Shishitun is a small village in the southwest of Tianzhen, and there are about 100 households in the whole village. When Hu Fei arrived outside the village, smoke curled in the village, the occasional farmer walked leisurely between the houses, and a few pigtailed children were chasing and playing in the open space at the entrance of the village. It's a paradise.

Seeing so many cavalry from outside the village, there was immediately a commotion in the leisurely village. The child, who was still playing just now, ran home with a cigarette. By the time the cavalry got off their horses to rest, the village had already welcomed out a few squires in robes, who seemed to be the head of the village and the chief of the security guard.

An old villager god wearing a blue robe and a black horse coat, a six-fold scarf on his head, and a white beard came to Hu Fei surrounded by a group of relatively young squires. The squires, led by the old man, strongly demanded that the national army commander come to the village to receive hospitality.

If these people don't come, Hu Fei might go into the village for a stroll. Now that people are wearing formal dresses, Hu Fei is a little embarrassed.

"Thank you for your kindness. However, our army has come here to serve the orders of the upper peak, and it is not easy to disturb it because of important military affairs. After saying a few words in Chinese, Hu Fei asked the squires to help evacuate the villagers.

If he builds a defensive position in Lionton, it would be better to have no villagers in the village, so that the cavalry brigade will have no worries. In other words, if you can, you can fight, and if you can't beat him, you can run.

When they heard that they were going to evacuate, and then they heard that there was going to be a war here, several squires were dumbfounded. What it is like to fight, they have heard of it even if they have not experienced it. Of course, it is an extremely dangerous thing to fight. But before the fight started, they had to move first, which made the squires a little unacceptable! This is the home where their ancestors have lived for generations, and who wants to leave lightly?

"Sir, our family has lived in Shishitun for eight lifetimes. Even if you don't care about the property, the ancestors' tombs are still outside the village. Do you want us to abandon our ancestors and flee from our homeland? ”

"Sir, didn't you bring the army to protect the territory and the people? Why didn't we fire a single shot or fight, and we people were asked to abandon their homes and businesses to flee first? Is this Director Yan's order? Let's go to Taiyuan to find Director Yan to complain! ”

"We're not leaving! We just stayed at home and didn't go anywhere! ”

The squires expressed their reluctance to leave their hometown, and some even offered to go to Governor Yan to file a complaint. Ji Jinbiao's eyes widened next to him.

Hu Fei waved his hand to stop Ji Jinbiao, who was about to exert his might, "Fathers, Hu is not trying to let you abandon your family business to flee. I mean, I would like to ask you to go back and tell the fathers and villagers of Sù Shishitun that you are likely to have a war here after a while, and the enemy is a Japanese devil who is worse than a beast. For the personal safety of the villagers, I went to a relative's house to stay for a while. ”

"Of course, if you really can't give up your homeland, then please take care of it. Our army will definitely protect the safety of the villagers. "What needs to be said has been said, whether you want to go out and take refuge or not, that is the freedom of others. Besides, Shishitun is not the main battlefield, Hu Fei feels that the devil may not really come here.

Subsequently, Hu Fei proposed to buy military rations, and the squires agreed to it. The village of Shishitun is too small, even if every villager sells their surplus grain to Hu Fei, there is not much. A wealthy squire killed two big fat pigs to reward the national army, and Hu Fei insisted on giving money. He robbed the rich man and traitor, not the simple peasants like Shishitun.

Outside the village, a fire was lit and the meat was boiled in a cauldron, and the officers and soldiers had a beautiful meal of pork stew. After eating and drinking, Hu Fei ordered the troops to pull out!

"Brother Fei, the order given to us by the military department is to defend Lion Tun, where are we going to go when we leave here?" Chief of Staff Liu Dong was not surprised by Hu Fei's disobedience, he just wanted to know if Hu Fei had a purpose? If not, it is better to stay in this lion camp.

"Look over there," Hu Fei pointed forward with his hand, and not far away was the rolling mountains. "I'm not used to living on flat land, so let's go into the mountains. Go to the mountains and find a place to stay for a few days, and when we see the devil coming, it's not too late for us to go down the mountain. ”

Into the mountains? Liu Dong was a little crying and laughing. Although Hu Fei used to be the king of the mountain, but now that you wear this military uniform, you are already a national army, how can you still call yourself a bandit? Liu Dong deliberately persuaded Hu Fei to change his mentality, but he didn't expect Hu Fei's next words to let him run before and after.

"Lao Liu, that fellow is right, we are fighting to protect the territory and the people. If we always let the people be displaced and flee everywhere, then what's the point of fighting this war? You see, although Shishitun is close to the mountainous area, there is open land around Tunzi. We have neither bricks nor ash, and we have no way to build strong fortifications. ”

"There is a mountain not far from the village, let's go into the mountain. In the mountains, you can not only monitor the lion tun, but also quickly descend the mountain to rescue the village. If the devil attacks the mountain, let's use the terrain to fight a good mountain battle with the devil. ”

So that's what happened! Liu Dong's eyes lit up after hearing this, he saluted Hu Fei and turned around to arrange the preparation of the troops into the mountain. Hu Fei stopped a villager at the entrance of the village, "Fellow, let me ask you, what is that mountain called?" ”

"Wangjiashan." The honest villagers didn't dare to hide anything.

Wangjiashan? Although the name is a bit ordinary, the mountains are not high enough, and the forestry is not dense enough, but since it is a mountain, it is better than flat land! Hu Fei led the troops to leave the lion camp and go to Wangjia Mountain.

Looking down from the mountain, the Shishitun Village below can be seen clearly. Hu Fei asked Gou Tianxiao to lead his subordinates to set up observation positions on several rocks in the best locations, where they monitored the village 24 hours a day. Once the devil really comes, the mountain will be able to find out in time and make corresponding countermeasures.

After the observation position was arranged, Hu Fei ordered the troops to choose a site and set up camp, and he took Zhang Yayi, Li San, and Yuan Fang to wander around the mountain and inspect the terrain.

Just as Hu Fei thought, although Wangjiashan is not high, as long as the troops are divided to guard a few mountain passes, the devil will not want to go up the mountain lightly. The mountain is full of peaks and strange rocks, and the topography of a mountain is complex and changeable. If he fought with the devils in the mountains, Hu Fei was eighty percent sure that he would be invincible in the guerrilla warfare in the mountains.

That's all there is to it on the mountain, there is no need to dig trenches with a shovel or pick. As long as you hold a few well-located places, it is the strongest defensive fortress.

Ji Jinbiao, Gou Tianxiao, Xiong Wei, and the absolute backbone of the cavalry brigade, including Li San, all have rich experience in mountain life and combat, and finding a few good positions in the mountains is a matter of effort for them. Therefore, it didn't take too long for the side of Wangjiashan near Shishitun to be completely under the control of Hu Fei's troops.
