Section III

The village chief nodded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He is a man who understands, as the head of a village, if he doesn't have some judgment and insight, how can he manage the village well? When he saw the three girls supporting each other and cautiously entering the village, he understood that the army outside the village was different from the troops he had seen before. Do you want to see that a unit that is fully capable of rushing into the village and doing whatever it wants, is it necessary to let a few female comrades-in-arms enter the village to take risks? They have only one purpose, that is, to dispel the fears and concerns of the villagers through them, such a team for the sake of the villagers and the people, can you say that he is not a good team?

There's nothing more to hesitate about, "folks! Come with me and go out of the village to welcome the People's Liberation Army into the village! The village chief stood up, waved his hand to the villagers at the door, and said loudly. Xiangmei, Yumei, and Li Xiulian were still at a loss on their faces, for some reason, the village chief who kept saying that he didn't believe them just now, why did his attitude change in a blink of an eye?

"Wow? People's Liberation Army sister, take us to see your chief! ”

Only then did the three of them come to their senses, and happily walked towards the outside of the village, surrounded by the women and children of the village.

After a detachment entered the village, they scattered and lived in the villagers' homes, and the soldiers did not commit any offense to the property and life safety of the people, and were not only polite to the villagers, but also helped to dive into the water, clean the courtyard, and do some farm work when they were free. The villagers sincerely took out their own delicious food and drink to entertain the PLA, and it didn't take long for the soldiers and civilians to get along like a family.

The relationship is harmonious, and getting things done is much smoother. Bai Jiansheng not only learned about the surrounding terrain and landform from the village chief, but also learned about the distribution and deployment of bandits in the vicinity.

The village chief said that this area is the sphere of influence of the bandit Guo Fu, and I heard that the Dragon Fourth Brigade has recently come to a big official, who seems to be called Guo Lian, who is Guo Fu's own uncle. Guo Fu's troops wore more military uniforms, so when we saw you people in military uniforms, we thought they were coming to grab food again. After our "small peach orchard" to the north, through a place called "snake neck pass", and then walk a mountain road to the place where Guo Fu's troops live, "eight lanes", there is the "lane" in our area, every time to catch the market, the people in the surrounding mountains will go there to catch the market, but it is lively.

The village chief also gave this answer to Bai Jiansheng's question about the fact that the government did not send a working group into the mountains to carry out work and establish a grass-roots organization: Originally, there were, but because the working group had few personnel and the villages in the mountains were scattered, they could not take care of it, and the main reason was that there were many bandits, and the members of the working group were not caught or killed, and the work could not be carried out normally at all. Now, you have entered the mountains to bring us mountain people the opportunity to understand the outside world and the Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army, so that we can know that there are such governments and people's troops in this world who think about the common people.

"yes!" Bai Jiansheng sighed: "We not only went into the mountains to suppress bandits, but also came to establish grassroots organizations, mobilize the masses, and propagate the masses. Only by gaining the support and support of the local people can the bandits achieve complete victory! ”

Bai Jiansheng used the radio to get in touch with the second detachment, and after the second detachment arrived in the village, they helped the village establish mass organizations such as the villagers' committee and the women's assistance association.

Bai Jiansheng and his detachment soon came to a place close to the "snake neck pass", and on the way, they met several people who were carrying burdens resting on the side of the road.

"Captain, shall we go up and ask for directions? Don't go the wrong way. Xiao Wu said.

"I said Wuzi, I'll go with you, it's more convenient for us women to ask for directions." Li Xiulian stepped forward and took the initiative to ask.

"Go, go, go! A girl, who wants to join in the fun of everything, doesn't she just ask for directions? It looks like it's going to war. Xiao Wu said that, he was about to step forward to ask for directions, but was grabbed by Bai Jiansheng.

Xiao Wu's words reminded Bai Jiansheng, Bai Jiansheng carefully observed these porters and did not find anything abnormal, despite this, years of combat experience reminded him that the more he was in such a complex environment, the more careful he must be. He whispered to Xiao Wu: "Don't go!" Remind troops to be ready for battle at all times to prevent sneak attacks. After that, he pulled Su Cheng: "You come forward and ask about the situation." ”

"Yes!" Su Cheng stepped forward and looked at a few people first. These porters, except for an older one, are all young porters, and they are dressed no different from the usual porters.

"Fellow! Great work! Where does this lead to? Su Cheng asked the old man.

The man looked at Su Cheng, then at the team not far away, and said hesitantly: "You are not locals, you want to ...... Where to go? Dry...... Do? As he spoke, he leaned on the other porters.

"Don't be afraid, fellow! We are not bad people, we are the People's Liberation Army, we are here to suppress bandits, where are you carving? What for? ”

"We are pickers, pick some goods to the eight lanes, do some small business, make a living, this official brother, this is a little meaning, take it...... Take the ......" The old porter hurriedly took out a few packs of cigarettes from the burden he had picked up and stuffed them into Su Cheng's pocket.

"Don't come to this! Our PLA is different from bandits, if you don't believe in this set, put things away, we won't hurt you, we only ask for directions. ”

"Don't grab things, you PLA are really good people! Contemptible admiration! The porter stood up, nodded his head, and the other porters accompanied him with a smile on their faces, "We are familiar with this road, and we often walk." Go further, there is a col, called 'snake neck col', winding, the road is not easy to walk, after this pass, go a little further, you will reach the alley. Today is the polder day, I won't delay, go first, go first......" After speaking, he and the other porters picked up the burden and left in a hurry.

Su Cheng reported the situation to Bai Jiansheng, Bai Jiansheng waved his hand and said, "Go!" So he led the team forward, and it didn't take long to come to what the porters called "snakeneck pass".

From a distance, the road under your feet suddenly became wider, and the shape was like a snake's head, and the place where the foot stepped on it was like a mouth was relatively thin, and the middle part was larger, like a neck. There is no road around, all strange stones, this road, nominally a road, in fact, is just a ravine in the mountain, come and go, people go more, it becomes a channel, if it encounters heavy rain, the mountain torrent rushes, here is no longer the road, it has become a river of torrents, the road with the outside world is not passable, to go outside, you have to wait for a few days, and the torrent recedes.

"Comrades! It's time to go in, lift your spirits up, and be ready to fight! Bai Jiansheng gave the order.

Enter the awkward mouth, go all the way down, three roads and eighteen bends, the road is dangerous, the bends are difficult to walk, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.
