I got up early the next morning and had a severe headache, which was a sequelae of drunkenness, dry mouth and tongue, so I drank a large glass of water.

Finally it relieved a little.

"Brother, you're awake." Yang Fan pushed the door and came in from outside. Seeing that Luo Yao had woken up, he said with joy.

"Well, how are you preparing?" Luo Yao nodded.

"It's almost done, I'm waiting for you to order to leave." Yang Fan explained.

"Just wait for me alone?" Luo Yao was stunned for a moment and said quickly, "What are you waiting for? Tell everyone, and set off immediately."

"yes!"

"Team Leader Fang, Team Leader Fang..." Luo Yao washed up briefly and prepared the small building. Wei Zhiming ran in.

"Staff General Wei, is there anything wrong?"

"I just got the news that heavy rain suddenly fell in Ankang and other areas upstream of the Han River, and the river water surged. If you want to go directly to Shaanxi from the waterway, it may not be possible!" Wei Zhiming said.

"Ah!" Luo Yao said in surprise. This was something he did not expect. Going upstream from the Han River and taking a boat into Shaanxi was one of the reasons he chose.

Unexpectedly, a heavy rain upstream completely blocked the plan, so there was no choice but to go by land.

It is necessary to take a traverse by land, and it is impossible to walk hundreds of kilometers more, and it is not possible to travel for three or five days if you don’t have an extra trip.

"Then there is no choice, I can only go by land." Luo Yao shook his head helplessly.

"Yes, if you can wait, you can wait until this heavy rain passes before leaving?" Wei Zhiming suggested.

"I'm afraid it won't work. If the rain keeps falling, we can't leave." Luo Yao shook his head.

"Then you can only go by land."

"That's all!" Luo Yao nodded helplessly.

Prepare, all the equipment is loaded with a pack horse, wrapped in waterproof tart cloth, as well as everyone's luggage, tents, dry food, etc.

The team of thirty people is not small.

There were two special people in the team, one was the captured Yoshizawa Yagyu, who was placed in a specially made car.

The other Zhang Yuanliang was treated a little better. He did not lose all his freedom like Yoshizo Yayoi, but he was also handcuffed.

Outside the town, on the road north, Li Haihuai brought people to see Luo Yao off. He also saw Tan Xin in the team. He is now Li Haihuai's man.

Huangxue Village representative Li Delin also came here.

"Brother Youning, I don't know when I will see you again after this farewell." Li Haihuai said with emotion.

"Brother Haihuai returns to the mountain city to report his work. We will see you again then." Luo Yao smiled.

"Yes, hahaha!"

"Goodbye, take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself!"

"Get on the horse and set off!" Luo Yao waved his hand, and the whole team slowly started, heading forward along the main road, and embarked on the road back to the mountain city.

When you come, you take the water route and when you go back, you take the land route, which is not a way back.

In order to save animal strength, the team is not moving fast. Moreover, the weather is hot and sweats a lot. If you hurry too fast, people and livestock may be prone to heatstroke.

Go north, towards Nanyang, then turn west, and walk through the narrow passage between Funiu Mountain and the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains into Shaanxi.

On the first night, we arrived at Xinye accommodation.

In this battle, China and Japan fought repeatedly. After several changes of hands, they lost it again. After the war, Xinye City was full of broken walls and devastated.

Although Shinno was finally recovered by the National Army, he was also seriously injured. If he wanted to restore the previous prosperous and lively life, he would probably not be able to do it in just a few years.

"Tiger, after dinner, let everyone rest early. We will arrive in Neixiang tomorrow and set off at dawn!" Luo Yao ordered Yang Fan.

"Okay, brother." Yang Fan agreed and went out to pass the order.

"Lao Yan, we will leave the Fifth War Zone tomorrow. Everyone should be careful when speaking and don't have any quarrels with the locals. We should focus on tolerance." Luo Yao called Yang Si, Wen Xueren and others to his room and gave him a message.

"I know, there are some commanders in Wanxi. We have to walk from other people's ground along the way." Yang Si smiled.

"Well, these local emperors, we should avoid them if we can, and give in as much as we can. Anyway, we are passers-by." Luo Yao said.

"yes."

"Yiming, report your family safety, just leave two people on duty at the radio station, and everyone else will sleep for me." Luo Yao ordered Wen Xueren.

"Okay, team leader."

"It's nothing, let's break up."

1. There is nothing to do at night, so you get up the next day when you are bright and you will get up. When the weather is cold, you will rest when the sun comes up, so that people and livestock can feel more comfortable.

The breakfast was steamed buns and porridge. Although it was not very rich, it was full, which was better than most people.

When I entered Wanxi, the road was relatively easy to walk. It was not damaged by the Japanese army, and the living standards of the people were obviously better.

The road is easy to walk, but the speed of rushing is much faster.

I plan to arrive in Neixiang within one day. Now it seems that it will not be too difficult to achieve this plan.

In the evening, the team entered Neixiang County. It was much lively here than Xinye City. There were more pedestrians on the street, the clothes the people wore were much better, and the complexion on their faces was also different.

The commander of Wanxibe really has a trick under his rule. Luo Yao was not interested in these things, they were just passers-by.

Luo Yao and others have a lot of people, and there are many pack horses, but they have caused some small trouble when they go to the city to pay taxes.

The tax collector wanted to check the goods and greetings carried by Luo Yao and others. Of course, this was not possible. The greetings carried by them were all radio communication equipment and weapons. How could these be shown to others?

Fortunately, they had a pass issued by Li Delin, which played a key role. When the tax collectors saw such a high-level pass, they did not dare to deal with it. They immediately reported it to the Joint Defense Command of the Thirteen County Counties in Wanxi.

Soon, a command to release came down.

The commander and Li Delin have a good relationship with each other. When they see that it is a pass issued by Li Delin himself, it is naturally tax-free.

Luo Yao did not think about going to pay homage to the Emperor of Wanxi. Instead, the commander sent someone over there. When he knew that Luo Yao and his party were just passing by Wanxi, he also sent a letter to Cheng Yi.

Luo Yao naturally refused to accept money for no reason. After refusing, the people waived their food and accommodation costs in Neixiang.

Luo Yao had no choice but to be able to refuse his kindness. If he didn't accept it, he would be disrespectful. He knew that he had nothing to do with him because of Li Delin's face.

After a good night in Neixiang, Yang Fan also bought some missing supplies and continued to rush to Xixia early the next morning.

Two days later, the team arrived at Wuguan in Shaanxi, and the scene here was completely different from that in Wanxi.

Shaanxi is Jiang Dingwen's territory. This person has a very old experience and is a student of Huangpu. He is highly valued by the old man.

This time his student is different from those who were admitted to Huangpu. When he entered Huangpu, he had already become a colonel's staff officer. When he entered Huangpu, he was the district captain of the first and second teams. However, this person is greedy for money and afraid of death, but he has some talent in commanding and fighting, and is known as the "Flying General".

Luo Yao has no relationship with such a territorial official, and he will not rush to hug the other party's big legs.

If he wants to hug his big legs, it would be better to hug the old man directly.

However, there is another person in the Eighth War Zone, who must meet, that is Hu Yisheng, the commander-in-chief of the 34th Army. He is not only the old man's favorite disciple, but also the sworn brother of his own boss Dai.

Among Hu Yisheng's army, many military commanders served in it. Among the people who graduated from the training class, several of them went to Hu Yisheng's command.

Dai Yunong and Hu Yisheng have a good relationship, which is well known.

Hu Yisheng's General Command of the 34th Army was located in Shangluo (made up). It happened to be on the way back to Sichuan. After passing by, he didn't say hello or was not very polite.

Hu Yisheng obviously knew that Luo Yao was passing by, Dai Yunong said hello to him, and he knew as soon as Luo Yao's team entered Shangluo City.

Luo Yao planned to rest in Shangluo for half a day before setting off, so after settling down, he changed into military uniforms and took Yang Fan and the other two to the 34th Army General Headquarters to submit a letter to ask for a meeting.

He didn't know if Hu Yisheng was here or whether he would see him. Anyway, according to etiquette, he had come and the etiquette was enough.

"Team Leader Fang, Chief Hu is invited!" The famous post was thrown in. After a moment, a major officer came out and invited him in very politely.

Luo Yao quickly sorted out his military uniform, told Yang Fan, and walked in with the major officer.

He had seen Hu Yisheng, otherwise he would not have come to visit him rashly.

"Hello, Chief Hu!"

"Youning is here, sit down. Yunnong called me the day before yesterday and told me that you would pass by Shaanxi and then return to the mountain city." Hu Yisheng was not tall, wearing a lieutenant general uniform, half a head shorter than Luo Yao, but he looked gentle and kind, and looked like a Confucian general.

"It's causing trouble for Chief Hu."

"No trouble, what can this cause trouble?" Hu Yisheng smiled, "Have the team settled?"

"A big car shop in the west of the city is large and spacious, just enough to live in."

"Okay." Hu Yisheng nodded, "Do you have a meal? If not, I'll ask you to cook a few dishes for you and let's have a drink. When I was in the mountain city, I wanted to talk to you about the security of secret communications, but I don't have this opportunity."

"I'll follow the arrangements of Chief Hu!" Luo Yao nodded.

"That's right." Hu Yisheng called the adjutant in, gave an order, and then pulled Luo Yao to discuss the security of secret telecommunications.

Of course, Hu Yisheng was more interested in the battle between the Fifth War Zone and the 11th Japanese Army in northwestern Hubei for the past month and a half.

Luo Yao is a witness, and this presentation is much more detailed than what you know from the battle report. Many details will not be mentioned in the battle report, but details are the key to victory or defeat.
