Before dawn, a soldier covered in mud staggered and fell near the sentry post, and then was picked up by the sentry and hurried into the Great North Village.

The regiment commander and political commissar, who were buttoning their clothes and lighting the oil lamp, saw the two soldiers helping them in, and their hearts sank to the bottom.

He was in the second company, and he ran like this overnight and came back to report the news, what happened?

The first words of the commissar were: "Get the hygienist first, bring a stretcher!"

The first words of the regiment commander were: "What is the situation?"

"Yesterday afternoon...... We are ...... twice in a row and nine rows...... Set in three ...... Golden Scar's Warehouse ......"

After a while, the regiment commander shouted: "A company urgently assembles, ready to go!"

The communicator of the second company, who had been carried on a stretcher and was about to be sent to the health team, suddenly added weakly: "Don't send me to the health team, the cave is not in Sanjiaji, I have to show you the way, so that I can follow after the rest meeting." In addition, if you can keep the cave, it is not enough for a company, there are too many things, a lot of things, and the whole group can't move it in one trip. ”

The regiment commander was stunned, and then shouted to the communicator: "Carry him up, and set off with the first company now." Notify all units of the regiment to assemble urgently in the playground, and I will lead the team. In addition, he went to Xinghua Village to inform the fourth company, and then chased after him. Hurry!"

Dabeizhuang immediately became noisy, and there was hurried footsteps everywhere in the darkness, and the supply office of the health team of the cooking class went to the playground to assemble, and Wu Yan led a company carrying a stretcher to call the name at the door of the dormitory, and immediately lined up.

......

At the same moment, a figure knocked on a door.

The lights came on, and then the door opened, and a figure in the room cautiously looked out of the dark door, but did not speak.

The outsider said, "I'll offer incense." Then the door opened, and the men came in, and the people of the house came out and ran to tell the news.

After a while, two figures left the Fallen Leaf Village and came to this house.

The man who had been waiting in the room saw someone enter the door, got up and arched his hand: "Master Li." ”

"Why are you here?" The person who entered the door was none other than Li Youde.

"I was entrusted by my shopkeeper to come and ask for support. ”

"Support?" Li Youde was momentarily surprised, then slowly walked to the table, sat upright, and then continued: "What support?"

The man didn't sit down anymore, stood on the side of the table and replied: "The Eighth Road wants to rob three warehouses and occupy the hole, and we have been fighting with them for an afternoon...... That's the case. Master Li, there is half of your share here, you have to do it at this time, otherwise the warehouse will not be able to keep it. ”

Unexpectedly, Li Youde was neither surprised nor anxious, there was no expression on his face, he just listened to the story in silence.

It turned out that in the matter of the three families, Jin Scara and Li Youde were partners, each with half of the shares, the land was Jin Scar's, and the safety and operation were all in charge of Jin Scar, and the entry and exit of goods were secretly dredged by Li Youde.

After a while, Li Youde suddenly asked, "How many are there in Balu?"

"I guess it...... More than a hundred, right?"

"What about you?"

"The number is thousand, and the real is six hundred. ”

"Can't beat the eight ways?"

"After the flood, I couldn't pass through the cave, so I could only watch the Eighth Road waiting for reinforcements on the opposite side. Besides, these people have only recently joined the gang, and they are not of the same mind at all. "The man is real, and in the face of Li Youde, the major shareholder who looks serious, he didn't hide it.

"Hmm. Nodding his head, Li Youde stood up, walked a few steps with his head down with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stood still: "You know, it is said that my identity is inconvenient to show up, but this warehouse has half of me, and I can't hide anymore." Alas, go back and tell your shopkeeper, I, Li, am duty-bound, and reinforcements will arrive!"

The man excitedly bowed his hand and left.

The dumb man watched the figure disappear into the darkness, closed the door again and went back to the house, looking at Li Youde blankly.

Noticing the mute's strange expression, Li Youde smiled at him: "Do you think I really can't bear that half-warehouse thing? No, it's his golden scar that is reluctant." Without the warehouse, I just lost a piece ......of meat, but he is bankrupt, who can do with him without food and money? Whether the warehouse was robbed or burned down, it just couldn't stay. Hehe, half a warehouse for five or six hundred guns, do you think I lost or earned?"

A message was delivered to the barracks, which was being built, and three companies of puppet troops hurriedly formed in the pre-dawn darkness and prepared to leave. Among them, there is a company directly adapted from the Li family militia, a company regrouped from scattered defeated soldiers, and a company of recruits recruited by the company.

After the Hekou Battalion was terminated by the Eighth Road, Li Youde immediately took the initiative to ask the Imperial Army to set up a new local security force based on the Li family militia, and Chairman Li became the commander of the Li Battalion.

Born in troubled times, money is not as good as guns.

......

It's pitch dark, but I'm sure it's almost dawn, and it may light up a little later than usual because of the clouds.

Staring at the dark other side of the river, Gao Yidao asked beside him: "Are you sure it's all ready?"

Kuaileg replied in a low voice: "The first row is on the left, and the second row is on the right, which are responsible for suppressing the foot of the mountain on both sides of the high ground." The stones were piled up, and as soon as there was any movement on the high ground, the three rows immediately began to fill in. ”

Then he asked, "Are you sure the nine rows have ropes in their hands?"

Again: "I'm sure." The mule has a rope, and he can see it whenever he goes out on a mission, and it is impossible to be an exception. ”

Gao Yidao stopped talking, just waited quietly in the dark, waiting for the dawn.

......

Two hundred meters away on the side of the small plateau, Hu Yi used a few pieces of muddy clothes from the corpses to cover up a little space, and Li Xiang and the little girl pressed the corners of their clothes outside to help cover it. Turn on the flashlight to light the dial to see the time, and the sky will light up at any time.

Turn off the flashlight, tear off the clothes covering your head, and whisper, "Notify everyone to gather." ”

After whispering to each other, the corpses sat up one by one and gradually gathered together.

"The wounded who could not fight are now evacuated to safe areas. ”

Several figures, though unwilling, slowly left the place, pulling each other away into the darkness in the opposite direction, leaving seventeen or eighteen people in place.

"In a single column, Ma Liang was at the end of the line, I was in front, the mule was the second with machine guns, and the next order was in the order of the ninth squad, the third squad, the second squad, and the first squad. One by one, always keep an eye on the people in front, lie down in front of all lie down, get up in front of all get up, never fall behind, let alone leave the team. Except for the front and rear lines, any target on both sides is an enemy, understand?"

The surrounding figures nodded at the same time.

"Prepare your weapons. ”

There was a slight noise, the rifle was leaning behind him, the bayonet was in the sheath, and the grenade was hanging up. More than a dozen people were all armed with shell guns, the first and ninth classes were already there, the second and third classes had already collected a lot of corpses, and now they were both long and short.

"Who's in trouble?"

There was no sound around.

"The ground is slippery, so take the gun and avoid misfire. Let's go. ”

Hu Yi got up with the shell gun, and Luo Fugui quickly stood up as well, following with a machine gun. One by one, the figures in the darkness took the initiative to connect with the people in front of them, forming a slow-moving winding snake, carefully moving towards the target high ground.

Cautiously marching in the mud to the side of the hill not far from the foot of the hill, in front of me you could already hear muttering, snoring, walking in the muddy water, but nothing could be seen.

The hearts of the warriors gradually rose, and as the team moved, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

There was a snap, and someone in the line slipped. Hu Yi in front of his head stopped suddenly, so the team stopped in turn, all the muzzles of the short guns were raised at the same time, or left or right obliquely pointed to the side of the front, and all the hearts jumped to their throats.

A panicked shout came from the front, accompanied by the sound of a bolt: "Which one?"

Hu Yi pointed his gun in the direction of the sound and said loudly: "What a fool! Lao Tzu has gone on patrol." Then he held the gun and continued to walk towards the darkness ahead, Luo Fugui had no choice but to follow, and his arm was sore and he didn't dare to put down the machine gun.

"Patrol? Can the patrol come from over there? Fuck you guys are really crazy about money, you can't wait for dawn?" "In any case, I can't imagine that such a little bit of people will be stupid enough to run back again, there are the most corpses over there, and the mountain bandits who are on guard don't even think about directly treating these people as those who go to make money from the dead.

"Lao Tzu just led people to patrol, just went around in a circle by the way, it's your business, get out of the way!" Hu Yi immediately dispelled the idea of crossfire, and decided to move sideways instead, avoiding directly facing the interrogator. So the team followed him in a little direction and walked diagonally.

In this way, he walked past the bandits stationed at the foot of the mountain here, and the shadows were more than a dozen figures, but they didn't care, and they began to go uphill.

But Ma Liang, who was walking last, did not continue to keep up with the team, but turned around and disappeared.

At the foot of the mountain, there was no doubt on the periphery, how could the people on the high ground be vigilant, no one cared about what was going on with these dozen or so poor guys, and the disorganization and undiscipline that was different from the army were vividly carried forward by these mountain bandits.

There is already a slight light in the distance to the east, not only Hu Yi, but everyone in the ninth row did not expect to be able to go to the high ground like this, and the script set is to use the darkness before dawn to create chaos and assault the mountain, but now the world is not peaceful with a single shot, and Shengsheng walked into the bandit pile, what should I do?

Hu Yi was also a little dazed, it seemed that the way of fighting had to be changed, and he led the team to the trench position dug by the ninth platoon, and the trench was safe first.

When the trench approached, he was speechless again, and the trench did not need to be fought, because there was no figure inside. The reason is that there is stagnant water in the trenches, and now that it is dark and there is no fighting, how can any bandits want to soak there?

Then there is nothing to say, take the lead and go down, and the nine rows re-enter the nest they dug out.

"The second squad of the ninth squad faces forward, and the third squad and the first squad face backward, prepare for battle, don't be in a hurry to shoot first! Fool, you throw two grenades at the foot of the hill where we came. He gave the order in a low voice, and at the same time pulled out the grenade, ripped off the safety, smashed the shot, and then threw it violently under the front of the high ground.

Boom--The explosion was particularly clear and piercing, and the flash was particularly conspicuous, and then Hu Yi was heard shouting in his voice: "There are eight roads over there! Eight roads are coming-"

Boom-boom--The foot of the highland mountain on the right side exploded twice, and it was a grenade thrown by Wu Shishi.

Then the sound of shell guns sounded in the darkness at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time, someone shouted: "Eight roads are here!

There was an uproar everywhere in the darkness, and there was chaos on the spot, and the loosely organized mountain bandits were temporarily stunned......
