Zhang Fusheng, the commander of the Yunnan Army, invited Shao Fei and them to his camp to hold an operational meeting to discuss how to exterminate this gang of bandits who pretended to be the Red Army and endangered one side.

Shao Fei, Zhao Fei, and the platoon leaders of each platoon sat on both sides of the conference table, and in the middle of the big table was a combat map. Zhang Fusheng stood in front of the table and explained the specific situation of this group of bandits.

According to Zhang Fusheng, this gang of bandits had more than 130 people, all dressed as Red Army, and they had come here before January. They were entrenched in a dangerous position in the mountains, where more than 20 families of mountain people once lived, but later all of them were killed by this gang of bandits and occupied the houses of the mountain people.

In the past month, the thieves have repeatedly gone down the mountain to rob homes and houses, rob guns and people's daughters, and cause public resentment in this area. The villagers asked for help from the Yunnan army to encircle and suppress, but Zhang Fusheng sent troops three times, but they were all defeated and returned.

Because the terrain was too dangerous, there was only a remote path in the mountains leading to the bandits' den, and the mountains were high and the terrain was dangerous, so the artillery could be used at all. However, the other side has machine guns and other heavy weapons, and sets up fire nets on the high ground on both sides of the path.

Zhang Fusheng also tried a night attack, but the other party was familiar with the terrain and set a large number of traps in the dark, and once touched, they would be exposed immediately.

Only then did Shao Fei understand why he was besieged by Zhang Fusheng on three sides. He thought that this was an opportunity to exterminate the bandits, and he couldn't let it go easily.

Shao Fei looked at the map carefully and asked, "Is there really no other way?" ”

Zhang Fusheng replied with certainty: "No, what I hate about these beasts is itchy teeth, he humiliates our Yunnan army and makes the people of Yunnan suffer." Therefore, all the ways that can be found have been found, and the opportunities that can destroy them will never be let go. ”

"What do you think?" After Shao Fei finished reading the map, he sat back in his position and asked the others.

"How about waiting for the rabbits, and when they come out to do evil, we are destroying them." Xu Pengfei suggested.

"No, I've tried. First, I don't know when they came out; Second, they have a lot of eyeliner and don't come to us at all. ”

Xu Pengfei's suggestion was immediately vetoed by Zhang Fusheng.

"There's another question that I want you to consider. It's the woman they captured. Once captured, will their lives be guaranteed? Zhao Fei added on the side.

"How about trapping them, guarding the intersections, cutting off their food." The second platoon commander said.

"No, either." Zhang Fusheng vetoed again, saying: "The grain they looted is enough for a month or two, and as I said before, there used to be people living there, there were fields in the mountains, and they could hunt." On top of that, there were dozens of women on the hill that they had snatched. ”

At this point, everyone went into contemplation. Assaults, night raids, and sieges were all unsuccessful, and almost all regular operations were used by Zhang Fusheng, and in the end they all ended in failure. The atmosphere around was completely deadlocked.

"Shao Fei, is there really no way?" Zhao Fei asked.

"Conventional warfare is not good, not to mention a battalion, even a regiment is useless. The casualties were too great. Shao Fei shook his head, a little helpless.

"I can't help it." Shao Fei stood up and said to Zhang Fusheng: "Battalion Commander Zhang, help me do 2 things. ”

"You say, I'll do it."

"Prepare a set of local clothes and high-powered binoculars for me, and I will go to observe the terrain alone. Second, call your regimental commander Yang and ask him to send those 12 special combat personnel over, and it seems that they can only use unconventional operations, that is, special operations operations. Shao Fei said.

"Special operations operations? This ......"

Zhang Fusheng was embarrassed, and then said: "The first request is not simple, it is the second request, I am afraid that the head of the regiment will not borrow someone." Those twelve people are all his treasures, and they have not yet formed combat power, and they are said to be used to resist Japan. If something happens now, I can't afford it. ”

"Hehe" Shao Fei disagreed, laughed, and said, "Those are trained by me, you should know." I personally took them to participate in a real battle, and your regiment commander couldn't ask for it. ”

"Oh well. There's no phone here, so I'll just send a phone call. ”

After Zhang Fusheng finished speaking, he walked out of the camp tent to arrange what Shao Fei wanted. Shao Fei told Zhao Fei to go back first, appease the soldiers, and do a good job in mass work, Zhao Fei is professional in this regard.

After everything was done, Shao Fei went alone to reconnoiter the target terrain.

According to the map, Shao Fei walked in the southwest direction for more than two hours, and finally arrived at the place where the mountain bandits were.

This is indeed as Zhang Fusheng said, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is only a small road leading to the mountain, and there is no big shelter around it. Looking down from the commanding heights on both sides of the path, as long as you set up cross-fire nets on both sides, you can't break through it anyway.

The most important thing is that the commanding heights are high, and it is impossible to hit the forced run.

Shao Fei sighed, it seems that a frontal attack will not work. So I walked south for nearly an hour, but I couldn't find my way into the mountain. These mountains are very distinctive, high and vertical, and it is difficult for teams to climb over them with equipment. I may be able to, but the twelve people of Sabo may not be ready for fire.

Not in the south, it seems that you can only try your luck in the mountains in the north. Coming to the north, the trees in the mountain are even more scarce, Shao Fei stepped forward to check the lower rock mass, which is very hard, the slope is about 70 degrees, and the visual height is more than 230 meters. Shao Fei decided to set it up as a breakthrough for the special combat team in this area.

It was already ten in the evening when Shao Fei returned to the camp, and the troops had already begun to prepare for dinner and camping. There were also several medical soldiers of the Yunnan army who did not leave, and treated the wounded together with Liu Ying's medical team.

Shao Fei called Zhao Fei to go with him to the medical team to visit the wounded. These people were all injured by the Dian army today, and some of them have already hung up hanging bottles. These should have been sent by the Dian army, and the Red Army did not have them at all.

"Hello sir!"

A second lieutenant and military doctor of the Yunnan Army saw Shuangfei coming over and immediately saluted.

"Good work."

Shao Fei and Zhao Fei saluted back. Liu Ying on the side laughed out loud and teased Shao Fei: "I really think you are a leader, you are a second lieutenant officer, and you are a small squad leader." ”

"Comrade Liu Ying, don't say that, here I have to listen to a company commander, and their battalion commander has to listen to him."

Zhao Fei spoke for Shao Fei seriously.

"Ignore her, she's a crazy girl."

Shao Fei had an indifferent expression, continuing to focus on the injuries of the wounded in front of him. Now Shao Fei is worried about whether these four seriously injured can recover in a short time and continue to march.

"How long does it take to recover?" Shao Fei asked the Yunnan military medical officer.

"With the best anti-inflammatory drugs, I think it will take a week at the earliest." The medical officer replied. ，

These words were heard by the wounded people on the side, and they began to be anxious, lying on the temporary wooden bed alone, and begged excitedly: "Squad leader Shao, don't leave us, we don't want to be left here anymore." ”

"yes, we don't want to stay."

The other seriously injured man immediately said, and the rest of the wounded turned their eyes to Shao Fei and Zhao Fei.

"What do you think?" Zhao Fei asked.

Shao Fei looked at these wounded soldiers and said solemnly to them: "Before leaving, I told everyone that we would not give up any of our comrades. I just hope that you will let go of the burden in your heart and recuperate in peace. It's all a family, don't feel that it's a burden on the troops, no matter who it is, even if he is missing arms and legs, we have to carry him north and find our own troops. ”

Shao Fei's words touched these wounded people word by word, and also made them completely relieved.

After Shao Fei finished speaking, he continued to visit the other wounded, and then came to a no-man's land with Zhao Fei, and said softly to Zhao Fei: "I don't have much time now, in a few hours, I will act when it gets dark." You send someone to Camp Commander Zhang's place and ask him to help me prepare two thick ropes 300 meters long, which must be absolutely strong. Inform me as soon as they arrive, and set off immediately. ”

"Isn't there a need to draw up any battle plan? How did our troops and the Dian army arrange the offensive? Zhao Fei asked.

"It's an unconventional operation, the troops are useless, and when we're done fighting, we send flares. You go up the hill from the trail and are responsible for clearing the battlefield. ”

After Shao Fei finished speaking, he patted Zhao Fei's arm and leaked a somewhat evil smile: "There must be a lot of treasures and equipment in it, don't ask the Dian army to rob it, do you know?" ”

"Of course." Zhao Fei smiled after hearing this, as if he was about to make a fortune. But suddenly he became serious again, as if he had thought of something, and said to Shao Fei: "No, we can receive equipment, but we can't ask for property." You have to keep a few of them, so that they may give back to the people where they have come from. ”

"Haha" Shao Fei laughed and hit Zhao Fei with his fist: "You kid, your consciousness is higher than me." We sold our equipment to the Dian army at a high price and slaughtered this fat sheep, so that we could get rid of the evil spirit of being beaten by the Dian army for no reason. ”

"You're selling arms." Zhao Fei smiled and pointed at Shao Fei.

"It's called Zai Kaizi, you know."

Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Fei: "You go first, I'll rest alone, and I've walked a lot in the afternoon." I'll think about the night raid again. ”

"Well, I'll go first."

After Zhao Fei left, Shao Fei walked alone to the stream not far from the camp and sat down, quietly watching the stream slowly flow in front of him.

The stream shimmers in the light of the setting sun, and this scene is particularly touchable.
