden gunshots and the screams of the Japanese soldiers falling from the roof really scared the two enemies guarding the gable of the house.

But it was really a shock. Wang Xiaodan, Guo Tianyou and the others saw that the two enemies who were squatting on the ground really jumped up and ran to the north of the house.

If they didn't go now, when would they?

Wang Xiaodan and the others rushed to the gable.

The order of action of the five people was that Guo Tianyou and the others were in front and Wang Xiaodan was at the back.

The reason was, of course, that Guo Tianyou and the others were familiar with the terrain, and Wang Xiaodan had good marksmanship, and he was responsible for covering the back with a box gun.

Hearing that the Japanese army and the village guard team were fighting fiercely, Guo Tianyou did not go directly to the house on the top of the house. He took Wang Xiaodan and the others and walked forward carefully for a few houses, and stopped at the south gate of a house.

Wang Xiaodan didn't have time to care about how Tianyou entered the yard. He pointed his cannon at the west side of the house to prevent the Japanese army from coming.

When Guo Tianyou asked him to turn around, the gate of the yard was already open and Guo Tianyou was holding a knife in his hand.

Seeing that there was no one around them, Wang Xiaodan asked curiously: "How did you open this door?"

"You don't have to worry about it. I was the king of children in this area when I was a child. I know what the gate of each family looks like and how it is hung." Guo Tianyou replied.

Because of the tight time, Wang Xiaodan didn't ask again, but he didn't know that Guo Tianyou was naughty since he was a child. He brought those children to play in this area. People never went through the door to enter the yard. They all climbed over the wall.

What is the surname and name of each family? How many people are there in the family? How many houses are there? Who sleeps in each house? Where is the kitchen? Where is the toilet? Where is the warehouse? He knows almost everything.

Guo Tianyou knocked on the door again after entering the courtyard, and there was really no surprise afterwards. He just said a few simple words and the people inside opened the door.

Next, Guo Tianyou and his team of guards really took Wang Xiaodan to the west with ease.

If there were houses connected, they would go through the house. If there were no houses connected, they would observe in the house and climb over the wall when there was no one outside. Fortunately, the Japanese army's attention was attracted by the shooting from the north.

However, in this process, Wang Xiaodan found that he had overlooked a problem, that is, he forgot that many households were still occupied at this time.

At that time, most of the people lived together with their families, old and young, and the men and women who could work went to the fields to harvest wheat, so the old and young were left in each family.

But at this time, this area had become a battlefield, and the old and young in each family naturally closed the door tightly, but everyone knew that if closing the door could keep the robbers out, there would probably be no robbers in this world!

The reason why the Japanese army did not enter the houses to harm the people was that they were focused on fighting and did not have time to do so.

I hope the Japanese devils did not enter the houses of the people, otherwise, how can I fight this battle? If I use grenades to blow up the devils, won’t I blow up my old family too?

In the process of going through the houses, what Wang Xiaodan remembered most was that there was a family where all the adults went to work in the fields, leaving only a seven-year-old girl with her brother who was two years younger than her.

When they entered the house, the girl was holding her brother in her arms and hiding in the corner of the house, shivering. When the little girl saw an outsider "breaking" into the house, she thrust her thin chest forward and protected her brother behind her!

When they arrived here, Wang Xiaodan and his men were only a few dozen meters away from the place where the Japanese army and Chen Laocai were shooting at each other.

Even the guns of Chen Laocai's armored team were not so accurate. The loud gunshots outside had really scared the two girls!

Wang Xiaodan has been a brother since he was a child. He has the deepest understanding of the feeling of being helpless and can empathize with the situation of the two girls.

At the same time, he saw that the little sister was afraid but brave enough to protect her brother behind her. At that time, he felt his eyes sore. It would be great if he had such a sister to protect him since he was a child!

If Wang Xiaodan saw that the two girls were moved, he still took out a few dollars from his arms and left them there when he left the house.

After passing the two young ladies' houses, they passed two more. The gunshots that became sparse at this time were no longer very close, but close at hand.

Wang Xiaodan observed the surrounding situation again. The houses here were consistent with what Guo Tianyou and others had said before.

The house they were in now was the main house. There was a row of warehouses in front. Some Japanese soldiers were lying behind the ridge of the warehouses and shooting at Guo Laocai's manor.

At this time, Guo Tianyou took them into another house again.

Obviously, Guo Tianyou was most familiar with this house. Guo Tianyou, who was hiding behind the window of the house, just poked the window paper with his hand, reached in and pulled it a few times, and the window opened silently. Guo Tianyou naturally took Wang Xiaodan and others to jump in silently.

The house was quiet, but it was the "pop" gunshot from outside the house that reminded Wang Xiaodan that the battle was about to happen.

In addition to Wang Xiaodan, the four people in the manor protection team, including Guo Tianyou, became nervous, and even their palms holding the box guns were sweating.

But when they entered the inner room from the outer room of this house, that is, the room next to it, they were surprised to find that this house was not empty!

A man was putting a broken basin on the west wall and his ear was on the bottom of the basin, but his eyes were closed!

Wang Xiaodan and Shang Zhen had been fighting the devils for several years, and they had considerable experience. He looked at the guy who was as thin as a bamboo pole and was about the same age as Guo Tianyou. After a while, he realized that this guy was using the broken basin to listen to the movement next door!

After a while, the guy opened his eyes and carefully put the basin in his hand on the ground without making any sound.

It was only then that he noticed that something was wrong. He subconsciously turned around and naturally saw Wang Xiaodan and the others.

Wang Xiaodan was very worried that the guy would scream when he found someone with a gun in the house. In that case, he would probably be discovered by the Japanese devils outside the house or next door. That would be a close fight, which was inconsistent with his original intention of the sneak attack.

Besides, Wang Xiaodan would not have any confidence to lead a few civilians who had never fought in a war and only shot guns to fight the Japanese devils in close combat. It is estimated that at that time, let alone how to fight, there are only two words left, that is: fight with all your strength!

But then, something happened that surprised Wang Xiaodan again. The guy who was as thin as a bamboo in front of him was frightened when he saw someone suddenly enter the house, and he really opened his mouth wide.

But at the same time, he probably saw Guo Tianyou and other people he knew, so he opened his mouth wide but held it back, or pulled back the breath he exhaled, so that it made a sound like a bellows!

As the saying goes, spilled water cannot be collected, and the smell released cannot be pulled back, but people really pulled it back!

"Mule, what are you doing?" At this time, Wang Xiaodan heard Guo Tianyou ask.

It seems that Guo Tianyou knows this guy with a wretched appearance, and they are very familiar with each other!

Just imagine, if they are not familiar with each other, who would call others "mule"?

Mules are stronger than horses and as tall as horses, but they have long ears like donkeys.

Because mules are the offspring of horses and donkeys!

Let’s not care whether its father or mother is a horse or a donkey. The key is that mules are infertile. So if someone can be called a “mule” and that person is not angry, do you think the two people are familiar or not?

Guo Tianyou asked a question, and Wang Xiaodan, who originally found this “mule” funny, couldn’t help but get nervous after the mule’s answer.

Because the wretched guy in front of him answered: “There are Japanese people next door, and the old lady and the little girl are in the house.”
