Chen Zhaohong also felt the same way, stared at the peak above his head, frowned, and said: "Head Li, there are only two mountains separated from Jiaozi Mountain here, if the devils find out, there is no way out in the east, south, and west, then we will have to fight hard with the devils." Wei Qiming sprouted an impulse in his heart and said: "The woods here are dense, if the devil launches an artillery bombardment, it is easy to cause a mountain fire, I think it is better to take advantage of the devil's unstable foothold, let's kill the general, maybe there will be a way to live." ”

Just as Li Zijian was pondering, Zhang Huayu stumbled over and shouted: "Commander Li, the devil has occupied Jiaozi Mountain, what should I do?" What to do? Li Zijian saw that his face was full of panic, and in an instant, there was a sense of contempt in his heart. He did not directly answer Zhang Huayu's question, but turned his gaze to Chen Zhaohong and said, "Chief of Staff Chen, rushing is not the way, order the first battalion to go up the mountain to ambush, and the second and third battalions to serve as reserves. ”

After receiving the order, Chang Haomin, the commander of the first battalion, immediately led the soldiers to climb to the top of the mountain, and after the ambush, he held up a telescope to observe the movement on Jiaozi Mountain. An hour later, he saw a squadron of devils coming down the mountain to the south, and said in a deep voice, "Prepare for battle." However, after the devil climbed the opposite peak, he did not go down. Chang Haomin saw a devil commander wearing white gloves and carrying a war knife around the top of the mountain, and thought to himself: "What does he want to do?" When he saw the devil swinging the hammer and clanging the bell, he was confused, and suddenly heard a sound behind him, and when he turned around and saw that it was Chen Zhaohong, he handed him the telescope and said, "The devil has confused me." ”

Chen Zhaohong looked at it for a while, was very puzzled, and said: "It's strange, the devils are building defensive fortifications, who are they going to defend against?" Camp Commander, you continue to observe. He came to the bottom of the mountain and told Li Zijian and Wei Qiming about the situation. Li Zijian was also puzzled, and said: "That's fine, if we can stay up until dark, maybe it will be better for us." ”

The two peaks are less than a thousand meters apart, and the enemy and us each have a peak. One side is in ambush, keep an eye on it. One side sweated like rain and dug one bunker after another.

Before the sun set, Chang Haomin saw the devils lying in the bunker one after another, and hurriedly reported to the three regiment leaders.

Chen Zhaohong said: "The devil is doing this to prevent someone from sneaking up tonight, and facing the south, it means that the person who wants to sneak attack is from our direction." The devil doesn't know that we are here, so ......" Li Zijian and Wei Qiming said at the same time: "Panlong Peak." ”

Chen Zhaohong nodded and said: "It may be that the devil got the information, Liu Hui and Xia Yifan are going to lead people to pass by here tonight, so they set up an ambush in advance and let them get into the ......" Halfway through the words, he shook his head again and said: "No, the steep mountain in the south should be overcome."

Wei Qiming turned to face the south, looked up at the rolling mountains, and said: "The devil may think that Liu Hui is strong in martial arts, although these peaks are dangerous, but they will not be able to defeat her, and he wants to set up an ambush and catch her off guard." But Miss Liu Hui warned us before, she would definitely count that the devil was going to come to this hand, so how could she throw herself into the net? Li Zijian said: "Even if Liu Hui didn't expect the devil to come, as the devil wanted, but she has to pass through here, we can remind her." If Yoo Hye doesn't come, we'll wait and see what happens tonight. ”

At night, a gentle drizzle quietly falls, moistening the mountains and rivers, washing away the heat of the day and making the air exceptionally fresh. Chang Haomin and the soldiers of the first battalion scattered and hid under the trees, counting the raindrops, and their mood gradually turned from anxiety during the day to calm.

Chen Zhaohong came to Chang Haomin's side and asked in a low voice, "Is there any movement?" Chang Haomin said: "No, the devil is really a birdman, we still have woods to block the rain, and they have been lying straight and upright like that, not moving, letting the rain splash." ”

Chen Zhaohong listened to the rustle of raindrops on leaves, flowers and plants, as if he felt that nature was playing a moving music, and he couldn't help but close his eyes. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Fortunately, it rained, otherwise this night, the mosquitoes would have sucked our blood dry." Chang Haomin said "um" and said: "Chief of Staff Chen, we are blocked here by devils, even if we survive tonight, tomorrow will be difficult, we have to find a way to rush out!" Chen Zhaohong didn't make a sound, closed his eyes, and quietly thought about a way to get out.

Late at night, Li Zijian had been standing under a big tree under the mountain, and when he saw that the rain was falling non-stop, he thought of the wounded soldiers, sighed secretly, and walked to the temporary health center with heavy steps. In the dilapidated tents, the wounded were extremely excited when they saw the regiment commander coming to visit.

Jin Feng was temporarily transferred, she changed the gauze for a wounded, raised her eyes and said: "Commander Li, the fever of the seriously injured has subsided, but the prospects are not optimistic, there is a shortage of medical treatment at the moment, if it drags on like this, their injuries are very likely to worsen." ”

Li Zijian's heart was like a knife, looking at the pale faces, his heart couldn't be calm for a long time, and after stopping for a long time, he left the health center with a heavy heart. After walking a short distance, he saw Wei Qiming holding his arms with his hands and leaning his back against a tree, so he said: "Political Commissar Wei, the fever of the wounded has receded, but it can't be delayed for too long." I think it's better to rush out than stay here. Tomorrow, let's break through! ”

Wei Qiming was puzzled: "Why don't you rush out now?" Li Zijian said: "Tonight, the devil has taken precautions, and we rush out, undoubtedly hitting the muzzle of someone's gun." I estimated that after dawn, the devils on the opposite peak would retreat to Jiaozi Mountain to rest, and at that time, I ordered the 1st and 2nd Battalions to feint on Jiaozi Mountain, and the 3rd Battalion to escort the wounded to rush out at the opportunity. Wei Qiming wiped the rain from his face and asked, "After rushing out, where do we retreat?" ”

Li Zijian said: "There are many mountains in the east of Qinglong Town, let's withdraw and rest for ten days and half a month, and then study the foothold of the next step." Wei Qiming said: "Okay! But you have to do the work. ”

Li Zijian sighed: "It's very difficult, since I left the fighting outlet, every time I discuss things, he disagrees with me, this time, I can only make a hard decision." Wei Qiming approached him, lowered his voice and said: "I thought about it carefully, on the night of Xia Yifan's confinement, those two soldiers were stabbed in the chest, and Zhang Huayu couldn't get rid of suspicion. ”

Li Zijian pondered for a long time before he said: "I believe that the military division headquarters will not send an unscrupulous person to us. Wei Qiming said: "I want to come and go, and the murderer is lurking in the working group." Li Zijian closed his eyes, searched his intestines, and fell into a long thought. Suddenly, his mind stopped on a person, his face immediately showed a look of pain, opened his heavy eyelids, and said, "The murderer should be Liu Hui." ”
