Chapter 474 Huangshi Ridge

Outside the ancient town, there is a ruined temple in the mountains.

Wu Zheng and his men, less than twenty people, settled here.

"Master, did you agree too quickly just now? Boss Qin is obviously not a good man or woman..."

"Uncle, I can't help it. What kind of situation are we in now? You don't know. This 'San Cun Ding' has already spread the word and wants to buy my head for 50,000 yuan. I am hiding in Tibet. When did I become a human being?" head?"

"We can leave here, just like Mr. Qin said, join the army and take revenge. It's not too late in ten years."

"I'm afraid that once I die on the battlefield, my father and Chan'er will die with their eyes open." Wu Zheng said, this was an obsession in his heart.

"Hey, what can I say about you? This boss Qin is also a dangerous person. It seems that you won't suffer much from the bet he made with you. I'm afraid it won't be enough if you lose yourself in the end." The older man whom Wu Zheng called "Abo" sighed.

"Uncle, I have nothing to lose. The bet was signed by one person and has nothing to do with you. If I lose, the worst I can do is give my life to him." Wu Zheng said, "As long as Boss Qin If he really has the ability to avenge me, what if I leave my life to him?"

"Anyway, my old bones don't have many years left to live. Wherever you go, young master, I will go."

"Uncle, do you still have Auntie and Xiaochun at home?"

"I have already settled them. Don't worry. Your father and I are brothers. He entrusted me to take care of you when he was dying. This is my responsibility."

…

"Li Fu, help me draft a telegram for Director Dai." After dinner, Luo Yao called Li Fu into his room.

"Brother, do you want to recruit this Wu Zheng?"

"Our military commander has always wanted to expand our influence at the junction of Sichuan and Hunan, but this is the area of ​​​​indigenous influence. It is difficult for the people we send to fight and work there. This is also an important channel connecting Sichuan to southern Hunan. We must have our Exists." Luo Yao nodded.

"I understand, I know how to write it."

"Write it down and give it to me for review."

"yes."

…

After the telegram was sent, Luo Yao quickly received a call back from Dai Yunong. The telegram naturally affirmed Luo Yao's approach.

Moreover, Dai Yunong also praised him highly in the telegram, thinking that he was always thinking about military control, and his initiative was very good.

In the message, Dai Yunong agreed with Luo Yao's idea of ​​recruiting Wu Zheng and his group to join the military, and also agreed with Luo Yao's idea of ​​taking this group of people to the mountain city for relevant training.

It’s not enough to just give them a name or an official title. You have to inject new things into these people’s minds.

Luo Yao is not just for military control, but for the longer-term future. He will never reveal this to anyone now, not even his own comrades.

He was afraid of scaring people.

After a day's journey, even if you don't have to walk on two legs, you are still very tired, especially the bumpy road.

There are many technical personnel in the team, and they cannot be compared with soldiers who treat marching as if they are eating.

You have to have a good rest so that you can have the energy to go on the road tomorrow morning.

There are no electric lights in the ancient town, so lighting can only be done with candles or lanterns. Luo Yao and the others all brought their own lanterns, which are much better than candles.

"Everything is fine at home, and we are all looking forward to it, waiting for us to go back." After Xu Jihong quietly left the team, Chen Zerong was officially responsible for sending and receiving newspapers.

"Call me back and I'll get back to you within three to five days."

The Nanyue Military Conference is expected to be over, and the next strategic policy towards Japan reached at the relevant military conference has not yet been announced.

Everyone is also speculating that Luo Yao has received some bad news about "military restrictions on communism".

Although he had not seen the official document, he knew that this was another key topic of discussion at this military meeting.

This made him very worried, but he couldn't ask too much.

Of course, for such important information, the organization must have channels to obtain information, but the Kuomintang will not give the organization substantial evidence and handles.

Because, at this juncture of the struggle to resist Japan and save the nation, the Kuomintang still resorts to the same tactics of party members and enemies of dissenters, which is unpopular with the people.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for Luo Yao to obtain the exact relevant documents.

Next, the party's living environment will become even worse. Not only will it have to deal with the Japanese invaders, but it will also have to face internal strife and friction within the Kuomintang.

With this worry, Luo Yao fell into sleep.

…

"Well, lift the box up, be careful, don't knock it, this equipment is very valuable..." As soon as I got up in the morning, I heard Deng Yi directing the equipment to be reloaded in the yard.

"Boss Qin, you're awake." This time when I go back, I can no longer use my previous identity as the liaison team of the Field Service Corps.

So I randomly made up the identity of the owner of a transportation company.

Luo Yao became the boss of this company.

Everyone also changed their words temporarily to avoid getting into trouble on the road. Although this is the hinterland and the Japanese influence has not yet penetrated here, there is nothing wrong with being careful in everything.

"Is the kitchen cooking?" Luo Yao asked.

"We've already made steamed buns and local glutinous rice cakes. If you can't finish it, you can take it away and save it for lunch. We'll be on the road today without stopping."

"Okay, then prepare some more dry food in case of emergencies." Luo Yao nodded.

"Okay, I've prepared one and a half times the amount of food for each person."

"It's early six o'clock now. Let's eat at six o'clock and set off at seven o'clock. Please let us know and no one will delay unreasonably!"

"yes."

"Also, everyone is provided with weapons and ammunition." Luo Yao solemnly ordered.

There may really be a fierce battle on the road today. Although they may not need to take action, who can say for sure.

…

Ten Mile Pavilion.

Wu Zheng and his men of less than twenty people were waiting here early. They only had seven horses and mules.

One horse is not enough for two people to ride together.

"Master, why hasn't the person you mentioned arrived yet?" A young local man wore a brand new shell gun on his waist. It was obviously one of the weapons Wu Zheng brought back last night.

"Why are you in such a hurry? There are dozens of people in this house, including women, can you get up quickly?"

"I'm coming……"

The sound of a moving car came, and those with sharp ears could already hear it.

"Mr. Wu is a trustworthy person." Luo Yao took the lead, walked to the front, jumped off his horse, and said to Wu Zheng, cupping his fists.

"Boss Qin, we are here. Let me introduce you. This is Uncle He. You met yesterday. He is my father's sworn brother." Wu Zhengxiao greeted him and introduced his subordinates one by one.

Luo Yao agreed one by one: "Mr. Wu, seeing that you don't have many horses, how about you get in our car and let's squeeze in and give you some space?"

"That's fine."

"Then please."

"Your people should also change into our clothes, so as not to be seen through by others." Luo Yao looked at the people behind Wu Zheng and said.

"But we are not prepared?"

"It doesn't matter, we have it." Luo Yao chuckled and waved, and Deng Yi immediately ordered someone to take 20 sets of ready-made clothes from a truck and deliver them over.

"tiger!"

"exist."

"You lead a group of people to go ahead and clear the way."

"Yes." Yang Fan clamped his horse's belly, then followed four people and headed forward. The five people were fully armed. In addition to the sabers, they also had cavalry-specific carbines. Of course, they were all equipped with A handgun for close combat self-defense.

It can be seen that these people are not only well-equipped, but they are also elites, and they are definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Wu Zheng saw it with envy. On the other hand, compared with others, the people around him were just like crooked melons and cracked jujubes. They looked very sad.

Comparing people to each other will make people angry to death.

Once he has the guns and recruits people, he will also send out an elite force from the training department to restore the glory of the Wu family.

The two teams joined together.

Moving forward quickly on the winding road, neither too fast nor too slow.

During the march, there was no unnecessary sound. Except for short breaks to drink water, there would be brief exchanges. There was almost no noisy sound during the march.

The team was sometimes eerily quiet.

discipline!

Wu Zheng and Uncle He were walking in the center of the team, closely behind the car, and unconsciously formed a group of two, moving forward in parallel.

Consistent with the entire team.

The terrifying assimilation ability makes you follow it unconsciously.

"Mr. Wu!"

"Boss Qin..." Upon hearing this, Wu Zheng rushed over immediately.

"How far is it from the Huangshi Ridge you mentioned?" Li Fu stepped aside and let Wu Zheng get up.

"Go forward three sections of the winding mountain road and you'll be there." Wu Zheng looked at the mountain road in front of him on horseback and said.

"Well, okay, then we will speed up. After crossing Huangshi Ridge, we will rest and have lunch." Luo Yao ordered.

Huangshiling is a traffic hub, and the Xiangchuan Highway passes through here, which is considered a quite dangerous section.

In the past, this was a place frequented by bandits. Because the terrain here was dangerous, in order to build roads, they used explosives to blow up a hilltop and fill up a ravine. This is how the Xiangchuan Highway came into being.

This kind of road is no different from the asphalt road in the city. It is just smoothed so that cars can pass on it.

There are steep hills on both sides of the road, and there is no protection at the turns. If you go too fast or if you are not careful, cars and people will rush down the mountain.

Falling here basically eliminates the possibility of survival.

Inexperienced drivers must be extremely careful and alert when driving on such a mountainous road. A little distraction can be a tragedy.

When bandits block roads and rob, their routines are basically the same. How can there be so many new tricks?

Huangshiling used to be a good place for roadblocks and robberies. Now, even though the road has been built and the topography has been artificially changed, it is still a place frequented by bandits.

But ordinary bandits don't have the guts to rob on this Xiang-Sichuan Highway. This is a problem with the National Government.

Because now this highway is the main artery of Sichuan and Hunan.

Military vehicles often pass through this road. After all, these bandits are no match for the regular army, and they are not that stupid.

The bandit villages in western Hunan all have their own sphere of influence. Entering Huangshiling is equivalent to entering the core sphere of influence of the "San Cun Ding".
