Yan Ruofei said this mission so seriously, the brothers stared at each other, waiting for their supreme commander to deploy a difficult and dangerous mission.

Chang Lianfa asked impatiently; "Boss, don't sell it, tell me what the task is, I've been a soldier for so many years, and it's the first time I've been in the combat position, and I don't know what mission I'm going to perform."

Yan Ruofei said apologetically: "Brothers, the reason why I didn't make the task clear in advance is that I am afraid that you will have too much psychological burden, several of you here have carried out tasks with me, and each task is completed with your head in your head, and this mission is the most dangerous and difficult to complete among all the tasks I have performed." ”

He paused for a moment and then said: "This mission is to snatch food from the enemy's tiger's mouth, if the task is deployed effectively, followed up quickly, and faced the enemy with wit and bravery, we will be able to solve the problem of food that our entire brothers in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression cannot eat in winter and spring, and we can also deliver food in short supply to the Kuomintang Third Division, which is also a task secretly assigned to me by the division headquarters." ”

Yan Ruofei was inconvenient to say the specific implementation plan in too much detail, he said quickly: "Seeing that the sky is about to darken, I took Li Xiaokui and two brothers to investigate outside the dense forest. ”

After he gave the order, he waved his hand, took Li Xiaokui and two soldiers, walked out of the dense forest, and suddenly stopped near the edge of the dense forest.

Yan Ruofei ordered in a low voice: "Li Xiaokui and I will search and move forward, you two will secretly follow twenty steps behind, be ready to respond, once you find the enemy, listen to my orders and shoot again, and act." ”

The two figures, under the glow of the setting sun half-hanging in the western sky, stealthily walked out of the dense forest, and leaned towards the cliff in front of them under the cover of large trees and chest-low thorny shrubs.

Yan Ruofei, who was walking in front, suddenly squatted down and said to Li Xiaokui beside him: "I didn't expect that the enemy had placed two lookout posts on the top of this cliff, and if we wanted to avoid the enemy's two lookout posts, we had to cautiously crawl in front of the cliff, just thorns piercing people, it seems that we are going to suffer a little." ”

Li Xiaokui said in a low voice: "Boss, you are hiding here, I will go over to investigate first, if I find anything suspicious, I will report to you and you will make a decision." ”

"No, I have to be in front of the cliff, only if I grasp the movements of the first-hand enemy, can I deploy the next step, Li Xiaokui, you follow me, I will first flow a way for you in front, and then you follow."

Li Xiaokui looked at Yan Ruofei, prostrate in the thorn bushes, little by little to remove the thorny thorns, sometimes the clothes were hung by thorns, Yan Ruofei gently broke off, woven into a branch cover hat and put it on his head, and slowly approached the cliff.

Yan Ruofei was afraid that the amplitude of his action would be too large, attracting the attention of the enemies on the two lookout posts, and he easily did not dare to move the thorny bushes in front of him, so he could only use his body to slowly overwhelm and crawl little by little.

Sometimes the mountain wind blows the thorny bushes and the branches on the top of the head swing, Yan Ruofei will take advantage of this rare opportunity to immediately speed up and move forward even faster.

Li Xiaokui's head was tightly pressed against Yan Ruofei's heels in front, he was afraid that once Yan Ruofei passed, the thorny branches would bounce up, and they would be overwhelmed again, which would attract the attention of the enemy.

Less than thirty steps away, after more than half an hour of cautious crawling, Yan Ruofei finally climbed to the edge of the cliff, he was covered with thorny thorns, the thorns were incomplete, some of the spikes pierced into the clothes, and when he moved slightly, he stabbed the flesh, and the pain made him frown.

Yan Ruofei saw that under the cliff, under the afterglow of the sun, a large flat field surrounded by barbed wire, about two acres or more, with many sentry posts inside and outside the barbed wire, giving people the first feeling that it was heavily guarded, but from the outside, they didn't know what kind of extremely secret military place this was.

There were no large buildings in the barbed wire, but there were two wooden watchtowers, each with two heavily armed sentinels.

Yan Ruofei also found that outside the barbed wire, a ten-person patrol team was deployed, patrolling every ten minutes, and in the middle of the fenced field, a wooden watchtower seven or eight meters high was built, on which four devils peeked in one direction, and each devil had a machine gun and a searchlight in front of him.

The troops and equipment that the little devils have invested in this place can be said to be at the pinnacle, no matter which direction it takes, it is difficult to enter the barbed wire, let alone sneak into the cave grain depot, it is even more difficult.

Yan Ruofei carefully observed little by little, and found that the enemy was not only heavily guarded around the barbed wire, but also on the dirt road entering here, when he saw the dust and mist raised, he knew that this must be the enemy's motorcycle patrol, patrolling day and night to ensure the safety of the secret grain depot.

The sky slowly darkened, and the enemy did not turn on the searchlights, but only in the two watchtowers near the door, revealing a dim yellow light, and the light was not far away, less than a certain distance, and it was impossible to find that the lights were still on here.

Yan Ruofei carefully observed for a while, and looked back at the surrounding situation by the moonlight, and found no suspicious and noteworthy places, so he whispered to Li Xiaokui: "Withdraw, slowly withdraw." ”

Back in the dense forest, Yan Ruofei told the brothers in detail what he knew, and finally emphasized: "Our first action is to find a way to blend into the enemy's barbed wire, if we find a way from the main gate or around the barbed wire, this road will not pass, the enemy's security is too strict, we will not be discovered by the enemy before we get close." ”

Chang Lianfa shook his head in the night and said, "Boss, you won't want to find a way from this place on the cliff, right?" Listening to what you mean, this cliff is about five or six zhang high from the ground of the cave below, and it is steep and there is no place to step on it, so I don't think this road can be walked. ”

Yan Ruofei was also a little worried in his heart, but he was the commander here, and he couldn't infect his fear of difficulties to the brothers around him, he said calmly: "This method said by Deputy Company Commander Chang is not necessarily impossible, today we are just a preliminary investigation, and tomorrow I will conduct a careful investigation with Deputy Company Commander Chang, and then make a plan to blend into the enemy's secret cave grain depot."

The autumn wind blows very strongly, especially in the dense forests of the high mountains and mountains, listening to the sound of the wind, 'whooshing, 'whooshing', constantly stirring the branches, swaying sharply, and the branches rubbing together to make the waves roar like the sea.

Sometimes the wind carries the fallen leaves, fluttering up, and flies into the distance with a sharp whistle, Yan Ruofei, who is hiding in the dense forest, is chilled by the cool breeze of autumn, and shuddered from time to time to cover his clothes, so it is still difficult to resist the wind in the mountains and the cold in the forest.

Yan Ruofei arranged for two soldiers to stand sentry, beckoned the rest of the brothers to his side, back to back, chest to chest, and gathered together to keep warm by his own heat, just like that, it was still difficult to resist the cold of the wind.

They finally got up until the light of day turned gray, and they didn't close their eyes all night, and at this time they didn't have the energy to stand up, and they were leaning against the tree in a half-daze, really hoping that the sun would appear soon, and warm the cold limbs and cold hearts.

Yan Ruofei ordered in a low voice: "Except for the sentry, the others do three hundred push-ups, whoever finishes it first, stand beside me, I will take the lead first, come, start together." ”

The brothers didn't know what they were going to do, they were tired from a day's work, and they couldn't close their eyes at night, so they didn't have the energy to do push-ups, and they had to do 300 push-ups.

One by one, he scolded in his heart: "Bastard, what kind of bastard is this, sir, it's just that the brothers are not human, this three hundred push-ups are done, and those who are not tired lie on the ground and can't get up to become a bear, that's called weird." ”

This is an order, no one dares to disobey, they saw Yan Ruofei take the lead in demonstrating, and he did it very strictly, they had to count the numbers by themselves and do it one by one.

When they finished the push-ups, they were tired and sweaty, sat in front of the tree, wiped the sweat on their heads and scolded: "Grandma, after Lao Tzu has done these 300 push-ups, he is not tired to death, this person is tidy, and he can't live." ”

Yan Ruofei ignored it and said, "You're not cold now, are you?" I see that the spirit has also risen, and I and the deputy company commander of the permanent company went to the cliff to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and there may be action when we come back, so you are ready and ready to go at any time.
