The battalion commanders of each battalion enthusiastically expressed that they understood their respective tasks, and Qin Erhammer, the battalion commander of the third battalion, shouted loudly to Ning Chenlong; "Chief of Staff, you just sit in the military tent in the middle of the army, just prepare our celebration wine, and when the time comes, all kinds of good news will be presented one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After Ning Chenlong heard this, he immediately agreed; "Yes, this battle has played a great role in establishing a base area and opening up a new situation, and it should be celebrated." He turned his head to Zhao Sihai and commanded; "Deputy captain, arrange to prepare rich supper and celebration wine for the comrades."

Lin Zhifeng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked; "Chief of Staff, I don't understand one thing, why did you intercept the people and horses of the Leopard Leijian Cottage and the Imperial Army, why do you want to let them go, we are going to rescue the Tiger Roaring Peak Cottage? Why do we have to come to the rescue after the Tiger Roaring Peak cottage has a loss? ”

Ning Chenlong smiled mysteriously and replied; "Political commissar, Tiger Roaring Peak cottage has been unwilling to return to us, if we rush to the rescue this time, it cottage has no loss, the same will not return to us, at most only to say thank you to us, only after it cottage has a certain loss, it is no longer able to support the situation of the cottage, in the other village owners under the encouragement of the possibility to return to our independent column, we want to open up a new situation, create a large area of base, it is horizontal in the middle like what? Therefore, it is much better to take this opportunity to subdue it than to meet each other in the future. ”

Lin Zhifeng suddenly understood, couldn't help laughing happily, and pointed at Ning Chenlong with his finger; "The chief of staff really has good intentions."

Lu Caiting also said to everyone; "Now that the battalion commanders and commanders have understood their respective tasks, let's go back and prepare separately."

The sun is setting, the afterglow is gradually gone, the mountains and forests seem to be exceptionally quiet, the birds that have returned to the forest have returned to their nests in the woods, and the mountains and forests are gradually filled with fog and haze.

Deep in the jungle between the Eagle Sorrow Rock and the Wild Deer Valley, under the Tiger Roaring Peak in the northern part of the Great Mengmeng Mountain, a team of Imperial Alliance troops is quietly climbing up the mountain under the cover of the forest ravine.

It was already dark, and the speed of the march of the Imperial Association army began to speed up, and their spearhead soldiers had quietly killed the sporadic secret posts set up in the Eagle Sorrow Rock in the Tiger Roaring Peak Cottage, and this time the Imperial Association Army dispatched the second battalion of the security regiment, which was headed by the battalion commander. Nan Tianba's Suo Biao personally led, the third battalion suffered a lot of losses in Jiangjun Ao last time, so this time the second battalion commander Suo Biao took the initiative to ask Ying to fight, with the strength of a battalion of the Imperial Association Army to deal with the bandits of more than 100 people in the Huxiaofeng Cottage District of Mengshan Mountain, not to mention the help of the bandits of Leopard Leijian, this is like taking something in the bag, Suo Biao will certainly not let go of this opportunity to make a meritorious contribution to get ahead.

The Imperial Allied Army has quietly approached Tiger Roaring Peak, ambushing everywhere under the mountain, setting up mortars aimed at the cottage on the mountain, under the faint starlight, you can see the cottage of Tiger Roaring Peak in the distance, the torch lights of the cottage, the mobile sentry moving back and forth, Suo Biao took out his pocket watch to see, it was eight o'clock in the evening, it was the time to attack, he turned back and whispered to the guards beside him; "It's eight o'clock, ready to fire flares."

The guards quickly pulled out their flare guns, pointed their guns at the night sky, and prepared to pull the trigger and fire flares.

In fact, just when the Imperial Association Army quietly touched the Eagle Sorrow Rock and ambushed under the Tiger Roaring Peak, several Imperial Association soldiers left behind in Eagle Sorrow Rock were quietly touched, and the soldiers of the first and third battalions led by Duan Xingguo had already cut off the back road of the Imperial Coordination Army, and twenty mortars and light and heavy machine guns were aimed at them from the rear of the Imperial Cooperation Army.

Qin Sanhammer came to Duan Xingguo with a soldier of the Imperial Association Army who was as frightened as soft mud, and Duan Xingguo asked the soldier of the Imperial Association Army; "What battalion are you from the Security Corps of the Imperial Cooperative Army? Honestly, spare your life. ”

The Imperial Concord replied tremblingly; "Report to the commander, we are the second battalion of the security regiment, the battalion commander is called Suo Biao, nicknamed 'Nan Tianba', originally the regiment commander wanted to call the third battalion, because the last time he fought with the New Fourth Army in Jiangjunao, the third battalion suffered a lot of losses.

Duan Xingguo nodded and said; "Okay, it's Suo Biao's second battalion." He glanced at Qin San again; "Spare him his life."

After Qin Sanhammer escorted the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army away, Duan Xingguo said to Qin Erzhu and Niu Shuigen; "Tell the soldiers that it is Suo Biao's second battalion, and fight hard to the death!"

The special combat team led by Qi Lianhu and Nie Xiaoxi, under the leadership of the three rabbits, was familiar with the road, and soon went down to Yeludi, crossed the Mengmeng Highway, climbed over the Scorpion Ridge, bypassed the python ditch in a roundabout way, and went straight to the leopard thunder stream.

The three rabbits let them hide between the rock walls outside the cottage, at this time, the sky has been dark, the people and horses who attacked the Tiger Roaring Peak cottage and the people who went down the mountain to welcome the Japanese to send weapons and equipment are out of the village, the cottage looks a little empty, the three rabbits swaggered straight into the cottage alone, he found Liang Leopard, told the master that the special combat team of the New Fourth Army has been brought to the outside of the cottage, Liang Leopard nodded after listening, and called a few of his intimate brothers to his room, and gave them orders, and his brothers kept nodding.

Liang Bao told the three rabbits to go out and bring in the special combat team of the New Fourth Army, and he and his subordinates came to the empty dam of the cottage, and shouted that all the people gathered urgently, along with the sentry posts, and an urgent order was announced.

For a while, the people who stayed behind and the sentinels in front of and behind the village all came to the empty dam and lined up, waiting for the lord of the eight villages to announce the order.

Liang Bao glanced at the bandits lined up and suddenly said loudly; "Brothers! You all know what happened in the village, the owners of the big village and they all went down the mountain to greet the Japanese, they have already promised the Japanese to be traitors, I now tell my brothers, I Liang Bao is Chinese, I will never be a traitor lackey, be a traitor! I think that no one with a conscience wants to be a traitor, a lackey, and a traitor, so I now tell my brothers that I, Liang Bao, have defected to the New Fourth Army, and I want to fight devils with the New Fourth Army and drive the Japanese out of China! I welcome the brothers who are not willing to be traitors and lackeys and traitors, and who are willing to join the New Fourth Army with me to fight devils, and I am not willing to follow me Liang Bao, as long as you are not a traitor and a lackey and a traitor, I will not embarrass you, you stand up and go home! ”

Most of the bandits in the queue are Liang Bao's people, a few are not, Liang Bao's bandits immediately waved their fists and cheered in support of fighting devils, although a small number of bandits were unwilling to participate in the New Fourth Army, in fact, they were even more reluctant to be traitors, they originally wanted to stand up and leave, but look at Liang Bao's side of a few of his subordinates, afraid that they would be shot coldly after standing up, so they also waved their fists and cheered for support.

Liang Bao shouted with a wave of his hand; "New Fourth Army, please!"

Immediately outside the gate of the village, two rows of people from the New Fourth Army rushed in, all of them were dressed in gray military uniforms, black scarves, tight shoulders, carrying packages behind their backs, wearing steel helmets, holding submachine guns, after rushing into the cottage, they immediately went on alert, their movements were vigorous and resolute, light and agile, like a group of cheetahs.

Qi Lianhu and Nie Xiaoxi stepped forward and held Liang Bao's hand tightly, Liang Bao also held the hands of the two of them tightly, turned his head and introduced to the bandits in line; "Brothers, this is the general who specializes in fighting devils, the people of the independent column of the New Fourth Army, everyone is welcome!"

The bandits in the queue immediately came back to their senses and applauded vigorously, they didn't expect that the people of the New Fourth Army were like divine soldiers descending from heaven, and they would arrive when they said it, especially the bandits who wanted to leave before, and they were secretly glad; Fortunately, he didn't stand up for the team, even if he was not killed by the people of the Liang Zhai master, he would be killed by the people of the New Fourth Army. ’

Qi Lianhu let go of Liang Leopard's hand and spoke to the bandits in line; "Welcome everyone to join the independent column of the New Fourth Army, let's fight devils together, defend our homeland, and drive the invaders out of China! Our officers and soldiers of the New Fourth Army are the same, like brothers, from now on, we are a family! ”

The bandits had also heard that the officers and men of the New Fourth Army were unanimous, that there was no special treatment for those who were in charge, and that they would not bully those who were soldiers below, and they enthusiastically applauded again.

Liang Bao waved his big hand again, and gave an order to the bandits; "From now on, you are the New Fourth Army that fights devils, pick up your guns and beat devils hard, now I order you to hurry up and smash Xiaoyao Village and release the suffering sisters inside!"

The bandits let out a roar and rushed to the back of the cottage.

Liang Bao said to Qi Lianhu and Nie Xiaoxi; "Most of the people left behind in the cottage are my people, and a few are not, and they have also been co-opted, how about the mountain and the Tiger Roaring Peak?"

Qi Lianhu replied; "Don't worry, the captain has already led people to ambush in Scorpion Ridge, and he has also brought twenty mortars, which is enough for the devil and your village owners who want to be traitors to drink a pot."

Nie Xiaoxi said to Liang Bao; "Sympathy for each other, heroes respect each other, from the first sight of you, we have the intention of seeing each other late, and congratulations on finally being able to take this step today, and in the future, our brothers can kill devils happily together."

Liang Bao lowered his head and replied with some embarrassment; "Brother Nie, you also know that the brother is a rough man, and he only knows some righteousness in the rivers and lakes, to be honest, if they didn't want to take refuge in the devil and become a traitor, the brother wouldn't have made up his mind."

Qi Lianhu comforted him; "Brother Liang, I don't mean to blame you, today's actions can also show that you still have a clear distinction between right and wrong in your heart, righteousness is awe-inspiring, and you must not be ambiguous when you should make a decision."

At this time, the bandits escorted out a lot of women with disheveled hair, some of whom were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the bandits gathered them into the empty dam to stand in line, and some of the bandits held some clothes and distributed them to them, telling them to put them on.

The women, whose faces were gloomy and dull, watched in horror as they dressed and watched in horror as they watched the people in the empty dam for so long in captivity and horror.

Qi Lianhu, Nie Xiaoxi, and Liang Bao walked over to the women, and Qi Lianhu praised one of the bandits; "This brother, it's rare that you still have the heart and thoughtfulness to find some clothes for these women."

The bandit hurriedly explained; "Fourth master, we haven't touched these women, they are all for the entertainment of the village owner and the little boss, and everyone has compassion, in fact, we look at them quite pitiful." Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and puffed out his chest sharply; "We are now the fourth master's people, from now on, follow the fourth master to fight devils together, and also rescue women who are suffering like this, our Bazhai master has chosen the right path for his brothers, and the people on the fourth master's side will not bully women like this."

Qi Lianhu patted him on the shoulder and said; "Well said! Brother do a good job. ”

Nie Xiaoxi addressed the women; "Sisters, we are the New Fourth Army, the team of the common people, we are here to rescue you, don't be afraid, we will send you home immediately, everyone hurry up and get dressed."

But the women were indifferent, as if they could not understand him, and their eyes were equally terrified.

Qi Lianhu hurriedly pointed to the New Fourth Army sign on his left arm and explained loudly; "Sisters, the New Fourth Army is composed of your father, uncle, or brother and brother, it is a team to fight devils, and it is also a team to help the poor people, don't be afraid, we will send you home."

The more Qi Lianhu explained, the more frightened the women became, huddled together, like a flock of sheep encountering a tiger wolf, almost screaming.

Qi Lianhu, Nie Xiaoxi was in a hurry, and it was inconvenient to take them away by force, if they were stubborn and screamed, they really didn't know what to do? The two of you are glaring at me, I am staring at you, and I am so anxious that I stomp my feet, because there is about to be a violent bombing here, and Liang Bao has never encountered such a thing, so he is so anxious that he scratches the back of his head evenly, and gritted his teeth violently; "Someone! They were forcibly taken away. ”

"Don't be rough!" A voice came from behind them, only to see Yan Pianpian and Hua Qinglang walking towards them, Yan Pianpian explained to Liang Bao; "Lord Liangzhai, you have to understand them, they may have been imprisoned for a long time, and their minds and bodies have also been traumatized, they may not know that there is a team of the New Fourth Army in this dark cottage, let the two of us explain it to them."

Liang Bao didn't know the two of them, and was about to ask about the name, but saw Yan Pianpian reach out and take off the steel helmet and cloth military hat on his head, and a long hair like a waterfall rolled down, it turned out that she was a woman, Hua Qinglang also took off the steel helmet and military hat, and her long hair was scattered, and she was also a woman, Liang Bao was shocked.

Yan Pianpian stepped forward and explained softly to the women; "Sisters, don't be afraid, I am a woman like you, and I am also a woman who suffers, the New Fourth Army is the team of the common people, they specialize in helping to rescue the people, they also recruit female soldiers, I joined the team of the New Fourth Army, if there are any of you who are willing to fight devils and help the people, join the New Fourth Army like me, pick up guns, and no longer be bullied by bandits and bullies."

Hua Qinglang is also cheering on the side; "Yes, sisters, I have the same experience, I don't want to be bullied by Japanese devils and bandits, so I joined the New Fourth Army, if you don't want to participate, it doesn't matter, we will send you home right away to meet your parents and brothers and sisters."

Strange to say, the two of them went up to explain a few words, and those women really stopped panicking, obeyed the arrangement of the two of them, dressed up, lined up in line, and walked out of the cottage under the leadership of the bandits.

Qi Lianhu let out a long breath and pointed to the two of them and introduced Liang Bao; "These two heroines are from our special combat team, it turned out to be Brother Nie Yanzimen, a Jianghu person called 'Lanyue Swallow' Yan Pianpian, and a Jianghu person called 'Thousand Tailed Swallow' Hua Qinglang."

Liang Bao hurriedly arched his fist and saluted; "The New Fourth Army is really full of heroes, the heroes of the Quartet responded when they heard the wind, and the brothers also admired the name of Yanzimen for a long time.

Yan Pianpian and Hua Qinglang also hugged their fists and returned the salute; "The lord of Liang Zhai has won the award, our sisters dare not be ashamed, after returning to the general camp, we must pay tribute to the lord of Liang Zhai with a big bowl."

Qi Lianhu also urged beside him; "The love of the rivers and lakes will be recounted again by General Ao, Yan Meizi and Hua Meizi quickly tell the soldiers to take out the explosives and prepare to blow up the cottage."
