Chapter 2189 The Traitor's Destruction

Baoduigou Anti-Japanese Base.

The night was dark, and there was no sound except for the occasional wind.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are no dogs in the entire Baoduigou Anti-Japanese Base.

As for the reason here, it is not just the result of the Japanese army's raid, but because the Eighth Route Army guerrillas often act at night.

If there are dogs in the village, then when there is an unusual sound, the dog will bark. If there are many dogs, the barking will be continuous, which will alert the enemy.

And if there is a sneak attack by the Japanese and puppet troops, what can the dog do if it barks fiercely? No matter how loyal the guard dog is, it cannot withstand the enemy's bullets.

Therefore, under the advocacy of the base government, all the dogs have been killed in various villages.

The night became deeper, and it was almost midnight. At this time, the door of a family was quietly pushed open, and a person flashed out of the darkness in the house and merged into the infinite darkness outside the house.

The man walked carefully, without making any sound, but he went to an abandoned mill in the west of the village.

Where are the mechanical mills in rural China nowadays? They use the friction of two stone mills to grind wheat into flour, and then use dustpans and other traditional methods to winnow the bran off.

Originally, this mill had a stone mill, but once during the Japanese army's raid, the Japanese army captured a young soldier of the Eighth Route Army.

The young soldier refused to tell the whereabouts of the large army, and finally, the Japanese army tied one of the stone mills to the young soldier and sank him into the river.

The mill was already in tatters, the roof had collapsed, and one of the stone mills was missing, so the mill was abandoned.

In the dark, the man walked to the mill. He looked at the dark mill under the starlight and couldn't help but sighed slightly. He felt that the mill was like a monster in the dark night, and it might swallow him up at any time.

But as the saying goes, once you are in the rivers and lakes, you can't help yourself. Since you have done it, there is no regret medicine in this world.

The man carefully flashed into the mill and groped with his hands. At this time, a faint light came on. It was a flashlight covered with a red cloth.

The light flashed, and in this short time, the man's hand was stuffed under the remaining stone mill, and then quickly pulled out.

Just when the man was about to turn around and leave, there was a "chi" sound in the mill.

It was the flame of the match, but then the fire was bright, and the torch was lit.

Next was the stern shout of "Don't move" and the sound of people moving, and at the same time, the shadows of several people swaying under the light of the fire.

The man who entered the mill earlier had collapsed. Although the fire was red, his face looked particularly pale.

It was a feeling of knowing that everything was over after being discovered after doing something bad.

Since they had been caught, they were escorted back with torches this time.

However, neither the traitor who was forced back nor the people who were escorting them noticed that someone was watching them in the dark.

…

The rooster crowed and the world was bright.

The Baodugu Anti-Japanese Base Area ushered in another sunny day.

Wang Laomao, Qiu Bo, Qian Chuan'er, the three of them, had now put on the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and followed the others into a room.

The room was very large, and it was where the Eighth Route Army held meetings.

The leaders in charge of presiding over the meeting had not come in yet, so the cadres under them could naturally speak.

Wang Laomao deliberately glanced at the person opposite him, and then he exchanged glances with Qiu Bo and Qian Chuan'er that only they understood.

At this time, Wang Laomao took the initiative to speak: "Leader Xu, what do you think is the reason why my left eyelid keeps twitching?"

When Wang Laomao said this, everyone in the room laughed.

You should know that the people who came here for the meeting were not only Wang Laomao, Qiu Bo and Qian Chuan from the former Shangzhen Camp, but also some cadres of the Eighth Route Army, including Xu Lang.

And the leader Xu that Wang Laomao mentioned was naturally Xu Lang.

For some reason, or because it was not allowed to be brought to the table, Wang Laomao always called Xu Lang "Leader Xu" instead of other names.

For this reason, Xu Lang naturally protested to Wang Laomao. But according to Wang Laomao, I think you are very good at speaking and are particularly suitable to be a leader.

When Wang Laomao said this, he was serious and his attitude was extremely correct.

Even if Xu Lang wanted to pick a gift, he couldn't pick anything. After a long time, he could only let Wang Laomao call him like this.

Seeing Wang Laomao start to make trouble again, an officer of the Eighth Route Army beside him laughed and said, "Left eye twitching means good fortune, right eye twitching means disaster, then you have good luck!"

"Oh, do you Shanxi people also say this?" Wang Laomao laughed when he saw someone answering.

"What nonsense! If the eyelids twitched so accurately, why do we still command the war? Before the battle, can't we just check which eyelid twitches?" At this time, another officer of the Eighth Route Army joined in.

"What feudal superstitions!" Xu Lang finally spoke.

"Look at what Leader Xu says, he speaks with level!" Wang Laomao saw Xu Lang finally speak, so he hurriedly took over the conversation, but his next words made Xu Lang's face change, because Wang Laomao said, "Leader Xu, didn't your right eyelid twitch?"

What Wang Laomao said was really annoying.

Although the Eighth Route Army does not believe in feudal superstition, anyone with a slightly higher EQ would never say this about Xu Lang!

Other Eighth Route Army officers did not expect Wang Laomao to say such a thing, and they did not know what to say for a moment, and the scene was a bit awkward.

But at this time, the door of the house rang, and a higher-ranking Eighth Route Army officer walked in. .

The people in the room stopped talking. After all, the Eighth Route Army is the Eighth Route Army, not like what Shang Zhenying used to be. These Northeasterners who joined the Eighth Route Army can no longer be talkative.

It was just that the first and second officers walked in, and everyone was not surprised, because they were the brigade commander and political commissar of the brigade.

But when the third person showed up, there was a buzz in the room, and even an officer of the Eighth Route Army stood up and shouted in surprise: "Secretary He!"

At least everyone in the Eighth Route Army knew that Secretary He had sacrificed himself, but who would have thought that he would be back now!

The only people in the room who had the same expression were Wang Laomao, Chu Tian and Qian Chuaner.

Others' attention was on Secretary He, but the three of them were focused on Xu Lang opposite them.

If others saw Secretary He's expression as a surprise, then from the observation of Wang Laomao and the other three, Xu Lang saw Secretary He's expression as a shock.

Secretary He waved his hand to signal the people in the room to be quiet, and when he sat down in front, he shouted: "Press the traitor up!"

Just this sentence of Secretary He made the room "buzz" again, and then it became quiet.

In the current war of resistance, "traitor" is always the most sensitive word.

When everyone is united against the same enemy and working hard to move forward, who wouldn't be afraid of being stabbed in the back or shot in the back? So traitors are guilty of death.

And with Secretary He's order, when the traitor was really taken into the room, the people in the room couldn't help but "buzz" again, and then they all looked at Xu Lang.

The reason is that the traitor is Xu Lang's follower!

Xu Lang sat on the stool, but his body was shaking involuntarily, his face was pale and beads of sweat fell from his temples.

Saying that his follower became a traitor, does he have no responsibility at all? This is the most superficial thinking, and the deeper level is that Xu Lang is also a traitor, right?

"Xu Lang has confessed everything, what else do you have to say?" Secretary He asked Xu Lang at this time.

"What what do I want to say?" Xu Lang was already stuttering. He forced himself to calm down and argued, "Even if he is a traitor, what does it have to do with me?"

"He doesn't attend many meetings because he is not at a high enough level, so where does his information come from?" Secretary He said angrily, and then he waved his hand, "Suppress Xu Lang and wait for investigation!"

This is dealing with a traitor in public, and everyone else in the room was shocked.

But think about it, even if Secretary He didn't say so, Xu Lang must have been a traitor, and there must be solid evidence, so how could he be wronged?

In the room, in the shock of the Eighth Route Army officers, Xu Lang and his follower were suppressed together.

At this time, Wang Laomao muttered in a low voice: "I said it, you don't believe it even if your right eye twitches?"

Wang Laomao spoke in a low voice, and the leaders who lived upstairs only heard that they were talking, and Secretary He looked over.

Wang Laomao quickly shut his mouth, but exchanged glances with Qian Chuan Chutian and others.

Do you think Wang Laomao's initial teasing of Xu Lang was aimless?

Of course not.

They had suspected Xu Lang for a long time, but it was difficult to report to the leaders without any evidence, so they secretly sent people to keep an eye on Xu Lang, or the kind of 24-hour surveillance?

And just last night, when Xu Lang's follower secretly sent intelligence to the mill, he did not escape their surveillance.

So they knew that Xu Lang would be arrested today.

"I will tell you how Xu Lang betrayed the revolution later." Secretary He spoke at this time, but then he looked at Wang Laomao and said another sentence.

Secretary He's words made Wang Laomao and Chu Tianqian stand up and say in unison: "Really?"

Because Secretary He said: "There is news from the front, Shang Zhen is coming to us!"
