On the high ground in the south behind the position, Yu Jishi put down the telescope that he had held for more than ten minutes, strode down the hill with a black face, and asked when he entered the temporary headquarters: "Where is Commander Wu?" ”

The communications staff officer hurriedly stood up: "Report to the division, I received a call back from Regiment Commander Wu twenty minutes ago, he completed the material handover with the Eighth Division at 11:20 a.m., and the whole regiment has turned around and returned north, it is expected to ...... From now on, you should be able to reach Nancheng in four hours. ”

Yu Jishi's face looked much better, nodded and turned around and walked out of the headquarters, almost colliding with Wu Qiwei who came in, Yu Jishi hurriedly asked: "Why is Brother Qingyun here?" ”

"I heard a report from the artillery battalion that the communist army occupied too many blind spots in the passes, and the artillery fire covered the bombardment with little effect, so I came here to take a look." Wu Qiwei said very brotherly.

Yu Jishi's heart warmed, and he pulled Wu Qiwei to the high ground in front of him, pointed to the pass that was still smoking two kilometers to the west, and said:

"That place is not easy to fight, it can be called a husband and a man! I couldn't do anything after thinking about it all morning, so I had to wait for Wu Mingtuan to come back and see if he could bypass the mountains and dense forests on both sides. ”

Wu Qiwei is a native of Guangdong, who has led troops to train in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong all the year round, and is very familiar with the mountains.

"They are all high mountains and forests, the slope of the mountains is very large, and the stone walls and cliffs abound, it is really difficult to climb over the past, but as long as you find the passage, it is easy to fight, but the skills and tenacity of the officers and soldiers are quite high, and our Central Army may not be able to do it, can Wu Mingtuan have this ability?"

Yu Jishi looked at the vast and steep mountain, and was also a little unsure: "There should be one, right?" If Wu Mingtuan was also discouraged, he could only bring the heavy artillery regiment directly under Fuzhou to bombard it non-stop...... This ghost weather is gloomy and gloomy, as if it is going to rain heavily, and the plane can't take off, otherwise it can be captured in an hour with an air-ground coordination. ”

Wu Qiwei looked up at the cloudy sky and sighed helplessly. He also has a special service company under his command that is good at fighting mountain warfare, and he thinks that his special service company is the most capable raid combat unit, but because it is not easy to come by, he can't bear to spend it in vain in this strange and dangerous place.

The cumulonimbus clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and the changing wind direction blows the vegetation all over the mountains and fields to sway from side to side, and it is only about six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky is as gloomy as the evening.

In the damp wind, Wu Ming, who was covered in mud, stood on the high ground behind the starting line of the attack, holding binoculars in both hands, and observed for a long time the pass in front of him that was blown up by artillery fire, and behind him were five battalion and company commanders who were also dirty but as attentive as Wu Ming were observing the battlefield ahead, and the six people stood in a staggered manner, like a group of majestic group sculptures, which attracted the admiring eyes of countless officers and soldiers.

The officers and men of Wu Ming's regiment, who traveled 70 kilometers non-stop for a day and a night, and rushed back after successfully completing the task of escorting a large number of weapons and ammunition, could not but admire the tenacity and toughness of Wu Ming's regiment.

At this moment, the six chief officers of Wu Ming's regiment had just come back and climbed the high ground, and on the open ground of more than 50 meters behind them, nearly a thousand officers and soldiers of the Fifth Regiment who were drenched but straightened were also standing neatly, and it seemed that as long as their regiment commander gave an order, they would not hesitate to rush to the battlefield with raging artillery in front of them.

The officers and men of the artillery battalion of the 90th Division, who had supported them with artillery for a day, stopped the shelling, but the two regiments that were crawling on the charging position in front did not move, Wu Ming put away the binoculars, looked at each other and smiled, and without saying a word, he strode down the gentle slope behind the side of the high ground, and the five battalion company commanders tacitly put away the binoculars and followed Wu Ming downhill in a column.

Everyone thought that Wu Ming would return directly to the rear headquarters and report the observed situation to Yu Jishi and Wu Qiwei, but who knew that halfway through the road, Wu Ming turned to the stream on the left alone, untied the armed belt on his body as he walked, and when he arrived at the stream, he let it go, stripped off his essence three times and twice, and didn't care about the countless pairs of stunned eyes around him, and jumped down into the waist-deep stream to take a quick bath.

Fifteen minutes later, Wu Ming, who was clean but wet, appeared at the door of the temporary headquarters, and loudly reported that he had raised his legs to go in, and Chen Shizheng, who was next to the map, looked up and asked the wet Wu Ming in shock: "It's raining?" ”

Wu Ming smiled, looked at the map with three red dotted lines, and after only three seconds, he pointed to the dotted line farthest from the pass to the north:

"It's a bit harder and the farthest road, but it's the safest."

Yu Jishi was very surprised when he heard it: "This road is at least sixteen kilometers, and there are all rugged peaks and streams along the way. ”

"If you can't go, you have to go...... The terrain to the south is more complex and there are more cliffs, so it's better to walk a little longer to be safe. Wu Ming has already made up his mind.

Everyone looked at each other, and Wu Qiwei suddenly asked, "How many officers and soldiers are you going to dispatch?" ”

Wu Ming replied: "A company, I personally lead the team. ”

"What? Are you leading the team personally? ”

Wu Qiwei was surprised, in his opinion, in addition to Wu Ming's height advantage, the whole human quality is polite, and even the skin of his hands is not half calloused, how can he personally lead the team to perform such a difficult task?

Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng had heard that Wu Ming was skilled, his marksmanship was clever, and the training plans of the officers and soldiers under his command were all formulated by him, and he often trained with the officers and soldiers, so he was not surprised, but he was faintly reluctant to go, but Wu Ming led the team to reassure them, and he was more decisive, and he was full of contradictions for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Wu Ming quickly glanced at everyone's expressions, wiped the water stains on his neck with his hand, and explained lightly:

"More people will be slow, less people will not be enough, one company is just right. The subordinate special service company has five platoons under its command, namely two assault platoons, one reconnaissance platoon, one sniper squad, and one demolition squad, with a total number of 160 people, excluding two ordnance divisions, five combat staff officers, and three wounded and sick men, and 150 people who are competent for this task, which is enough. ”

Yu Jishi exhaled slowly: "Okay, I'll send you, what equipment do you need me to provide?" ”

"Xie Lu Xie Shizuo, the equipment is already available, I implore Shizuo to keep everything in our spy company confidential, and my subordinates don't want to spread the news to cause unnecessary trouble. If it doesn't work, please don't send us off, and pretend not to see it. Wu Ming asked in a low voice.

Yu Jishi came to the spirit instead: "What's the matter? Could it be that your spy company is better than the spy company under the guard regiment of the General Headquarters? ”

Wu Ming thought for a while and replied: "Is it more bullish and my subordinates don't know what to do, but some equipment is designed and developed by subordinates, so it's ......."

"Let's go! Take me to see it, and I'll promise you to keep it a secret. ”

Yu Jishi agreed, and Wu Qiwei, Chen Shizheng, and the chief of staff of the 90th Division and other generals and colonels also went to see a new one.

Wu Ming pointed to the north: "There is a forest one kilometer away from the north, and in an hour later, the subordinates will lead the team to gather in the woods. ”

Yu Jishi knew that Wu Ming needed time to prepare, and the brothers of the spy company under his command still needed to eat and replenish ammunition, so he nodded understandingly: "Then I'll see you in an hour." ”
