The weather in the mountains is getting colder, and the snow has begun to clear, and the brothers sent out to build the secret camp have also returned one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe brothers sent out by the various armies to inquire about the news came back to report, saying that the little devil had not moved, but the news of the defeat of the devil by the Guangfu Army spread outside the mountain, and the common people rushed to tell each other, and the reputation of the Guangfu Army was greatly enhanced, especially the river dragon was spread to be divine.

On this day, the commander-in-chief convened a meeting again, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, the commander-in-chief said: "Today, let's focus on discussing the food problem of the team, which is now about to enter the winter, and the food of the team seems to be a big problem. ”

"I'm getting ready. Little Japan was very tight on food, and this had become an important means for them to besiege the anti-Japanese forces. It is very difficult to buy grain in large quantities and transport it to the mountains, so we can only adopt the method of breaking up the whole grain and buying less and transporting it frequently. I calculated that in another month or two, we will be able to store some grain, which can be used tightly until next summer, and now there is more grain in and no more food consumed. Yu Jackie Chan reported.

"It's not okay to make a small fuss like this, we have to store a lot of food. Several small anti-Japanese teams contacted us and expressed their willingness to join our Liberation Army, but they did not fulfill it. I think this is mainly because they haven't encountered any danger yet, if they are targeted by little Japan, or cut off rice and food, you don't need to invite, they will come by themselves. So food is a big deal, we can't always worry about this, my opinion is the same as the last time Jiangyuan grabbed grain, inquire accurately, and do it again. Said the Admiral.

"I'm afraid this won't work, last time it was the devil who was defenseless, so we easily got it. At present, the Japanese devils have already been eyeing us, and several directions out of the mountain are full of devils' spies, and it is easy to be targeted as soon as the team is dispatched, which is too dangerous. Commander Xiao said.

"I think so, at present, the Japanese devils are also stepping up the collection of grain, and the grain stores run by the Japanese are also buying a large number of them. Commander Yu, you go to prepare, take your team out of the mountain, and do it again, I heard that we have food, and some teams will take the initiative to come to the door, they are more short of food than us. What do you think? The commander-in-chief stared at Yu Chengchan.

"Line to line. But I don't think it's appropriate to send a large team out of the mountain now, although little Japan is not moving at the moment, but we don't know when he will attack Tianjiao Ridge again, our spies haven't penetrated into their interior, and we don't know anything about their thoughts. However, the Japanese devils want to eliminate our Guangfu army is certain, at this time send one-third of the brothers out of the mountain, I don't think it's appropriate, if the devils come to attack, the number of people will definitely not be less than last time, and it is winter, there is no cover, even if you retreat, it is easy to leave footprints, and you are entangled by devils. If the commander-in-chief insists that I take my brothers out of the mountain, I suggest that all the troops withdraw to the secret camp together, and when I return from the food, I will transport the food to the secret camp and contact you. Yu Chenglong said.

"I don't think the matter is so serious, with the last experience, if little Japan really wants to attack the mountain, we can resist him for a while, it's really not too late to retreat, you can go with confidence." At present, food is very important, and it is necessary to raise it as soon as possible. Said the Admiral.

"I think it's safer to withdraw now, our secret camp has been built, pull the team over, the cat will be in winter, and then go out of the mountain to fight the devil in the spring next year, so it's safer." Commander Xiao said.

"So be it. Commander Yu will take a hundred brothers and go down the mountain tomorrow, sooner rather than later, and the brothers of the Right Route Army who are left behind will keep your existing belongings to the secret. The defense of Mopan Mountain was handed over to the Central Route Army to take over, and both the Left Route Army and the Middle Route Army must be ready to withdraw into the secret camp, and some things can be withdrawn first, which means that after the army commander returns, we will enter the secret camp together, leave this to the little devils first, and come back next year to compete with them. After the commander-in-chief gave the order, he asked the three of them to leave and prepare for their own departure.

Yu Chenglong returned to Mopan Mountain and conveyed the commander-in-chief's orders to Deputy Army Commander Zhang and the battalion commanders, and asked them to arrange matters such as leaving the mountain, defense handover, and entering the secret camp.

After that, he called the three brothers from the Ministry of Food and Money and said to them: "He Laogui went to inform the brothers of the Ministry of Money and Grain, who bought grain at the foot of the mountain, to stop buying grain, and all contact points also stopped buying grain, and the grain that had been purchased was stored on the spot and waited for dispatch. Then you and the three brothers who went down the mountain to buy grain in pairs, and the road leading to Dawa Mountain in the Jiangyuan area will be clearly inspected, and after seven days, you will go to the contact point in Dale Town, and I will send someone to connect with you, so go now, be careful, don't go on a business trip! ”

He Laogui promised to go out first. Yu Chenglong said to the other two brothers: "You two go to the Jiangyuan area to find out the news, there is our big granary in Manchuria, where the devils are collecting, storing and processing grain, it is best to find one of their processing plants, and we will take the grain he has processed." It was the Great Plains, the hinterland of the concentrated population, and the devils were not very well fortified, and the troops were not concentrated, so it was easy to get it. After finding out clearly, I went to the deputy commander of Jiangyuan County to meet with me. Go now, be careful and stay safe on the road. ”

After sending away the brothers from the Money and Food Department, Yu Chenglong found two brothers with experience in the mountains and forests and asked them to explore the mountain path from the direction of the secret camp, and the team followed up.

The next day, Yu Chengchan asked the team to explore the road under the leadership of Deputy Commander Zhang, and he went to say goodbye to the commander-in-chief.

When he came to Tianjiaoling, Yu Chenglong reported in detail to the commander-in-chief about his plan to go out of the mountain and the route of travel, and the commander-in-chief and Commander Xiao sent him far away and told him some things. After Yu Chenglong said goodbye to the commander-in-chief and Commander Xiao, he urged the horse to chase the troops.

The team walked around the mountain for five days before approaching the edge of the mountain. Yu Chenglong asked the team to stop and wait, sent people out to reconnoitre, and chose the path out of the mountain.

When it was dark, the brothers who had been sent out came back one after another, reporting that this place was called Erdaoweizi, and that the nearest tunzi had to be thirty miles away, and it was safe to get out of the mountain from here. There is a village called Toudaoliang more than 50 miles away from here, and there is our contact point, so you can go there and inquire again.

"Let's not go to the contact point when we go out of the mountain. Who knows if there's a place we can hide from this hundred miles away? Let's get there. Yu Chenglong asked left and right.

"Speaking of the first beam, I know where we are now. There is a village called Wu Da sauce jar one hundred and fifty or sixty miles away, and the whole village is related to the family, and there is a rich man in the village named Wu Lao Mao. One year, the Second Fort led me to take my brothers to smash his kiln, and when I inquired about our relatives after I succeeded, I pleaded with the No. 2 Fort and blackmailed them for money and let their family go. This was still when I was in Dulong Mountain. Wu Lao Mao is very grateful to me, and he asked someone to bring me a message two years ago, his house is big, and there is no problem for us to hide these people. Deputy Army Commander Zhang Daoxian said.

"Okay, brothers, let's eat some dry food right away, and rush to Wu Da sauce jar before dawn. You lead the way, we just stay for the day and hurry at night. Tell the brothers that we have committed no crime in autumn, we can't discredit the Liberation Army, and we will give money for food and horses. Yu Jackie Chan ordered.

Taking advantage of the night, a team of people made a detour to Guitun, and as soon as the sky was bright, they arrived outside the village of Wu Da sauce jar. Deputy Commander Zhang led people to contact, and Yu Chengchan led people to rest outside the tun. After a while, Deputy Army Commander Zhang sent someone back to welcome Army Commander Yu and his entourage into the village and to Wu Laomao's house.

After hiding for a day and eating at night, Yu Chenglong asked Deputy Commander Zhang to settle the accounts, pay the money, and prepare to leave.

"I can't take your money, but if you can look up to me, I'll burn high incense when I live here, and I can't ask for money if I say anything. Besides, I am related to Brother Zhang, and he is still kind to me, so I can't ask for money, who do you think of me? "Wu Dang's life and death are not accepted.

"Master Wu, I know it's not easy for you, thank you very much for letting us stay for a day. The money is not much, you accept it, this is the rule of our Manchurian Liberation Army, and it cannot be violated. Thank you, we take our leave! Yu Chenglong flew on the horse as he spoke.

"You are the Manchurian Liberation Army, specializing in small Japan?" Wu Lao Mao looked surprised.

"Yes, he is our commander. Goodbye, Brother Wu! Deputy Commander Zhang mounted his horse and ordered his brothers to set off.

"The Liberation Army? Captains...... Cross the river dragon! Then I can't even ask for money, just when I do something to fight devils. Divine soldiers, heavenly generals, I have seen Jiang Longla! Wu Lao Mao got up from the ground and ran and shouted, but the Guangfu Army had disappeared into the long night.

It was another dawn, and the team came to a bush in Jiangwan, Yu Chengchan asked the team to hide well, and said to Deputy Commander Zhang: "You take your brothers to hide here, you are not allowed to light a fire during the day, and you can light less fires in the second half of the night, so that the brothers can be warm and warm, and hot porridge to drink." Secret outposts should be sent on all sides, and if there is a situation, evacuate immediately, and do not engage the enemy. Send a brother to the contact point in Dale Town to find the four brothers from the Money and Food Department and bring them here. It's early winter here, although Jiang didn't freeze to death, but the fishermen are no longer coming, there are very few people, you send someone to look for it, if there is a more hidden place than this to take the brothers to hide, don't expose it. I'll be back to you in two days at the latest, goodbye! ”

"Goodbye, take care!" In the farewell of Deputy Commander Zhang, Yu Chenglong galloped away in the other direction.

In the evening, Yu Chenglong came to a tunzi in the east of Jiangyuan County, put the horse in a village, and walked to the county seat. When I came to Mother Flower's residence, it was nearly midnight. Yu Chenglong observed left and right, jumped into the warehouse from the front, and jumped into the yard. There was no light in the room, and it was clear that the person had fallen asleep. He came to the window of the east room, listened to the movement, and raised his hand to knock on the window.

"Who?" There was a noise in the house.

"I'm a mountain lady." Yu Jackie Chan replied.

"We don't know Tsukiko, let's go."

"I'm Huang Xuanzi."

The lights were on in the room, but the thick curtains blocked it, and the outside could not see the inside. The door opened, and a woman came out and said, "Come in!" ”

Yu Chengchan walked into the east house, and Hua's mother got down to the ground and grabbed him with both hands: "Jackie Chan, it's you, hurry up and sit on the kang, my mother is looking forward to you every day." Shan Ju go and call Shan Xing, and the two of you will cook for Commander Yu. Are you alone? ”

"I'm alone. Is Mother Flower okay? It seems to be a little thin. Yu Jackie Chan said affectionately.

"It's all good! You've lost weight too. Our Liberation Army has won a great victory, and we are all happy. This time you are famous, even children know about Jianglong. The Japanese put up notices everywhere to arrest you, but they don't look like you at all, but you have to be careful. Sit down quickly, take off your shoes, it's hot inside. Mother Hua forced Yu Chenglong to pull him into the kang.

At this time, a man who was slightly older than Yu Jackie Chan walked into the house and called Hua's mother the second aunt.

"Come, let me introduce you to you, this is Yu Jackie Chan that I often mention, my uncle. This is the child of my cousin's family, surnamed Yuan, called Shuangqiang. My cousin died early, leaving such a lone seedling, his father found him a stepmother, and he couldn't give birth yet, so the two of them guarded such a child. But who knew that the Japanese devil came, arrested his father as a laborer, and beat him to death, and his stepmother was angry and followed. The rest of the boy wanted to avenge his father, so I introduced him to our team. is also at the age of talking about marriage, I see that he and Shan Xing are quite temperamental, and I asked Commander Xiao, and she agreed, so let them get married, and there is a good response to lurking here. Now I'm running errands for the police station, and I'm looking for someone to let him join the garrison, and now I have eyebrows. "Mother Hua said so much in one breath.

"Commander Yu, your subordinates are polite!" Yuan Shuangqiang was about to kneel down as he spoke.

"Brother Shuangqiang doesn't have to be polite, we are like-minded brothers, it doesn't have to be like this. Come, you sit too! Yu Chenglong affectionately pulled Yuan Shuangqiang to sit on the kang.

"In terms of seniority, you have to call Jackie Chan brother-in-law, and that's what you call it in the future." Mother Hua said with a smile.

The meal was served, it was very simple, and Yu Jackie Chan beckoned everyone to eat together.

"They've all eaten. Shuangqiang and Shan Xing, you two go back to the house to rest, there is something to do tomorrow, I will accompany Shan Ju. I didn't do anything, it's all ready-made, I'm afraid you'll be hungry. Come, Mother Hua will accompany you to take a sip and relieve your fatigue. Mother Hua sent Shuangqiang and the two away, and asked Shanju to give some wine, and the two of them drank a little. After eating, Shan Ju cleaned up.

"Let's stay here, you are on the kang, I will be next to you, let Shanju sleep on the kang for a while." Mother Hua took the futon and laid it out for Jackie Chan.

"It's not convenient, I'll just go and live in the lower room." Yu Jackie Chan said.

"The lower room didn't burn, it was too cold. What's inconvenient, it's not common for men and women to squeeze together after drilling the ravine for so many years. Listen to me, take off your clothes and go to sleep, it looks like you haven't taken off your clothes and slept in days. Take off the clothes inside tomorrow morning and change them, and let the Shanju sisters wash and mend for you, and go to sleep first! Mother Hua pulled Yu Chenglong to the kang.

Yu Jackie Chan stopped arguing, stripped and lay down. Mother Flower also stripped and lay down. After Shan Ju cleaned up, turned off the lights, and stripped down to sleep in the dark.

"Where is Yinping's grave? I want to check it out. Yu Chenglong asked in a low voice.

"It's a shame that you're still thinking about her, this kid's life is miserable. The tomb is seven or eight miles from here, and tomorrow I will take you there. Mother Hua spoke with a crying tone.

"Don't be too sad, let's all sleep." Yu Chengchan turned over and closed his eyes in a sad mood. He thought about it a lot, his heart was heavy, and he fell asleep in a daze when it was almost dawn.

The next morning, Yu Chengchan got up late, and he paid for Shanju to go to the street to help him buy some sacrifices. After eating, he went to Yinping's grave with Mother Hua to pay respects.

Yinping's tomb was very small and there was no monument, but this was lucky compared to the other brothers who died. Yu Jackie Chan half-knelt on the ground, put the offerings on the table, lit the paper, and stood with Mother Hua, mourning silently.

It wasn't until a pile of dark paper burned and the paper ashes drifted in the wind that the two turned around and left silently, with tears in their eyes. The bleak early winter was shrouded in a desolate atmosphere.
