Independence Corps

Chapter 3
This news was too unexpected and shocking!No one thought that the 43rd brigade would retreat at this time.The thought that was suppressed by Shen Mengzi just came up again, could it be that Tu Lanlong also heard Liu Mi'er's movements?
"Will there be fraud?" Bai Jianjiang asked cautiously for a long time.His pair of lion eyes are protruding, and his two ears are erected cleverly like a rabbit.This is Bai Jianjiang, once he tenses up, every part of his body will move.

No one answered him, and no one dared to affirm, let alone deny.The battle was fought in a fog, and the usual old formulas didn't work.

"Go, have a look!" After a moment of silence, Shen Mengzi grabbed his military cap and said.

Several people followed Shen Mengzi, walked out of the cave, and walked towards the Sixth Battalion's defensive area.Before he had walked a hundred steps, he heard the voice of Lan Xiaoshi, commander of the Sixth Battalion.

"I said that the big bosses are scared. I said they will escape, but you still don't believe it."

Shen Mengzi strode over to meet Lan Xiaoshi: "How is the situation?"

Lan Xiaoshi took off his military cap, wiped his sweat, and said, "That guy in Gou Guitang who peed his pants is no match for my independent regiment. No, the son of a turtle has become a grandson, and he slipped away in the dark." There was an uncontrollable triumph in the voice.Gou Guitang is the commander of the 11rd Brigade of the 43th Group Army. In the earliest days, he and Lan Xiaoshi were in the same unit carrying guns and eating food.What Lan Xiaoshi said about peeing his pants was the real story of Gou Guitang when he was a soldier and went to the battlefield for the first time.At that time, Chief Yan's Department and General Fu's Department where they were located fought due to a misunderstanding. Before the guns were fired, the recruit Gou Guitang peed his pants. Later, it was Lan Xiaoshi who carried him off the battlefield.

"Lao Lan, don't be careless." Shen Mengzi reminded.

"Don't worry, master, I Lan Xiaoshi is not a pig's brain. Gou Guitang really withdrew, abandoned his position, and took away his guns, but what is puzzling is, why didn't Huang Xiaofeng step up?"

Huang Xiaofeng is the brigade commander of the 112th brigade. He is a student of the Whampoa Military Academy like Tu Lanlong, and he is younger than Tu Lanlong.

"Could it be that Tu has a new idea?" Shen Mengzi seemed to be talking to himself.

"Maybe, I think it must be that there is good news from Political Commissar Bi. As long as Mr. Tan kicks Tu's foot in the back, the surnamed Tu will definitely not be able to take care of the future." The change of Zhizhi was attributed to Bi Chuanyun.Shen Mengzi didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes, he asked Lao Luan to accompany Lan Xiaoshi to continue to observe closely at the forward position, then pulled Bai Jianjiang by himself, and took a shortcut to the direction of Qi Nu Peak.

The two walked a few steps forward, when Bai Jianjiang suddenly grabbed him: "Master, tell me the truth, did Liu Mier come to support us?"

Shen Mengzi was startled, he didn't want to hide anything from Bai Jianjiang, those lion eyes are poisonous!But he still didn't dare to admit it: "It's really such a good thing, you and I will burn the incense." His tone was either happy or sad.

"I think it looks like this, otherwise, Tu Lanlong would have no reason to retreat." Bai Jianjiang said again.

Shen Mengzi didn't speak this time, he was anxious to prove something, he walked fast, Bai Jianjiang chased after him to keep up.The night was already very thick, and the blood on the land scorched by the artillery fire was so thick that it was astonishingly thick. The night air was wrapped in a pungent stench and the stench of corpses, making it difficult to breathe.The two men rushed forward like jumping rabbits, their footsteps seemed more flexible than usual, but their mood was heavier than the night.As he walked, a face flashed unstoppably in Shen Mengzi's mind.

It was a wild face, at first glance, she didn't look like a woman, like any soldier Shen Mengzi had ever seen, she was full of boldness, not only boldness, but also a murderous look.However, Shen Mengzi felt that that face was so different.She is a beauty, Shen Mengzi sighed.When I was a teenager, I went out to travel, 42 counties in seven provinces, and stepped on more than half of China. I have seen countless women. No woman left a special impression on him. I can’t throw it away. thought.It happened to be a bandit woman, but he remembered it.Not only to remember, but also to her in this heart...

Fuck!What time is this, and I still think of women in my heart!Shen Mengzi shook his head violently, trying to drive away this bastard idea, but who knows, the face that was hidden in the sky like a dark moon just now became clear in an instant, jumping alive in front of his eyes .Eyebrows, eyes, the beauty hidden behind the murderous look, the charm spoiled by the long-term obscenity, and the sweetness of giggling, and the rare ease on the face after playing a prank...

Evil door!

Shen Mengzi finally knew that it was very difficult to get rid of this woman in his mind on this moonlit night when the artillery fire temporarily stopped and the gunshots would ring out without knowing when.Simply, he thought about it wildly, and after thinking about it, he realized that he could hide women in his heart!
It was a day in the twelfth lunar month. Bi Chuanyun and Shi Run were ordered to report back to the brigade headquarters. The 43rd brigade at the foot of the mountain seemed to want them to have a good year, and the gunfire suddenly stopped.Shen Mengzi handed over the troops to Bai Jianjiang and Lao Luan, took the scout four eyes and the guard squad, and quietly moved towards Qi Nu Peak.

This idea has been there for a long time. As soon as the team entered Huajialing, Shen Mengzi and Bai Jianjiang checked the surrounding mountain shapes and valleys, and their minds were caught by Qi Nufeng.In the entire Miliang Mountain, the most dangerous terrain is the Qinv Peak. Huajialing, where the 72nd regiment is located, looks good at first glance, and the terrain is dangerous enough.To the east of Huajialing is Liuji, guarded by the 12th division of Tu Zhucheng's ace division.Between Liuji and Miliang City, there is Guhe.Gu River is a branch of Nuer River, which flows from the west side of Miliang Mountain. When passing through Liuji, it suddenly diverges into two branches, one from west to east, and the other from south to north. The local people call these two branches the Red River.Wufengling and Liuji are just separated by Guhe.If the 12th Division launched an attack from Guhe, and the 43rd Brigade attacked Shen Mengzi and the others from the front, Huajialing would not only be unable to defend, but the 72nd Regiment would not even have a place to retreat. The reason why the 72nd regiment dared to station in Huajialing was because Bi Chuanyun and political commissar Bi firmly believed that the 12th division would turn against him, but Shen Mengzi had no idea.Shen Mengzi has never believed that there is any army in the world that would easily turn against others, let alone that with a good tongue, one can take over a division from others.The political commissar Bi Chuanyun believed in this kind of myth, and Shi Run also believed it, and they believed it for a good reason, because they had Shen Mengzi as a living example.

It is very painful for others to be role models, Shen Mengzi buried this pain deeply in his heart and never revealed it to anyone.Whether it is innocence or ideals, that is the business of Bi Chuanyun and political commissar Bi, and has nothing to do with him.He is a person who leads soldiers to fight, and he is born to believe in only one sentence, and the barrel of a gun speaks.Also, you have to find a way out at any time, because if people have no way out, they will go straight to the dark.The army has no way out, and you don't even know what's going on if someone hacks you.Shen Mengzi's greatest success in bringing the independent group to the present is that he can find a way out at any time.

Of course, the disastrous defeat that led to the incorporation of the 312 brigade was an exception. That time he made Chief Yan and Tu Lanlong blackmailed.

Such a stupid thing can only be done once in a lifetime, Shen Mengzi does not want to make a second mistake.

After inspecting the mountain shape, he told Bai Jianjiang that the only thing that can be trusted in Miliang Mountain is Qinv Peak.Bai Jianjiang chuckled and said, "Okay, master, I didn't expect you to see the way when you first arrived in Miliang." Bai Jianjiang is an authentic Miliang man, and now his old father is still in Miliang City, but this It has nothing to do with him beating Tu Lanlong.Like Shen Mengzi, Bai Jianjiang also left home in his teens to wander around. The only difference is that Shen Mengzi did it voluntarily, while Bai Jianjiang was taken away by soldiers.Shen Mengzi started out as a bandit, and Bai Jianjiang was a real soldier from the beginning.

"If you can take down the eighteenth hole of Qinvfeng, even if the planes and tanks come, we will have nothing to do with our 72nd regiment." Bai Jianjiang said with a little show off.

After Shen Mengzi heard it, he felt confident.These eighteen holes must be won.

Just working with the 11th Army, relying on Huajialing and Wufengling, there is no problem with him for a while.The problem is that the Japanese are about to attack, and what Shen Mengzi has to prepare is how to fight to the death with the Japanese devils at Miliang Mountain.

Little son of a bitch, this time, I will let you come and go!
The weather was fine that day, and the warm winter sun shone warmly on the mountains. For the first time, the mountains that had been baptized by artillery fire appeared calmly and serenely in his vision.Shen Mengzi led the guard squad and walked on the winding mountain road with a surge of emotion.In his heart, Shen Mengzi was unwilling to fight Tu Lanlong at the foot of the mountain. This was a meaningless war. Including those battles he participated in with General Fu before, 80.00% of them were random fights.The only thing that excites him is having sex with Little Japan.Shen Mengzi didn't understand the true meaning of war at first, thinking that as long as he is a man, as long as he walks on this path, he should pick up a knife and gun and charge forward without hesitation.Later, he gradually wondered, what's the difference between fighting like this and being a bandit?It's nothing more than bandits wanting to grab a mountain and become king, General Fu and the others snatch bigger, and naturally more blood is shed, it's all blood from their own family.There is also a rule of thumb for being a bandit. If you have no grievances or enmity, you will not rob.Those who have kindness and righteousness in the past will repay kindness with kindness, and return righteousness with righteousness.If it is stated in advance that the well water does not interfere with the river water, walk around when you see the road.General Fu and the others no, they are friends today, and they will be jealous tomorrow.We were still called brothers and sisters together yesterday, but today it's white knives in and red knives out.These people don't know the rules, Shen Mengzi once laughed at them like that.Later, I felt that I was superficial and too self-sufficient. Who are General Fu and the others?Later, he realized that no matter whether it is a warlord, a high official, or a bandit who occupies a mountain as a king, in fact, there is a word "king" in his heart.In this world, everyone wants to be king, everyone wants to dominate, and everyone wants to impose their will on others, so the world is not peaceful. It is lust, greed, and tyranny.What flows out between the knives is blood, the lives of those who are controlled by thoughts, innocent, even ignorant.

This kind of thinking tortured Shen Mengzi for a long time. During that time, Shen Mengzi was in extreme pain. He was so painful that he didn't want to use a knife or a gun anymore. He wanted to take off this armor and go back to his hometown naked to be a grass farmer, farming or fishing. , in short, as long as you can pass the day away.But at that time, he met a person who, like Bai Jianjiang, affected his life.It was he who helped him open the door that imprisoned his thoughts, and it was he who helped him untie the rope that bound him deep in his thoughts.The man made him understand that war is war, and sometimes it is unreasonable.Since then, Shen Mengzi has a new understanding of war.Shen Mengzi's later progress in thought was directly related to this person.

This person has no name. When Shen Mengzi knew him, he only knew that he was Lao Qi, and some people called him Seventh Brother.

Shen Mengzi hadn't seen Lao Qi for a long time.

While thinking about Lao Qi, Shen Mengzi went to Qi Nu Peak.His purpose of going to Qi Nu Peak that day was very simple, just to see if he could find a place to stand if he wanted to retreat to this area one day in the future.Also, how steep are the eighteen caves that Bai Jianjiang mentioned.Why did Tu Lanlong and the bandit Liu Mier turn a blind eye to such a mysterious cave?
Unexpectedly, when he walked into the first hole, he got lost.When he stumbled and ran out following a hare, Shen Mengzi was surprised to find that he was ambushed by Liu Mi'er!

There is no time to recall the past, even if there is a whole pot of honey left in that part of the past!

Besides, Shen Mengzi still can't decide whether the encounter with Liu Mi'er is an affair or not?Although Shen Mengzi is in his thirties, he has no experience with women.Take Bai Jianjiang's words, he is good at dealing with enemies, and he is not afraid of any amount, but he is an amateur when dealing with women.

The word "Liu Mi'er" popped up by chance and tossed him a little or two. If he was asked to savor or chew carefully, he didn't have the time or the patience.Furthermore, Bai Jianjiang, the deputy head of the group, did not agree.As soon as Shen Mengzi slowed down, Bai Jianjiang, who was walking in front, rushed up: "Master, hurry up, are you getting stuck in your mind again?" Shen Mengzi laughed dryly, and followed closely a few steps forward.

The two met in the flames of war ten years ago, and now they have almost talked about everything. Shen Mengzi thanked God for giving him such a good brother Bai Jianjiang.Let him feel that there are so many things worth nostalgic in life in life and death.

"Jianjiang, do you think this woman will come here?" Shen Mengzi asked.

"That's not right, haven't you heard that she has eighteen transformations?" Bai Jianjiang said.

"Eighteen changes, eighteen holes, where do you get so many eighteen?"

"You don't understand this. Eighteen is an auspicious number in Miliang mountainous area, and whoever sells it will take advantage of it."

"Then we are the 18th Army, so we are taking advantage of it." Shen Mengzi said with a smile.Although the war is threatening, Shen Mengzi still tries his best to enjoy it when he can.

"Don't dream, this has nothing to do with the 18th Army." Bai Jianjiang said, and jumped across a ditch in front of him.Shen Mengzi jumped over, tripped and almost fell.Bai Jianjiang gave him a hand, Shen Mengzi said: "You still have lumps in your heart."

What Shen Mengzi said was referring to the recruitment incident. After being recruited by the 18th Group Army, Bai Jianjiang did not speak for more than a month. If he hadn't thought about his relationship with Shen Mengzi, he might have left the team long ago. The 72nd regiment asked Brigadier Tang Peisen to send him to Miliang Mountain, and Bai Jianjiang was full of complaints.In front of Bi Chuanyun, how much control do you have, as long as you are alone with Shen Mengzi, you can't stop your complaints.

"You're thinking too much, now you don't have time to worry about that." Bai Jianjiang said, pulling Shen Mengzi violently, "Listen, there is movement ahead!"

The two of them bent down quickly, clung to the hillside, and listened carefully. Shen Mengzi really heard the faint sound of footsteps.

"It seems to be withdrawn?" he said.

Bai Jianjiang listened for a while, got up, and patted the dirt on his body: "That's right, it's withdrawn."

The place where they are is still far away from Qi Nu Peak, and there are at least two ditches between them, but no matter how far away, their ears can clearly distinguish each other's footsteps.This is kung fu!During their military career, they practiced a lot of unique kung fu. Without these unique skills, they would not be able to live today.

The two of them walked forward a few more steps. Just as Shen Mengzi was about to leap onto a dirt bag, the sound of close footsteps came from ahead, followed by a black shadow walking towards this side.Bai Jianjiang pulled out his gun suddenly, Shen Mengzi stopped him: "Don't mess around, it's four eyes."

A few minutes later, a black shadow appeared in front of him, it was indeed a thin young man with four eyes, with a cloth belt tied around his waist.The cloth belt is his protective treasure, and there are several hidden weapons hidden in it.

"Captain, it's you guys." After recognizing Shen Mengzi and Bai Jianjiang, the four-eyed voice became excited.

"How's the situation ahead?" Shen Mengzi asked anxiously.

"Withdrew back, they don't seem to be running here for a sneak attack." Four Eyes wiped away the sweat.

"All withdrawn?" Shen Mengzi asked again.

"All were withdrawn. They sent ten boxes of ammunition and more than 20 guns." Four Eyes said happily.

"Really?" Shen Mengzi was shocked, the news was too unexpected.

"Where's the thing?" Bai Jianjiang on the side was also startled by the unexpected news, and asked suspiciously.

"I'll let Yichuan watch." Four Eyes said.After finishing speaking, he felt puzzled again, and asked, "Commander, why is the bandit woman doing this, thinking of sending us ammunition?"

"Young bandit woman is long and bandit woman is short, she has a name!" Shen Mengzi said harshly.Four Eyes stuck out his tongue in the dark night, everyone shouted that, and he followed suit, he was negligent for a moment, and even forgot that he was in front of the regiment leader.

Bai Jianjiang on the side smiled secretly, pretending to be serious and said: "They are called Hongfen Tuan, and from now on, they will be called Tuan Zhang."

"Yes!" Four Eyes clearly knew that there was something in Bai Jianjiang's words, but he stood at attention seriously and shouted loudly.

Shen Mengzi ignored him, this matter was too strange, for a while, he still couldn't turn the corner.

Both Shen Mengzi and Bai Jianjiang underestimated Liu Mier.Liu Mi'er secretly sent the Tiger Battalion and the Machine Gun Team across the Red Shuigou, the purpose is to let Tu Lanlong know that the red powder regiment of Niangniang Mountain intends to reinforce the 72nd regiment.Liu Mi'er predicted that as long as Tu Lanlong got the information, he would choose to withdraw his troops in all likelihood.He is not a fool. If the Red Fan Group really joins hands with the 72nd Group, even if he, Tu Lanlong, has 43 soldiers and wants the rice grain city to be peaceful, that would be empty talk.Tu Lanlong was really smart. Before Liu Mi'er's machine gun team and Tiger Battalion arrived at Qinv Peak, the [-]rd Brigade under Wufengling retreated quietly.When Liu Mi'er heard the news, she laughed triumphantly.A vicious battle with arrows on the string, let her make such a light movement, and it was resolved silently.

According to her instructions, the Tiger Camp and the Machine Gun Team waited until the 43rd Brigade had completely withdrawn and the 112th Brigade by the river retreated a few hundred meters before returning back along the original road without anyone noticing.Of course, it is not easy to cross the Red Shuigou, so we have to leave some gifts for the 72nd regiment.Liu Mi'er left some of the machine guns and ammunition seized from Tu Lanlong's 52nd Brigade two months ago to Shen Mengzi.She believed that Shen Mengzi would be shocked when he saw these gifts.

That's what she wanted.She is facing two men now, and these two men may become enemies or friends at any time, it depends on how they treat her, and it also depends on how the situation in Miliangshan develops.Before she could come to a definite judgment, she would confuse them and keep them bewildered.

To be a bandit is to have the wisdom to be a bandit. Liu Mier ruled the mountains and became king for more than ten years. The old commander Tu Zhucheng had no choice but to sign a gentleman's agreement with her. Give her red powder a little sweetness.What she relies on is the wisdom of women.

This is really a miracle. In the middle of the night, the crisis faced by the 72nd regiment was not only resolved, but also a batch of guns and ammunition were harvested by accident.Not to mention how happy Shen Mengzi was, he sent someone to bring back the gift from Liu Mi'er overnight.The war has loosened up a little bit, and next, we have to think about what to do next.
