Chapter 1158: The Battle of Banhong (3)

The local mountain elders hurriedly explained to the officers of the 3rd Mountain Division, you did not leak secrets, when you attacked Rolling Lane, one of our mountain babies happened to be in Rolling Lane City, and when he heard that your speech was in Yunnan dialect, he felt that you must be the army of the Han people, and this time you came to rescue our Wa and Dai people. So the mountain baby ran back from Rolling Lane last night, and ran all the way to the cave where we were hiding in the mountains, and we have been waiting for you for a long time.

Liu Bin said in disbelief: "How fast is your mountain baby running? ”

The elder immediately said proudly: "Don't look at this kid who has no father or mother since he was a child, but this kid can run for a day as long as he eats a little food, and he grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and his life is cheap and hard." Lao Zai, come here. ”

A boy who was more than one meter tall and fifty meters tall, with a big head and a thin body, walked over timidly, looking black, with a collapsed nose, a big mouth, and a pair of small but bright eyes.

"He's a fisherman, that's what he sued everyone. Lao Tsai was picked up by everyone in the river, no name or surname, because he was picked up in the river, everyone named him Lao Tsai. He grew up in Bagongzhai, but a month ago, the people in Bagongzhai were killed by the British, so he ran away with it. The elder introduced.

Said that the Bagong Village was destroyed, Lao Zi lowered his head and cried, although the Lao Zi who was raised by the people in the village since he was a child did not live well, but the cottage is his own home, the old aunts and old fathers were burned to death in the bamboo house by the British because they did not want to leave the Bagong Village.

Liu Bin sighed and said, "Don't worry, we will avenge this revenge." He looked at Lao Tsai again and asked, "Are you fast?" ”

"Hmm." Lao Tsai nodded and said. "No one can outrun me."

Liu Bin asked, "You only have the name Laozai?" ”

"Everyone calls me Laozi." Lao Tsai said.

"Do you want to be a soldier?"

"What is it to be a soldier?"

"To be a soldier is to follow me, to fight the British with me. You can eat and wear new clothes, but you just have to listen to me. Liu Bin said.

Lao Tsai immediately shouted: "As long as I fight the British, I am willing to do anything." ”

Liu Bin laughed and said, "Okay, you will follow me in the future, let me be a soldier first." You don't have a name or a surname - this Laozi is your nickname, you have to be a big name, you are from Yunnan. Let's take the surname Yun. Our unit is the Seventh Army under the Phoenix Legion, how about you call it Yunfengqi? ”

"Yun Fengqi?" Lao Zai muttered, "Yunfeng Qi...... Okay, my name is Yun Fengqi! I have a name and a surname, my name is Yun Fengqi! My name is Yun Fengqi! ”

"Don't call it a nickname, Lao Zi Lao Zi, it always makes people think that you have no father and no mother and were picked up. I'll give you a nickname. Your nickname is Xiao Qi. Liu Bin patted him on the shoulder and said, then took out the dagger he was carrying and shouted in his hand, "Give you a weapon, and when you win the battle against the British and officially join the army, I will give you a gun." ”

"Hmm." Yun Fengqi said excitedly.

After the upper cancella, it then goes downward. At nine o'clock in the evening of the same day, they arrived at Fabao, which was 20 kilometers away, but the local villagers said that Manglai Village, which was five kilometers away from Fabao, was stationed with hundreds of British soldiers (Indians) in Dabaotou. Liu Bin immediately ordered the three battalions to rest, and then sent a squad of soldiers to Manglai Village under the leadership of the villagers to investigate. Yun Fengqi immediately said that our Bagong Village is near Manglai Village, and I am familiar with it. I'll take you there. Liu Bin saw that he was eager to make meritorious contributions, and after admonishing him, he found two villagers, a total of 14 people to reconnoiter Manglai Village.

The scouts soon learned that the British baggage troops were stationed in Manglai, and that the British troops were placed in Banhong to confront the first part of the 3rd Mountain Division, while the baggage troops were placed in Manglai Village, fifteen kilometers away from Banhong.

The large army then also arrived at Fabao Village, and after the reconnaissance was completed, Liu Bin immediately reported to Xiao Yaonan, who asked if there were several hundred Indian soldiers, and Liu Bin said that according to the soldiers' reconnaissance, judging from the number of tents, there should be at least 500 of them.

Xiao Yaonan thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Five hundred Indian soldiers are not easy to handle, according to intelligence, Manglai Village is only fifteen kilometers away from Ban Hong, once it starts here, Ban Hong will definitely find out." So if you want to fight, you have to attack one part and two parts together. ”

It seems that catching turtles in the urn is not so easy.

"If you want to take Manglai Village by surprise, and then march quickly, it is best to bypass Manglai Village partially, we have a lot of people, and more than 4,000 people do not necessarily have to be blocked by this small place." The head of the 257th regiment, Hong Linge Jian, said.

"yes." Wang Changhai, the head of the 258th regiment, said, "I asked Liu Bin to come over and see how he communicates with the locals." ”

When he learned that the chiefs were going to bypass Manglai Village, Liu Bin looked dazed, he didn't think about bypassing Manglai, so he called Yun Fengqi. Of course, Xiao Qi couldn't understand the official rank, he only felt that these people should have a higher status than the owner of the village, and as for how high it was, he didn't understand it. Liu Bin asked him if there was a way to bypass Manglai and go directly to Banhong, Xiao Qi immediately said: "Yes, take the mountain road, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." ”

Xiao Yaonan and the others laughed and said, "Our mountain division is still afraid of taking mountain roads? The last thing we are afraid of walking is the mountain road, if we take the mountain road, how long will it take to walk from here to Banhong? ”

"Let's go for a day." Hung Linger asked.

"Walk the big road, walk for half a day." Yun Fengqi said.

Xiao Yaonan and the others looked at each other, is this still a small road? This path is not a shortcut.

Yun Fengqi said: "I tell you that you are walking on the mountain road, and you need to go over the mountains and mountains, and it is normal to walk for a day, but if you encounter bad legs and feet, you have to walk for a day and a night." ”

"!" Xiao Yaonan said, "Have a good rest tonight, and ...... tomorrow Head Hong. ”

"Here." Hung Linger said.

Xiao Yaonan said: "Tomorrow you will stay with the first battalion and the second battalion, and the radio station of your regiment will also be left for you, waiting for the order to launch an attack on the British ** team in Manglai." Tomorrow I will take the 258th Regiment and the third battalion of your regiment to bypass the mountain road and pounce directly on Banhong. Commander Wang, do you understand? ”

Wang Changhai immediately said: "I understand." ”

"Okay, the 257th regiment will arrange for people to stand guard and sentry, and the others will rest." Siu Yiu South Road.

Before going to bed, Xiao Yaonan and Li Shucheng, the commander of the 3rd Mountain Division, sent a last telegram contact, saying that they had already detoured to 20 kilometers behind the British, but they had encountered the British baggage depot on the main road, and they were ready to divide the troops into two ways again, one part stayed to annihilate the enemy's baggage depot, and the other part bypassed the baggage depot to arrive at Ban Hong's back along the path, and it was estimated that they would arrive tomorrow night. The time for our general attack is at twelve o'clock tomorrow evening, and we will take advantage of the chaos to launch a general attack on the British, who will inevitably be locked together when they are frightened.

Li Shucheng immediately called back and said that our department was already gearing up and waiting for an order.

Early the next morning, more than 2,600 people from four battalions led by Xiao Yaonan began to enter the forest under the leadership of Yun Fengqi, and every soldier was asked to unload his bullets to prevent shooting and startling snakes when he encountered danger, and the soldiers were required to use bayonets to deal with danger. Of course, the biggest danger in the forest is the poisonous snake, but fortunately this path avoids the poisonous snake infested places, but the mosquitoes in the mountains get up early.

Everyone immediately took out the insect repellent and applied it to their bodies, but there was always no place to wipe it, and it was still enough to be attacked by mosquitoes. At noon, I rested on the mountain, ate some compressed biscuits, and drank some water that I had brought with me. Xiao Yaonan called Yun Fengqi to ask what was going on with this child, Liu Bin said it all, Xiao Yaonan laughed and said: "You can survive if you are thrown into the stream, you kid is born with a hard life, who should be a soldier if a person like you is not a soldier?" ”

Yun Fengqi scratched his head when he heard this, and he smirked.

Xiao Yaonan said: "I'll vouch for you when I go back, and I'll admit you as a soldier exceptionally." ”

"Thank you, Uncle." Yun Fengqi immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude, causing everyone to laugh.

On the way, to the horror of the few Shanxi soldiers in the army, they actually encountered a group of monkeys, they mistook them for savages, and were so frightened that they wanted to fight with bayonets, but they were stopped by the Yunnan soldiers. After some introduction, a few northern soldiers who had never seen a monkey were very interested in monkeys, and they said again and again that it was really interesting.

However, the Yunnan soldiers couldn't help but laugh and said: "It would be bad if your family planted crops nearby, and these monkeys from Akita would come to pick the fruits." These monkeys are shrewd, picking out people's places to steal crops, and everyone is annoyed. ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yaonan's troops finally arrived at Banhong, but to their dismay, they actually came to the mountain behind Banhong's mine, and if they wanted to attack the British, they had to slide down a 70-degree slope more than 20 meters high. Everyone looked at it and felt that this angle was too dangerous, it was impossible to slide down, and the slope of more than 20 meters was full of rocks and mud, in case one accidentally rolled down and fell to his death. They were simply mountain masters, and they all carried ten-meter-long ropes, three ropes tied up and tied to a tree, and it was safer to slide down the rope.

At the bottom of the slope is a silver mine, where a part of the British is watching the work of the workers, who are captured by the local Wa and Dai people, as well as the Han Qingzhuang.

Everyone decided to take a break and wait for the arrival of twelve o'clock in the evening.

Everyone was careful not to make a little noise, and they didn't even dare to snore when they slept, and finally stayed up to eleven or forty o'clock, Xiao Yaonan looked at his watch and nodded to everyone to start. Suddenly, ropes were thrown down the mountain, and the 3rd Mountain Division, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Wehrmacht, Du Baosan, made a move, and they jumped out of the cliff halfway up the mountain from behind the British.

At twelve o'clock, the 258th Regiment all went down the mountain, and Xiao Yaonan shouted: "Kill the British for me!" "The soldiers rushed like tigers to the British camp.

"Kill!" At the foot of Ban Ban Mountain, Li Shucheng's 259th Regiment and 260th Regiment began to attack the British.

"Kill!" The first and second battalions of the 257th Regiment, which had already surrounded Manglai Village in the afternoon, began to attack the British baggage troops.

"Kill!" In the Banhong mining area, Xiao Yaonan's troops launched a surprise attack on the British.
