Chapter 82: Into the Mountains to Be Vigilant Against the Enemy

[Pray for collection support!] 】

Although it has not yet entered the depths of winter, the weather in the north is already very cold, especially in the mountains, and at night, if there is no fire, people will be frozen on the ground. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sky has begun to drift with large snowflakes, the mist has begun to freeze in the stream below, and the season of the frozen earth in the mountains is approaching. Yu Jackie Chan ordered the team to rest during the day, march at night, and light a fire to warm up and rest when they can't walk. Although the team was lightly armed, due to the snow and slippery roads, the soldiers were very bulky, and they had to remove the traces of the large army when they entered the mountain, the team marched very slowly, and it took five days and four nights to catch up with the large army on the original defensive ground of Jackie Chan on the west Mopan Mountain of Tianyao Ridge.

Seeing the general political commissar Qin Gang, Yu Chenglong reported to him the situation before entering the mountain, saying that there was no sign of the devil tailgating, indicating that the devil did not know the whereabouts of the North Manchurian Corps for the time being, or although he knew, he had not yet made the decision to continue the pursuit. However, he reminded the General Political Commissar that since the devils have stepped up the encirclement and suppression of the Confrontation League this year, it is estimated that the devils will still come, and they should always be vigilant. General Political Commissar Qin Gang agreed with him and asked him to stay here for a few days, and then lead the team to retreat to their original secret camp after the large army had withdrawn to the secret camp. The large army will leave them with some food, and they will have to find out what is not enough.

Yu Chenglong said that there was no need to leave food for them, the food of the entire army was very tight, and there was still some food in his original secret camp, which might be edible, if it didn't work, he would find a way by himself. General Political Commissar Qin Gang did not insist, and after shaking hands with Yu Chenglong and saying goodbye, he continued to go to Tianyao Ridge with the team.

Yu Chenglong looked around at the position that Mopan Mountain had once defended, although the traces of the harsh battle in the past had been covered by the heavy snow and were unrecognizable, the shadow of the Tianjiao Ridge fiasco was still deeply engraved in his heart! I wonder how the Chief of the General Staff is feeling right now? Yu Chenglong felt very remorseful. He walked to the pile of rubbles where he buried his dead brothers, bowed deeply, and stared silently for half an hour.

Seeing that Deputy Commander Yu was in a bad mood, Political Commissar Jin didn't come to disturb her, she sent people to Tianyaoling to pick up the wounded soldiers of the four brigades, and at the same time asked people to clean up their residences and make a fire to cook.

After being stationed for five days, Yu Chenglong received the news that the headquarters had all been transferred. He ordered the team to pack up and then led the team to immediately move to the secret camp. It took two days and three nights to come to their secret camp.

After arriving at the secret camp, he asked Deputy Captain Zhang to take his brothers to repair the rain-washed secret camp as soon as possible, and do a good job of camouflage and internal repair. He and Political Commissar Jin went to the place where the grain was stored to check, and fortunately, although the grain was a little old, it was still edible and the storage was not bad. The grain that had not been transported at that time was enough for more than 100 of them to eat for a winter.

It took a few more days for the camp to be repaired, and the soldiers were able to live in it for the winter. After discussing with Political Commissar Jin, Yu Chenglong decided that no fire was allowed in the secret camp during the day, and he could only burn the fire in the secret camp in the dark to warm up and cook. The troops trained in secret camps in the afternoon, organized study and discussion after eating in the evening, and rested and slept in the second half of the night and in the morning. After the arrangements were made, Yu Chengchan sent Squadron Leader Fang to contact the newly built secret camp this year, and after connecting with the soldiers left behind, he would return. One is to see the situation there, and the other is to explore the road between the two secret camps in case of emergency. At the same time, two soldiers were sent to Tianyao Ridge to reconnoiter and investigate the situation of the devils, and to contact the headquarters every ten days, listen to instructions, and report at any time when encountering situations.

Time flies. Half a month later, two people who went to Tianyao Ridge to inquire about the situation came back to report, saying that the corps had obtained accurate information and that the devils were preparing to encircle and suppress Tianyao Ridge. The General Political Commissar, the Commander-in-Chief, and the Chief of the General Staff were very concerned about our situation here, and inquired about the situation of grain reserves, the construction of secret camps, the rest and recuperation of troops, and other aspects, and we all made reports one by one. The head of the corps was still very satisfied, and instructed us to continue to hide and stand by, and after the devils entered the mountain to fight the air, we would send elite soldiers out of the mountain to grab food and materials, recruit personnel, and expand the ranks. The two secret camps on the side of the headquarters were short of food, and they sent people out of the mountain but did not get them back, and the devils searched very tightly and did not let a grain of grain enter the mountain. Let's send people out, as soon as we enter the tunzi, someone will interrogate them, and the raw people will be arrested, and it is very difficult to get food, and the head of the corps plans to send people out to rob them, and the soldiers must be fed no matter what.

"You two have worked hard, go eat and rest. Tomorrow I will get up early and set off, and I will send two more people with you to observe the enemy situation in Tianyao Ridge. Once the devil went to Tianyao Ridge, after finding out the situation, the two went to the secret camp of the headquarters to report, and the two came back to report the situation to me. Be careful on the road and pay attention to removing traces. Take care, everyone is waiting for your news. Yu Chenglong and Political Commissar Jin said to the two fighters who were in charge of finding out the news.

The coldest day of this winter came relatively late, and after half a month, the coldest time in previous years had arrived, but at this time of this year, the day was still relatively warm, and it was only at night that it felt like it was deep winter. The squadron leader sent to the new camp to explore the road came back, saying that everything was normal in the new camp, that the food and supplies were well stocked, and that the brothers guarding the camp were eagerly looking forward to the deputy commander-in-chief and the brothers coming over quickly so that they could reunite with everyone.

"Is there a good way to get there? How is the new camp hidden? Yu Chengchan asked Squadron Leader Fang.

"We went and came back on two routes. On the whole, it is not very easy to walk, otherwise it can't be used for a month. When we went, we passed by the 'Great Smoke Cannon Ditch', which was wide and windy, and it was blowing smoke and snow all day long, and the people who were freezing could not stand it. In summer, the ditch does not thaw, let alone winter. It wasn't cold when we went, and it wasn't the windiest place, but no one could stand it. When I came back, I didn't dare to take that road, and I came back by detour, but it was also eerie and cold when I walked through that area. It's about to enter the depths of winter, and we can't go that way to the new camp. As for the new camp, it's really hard to find, it's very well hidden, I've been there three or four times, and some can't find it, it's a good place. Squadron Leader Fang replied.

"Let's go and rest first. The devil may be attacking Tianyao Ridge recently, so that your squadron brothers can hide themselves. Yu Chenglong took Squadron Leader Fang's hand and sent him out of the secret camp.

The days are fine, but at night, the temperature plummets, signaling the coldest time of the year. After dinner in the evening, a fire was specially added to the secret camp. The secret camp of the brigade headquarters is relatively spacious, and eleven people live in it, which is not too crowded. Yu Chenglong and Deputy Captain Zhang Daoxian led six team headquarters personnel to live in the outer room, and Political Commissar Jin and her guards and hygienists lived in the inner room. It is said that it is the inner and outer room, but in fact, it is supported by a small wooden pole on the earthen kang where it sleeps, and the open space under the kang is still open. Although the fire was added to the camp, it was still colder than usual.

"A few of you men go out for a walk first, and the political commissar and I are going to take a bath, it's cold, and it's even more inconvenient to wash in the future." The hygienist said to several men.

"Don't wash it yet, it's too cold outside today, wait for a warm day to wash it." Yu Jackie Chan's guard spoke loudly and was a naughty ghost.

"Let you go out, why so much nonsense!" Commissar Kim's guards don't look at people, they always speak straightforwardly, they like to use a commanding tone, and they often fight with Yu Jackie Chan's guards, but she often has the upper hand.

Yu Chengchan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out.

The crowd got dressed and walked out of the camp. Yu Chenglong and Deputy Captain Zhang each took three people to each secret camp in two directions to inspect the situation.

When everyone returned to the secret camp one after another, the three of them had already finished bathing and had long hair scattered, and only then did they look like women. Usually they wear their hair up, wear the same clothes as men, and wear the same dogskin hats, and it is difficult for people who are not familiar with them to distinguish between men and women. In order to solve the problem of women coming once a month, they take an herb for a long time, and most of them will be infertile for life. The wind and snow have been blowing all year round, and the skin has become red and black rough, plus the clothes are the same as men's, and they are also psychologically masculine, so they don't usually think of themselves as women.

Yu Chenglong watched the three of them combing each other's long hair, braiding, coiling, and cutting bangs in the dim light, and felt sad in his heart. The suffering brought to the Manchurian people by the Japanese devils is multifaceted, and if you don't take revenge, you will be a man in vain! Yu Jackie Chan secretly swore in his heart.

Because the three of them took a bath and combed their hair, they were delayed for a long time, and Political Commissar Jin did not organize the personnel of the brigade headquarters to study that night, and everyone lay down and slept in their clothes.

"I blew the lamp, and you men, take off your underwear and underwear, send it outside to freeze, and then bring it back tomorrow and put it on. Covered in lice, he was sent outside to freeze to death while it was cold. The hygienist ordered again.

Yu Chenglong and the others didn't speak, they all sat up and took off their underwear and underwear, put on cotton jackets and cotton pants naked, and lay down again. The guards gathered everyone's underwear and underwear and prepared to send them outside, but the hygienist said no, and the three of them were just about to go out for convenience, so they took them outside.

When I woke up the next day, it was still so cold, the mountains were shrouded in thick fog, there was no sunlight, and there was not much wind, but it was dumb and cold, which made people feel that they couldn't lift their spirits. Yu Jackie Chan ordered people to notify the secret camps and tell everyone that fire is not allowed during the day. Because as soon as fire is used, there is smoke, and the enemy can be spotted from a great distance.

In the middle of the night, the two soldiers sent to Tianyao Ridge to reconnoiter hurriedly came back to report that the devil and the Jing'an army had indeed gone to Tianyao Ridge, but they had pounced. They searched around Tianyao Ridge for two days, and last night it suddenly cooled down, and the devils couldn't stand the cold, and they all retreated as soon as it was dawn this morning. The two of them hurried back to report, and the other two went to the secret camp of the headquarters to report the news. After running for a whole day and a half night, the tired legs of both of them trembled. Yu Chenglong asked the two to hurry up to rest and eat, and he studied the current situation with Political Commissar Jin and Deputy Captain Zhang.

"I don't think the devils will necessarily all withdraw, only the large army of the devils will be withdrawn, and a part will definitely be left behind to continue to look for our secret camp and fight a decisive battle with us." Deputy Captain Zhang said first.

"I think what Captain Zhang said has a point. Since the establishment of your Manchurian Liberation Army to the establishment of our Anti-Union Manchurian Brigade, the devils have hated our team to the core, especially if you cross the river dragon, the devils will never give up if they don't catch you! They will not retreat, and they will search everywhere for our traces. They have radio stations, communication equipment, special forces, and airplanes, and if these means are used, we may be exposed if we are negligent. Commissar Kim said.

"From now on, fires are still forbidden during the day and bonfires are not allowed at night. The troops did not train during the day, and they all hid in secret camps so as not to be discovered by the devil's plane. In addition, be prepared to move to a new secret camp, and move as soon as the situation changes. Tomorrow, we will send people to follow the retreating troops of the devils for reconnaissance. I think that if the devils search for us, they will definitely expand the search area around Tianyao Ridge, and tomorrow they will have to send people to the two secret camps of the headquarters to report our intentions to the general political commissar and the commander-in-chief, so that they can also prepare for concealment and transfer. Yu Chenglong said.

"Don't think about going to the new camp just yet. We were ordered to be stationed here, and it was the decision of the headquarters. What I mean is to tell the head of the headquarters that if we are found here, we will first evacuate to the headquarters camp, and if the two headquarters camps are discovered, we will also be evacuated to us. When we're done, we'll consider going to our new camp. Commissar Kim said.

"It's still the political commissar who has a strong sense of organization, and I may be a little arbitrary. Well, tomorrow I will send someone to investigate a road between the three secret camps, and we must bypass Tianyao Ridge, this road is too dangerous! However, since the devil has already estimated that we are in the area of Tianyao Ridge, we will definitely not give up easily, and we may be discovered sooner or later. It is still recommended that the head of the headquarters strengthen his preparedness. If the search for the devils relaxes a little and gives us a chance, we will put the team together and move secretly. ”

"I know that the head of the headquarters of the new secret camp is not aware of it, which is not good. But without this new secret camp, we really don't know where to go this winter, and once discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable! Yu Chengchan said solemnly.

"I admire the foresight of the deputy commander! Without this new camp, we don't know the bottom of our hearts. The three holes of the cunning rabbit should be even more so in a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and I don't think the head of the headquarters will blame him. Well, I support your opinion! Commissar Jin smiled and nodded.

The three discussed some more details, and Political Commissar Jin and Deputy Captain Zhang Daoxian both agreed with Yu Chenglong's opinion. Deputy Captain Zhang also got up and went out to the secret camps to make detailed arrangements.

The sky still has no intention of easing, insisting on cooling down. People's mood still can't relax, vigilantly and anxiously waiting for news from the devil. However, in the past few days, it has been relatively quiet, and no new movements of the enemy have been discovered.

After a few more days, I suddenly heard the sound of the devil's plane. But it seems to have flown aimlessly twice, and found nothing. The two soldiers who had previously gone to the secret camp of the headquarters to check the road also returned and conveyed the instructions of the commander-in-chief, saying that the troops should strengthen their concealment, and if they were discovered by the devils, they would move to their secret camp, and if the secret camp of the headquarters was discovered, they would also transfer to the secret camp of the Jackie Chan brigade, so that Yu Jackie Chan could prepare.

The colder it gets, the worse the mood becomes. In addition, in order to prevent being discovered by the devils, the team reduced the amount of fire, and the brothers were all held in the secret camp, enduring the cold, anxious and worried about the movements of the devils.

In particular, the appearance of the devil plane has added to people's worries. The battle between the big and small rocks made the soldiers feel apprehensive about the devil's plane. You can't hit it, you can't hide and you can't hide, you will suffer! The warriors hated these killing machines, but they couldn't help it.

In order to appease the soldiers, Commissar Jin and Deputy Captain Zhang often shuttled between the secret camps, educating the soldiers to be vigilant against the enemy, but also to relax and be ready to move at any time. Military training activities in secret camps have been temporarily suspended, but political, military, and literacy studies have increased substantially. The tension of the soldiers eased, and the secret camp gradually entered normalcy.

At this time, the soldiers who followed the large army of devils who retreated out of the mountain hurriedly came back to report. It is said that the large army of devils has gone and returned, and the target is still Tianyao Ridge, and it seems that they know where we are hiding. This army has about three or four hundred devils, and one thousand seventeen or eight hundred Jing'an troops, and the marching speed is not very fast.

"Oops, the secret camp at the headquarters may be discovered! If we are found here, the devil will not return in the direction of Tianyao Ridge, and will go directly to our direction to get closer. Deputy Captain Zhang immediately sent people to bypass Tianyao Ridge according to the planned route to meet the large troops of the headquarters, and at the same time sent people to Tianyao Ridge to reconnoitre. I went to arrange the deployment in the direction of Tianyao Ridge, and the political commissar Jin arranged the food and accommodation problems when the large troops arrived in the secret camp, and it seemed that he could not expand more secret camps, so he could only pile up snow and tree branches to build some temporarily, and if he was insufficient, he had to squeeze it, and he could not lie down and sit in it. At the same time, prepare to retreat to the new secret camp. It is important to choose a good route first to ensure the speed of the troops when they set off. Yu Chengchan hurriedly made a deployment.

The situation is critical, and there is no time to delay! The three chief officers hurriedly arranged for implementation.
