Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

"Oh, we just entered the city today, how can we know what the situation is like inside the city! If you, the shopkeeper, hadn't told us, we would still be kept in the dark! Oh, if we had known it would be like this, we would not have come out today no matter what you said!" Dong Duoyu pouted angrily, his face full of unhappiness and complaints.

Xu Fan on the side showed a helpless look, and hurriedly comforted: "Wife, I am also in the dark! We both came directly from the village, and we haven't even been to the township. Who would have thought that this county town is so complicated! Why don't we buy what we need and then go home quickly? It feels really unsafe outside!"

As they were talking, a man in a long gown walked out from the back of the shop slowly and said, "My two guests, to be honest, we will be closing the shop and leaving here in a while. The wind direction in the city is not right recently, and we plan to go back to the village to avoid the wind. So if you need anything, you must hurry up and buy it."

Hearing this, the woman's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She was a little terrified and couldn't help asking, "Dad, has the situation really become so serious?"

The man sighed deeply, frowned and said, "Didn't you notice that the young apprentices in the theater have disappeared? In my opinion, they will definitely make some earth-shattering moves tonight!"

"Our current store is so close to the theater. If we are not careful, we might be dragged into it and suffer the consequences. So, it is better for us to leave here as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble."

After hearing what the man said, Xu Fan still appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually secretly alert in his heart.

He turned calmly to Dong Duoyu beside him and said softly, "Wife, hurry up and choose, the shopkeeper and his wife are leaving."

Dong Duoyu, who was standing aside, heard Xu Fan's urging and did not dare to delay any longer.

She hurriedly glanced at the dazzling array of colorful fabrics in front of her, and her eyes finally fixed on a piece of cute pink fabric.

This pink fabric is soft in texture and bright in color, which makes people happy at first sight.

Dong Duoyu thought that if he used it to make an exquisite little skirt for Jiang Jiyun, the child would definitely like it.

So, she pointed to the pink cloth without hesitation and showed it to the shopkeeper, indicating that she wanted it.

Seeing this, Xu Fan quickly took out money from his pocket, paid the bill, then pulled Dong Duoyu up and hurriedly left the store.

The two of them wandered around the city, walking in quiet, deserted alleys.

Along the way, Xu Fan remained highly vigilant, looking back from time to time to make sure no one was following him.

After going around in circles for a long time, Xu Fan finally confirmed that there was nothing unusual behind him. He breathed a sigh of relief and led Dong Duoyu back to the small courtyard in the west of the city.

As soon as he entered the yard, Xu Fan couldn't wait to tell Qi Feng, who took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Ma Chao.

After the call was connected, Qi Feng handed the phone to Xu Fan and said, "Xu Fan, tell Ma Chao about the incident immediately. Tell him in detail what you just saw in the city about the theater, so that he can prepare in advance."

Xu Fan responded, indicating that he understood, and then took the phone to tell Ma Chao about the unexpected situation in the city.

After Ma Chao learned the news, he anxiously went to find He Runming, who was responsible for arranging personnel to transport weapons and ammunition, and Captain Gu here.

Finally, he found He Runming and Captain Gu among a large group of people being moved. Ma Chao couldn't wait to tell them everything that had happened in the theater.

After listening to Ma Chao's story, He Runming was shocked and asked in disbelief: "Captain Gu, why didn't Hu Zi come back to report such an important matter? What is going on?"

Captain Gu shook his head helplessly and replied, "It's not me who keeps in touch with Hu Zi. I'm afraid only the regiment commander and his men know the specific situation."

Just as they were talking, suddenly a young soldier came running towards them from a distance, panting.

Before he could even gain a firm foothold, the young soldier shouted, "Captain Gu, the political commissar ordered you to speed up. Today's action plan needs to be implemented ahead of schedule."

Hearing what he said, Captain Gu and He Runming looked at each other, their faces instantly becoming serious. Obviously, something unexpected had happened.

After Ma Chao and his men helped to move things, they went to the guerrillas' camp together.

As soon as they arrived there, they saw Captain Qin standing there. He greeted Ma Chao and others into the temporary office.

Political Commissar Guan noticed the arrival of Ma Chao and his group and quickly made some tea and put it on the table. He then said, "Comrade Ma, thank you so much for the weapons, ammunition and food you sent today."

"No need to thank me. We are just following orders from above." Ma Chao spoke on behalf of Jiang Wenming and the others.

"I may have to trouble your comrades for help. Could you please send someone to secretly watch over the theater? Nearly half of the people in the theater are comrades in our own team." Political Commissar Guan said worriedly.

"How about our people disguise themselves and go into the city?" He Runming said in a low voice.

"No, you don't know that there are Japanese troops standing guard at the city gates everywhere. When we came out, the county town had already restricted people from leaving but not entering. If you go there now, you will only attract the Japanese's attention." Ma Chao reminded He Runming.

"What should we do? I'm worried that Lao Liu and the others will die together with those devils." He Runming said worriedly.

Captain Qin frowned and said, "Then let someone find a way to contact them and tell them not to act rashly. I believe Lao Liu and the others will obey your orders."

Ma Chao took out two sets of telephones and handed them to Political Commissar Guan, and then used his own phone to contact Xu Fan and the others. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have any code words for contacting me? I can send someone to inform them not to act rashly, but there is no proof that they will trust our people?"

"Ma Chao, Xiaoyun and I have completed our mission. Let's go back and deliver the letter. It will be more credible with your handwritten letter." Jiang Wenming suggested after being pinched on the thigh by Jiang Jiyun.

"Are you going back to the city?" Ma Chao looked at them worriedly.

"Brother Xu and his men are few in number, so the two of us can go back and support them. You know we have a way to get in." Jiang Jiyun was worried that there were too many Japanese devils in the county town, and Xu Fan and his men would not be able to hold on.

"It's too late. Xu Fan said there was a big explosion at the theater." Ma Chao put down his phone and sighed.

When Captain Qin and Political Commissar Guan heard what Ma Chao said, their eyes turned red with anger. Captain Qin angrily pulled out the pistol from his waist and ran out.
