On the cliff less than 500 meters away from the east pass, more than 30 ropes, either thick or small, had already hung down, and the brethren of the assault platoon of the special service company who took the lead in sliding down the 30-meter cliff boldly turned on the flashlight, and began to slowly hang down six sappers who had been injured in the demolition mission on the cliff, and more than a dozen ropes on the south side laid down eight dismantled mortars and two heavy machine guns at the same time.

The battle at the East Pass in the north had ended, and Division Commander Yu Jishi and Chief of Staff Chen Shi were standing on a high ground two kilometers to the east, looking at the hazy East Pass under the night sky, and sighed secretly.

"Shizuo, launch four attacks in three hours, although I'm not sure if it's effective, but we've done everything we can, it's up to Wu Ming to see himself...... I hope he can fight his way out and escape. Chen Shizheng whispered to comfort Yu Jishi, who was unwilling to order a retreat.

Yu Jishi replied weakly after a while: "Order to withdraw, I'm afraid the ammunition of the two regiments will also run out." ”

Chen Shizheng gestured to the adjutant behind him, and when he turned to Yu Ji, he asked curiously, "Which direction do you guess Wu Ming will break through?" ”

"I've been thinking about this question since I received his last telegram two hours ago, and I still can't figure it out, looking at Wu Ming's military career in the past few years, except for the number and military discipline, he has hardly done anything according to the routine, including the two stages of recruit training, including equipment and unique formation, and the extreme importance of engineers......"

"Everything Wu Ming pursues is completely different from ordinary troops, and the marching arrangements and combat ideas are also unique, so I can't guess what he really thinks. In his last telegram, he made it clear that in order to ensure secrecy, he did not dare to reveal his plan for the next move, which shows that he was very cautious, cautious to the point of not believing the generals of the former enemy command. ”

Yu Ji felt it from time to time, and he was still emotional.

Chen Shizheng thought so: "Even if he escapes back this time, the entire Fifth Regiment will be broken, and it is estimated that there are not a few left, I am afraid that we will have to fully support him to rebuild." ”

Yu Jishi turned to Chen Shizheng and said very solemnly: "As long as he can escape back, even if it is only one person, I will rebuild the fifth regiment!" Today's Fifth Regiment is not only the strongest regiment under our command, but also the benchmark and model in the entire Zhejiang army, if we want to make a difference in Zhejiang, we must rebuild the Fifth Regiment, unless they die! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Shizheng was awe-inspiring in his heart, he didn't expect Wu Mingtuan's position in Yu Jishi's mind to be so important, before he thought that Yu Jishi's statement in the face of all the generals and schools just wanted to show his determination to rescue Wu Mingtuan, the purpose was to urge Wu Qiwei and his generals to provide the greatest support, but now it seems that Yu Jishi is serious, forcing Chen Shizheng to think: In case Wu Ming comes back, how to adjust the relationship between them?

After tossing for half a night, the officers and soldiers of the two regiments were assembled, and under the leadership of their respective commanders, they were divided into four columns and returned to the city.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of gunfire from the direction of the pass, and Yu Jishi, who thought that the Red Army was rushing down the mountain in pursuit, hurriedly ordered all of them to disperse and defend in place, and nearly 3,000 officers and men of the four columns rushed to the east and west for nearly ten minutes before forming a defensive line amid the bitter scolding of their respective commanders.

The two war horses galloped from the rear, shouting loudly at a distance of 100 meters, and the elite of the guard battalion on the horse rushed to Yu Jishi and flew down in front of him, and excitedly announced loudly: "Division, Commander Wu, they have successfully broken through, just under the cliff in the west, and they will soon be able to drive over and join us!" ”

"What? What did you say? ”

Yu Jishi jumped off the horse and stepped forward to grab the hand of the guard: "Say it again!" ”

"Commander Wu has successfully broken through! They came down from the cliff to the west, and their subordinates didn't know what to do, but they saw the contact brothers of their spy company...... The two brothers said that most of the officers and men of the Fifth Regiment had successfully slid down the cliff, but that the place was too close to the eastern pass to get up quickly, and asked us to wait for them, in case the enemy at the pass would be angry and give up his life in pursuit. ”

The guards barely gasped for a long time.

Yu Jishi was overjoyed, and walked to the open space and ordered loudly: "All regiments will not move in place, and be on strict alert!" The guard battalion took all the machine guns, got on their horses, rushed to the eastern pass, and launched another feint! ”

Wu Ming and seven officers and guards on the cliff were lying on the edge of the cold cliff, and the Red Army at the pass where the enemy was discovering the situation was quickly rushing over the rocks at high speed, and two other machine guns were mounted on the huge rock more than 300 meters away to the north, constantly firing at the hiding place of Wu Ming and others.

Fortunately, at this time, the team was safe, and Wu Ming did not have a sense of despair.

Seeing that the shadows of more than a dozen vigorous Red Army soldiers were getting closer and closer, Wu Ming could no longer care about the danger of being hit, and decisively gave the order to slide down, and after shouting, he reached out and grabbed the nearest rope, kicked his feet hard, and his whole body flew up diagonally and fell quickly.

Wu Ming let go of his hand and grabbed it again, and slid down five meters with a "whew", and his body swayed around on the stone wall like an ape, and then quickly controlled his balance, and under the illumination of a flashlight below, he continuously stepped on the stone wall, and landed safely with several ups and downs.

In less than half a minute, the other six brothers came down one after another, and everyone threw away the ropes, desperately fled southward, and just ran through a rocky hill into the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, and a dense rain of bullets came one after another, hitting the grass and trees behind the seven people.

Lu Kuiyuan, who responded, rushed over, picked up Wu Ming, who was lying on the ground and gasped for breath, a few ups and downs jumped into the depths of the dense forest, turned on the flashlight and quickly irradiated Wu Ming's whole body, and found that Wu Ming's trembling palms were already bloody and blurry, and immediately untied the first aid kit, took out a triangular scarf and bandaged it quickly, while doing it, while complaining that Wu Ming should not be left behind, if there are three long and two short, how can he face Mao Liangwu's father and fellow villagers and the three thousand brothers in the army? Don't you want him Lu Kuiyuan to accompany him to die?

Wu Ming just grinned and asked the company commanders who came one after another, and learned that all the brothers were safe and sound, Wu Ming was very happy, and instructed Lei Peng, who was in charge of liaison: "The Red Army does not dare to come down, so there is no need to send people to cut off the rear, you go to see the division seat immediately, and say that I will report to him immediately......

"Brothers, the regimental staff officer, the battalion commander, and the deputy battalion commander gathered outside the woods and went to see the division seat together, and it is our ability to escape, which shows that our usual hard training is correct and worthy of our pride!"

All the brothers immediately puffed up their chests, saluted Wu Mingqi rarely, turned around and returned to the various departments to give orders.

Several torches were lit on the vertical cliff more than 30 meters high and nearly 100 meters wide, and more than 100 Red Army soldiers looked incredulously at the more than 30 ropes pulled up, the expansion nails used to connect the ropes nailed in the crevices of the rocks, all kinds of strange fasteners, and the buckles that were left on the ground, and seemed to be attracted by these strange things.

The deputy commander of the 42nd Regiment, who arrived at the last time, strode to the edge of the cliff, took a black string handed by the soldier and pulled it a few times, then took two stainless steel fasteners and pinched them, and unexpectedly opened the spring buckle on the side edge of one of the fasteners.

The deputy head of the regiment, who was over 30 years old, slowly turned his gaze to the bottom of the black cliff, and finally stopped at the light thousands of kilometers away, and said a sentence that the surrounding soldiers could not forget:

"This enemy is definitely the elite of the Kuomintang army, most of these things are advanced equipment imported from abroad, more than 1,000 of them slid down from this cliff with a rope without landing, it is very remarkable, looking at the whole ** team, including our Red Army, no unit can do ......"

"Although it is reluctant to let them escape, this army is so strong that who would have thought that they would escape from the most dangerous and impossible direction? The skills are not as good as others, I am convinced! ”
