The night was quiet.

At this time, one figure after another appeared in the poplar forest under Hades Mountain, these people were agile and moved quickly. Suddenly, there was a cuckoo chirping in front of him, and the man leading the group made a gesture to stop advancing, and everyone stopped. As if in response to this cuckoo, the man who led the team also let out a cuckoo sound.

The code was correct, and the man who led the team continued to lead the team forward, and soon converged with the three or four people in front.

The troops stopped in a leeward ditch, listening to the panting sounds of the soldiers one by one, Ma Zheng asked aloud: "Deputy Company Commander Huang, has the stomach problem of the soldiers been solved?" ”

Huang Sicheng hurriedly replied: "For the time being, it is solved, I took out all the food that I watched the family, and by the way, I asked the soldiers with accurate marksmanship to go out and shoot some wild things such as rabbits and yellow sheep, and finally gave the soldiers a dry meal!" ”

"Well, that's good! People are iron and rice are steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, and you can only fight when you are full! Ma Zheng said.

"Company commander, what's the situation here, are there fighters?" Huang Sicheng asked.

"This group of bandits is indeed very powerful, and the terrain here is really not suitable for a strong attack, there is only one path up and down, even if there is a large army, it cannot be used. Moreover, the bandits also built a large number of firepower points and placed a lot of light machine guns on the mountain road, and if we attacked it, we would not be able to take this bandit den even if we filled all the people. Ma Zheng said in a deep voice.

"So there are no fighters?" Huang Sicheng asked with a frown.

"No, in the afternoon I went around the back mountain and found that there was a cliff behind it, about seventy or eighty meters high. Perhaps the bandits felt that no one could get up from the cliff, so they didn't set up a sentry somewhere. ”

"Company commander, do you mean that we touched up from the cliff and caught them off guard?" Huang Sicheng said thoughtfully.

"Well, I have been observing this cottage for half a day, and I find that the vigilance of these bandits seems to be very bad, perhaps because of the longevity of the peace. So as long as we can touch their stockade, we will definitely be able to easily take this bandit den. Ma Zheng said in a deep voice.

"But can we go up that cliff?" Huang Sicheng said worriedly.

"The height of seventy or eighty meters is not very high, I remember that our troops still have some ropes, and when the time comes, I will go up in advance to fix the ropes, and you can just climb up along the ropes." Ma Zheng said.

"That's possible, the question is how do you get there?" Huang Sicheng asked again.

"Don't worry about this, I have my own way!"

After speaking, Ma Zheng looked at everyone, and continued: "Comrades, this battle is related to the life and death of our troops, I won't say much about the importance, let's talk about the battle plan and the tasks of each unit!" ”

"According to the plan, we adopted a combination of central flowering and decapitation operations, the so-called central flowering is that we will unexpectedly touch into their bandits' dens, and then look for opportunities to capture or kill their leader Yun Batian, and this is the reason why the thieves capture the king first."

"The specific arrangement is that I will take the first and third platoons to touch up from the back cliff, Wang Hansen, you take the second platoon to block the road down the mountain for me, and I must not let those bandits rush down the mountain. Remember, you'll act after we're fighting, understand? ”

"Understood!" Huang Sicheng and Wang Hansen said at the same time.

"It's now nine o'clock in the evening, let's wait until after midnight before we act, let the comrades find a leeward place to squint for a while, and recuperate their spirits before fighting." Ma Zheng ordered.

"Yes!"

In the middle of the night, just after that, there was silence at the foot of Hades Mountain, only a fire not far away where the bandits had set up at the mountain pass, which was a bonfire lit by the bandits guarding the gate.

At the foot of the mountain, more than 100 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were already ready to go, and seeing that the time was almost up, Ma Zheng said in a deep voice: "Check the weapons and ammunition, and go!" ”

It was already past one o'clock in the morning when we got around the back mountain, and when we reached the cliff, everyone gasped. I saw that this cliff was like a knife and axe, almost 90 degrees, and the wind and sun made the surface very smooth, plus there were no vines and plants in the northern part of the country, it was almost impossible to climb it with bare hands.

Everyone turned their eyes to Ma Zheng, wanting to see how he planned to go up.

Ma Zheng took the rope from the iron bull's hand, wrapped it around his body, and then began to climb with a dagger in his mouth.

To be honest, for a battle-hardened special forces, climbing this seventy or eighty-meter cliff with bare hands is not too challenging. The only thing is that Ma Zheng is still a little unfamiliar with this body, but perhaps because of the perennial war, this body is extremely strong, even stronger than himself in his previous life. According to Tie Niu, he insisted on practicing boxing every day before he lost his memory, but unfortunately he forgot all his boxing techniques after losing his memory.

Climbing with bare hands is both a strenuous and a technical one. It is mainly to use natural grips such as cracks, caves, and protrusions in the rock to climb steep rock walls, which requires climbers not only to have amazing courage, extraordinary strength, and excellent flexibility, but also to a comprehensive test of climbers' endurance and judgment.

Seeing Ma Zheng rise rapidly behind the cliff like an ape, everyone was stunned, and after Ma Zheng disappeared from their sight, all the fighters, including Huang Sicheng, became excited.

As long as Ma Zheng climbs up, then they will win half of this battle, the bandits rely on nothing more than the terrain and the large number of people, as long as they descend from the sky, the bandits will lose the terrain advantage, plus the incident is sudden, it is impossible for those bandits to be undefeated.

Soon, two ropes were thrown down the cliff, and after checking the safety of the ropes, Huang Sicheng immediately ordered the soldiers to go up the mountain.

With ropes it was much easier, and in less than half an hour, more than seventy warriors had all climbed the cliff.

After going up the cliff, Ma Zheng whispered to everyone: "I touched it in just now and took a look, it seems that there was just a wine banquet here last night, the empty wine jar was lost, and many bandits slept on the spot with their clothes, this is a great opportunity for us." ”

"That's great, if the bandits were drunk, we'd have suffered a lot fewer casualties." Huang Sicheng said.

"Well, but there doesn't seem to be something quite right in a few courtyards to the west, I see that there seems to be a lot of security there, and there are still people coming in and out at such a late hour, we can't be careless!" Ma Zheng said.

"Company commander, is that the residence of Yun Batian?" Huang Sicheng asked.

"No, look at the small second floor, it is the largest and most luxurious building in this bandit's den, where to live is not only safe and comfortable, but also shows identity, so Yun Batian must live there." Ma Zheng analyzed.

"So what do we do now?" Huang Sicheng asked again.

"In this way, I will take a squad of soldiers to capture Yun Batian, you will take a platoon of people to control the courtyard in the west, and the rest of the people will be led by Tie Niu to clean the other courtyards. Remember not to shoot if you can, don't kill those who are drunk, find ropes and tie them up, those will be our soldiers in the future! Ma Zheng ordered.

"Yes"

At this time, in a large courtyard on the west side of Hades Mountain, two middle-aged men in their thirties were discussing something with frowns, and one of them was wearing a big red wedding robe.

"Third brother, do we really want to do this?" The slightly younger man said in a worried tone.

"Fourth, if the boss only sells tobacco and kidnapping tickets, we bandits are not so poor. But now he wants to take refuge in the Japanese, and he wants to be a traitor, so we can't ignore it. The middle-aged man in the wedding robe said in a deep voice.

"But there's no need to use a gun, what's the point of saying no to the boss directly?"

"Fourth, my brother has looked for him three times, but he scolded him, Yun Batian, that old bastard is determined to be a traitor, if you don't want to help your brother, then just take your people to stand aside and watch the excitement."

"Third brother, what are you talking about, our brothers have always advanced and retreated together, since you have decided to do the opposite, then I will follow you. Being a bandit is enough to be sorry for your parents, and if you are a fucking traitor, you will lose the face of your ancestors for eight generations. The young man said loudly.

"Tap the sound! Brother used the name of marriage today to pour down Yun Batian and his gang of irons, and transferred Yun Batian's remaining henchmen to the bottom of the mountain to guard the door, we won't have anything to lose in this matter! ”

"The third brother is still shrewd, so let's act!"

"Wait until the third watch day to do it, when people are asleep, and the resistance is much less."

"Okay, I'll listen to the third brother!"
