march to victory

"My friend, we are just passing by, and we hope it will be convenient."

When Xiang Tao stood up, he had long since lost his previous indifference. Instead, he spoke to the other party with a self-confident smile.

"Our people from Jigong Mountain are penning sheep here today, you can go around from other places."

Xiang Tao nodded and asked, "My friend, this detour is a long one, how long will it take?"

"It's just arrived, and it hasn't started yet." The bandit pondered for a while, and added: "I'm afraid it won't stop today."

Xiang Tao clasped his fists to the other party with a smile and said, "Then I wish you all good fortune and good luck."

The other party probably felt that Xiang Tao was also a man who knew the rules, so his attitude was a little better, and he clasped his fists back and said, "I would like to borrow your good words, please!"

Immediately, Xiang Tao turned around and took everyone back the same way.

After Xiang Tao and the others walked away, a bandit next to the talking boss asked, "Fifth brother, they don't look like ordinary people. They are probably escorts, but they are empty-handed. They are not carrying yellow goods." It’s black goods, why don’t we eat them? It’s also a good way to make a fortune.”

The little boss glanced back at the subordinate who was talking, and said disdainfully: "Your eyes are quite poisonous, and you know that they have goods on them. However, you only see the goods on their bodies, but you don't see them. It's definitely all box cannons. You said it yourself, these people are not ordinary people at first glance, and all of them are box cannons, it means that the other party has a lot of background, so I'm afraid we can eat it. But it provoked a strong enemy. Besides, there are only a few of us, and there are more than ten opponents. If we really want to fight, do you think we can eat it? We lost our lives without getting anything else."

"Then I'll go and inform the head of the family to bring more brothers over there, and catch up with them and eat them before they go far?"

"One thing more is worse than one thing less. Forget it, let's put sheep in peace of mind. After all, Lijia Village is considered rich. As long as Lijia Village can be eaten, it is enough for the brothers to live happily for a year. There is no need for extra trouble."

The subordinate thought for a while, then nodded with a smile and said, "That's right. There are militiamen and guns in Lijia Village. Dealing with them will be very troublesome. If you add this group of people, it's really hard to say."

Although Li Feng is also a soldier, he is good at civilian military duties such as investigation after all, and he is not good at commanding operations. What's more, he is a little confused about the different meanings expressed in this kind of bandit blocking the way.

Fortunately, Li Feng has a huge advantage - don't be ashamed to ask!Knowing professional things needs to be solved by professionals, instead of relying on one's own status to order randomly.

Seeing that the soldiers' gazes were a bit wrong before, but now even their aura is not right: when they met the black bull earlier, although they were pointed at with guns and they were still surrounded, their aura did not change, and they were still relaxed.But now, even though they have retreated, everyone's momentum is a little more murderous.For this point, Li Feng, who is a soldier, can still clearly feel it.

He even found out that some soldiers had already started to secretly take out the box cannon and check the weapons and ammunition-this is a sign of war!

Confused, he hurriedly asked Xiang Tao who came beside him: "Xiao Xiang, what's wrong with you? I can see that there is something wrong with your eyes. Comrades have started to check weapons. Is this going to war?"

"Go and inform the comrades in the second platoon immediately, and ask them to speed up and come over to gather immediately." Xiang Tao first ordered a soldier to run quickly to the platoon that the comrades were following.Then he nodded to Li Feng, walked quickly and said seriously: "Director Li, we are going to teach these bandits a good lesson."

"What's going on? Tell me carefully."

"Director Li, these bandits are about to attack Lijiacun. Since we have collided with each other, we must not stand idly by... Director Li, wait for you and Xiao Zhao to lead a few people to fight in the back, and I will fight with the comrades in the second row. pioneer……"

What Xiang Tao said sounds good, what is pressing the formation, what is playing the vanguard, in fact, he said, "You and Xiao Zhao are waiting behind, I will send a few people to protect you, there will be no danger. Let's deal with these bandits first , I’ll invite you to go there again.”

However, Li Feng directly took out a small pistol from his waist, and smiled at Xiang Tao: "Xiao Xiang, you underestimate me too much. With the experience of fighting, I haven't reached the point where I need someone to protect me."

"But, Director Li, your safety..."

"What is safe or not, no matter what my position is, I am a soldier of the Eighth Route Army first. Now that I have encountered this, how can I stand by?"

"No, Director Li, before coming here, our political commissar has repeatedly told me that even if my own life is gone, I must ensure your safety, you..."

Li Feng thought for a while, and said seriously: "Xiao Xiang, I don't want to talk nonsense with you now, I'll just ask you a little bit: Is it your political commissar official's office, or the official office of me, the special commissioner?"

"Your official university."

"That's it. Now, I order you to take me to fight with you. Well! Also, from now on, I am an ordinary soldier under your command, not a special commissioner."

"But……"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Think more about how to fight this battle."

Seeing Li Feng's persistence, Xiang Tao admired him very much, but he was more worried about Li Feng's safety, but he also understood that he couldn't persuade him now, so he had to find another way.I had to temporarily agree: "Yes!"

Turning around the foot of the mountain, everyone went into the woods to rest and wait for the arrival of the second row.

"Xiao Xiang, come, have a cigarette."

Passed a cigarette to Xiang Tao, lit a cigarette himself, took advantage of the opportunity to go to Xiang Tao's side, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xiang, I still don't understand, how do you know that these bandits want details of Lijia Village, and know They haven't done it yet?"

"Director Li, there are some black words in it. For example, if the local bandits get the news in advance that a certain target is going to pass by a road, they will lie in ambush at both ends of the road in advance. After the target enters, they will take the road Blocking the front and back, this is called catching sheep. Because it is only aimed at the target, in order to avoid accidents, it will not rob other people who want to pass through this section of the road. It is necessary to detail a large target, such as a village or something , The slang is called penning sheep, that is, surrounding and beating. For other people who want to pass by, they will not be embarrassed, they will be persuaded. Just like the bandits we are encountering now, Lijia Village is in their mouths, You have become a sheep in the sheepfold... I just tentatively asked how long it would take to wait, and the man replied that you heard it, not only did he not start attacking, but he also specifically said that he would wait for a long time. This is from the side It reflects that Li Family Village also has a certain amount of force to resist, so it is not so easy for these bandits to eat, and the time will naturally be much longer."

"However, when we met Hei Niu and the others, you didn't react too much, but when you met this group of bandits, you reacted so much. Is there any way to do this?"

"We didn't have much reaction when we met Hei Niu and the others, because Hei Niu and the others were just blocking the way and robbing, and their influence was not that great. Moreover, if the work was done properly, we were sure to draw them into our anti-Japanese team. But , Now these bandits from Jigong Mountain, they are penning sheep, killing people and setting fire, which will inevitably cause a very bad impact. Regarding such things, we must help the people in Lijia Village to drive them away, and maybe even turn around They will send troops to wipe out the bandits in Jigong Mountain... The nature is different, and the result will be different."

Li Feng thought for a while and nodded.But suddenly thought of something, moved closer, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xiang, how do you know so many things?"

"I participated in the revolution before the Long March. Before that, I was forced to wander in the rivers and lakes for a while, and I also worked as a bandit for a while, so I have a relatively clear understanding of the inside. Although here The slang words are a bit different from ours, but they are all bandits, and they lead to the same goal by different routes. You will know after a little understanding... Director Li, our team leader even asked me to learn about the various ways of local bandits, which is not a big deal for me Is it a violation of discipline?"

"You are taking the task to understand the enemy, so naturally it doesn't count. Besides, you are an old comrade who has experienced the Long March, so there is no need to say more about this political thought-it is interesting to say: whether it was at that time or later, people will be very fond of those who participated in the Long March. It can be said that in everyone's mind, anyone who participated in the Long March is regarded as the most loyal fighter to the party and the people, especially in terms of political ideology, there is absolutely no doubt, it can be said , It has been tested by the Long March, and it is more firm than any guarantee. Besides, no matter where the hero comes from, as long as the prodigal son turns back, corrects his evil ways, and finally embarks on the road of revolution, he is a good comrade.”

Xiang Tao nodded with a relieved smile.

Soon, the second platoon of the assault company came to this forest.

Ordinarily, Li Feng is the highest among these people, regardless of his military rank or position, and he should lead everyone in this battle.But because Li Feng has self-knowledge and knows that fighting is not his strong point, he happily delegates power and just acts as a bystander.

And Xiang Tao is the platoon leader of the regiment's security platoon, and the assault company is also a company directly under the regiment, and they are also the elite of the elite.As for the platoon leaders of these two platoons, in terms of rank, there is not much difference between them.

The assault regiment is proud, and as its elite, it is naturally even more proud. Therefore, the two platoon leaders are very confident in eliminating the bandits on Jigong Mountain, but when will they attack the bandits on Jigong Mountain? However, the two had a dispute.

Although I don't know how many people shot at Jigongshan this time, and when the other party launched an attack on Lijiacun, or forced Lijiacun to surrender... Although there is no direct information, but from the past According to the survey of bandits in Gongshan and other large and small groups, Jigongshan has about 120 people and 80 to [-] guns (only rifles are counted, not firecrackers), which can be regarded as relatively powerful bandits.Well, except for the basic guards of Jigong Mountain they left behind, the number of people who came to attack Lijia Village this time is estimated to be around [-] at most.

And the root cause of the dispute between the two platoon leaders was...
