"Xiao Li, is this big road from Wujialing to the county seat of Fengming County easy to walk?"

"Good to go. Xiao Li opened his mouth and replied: "In order to maintain the mobility between the two sides, the Qi family has spent a lot of effort to repair this road, and it is now very flat. It's just that there are a few sharp turns in the middle, just pay attention to it. ”

"So, do you know anything about the moon viewing platform and its surroundings?"

"Understood. From the main road up the hill to the viewing platform, it takes about 25 minutes to walk. The mountain is densely wooded and there is only one stone path to walk, but after descending from the other side of the viewing platform, there are three paths that can be said to lead in all directions. As long as we tie up a person and don't get bitten in the first place, it's easy to get out. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan laughed.

Liu Bing, who was beside him, was thinking about whether he had enough time, and was a little upset, seeing him smiling very happily, he couldn't help but reach out and touch Zhang Qingshan's forehead, and joked to the people around him: "Don't mind, Lao Zhang's head is sometimes very calm, sometimes he has a fever, and he is in a state of fever now." ”

"you. After Zhang Qingshan scolded him with a smile, he smiled at everyone: "I know what you are worried about? It is nothing more than worrying that although we have a large number of people, and we are fighting the other party for a surprise attack, but after all, the other party has more than 100 people, well-equipped, we want to capture those few people alive, but also want to win the other party, in this chaotic scene, it is not easy, so we need enough time." Right?"

No one laughed, but everyone nodded. Obviously, this is what everyone is most worried about. As for whether it can win against the other side, there is no need to say much at all: the assault company of more than 80 people is elite, and it is the best at such short-handed combat, and the first company of the Long March is also experienced in combat, plus it will not lag behind the opponent too much in weapons, plus four or five hundred good people from the two county brigades will help. Surprise attacks and short-handed encounters, even if the enemy has an advantage in weapons, it is difficult to give full play, and it is six or seven to one, which will not be able to win, and everyone will collectively jump into the river.

"So, if I say that I can buy you an hour or so, I wonder if you have the confidence to complete this mission?"

Some people who are anxious, straightforward and impulsive, their eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this, and those like Qi Zixuan, who were relatively calm, looked at Zhang Qingshan suspiciously.

"Lao Zhang, everyone knows that you are a lucky general, and you are known to be anxious...... Don't tease us. Tian Guozhong is the acting instructor in the end, he has some confidence, and he is also an old acquaintance with Zhang Qingshan, so he asked for everyone, of course, because he came from the Kuomintang anyway, so it is inevitable that he should speak tactfully, first of all, a sycophant, absolutely not wrong: "What good way have you thought of, come up with it." ”

"The method is very simple...... Zhang Qingshan looked at everyone with a smile, and waited until everyone's appetite was enough before continuing: "No matter how difficult it is, we have a big advantage, that is, there are many people." Therefore, when the time comes, as long as we go to the main road from which we are rescued on both sides, let alone get some tripping ropes, just arrange a platoon on each side, take the squad as a unit, and shoot their black guns on the side of the road, just this, it will definitely delay him for half an hour. What's more, if they were slaughtered in the middle of the road, they would have to guess by the sound of gunfire, haha......"

"That's right!" Liu Bing clenched his right hand into a fist, hit it on the palm of his left hand, and after shouting excitedly, he smiled: "Such a simple method, why didn't I think about it?"

Zhang Qingshan smiled "hehe", looking very proud.

Immediately, everyone voted unanimously on this plan by a show of hands, and then began a heated and exciting discussion on the supplement to this strategy...... On the contrary, those guides and Hu Zeguang inevitably muttered in their hearts: Why don't they care about the reputation of the Red Army at all? However, Zhao Wu is a rough man, and he thinks that this kind of work is very much in line with his appetite, so he does not think about anything else.

Although it is only fifteen days after tomorrow, the old lady of the Qi family wants to take people to burn incense and worship God, for Zhang Qingshan, there is plenty of time. However, Zhang Qingshan pondered carefully and discussed with everyone, only to find that the time was actually not so sufficient.

Just to avoid being discovered, it is necessary to go out day and night, and to step around the viewing platform, these two are enough to consume a lot of time.

Therefore, Zhang Qingshan immediately decided: discuss here first, and everyone will set off immediately.

Fortunately, Zhang Qingshan only killed five sheep in order to keep some sheep for local comrades, plus the two hundred catties of millet buns, so from now to the day after tomorrow, everyone can not only eat enough, but also eat well.

In terms of the plan, the county guerrilla brigades of the two counties helped each other, but it was difficult to really implement it: on the side of Luoshui County, the county guerrilla brigade only had about 200 people from the previous one, and it was too late to mobilize more manpower. And Fengming County didn't have time: their county brigade itself only had fifty or sixty people, and in order not to startle the snake and arouse the idea of the Qi family, Zhang Qingshan immediately made a decision and sent Xiao Zhang to pass the order: It's just these fifty or sixty people, there is no need to mobilize people, hurry over and meet. At the same time, he sent Xiao Li to set off first overnight to connect with the party member who had broken into the Qi family and had become a small head to get first-hand information, and asked to rush back to report before the early morning of the next day.

After a night of rapid marching, they finally came to the top of the dense mountain five or six miles opposite the viewing platform.

As a soldier, whether it is day and night or staying up late for two or three days, it is a common thing, especially before the battle, let alone - time does not seem to be your own, and the body is not your own, everything is to be able to win the battle.

But after all, fighting a war depends on the soldiers to execute and fight hard, so the physical strength of the soldiers must be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Therefore, Zhang Qingshan forced everyone to rest and added double posts.

But he and a few main cadres, while gnawing on the dry and somewhat throat-scratching millet buns, stood on the top of the mountain, with the help of the dense forest on the mountain, observed the surrounding terrain with binoculars, and then discussed with each other where to ambush, how to intercept, how to fight so as not to hurt the hostages - after all, if the hostages, especially the old lady of the Qi family, were blown to death, the Qi family would definitely jump over the wall in a hurry.

At the same time, Zhang Qingshan asked Hu Zeguang to personally take four comrades to disguise themselves as believers who went to the viewing platform to burn incense and worship God, and went to the viewing platform to step on the spot, and marked the situation on the mountain behind the viewing platform, especially the specific location of where the three trails led on the map - Zhao Wu wanted to go in person, but first, he was impulsive, and second, he didn't know how to draw a military map, so he had to let Xian.

People in the Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo areas, when eating steamed buns, like to accompany haggis soup, and now they can't make a fire, so as not to be exposed, so they can still settle on the water. But southerners like Zhang Qingshan, who eat dry and hard steamed buns, can only take a big mouthful of water and eat a little steamed bun little by little.

finally finished eating a piece of steamed bun, Zhang Qingshan really didn't want to eat it anymore - the key is that his stomach was full of water.

"I'm a southerner, I'm used to eating rice, I haven't eaten steamed buns a few times, it's really a little uncomfortable, especially a mouthful of water and a mouthful of steamed buns, only one steamed bun was eaten, but it was full of water......" waved everyone to form a circle, and after sitting on the ground, Zhang Qingshan pointed to the steamed bun in the middle of the burden, and said with a smile: "But you are used to eating it, you have to eat more." ”

"Captain Zhang, why didn't you say it earlier, and you ......" Zhao Wu hurriedly said as soon as he heard this: "Blame me for not expecting: southerners are used to eating soft rice, and the first time they eat this steamed bun, they will definitely not be used to it." However, I happened to have something else in store, and you must be used to eating it. Wait, I'll bring it to you. ”

Seeing that Zhao Wu was about to leave while standing up as he spoke, Zhang Qingshan hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Old Zhao, tell me first, what delicious food are you going to get?"

"Lamb cake with shallots!"

Although Zhang Qingshan didn't know what this fried onion and lamb cake was, what Zhao Wu could specially prepare would definitely be much more delicious than the millet steamed bun: How could this work? The contingent led by our leaders all paid attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, especially in life, and as a leader, he should take the lead, so how could he be specialized? Isn't that the same as the reactionary officers? No! Absolutely not.

But the problem is that I haven't been in contact with Lao Zhao for a long time, and the other party is a local comrade, so I have to pay more attention to ways and means when I speak, and I must not refuse bluntly......

Thinking so, Zhang Qingshan opened his mouth and asked, "What is the fried onion lamb cake?"

Obviously, Zhang Qingshan wanted to delay time, so that he could come up with an excuse to refuse the other party's specialization.

"It's just mutton mixed with soft millet and wild onions, and then fried in oil. It can be left for a few days without changing the taste, and it is soft and delicious to eat. ”

Looking at Zhao Wu's eyes full of light, and the occasional action of swallowing saliva in the Adam's apple, Zhang Qingshan knew that this kind of thing, I am afraid that Zhao Wu himself has not tried it for a long time, otherwise, it would not be a reflection of this. And this also reflects the hardships of the local comrades.

"Then why didn't you take it out earlier?"

"Because there are very few, only a few dozen, or when I brought people into the city, I specially asked a stall owner who fried this thing to make it for us temporarily, and then ordered two comrades to help there. That's it, two hours, to make these dozens of photos...... I just thought that when you leave, I will invite you to eat again, which can be regarded as one of the foods that our local comrades have given you to practice. ”

Zhang Qingshan immediately smiled and said, "Lao Zhao, you sit down first, I haven't finished what I said just now." ”

After Zhao Wu sat down a little reluctantly, Zhang Qingshan continued: "I just said that we southerners are indeed a little unaccustomed to eating this steamed bun for the first time, but the problem is, now that we are here and ready to develop here for a long time, then we must serve this steamed bun problem, so we not only have to eat, but also eat a lot, and strive to adapt to this way of eating as soon as possible, right?"

As he spoke, Zhang Qingshan smiled and picked up another steamed bun, put it in his mouth and took a big bite, and then chewed vigorously.

Xiang Tao on the side looked at it and hurriedly handed him the kettle, which relieved Zhang Qingshan's encirclement, otherwise, this bite would be enough to make Zhang Qingshan choke, and it would be a small loss of face......
