After entering the Cangyan Mountain Boundary, Yue Siliang felt that the people around him were gradually getting more and more.

Although the Japanese have now occupied all the important cities in North China, they have not been harassed too much by the devils in the villages far from the towns, so it does not seem to be too much panicked.

"Cheng Fei, where exactly did the brigade commander tell us to gather......

Along the way, they hid several groups of devils, and when they finally arrived at their destination, Yue Siliang's whole person relaxed. Immediately led the team to slow down, and did not run casually anymore. If you go through it again, you will have to turn back.

"Commander, the place where we gathered is called Niu Jinzhai."

Cheng Fei immediately quickly answered Yue Siliang's question, as Yue Siliang's gold medal correspondent, Cheng Fei is also a member of the guard platoon, and now Cheng Fei has long since lost the jerkiness when he first arrived at the 424th regiment.

"Niu Jinzhai."

Yue Siliang was talking about this name, and Liu Chuan immediately searched for it on the map. However, Liu Chuan looked for it, but said to Yue Siliang helplessly.

"Commander, the map does not mark the place of Niujinzhai."

"Huh?"

Yue Siliang was stunned for a moment, and then understood the brigade commander's intentions. The map they used was already relatively accurate and detailed, and such a map was not marked, which shows the brigade commander's intentions.

"Since it's not on the map, let's ask the fellow for directions."

Yue Siliang said as he led a few people to the side of the road and stopped a passing fellow and said.

"This fellow ......"

The fellow who was carrying the burden saw the soldiers of the second battalion walking in line on the road, and he was already subconsciously leaning on the side of the road to act, but now when he saw Yue Siliang leading people over, he was dodging backwards.

"Boss, I'm a responsible person, and I don't have any money......"

The middle-aged man was nervous and said the truth in his mouth, but then he felt that it was inappropriate to say it. There is a reason why he is afraid, there is a saying: "Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates". In the eyes of the common people, some Qiu Ba are even more powerful than bandits.

In this era of war and chaos, if there is a gun, it is the king of grass, and there may be several teams in a province, wearing military uniforms in a mess. Among these warlords, perhaps not all of them are like bandits. But after all, there is that kind of warlord who never knows how to affirm military discipline and restrain his subordinates.

The white sand is in Nirvana, and it is black with it. The common people, especially those with a relatively low level of education, will not be able to distinguish between the good and the bad of these soldiers, and even if they want to, they will not know how to distinguish them.

In this way, the people naturally want to hide when they see the soldiers. When I saw a soldier taking the initiative to come over, I subconsciously thought that I was going to blackmail.

"Hehe, fellow, don't worry. We're not robbers, we're here to ask for directions. ”

What this fellow thought in his heart, Yue Siliang was naturally clear, and he was not in a hurry to explain. For so many years, the bad impression left by the soldier in the hearts of the public cannot be changed overnight, and it makes no sense for him to stand here and explain a few words, so he directly explained his intentions.

"Oh, oh, always ask for directions, it's good to ask for directions."

Only then did the fellow stabilize his mind, but his eyes were still a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look at Yue Siliang.

"Fellow, I want to ask how to get to Niujinzhai?"

"Niu Jinzhai, oh, Niu Jinzhai is. Niujinzhai still has to walk forward for more than ten miles, which is called Bailaogou. Follow the road all the way on, and there is a fork in the road three miles away. Go up the mountain from the fork in the road above, and go over Cangyan Mountain to Niujin Village. ”

This fellow could see that he was really nervous, and after quickly answering Yue Siliang's question, he looked at Yue Siliang pitifully.

"Thank you, fellow, we just ask for directions, you can go and get busy first."

Yue Siliang thanked politely, and at the same time turned sideways to make way for this fellow. Looking at the road in front of him, the man who was walking was really a little stunned now, when had he ever seen such politeness as a soldier? In the past, when he entered the city, those who guarded the city gate and ate tax cards were not only skin-picking, cramping, and bone sucking, but they also had to make things difficult. Why is this "boss" I met today so easy to talk to?

Thinking about it, the strength in his hands weakened a little, and the burden on his shoulders was about to slide down. Just when he was so startled, Cheng Fei immediately stretched out his hand to support the burden of this fellow.

"Fellow, we're fine, we can go."

As he spoke, Cheng Fei helped him carry the burden back on his shoulders. This fellow's mind was blank, six points of surprise, three points of surprise, one point of indescribable step by step, three times turned away.

"It seems that there is a lot of tension between the soldiers and the people here."

See the subtlety, and know the autumn with a leaf. Just from the trivial matter of asking for directions, Yue Siliang can see many problems.

"yes."

Liu Chuan responded lightly and wetly beside him, which made Yue Siliang feel a little bored. Di Hanming was not around, and there was no one who could catch his words and turn out the subtext. If Di Hanming was here, he would definitely follow:

"There is a lot we can do in such an environment of struggle."

However, Liu Chuan is a battalion commander who is conscientious and only studies military-related matters, and he knows nine out of ten about this, but he doesn't know anything about it. Naturally, there was no way to discuss this issue with Yue Siliang. Thinking of this, Yue Siliang looked forward to the meeting with Di Hanming after the brigade commander assigned the area of responsibility.

After confirming the way to Niujin Village, all the soldiers moved along that road. When they came to the fork in the road at the foot of Cangyan Mountain, they met a squad of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army there.

After seeing his own people, Yue Siliang knew at that time that he was on the right path, and these soldiers should have been sent by the brigade commander to pick up the various departments.

Walked up and asked, these soldiers are really from the brigade headquarters, and at this moment, the brigade commander has set up a camp in Niujinzhai and is waiting for the various departments to assemble. After confirming each other's identities, the brigade squad took Yue Siliang and headed straight towards Niujin Village.

After talking like this on the way, I realized that only one of the brigades had not arrived, and the other regiments had already arrived first. Thinking about it, this time the battle belonged to their regiment with the largest number of troops, and the other brother troops were all lightly armed.

The location chosen by the brigade headquarters is at the foot of a mountain, and behind the brigade headquarters is the road that circles up the mountain, and in front of the brigade headquarters is a fork in the road, one road is the road that Yue Siliang and they walked in from the outside, and the other is the road down into the ditch, and there is a small river in the ditch, which is very convenient for water when stationed here.

Walking into the conference room of the brigade headquarters, Yue Siliang saw the brigade commander sitting in the main seat at a glance, as well as several other colleagues.

"Yo! Lao Yue has arrived! Your group is walking so slowly, you must have got something good again! This time I robbed the little devil's train, I'm afraid that your old Yue's pocket has bulged a lot, right? ”

The first thing to talk to Yue Siliang was a regiment commander, this is also an old soldier, when Yue Siliang was in Lingqiu before, the other party's regiment was not ambiguous in the northeast of Jin, and he fought nine battles with the devil, and the team's combat effectiveness was very strong.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, you should drink tea with peace of mind, and pay less attention to my pocket. This time, I was eye-catching, but I didn't touch the treasure, but brought back a few devils who ate dry rice. ”

"Hahaha, you see I said that he Yue Siliang is an old pick! Whoever wants to hit him in the waist bag pays attention to the teeth at that time! Okay! When the devil's expert came to him, he could make him say that he was eating dry rice! ”

Head Chen, who was sitting on the other side, patted his thigh and laughed at that time, and Yue Siliang, who was teasing, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Sitting casually in the position that was obviously reserved for him, the brigade commander opened his mouth after a few more conversations and greetings with each other.

"Alright, let's have a meeting now. In this battle with the devil, we look like a cannonball hitting mosquitoes, and the movement is quite big, but the substantial damage caused to the devil is not to fight. However, it is naturally impossible for us to leave with such a shot, and the battle with the devil is still to come. ”

After leaving the battlefield, the brigade commander looked very kind, and even now presiding over the meeting, with a hint of a smile on his face. Looking at the faint smile of the brigade commander, the cadres in the conference room were very down-to-earth. When foreign reporters came to China to cover news, they once called the brigade commander "the most mysterious general in the East." On the battlefield, the brigade commander has always been imaginative and magnificent.

"Brigade commander, just say it, what should we do next."

Regiment Commander Zhang said with high emotions, this time the whole brigade will fight in Hebei, once each regiment has assigned the area of responsibility, and then the team will be expanded.
