The three young rookies arrived at Mao 'er Mountain. Company Commander Wu, Wang Wenhai, and everyone else were quite happy. Company Commander Wu said," Let's continue the meeting. Let the three new comrades attend the meeting as well. We'll assign them tasks later."”Therefore, Wang Wenxiang, Liu Desheng, and Guo Xiaorui also sat down to attend the meeting. "Captain Wang, how was the battle at Shimen Village?" Commander Wu asked Wang Wenhai. Tell us about the situation." "The battle at Shimen Village is going quite smoothly," said Wang Wenhai. From the start of the battle to the end of the battle, it took less than an hour. The commotion that followed was to lure out the enemies of Shuimen Village. We deliberately made a scene. This was because the enemies in Shimen Village only had one squad of Japanese soldiers and one squad of the Imperial Association Army. In addition, our guerrillas are well-trained, but they lack actual combat experience. However, once the battle started, everyone quickly entered battle mode.”Company Commander Wu took over Wang Wenhai's words and said,""The battle in Stone Gate Village was not affected, but the battle in Water Gate Village was affected. It seems that the problem really lies in Water Gate Village. Let's have Vice-Captain Zhao take the three new generals to Shuimen Village tomorrow morning to understand the situation. Just in case, we will arrange for some people to be prepared to receive them three to four miles east of Shimen Village. Once the situation is discovered, all the participating personnel must ensure the safety of the three generals. Captain Wang, what do you think?" Wang Wenhai thought for a moment and said,"Alright, let's do that." But there is one thing. The four of you can only move at night, which is tomorrow night. Also, be careful to cover your face because Vice-Captain Zhao, Wen Xiang, and De Sheng are all from Shuimen Village. Don't expose your identity, understand?”The few of them nodded almost at the same time.

The next morning, when the sun had just risen, four people appeared on the Hetao road that was connected to the Half Calamity Ravine. They were two men and two women. The two men were young and handsome, and the two women were slightly older, around 32 or 33 years old. She was dressed like a farmer, and she was a young girl who looked to be around 21 or 22 years old. The four of them came to a place close to Half Calamity Ravine. Suddenly, they saw the older woman who was dressed as a farmer waving her hand. The other three young people followed the woman and quickly disappeared into the grass. In an extremely secluded place, a slightly older woman told three young men and women,"We can't go back to where we used to have meetings. I suspect that place has been sold out. In a while! I'll try to sneak into the village. The three of you wait here. When I figure out the situation, I'll come out and look for you. We'll take action after midnight. The three of you, be careful. Don't run around. Because both of you are from the village, you must be careful not to let others see your true identity. Otherwise, it will bring disaster to your family, understand?”"Alright, Sister-in-law, go ahead!" Wang Wenhai said. We are all people who have received formal military training and know what discipline is.”

Zhao Guizhi wore a blue headscarf with white flowers on it. She carried a basket on her arm, which contained more than forty eggs, and walked toward the sentry post. The outpost at Shimen Village in the west had been destroyed by the guerrillas. Now, only the outpost at Shuimen Village was left. Buttface walked up and shouted,"Come here, what are you doing? What's in the basket?" Zhao Guizhi walked up and smiled. She said carefully,"Boss, there are eggs in my basket. I'm going to take them to the market to exchange for some money so that I can get medicine for my mother when I get home. I also know that it's not easy for the CEOs to do this for us commoners. If you need it, take some. Leave me some, just enough for the medicine.”Hearing this, Buttface was amused and said,"Hoho, this little lady is quite good at talking. Alright, with your eloquence, I'll only take ten today.”As she spoke, she took the opportunity to swing her hand around Zhao Guizhi's chest. Zhao Guizhi took the opportunity to dodge and accidentally dropped the basket on the ground, breaking the eggs. Zhao Guizhi started crying. As she cried, she said,"Boss, look at you. You've made my eggs all rotten. How can I get medicine for my mother? If I go back, won't my husband beat me to death? What should I do?" As Zhao Guizhi cried, she made a gesture to collect the egg soup that was flowing on the ground with her hands. In the end, not only did he not put it away, he even got two hands full of mud. She wiped her tears on her face. In this way, Zhao Guizhi had disguised herself. In fact, Zhao Guizhi did everything on purpose. Because Zhao Guizhi was also from the village, she did this on purpose so that the people in the village would not recognize her. Seeing this, Buttface said impatiently,"Alright, don't dawdle here. Hurry up and leave! You can't even eat a few eggs, and you still have the face to dawdle here. Go away, go away, hurry up and leave. Don't delay my business.”Zhao Guizhi stood up and walked away while crying. At this time, Buttface didn't forget to take advantage of him. He pouted and said,"Sigh! I say, that b * tch, if you go back in the afternoon and your husband wants to beat you to death, come here and find me. Anyway, I have nothing to do at night. Now that you're here, I don't have to be idle.”The other Buttfaces who were standing guard outside the door laughed lewdly when they heard this. Zhao Guizhi passed the checkpoint and walked straight to the market. As she walked, she paid attention to the surrounding situation and happened to bump into Lei Dajiang. Lei Dajiang was wearing his hat askew and had a shell spear casually hanging on his shoulder. As he walked, he hummed a vulgar tune."Little lady! Don't be anxious! I'll climb onto your bed right away!…….”There was a cigarette in his mouth. Occasionally, someone would touch him and immediately turn around and curse fiercely,"Are you f * cking blind? Or did he f * cking want to die? Be careful, I'll shoot you." The person who was scolded had to turn around and quickly smile."Aiyo! It's Grandpa Thunder! It's all this little one's fault for being blind and touching Master Thunder. You're an adult and don't take offense. Next time, this little one will set up a banquet to apologize to Master Thunder.”Lei Dajiang still said unforgivingly,"F * ck off, what haven't I eaten before? Get lost, quickly get lost." Along the way, Lei Dajiang used countless such words to scold others. He also did not know how many people were scolding him. Zhao Guizhi dodged to the side and let Lei Dajiang pass first. Just as he was about to turn around and continue walking, he heard Zhao Dajiang say,""Sixth sister-in-law, where are you going?”"Brother Dajiang!" I'll go to the market and buy some needles and thread.”Lei Dajiang's small triangular eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He said with a disdainful expression,"Look at how poor you are. You look like a f * cking hungry ghost.”Zhao Guizhi could tell that the person who was talking to Lei Dajiang was Yao Ximei. "Then what should we do?" Yao Ximei asked. Brother Dajiang has plenty of opportunities to make a fortune, but you don't know how to help your Brother Sixth.”When Lei Dajiang heard this, he waved his hand impatiently and said,"Alright, don't waste your breath. Hurry up and get lost! Don't tell anyone that your Sixth Brother's surname is Lei, lest you embarrass us.”"Sigh! Got it. Where are you going? Did you go to Qiao Hong's again? Alright, that young wife is to your taste.”Lei Dajiang glared at him and said,""Where do I want to go to? Look at yourself. I feel disgusted just by looking at you.”Lei Dajiang left. Zhao Guizhi immediately walked up to Yao Ximei and said,"Big sister, can you be a little nicer and let me go to your house to drink some water? "I came out to sell eggs, but the eggs were also broken by the boss. I don't have any money on me, and I'm hungry. I don't have any other requests. Can you just give me a bowl of water to drink so that my stomach will feel better?"”At this point, Zhao Guizhi lowered her voice and said to Yao Ximei,"Ask Xiao Mazi to find us at the No. 2 contact point in Banjie Ravine tonight. Don't forget to bring us some food. There are three comrades waiting for us at the No. 2 contact point!”Yao Ximei nodded. Sister, a bowl of water shouldn't be called anything, but our house is too far away from here, and I have something urgent to attend to. How about this! Go ask for a bowl of water from the people nearby! It's okay. The people here are all good.”"I'm sorry to disturb you, Big Sister." Zhao Guizhi said. Then I'd better go back first! Anyway, the eggs were broken, and he couldn't buy any medicine.”

Zhao Guizhi returned to the hiding place of the other three people and said to them,"Yes, someone will come here tonight to deliver information. The four of us will go there and hide first to avoid attracting the attention of passers-by. The four of them came to a large tomb that seemed to have no owner. Zhao Guizhi instructed,"You have to pay attention to the people around you. If there's no one around, the four of us will go in. He had to be quick, and not be discovered by others.”Zhao Guizhi used her foot to step on a large rock beside her, and a hole appeared below. Then, he turned his head and looked around. He realized that the surroundings were quiet and there was no one around. He immediately ordered,"The three of you, go in quickly." The young man was so agile that even if someone passed by, they would only feel a blur in front of their eyes. They would not be able to find out where the three people had gone. Even Zhao Guizhi, who had inherited her family's martial arts, was surprised by this movement technique. Zhao Guizhi also quickly entered the cave and pulled a carriage with her hand to move the stone back to its original place. The cave was dark. Zhao Guizhi took out a match and lit an oil lamp hanging on the wall. She turned around and said to the three of them,"Remember, this is our second contact point. There are four more such contact points in the ditch. You just have to pay attention to them. There were two small stones next to the big stone of the switch for number two, and three small stones next to the big stone of the switch for number three. And so on, got it?" "This is to make it easier for us to move. We built it secretly before the Japanese came. Also, do you see the place where the lights are placed? It was also a switch. "You must remember the Lord, because when we were building the contact point, we already thought about it. If we were discovered by the enemy and there was only one exit, it would be too convenient for the enemy to capture us. They blocked us all. Therefore, we also designed another exit. Note that this exit is at the southeast corner of Desheng's house, which is also the dry well at the northeast corner of Wen Xiang's house. Wen Xiang, your brother and Teacher Zhao, the three of us once walked back and forth and found that there seemed to be a trap in that well? However, because the matter was rather urgent at that time, we felt that it had nothing to do with us, so we didn't pay attention to it. I reckon that Sheng's father has to fix it. When you have time, you can look for it and see where the mechanism is and what it's used for. Alright, if everyone has nothing else to do, let's start resting. We'll take turns listening to the movements outside. I'll start first. You guys are young and sleepy. You guys sleep first. At night, we will definitely have to take action, so we definitely won't be able to sleep.”

Everyone had taken a shift, and it was Zhao Guizhi's turn. Just as everyone felt that they had slept enough and wanted to get up to talk, they heard three thuds from outside kicking the soil on the grave. The other three quickly pulled out their guns. Only Zhao Guizhi said calmly,"Don't be nervous, he's one of us.”Zhao Guizhi pulled open the door, and Xiao Mazi slipped in. When Xiao Mazi came in and saw the three young men in front of him, he immediately pounced on Wang Wenxiang and whispered happily,"Uncle! You're back." Wang Wenxiang said,"Don't patronize me. Your nephew is still here!"”Wang Wenxiang pouted, and Xiao Mazi immediately hugged Liu Desheng and said happily,""Now that Desheng is back, the three of us can spend more time together.”Xiao Mazi looked at Guo Xiaorui and asked,""This is-?" Liu Desheng said,"Guo Xiaorui, the member of the anti-traitor team, when the Japanese devils are beaten away, it is very likely that it will be your aunt's."”Wang Wenxiang said boldly," Desheng, you're the only one who's young and talkative. When you see her again, you'll have to call her little granny."”De Sheng said,"It is. So what if you call me?"”Zhao Guizhi saw this and quickly said,"Alright, Little Ma Zi, in the future, the five of us will be in the same village." There was plenty of time to talk. Let's get down to business. There was plenty of time to gossip!”Xiao Mazi rolled his eyes and thought for a moment."I know about the Half Calamity Ravine. Go back. I've thought about it. Because when the traffic officer told me about the mission, he only told us to pick up Zhou Ting and Little Zheng at 8 pm. He said that there were 40 mines that we needed to bury on the east side of Half Calamity Ravine. He didn't say anything else. As for the ambush and whatnot, I guessed it later. However, since the pin of the mine was removed, there must be a problem. Because I was the one who hung it up. After Dazhuang and the others left, I hung it up myself and asked Brother Zhang the Fifth to help me hang it. Then, we both hid the wires before we left. The two of us were the last to leave. If there is a problem, it must be between the two of us. Because the others didn't know anything about pulling the strings. They only knew how to plant mines. Moreover, it was the first time the others had seen a landmine, so they didn't know how to use it. And among the two of us, Fifth Brother Zhang is the most likely. Of course, I'm also a suspect, but my suspicion will be left for the organization to screen and investigate in the future. At the moment, the most important problem was how to find the traitor. Otherwise, it would cause even greater harm.”Wang Wenxiang said," Alright, Ma Zi, let's not talk about your problem for now. We believe you. Now, tell us about your doubts about Fifth Master Zhang."”Xiao Mazi thought for a moment and said," Uncle, listen to me. Firstly, among these people, I'm the only one who has seen mines and learned how to handle them. This is what we learned during our training. The rest of us don't know. After the rest of the people buried the mines and left, I hung up. I was afraid of wasting time, so I asked Fifth Brother Zhang to stay behind to help. I also explained to him the uses of the mines and how to use them. Secondly, don't forget the legends that our villagers had about Fifth Brother Zhang's family. Brother Zhang the Fifth's clan was actually very greedy and stingy. They were purely things that would make anyone who had milk their mother. Why did he agree to our team's formation the moment we discussed it with him? It must be because of his hatred for Liu Zhentian. Didn't Liu Zhentian blow up his family's ancestral grave? This person's jealousy and vengeful mentality was quite strong. Third, the reason I suspect him is that Brother Zhang Wu's nephew lives next to his house. His name is Zhang Jincai, and this person has brought out the concept of having a mother is a mother to the fullest. Some time ago, Lei Dajiang had asked him to be a cook in the military camp. This guy was usually a glutton and would do anything for this mouth. His wife's name was Wan Qiaohong. He didn't know if that was her real name or if it was a flower number. Anyway, that was what people called her. This woman had a unique characteristic. In order to open her mouth, she would do anything. She often stole a man or something, and she was quite good-looking. Didn't Lei Dajiang's sister, Lei Jinhua, always run to the barracks? This was especially true for the military camp of Shuangmiao. He was a frequent visitor there, and now he had to curry favor with Yamada to live in the county town. Wan Qiaohong had treated Lei Jinhua as her role model. She always hoped that she could be like her and one day, live a life of debauchery with her own body. Therefore, he hooked up with Lei Dajiang some time ago. It was because of this relationship that Lei Dajiang got Zhang Jincai into the military camp to be a cook. "Therefore, I guess that Lei Dajiang happened to catch up with Fifth Brother Zhang's whereabouts, or that Fifth Brother Zhang told Zhang Jincai about the matter before it happened.”"Are you and Dazhuang safe?" Wang Wenxiang asked again.”"There's no problem at the moment, and I haven't seen any clues," Xiao Mazi replied.”Wang Wenxiang turned his head and said to Zhao Guizhi,"Sister-in-law, you decide! What are we going to do tonight?" Zhao Guizhi tilted her head and thought for a while before saying,"How about this? Since none of us are sure who the traitor is, the clue mentioned by Xiao Mazi is the only clue. Therefore, let's get Wan Qiaohong up tonight. However, he couldn't bring it here. I'm familiar with the place that Xiao Mazi just mentioned. After crossing a wall, there's a street that leads to the east and west. Go west along this street, and you'll reach the west exit within 30 meters. If we turn another corner to the north, our old house will be less than twenty meters away. Let's bring her there. No one has lived in my old house for many years. It's very desolate and I don't think anyone goes there usually. This way, no matter what, this place would not be exposed. In the future, we will use this place as a point of contact. Once the contact point is exposed, it can't be used, understand?”The rest of the people nodded and said,"I understand. We'll do as you say!"”Zhao Guizhi said,"Tonight, I'll bring Desheng and Xiaorui to my old house. Wenxiang, you go to Zhang Jincai's house first." I've arranged for Desheng and Xiaorui to meet you there. Then, we'll pull Wan Qiaohong out from under the covers.”At this point, Zhao Guizhi looked at everyone and continued,"Since everyone is clear about their mission, then after we get out, we will split up. Little pockmarked, you will still avoid this operation. You're our only spy in the village. You can't be exposed, understand?”Xiao Mazi nodded. Zhao Guizhi said,"In a while, we'll go out through the secret passage. This way, we can bypass the sentries in front of us and save a lot of trouble. When you come out, listen to my commands. We'll catch him off guard and make some noise.”

Not long after, in the northeast corner of Wang Shijie's house and the southeast corner of Liu Zhentian's house, five black shadows suddenly emerged from the ground. The first one to pop out was Xiao Ma Zi. After climbing out of the dry well, he made sure that there was no one around and quickly disappeared into the vast night. The second to come up was Wang Wenxiang, the third was Liu Desheng, and the fourth was Guo Xiaorui. Zhao Guizhi was the rear guard. Wang Wenxiang and De Desheng both looked at their homes, but both of them suppressed their emotions. He didn't dare to take another look, afraid that if he did, he would walk into his house. Zhao Guizhi waved her hand, and Liu Desheng and Guo Xiaorui followed Zhao Guizhi. Wang Wenxiang also walked in another direction. Wang Wenxiang used his childhood memories to find Fifth Brother Zhang's home. He used his life's ultimate technique and the new skills he had learned. In just a few leaps, he arrived on the roof of Fifth Brother Zhang's house without making a sound. Wang Wenxiang hid his body and carefully listened to the voices of Brother Zhang Wu's family. At the same time, he kept his eyes on the alley, afraid that Zhao Guizhi would not be able to find him. At the same time, his right hand took out a small stone from his pocket and grabbed it. After a while, he saw a black shadow floating in from the entrance of the alley. Wang Wenxiang knew it was Zhao Guizhi at a glance. When Zhao Guizhi stood firm and was looking for him, Wang Wenxiang threw the small stone in his hand at Zhao Guizhi and pulled out the dagger at the same time. Zhao Guizhi immediately knew where Wen Xiang was hiding and also jumped up to the roof. Although he wasn't as agile as Wang Wenxiang, he wasn't far off. When they reached the roof, Wang Wenxiang pointed at Zhang Jincai's house. The two of them jumped a few more times and arrived under Zhang Jincai's window. He listened to the rooms one by one and confirmed that there were people in the rooms. Then, the two of them dipped their fingers in saliva and quietly opened the window paper. They looked at it and confirmed that there was someone in the room. The two of them silently pried open the window and sneaked in. In just a moment, Wang Wenxiang was seen carrying a cylinder rolled up with a quilt. Zhao Guizhi was holding a gun and covering him from behind. She jumped out of the window again. With just a few jumps, he disappeared from Zhang Jincai's courtyard.

In the corner of Zhao Guizhi's old house, a few masked men were interrogating Wan Qiaohong. A woman's voice said,""Wan Qiaohong, you don't have to know what we do, and you don't have to ask, understand? Whatever we ask, just tell us what you know.”Wan Qiaohong was so scared that she gritted her teeth and said,""I know, I know. You guys can ask. I'll definitely tell you what I know. I won't hide anything.”"Alright then, I've asked. Do you know what happened in Banjie Ravine the night before?"”Wan Qiaohong was so frightened that she knelt down and said,""I know, but it has nothing to do with me.”"Then how did you know?" the woman asked.”"Lei Dajiang told me," Wan Qiaohong replied.”"Didn't Lei Dajiang come tonight?”Wan Qiaohong replied,"Yes, you arrived just as I left." He always came after dinner and left in the middle of the night. He said it wasn't safe to be outside after midnight, so he returned to the barracks almost every day at the same time.”The woman asked again,"What did Lei Dajiang tell you? Tell the truth. You can't say anything fake. Otherwise, we'll put the blame on you."”Wan Qiaohong forced herself to answer." Then I'll tell you. The night before yesterday, Lei Dajiang just left my place. He happened to bump into my fifth uncle, who is often called Fifth Brother Zhang. He came back with a pickaxe. It aroused Lei Dajiang's suspicion, so he took him away. I didn't take it seriously. I'm just a woman, so I don't know much. Last night, Lei Dajiang said to me,'Do you understand? The Fifth Brother Zhang that I caught yesterday was a mine burying man who was helping the Eighth Route Army in the west to fight the Imperial Army. I caught Fifth Brother Zhang to scare him, but before I could torture him, this old man confessed everything. He even told me to move his family to a safe place and told me about all the members of the village. When I heard this news, I immediately reported it to the Imperial Army. In the end, none of the 8th Route Army soldiers managed to escape. They were all killed by us and the Imperial Army. I guess that Brother Zhang Wu is after that 500 yuan. This old man is a money-grubber from the bottom of his heart.”"Alright, let's not continue. I'm asking you if Fifth Brother Zhang's family has left?”It was still a woman's voice. Wan Qiaohong replied,"No!" But it looks like they're leaving. I saw their family packing up their things today!”Zhao Guizhi stepped forward and slapped the woman's head. Then, she said,"There's no time to lose. We can't let Fifth Brother Zhang leave. If that happens, the losses in the village will be huge. The forces that we have just developed, including Xiao Mazi, will be wiped out by the enemy. Quickly go to Brother Zhang Wu's house and get rid of him.”The palm strike and the words were almost simultaneously carried out, and Wan Qiaohong fell unconscious. The other four people only took a few steps and arrived at the door of Fifth Brother Zhang's house. Desheng and Xiaorui were on guard outside. Zhao Guizhi and Wang Wenxiang climbed over the wall into Brother Zhang's house, kicked the door open, and jumped in. Wang Wenxiang aimed at Fifth Brother Zhang. The dagger in his hand flashed, and immediately a wound appeared on Fifth Brother Zhang's throat. Blood immediately gushed out, and he fell to the ground and died. Wen Xiang and Zhao Guizhi turned around and came to the courtyard. Together with the other two, they took advantage of the cover of the night and disappeared instantly.

The next day, the Zhang family began to prepare for Fifth Brother Zhang's funeral. They only told outsiders that he had died of illness. No one investigated the true cause of death. Due to the change in Fifth Brother Zhang's family, although the Zhang family was not small in number, there was still something fishy about it. However, in that chaotic era, people did not have the mood to meddle in other people's affairs. Therefore, they simply turned the page of Fifth Brother Zhang's death.

However, on the night of Brother Zhang Wu's death, people heard gunshots coming from the direction of Banjie Gully in the west of the village. They also heard shouting."My fellow villagers, I am the heroine of a woman who is enraged. I have come to the village to settle a special matter. I was about to leave, but before I left, I killed the devil in the western turret and Buttface to show the beasts their might.”

After Zhao Guizhi finished shouting, the few of them quickly disappeared into the weeds of Half-Calamity Ravine. On the way, Guo Xiaorui asked Wang Wenxiang,""Wenxiang, are you alright? I was so worried." Wang Wenxiang said,"Be careful of your influence. My sister-in-law and Desheng are here!"”Zhao Guizhi looked at De Sheng and smiled."Wenxiang, we didn't hear or see anything!”The few of them laughed happily.
