In the early morning, everything is silent.

Taking advantage of the night, the Jiangsu Detachment of the New Second Army had assembled. The officers and soldiers walked through the dense forests, crossed the gurgling mountain stream, and walked southwest along the winding mountain road.

Apart from the sound of footsteps, the entire team made no noise, just like a ghost walking out of hell

Xie Yu walked at the top of the team, his face calm, but his hand shaking slightly inside his sleeves revealed his nervous mood at this moment.

Assigned by Wu Ming, Xie Yu was fully responsible for the transfer of the 6,000 main troops of the Southern Jiangsu Detachment, as well as the same number of militias and guerrillas. The heavy pressure over the past few days made him unable to sleep and his mental state was on the verge of collapse.

Xie Yu was a little distracted and didn't pay attention to his feet. He suddenly stepped on a pebble and staggered and was about to fall to the ground. Liu Zhenning, who was following him, quickly held him up, lowered his voice and asked worriedly: "Commander Xie, you are the backbone of our Southern Jiangsu Detachment now, so you must not have any problems with your health."

"It's okay, I'm not a young man with a delicate body. I've been with the commander for almost eight years. I haven't experienced any storms? Don't worry." Xie Yu waved his hand indifferently.

"Hey, you haven't had a rest for three days and three nights. If you continue like this, your body will collapse."

Liu Zhenning called the guard and took out a canned lunch meat from his waist bag and handed it to Xie Yu: "Commander Xie, please eat something. When we rush out of the encirclement, I will get you some good things to replenish your body. Don't worry, this is the last time I shipped from the rear. I heard that Maoliangwu Food Factory has once again expanded its production scale, with canned horseshoe, instant noodles, and compressed cakes. I have never been willing to eat it before, and now I am just right to supplement your nutrition."

"Your canned food should be eaten by yourself. You are the front-line commander. Maybe you will break through later and you will have to lead the troops to fight continuously."

Xie Yu pushed the can back to Liu Zhenning.

Now the supplies are in short supply, and each officer and soldier only have two taels of fried rice every day. If they can't break through, the entire army will still be starved to death even if they don't die in battle.

"Commander-You can't stop eating"

Liu Zhenning was a little anxious: "I asked your guard. Last night, you ignored his objection and gave your fried rice to the wounded and sick in the field hospital as the commander..."

"Okay, I know my body--hidden"

Xie Yu suddenly closed his mouth and hid behind a rock. The soldiers behind him heard the order and followed him to find a place to hide. Those who could not find the place would lie on the ground... It turned out that Xie Yu found two people coming from the foot of the mountain in front and quickly issued a warning.

"Commander Thank you, it's me, the spy company Li Zhiqing"

The two people on the other side had no intention of evading, and waved and shouted.

Listening to the familiar voice, Xie Yu finally felt relieved.

Li Zhiqing was a lieutenant platoon leader of the special battalion of the Army Direct Guard Regiment who was proficient in Japanese. After selecting and joining the Southern Jiangsu Detachment, he soon advanced to the position of captain and commander of the detachment's spy company for his merits.

Seeing that it was his own person, Xie Yu wanted to stand up from the rock. Who knew that his hands and feet were a little out of control, so he finally stood up with the help of Liu Zhenning.

Li Zhiqing took two steps at once and soon came to Xie Yu.

The flashlight was lit at this time, and Li Zhiqing introduced to the people behind him: "Battlefield Commander Gu, this is Commander Xie of our New Second Army's Southern Jiangsu Detachment."

The visitor nodded and said politely: "Commander Xie, the Japanese army is coming in full force. In addition to the 20,000 Japanese troops near Maoshan, there are three other Japanese troops from the brigades on the way. I'm sorry that I've made you suffer."

Li Zhiqing began to introduce the identity of the visitor.

This person's surname is Gu, his name is Yuancheng. He is from Yixing, Jiangsu. He is from a wealthy family. He traveled to Japan in the early 1930s and studied at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School. Japan brazenly launched the September 18th Incident, and Gu Yuancheng was indignant and returned to China before graduation. After the Japanese captured Nanjing, he organized the Imperial Army. Gu Yuancheng, who had studied in Japan, was invited out of his home by the Japanese army with bayonets. He is currently the battalion commander of the Eighth Mixed Brigade.

"Mr. Gu, you are so polite. You risked great danger to help me. I don't know how to thank you..." Xie Yu said with a smile.

"Commander Xie, now is not the time to say these polite words. Time is tight, so let's get on the road as soon as possible."

Gu Yuancheng interrupted Xie Yu and said anxiously: "Now the camp of the 7th Brigade of the Japanese Army has been quiet. The main officers of the 8th Mixed Brigade have all gone to bed. Our regiment commander went to the brothel in the town to smoke big cigarettes. He has handed over the entire regiment's defense to me. I will take you out of the encirclement now."

Seeing Gu Yuancheng's blurry face, Xie Yu didn't know what to say for a moment, so he nodded: "I don't thank you for your kindness."

"You are following me now, you can't talk, you can't-"

Gu Yuancheng whispered to the precautions and led Xie Yu and others down Maoshan. The troops that stretched for several miles followed the rolling hills toward the pavilion southeast of Tianwang Town.

Around Maoshan, the Japanese and puppet troops arranged a net of heaven and earth. The puppet troops were equivalent to silk threads in spider silk webs, which mainly acted as warning and early warning. The Japanese army was stationed at various strategic points. Once a silk was moving, it immediately appeared like a predator spider, destroying the New Second Army guerrillas that hit the net.

On the blockade line southwest of Maoshan, the command headquarters of the 7th Brigade of the Japanese army, which was the main force, was located in Caixiang Village. However, the two corps under its jurisdiction were stationed in Shangxing Town, except for one stationed near the brigade headquarters. In addition, in Baima, southeast of Lishui, there were a Japanese brigade and a puppet army and a regiment.

The brigade headquarters of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army is located in Tianwang Town, but the areas that require defense and warding are very wide. From Tianwang Town, Caixiang Village, Tianqingba to Shangxing Town, they are all defense areas of the Eighth Mixed Brigade, and the line from Tianqingba to Yanghe Village is the defense area of ​​Gu Yuancheng's regiment.

Gu Yuancheng was preparing to lead the Maoshan Detachment from the west mountain to pass the pavilion, enter Baima Mountain in the south, and Luobu Mountain, even if the task was completed. After rushing out of the Japanese encirclement, the troops entered Caoshan and Zhuangyuan Mountain from Huashan, and crossed between Gaochun and Langxi, which were more sparsely blocked, and could escape into Shifoshan on the northern foot of Tianmu Mountain.

The army of ten thousand people is like a long black dragon advancing rapidly to the south, and the team is gone from beginning to end.

Suddenly, four or five bright beams of light shot in front of him, and then a black team of people walked out of the foot of the western mountain in the north of the pavilion. The man in charge shouted: "Who? Speak?"

Xie Yu and others quickly fell to the ground and dared not speak. The other side shouted again: "Don't hide, I've seen you all. Come out for me, otherwise I'll order the shooting."

Xie Yu's hands and feet were cold.

Although the New Second Army's Southern Jiangsu Detachment had more than 10,000 troops, it was short of weapons and equipment, and the food and supplies were insufficient. In addition, the continuous combat troops were extremely tired. If people discovered that the Japanese army rushed from the northwest, southeast and southwest, the pavilion on the southern foot of Maoshan was the place where the Southern Jiangsu Detachment was buried.

Xie Yu and Liu Zhenning looked at each other. Although they did not see each other's expressions clearly, they did the same thing and quickly pulled out the pistol at their waists.

Gu Yuancheng gently pressed Xie Yu's hand and whispered: "On the other side is the second battalion commander of our regiment, who is a mortal enemy of me, and a complete traitor... You can't do it. Once the gunshots, it will be dangerous to alarm the 7th Brigade."

Xie Yu sighed heavily and silently put away his pistol.

Gu Yuancheng stood up, pulled Li Zhiqing for a while, and then walked over with more than a dozen special forces soldiers, sarcastically as he walked: "Who was out for a walk at night? It turned out that it was Battalion Commander Zhong, you have killed so many Chinese people, aren't you afraid that those unjust souls will come to settle the score with you?"

"Captain Gu, aren't you going out for activities in the middle of the night?"

Commander Zhong's face was gloomy, his cheeks trembled, and he snorted coldly: "I do things for the Imperial Army, and the gods believed in the Imperial Army will naturally protect me. Commander Gu is so enthusiastic about encirclement and suppressing the New Second Army guerrillas. He is not trying to compete with me for me, right?"

When he came to Battalion Commander Zhong, Gu Yuancheng snorted coldly and pointed at the side: "Zhong Jinglong, open your dog's eyes and take a look. The Taijun of the 7th Brigade comes to inspect our defense. Do you dare to make a big fuss and don't want to live?"

"What?"

Battalion Commander Zhong quickly shone the flashlight on Li Zhiqing's face.

Due to the important tasks undertaken by the spy company, from the company commander to ordinary soldiers during the operation, the spy company commander Li Zhiqing even wore the rank of lieutenant and his waist was broken. At this time, the light column of the flashlight shone directly on his neck, and two silver five-pointed stars shone brightly.

"Baga"

Li Zhiqing's face shook, and he pulled out his saber and glared at Battalion Commander Zhong.

Captain Zhong was shocked, quickly put away the flashlight, and approached him happily, and said with a smile: "Taijun, why do you come to inspect the position so late? What should you do if you are tired?"

"Baga, your conscience is very bad... I promised not to speak loudly at night, so as not to disturb the Chinese guerrillas. Do you want to inform the Chinese people?"

Li Zhiqing spoke very fast in Japanese. When Captain Zhong heard it like a book of heaven, he was in a fog. He had to look at Gu Yuancheng for help.

Gu Yuancheng quickly gave an answer to Battalion Commander Zhong.

After this episode, Battalion Commander Zhong immediately asked to lead the way for Li Zhiqing, a Japanese lieutenant, so that "Taijun" could better observe the defense of the front line of the pavilion.

Of course, Li Zhiqing is not the case. You should know that there are more than 10,000 troops waiting behind. With Battalion Commander Zhong, this shit-making stick, you will definitely get rid of it.

Li Zhiqing asked Gu Yuancheng to drive Battalion Commander Zhong away, but he didn't know that Battalion Commander Zhong was a shameless person. He just kept on leaving and wanted to gain appreciation by serving "Taijun".

Li Zhiqing had no choice but to exchange a glance with Gu Yuancheng, and said a few words of Japanese, then turned around.

Gu Yuancheng quickly came to Battalion Commander Zhong and whispered. When Battalion Commander Zhong heard this, his eyes stared blankly at Li Zhiqing and more than a dozen "Japanese soldiers" not far away.

"Your, keep up"

Li Zhiqing hooked his finger at Battalion Commander Zhong, said in stiff Chinese, and took people to the woods at the foot of the mountain. Battalion Commander Zhong blinked his eyes, feeling a little at a loss. Gu Yuancheng pushed him and said enviously and jealously: "You are not hurrying, it seems that Taijun has an important task to you. You are here to make a fortune."

"Ah... OK"

Captain Zhong quickly caught up with him and chased him towards "Taijun".

When Battalion Commander Zhong walked away, Gu Yuancheng was the highest commander of the puppet army on the scene. He raised his face and used a flashlight to illuminate the puppet soldiers brought by Battalion Commander Zhong, and ordered loudly:

"From now on, until your battalion commander comes back, it will be my command. If anyone wants to violate the order, don't blame my gun for not recognizing anyone."
