Baiguozhai is a small cottage built on the mountainside, only a dozen families rely on the terraced fields and two clear springs flowing down the mountain to grow grain, harvest two seasons of rice and one season of soybeans every year, plus picking mountain goods and hunting in the slack season, the days are also stable and comfortable.

Everything that Wu Mingtuan's spy company did after it was stationed in Baiguozhai made more than a dozen families feel reassured and even cordial, and the villagers found that the more than 150 officers and men not only did not embarrass anyone, but also spoke very well.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Shangrao dialect can understand the villagers, but the other 30 officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang and Western dialect villagers do not understand, but this does not prevent the Baiguozhai villagers from having a good impression of this group of officers and soldiers, as soon as the officers and soldiers came, they gave the entire village 20 catties of high-grade refined salt, and then said that they would never requisition anything, nor would they live in every household, and more than 100 officers and soldiers set up two rows of sturdy bamboo buildings on the slope south of the village in less than a day.

During the construction of the bamboo tower, more than a dozen officers and men also blew up two huge stones that protruded on the mountainside behind the south slope, connected the folds that protruded on the mountainside and extended to the south, and cleared out a trail more than 30 zhang long and more than three feet wide, so that without first going down the mountain and walking a winding mountain road more than a mile long and then climbing a steep hill half a mile long, you can directly reach the cave on the cliff that only monkeys have visited.

At this time, Wu Ming was standing at the entrance of the stone wall more than 50 meters above the ground, holding a telescope to carefully observe the terrain in front of him, and Lu Kuiyuan, the commander of the special service company, who had changed into a pine green combat uniform and a new combat vest, stood beside Wu Ming and whispered that the slightly ovoid hole was not big, but it could easily accommodate seven or eight people to stand and watch.

After more than ten minutes, Wu Ming finally put away the commemorative version of the Zeiss telescope, pointed to the southwest mountain peak and asked, "Is the newly discovered mountain road over there guarded?" ”

"I was put on a shift last night, and the guard changed this morning...... That road is so important that it can go directly to the top of our heads, and it is not safe to send people to guard it day and night! Lu Kuiyuan, who has grown a thick beard on his upper lip and cheeks, looks like a thirty-year-old person, and his mind and personality have also matured.

Wu Ming thought for a moment: "There are not many of you, but the task is very heavy, even if you change shifts a day to guard there, it will take twenty-five brothers...... Therefore, I want to simply destroy the single-plank bridge and plant a few more mines that you have brought, so that I don't have to guard it all day, and the twenty or so brothers will be able to free up their hands to strengthen other directions. It's up to you to decide what to do, as you're the commander of this place, and you're more familiar with the situation than I am. ”

Lu Kuiyuan looked between the two mountains where the single-plank bridge was located 500 meters away, and after weighing it repeatedly, he agreed with Wu Ming's opinion:

"That's fine, if you look at the top, although you can't see the single-plank bridge above, you can clearly see the gap between the north and south peaks, about five hundred and fifty meters from the observation point here, and more than seven hundred meters from the fortifications below and the rear barracks, so you don't have to worry about the enemy occupying the southern mountain peak and shooting at us......"

"Even if the enemy puts a heavy machine gun with a range of 1,000 meters, we can easily kill him with mortars, the only trouble is that the single-plank bridge that is put down by the whole tree as a bridge is too big for a person to hold, it can be seen that the calculation when the big tree was put down was very detailed, and it was also very laborious, and if it was blown up, I was worried that the villagers in the village would have opinions."

"This is easy to do, I'll go and say, if it doesn't work, I'll compensate the villagers for twenty oceans, it's better than being scared day and night, right?" Zhang Dongning said loudly that he had been in charge of the intelligence work of the headquarters for several years, perhaps because of his personality, and he maintained a high degree of vigilance at all times.

Dai Ziran and other staff officers also agreed with Zhang Dongning's opinion, Lu Kuiyuan did not insist anymore when he saw this, followed Wu Ming through the natural folded mountain road that ran through the edge of the cliff, returned to the barracks to make some preparations, and took ** to the single-plank bridge on the top of the mountain in the southwest.

Lu Kuiyuan walked at the front of the team, and every time he climbed a bend, he looked for a place with a wide field of vision and told Wu Ming where there were dark sentinels on the side of the stream and beside the road ahead, and where was the most difficult complex area to find abnormalities.

Wu Ming listened very carefully, was deeply satisfied with Lu Kuiyuan's ability and vision, and gradually had a plan to upgrade the spy company to a battalion.

Wu Ming walked and stopped, from time to time on a certain terrain and the corresponding defense organization to discuss, when more than 100 meters away from the single-plank bridge, a steel helmet full of leaves and withered grass, holding a Thomson submachine gun brother quickly ran from the mountain, Wu Ming and the others immediately stopped, saw the rapid figure of the person who came and suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

The squad leader who led the team on the mountain did not run along the curve, but flew down directly from the rock more than five meters high, and landed more than three meters in front of Wu Ming and Lu Kuiyuan, and whispered with both legs:

"Report to the regiment and report to the company commander, there is an abnormal situation on the east side of the mountain beam 1,500 meters to the south...... After receiving the urgent report, the subordinates immediately went out to observe, and found through the telescope that this team that suddenly appeared was about 50 people, wearing gray military uniforms, with two light machine guns in the team, and the rest were long and short guns, and several people seemed to be carrying heavy burdens on their backs, and their movements were quite agile and very secretive, and it was estimated that in another twenty minutes, they would turn around the southwest cliff and appear in front of our first secret sentry. ”

Wu Ming and the others were greatly surprised, and Lu Kuiyuan asked, "How did you find out?" ”

"Report to the company commander, it was found by the she-wolf dog of the second group of the military dog team...... This dog is quite smart, jumped up early and stared at the south, not only did not bark, but also dragged his master Qi Laosi forward, Qi Laosi felt that something was wrong, called our outpost to take the dog out of the gang, and soon found this team in the south. The team leader explained in detail.

Lu Kuiyuan turned to Wu Ming excitedly: "Tuanzao, how about a fight?" ”

Wu Ming waved his hand: "Go up first, let's go!" ”

Everyone ran up and rushed to the outpost behind Lu Kuiyuan and his squad leader, and arrived at an open place more than 30 meters behind the outpost in less than 15 minutes.

Because the outpost is set up on the northeast side of more than 30 meters away from the mountain pass in front, where the rocks are rugged and bushes, and there is a large rock in front that has been dyed dark brown by the years, the selection point is extremely hidden, and the view is good, but the place is narrow, and at most four people can lie down.

Lu Kuiyuan and the squad leader ran to the sentry post with Wu Ming, and Lei Qingshan, a hidden sentry wearing a special camouflage suit with a sniper rifle in his arms, was surprised to see Wu Ming, after he left Phoenix Mountain to defect to Wu Ming, Wu Ming took him from an ignorant She hunter who could only hunt, and trained him into a blocker that everyone envied, and even the name Lei Qingshan was given to him by Wu Ming, so how could he not be excited to see Wu Ming who was like a father and brother in his heart.

Wu Ming waved his hand to signal that he did not need to salute, skillfully took out the binoculars from the holster on his waist, and leaned on the rock in front of him to observe carefully.

"Why isn't there any movement?" Wu Ming asked in a low voice.

The squad leader and Lu Kuiyuan looked at Lei Qingshan at the same time, and Lei Qingshan hurriedly replied: "Seventy meters away in front of the left is a mountain col, and there is a path that slopes about forty degrees to the mountainside stream, and the waterhole is about five meters in circumference, and there are two chestnut trees on the west and east sides that have grown for at least a hundred years, which are very suitable for drinking water and resting. Just now, his subordinates and the squad leader of the military dog team took the dog to the waterhole, and only found out about the situation when they climbed the mountainside further south, and it is estimated that the people who came to rest in that place. ”

Wu Ming nodded, patted the sniper's shoulder and quickly retreated, Lu Kuiyuan ordered the sniper and the squad leader to continue to monitor, and then followed Wu Ming back to everyone.

Wu Ming did not discuss with anyone this time, and pointed to Lei Biao, the deputy commander of the special service company, in public, and decisively ordered: "Bring the demolition team and immediately blow up the single-plank bridge in the north!" ”

"Yes!"

Lei Biao, who was a lot stronger, quickly took the blasting team that followed Wu Ming up the mountain, picked up the ** bag and blasting tools and ran to the north without hesitation.
