After resting peacefully for the night, he got up early the next day to light a fire and cook, and just as Jackie Chan and them were about to leave, a brother who was sent to deliver supplies to the secret operation hurriedly came to report. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Big things are not good! The Japanese devils attacked Tianyao Ridge, the brothers did not resist, Mopan Mountain and Eagle's Beak Cliff were lost, and all the brothers withdrew to Tianyao Ridge, and it is estimated that they will not be able to hold it for long. There are many people back this time, and the firepower is more fierce than last time. Commander Xiao sent someone to inform us that we should not return to Tianyao Ridge and take people directly to the secret camp to take refuge, and they would also withdraw to the secret camp. ”

"Quick! Deputy Army Commander Zhang assigned me fifty brothers, brought enough machine guns and ammunition, and I was going to Tianyao Ridge. You take your brothers to the secret camp with the grain, and keep the rest of the food hidden without anyone to guard it. Yu Jackie Chan quickly led people to take a shortcut and went straight to Tianyao Ridge.

At noon on the third day, I came to Mopan Mountain. There was still a figure, and the corpses of a dozen brothers were lying on the ground. The position was blown up by artillery fire, the entire Mopan Mountain was in shambles, and there was no sound from the eagle's beak cliff in the distance. Yu Chenglong ordered his brothers to bury the bodies of their brothers who died in the battle on the spot.

"Move quickly, get on the horse as soon as you finish cleaning up, and go to Tianyao Ridge!" Yu Chenglong rode on a horse, looking at the direction of Tianyao Ridge, with a solemn expression.

When I came to Tianyao Ridge, I saw the same scene as Mopan Mountain, and dozens of brothers died here. Yu Jackie Chan led people to search left and right, and also asked people to bury these brothers who died in battle on the spot. A few more men were sent to look for the traces left by the commander-in-chief when they retreated.

The brothers who were sent out to reconnoiter came back and reported that they did not see the footprints left by the commander-in-chief, only the footprints of the pursuit of the devil's brigade.

"Brothers, get on their horses and follow the footprints left by the devil to search and pursue!" After Yu Chengchan finished speaking, he flew on the horse and led the team to chase after the footprints left by the devil.

It was completely dark, and I couldn't tell where the devil was going. The anxious Yu Chenglong ordered the team to stop and rest in place, send people to reconnoiter in three directions, and told them to come back before dawn to report.

At dawn, the brothers sent to scout returned, and one of them reported that there were footprints left by devils in the direction of his reconnaissance. Yu Chengchan ordered the team to get on the horse and continue to chase after the devil's footsteps.

Come to a hillside and find that there are traces of a battle. Yu Chengchan ordered the team to go up the mountain to search, and sure enough, several more brothers' bodies were found.

Chased to a mountain col and found traces of the devil's camping. Yu Chenglong asked the team to take a break here, and after tidying up the team, he followed the footprints to catch up.

After climbing over two hills, it was almost dark, and Yu Chenglong concluded that the devil was walking out of the mountain, not chasing the commander-in-chief. Yu Jackie Chan ordered the team to return the same way, set up camp at the place where the devil lit the fire, and rested for the night.

The next morning, Yu Chenglong gathered his brothers together and said: "Yesterday we were about to catch up with the devils, and it can be seen from the feces they left." But there are a lot of devils, and if we continue to attack, it will be difficult for us to get out. Judging from the direction of the devil's travel, the devil was not pursuing, but retreating out of the mountain. Let's start today, spread out the formation, search and advance in the direction of Commander Xiao's secret camp, try to find the secret mark they left when they retreated, and then think about finding the secret camp, the team will set off now, in groups of three, don't be too far apart, and keep in touch. ”

As ordered, the team dispersed and searched and advanced. Yu Chengchan took a few people to follow behind and coordinate and communicate at any time.

In the afternoon, a group of brothers came to report that they had found a secret sign leading to the secret camp. Yu Chenglong went over to observe carefully, determined the direction, reassembled the team, and groped in the direction of Captain Xiao's secret camp.

"The three people you found the secret mark continue to search and guide the way, and the large team leads the horse to follow, taking care not to leave footprints. Ten people were left behind in the back of the line. Yu Jackie Chan ordered.

Another day passed, at noon, Yu Chengchan led people to find a secret camp of Commander Xiao. But only six brothers escaped from the camp, and three of them were wounded.

"What about the commander-in-chief, the captain of the navy, and the commander of the army?" Yu Chenglong asked eagerly.

"We don't know. The commander-in-chief ordered us to disperse and retreat, and we don't know in which direction they retreated, they retreated. One brother replied.

"Go, lead our men to the secret camps to inquire about them, and see if there is any news of the commander-in-chief." Yu Chenglong asked the three brothers who were not injured to bring people to inquire. After they left, Yu Chenglong asked the three injured brothers: "How are your injuries?" How many people have been withdrawn from your army? ”

"Our injuries are not serious, how can the seriously injured brothers be withdrawn, they are all killed in battle, and the Japanese devils will kill those who have a bad breath. More than 30 brothers were evacuated to the secret camp by our troops, and most of the rest were killed in battle. Miserable! A wounded brother replied.

Yu Chenglong walked out of the secret camp and checked the mountain terrain and the settings of the secret camp. When he returned, the brothers who were sent out to inquire about the news of the commander-in-chief came back one after another, and also brought two battalion commanders under Commander Xiao, who knew both Yu Chengchan, one was surnamed Yu, and the other was surnamed Pang.

"Do you know the whereabouts of the commander-in-chief?" Yu Jackie Chan asked.

"Report to the army commander, I don't know yet. The commander-in-chief, the captain of the navy, and the commander of the army Xiao withdrew together, and there were more than 20 brothers to protect them, and I don't know where they were withdrawn. To be sure, they did not retreat in the direction of our secret camp. Commander Xiao told us to retreat to the secret camp and hide, and she would send someone to contact us. Yu reported to the battalion commander.

"Do you know the Admiral's secret camp?" Yu Jackie Chan asked.

"There's a brother who has just returned from that connection, and it's been more than a day's walk from here. It's this brother, his name is Xu Mancang. Battalion Commander Yu said and pulled Xu Mancang over.

"Report to the Commander Yu that I have just returned from the Admiral's secret camp, and I was sent to show them the way. They also don't have any news of the commander-in-chief, the naval captain, or the commander Xiao. There were less than thirty of them left, two of them were battalion commanders, and one was wounded, and the report was complete! Xu Mancang stood up and saluted.

Yu Chenglong pondered for a while, raised his head and said: "Before Commander Xiao came back, this camp was in charge because the battalion commander was in charge, and Battalion Commander Pang assisted. Let the brothers be scattered and hidden, and they cannot get together. A group of three or five people cannot go out of the secret camp in normal times, and they must hide here all winter and are not allowed to go out of the mountain, otherwise military law will be enforced. Convey to the Commander's secret camp brothers, do the same. I will inquire about the news of the commander-in-chief, the admiral, and the commander Xiao, and you will stay in the secret camp and wait for orders. In a few days I will send you some food, and you are not allowed to go out of the secret camp without permission to look for food. Did you hear it all? ”

"Hear clearly, resolutely carry out the order!" Those present replied in unison.

"Although our Manchurian Liberation Army has suffered a heavy blow from this, the commander-in-chief is still there, the naval commander, Commander Xiao and I are still there, and our foundation is still there. I went down the mountain this time and robbed the little devil of a large amount of food, enough for us to eat for a few years. We must tell our brothers to have firm beliefs that little Japan will be driven away by us sooner or later, and we must be full of confidence, continue to train our troops, and prepare to fight with the little devils when the spring flowers bloom next year, so as to avenge the brothers of the Liberation Army who died in battle, and avenge our fathers and fellow villagers. I'll leave for the time being, brothers, take care, goodbye! After Yu Chenglong finished speaking, he shook hands with the brothers in the secret camp one by one and said goodbye, and led the brothers out of Commander Xiao's secret camp.

Yu Chenglong led the brothers to not look for the commander-in-chief again, but returned directly to their own secret camp.

After returning to the secret camp, he sent someone to find Mother Hua, told her what happened in the mountains, and asked her to try to inquire about the whereabouts of the commander-in-chief and others, and notify all the secret contact points and undercover agents to lurk, reduce their activities, and wait for instructions.

The brothers who sent the mountain to inquire about the news came back one after another, but they did not inquire about the accurate news of the commander-in-chief. It's just that the Japanese newspapers said that the Manchurian Liberation Army was all wiped out at Tianyaoling, and only a few bandit leaders fled for their lives. Although Yu Chenglong was very anxious, the commander-in-chief seemed to be out of danger, which made him feel a little relieved. He judged that the three of them might be together, hiding in a secret place. Although this place is relatively safe, it is not convenient to move, or else there is no faith. This place must not be in the mountains, probably in the city. Could it be that they are seriously injured? Yu Jackie Chan still can't let go of his heart.

After staying in the secret camp for a few days, the secret sentry sent out came back to report that the direction of Erdaoweizi was very safe, and there was no movement.

Yu Chenglong thought that the devil might think that his team was also in Tianyao Ridge and was wiped out together. But after thinking about it, it was unlikely, he went to Bali City to grab grain, and there was such a big movement, how could the devil not know, why didn't he see the movement of the devil?

After thinking about it again and again, Yu Chenglong ordered Deputy Commander Zhang to go out of the secret camp and take his brothers to transport back all the grain hidden in Erdaoweizi and hoard it in the mountains. It took more than 100 people a month to transport all the food into the secret camp. Yu Chenglong sent people to send food to the other two secret camps, and asked the brothers sent to inquire about the news by the way, if they didn't know the news of the commander-in-chief, he told them that the commander-in-chief had an order, after the heavy snow closed the mountain, the secret camps were not allowed to go out of the mountain, nor were they allowed to contact each other, and they were hidden and waited.

A few days later, a few brothers who had been sent to deliver food came back and reported that neither of the two camps knew anything about the commander-in-chief and the other three, so we told the brothers of the two camps what Commander Yu had said, and they promised to carry out the order.

After the heavy snow closed the mountain, it was the month of Layue, and the brothers who were waiting for the news in Toudaoliang received the news from the commander-in-chief and hurriedly entered the mountain to report. Seeing Yu Chenglong, the brother who inquired about the news said: "The commander-in-chief, the naval captain, and the commander Xiao have all successfully escaped the pursuit of the devils, and at present, the three of them are leading the brothers to hide in a secret place, which is very safe, please don't worry about Commander Yu." The commander-in-chief also said that he knew all about Commander Yu's situation, and asked Commander Yu to manage the brothers in the mountains instead of him, and wait for the time being, and he would notify us at any time if there was any situation. Tell us to stay in the mountains with peace of mind, don't look for them, and don't worry about their safety. ”

After listening to the report, Yu Chenglong asked the brother to continue to go out of the mountain to wait for the news of the commander-in-chief. And told him not to try to contact the commander-in-chief and wait for the commander-in-chief to contact him, it seems that the commander-in-chief has his own difficulties. Tell him to choose the path when he goes out of the mountain, don't leave traces, and don't go into the mountain casually without important information. The team in the mountains began to hide and no longer made any moves.

It's almost the New Year, and Yu Chengchan asked his brothers to kill a few emaciated horses. He sent four more brothers to two other camps and brought them something to eat. Tell the four brothers that they don't have to come back for the time being, and let them spend the New Year there with the brothers in the other two secret camps, and come back after the New Year.

"When you send these things, you say that they are the care sent by the commander-in-chief, the naval captain, and the commander Xiao. When you get there, you should all talk to them, and don't let the brothers get too depressed. Tell them that the commander-in-chief, the naval commander, and the army commander Xiao will return to the mountain in the first month, so that they will not waste their military training, and welcome the commander-in-chief and them back in good spirits. This is a great responsibility, and we must complete the task well. The four of them took the order and hurried away.

Yu Chenglong led his brothers to spend a fairly prosperous year in the mountains, although it was not lively, but it was reasonable. The brothers in the secret camp got together, in addition to eating and playing, they were also at ease. In addition to the fact that according to the commander's request, he was not allowed to join in the camp casually, but the brothers who lived in his secret camp also had a good time.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Commander Yu ordered each battalion to stop recreation, start their own training, and send people to conduct regular inspections to ensure the effectiveness of the exercises.

More than 100 brothers scattered and lived in five places, the farthest being more than a dozen miles apart, and the closest being four or five miles. Yu Chenglong and Deputy Commander Zhang had to inspect every day to inspect and guide the brothers' military training.

"It's getting warmer, and they're probably coming back soon. This time, Tianyaoling suffered a heavy blow, and the brothers couldn't keep up their spirits for a whole winter, and now in addition to strengthening military training, they must also find ways to improve their morale and give them a good comfort to the commander-in-chief. Walking on the road, Yu Chenglong instructed Deputy Commander Zhang.

"Now there are 16 or 70 brothers in the mountains, and there are too few people. If it doesn't go on like this, it will be difficult to improve the morale of the brothers. It would be good to withdraw from Tianyao Ridge earlier, more than 200 brothers were killed, which is worrying! Deputy Commander Zhang didn't seem to be able to lift his spirits.

"There are fewer people, but our army is still very complete. This is the old Ben, when the commander-in-chief and the others come back, we will discuss together how to recruit brothers and expand the army. Spring is coming soon, our good days are coming, don't be discouraged, within March, the Manchurian Liberation Army will definitely be able to develop! We had time to discuss and work out a plan together, and we would report back to the Commander-in-Chief when they returned. I suspect that the commander-in-chief is also thinking about this, maybe they are already confident and are secretly implementing it, or they would have come back a long time ago. We all know the character of the commander-in-chief, and with his strategy, our Manchurian Liberation Army will definitely be able to develop and grow again! Yu Chenglong patted Zhang Daoxian on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Zhang Daoxian nodded firmly, expressing approval. So the two chatted about how to expand the number of soldiers.

At this time, the sun is already a little warm, walking in the empty mountains, wading under the snow under your feet, I no longer feel so cold, and my mood is much more relaxed.

The first month was about to go out, and there was a letter from outside the mountain, saying that Commander Xiao was going back to the mountain and asked someone to be sent to pick it up. Yu Chenglong was overjoyed when he heard the news and decided to go down the mountain to greet Commander Xiao in person. He handed over the affairs of the mountain to Deputy Commander Zhang, instructed some things, and went out of the mountain alone to pick up Commander Xiao.
