319. Attack the flat-topped fortress

Because he was worried that the interspersed troops would not be able to successfully insert behind the enemy, and at the same time wanted to see where the entrance and exit were that Tang Hongyi said, Bai Shujie quickly finished eating, and then rushed to Tang Hongyi's starting point with Wang Xinlan and a squad of guard soldiers.

It is a small enclosed courtyard, which is not bounded by the surrounding area, which seems very isolated but conducive to secrecy. Inside is like a relatively large quadrangle, and Bai Shujie estimates that it is the station of the reconnaissance company directly under the 12th Regiment.

The moment he entered the courtyard gate, Bai Shujie's heart jerked, and a huge tingling sensation suddenly hit his whole body! Immediately after that, Wang Xinlan directly reached out to cover her mouth, and began to sobb silently.

It turned out that all the commandos had been concentrated in the courtyard, and all 159 people were packed up and stood there neatly, Tang Hongyi and Zhong Guitang were doing inspections one by one. The 161 men were all dressed in the same attire, wearing tights, and all the cuffs were pierced. Two pistols were stuck in his waist, two grenades were hung, and a bundle of string was hung diagonally over his shoulder.

What shocked Bai Shujie and Wang Xinlan was because these 161 people strangled their mouths with a white cloth belt! In other words, these warriors are all ready to sacrifice, and they are ready to die without making any sound! They will set out in silence, and they will be ready to die in silence!

Wang Xinlan was beside Bai Shujie and kept reciting a few words: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!" Yan Zhao has always been a strong man, and now he is brave and brave! ”

It took Tang Hongyi and Zhong Guitang half an hour to finally complete all the inspection work, and then stood at the front of the team and saluted Bai Shujie together.

"Brothers, you set out with the heart of death, but I am sure that you will all come back safely!" Bai Shujie said in a deep voice: "Because I believe that the results you have achieved in your usual hard training will be fully displayed in the battle." Coupled with the fact that you are all battle-hardened warriors, your rich combat experience will help you get through the difficulties! ”

"I once said that wherever the apes could reach, the scouts of our front army would be able to reach! Calm, resourceful, indomitable, brave and tenacious, this is what a scout is. Wang Xinlan just said a parting gift: Yan Zhao has always been a strong man, and now he is brave and brave! I look forward to your triumphant return, go! ”

Bai Shujie's voice is not high, but the penetrating power is not small, and the shock is even greater. A small interspersed sneak attack, the commander-in-chief actually came to see him off, and personally carried out the pre-war mobilization, these simple soldiers were already inexplicably excited.

The 161 people were also suddenly shocked, and they had a high fighting spirit in the midst of death, which is the effect that Bai Shujie needs! With a big war imminent, it is not enough for the soldiers to just hold on to the heart of death, they must have full confidence in order to be able to give full play to their personal potential and overcome all impossible difficulties.

With Bai Shujie's order, the interspersed commando team embarked on the journey. Bai Shujie and Wang Xinlan were not in a hurry, but stayed behind the team, looking at the terrain and landforms along the way.

It could have been possible to pass through the troop transport road of the Great Wall, because Dalingzhai belonged to the control area of the 12th Regiment. However, it was broad daylight, and for the sake of secrecy, Tang Hongyi did not choose this path. So less than three miles from the 12th Regiment's station, the assault team had already begun to enter the ridge, and then rushed south against the eastern root of the Great Wall.

Is there a road? Of course not! Not only is there no road, but there are thorns and weeds! Tang Hongyi took out a woodcutter from his waist to open the way first, and for the thorn bushes that could not pass, they were all "beheaded on the spot"!

It took three hours to arrive near Dalingzhai. Bai Shujie found that there was already a mess of rocks and clouds here, and broken bricks were everywhere. Judging by the remnants of the shape of the Great Wall, there should have been a majestic beacon tower here. Because although the building above is no longer tiled, it is still more than 20 meters high!

Tang Hongyi let the team hide in the dense forest, and he began to search along the root of the city wall alone. Because the weeds here are almost two people tall, Tang Hongyi plunged into it and disappeared. Bai Shujie also wanted to go in and have a look, but he didn't know how to find it, so he had to give up.

Soon after, the sound of moving rubble could be heard in the weeds ahead. After another half an hour, there was a "bang", and Tang Hongyi also came back quickly and beckoned to Bai Shujie.

Bai Shujie also got into the weeds as soon as he bowed, and advanced more than fifty meters along the root of the city wall, and finally found a stone more than two meters long, and there was a small hole with a diameter of more than sixty centimeters at the root of the city wall, which was obviously pulled out by Tang Hongyi just now.

Poking his head in, Bai Shujie finally understood that his previous estimate was correct, the Great Wall should have had a beacon tower in this place. Because of this small hole, it may be that when the top collapsed, a huge stone fell down and just smashed on the root of the wall, smashing the bricks of the city wall!

Bai Shujie did not hesitate and climbed directly into this small hole.

Sure enough, this place is inside the city wall, and it is the Tun Soldier Cave. Bai Shujie stood up and looked at it, it was about three meters five wide, fifteen meters long, and had an arched dome. There are steps left on the northern part of the castle wall, and it is believed that the castle wall can be accessed from here. It's a pity that it has been blocked by the collapsed gravel and broken bricks above.

There is an arched lookout on the west side, Bai Shujie took a closer look, and the Panjiakou City Tower was faintly visible in the northwest direction. The southwest direction is also a group of majestic mountains, reckless and vast. Slowly sticking his head out, Bai Shujie was suddenly startled!

There is indeed a cliff below! And this cliff is obviously caused by the collapse of the mountain, and the red bare rock is shocking! Bai Shujie felt that if the beacon tower here was not done well, it would collapse together at that time. It seems that this place should have had a major earthquake in history!

There is no doubt that the assault detachment was to climb out of this lookout hole and then make a detour south along the cliff, the whole length of which was more than five miles!

Li Bai's "Shu Road Difficulty" once described: "Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky!" The flight of the yellow crane is not yet passable, and the ape wants to spend his sorrow and climb! ”

Bai Shujie feels that this place is even more "difficult to cross the mountain", because the Shu Road is difficult, and there is still a way. This is a complete cliff, the road is in the sky, and there is absolutely no on the earth!

Raising his wrist and looking at the time, it was already half past six, and the sky had begun to darken. When the time for the warriors to set off, Bai Shujie couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat in his heart!

With the sound of Suosuo, the warriors had already come in one after another. Bai Shujie looked back and saw that the first batch of sixty people came in, and the leader was Tang Hongyi!

Now that everyone can't speak, Bai Shujie started with Tang Hongyi, hugged every warrior, and patted the warriors' backs vigorously. This is a silent encouragement, this is a warrior's farewell!

Tang Hongyi gave Bai Shujie a military salute, and then climbed out of the lookout. It was not the head that went out first, but the feet went out first, and the hands vigorously grabbed the wall tiles on both sides of the lookout hole.

In less than two minutes, Tang Hongyi had disappeared. However, the others did not act, but stood by in place. After about five minutes, Tang Hongyi came back and waved inside, and the soldiers climbed out one by one. Tang Hongyi was on the side to help, so the speed at which the soldiers went out was much faster than Tang Hongyi's before.

All 161 people went out, and it took an hour and a half before and after, and the time was already more than eight o'clock in the evening. Zuihou came in with Wang Xinlan and 18 people from the guard squad.

Wang Xinlan poked her head out, but it was pitch black outside, and she couldn't see anything: "They all set off?" ”

"They're all gone!" Bai Shujie also couldn't see anything, even if Wang Xinlan was close to him, he only heard his voice and couldn't see him: "Chang Bikuan, did they have the past?" Did Lamei's follow-up troops set off? ”

Wang Xinlan said in a low voice: "Chang Bikuan came after us, they went straight to the Taipingzhai Fortress, and now they should be close to the assault position." Lamei is different, they brought hundreds of war horses, passed from the east road, and it is estimated that they can reach the front of Xifengkou at three o'clock in the morning. ”

"Okay, let's keep up with it, so that we can grasp the progress of the battle in time." Bai Shujie took Wang Xinlan's hand and slipped out of the small hole, and it was already full of stars outside, and the majestic figure of the Great Wall could be vaguely seen. He took a deep breath, and then whispered to Wang Xinlan: "Pass it back, everyone stay quiet!" Hold the city wall with your right hand, one after the other, don't fall behind! ”

Press Bai Shujie and the others to rush to the fortress of the little devils in Taipingzhai, and don't mention it for the time being.

It is said that after Tang Hongyi took the soldiers out of the lookout hole of the Great Wall one by one, everyone grasped the protruding rock with both hands, stepped on the protruding rock less than the width of a palm, and moved south step by step. Fortunately, Bai Shujie equipped the reconnaissance company with a "handguard tiger claw", and he was able to barely move on this kind of cliff of nearly 90 degrees.

This kind of "handguard tiger claw" is a ninja stunt that has been passed down by the little devil: "wall climbing technique"! In other words, by using the "handguards and tiger claws" on the gloves to grasp the wall deeply, you can make your body hang in the air and cling to the wall! This is a "unique skill" that Bai Shujie figured out by himself when he was a special scout in his previous life, and then found an old blacksmith to create it. If you connect the handguard and tiger claw to the rope, you can do "flying eaves and walking on the wall"!

The advantage of climbing at night is that everyone doesn't know that there is an abyss under their feet, so that there will be no fear in their hearts for no reason, and it will be calmer. Therefore, many people who travel to Huashan, the most dangerous section is to get up at three o'clock in the morning and climb it.

Moving forward to a mountain col, where the Great Wall made a U-turn, the cliff caused by the landslide finally ended.

Tang Hongyi whispered to Zhong Guitang: "Lian Lian Commander Zhong, the locals in this place are called Xigou. We descended the ridge on the south side of the ravine, and we could see the flat-topped mountain over two ridges. With more than thirty miles to go to our destination, we tried to arrive at about two o'clock in the morning to launch an attack. I lead the way in front, and you prevent those left behind behind. ”

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