Wu Ming returned to the big tree where the headquarters was temporarily resting, and instructed Dai Ziran to open the map, summon the battalion and company commanders to assign tasks, and analyzed in a low voice:

"Although the army has tightly sealed the news of the southern battlefield, I feel it is necessary to tell you that as of one o'clock today at noon, the two divisions besieged by the main force of the communist army have been finished, and it is estimated that no more than 2,000 troops will escape from the last day...... The 79th Division, the closest reinforcement to the battlefield, was attacked head-on by the main force of the Red Army, and it is estimated that it has retreated to Nanfeng at this moment, and the two divisions led by General Chen Cheng have also retreated after receiving some of the officers and soldiers who have escaped, and according to the latest information, the main force of the Red Army has lost its trace again. ”

"Secondly, the Red Army, which has won a great victory, has been fighting continuously for more than 20 days, and it also needs to rest and digest the results of the battle, and the Red Army that attacked Maopailing should only be a partial division of theirs, and it is impossible for it to hang alone for a long time in the northern mountainous area 50 kilometers away from its main force...... Therefore, I judge that the detachment that occupied Maopailing will definitely withdraw, either tonight or tomorrow morning, and our current attack is to force them to withdraw quickly, and if we can recover Maopailing, it will be a great achievement, and if we cannot recover it, it will also be a great merit for the Red Army to retreat quickly. ”

"In view of this, the brothers of each battalion and company should have a good rest, prepare me immediately in the second half of the night, as long as I see three red signal flares rising into the air, I will not hesitate to rush to the pass, and whether there is an enemy or not, I will shoot fiercely and throw dozens of grenades, I will send someone to answer it, understand?"

The crowd replied in unison: "Understood!" ”

Zhang Siwei, the commander of the engineer company, was very excited: "Tuanzao, let's be the forward troops, the brothers want to go back and see if the bridge on the south side of the village is still there." ”

Wu Ming turned to Dai Zichen unhappily: "The engineer company is under your command, and after rushing to the pass, you will guard it for me...... The rest of the departments under the jurisdiction of Master Yu will definitely follow. ”

"Understood!"

Dai Zichen immediately agreed, and Zhang Siwei suddenly realized that he had made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and immediately wilted, causing the brothers to laugh at him.

Wu Ming looked at the commander of the first battalion: "Dizhong, the first battalion and the machine gun company are led by you, as long as they rush to the pass, they will rush to Maopai Ridge with all their might, and launch intensive shooting against the sky along the way, we must create the momentum of the attack of the large army, the greater the momentum, the faster our opponent will run." ”

Yin Dizhong, who was calm and practiced, nodded heavily: "Although don't worry, we will divide our troops into two roads after passing the pass, all the way to the village, and all the way to the south of the trail to attack Baiguozhai, and we will definitely build up momentum." ”

Wu Ming nodded with satisfaction: "If it rains heavily, we will move forward steadily, although we often conduct night combat training, but in rainy nights when the light is not enough, we must also use our special waterproof flashlight, but we must keep in mind the rules of use to avoid unnecessary casualties." ”

"Yes!"

Yin Dizhong and Dai Zichen replied in unison.

Wu Ming stood up: "Okay, after I lead the team to leave, Dongning is responsible for the contact with the division headquarters, responsible for the overall command and coordination, let's go and prepare...... It was about to rain, and the temperature dropped quickly, so I went back and ordered all the officers and soldiers to change their clothes immediately, so that the brothers could not be frozen. ”

######

An hour later, Yu Jishi, Wu Qiwei and others, escorted by an elite company, rode horses to the outside of the grove north of the position.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and if it weren't for the light of the flashlight, no one would be able to see the one hundred and fifty-one elites lined up neatly with their backs against the woods.

Yu Jishi and the others turned over and dismounted, walked to Wu Ming who was holding a flashlight to the ground, and leaned over to carefully look at Wu Ming, who was dressed in a strange outfit.

Because the light was too dim, Yu Jishi, who was looking very hard, simply snatched the flashlight in Wu Ming's hand and shone it directly on Wu Ming, which immediately caused a commotion among everyone.

I saw Wu Ming wearing a steel helmet covered with camouflage cloth and rope nets, his white face turned into a black, black, green and green big flower face, holding a Thomson machine gun in his hand, and there was a weird vest sewn with camouflage canvas, which was sewn with large and small pockets, except for the six magazine sleeves connected together in front of the vest, no one knew what the other bags contained, there were two canvas fastening straps with elastic stainless steel buckles on both sides of the vest, the two cuffs were tightened, and the waist was surrounded by binoculars. The Colt pistol and the special kettle in a canvas case, as well as two small leather boxes that I don't know what to hold, were all firmly attached to Wu Ming's waist.

Looking at the other big man on the side, in addition to the steel helmet, high-top thick-bottomed canvas military shoes and pants are the same as Wu Ming's, the heavy vest is very different, there are two more British Mark oval grenades hanging on the left chest, and there are three stainless steel triangle buckles hanging on the thick canvas belt around the waist, and his Colt pistol is placed in a different place, which is directly fixed on the outside of his thigh along with the holster.

Yu Jishi, who was extremely stunned, looked down one after another with a flashlight, and found that there were several styles of vests and backpacks on everyone's body, and the camouflage vests with different shapes and functions and the heavy backpacks behind them were all delicate and sturdy.

Everyone had the same pistol, except for the other weapon, the most heavily armed weapon was the American Thomson submachine gun, the rest were Czech machine guns, scoped sniper rifles, and even four French 60 mortars with the seat plates removed, and the other five spearheads had round waist packs with large rolls of black string around their waists, two metal pulleys for downhill were attached to the outside of the waist bags, and a refined repeating steel crossbow was seen on the other two spearheads, as well as a radio station.

Yu Jishi asked twice what the equipment he didn't know was called? Wu Ming didn't answer, so he didn't ask if he saw anything new, and walked down from beginning to end, Yu Jishi's feelings were the same as everyone else, and he was shocked and very puzzled.

Wu Qiwei, who followed Yu Jishi's side, was no better, and returned to Wu Ming after watching a round, and asked curiously about the long flashlight in Yu Jishi's hand: "Is this heavy thick tube flashlight American or British?" ”

"I made it myself, the electric beads and batteries are American goods, 3.8 volts, under normal circumstances, people can see 100 meters away, and they can be used underwater, but the cost is too high, we only made fifty." Wu Ming replied calmly.

Wu Qiwei asked again: "How much can I buy such a piece of equipment?" ”

Wu Ming hesitated: "I haven't calculated it carefully, let's put it this way, equipment, training, military salaries, supplies and subsidies, etc., all add up, and the total monthly expenditure is almost equal to the total expenditure of our entire regiment, and this money is all raised by us, so it has not been reported." ”

Wu Qiwei gasped, and Yu Jishi hurriedly asked, "How long has this unit been established?" ”

"Two years and seven months, the latest officers and men to join the army also have more than one year of military experience." Wu Ming replied truthfully.

Everyone didn't need to calculate carefully, they knew that this spy company was piled up with money, and a company cost a regiment's military expenses, and no one in the country was doing it at present, Wu Qiwei thought that the expenditure of his spy company was three times that of an ordinary infantry company, which was already luxurious enough, and now compared with Wu Ming's spy company, he was not embarrassed to say it at all.

Yu Jishi sighed faintly: "No wonder you are hiding it, I understand it!" ”

"Master, it's not too early, my subordinates ask to go!" Wu Ming didn't want to waste time.

Yu Jishi had no choice but to nod, his confidence in Wu Ming's trip suddenly multiplied, he pulled Wu Ming's empty left hand, held it tightly, and commanded in a low voice: "When you return triumphantly, I will give you a wine to celebrate!" ”

"Thank you!"

Wu Ming took half a step back, pulled out his left hand and shook it slightly, then snatched the flashlight in Wu Qiwei's hand, turned off the electric door, inserted it into the holster on his waist, and saluted Yu Jishi upright, then turned around on the spot, trotted to the front of the team, and strode north.

One hundred and fifty elites followed, and apart from the occasional slight sound of metal and footsteps, the whole team was silent.

When the spy company walked out fifty meters, the three flashlights in the team were extinguished one after another, and Yu Jishi and the others, who were watching on the spot, immediately lost sight of the entire team.

A few guards on the side hurriedly took out a white iron flashlight and turned it on, Yu Jishi snatched the flashlight closest to him, and shot directly in the direction where Wu Ming's spy company disappeared, shaking for a long time to look for it, but there was no one to see.
