[Seek mutual powder and hide each other! 】

After three days of quiet rest and preparation, the first and third brigades began to move to the new secret camp with the wounded and sick, and Yu Chenglong sent two guides with the team. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before parting, Captain Xiao came to say goodbye to Yu Chengchan, and the two told each other a lot of words.

"Haizi, this mission is different from the usual and very dangerous. If you are far away, you can't contain the devils, and if you are close, you can easily be caught up, and you people can't withstand the pursuit of the devils. I advise you to restrain the devils and lead them out of the mountains, and you will run out of the mountains. It's freezing in the mountains, and if you don't get wiped out by the devils, you have to freeze to death. Go out of the mountain to find a place to hide, and when it gets warm next year, you will come back into the mountain to contact us, and you can run as much as you can. Don't be reckless, let your temperament come. The third aunt is very worried about you, you have to be obedient. Captain Xiao said.

"Don't worry, third aunt, I know the severity. Not only must you protect yourself, but also protect these brothers in life and death, and you will not come nonsense. After arriving at the new secret camp, we must do a good job of concealment, and in case we do not contain the devils, we must also be ready to evacuate at any time. At that time, he ran out of the mountain, just like when Tianyao Ridge was scattered, first hidden, and then tried to make a comeback. Yu Chenglong held Captain Xiao's hand tightly.

"I won't say more. Take care! Although Captain Xiao had tears in his eyes, he still said a lot of words before parting.

After another two days, the General Political Commissar, the Commander-in-Chief, and the Chief of the General Staff also began to move together with the Second and Fifth Brigades. Yu Chenglong planned to let Political Commissar Jin lead the team to transfer with the headquarters, but Political Commissar Jin refused to live or die, so he had to stay. There was no way, the team had to be led by Captain Wu and transferred with the large army.

After the transfer of the large army, Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers to make all the remaining food into rice, form rice balls, and put them outside to freeze. The two wounded horses left behind after the withdrawal of the large army were painfully killed, divided and cooked, and distributed equally to each soldier to be put away and ready to eat on the road. The soldiers were also asked to smash more indigo grass belts and prepare to keep warm to prevent frostbite. After making all the preparations, Yu Jackie Chan ordered the team to rest, sleep well, and wait for the arrival of the devil.

After a few more days, the soldiers who followed the reconnaissance came back and reported that the devil's brigade had begun to move, left the occupied secret camp, and pounced on us.

Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance to also prepare, and sent two more people to reconnoiter in the direction where the large army retreated. After another two days, the soldier in charge of reconnaissance came back and reported that the devil was still two days away from here at most. Yu Chenglong told the soldiers to rest and sleep immediately, and ordered them to prepare for transfer at dawn the next day.

The soldiers got up early in the morning to prepare hot meals and meals, and lined up at dawn to prepare for departure.

Political Commissar Jin looked at the energetic fighters and made a pre-war mobilization on behalf of the brigade.

"Comrades and brothers, we have a very heavy task this time, which is to contain more than 2,000 devils and the Jing'an Army and ensure the smooth transfer of the large army. We will face two major tests, one is the ferocious Japanese devils, and the other is the harsh winter, if we are the slightest careless, we may be killed by these two enemies, and a difficult test awaits us! Our four brigades are a brave and tenacious team, especially capable of fighting, since its establishment, invincible, never suffered defeat. The head of the corps trusts us, and the comrades who fought with us are looking forward to us! Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu Chenglong still personally commanded our team, which made us more confident in victory! Our comrades who have been left behind are all elites, the backbone of our army, and we should be full of confidence that we will definitely be able to complete our tasks and achieve victory! I see that the comrades are all eager to try, don't be in a hurry first, some battles are fought. Now the team is disbanded, and an hour later it will depart. I saw that some comrades did not have masks, some had too little indigo grass, and some had too little to bring, so I immediately went back to prepare. Bring everything you can bring, don't be afraid of bulky, don't too much, we don't know how long we have to deal with the devil in the mountains, the first important thing is to overcome the cold, and now go back to the secret camp to prepare again. ”

An hour later, the team regrouped and set off. Along the route of the transfer of the large troops, the team lined up, with Jackie Chan in front, Political Commissar Jin in the center, and Deputy Captain Zhang in the back.

The team marched slowly, leaving observation posts as they went. When it was almost evening, the team climbed a mountain beam along the ravine, Yu Chengchan ordered the team to stop, lit more than ten fires, left a few people to have a hot meal, and he led a large army to explore the road along the mountain beam.

After dark, Yu Chengchan led the team back, and everyone had the first dinner after leaving the secret camp. That night, the team of three or five people stayed together around the fire for one night. At dawn the next day, the remaining reconnaissance post came back to report that the devil's brigade had arrived at the secret camp last night, and there had been no movement for the time being. Yu Jackie Chan asked the soldiers to heat up and eat, and then asked everyone to put out the fire.

Towards noon, the scouts came back to report that the enemy had first sent a small force, about thirty or so men to explore the front, and to feel in this direction.

"Is it a devil or a Jing'an army? What are the movements of the enemy's large forces? Yu Chenglong asked.

"All the Jing'an Army. The enemy's brigade also began to eat and assemble, and it seemed likely that they might follow. The Scout replied.

Yu Chengchan ordered Deputy Captain Zhang to take 20 people to ambush on the opposite hillside, and attack immediately after the battle began, striving to completely annihilate the enemy's pathfinder troops, and capture those who surrendered alive. Let Political Commissar Jin lead ten people to take things along the path-finding path last night, and if there are too many things, they will go back and forth, and when the battle is over, the team will catch up with them, don't be too anxious. He led twenty men and prepared to block the enemy from the front.

The enemy's pathfinder came really fast, and just after noon, these people appeared at the foot of the mountain, and after a little concentration, they lined up and climbed up the mountain. Along the path that the troops stepped out of when they were transferred, they easily came to the ambush of Yu Chengchan and others, and they were about to step on the soldiers in front of them, and the enemy had not yet noticed it.

Yu Jackie Chan jumped up and killed the enemy's top soldier with one shot. Immediately, the soldier with a machine gun jumped up, fired at the enemy's mountaineering dragon, and then rushed down the mountain led by Yu Chengchan. At the same time, Deputy Captain Zhang, who was ambushed on the opposite hillside, also began to shoot and charge. Most of the 20 or so Jing'an troops were shot and killed at all, and some of the rest surrendered with their hands raised, and some lay on the ground and were captured alive. Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers to take off the overcoats of the killed enemies, collect the guns and ammunition, remove the bolts, let the prisoners carry them, and escort them to chase after the political commissar Jin.

It was not yet dark, and they caught up with the political commissar Jin who had retreated in advance. Yu Chenglong led the team in the front, Political Commissar Jin was in the center, and Deputy Captain Zhang escorted the prisoners behind. After crossing a mountain, it was completely dark, Yu Chenglong waited for the political commissar Jin to come, explained to her, and led the team along the ravine, and after climbing a mountain, the team stopped. Putting down the things, Yu Chenglong left a few people to light more than a dozen fires, hot meals to keep warm, and he took people back the same way to pick up Political Commissar Jin and Deputy Captain Zhang. After the three of them met, they led the team to the top of the mountain to eat and keep warm.

"It's convenient for everyone to take a little rest after eating, and take things and go overnight. After we ambushed the enemy's Jing'an army, which was exploring the way first, we took the route and left the retreat route of the large army. In order not to leave traces of the enemy, the large army made a detour along the glacier, and if the devils could follow us, then our goal of containing the enemy would be preliminarily achieved. If the devil's army doesn't come, we'll go back and attack them and force the devil to take the bait. Leave the two of them here to observe the movements of the devils. The next step is to contain the enemy's bull's nose and prevent it from getting off the hook, and the next step is to drag it down, so that the enemy will never dare to enter the mountains to harass this winter! Yu Chenglong said to Political Commissar Jin and Deputy Captain Zhang.

"Don't worry, the enemy will take the bait. I interrogated the captives one by one, shot the two guilty ones, and let the rest go. Rip off their coats, on such a cold day, they must run back, the devil heard that they were chasing Jianglong in front, and they didn't chase desperately! Commissar Jin said with a smile.

"Let the brothers make the fire more vigorous, let's go now, according to the plan, I will still lead the way ahead." After Yu Chengchan finished speaking, he led the team and set off.

After walking for a night, the team came to a hill after dawn, and Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers to light more than ten fires. Cold, tired, and hungry warriors gathered around the fire to roast food, nap, and sleep. In the afternoon, the soldiers who had left behind to reconnoiter came back to report that the devil's brigade had indeed followed and chased after them, and that they were thirty or forty miles away. Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers to get up to eat some food, continued to make the fire prosperous, and then led the team to set off again. Not far away, the sound of enemy planes was heard.

After walking for another night, as soon as the day dawned, the team stopped and continued to light hot meals and keep warm. After eating, Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers to extinguish the fire and rest in hiding. At noon, the sound of enemy planes was heard again.

"The enemy will not be too far from here, and in the afternoon the team will have to set off, passing by the mountain pass in front of it, and heading for Dayao Mountain. Deputy Captain Zhang led twenty men and ambushed the mountain pass lightly, waiting for the enemy's reconnaissance unit to give it a sniper shot, and then quickly retreated to pursue us. With the lesson of the last time, this time the enemy's reconnaissance troops and large forces will not be too far apart, do not fall in love with the battle, fight hard, and run fast! Yu Chenglong said.

The warriors hastily ate a meal and set out, skirting a mountain beam, and when it was almost dark, the group came to a hillside. Yu Chengchan asked the soldiers to line up and light more than a dozen fires, and while they had a hot meal, they waited for Deputy Captain Zhang and them to come back.

It had been dark for a while, and Deputy Captain Zhang and they were still missing, and Political Commissar Jin proposed to send someone to take a look, but Yu Chenglong said not to use it first, and then wait.

"Brother Zhang and most of the brothers left behind are old mountains and forests, and their survival ability is extremely strong, and the devils can't help them in this big mountain." Yu Chengchan said with confidence.

"I'm worried that they will be overconfident and will not be able to withdraw from the battle in time and will be entangled by devils. Then they won't retreat in our direction to protect us. "Commissar Kim is still in a hurry.

"Okay, let the brothers heat up the fire, and when it is warm, let's go back and have a look." After Yu Chengchan finished speaking, he stood up and went to arrange.

Sure enough, after a while, Deputy Captain Zhang and the others ran back breathlessly, and Yu Chengchan asked them to put on their coats, eat quickly, and then retreat together.

"The devil's brigade is no more than twenty miles away from here. Damn, the devil learned to be a traitor, and only sent five people to explore the way ahead, but we wiped them out, but thanks to the fast running, we didn't catch up. Seeing that the devil stopped chasing, we stopped to observe again, and it was too late to come back. Deputy Captain Zhang Daoxian said while eating.

"Maybe the enemy's vanguard has already touched it, and ordered the team to evacuate quickly." Yu Jackie Chan ordered.

The team moved in the dark, and did not stop for the next day. Although they wore more clothes and kept warm, there were still large areas of frostbite in the ranks, and the extreme fatigue of the past few days greatly reduced the speed of the march. When it was almost dark, the team came to a ravine, and Yu Jackie Chan asked the soldiers to make a hot meal, wash their feet and hands and face with snow water, dry their shoes, and replace them with new indigo.

It started to snow again, and it was a little warmer. After the soldiers had eaten, washed their feet, and changed their suits, the team set off again in the snow, and it was not until the next morning that they found a leeward place to stop and rest.

"It's not convenient to retreat here, let's camp in another place." Commissar Kim reminded.

"It's more leeward and a bit warmer. Now that the devil is far away from us, the snow will make it more difficult for the devil to search for footprints, and the speed of pursuit will definitely slow down. Let's sleep and leave, there's no danger. Yu Chengchan looked around and said.

After the team stopped, Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers to work in pairs, pick up the snow, fence up, and the two of them lay inside and covered their coats, snuggling up to each other to warm up and sleep. is a female political commissar in gold, and Yu Chengchan took the initiative to join her. Picking up the snow, covering it with branches, and then covering it with snow, the two of them got in, and spread their coats on the bottom, and blankets on the top, and pressed the coats on their feet, and covered their heads, and the two snuggled up and slept soundly. Even so, most of the people were woken up in the afternoon, and the reason why they were able to fall asleep at first was because they were too sleepy.

Yu Jackie Chan asked everyone to get up and move, find a hidden place to light a fire, eat hotly, boil some hot water, and eat and drink.

"After eating, the team has to set off, I guess this is the camp of the devil brigade tonight. I chose a good place for him to taste the bitterness. Leave me twenty warriors, and I will attack the enemy's camp tonight to further provoke the devils, or the devils will be unhooked. Don't look at us now, the devils are more difficult than us, after so many days, their supplies will not be more adequate than ours, they are far less experienced than us in climbing ice and snow, as far as our speed is concerned, if they still have the strength, they will catch up with us a long time ago, so it is necessary to attack the devil's camp now. Political Commissar Jin and Deputy Captain Zhang will lead the team first, and we will meet at Wudaogou in Dayao Mountain tomorrow morning. Yu Chenglong said.

"Now that the fighters' physical strength is gone, and their combat effectiveness is weakened, isn't it too dangerous to do so? Since the devil doesn't want to chase it, and our goal has been achieved, we can go to the new secret camp to meet the large army, and we don't have to take any more risks. Commissar Kim said.

"No, this team is too hateful. From the beginning of the defense of Shiqi Mountain, it has been biting us tightly, causing too much suffering to the Manbei Corps! There are hundreds of brothers killed by enemy planes alone, and we can't just let it go, we have to drag it down, so that the devils will never dare to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress it! Rest assured, as long as we are strong-willed, we will definitely be able to drag them down and make them pay a heavy price! Yu Chenglong said firmly.

"In that case, I'm going to stay. The purpose of the devils is to drive us out of the secret camp, force us out of the mountains, and find an opportunity to gather and annihilate. Now that we are not fooled, we will adopt the strategy of following and following, and I am afraid that the devils will take the poisonous trick of aircraft bombing again. After this battle, we got rid of the devils and went to the new secret camp to meet the headquarters and listen and observe the movements of the devils. Deputy Captain Zhang said.

"No, I'm going to fight this battle! The devils can't be decoupled, this battle is to provoke the devils and let them pursue lightly. I'm going to lead the devils into the 'Great Smoke Cannon Ditch' and freeze them to death!" Yu Chenglong's eyes spurted with anger.

Seeing that Yu Cheng Chan was so determined, Political Commissar Jin and Deputy Captain Zhang did not continue to stop him, but only instructed him to pay attention to safety. Commissar Kim also personally inspected the clothing, weapons and ammunition of the remaining fighters one by one.
