Lu Kuiyuan looked anxious: "Tuanzao, the sound of the explosion will alarm the enemy, don't you beat them?" If we hadn't accidentally discovered this hidden mountain road, we would have been killed or injured! ”

"Do you think I didn't think about it?"

Wu Ming glanced at Lu Kuiyuan: "Kuiyuan, everyone, why don't you think deeply?" Our opponents have only sent fifty men, and it is obvious that they are the spearhead of the raid, and there will definitely be a large force behind them...... If my analysis is correct, their purpose is to surprise Baiguozhai, even if this small force sneaks over the single-plank bridge to our heads, it will not immediately strike at us, and must wait until their main force touches the edge of the stockade before suddenly launching a fierce attack. ”

Everyone reacted immediately, and the brilliant Dai Ziran took out the map and took it to the middle of the crowd to open it: "In this case, all directions of our regiment's defense area will be under the sudden attack of the enemy, according to all the previous intelligence summaries and our repeated analysis, the enemy hidden in the mountains south of us will never be less than two regiments, or even more, so we must not think that it is just a team of fifty people in front of us, but should be considered holistically!" ”

Everyone nodded frequently, and their faces became solemn, some stared at the map and thought carefully, and some looked at Wu Ming who was staring at the map.

After a long time, Wu Ming raised his head and pointed to the south: "Our opponent must have also sent reconnaissance spearheads, maybe we will quietly touch the single-plank bridge to reconnoiter on the spot...... Xiao Dong, you immediately go and notify the blasting team, don't detonate after the installation is completed, and wait for the order. ”

"Yes!"

The young staff officer, who was only twenty-two years old, rushed away.

Wu Ming turned to Lu Kuiyuan: "Take your brothers up to ambush them, catch them alive, try not to make a big move, but you can't kill people." ”

Lu Kuiyuan grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, without saying a word, he turned to a squad of brothers who were waiting in the rear, raised his right hand and made several gestures in a row, and fifteen elite officers and soldiers wearing new pine green combat uniforms and multi-functional camouflage combat vests moved silently, following the company commander Lu Kuiyuan and speeding south.

Wu Ming, who was hidden under the cliff with his back against the rock, looked at his watch, and then looked up at the sun gradually turning west in the blue sky, and was just about to say a few words to Dai Ziran, who was holding a notebook and constantly recording by his side, when he heard a rush of footsteps from the south.

Wu Ming turned his head to look, only to see Lu Kuiyuan coming quickly behind him with six brothers carrying two captives. He looked at Dai Ziran and smiled, then stood up and strode towards the open space in front of him.

Lu Kuiyuan pointed to the two captives who were tied behind their backs and their mouths were stuffed with cloth balls and smiled: "This guy on the left is an acquaintance. ”

Wu Ming hurriedly stepped forward and motioned for the brothers to let go of the two captives who were struggling, but the six brothers simply threw the captives to the ground, and the hard rock hit the immobile body with a dull sound, and the two captives rolled on the ground in pain.

Wu Ming sighed, and waited for the familiar captive to stop rolling, before he stepped forward and squatted down to take out the cloth ball in his mouth, and helped him wipe the dirt and grass clippings off his face: "Zhou Dezhi, Brother Zhou, I didn't expect it to be you, it's too surprising." ”

The disgraced Zhou Dezhi raised his head suddenly, and after seeing Wu Ming's appearance clearly, he suddenly wilted: "Kill me, I won't answer you a word!" ”

Wu Ming motioned to the brothers to loosen the ties between the two, and when Zhou Dezhi and the two stood firm tremblingly, he said with a smile: "I didn't plan to ask you anything, let alone kill you, knowing that you still have forty or fifty brothers hiding by the Qingtan under the mountain col in the south, I don't want to attack you...... And I also know that in addition to your team, there are other troops approaching my defense area. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Ming stopped talking, carefully looked at the frightened look on the faces of Zhou Dezhi and another strong man, and saw that the faces of the two quickly changed to resentful expressions, Wu Ming smiled and pointed to the north:

"I'm going to blow up that single-plank bridge, so that you don't have to fight this place all the time, and everyone can save some snacks when the single-plank bridge is gone, even if you work hard to touch it, you can only go down the mountain along the only mountain road in the west to reach a place more than 300 meters in front of our fortifications......"

"In this way, not only will you not be able to attack us, but you will also be under our crossfire, Haluha! Remember what I just said, and now I'm going to take you to watch the blowing up of the single-plank bridge, and then let you go back so that you can tell your superiors what you have seen and heard. ”

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Zhou Dezhi and the two could only follow under the escort of Lu Kuiyuan and the six brothers, and soon came to the southern end of the single-plank bridge, which had cut down a large area of grass and trees and became very wide.

Lei Peng, the deputy company commander who was ordered to wait, only glanced at the two prisoners beside Wu Ming, and after getting Wu Ming's approval, he turned to the north and beckoned, and the four officers and soldiers who were waiting at the north end of the single-plank bridge quickly crossed the single-plank bridge and returned to the safe place in the south to squat down and watch.

Lei Peng and the leader of the blasting team checked the place of placement after the most relent, one pulled the line and the other returned to Wu Ming with the detonator, and quickly connected the wire head to reinforce it steadily.

Wu Ming nodded, raised his arm slightly and then put it down, the blasting team leader immediately pressed the detonator, and after a loud "boom", the two ends of the huge single-plank bridge flew up at the same time in the blazing firelight, and turned a direction above the deep stream, with a piece of moss powder and sawdust that was stirred up and fell into the deep stream, and the two ends of the swing in the fall hit the rocks and trees of the mountains on both sides from time to time, making a thunderous roar.

For a while, the heavens and the earth shook and the mountains echoed, and Zhou Dezhi, who had no face, intuitively roared in his ears and his whole body became weak, as if all his hopes were lost forever with the earth-shattering explosion.

######

This loud sound, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, not only shook the nearby Baiguo Village, but also frightened the people within a radius of five kilometers, including Maopailing Village, but fortunately, the officers and soldiers around the village did not show any panic and rushed around, and after the explosion, there was no continued sound of gunfire, and although the villagers were panicked, they were not chaotic.

The Red Army commandos hiding in the mountains and around Qingtan in the south were in chaos, and the sound of the explosion not only shocked Deng Tingqian, the commander of the regiment full of confidence, to turn pale, but also caused the more than 40 carefully selected commandos to subconsciously react violently, and in the blink of an eye, they all burrowed into the surrounding dense forest.

After the sound of the explosion completely disappeared, there was no fierce fighting that he feared, and Deng Tingqian, who was nervous, jumped out from behind the big tree on the edge of the pond, rushed up to the northern col in one breath, and raised his binoculars in the grass to observe nervously, and did not have time to catch up with the dozen officers and soldiers who fell beside him and pulled the bolts of their guns.

After ten minutes of observation, the political work officer of the division headquarters who was crawling beside Deng Tingqian slammed the ground in despair: "It's over, Platoon Commander Zhou, they are more than lucky!" ”

The commando captain who was prostrate on the other side with a big waist gritted his teeth and asked for battle: "Regiment commander, let me take a squad to take a look!" ”

"No! The enemy is dark and I am clear, and there is no movement in front of us, not even a single bird, it is obvious that the enemy's heavy troops are ambushed, and the road in front of us is full of outward bends on the edge of the cliff, and the enemy only needs to set up a machine gun to block our forward path, and no number of people are enough to be a target. Deng Tingqian, who calmed down, showed extraordinary shrewdness.

The short and thin political work officer didn't dare to take risks, and when he heard this, he immediately whispered to the commando leader: "Listen to orders!" Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

The commando leader was anxious: "What should I do then?" If you advance and don't advance, and if you don't retreat, how can you complete the tasks assigned by the division headquarters? If you can't take the single-plank bridge in front, how to fight the enemy who has the advantage of terrain and firepower at the bottom of the mountain? How to cooperate with the general work initiated by other regiments tomorrow morning? ”

"This ......"

After graduating from the Red Army Political School, he immediately joined the army in charge of cultural education, and after four years of service, he was only a 23-year-old political work officer who knew very little about military affairs and could not answer such a complicated question for a while.
