The Japanese army set up two secret posts on this road, and they were very well concealed, but this time they met Zhai Meng and Ani, who are good at searching for prey in the mountains all year round.

The two of them plus Cui Manzi, who couldn't resist for a round, and the two Japanese secret sentry cards were easily eliminated, which is reasonable.

During the break to replenish food, Ani ran back from the front, sat down next to me, picked up a box of canned beef, and ate it.

Our food is specially approved by the military department, canned beef, canned beans, these high-level US military aid materials, not only easy to carry but also easy to preserve, the body's physical recovery is even faster. This is incomparable to multigrain cakes.

I asked Ani and said, "Why aren't you in front with Zhai Meng and Cui Manzi?" After eating, you don't have to chase them. ”

Ani said, "Spare me, I don't want to sit with them, I'd rather walk a little longer to catch up with them." ”

I asked, "Do you dislike Zhai Meng?" ”

Ani chewed on the can and said, "No matter how much I dislike it, I can bear it." I can't stand that Cui manzi. Brother An, don't you see it, this person is simply, simply a savage, no wonder he is called a barbarian! He cut off the devil's head with a single sword...... No, I can't say any more, and I can't eat anything. ”

Cui Manzi's ferocity can make Ani cowardly, which shows that this guy's methods are not ordinary cruelty. Is there anything wrong with that? I do not know. I only know that our countrymen who died under the swords and guns of the Japanese army are more cruel than this. Since it is war, there is no way to avoid cruelty.

The nameless peak doesn't even have a name because it's too short, but it's really a mountain, and the locals are so stingy that they don't even give it a name, so they call it nameless.

When we climb to the top of the Nameless Peak, we can only look up at the halfway point of the Moyun Ridge, and we also need to go down to the Wujia Village below the Nameless Peak, and then go back to the slope behind the Nameless Peak from behind the Wujia Village before we can really set foot on the land of the Moyun Ridge.

Although this route may seem cumbersome, it is the best route to avoid Japanese scouts. We traveled along a secluded and safe mountain road, and Qian Xiaoliu actually didn't have to worry about mines, and in such a place, the Japanese army would not waste manpower and material resources to come here to bury mines.

The vanguard was replaced by Zhai Mengani and Cui Manzi, although in the end it was confirmed that this was also a troop deployment that was not needed at all.

That's how we climbed the Nameless Peak.

It was so easy for all of us that it seemed like a trip to the West Coast would be as easy as a trip to the mountains and rivers.

Wujia Village, as the name suggests, is either more people with the surname Wu, or the first person with the surname Wu to settle here, so it is named.

When our team appeared in Wujia Village, the villagers of Wujia Village almost couldn't believe that a squadron suddenly appeared in front of them, and they looked at us from afar with trepidation, as if they were afraid of the Japanese army.

"Don't be afraid, fellows! We are the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force, the first squadron! It's our own compatriots! Tan Weimin brandished a carbine, but also brandished his non-existent sense of trust.

I took a step forward, stepped out of the queue, and shouted, "Who is the head of this village?" Stand up. ”

No one paid any attention to me, and all eyes were on guard. It's as if whoever dares to admit that he is the village chief will be chopped up by us if he stands up.

I asked again, "Who is the village chief?" There is no village chief, what about the patriarch? Even if you are frightened by the Japanese, you will not be able to take us as Japanese! ”

Finally, a timid voice answered me, saying, "Report to the chief, the village chief went to Moyunling to repair fortifications, and he hasn't come back for a year." ”

I looked over and it was a man with a missing leg, and I couldn't tell if he was old or middle-aged. You say he's middle-aged, he's got gray hair, and he has more wrinkles on his face than an eighty-year-old. You say he's an old man, and his voice doesn't sound like an old man should be.

I beckoned him out and said, "Tell me what's going on?" ”

The one-legged man jumps on one leg and looks more agile than many of our two-legged people, and if you suspect that he is about to fall, he stands even straighter than you.

The one-legged man said, "Sir, you are too late, you have to requisition the strong men, there are no more strong men available in our martial arts village." ”

I patiently explained and said, "We are not here to requisition strong men, we are here to fight Japanese devils!" We need a guide who is familiar with the terrain. ”

A five- or six-year-old boy suddenly rushed out and shouted a word at us, none of us understood what the child was shouting, but it was certainly not any dialect in our country.

Judging by my years of experience fighting the Japanese army, the child shouted a phrase in Japanese, although I didn't understand what he was trying to say.

A Qiu Ba scolded: "What is it called! Is your whole village a traitor! ”

The one-legged man smiled bitterly: "Boss, whether we are traitors or not depends entirely on you, you have fought in three and five years, and we are all still Chinese." You have been hiding on the east coast for ten or eight years, and you have also seen that when we old guys are all dead, in a few decades, will there still be Chinese who can speak Chinese on the west coast? ”

I looked at these old and small villagers, and I understood what he meant, that we would continue to hold on like this, without the coercion of the devils, and with the gradual penetration of culture, they would be able to change the next generation in the West Bank. At that time, you will say that they are willing to be slaves of the country and recognize thieves as their fathers, but it will be too late.

The Japanese army vigorously promoted Japanese language education on the West Bank, just as they did in the Northeast. If we do nothing for 10 years, 20 years, Chinese New Year's Eve, or even longer, even if we finally return to the four eastern provinces one day, we may be greeted with guns by the younger generation who already regard themselves as Japanese!

How did the so-called Roman Empire, the British Empire, come about? That's nothing more than that.

I looked around at the hesitant people in front of me and said, "Fellow villagers, don't be so pessimistic. Aren't we here? Let me ask again, are there any compatriots who are familiar with the terrain of this place who would like to be our guides? We're going to touch the devil's lair. ”

The one-legged man said, "Sir, the village is now full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, and even if they are familiar with the terrain, they can't be your guides. ”

Zhang Da walked over and said, "Company Commander An, forget it, since we have come here, let's go over by ourselves!" Let's go! ”

I have no choice but to force them to show us the way, in that case, what is the difference between us and the Japanese devils.

Our team bypassed the numb group of villagers and headed towards the back hill. The one-legged man who had been watching us suddenly shouted, "Sir. Wait a minute! ”

I looked back at him.

The one-legged man jumped up to us with a stick and said, "As long as you are fighting devils, I will be your guide!" ”
