Before you know it, the team arrived at Jiangjunao, halfway up the mountain in Dongqiao Village, and let out a roar from the woods on the rock wall; "Password?"

Lu Xiaohu hurriedly raised his hands and replied; "It's me, Lu Xiaohu!"

Two warriors with spears sprang out of the woods, shouting in surprise; "It's Brother Tiger, the deputy captain, they're back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The two of them distinguished Lu Xiaohu's voice, and jumped out to greet everyone.

Lin Zhifeng, Lu Caiting and everyone were very happy, the vigilance and setting of the sentinels showed that the independent column had matured, and everyone had deep respect for the instructor Duan Xingguo.

In the middle of the night, Dongqiao Village was boiling, and the captain Zhao Sihai and all the members of the independent column and the villagers were dumbfounded with surprise, seeing the heroes who returned triumphantly with a full load of trophies, brand-new shiny light and heavy weapons and ammunition, plus four mortars, everyone was so excited that they burst into tears.

Most of the members of the independent column have already lived in the Jiuqu Cave, the cave is deep and wide, the barracks of each team are built in an orderly manner, and the mobile guards are mainly served by Pang Siboa's people, who are familiar with the grass and trees inside and outside the cave.

Zhao Sihai was so excited that he yelled at Niu Shuigen, the commander of the first battalion; "Look at what you see, go and prepare wine and supper, treat the deputy captain, we want to drink too!"

Niu Shuigen smiled and agreed, and immediately pulled a few people to the room to prepare wine and food.

All light and heavy weapons and ammunition are registered and sent to the warehouse, which is heavily guarded outside.

In a short time, Niu Shuigen's people and the people in the room had already set up more than 30 tables of wine and food, and the returning special combat team members and the new Zhu family members were all invited to the table.

After everyone sat down, Lin Zhifeng first introduced the Zhu family to everyone, and then introduced Zhao Sihai, Duan Xingguo, Niu Shuigen and others to the Zhu family.

Lin Zhifeng held the bowl and waved his big hand; "Slow! Before drinking, I announced that the people of Horseshoe Bay and Womatan are welcome to join our anti-Japanese independent column, and the people of Horseshoe Bay will stay here and be incorporated into the fifth battalion of the independent column, with Comrade Zhu Meng as the battalion commander and Comrade Zhu Ke as the deputy battalion commander, and the people of Womatan will set up an independent column water battalion, with Comrade Zhu Ran as the battalion commander and Comrade Zhu Pengsheng as the deputy battalion commander, they will return to Womatan and start a water war with the Japanese army on the Yuma River, intercepting the Japanese army's waterway traffic, come, comrades, cheers, cheers for us to open up a new situation of resistance against Japan! ”

Everyone held a bowl of booze, the wine syrup splashed everywhere, and then a warm applause broke out, Lin Zhifeng waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then, Zhao Sihai and the others and the new Zhu family drank the wine for the first time one by one.

This wine was drunk until the fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky, and at dawn, Zhu Pengsheng, Zhu Ran, Chi Lingchong and others got up to say goodbye, and everyone was reluctant to say goodbye.

After the people in Womatan left, Lin Zhifeng told Zhao Sihai in detail about the before and after of this trip, and everyone was amazed after hearing it, and Zhao Sihai and others persuaded Lin Zhifeng and them to rest early.

The returning special combat personnel have been in a high degree of nervous and excited consciousness for the past few days, and when they returned to their homes in the mountains, their nervous and excited hearts relaxed, and only then did they feel tired, and everyone hurried back to their respective barracks and fell asleep.

I slept until noon before I got up for lunch, and the instructors in the mountains also had rules on weekdays, and they were not allowed to drink alcohol at noon, and after everyone had a hasty meal, Lu Caiting asked for leave from the political commissar, the captain and the chief of staff, and then hurried down the mountain with Lu Xiaohu.

After eating lunch, Ning Chenlong began to inspect the accommodation conditions and environment of the barracks, and the hygiene of the logistics and kitchen was quite satisfactory, because the Jiuqu Cave is not only deep and spacious, the cave is dry, and the air vapor circulates, but also the Yin River is surrounded by water, especially the back cave has a small river and splashing hanging springs, and the water quality is clear, which is convenient for the comrades to wash vegetables and cook, wash and bathe.

Ning Chenlong inspected the warehouse where weapons, ammunition and grain were stored again, three steps and one post in front of the room, five steps and one sentry, and it was heavily guarded, and he couldn't help but nod reassuringly.

Ning Chenlong found Lin Zhifeng again, Zhao Sihai and Duan Xingguo discussed the expansion of the special combat team and the formation of other matters such as blasting, repairing firearms, manufacturing mines, medical treatment, guards, etc., and the political commissar, captain, and instructor all fully supported him and told him to do it boldly.

Ning Chenlong asked Zhao Sihai for ten elite warriors, and found someone to call Pang Si Python and his group, he looked at Pang Si Python and solemnly announced; "On behalf of the column, I now announce that Comrade Pang Si Python will temporarily assume the post of commander of the guard battalion and be responsible for the security of the battalion." With that, he pointed to the other ten warriors and continued; "These ten people are local comrades, like you, who are familiar with the mountain environment here, and now they are assigned to your guard battalion, and you must unite and guard our camp."

Pang Sipython looked helpless, shook his head again and again; "Chief of Staff, we don't know a single word, how did we do this battalion commander? I don't know how to arrange the following work, which is a bit difficult......"

Ning Chenlong's face was slightly gloomy, and he raised his voice; "Comrade Pang Sibo, this is an order, and you can't talk about conditions." After speaking, he reached out and patted Pang Si Python's shoulder, lowered his voice and said in relief; "Don't worry, as soon as the comrades who study there come back, I will find someone to share your worries."

Ning Chenlong saw Cao Shimei at a glance in the crowd, and stared at her and said to Pang Siboa; "Entrusted by Deputy Captain Lu, Comrade Cao Shimei is now transferred to Political Commissar Lin to serve as a guard."

As soon as Pang Sibang heard that he was instructed by Deputy Brigade Lu, he immediately understood the intentions of the deputy captain, and immediately said to Cao Shimei gently; "Tenth sister, go ahead, it's much better to be by Commissar Lin's side than to stay in our group of stinky men, be brave in case of trouble, and protect Commissar Lin."

The big man Cao Jiu also understood, and apologized to his sister; "Ten sister, the deputy captain and Commissar Lin are both good people, you have not been a person with your brother over the years, and you have suffered some crimes, now it's okay, we can be upright, you must be diligent and clever by Commissar Lin's side, protect Commissar Lin, and fight for your brother."

Cao Shimei also heard some truth from their words, understood the intention, her eyes flashed, and she immediately responded heartily; "Brothers, don't worry, I will treat the political commissar as a sister, and I will protect her, and I will report to her now." After speaking, as soon as he lost his head, his long braids fluttered up and slipped away.

After Cao Shimei left, Ning Chenlong took Pang Si Python and his party to look around the cave, Ning Chenlong pointed to the intersection of the mountain and said to Pang Si Python; "This road is the only road leading to the mountain, the left into Dongqiao Village, the right next to the Jiuqu Cave camp, the mountain pass is steep on both sides of the boulder, we can use the cracks and cracks of the boulders to make bunker fortifications, and set up two heavy machine guns to form a crossfire network, so that we can ensure the safety of the road up the mountain, and we are not afraid of the devil's artillery and aircraft bombing."

Pang Si Python nodded in response; "Okay, I'll ask someone to build a crack in the stone in a while, which can accommodate the two of them and the heavy machine gun position, and cover the outside with vine branches to make sure that people can't detect it."

Ning Chenlong nodded with satisfaction and turned his head to Cao Jiudao; "Brother Cao, you are in charge of the heavy machine gun here, and you will hand over the lives of hundreds of people in our column camp to you at the intersection of the mountain?"

Cao Jiu smiled innocently, patted his chest and said loudly; "Chief of Staff, other brothers don't have the ability, but the ability to touch the gun and feed the bullets is still there, the devil dares to come up this mountain, and the brother 'Tututu' calls it not to leave a single one."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Ning Chenlong also laughed, looked up at the mountain peak, couldn't help frowning again, and asked worriedly; "Back Hill – How is the defense of Back Hill arranged? It is said that the back mountain can lead to the main peak, Tiger Roaring Peak, in other words, the people and horses of the Tiger Roaring Peak cottage can also directly attack the back cave of the back mountain. ”

Pang Si Python hurriedly explained; "Chief of Staff rest assured, when we used to live here, for fear of what happened, we hung a lot of soft net bells in the back mountain forest, as long as people or beasts touched it, it would make a series of sounds, in addition, Brother Wang and Qin Dapa from the city recently used grenades and broken stones on this mountain to make a batch of mines, with the consent of Captain Zhao, we buried it on the road that must pass through the back mountain, and also arranged a secret whistle, if there is any wind and grass, their people have not yet approached the back cave, we will get the news, and be ready for battle, At the same time, the mobilized men and horses also outflanked them from the back mountain to cut off their retreat, and attacked them back and forth with the people in the back cave. ”

After Ning Chenlong heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and praised; "Fourth Brother Pang is familiar with the terrain of the mountains, and he is thorough and meticulous, so we can rest assured when we fall asleep." After speaking, he looked at the cave again, and said with infinite emotion; "In fact, this is really a natural cave of Tibetan soldiers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a way to retreat from the cave behind the mountain, rare, rare!"

Seeing him say this, Pang Si Python also said happily; "Is this the land of soldiers, I heard that I will call General Ao, tell you, Chief of Staff, there is also such a natural cave on the lower half of the Tiantian Ladder Slope under this mountain, the area is larger than here, it can accommodate a lot of vehicles and war horses, and it can also be entered by carriages, the bad place is that it is too close to the ground road, and it is easy to be attacked by devils."

Unexpectedly, Ning Chenlong's eyes widened when he heard this, and the pupils behind the lenses lit up in shock, and he opened his mouth to ask; "Is there really such a big cave that can also enter and exit vehicles and horses?"

"That's right, it's similar to here, there is also a back cave leading to the outside, but its hole is hidden in the weeds and bushes, extremely hidden, most people don't know, I wanted to use it as a shelter camp, but it is not safe to defend, so I gave up." Pang Si Python scratched the back of his head and replied.

Ning Chenlong slapped his palms and said excitedly; "It's really good, it can be used as a reserve camp, and the captured devil army vehicle will be hidden there in the future, and also, the captured devil Oriental horse will also be quietly raised there, let's form a cavalry battalion, if there is a situation, encounter a large-scale attack by the devil, we will slip through the back cave with people, horses and carts......" He was excitedly immersed in reverie, his expression was solemn and excited.

Everyone was embarrassed to disturb him, and they all looked at him stupidly.

It took a while for Ning Chenlong to wake up from his reverie, he looked at everyone, smiled embarrassedly, and explained; "Everything is from scratch, don't look at us today we have nothing, tomorrow, tomorrow we will have the same cars and cavalry battalions, I'm afraid we will have to give an order, in the future, ambush the devil's military vehicles, try not to damage, to be used for me." He patted Pang Si Python on the shoulder and said; "Fourth brother, take us to have a look!"

Pang Si Python took Ning Chenlong, and the group was full of interest, and hurriedly rushed to the foot of Tiantipo Mountain, groped for a while in the artemisia vines and bushes that were high in Qi, and finally pulled out the grass and vines at the mountain wall, and a huge hole appeared on the mountain wall.

Everyone cautiously walked into the cave, the cave has another world, the space is particularly high, the stalactite stone with a cone hanging, very spacious and huge, the ground is actually flat and neat, the breeze is sassy, it is very dry, there is no trace of moisture, it means that there is a back hole in this cave to the outside, so it is very dry.

Everyone was amazed, and Ning Chenlong danced with his hands and feet, praising again and again; "Wow, it's really a natural hiding cave, I'm worried that the devil's cars, motorcycles and Oriental war horses will be seized in the future and there is nowhere to store them, and it's a pity that they are destroyed, isn't this the best place to exist."

Everyone continued to inspect along the depth of the cave, and there was a back hole in the cave that was connected, and the light was still faintly discerning, Ning Chenlong asked Pang Si Python as he walked; "Fourth Brother Pang, there is a highway outside this cave, and cars can drive directly into the cave?"

Pang Si Python hurriedly replied; "Chief of Staff, the road from outside this cave to the road below is lazily downhill, we just need to cut down the trees and open up a road, and cars and horses can go directly to the cave."

Everyone walked out of the cave and looked at the surrounding terrain and mountains, but saw that the sky was vast, and the endless forest and sea shrouds stretched along the mountain wall, but from the undulating conditions of the swaying branches, the terrain was flat and sloping.

Ning Chenlong looked left and right for a while, pointing to the forest road around him; "If something happens in the cave, the vehicles and horses can be evacuated from the back hole, although the terrain is sloping and sloping, it is still flat, and the vehicles and horses can be scattered and hidden in this jungle."

After everyone looked at it for a while, they returned to the front cave from the original road of the back cave, from here they could watch the winding road to the foot of the road, Ning Chenlong watched silently, and his eyes behind the lenses flashed brightly.

Pang Si Python reminded again; "The bad thing about this hole is that once it is exposed, the devils can rush in, and there is no danger to defend......"

Ning Chenlong nodded slowly and didn't speak, everyone knew that he was known as 'Four-Eyed Zhuge 'and would definitely be able to come up with a good idea to beat the devil.

After returning to Jiangjunao, Ning Chenlong went to find Qin Sanhammer, the commander of the third battalion, he carried a small jar of wine, and called Qin Sanhammer to a quiet place on the edge of the cliff, the two sat down on the cliff and rocks, Kuanchenlong handed the wine jar to Qin Sanhammer and said; "Third brother, take a bite, are you used to coming to this mountain?"

Qin Sanhammer stretched out his hand to take the wine jar, then crushed the sealing mud of the wine jar with all his might, raised his neck and took a big sip, wiped the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and said with a smile; "We are Jianghu people, I don't care if Xi is used to it, it's a prison torture, the knife is on the neck, and the head is not as big as the mouth of the bowl," he handed the wine back to Ning Chenlong, and said; "It's your brother, you are a scholar to endure this hardship, it's really hard for you."

Ning Chenlong took the wine jar, also took a sip, wiped his lips with his hand, and said heroically; "What's the hard point, as long as you can beat away the little devil."

The mountain wind blows strongly on the side of the cliff, blowing the clothes of the two people 'whoosh', here you can overlook the undulating mountains of the mountain and the faintly winding highway of the mountain, there is a mist in spring, the scenery is pleasant.
