Chapter 38 The Mountains Behind Zhang Gu Mountain

There are quite a few people in the three regiments, but there are not many who can really be called elite, and the vast majority of the thousands of people today are recruited by Hu Fei during his wanderings in the Yellow Flood Area. It is not difficult to select two hundred elites from among these people, but the difficulty lies in the generals, and he is a little difficult in terms of who to take and who to stay.

Summoned the battalion commanders and company commanders under his command together, and they quarreled from morning until dark without discussing a result, everyone wanted to go, and no one wanted to stay and watch the house. In the end, Hu Fei was anxious, since you can't discuss it, then I'll designate someone, point out who will stay, and the rest will follow!

This time, the officers in the room didn't speak, and looked at Hu Fei one by one. It seems that they are all waiting for Hu Fei's hand!

"Liu Dong!" Hu Fei first named the chief of staff, but in fact, this was predetermined. Every time Hu Fei went out to fight and needed to keep people, Liu Dong stayed to watch the old nest, which has become a habit.

"Yang Jinsheng! Xiong Wei! Tosang! Liu crooked his neck ...... "I pointed a list of names in a row, and whichever one was clicked, which one's head drooped down, but no one dared to refute it."

The people Hu Fei wants to take with him are mainly those who have lived in the mountains, and only these people may have a little climbing skills, and they are still a little sure of climbing cliffs. Of course, this is not absolute, Xiong Wei also has experience in living in the mountains, but he can't put a few absolute henchmen among the people left, right? He led the people away, and who knows what will happen to those who stay? Hu Fei was able to take precautions.

Two hundred people quickly ordered, Hu Fei gave each of them a bayonet as a portable dagger, this thing is easy to carry and lethal, and it is definitely a handy guy who kills people and sells goods. The people lit up, and Hu Fei rushed to Zhang Gushan with these two hundred elites.

The battle in front of the mountain is in full swing! The explosions were one after another, the shouts of killing were earth-shattering, and the sound of gunfire and horns did not stop for a moment. Listening to the movement, this should be Wang Yaowu leading the troops to fight the devil.

Hu Fei led his troops to walk far down the mountain, no matter how fierce the battle in front of the mountain was, it had nothing to do with them, the place he was going to was the back mountain.

The troops of the 74th Army in Houshan are not just the 200 people Zhang Lingfu said. The two hundred soldiers followed Brigade Commander Zhang up the mountain to fight the devils, and there were also a large group of alert troops and logistics troops, which added up to less than 1,000.

Zhanggu Mountain does not cover a wide area, but it is the highest peak among the continuous mountains near Wanjialing, and whoever occupies Zhanggu Mountain will occupy the initiative. After the commander of the 136th Brigade, Aoki Seiichi, led his troops to encounter the attack of the 187th Division on the way north, he immediately seized Zhanggu Mountain and deployed heavy troops on the mountain to defend the mountain.

In front of the mountain peak is Wang Yaowu leading the main force of the 51st Division in the strong attack, and the back mountain is an inaccessible cliff. Since Zhang Lingfu planned to climb the cliff to sneak attack the devils, he naturally did not want the news to leak out, so he arranged a lot of guard posts near the assembly place to strictly guard against the devils and spies spying on the news.

As soon as Hu Fei and his team approached the back mountain of Zhang Gushan, they were stopped by the 74th Army's guard troops, and if a force of 200 people could not find out, Zhang Lingfu's guard troops would be arranged in vain.

Hu Fei showed his identity and explained his intentions, and the alert troops immediately let him go. These people had already received Zhang Lingfu's notice and knew that there would be a friendly and neighboring army to assist them in the battle, and now they are here! While sending people to deliver a letter to Brigade Commander Zhang, the battalion commander of the guard unit asked a few people to lead the way to lead these friendly troops to meet the brigade commander.

In a clearing at the bottom of the mountain, Hu Fei and Zhang Lingfu met. Zhang Lingfu's arrogance is brought out in his bones, and he doesn't put on any show for his comrades-in-arms who fight side by side. Especially Hu Fei was personally invited by him to help, so he couldn't put up a fight. After the two met, they casually said a few polite words and got to the point.

"Head Hu, the main reason why I invite you to come this time is to solve the problem of going up the mountain. Once we've found the best place to climb the mountain, you'll take a few people to climb first, and I'll follow. I've got all the rope tools ready for mountaineering, can you see if they work together? ”

The ropes are all multi-strand hemp ropes with a diameter of more than two centimeters, and a three-pronged steel hook has been tied at one end. Although Hu Fei has never used this thing, the technology content of this thing is not high, and mountaineers will know how to use it if they think about it casually.

Hu Fei ordered his officers and soldiers to check them one by one, and the quality of the ropes was not bad, and no cracks were found in the middle of the process.

The next step is to choose a climbing spot. If you want to climb the cliff, you don't have to go to the bottom of the mountain and climb it, you have to choose a suitable location. At the very least, you have to choose a place below that is higher and relatively flat. It is convenient to stand people or put equipment. Another thing is to observe the mountain, you have to find a lower place on the top of the mountain to climb and try to shorten the climbing distance.

There is a road up the mountain in front of the mountain, there is a gentle slope, and no one in the local area goes to the back mountain to climb the cliff to find excitement. Therefore, for thousands of years, the back mountain has been an inaccessible place, with weeds and trees everywhere. Hu Fei led his 200 men in front, Zhang Lingfu led his mountaineering troops to follow closely behind, and the long team turned away in the miscellaneous woods behind Zhang Gushan.

Hu Fei took a pair of binoculars and walked up to take a look. Although it was not easy to see the situation at the top of the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, he was still carefully observing and comparing. Before you start climbing, you can find a place with a little less difficulty, and that is a little more chance to survive.

Finally, Hu Fei found a location that looked pretty good. From here, the top is definitely not the highest point, the most important thing is the bottom. The ground here is relatively flat. There are a lot of weeds, but there are few trees, especially no large rocks. Hu Fei is quite satisfied here. Zhang Lingfu also thinks this place is very good. Let's use this as the final site for rock climbing.

Hu Fei pulled Yuan Fang and Ji Jinbiao out of the crowd, and with himself, the first batch of rock climbing candidates were set as the two of them.

Seeing Hu Fei and the three of them wrapping ropes around his body, Zhang Lingfu was a little straight-eyed, he really didn't expect Hu Fei to be the first to climb the mountain. opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say it, Hu Fei had already wrapped the first rope around his waist.

"Captain Hu, be careful." When these words came out, even Zhang Lingfu himself felt that there was nothing new in the dryness.

"Thank you, Brigadier Zhang, for your concern. Don't worry, I'll be alive to get off Zhang Gushan! Hu Fei waved his hand at Zhang Lingfu, and began to climb up the rocks. Ji Jinbiao and Yuan Fang were on either side of him, one left and one right, and the three of them climbed up step by step.

"Leopard, Xiao Fang, you two be careful!" After Hu Fei instructed the two of them, he used his hands and feet to speed up the mountain.
