Twelve days had passed since the Battle of Orchid Ridge, and even the general minor injuries in the fierce battle at Shanguan had basically recovered, and Bai Shujie finally decided to start arranging a retreat.

Because the north wind has been howling in recent days, the temperature has dropped sharply. And the sky was overcast, as if it was going to snow. There are too many wounded people around me, and once the snow closes the mountain, it will be troublesome.

How to arrange the transfer, this is a big question. Zhang Erleng still can't get out of bed, and he definitely can't move at the moment. Zuihou had no choice but to decide to retreat in batches.

The most complete personnel is the fourth provisional squad, Qiu Wanyou and Luo Qingsong turned out to be the backbone of the reconnaissance battalion, and they led the team to go first, and Bai Shujie was more relieved.

Now there are 19 horses on hand, except for 2 for emergency, the other 17 are all carrying weapons and ammunition. 9 92 infantry guns and 14 92 heavy machine guns, which are too cumbersome. After careful examination, Bai Shujie decided to stay for the time being, and wait until he returned to Rehe after the beginning of spring to come and take it away. If you get it back by the little devil, you can only count yourself unlucky.

Two days later, at ten o'clock in the evening, the cold wind was biting outside, and the baggage squad and the provisional four shifts were all gathered, with a total of 29 people and 17 pack horses loaded with ammunition ready to go.

"Brothers, although these things are important, I still say that no matter how valuable things are, no human life is worth anything! If there's an emergency on the road, you can throw them all away! Wang Xinlan and Liu Wanruo will go with you with the radio, their safety is your first priority, and there must be no loss in the slightest! ”

Bai Shujie Zuihou said: "After arriving at Badger Ridge, send a telegram to me. The others immediately returned to Tianhua Mountain, and the baggage team unloaded their weapons and ammunition and rested for two days. Then return here with the horses and take the rest with you. The temperature is very low at night, so you should prevent frostbite and falls. Now I order: Qiu Wanyou is the commander-in-chief of this operation, go! ”

Because Liu Jufu is a living map of the mountains here, Bai Shujie arranged for the baggage class to run twice. On the evening of the fifth day, Liu Jufu led the baggage squad back to the secret camp in Waist Ridge, and also brought back some news.

The news that Bai Shujie is most concerned about is finally here!

Recently, there have been three successive cases of "revenge squads" executing the chairman of the maintenance committee near Liaoyang. The First Division of Goryeo Stick was ordered to send troops to encircle and suppress, but it was killed by the "revenge team", and a gun tower in the west of Liaoyang County was killed, and all the little devils of a squad were beheaded!

And left a warning letter: "If you have the ability, come to Lao Tzu, if you dare to take revenge on the ordinary people, Lao Tzu will start to exterminate the unarmed island civilians!" ”

Arrogant! Arrogant as always!

is exactly the same as the situation around Fushun at the beginning, and the "revenge team" is already sure to go west!

After urgent consultations, the Fengtian First Military Region Command felt that it was best for the people of China to deal with the people of China, and it was not the imperial warriors who died anyway. Therefore, an order was immediately issued: "Order: Shao Benliang's 'Independent Army' should be immediately mobilized and stationed in Liaoyang to suppress bandits, there must be no mistake!" ”

Liu Jufu Zuihou said: "Originally, we were able to come back last night, but because all the puppet troops were dispatched, which made the railway line very tense, we had to spend a day on the east side of the railway." At first, I thought it was coming at us, but after inquiring, Zuihou learned that it was the army that had started. ”

"As soon as Shao Benliang, the mongrel leaves, our pressure will be much less." Bai Shujie nodded and said, "You have worked hard, take a good rest for two days." ”

"No, captain, I have to go back to my hometown!" Liu Jufu shook his head: "In my vegetable field, there is still a jar of badger oil. That thing is an absolute cure for burns, burns and frostbite! This is still the recipe taught to me by Mr. Wan Furui, an old Chinese medicine doctor in Laozhuanggou, Motianling, and it is a pity to lose it in the ground. ”

Bai Shujie also felt that badger oil was a good thing, so he agreed: "That's okay, Jiapigou is not far from here." Liu Zhiwu, the four of you will accompany your uncle on a trip, and leave all the spears behind, and see if the four of you can use what you have learned recently! No matter what happens, safety comes first, and you can't be reckless and impulsive. You know, you are now soldiers of the Rehe Front, not ordinary people! ”

Arranged for these five people to act at the same time, Bai Shujie had other intentions. After Liu Zhiwu and Liu Cuihua's mother was killed by the little devil, they have not returned. Some time ago, because Shao Benliang was staring too closely, he had no chance at all. Today, I just took this opportunity to let their family go home to the grave of their old mother, which can be regarded as a filial piety.

After a few people left, Bai Shujie felt uneasy again, so he found Xu Sanjiang, who was temporarily assigned to the third class: "Sanjiang, draw two soldiers from your squad to follow secretly, if you find any situation, come back and report to me quickly!" ”

At six o'clock the next morning, everyone returned, and nothing happened. However, Zhang Erleng's recovery is not very good. The wound on his left shoulder has healed, but his left arm remains weak.

Bai Shujie thought it was muscle atrophy at first, but after careful inspection, he found no problem. Zhang Erleng's statement that his left arm is always soft and has no strength at all, and there is a feeling of numbness in some places.

Zhang Erleng could shoot with a rifle with one arm, that is, he could shoot with two rifles at the same time, and the hit rate within 100 meters was very high. This is the only number one in the Rehe Front, which shows how strong the control of his arms is. Now suddenly soft, Zhang Erleng suspected that his left arm had been scrapped.

Zhang Erleng was anxious himself, and Bai Shujie, Xiao Lamei, Yang Mantun and others were even more anxious.

"Captain, if it doesn't work, we may need to look for Mr., it's useless to be in a hurry here." Liu Jufu saw that everyone was helpless, so he found Bai Shujie and said: "I'll take squad leader Zhang to Motianling for a trip to find Mr. Wan Furui, maybe he has a way." I'm afraid that squad leader Zhang can't walk, which is more difficult to do. ”

"It's not difficult, I have a way!"

Bai Shujie also knew that the old Chinese medicine doctor had a unique kung fu for incurable diseases, and he suddenly came to his senses. After a day of preparation, Bai Shujie finally got a pair of "horse pack stretchers". It is to let the two horses walk flat and hang the stretcher on the two saddles. When encountering a steep slope, it is carried by a person. This saves physical strength and does not delay the speed of travel.

After careful consideration, Bai Shujie decided to take Liu Zhiwu, Tang Pingshan and Liang Jishan with them, which can be regarded as a kind of training. Liu Jufu, as a guide, is naturally indispensable. In the dead of night that night, the six people and two horses quietly set off and went straight to the first line of Orchid Ridge.

It seems that the little devil has used this time to complete the work of collecting the corpse, and he has done a clean job along the way. The surrounding people may have just had a bloody battle in this area, and there are no pedestrians. A few people walked all night, not to mention people, and not even a wild beast saw a single one.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Bai Shujie and his entourage finally arrived at the main peak behind Laozhuanggou. According to Liu Jufu, from here, down a small ravine in the northwest direction, less than four miles away is the home of Mr. Wan Furui.

For the sake of safety, Bai Shujie asked Liu Jufu and Liu Zhiwu, father and son, to go down first to see the situation. It's an unfamiliar place, and there have been two major wars in a row. I'm afraid that the little devil may also consider that there are wounded and sick people here for treatment, so they can't be careless. Even if the two fathers and sons of the Liu family meet acquaintances, they can be said to be relatives, and it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

In less than an hour, Liu Zhiwu hurriedly returned, looking nervous: "Captain, Mr. Wan is just afraid that he can't give squad leader Zhang a medical look." ”

Bai Shujie became a little anxious when he heard this: "What's the matter, you slowly make it clear!" ”

"That's right, in the past six months, the little devil has come to Mr. Wan. It seems that the old man Wan wants to give the emperor some home remedies for gunshot wounds and acupuncture methods, saying something to contribute to coexistence and common prosperity. The old man Wan is an ancestral medical skill, and he has always passed on his son to his daughter, how can he give it to the little devil. That's it, the maintenance committee has already issued an order that must be handed over before the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, otherwise the Wanjia family will not celebrate the New Year! ”

It is an open secret that little devils robbed the cultural heritage of China. Let Bai Shujie personally encounter it today, and immediately laughed angrily: "Hehe, the little devil is extremely arrogant, it seems that he hasn't killed enough!" What did Mr. Wan say, what did he mean? ”

Liu Zhiwu patted his head, and then said: "Mr. Wan said that if Mr. Wan gives people a medical treatment, then he must concentrate and not be half-hearted. He said that now his heart is unstable, and he is in chaos, and it is impossible to see the sick. Let's hurry and don't waste time here. ”

I don't know Mr. Wan's specific thoughts, Bai Shujie can't make up his mind: "If you go back now, just ask Mr. Wan directly, how can he see the disease, and then come back and report it quickly!" ”

When Liu Zhiwu returned again, the sky had already begun to darken, and Bai Shujie hurriedly asked, "What did Mr. Wan say?" ”

Liu Zhiwu said in a low voice: "Mr. Wan said that he has accumulated virtue and done good deeds all his life, and he can't let the old family break his roots. If he could take his eldest son and daughter out first, and ensure their safety, he would have been sick. Otherwise, it's all about it! ”

Bai Shujie waved his right hand: "Since this is the case, then hurry up and lead the way, and we will go down now!" I have agreed to all the conditions of Mr. Wan Lao, and now it is important to save people! ”

Not long after, a small courtyard appeared in Bai Shujie's sight. Looking down condescendingly, the small manor was surrounded by a dry earthen wall. Inside is a blue tile house with two entrances and backs, and there is a small square from the wall, and there are some dustpans placed in the corridors of the wings on both sides, which seem to be all kinds of herbs.

When he came to the gate of the courtyard, Liu Jufu was already waiting there, also full of anxiety.

Bai Shujie simply tidied up the clothes on his body, and then said: "A few of you help Erleng down and move here, and at the same time keep the machine gun on guard in the courtyard gate." Uncle, please take me in to meet Mr. Wan! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
