The backyard of the clinic was dark, as quiet as a cemetery, and there was no movement at all.
Qiao Yanfang and Qiang Hu could only vaguely see some walls or roof ridges through the telescope, but could not see any moving figures. She could not help but wonder if Li San had not gone in!
3-30
At this time, Li San was hiding in a corner of the clinic's backyard, carefully listening to every movement around him.
His eyes were widened, observing every dark corner nearby.
Even if a mosquito flies from a distance, he can see it clearly!
He slid out of the corner like a shadow, keeping himself in the shadows as much as possible, observing the surrounding situation silently.
The backyard of the clinic is actually a large courtyard, but it is densely built with many houses, with only narrow corridors in the middle.
The most important houses among them were the three large warehouse-like houses he saw from the surveillance point.
These three large houses are about six to seven meters wide and at least twenty meters long. They really look like warehouses. Because the windows are very high and very small, it is impossible to climb in from the outside.
The doors are all opened on the gable wall. They are double doors. They are very tall and can even drive a car in.
There is a cement road outside the door. Li San can tell at a glance that this cement road leads to the big iron gate next to the clinic.
Li San noticed that among the three large warehouse-like houses, the two in the south were completely dark and had no light at all. But the one in the north had dim lights on.
That means, at least for now, there might be someone in the house!
Thinking of this, he wanted to sneak over. If he could climb up the window, he might be able to see what was going on in the house.
He continued to move forward, always keeping himself hidden in the shadows.
He turned a corner and continued walking forward. He suddenly noticed that there was a narrow road beside him, but he didn't know where it led.
He glanced into the passage and was so frightened that his hair stood up.
Oh my God! At the end of the alley, there was a cigarette butt that flickered on and off! Someone was smoking there!
Li San quickly dodged across the aisle, pressed his body against the wall, and stared at the cigarette butt.
Thank God! The smoking man didn’t see him at that moment!
At this time, Li San looked around and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat again! The place where the smoking man was standing was the only part of the wall that could enter the backyard! In a word, that part of the wall was guarded!
If he climbs in from that wall, he will definitely fall into the hands of this person!
God! Such a strict security method means that there must be a big secret in this backyard!
Li San continued to move towards the big house with the lights on. Next to the big house was the part of the building where the clinic turned into the courtyard. There were also lights on in the windows of this building.
Li San stood close to a corner by the wall, observing the big house with lights on and the clinic next to it, looking for ways to sneak past, observation points and hiding places.
He saw clearly that the only way was to cross the cement road in front of him as quickly as possible, quickly enter the passage between the two large houses, and then find a way to climb up the window!
Just when he was about to move, there was sudden movement in the big house opposite him!
The sound of the iron door bolts twisting came from the double-open door. Then, the door opened, and some lights came out from the door. These lights shone right in front of Li San's feet. He had no cover at this time and was frightened.
Don't dare to move!
At this time, two people came out of the door. They were pushing a stretcher cart that was only available in the hospital. There seemed to be a person lying on the stretcher cart! Is that the patient? Li San guessed in his mind.
They rolled out the stretcher cart and turned back to close the door.
Li San was only three or four meters away from them, with no cover in front of him. Those two would see him as soon as they raised their heads!
But the two people didn't see him and continued to push the stretcher toward the clinic.
Li San was covered in cold sweat. It took him a moment to realize that the two people were coming out of a bright place, and their eyes had not yet adapted to the darkness. The more important point was that they were paying attention to the people in the car and did not raise their heads to look here!
3-31
Qiao Yanfang and Qiang Hu, who were hiding at the surveillance point, also noticed this scene.
They saw the door of the first big house had opened, and some lights came out from inside. They vaguely saw two people coming out, and seemed to be walking towards the clinic. They could only see their heads, and nothing else.
!
Qiao Yanfang was very worried, wondering what happened to Li San.
Very unexpectedly, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the clinic! In this silent night, it was as loud as thunder!
Almost at the same time, they suddenly saw a figure jumping or falling down from the wall!
They immediately judged that it was Li San!
3-32
Before the gunfire rang out, Li San had been paying attention to the person on the stretcher. He could vaguely see that the person seemed to be struggling, but there was no sound at all!
The people pushing the cart seemed very angry and yelled in a low voice. One of them even punched the person in the cart. The other person strangled the belt restraining the person in the cart!
The people in the car stopped moving. The two people continued to push the stretcher forward.
Li San's first feeling was that the person in the car was a special "patient". He was called "special" because he was gagged! He was also tied to the car with a belt! He was even more surprised and couldn't guess.
How is this going!
Those two people pushed the stretcher into the small building of the clinic!
The surroundings fell into silence again, a more terrifying and disturbing silence!
Li San was full of curiosity. He glanced around, planning to go to observe the situation in the big house first, and then to observe the situation in the clinic. He was so curious!
It was this look around him that scared him into a cold sweat again!
Not far behind him, he saw a cigarette butt flickering on and off, only a few meters away from him!
Apparently, the person guarding the passage heard the noise outside and came out to investigate!
He actually walked towards Li San. He only had to take a few more steps and he would see Li San!
Li San believed that his eyes had already adapted to the darkness!
Li San quickly considered several situations in the next second!
If he was discovered, could he subdue the guy! It seems not! The guy looked strong!
If he runs away now, how far can he run while the guy pulls out his pistol? That guy is a guard, so he must have a gun on him! This is a no-brainer!
The last possibility is, if he stands motionless in this corner, can he hide from that person's eyes! There is caution hidden in the steps of that person walking over! He must not be able to hide from that person's eyes!
In an instant, Li San rushed out of the corner like a bullet fired from the barrel of a gun and rushed towards the clinic!
In front of this cement road is a big iron gate. There is a wall next to the iron gate. His only way out is to climb over the wall and jump outside! His speed determines his life or death!
Most likely, Li San's sudden rush out startled the guard behind him. It took him two seconds to pull out his pistol and load the bullet! In these two seconds, Li San rushed more than ten meters away.
!
The guard roared and raised his gun to aim at Li San.
But more than ten meters away, the cement road began to bend toward the iron gate! Li San's shadow disappeared!
The guard rushed after him. By the time he turned the corner, Li San had climbed up the wall like a monkey!
He fired a shot at the figure on the wall! The sound of the gunshot could almost scare people to death in this silent night!
The bullet flew over Li San's head! He fell heavily outside the wall!
4-1
The shocking sound of gunfire caused Qiao Yanfang and Qiang Hu to raise their rifles at the same time, and aimed at Li San's front and back through the crosshairs.
They saw Li San barely getting up from the ground under the wall and running southward with a slight stagger.
Qiao Yanfang saw that there was an alley not far ahead. It was through this alley that Li San entered. He climbed down from the wall, indicating that he had entered the backyard of the clinic, but was discovered by the people inside!
At this time, she unexpectedly saw that Li San suddenly stopped when he was approaching the alley. Then, he turned around and ran away!
In just a moment, two figures rushed out of the alley. They chased Li San!
At this point, Qiao Yanfang no longer hesitated. She aimed at a figure and fired!
The sound of gunfire was deafening in the silent night. The man fell to the ground. The accomplice behind him squatted down to pull him up.
Immediately afterwards, he looked up at the small attic opposite where Qiao Yanfang was located, and raised his gun to shoot at the small attic.
However, a pistol has no power against people in a small attic!
Qiang Hu shot him again. Although he missed, the guy turned around and fled into the alley.
Qiao Yanfang looked back and saw that Li San was almost approaching the clinic! Unexpectedly, two people rushed out of the clinic. They raised their guns and aimed at Li San. Qiao Yanfang didn't have time to think too much, turned around and fired at the two people.
gun.
The bullet shattered the glass next to it. The two men hurriedly retreated into the clinic!
Li San crossed Wangyun Road and ran this way. Qiao Yanfang judged that he was going to Zhaojia Road and ran west.
The two people who retreated into the clinic shot at Li San and shouted.
Qiao Yanfang and Qiang Hu shot at the two people continuously, suppressing them.
But then, they understood why those two people were shouting!
A group of Japanese soldiers rushed out from the east of Zhaojia Road. They quickly divided into two groups, one group pursued westward along Zhaojia Road, and the other group rushed into Wangyun Road.
At this time, Tan Hao, who had been standing behind Qiao Yanfang, shouted: "Xiao Qiao, look to the south! Look to the south!"
When Qiao Yanfang turned back and looked south, she realized that a group of Japanese soldiers had also rushed over from the south of Wangyun Road and had dispersed into the alleys here!
She turned around and shouted: "Everyone! Escape quickly! Evacuate quickly! We can't stay here any longer!"
The four of them methodically packed up their guns, binoculars, clothes and supplies. Tan Hao carried the radio on his back. They quickly rushed down the small attic and into the twisting and dark alley.
The retreat route was one they had been optimistic about from the beginning!
