Gu Zhenghai said: "Let's tell the head of the regiment!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Guohua responded, and then said: "Now there is another situation. Although the little devils have withdrawn all the troops that have been swept away, there are still many puppet troops that have not been transferred back. If you don't find a way to get rid of these puppet soldiers, I guess a lot of things will happen. ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "Now we can only let the people overcome it for a few more days. When the devils attack Jiugong Mountain, I guess those puppet troops should also withdraw. If they don't withdraw, we will mobilize the militia from all villages and villages to help them loosen their shins. ”

Jiugong Mountain, the first battalion of the independent regiment is stationed.

"Battalion commander, the regiment commander is here!"

Tang Xingye, who was discussing things with instructor Zhou Wenkang and Gao Tie, heard the guard's report, stood up suddenly, and asked, "Where is the regiment commander?!" ”

The guard replied: "The regimental commander, they have already entered the mountain, and it is estimated that they will soon want us to station." ”

"Let's go! Let's go out to meet the captain! After that, Tang Xingshang walked out of the camp with Zhou Wenkang and the high-speed rail.

When the three of them walked to the side of the hill, they saw Hong Yu walking in front of the team, Tang Xingye immediately greeted him, saluted Hong Yu, and said, "Leader, I finally looked forward to you!" ”

Hong Yu smiled and said, "I don't know you kid?!" You don't want me to come, do you?! ”

"How can you?!" said that Tang Xingye looked at Tang Xingshang and Gao Ming, who were standing behind Hong Yu, smiled at the two, and said, "Leader, when you get here, you are home." Where to live, I've already prepared it for you, come with me! After that, Tang Xingye took Gao Tie and Zhou Wenkang in front and led Hong Yu and them to the station not far away.

After settling the troops, Tang Xingye walked into the temporary headquarters with Hong Yu, poured a glass of water and handed it to Hong Yu, and said, "Regiment leader, I have walked the entire Jiugong Mountain during this time. You know the terrain well. ”

Hong Yu took the teacup, took a sip of water, and asked, "Have you chosen the place for the decisive battle with the devil?!" ”

Tang Xingye replied: "It has already been chosen, and it is in the area of the copper drum of Jiugong Mountain." Saying that, Tang Xingye opened the map and said: "Tonggubao, also known as Tonggu Peak, is the main peak of Jiugong Mountain. ……”

Listening to Tang Xingye's introduction, Hong Yu carefully studied the map. After about half an hour, Hong Yu came back to his senses and said, "The place you chose is good. This place is indeed suitable for a decisive battle with devils. Saying that, Hong Yu asked, "What is the reaction of the Kuomintang troops stationed near here?!" ”

Tang Xingye replied: "Five days ago, the last regiment stationed nearby also withdrew. I also used my status as a former military commander to purchase a batch of weapons and ammunition from them. Coupled with the weapons and ammunition in the warehouse, it is enough for us to have a good fight with the devils. ”

Hong Yu continued: "Before we went up the mountain this time, we made a big fuss in Wuning County. The little devil has suffered such a big loss, and he will not give up. I estimate that they will soon send someone to Jiugong Mountain to find out the situation. ”

Tang Xingye said with a smile: "Let them come!" I promise they won't come back. ”

"You kid!" Hong Yu stretched out his hand and pointed at Tang Xingye, and said, "Don't think too simple about the little devil. They also have masters in them. You are usually steady and sophisticated. I don't want you to capsize in the ditch this time. ”

Tang Xingye said with a smile: "Leader, don't worry!" ”

"Captain!" Zhou Wenkang walked in from outside and said, "The soldiers on guard at the bottom of the mountain report that about a female soldier from a reinforced company has come to the bottom of the mountain. ”

"Female soldiers?!" Tang Xingye muttered and looked at Hong Yu. Hong Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered: "Let's go, let's go down the mountain and have a look!" With that, Hong Yu stood up and walked outside the headquarters.

Soon the three of them came to the bottom of the mountain and saw Yuan Hui and Yang Mengdie standing in front of the team. Hong Yu walked over with a smile and asked, "Why are you here?!" ”

Yuan Hui said: "The political commissar heard that you were attacking Wuning County, and he was worried that the troops in your hands were not enough, so he asked me to take a female soldier company to reinforce you." Unexpectedly, when we arrived outside Wuning County, we saw the devil cleaning up the corpse. I guessed that you must have withdrawn from the battle and come to Jiugong Mountain. So I took the female soldier company to Jiugong Mountain to join you. ”

Hong Yu nodded slightly, looked at the other female soldiers and said, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain!" ”……

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, two days had passed since Hong Yu led his troops to attack Wuning County. It was just dawn that morning. The closed gates opened, and a group of people quietly went out of the city. Near noon, these people appeared near Jiugong Mountain.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, we have entered the realm of the Nine Palaces Mountain!"

"Bastard!" Matsumoto Yazo shook his hand and slapped the second lieutenant on the side, and said, "How many times did I tell you before I left, you are not allowed to use Japanese, you can only speak Chinese?!" Are you taking my words for granted?! ”

"I'm sorry!" The second lieutenant hurriedly apologized to Matsumoto Yazo and asked, "Your Excellency Osa, what are we going to do next?!" ”

Matsumoto Yazo took out his binoculars, looked at the mountain, and said, "The area of Mt. Jiugong is very large, and there are many places suitable for hiding. We only have two days. The people who attacked the county seat of Wuning must be found within two days. As he spoke, Matsumoto Yazo took out the map, stared at it for a while, and then said, "It's still five and a half hours before dark. Before it gets dark, we have to find a place to stay. With that, Matsumoto Yazo put away the map, stepped aside, took out dry food, and ate it.

In fact, Matsumoto Yazo didn't know that when they came to the foot of Mount Jiugong, the vigilance unit of the Independent Regiment hidden in the shadows had already discovered them. Just as Matsumoto Yazo was eating, a vigilant soldier ran back to the station, came to Hong Yu, and reported: "Regiment commander, a group of suspicious people have come down the mountain. ”

"Oh?!" Hong Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the report, and he said, "The little devil came so fast!" ”

Tang Xingye said: "Regiment leader, since the devil's scouts are here, I think that while their foothold is not stable, I will deal with them first!" ”

"yes!" Gao Ming said: "If you let them go, let them find out our situation." When the army of devils comes, we will be in trouble! ”

After listening to Tang Xingye and Gao Ming's words, Hong Yu looked at Tang Xingshang and asked, "You think the same way as them?!" ”

Tang Xingshang shook his head and said, "I'm not so stupid, I'm doing them now." I'm going to wait until they're almost done with what we're looking for. But if you don't wipe them all out, at least one or two should be left so that they can go back and report the news. ”

Zhou Wenkang said thoughtfully: "Regiment leader, even if you don't fight the devil's reconnaissance force now, you can't let them come nonsense. You should set a range for them, right?! ”

Hong Yu looked at Tang Xingshang and said, "I'll leave this matter to you!" ”

"Yes!" Tang Xingshang responded and left with a smile. After Tang Xingshang left, Tang Xingye asked with some concern: "Leader, can Xingshang work?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "You two are twin brothers, what kind of person he is, you won't know." Don't look at this kid's usual big grin, in fact, he has a bad stomach in his heart. It is estimated that these devils will be tossed by him! ”

As Hong Woo expected, since Matsumoto Yazo finished lunch and led his troops into the mountains, they had encountered a lot of trouble. At first, it was attacked by wasps, then it ran into many hunters' traps, and then it went in the wrong direction. At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Matsumoto Yazo and his exhausted soldiers found a place with flat terrain and a nearby water source as a temporary camp.

"Your Excellency, the water is boiling!" Takeo Miyamoto walked up to Matsumoto with a cup filled with hot water and handed the cup in his hand to Matsumoto. Matsumoto Yazo took the cup and asked thoughtfully, "Matsumoto-kun, did you notice anything wrong?!" ”

Takeo Miyamoto said, "From the beginning of entering the mountain, I always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching us in the dark. If I'm not wrong, our whereabouts have already been discovered by the branch! ”

Matsumoto Yazo took a sip of water and said, "Yes! You feel the same way I do. The reason why they don't attack us. I think there are only two possibilities. The first possibility, and the one that is most beneficial to us, is that they have suffered heavy casualties in Wuning County, and they do not have enough ability to eat us for the time being. The second possibility is that they want to play a game of cat and mouse with us. They are cats and we are mice. Cats like to tease mice before eating them. And they're just teasing us like rats. ”

Takeo Miyamoto said, "Your Excellency, we can't just sit still! ”

"Sit still?!" Matsumoto Yazo smiled bitterly and interrupted, "Miyamoto-kun, it seems that you haven't figured out the current situation yet. Now the support is in the dark, and we are in the light. We want to dodge them and then fight back, how easy is that?! Now the only thing we can do is to wait until it gets dark and conduct a comprehensive search of the entire Jiugong Mountain. Try to figure out what the person is doing before they are ready to do anything to us. ”

The moon sets and the sun rises, and the time of the night passes quickly. After dawn, Matsumoto Yazo walked to the stream, washed up, and was just about to leave, when suddenly a spiritual light flashed through his mind: "No matter where you are, you can go without food, but you can't lack water." There are so many of them hidden in Jiugong Mountain, they will definitely find a convenient place to get water. Thinking of this, Matsumoto Yazo hurried back to the temporary camp, took out the map from his satchel, and looked at it.

After seven or eight minutes, Matsumoto Yazo called the three squad leaders to his side, pointed to the places with red circles on the map, and said, "I think it is very likely that that person is hiding in these places." Now we are divided into four lines. Miyamoto-kun, you lead a team to reconnoiter areas 1 and 2. Yamashita-kun, you lead a team of people to scout areas 3 and 4. Toyoda-kun, you lead a team to scout areas 5 and 6. I took the rest of the men to scout areas seven and eight. After completing the mission, we met at the place where we had a break at noon yesterday. ”
