Seeing Zhao Tiemin leave with a red face, the brothers in the tent all laughed until they cramped, and when they heard Wu Ming shouting to gather, they all covered their stomachs and couldn't straighten their waists.

Zhang Dongning grinned and stepped forward to report, but before he finished speaking, he laughed again, making the surrounding brothers laugh, and Dai Ziran simply squatted down holding his stomach again.

Seeing Wu Ming's tense face, Zhang Dongning finally stopped laughing and reported loudly:

"After the first battalion and the machine gun company finished camouflage and set fire in all directions to the west, leaving a reconnaissance squad to shake around and feign the main force, the rest of the companies have quietly withdrawn, and at this time they have arrived at Baiguozhai; The two squads of the engineer company and the withdrawn spy company were still guarding the south of the village, and they would quietly leave after the second pile of smoke was released within ten minutes; Kui Yuan had already blown down two large trees, built a single-plank bridge on the east mountain, and sent four teams of soldiers to meet them along the way...... Counting up, the cannon company that set off first with disassembled equipment and six wounded had already gone up the mountain at this time. ”

Wu Ming nodded solemnly: "Pack up immediately, rush to Baiguo Village immediately, leave the tent, hang the horse lantern, don't go out!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Dongning turned around and returned to his tent, and the surrounding brothers immediately took action, and in less than five minutes, they were all dressed up and cleaned up, and followed Wu Ming, who was also fully armed, to quickly hide in the thick smoke in the east, and immediately turned on the flashlight after entering the smoke range, and the speed of travel accelerated.

On the mountainside on the east side of Baiguozhai, a platoon of officers and soldiers stepped on the steps made of logs and successfully climbed the first steep hill on the way to escape.

######

At 9:40 p.m., four kilometers south of Maopailing Village, the temporary headquarters of the Red Army's ** Fourth Division.

The clouds gradually dissipated, revealing a faint blue sky, and a crescent moon appeared and disappeared in the eastern sky, and the stars shining through the clouds became brighter.

The commanders and political officers of the ** Fourth Division, who had been restless since dinner, finally waited for Zhao Tiemin, who was sent to negotiate, and Zhao Tiemin, who was covered in sweat and mist in his head, coughed, and saw that the leaders were all around, and they didn't have time to take a breath, so they came through the whole process one by one.

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and Xie Weijun hurriedly asked, "Is that Wu Ming really unaware that the enemy of the southern city of Lu Dao is attacking the East Pass?" ”

Zhao Tiemin nodded: "Looking at his reaction, I really don't know how to do it...... If he is telling the truth, then he can no longer control his troops, oops! I don't even know what to say, the surname Wu is like a **, wilting, full of nonsense, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, where is it like a decisive soldier! ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to judge Lu Dao, even if you don't believe it, no one has seen Wu Ming with their own eyes like Zhao Tiemin.

Guo Tianming suddenly strode away, trotted to the high post behind the side, used his hands and feet at the same time, quickly climbed the slippery mountain, and in less than ten minutes, he climbed to the top of the hill more than 70 meters high, ignoring the cold wind blowing in his face, took out his binoculars and carefully observed the Maopailing Village shrouded in smoke and fire.

A few minutes later, Guo Tianming suddenly fell to the edge of the cliff and shouted to the people looking up at the bottom of the mountain: "The enemy is cheating!" The smoke is gone, the smoke is gone, there's nothing to do in the village, gather your team and get in, quick-"

There was a sudden chaos at the foot of the mountain, several regiment commanders and regimental deputies had already rushed back to their camp, Xie Weijun turned around a few times, raised his head and shouted anxiously:

"Lao Guo, be careful! Don't worry, take your time! ”

Guo Tianming shouted while climbing down: "Lao Xie, believe me, immediately hit the signal flare, hit the signal flare!" ”

Xie Weijun gritted his teeth, ran to the combat staff officer in the back, took out the flare gun on his waist, and gave orders while fiddling.

In less than a minute, two orange flares shot into the sky, instantly lighting up the night sky.

The Red Army, which was lying in ambush in all directions, immediately assembled when they saw the signal flares, and the officers and men, who had long been holding their breath, rushed to the enemy position with indomitable spirit.

At the west entrance of Maopailing Village, the four machine gunners who rushed to the front pulled the trigger at a distance of 80 meters, and the dense rain of bullets caused the defenders on the position to fall one after another, and the 100 officers and men who followed them struggled forward and threw a grenade at a distance of 40 meters.

The vanguard of the fortified attackers who were crawling on the ground did not wait for the flying mud and rocks to fall, they got up and shouted in unison and rushed to the enemy position, the roar of "surrender the gun and not kill" echoed in the mountains, but the entire front and back of the position were searched, and not a single enemy was found, and dozens of scarecrows wearing gray military cotton jackets and military caps fell in the trenches, several of which were still burning.

The same situation appeared in the defender's position in the south of the village, and Guo Tianming, who was extremely shocked, urgently ordered his troops to kill in the village.

The main force of the main regiment attacking the village from the east pass was even more troublesome, and the 1,500 men and horses were blocked three kilometers east of the village, and the officers and men finally crossed it carefully, but found that the field between the two mountains in front of them had become a vast ocean, not only could not see the original road, but even the original location of the river channel could not be clarified, and at this time it was night, if you detoured and climbed the hill on the south side, you must first cut down the dense thorns to open a road, and you could not do it at all without half a day. The annoyed commander of the 41st Regiment scolded Wang Yang, but no matter how he scolded, he could no longer go over and besiege the enemy in a short time.

In the south of Maopailing Village, the two regiments of the Red Army, which had successfully blasted the mine array, roared and slaughtered the village, occupied the east of the village in the blink of an eye, and immediately searched in depth.

Guo Tianming, the division commander and Xie Weijun, the political commissar who were chasing after them, passed the officers and soldiers who were searching everywhere, and soon came to the familiar tent, and when they heard the report that no enemy had been found in the village, Guo Tianming and Xie Weijun almost fainted and fell to the ground.

Ten minutes later, Xie Weijun came to the old village chief's house with two political officers, and before he had time to visit the two wounded soldiers, he asked, "Uncle Zhou, where is the enemy?" Where is the enemy? ”

The old village chief shook his head helplessly: "No one dares to open the door!" There was smoke and fire everywhere outside, and the villagers were afraid of being injured by cold guns, so no one dared to go out to see it! It wasn't until I heard gunshots and explosions in all directions in the south of the village that I knew that you had come back, but if you didn't come to the door, I wouldn't even dare to open the door! ”

"Report to the political commissar, the eldest lady at the east end of the village said that the enemy has run away from the north, and the division commander has led the second regiment and the first regiment to pursue." A herald ran into the room and reported loudly.

Xie Weijun was stunned: "Where is the road in the north?" Did he abscond northwest along the foot of the mountain? But the only passage has been blown up by themselves! Isn't this self-defeating? ”

The herald didn't know what Lu Dao said, so he had to bow his head and stand aside.

Xie Weijun turned to the old village chief: "Old Uncle Zhou, are there any other trails in the north, and those who can walk goats are counted." ”

The old village chief shook his head: "To the north is the chair mountain, a two-mile-long cliff, and there is a path on the cliff, but the cliff is more than ten zhang high and even difficult for monkeys to climb up!" ”

"Could it be that the enemy has to put his back against the cliff and resist stubbornly?" The political officer on the side hurriedly raised this possibility.

Xie Weijun shook his head: "The north of the village is a hundred meters wide, there is no depth, the enemy will not be so stupid that there is no common sense at all, let's go, let's take a look!" ”

After tossing for more than half an hour, Guo Tianming, who led the team back angrily, scolded when he saw Xie Weijun: "What a, the fifth child in the east of the village actually lied to us, where is there half a figure in the north?" ”

Xie Weijun was taken aback, and quickly remembered that Wu Mingtuan's military doctor treated the old lady, and said with a wry smile: "It's a shame this time, don't say anything, order all regiments to expand the search area, let's have a meeting." ”

On the East Mountain Ridge, Wu Ming, who walked in the back of the mountain, stood on a high cliff, staring at the familiar village with torches three kilometers away from the northwest for a long time, and did not have the joy of escaping in his heart, but felt a little lost and heavy.

The sound of gunfire in the direction of the East Pass came again, and Zhang Dongning reminded Wu Ming that this was already the last feint attack of the friendly forces, and it was necessary to seize the time to climb over the mountain beam, take advantage of the chaos to slide down the cliff south of the East Pass, and only take a breath at the foot of the mountain.

Wu Ming nodded, glanced at the mountain village that might not come again in this life, turned around silently, and strode after the brothers in front of him.
