Everyone rode their horses to Heroic Soul Mountain, and when Xiao Yi climbed the hillside again. The guerrillas had already left, and looking at the traces of people coming to worship in front of the grave, Xiao Yi felt very strange, which was burned after she left. didn't expect that there were still people thinking about Xiaobao and the sacrificed Kuomintang and Communist Party brothers, and Xiaoyi couldn't help but have tears on her face.

Hongbing Qiangzi and the others felt very ashamed, and they all felt shameless standing in front of Xiaobao's grave. The captain explained many times that no matter on the battlefield or elsewhere, the two female members of the team must be well protected.

Today, everyone didn't take good care of Xiaoyi and put her in danger, and everyone repented and secretly made up their minds in front of Xiaobao's grave. From now on, Xiao Yi and Xiuying will not be in danger alone, and whoever wants to hurt them will have to step on the corpses of all the Cheetah members.

Only the red soldiers went up the mountain, and Da Zhuang, the relatives brought from Enshi, all of them were very painful and sad.

The other warriors of the cavalry team guarded at the bottom of the mountain to prevent the puppet army to lead the people back, they don't know what kind of person Xiaobao is buried on the mountain? Guilty of Xiao Yi, the deputy captain and several team leaders risking their lives to come to worship after such a long journey, how deep is the friendship between them?

I only occasionally heard them mention it when I first arrived at Lion Rock, and later Xiaobao's name was taboo in the cheetah brigade, for fear of provoking their sadness, every time I saw their ruthlessness in killing devils and the cold-blooded cutting of devils' heads, I felt how big the hatred was and how deep the hatred was.

On the same day, in the 385th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the mountainous area of Jingjing County, Brigade Commander Chen held the telegram sent by the division headquarters in his hand, and was very puzzled. The division headquarters called to ask if his unit had any major moves in the Pingding County area? The devil suddenly transferred troops from Shouyang and Qingcheng to Pingding County, and even transferred tank troops and armored car brigades, is the main force of the 385 Brigade still not retreating? The devil sees the scene as he wants to encircle and suppress.

Brigade Commander Chen listened to the report of the two commanders of the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment that all the troops of the 771st Regiment had retreated, and only the three battalions of the 772nd Regiment were in Pingding County, and there were not many troops of the Eighth Route Army. What's more, Commander Ye said that the task of the third battalion is to rest and train the troops, where is the devil singing? It's such a big move.

Is he doing something famous with the strength of his hands? I have to go to the 772nd regiment to ask, don't take the life of a soldier as a child's play, this deputy regiment commander He has changed a lot since he came back, and I, as a brigade commander, should also go and enlighten him.

Brigade Commander Chen rushed to the 772nd Regiment station outside Longfeng Town, Jingcheng County, with two guards.

Regiment Commander Ye saw that the brigade commander had only come once two days ago, and at that time he had arranged the stationing and activity area of his regiment, and now he came again. The face is so ugly, is it a devil? Is there a military deployment? Hurriedly welcomed the brigade commander into the house.

On a cold day, as soon as Brigade Commander Chen sat down, he rubbed his frozen red hands, and Regiment Commander Ye hurriedly poured a cup of steaming boiled water for the brigade commander.

Brigade Commander Chen took a sip, frowned, and asked, "Commander Ye, how many other teams does your regiment have in Pingding County?" ”

Regiment Commander Ye was very surprised when he heard the brigade commander ask like this! It was only two days ago that he reported that the 772nd Regiment was ordered to evacuate, but because there were too many wounded soldiers in the third battalion, it was not suitable for long-distance transfer, and the whole battalion had more than 300 people. He replied in a daze: "Brigade commander, only Lao He's third battalion of our regiment is repaired in Pingding County, and there are no other teams. ”

"Strange, really weird? The division headquarters called, and there were no other armed teams operating in Pingding County, how could the devils suddenly increase their troops in Pingding County in large numbers, and even the mechanical troops were dispatched. After hearing this, Brigade Commander Chen muttered to himself.

"What? Brigadier Commander, what are the devils going to do? Transferring so many troops to Pingding County, wouldn't it be the discovery of the third battalion? Captain Ye was anxious when he heard this.

"Hmph, it's not that simple, you can't deal with a third battalion like this!" Brigade Commander Chen said.

Regiment Commander Ye hurriedly asked the brigade commander, "Brigade commander, what news is there from the division headquarters?" Are the devils going to sweep in Pingding County? ”

Brigade Commander Chen said solemnly: "The division headquarters is not clear, and now Pingding County can be described as a sudden storm and crisis. ”

Regiment Commander Ye was a little worried about the third battalion: "Brigade commander, what must have happened in Pingding County?" The devil will make such a big move, Lao He is impulsive in nature, because of the failure of the last battle, he has been haunted by it, and he didn't say it in his heart. Now I have some soldiers in my hands, don't be in a hurry to take revenge, I have to go and see if I anger the devil. ”

"Well, I'll go with you, Lao He is an expert in war, he has never lost a battle, he is very conceited and has no one in his eyes, he doesn't take the opponent in his eyes, he suffered such a big loss last time, and he will definitely find a chance to take revenge." Brigade Commander Chen knew this old subordinate very well.

It's a pity that the deputy head of the regiment He who they knew, after getting along with the security regiment for a month and fighting two battles with them, no longer has the arrogance he used to be, and the five bodies who were conquered by Xiaobao's tactics and combat effectiveness have become modest and cautious, a little cunning, and very patient.

The two of them said they would leave, plus Commander Ye brought a guard, and a group of five people rode to the third battalion in Pingding County. As soon as they arrived at the junction of the two counties, they met the soldiers of a reconnaissance platoon of the second battalion of the 772nd Regiment, and they reported that a large number of devils had rushed from Jingcheng County to Pingding County in the past two days. Because the devils were carrying heavy weapons, the soldiers of the second battalion did not block the attack, and the battalion commander asked the reconnaissance platoon to pay close attention to the movements of the devils.

After listening to the report, Brigade Commander Chen handed over the war horse to the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon, the target on horseback was too large and easy to be discovered, and it was not easy to hide. According to this situation, it is expected that a major event will occur in Pingding County, and the third battalion must really rush over this trip, which is related to the lives of three or four hundred people!

Looking at the time, Regiment Commander Ye said: "The brigade commander must rush to the third battalion before dark, and we must take a shortcut." ”

"Okay, there's a shortcut, of course it's a shortcut, the sooner you arrive, the better, I hope nothing happens before you arrive." Brigade Commander Chen nodded and said to Commander Ye.

"Brigade commander, you have to climb two mountains on the short road, the road is steep and difficult to walk, and it snows, and the road is quite slippery." Head Ye said with a sad face.

"Haha, Captain Ye, can two mountains scare us? What is a slippery road with a little snow? It was much more difficult to cross the grassland and plough the snowy mountains at the beginning! Walking, the weather is cold, just the activity is active, the muscles and bones are warm, and it is warm. Brigade Commander Chen patted Commander Ye on the shoulder and said.

Two hours passed, and sure enough, all five of them warmed up, but they were all tired and panting, and finally crossed the first mountain. In winter, the night is dark early, the sky is drifting with light snow, the breeze is blowing, the branches and weeds are swaying in the wind, and after a short rest, I feel even colder with my sweat clothes on my back.

Looking at the mountain in front of him, Regiment Commander Ye pointed to the top of the mountain and said: "Brigade commander, the other side of the mountain is the garrison of the third battalion, and it will take an hour to cross this mountain, and it will be dark, so you have to hurry up." ”

"Okay, let's go, hold on, when we get to the third camp, there will be a fire to roast and a hot meal." As he spoke, Brigade Commander Chen walked forward with a dead branch.

When the five of them climbed halfway up the mountain, the figures of several people were very conspicuous on the trail of the alpine forest, such a cold weather, the world was chaotic, and no one appeared in the alpine forest except for the hunters.

On the mountain, there were several pairs of eyes staring at them, and seeing that they were climbing higher and higher, it looked like they had climbed over the mountain, and a figure in the forest rushed towards the mountain, and in a few moments several men with spears on their backs came. looked at the figure halfway up the mountain, whispered a few words, and all disappeared.

Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Brigade Commander Chen straightened up, twisted his neck and said, "I haven't climbed such a high mountain for a long time, and it's quite tiring to even climb two, hold on for a while and you'll be there, go!" ”

As soon as Brigade Commander Chen's words fell, eight or nine people suddenly jumped out of the forest, blocked them in the middle, pointed their guns at gunpoint and shouted: "Don't move, raise your hands." ”

The five of them were unprepared, they were still talking and laughing just now, and they were taken aback when they ran into this encounter! Subconsciously want to pull out a gun.

The person shouted again, and if he moved again, he would shoot, to be honest, before Commander Ye's hand reached the holster, he was put on the chest with two bayonets, and one shouted: "Don't move, if you are not honest, there will be two more blood holes in your body." ”

Another person stepped forward and took away Commander Ye's pistol, and they saw that these people were all carrying 38 rifles with bayonets on them, wearing ordinary people's coarse cloth clothes, and there were a lot of patches on them, speaking Huaxia dialect, using island weapons, wouldn't they be devils?

The guns of Brigade Commander Chen's five people were taken away, and they carefully searched their bodies, but found no other weapons. Brigade Commander Chen asked softly, "May I ask who are you?" ”

The leader said: "What nonsense, but first ask us, what are you doing?" What are you doing here? And with weapons, it can't be sent by devils, right? ”

Listening to his words, the five of them were determined, this tone was not like a devil or a puppet army. Mo is not a bandit? Under the mountain is the station of the third battalion, will it be the people of the third battalion? But none of their clothes are Eighth Route uniforms, and the weapons are all used by the army of the island country, which is too suspicious, so they will not reveal their identities for the time being.

Head Ye said: "Little brother, we are passing merchants, and we only took shortcuts because we were in a hurry. The gun was bought, and the chaotic world was not peaceful, so take it with you for self-defense. ”

They were not led down the mountain, but under a cliff deep in the mountain. There were a few traces of a fire, and it seemed that they had been here for a while, and they were sheltered from the wind and rain, and a fire was made, and suddenly the temperature rose, and everyone felt warm.

Brigade Commander Chen saw that they had no intention of going down the mountain, and the secret path was not good...... These people are not from the third battalion, who will they be? Isn't the Third Battalion stationed here? Otherwise, how could this group of people be entrenched in the mountains?

They were very well guarded on the road just now, and now they have to think about getting out of here. Brigade Commander Chen and Regiment Commander Ye glanced at each other, made a look, and the two slowly moved their bodies outward.
