"We are planning to catch two more while we are looking for you two."

Another soldier, Da Li, then added, "Okay now, before we take action, you two will bring back an American company commander first."

"No," the soldier Xiao Gao said with a smile, "I thought I had to stay here for one night."

"Time is urgent this time and the task is urgent." Squad leader Lin took a bowl of porridge and took a sip. "Everyone, please eat something to fill your stomach. We will go back in an hour."

When Squad Leader Lin spoke, everyone naturally had no objections. However, Chen Qi took the initiative to get close to the prisoner Brendan, speaking English with a strong accent and some grammatical errors, and chatted with the former.

"Chen Qi, you should learn American from Wei Ran." Zhao Shengli said while drinking porridge, "He speaks American really well."

"Comrade Wei Ran, can you speak American?" Chen Qi asked in surprise.

"I heard it with my own ears," Zhao Shengli said on the side. He could still argue with Comrade Leng Buding in American.

"Comrade Leng Buding?" Squad Leader Lin and the two soldiers sitting around the prisoner looked confused, "What kind of stupid name is this?"

"What's the matter? My name is Braden! You've already been diverted to grandma's house." Chen Qi corrected him with a wry smile.

"No light? Then it's just a waste of time..." the warrior known as Da Li muttered.

"Don't joke about the prisoner's name."

Squad leader Lin gave a gentle reminder, "Eat quickly, Chen Qi, and don't use him to practice American. When we go back, let Comrade Wei Ran teach you. Now hurry up and eat."

Hearing this, Chen Qi brought his lunch box to Wei Ran and asked curiously, "Comrade Wei Ran, who did you learn this American from?"

“Taught by a few friends”

Wei Ran responded vaguely, then asked, "What about you? Where did you learn American?"

"My wife taught me"

Chen Qi sat down against the wall and explained, "My daughter-in-law's father went to England to study abroad when he was young. Before the little devils came in, the old man was a wealthy landlord in the family. My daughter-in-law learned from him.

After learning English for several years, we, the children of our neighbors who like to study and want to be literate, can not only go to their homes to listen, but also take care of a meal."

"What happened next?" Wei Ran asked curiously. Not only him, but also Zhao Shengli and others were listening with stunned ears.

"Nothing happened later"

Chen Qi said while sipping the hot stick noodle porridge, "Later, when Peiping fell, their old man dispersed his family wealth and bought a lot of large knives, guns, etc. for our local area.

But those guys didn't have enough special numbers. Later, the little Japs took a bus from Peiping south to hit us.

That old gentleman! With his brothers and a few other gentlemen, they held the gun on the embankment for almost an hour!

I heard from my father that when the old man was killed by the Japs, his spine was very straight. Except for a half-grown boy, all the boys in the family were killed by the Japs."

"What happened next?" Zhao Shengli asked after taking a bite of pickle dumplings.

"Later, some of their daughters-in-law ran away, and some of them threw themselves into the river with them. At that time, my grandfather and my father were both local doctors, and they were family friends with their family.

My daughter-in-law's grandfather set the house on fire after entrusting her to my father. I still remember it clearly now. The old man was almost seventy years old. He sat on the master's chair in the main room and shouted, "Every man has his duty."

'Burn yourself alive."

Chen Qi sighed when he said this, "In order to survive, my father and mother took me and my wife Jing Yin to flee to Shaanxi like begging for food."

"You two got married later?"

Squad leader Lin asked with some envy. At the same time, he did not forget to distribute the cooked chicken soup to everyone, and even put the two chicken legs with the most meat into the lunch boxes of the captives Brendan and Wei Ran. Zhao Shengli also

Share a piece of the roasted cornmeal pancake with everyone.

While these two were busy, Wei Ran also distributed the chicken legs and meat pieces in the lunch box to everyone except Brendan.

"What are you doing?" Chen Qi asked dissatisfied.

"Hurry up and tell me about you and your wife." Wei Ran took a big bite of the pancake, "I haven't eaten chicken since I was a child. After eating it, I feel itchy all over."

"Really?" Zhao Shengli asked suspiciously.

"How can this thing be fake?"

Wei Ran took another big bite of the pancake, "I can also drink some soup and nibble on a chicken paw and it will make me itchy all night. Stop talking about this, Chen Qi, tell me about you and your wife."

"What else is there to say?"

Chen Qi spread his hands, "We got married after liberation, and she also went to work as a teacher in our local school. Originally, I planned to open a clinic at home, but then I heard that I wanted to go abroad to fight the American Japanese. I thought I would

My wife and I also learned a few words in foreign language, maybe I can put them to use."

"Can your wife give it up?" Warrior Da Li joked while chewing on the chicken neck.

"My wife is very naughty. She wishes she could kill a few American devils with her own hands."

Chen Qi shook his head dumbfounded, "Her family is young, and they are all very hot-tempered. If she hadn't been pregnant at that time, I guess she would have signed up to join the army first."

"You, my daughter-in-law, have given you a lot of face!"

Squad Leader Lin said with emotion, but for some reason, Wei Ran faintly heard a hint of sadness in his tone. Obviously, Squad Leader Lin is also a person with a story.

"Guess what my wife said to me before I set off?"

Chen Qi couldn't help but have an uncontrollable smile on his face, "The woman told me that when I was free, I could help her catch some American prisoners who were good at grinding and farming. She said that there was a shortage of them at home.

Here are some long-term workers who don’t spend any money. Listen! It’s still the same as the landlords’ houses before!”

Before Chen Qi finished speaking, everyone in this small shack, except the captive Brendan who didn't know why, couldn't help but laugh out loud. At the same time, they subconsciously looked at the only American present.

.

No one knew what was wrong with Brendan. Not only did he laugh stupidly, his dirty face was even full of pride.

"Chen Qi, I think this long-term worker is pretty good."

Wei Ran laughed and joked, "I don't know if he can farm, but I guess it would be no problem to build a house and build an airport."

"The small area in our village is not big enough to build the airport." Chen Qi grinned and responded with a deliberately distressed look on his face, "And there is only one long-term worker, so it will take until the Year of the Monkey to build the airport?"

As soon as these words came out, the shack was filled with laughter again, and Brendan, who had almost eaten the chicken legs, looked even more proud.

"OK OK"

Squad Leader Lin, who also couldn't hold back his laughter, pressed his hands and said, "We don't want to make fun of the prisoners. Chen Qi, you have to tell your wife that the landlord's behavior in the past is even more unacceptable."

"She doesn't think as much now as she did before."

Chen Qi repeatedly made assurances, "Now she is looking forward to my return after the war every day, and thanks to Comrade Wei Ran taking a photo of me a few days ago, after it is developed and sent back, she will probably feel at ease."

.”

"Speaking of this"

Wei Ran raised his hand, "Chen Qi, do you still have enough film in the camera? If so, when we get back, can we arrange a photo for everyone when we are busy?"

“The film is definitely enough”

Chen Qi hurriedly said, "Besides, I took photos for all three of Squad Leader Lin, and also for Squad Leader Sun. I only have to wait for Zhao Shengli, who wants to marry me."

"Why are you talking about me again?" Zhao Shengli muttered while biting the chicken butt.

"Now that we've taken pictures, let's take a group photo together when we get back?" Wei Ran suggested again.

"I think this suggestion is good," Squad Leader Lin said first, "Everyone, please eat quickly, finish early and go back early. Let's take a group photo after dawn!"

With Nian Nian, everyone ate much faster. After finishing the hot meal like falling leaves in the autumn wind, everyone changed into a carbine that Zhao Shengli had carried back, took all the things they had captured, and

I filled the kettle with hawthorn leaf tea and started walking back in the dark.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Under night, squad leader Lin led everyone over the mountains and ridges to regain the road where the prisoners were first captured.

Late at night, there were no U.S. military vehicles passing through this highway. Even the remains of two oil tankers that had been destroyed by landmines planted by the military not long ago were now pushed into the roadside and into the drainage ditch.

After hiding in the wreckage of the two trucks and waiting for a moment, Chen Qi took out three heavy backpacks from the cracks in the damaged cab of the oil tanker.

Without getting started, just by looking at the outline, Wei Ran knew that there was a high probability that this bag contained another landmine.

"Squad leader, would you like me to plant mines too?" Wei Ran whispered, he was very willing to do this kind of thing.

"Be careful and listen for the signal of victory."

As Squad Leader Lin spoke, he first pointed in the direction of Zhao Shengli, who was once again hiding in the same tree as before, and then took a backpack from Chen Qi and handed it to Wei Ran.

Taking the backpack containing four American square box mines, Wei Ran took out his engineer shovel and climbed onto the road.

Glancing at the positions of squad leader Lin and health worker Chen Qi who were laying mines, Wei Ran ran a full two to three hundred meters in the direction of the US military position, until the road made a slightly curved turn.

Then the four mines were carefully buried in a straight line with a 45-degree diagonal cut to the road.

This arrangement, coupled with the slightly curved turns here, basically eliminates the possibility of being ridden by wheels to pass safely.

On the other hand, since this place is far enough away from where Squad Leader Lin and others laid the mines, no matter which end of the two sides explodes first, the American demining troops will most likely relax and tighten up after failing to find the mines for one or two hundred meters in a row.

I was so nervous that I happily got back in the car and went to the second mine.

After laying the mines and camouflaging the ground, Wei Ran immediately ran back and joined squad leader Lin and others who had already completed the minelaying work, and then called Zhao Shengli who was hiding in the tree to watch, and the two men hiding in the forest.

A soldier and a prisoner, under the cover of the night and the forest on the roadside, rushed to the direction of the volunteer army position as quickly as possible.

As the distance got closer, everyone became more cautious. Even the captive Brendon was gagged and his hands were tied behind his back. The flares rising from time to time and the searchlights sweeping back and forth from the US military position in the distance also

Even if they are crawling all the way, they have to stop and wait from time to time.
