Taking advantage of the five days of rest in the nameless village, Xu Rui and Jiang Nan reorganized the troops. [No pop-up novel network]

The original structure of the unit was completely disrupted, and the 67th Army, the veterans of the provisional 79th Division, the southern Jiangsu guerrillas, and Cui Jiu's special forces were mixed.

The new formation of the Dameishan Independent Brigade, the captain is of course Xu Rui, and the instructor is Jiang Nan.

The independent brigade has three infantry squadrons and one machine gun squad, the first infantry squadron, the squadron leader is concurrently served by the deputy captain Leng Tiefeng, the second infantry squadron, the squadron leader is concurrently served by the deputy captain Wan Chongshan, the third infantry squadron, the squadron leader Xiao Yanyue, the machine gun squad, and the squad leader is Niu Dazhuang.

The entire independent brigade has 420 officers and men, and in terms of equipment, it has a total of 398 Type 38 rifles, 26 light machine guns with crooked handles, two Type 92 heavy machine guns, four light mortars of 81 mm caliber, and more than 10 short guns such as Wang Ba boxes and mirror boxes.

When it comes to equipment, the equipment of the independent brigade is absolutely barred.

Unfortunately, there was very little ammunition left, with an average of less than five rounds per 38-large cover, and more than 20 light and heavy machine guns and four mortars were completely turned into decorations.

Of course, even without ammunition, this equipment is quite scary.

Therefore, if such a well-equipped army swaggered into the Damei Mountains, it would not be possible to attract the attention of various forces in the Damei Mountains, so Xu Rui decided to enter the mountains in batches, and he personally led the first infantry squadron to fight the front station, and the second infantry squadron, the third squadron and the machine gun squad followed up.

Moreover, in order to hide people's eyes and ears as much as possible, there are still more than 200 miles away from the Damei Mountains, and the independent brigade has changed from daytime marching to night marching, and the reason why Xu Rui decided to do this is to not alarm the forces of all parties in the Dameishan District, and secondly, to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army.

After all, the Damei Mountain area is only more than 200 miles away from Nanjing, less than 300 miles, and at the moment the little devils are busy capturing big cities and towns along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, and they can't take care of such remote mountainous areas as the Damei Mountains for the time being, but the devil reconnaissance planes in the sky will fly out from time to time to patrol.

Therefore, the closer he got to the Damei Mountains, the more cautious Xu Rui became.

At present, the independent brigade is no better than when it was in Wuxi or Nantong.

At that time, although the morale of the independent brigade was a little worse, it had to have people, guns, and ammunition, and little Japan did not know how powerful they were, so they could act unscrupulously.

But now it is not good, now the independent brigade is not organized, and the shortage of ammunition is even more serious, especially the most important thing is that now the devils have learned their power, and they will no longer be so light on the enemy, at this time, if the devils find out their whereabouts, and let the devils be entangled, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, before the strength of the independent brigade has not developed into a strong enough, it is necessary to keep a low profile.

Although it was night, the moonlight was very bright, and you could see things within fifty meters, Xu Rui looked around, and suddenly raised his right hand, and the follow-up team members squatted down one after another, guarding in place.

Xu Rui waved again and called the leader of the first squad to him.

In order to break the various small groups, Xu Rui mixed the independent brigade, the soldier was originally the squad leader of the southern Jiangsu guerrillas, but after the mixing, he became the captain of the first squad of the first infantry squadron, became Leng Tiefeng's direct subordinates, and like Li Hai, became a subordinate of Wanzhongshan, and Heipi became Xiao Yanyue's subordinate.

The soldier came to Xu Rui, squatted down and asked, "Captain, you called me?" ”

Xu Rui nodded, pointed to the dark hill in front of him, and asked, "Where is this?" ”

The soldier's hometown is in Guanxian County north of Damei Mountain, and he is also half of Dameishan, so he is quite familiar with the terrain of Damei Mountain, plus he and Cui Jiu just came to Meizhen a few days ago, so they recognized the hill in front of him as Shaqiao Gang at a glance.

The soldier replied: "Captain, this is Shaqiao Gang, and after crossing Shaqiao Gang, it will be Meizhen." ”

"Shaqiao Gang?" Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "This is Shaqiaogang, the gateway to Damei Mountain?" ”

The soldier snorted, and then said: "There are two sand bridges, divided into sand bridges and sand bridges, although the hill is not high, the terrain is very steep, especially the sand bridge, in addition to the sand bridge about three meters wide for people and animals to pass, both sides are four or five meters high cliffs, and you can't climb up at all. ”

Leng Tiefeng next to him asked: "Except for Shaqiaogang, is there really no other way to enter Meizhen and enter Damei Mountain?" ”

"How is that possible, there must be a path to enter the Damei Mountains." Xu Rui said abruptly, "Otherwise, how would the bandits from Dameishan go down the mountain to rob their homes?" They can't borrow the road from Meizhen every time, and even if the bandits in Dameishan want to borrow the way, the security team and the Huidaomen in Meizhen may not be willing to borrow it. ”

"There must be other ways into the mountain, because the bandits in Damei Mountain go out to rob homes and houses, and rarely take Shaqiaogang, after all, the security team in Meizhen is not a decoration." The GI nodded, and said, "However, I'm afraid it's hard for outsiders to find." ”

"That's someone else." Xu Rui said hesitantly, "If Lao Tzu wants to find the secret path of these bandits, isn't it a piece of cake?" Even if there is really no path into the mountain, Lao Tzu can find one! ”

The soldier persuaded: "Captain, even if you can find the secret passage of the bandits, I don't recommend leaving, because these bandits have been entrenched in Dameishan for many years, and they have already managed the secret passages to the fullest, and it is completely conceivable that the secret passages must be full of traps......

"Traps?" Xu Rui interrupted the soldier and said with a smile, "What Lao Tzu is not afraid of is traps. ”

"Lao Xu, why don't you go directly to Meizhen?" Leng Tiefeng was puzzled, "Although we are ****, but now that we are cooperating for the second time between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Huang Shixun does not dare not let us garrison, wouldn't it be better to be stationed in Meizhen than to be stationed in Damei Mountain?" What's more, Meizhen still has a gateway like Shaqiaogang that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how good is it? ”

Leng Tiefeng really felt that the Independent Brigade should be stationed in Meizhen.

Although the Independent Brigade has become the best army, but now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating for the second time, Huang Shixun, as the mayor of the town, can't find a legitimate reason not to let the Independent Brigade enter the town garrison, whether it is the first army or the Kuomintang troops, all of them are China's national defense forces, who dares to prevent the national defense forces from entering Meizhen to protect the territory and the people?

As for the benefits of garrisoning Meizhen, there is no need to talk about it, first of all, it is easy to raise supplies.

Another Meizhen has a large population, and it is easy to recruit soldiers, but once you enter Dameishan, it is not easy to go down the mountain to raise supplies, and it is even more difficult to recruit soldiers to expand the troops.

"Garrison Meizhen?" The corners of Xu Rui's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and said, "Our Dameishan Independent Brigade will garrison Meizhen sooner or later, but it's not time yet." ”

"It's not time yet?" The GI was puzzled and asked, "Why is that?" ”

Xu Rui smiled and said, "Because there is still too little oil and water in Dameishan now." ”

"There is still too little oil and water in Dameishan now?" The soldier was still confused, but Leng Tiefeng understood Xu Rui's intentions and said, "It turns out that Old Xu, you fought with this idea. ”

"Isn't it good?" Xu Rui said hesitantly, "At present, the quality of the soldiers of our independent brigade is still uneven, especially the members of the original guerrillas, who have no ideological consciousness and fighting spirit, but their technical and tactical literacy is extremely poor, and the rout of the original 69th Army is depressed and lacks fighting spirit. ”

Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Obviously, Leng Tiefeng has been convinced.

At that moment, Xu Rui shouted: "Let's go, bypass Shaqiao Gang." ”

(Dividing Line)

As mentioned above, the entire Dameishan District is like a big crab crawling on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the two mountains poking out from the left and right are like a pair of big pincers of the big crab, surrounding the Meishan Basin, and Meizhen is at the intersection of this pair of tongs, which can be described as the front portal into Dameishan.

And the two mountains that surround the Meishan Basin, the right is Qingfeng Ridge, the left is Qingniuling, Qingniuling stretches for more than 20 miles from northwest to southeast, there are eighteen peaks of large and small, the highest and most dangerous mountain peak is called Qingniuping, Qingniuzhai is built in the middle of the mountainside of Qingniuping.

In the Juyi Hall of Qingniu Village, Nan Batian was drinking with several bandit leaders such as the Channeling Monkey.

The fat R to the mouth is cheaper than the race red breeze of Qingfeng Village, do you say that Nanbatian can be in a good mood?

You know, this is not dozens or hundreds of rice noodles, but nearly two thousand rice noodles, if you don't let Sai Hongfu snatch this batch of rice noodles, they Qingniuzhai will not have to worry about food in the next three or five years.

The little eyes of the monkey stared at the ground under his feet, and his bones were spinning for a while, as if he was thinking about some important matter, and only after a long time did he say: "Carry the handle, or let's leave." ”

As soon as they heard this, the rest of the bandit leaders immediately perked up.

"Yes, big brother, we can't afford to mess with Saihongfu, but we should be able to hide, right?"

"That's it, that good man doesn't fight with women, let's not stay in Dameishan."

"The second boss is right, this Dameishan is simply a poor mountain and bad water, let's not stay."

The opinions of the dozen or so bandit leaders present were surprisingly unanimous, and all of them advocated leaving Dameishan.

Nan Batian's one-eyed eyes swept over the faces of more than a dozen old brothers one by one, and his heart was first angry, a group of big men, but let a group of little ladies drive out of Dameishan, if this spreads, he is embarrassed to call himself Nan Batian?

But the next moment, Nan Batian was immediately deflated again.

It's not okay if you're not discouraged, it's really just a little girl's skin.

Sai Hongfu's little girl's skin may really be the reincarnation of the red whisk girl in the three heroes of the Tang Dynasty, not only skilled, but also wise, the eighteenth road heroes in Damei Mountain, in just three years, was swallowed up by this little Niangpi Nine Roads, and took away the eight roads, and his Qingniu Village became the only remaining road.

But now, his Qingniuzhai really can't hold on.

"That's fine." At that moment, Nan Batian sighed and said gloomily, "Then let's go!" ”

However, as soon as Nan Batian's voice fell, a disdainful voice suddenly sounded outside the Juyi Hall: "A group of uncles and masters, but let a little girl be scared like this, it's really embarrassing." ”
