Chapter 47: Cleverly Passing Through Chen Village (4)

  Celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China! Today is the third watch! Have a great weekend!

  "Captain, once we cross Lao Ye Ling tomorrow, we'll be out of Xiangyang territory." Liu Wentao said as he quickly pulled out a sweet potato that had been roasted in the embers and handed one to Li Xinmin. He then sat down next to him, peeling another one for himself.

  "Yes! This mission is extremely important! Tomorrow we must speed up our progress." Li Xinmin took the pumpkin handed to him by Liu Wentao, his two hands moving back and forth.

  Holding a pumpkin, waiting for it to cool down a bit before peeling and eating.

  "It's so hot! It's so sweet! Mmm... mmm...", Liu Wentao started eating with relish.

  "Yes! It's really delicious!", Li Xinmin was also eating very happily.

  "The land here is good, and the calabazas that come out are big and sweet." Liu Wentao said with a mumble.

  There were over a hundred warriors around them, also in groups of three to five, gathering together and laughing as they ate their dinner. Li Xinmin and his men appeared here because they had been sent out on a top-secret mission.

  The headquarters chief called Li Xinmin to the headquarters, sent him to lead a team to carry out this task, and required him to keep it absolutely confidential. Finally, Li Xinmin found Li Canmou, who told Li Xinmin about the specific situation of this action.

  "A few days ago, I heard that the devils used poison gas shells to harm civilians, have you heard about it?" Li asked. "I've heard that the devils used poison gas shells to massacre the people of several villages a few days ago," Li Xinmin said.

  "Right! Didn't Old Zhu and Old Peng also call for a stop to the devils' use of poison gas bombs?" Li Xinmin asked again.

  "Can those inhumane devils listen to us? They will only become more ruthless," said Li Canmou. As he spoke, he handed a document to Li Xinmin, "Here! This is the intelligence that was just sent back by our comrades up ahead."

  "Damn it! The devils are targeting our base!" Li Xinmin said after reading the document.

  "Yes! Intelligence shows that the devils will have a transport team, transporting a large batch of chemical weapons to deal with us," said Li Canmou.

  "Hmm! We can't let the enemy's plot succeed, we must destroy these weapons on the way, otherwise not only are we in danger, but also the people of the base will be harmed by the enemy." Li Xinmin said with hatred.

  "Not bad! Your mission this time is to destroy these weapons. But you also need to pay attention to safety, and be doubly careful." Li's adjutant instructed with some concern.

  "Don't worry! Commander, I will definitely be more careful."

  After understanding the task, Li Xinmin returned to the camp and immediately gathered Liu Wentao and Zhang Dawei and several other cadres together. In order to keep this mission confidential, Li Xinmin did not reveal the content of the mission. He handed over the work in the camp to Zhang Dawei, let Liu Wentao follow himself to carry out the task, and selected a few people from the cadres to go together. Later, he also let Liu Wentao select a batch of reliable and capable soldiers to follow him.

  On the march, Li Xinmin briefly told a few cadres about this mission. They quickly marched towards their destination.

  "Huang Lianchang! We want to discuss with you, see if you can go through in batches. After all, there are too many of you, and our comrades in the puppet army cannot send you all over at once. If we let you all pass at once, it will easily attract the attention of the devils, and he will be suspected by the devils, and you will not be safe either." Wang Zhenhai said to Huang Yucai.

  "Oh? Is that so! It's true, it's not very convenient to go through so many people at once. Alright then! Captain Wang, let's convene a meeting immediately to discuss our next move." Huang Yuke replied.

  "Alright! We'll wait for your news." Wang Zhenhai said and left. Huang Yuke called Gao Dabao to find the five leaders, discussing how to allocate personnel through the devils' blockade zone.

  "Director! The situation is like this, what arrangements should be made?" Huang Yukai gave a detailed report of the situation to the five directors.

  "Is that so! Things are indeed not easy to handle!", Director Chen also couldn't help but feel the difficulty of the situation, after thinking for a moment, Director Chen said, "We've passed this place and we're almost there, I think it's not necessary to have so many people escort us, what do you say? You escort us through the enemy's blockade zone and then go back! We'll walk on our own."

  "What's your opinion, Old Luo?" Chief Chen then asked for Chief Luo's views.

  "Hmm! I think it's okay! Let's settle on this then!", Luo Shou Zhang agreed with Chen Shou Zhang's opinion.

  "How can that be, Chief!", Huang Yuke wouldn't dare to leave the Chiefs here, what if something unexpected happens, Li Xinmin would kill him! Besides, he couldn't possibly feel at ease leaving the Chiefs behind and going back himself.

  "What's wrong? Go back and tell your leader that I'm letting you go!" Chen said sternly.

  Huang Yuke saw that his superior was angry, but he himself did not want to carry out the superior's decision and muttered to himself.

  "Haha! Alright! Huang Lianchang, you can take your people back now! If you're still worried, just leave Gao Dabao and the special forces with us. We'll make good use of them." At this time, Luo Shouzhang came out to mediate.

  "Yes! Huang Lianchang, you can go back now! We're not unfamiliar with fighting against the devils, what kind of formation haven't we seen? Besides, once we pass through the devil's blockade zone, it'll be safe, and there will be organized reception on the other side, nothing will happen."

  After a dispute, the two sides finally unified their opinions and left Gao Dabao and the special forces team behind. The others followed Huang Yuke back. Huang Yuke and Gao Dabao returned to Huang Yuke's house together to discuss who would escort the leader. They couldn't really follow the leader's words, having a few special forces members escort was indeed safe, but if they encountered a large number of enemies, a few special forces members wouldn't be able to stop the enemy's attack, not even one person could cover them. The two selected over a dozen elite soldiers from the team to work with the special forces to escort the leader. After discussing everything, the two finally felt at ease and went back to rest.

  As soon as day broke, the warriors all got moving and made preparations, ready to pass through the enemy's blockade zone at any time.

  "Hey! Isn't that Village Chief Huang? What brings you here with us?" said the fake soldier standing guard at the door.

  "Brother! Is Feng Lianchang around?", Huang Cunzhang asked.

  "Ah! He's in the house right now! Wait a minute!" The fake soldier said, then turned around and ran inside to deliver the message. Before long, he came running out and respectfully invited Huang Village Chief in.

  "Here comes Village Chief Huang!", Feng Tianguo warmly greeted this Village Chief Huang.

  "Feng Lianchang! It's just a token of respect." Huang Cunzhang said, handing over the thing in his hand. The puppet soldiers under him took it and retreated from the house.

  "How is it? Feng Lianchang, Captain Wang asked me to discuss the pros and cons." Huang Cunzhang asked.

  "It's all right! Everything is going smoothly! You go back and tell them that everything is proceeding according to plan." Feng Tianguo said to Huang Cunzhang. The two men talked in the house for a while before Huang Cunzhang left. The puppet army escorted him out with respect.

  "Zhao Liu!", "Lai Lian Chang! What's the matter?", "Go and find Liu An and Zhang Quan for me!" Feng Tian Gui ordered. Zhao Liu quickly ran out.

  "Big brother! Are you looking for me?" A dark-faced big man and a yellow-faced big man walked in from outside, they were Liu An and Zhang Quan mentioned by Feng TianGui.

  "Hmm! It's been a while since I've gone out on patrol. This afternoon, you two come with me on patrol, bring your people along." Feng Tian Gui instructed.

  "Alright! Big brother, you don't have to work so hard, just take a look and we'll be fine." Liu An said with concern.

  "Ah! It's time to get some exercise, or else my skills will become rusty." Feng Tianguo said. The two of them went back to make arrangements. Feng Tianguo then called Zhao Liu in again.

  "What did Huangcun Zhang send over just now?" asked Feng Tiangu. "There was a big piece of pork and four bottles of wine." Zhao Liu replied truthfully.

  "Damn it! These useless gluttons! Tell the kitchen to stew some meat, isn't there enough meat? Inform the kitchen to slaughter another pig, and have the brothers eat stewed meat at noon, and drink those four bottles of wine too! I'm going on patrol this afternoon." Feng Tianguo ordered.

  "Good!", Zhao Liu quickly ran to the kitchen to report the news.

  "Cheers!", "Drink! Have another cup!", amidst the cheers, Feng Tian Gui majestically led Liu An and Zhang Quan, the two leaders, away from the base. Before leaving, he also instructed his subordinates that they didn't need to go on patrol today, as he would personally inspect, and the brothers could drink to their heart's content.
