Chapter 67 The Battle of the Ancient Road (1)(1/2)

"Captain, how far is it to get there?" On the rugged mountain road, a 12-13-year-old boy trotted to Wang Chong's side and asked curiously.

Wang Chong said with a smile: "It's not far away. Just climb over the mountain in front and walk another four or five miles to get there."

A smile immediately appeared on the young man's face: "Really?"

"Of course, I can still lie to you."

Wang Zhong rubbed the young man's head, looked at the bulging luggage on his back that was almost as tall as him, and couldn't help but ask: "Don't you feel heavy carrying so many things?"

"Heavy?"

"It's not heavy!" The young man said with a smile, "I can carry this little thing and run!"

The young man's face was not red and he was out of breath. He was wearing badly worn straw sandals under his feet. The exposed insteps showed a red and black color due to the strong ultraviolet rays.

"good!"

"He's a man."

Hearing Wang Zhong's praise, the young man was greatly benefited, with a look of anticipation on his face: "Captain, can I join the guerrillas?"

Wang Chong smiled and said: "Want to join the guerrillas?"

"Yes!" The young man nodded heavily and looked at Wang Zhong with eager eyes.

Wang Zhong raised his hand and rubbed the young man's head again, and said with a smile: "You are too young. Please wait until you grow up a few years before joining us."

"I'm not young anymore!" said the young man, "I'm fourteen."

"Are you fourteen?" Wang Zhong was startled, obviously not expecting that the young man was already fourteen.

The young man was skinny, not tall, and looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old when he was holding a hand. But Wang Zhong suddenly realized that long-term hunger and lack of nutrition made the young man look like

He is so thin and has no body shape for his actual age.

"You are too young and your physical strength and endurance are not as good as those of adults. Just wait two more years!"

Seeing the disappointment in the young man's eyes, Wang Zhong suddenly changed his words: "Although you are still young and have to wait for another two years to officially join our guerrillas, like your Uncle Dashan and the others, you can join the reserve team in advance.

Conduct military training?"

"Really?" The young man's face immediately showed an excited look, and he looked at Wang Zhong with burning eyes.

Wang Zhongdao: "Of course it is true."

"And after joining the reserve team, in addition to training, you have to be responsible for the security work around the camp. You have to protect the safety of the villagers. Once you find that there is danger coming, you have to know how to deal with it. If you are about to be discovered by the Japanese, you have to take care of them quickly.

Let the villagers evacuate."

"If I join the reserve team, will I fire a gun?"

"Of course you have to fire the gun." Wang Zhong said: "If you don't fire the gun, if you really encounter the Japanese, will you still be asked to fight them with hatchets and hoes?"

"Send a gun to me too?"

"hair!"

"Then I want to join the reserve team." The young man said excitedly.

"Okay! When we get back to the camp, I will put you into the reserve team and give you a gun."

"Yeah!"

Children are easy to coax, and I was very happy when I heard that they would be given a gun.

Half an hour later, the temporary camp located halfway up the mountain appeared in front of everyone.

"We're here!" Wang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

The little bookworm hurriedly led a group of villagers to move into the camp. Close to the cliff, there was a large concave area, four to five meters high and stretching for more than 20 meters. It was a natural place to stay.

The surrounding dense woods and shrubs are their best cover.

The fence, which is nearly a person tall and made up of thigh-thick logs, is enough to withstand the attacks of wild beasts in the mountains. Not far away, there are more than a dozen pieces of reclaimed land of various sizes. From the looks of it, it is obvious that people are plowing it frequently.

Wang Zhong led He Dashan and Old Man He to the deepest cave at the end of the mountain wall. He pointed at a large pile of coarse sacks stacked in a warehouse separated by logs and said: "No! Move all these.

Go out and promise you a settlement allowance of ten kilograms of rice per family, which can be cashed in immediately."

"Is all these sacks filled with rice?" Old Man He was stunned when he saw it. Such a large pile probably weighs several thousand kilograms in total. If they save some food, it will be enough to feed all of them for half a year.

.

"Not bad!" Wang Zhong said: "This pile is full of rice, and there is a pile of flour next to it. They are all ground, but there is not so much flour, only more than a hundred kilograms."

"Are these for us?" Old Man He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Wang Zhongdao: "I can give you the ten pounds of rice promised to you, but the rest is the rations for our guerrillas and cannot be given to you."

"But now we are all in the same camp. The villagers can eat these rice and noodles with us, but if there is an emergency and we have to go on a mission, they must be given to us first."

"This is as it should be."

"Uncle He, do you have anything else to ask?"

"there is none left!"

"there is none left!"

Ten minutes later, smoke was rising in the forest. An hour later, everyone was holding the freshly cooked wild vegetable and white rice porridge and feasting on the distributed canned ox blood and grains.

In another twenty minutes, everyone had already eaten and drank enough. The brothers of the commando team held the guns they had just taken out from the warehouse and distributed them to each reserve team.

"Everyone under the age of fourteen, including those under the age of fourteen, will come out to me."

Looking at the more than thirty members of the reserve team standing in front of him, Wang Zhong gave an order, and eight gun-toting youths who were obviously shorter than the people next to them stood up from the team.

"Turn backwards!"

"Let's go together!"

Although there were several teenagers who were indifferent, they still followed the large group out.

Seeing that there were only twenty-four members of the reserve team left, Wang Zhong nodded with satisfaction. Although he led them and the members of the assault team, only two veterans were left in the camp to help maintain order.

Train the seven or eight children aged between eleven and fourteen.

"Our destination this time is the ancient crossing two hundred miles away. It is the only way from Myanmar to Nantianmen. All vehicles going from Myanmar to Nantianmen must pass there."

"Our target this time is the Japanese transport trucks sent to Nantianmen."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This group of mud-legged people who have been lacking nutrition all year round and can't even eat enough. If they follow Wang Zhong's past behavior, they must be allowed to nourish themselves for a few days first to regain their energy.

Let’s talk about it after we have enough.

But time was running out now, and Wang Zhong was not given enough time at all. He could only pull them out after giving them a meal and settling in with their relatives and elders.

"Captain, the Japs have been attacked by us several times. Do you think they would have taken precautions this time, tied their pockets, and waited for us to dive in?" Bu La emerged from nowhere,

He got next to Wang Zhong and expressed his worries.

Wang Zhongdao: "It's not whether you can, but you must be prepared and have your pockets tied."

"Then what are we going to do at the ancient road entrance?" Bu La looked at Wang Zhong in confusion.

Wang Zhongdao: "Because although it is the only road from Myanmar to Nantianmen, the terrain is very open and the road is wide. No matter how smart the Japanese are, they would never imagine that we would choose to ambush them in such an open area."

"Open space?" Not only was it no longer hot, but other people also looked at Wang Zhong in confusion.

They are all veterans who have fought many battles with Wang Zhong, so they naturally know what open space means.

"Ambush in the open? Which one?" The first sentence is a rhetorical question, and the latter sentence is a question, which vividly reflects the complicated thoughts in Yao Ma's heart at this moment.

"You'll know when we get there!" Wang Zhong said with a mysterious face.

Although everyone was confused, they had no doubts out of their trust in Wang Zhong.

It wasn't until two days later that everyone came to the ancient road entrance and were stunned when they looked at the road in front of them in the middle of a low-lying plain.

"Captain, there's no way to prepare for an ambush in this kind of terrain!"

The name "Gudaokou" has a very simple origin. It was originally the entrance to an ancient road leading to Nantianmen, because this road is an ancient road crossing the border between China and Myanmar. Once you embark on this road, you can

Directly to Nantianmen.

“Not spicy!”

"Kang Ya!"

"Li Liansheng!

"Show everything you brought."

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, several people walked up to the group and opened their backpacks, revealing several large backpacks full of things.

"Landmines?"

"Where did you get so many landmines?"

Everyone gasped in unison.

Dig a hole and bury the mine, and be ready to pull the lead at any time.

Fortunately, a few people didn't start a fight, they just yelled and helped to steam me and the house together.
