Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-01

Du Lusheng, squad leader of a certain unit of our border defense force, and Pang Xiaogang, a new soldier, walked along the border river vigilantly while stepping on the dew. They quickly entered the hidden observation post and carefully searched the barren hills and forests on the opposite bank.

After a while, Du Lusheng said, "Pay attention!"Xiao Pang turned his face and saw a black-headed truck on the opposite bank, crawling out from behind the barren hill and driving onto the road next to the Jiehe.

The car came to a halt in the sliding ramp, and two people came out of the cab and slowly opened the hood.

Pang Xiaogang watched their movements vigilantly, and said to himself suspiciously: "Repair the car, why don't you slide down the ramp to repair?"Du Lusheng said: "There are ghosts in here, you look behind the windshield." ”

Xiao Pang took a closer look, and there was another person in the cab, and two reflections could be faintly seen. After a while, the car drove away with black smoke in tow. According to the direction of the enemy's peeping, Du Lusheng determined that the enemy was observing the Black Stone Mountain behind the side of the East Village.

However, this black stone mountain is only a hill more than 100 meters high, and there are no military facilities, only black stones of one color and a lone telephone pole. Du Lusheng thought about it for a while, and said to Pang Xiaogang: "I will find out from the masses later!."”

At the head of the village, they met the militia platoon commander Kwai Ying and her younger brother Shi Guzai. Kwai Ying's expression was grim and alert, and she softly reported to Du Lusheng what she had just discovered.

It turned out that Kwai Ying and her younger brother went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and suddenly found that there was a ghostly person on Blackstone Mountain, and if you looked closely, it was a "rice shovel head". This man has a vicious heart, and people compare him to a poisonous snake called "rice shovel head". This guy wandered around the mountains and disappeared.

Before liberation, the rice shovel head was the owner of the rice shop in the town, relying on his fifth brother "Guoshulong" (the name of the poisonous snake) as the power of the Kuomintang spies.

After the liberation, it is said that "Guoshulong" became a bandit, but "the head of the rice shovel mixed into the cooperative store in the town as a worker."

It wasn't until *** went on for two years that he returned to the village. Every time I saw an acquaintance, I always smiled and explained that he was organized to take care of him, and he voluntarily returned to his hometown to participate in the production. ··

Du Lusheng had long been wary of this person, so he asked: "What are you doing on the Black Stone Mountain with the 'rice shovel head'?"Shi Guzai rushed to say, "I was about to catch up and ask for clarification, but my sister didn't let me and pulled me away." Kwai Ying continued: "We can't startle the snake, we have to figure it out in circles." ”

Du Lusheng nodded approvingly, and then asked in an inquiring tone, "How do you think you can figure it out?"Kwai Ying said: "Now the "rice shovel head" is cooking at home, let's go up to the Black Rock Mountain to check!."Du Lusheng waved his hand and said, "After finding someone to "stick" him, let's go up the mountain again." ”

In less than half an hour, the Kui Ying sisters and brothers led Du Lusheng and Pang Xiaogang to the Black Stone Mountain, followed the path of the "rice shovel head", and looked around.

After turning around for half a circle, Du Lusheng found that on the crack of the cedar pole, a half-foot-long bamboo strip was obliquely inserted. Everyone gathered around.

This must be inserted by the "rice shovel head"!Shi Guzai said as he ran over and stood on tiptoe to pluck it. Du Lusheng hurriedly stopped him.

Du Lusheng stood by the telephone pole and looked around for a while, Xiao Pang and Kwai Ying searched nearby, but found no new situation. Du Lusheng said: "Keep it first!."So he led them down the mountain.

Du Lusheng and Pang Xiaogang returned to the company headquarters and saw the company commander talking with an old man with gray temples. Du Lusheng called out affectionately: "Gu Xinbo." ”

They sat down next to the old man and reported the discovery to the company commander, and when the report reported that the bamboo strips had been found, Gu Xinbo excitedly kicked the cigarette pipe and said, "What?You also found bamboo strips in the Black Rock Mountain?”

The company commander smiled and said, "You found bamboo strips in Heishi Mountain, and Gu Xinbo also found them in Niujiaoling, and he came here for this." ”

Gu Xinbo said: "At dawn, I saw" the head of the rice shovel carrying a dung basket, and went out of the village in a panic, feeling that the appearance was suspicious, so he quietly followed to see what was going on. ”

The guy climbed up the Oxfoot Ridge, ran to the telephone pole, swam around for a while, and went down. Gu Xinbo suspected that this guy was sabotaging the ** line, and immediately went up to check. At first glance, there was a bamboo strip diagonally inserted on the telephone pole.

When Gu Xinbo was leaving, he talked about some recent performances of the "rice shovel head" and told everyone to pay special attention.

The company commander asked Du Lusheng to express his opinion. Du Lusheng confidently said: "In my opinion, the two bamboo slivers on the Black Stone Mountain and the Niujiao Ridge are the marks of the two points forming a line, and this line is just passing through the gap in the night post. It is likely to be a sign of the enemy's vain attempt to infiltrate and respond to the intent. ”

Pang Xiaogang admired the squad leader's judgment very much, clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Wow, I'll catch up with the battle as soon as I come!."”

The company commander finally concluded: "Heishi Mountain is in front, Niujiao Ridge is behind, and the cunning "rice shovel head" is likely to respond at Niujiao Ridge. We immediately asked our superiors for instructions, and from tonight onwards, we set up an ambush at Niujiao Ridge, so that the enemy could be let in and we could take them all out!”

It was dark, and Du Lusheng and Pang Xiaogang were ambushed in a tuft of grass on Niujiao Ridge, vigilantly watching everything around them.

The militiamen also entered their respective positions covertly in combat groups in accordance with the battle plan drawn up by the joint defense command. Gu Xinbo carried a shiny long-handled firewood knife, and Shi Guzai clutched an iron-headed spear beside him.

Mosquitoes bite, insects bite, but everyone is like a rock on a mountain, not moving. When the morning star rose high, there was no movement at all, and when I was wondering, I heard the signal to evacuate.

The next night, it was dark again. The members who participated in the ambush quickly entered their respective posts.

In the middle of the night, Du Lusheng and Xiao Pang, who were lying in ambush in the grass, suddenly heard the sound of rustling, and then a ghost-like black shadow climbed up the mountain, and they were about to walk in front of Xiao Pang.

Xiao Pang recognized that it was the figure of the "rice shovel head", and really wanted to catch him, but when he saw that the squad leader did not move, he calmed down.

"Rice shovel head" crouched down in front of the telephone pole. The people in ambush were waiting for the long-awaited signal. However, the "rice shovel head" stood up, stretched his neck and looked around for a while, but found a way to go.

It didn't hit for two nights. In the evening of that day, Du Lusheng and Pang Xiaogang came to the East Village, and everyone immediately gathered around, talking and laughing, as if no one had stayed up on the mountain last night or the night before. Only Shi Guzai, as if he was angry with someone, was grinding his iron head with his stuffy head.

Du Lusheng preached to everyone about the excellent situation of the proletariat and the great victory achieved under the guidance of the revolutionary line, and people also talked enthusiastically according to what they had seen and heard and their own experiences.

Then Du Lusheng emphatically pointed out that the proletariat is a heavy blow to the emperor's rebellion, and the class enemies at home and abroad will certainly take the opportunity to sabotage and make trouble. We are asked to be more vigilant.

Without waiting for Du Lusheng to finish speaking, Kwai Ying hurriedly said: "Yes, we must be a hundred times more vigilant, annihilate the invading enemy, defend the proletariat and defend the socialist motherland." The enemy doesn't come tonight, we'll wait tomorrow night!”

Gu Xinbo also smiled and said: "Joint defense and joint defense, only with joint defense can we prevent, we are "waiting" for them every day 360 days a year, what is it to lie in the grass for two nights!."When Pang Xiaogang listened to these words, which were full of revolutionary pride and confidence in victory, he immediately felt that he had inexhaustible strength in his body.

That night, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden wind, and then it began to rain. Du Lusheng took Pang Xiaogang to lie on the mountain, his clothes were soaked, but his body was hot.

After an hour, the rain stopped, but the fog was thick and the night was hazy. At this time, with a sound of rustling, I saw the "rice shovel head" sneakily and stumbling up the hill, squatting down in front of the telephone pole.

Du Lusheng and Xiao Pang held their breath and stared at his figure tightly.

After a while, there was another "swish" sound from the other direction. Listen, listen, the voice suddenly became faster and faster, and it became two dark shadows, and climbed up the mountain. The "rice shovel head" suddenly stood up and stepped forward.

Bang", the signal went off!"Hands up!"Shoot or kill!The roar rang out;The soldiers and civilians lying in ambush jumped up, their black muzzles and glowing bayonets aimed at the three black shadows.

There was a guy who threw up his pistol and slammed it three times, then turned around and jumped into the depression. Pang Xiaogang fired a shot at him, but because of the steep slope and slippery road, he flashed his foot when firing and did not hit.

After Du Lusheng saw that the guy flashed on a rock, he took Xiao Pang to detour from the flank and copy his back road. They jumped down the hill and followed the path towards the guy's back.

The cunning spy slipped down the hill just as Du Lusheng was about to approach him. When the agent reached the foot of the mountain, he was frightened by the sound of shouts and bolts.

The agent tried to retreat, but someone came after him. He fired two shots back and forth indiscriminately, and in a panic, he plunged headlong into the grass. The shiny iron skewer of the stone drum boy poked out with a "swish", which frightened him into despair.

The dog spy turned around and wanted to run, but Du Lusheng, Pang Xiaogang and the militiamen had already pressed their guns against his chest, so they had to raise their hands obediently.

On this side, Gu Xinbo raised his knife on the back slope to intercept the "rice shovel head" and shouted: "You can't run!."The "rice shovel head" retreated again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "I raise my hands to surrender, I lift..."

When Gu Xinbo was about to turn behind him and escort him away, the "rice shovel head" turned around sharply and thrust the dagger hidden in the cuff straight into Gu Xinbo's back.

At this time, only two "horns" were heard, and the dagger in the hand of the "rice shovel head" fell to the ground. It turned out that Du Lusheng had already designated a combat group to ambush here. When everyone arrived, the "rice shovel head" had to kneel down and beg for mercy.

The rice shovel head "also wanted to find a chance to escape, just lifted his leg, but unexpectedly he was kicked by Kwai Ying firmly in the back, and then he was like a poisonous snake that had been knocked off the joints and collapsed on the ground.

The eastern sky was reflected in the red glow, and the battle was over. When the people heard that all the enemies had been caught, they gathered around to see them. It turned out that the slender-legged and long-necked spy was the fifth brother of the "rice shovel head", "Guo Shulong".

The border guards and militiamen, full of joy of victory, escorted the agents away. A strong iron man, against the backdrop of the morning glow, looks particularly vibrant. "The army and the people are united as one, try to see who can be the enemy in the world" The majestic song is in the valley.
