1942, I lived on hunting

After walking for about 3 hours, Li Hao arrived at the mouth of the valley. The mountains on both sides became lower. This kind of mountain is common in hilly areas. It can no longer be called a mountain, but a hillside. Li Hao arrived at the mouth of the valley and walked easily to the hillside to look far away and check what was happening in the outside world.

Li Hao looked around and saw an endless plain through the night vision goggles. This is the heart of the Central Plains of the North China Plain, a place that military strategists must fight for and it is also a place of war!

The North China Plain is the most densely populated area in my country, with numerous villages dotted across the plain. Li Hao planned to visit the nearest village first.

There is a small village at the exit of the canyon. Li Hao zoomed in with a night vision goggles to observe. The village is not big, with dozens of brick or adobe houses and some thatched animal sheds. There are no lights and no people in the village. However, there are two brick-built artillery towers at the entrance of the village. Searchlights are installed on the artillery towers, but they are not turned on, and no one is on duty. It seems that the Japanese or traitors here have become smart. They are probably afraid of being attacked by the guerrillas and have become cowards.

Li Hao could easily sneak into the village, but there was no need to do so. He simply bypassed it and headed southeast. He walked through several villages but did not enter any until he saw a group of people approaching from a distance.

This group of more than a dozen people were dressed neatly, of different ages, and carried some weapons on their backs, but most of them were cold weapons such as swords and spears. There were only 3.4 rifles, and there were also a few Mauser pistols. It looked extremely messy.

There were three people in the front, standing in a triangle formation and searching forward. There were about ten people in the middle, including wounded people, who were being carried on their backs. Behind them were two people holding rifles, who kept turning their heads to observe the situation behind them.

The direction they were heading was the village not far to the left and front of Li Hao. Li Hao turned his sight and scanned the village with thermal imaging mode. There were only two families left in the village, and there was no heat source in the rest of the houses. One of the families was well-off, living in a courtyard with blue bricks and black tiles. There were quite a few people in the family, more than a dozen big and small. The other family was much shabbier, with only two adobe houses and a straw shed. There were only two people in the family, and judging by their figures, they might be an elderly couple.

It was probably two or three o'clock in the morning, and everyone in the village was lying in bed sleeping. There were no dogs in the village, so no one would notice someone approaching.

Li Hao felt that they might be the legendary plain guerrillas. In fact, there was no such thing as the plain guerrillas originally, but later because of a movie, this name was widely known and recognized by everyone. In fact, the plain guerrillas were some armed work teams and guerrillas behind enemy lines that were active on the North China Plain at that time. There is no specific statement about the prototype of the double-gun Li Xiangyang in later generations. Some people think that it may be Li Ziqing, who was born in Liuzhuang Village, Xushui County, Hebei Province in 1915. Li Ziqing joined the anti-Japanese armed forces in 1938 and served as the district guerrilla leader, county brigade leader, commander of the 590th Regiment of a certain infantry division, and deputy commander of the Cangzhou Military Sub-district. Some people also believe that the prototype of Li Xiangyang is Comrade Zhen Fengshan, who was born in Dongzhugu Village, south of Dingxian County, Hebei Province (now Dingzhou City) in 1903. Similarly, some people believe that the prototype is the combat hero Guo Xing, a native of Jinzhang Village, Gaozhuang Township, Huixian City, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, and the former commander of the Northern Xinjiang Military Region. In the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhu Muzhi followed the armed work team to interview and wrote a long report "The People's Banner in the Areas Occupied by Chiang Kai-shek's Army - Recording the Model Armed Work Team of Guo Xing in the Taihang Heroes Meeting"; in the 50s, the deeds of the armed work team behind enemy lines became the material for the novel "Gunshots on the Plain". It is said that the movie "Plain Guerrillas" was adapted from this novel, and Xinxiang at that time was the capital of Pingyuan Province (later the province was abolished), so the movie was named "Plain Guerrillas". Of course, some people think it is wrong. The plain in the name of the movie refers to the entire North China Plain, not Pingyuan Province. No matter which hero is the prototype, they are all our heroes and our most lovely people.

The movie doesn't specifically say who it is. But when it comes to making a movie, don't take it too seriously!

There are many different opinions, so I won’t go into details!

------Dividing line----

Li Hao walked quickly towards the village, hoping to find a suitable place to hide before the group of people arrived, to see if these people were guerrillas. If they were, he would help them if conditions allowed, and if not, he would see what the situation was. But if they were bandits, he would not be so easy to talk to, and he also needed some weapons.

If they were guerrillas, they would most likely seek help from the family of only the old couple. Most guerrillas came from poor families and generally did not deal with landlords and wealthy people. Moreover, ordinary people were more willing to help the guerrillas and regarded these teams as their own people.

The other family was obviously well-off. In this year of disaster, all the family members were well-off. They did not flee, nor did they worry about their safety. Not only did they not have anyone on guard, they did not even have a dog. Li Hao did not believe that there was no trick!

Li Hao originally wanted to hide on the roof of the old couple's house, but after thinking carefully, he felt that it was not appropriate. This group of people looked quite professional. If he was in charge, when entering a village that might be dangerous, he would send people to go in first to conduct reconnaissance and eliminate the danger, and then let most people enter, and some people would stay outside for reconnaissance and alert. Those who entered the reconnaissance in advance would also occupy the commanding heights in the village and control the village. The most convenient commanding height in the village to observe the surrounding situation was the roof of the old couple's house. As long as you follow a wooden ladder placed diagonally in the corner of the wall, you can get up in a few steps.

So Li Hao immediately changed his strategy and climbed up a large tree. The distance was not too far, just right to see the situation in the yard, but after all, there were branches on the tree to block the full surveillance, so the person in charge of the alert would definitely not choose this position.

Li Hao has night vision glasses, and in infrared mode he can see the surroundings through the tree trunks. These branches do not cause him any trouble, but instead give him a better view.

After a while, two figures tiptoed into the village. After walking around, one of them retreated, while the other hid in a corner, listening to the noise with his ears tilted.

Then a group of people quietly sneaked in and stopped outside the old couple's yard. A nimble black figure leaped over the low wall with one hand, came to the door and knocked on the door: Da, Dada, Da, Dada, Dada, Dada! It was as rhythmic as sending a radio code.

After a while, an old man pushed open the door and whispered hello to the black figure, who then went to open the courtyard gate and invited them in. The wounded were carried into the house first, followed by two people. The others left the yard and hid in a corner to keep watch.

Li Hao was about 40 meters away from them, and he dared not move. Through thermal imaging, he saw the old man in the room talking to two young figures, one of whom was wearing glasses and the other had a big beard. But he didn't understand lip reading, so he didn't know what they were saying.

Li Hao silently said "system" in his heart.

"What's wrong, Li Hao?"

"Can you translate what they are saying through the images in my night vision goggles?"

"Okay, wait a minute!"

The old man asked: Captain Li, what's going on?

The bearded man replied: We encountered the puppet army on the road and had a battle. We were unprepared and suffered a lot, so we retreated after fighting for a while.

The elderly asked: What should we do next?

The bearded man replied: We have a mission from above. We will go back to the mountain first and then go back to the base. The two wounded soldiers will stay and live in the cellar.

The old man asked: Is the injury serious? Have you applied medicine?

Big Beard: It's not easy! There is no medicine, not on me, and there is no medicine at the base. It's a bumpy road to take them back to the mountains, and there is no way to go. I can only leave them here with you.

Elderly: You can’t buy medicine in the county town now. The Japanese and traitors have strict control.

Bearded Man: Try your best!

Glasses: Are the Japanese keeping a tight control on Yamaguchi recently?

Elderly: Why isn’t it tight? No one is allowed to pass. The night before yesterday, someone tried to sneak through and alarmed the puppet army. The puppet army on the artillery tower suddenly turned on the searchlight and found them. They shot and killed four or five of them and threw them into the ditch.

Glasses: Are there still Japanese soldiers on the turret? Or are there only puppet troops guarding it?

Elderly: There are no Japanese soldiers now. They have all gone to the county town and come to inspect from time to time. Once they catch the puppet soldiers being lazy, they will immediately give them a slap in the face. I heard that a puppet soldier in a nearby artillery tower was stabbed to death by the Japanese with a bayonet. They said he was a spy of the armed work team. His body is still hanging on the artillery tower.

Glasses: I'll leave you some food and money when I leave, and let the wounded return to the team after they recover. Can you still buy food now?

Old man: There is indeed not much food at home, but don't worry, even if I starve to death, I will not let the wounded go without food. My son has connections in the county, and a small amount of food can still be bought. It's just that it's not good food, even some sweet potatoes, beans, and corn are hard to buy. Now the Japanese eat worse, they used to eat only rice and flour, but now they are scrambling to eat corn, not to mention the puppet army!

Glasses: How many families are left in the village? Is that traitor Lao Bala still in the village?

Elderly person: Still alive. He’s the only family around here that has food. In the past, all the people living around here were his tenants. They were forced by him to sell their children to make a living, and then there was this famine. Some left, some died. We are the only family left living in the same village with him.

Big Beard: Although it is dark under the lamp, and no one would expect that the wounded are hiding under the nose of a big traitor, but you still have to be careful in normal times. Be careful when buying food and medicine. If it really doesn’t work, just give up and don’t endanger the safety of you two old people.

Old man: I see. Old Scar often walks around with his two beastly sons carrying guns. If he finds me, I'm not afraid of death, but the wounded will die. I will definitely be careful!

Glasses: OK uncle, it’s getting late now and we still need to cross the blockade, so we need to set off early.
