Since the commander-in-chief and the others will not return to the mountains for a while, Yu Chenglong has to take on the responsibility of managing and taking care of the brothers in the mountains, but he still can't let go of his thoughts about the commander-in-chief and the others.
The brothers who were sent to the mountains to inquire about the news came back one after another, but they did not get accurate information from the commander-in-chief and the others. They only got some information from newspapers in Manchukuo.
Newspapers boasted that the Manchurian Liberation Army had been completely wiped out at Tianyaoling, with only a few bandit leaders escaping for their lives. Judging from this, the commander-in-chief, navy captain, commander Xiao and others have not died in the battle or been captured alive.
Although Yu Chenglong was very anxious, the commander-in-chief and the others seemed to be out of danger, which gave him some relief. At present, he could only hide in the mountains with his brothers and wait for news from the commander-in-chief and the others.
Yu Chenglong judged that the three of them might still be together, hiding in a secret place. Although this place is relatively safe, it is inconvenient to move around, otherwise I would have no faith at all.
But this hidden place will definitely not be in the mountains, it will probably be in the city. Could it be that some of them were seriously injured? Yu Chenglong still couldn't let go.
After staying in hiding in the secret camp for a few days, the secret sentry sent out also came back to report that the direction of Erdaoweizi was very safe, and there was no movement yet.
Yu Chenglong thought that the little devil might also think that his team was also in Tianyaoling and was wiped out together.
But then I thought about it, and it was impossible. I took my brothers to Bali City to grab food. There was such a big commotion. How could the little Japs not know about it? Why didn’t I see any movement from the Japs?
After much thought, Yu Chenglong ordered Deputy Commander Zhang to leave the secret camp again and take his brothers to transport back all the food hidden in Erdaoweizi and store it in the mountains.
It took more than a hundred people nearly a month to transport all the food into the secret camp. Yu Chenglong sent people to deliver food to the other two secret camps.
And let the brothers sent there learn about the news from their side. If the Central Route Army and the Left Route Army still don't know the news about the commander-in-chief and them, let those brothers continue to hide and standby.
Ask the brothers sent out to tell them that the commander-in-chief has ordered that after the heavy snow seals the mountains, the secret camps are not allowed to go out of the mountains, nor are they allowed to contact each other, and they are hidden and on standby.
A few days later, several brothers who sent food delivery came back and reported that neither the two secret camps knew the news about the commander-in-chief and the other three people. We told the two secret camp brothers what Commander Yu said, and they agreed. Excuting an order.
After the heavy snow closed the mountain, it was almost the twelfth lunar month. The brothers who were waiting for news in Toudaoliang received the news from the commander-in-chief and the others and hurried into the mountain to report.
"The commander-in-chief, the navy commander, and Commander Xiao have all successfully escaped the Japanese pursuit. Currently, the three of them are leading their brothers to hide in a secret location.
The environment they are currently in is very safe, please don't worry, Commander Yu. The commander-in-chief instructed that he knew the situation of Commander Yu and his brothers.
The commander-in-chief asked Commander Yu to take charge of the brothers in the mountains on his behalf and to wait and see for the time being. He will notify us at any time if anything happens.
Tell us to stay safe in the mountains, not to look for them, and not to worry about their safety. The commander-in-chief will send someone to contact us after the Chinese New Year. "
After hearing the report, Yu Chenglong felt relieved. He asked the brother who went into the mountain to report to continue to go out and wait for news from the commander-in-chief and the others.
He also asked him not to take the initiative to contact the commander-in-chief and the others, but to wait for the commander-in-chief to send someone to contact him. It seemed that the commander-in-chief and the others also had their own difficulties.
Instruct the brothers who enter the mountain to choose a good path when leaving the mountain and leave no traces. There is no need to enter the mountain casually without important information.
After sending away the brothers who had come to report the situation in the mountains, Yu Chenglong once again arranged for the team in the mountains to be more completely hidden and no longer took any action.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Yu Chenglong asked his brothers to kill several emaciated horses. He sent four more brothers to the other two secret camps to bring them some delicious New Year food.
At the same time, he told the four brothers that they did not need to come back for the time being, and asked them to celebrate the New Year with the brothers from the two secret camps of the Left Route Army and the Center Route Army, and then come back after the first month.
"When you send these things over, say that they are the care sent by the Commander-in-Chief, Navy Commander, and Commander Xiao, and tell the brothers that the Commander-in-Chief, Navy Commander, and Commander Xiao are all safe. They are now recruiting troops outside the mountains to start spring. Bring it back together.
After you get there, have a good chat with them, don't let the brothers be too depressed, and let the brothers be in a good mood during the Chinese New Year.
Tell the brothers there that the Commander-in-Chief, Navy Commander, and Commander Xiao will come to Huishan after the first month of the year, so that they don't waste their military training.
During this period, we must improve our physical fitness and be in high spirits to welcome the return of the commander-in-chief and others. You have a heavy responsibility here, so you must complete the task well! "
The four of them took the order and left in a hurry. The remaining brothers, led by Jackie Chan, were training in secret while preparing for the New Year.
It should be said that Yu Chenglong and his brothers spent a fairly prosperous New Year in the mountains. Although it was not lively, it was still reasonable.
The brothers in the secret camp, ranging from a few to more than a dozen people, gathered together, eating and playing, and felt at ease and in a good mood.
In addition to complying with the requirements of the military commander, who was not allowed to join the camp casually, the brothers who lived in their secret camp also had a lot of fun.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yu Chenglong ordered each battalion to stop entertainment and start training their own troops, and sent people to conduct regular inspections to ensure the effectiveness of the training.
More than a hundred brothers live scattered and hidden in six places. The farthest ones are six or seven miles apart, and the closer ones are three or four miles apart.
Yu Chenglong and Deputy Commander Zhang go on inspection tours every day. One is to maintain constant communication, and more importantly, they inspect and guide the training of the brothers.
"The weather is about to get warm, and the commander-in-chief and the others may be back soon. I estimate that the commander-in-chief will probably contact us in the near future, and we may have to go out to greet them by then.
Tianyaoling suffered a heavy blow this time, and the brothers couldn't keep their spirits up all winter. Now, in addition to strengthening military training, they also have to find ways to improve morale and give the commander-in-chief and others a good comfort. "
While walking on the road, Yu Chenglong chatted with Deputy Commander Zhang Daoxian. He knew that Deputy Commander Zhang Daoxian had been in a very low mood this winter and wanted to take the opportunity to persuade him.
“Now we have a total of 160 or 70 brothers in the mountains, which is too few manpower, and there are only about 30 people in the Central Route Army and the Left Route Army respectively.
It is not possible to continue like this. It will be difficult to improve the morale of the brothers. Even if the commander-in-chief and others come back, it will be difficult for them to go out to fight against the little devils with only such a small number of manpower.
It would have been better to disperse and evacuate Tianyaoling earlier. There were some mistakes in decision-making, and the retreat was not timely enough, which resulted in the death of more than 200 brothers. It is really worrying! "
