Section VII

It turned out that after Chen Lanwei talked to Bai Jiansheng on the radio, she and Li Ling led the comrades of the second detachment to Touyang Village to meet with the first detachment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoDue to the suddenness of the incident and the radio contact, the second detachment did not expect to be attacked by the bandits in a planned way, and at most a small number of bandit attacks and harassment.

You know, attacking a unit is not a simple and easy thing. First, you have to grasp the number of people in this army, second, you have to grasp the action route of this force, third, you must have an in-depth understanding of the ambush site, be familiar with the terrain and features, choose the best ambush location and location, and finally, you have to evaluate your own strength, whether you can eat it, so as not to "fight the snake and not kill it, but be bitten by the snake." And make adequate preparations in terms of time, ammunition, and supplies. Which of these items does not require time, planning, or preparation?

As an excellent reconnaissance expert, Chen Lanwei naturally understands this truth, and the same is true for Li Ling, who has rich experience in suppressing bandits. Therefore, the second detachment did not slow down, and traveled all the way, and soon came to Bailing Valley.

Bailing Valley is only twenty miles away from Touyang Village. The land here is relatively flat, surrounded by mountains in the distance, and there happen to be two not very high earth and rock mountains on either side of the road. At the entrance to the mountain pass, a small river passes by on the left side of the mountain, and the river flows in the direction of Touyang Village. On the river, a simple suspension bridge is suspended, and the sides of the suspension bridge are made of several thick hemp ropes wound together as suspension cables, and the bridge deck is made of wooden planks and bamboo, and held in place by slings.

The two mountains and the banks of the river are covered with green bamboo. The bamboos on the mountain grew thick and straight, like rows of upright sentinels. The bamboos on both sides of the river, looking from a distance, look like a huge umbrella, and like the green hair of a green girl draped over her shoulders; When you look closely, some of the bamboos lean into the river, with their slender arms, caressing the river, playing, and some of the bamboos straighten up and go straight into the air, condescending, showing her arrogance and beauty. The green girls on both sides of the strait are in contrast to each other, swaying each other, teasing and flirting, showing flattery, making people linger and enjoy it, making people temporarily forget that this is a battlefield for suppressing bandits.

The green willow-like beauty of the green valley is not only to keep people, but also to retain those larks who regard the green as their home, and they love everything here endlessly. Because there are so many larks gathered here, people have to admit that they are the owners of this place, and call this place "Bailing Valley".

The second detachment came to the suspension bridge, Chen Lanwei first had to cross the river, but was caught by Li Ling, Li Ling waved his hand back, Fang Xiong and Zheng Lei stepped forward, cautiously, tentatively walked across the suspension bridge, and waved at the other end of the suspension bridge, indicating safety, Li Ling was relieved to let the other comrades of the second detachment cross the suspension bridge.

Li Ling, Wei Yumei, and Chen Lanwei went to the suspension bridge, and only walked to a third of the position, and they couldn't go any further.

"Scared? This is also the first time we have crossed this kind of suspension bridge. Li Ling held the rope with one hand, and tried to pull Wei Yumei behind with the other.

"I'm a little scared! It's also my first time. This kind of suspension bridge is only found in the mountains, and it is rarely seen in ordinary times. Wei Yumei held the rope with one hand, and tried to grab Li Ling's hand in front of her with the other hand, but she didn't catch it at all because the suspension bridge shook so much.

The two of them tried to move their feet, but on the one hand, the bridge shook violently, and on the other hand, the center of gravity of the bridge was tilted towards the people, and the bridge deck was slanted, making it impossible to walk at all. Chen Lanwei, who was behind the jade sister, grabbed the rope with both hands and didn't let go, let alone move half a step. At this time, because several people were walking on one side, the center of gravity was all pressed on the left, the rope on the left began to lower downward, and the rope on the right was warped, and the entire bridge deck was low on the left and high on the right, and it was tilted very much.

"Squad Leader! What to do? The bridge is about to be overturned. Yumei shouted anxiously.

"How do we know what to do? We haven't seen this formation! Li Ling was also anxious, and hurriedly shouted to Chen Lanwei behind her: "Vice captain!" The situation is critical, hurry up and decide! What should I do? ā€

"Can you please tell us? We're northerners like you, how have we ever seen this thing? If we must give an order, then give Lao Tzu a tight rope and don't let go, waiting for rescue! Looking at Chen Lanwei's posture of clinging to the rope, this is called "The mud bodhisattva crosses the river, and it is difficult to protect himself." She didn't do it.

Underneath the bridge is a rolling torrent, and the river crashes against the strange rocks, making a roaring sound. If a person falls into the water, he will not be swept away by the torrent, but he will also be hit by a dark stone and his internal organs will be cracked and sink to the bottom of the water, even if he does not fall into the river, he will also be dizzy by the turbulent river when he looks into the river, and his hands and feet will be sore, and he will be drenched in cold sweat.

Looking at the few people in danger on the suspension bridge, the comrades at both ends were anxious and shouted. After a long time, the three of them were physically exhausted, and they would definitely fall into the river.

"Don't panic!" Zheng Lei shouted loudly, grabbed Fang Xiong and walked to the bridge. After all, Zheng Lei is a local, and he still has some understanding of the principle of the suspension bridge, thinking about crossing the bridge with Fang Xiong just now, although it also shook very much, but he still came over, think about it, it is because the two of them did not just go to one side to ensure balance, so that no similar danger occurred. Therefore, as long as they can restore the balance of the suspension bridge, they will be able to save the day.

Zheng Lei pulled Fang Xiong, grabbed the rope on the opposite side of Li Ling and them, and slowly moved closer to them, after walking a few steps, Zheng Lei stopped and waved to Tian Zhenlin, the staff officer of the team headquarters on the other side of the river, Tian Zhenlin immediately understood what was going on, and took the team member Yue Xigui, following the example of Zheng Lei and Fang Xiong, and leaned towards Li Ling and them from the other end.

Zheng Lei's approach is correct. If only Zheng Lei and Fang Xiong leaned up, due to the imbalance of the weight at both ends of the suspension bridge, the rope would inevitably be twisted, and the problem would not be solved.

As they got closer and closer, the bridge deck not only corrected, but also began to tilt towards Zheng Lei's side. Zheng Lei understood that she was about to adjust her position again, and hurriedly shouted: "Pay attention to adjusting your balance!" Zheng Lei and Tian Zhenlin tried to move to Li Ling's side to keep the bridge deck balanced.

"That's it! Vice Captain, Squad Leader! You're ready to come! ā€

Li Ling, Yumei, and Chen Lanwei began to move slowly and walked towards the other side of the river......

While the second team was struggling to cross the improvised suspension bridge, another crisis was coming, but the Flying Tigers were unaware of it. Two or three bandits were hiding in the bamboo grove on the riverbank, their guns pointed at the drawbridge, quietly observing the situation here.

"Sir! You see these Flying Tigers are in trouble, shall we fight? Guarantee that one shot at a time, like shooting birds, will all be shot into the river, and they will not die. One of the bandits said triumphantly shaking his rifle in his hand.

"! I don't know how to fight? Even if you don't need to fight, maybe he will fall into the river and drown, and he will still be beaten by you? The officer scolded quietly.

"Sir! So good to fight, why not fight? The soldier asked puzzledly, he himself felt that the commander was either stupid, or afraid of death, why not fight such a cheap battle? It seems that Lao Tzu is better than him as an official!

"Look over there, there are several PLA armed with submachine guns on alert, and one charge can reach us, you are stupid, don't you want to die?" The officer wanted to slap the stupid soldier on the head, but he was afraid of making a sound, so he had to twist the soldier's ear with his hand, so that the soldier grinned but did not dare to squeak.

"Sir! Then we can't just watch them cross the river and be indifferent, right? Another soldier asked.
