Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Eve
Time is always not moving forward with people's will, but people's hearts feel different, when you want time to pass slowly, this time feels fast, when you think faster, it feels very slow, now Liu He has these two feelings, why, because it is now the beginning of July of the Gregorian calendar in the third and seventh years, at first a few years Liu He felt that time was flying fast, and it was not possible to make more preparations for the time to slow down, but when it came to July, Liu He wanted time to be faster, and the devil came quickly. So that they can taste the big meal that Liu He has prepared for them over the years, but how can they be in a hurry these days.
After several years of hard work, under the earth mountain, the deep place is more than 150 meters above the ground, and the shallow place is 40 or 50 meters high from the ground.
The entrance of the cave is in a small ravine that is inaccessible, in order to protect this cave, Liu He also prepared a few spare sentry posts on the side, once people enter, there will be personnel stationed in the sentry post, if there are a small number of enemy troops approaching, these enemy troops will be directly destroyed, if a large number of people come, there will be people who blow up this cave, so that you can give up this cave and go out through other caves.
The inside of the cave has also been accumulated by Liu He in the past few years, and even the grain is not easy to damage, all stay in the auxiliary cave, which can be eaten by the whole village for more than five years, and there are a large number of auxiliary caves, which can be used by the whole village to hide, if this really provokes the devil, then the whole village can be transferred to the cave, naturally Liu He still does not want to use this function, the main function of this cave is to serve as a place to store items, and it can also be used as an emergency passage.
Once you get out of the cave, there is a railway, so if you get something from the railway, you can put it in the cave as soon as possible, which can shorten the distance for a long time.
Especially the exit of the cave on the side of the railway, Liu He designed it very well, and used large machinery and mechanisms, which if people who are not familiar with it come here, they will not find the entrance to the cave for a few months.
Looking at the personnel again, now there are more than 100 people under Liu He's men, most of them are converted from bandits, these are all combat personnel and logistics personnel, there are more than 50 people in the battle, everyone is a sharpshooter, they have shot more than a few thousand bullets in recent years, and even a few guns have been replaced, the marksmanship of the logistics personnel is worse, but they can also hit a fixed target with 100 shots, these also have 50 people, these people can also be converted into combatants as soon as possible after a few battles, There are also ten of the combat personnel are scouts, these are all carefully selected by Li Lu, and these ten people have all undergone Zhang Zhen's special education, each of them has a literacy of more than 2,000 words, and can even understand some simple Chinese language, this is even more due to Zhang Zhen's teaching, Zhang Zhen understands Chinese only after Liu He only learned three years later, it turns out that Zhang Zhen learned two foreign languages in college, one is Chinese and the other is English.
There are also the children in the village, their marksmanship is not even worse than that of the combatants, and a few of them have automatically become combatants when they are older, and now there are more than 60 children, half of them are boys and half girls.
Liu Xiucai also organized a security team of fifty people, which can be regarded as a regular protection team in the village, and the guns are naturally the guns that Liu He and they replaced.
There is also two years ago, Liu He himself began to participate in the ranks of weaving, Liu He also specially planted some more weaving rattan on the mountain, now as long as Liu He gave an order, the whole village of all ages can quickly weave all kinds of utensils, weaving such a craft, the whole village will be.
Liu He also added a special team of guards to the whole village, that is, the earth dog, almost every household in the village has a dog, once it is not from the village, and if it is not Liu He's long-term worker here is close to the village two miles away, the dogs in the whole village will bark, and even Liu He also gave these dogs special training, which requires these dogs to be sacrificed when necessary.
Someone once asked Liu He, "Boss, you see that our life has been very good over the years, do we need to buy some chickens, ducks, pigs or something?" "But Liu He didn't agree in the end, this is nothing in normal times, if the devil comes, you say that the devil wants to take it away, can you not let them take it away, and if you hide these chickens, ducks, pigs or something, but there will still be traces of these animals, naturally this devil knows that you are hiding, and naturally it will be bad, so I would rather go out and buy meat and eggs than raise them yourself.
As for the big animals such as horses and cattle, Liu He also put them on the mountain as early as a year ago, and there are special children grazing, and if they need to use them, they will send people to bring them down, and they don't need to let the children lead these cattle and horses to the mountain.
"Quick, everybody keep up with me." This is the last drill led by Liu He to his subordinates, the journey of five hundred miles will be completed in ten days, everyone is fully armed and marching, and even this time everyone has a camouflage, saying that it is a camouflage, but it is just a disguise made of branches and thatch on the head of Liu He that he saw in later movies, this is still Liu He specially asked the aunts and sisters in the village who know how to needlework to sew a lot of cloth strips on these people's clothes, and these cloth strips are used for fixed camouflage, However, they were not required to wear this kind of clothing in normal times, and at first they were reluctant to disguise it like this, but since someone caught a hare with their bare hands after the disguise, they liked this disguise.
Since there were no communication facilities for the march, the reconnaissance group naturally used the old method, and the reconnaissance group explored the road dozens of miles ahead, ran back and forth as fast as possible to report on the situation in front, and also used gestures to cooperate.
This march, Liu He's request is not to run into a person, not to let a villager find them, this is really difficult in the five hundred miles of the journey, but for the scouts are exceptional, they need to listen to the news, this is naturally not just in the daytime march, sometimes in order to pass the village, you need to march at night, rest during the day, come to a remote place, and even need to continue without rest, cooking also has special requirements, cooking is to eat hot meals every meal, after eating, you also need to eliminate the traces left by cooking, This adds a lot of difficulty to them, but everyone is used to it, in recent years, Liu He has often come up with some strange ideas, and everyone has to find a way to solve it, if it is not done well, Liu He will kick them out of the team, naturally no one wants Liu He to kick them out, what a shameless thing.
In the end, they still overfulfilled the task ahead of schedule, and on the evening of the seventh day, everyone came back, and Liu He found that it was okay to let everyone go out for a walk, which means that the training in the past few years was still very successful.
And just when they came back, Liu He got the news that the July Seven Incident happened as scheduled.
