Chapter 80: The Greatest Power in the World

readx;

Li Yuda is a real winner, and it is said that he should put off the fire. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but who knows, Lan Xiangyu was abducted and eloped by the little son of the mayor's family.

This is a normal reaction: beautiful women love pretty!

Li Yuda's five big and three coarse, the absolute old and coarse, and he has been leading troops to fight for a long time, even if there is a hometown to accommodate this little wife, it is destined to let Lan Xiangyu stay alone in the empty house. On the other hand, the little son of the mayor's family is a man of culture, a leading local family, don't look at it now as an elopement - it is still a rich and chic elopement, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is traveling. But as long as this foreign regiment is withdrawn, her good days will come. It is clear which is more important at a glance.

For Li Yuda, this is a great shame: the invitations were sent out, the banquet was set, but the bride eloped with someone. How can a dignified captain and the commander of a battalion endure such humiliation and swallow this mouthful.

So, Li Yuda immediately took the main force of the battalion to the mayor's house, leaving only one company in Niulanba. But it's a pity that a good feast is thrown away -- it's rare for a soldier to eat a good feast. As soon as Li Yuda led the people to leave, the company immediately started eating, which is why Zhang Qingshan and the others saw the enemy on the opposite side holding a feast and eating and drinking when they arrived here.

(Treating the military as the foundation of one's own life is itself the foundation of warlordism.) It is indeed strange to treat war as child's play and abandon it for personal gain, but at the time, it was a normal thing. )

For such anecdotes, everyone endured more than laughter, but it was not easy to laugh out loud, and everyone endured very hard. On the contrary, it was Niu Xiaohua, a female general, who vigorously said "Hey!hey!"

Hu Yingze couldn't help but widen his eyes around him, and deliberately joked seriously: "Comrades, you must try your best to capture this Li Yuda alive, I want to see for myself how miserable this tragic protagonist is, so that the wife who grabbed it can't help but elope with someone." ”

Everyone squatted on the ground and shook their shoulders vigorously, barely holding back laughter.

After a short while, Niu Yingwu held back a smile and said, "We have received an order from our superiors to fully cooperate with the main force and obey unconditionally. To this end, we have also made some arrangements. ”

It has to be said that with the support of the locals, the assault company had an unexpected surprise: In order to cooperate with the main force of the Red Army to successfully cross the river, the guerrillas in Niulan Town had a total of 47 comrades, and this time they all went out early, and all their belongings were taken out. The most important thing is that the guerrillas in Niulan Town were five or six miles downstream from here, in a place called Dao Cutting Cliff, and prepared for the assault company to cross the river. Their instructor, Comrade Luo Dachun, personally led 10 comrades to garrison the top of the hill across the river last night to provide a safety guarantee for the assault company to cross the river.

"Didn't the enemy send people to patrol along the river?" The time could not be delayed, and everyone set off immediately, but Zhang Qingshan still had some doubts in his heart, so he followed Niu Yingwu all the way, asking as he went.

Every morning, the enemy would send a squad to patrol up and down the river. Niu Yingwu took a sip of water, wiped his mouth, and said confidently as he strode along the trail: "But the enemy patrolling downstream on the other side of the river will not care about the situation of cutting the cliff at all. ”

After a little hesitation, he added, "Even if they go up to the knife cliff, they will not go to the edge of the cliff to check the situation, at most they will take a detour along the path. ”

"Why?"

"These soldiers are good at bullying the common people, but how can they have the determination to endure that hardship...... I can't tell you the specifics for a while, but when you get to the place, you'll know at a glance. ”

At this point, Zhang Qingshan is not easy to ask.

The assault company marched all the way, and when it came to the opposite side of the river at the knife cliff, it was already dark.

In order to meet the main force, the comrades of the guerrillas in Niulan Town made great efforts, made very adequate preparations, and considered them very thoroughly: In advance, they not only hid five small windsurfing boats and one large boat in the forest more than 20 meters away from the river bank, but also deliberately considered that the assault company had come from afar and it would be inconvenient to eat, so they deliberately boiled water with charcoal early for cooking.

Taking advantage of the time to eat, Zhang Qingshan and others took the bowl and came to the forest to observe the surrounding terrain while eating.

Even though the night was shrouded and the river surface was hazy, it looked a little cold under the light of the cold moon, but the geographical environment on the other side still surprised everyone. Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but glance at Niu Yingwu, and thought to himself: No wonder you said that it was clear at a glance when you came here, feelings, and the terrain on the other side of the bank was really reassuring.

The terrain on the opposite bank is simple: as far as the eye can see, it is white and covered with steep cliffs. The highest place is seventy or eighty meters, and the lowest place is thirty or forty meters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the place we want to climb is there, about fifty meters high...... The comrades had already surveyed the place, and it looked steep, but in fact there were many raised stones in the middle, and the cliffs here were relatively dry and easy to climb. Moreover, Lao Luo led people to prepare five thick ropes on the opposite side, which was enough to ensure everyone's safety when climbing. Niu Yingwu pointed with chopsticks to a place forty or fifty meters downstream on the opposite bank.

"Old Niu, I don't know anything about the situation in the water, but I have a doubt in my heart, ask it, you are not allowed to laugh at me. "Hu Yingze is worthy of being a political work cadre, with a powerful mouth, and he is very familiar with Niu Yingwu all the way, and even the title has changed from Comrade Niu Yingwu to Lao Niu.

"Lao Hu, no one is perfect, and no one can know everything. Besides, everyone is a revolutionary comrade, and if there is anything that is difficult to say to your own people, you can just say it. ”

Zhang Qingshan secretly looked at Peng Peng: This Niu Yingwu didn't seem to talk much along the way, and thought he was an introvert, but he didn't expect that when talking to acquaintances, there were so many words, and he understood the other party so much. It seems that this is also Lao Hu's ability.

"Why don't you row the boat straight to the other shore and have to go downstream?"

"It takes a lot of effort to row on this river, and you can only use the power of the current to row through it by drifting along the current, so you can only set the place where you put the rope downstream on the opposite bank. Speaking of this, Niu Yingwu thought of something, and said: "By the way, when the brothers row the boat over, when they row back, everyone has to wait a hundred meters below, and when the time comes, we have to trouble everyone to help, be a slender man, pull the boat here as soon as possible, and then we can send people over again." ”

"No wonder my teacher used to say that the power of the people is the greatest power in the world, that it is endless...... Thank you so much, without your support, we would be in big trouble. ”

Zhang Qingshan rolled his eyes at Hu Yingze: I have heard you muttering more than once after drinking, you kid often skips class when he is studying, so your teacher almost ignores you, he will tell you a bastard boy that the greatest power in the world is the power of the common people?

"Everyone is a revolutionary comrade, and this is what should be done. ”

Zhang Qingshan considered it from a military point of view, held his chopsticks, pointed to the top of the mountain on the opposite bank and asked: "Comrade Yingwu, you said earlier that even if the enemy's patrol reaches the top of the mountain on the opposite bank, it will not be willing to go to the edge to inspect and patrol...... Now can we tell us why?"

"For one, the enemy's forces are small enough to control the entire line of defense along the river. Second, the terrain was so steep that the enemy thought we could not climb it, so they were paralyzed, but they didn't know that we could put ropes down from it. Three, the most important thing is that the top of the mountain on the opposite bank is full of thorn forests. The enemy can endure this hardship, and even if they are asked to cut thorns and check on the side, they will only do a perfunctory thing......"

Niu Xiaohua on the side took over the topic with a smile: "Our locals hate the enemy for harming the people, and we are unwilling to be guides for them. On the top of the hill on the opposite bank, there are not only many thorns, but also many places have traps and big pits for catching wild beasts, and some places look safe, but in fact the bottom is empty, and you can definitely fall directly into the river when you step on it. If you don't have a local who is familiar with this place, you can definitely kill people every step of the way. When the enemy first arrived, he really wanted to cut down the thorn forest, but one of the unlucky ghosts accidentally stepped on the empty leaves, fell and fell to his death. Since then, the enemy has not patrolled the edges...... We fought guerrilla attacks a few times, and it was by relying on this thorn forest that we escaped the pursuit of the enemy. ”

Zhang Qingshan nodded, because he knew that this situation was just like what his father instructed when he was a child: in the deep mountains and old forests, not only had to deal with the means of nature such as wild beasts and muddy pools (swamps), but also had to deal with traps set by other hunters. Some of them will leave marks next to traps to remind humans, but some of them will be placed there directly, so that you can't guard against them. Therefore, if there is no hunter to lead, ordinary people enter the deep mountains and old forests, it is really more auspicious. It's a bit like this, and it's no wonder they're so confident.

Next, the people began to discuss how to cross the river: the river was stable here, but the windsurfing boats were too small, and for the sake of safety, each windsurfing boat could only seat three people except for the oarsmen. And that big ship can have a great effect, it can carry 15 to 20 people at a time, and there is no worry about the river waves capsizing, so that 30 to 35 people can be transported at a time, counting the more than 30 people of the guerrillas here, a total of only five trips is about the same.

But the question is, who was the first to cross the river?

Everyone knows that the later you go, the safer it is, and the sooner you go, the more dangerous it is, because no one can guarantee that if the enemy's head hits the wall, he will have to go to the edge of the cliff to investigate, and then, once there is a battle, the gunfire will definitely alarm more enemies to come, and those who pass earlier will be dangerous.

But at this time, the soldiers ignored the danger, and the platoon commanders asked for battle, clamoring to go first. On the other side, there must be a seat with ideas, and for this reason, even the three main leaders of the assault company had a dispute with each other, and they had to bring someone over first.

It was finally decided: Peng Peng and Niu Yingwu took Qi Zixuan's three platoons to go first, Zhang Qingshan second, and Hu Yingze and the remaining comrades of the guerrillas crossed the river last.

After eating and drinking, the comrades of the third platoon got on the boat and rowed to the opposite shore.

Sure enough, as Niu Yingwu said, no matter whether it is a big ship or a small boat, it is slowly approaching the bottom of the knife cliff along the current in an arc.

As the ship got closer and closer, everyone's hearts lifted up, whether it was on board or on shore......
