"Have you remembered the agreed code?"

"Remember!"

"And, I repeat, no matter what the circumstances, you can only go ten miles at most...... Once the enemy is discovered, everyone should try to hide as much as possible, and do not 'exchange' fire with the enemy unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if you are forced to 'exchange' fire with the enemy, it is better for you to retreat to this side, of course, it can also be determined according to the situation at the time......"

Zhang Qingshan looked at the mountains in the distance, and then looked at the thirteen warriors, and was more or less worried in his heart. However, when he heard Liu Bing giving them a speech and reminding them of all kinds of matters to pay attention to, Zhang Qingshan wanted to laugh in his heart: Old Liu! These soldiers are all carefully selected by the 'fine', and to put it mildly, I am afraid that their experience on the battlefield is no worse than yours.

However, Zhang Qingshan also understood that the main reason why Liu Bing was so verbose was because he knew too well the heavy responsibility on the shoulders of these thirteen people: these three people were going to explore the way, and their dangerous 'nature' was self-evident. To put it lightly, they are risking their lives to explore the way, and the key point they say, their success or failure is related to the safety of more than 100 people in the company.

At breakfast today, the three company commanders had a brief but important meeting, and the content of the discussion was to analyze whether there was an enemy under the mountain.

If there is an enemy, then it can be analyzed: the main forces must have attracted the attention of the enemy.

The enemy is not stupid, since he wants to defend and block, he will naturally deploy a small number of troops on the edge of this water and grassland, and the purpose is naturally to deal with Zhang Qingshan and the stragglers formed because they fell behind. And Zhang Qingshan, whether it is physical strength, 'essence' strength or equipment, is in the worst state at this time, and if they really want to fight the enemy, the probability of victory is far less than the possibility of being ambushed Since the enemy has deployed troops, there will definitely be an encirclement waiting for Zhang Qingshan and them to drill, at least, everyone agrees that if they were the enemy's commanders, they would do this: let Zhang Qingshan and them in a little bit, and then take advantage of Zhang Qingshan's unheard foothold on the edge of the water meadow, and suddenly launch an attack, which will definitely make Zhang Qingshan, who is in a dilemma, at least half of them suffer casualties, and even the whole army will be wiped out.

This is the worst-case scenario that everyone has analyzed. And they felt that there were still two situations that they hoped for: one was that the enemy had been driven away by the Central Red Army, and everyone went to meet their comrades safe and sound. The probability of this situation is much smaller than the previous one, but everyone thinks that it is possible, but because they are only a team composed of those who have straggled, and they estimate that there are many teams like them, so even if there are people from the Central Red Army who come, it is estimated that they will focus on taking care of the main force of the Red Second Front Army, and for scattered people like them, especially those who have slightly deviated from the general direction of the main force, it is estimated that they will not be able to take care of them.

There is another situation that has the least chance of happening, but it is what everyone wants to see the most, and that is that comrades come to greet them. However, even the most optimistic Peng Peng felt that this situation was almost impossible to happen, or that sentence, he couldn't take care of it!

There is no radio station, no liaison, Zhang Qingshan and the more than 100 people are like blind people walking, their eyes 'touching' the dark, and they can only take one step at a time.

Similarly, whether it is the Central Red Army or the main force of the Red Second Front Army, they do not know about Zhang Qingshan's existence, after all, there are too many people who have fallen behind in the water and grassland, and there is no channel for the 'exchange' of information...... To put it mildly, those who fall behind are almost always considered sacrifices. After all, there are very few people who can get out of the water and grassland after falling behind.

That's the bad thing about information blockage.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Qingshan and the others could only send a small force of 'elite' forces to investigate, so the situation detected by these thirteen people determined the safety of the whole company.

At the same time, it is very likely that these thirteen people will face another situation, that is, the enemy intends to expand the encirclement, and then, intentionally, let these thirteen people go, waiting for the whole company to take the bait. After all, there is no fool who can command and deploy the encirclement, and naturally knows the truth of putting a small package into a big one. So, in this respect, these thirteen people are extremely safe.

Let's put it on one note: everyone is 'groping' the situation ahead, so they can only do their best to investigate under the mentality of gambling, so as to minimize possible losses.

Therefore, after discussion among the three of them, they unanimously decided to adopt the safest method: after visual inspection, they estimated that the distance from the mountain was only fifteen or sixteen miles, and the position was the best, and they had more than enough advance and retreat, and it was the best way to wait for the results of the reconnaissance in place. At the same time, it can also allow the fighters to rest and recover some strength. In this way, even if something happens, everyone can at least have some physical strength to deal with it.

"And ...... Forget it, no, anyway, you are all smart, just pay more attention. ”

After speaking, Liu Bing glanced at Zhang Qingshan and took a step back, obviously asking Zhang Qingshan to speak.

Zhang Qingshan's mood is very complicated: if it is not a last resort, he really does not want to send a security squad to take risks, after all, these people have all passed the test of the Long March, whether it is ideology or experience, they are the best, and they are all the spark of revolution, especially in this situation where it looks like they are about to walk out of the water and grassland victoriously, if something happens, even if they lose one, it is a huge regret.

Zhang Qingshan walked from left to right, looked at Xiang Tao, and saw Xiang Tao with his head raised and 'chest', his eyes were powerful, Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile and patted his shoulder.

Coming to the second place, Zhang Qingshan picked up his spear, pulled down the bolt, looked at it, and returned it to him with satisfaction...... Although he did this, it was quite a bit of a farewell to the death squad, but Zhang Qingshan still wanted to do it.

In this way, he walked over one by one, although he didn't say a word, but he used his own actions and silent 'communication' to tell everyone that he was very worried about their safety, and hoped that they could all come back alive, and at the same time, he was also silently passing on a message to everyone: the road ahead is unpredictable and dangerous.

"It's a great responsibility to go to investigate, but I hope that you can all come back to Lao Tzu after completing the task, I'm here and waiting for you...... It's all for Lao Tzu to remember, this is an order!"

"Please rest assured that the company commander and comrades are guaranteed to complete the task. ”

Xiang Tao stood up and shouted, and the other twelve soldiers also shouted: "Please rest assured that the company commander and comrades will complete the task." ”

Zhang Qingshan waved his hand and shouted: "Go!"

Watching the thirteen soldiers of the security squad stride away, Zhang Qingshan turned to those who came to see him off a few meters away and said, "Okay, everyone is gone, hurry up and rest." ”

The farewell is sad and ambitious, but the result is unexpected. Everything is just because of a detail that was overlooked by Zhang Qingshan and others: Zhang Qingshan and they can see the mountain, so how can the enemy not find them?

I have been prepared for a long time, and the enemy who has deployed a lookout post on the top of the mountain, not to mention using binoculars, even with the 'flesh' eye, can also find Zhang Qingshan and them, not to mention, because of the rain last night, Zhang Qingshan and them waited until it was already dark when the rain stopped, and then they began to make a fire to cook, which became more and more conspicuous in the dark.

If Zhang Qingshan and others follow the deployment, then the worst situation they analyzed will definitely not be avoided. Fortunately, God closed the big 'door' but left a window, and did not do things absolutely, the appearance of a person saved Zhang Qingshan and them, otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.

Let's turn the clock back to two minutes before it rained yesterday......

On the top of the mountain, there is an open space, on which two rows of houses have been improvized, although the houses are simple, but fifty or sixty meters to the south of the two rows of houses, that is, the highest point of the mountaintop, there is a very strong house made of wood the size of a bowl, which looks like a bridgehead...... There was a platoon stationed on the top of the hill, and the sturdy house was a lookout post.

Guan 'Yu' Min was lying on the wooden 'bed' in the lookout, his eyes closed, as if he were asleep, but his heart was very anxious: two days ago, he received news that another Red Army (the main force of the Red Second Front) had passed safely and smoothly from a hundred miles away.

He was very happy about this news, and he also felt that it was normal: the reason for his happiness was that he was a lost Red Army soldier who had followed Liu Zhidan a few years earlier, but later returned home due to injury, and was forced to wander around 'wandering' and inquire about the Red Army by the way. I finally found out, but on the way, he was wounded by horse bandits, and then he was arrested by the reactionaries.

So, while recuperating from his injuries, he served as a soldier in the local security regiment of the Kuomintang, and he was able to get by, but in his heart he paid close attention to the news of the revolutionary team led by Liu Zhidan.

Half a year ago, he finally met a comrade-in-arms of the year, and got in touch with the organization through him. Immediately, the party organization arranged for him to continue to work in lurk.

His positive 'sex' came.

Because of his combat experience, good marksmanship, and good argumentation, he was soon promoted to deputy platoon commander and squad leader.

And he felt that it was normal for the main force of the Red Second Front Army to pass normally because the Central Red Army had already opened up that area in order to meet the main force of the Red Second Front, and the security regiment he was in now was only the role of cannon fodder and was placed at the forefront.

At the same time, he was secretly praying that no comrades who had fallen behind would pass through him. Although only one platoon of troops was deployed on the top of Mount Wuxu where he was located, there was a security regiment around Mount Wuxu, and seven or eight miles behind Mount Wuxu, there was a regular regiment of Kuomintang reactionaries waiting there. If a comrade appears here, it will definitely be a sheep's mouth.

But the question is, what would you do if such a situation really happened?

After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind: if only one or two comrades appeared, it would be better for him to continue to lurk. It's not that they don't rescue, but they have no way to rescue themselves, or they won't wait for him to have time to rescue at all, and these comrades won't even have room to resist, so they will be shot to death by 'indiscriminately' shots, let alone give him time to rescue.

Having been a soldier here for so long, he really knew too well about the tricks of the Kuomintang, especially the local security regiments: as long as the Red Army was discovered, the regular army of the Kuomintang reactionaries might be left alive and killed after asking for news. But now the security group they are in, it's a different matter, they will definitely kill people as soon as possible in order to reward money, especially if the other party has a gun, and they are afraid of death and want to save their 'life' first, they will shoot from afar, even if they 'expose' to rescue, they can only add one more corpse...... Although this is cruel, it is a fact and a difficult choice.

If there are hundreds of people, then they must rescue themselves, and the key to other tasks is that as soon as the Red Army is outnumbered, it will have the ability to resist, and in this way, it will give him the time and opportunity he needs to rescue.

If you want to rescue, the best way is naturally to notify or warn in advance, so that comrades can stay away......

Just as he closed his eyes and pondered, suddenly!

"Squad leader, come and see, there seems to be someone over there. ”
