Lao Snoring carried everyone on his back and carried two grenades on his body. He also only carried a short gun.
In other words, Lao Snoring has been prepared. If this time is a trap by the enemy, then he has no intention of coming back.
So he couldn't let his brothers know, and he didn't want to take anyone up the mountain.
If this is an enemy trap, bringing a few more people will only result in a few more deaths. And if it is as the villagers say, then there are many available people on the mountain.
So this time, Lao Shou didn't bring anyone with him. He just made up and became an ordinary villager and followed the other villagers up the mountain.
Walking up the mountain, Lao Shou realized how dangerous Wanjialing was. Not only were the mountain roads rugged, the slopes were also high, and the terrain was very complex.
But he did not see the fortifications that the bandits and villagers guarding the mountain talked about.
Lao Shou asked, and the villager said: This Wanjialing is very big. It is only on the outside and can avoid the lookout posts of the bandits. But when you get to the mountain, there are many checkpoints and fortifications. If there is no one inside to cooperate with the outside,
Extremely difficult to defeat.
Previously, revolutionary troops had entered the mountains to encircle and suppress Xiashan Hu, but they were repelled by Xiashan Hu with only a few hundred men.
The terrain in this mountain is complicated. Even if you have a cannon, you won't be able to bring it up.
Lao Snoring sneered, thinking that back then, they were all mountain cannons, so it would be impossible to bring them up such a road. But nowadays, most of the second battalion is equipped with mortars and grenade launchers. It would be too easy to bring them up.
In other words, the topographic advantage in the past has been greatly weakened now.
Therefore, firepower is the key to fighting a war. Only when the firepower is sufficient can the enemy be crushed.
Of course, the terrain is not useless. After all, being condescending is naturally much stronger than attacking the mountain. And especially the Japanese machine guns, as long as one is set up in a place where artillery fire cannot reach it, it will cause great damage to the spy camp.
of casualties.
Lao Shou watched as he walked, keeping the bandits' defense situation in mind. If necessary, he would go down the mountain again, or ask the villagers to go down the mountain and send the defense map down the mountain.
However, at this moment, a bandit shouted: "Stop, who are you?"
At this time, they had reached the checkpoint where they could not escape.
One of the villagers lowered his voice and said, "Sir, just don't talk."
At this point, the villager smiled and greeted him: "Brother, we have been ordered by the village chief to go to the mountains to find bricklayers. The boss wants to repair some fortifications. Don't we dare to delay this matter?"
The bandit looked at the person who spoke with squinted eyes. He knew him, but he was very surprised by Lao Shou. So he asked, "Who is he?"
The villager quickly replied: "He is an old man from our Zhangjia Village, an old bricklayer. His craftsmanship is good, but he can't be careless when working for a big boss."
"Hmph! You're old enough, go up!"
The bandit soldier waved his hand and let Lao Shou and others go up the mountain. He was not afraid that just one person could make trouble. Moreover, they all knew the villagers who often went down the mountain to do business. He was not afraid that these villagers would have any evil intentions.
.
Over the years, the villagers have been very obedient and worked very hard every time they worked for the boss. So as usual, the bandits let Lao Shou in, whom he had never seen before.
And the same is true for other checkpoints. No one will check in detail, because there is an order from the boss, who dares to take care of it?
So it was very easy for Lao Shou to sneak into Wanjiazhai. This is the core area of Wanjialing. There are many bandits. Whether they are sentries or patrols, they are incomparable to those at the foot of the mountain. And there are more on the mountain at this time.
Got a lot of little devils.
Some of these little devils stood with the sentries guarding the village, and some also patrolled with the bandits. Moreover, there were the most little devils on the east side of the stockade. The villagers said that after the little devils went up the mountain, they lived on the east side of the stockade.
In the wooden house, these were prepared in advance by Xiashanhu.
Lao Snoring wrote down all this, and then continued to follow the villagers inside, arriving at the residences of the four village chiefs.
The village chiefs of these four villages all live in Wanjiazhai at this time. They say it is convenient to obey orders, but in fact they are hostages. The tiger from the lower mountain detained them here just so that the people of several villages can obey. Otherwise, they will take this first
The heads of four old men were sacrificed to the flag, and then they went to four villages to kill people.
So this is why those bandit soldiers are not afraid that people from the four villages dare to betray them.
But they underestimated these villagers. They were always looking for opportunities to drive away the mountain tigers, and even killed them in Wanjialing.
So when the four old men saw Lao Shou with their own eyes, they were excited beyond words.
Zhang Heng grabbed Lao Shou's hand and said, "We looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally we have you here."
Lao Shou saw that the expressions of Zhang Heng and others did not look like they were pretending, so he asked: "Old people, our supervisory team is here to rescue everyone. Please don't worry, there are only a thousand Japs and a few hundred bandits."
, it has not yet been put into the hearts of our supervisory team. And there is no need for the villagers to organize themselves to cooperate with us in the fight. They have no guns, and they only increase casualties."
"Okay, okay!"
Zhang Heng said three good words in a row, because he also knew that if the young people in the village were really allowed to fight with swords and guns, it would be hard to say how many people would be killed or injured.
But even if there were heavy casualties today, these villagers would still have to fight hard. Years of oppression have made these villagers' tense nerves almost broken. That's why they took this step.
But at this time, Lao Shou's words made them all feel at ease, because there were many soldiers who did not need their help at all. They only needed to lead the supervision team.
Zhang Heng and others were very happy, and then they told Lao Snor about the White Snake and Hou Junbao.
Zhang Heng said: Although Hou Junbao does not have a good reputation, he does few evil things. Although he fought with them in the village and killed people, there were casualties on both sides. Moreover, some of Hou Junbao's men were originally from the village.
The bad boy.
But although they are bad, they are still members of the Zhang family, but they are not well educated. What's more, Hou Junbao is already willing to cooperate with the villagers. But now the little devil is here again, and Zhang Heng is really afraid that Hou Junbao will betray him again.
Therefore, Zhang Heng believed that it would be best for Lao Shou to meet the second master White Snake first, and then meet Hou Junbao.
Lao Snoring asked: "Who is this white snake?"
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "He is a good man, at least he did not harm the village. As for who he is, the people in the village do know. There was once a countryman who fled here and lived in the mountains.
, and rarely came down. Later, the old man in the family died, and only this white snake was left. At that time, there were people from the village who helped him take care of his father's future.
So this white snake has a pretty good relationship with the people in the village, and he is very smart. Anyway, I have never seen such a smart person!"
