Chapter 940: The mountain road is rugged
It's been a few days since I stayed, I didn't say anything, time is not allowed to be delayed, from here to the central mountains, there are at least 5 days or more of the trip, they ordinary people, even if they are under the protection of the Wufeng Army, if they are caught up by the Japanese, they will only become a burden, when the time comes, there will be more fighters, sacrificed in the hands of the Japanese, this is irresponsible to everyone, Lin Long also knows very well that at present, in Taiwan, the armed forces are their only reliance, only with the barrel of a gun, can they confront the Japanese, to be able to keep them safe.
Luo Fuxing back then, with the support of the revolutionary party, dominated the storm and set off waves for two years, but when the backup was cut off, he was chased and killed by the Japanese layer by layer, and suffered heavy losses, one by one important backbones were killed, and the powerful and combat-effective team was surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese.
In just one year, such earth-shaking changes have taken place, isn't the reason because of the armament, even if they move now, even if they run to the mountains, as long as they have weapons to arm enough people, the future Taiwan will definitely belong to China.
After almost a week's effort, the entire Wufeng area has been moved, and there are thousands of poor families, even if it is the most ordinary family, they also have a lot of things that they are unwilling to give up, or under Lin Long's promises, this has completed the relocation of more than 30,000 people and more than 60 villages, stretching the team, from Wufeng to the central mountain range, which is very eye-catching, starting from the first one. To the last one, and on and on.
On the way to the central mountains. There are even some villages, after hearing about the situation of the Wufeng Army and what may happen to them. Actively follow.
This is out of the expectations of Lin Long and others, smart people are never a minority in China, for these willing to follow, Lin Long did not refuse, just take them away, of course, Lin Long will not deliberately wait for them, and leave them a short time.
But that's it. From the fog peak to the central mountain range, less than 50 kilometers away, willing to follow the village also reached 12, as for the people who followed, more than 15,000 people, the Japanese army's bloody massacre, so that no one dared to give the choice to the hand holding the knife, that is to test the conscience of the other party, Japan's occupation history of almost 20 years proves. Their hearts are black.
Lin Long had already left almost three days ago, and Lin Hu took the last batch of supplies with him, the remaining 5,500 people and nearly 2,000 families. Under the protection of the 1,200 soldiers left behind by the Wufeng Army, they embarked on the road to the central mountainous area, and the first people to set off were at least 8 days ago. It's already gone, the fastest batches. They have already settled near Hehuan Mountain, and they are the last of them. Probably the fastest, can catch up with the first batch or two into the valley, after all, most of them are young and strong.
In less than 10 days, the Wufeng Army was reorganized, not in accordance with the military system of the northwest, but the method of independent troops, regimental level, but below the regiment, it was not a battalion, but divided into different companies, flattened, reducing intermediate links, this was a helpless choice, before the support from the northwest arrived, before the real, after several years of professional training of the army finally arrived, they could only be divided into 7 companies.
The special forces are used alone, and in the absence of follow-up support, it is impossible for the special forces to be separated, and more than a hundred are selected from the reconnaissance company and the young men of the Wufeng Army, but they can only be used as auxiliary and support forces for the special forces, and cannot cooperate with the special forces to fight, otherwise not only can not increase the strength of the special forces, but will weaken his strength.
At present, the total number of Wufeng Army has reached about 2,450 people, except for the regimental headquarters and special forces of about 350 people, the remaining company has about 300 people, and the reconnaissance company has been completely separated, except for more than 30 people to support the special forces, the rest, in the middle of each company, there are only 30 people, except for serving as company commanders, platoon commanders and non-commissioned officers at the bottom, there is nothing else. The reconnaissance company was split, and the ability to actively attack and seek fighters was basically lost, and then, in addition to the mobile operations of the special forces, the entire Wufeng Army could only fight defensive battles.
Looking back at this Taichung Basin, houses and villages, etc., in the process of gradually moving forward, it is getting smaller and smaller, this place that has been staying for a while, his memories are getting weaker and weaker, but he is looking forward to the destination, always listening to Lin Long introduce the situation that was named Happy Valley, and now he finally went to them, I hope it was a good place at that time.
The last batch, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are much less, most of them are young and strong, even if there are women, they are all strong women, in this era when everyone works and may not be able to eat their bellies, running dozens of kilometers of mountain roads, for most people, is not a problem at all. Because of this, the speed was significantly faster, and it took less than a day in the plains, which was at least twice as fast as the first group of old, weak, sick and disabled.
This more than 50 kilometers, the most spent, it took 2 and a half days, after crossing the Wufeng Mountain, the distance is obviously much slower, starting from the low-lying plain to rise step by step, not only the terrain rises, the mountain road also seems difficult to walk, everyone passes through some small roads in the mountains, most of them are medicine pickers or hunters step out, there is no road in some places, only the front one can use the mountain knife to open the road, and the back one closely follows.
Calculating the distance, Liu Ye found that their speed should be able to catch up with the latest batch of departures, and asked Lin Hu to ask, only to know that because the physical fitness of the group of people is much better than the previous batches, and there is no burden of the elderly and children, the road they chose is closer and more dangerous.
On the night of the third day, they encountered the first danger, a canyon between the two mountains, the straight-line distance is only about 18 meters, but the height is at least 150 meters, this is the first shortcut on the road, if you knot the rope from here to make a bridge, pass here, at least than the detour of the mountain road is nearly 40 kilometers.
On the mountain road, a detour of 40 kilometers is terrible, even if it is all young and strong, it will take at least a day, Lin Hu has arranged a detour to the opposite side first, as long as the rope is shot over here, there are naturally people fixed on the opposite side.
For Lin Hu's arrangement, Liu Ye couldn't cry or laugh, he wanted to tell Lin Hu, not to mention that it was a special force with unique skills, even if it was some of the best in the reconnaissance company, he could also complete the rope shooting and ladder, and fix it in the past and carry people.
Next, a special forces who is good at this began to perform, directly using a simple longbow to accurately shoot the rope to a fixed and sturdy tree branch on the opposite side, and then with the help of pulleys, directly passed like a gust of wind, the other party's people have not reacted, one person passed, next, fixed, the second rope, the third, more than 30 special forces, one by one, also brought more than 20 hemp ropes, and then it was fixed and tied like a spider-man, and a temporary arrangement of rope bridges was formed.
More than ten meters, unless there is a fear of heights, the rest can be passed, there is a section of steel cable in the middle, which is specially prepared for fear of heights, when you can't pass, some of the more skilled, have done similar training, will take them over, this part of the people are not many.
Seven thousand people crossed the 18-meter rope bridge, it took a total of 3 hours, compared to the detour of a day, at least a dozen hours saved, when the canyon was crossed, the whole trip had gone two-thirds, leaving less than 40 kilometers of mountain road, the straight-line distance was only 20 kilometers, in fact, after they crossed here, because it was a straight line, in fact, it had exceeded the last two teams.
Then the kung fu of packing up the ropes, the team took a temporary rest, and after going down the mountain, it was a small valley, burying pots for cooking, and Liu Ye looked at this canyon, although he was not sure if the Japanese knew such a shortcut, but a point could be set up here, a point with special forces as the main station, relying on this canyon, flexible and changeable actions, you can move flexibly in the surrounding twenty or thirty kilometers, and you can hit the enemy out of nowhere.
On the drawing board in his hand, the simple map became finer, along the way, Liu Ye in addition to perfecting the map, also established some temporary positions, the Japanese mobilized more troops, how to give full play to the strength of the Northwest Army as much as possible, under the complex terrain, annihilating and blocking the Japanese attack, is the best choice.
Taiwan's mountain ranges, most of them are towering, Taiwan is produced in the collision of the Pacific plate and the Eurasian plate, Taiwan is gradually rising, volcanic earthquakes are also frequent, Taichung Plain, not a low-lying plain lower than the sea level, it is really not high, from west to east, the altitude is constantly rising.
Around the third day, the altitude at your feet may have exceeded the height of the main peak of Wufeng Mountain, and peaks more than 2,000 meters high abound, and some towering mountains even have snow lines. 3000 meters, not as good as the main peak of the continent more than 5000 meters, in most places has been called the high mountain, along the remnants of various mountain ranges, sometimes, from Alishan, or the pass of Yushan, the leader is familiar with the surrounding environment of the people, smooth and smooth to take them to the destination, just above 3000 meters above sea level next to the Hehuan Mountain, by the aborigines called the valley of happiness.
For a full 5 days, the rugged mountain road, surrounded by left and right, turned over one mountain after another, as if the high mountain in front of him would never reach the end, but soon, the guide pointed ahead, the red peak said: "Arrived, crossed that peak, it is the Valley of Happiness, and there are at most 12 kilometers of mountain road."
